The purpose of this study was to investigate the shear bond strength and marginal microleakage of composite to enamel and dentin according to different treatment methods when the applied bonding agent was contaminated by artificial saliva. For the shear bond strength test, the buccal and occlusal surfaces of one hundred twenty molar teeth were ground to expose enamel(n=60) and dentin surfaces(n=60). The specimens were randomly assigned into control and 5 experimental groups with 10 samples in each group. In control group, a bonding system(Scotchbond$^{TM}$ Multi-Purpose plus) and a composite resin(Z-100$^{TM}$) was bonded on the specimens according to manufacture's directions. Experimental groups were subdivided into 5 groups. After polymerization of an adhesive, they were contaminated with at artificial saliva on enamel and dentin surfaces: Experimental group 1 ; artificial saliva was dried with compressed air. Experimental group 2 ; artificial saliva was rinsed with air-water spray and dried. Experimental group 3 ; artificial saliva was rinsed, dried and applied an adhesive. Experimental group 4 ; artificial saliva was rinsed, dried, and then etched using phosphoric acid followed by an adhesive. Experimental group 5, artificial saliva was rinsed, dried, and then etched with phosphoric acid followed by consecutive application of both a primer and an adhesive. Composite resin(Z-100$^{TM}$) was bonded on saliva-treated enamel and dentin surfaces. The shear bond strengths were measured by universal testing machine(AGS-1000 4D, Shimaduzu Co. Japan) with a crosshead speed of 5mm/minute under 50kg load cell. Failure modes of fracture sites were examined under stereomicroscope. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. For the marginal microleakage test, Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of sixty molars. The specimens were divided into control and experimental groups. Cavities in experimental group were contaminated with artificial saliva and those surfaces in each experimental groups received the same treatments as for the shear test. Cavities were filled with Z-100. Specimens were immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours and embedded in transparent acrylic resin and sectioned buccolingually with diamond wheel saw. Four sections were obtained from the one specimen. Marginal microleakages of enamel and dentin were scored under streomicroscope and averaged from four sections. The data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Fisher's LSD. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The shear bond strength to enamel showed lower value in experimental group 1(13.20${\pm}$2.94MPa) and experimental group 2(13.20${\pm}$2.94MPa) than in control(20.03${\pm}$4.47MPa), experimental group 4(20.96${\pm}$4.25MPa) and experimental group 5(21.25${\pm}$4.48MPa) (p<0.05). 2. The shear bond strength to dentin showed lower value in experimental group 1(9.35${\pm}$4.11MPa) and experimental group 2(9.83${\pm}$4.11MPa) than in control group(17.86${\pm}$4.03MPa), experimental group 4(15.04${\pm}$3.22MPa) and experimental group 5(14.33${\pm}$3.00MPa) (p<0.05). 3. Both on enamel and dentin surfaces, experimental group 1 and 2 showed many adhesive failures, but control and experimental group 3, 4 and 5 showed mixed and cohesive failures. 4. Enamel marginal microleakage was the highest in experimental group 1 and there was a significant difference in comparison with other groups (p<0.05). 5. Dentin marginal microleakages of experimental group 1 and 2 were higher than those of other groups (p<0.05). This result suggests that treatment methods, re-etching with 35% phosphoric acid followed by re-application of adhesive or repeating all adhesive procedures, will produce good effect on both shear bond strength and microleakage of composite to enamel and dentin if the polymerized bonding agent was contaminated by saliva.

기상청은 농작물의 생육 및 관개를 비롯한 여러 농경활동에 미치는 토양수분의 중요성을 인식하고, 전국 11개 농업기상 관측지점에서 관측을 수행하고 있다. 그러나 이 자료가 폭넓게 활용되지 못하고 있어 우선적으로 관측자료의 신뢰도를 확보할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 현업 토양수분 자료의 정확도를 검증하고, 품질 향상을 위해 적용할 보정식을 개발하는데 목표를 두었다. 먼저 관측 노장의 토양을 채취하여 토양수분함량에 영향을 미치는 용적밀도, 용적수분함량, 토성 및 보수력 등의 물리적 성질을 분석하였다. 토성은 대부분의 관측지점에서 모래가 주성분인 사양토 또는 양질사토로 분류되었으며, 1.5 g/cm³ 내외의 용적밀도를 나타냈다. 미사와 점토 함량이 상대적으로 높았던 능주와 익산 지점은 용적밀도와 보수력도 다른 곳보다 더 높게 나타난 것으로 볼 때, 토성과 용적밀도, 보수력 사이에 밀접한 연관성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 자체 설계·제작한 '레퍼런스 토양수분 관측시스템'에 이러한 관측지 토양의 특성을 반영하여 레퍼런스 센서로 사용할 EnviroSCAN 모델의 실험실 보정이 이루어졌다. 보정 작업은 load cell에서 측정한 무게 변화로부터 계산된 토양수분함량과 보정할 센서의 측정값을 비교하는 방식으로 진행되었으며, 제조사의 default 보정식에 대해 추가 보정의 필요성은 없는 것으로 결정되었다. 보정이 완료된 레퍼런스 센서와 현업 센서의 비교 관측 실험이 11개 각 지점에서 3회 이상 실시되었다. 전반적으로 레퍼런스 센서와 현업 센서의 측정값이 변화하는 패턴은 유사하게 나타났지만, 현업 센서가 레퍼런스 센서에 비해 상대적으로 토양수분을 과소평가하는 지점이 많았다. 두 센서 간의 편차는 장기간 건조 상태가 지속될 경우 일정한 추세를 유지하지만, 강수가 빈번한 시기에는 그 양상이 복잡해지는 특징이 있다. 비교 관측 실험의 결과를 바탕으로 각 기간별로 두 센서에 의해 관측된 자료의 범위와 평균을 이용하여 지점 및 깊이별 선형보정식을 개발하였다. 이 보정식을 수원 지점에 시범적으로 적용하여 뚜렷한 개선효과를 확인하였다. 또한 연속데이터에 보정식을 적용할 수 있도록 보정식이 산출되지 않은 기간의 구체적인 보정값 산정 방법도 제시하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해 보면, 모든 관측지점에 대해 1년에 2회 정도의 주기적인 보정 작업이 토양수분 관측자료의 품질 향상을 위해 필수적인 것으로 판단된다.

Liposomes as drug delivery system have proved useful carrier for various disease, including cancer. In addition, perfluorocarbon cored microbubbles are utilized in conjunction with high-intensity focused-ultrasound (HIFU) to enable simultaneous diagnosis and treatment. However, microbubbles generally exhibit lower drug loading efficiency, so the need for the development of a novel liposome-based drug delivery material that can efficiently load and deliver drugs to targeted areas via HIFU. This study aims to develop a liposome-based drug delivery material by introducing a substance that can burst liposomes using ultrasound energy and confirm the ability to target tumors using PET imaging. Liposomes (Lipo-DOX, Lipo-DOX-Au, Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD) were synthesized with gold nanoparticles using an avidin-biotin bond, and doxorubicin was mounted inside by pH gradient method. The size distribution was measured by DLS, and encapsulation efficiency of doxorubicin was analyzed by UV-vis spectrometer. The target specificity and cytotoxicity of liposomes were assessed in vitro by glioblastoma U87mg cells to HIFU treatment and analyzed using CCK-8 assay, and fluorescence microscopy at 6-hour intervals for up to 24 hours. For the in vivo study, U87mg model mouse were injected intravenously with 1.48 MBq of ⁶⁴Cu-labeled Lipo-DOX-Au and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and PET images were taken at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours. As a result, the size of liposomes was 108.3 ± 5.0 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au and 94.1 ± 12.2 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and it was observed that doxorubicin was mounted inside the liposome up to 52%. After 6 hours of HIFU treatment, the viability of U87mg cells treated with Lipo-DOX-Au decreased by around 20% compared to Lipo-DOX, and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD had a higher uptake rate than Lipo-DOX. In vivo study using PET images, it was confirmed that ⁶⁴Cu-Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD was taken up into the tumor immediately after injection and maintained for up to 4 hours. In this study, drugs released from liposomes-gold nanoparticles via ultrasound and RGD targeting were confirmed by non-invasive imaging. In cell-level experiments, HIFU treatment of gold nanoparticle-coupled liposomes significantly decreased tumor survival, while RGD-liposomes exhibited high tumor targeting and rapid release in vivo imaging. It is expected that the combination of these models with ultrasound is served as an effective drug delivery material with therapeutic outcomes.

이온운반계는 생체의 각기 다른 세포의 성장을 조절하는 성장조절인자들의 효과를 매개하는데 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 신장 근위세뇨관에서 솔변 연 $Na^+/H^+$ 상호운반계는 사구체에서 여과된 나트륨의 재흡수와 수소이온의 분비를 조절하는 중요한 기능을 수행한다. 이 연구는 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포의 나트륨 운반을 Insulin-like Growth Factor-I(IGF-I)이 어떤 경로를 통하여 조절하는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 시간의존적으로 증가되었으며, 30분동안 $Na^+$ uptake를 실시한 결과 세포외 NaCl 농도의존적으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰다(대조군; $40.11{\pm}1.76$, 140mM군; $17.82{\pm}0.94pmole\;Na^+/mg\;protein/min$). 2. $Na^+$ uptake는 iodoacetic acid(IAA, $1{\times}10^{-4}M$) 또는 valinomycin($5{\times}10^{-6}M$)처리시 대조군에 비해 각각 $50.51{\pm}4.4%$와 $57.65{\pm}2.27%$ 억제되었으며, ouabain($5{\times}10^{-5}M$)을 처리한 경우는 $140.23{\pm}3.37%$ 증가되었다. IGF-I($1{\times}10^{-5}M$)으로 배양한 세포를 actinomycin D($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)와 cycloheximide($4{\times}10^{-5}M$)로 처리시 $Na^+$ uptake는 대조군에 비해 각각 $90.21{\pm}2.39%$와 $89.64{\pm}3.69%$로 감소되었다. 3. IGF-I으로 배양한 세포에서 세포외 cAMP는 농도의존적($10^{-8}-10^{-4}M$)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰고, 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine(IBMX, $5{\times}10^{-5}M$)도 억제시켰다. Pertussis toxin(PTX, 50pg/ml)이나 cholera toxin(CTX, $1{\mu}g/ml$)의 처리시에도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되었다. 세포외 phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate(PMA) 또한 농도의존적(1-100ng/ml)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 감소시켰다. 그러나 staurosporine($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)은 $Na^+$ uptake에 영향을 미치지 않았으며 PMA와 stauiosporine을 동시에 처리했을 때도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되지 않았다. 결론적으로 초대배양된 토끼 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 막전위와 세포내 에너지 의존적이며 IGF-I은 부분적으로 단백질 및 RNA 합성을 통해서 그리고 세포내 cAMP나 PKC 경로를 통해서 $Na^+$ uptake를 조절하는 것으로 생각된다.
