골다공증 치료제 이프리플라본 (IP)은 조골세포의 분화와 증식을 자극하고 에스트로겐의 존재로 칼시토닌 분비를 강화한다. 조절 가능한 생분해성과 생체적합성으로 인하여 락타이드-글라이콜라이드 공중합체 (PLGA)는 약물방출조절을 연구하는데 가장 적합한 고분자중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서 IP가 함유된 PLGA 미립구는 일반적인 O/W 용매 증발법으로 제조하였으며, 미립구의 크기는 5~200 $mu extrm{m}$의 범위에 있었다. 미립구의 형태는 SEM으로 관찰하였고, 생체외 방출실험에서 IP 방출량은 HPLC로 분석 하였다. 젤라틴 및 PVA등의 유화제 사용으로 가장 높은 약물 포접율을 얻을 수 있었다. 미립구의 형태, 크기 및 약물 방출 패턴은 PLGA의 분자량 (8, 20, 33 및 90 kg/mol), 고분자용액의 농도 (2.5, 5, 10 및 20%), 유화제의 종류 (PVA, gelatin 및 Tween 80), 초기 약물 함유량 (5, 10, 20 및 30%) 및 교반속도 (250, 500 및 1000 rpm) 등과 같은 여러 제조 변수들에 의하여 조절할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 생체외 방출실험에서 IP 방출은 제조조건을 조절함으로써 거의 영차방출 형태로 30일 이상으로 지속적이었다 또한, XRD와 DSC로 IP 함유 PLGA 미립구의 물리화학적인 성질을 조사하여 방출메카니즘을 고찰하였다.

본 논문에서는 순차적 화학기상증착법에 기반하여 다양한 구조적 특성을 갖는 산화아연 나노구조체를 탄소나노튜브 상에 3 차원 혼성구조로 형성하는 공정을 개발하고 그 형성 메커니즘을 논한다. 이어서 나노와이어, 나노로드, 나노플레이트, 다결정 나노박막 등 다양한 형상의 산화아연 나노구조를 온도, 압력, 개스유량 등 주요 파라미터들의 조절을 통해 형성할 수 있음을 보이며, 이의 형성 원리에 대해 기본적인 형성 메커니즘과 연계하여 고찰한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 압전 및 광전 에너지변환 특성 등 풍부한 기능성을 보유하되 다소 높은 전기저항을 갖는 산화아연 나노구조체를 다양한 포맷으로 양전도성의 탄소나노튜브와 혼성화 함으로써, 각각의 포맷 별로 특화된 보다 폭넓은 응용 분야로의 활용을 구현해 나갈 수 있을 것이다.

Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of the rice blast disease, poses a worldwide threat to stable rice production. The large-scale functional characterization of genes controlling the pathogenicity of M. oryzae is currently under way, but little is known about heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40) function in the rice blast fungus or any other filamentous plant pathogen. We identified 25 genes encoding putative Hsp40s in the genome of M. oryzae using a bioinformatic approach, which we designated M. oryzae heat shock protein forty (MHF 1-25). To elucidate the roles of these genes, we characterized the functions of MHF16 and MHF21, which encode type ill and type n Hsp40 proteins, respectively. MHF16 and MHF21 expression was not significantly induced by heat shock, but it was down-regulated by cold shock. Knockout mutants of these genes $({\Delta}$mhf16 and ${\Delta}$mhf21) were viable, but conidiation was severely reduced. Moreover, sectoring was observed in the ${\Delta}mhf16$ mutant when it was grown on oatmeal agar medium. Conidial germination, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity in rice were not significantly affected in the mutants. The defects in conidiation and colony morphology were fully complemented by reintroduction of wild type MHF16 and MHF21 alleles, respectively. These data indicate that MHF16 and MHF21 play important roles in conidiation in the rice blast fungus.

우리의 이전의 연구에서 Citrus auranifoli 오일은 Malassezia furfur와 Malassezia pachydermatis에 대해 항곰팡이 활성을 나타낸다는 것을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 Citrus auranifoli 오일의 주요 성분인 리모넨(limonene)의 M. furfur와 M. pachydermatis에 대한 저해효과를 디크스 확산 방법(disk diffusion method)에 의해 측정하였고, Beas-2B 세포에 대한 세포독성을 cytopathic effect reduction 방법에 의해 측정하였다. Limonene의 최소곰팡이저해농도(minimum fungicidal concentration)는 양성대조구인 itraconazole보다 더 낮았고, 100 ${\mu}g$/mL의 농도에서 Beas-2B cells에 대한 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 itraconazole은 같은 농도에서 약한 세포독성을 나타내었다. 그러므로, 우리의 결과에서 limonene는 비세포독성과 함께 M. furfur and M. pachydermatis의 성장저해를 하는데 효과적이라는 것을 보여준다.

$TiO_2$ nanopowders with anatase structure were firstly prepared by controlling the pH value of a precursor solution without any heat-treatment at room temperature. The prepared $TiO_2$ nanopowders were hydrothermally treated in 10M NaOH solution at $170^{\circ}C$. Then, the samples were washed in DI water or 0.1M HCl. The $TiO_2$ nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The gas sensitivity of $TiO_2$ nanotubes for toluene gas was also investigated. The results show that $TiO_2$ nanotubes can be prepared by hydrothermal treatment. The morphology of $TiO_2$ nanotubes prepared by 0.1M HCl washing is destroyed to some extent. $TiO_2$ nanotubes with DI water washing show better sensitivity than that with 0.1M HCl washing.

Fe-based pigments have attracted much interest owing to their eco-friendliness. In particular, the color of nanosized pigments can be tuned by controlling their size and morphology. This study reports on the effect of length on the coloration of ${\beta}$-FeOOH pigments prepared using an $NH_4OH$ solution. First, rod-type ${\beta}$-FeOOH is prepared by the hydrolysis of $FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $NH_4OH$. When the amount of $NH_4OH$ is increased, the length of the rods decreases. Thus, the length of the nanorods can be adjusted from 10 nm to 300 nm. The color of ${\beta}$-FeOOH changes from orangered to yellow depending on the length of ${\beta}$-FeOOH. The color and phase structure of ${\beta}$-FeOOH is characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, CIE Lab color parameter measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Weaning stress can affect the growth performance and intestinal health of piglets. Dietary alternatives to antibiotics, such as dietary probiotics, especially those containing multiple microbial species, are a preventive strategy for effectively controlling post-weaning diarrhea. In this study, we investigated forty-eight crossbred piglets in three treatment groups for 21 days: the control and experimental groups were supplemented with Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134, Bacillus subtilis AS1.836 plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 28338 (EBS) or Lactobacillus paracasei L9 CGMCC No. 9800 (EBL). On day 21, weaned piglets supplemented with two kinds of probiotic complexes showed increased growth performance and significantly reduced post-weaning diarrhea (p < 0.05). The EBS treatment increased acetic acid and propionic acid in the feces (p < 0.05), and the EBL treatment increased fecal acetic acid, propionic acid, butyrate and valerate (p < 0.05). Moreover, the fecal microbiota of the piglets changed markedly in EBL treatment. The addition of EBS and EBL may have similar effects on the prevention of diarrhea by improving the intestinal morphology and regulating the microbiota during the weaning period.

열방성 액정고분자(TLCP)와 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트)를 혼합용매 중에서 블렌딩하였으며, 이들 블렌드는 capillary rheometer die를 통하여 $287^{\circ}C$에서 섬유상 압출물로 가공되었다. 블렌드와 제조된 복합재료의 열적 성질, 기계적 성질, 모폴로지는 DSC, 편광현미경, SEM 및 인장시험에 의하여 조사되었다. 블렌드의 결정화 동력학은 등온 DSC 방법에 의하여 측정된 데이타로부터 Avrami식을 이용하여 결정화 속도 및 결정성장 메카니즘에 대한 정보를 얻었다. 블렌드내의 액정상은 가공온도조건하에서 거대상분킥나 열분해현상을 보이지 않았으며, 액체질소 속에서 절단된 섬유 단면의 SEM 관찰에 의하면, 섬유내 TLCP domain은 $0.1{\mu}m$에서 $0.2{\mu}m$정도의 크기로 분산되었고, 두 상 계면에서의 접착은 잘 되어있음을 알 수 있었다. TLCP/PET in-situ 섬유상 복합재료의 인장강도와 모듈러스는 TLCP 함량이 많을수록, draw ratio가 높을수록 증가됨을 알 수 있었다.

Increased exposure of human to RF fields has raised concerns for its potential adverse effects on our health. To address the biological effects of RF radiation, we used genome wide gene expression as the indicator. We exposed normal WI-38 human fibroblast cells to 1763 MHz mobile phone RF radiation at a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 60 W/kg with an operating cooling system for 24 h. There were no alterations in cell numbers or morphology after RF exposure. Through microarray analysis, we identified no differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the 0.05 significance level after controlling for multiple testing errors with the Benjaminiochberg false discovery rate (BH FDR) method. Meanwhile, 82 genes were differentially expressed between RF-exposed cells and controls when the significance level was set at 0.01 without correction for multiple comparisons. We found that 24 genes (0.08% of the total genes examined) were changed by more than 1.5-fold on RF exposure. However, significant enrichment of any gene set or pathway was not observed from the functional annotation analysis. From these results, we did not find any evidence that non-thermal RF radiation at a 60-W/kg SAR significantly affects cell proliferation or gene expression in WI-38 cells.

[ $TiO_2$ ] thin films were fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering system at by controlling deposition times, ratios of $Ar:O_2$ partial presser ratio and substrate conditions. And the surface, cross-section morphology, microstructure, and composition ratio of the films were analyzed by FE-SEM, TEM and XPS. Besides, the optical absorption and transmittance of the $TiO_2$ films were measured by a UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer, and photocatalytic properties were studied by G C Analyzer & Data Analysis system. As the result, when $TiO_2$ thin film was made at deposition time of 120[min] and $Ar:O_2$ ratio of 60:40, the best structural and optical properties among many thin films could be accepted. The best results of properties were as follows: thickness; $360{\sim}370[nm]$, grain size; 40[m], gap between two peak binding energy, $5.8{\pm}0.05[eV]$ ($2p_{3/2}$ peak and $2p_{1/2}$ peak of Ti was show at $458.3{\pm}0.05[eV]$ and $464.1{\pm}0.05[eV]$ respectively), binding energy; $530{\pm}0.05\;[eV]$, opticalenergy band gap; 3.4[eV].
