Microfluidic chips such as lab-on-a-chip (LOC) include micro-channels for sample delivery, mixing, reaction, and separation. Pressure driven flow or electro-osmotic flow (EOF) has been usually employed to deliver bio-samples. Having some advantages of easy control, the flow characteristics of EOF in microchannels should be fully understood to effectively control the electro-osmotic pump for bio-sam-pie delivery. In this study, a micro PIV system with an epifluorescence inverted microscope and a cooled CCD was used to measure velocity fields of EOF in a glass microchannel and a PDMS microchannel. The EOF velocity fields were changed with respect to electric charge of seeding particles and microchannel materials used. The EOF has nearly uniform velocity distribution inside the microchannel when pressure gradient effect is negligible. The mean streamwise velocity is nearly proportional to the applied electric field. Glass microchannels give better repeatability in PIV results, compared with PDMS microchannels which are easy to fabricate and more suitable for PIV experiments.

다상 에멀젼의 제조에 있어 염이 존재하지 않을 시 삼투 현상으로 인해 내부의 수상이 외부로 모두 방출되어 다상 에멀젼이 형성되지 않음으로 내상에 NaCl 과 같은 염의 최소한의 함량이 필요하다. 그러나 이에 따른 부작용으로 내상에 염이 존재하면 외상에서 내상으로의 삼투압이 형성되게 된다. 따라서 삼투압의 균형은 다상 에멀젼의 초기 수시간 동안의 안정화에 중요하며, 삼투압 균형에 있어 내상이 외상보다 높은 것이 안정성이 높다는 것을 실험으로 확인하였으며, 본 연구 결과 삼투압을 감소시키는 방법으로 외부 수상에 NaCl같은 전해질이나 베타인, 글루코스와 같은 삼투 효과가 있는 단당류 보습 성분의 투입이 필요하다. 특히, 베타인과 글루코스는 우수한 삼투압 감소 효과가 있었으며 이에 따른 다상 에멀젼의 입자 안정성 증가도 확인할 수 있었다 또한 내부 수상에 사용한 전해질 중에서 NaCl 이 MgSO4 보다 내부 W/O 상의 지속력 및 W/O/W 다상의 입자 안정성 면에서 우수하였다. 이는 NaCl 이 MgSO4 보다 물에 대한 용해도와 삼투압 자체가 크고 2 가 이온에 비해 다상 에멀전 형성시 주요 계면활성제에 미치는 영향이 적어 안정성이 증가된 것으로 판단된다.

In this study a newly designed electro-osmotic micro-mixer is proposed. This study is composed of a channel and metal electrodes attached locally on the side wall surface ultimately to control the mixing effect. To obtain the flow patterns, numerical computation was performed by using a commercial code, CFD-ACE. The fluid-flow solutions are the cast into studying the characteristics of stirring in terms of the mixing index. It was shown that the local control of the electric potential can indeed contribute to the enhancement of mixing effect.

Many important properties in colloidal systems are usually determined by surface charge ($\zeta$-potential) of the contacted solid surface. In this study, $\zeta$-potential of glass $\mu$-channel was evaluated from the electro-osmotic velocity distribution. The electro-osmotic velocity inside a glass $\mu$-channel was measured using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. This evaluation method is more simple and easy to approach, compared with the traditional streaming potential technique. The $\zeta$-potential in the glass $\mu$-channel was measured for two different mole NaCl solutions. The effect of an anion surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the electro-osmotic velocity and $\zeta$-potential in the glass surface was also studied. In the range of $0\∼6$mM, the surfactant SDS was added to NaCl solution in four different mole concentrations. As a result, the addition of SDS increases $\zeta$-potential in the surface of the glass $\mu$-channel. The measured $\zeta$-potential was found to vary from-260 to-70mV. When negatively charged particles were used, the flow direction was opposite compared with that of neutral particles. The $\zeta$-potential has a positive sign for the negative particles.

Many important properties in colloidal systems are usually determined by surface charge $({\zeta}-potential)$ of the contacted solid surface. In this study, ${\zeta}-potential$ of glass ${\mu}-channel$ was evaluated from the electro-osmotic velocity distribution. The electro-osmotic velocity inside a glass f-channel was measured using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. This evaluation method is more simple and easy to approach, compared with the traditional streaming potential technique. The ${\zeta}-potential$ in the glass ${\mu}-channel$ was measured fur two different mole NaCl solutions. The effect of an anion surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the electro-osmotic velocity and f-potential in the glass surface was also studied. In the range of $0{\sim}6mM$, the surfactant SDS was added to NaCl solution in few different mole concentrations. As a result, the addition of SDS increases ${\zeta}-potential$ in the surface of the glass ${\mu}-channel$. The measured $\zeta-potential$ was found to vary from -260 to -70mV. When negatively charged particles were used, the flow direction was opposite compared with that of neutral particles. The ${\zeta}-potential$ has a positive sign for the negative particles.

Purpose: This study examines deficits in upper-extremity function and trunk control ability on the osmotic demyelination syndrome of a patient with Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia. Using a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation program, this case report aims to describe the effects of trunk stability exercises on trunk control ability, hand function, and daily living activities as well as its effects on the osmotic demyelination syndrome of a patient with Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia. Methods: The patient is a 47-year-old woman with osmotic demyelination syndrome as well as trunk and upper extremity impairment. She participated in this training intervention for four weeks. Results: The patient demonstrated improvements in trunk control ability, hand function, and performance of ADL. The following outcomes were measured before and after the training program: trunk impairment scale, hand power, Jebsen-Taylor hand function test, the Chedoke arm and hand inventory, and the modified Barthel index. Conclusion: The results suggest that trunk stability exercises in the form of a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation program in Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia patients may increase trunk control ability, increase hand function, and improve ADL.

경구를 통한 약물전달시스템 중 하나인 삼투압을 이용한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 타블렛 제형이 갖는 제조 공정상의 복잡함과, 생산비용 등의 문제들을 줄이고자 시도되었다. 삼투정 펠렛은 수팽윤성 시드층과 약물층 그리고 반투막층으로 구성되었으며, 이중에서 반투막층은 약물의 방출을 조절하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 이번 연구에서는 반투막층으로 사용되는 Eudragit RL과 RS의 비에 대한 영향과 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동을 확인하고자 하였다. 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 유동층 코팅기를 이용하여 제조하였으며, 비교적 높은 코팅 수율과 $1300{\sim}1500\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 펠렛을 얻었다. 얻어진 펠렛의 Eudragit RL과 RS의 비에 따른 약물방출 거동을 보면, Eudragit RL의 비가 증가할수록 약물의 방출은 증가함을 확인하였다. 이는 Eudragit RL이 RS보다 친수성 4차 암모늄 그룹을 더 많이 갖기 때문이다. 또한 반투막의 코팅 두께가 증가할수록 약물의 방출이 지연됨을 확인하였다. 반투막과 모델약물의 pH의 변화에 대한 약물방출의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 pH 1.2, 6.5, 6.8, 7.2의 서로 다른 pH에서 실험을 실시하였으며, pH의 변화에 관계없이 약물방출이 안정적으로 일어남을 확인하였다. 이번 실험을 통하여 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출은 펠렛의 반투막 조성과 코팅두께에 의존함을 확인하였다.

As a process to establish an effective preventive measure of V. vulnificus septicemia, bactericidal effect of distilled water against V. vulnificus was studied. When about $2.0{\times}10^7\;CFU/ml$ of V. vulnificus was inoculated in distilled water, a dramatic decrease in the number of viable bacteria by 5 to $6LOG_{10}$ was observed in 5 minutes. Bactericidal kinetic curves could be divided into the first rapid killing phase until 1 minute and the later slow killing phase after then, showing the heterogeneity of the bacterial population inoculated. When V. vulnificus was inoculated in saline solutions having various salinities, significant decrease in the number of viable bacteria was noted only at salinities under 0.2%. The higher was the concentration of NaCl, the greater was the degree of protection against osmotic shock. When glucose, NaCl, $MgCl_2$, and $CaCl_2$ were diluted with deionized water to give same osmolarities and V. vulnificus was inoculated in each of them to compare the bactericidal curves plotted during the first 5 minutes after inoculation, the protection efficiencies were in the order of $MgCl_2>CaCl_2{\gg}NaCl{\gg}glucose$. Above results indicate that treatment(or thorough washing) of contaminated sea animals or other products with distilled water can be used as a preventive measure of V. vulnificus septicemia, and divalent cations can protect V. vulnifcus to osmotic shock with high efficiency.

In this study, the effect of osmotic drying conditions of mangoes on hot air drying was investigated. Four different osmotic agents of 60 Brix, such as S60, SM10, HF80, and SG25, were prepared. Mango slabs were osmotically dried with the agents at a ratio of 1:4 (w/w) for up to 8 hours. SG25 showed the lowest weight reduction and moisture loss during the process. As a result of hot-air drying, all samples showed a high correlation with the Page model (0.9761~0.9997), and the required drying time of all samples that were osmotically dried was reduced compared to the non-osmotically dried group. After hot-air drying, the pH value increased according to the drying temperature. The L, a, and b values and the total polyphenol content also decreased. Through this study, the possibility of osmotic drying was confirmed to increase the efficiency of hot air drying of mangoes, which is expected to contribute to the industrial use of domestic mangoes.
