본 연구에서는 상용성이 개선된 접착 증진제를 개발하기 위해 malenized polybutadiene과 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate(HEA)의 반응을 통해 다양한 함량의 아크릴레이트 반응기와 carboxylic acid가 도입된 접착 증진제(PBCA)를 합성하였다. 합성된 접착 증진제는 maleic anhydride의 개환 반응을 통해 도입된 아크릴레이트 반응기와 carboxylic acid의 함량, 그리고 접착 증진제의 첨가량을 달리하여 접착 필름을 제조하고 제조된 접착 필름의 표면 특성, 접착력 등의 기계적 특성과 흡습 특성 등의 변화를 확인하였다. 접착 증진제의 분자 내에 도입된 carboxylic acid의 함량이 증가할수록 접착 필름의 접착력은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 기존의 상용화된 접착 증진제와 비교하여 기계적 물성 또한 개선됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 분자 내에 소수성의 폴리부타디엔 주쇄와 친수성의 maleic anhydride 및 carboxylic acid가 동시에 존재함으로 인해 다양한 친수성 및 소수성 재료와의 상용성이 대폭 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

폴리카프로락톤디올을 디이소시아네이트와 반응하여 우레탄 아크릴레이트를 합성하였고 부틸 아크릴레이트 혹은 부착증진제를 배합하여 그 물성을 조사하였다. 이소포론 디이소시아네이트를 사용한 자외선 경화형 수지에 부틸 아크릴레이트를 일정성분비로 첨가하여 경화 시 수축현상 개선의 정도를 조사해 본 결과 부틸 아크릴레이트의 함량이 15 wt%일 때가 가장 좋은 물성을 발현하였다. 자외선 경화형 수지의 부착력을 증진시키기 위해 2-에틸 헥실 아크릴레이트와 에틸 아크릴레이트를 $85^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 합성하여 부착증진제를 얻었으며 이를 자외선 경화형 수지에 일정성분비로 첨가하여 물성을 확인해 보았다. 부착증진제의 함량이 높아질수록 부착력이 증가하였지만 15 wt% 이후로는 연성의 성질이 지나치게 강하여 오히려 부착력이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 아연 코팅 스틸코드와 접착증진제가 적용된 배합고무와의 접착 특성을 연구하였다. 접착증진제로는 cobalt boroacylate (코발트 염), resorcinol-formaldehyde resin (RF resin) 그리고 hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM)을 사용하였다. 코발트 염이 첨가된 배합고무에서는 코발트 염이 아연 코팅 스틸코드 표면에서 아연 황화물 성장을 촉진시켜 코발트 염이 포함되지 않은 배합고에 비하여 pullout force가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 코발트 염, RF resin과 HMMM을 모두 적용한 배합고무의 경우, 코발트 염은 아연 황화물 성장을 촉진시키고, RF resin과 HMMM은 배합고무의 modulus를 높여 고무 matrix로 성장한 아연 황화물을 더 강하게 interlocking하기 때문에 pullout force와 스틸코드의 고무 부착율이 가장 높게 나타난다는 것을 확인하였다.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Several environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors have been suggested to have a role in GC development. Epigenetic mechanisms like histone changes and promoter hyper-methylation are now being increasingly studied. Associations between methylation of many gene promoters with the risk of gastric cancer have been investigated worldwide. Such aberrant methylation may result in silencing of specific genes related to cell cycling, cell adhesion, apoptosis and DNA repair. Thus this molecular mechanism might have a key role in proliferation and migration of cancerous cells. Materials and Methods: In this review article we included studies conducted on DNA methylation and gastric cancer in Iranian populations. Using Science direct, Pubmed/PMC, Springer, Wiley online library and SciELO databases, all published data until 31 January 2016 were gathered. We also searched Science direct data base for similar investigations around the world to make a comparison between Iran and other countries. Results: By searching these databases, we found that the association between methylation of seven gene promoters and gastric cancer had been studied in Iran until 31 January 2016. These genes were p16, hLMH1, E-cadherin, CTLA4, $THR{\beta}$, mir9 and APC. Searching in science direct database also showed that 92 articles had been published around the world till January 2016. Our investigation revealed that despite the importance of GC and its high prevalence in Iran, the methylation status of only a few gene promoters has been studied so far. More studies with higher sample numbers are needed to reveal the relation of methylation status of gene promoters to gastric cancer in Iran. Conclusions: Further studies will be helpful in identifying associations of DNA methylation in candidate genes with gastric cancer risk in Iranian populations.

Cu(400$\AA$)/Polyimide has been mixed with 80 keV Ar+ and N2+from 1.0X1015ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 2.0X1016 ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The changes of chemical bond and internal properties of sample are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The quantitative adhesion strength is measured by using scratch test. The optimized mixing condition is that Cu/PI is irradiated with 80 keV N2+ at a dose of 1.0X1015 ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$, because N2+ ions can product more pyridine-like moiety, amide group, and tertiary amine moiety which are known as adesion promoters than Ar+.

Weight reduction while maintaining functional requirements is one of the major goals in the automotive industry. The use of lightweight magnesium alloys offers great potential for reducing weight because of the low density of these alloys. However, the formability and the surface quality of the final magnesium alloy product for auto-body structures are not acceptable without a careful optimization of the design parameters. In order to overcome some of the main formability limitations in the stamping of magnesium alloys, a new approach, the so-called "hybrid technology", has been recently proposed for body-in-white structural components. Within this approach, necessary level of mechanical joining can be obtained through the use of lightweight material-steel adhesion promoters. This paper presents the development process of an automotive hybrid hood assembly using magnesium alloy sheets. In the first set of material pairs, the selected materials are magnesium alloy AZ31B alloy and steel(SGCEN) as inner and outer panels, respectively. In order to optimize the design of the inner panel, the stamping process was analyzed with the finite element method (FEM). Laser welding by CW Nd:YAG were used to join the magnesium alloy sheets. Based on the simulation results and mechanical test results of the joints, the determination of die design variables and their influence on formability were discussed. Furthermore, a prototype based on the proposed design was manufactured and the static stiffness test was carried out. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed hybrid hood with a weight reduction of 25.7%.

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), transactivator of transcription (Tat), is one of the viral gene products that is essential for HIV-1 replication. The HIV-l Tat protein regulates transcription from an HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) and affects the gene expression of cellular proteins during infection. In order to develop an expression system to overexpress and simply purify HIV-1 Tat proteins, the HIV-1 Tat coding sequences that contain one or two exons were amplified using PCR and cloned into a pET vector, which contains a consecutive stretch of six histidine residues at the amino-terminus. The reconstituted vectors were overexpressed in the E. coli strain and the soluble recombinant proteins were purified to be homogeneity in a single step by $Ni^{+2}-nitrilotriacetic$ acid Sepharose chromatography under nondenaturing conditions. Recombinant HIV-1 Tat proteins were shown to transactivate the HIV-1 LTR promoter in a dose-dependent manner when introduced into mammalian cells. In addition, treatment of human endothelial cells with purified Tat proteins resulted in a significant increase in the level of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression. These results indicate that the recombinant HIV-1 Tat proteins are active in transactivating viral and cellular promoters. The expression and purification system described in this study will facilitate in characterizing the biological functions of the Tat proteins.

The shortage of human organs for transplantation has induced the research on the possibility of using animal as porcine. However, pig to human transplantation as known as xeno-transplantation has major problem as immunorejection. Recently, the solutions of pig to human xenotransplantation are commonly mentioned as having a genetically modification which include alpha 1, 3 galatosyl transferase knockout (GTKO) and immune-suppressing gene transgenic model. Unfortunately, the expression level of transgenic gene is very low activity. Therefore, development of gene overexpression system is the most urgent issue. Also, the tissue specific overexpression system is very important. Because most blood vessels are endothelial cells, establishment of the endothelial-specific promoter is attractive candidates for the introduction of suppressing immunorejection. In this study, we focus the ICAM2 promoter which has endothelial-specific regulatory region. To detect the regulatory region of ICAM2 promoter, we cloned 3.7 kb size mini-pig ICAM2 promoter. We conduct serial deletion of 5' flanking region of mini-pig ICAM2 promoter then selected promoter size as 1 kb, 1.5 kb, 2 kb, 2.5 kb, and 3 kb. To analyze promoter activity, luciferase assay system was conducted among these vectors and compare endothelial activity with epithelial cells. The reporter gene assay revealed that ICAM2 promoter has critical activity in endothelial cells (CPAE) and 1 kb size of ICAM2 promoter activity was significantly increased. Taken together, our studies suggest that mini-pig ICMA2 promoter is endothelial cell specific overexpression promoter and among above all size of promoters, 1 kb size promoter is optimal candidate to overcome the vascular immunorejection in pig to human xenotransplantation.
