[ $Zr_{50}-Ni_{27}-Nb_{18}-Co_5$ ] amorphous alloys ribbon was prepared by a single-roller melt-spinning technique. In order to improve the hydrogen kinetics Pd-coating were carried out on each side of the amorphous ribbon. Pd prevents oxidation of Zr and catalyses the dissociation of molecular hydrogen to atomic hydrogen. In this work, the hydrogen embrittlement and surface properties on Zr-based amorphous alloys were investigated. The Zr-based amorphous alloys were characterized by X-ray diffractometry(XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The morphology of surface and roughness was observed by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A lattice parameter of both Pd and Zr-based amorphous alloy was increased after hydrogen permeation at 473 K. After hydrogen permeation at 473 K, some cracks were observed on the surface of Pd, which was the cause for the hydrogen embrittlement. The crystallization temperature of Zr-based amorphous alloy was decreased due to the permeated hydrogen.

An experimental investigation has been performed in order to understand the $\Phi$-q-n characteristics related to the PD taking place from the various size of artificial defects inserted in epoxy insulation. In this purpose, PD has been detected simultaneously by two different methods such as commercialized PD detector(TE571) and our detection system using self designed CT type sensor. Under the presence of void in epoxy insulation, PD has been initiated at the voltages between 16kV and 20kV which are much lower than the dielectric strength of epoxy insulation (130kV/mm$\sim$l50kV/mm). And also it is revealed that $\Phi$-q-n characteristics have been observed to be dependent upon the size of the artificial defects. Throughout this work, the on site applicability of the self designed Sensor has also been proved by comparing the results with those from the commercialized PD detector. And more one, considerable basic data regarding the insulation, diagnosis could be provided to understand the presence of the voids possibly inserted into the epoxy insulation system of the power apparatus.

This paper describes a low-level partial discharge(PD) testing that has been accepted as a non-destructive test method on insulation performance of electronic components. A comparative PD analysis combined with the Withstand Voltage Test (WVT) specified in IEC standards is carried out on high frequency switching transformers. The analysis shows that insulation degradation of the transformers under test progresses during the WVT. To avoid insulation degradation of the specimen, PD test has to be carried out at as low voltage as possible. In this study, the PD test on the transformers is performed in ranges from 50% to 70% of the test voltage specified in the WVT by measuring apparent charges below 1 pC. From the experimental results, it is expects that the low-level PD test is applicable for electronic components as a replacement of the WVT.

Background: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), a transmembrane protein, binds to the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor, and anti-PD-1 therapy enables immune responses against tumors. This study aimed to assess clinical characteristics of PD-L1 expression using immunohistochemistry among Korean patients with lung cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with pathologically proven lung cancer from a single institution. PD-L1 expression determined by Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) was detected using 22C3 pharmDx (Agilent Technologies) and SP263 (Ventana Medical Systems) assays. Results: From July 2016 to July 2017, 267 patients were enrolled. The main histologic type was adenocarcinoma (69.3%). Most participants were smokers (67.4%) and had clinical stage IV disease (60.7%). In total, 116 (42%) and 58 (21%) patients had TPS ${\geq}1%$ and ${\geq}50%$, respectively. The patients were significantly older in TPS ${\geq}1%$ group than in TPS <1% group ($64.83{\pm}9.38years$ vs. $61.73{\pm}10.78years$, p=0.014), not in TPS ${\geq}50%$ cutoff value ($64.69{\pm}9.39$ vs. $62.36{\pm}10.51$, p=0.178). Regarding histologic grade, higher proportions of poorly differentiated tumor were observed in the TPS ${\geq}1%$ (40.8% vs. 25.8%, p=0.020) and TPS ${\geq}50%$ groups (53.2% vs. 27.2%, p=0.004). Among 34 patients examined with 22C3 and SP263 assays, 27 had positive results in both assays, with a cutoff of TPS ${\geq}1%$ (r=0.826; 95% confidence interval, 0.736-0.916). Conclusion: PD-L1 expression, defined as TPS ${\geq}1%$, was related to older age and poorly differentiated histology. There was a similar distribution of PD-L1 expression in both 22C3 and SP263 results.

Electrode systems: a protrusion on conductor (POC), a protrusion on enclosure (POE), a crack in epoxy plate and a free particle (FP) were fabricated to simulate insulation defects in a gas insulated switchgear (GIS). $SF_6$ gas was filled in the electrode systems by 3 bar and/or 5 bar, respectively. Partial discharge (PD) pulses were detected through a $50{\Omega}$ non-inductive resistor. A calibration test was carried out according to IEC 60270, and the sensitivity was 0.25 pC/mV. PD pulses were distributed in the phase of $50^{\circ}{\sim}135^{\circ}$ and over 95% of them existed in the phase of $55^{\circ}{\sim}120^{\circ}$ for the POC. PD pulses were distributed in the phase of $230^{\circ}{\sim}310^{\circ}$ and over 90% of them existed in phase of $220^{\circ}{\sim}300^{\circ}$ for the POE. PD pulses occurred in the phase of $40^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ and $220^{\circ}{\sim}300^{\circ}$ for the crack, and pulse counts were 25% higher in negative polarity than in positive polarity. PD pulses were distributed in every phase unlike to other three electrode systems and the peak magnitude was measured at $118^{\circ}$ and $260^{\circ}$ for the FP. As described above, PD pulses were observed in positive polarity for the POC, in negative one for the POE, in both one for the crack and the FP. In conclusion, it is expected that the identification rate of defect type can be improved by considering the polarity ratio of PD pulses on the PRPDA method.

We prepared Cu oxides, and Ni and Pd-TiO2@SiO2 core-shellnanostructures, and tested their CO oxidation performances by temperature-programmed mass spectrometry. We found the starting temperatures of CO oxidation are around $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for Ni and Pd-TiO2@SiO2 nanostructures, respectively. Cu oxides are cubes with 50~200 nm with, prepared with different concentrations of NaOH and ascorbic acid. For the core-shell structures, we prepared 100 nm SiO2 spheres, first coated the surface with TiO2 precursor, and then coated with Ni and Pd. Their characteristics are further examined by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscope, FT-IR, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.

We proposed a new sensitivity verification method for the UHF partial discharge(PD) detection system. Initially, we measure the UHF power induced by 5 pC PD which takes place near UHF sensor. Subsequently, we inject the swept UHF signal from a network analyzer into the GIS and measure the attenuation of the signal along the 71S Both the UHF power by 5 pC PD and the attenuation make it possible to verify the sensitivity and spatial coverage of the PD detection system. This method doesn\`t require the calibration of injected pulse type UHF signal into the GIS and makes us precisely measure the attenuation in frequency domain.

We show that panaxadiol (PD), a ginseng saponin with a dammarane skeleton, selectively interferes with the cell cycle in human cancer cell lines. PD inhibited DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 0.8 $\mu$M-1.2 $\mu$M in SK-HEP-1 cells and HeLa cells. PD-treated cells were arrested at G1/S phase, shich coincided well with decreases in Cyclin A-Cdk2 activity, but not in Cyclin E-Cdk2 and Cdc2 activities. The intracellular levels of $p21^{WAF1/CIP1}$ were significantly and selectively elevated in a dose and time-dependent manners in PD-treated HeLa cells. (omitted)

Gas sensing materials for detecting flammable gases such as $CH_4$, $C_3H_8$ and n-$C_4H_{10}$ were developed by util-izing $In_2O_3$ as the principal sensing material. The sensing materials were formulated by mixing $In_2O_3$ powder with one or two other chemicals such as $SnO_2$, $Y_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ with a small addition of $PdCl_2$ as a catalyst. Sample of sensor were fabricated by coating each of the mixtures on a ceramic tube impregnating ethylsili-cate and firing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ Each material mixture was evaluated by measuring and comparing gas sensitivity(resistance in air/resistance with gas) to flammable gases such as $CH_4$, $C_3H-8$ and n-$C_4H_{10}$. It was found that among fifteen compositions tested three compositions as follows show the highest gas sensitivity and thus are very feasible for commercialization as the gas sensors ; o49.5 $In_2O_3$+50 Al2O3_0.5 PdCl2(wt%) o $20In_2O_3+29$ $SnO_2+50$ $Al_2O_3+1$ $PdCl_2$(wt%) o40 $In_2O_3$+9 $Y_2O_3+50$ $Al_2O_3+1$ $PdCl_2$(wt%)

The goal of this study was to determine whether gypenosides (GPS) exert protective effects against dopaminergic neuronal cell death in a 6-hydroxydopamine (OHDA)-lesioned rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) with or without long-term 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) treatment. Rats were injected with 6-OHDA in the substantia nigra to induce PD-like symptoms; 14 days after injection, groups of 6-OHDA-lesioned animals were treated for 21 days with GPS (25 or 50 mg/kg) and/or L-DOPA (20 mg/kg). Dopaminergic neuronal cell death was assessed by counting tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunopositive cells in the substantia nigra and measuring levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the striatum. Dopaminergic neuronal cell death induced by 6-OHDA lesions was ameliorated by GPS treatment (50 mg/kg). L-DOPA treatment exacerbated 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic neuronal cell death; however, these effects were partially reversed by GPS treatment (25 and 50 mg/kg). These results suggest that GPS treatment is protective against dopaminergic neuronal cell death in a 6-OHDA-lesioned rat model of PD with long-term L-DOPA treatment. Therefore, GPS may be useful as a phytotherapeutic agent for the treatment of PD.
