  • In this study, we evaluated the effect of the extracts from Lonicera caerulea leaves (LCLE), branches (LCBE) and fruits (LCFE) on the cell growth and migration in human colorectal cancer cells, HCT116 and SW480 cells. LCLE and LCBE dose- and time-dependently inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 and SW480 cells. However, LCFE did not affect the proliferation of HCT116 and SW480 cells. In addition, LCLE and LCBE dramatically cell migration and wound healing in HCT116 cells. LCLE and LCBE decreased β-catenin protein level but not mRNA level in HCT116 and SW480 cells. Furthermore, LCLE decreased TCF4 level in both protein and mRNA level in HCT116 and SW480 cells. However, LCBE decreased TCF4 protein level but not mRNA level in HCT116 and SW480 cells. Based on these findings, LCLE and LCBE may inhibit the cell proliferation and migration through blocking Wnt signaling activation in human colorectal cancer cells. Therefore, LCLE and LCBE may be a potential candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for human colorectal cancer.

  • OCC의 구성 특성을 조사하고 OCC로부터 elemental chlorine free (ECF)나 totally chlorine free (TCF) 표백을 통한 백색도 85% (ISO) 이상의 인쇄 및 필기용지를 제조하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. American old corrugated containers (AOCC)는 Korean old corrugated containers (KOCC)보다 섬유길이가 길며, 주로 장섬유로 구성되어 있고 전자의 경우 약 80%가 unbleached kraft pulp (UKP)로 구성되어 있으나 후자는 20% 정도였다. 또한 KOCC의 경우 회분함량 (9.7%)과 NaOH 추출물 (19.3%)이 AOCC보다 현저히 높았다. AOCC로부터 ECF 표백이 가능한 펄프 (kappa no. 25이하, 수율 70%)를 생산하기 위한 증해조건은 활성알칼리 20%, 황화도 25%, Anthraquinone (AQ) 0.1%, 펄핑온도 $170^{\circ}C$, 증해시간 90분이다 (kappa no. 22.6, 수율 68%). KOCC의 경우는 증해시간을 60분으로 단축시킬 수 있었다. (kappa no. 16.4, 수율 66%) 증해된 AOCC 펄프를 TCF나 ECF 표백단계를 거치면 백색도 85% (ISO) 이상의 펄프를 생산할 수 있었다. 그러나 KOCC 펄프는 TCF 표백으로서 목표 백색도를 달성할 수 없었다. 표백 KOCC 펄프는 표백 AOCC 펄프에 비하여 연장지수가 낮으나 파열지수와 인열지수는 오히려 높은 경향을 나타내었다.

  • Microwave dielectric characteristics and physical properties of the new Zr$_{1-x}$ (Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ (0.2$\leq$x$\geq$ 1.0) system have been investigated as a function of the amount of Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$substitution. With increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content (x), two phase regions were observed: $\alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x<0.4), mixture of the rutile type Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$Ti $O_4$ and the $\alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x$\geq$0.4). In the$\alpha$-Pb $O_2$solid solution region below x<0.4, the Q.f$_{0}$ value sharply increased and the Temperature Coefficient of the Resonant Frequency(TCF) decreased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ contents while dielectric constant (K) showed nearly same value. In the mixture region above x$\geq$4, the dielectric constant and TCF increased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content. Zr$_{1-x}$ (Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ materials have excellent microwave dielectric properties with K=44.0, Q.f$_{0}$ : 41000 GHz and TCF =-3.0 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at x=0.35.=0.35. x=0.35.=0.35.

  • Nd치환이 Ag의 용융점 이하인 94$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 $Bi_{1-x}$$Nd_{x}$N$bO_{4}$세라믹스의 소결거동과 마이크로파 유전특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Nd치환량(x)이 증가함에 따라 사방점에서 삼사정으로 변하는 양이 증가하였고 결정립의 크기, 겉보기밀도, 유전상수는 감소하였다. Q$xf_{0}$값은 Nd 치환량이 0.025mole 이하의 경우 큰 변화가 없으나, 그 이상에서는 증가하여 0.1mol일 때 최고값을 보이고 다시 급격히 감소하였다. TCF값은 Nd치환량이 증가할수록(+)방향으로 증가하였다. 가장 우수한 마이크로파 유전특성은 Nd 치환량이 0.025mole일 때 얻어졌으며, 이때 유전상수는 43.7, Qxf/ sub 0/값은 11,046GHz, TCF값은 -1.82ppm/$^{\circ}C$이었다.

  • The different polymorphisms of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene promote variances in diabetes susceptibility in humans. We investigated whether these genotypes also promote differences in diabetic susceptibility in commercial pigs. Growing pigs (Landrace, both sex, 50-60 kg) with the C/C (n=4) and T/T (n=5) TCF7L2 genotypes were identified and intravenously injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg) twice in weekly intervals, then a high-energy diet was offered. Oral glucose tolerance tests, blood analyses and the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index calculations were performed. The animals were sacrificed at the end of 12 weeks of treatment to reveal the pancreas histomorphometry. The results showed that all of the treated pigs grew normally despite exhibiting hyperglycemia at two weeks after the induction. The glycemic level of the fasting or postprandial pigs gradually returned to normal. The fasting insulin concentration was significantly decreased for the T/T carriers but not for the C/C carriers, and the resulting HOMA-IR index was significantly increased for the C/C genotype, indicating that the models of insulin dependence and resistance were respectively developed by T/T and C/C carriers. The histopathological results illustrated a significant reduction in the pancreas mass and insulin active sites, which suggested increased damage. The results obtained here could not be compared with previous studies because the TCF7L2 background has not been reported. Growing pigs may be an excellent model for diabetic in children if the animals are genetically pre-selected.

  • 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).

  • This study was focused on the effect of sintering additive and particle size on the low temperature sintering of $0.85CaWO_4-0.15SmNbO_4$ ceramics. With an increase of $CaV_2O_6$ content, the sintering temperature of the specimens was reduced from $1150^{\circ}C\;to\;800^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant (K) and Qf value were increased with $CaV_2O_6$ content. These results are due to the enhancement of the density by the liquid phase sintering. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) was slightly shifted to the positive value with $CaV_2O_6$ content. Typically, K of 12.64, Qf of 23,106 GHz, TCF of $-34ppm/^{\circ}C$ were obtained for the specimens with 7 wt.% $CaV_2O_6$ sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 3 h.

  • $Zn_{1-x}(Li_{1/2}La_{1/2})_xTiO_3$ ($0.01{\leq}x{\leq}0.05$)세라믹스에 $H_3BO_3$를 4 wt% 첨가 후 $(Li_{1/2}La_{1/2})^{2+}$ 치환량 변화에 따른 저온 소결 거동 및 마이크로파 유전특성을 고찰하였다. 저온 소결첨가제인 H$_3$BO$_3$를 4 wt% 첨가하여 소결온도를 $1150^{\circ}C$에서 $875^{\circ}C$로 낮출 수 있었으며, 치환량 변화에 따른 유전상수와 공진주파수 온도계수(TCF)의 변화는 존재상의 유전체 혼합 법칙(dielectric mixing rule)에 의존하였고, 품질계수(Qf)는 소결 시편의 밀도와 미세구조에 의존하여 변화되었다 $875^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 소결한 경우 x=0.03에서 K=26.5, Qf=19,030 GHz, TCF=7.5 ppm$/^{\circ}C$를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • This paper describes the temperature characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators. The $1.2{\mu}m$ and $0.4{\mu}m$ thick polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilever and doubly clamped beam resonators with $60{\sim}100{\mu}m$ lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. The TCF(Temperature Coefficient of Frequency) of 60, 80 and 100 On long cantilever resonators were -9.79, -7.72 and -8.0 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, TCF of 60, 80 and $100{\mu}m$ long doubly clamped beam resonators were -15.74, -12.55 and -8.35 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC resonators are suitable with RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications in harsh environments.

  • Dependencies of dielectric properties on $MgTa_2O_6$, $MgNb_2O_6$, and $MgWO_4$ (Mg-based ceramics) fillers of the polystyrene (PS) matrix composites were investigated as a function of frequency. With increasing frequency from 1 GHz to 7.3 GHz, the dielectric constant (K) of the composites was not changed significantly, while the dielectric loss (tan${\delta}$) of the composites was slightly decreased. The K, tan${\delta}$, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of the composites were dependent on the type and amount of ceramics at 11 GHz. Also, several theoretical models have been employed to predict the effective dielectric constant of the composites and the results were compared with experimental data. Typically, a K value of 6.67, tan${\delta}$ of $0.56{\times}10^{-3}$, and TCF of -4.99 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ were obtained for the PS composites with 0.4 volume fraction of $MgNb_2O_6$ at 11 GHz.
