Titanium and its alloys are finding increasing use in medical devices and dental implants. The strong selling point of titanium is its resistance to the highly corrosive body fluids in which an implant must survive. This corrosion resistance is due to a tenacious passive oxide or film which exists on the metal's surface and renders it passive. Potentiodynamic polarization measurement is one of the most commonly used electro-chemical methods that have been applied to measure corrosion rates. And the potentiodynamic polarization test supplies detailed information such as open circuit, rupture, and passivation potential. Furthermore, it indicates the passive range and sensitivity to pitting corrosion. This study was designed to compare the corrosion resistance of the commonly used dental implant materials such as CP Ti, Ti-6A1-4V, Co-Cr-Mo alloy, and 316L stainless steel. And the effects of galvanic couples between titanium and the dental alloys were assessed for their useful-ness-as. materials for superstructure. The working electrode is the specimen , the reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), and the counter electrode is made of carbon. In $N_2-saturated$ 0.9% NaCl solutions, the potential scanning was performed starting from -800mV (SCE) and the scan rate was 1 mV/sec. At least three different polarization measurements were carried out for each material on separate specimen. The galvanic corrosion measurements were conducted in the zero-shunt ammeter with an implant supraconstruction surface ratio of 1:1. The contact current density was recorded over a 24-hour period. The results were as follows : 1. In potential-time curve, all specimens became increasingly more noble after immersion in the test solution and reached between -70mV and 50mV (SCE) respectively after 12 hours. 2. The Ti and Ti alloy in the saline solution were most resistant to corrosion. They showed the typical passive behavior which was exhibited over the entire experimental range. Therefore no breakdown potentials were observed. 3. Comparing the rupture potentials, Ti and Ti alloy had the high(:st value (because their break-down potentials were not observed in this study potential range ) followed by Co-Cr-Mo alloy and stainless steel (316L). So , the corrosion resistance of titanium was cecellent, Co-Cr-Mo alloy slightly inferior and stainless steel (316L) much less. 4. The contact current density sinks faster than any other galvanic couple in the case of Ti/gold alloy. 5. Ag-Pd alloy coupled with Ti yielded high current density in the early stage. Furthermore, Ti became anodic. 6. Ti/Ni-Cr alloy showed a relatively high galvanic current and a tendency to increase.

Slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) is characterized as one of the most harmful agriculture and food industrial wastewaters due to its high organic content. The emissions of SWW would cause eutrophication of surface water and pollution of groundwater. This study developed a pilot scale anaerobic-aerobic slaughterhouse wastewater treatment process (AASWWTP) to enhance the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN) removal. The optimum supernatant reflux position and ratio for TN removal were investigated through the modified Box-Behnken design (BBD) experiments. Results showed that COD could be effectively reduced over the whole modified BBD study and the removal efficiency was all higher than 98%. The optimum reflux position and ratio were suggested to be 2 alure and 100%, respectively, where effluent TN concentration was satisfied with the forthcoming Chinese discharge standard of 25 mg/L. Anaerobic digestion and ammonia oxidation were considered as the main approaches for COD and TN removal in the AASWWTP. The results of inorganic nutrients (K⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺) indicated that the SWW was suitable for biological treatment and the correspondingly processes such as AASWWTP should be widely researched and popularized. Therefore, AASWWTP is a promising technology for SWW treatment but more research is needed to further improve the operating efficiency.

Although chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) is a promising immunotherapy in hematological malignancies, there remain many obstacles to CART cell therapy for solid tumors. Identifying appropriate tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) is especially critical for success. Using a bioinformatics approach, we identified common potential TAAs for CAR-T cell immunotherapy in solid tumors. We used the GEO database as a training dataset to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and verified candidates using the TCGA database, obtaining seven common DEGs (HM13, SDC1, MST1R, HMMR, MIF, CD24, and PDIA4). Then, we used MERAV to analyze the expression of six genes in normal tissues to determine the ideal target genes. Finally, we analyzed tumor microenvironment factors. The results of major microenvironment factor analyses showed that MDSCs, CXCL1, CXCL12, CXCL5, CCL2, CCL5, TGF- β, CTLA-4, and IFN-γ were significantly overexpressed in breast cancer. The expression of MST1R was positively correlated with TGF- β, CTLA-4, and IFN-γ. In lung adenocarcinoma, MDSCs, Tregs, CXCL12, CXCL5, CCL2, PD-L1, CTLA-4, and IFN-γ were significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues. The expression of MST1R was positively correlated with TGF- β, CTLA-4, and IFN-γ. In bladder cancer, CXCL12, CCL2, and CXCL5 were significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues. MST1R expression was positively correlated with TGF- β. Our results demonstrate that MST1R has the potential as a new target antigen for treating breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and bladder cancer and may be used as a progression indicator for bladder cancer.

본 실험에서는 microtiter plate를 이용하는 실내 검정법을 이용하여 고추 탄저병균의 기주체 침입 초기에 볼 수 있는 형태 변화인 포자 발아 및 부착과 균사 생장에 미치는 다양한 화합물의 활성을 대량으로 검정할 수 있는 방법을 확립하였고, 기존의 몇 가지 살균제가 가지는 고추 탄저병균의 초기 형태 분화 에 대한 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 본 실내 검정법을 표준화하기 위하여 MTT와 propanol 처리, 접종하는 포자의 농도, 배양 시간들이 병원균의 흡광도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. MTT를 12 시간, propanol을 1 시간 처리하였을 때, 그리고 JC24 의 포자를 $1\times10^5$개/mL의 농도로 접종하고 36 시간 배양하였을 때, 병원균의 흡광도가 일관성 있고 높게 나타났다. 살균제의 작용 특성을 알아보기 위해서 6종의 보호용 살균제, 6종의 스테롤 생합성 저해 살균제, 1종의 호흡저해제를 선발하여 microtiter plate 대량 검정 방법에서 효과를 조사하였다. 보호용 살균제 중에서 mancozeb, chlorothalonil, dithianone 등은 $6.25{\mu}g/mL$ 처리구에서도 포자의 발아, 부착과 균사의 생장을 모두 80% 이상 억제하였으나, propineb, iminoctadine, fluazinam 등은 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 처리를 2 시간만에 세척하였을 때 흡광도가 감소하는 것으로 보아 포자 부착 억제 효과는 적었다. 6종의 스테롤 생합성 저해제 중에서 hexaconazole, tebuconazole, myclobutanil 등은 포자의 발아와 균사 생육을 억제하고, 세척할 경우 JC24의 생육 억제 효과가 떨어지는 것을 보아 부착 억제 효과는 기대할 수 없었다. Nuarimol 은 $100{\mu}g/mL$로 처리한 고농도에서만 부착에 대한 억제 효과가 54.7%로 다른 억제 효과보다 우수하였으나, $6.25{\mu}g/mL$의 저농도로 처리하였을 때는 부착 억제 효과가 나타나지 않았다. Kresoxim-methyl은 6.25와 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 포자 부착에 대한 억제율이 27.3%와 54.4%로 나타났는데, 처리하는 농도가 높아짐에 따라서 효과도 증가하였다. 이상의 결과와 같이 때 microtiter plate를 사용하여 병원균이 식물체를 침입하는 초기에 나타나는 포자 발아와 부착, 그리고 균사 생장을 검정할 수 있었으며, 본 실험 방법을 통하여 Kresoxim-methyl은 탄저병균의 포자 부착을 특이적으로 억제하는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Recent studies have demonstrated that human periodontal ligament cells express receptor activation of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) which enhances the bone resorbing activity of osteoclasts differentiated from hematopoietic preosteoclasts. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of p38 MAPK and JNK kinase upon regulating RANKL and OPG in response to $IL-1{\beta}$(l ng/ml) in rat periodontal ligament cells. Soluble RANKL was measured by immunoassay. The effects of p38 MAPK on RANKL and OPG expression was determined by RT-PCR. The results were as follows: 1. Periodontal ligament cells which stimulated by $IL-1{\beta}$ increased soluble RANKL synthesis by dose-dependent pattern. 2. p38 MAP kinase inhibitor (SB203580) showed regulation of soluble RANKL expression by dose-dependent manners. 3. p38 MAP kinase inhibitor (SB203580) regulated the expression of RANKL, but it dose regulate the expresseion of OPG. 4. JNK (c-jun $NH_2-terminal$ kinase) inhibitor (PD98059) did not regulate mRANKL and mOPG. These results suggested that p38 MAPK play a significant role in RANKL gene expression.

Four rumen-fistulated crossbred beef cattle (Brahman native) were randomly assigned according to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design experiment to be fed plant herb supplements in their concentrate mixture. The treatments were: without herb supplementation (Control), lemongrass meal supplementation at 100 g/d (L), lemongrass meal supplementation at 100 g/d plus peppermint powder at 10 g/d (LP), and lemongrass meal supplementation at 100 g/d plus peppermint powder at 10 g/d with garlic powder 40 g/d (LPG), respectively. Based on the present study, the DMI and apparent digestibility of DM, OM, aNDF and ADF were not affected by dietary herb supplementation while CP digestibility tended to be decreased by herb supplement. Moreover, $NH_3$-N and BUN were decreased in all herb supplemented treatments and there was a tendency to an increase in ruminal pH in all herb supplemented groups. While there was no change in TVFA and C4 among lemongrass treatments, C2 was decreased in all herb supplemented treatments while C3 was increased. Methane production by calculation was the lowest in the LP and LPG groups. Population sizes of bacteria and protozoa were decreased in all herb supplemented groups, but not fungal zoospores. In all supplemented groups, total viable and proteolytic bacteria were decreased, while amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria were similar. More importantly, in all herb supplemented groups, there were higher N balances, while there was no difference among treatments on purine derivative (PD) excretion or microbial N. Based on the results above, it could be concluded that there was no negative effect on ruminal fermentation characteristics and nutrient utilization by plant herb supplement, but protozoal population and $CH_4$ production were reduced. Thus, lemongrass alone or in combination with peppermint and garlic powder could be used as feed additives to improve rumen fermentation efficiency.
