Purpose: Some patients who have undergone surgery due to lumbar disc herniation still complain of leg pain and other abnormal sensations. Therefore, the study examined the effects of the neurodynamics on pain and other abnormal nerve sensations in post-operated patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods: The participants of this study comprised 20 adults (10 males and 10 females) who were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. The subjects were classified into two groups of 10 patients each in the lower extremity neurodynamics (LEN) and lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) groups. Each intervention was applied twice a day for one week and was composed of two different exercise patterns; one was applied by a therapist, and the other was performed by the patients themselves. The data were analyzed using assessment methods of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), Toronto clinical neuropathy scoring system (TCNSS), Sympathetic Skin Response (SSR) test, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scale. Results: Significant differences in TCNSS, DITI, ODI scale were observed between the LEN and LSE group (p<0.01). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the SSR test between pre and post-treatment (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that neurodynamics treatment is effective in pain reduction and abnormal sensations, such as leg muscle cramps, in post-operated patients with lumbar disc herniation.

수출용 냉동딸기 제조 시 미생물학적 안전성 확보를 위한 수단으로 이산화염소수와 acetic acid 병합처리를 최적 비가열 전처리 기술로써 적용하여 -20, -70, $-196^{\circ}C$로 냉동한 후 미생물 수, 품질변화 및 관능평가를 조사하였다. 냉동방법 및 세척 처리에 따른 색도 차이는 나타나지 않았고, 비타민 C 함량은 $-70^{\circ}C$ 냉동에서 35.33 mg/100 g FW로 가장 대조구와 유사하였으며, drip loss도 $-70^{\circ}C$ 냉동이 14.39%로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 관능평가 역시 $-70^{\circ}C$ 냉동이 -20, $-196^{\circ}C$ 냉동보다 높은 점수를 받았으며, 세척처리는 비타민 C 함량, drip loss 및 관능평가에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 냉동딸기에 50 ppm 이산화염소수와 1% acetic acid를 병합 처리하여 냉동 후 미생물 수 변화를 측정한 결과, 냉동 전과 같이 병합처리 된 딸기 시료에서 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 저장성이 높은 수출용 냉동딸기 생산을 위해서는 gas nitrogen convection chamber를 이용한 $-70^{\circ}C$에서의 급속냉동 처리가 보다 효과적인 냉동방법이며, 냉동 처리만으로는 미생물 제어가 어렵기 때문에 냉동 전 비가열 전처리를 통해서 냉동딸기의 미생물학적 안전성을 확보해야 한다고 판단된다.

To investigate the effects of facial blood flow rates(FBFR) and facial skin temperature(FST) generated by Gagam-Jawoonaek(GJ) application(appl.) after Miso Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture(MFRA). Ten people in their twenties to fifties with no skin diseases were recruited. We randomly divided subjects two groups(A, B) and set the GJ appl. site(group A - right side, group B - left side). MFRA was performed on both sides of their face. Immediately after acupuncture treatment(AT treat.), GJ was applied only half of the face. We measured their FBFR using Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging(LDPI) and FST using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI) at pre-AT treat., immediately after AT treat., twenty and sixty minutes after GJ appl.. We analyzed data using Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon test(p < 0.05). After MFRA treat., FBFR on both sides increased. Twenty minutes after JW appl., the changes of FBFR on GJ appl. side($122.9{\pm}43.1PU$) were bigger than GJ non-appl. side($80.9{\pm}38.4PU$), a statistically significant decrease. Sixty minutes after application, FBFR on both sides were recovered almost at the same level as that of pre-AT treat. After MFRA treat., FST on both sides increased. Twenty minutes after GJ appl., the changes of FST on GJ appl. side($1.1{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$) were comparable to that of GJ non-appl. side($1.2{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$). Sixty minutes after application, FST on both sides were recovered almost at the same level as that of pre-AT treat.. Gagam-Jawoonaek could decrease facial blood flow rates.

무연 리플로우 공정 횟수에 따른 organic solderability preservative(OSP) 표면처리 두께변화 및 열화현상을 분석하였다. 무연솔더 접합부의 접합강도에 미치는 OSP 표면처리의 열화특성을 SnPb 표면처리 경우와 비교하여 조사하였다. 또한 리플로우 pass에 따른 무연솔더 접합강도 열화분석을 위해 OSP 및 SnPb 표면처리된 FR-4 재질 PCB를 각각 1-6회 리플로우 처리하였다. 이후 각 리플로우를 거친 PCB 위에 2012 칩 저항기를 실장한 후 접합강도 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 리플로우 공정 중 열 노출에 의해 OSP 코팅두께가 감소되는 것이 관찰되었고, 코팅두께의 변화 및 OSP 코팅 층의 산화를 유발함으로써, 솔더의 젖음성이 감소될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. OSP 열화에 따른 솔더 접합강도는 SnPb 표리처리시 평균 62.2 N 이였으며, OSP의 경우는 약 58.1 N 이였다. 리플로우 공정 노출에 따라 OSP 코팅 층은 열분해 되지만, 솔더 접합부의 접합강도 측면에서는 산업적으로 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Acer tegmentosum which is belongs to Aceraceae has been widely used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of lots of diseases including pain management. In this study, we evaluated the anti-nocicepitve effects of methanolic extract of A. tegmentosum (MAT) in mice using various pain models. MAT presented strong and dose-dependent anti-nociceptive activities on thermal nociception models such as tail-immersion test and hot plate test. Moreover, acetic acid-induced chemical nociception was signigicantly reduced by MAT treatment. We could confirm MAT's central and peripheral analgesic properties by formalin test. We also found that the pre-treatment of opioid receptor antagonist did not alter the MAT's anti-nociception, suggesting opioid receptor is not involved in analgesic activity of MAT. Based on our results, we could conclude that MAT may be possibly used as an anti-nociceptive agent for the treatment of various nociceptive pains.

Super- and sub-critical water treatments have been of interest as novel methods for protein hydrolysis. In the present study, we studied the effect of sub-critical water (Sub-$H_2O$, $300^{\circ}C$, 80 bar) treatment as well as super-critical water (Super-$H_2O$, $400^{\circ}C$, 280 bar) treatment on the physicochemical properties of porcine skin (PS), which has abundant collagen. Porcine skin was subjected to pre-thermal treatment by immersion in water at $70^{\circ}C$, and then treated with sub- or super-critical water. Physicochemical properties of the hydrolysates, such as molecular weight distribution, free amino acid content, amino acid profile, pH, color, and water content were determined. For the molecular weight distribution analysis, 1 kDa hydrolyzed porcine skin (H-PS) was produced by Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. The free amino acid content was 57.18 mM and 30.13 mM after Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatment, respectively. Determination of amino acid profile revealed that the content of Glu (22.5%) and Pro (30%) was higher after Super-$H_2O$ treatment than after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment, whereas the content of Gly (28%) and Ala (13.1%) was higher after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment affected the pH of PS, which changed from 7.29 (Raw) to 9.22 (after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment) and 9.49 (after Super-$H_2O$ treatment). Taken together, these results showed that Sub-$H_2O$ treatment was slightly more effective for hydrolysis than Super-$H_2O$ was. However, both Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatments were effective processing methods for hydrolysis of PS collagen in a short time and can be regarded as a green chemistry technology.

This study investigated the effects of three proteases (trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin) on the hydrolysis efficiency of porcine placenta and the molecular weight (Mw) distributions of the placental hydrolysates. Because placenta was made up of insoluble collagen, the placenta was gelatinized by applying thermal treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ for 1 h and used as the sample. The placental hydrolyzing activities of the enzymes at varying concentrations and incubation times were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Based on the SDS-PAGE, the best placental hydrolysis efficiency was observed in trypsin treatments where all peptide bands disappeared after 1 h of incubation as compared to 6 h of chymotrypsin. Pepsin hardly hydrolyzed the placenta as compared to the other two enzymes. The Mw distribution revealed that the trypsin produced placental peptides with Mw of 106 and 500 Da. Peptides produced by chymotrypsin exhibited broad ranges of Mw distribution (1-20 kDa), while the pepsin treatment showed Mw greater than 7 kDa. For comparisons of pre-treatments, the subcritical water processing (37.5 MPa and $200^{\circ}C$) of raw placenta improved the efficiency of tryptic digestions to a greater level than that of a preheating treatment ($90^{\circ}C$ for 1 h). Consequently, subcritical water processing followed by enzymatic digestions has the potential of an advanced collagen hydrolysis technique.

감열지에 부착된 잠재지문을 현출하는 시약으로 알려진 1,2-indandione/zinc (1,2-IND/Zn) 용액과 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) 용액의 보존기한을 연구하였다. 감열지의 감열면과 비감열면에 출력세기가 동일한 인공잠재지문을 인쇄하여 이를 표준지문으로 사용하였다. 미리 혼합한 1,2-IND/Zn과 PVP 용액으로 표준지문을 처리한 결과, 혼합시약 제조 후 3 일까지는 감열지에 부착된 지문을 성공적으로 현출할 수 있었으나 3 일이 경과하면 감열지 표면에서 흑화현상이 나타나 시약의 성능이 저하되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 미리 혼합하지 않고 별도로 보관한 1,2-IND/Zn 및 PVP 용액을 사용직전에 혼합하여 표준지문에 부착된 잠재지문을 현출한 결과, 시약 제조 후 20 일이 경과하면 시약의 성능이 저하되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 1,2-indandione/zinc 용액과 polyvinylpyrrolidone 혼합용액의 보존기한은 polyvinylpyrrolidone 용액에 의해 결정된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 산소와 수분 중 어느 것이 PVP의 성능저하에 영향을 미치는지 조사한 결과, 산소의 영향은 받지 않으나 수분의 영향을 받아서 시약의 성능이 저하된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

KEPRI has studied planar type SOFC stacks using anode-supported single cells and kW class co-generation systems for residential power generation. A 1kW class SOFC system consisted of a hot box part, a cold BOP part and a water reservoir. A hot box part contains a SOFC stack made up of 48 single cells and ferritic stainless steel interconnectors, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor and heat exchangers. Thermal management and insulation system were especially designed for self-sustainable operation. A cold BOP part was composed of blowers, pumps, a water trap and system control units. When a 1kW class SOFC system was operated at $750^{\circ}C$ with hydrogen after pre-treatment process, the stack power was 1.2kW at 30 A and 1.6kW at 50A. Turning off an electric furnace, the SOFC system was operated using hydrogen and city gas without any external heat source. Under self-sustainable operation conditions, the stack power was about 1.3kW with hydrogen and 1.2kW with city gas respectively. The system also recuperated heat of about 1.1kW by making hot water.
