Influence of $TiO_2$ on the dielectric properties of the $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic with 7 wt% zinc borosilicate(ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the $TiO_2$ contents with a view to applying this system to LTCC technology. The $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic addition of 7 wt% ZBS glass ensured successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. But, TCF of $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic is large negative values, respectively, it is necessary to adjust to zero TCF for practical applications Therefore, the addition of materials having positive TCF, such as $TiO_2$, might be an effective method for the improvement. In general, increasing addition of $TiO_2$ increased dielectric constant and TCF but it decreased the sinterability and $Q{\tiems}f$ value significantly due to the dielectric property and high sintering temperature of $TiO_2$. $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic with 7 wt% ZBS glass and then addition 0.5 wt% $TiO_2$ sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 42 in the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$), 1,000 GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value, and $10{\pm}5\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$).

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.

Objective: To determine the expression of E-cadherin, ${\beta}$-catenin, and transcription factor 4 (TCF4) proteins in gastric diseases with relation to Helicobacter pylori infection. Methods: A total of 309 patients including 60 with superficial gastritis (SG), 57 with atrophic gastritis (AG) and 192 with gastric cancer (GC), were enrolled. The expression of E-cadherin, ${\beta}$-catenin, TCF4 proteins in the gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry and H. pylori infection by immunohistochemistry and PCR. Results: The expression rates of E-cadherin were significantly higher in SG and AG than in GC (P<0.01), while those of ${\beta}$-catenin in the nucleus were significantly lower in SG and AG than in GC (P<0.05). In GC cases, the expression rates of E-cadherin, ${\beta}$-catenin and TCF4 were significantly higher in the intestinal type than in the diffuse type (P<0.05). In GC patients, the expression rate of E-cadherin was significantly higher in the presence of H. pylori than in the absence of infection (P=0.011). Moreover, the expression level of TCF4 and ${\beta}$-catenin protein was significantly higher in the nucleus and cytoplasm in H. pylori positive than in H. pylori negative GC patients, especially in those with the intestinal type (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: The expression of E-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin progressively decreases during the process of GC tumorigenesis, while overexpression of TCF4 occurs. H. pylori infection is associated with a significant increase in the expression of E-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin in the cytoplasm and nucleus in GC patients, especially those with the intestinal type.

객체지향 개발 방법론을 적용하는 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트에서 개발 노력 추정 기법으로 사용사례점수(UCP, Use Case Point)에 대한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 기존의 연구는 기술적 요인과 환경적 요인을 적용한 AUCP(Adjusted Use Case Point)에 상수를 곱하여 개발 노력을 계산하는 선형모델을 제시하고 있으나, AUCP와 UUCP(Unadjusted Use Case Point)를 이용하여 개발노력을 추정하는 통계적인 모델은 제시되지 않고 있다. 소프트웨어 규모가 증가함에 따라 개발 기간이 기하급수적으로 증가하는 선형 회귀모델이 부적합하다는 사실과 UCP 계산과정에서 TCF(Technical Complexity Factor)와 EF(Environmental Factor)를 적용에 따른 FP(Function Point) 오차 발생 문제점을 확인하였다. 이 논문은 사용사례점수를 기반으로 하여 기존 연구의 문제점인 TCF와 EF를 고려하지 않고 직접 UUCP로부터 개발 노력을 추정한 수 있는 선형, 로그형, 다항식, 거듭제곱 및 지수함수 회귀모델의 성능을 평가한 결과, 가장 적합한 모델로 지수형태의 비선형 회귀모델을 도출하였다.

TPA is known to cooperate with an activated Ras oncogene in the transformation of rodent fibroblasts, but the biochemical mechanisms responsible for this effect have not been established. In the present study we used c-fos promoter-luciferase constructs as reporters, in transient transfection assays, in NIH3T3 cells to assess the mechanism of this cooperation. We found a marked synergistic interaction between TPA and a transfected v-Ha-ras oncogene in the activation of c-fos promoter and SRE. SRE has binding sites for TCF and SRF. A dominant-negative Ras (ras-N17) inhibited the TPA-Ras synergy by blocking the PKC-MAPK-TCF pathway. Dominant-negative RhoA and Rac1 (but not Cdc42Hs) inhibited the TPA-Ras synergy by blocking the Ras-Rho-SRF signaling pathway. Constitutively active $PKC{\alpha}$ and $PKC{\varepsilon}$ showed synergy with v-Ras. These results suggest that the activation of two distinct pathways such as Ras-Raf-ERK-TCF pathway and Rho-SRF pathway are responsible for the induction of c-fos by TPA and Ras in mitogenic signaling pathways.

In order to protect the spermatozoa against cold shock, hen egg yolk is widely used as a cryoprotective agent in semen freezing extenders for domestic animals. The protective action of yolk is largely presumed to be due to low density lipoproteins (LDL). The effects of LDL on sperm quality of bull and northern pike (Esox lucius) after freezing-thawing have been reported, but no study has been made to evaluate the effect of LDL on boar sperm motility and other characteristics. The experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of LDL on the freezing of boar sperm in 0.25 ml straws. The aim was to evaluate the quality of boar spermatozoa cryopreserved in the presence of LDL. Motility of semen cryopreserved in LDL was analyzed and compared to semen cryopreserved with Tris-citric acid-glucose (TCG) and Tris-citric acid-fructose (TCF), two basic freezing extenders containing egg yolk. Similarly, acrosome and plasma membrane integrity were also evaluated and compared to semen cryopreserved with TCG and TCF. Analysis of sperm quality after freeze-thaw showed that the motility, acrosome and plasma membrane integrity were improved with LDL in the extender, as compared to the TCG and TCF. The highest post-thaw integrity of acrosome and plasma membrane and motility were obtained with 9% LDL (w/v). Consequently, the optimum LDL concentration in the extender was 9%. It is also suggested that the concentration of LDL addition is important for the effect on boar sperm protection during freezing and thawing. The percentage of motile spermatozoa was significantly higher after freezing in 9% LDL than in TCG and TCF 54.4% versus 30.4% and 30.1% (p<0.05), respectively. The integrity of acrosome and plasma membrane were also significantly higher at 70.3% and 50.5% respectively with semen frozen in 9% LDL extender compared to TCG at 37.8% and 30.3% and TCF at 36.4% and 29.9%, respectively (p<0.05),. In conclusion, we propose that extender containing LDL extracted from hen egg yolk could be used as a cryoprotective media with a better efficiency than TCG and TCF. LDL improved boar semen quality, allowing better spermatozoa motility, acrosome and plasma membrane integrity after the freeze-thaw process. Furthermore, we found out that the extender with 9% LDL concentration significantly enhanced motility, acrosome and plasma membrane integrity of boar sperm after freezing and thawing.

The prevalence of early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) is increasing in Asian countries. Genome-wide association studies performed in European and various other populations have identified associations of numerous variants with type 2 diabetes in adults. However, the genetic component of EOT2D which is still unexplored could have similarities with late-onset type 2 diabetes. Here in the present study we aim to identify the association of variants with EOT2D in South Indian population. Twenty-five variants from 18 gene loci were genotyped in 1,188 EOT2D and 1,183 normal glucose tolerant subjects using the MassARRAY technology. We confirm the association of the HHEX variant rs1111875 with EOT2D in this South Indian population and also the association of CDKN2A/2B (rs7020996) and TCF7L2 (rs4506565) with EOT2D. Logistic regression analyses of the TCF7L2 variant rs4506565(A/T), showed that the heterozygous and homozygous carriers for allele 'T' have odds ratios of 1.47 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 1.83; p = 0.001) and 1.65 (95% CI, 1.18 to 2.28; p = 0.006) respectively, relative to AA homozygote. For the HHEX variant rs1111875 (T/C), heterozygous and homozygous carriers for allele 'C' have odds ratios of 1.13 (95% CI, 0.91 to 1.42; p = 0.27) and 1.58 (95% CI, 1.17 to 2.12; p = 0.003) respectively, relative to the TT homozygote. For CDKN2A/2B variant rs7020996, the heterozygous and homozygous carriers of allele 'C' were protective with odds ratios of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.51 to 0.83; p = 0.0004) and 0.62 (95% CI, 0.27 to 1.39; p = 0.24) respectively, relative to TT homozygote. This is the first study to report on the association of HHEX variant rs1111875 with EOT2D in this population.
