Oxidative DNA damage negatively affects humans and the research is currently ongoing to find ways to reduce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been identified as a key factor in triggering various diseases. Thus, its alleviation is important for human health. Broussonetia kazinoki (B. kazinoki) has been used in traditional Korean medicine as a dermatological therapy to treat burns, pruritus, and acne. B. kazinoki is generally segregated into peeled root (PR), root bark (RB), peeled stem (PS), and stem bark (SB). To assess these components for their antioxidant activity and protection against DNA damage, their ethyl acetate fractions were examined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. As a result of confirming the expression of factors involved in attenuating DNA damage, the protective effect of SB on oxidative stress suppressed the expression of p-p53 and γ-H2AX. Additionally, the levels of p53 and H2AX mRNA were significantly downregulated. In conclusion, these results indicated that the SB component of B. kazinoki had the potential to be used as an effective natural antioxidant compared to the other parts of the plant.

In recent years, the diminishing of operation and maintenance cost using advanced maintenance technology is attracting many companies' attention. Especially, the heavy machinery industry regards it as a crucial problem since a failure of heavy machinery requires high cost and long downtime. To improve the current maintenance process, the heavy machinery industry tries to develop a methodology to predict failure in advance and to find its causes using usage data. A better analysis of failure causes requires more data so that various kinds of sensor are attached to machines and abundant amount of product usage data is collected through the sensor network. However, the systemic analysis of the collected product usage data is still in its infant stage. Many previous works have focused on failure occurrence as statistical data for reliability analysis. There have been less works to apply product usage data into root cause analysis of product failure. The product usage data collected while failures occur should be considered failure cause analysis. To do this, this study proposes a methodology to apply product usage data into failure cause analysis. The proposed methodology in this study is composed of several steps to transform product usage into failure causes. Various statistical analysis combined with product usage data such as multinomial logistic regression, T-test, and so on are used for the root cause analysis. The proposed methodology is applied to field data coming from operated locomotive and the analysis result shows its effectiveness.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Rhodiola sachalinensis root ethanol extract (RS), on the body weight, organ weight, plasma glucose and plasma lipid in diabetic rats caused by streptozotocin (STZ). The body weight decreased more slowly in the RS group than in the diabetic, and the food intake increased significantly in all diabetic groups. The food efficiency was very low in all diabetic groups, but increased significantly in the RS groups than diabetic control (p<0.05). In comparing the weight of organ, the weight of liver and kidney were increased in all diabetic groups than in the control, and decreased slightly in RS groups. The weight of heart and spleen were not different among all test groups. The glucose in serum was decreased significantly in the RS groups fed the RS for 4 weeks, compared to the diabetic control (p<0.05). Total cholesterol, triglyceride and atherogenic index (AI) in serum were significantly higher in diabetic control, compared to the normal (p<0.05), and decreased $16.7\%,\;18.3\%\;and\;45.0\%$, respectively, in the RS fed $300\;\cal{mg/kg}$ of RS. HDL-cholesterol was increased slightly more in the $RS-300\;\cal{mg/kg}$, compared to diabetic control. These findings suggest that RS treatment has protective effect in diabetes.

Dental implants are required to have biomechanical functions and biostability in order to perform authoring, pronunciation, and aesthetic functions in the oral cavity. In terms of biostability, pure titanium for medical have good biostability and no rejection in the alveolar bone. with appropriate strength in terms of strength as well as biocompatibility. In recent years, various surgical methods and devices have been developed to improve the convenience and safety of the procedure. However, as the number of procedures increases, the screw loosening of the abutment screw connecting the artificial root and the abutment There are many reports of artificial root and abutment fracture. Fig. 1 is an example of a case where the upper part of the abutment screw is arbitrarily modified to remove the abutment by the abutment fracture due to the loosening of the abutment screw. The fundamental cause of abduction of the abutment screw is caused by the slight movement due to the lowering of the retention force of the abutment screw. It is necessary to minimize loosening of the abutment screw to avoid problems such as fracture during the period of using the implant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of the abutment screw to prevent the loosening of the abutment screw by forming 0.5mm slot.

Irrigation scheduling is a water management strategy of applying the proper amount of water in a plant's root zone at the right time to maximize profit. We conducted an experimental evaluation of the response of soybean, sorghum, and sesame to an irrigation scheduling scheme. The soil water contents were adjusted in the root zone between 20% and 28% to reflect changes in crop water consumption. The other ones fixed at 25% during the whole growing season were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of irrigation scheduling. Surface drip irrigation (SDI) were employed as an irrigation method. For all three crops, the evapotranspiration (ET) was the greatest at flowering stage (6.93 mm), followed by vegetative growth stage (5.00 mm) and maturity stage (2.53 mm). The irrigation amount was significantly reduced by 21.8% (soybean), 22.2% (sorghum), and 16.1% (sesame), respectively, compared with the ones at constant soil water content treatment. Their water use efficiency (WUE) were also much higher than the controls: 2.65-fold increase at soybean, 1.82-fold increase at sorghum, and 1.47-fold increase at sesame. These results showed that an effective irrigation scheduling on upland crops (soybean, sorghum, sesame) could increase crop yield while minimizing water use.
