지구온난화는 급격한 기후변화 및 자연재해를 발생시키고 있어 세계에서 가장 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 각국에서는 이산화탄소 배출 저감, 재생에너지 비중 확대 등의 정책을 대폭적으로 추진하면서 재생에너지에 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이중 태양광 발전은 기존의 도시 외곽의 유휴부지 뿐만 아니라 BIPV와 같이 도심지 내에 적용연구가 수행되고 있으며, 선진국에서는 도로에 태양광 발전을 적용하기 위한 실증시설 조성이 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태양광 발전이 가능한 도로 건설을 위해, 태양광 패널과 프리캐스트 콘크리트 블록을 모듈화 하기 위한 구조요소 설계와 시험시공을 수행하였다. 시공 후 6개월간 현장 적용성 평가를 위하여 미끄럼 저항성 및 블록의 침하량과 단차를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 미끄럼 저항성은 국내 일반도로의 기준은 만족하였으나, 고속도로의 기준은 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 미끄럼 저하성이 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 블록의 침하량도 점차 미소하게 증가하는 경향을 보여 일부 단차가 발생하는 것으로 확인되었으나 도로의 허용 침하량을 고려하여 볼 때 매우 미소한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이후 일정기간 동안 추후 변화양상을 조사 분석함으로서 유지관리 기법의 확립이 요구된다.

To study the evolution mechanism of cracks in rocks with multiple defects, rock-like samples with multiple defects, such as strip-shaped through-going cracks and cavity groups, are used, and the crack propagation law and changes in AE (acoustic emission) and strain of cavity groups under different inclination angles are studied. According to the test results, an increase in the cavity group inclination angle can facilitate the initial damage degree of the rock and weaken the crack initiation stress; the initial crack initiation direction is approximately 90°, and the extension angle is approximately 75~90° from the strip-shaped through-going cracks; thus, the relationship between crack development and cavity group initiation strengthens. The specific performance is as follows: when the initiation angle is 30°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group develop relatively independently along the parallel direction of the external load; when the angle is 75°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group can interpenetrate, and slip can occur along the inclination of the cavity group under the action of the shear mechanism rupture. With the increase in the inclination angle of the cavity group, the AE energy fluctuation frequency at the peak stress increases, and the stress drop is obvious. The larger the cavity group inclination angle is, the more obvious the energy accumulation and the more severe the rock damage; when the cavity group angle is 30° or 75°, the peak strain of the local area below the strip-shaped through-going fracture plane is approximately three times that when the cavity group angle is 45° and 60°, indicating that cracks are easily generated in the local area monitored by the strain gauge at this angle, and the further development of the cracks weakens the strength of the rock, thereby increasing the probability of major engineering quality damage. The research results will have important reference value for hazard prevention in underground engineering projects through rock with natural and artificial defects, including tunnels and air-raid shelters.

Background: Indoor air pollutants are caused by a number of factors, such as coming in from the outside or being generated by internal activities. Typical indoor air pollutants include nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide from household items such as heating appliances and volatile organic compounds from building materials. In addition there is carbon dioxide from human breathing and bacteria from speaking, coughing, and sneezing. Objectives: According to recent research results, most indoor air pollution is known to be greatly affected by internal factors such as burning (biomass for cooking) and various pollutants. These pollutants can have a fatal effect on the human body due to a lack of ventilation facilities. Methods: We fabricated a polydopamine (PDA) layer with Ti substrates as a coating on supported glass fiber fabric to enhance its photo-activity. The PDA layer with TiO₂ was covalently attached to glass fiber fabric using the drop-casting method. The roughness and functional groups of the surface of the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric were verified through infrared imaging microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The obtained hybrid Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric was investigated for photocatalytic activity by the removal of ammonia and an epidermal Staphylococcus aureus reduction test with lamp (250 nm, 405 nm wavelength) at 24℃. Results: Antibacterial properties were found to reduce epidermal staphylococcus aureus in the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric under 405 nm after three hours. In addition, the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric of VOC reduction rate for ammonia was 50% under 405 nm after 30 min. Conclusions: An electron-hole pair due to photoexcitation is generated in the PDA layer and transferred to the conduction band of TiO₂. This generates a superoxide radical that degrades ammonia and removes epidermal Staphylococcus aureus.

This study compared the solubility, water absorption, dimensional stability, release of various ions (hydroxyl, calcium, sulfur, strontium, and silicon), and cytotoxicity of light-cured resin-modified pulp-capping materials. Resin-modified calcium hydroxide (Ultra-blend^TM plus, UBP), light-cured resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal LC^TM, TLC), and dual-cure resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal PT^TM, TPT) were used. Each material was polymerized; solubility, 24-hour water absorption, and 30- day dimensional stability experiments were conducted to test its physical properties. Solubility was assessed according to the ISO 6876 standard, and 24 hours of water absorption, 30 days of dimensional stability were assessed by referring to the previous protocol respectively. Eluates at 3 and 24 hours and on 7, 14, and 28 days were analyzed according to the ISO 10993-12 standard. And the pH, Ion-releasing ability, cell proliferation rate, and cell viability were assessed using the eluates to evaluate biochemical characteristics. pH was measured with a pH meter and Ion-releasing ability was assessed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Cell proliferation rate and cell viability were assessed using human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). The former was assessed by an absorbance assay using the CCK-8 solution, and the latter was assessed by Live and Dead staining. TPT exhibited lower solubility and water absorption than TLC. UBP and TPT demonstrated higher stability than TLC. The release of sulfur, strontium, calcium, and hydroxyl ions was higher for TLC and TPT than for UBP. The 28-day release of hydroxyl and silicon ions was similar for TLC and TPT. TLC alone exhibited a lower cell proliferation rate compared to the control group at a dilution ratio of 1 : 2 in cell proliferation and dead cells from Live and Dead assay evaluation. Thus, when using light-cure resin-modified pulp-capping materials, calcium silicate-based materials can be considered alternatives to calcium hydroxide-based materials. Moreover, when comparing physical and biochemical properties, TPT could be prioritized over TLC as the first choice.

부갑상선은 부갑상선 호르몬(parathyroid hormone; 이하 PTH)을 생성하여 칼슘 대사를 조절하는 작은 내분비선으로 구성되어 있다. 일반적으로 갑상선 뒤에 4개의 부갑상선이 위치해 있으나 개수 또는 위치는 개인차가 있으며 4개보다 많거나 적은 경우들이 있다. 부갑상선 질환은 부갑상선 기능 장애와 관련이 있으며, 부갑상선 자체의 문제 또는 신장질환으로 인한 비정상적인 혈청 칼슘 수치로 인해 발생할 수 있다. 최근 건강검진이 보편화되면서 우연히 비정상적으로 높은 혈청 칼슘 값이 발견되어 PTH 검사, 초음파, 테크네튬-99m 세스타 미비 부갑상선 스캔, 단일광자방출단층촬영/컴퓨터단층촬영(SPECT/CT), 4차원 컴퓨터단층촬영(4D-CT), 그리고 양전자방출단층촬영/컴퓨터단층촬영(PET/CT) 등의 추가적인 검사가 시행된다. 그러나 부갑상선은 여전히 영상의학과 의사에게 익숙하지 않은 기관이다. 이 종설에서 부갑상선의 해부학, 병태생리, 영상 및 임상 소견에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

The objective of this study was to analyze the in vitro and in vivo corrosion products of low and high copper amalgams. The four different types of amalgam alloy used in this study were Fine cut, Caulk spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin. After each amalgam alloy and Hg were triturated according to the directions of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator(Amalgam mixer. Shinhung Co. Korea), the triturated mass was inserted into a cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10mm in height. The mass was condensed by 150Kg/cm compressive force. The specimen was removed from the mold and aged at room temperature for about seven days. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out by emery paper polishing under running water. In vitro amalgam specimens were potentiostatically polarized ten times in a normal saline solution at $37^{\circ}C$(potentiostat : HA-301. Hukuto Denko Corp. Japan). Each specimen was subjected to anodic polarization scan within the potential range -1700mV to+400mV(SCE). After corrosion tests, anodic polarization curves and corrosion potentials were obtained. The amount of component elements dissolved from amalgams into solution was measured three times by ICP AES(Inductive Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Plasma 40. Perkim Elmer Co. U.S.A.). The four different types of amalgam were filled in occlusal and buccal class I cavities of four human 3rd molars. After about five years the restorations were carefully removed after tooth extraction to preserve the structural details including the deteriorated margins. The occlusal surface, amalgam-tooth interface and the fractured surface of in vivo amalgam corrosion products were analyzed. In vivo and in vitro amalgam specimens were examined and analyzed metallographically by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan) and EDAX(Energy Dispersive Micro X-ray Analyser: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan). 1. The following results are obtained from in vitro corrosion tests. 1) Corrosion potentials of all amalgams became more noble after ten times passing through the in vitro corrosion test compared to first time. 2) After times through the test, released Cu concentration in saline solution was almost equal but highest in Fine cut. Ag and Hg ion concentration was highest in Caulk spherical and Sn was highest in Dispersalloy. 3) Analyses of surface corrosion products in vitro reveal the following results. a)The corroded surface of Caulk spherical has Na-Sn-Cl containing clusters of $5{\mu}m$ needle-like crystals and oval shapes of Sn-Cl phase, polyhedral Sn oxide phase. b)In Fine cut, there appeared to be a large Sn containing phase, surrounded by many Cu-Sn phases of $1{\mu}m$ granular shapes. c)Dispersalloy was covered by a thick reticular layer which contained Zn-Cl phase. d)In Tytin, a very thin, corroded layer had formed with irregularly growing Sn-Cl phases that looked like a stack of plates. 2. The following results are obtained by an analysis of in vivo amalgam corrosion products. 1) Occlusal surfaces of all amalgams were covered by thick amorphous layers containing Ca-P elements which were abraded by occlusal force. 2) In tooth-amalgam interface, Ca-P containing products were examined in all amalgams but were most clearly seen in low copper amalgams. 3) Sn oxide appeared as a polyhedral shape in internal space in Caulk spherical and Fine cut. 4) Apical pyramidal shaped Sn oxide and curved plate-like Sn-Cl phases resulted in Dispersalloy. 5) In Tytin, Sn oxide and Sn hydroxide were not seen but polyhedral Ag-Hg phase crystal appeared in internal space which assumed a ${\beta}_l$ phase.

국제해사기구에서는 선박 배기가스 내 질소산화물($NO_x$) 배출에 대한 강화된 Tier III 규제가 2016년부터 적용됨에 따라 이를 대응하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. $NO_x$ 저감 방법으로 선택적 촉매 환원법(Selective catalytic reduction, SCR)을 주로 사용하고 있으며, 세라믹 허니컴 촉매를 주로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 세라믹 허니컴 촉매는 약한 강도로 인하여 운전상 문제가 발생하거나 유지 및 보수에 있어서도 어려움을 갖는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 허니컴 촉매의 단점들을 보완하기 위하여 높은 열적 안정성과 기계적 강도를 가짐과 동시에 배기가스의 다방향성 이동을 통한 낮은 배압효과 등의 장점을 가지는 금속 지지체를 적용하였다. 이러한 금속 지지체 상에 촉매를 담지하기 위하여 유 무기바인더 첨가를 통해 코팅슬러리를 제조하고, 이를 코팅, 건조 및 소성과정을 통해 금속 지지체 상에 견고하게 부착된 금속 지지체 기반 촉매를 제조하였다. 이러한 금속 지지체 기반 촉매는 $NO_x$ 성능평가와 초음파 및 낙하시험을 통한 접착 내구성 평가를 수행하였다. 특히, 무기바인더를 첨가한 MFC01경우 95% 이상의 $NO_x$ 전환율을 보였으며, 상용 세라믹 허니컴 촉매보다도 우수한 내구성을 보였다. 이러한 특성 및 성능평가를 통하여 개발된 금속 지지체 기반 촉매는 고효율, 고내구성을 가짐을 확인하였으며, 기존 세라믹 허니컴 촉매를 대체할 수 있는 선박용 배연탈질 촉매로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this ex vivo study was to compare the antifungal activity of a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids at the C-terminus of human ${\beta}$-defensin 3 (HBD3-C15) with calcium hydroxide (CH) and Nystatin (Nys) against Candida albicans (C. albicans) biofilm. Materials and Methods: C. albicans were grown on cover glass bottom dishes or human dentin disks for 48 hr, and then treated with HBD3-C15 (0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, and $300{\mu}g/mL$), CH ($100{\mu}g/mL$), and Nys ($20{\mu}g/mL$) for 7 days at $37^{\circ}C$. On cover glass, live and dead cells in the biomass were measured by the FilmTracer Biofilm viability assay, and observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). On dentin, normal, diminished and ruptured cells were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The results were subjected to a two-tailed t-test, a one way analysis variance and a post hoc test at a significance level of p = 0.05. Results: C. albicans survival on dentin was inhibited by HBD3-C15 in a dose-dependent manner. There were fewer aggregations of C. albicans in the groups of Nys and HBD3-C15 (${\geq}100{\mu}g/mL$). CLSM showed C. albicans survival was reduced by HBD3-C15 in a dose dependent manner. Nys and HBD3-C15 (${\geq}100{\mu}g/mL$) showed significant fungicidal activity compared to CH group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Synthetic HBD3-C15 peptide (${\geq}100{\mu}g/mL$) and Nys exhibited significantly higher antifungal activity than CH against C. albicans by inhibiting cell survival and biofilm.
