이 연구에서는 고압 균질기를 통해 제작된 CNF 수 분산액을 PLA에 적용시키는데 있어 비용과 생산 효율성을 고려하여 동결 건조 방식이 아닌 오븐 건조를 통해 수분을 제거한 ODCNF를 제조하였다. 건조 후 고형화된 CNF 분말을 생분해성 고분자인 PLA에 접목시켜 압출, 사출 공정에서 발생하는 전단응력으로 재분산을 유도하였고, 성공적으로 시편이 만들어졌다. 제작된 시편에 대하여 진행된 전계방사 전자현미경 측정을 통해 셀룰로오스 입자가 PLA 매트릭스 내에 함침되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 시차주사열량계 측정에서 ODCNF가 PLA에 적용되었을 때 결정화도 상승과 냉 결정화 온도가 앞당겨지는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 냉각 과정에서 결정이 생성되는 것을 통해 실제 생산 공정에 적용할 경우, 친환경 핵제로써 역할을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 추가적으로 유변물성 측정기를 통해 첨가된 ODCNF가 PLA의 점도를 과도하게 증가시키지 않아 기존 공정 조건에 그대로 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 이는 제작된 시편을 통해서도 알 수 있었다. 동적 점탄성 특성에서는 첨가된 ODCNF 입자의 필러 효과와 향상된 결정화도로 인해 유리상과 고무상에서 모두 저장 탄성율의 비율이 PLA에 비해 높게 유지되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 대량 생산이 가능하고, 생산단가를 낮춘 ODCNF를 이용하여 CNF/PLA 기반의 100% 생분해성 복합재 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising polymer because it can be derived from renewable resources and provides a biodegradable alternative to petrochemical based polymers. This research aims to synthesize PLA, through direct polycondensation and also tries to avoid the occurrence of separation by-product and the use of catalysts in the process. The polymerization of lactic acid was done at three different temperatures $150^{\circ}C,\;180^{\circ}C\;and\;200^{\circ}C$ for 90 h without catalysts and organic solvent. The proposed process provides results that are comparable to those that incorporate catalysts; during polymerization temperature was $180^{\circ}C$ the molecular weight of PLA obtained reached 42448 Da. The thermal properties of PLA analysis by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).

환경오염이 나날이 증가함에 따라 바이오 재료에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생분해성 열가소성 수지인 폴리 유산 (PLA)을 기지재료로 하고 탄소나노튜브 (CNT)를 나노 filler로 사용하여 압출 및 사출공정을 통하여 복합재료를 제작하였다. 시편의 결정화도를 변화시키기 위하여 어닐링 시간에 변화를 주어 처리하였다. PLA의 결정화 특성은 시차주사열량계 (DSC)를 통하여 평가하였고, 적당한 양의 CNT가 PLA의 결정화 속도를 향상시킨 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 외에 PLA/CNT 복합재료의 가수분해 속도는 순수 PLA에 비하여 빠르지만 PLA/CNT 복합재료의 결정화도가 증가함에 따라 가수분해 속도가 늦어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이것은 가수분해가 PLA/CNT의 계면에서 쉽게 일어나고 결정화도가 높아짐에 따라 분자 구조가 치밀해지기 때문인 것으로 판단 된다.

Objective : We evaluate the effect of the copolymer-coated coils on immediate occlusion of the aneurysm, preventing rupture, and decreasing compaction or re-growth. Methods : Thirty-five aneurysms treated between September 2003 and December 2004 using Matrix detachable coil were reviewed. Study population consisted of 12 men and 23 women ranging in age from 34 to 75 years[mean, 55.1 years]. Twenty-two aneurysms were ruptured and 23 aneurysms were located in the anterior circulation. Follow-up angiography was obtained in 16 patients after 6 months from the procedure. Results : Initial complete occlusion was achieved in 17 aneurysms[48.6%], and the others remained as a residual neck in 8 aneurysms[22.8%] and residual sac in 10 aneurysms[28.6%]. Among these incompletely occluded aneurysms, 7 aneurysms were performed follow-up angiography. And 6 of them converted into complete occlusion. In the other hands, among 17 aneurysms achieved complete occlusion initially, 9 aneurysms were performed follow-up angiography. Recurrence due to coil compaction occurred in one aneurysm and the others maintained complete occlusion. There was one mortality case due to thromboembolic complication. Conclusion : In spite of difficulty in achieving complete occlusion with Matrix coil system, there is no rupture or re-rupture during follow-up period. Follow-up angiography shows many conversions of residual sac into complete occlusion. Embolization using Matrix coil system is safe and effective, but the effects of PGLA copolymer need further investigation.

Background: The development of a vaccine for Jembrana disease is needed to prevent losses in Indonesia's Bali cattle industry. A DNA vaccine model (pEGFP-C1-tat) that requires a functional delivery system will be developed. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) may have potential as a delivery system for the vaccine model. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the in vitro potential of PLGA as a delivery system for pEGFP-C1-tat. Methods: Consensus and codon optimization for the tat gene was completed using a bioinformatic method, and the product was inserted into a pEGFP-C1 vector. Cloning of the pEGFP-C1-tat was successfully performed, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction analysis confirmed DNA isolation. PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat solutions were prepared for encapsulated formulation testing, physicochemical characterization, stability testing with DNase I, and cytotoxicity testing. The PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat solutions were transfected in HeLa cells, and gene expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy and real-time PCR. Results: The successful acquisition of transformant bacteria was confirmed by PCR. The PLGA:DNA:polyvinyl alcohol ratio formulation with optimal encapsulation was 4%:0.5%:2%, physicochemical characterization of PLGA revealed a polydispersity index value of 0.246, a particle size of 925 nm, and a zeta potential value of -2.31 mV. PLGA succeeded in protecting pEGFP-C1-tat from enzymatic degradation, and the percentage viability from the cytotoxicity test of PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat was 98.03%. The PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat demonstrated luminescence of the EGFP-tat fusion protein and mRNA transcription was detected. Conclusions: PLGA has good potential as a delivery system for pEGFP-C1-tat.

In this paper, we designed 3D-printed orthopedic splint models for patient-specific external coaptation on fracture healing and analyzed the stability of the models through finite element method (FEM) analysis under compressive load conditions. Polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) based 3D splint models of the thicknesses 1, 3, 5 and 7 mm were designed, and Peak von Mises stress (PVMS) and maximum displacement (MD) of the models were analyzed by FEM under compressive loads of 50, 100, 150, and 200 N. The FEM results indicated that PVMS and MD values, regardless of material, had a negative correlation with the thickness of the models and a positive correlation with the compressive load. There was a risk of splint deformation under conditions more extreme than 100 N with 5 mm thickness. For successful clinical application of 3D-printed orthopedic splints in veterinary medicine, it is recommended that the splint should be produced not less than 5 mm thickness. Also, it is expected to be stable when the splint is applied to situations with a compressive load of 100 N or less. There is an advantage of overcoming the limitations of the existing bandage method through 3D-printing technology as well as verifying the stability through 3D modeling before application. Such 3D printing technology will be widely used in veterinary medicine and various fields as well as orthopedics.

Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing of metals has been drawing significant attention due to its reliability, usefulness, and low cost with rapid prototyping. Among the various AM technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication is receiving much interest because of its simple manufacturing processing, low material waste, and cost-effective equipment. FDM technology uses metal-filled polymer filaments for 3D printing, followed by debinding and sintering to fabricate complex metal parts. An efficient binder is essential for producing polymer filaments and the thermal post-processing of printed objects. This study involved an in-depth investigation of and a fabrication route for a novel multi-component binder system with steel alloy powder (45 vol.%) ranging from filament fabrication and 3D printing to debinding and sintering. The binder system consisted of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a binder and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polylactic acid (PLA) as a carrier. The PVP binder held the metal components tightly by maintaining their stoichiometry, and the TPU and PLA in the ratio of 9:1 provided flexibility, stiffness, and strength to the filament for 3D printing. The efficacy of the binder system was examined by fabricating 3D-printed cubic structures. The results revealed that the thermal debinding and sintering processes effectively removed the binder/carrier from the cubic structures, resulting in isotropic shrinkage of approximately 15.8% in all directions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) patterns displayed the microstructure behavior, phase transition, and elemental composition of the 3D cubic structure.
