Four novel metal-organic complexes $[Cd_2(IP)_2(TBZ)_2(H_2O)_2]{\cdot}(H_2O)$ (1), $[Zn_4(IP)_4(TBZ)_4]{\cdot}2(H_2O)$ (2), $[Zn_2(BTC)(TBZ)_2(CO_2H)]$ (3), [Co(PDC)(TBZ)] (4) (where IP = isophthalate; TBZ = thiabendazole; BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate; PDC = pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylate) have been prepared and characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1, 2, and 3 are one-dimensional chain polymers, while 4 is a two-dimensional network polymer. The TBZ acts as a typical chelating ligand coordinated to the metal center in all complexes. The 1D chain architecture of 1 is constructed from isophthalates and cadmium atoms. A simultaneous presence of chelating, monodentate and bidentate coordination modes of IP ligands is observed in complex 2. In complex 3, the 16-membered rings are alternately arranged forming an infinite 1D double-chain structure. The 2D skeleton of 4 is formed by cobalt ions as nodes and PDC dianions as spacers, through coordination bonds. The hydrogen bonds and ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking play important roles in affecting the final structure where complexes 1 and 3 have 2D supramolecular networks, while complexes 2 and 4 have 3D supramolecular architectures.

We investigated the glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of dendrons consisting of conformationally mobile aliphatic polyether dendritic cores plus glassy peripheral polystyrenes (PSs), and linear PSs in the molecular weight range of 1000-8500 g/mol. We compared their $T_g$ behavior depending on their polymeric architecture. The linear PSs show a typical growth of $T_g$ up to 92.5 ${^{\circ}C}$ as the molecular weight increases to 8300 g/mol, while the dendrons display nearly constant $T_g$ values of 58-61 ${^{\circ}C}$, despite the increase of molecular weight with each generation. The striking contrast of Tg behavior would be mainly attributed to the fact that the dendrons keep the ratio of $N_e$/M ($N_e$: number of peripheral chain ends, M: molecular weight) over all the generations. Additionally, for the influence of dendritic spacers on glass transition temperature we prepared dimeric PSs with different linkage groups such as aliphatic ether, ester and amide bonds. We found that the dimer with the ether spacer exhibited the lowest glass transition at 55.4 ${^{\circ}C}$, while the amide linked dimer showed the highest glass transition temperature at 74.2 ${^{\circ}C}$. This indicates that the peripheral PS chains are effectively decoupled by the conformationally flexible ether spacer. The results from this study demonstrated that polymeric architecture and dendritic core structures play a crucial role in the determination of glass transition behavior, providing a strategy for the systematic engineering of polymer chain mobility.

Single-copy chloroplast loci are used widely to infer phylogenetic relationship at different taxonomic levels among various groups of plants. To test the utility of chloroplast loci and to provide additional data applicable to hybrid evolution in Musa, we sequenced two introns, rpl16 and ndhA, and two intergenic spacers, psaA-ycf3 and petA-psbJ-psbL-psbF and combined these data. Using these four regions, Musa acuminata Cola(A)- and M. balbisiana Colla (B)-containing genomes were clearly distinguished. Some triploid interspecific hybrids contain A-type chloroplasts (the AAB/ABB) while others contain B-type chloroplasts (the BBA/BBB). The chloroplasts of all cultivars in 'Namwa' (BBA) group came from the same wild maternal origin, but the specific parents are still unrevealed. Though, average sequence divergences in each region were little (less than 2%), we propose that petA-psbJ intergenic spacer could be developed for diversity assessment within each genome. This segment contains three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and two indels which could distinguish diversity within A genome whereas this same region also contains one SNP and an indel which could categorize B genome. However, an inverted repeat region which could form hairpin structure was detected in this spacer and thus was omitted from the analyses due to their incongruence to other regions. Until thoroughly identified in other members of Musaceae and Zingiberales clade, utility of this inverted repeat as phylogenetic marker in these taxa are cautioned.

셀룰로오스 아밀로오스 키토산, 키틴, 알긴산, 풀루란 또는 아밀로펙틴을 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시)]펜타노일 클로라이드(NA6C)와 반응시켜 전치환 또는 거의 전치환 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시카보닐)] 펜타노화 다당류 유도체들을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동들을 검토하였다. NA6C의 경우와 같이, 모든 다당류 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 이러한 사실은 다당류 유도체들의 액정 구조는 다당류 골격에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니고 mesogenic 곁사슬 그룹들에 의해 결정됨을 시사한다. 이것이 셀룰로오스 유도체들을 제외한 다당류 유도체들이 열방성 네마틱 상을 형성한다고 하는 최초의 보고이다. 다당류 유도체들에 있어서 관찰되는 네마틱 상들의 열적 안정성과 질서도는 아조벤젠 그룹들을 유연한 스페이서를 통하여 유연한 혹은 강직한 골격들에 도입시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과들과 현저히 다르다. 이들의 결과를 주사슬과 곁사슬의 배열 그리고 주사슬의 유연성의 차이와 관련하에서 검토하였다.

Deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap can be harvested as a composite free flap and is often used to adequately reconstruct wide mandibular defects. However, the harvesting of this DCIA flap can result in severe osseous defect of the donor site causing a morphologic defect in the iliac crest. To reconstruct this defect of the iliac donor site, several innovative techniques using bioactive ceramic spacers, autogenous rib bone, polylactic acid mesh, or titanium plates have been introduced. Nonetheless, these methods have not been widely used due to high cost, secondary donor site morbidity, difficulty of use, and postoperative dissatisfaction. We used two titanium plates to reconstruct the donor iliac site defect at the harvesting time of primary DCIA flap surgery in the 30-year old female with an ameloblastoma in the left mandible. Postoperatively, both iliac sites were relatively balanced and there were few complications. At the 2 years follow-up, there were no specific abnormal radiographic findings and the patient was very satisfied with her esthetic iliac contouring. In our report, we evaluate the effect of two titanium plates on the reconstruction of the iliac donor site in the aspects of esthetics and usefulness. This technique has many advantages, such as reduced cost, simplicity, decreased postoperative pain or discomfort, and improved bilateral balance of both anterior iliac crest contours, especially in young female patients.

Objective : The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes associated with the use of hydroxyapatite (HA) spacer and allogeneic bone (AB) spacer in laminoplasty. Methods : From January 2006 to July 2014, 79 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament underwent cervical laminoplasty. The radiologic parameters were obtained from plain radiography and three-dimensional computed tomography. All images were taken before and after surgery. Cervical lordosis, spinal canal dimension, fusion between lamina and spacer, and resorption of spacer were checked. Clinical outcomes were assessed using visual analog scale and Japanese Orthopedic Association. Results : Double-door laminoplasty was performed on 280 levels : 182 in the HA group and 98 in the AB group. The mean follow-up was 23.1 months (range : 4-69 months). Similar fusion rates were found in these groups (p=0.3). The resorption rate between lamina and spacer was lower in the HA group (p<0.001). During the immediate postoperative period, the canal dimension of both groups increased compared with the results in the preoperative period. However, the canal dimension of the AB group decreased over time compared with that of the HA group (p<0.001). Conclusion : Double-door laminoplasty improved the clinical outcomes of both groups. However, the spinal canal dimension in the AB group showed a greater degree of reduction than in the HA group at the final postoperative follow-up. Therefore, we suggest that surgeons consider the use of larger-sized AB spacers in double-door laminoplasties.

Generally, the direct sequencing through PCR is faster, easier, cheaper, and more practical than clone sequencing. Frequently, standard PCR amplification is usually interpreted by mispriming internal or external regions of the target template. Normally, DNA fragments were eluted from the gel using Gel extraction kit and subjected to direct sequencing or cloning sequencing. Cloning sequencing has often troublesome and needs more time to analyze for many samples. Since touchdown (TD) PCR can generate sufficient and highly specific amplification, it reduces unwanted amplicon generation. Accordingly, TD PCR is a good method for direct sequencing due to amplifying wanted fragment. In plants the 5S-rRNA gene is separated by simple spacers. The 5S-rRNA gene sequence is very well-conserved between plant species while the spacer is species-specific. Therefore, the sequence has been used for phylogenetic studies and species identification. But frequent occurrences of spurious bands caused by complex genomes are encountered in the product spectrum of standard PCR amplification. In conclusion, the TD PCR method can be applied easily to amplify main 5S-rRNA and direct sequencing of panax ginseng cultivars.

광통신용 WDM 박막필터를 다중 공동 구조에 의한 방법과 등가 박막을 이용한 방법으로 설계하였고 특징을 비교하였다. 다중 공동 필터는 공동의 수가 증가함에 따라 변수(공동의 수, 각 거울의 주기수, 간격층의 차수)가 많아 설계가 매우 복잡해지므로 보다 실용성 있는 설계를 위해 대칭적으로 변수를 변화시켜 설계하였다. 다중 공동 구조에 의한 방법은 일반적으로 사용되는 4중, 5중 공동 필터를 대칭적으로 변수를 변화시켜 각각 100 ㎓, 50 ㎓ DWDM박막필터를 설계하기 위한 조건을 제시하였고, 또한 다중 공동 필터를 등가 박막으로 해석하여 변수를 최소화하고, 등가 박막의 특성과 WDM 필터의 규격이 대응되도록 설계과정을 일반화시켜 WDM 박막필터를 설계하였다. 두 방법을 비교한 결과 중요한 특징은 다중 공동 구조에 의한 방법은 변수를 적절히 변화시키는 방법을 사용하고 있어 시행착오를 거쳐야 하지만, 등가 박막을 이용한 방법은 체계적이고 정량화된 설계를 할 수 있다.
