본 연구의 목적은 제연구역 출입문의 최적 설계를 위한 플로어힌지(floor-hinge) 및 도어클로저(door closer)의 기준을 제시하는데 있다. 차압에 대한 개방력은 60 Pa일 때 60.75 N, 40 Pa일 때 40.5 N, 32.5 Pa일 때 32.91 N, 12.5 Pa일 때 12.66 N 등이다. KS F 2806의 기준을 적용한 플로어힌지 및 도어클로저의 개방력은 No.1은 27.5 N, No. 2는 40 N, No. 3는 75 N, No. 4는 100 N, No. 5는 125 N 등이다. 차압과 플로어힌지 및 도어클로저의 개방력을 NFSC 501A의 개방력 제한값과 비교한 결과 기준을 초과하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 NFSC 501A 차압과 방연 풍속을 설계에 반영하는 것뿐만 아니라 개방력도 설계에 반영할 필요가 있다. 제연댐퍼의 종류에 따라 출입문의 플로어힌지 및 도어클로저의 설치 조건은 호칭에 따라 다르다. 저차압용의 경우는 No. 1, No. 2, No. 3의 설치가 가능하며, 일반 차압용의 경우에는 No. 1, No. 2의 설치가 가능하였다.

A 27 bp $tRNA^{Gly}$ region (att1) was identified as the integration site for a 12,384 bp Pfl-derived genomic island containing 15 open reading frames (ORFs) from PA0715 to PA0729 in P. aeruginosa strain PAOl. Homologous island was observed in P. aeruginosa strain PA14, but not in P. aeruginosa strain K (PAK). We isolated the Pfl island from PA14, and determined its 10,657 bp sequences containing 14 ORFs, with significant sequence variations near the borders. In contrast to the PAO1 Pfl island, the PA14 Pfl island was integrated at the 10 bp att2 site between PA1191 and PA1192. The attl site of PA14, however, was still occupied by a third genetic segment, whereas both attl and att2 sites of PAK remained unutilized. These results exemplify an extensive genomic variation of Pfl-related islands involving differential genetic organizations and differential att site utilizations.

Objective : Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is described as a clinical syndrome characterized by sudden headache, vomiting, visual impairment, and meningismus caused by rapid enlargement of a pituitary adenoma, We retrospectively analyzed the clinical presentation and surgical outcome in PA presenting with cranial neuropathy. Methods : Twelve cases (33%) of PA were retrospectively reviewed among 359 patients diagnosed with pituitary adenoma, The study included 6 males and 6 females, Mean age of patients was 49,0 years, with a range of 16 to 74 years, Follow-up duration ranged from 3 to 20 months, with an average of 12 months, All patients were submitted to surgery, using the transsphenoidal approach (TSA). Results : Symptoms included abrupt headache (11/12), decreased visual acuity (12/12), visual field defect (11/12), and cranial nerve palsy of the third (5/12) and sixth (2/12) Mean height of the mass was 29.0 mm (range 15-46) Duration between the ictus and operation ranged from 1 to 15 days (mean 7.0) The symptom duration before operation and the recovery period of cranial neuropathy correlated significantly (p = 0.0286) TSA resulted in improvement of decreased visual acuity in 91.6%, visual field defect in 54.5%, and cranial neuropathy in 100% at 3 months after surgery. Conclusion : PA is a rare event, complicating 3.3% in our series, Even in blindness following pituitary apoplexy cases, improvement of cranial neuropathy is possible if adequate management is initiated in time, Surgical decompression must be considered as soon as possible in cases with severe visual impairment or cranial neuropathy.

Phospholipase D (PLD) is an enzyme hydrolyzing phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. We investigated the involvement of PLD1 in the uptake of norepinephrine (NE) in PC12 cells, pheochromocytoma cells. NE uptake was specific in PC12 cells because nomifensine, a specific blocker of NE transporter, blocked NE uptake. Inhibition of PLD function in PC12 cells by the treatment of butanol suppressed the NE uptake. In contrast, overexpression of PLD1 in PC12 cells increased NE uptake efficiently. These results suggest that PLD activity is involved in NE uptake. We explored the action mechanism of PLD in NE uptake. PA phosphatase inhibitor, propranolol, blocks the formation of PKC activator diacylglycerol from PA. Propranolol treatment to PC12 cells blocked dramatically the uptake of NE. Specific PKC inhibitors, GF109203X and Ro31-8220, blocked NE uptake. Taken together, we suggest for the first time that PLD1 activity is involved in NE uptake via the activation of PKC.

Objectives: Extensively destroyed teeth are commonly restored with composite resin before cavity preparation for indirect restorations. The longevity of the restoration can be related to the proper bonding of the resin cement to the composite. This study aimed to evaluate the microshear bond strength of two self-adhesive resin cements to composite resin. Material and Methods: Composite discs were subject to one of six different surface pretreatments: none (control), 35% phosphoric acid etching for 30 seconds (PA), application of silane (silane), PA + silane, PA + adhesive, or PA + silane + adhesive (n = 6). A silicone mold containing a cylindrical orifice ($1mm^2$ diameter) was placed over the composite resin. RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE) or BisCem (Bisco Inc.) self-adhesive resin cement was inserted into the orifices and light-cured. Self-adhesive cement cylinders were submitted to shear loading. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Results: Independent of the cement used, the PA + Silane + Adhesive group showed higher microshear bond strength than those of the PA and PA + Silane groups. There was no difference among the other treatments. Unicem presented higher bond strength than BisCem for all experimental conditions. Conclusions: Pretreatments of the composite resin surface might have an effect on the bond strength of self-adhesive resin cements to this substrate.

Background: We previously elucidated the protective mechanism of Korean red ginseng oil (RGO) against Brucella abortus infection, and our phytochemical analysis revealed that palmitic acid (PA) was an abundant component of RGO. Consequently, we investigated the contribution of PA against B. abortus. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the efficacy of PA against B. abortus infection using a murine cell line and a murine model. Methods: Cell viability, bactericidal, internalization, and intracellular replication, western blot, nitric oxide (NO), and superoxide (O₂^-) analyses and flow cytometry were performed to determine the effects of PA on the progression of B. abortus infection in macrophages. Flow cytometry for cytokine analysis of serum samples and bacterial counts from the spleens were performed to determine the effect of PA in a mouse model. Results: PA did not affect the growth of B. abortus. PA treatment in macrophages did not change B. abortus uptake but it did attenuate the intracellular survivability of B. abortus. Incubation of cells with PA resulted in a modest increase in sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. Compared to control cells, reduced nitrite accumulation, augmented O₂^-, and enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine production were observed in PA-treated B. abortus-infected cells. Mice orally treated with PA displayed a decreased serum interleukin-10 level and enhanced bacterial resistance. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PA participates in the control of B. abortus within murine macrophages, and the in vivo study results confirm its efficacy against the infection. However, further investigations are encouraged to completely characterize the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of B. abortus infection by fatty acids.

Nalidixic acid(NA), piromidic acid(PA)를 사육수온 ($13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$, $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$)에 따라서 조피볼락(평균체중 $500{\pm}30\;g$)에 60 mg/kg의 농도로 1회 경구투여한 다음, 시간경과에 따라 혈청 내 잔류농도를 분석하였다. $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 투여 후 NA는 24시간째($5.87\;{\mu}g/ml$), PA도 24시간째($0.43\;{\mu}g/ml$)에 각각 최대혈중농도에 도달하였다. $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 투여 후 NA는 10시간 째($6.22\;{\mu}g/ml$), PA도 10시간째($1.57\;{\mu}g/ml$)에 각각 최대혈중농도에 도달하였다. PA의 조피볼락 혈중 내 흡수정도는 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$보다 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$에서 매우 높게 나타났으며, NA는 수온에 따른 차이가 크지 않았다. NA 및 PA의 조피볼락 혈중 내 소실정도는 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$ 보다 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$에서 두드러지게 빨랐다. NA 및 PA는 one-compartment model로 해석(WinNonlin program)하여 약물동태학적 변수(parameter)를 조사하였다. $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 혈장농도-시간곡선하 면적(AUC)은 NA, PA가 각각 161.25 및 $41.57\;{\mu}g{\cdot}h/ml$, 반감기($T_{1/2}$)는 0.15 h 및 0.58 h, 혈중최고농도의 도달 시간($T_{max}$)은 12.29 및 8.24 h, 혈중최고농도($C_{max}$)는 3.85 및 $0.21\;{\mu}g/ml$로 계산되었다. $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, AUC는 NA, PA가 각각 134.42 및 $40.36\;{\mu}g{\cdot}h/ml$, $T_{1/2}$은 0.18 h 및 0.59 h, $T_{max}$는 10.67 및 21.15 h, $C_{max}$는 8.91 및 $3.09\;{\mu}g/ml$로 계산되었다.

봄무우 유식물의 자엽과 하배축에서 저온처리동안 변화하는 polyamine(PA)의 농도를 분석하고, PA이 저온 스트레스와 관련이 있는지를 분석하였다. 자엽에서 저온 스트레스동안 putrescine(PUT)의 농도가 증가되었고, 전반적으로 PUT와 spermidine(SPD) 농도의 변화가 심하였다. 따라서 PUT와 SPD는 저온 스트레스의 조건하에서 합성되거나 또는 유리된 것이다. 그러나 spermine(SPM)의 농도에는 거의 변화가 없었다. 하배축의 대조구에는 SPD만이 존재하고, 저온 스트레스를 주면, 유리된 PA의 농다가 증가되었고, 지속된 저온 스트레스동안 PA의 농도가 급속히 감소되었다. 하배축은 일반적으로 저온처리에 매우 예민성을 나타내는 것으로보아, 자엽과 비교해서 세포내에 PA의 농도가 낮기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 자엽에서 PUT과 SPD가 저온 스트레스의 저항력에 관여하고, 하배축에서는 PA이 저온 스트레스에 대한 저항력의 증대와 아무 관련이 없는 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과로 PUT와 SPD는 저온 스트레스에 대항하여 저항력을 증대시키는 것으로 판단된다.

A series of direct shear tests were implemented on three different types of specimens (i.e., clean Perth sand, sand containing 10, 20 and 30% bentonite, sand containing 1, 3 and 5% slag, and sand containing 10, 20 and 30% bentonite with increasing percentages of added slag (1%, 3% and 5%). This paper focuses on the shear stress characteristics of clean sand and sand mixtures. The samples were tested under different three normal stresses (100, 150 and 200 kPa) and three curing periods of no curing time, 7 and 14 days. It was observed that the shear stresses of clean sand and mixtures were increased with increasing normal stresses. In addition, the use of slag has improved the shear strength of the sand-slag mixtures; the shear stresses rose from 128.642 kPa in the clean sand at normal stress of 200 kPa to 146.89 kPa, 154 kPa and 161.14 kPa when sand was mixed with 1%, 3% and 5% slag respectively and tested at the same normal stress. Internal friction angle increased from $32.74^{\circ}$ in the clean sand to $34.87^{\circ}$, $37.12^{\circ}$ and $39.4^{\circ}$ when sand was mixed with 1%, 3% and 5% slag respectively and tested at 100, 150, and 200 kPa normal stresses. The cohesion of sand-bentonite mixtures increased from 3.34 kPa in 10% bentonite to 22.9 kPa, 70.6 kPa when sand was mixed with 20% and 30% bentonite respectively. All the mixtures of clean sand, different bentonite and slag contents showed different behaviour; some mixtures exhibited shear stress more than clean sand whereas others showed less than clean sand. The internal friction angle increased, and cohesion decreased with increasing curing time.
