To obtain geographical range and growth-kinetics parameters of mottled sake (Beringraja pulchra) populations in the Yellow Sea, three mark-recapture experiments were carried out. Overall, 991 tagged individuals were released, and 4.1% of them were recaptured with the mean release period of 339 d (range, 8-1,420 d) and the mean growth rate of $1.4cm\;mon^{-1}$ (female, $1.5cm\;mon^{-1}$; male $1.3cm\;mon^{-1}$). In the first experiment, 667 individuals were released at Heuksan Island from April to June, 2007-2009, and 30 individuals were recaptured mainly at the north and the north-east coasts of the island, indicating absence of migration to the south of the island. In the second experiment, 323 individuals were released at several fishing grounds scattered in the Yellow Sea in 2010-2013, and 11 individuals were recaptured at points deviated to all directions from the releasing points. As the last, one individual was released with pop-up satellite archival tag at a costal point ($34^{\circ}37.2$'N, $124^{\circ}59.3$'E) off Hong Island on May 21, 2010. The tagged individual migrated to a north-east location ($35^{\circ}50.4$'N, $126^{\circ}03.6$'E) of Eocheong Island by Aug. 25, 2010. The data archived for the three months in the tag indicated that the migration path had depths of 48-80 m and temperature of $12.6-14.4^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that mottled sake populations had a localized habitat ranges at the north of Heuksan Island and the west of Hong Island while growing at the rate of $1.4cm\;mon^{-1}$.

국산 Ni-Ti합금 교정용 선재(ORTHOLLOY)의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 성분, 인장특성, 굽힘특성, 열처리성, 내식성, 이온용출 등에 대해 조사하고 외국산 Ni-Ti합금 선재(SENTALLOY)의 특성과 비교 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다. ORTHOLLOY는 초탄성 효과를 나타내는 범위내에서의 Ni과Ti 함량을 포함하고 있었다. 인장실험에서 ORTHOLLOY는 연신율 $2\%$에서 $8\%$정도 범위내에서 하중의 변화가 거의 없는 초탄성 효과를 나타내었다. 3점 굴곡실험에서 ORTHOLLOY는 SENTALLOY 보다 같은 변위량에서 높은 하중값을 나타내었고, 초탄성을 나타내는 변위영역에서의 하중 범위는 ORTHOLLOY의 경우 0.014" 에서 80-100g, 0.016"에서 140-180g, 0.018" 에서 150-200g의 값을 나타내었다. $400^{\circ}C,\;500^{\circ}C$의 열처리에 의해 초탄성을 나타내는 하중범 위가 낮아졌고, 각 열처리 온도에서는 시간이 증가함에 따라 초탄성을 나타내는 하중값의 범위가 낮아졌으며 $600^{\circ}C$에서는 10분간의 열처리로 초탄성 효과가 소실되었다. 용출되어 나온 Ni 이온의 양은 SENTALLOY의 0.01ppm미만의 극소량에 비해 ORTHOLLOY에서는 0.3ppm 전후로 높게 나타났다. 침적 실험후 주사전자현미경 관찰을 통한 표면조직 소견은 SENTALLOY에서는 침적 전후 및 침적 시간의 경과에 관계없이 전체적으로 비교적 균일한 양상을 보였으나 ORTHOLLOY에서는 pitting corrosion양상을 보였다.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol using corifollitropin alfa in women undergoing assisted reproduction. Methods: Six hundred and eighty-six in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were analyzed. In 113 cycles, folliculogenesis was induced with corifollitropin alfa and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH), and premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges were prevented with a GnRH antagonist. In the control group (573 cycles), premature LH surges were prevented with GnRH agonist injection from the midluteal phase of the preceding cycle, and ovarian stimulation was started with rFSH. The treatment duration, quality of oocytes and embryos, number of embryo transfer (ET) cancelled cycles, risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and the chemical pregnancy rate were evaluated in the two ovarian stimulation protocols. Results: There were no significant differences in age and infertility factors between treatment groups. The treatment duration was shorter in the corifollitropin alfa group than in the control group. Although not statistically significant, the mean numbers of matured (86.8% vs. 85.1%) and fertilized oocytes (84.2% vs. 83.1%), good embryos (62.4% vs. 60.3%), and chemical pregnancy rates (47.2% vs. 46.8%) were slightly higher in the corifollitropin alfa group than in the control group. In contrast, rates of ET cancelled cycles and the OHSS risk were slightly lower in the corifollitropin alfa group (6.2% and 2.7%) than in the control group (8.2% and 3.5%), although these differences were also not statistically significant. Conclusion: Although no significant differences were observed, the use of corifollitropin alfa seems to offer some advantages to patients because of its short treatment duration, safety, lower ET cancellation rate and reduced risk of OHSS.

Although many studies on the cytotoxicity of the dental cast base metal alloys and their components have been carried out, the results are rather conflicting because of the different type of cells used and the various experimental procedures taken. Recently a number of scientists have claimed that it would be preferable to focus on the use of cells from relevant specific location of the human bodies. Consequently, the primary cultured oral keratinocyte derived from oral mucous along with nickel chloride and several of widely used dental cast base metal alloys(two Ni-Cr alloys and one Co-Cr alloy)in domestic were selected for this study, from which 1) The amounts of released metal ions were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry, 2) The cytotoxicity of nickel chloride and dental cast base metal alloys was evaluated via MTT assay, and finally, 3) The amounts of released metal ions and the cytotoxicity of nickel chloride were correlated with the cytotoxicity of dental cast base metal alloys And, the results were summarized as follows; 1. Nickel ion from Ni-Cr alloys and Cobalt ion from Co-Cr alloys resulted in maximum releasing rate during first 2h hours, followed by a decrease in releasing rate with time. Chromium ion were found to be minimal in all alloys. 2. In cytotoxic test. with $40{\mu}M,\;80{\mu}M$ of nickel chloride, there were observed an increase in the relative cell number compared to control samples after 24 hours. With $160{\mu}M$, there was found to be no difference in the relative cell number with control, except that 48 hour showed a increase in relative cell number. With $320{\mu}M$, the relative cell number remained constant and decreased after 48 hours, and with $640{\mu}M$, a continuing decrease in relative cell number was observed throughout test period. 3 The sensitivity of primary cultured oral epithelium to nickel was lower compared to the cells used in other studies. 4. CB-80 Soft and Regalloy showed no cytotoxicity to primary cultured oral epithelium and New crown resulted in a slight cytotoxicity. In conclusion, it was shown that the primary cultured oral keratinocytes could be applied successfully as testing cells in cytotoxicity test. Futhermore, the dental cast base metal alloys used in this study were found to be biocompatible.

This study was performed to determine the effects of nitric oxide on human sperm cell function. Semen samples were obtained from normal healthy volunteers. Motile spermatozoas collected by swim-up method were incubated up to 24 hours in Ham's F-10 medium supplemented with a various concentration of sodium nitroprusside (nitric oxide releasing agent). Sperm motility, hyperactivation, acrosome reaction rate, and acrosin activity were determined. The results are as follows; 1. 1mM of SNP resulted in a significant decrease in sperm motility ($44.8%{\pm}8.9%:78.1%{\pm}6.3%$, and hyperactivation $(10.4%{\pm}6.4%:47.7%:{\pm}9.5%)$ after incubation for 3 hours compared with the control group (Ham's F-10 alone), but had no effect on acrosome reaction. 2. At $100{\mu}M$ SNP, sperm motility was reduced after incubation for 6 hours $(54.8%{\pm}3.2%)$ compared with that of the control group $(82.7%{\pm}8.9%)$, but hyperactivation and acrosome reaction were not affected. 3. However, a lower concentration (less than $10{\mu}M$) of SNP had no effect on sperm motility and hyperactivation for 8 hours of incubation but significantly decreased them when incubation periods were increased up to 24 hours compared with the control group. On the other hand, $1{\mu}M$ and $10{\mu}M$ SNP significantly increased the acrosome reaction rate in both acrosomal status ($17.3%{\pm}5.2%$, $23.5%{\pm}4.7%$, respectively) and acrosin activity ($34.3{\mu}IU{\pm}10.5{\mu}IU,\;45.6{\mu}IU{\pm}5.6{\mu}IU$, respectively) as compared with the control group $(7.0%{\pm}4.0%,\;9.5{\mu}IU{\pm}3.4{\mu}IU)$. These results indicate that SNP, NO releasing agent, has a dose-dependent effects on the sperm cell function. Therefore it may positively affect the fertilization by promoting acrosomal reaction at a lower concentration (less than $10{\mu}M$).

일반적으로 해수가 강으로 침입하거나 담수가 해양으로 유입을 하면 두 유체간의 밀도차에 의한 밀도류의 성질을 가진다. 하지만, 염분과 온도가 동시에 밀도의 차를 결정하는 경우, 특히 이 중 하나가 중력과 불안정한 수직 분포를 갖게되면 이중확산이 혼합을 결정하는 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 고온, 고염의 수괴가 저온, 저염의 수괴로 진입할 때 기계적 혼합과 이중확산에 의한 대류가 혼합에 미치는 상대적 영향을 비교 연구하였다. 실험실에서 차갑고 염도가 없는 주 흐름에 온도가 높고 염분이 높은 밀도류를 조심스럽게 방류시켜 정상상태의 염수침입 형태를 유지하였다. 수평방향으로 따라 밀도율(Turner 1979)이 15정도 되면 온도와 염분의 유출입량비율이 가파르게 변화하였고, 전체적으로 방출구 부분에서 이중확산의 영향이 강하게 나타나게 되며 이 경우에는 총 방출량도 함께 증가하였다. 아울러 밀도율이 낮은 경우 밀도율이 높은 경우에 비해서 약 $6{\times}10$배의 높은 혼합율을 보였다.

Status of endometrium is a very important factor which influences the implantation of fertilized embryos. In this study, we evaluated the possibility that the endometrial depth and pattern assessed by vaginal sonography on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles could be used to predict the IVF outcome. A total of 112 cycles using gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) for ovulation induction were evaluated. We classified all patients into group A(<9mm) or group B(${\geq}$ 9mm) according to endometrial depth, and into group l(hyperechogenic), group 2(isoechogenic) or group 3(hypoechogenic and triple line) according to endometrial pattern. The other classification was made considering both endometrial depth and pattern. There was no significant correlation between serum estradiol level and endometrial sonographic findings(depth and pattern)(p>0.05). The pregnancy rate of group A(31.3%) did not differ significantly from that of group B(43.7%), but no pregnancies were found in any patients with endometrial depth less than 6mm. The pregnancy rate was 40%, 35.7%, and 44.6 % for group 1, gorup 2, and group 3, respectively, but there was no statistically significant difference between these groups(p>0.05). In combined classification, there was a trend of higher pregnancy rate in case of endometrial depth greater than 9mm and hypoechogenic triple line pattern, but there was no statistically significant differences between these groups(p>0.05). The conclusion from the present data is that endometrial ultrasonography on the day of hCG administration had no predictive value for conception in IVF cycles.

본 연구의 목적은 분진제거 장치에서 전극간의 적정간격을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 실험은 전극간격을 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm로 직렬로 놓고 유입유량을 변화시켜 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 분진제거를 위한 적정 선속도는 6 cm/sec였고 전극표면에 부착되는 분진 총량은 전극의 간격이 가까울수록 증가하였다. 그러나 1 cm 정도로 매우 가까울 경우는 전극판에 부착된 분진은 탈착되었으며 이는 분착된 분진의 역이온화 즉 전하의 변화 때문인 것으로 사료되었다. 결과적으로 전극판에서 양전극과 음전극 간의 간격은 2 cm가 적당하고 이때의 분진부하율은 $24mg/min{\cdot}m^2$였다.

환경부에서는 오염물질 다량 방출 건축자재의 효율적인 관리를 위해 "다중이용시설 등의 실내 공기질 관리법" 중 접착제의 시험방법과 방출관리기준을 동시에 개정하였다. 따라서 기존 관리수준과 개정 관리수준의 직접적인 비교가 불가능하다. 이 연구에서는 접착제의 개정된 시험방법의 각 요소들이 오염물질 방출강도에 미치는 영향들을 기존 시험방법과 비교하여 검토하였다. 이를 통하여 개정된 오염물질 방출관리기준을 평가하였다. 그 결과 접착제는 시험기간의 변경으로 인해 방출강도가 약 2.5배 약화되었고 건조시간의 변경에 따른 방출강도의 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 시험방법의 변경된 내용을 적용한 TVOC 방출 관리기준은 기존 방출 관리기준에 비해 약 2.1배 강화된 것으로 나타났다.
