Miscibility of polysulfone (PSf) with various hydrophilic copolymers was explored. Among these blends, PSf gives homogeneous mixtures with poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-styrene) copolymers [P(VP-S)] when these copolymers contained VP from 68 to 88 wt%. Microporous membranes for the ultrafiltration process were prepared from PSf blends with P(VP-S) copolymers. The membranes prepared from the PSf/(VP-S) blends exhibited higher water flux than the membranes prepared from PSf irrespective of the VP content. The solute rejection examined with the membranes fabricated from the miscible blends was similar to that of PSf membrane. However, the solute rejection examined with the membranes fabricated from the immiscible blends was lower than that of PSf membranes.

큰느타리 버섯의 polyethylene film(PE) 포장 저장성에 미치는 감압예냉(VP) 효과를 조사하였다. VP는 $-1^{\circ}C$에서 품온이 $0^{\circ}C$가 될 때까지 40분간 행하였으며, 1 kg씩 PE포장하여 $-1^{\circ}C$에서 30일간 저장하였다. 저장 중 중량감소율은 예냉처리구에서 다소 낮았다. 저장 4일째까지의 예냉구 포장내 $O_2$ 농도는 2.44-14.50 % /kg-package/hr로 대조구의 2.01-8.19 %/kg-package/hr보다 현저하게 높았으며 저장 4일째까지의 평균 $CO_2$ 농도는 대조구 0.58 %/ kg-package/hr, 예냉구 0.47 g/kg/hr로 예냉구에서는 저장초기에 호흡율이 크게 억제되었다. 대조구에서는 저장 4일째 $CO_2/O_2$값의 peak을 나타낸 반면 예냉구에서는 이러한 현상이 보이지 않았다. 저장중 예냉구는 대조구에 비하여 백색도가 높고 적색 및 황색도가 낮았다. 예냉구는 대조구에 비하여 견고성, 경도 및 씹힘성은 유의적으로 높았으나 탄력성과 점착력은 비숫하였다. 30일간 저장한 경우 대조구에서는 주름 부위가 연화되는 현상이 나타났으나 예냉처리구에서는 이러한 현상들이 현저하게 적었다. 또, 버섯자루의 단면조직을 관찰한 결과 예냉구는 망상으로 된 도관이 선명하게 관찰되었으나 대조구에서는 도관이 연화 또는 붕괴되어 형태가 뚜렷하지 않는 곳이 많았다. 이상의 결과 새송이의 수확 후 감압예냉은 저장중 선도유지에 효과가 있으며 산업적 활용이 기대된다.

Application of vaccine materials through oral mucosal route confers great economical advantage in animal farming industry due to much less vaccination cost compared with that of injection-based vaccination. In particular, oral administration of recombinant protein antigen against foot-and- mouth disease virus (FMDV) is an ideal strategy because it is safe from FMDV transmission during vaccine production and can induce antigen-specific immune response in mucosal compartments, where FMDV infection has been initiated, which is hardly achievable through parenteral immunization. Given that effective delivery of vaccine materials into immune inductive sites is prerequisite for effective oral mucosal vaccination, M cell-targeting strategy is crucial in successful vaccination since M cells are main gateway for luminal antigen influx into mucosal lymphoid tissue. Here, we applied previously identified M cell-targeting ligand Co1 to VP1 of FMDV in order to test the possible oral mucosal vaccination against FMDV infection. M cell-targeting ligand Co1-conjugated VP1 interacted efficiently with M cells of Peyer's patch. In addition, oral administration of ligand-conjugated VP1 enhanced the induction of VP1-specific IgG and IgA responses in systemic and mucosal compartments, respectively, in comparison with those from oral administration of VP1 alone. In addition, the enhanced VP1-specific immune response was found to be due to antigen-specific Th2-type cytokine production. Collectively, it is suggested that the M cell-targeting strategy could be applied to develop efficient oral mucosal vaccine against FMDV infection.

Objective : The purposes of this study are to investigate the factors that may be related to ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in patients with cerebellar hematoma and the effect of severe fourth ventricular hemorrhage, causing obstructive hydrocephalus on subsequent VP shunt performance. Methods : This study included 31 patients with spontaneous cerebellar hematoma and concomitant fourth ventricular hemorrhage, who did not undergo a surgical evacuation of hematoma. We divided this population into two groups; the VP shunt group, and the non-VP shunt group. The demographic data, radiologic findings, and clinical factors were compared in each group. The location of the hematoma (whether occupying the cerebellar hemisphere or the vermis) and the degree of the fourth ventricular obstruction were graded respectively. The intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) score was used to assess the IVH severity. Results : Ten out of 31 patients underwent VP shunt operations. The midline location of cerebellar hematoma, the grade of fourth ventricle obstruction, and IVH severity were significantly correlated with that of VP shunt operation (p=0.015, p=0.013, p=0.028). The significant variables into a logistic regression multivariate model resulted in statistical significance for the location of cerebellar hemorrhage [p=0.05; odds ratio (OR), 8.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.00 to 67.0], the grade of fourth ventricle obstruction (p=0.044; OR, 19.26; 95% CI, 1.07 to 346.6). Conclusion : The location of the cerebellar hematoma on CT scans and the degree of fourth ventricle obstruction by IVH were useful signs for the selection of VP shunt operation in patients with spontaneous cerebellar hematoma and concomitant acute hydrocephalus.

The purpose of simple abdomen erect projection is to see the fluid level which indicates gastrointestinal ileus or free air due to perforation. we do not have to insist on low kVp technique in simple abdomen erect position as long as we can detect the fluid level and free air shadow. Therefore, the author tried to decrease patient dose by high kVp technique and to improve the image quality due to motion artifact by reduction of exposure time. [Methods] Experiment 1. * screen/film SRO1000/HRH * exposure factor : $140\;kvp{\pm}5\;kv$ with added filters, 200 mA, 0.01 sec * phantom : Acryles : 15.0 cm(equivalent to 17 cm body thickness) 17.5 cm(equivalent to 21 cm body thickness) 20.0 cm (equivalent to 25 cm body thickness) With the exposure factor for same film density($D=0.8{\pm}0.1$) and with the materials above, we tried to find out entrance skin dose and gonad dose for both male and female. Experiment 2. Burger's phantom radiography were checked to see whether there was any change of image quality according to the kVp and the added filters. Experiment 3. Using rotating meter(self made), we examined the motion artifact and the exposure time limitation. [Results and conculution] 1. Using high voltage technique of 140 kVp with added filter, Skin dose, testicle dose and ovary dose decrease to 89.3%, 47% and 71.4% respectively compare to 70 kVp technique, 2. No great changes of Burger's phantom image has detected as from 70 kVp to 140 kVp and the air hole size of Burger's phantom over 0.028 cc(Diameter 3 mm, hight 4 mm) can be distinghished. 3. 0.01 sec(1 pulse) exposure time is possible in the single phase full wave rectification that why we can quitely reduce the unsharness caused by patient's movement.

본 연구는 척추경 나사못(Pedicle screw)을 돼지 흉추에 삽입하여 일반적인 CT검사(Non MAR)와 인공물을 줄이기 위한 금속성 인공물 감소기법(Metallic Artifact Reduction for Orthopedic Implants, O-MAR)으로 얻어진 흉추 Axial영상을 4개의 알고리즘(Standard, Soft, Bone, Detail)에 재구성하였다. 이에 얻은 영상을 image J 프로그램을 이용하여 신호대잡음비(Signal Noise Ratio, SNR)와 대조도대잡음비(Contrast to Noise Ratio, CNR)를 주어진 식에 의거하여 측정값을 구하고 흉추 척추경 나사못 삽입술 CT검사에 맞는 관전압과 알고리즘을 알아보고자 하였다. 결과적으로 Non MAR 사용한 경우에는 80, 100, 120, 140 kVp에서 soft 알고리즘이 SNR, CNR이 가장 높게 나타났다. 반면에 MAR를 사용한 경우 80 kVp에서는 Standard 알고리즘이 가장 높게 나타났고 100 kVp에서는 Standard, Soft 알고리즘이 비슷한 값으로 높게 나타났다. 120 kVp에서는 Soft, Standard 알고리즘이 비슷한 값으로 나타났고 140 kVp에서는 Soft 알고리즘에서 SNR, CNR이 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 Non MAR와 MAR를 비교했을 경우 MAR를 사용한다고 하더라도 관전압 변화에 따라 모든 알고리즘에서 SNR과 CNR이 증가하는 것은 아니었다. 본 연구는 이후 척추경 나사못 CT검사 영상 평가에 도움이 되는 기초자료로써 선택적인 관전압과 알고리즘 사용으로 영상의 질을 더 높일 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Vertebroplasty (VP) can effectively treat pain and immobility caused by vertebral compression fracture. Because of complications such as extravasation of bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) and adjacent vertebral fractures, some practitioners prefer to inject a small volume of PMMA. In that case, however, insufficient augmentation or a subsequent refracture of the treated vertebrae can occur. A 65-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of unrelieved severe low back and bilateral flank pain even after she had undergone VP on the $1^{st}$ and $4^{th}$ (L1 and L4) lumbar vertebrae a month earlier. Radiologic findings showed the refracture of L1. We successfully performed the repeat VP by filling the vertebra with a sufficient volume of PMMA, and no complications occurred. The patient's pain and immobility resolved completely three days after the procedure and she remained symptom-free a month later. In conclusion, VP with small volume cement impaction may fail to relieve fracture-induced symptoms, and the refracture of an augmented vertebral body may occur. In this case, repeat VP can effectively resolve both the persistent symptoms and problems of new onset resulting from refracture of the augmented vertebral body due to insufficient volume of bone cement.

The surface functionalization of a fluoropolymer by ion beam-induced graft polymerization was described in this research. The surface of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) films were irradiated by a 150 keV $H^+$ ions, and 4-vinyl pyridine (4VP) as a functional monomer was then thermally graft polymerized on the irradiated surface. The surface properties of poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP)-grafted PTFE films were investigated in terms of grafting degree, wettability, chemical structure, and morphology. The results revealed that the surface of PTFE films was successfully functionalized by ion beam-induced graft polymerization of 4VP.

지지체 TiO₂가 다른 VOx/TiO₂ 촉매들에 대해 특성 분석과 SCR 반응을 수행하였다. Sigma Aldrich 사의 anatase TiO₂와 TiOCl₂와 TTIP를 출발 원료로 제조한 TiO₂를 사용하여 VOx/TiO₂ 촉매를 제조하고, 이를 각각 VS, VC, VP로 표시하였다. VS 시료의 비표면적은 VC 및 VP 시료 대비 1/10 이하로서 바나듐 산화물의 분산성은 상대적으로 낮았다. XPS 분석 결과, 촉매 표면의 흡착 산소의 비는 Ti³⁺가 존재하는 VS와 VP 시료가 VC 시료에 비해 높았다. 또한 VC와 VP시료에서 바나듐은 바나듐 산화물의 분산성과 관련하여 주로 V⁴⁺와 V³⁺ 상태로 존재하였다. 250 ℃ 이하 NH₃-SCR 활성에는 바나듐 산화물의 분산성보다는 흡착 산소 양이 더 기여한 반면, 300 ℃ 이상 활성에는 바나듐 산화물의 분산성이 더 기여하는 것으로 판단되었다. 촉매들의 fast SCR 활성은 3 시료 모두 NO₂/NOx = 0.5에서 가장 높았으며, VS < VC < VP 시료 순으로 나타났다. 빠른 NH₃-SCR 촉매 활성에는 촉매의 바나듐 산화물의 분산성이 영향을 크게 미친다고 판단되었다.
