Doped and undoped-BiVO₄ samples with different elements (Li, Mg) and amounts were synthesized with a hydrothermal method. The synthesized samples were characterized using various techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffusion reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by measuring the degradation of methyl blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that the incorporation of Mg and Li into BiVO₄ caused lattice distortion, the presence of surface hydroxyl groups, a narrower band gap, and a reduced recombination ratio of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. Notably, the photocatalytic activity of Mg5%-Li5% co-doped BiVO₄ sample exhibited a significant improvement compared to that of undoped BiVO₄ sample.

이 연구의 목적은 연화 gutta-percha 주입 근관충전법에서 효과적인 근관폐쇄를 얻기위해 함께 사용하는 sealer의 척절한 조도률 측정하는데 있다. 실험에 사용된 sealer는 $0.5m{\ell}$의 유지놀에 산화아연 분말을 혼화하여 얻은 $0.5m{\ell}$의 혼합물이 두 유리판 사이에서 120gm의 무게에 의하여 퍼지는 정도로써 측정한 조도에 상응하는 분말액비(比) 대로 산화아연 분말과 유지놀을 혼합하여 조도 65.45mm, 46.80mm, 28.95mm 및 22.60mm의 sealer를 제조하였다. 발거된 125개의 하악 대구치에서 원심근을 절취하여 step-back 방법으로 근관형성, 제조된 sealer를 근관벽에 피복하고 $70^{\circ}C$에서 연화된 gutta-percha를 주입, 근관충전하였다. 실험치근은 2% methylene-blue 색소용액에 침적시켜 $37^{\circ}C$의 항온기에서 48시간 경과시킨후 근단공을 통한 색소침투의 정도를 측정하여 다읍의 결과를 얻었다. 연화 gutta-percha 주입 근관충전법에서 sealer를 사용하지 않은 군이 sealer를 사용한 군보다 색소침투는 더 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 일정한 조도의 범위 65.45mm~22.60mm에서 조도 65.45mm의 sealer는 조도 28.9mm 및 22.60mm보다 폐쇄효과는 더 높게 나타났고(p<0.05) 조도 46.80mm의 sealer 보다도 더 높게 나타났으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다.

Manganese and $TiO_2$ grown on Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The catalytic behavior was investigated through the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) as standard dyes under visible light. The degradation performance of the degraded standard dye solutions was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. This enhanced photocatalytic activity arises from the positive synergetic effect among the Mn, $TiO_2$ and ACF in this heterogeneous photocatalyst. The process contributes to the release of abundant photocatalytic sites of Mn and $TiO_2$ and improves the photocatalytic efficiency. The excellent adsorption and photocatalytic effect with the explanation of the synergetic mechanism are very useful not only for fundamental research but also for potential practical applications.

In this study, CdSe-$TiO_2$ photocatalyst were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by degrading methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under irradiation of UV light as well as visible light. The absorbance of degraded MB solution was determined by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the CdSe-$TiO_2$ photocatalyst exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than $TiO_2$ both under irradiation of UV light as well as visible light.

The feasibility of earthworm protease as a new cosmetic material for human hair care was investigated. The effectiveness of the earthworm protease treatment was assessed by thickness change of hairs, optical microscope examination, aminoacid analysis, surface morphology, angular resolution analysis through methylene blue staining method and tensile strength change. The protease treated hair became thinner and the soil on the surface removed in experimental groups unlike control group. Tensile strength decreased in experimental group in which the enzymes may decompose polypeptide bonds.

We investigated the modification of optical response properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings on the ceramic water-purification filters by using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The TiO2 coatings were prepared on ceramic substrate by e-beam evaporation method. These amorphous TiO2 were turned into anatase phase by heat treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The doping of N atoms into the TiO2 coatings was done by using 70KeV of N＋ ion implantation with the dose of $1.0{\times}1017$ ions/cm2, followed by post-irradiation heat treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Methylene blue test of TiO2 coatings to solar irradiation showed that the post-evaporation heated TiO2 was photocatalytic and N-doped TiO2 reacted to the visible part of solar irradiation.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacies for myocardial protective effect of retrograde right atrial perfusion [RRAP] of cardioplegia compared with antegrade aortic root perfusion [AARP]. Myocardial distribution of perfusate [using methylene blue] with RRAP was less poor to AARP. Myocardial protective effect was estimated with myocardial temperature and electron microscopy. Cooling protection of right ventricle with RRAP was similar to AARP. On the other hand, cooling protection of left ventricle with RRAP was slight poor to AARP. The electron microscopic ischemic change of right and left ventricle with RRAP was similar to AARP. RRAP was thought to be a good alternative method to perfuse cardioplegia and protect both ventricle.

In human, sympathetic nerve blocks with local anesthetics are widely used to treat a variety of diseases in the innervating regions. However, its procedure in dogs is difficult to approach and process repeatedly because of anatomically location. Therefore, this study was designed to develop a new technique of sympathetic nerve block in beagle dogs. Fifteen healthy beagle dogs, which did not show any neurologic abnormalities and disease, were used for the study. Radiograghs were taken after injected radiopaque material mixed with 2% lidocaine at the cranial cervical ganglion and injected methylene blue using the same percutaneous technique to verify the reliability of this newly developed technique. The successful block rate of the cranial cervical ganglion block was present in 80% of all dogs and the stained cranial cervical ganglions were shown in all dogs. The results show that this new technique of the cranial cervical ganglion block is a reliable and simple method that can be used for clinical studies in dogs.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of apical seal produced by ultrasonic instrumentation. 120 extracted, permanent single rooted teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups of 20 teeth and root canals were enlarged & obturated according to Table I. After canal obturation, the obturated teeth were immersed in 2.5 % Methylene blue for 72 hrs. at $37^{\circ}C$ incubator and longitudinally sectioned. The apical sealing ability was evaluated by measuring the degree of dye penetration into the canal. The results were as follows: 1. All groups showed varying depth of dye penetration. 2. There were no significant differences between Group I and N, Group II and V, Group III and VI. (P>0.05) 3. Regardless of obturation method, there were no significant differences between hand instrumented group and ultrasonic instrumented group.(P>0.05).

Nickel oxide-doped ACF and $TiO_2$ composites (NiO/ACF/$TiO_2$) were prepared by a sol-gel method. The composite obtained was characterized by BET surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. A methylene blue (MB) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine their photocatalytic activity. Excellent photocatalytic degradation of the MB solution was observed using the $TiO_2$, Ti-ACF and NiO/ACF/$TiO_2$ composite under visible light.
