Objectives: This study examined the effects of salvianolic acid B (SAB) on exhaustive exercise-induced cardiac muscle damage to rats. Methods: The study was carried out with 12-week-old young adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Thirty-six rats were divided into 3 groups; normal (n=12), exhaustive exercise group (ExS, n=12) and exhaustive exercise with SAB (ExS+SAB, n=12). Five days before exhaustive exercise, SAB were medicated for 5 days in ExS+SAB group. Rats in ExS and ExS+SAB group were forced to swim for 150 minutes and then they were sacrificed, while rats in normal group were sacrificed at rest. After that, blood was collected and cardiac muscle tissue damage indices were analyzed. Results: Serum aspartate transaminase activity and lactate dehydrogenase activity were significantly lower in ExS+SAB group than in ExS group. Serum creatine phosphokinase activity of ExS+SAB was significantly lower than ExS group. However, the content of serum creatinine had no difference between ExS and ExS+SAB group. In the H&E stained left ventricle myocardium, ExS group showed signs of myocardial damage such as sporadic fragmentation of myocardial fibers, interstitial edema, cytoplasmic eosinophilia and neutrophils infiltration. However, ExS+SAB group alleviated the severity of the signs of myocardial damage. In the myocardial dihydroethidium staining, optical density was remarkably decreased in ExS+SAB group compared to ExS group. Furthermore, the up-regulation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was observed in ExS+SAB group compared with ExS group. Conclusions: The above results suggest that SAB may protect cardiac muscle damage via antioxidant activity and prevention of apoptosis.

목적: 본 연구를 통해 소아청소년에서 발생한 황색 포도알균혈증(Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia; SAB)의 역학적 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2002년부터 2016년까지 15년 간 가천대 길병원에 입원한 18세 이하 소아청소년 중 SAB 환자의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 총 212명의 소아청소년 SAB 환자가 분석에 포함되었다. 2002년부터 2016년까지 연간 SAB 발생률은 입원환자 1,000명당 0.77-1.95명이었다. 전체 SAB 중 신생아군(28일 미만)과 소아청소년군(28일-18세 이하)은 각각 51.4% (n=109), 48.6%(n=103)이었으며, 지역사회 관련 감염(community associated [CA])과 의료기관 관련 감염(healthcare associated [HA])은 각각 43.9% (n=93), 56.1% (n=119)였다. 소아청소년군(47.6%)보다 신생아군(64.2%)에서 HA-SAB의 비중이 더 높았다(P=0.015). CA-SAB와 HA-SAB에서 합병증 발생 여부는 차이가 없었으나, 사망률은 HA-SAB에서 더 높았다. 메티실린 내성 황색포도알균(methicillin-resistance S. aureus [MRSA])의 비율은 신생아군에서 가장 높았고(88.1%), 연령이 증가할수록 감소하여 5세 이상에서는 36.4-37.5%였다. MRSA 비율은 72.2%로 시간에 따른 일정한 추세는 보이지 않았다. 결론: 지난 15년 간 소아청소년에서 SAB의 발생률 및 MRSA의 비율은 일정한 추세 없이 유지되었다. 소아청소년의 SAB에서 적절한 항생제를 선택하기 위해 환자의 연령 및 감염 기원에 대한 신중한 고려가 필요하다.

전통적인 OD조사에 의한 OD추정방법의 여러 문제점들로 인해 링크에서 관측된 교통량과 기존OD를 결합해 새로운 OD를 추정하고자 하는 연구들이 지속되고 있으며, 그 필요성도 증대되고 있다. 그러한 기법중의 하나가 Yang(1995)이 제시한 바이레벨 모형으로, 그는 일반화최소자승법을 풀기위한 Sensitivity Analysis Based (SAB)을 제시하였다. 그러나 SAB 알고리즘은 두가지 중요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 첫 번째 문제는 실제 OD를 알기가 어렵기 때문에, 기존 OD 조사시의 통행패턴이 현재의 통행패턴과 큰 변화가 없다는 가정 하에, 기존 OD를 추정시 중요한 추정기준으로 설정한다는 점이다. 그러나 이러한 기존 OD에 대한 추정의 종속성으로 인해, SAB는 기존 OD와 실제 OD의 차이가 큰 경우 정확한 해를 도출하지 못하고 추정결과가 일관적(robust)이지 않게 도출된다. 두 번째 문제는 SAB는 통행패턴 추정시 선형근사화를 가정하기 때문에 게임이론적 측면에서 전제로 설정한 완전한 Stackelberg 상황을 구현하지 못한다는 점이다. 이러한 문제점을 피하기 위해서는 기존 OD의 오차나 관측교통량의 오차에 대해 일관적이고 안정적인 해도출 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 SAB를 비롯한 기존 바이레벨 OD추정기법의 문제점을 지적하고 이에 대한 대안기법을 제시하는 것이다. OD추정의 문제는 본질적으로 비선형이고 비볼록하기 때문에, 다중해를 도출하게 된다. 따라서 전역해 탐색기법이 필요한데, 본 연구에서는 전역최적화가 가능한 유전알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용한 OD추정모형(GA-Model:GAM)을 제시하였다. 사례네트워크에 대한 비교분석결과, GAM은 기존 OD의 오타에 대해 크게 종속적이지 않으며 OD구조가 변하는 경우에도 추정이 가능하여, 일반적으로 실제 OD를 알 수 없는 (기존OD의 오차가 어느 정도인지를 알 수 없는) 도시부 네트워크에서 신뢰성있는 추정력을 보였다.

Salvianolic acid B (SAB) is an active phytocomponent of a popular Chinese herb called Radix Salvia militiorrhiza with numerous biological properties. The anti-psoriasis activity of SAB was examined by evaluating various psoriasis inflammatory and keratin markers against imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis on BALB/c mice. Totally 50 healthy BALB/c mice were evenly divided into 5 groups including control, drug control (SAB; 40 mg/kg), IMQ-induced psoriasis (5%), IMQ exposure and treated with SAB (40 mg/kg), or standard methotrexate (MTX; 1 mg/kg). Mice supplemented with either SAB or MTX significantly lowered the values of psoriasis area severity index (PASI), erythema, scaling, skin thickness, inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-22/23/17A/1β/6) and lipid peroxidation product (malondialdehyde). Also, IMQ exposed BALB/c mice treated with SAB or MTX display lesser histopathological changes with enhanced antioxidant activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase). Moreover, the protein expression of keratin markers (K16 and K17) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling proteins (pAkt/Akt and pPI3K/PI3K) were significantly downregulated after administration with SAB and MTX as compared with IMQ induced mice. Taking together, SAB and MTX significantly ameliorate psoriatic changes by inhibiting psoriatic inflammatory and keratin markers through abolishing PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. However, further studies (clinical trials) are needed to confirm the anti-psoriatic property of SAB before recommending to psoriasis patients.

본 연구의 목적은 국외에서 중추청각처리장애의 선별도구로 널리 사용되고 있는 Fisher's 청각행동문제 체크리스트(Fisher's auditory problems checklist, FAPC)와 청각행동특성척도(Scale of Auditory Behaviors, SAB)를 한국어로 번역하여 학령기 아동을 대상으로 실시하므로 국내의 학령기 아동의 청각행동특성을 파악하고, 두 검사 간의 특성을 비교하므로 국내에서 중추청각처리장애 선별을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 한국어로 번역된 FAPC와 SAB 검사도구를 1~6학년 223명의 학생의 부모나 양육자에게 실시한 결과, FAPC와 SAB 검사 도구는 모두 학년별로 유의미한 점수 차이를 보이지 않았고, 학년 증감에 따른 수행 점수 간에 특정 유형이 관찰되지 않았으므로 본 설문지들은 학년에 상관없이 사용하여도 무방하다고 여겨진다. 그러나 두 검사의 유의미한 상관관계에도 불구하고 공통위험군 범위의 아동 수가 적어 서로 다른 특성을 포함하고 있으므로 선별검사 및 청각행동특성을 기초로 한 진단검사의 선정 및 재활 계획 수립시 서로 보완적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 여겨진다. 더하여 두 검사의 중추청각처리장애와의 관련성 검증과 표본 집단을 확대한 규준 제시를 통한 후속 표준화 연구가 요구된다.

Concentrated catfish Silurus asotus bile (SAB) containing high amounts of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and taurocholic acid may have immunosuppressive properties. To investigate the putative immunosuppressive properties of SAB, the anti-proliferation and suppression of early T cell activation markers, and the inhibition of cytokines induced by T cells in response to anti-CD3 mAb activation in mouse splenocytes were examined. The suppression of these activation repertoires are the main properties of calcineurin inhibitors. It was found that SAB effectively suppressed the activation of T cells, and cytokines from T cell activation, at levels similar to cyclosporine A, a calcineurin inhibitor. Although the mechanism in which suppression occurs is not clear, we speculate that SAB from Silurus asotus, which has been known to switch their intake habits to zoophagy during an early adult stage, may explain the suppressive effect of SAB as a result of high amounts of functional UDCA in bile. Our results suggest that the treatment or intake of SAB, either in therapy or as a food supplement, may act as an adjuvant therapy for the prevention of transplant rejection, although further investigation is required before this treatment can be applied clinically.

The pupose of this study on the surface finishing is to examine the performance of brushing as a means of reducing the surface roughness of the precision theaded shafts in ball screw assemblies. Ball screws provide superior performance compared to other types of screw feeds in terms of static and dynamic rolling resistance,backlash,and wear characteristics. The Reduction of the surface roughness of the lead shaft in ball screw assembiles is essential for precision movement,high speed/low noise tracel, and for low wear/long life. To reduce machine dependent errors that would influence the surface roughness compared with other lapping or polishing techniques,experiments will be performed using special wire brushes to polish precision ground shafts. The best results were obtained using the Al /sab 2/O /sab3/ brushes, with the Al /sab 2/O /sab3/ #500 grit brush producing a surface finish of approximately 0.7 .mu.m, and the Al /sab 2/O /sab3/ #600 grit producing a surface finish of approximately 0.8 .mu.m. Both of these results were produced at the highest wheel polishing speed of 3520 rpm. The SiC #500 brush produced a surface roughness of approximately 1 .mu.m at 3520 rpm.

Objectives : Salvianolic acid B (SAB) is an active ingredient in Salvia miltiorrhiza frequently used for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The present study investigated the antioxidant effects of SAB on the skeletal muscle and the brain tissue of rats following exhaustive exercise.Methods : The rats were treated with oral administration of SAB (30 mg/kg) daily for 5 days prior to the exhaustive exercise. The exhaustive exercise was performed as swimming for 150 min with 5% body weight attached to the tail on the 5th day. The antioxidant effects of SAB was evaluated by measuring the superoxide generation in the gastrocnemius and the 4-HNE expression in the hippocampal tissue. In addition, c-Fos-expressing cells in the brain tissue was observed using immunohistochemistry.Results : Histological features and muscle fiber type composition were not different between the SAB group and the exhaustive exercise group. SAB significantly reduced the upregulation of superoxide generation in the muscle tissue. SAB significantly reduced the increase of c-Fos-expressing cells in the cerebral cortex, paraventricular thalamic nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, the CA1, CA3, and DG regions of hippocampus. SAB significantly reduced the upregulation of 4-HNE expression in the CA1 and DG regions of hippocampus caused by the exhaustive exercise.Conclusions : The results suggest that SAB exerts antioxidative effect against oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle and the brain tissue following exhaustive exercise, while SAB may has an anti-stress effect on stress responses in the brain.

Although structural ceramics have excellent mectanical properties, it is very difficult to grind with high efficiency and high quality because of their high strength, hardness, and brittleness. Unfortunately machined ceramics often contain surface damages such as micro fracture and crack on account of brittle fracture. Therefore, is is important to minimize the brittle fracture. The present paper examines grinding characteristics of representative structural ceramics,such as Al /sab 2/O /sab 3/, SiC, Si /sab 3/ N /sab 4/. Effects of grinding variables including table speed and depth of cut on the grinding performance were investigated. Experimental results show that the surface quality is related to the specific grindings energy. The higher specific energy results in the better surface quality.

Conductive veramic matrix composite(CMC) workpiece of TiC 33%/Al /sab 2/O /sab 3/ 66% Y /sab 2/ O /sab 3/ was machined by die sinking electrical discharge machining(EDM) according to different pulse duration and suty factor for reverse polarity of electrode. Material removal rate(MRR) was examined by process under various operating conditions. The surface morphology was evaluated by surface roughness values and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) research. The more MRR was obtained according to increase pulse duration and duty factor. Also the maximum surface roughness(Rmax) of EDMed surface was slightly changed with increased pulse duration and duty factor. The SEM photographs of EDMed surface showed wide recast wide recast distribution region of melting materials in purse duration 0.130(ms) than 0.048(ms).
