  • A liquid chromatographic method with tandom spectrometric detection (LC/MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of doxifluridine and its active metabolite, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was developed over the concentration range of $5{\sim}2000$ ng/ml, respectively. Doxifluridine, 5-FU and internal standard, 5-chlorouracil (5-CU), were extracted from liver and intestine tissue via protein precipitation. Acetonitrile was used as the extraction solvent and the supernatant was evaporated and reconstructed in mobile phase. Optimum chromatographic separation was achieved on a Agilent Zorbax $C_{18}$ ($100\;mm{\times}2.1\;mm$, $3.5\;{\mu}m$) column with mobile phase run in isocratic with methanol : water (20 : 80, v/v). The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min with total cycle time of 5 min. The lower limit of quantification was validated at 5.0 ng/ml of liver and intestine tissue, for both doxifluridine and 5-FU, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of quality control (QC) samples were <11% coefficient of variation and <7% relative error from theoretical concentration for both analytes. In addition, the special designed stability study was performed, because the metabolism of doxifluridine occurs spontaneously even in ice bath for monkey liver. The stability of doxifluridine in liver and intestine of monkey and beagle dog was compared. It was found that bioanalytical validation could not be performed for the monkey liver; however, beagle dog's liver has relatively low speed of metabolism compared to monkey liver and instead of monkey liver, beagle dog's liver could be used for the validation. Bioanalytical validation could be performed in monkey intestine. Eventually, this developed method for liver and intestine will be useful in support of the toxicokinetic and pharmacokinetic studies of doxifluridine and 5-FU.

  • The Coanda effect is the tendency for a fluid jet to atach itself to an adjacent surface and follow its contour without causing an appreciable flow separation. The jet is pulled onto the surface by the low pressure region which develops as entrainment pumps fluid from the region between the jet and the surface. Then the jet is held to the wall surface by the resulting radial pressure gradient which balance the inertial resistance of the jet to turning. The jet may attach to the surface and may be deflected through more than 180 dog, when the radius of the Coanda surface is sufficiently large compared to the height of the exhaust nozzle. However, if the radius of curvature is small, the jet turns through a smaller angle, or may not attach to the surface at all. In general, the limitations in size and weight of a device will limit the radius of the deflection surface. Thus much effort has been paid to improve the jet deflection in a variety of engineering fields. The Coanda effect has long been applied to improve aerodynamic characteristics, such as the drag/lift ratio of flight body, the engine exhaust plume thrust vectoring, and the aerofoil/wing circulation control. During the energy crisis of the seventies, the Coanda jet was applied to reduce vehicle drag and led to drag reductions of as much as about 30% for a trailer configuration. Recently a variety of industrial applications are exploiting another characteristics of the Coanda jets, mainly the enhanced turbulence levels and entrainment compared with conventional jet flows. Various industrial burners and combustors are based upon this principle. If the curvature of the Coanda surface is too great or the operating pressure too high, the jet flow will break away completely from the surface. This could have catastrophic consequences for a burner or combustor. Detailed understanding of the Coanda jet flow is essential to refine the design to maximize the enhanced entrainment in these applications.

  • To study the possibility of attraction magnetic forces to expand maxillary arch, we used 2 big adult dogs, 2 small puppies, 1 small adult dog as experiments, and 1 small adult dog as a control. We measured the intercanine width and intermolar width and histologically observed in the suture and cervical and apex region of teeth and took occlusal X-rays to observe separation of suture line in the maxilla. The results were as follows: 1. Expansion velocities of intercanine (0.25mm/day) and intermolar widths (0.23mm/day) in puppies were faster than those (0.135mm/day, 0.09mm/day) in adults. 2. In all experiments in adults (0.135mm/day) and puppies (0.25mm/day), expansion velocity of intercanine widths were faster than those (0.09mm/day, 0.23mm/day) of intermolar width. 3. In all experiments ectatic changes were observed and cellularities of fibroblast increased in the suture line. Only in adults dogs the separations of palatal suture were observed in the occlusal X-ray view. 4. In the puppies bony deposition was particularly observed in the suture line and micro-bony fragments were often observed. 5. In the all experiments no root resorption was observed in the cervical and root area, but normal root resorption due to eruption of permanent teeth was observed in the puppies.

  • The normal tissue in radiation therapy, to minimize radiation, it is most important to maximize local tumor control rates in intensive research the exact dose to the tumor sites. Therefore, the initial, therapist accuracy of detecting movement of the patient fatigue therapist has been a problem that is weighted down directly. Also, by using a web camera, a difference value between the image to be updated to the reference image is calculated, if the result exceeds the reference value, using the system for determining the motion has occurred. However, this system, it is not possible to quantitatively analyze the movement of the patient, the background is changed when moving the treatment bed in the co-therapeutic device was not able to sift the patient. In this paper, using a alpah(${\alpha}$) filter index is an attempt to solve these limitations points, quantifies the movement of the patient, by separating a background image of the patient and treatment environment, and movement of the patient during treatment It senses only, it was possible to reduce the problems due to patient movement.

  • Nursing Homes are different from other medical facilities, because they have a living space. And most of residents in a nursing home have dementia, therefore nursing homes are in control of outdoor activities for resident's safety and most of residents live in the living room at the daytime. The purpose of this study is analysis of spacial behaviors of residents in the living room, and reflection of the analysis into the architectural plan of nursing homes.There are two activities, individual activity and social interchange activity, in a living room and the role of a living room is semi-private space that includes both of them. Most numerous activities are watching TV and take a eat. Activities are different in accordance with the position at the living room. Individual activity and social interchange activity is same ratio in the middle and the ratio of social interchange activities are more than individuals in outside of living room. but alcove use of private.The types of living rooms are distinguished by combination of functions of livingroom, activity-room, and diningroom. The activity of use of residents have been shown different phases following the types of livingroom. The type of combination has been seen high rate of use and private activities and social communications are expressed evenly. The type of mixing has been seen low rae of use, but two activities, the above, are equal. The type of separation has been seen not only low rate of use, but also there has been only private activities.

  • A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with ultraviolet (UV) method for the simultaneous determination of ${\alpha}$-cyperone and nootkatone was developed for the quality control of Cyperus rotundus Linne. The separation was performed on a KR100-$5C_{18}$ ($4.6{\times}250mm$) column, and an elution gradient composed of methanol and water with a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. Detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The optimum extraction for the detection of the ${\alpha}$-cyperone and nookatone was achieved by ultrasonic with methanol for an hour. Two marker compounds ${\alpha}$-cyperone and nootkatone in Cyperi Rhizoma showed good linearity ($R^2$ >0.999) in the concentration range of $12.5{\mu}g/ml$ to $200{\mu}g/ml$. The developed method provided satisfactory precision and accuracy with overall intra-day and inter-day variations of 0.04~1.23% and 0.08~0.68%, respectively, and the overall recoveries of 97.45~105.58% for the two compounds analyzed. Additionally, a difference was observed in the cluster analysis and principal component analysis between Cyperi Rhizoma in Korea and China. The result demonstrated that the principal component analysis is useful to distinguish between Cyperi Rhizoma in Korea and China.

  • Objectives We performed the simultaneous analysis for three compounds in Cheongsimyeonja-tang (CSYJT) and evaluated its anti-obesity effect. Methods The column for separation of three compounds was used Gemini $C_{18}$ column and maintained at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase for gradient elution consisted of two solvent systems. The analysis was carried out at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with PDA detection at 275 nm. The injection volume was $10{\mu}L$. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes by adding insulin, dexamethasone and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) for 8 days in the absence or presence of CSYJT. Anti-obesity effects of CSYJT were evaluated by Oil Red O staining, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, triglyceride contents, and leptin production. Results Calibration curves were acquired with $r^2$ >0.9999. The contents of baicalin, wogonoside and baicalein in CSYJT were 14.54-14.65 mg/g, 5.24-5.27 mg/g and 0.01-0.02 mg/g, respectively. CSYJT showed inhibitory effect on lipid accumulation and GPDH activity in the differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Furthermore, CSYJT significantly decreased contents of triglyceride and leptin production in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Conclusions These results will be helpful to improve quality control and anti-obesity effect of Taeeumin CSYJT.

  • Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic autoimmune intraepithelial blistering disease with oral mucosal manifestations that very often precede the skin lesions. The vesicles or bullae are produced by an acantholytic process, detachment of differentiating keratinocytes from one another in the epithelial stratum spino sum or spinous cell layer. The pathogenesis of this disease is initially manifested by IgG(mainly) binding to desmosome(desmoglein 3 or 1) in the intercellular spaces of epithelium. This autoantibody binding caused the release of a plasminogen activator(a proteolytic enzyme) from keratinocytes. This ultimately results in cell to cell separation. The mainstay therapy of pemphigus vulgaris is systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents to eliminate the pathogenic autoantibodies from circulation. A 41-year old woman presented with a 1.5 year history of oral ulceration. There were no lesions on the skin or other mucosal sites. Histology and immunostaining were consistent with pemphigus vulgaris. Control of oral ulceration and normal oral function were achieved after systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents were instituted.
