Environmental agents, including viral and bacterial infectious agents, are involved in the alteration of physicochemical and biological parameters in the nasal epithelium. Hyaluronan (HA) has an important role in the regulation of tissue healing properties. High molecular weight HA (HMW-HA) shows greater anti-inflammatory responses than medium molecular weight HA (MMW-HA) and low molecular weight HA (LMW-HA). We investigated the effect of HMW-HA, MMW-HA and LMW-HA on the regulation of physicochemical and biological parameters in an "in vitro" model that might mimic viral infections of the nasal epithelium. Human nasal epithelial cell line RPMI2650 was stimulated with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) Poly(I:C) for 5 days in air-liquid-interface (ALI) culture (3D model of airway tissue). dsRNA Poly(I:C) treatment significantly decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) in the stratified nasal epithelium of RPMI2650 and increased pH values, rheological parameters (elastic G' and viscous G''), and Muc5AC and Muc5B production in the apical wash of ALI culture of RPMI2650 in comparison to untreated cells. RPMI2650 treated with dsRNA Poly(I:C) in the presence of HMW-HA showed lower pH values, Muc5AC and Muc5B production, and rheological parameters, as well as increased TEER values in ALI culture, compared to cells treated with Poly(I:C) alone or pretreated with LMW-HA and MMW-HA. Our 3D "in vitro" model of epithelium suggests that HMW-HA might be a coadjuvant in the pharmacological treatment of viral infections, allowing for the control of some physicochemical and biological properties affecting the epithelial barrier of the nose during infection.

Listeria sp. is one of the pathogenic bacteria causes the infection listeriosis, through mainly raw food such as fishery food, dairy food and vegetables. Listeria sp. is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, motile, and facultative anaerobic bacterium. Because of the tolerance of Listeria sp. to low temperature and high salt concentration, it is very difficult to prevent them contaminated in the food, which do not require heating, especially, such as raw fishery products. So prevention and removal of bacterial contamination at the food manufacturing stage is the best method. In this study, therefore, several natural products including Psidium guajava and Geranium thunbergii were screened to investigate the antibacterial activity against Listeria sp., with expectation of fewer side effects and fewer resistance problems. Significant effects of two extracts were confirmed by well diffusion assay, MIC assay, and growth inhibition assay. P. guajava and G. thunbergii showed MIC values at 64-256 ㎍/mL meaning strong antibacterial activities against 6 kind of Listeria sp. tested. And the growth of Listeria sp. in the liquid media was actually inhibited by the addition of these two extracts.

Background: Most northeast Thai vegetables may play roles in human health by acting as antioxidant and anticancer agents. Recent study showed that Cratoxylum formosum subsp. pruniflorum (Kurz.) Gogel. (Teawdang) could inhibit growth of liver cancer cell lines. Cervical cancer, which has human papilloma virus as its main cause, is found at high incidence in Thailand. Due to increasing drug resistance, searches for potential anticancer compounds from natural source are required. Therefore, our purpose was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Teawdang extracts in cervical cancer cell lines. Materials and Methods: Teawdang edible parts, purchased from Khon Kaen market during July-October 2013 was extracted with organic solvent. Phenolic profiles of crude hexane (CHE), ethyl acetate (CEE), methanol (CME) and water (CWE) extracts were performed by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) techniques. Their cytotoxic effects on cervical cancer cells were investigated with HPV-non infected (C-33A) and HPV-infected (HeLa and SiHa) cell lines. Results: HPLC profiles showed that all crude extracts contained caffeine, ferulic acid and resveratrol. CME and CEE had high contents of gallic acid and quercetin. Catechin was found only in CWE. Cytotoxicity test showed that CEE had the lowest IC50 on HeLa ($143.18{\pm}13.35 {\mu}g/mL$) and SiHa cells ($106.45{\pm}15.73{\mu}g/mL$). C-33A cells were inhibited by CWE ($IC50=130.95{\pm}3.83{\mu}g/mL$). Conclusions: There were several phenolic compounds in Teawdang extracts which may have cytotoxic effects on cervical cancer cell lines. Investigation of these bioactive compounds as new sources of anticancer agents is recommended.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be regarded as a special variation of the chemical vapor deposition method for reducing film thickness. ALD is based on sequential self-limiting reactions from the gas phase to produce thin films and over-layers in the nanometer scale with perfect conformality and process controllability. These characteristics make ALD an important film deposition technique for nanoelectronics. Tantalum pentoxide ($Ta_2O_5$) has a number of applications in optics and electronics due to its superior properties, such as thermal and chemical stability, high refractive index (>2.0), low absorption in near-UV to IR regions, and high-k. In particular, the dielectric constant of amorphous $Ta_2O_5$ is typically close to 25. Accordingly, $Ta_2O_5$ has been extensively studied in various electronics such as metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (FET), organic FET, dynamic random access memories (RAM), resistance RAM, etc. In this experiment, the variations of chemical and interfacial state during the growth of $Ta_2O_5$ films on the Si substrate by ALD was investigated using in-situ synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. A newly synthesized liquid precursor $Ta(N^tBu)(dmamp)_2$ Me was used as the metal precursor, with Ar as a purging gas and $H_2O$ as the oxidant source. The core-level spectra of Si 2p, Ta 4f, and O 1s revealed that Ta suboxide and Si dioxide were formed at the initial stages of $Ta_2O_5$ growth. However, the Ta suboxide states almost disappeared as the ALD cycles progressed. Consequently, the $Ta^{5+}$ state, which corresponds with the stoichiometric $Ta_2O_5$, only appeared after 4.0 cycles. Additionally, tantalum silicide was not detected at the interfacial states between $Ta_2O_5$ and Si. The measured valence band offset value between $Ta_2O_5$ and the Si substrate was 3.08 eV after 2.5 cycles.

비허용온도인 $37^{\circ}C$에서 삼투감수성을 보이며 베타-1,3-글루칸 합성능이 현저히 손상된 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant(LP353)를 YCp50으로 제조한 yeast genomic library로 형질전환시킨 후, 콜로니 자기방사법으로 형질전환체의 선별을 시도한 결과, LP353의 베타-1,3-글루칸 합성능을 부분적으로 회복시켜 주는 약 8.5-kb 크기의 DNA 절편을 클로닝하는데 성공하였다. 클로닝된 8.5-kb의 DNA 절편은 copy 수에 무관하게 LP353의 또 다른 표현형질인 온도의존적 삼투감수성은 회복시켜 주지 못하였으나, 세포벽의 베타-1,3-글루칸 함량과 베타-1,3-글루칸 분해효소인 ${\beta}-glucanase$에 대한 내성은 copy수에 무관하게 증가시켜 주었다. 한편, 8.5-kb의 DNA 절편은 $37^{\circ}C$의 삼투안정제가 첨가된 액체배지에서 잘 자라지 못하는 LP353의 돌연변이 형질을 회복시켜 야생형의 수준에 근접하는 생장양상을 보여 주었다. 이상의 결과로 클로닝된 8.5-kb 크기의 DNA 절편은 S. cerevisiae의 베타-1,3-글루칸 생합성에 관여하는 유전자의 하나인 BGS2를 포함하고 있는 것으로 보여지며, subcloning을 통한 기능부위 분석 결과, 4.8-kb 크기의 BglII-KpnI DNA 절편에 BGS2가 존재하는 것으로 추정되었다.

Statement of problem. Wear as a result of repeated closing/opening cycles may decrease the friction coefficient of screw head, threads, and other mating components and, consequently, resistance to opening gradually decreases. It may cause screw loosening, which is one of the most common failures in implant prosthesis. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes on the head and thread surface of the abutment screws after repeated closing and opening through the examination of tested screws in SEM(scanning electron microscope). Materials and methods. Five species of abutments were selected (3i-three, Avana-two) respectively by two pieces. The implant fixtures were perpendicularly mounted in liquid unsaturated polyesther(Epovia, Cray Valley Inc.) with dental surveyor. Each abutment was secured to the implant fixture by each abutment screw with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller. The abutment screws were repeatedly tightened and removed 20 times with a digital controller. FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscope, Netherland, Phillips co., model:XL 30 SFEG) was used to observe changes of each part caused by repeatedly closing/opening expeiment. First, the Photomicrographs of pre-test screws provided by each manufacturer were taken. The changes of each screw were investigated after every fifth closing and opening experiment with FESEM. Scaning electron microscope photomicrographs of each screw were taken four times. Results. As the number of closing and opening was increased, the wear or distortion of hexed or squared slot that contacted with the driver tip was more severely progressed. Wear or distortion of hexed slot was more severe than that of squared slot and it was more remarkable in the titanium screw than in the gold screw. All the tested screws showed that the width in the crest of their screw thread decreased gradually as the test was proceeded. Conclusions. Conclusively, we recommend the clinical use of gold screw, a periodic exchanges of abutment screws and avoiding repeated closing/opening unnecessarily. We also suggest a more careful manipulation of the abutment screw and screw-driver and using of abutment screw with an acute-angled slot design rather than an obtuse-angled one. Finally, it is suggested that the new slot design and the surface treatment for enduring wear or distortion should be devised.

Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs or amorphous alloy) exhibit high strength and good corrosion resistance. Applications of thin films and micro parts of BMGs have been used a lot since its inception in the research of BMGs. However, Application and fabrication of BMGs are limited to make structural materials. Thin films of BMGs which is sputtered on the surface of structural materials by sputtering process is used to improve limits about application of BMGs. In order to investigate the difference of properties between designed alloys and thin films, we identified that thin films deposited on the surface that have the characteristic of the amorphous films and the composition of designed alloys. Zr-Cu (Cu=30, 35, 38, 40, 50 at.%) and Zr-Cu-Al (Al=10 at.% fixed, Cu=26, 30, 34, 38 at.%) alloys were fabricated with Zr (99.7% purity), Cu (99.997% purity), and Al (99.99% purity) as melting 5 times by arc melting method before rods 2mm in diameter was manufactured. In order to analyze GFA (Glass Forming Ability), rods were observed by Optical Microscopy and SEM and $T_g$, $T_x$, ($T_x$ is crystallization temperature and $T_g$ is the glass transition temperature) and Tm were measured by DTA and DSC. Powder was manufactured by Gas Atomizer and target was sintered using powder in large supercooled liquid region ($=T_x-T_g$) by SPS(Spark Plasma Sintering). Amorphous foil was prepared by RSP process with 5 gram alloy button. The composition of the foil and sputtered thin film was analyzed by EDS and EPMA. In the result of DSC curve, binary alloys ($Zr_{62}Cu_{38}$, $Zr_{60}Cu_{40}$, $Zr_{50}Cu_{50}$) and ternary alloys ($Zr_{64}Al_{10}Cu_{26}$, $Zr_{56}Al_{10}Cu_{34}$, $Zr_{52}Al_{10}Cu_{38}$) have $T_g$ except for $Zr_{70}Cu_{30}$ and $Zr_{60}Al_{10}Cu_{30}$. The compositions with $T_g$ made into powders. Figure shows XRD data of thin film showed similar hollow peak.

두께가 서로 다른 $C_3$ 식물의 잎은 단위엽면적당 광합성 능력에 있어서도 차이가 나는 바 잎의 내부구조와 기체교환 사이의 관계를 바탕으로 그 원인을 구명하였다. 광합성의 2대 제한요인으로 기체확산과 생화학적 과정의 상대적인 중요도를 결정하기 위해 중엽세포의 표면은 기체확산 저항의, 그리고 세포의 체적은 탄소고정 능력의 지표로 가정하였다. 즉 세포의 표면적이 증가하면 이산화탄소의 액상확산 저항이 감소하며 체적이 증대되면 carboxylation, oxygenation, 그리고 dark respiration 반응속도가 증가한다고 간주하였다. 이러한 개념을 함축하는 광합성 모형을 작성하고 이 가설의 검증을 위해 대두 품종 Amsoy잎을 이용한 실험을 수행하였다. 생장조절실내에서 200, 400, 600$\mu$mol photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ PAR을 공급하여 서로 다른 두께의 잎을 준비하였으며 제3 및 4본엽에 대해 1,000 $\mu$mol photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ PAR 및 28 기온 환경하에서 이산화탄소 흡수속도를 측정한 결과 세포의 체적과 표면적의 영향을 동시에 고려한 광합성 모형이 세포 표면적만을 고려한 경우 보다 실측치에 가까운 예측치를 산출하였다. 이로 미루어 세포의 표면적과 체적은 잎의 두께 및 그에 따른 광합성 능력의 예측에 적절한 변수로 간주된다.
