목적 : I-131 치료를 받는 분화갑상선압 환자에서 I-131의 유효반감기($T_{eff}$)는 투여량의 계산이나 격리치료의 기간을 결정하기 위해서는 알아야 할 값 중 하나이다. 그러나 $T_{eff}$를 계산하려면 자주 선량을 측정해야 하기 때문에 측정하는 사람의 방사선노출이 문제가 된다. 이런 이유로 아직 한국인에서 $T_{eff}$값은 찾기 어렵다. 측정하는 사람에 대한 방사선 노출 없이 연속적으로 선량 변화를 측정하고, 이로부터 $T_{eff}$와 48시간 체내잔류량, 1.1 GBq이하가 될 때까지의 시간을 계산하고자 하였다. 방법: 방사선 선량계의 탐침은 격리치료실 안의 벽에 고정하고, 선량계는 밖에서 읽도록 하는 간단한 방법을 사용하였다. 2006년 1월부터 12월까지 I-131 치료($3.7{\sim}7.4\;GBq$)를 받은 분화갑상선 환자 68명(여=55, 남=13, 연령=$47{\pm}13.7$)에서 격리치료실 입원 중 선량변화를 측정하였다. 이 값을 가지고 개인용 컴퓨터의 스프레드시트 프로그램을 사용하여 $T_{eff}$를 계산하였다. 모든 환자에서 혈중 크레아티닌 농도를 측정하였다. 결과: $T_{eff}$는 $15.4{\pm}4.3$ ($9.4{\sim}32.5$)시간이었다. $T_{eff}$는 혈중 크레아티닌이 증가할수록 길어지는 경향은 있었으나, 상관계수는 높지 않았다(r=0.45). 48시간 후 남은 양은 $4.9{\pm}4.2$ ($1{\sim}23$)%였다. 전신에 남은 양이 1.1GBq 이하가 될 때까지의 시간은, 9.25GBq를 투여한다고 가정했을 때에는 $47.1{\pm}13.2$시간, 7.4 GBq일 때 $42.1{\pm}11.9$시간, 5.55 GBq일 때 $35.7{\pm}10$시간, 3.7 GBq일 때 $26.7{\pm}7.5$시간으로 계산되었다. 결론: 선량계의 탐침과 몸체를 분리하는 간단한 방법으로 측정하는 사람의 방사선노출이 없이 격리치료실에 입원한 환자의 선량변화를 연속적으로 측정할 수 있었고, 유도된 곡선으로부터 $T_{eff}$를 계산했다. 이 값을 이용하여 48시간 체내잔류량과 투여한 양이 1.1 GBq 이하가 될 때까지의 시간을 계산하였다.

4-probe resistivity measurement technique was used to study kinetics of hydrogen absorption-desorption on Pd film($520{\AA}$ thick) at room temperature upto 1 bar. Kinetics data are fitted well to 1st order kinetics equation in ${\alpha}$ and ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phases. In ${\alpha}+{\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase, absorption kinetics was very complicated, but it could be explained partially with nucleation and growth process. Ln(dR/dt) vs. time plot gives rate constant k value(R is resistance of sample, t is time). k value for absorption is $4^{-6}{\times}10^{-4}/sec$ in ${\alpha}$ phase. k is increasing upto $4^{\times}10^{-2}/sec$ as hydrogen pressure increasing in ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase. k is proportional to ln(Pop/Peq), where Peq is equilibrium plateau pressure and Pop is the opposing pressure. In contrast to bulk sample k value was decreasing with increasing number of A-D cycling in ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase absorption.

To investigate the practical assessing method of pork quality, 302 carcasses were selected randomly to represent commercial conditions and were probed at 24 hr postmortem (PM) by Danish Meat Quality Marbling (MQM), Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP), Sensoptic Resistance Probe (SRP) and NWK pH-K21 meter (NpH). Also, filter paper wetness (FPW), lightness (L*), ultimate pH (pHu), subjective color (SC), firmness/wetness (SF) and marbling scores (SM) were recorded. Each carcass was categorized as either PSE (pale, soft and exudative), RSE (Reddish-pink, soft and exudative), RFN (reddish-pink, firm and non-exudative) or DFD (dark, firm and dry). When discriminant analysis was used to sort carcasses into four quality groups the highest proportion of correct classes was 65% by HGP, 60% by MQM, 52% by NpH and 32% by SRP. When independent variables were combined to sort carcasses into groups the success was only 67%. When RSE and RFN groups were merged so that there were only three groups (PSE, RSE+RFN, DFD) differentiating by color MQM was able to sort the same set of data into the new set of three groups with 80% accuracy. The proportions of correct classifications for HGP, NpH and SRP were 75%, 61% and 35% respectively. There was a decline in predication accuracy when only two groups, exudative (PSE and RES) and non exudative (RFN and DFD) were sorted. However, when two groups designated PSE and non-PSE (RSE, RFN and DFD) were sorted then the proportion of correct classification by MQM, HGP, SRP and NpH were 87%, 81%, 71% and 66% respectively. Combinations of variables only increased the prediction accuracy by 1 or 2% over prediction by MQM alone. When the data was sorted into three marbling groups based on SM this was not well predicted by any of the probe measurements. The best prediction accuracy was 72% by a combination of MQM and NpH.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that sample their environment and present antigens to naïve T lymphocytes for the subsequent antigen-specific immune responses. DCs exist in a range of distinct subpopulations including plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and classical DCs (cDCs), with the latter consisting of the cDC1 and cDC2 lineages. Although the roles of DC-specific transcription factors across the DC subsets have become understood, the posttranscriptional mechanisms that regulate DC development are yet to be elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression in a myriad of biological processes, but their contribution to the immune system is just beginning to surface. In this study, our in-house probe collection was screened to identify miRNAs possibly involved in DC development and function by targeting the transcripts of relevant mouse transcription factors. Examination of DC subsets from the culture of mouse bone marrow with Flt3 ligand identified high expression of miR-124 which was able to target the transcript of TCF4, a transcription factor critical for the development and homeostasis of pDCs. Further expression profiling of mouse DC subsets isolated from in vitro culture as well as via ex vivo purification demonstrated that miR-124 was outstandingly expressed in CD24⁺ cDC1 cells compared to in pDCs and CD172α⁺ cDC2 cells. These results imply that miR-124 is likely involved in the processes of DC subset development by posttranscriptional regulation of a transcription factor(s).

The growth and synthetic activities of fibroblasts are regulated by cytokines and growth factors derived from activated inflammatory cells. Stimulatory effect of low level laser (LLL) radiation on wound healing seems to be in part due to direct stimulatory action on cell proliferation and synthetic activities of fibroblasts. Also indirect stimulatory effect on the fibroblast function through inflammatory or immune cells is another possible mechanism of biostimulatory action of LLL. This study was performed to determine the growth rate of human gingival fibroblasts obtained biopsy and culture, fibroblast cell line, and immune cell line by using $[^3H]-$ thymidine incorporation test. And gene expression pattern was also analyzed by using the DNA probe such as Hsp70, IL-1$\beta$, MIP-1$\alpha$ and actin cDNA. Proliferation rate of gingival fibroblast was increased by LLL irradiation, but no more effect was added by LPS or IL-1$\beta$ pretreatment Enhanced Hsp70 gene expression was found from gingival fibroblasts and fibroblast cell line COS by LLL irradiation., which was not more increased by LPS or IL-1$\beta$ pretreatment. LLL-irradiated promyelcytic cell line HL-60 and macrophage cell line RAW264.7 showed significant stimulatory effect of proliferation rate when compared with respective control. However there were no changes in growth rate of other immune cell tested in this study, such as B cell line WR19n.l and 230, helper T cell line Jurkat and Hut78, cytolytic T cell line CTLL-r8. By LLL-irradiation Hsp70 gene expression was increased in RAW246.7 and HL-60, not in CTLL-R8. And IL-1$\beta$ and MIP-1$\alpha$ gene expression were induced only from LLL-irradiated RAW264.7. These results led us to presume that LLL radiation may affect to the immune cells, especially to macrophage, through which it might promote wound healing process.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of two dental scanners. Methods: The master die and the stone replicas(Kavo, Germany) were digitized in touch-probe scanner(Incise, Renishaw, UK), white light scanner(Identica, Medit, Korea) to create 3-dimensional surface-models. The number of points in the point clouds from each reading were calculated and used as the CAD reference model(CRM). Discrepancies between the points in the 3-dimensional surface models and the corresponding CRM were measured by a matching-software(Power-Inspect R2, Delcam Plc, UK). The t-student test for one samples were used for statistical analysis. Results: The reproducibility of both scanner was within $3{\mu}m$, based on mean value. The mean value between measurements made directly on the touch probe scanner digital models and those made on the white light scanner digital models was $2.20-2.90{\mu}m$, and was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion: With respect to adequate data acquisition, the reproducibility of dental scanner differs. Three-dimensional analysis can be applied to differential quality analysis of the manufacturing process as well as to evaluation of different analysis methods.

본 연구에서는 ERP검사 중에는 중뇌동맥의 MFV가 검사전후와 비교하여 유의하게 증가힌 소견을 보였다. 비록 중뇌동맥의 혈류속도의 변화가 뇌활동정도를 직접 반영할 수는 없다고 생각이 되지만 이 연구의 결과로 P300의 생성에 중뇌동맥에 의해서 영양받는 전두엽, 측두엽 및 두정엽이나 다른 대뇌부위가 관여할 것으로 사료된다. 경두개도플러검사는 다른 뇌기능활동을 반영할 수 있는 양전자방출단층촬영이나 단일광자방출단층촬영과 같이 혈류역학을 볼 수 있는 검사와 병행하여 연구하면 P300의 발생부위를 규명하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 사료되며 뇌활동을 역동적으로 평가하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

The Cu - $Nb_3Sn$ composites wire as a superconducting material was prepared by in situ method as follow: Cu - 15wt.% Nb alloys which were melted in a high -frequency induction furnace and casted in bar were cold-worked up to the final diameter of 0.24 mm, electroplated with Sn, pre-treated in two steps and then diffused at $550{\sim}650^{\circ}C$ for 24 ~ 96 hrs. The overall $J_c$ and $T_c$ of the specimens were measured by the four point-probe method at 10 K in the magnetic field of 0 Tesla. The overall $J_c$ of the composites wire which diffused at $550^{\circ}C$ after pre-treating in two steps were generally higher than those of the wire at either $600^{\circ}C$ or $650^{\circ}C$. For the specimens diffused at $550^{\circ}C$, the overall $J_c$ were increased until 72 hrs. of diffusion time and then decreased. However, in case of diffusion at $600^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$, the overall $J_c$ were gradually decreased from the beginning. The maximum overall $J_c$ obtained in this experiment was $1.3{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$, which was measured for the specimen diffused at $550^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs. When the specimens were diffused at $550^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs, after pre-treating, the measured critical temperature, $T_c$ was 16.19 K. Similar $T_c$ value were obtained in other specimens regardless of diffusion time and temperature.

수질환경에서 일어나는 GEM 균주의 항생물질내성유전자의 전이동태를 연구하기 위하여, $Km^{r}$ plasmid 의 conjugation을 실시하였다. 그 결과 conjugant 들에 나타나는 plasmid 의 재배열을 agarose gel 에서 비교분석하였고, DNA probe 유전자의 행방을 추구하였다. GMM 균주들 (DKC600 과 DKC601) 의 $Km^{r}$유전자는 자연계 분리균주(DK1) 보다 더 높은 전이율이 나타났으나, recipient 에 따라 다소 차이가 있었다. Conjugant 들에서 나타나는 plasmid 의 재배열도 donor가 GMM 균주에서 전이된 plasmid 들은 특이하게 그 분자량이 커졌다. LB 에서 수온이 10.deg.C 보다는 25.deg.C 이상 그리고 pH 가 9 에서 5에 가까울수록$Km^{r}$ 유전자는 더 많이 전이되었으나, FW 에서는 수온과 pH 에 의한 영향이 거의 없었다. 또 FW 에서는 GMM 균주의 conjugant 들에서 chromosome 이외에 plasmid 가 거의 발견되지 않았다. 이와 같이 plasmid 들이 다양하게 재배열된 conjugant 들에서 Southern analysis 에 의하여 $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 행방을 알아본 결과, LB 에서는 DK1 뿐만 아니라 GMM 균주들의 $Km^{r}$ plasmid 가 전이된후 그대로 존재하였다. 그러나 FW 의 수질환경에서는 donor 의 $Km^{r}$ plasmid / 는 없어지고 chromosome 에서 hybridization signal 이 나타났다. 또 FW 에서는 donor 가 DK1 일 경우 pDK101 은 수온과 pH 의 영향없이 pDK101 이 그대로 전이되었다. 그러므로 LB 나 AW 에서는 DK1 뿐만 아니라 GMM 규주들의 Km$^{r}$ plasmid 가 전이된후 conjugant 에 그대로 존재하였고 기타의 plasmid 들이 다양하게 재배열되었지만, FW 수질환경에서는 DKC600 의 $Km^{r}$ 유전자가 수온이나 pH 에 상관없이 chromosome 에 integration 되었다.

Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) such as Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) was shown to be the powerful tool for nano-scale characterization of a fracture surface . AFM was used to study cross sectional profiles and dimensions of fatigue striations in 2017-T351 aluminum alloy. Their widths (SW) and heights (SH) were measured from the cross sectional profiles of three-dimension AFM images. The following results that will be helpful to understand the fatigue crack growth mechanism were obtained. (1) Coincidence of the crack growth rate with the striation width was found down to the growth rate of 10-5 mm/cycle. (2) The relation of SH=0.085(SW)1.2 was obtained. (3) The ratio of the striation height to its width SH/SW did not depend on the stress intensity factor range K and the stress ratio R. (4) Not only the SW but also the SH changed linearly with the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) when plotted in log-log scale. From these results, the applicability of the AFM to nano-fractography is discussed.
