  • 비탈면 붕괴와 관련된 대부분의 연구는 안정화되어 공용 중인 사면에서 발생되는 붕괴사례를 중심으로 이루어져 왔으며, 안정화가 이루어지지 않은 시공 중에 발생되는 비탈면의 붕괴특성에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 충청지역을 대상으로 시공 중 또는 시공 직후의 비탈면에서 붕괴가 발생된 79개소를 대상으로 정밀조사를 수행하고 그 결과를 통해 기하학적인 특성과 파괴특성, 설계 및 보강방법 등의 특성을 평가하였다. 분석결과 충북권은 평면형 붕괴와 표층 붕락이 두드러지며, 충남권은 평면형 붕괴가 대다수이나 충북권에 비해 퇴적암의 표층부 붕락이나 유실이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 주된 파괴인자는 충북권이 절리의 교호(53%)와 풍화(25%)로 나타났고 다방향 절리로 인한 블록화와 천매암 지역의 엽리가 영향을 미치고 있으며, 충남권도 발달된 절리(55%)가 주요요인이나 단층, 탄질셰일 등 퇴적암의 지질학적 성인(36%)도 상당한 영향을 미치고 있어 지질학적, 기후적, 환경적 특성이 비탈면의 안정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • This study reports on the geometry optimizations and electronic structure calculations for methyl pyropheophorbide (MPPa), tropolonyl methyl pyropheophorbides (TMPPa, ITMPPa), and cationic tropolonyl methyl pyropheophorbides ($TMPPa^+{{\cdot}BF_4}^-,\;ITMPPa^+{{\cdot}BF_4}^-,\;TMPPa^+,\;and\;ITMPPa^+$) using Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA/ 6-31G*) and the Restricted Hatree-Fock (RHF/6-31G*) level theory. From the calculated results, we found that substituted cationic tropolonyl groups have larger structural effects than those of substituted neutral tropolonyl groups. The order of structural change effects is $ITMPPa^+ > ITMPPa^+{{\cdot}BF_4}^-$ > ITMPPa, as a result of the isopropyl group. Because it is an electron-releasing group, the substituted isopropyl group electronic effect on a 3-position tropolone increases the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO-LUMO) energy gap. It was constituted that the larger the cationic characters of these photosensitizers, the smaller the HOMOLUMO band gaps are. The orbital energies of the cationic systems and the ions are stronger than those of a neutral system because of a strong electrostatic interaction. However, this stabilization of orbital energies are counteracted by the distortion of chlorin macrocycle, which results in a large destabilization of chlorin-based compound HOMOs and smaller destabilization of LUMOs as shown in TMPPa (ITMPPa), $TMPPa^+{{\cdot}BF_4}^- (ITMPPa^+{{\cdot}BF_4}^-),\;and\;TMPPa^+\;(ITMPPa^+)$ of Figure 6 and Table 6-7. These results are in reasonable agreement with normal-coordinate structural decomposition (NSD) results. The HOMO-LUMO gap is an important factor to consider in the development of photodynamic therapy (PDT).

  • STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A few of studies which compared and continuously measured the stability of various surface treated implants in the same individual had been performed. PURPOSE. We aim to find the clinical significance of surface treatments by observing the differences in the stabilization stages of implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Eight different surface topographies of dental implants were especially designed for the present study. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants(20 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, heat-treated 80 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, CaP coating surface, heat treated CaP coating surface) and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media(RBM) surface, sandblast and acid-etched(SAE) surface, anodized RBM surface] were used as experiment groups. All 24 implants were placed in 3 adult dogs. $Periotest^{(R)}$ & ISQ values measured for 8 weeks and all animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after surgery. Then the histological analyses were done. RESULTS. In PTV, all implants were stabilized except 1 failed implants. In ISQ values, The lowest stability was observed at different times for each individual. The ISQ values were showed increased tendency after 5 weeks in every groups. After 4 to 5 weeks, the values were stabilized. There was no statistical correlation between the ISQ values and PTV. In the histological findings, the bone formation was observed to be adequate in general and no differences among the 8 surface treated implants. CONCLUSIONS. In this study, the difference in the stability of the implants was determined not by the differences in the surface treatment but by the individual specificity.

  • Citrate ion is a commonly used reductant in metal colloid synthesis, undergoes strong surface interaction with silver nanocrystallites. The slow crystal growth observed as a result of the interaction between the silver surface and the citrate ion makes this reduction process unique compared to other chemical and radiolytic synthetic methods. The antimicrobial effects of silver (Ag) ion or salts are well known, but the effects of citrate coated Ag nanoparticles (CAgNPs) are scant. Herein, we have isolated biofilm causative bacteria and fungi from drinking water PVC pipe lines. Stable CAgNPs were prepared and the formation of CAgNPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis and recorded the localized surface plasmon resonance of CAgNPs at 430 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis revealed C=O and O-H bending vibrations due to organic capping of silver responsible for the reduction and stabilization of the CAgNPs. X-ray diffraction micrograph indicated the face centered cubic structure of the formed CAgNPs, and morphological studies including size (average size 50 nm) were carried out using transmission electron microscopy. The hydrodynamic diameter (60.7 nm) and zeta potential (-27.6 mV) were measured using the dynamic light scattering technique. The antimicrobial activity of CAgNPs was evaluated (in vitro) against the isolated fungi, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria using disc diffusion method and results revealed that CAgNPs with 170ppm concentration are having significant antimicrobial effects against an array of microbes tested.

  • 본 연구에서는 레시틴, 에탄올, 오일, Arlacel 60 (sorbitan monostearate) 등을 주성분으로 하고, 최근 화장품과 식품의 원료로서 각광을 받고 있는 피부의 노화방지용 항산화물질인 코엔자임 Q10 (CoQ10)를 기능성 원료로 함유하는 나노 에멀젼을 제조하고자 하였다. 에멀젼 제조방법으로는 반전유화법(phase inversion emulsion method)과 초음파를 이용한 기계적 방법을 사용하였으며, 이 때 에탄올과 레시틴의 영향과 시간의 경과에 따른 안정성과 그 밖의 각종 변수들이 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 입자의 크기, 제타전위, 에멀젼의 형태와 같은 물리적 특성들을 측정해 보았다. 최소크기의 나노에멀젼을 형성하기 위한 CoQ10의 최적 배합농도는 0.8% 정도였고, 계면활성제로서 Arlacel 60 농도에 따른 입자크기의 영향을 보면 3% 정도에서 100 nm 크기의 에멀젼 입자들을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서의 사용한 최적의 계면활성제 농도범위(2% 이상)에서는 7일 정도가 지난 시점까지 Ostwald ripening 에 따른 입자의 크기 변화가 없었다. 장시간의 경과에 따른 실험을 보면 에멀젼들은 실온에서 270일이 지난 상태에서도 115 nm로 10% 정도만의 크기 변화를 보여 비교적 안정된 상태로 에멀젼을 유지함을 알 수 있었으며, 제타전위 측정으로 시간의 경과에 따른 입자크기의 변화는 응집(flocculation)에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

  • 약 10%이하의 Pt 또는 Ir 첨가시켜 니켈모노실리싸이드를 고온에서 안정화 시키는 것이 가능한지 확인하기 위해서 활성화영역을 가정한 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼와 게이트를 상정한 폴리 실리콘 웨이퍼 전면에 Ni, Pt, Ir을 열증착기로 성막하여 10 nm-Ni/l nm-Pt/(poly)Si, 10 nm-Ni/l nm-Ir/(poly)Si 구조를 만들었다. 준비된 시편을 쾌속 열처리기를 이용하여 40초간 실리사이드화 열처리 온도를 $300^{\circ}C{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변화시켜 두께 50nm의 실리사이드를 완성하였다. 완성된 Pt와 Ir이 첨가된 니켈실리사이드의 온도별 전기저항변화, 두께변화, 표면조도변화, 상변화, 성분변화를 각각 사점전기저항측정기와 광발산주사전자현미경, 주사탐침현미경, XRD와 Auger depth profiling으로 각각 확인하였다. Pt를 첨가한 결과 기판 종류에 관계없이 기존의 니켈실리사이드 공정에 의한 NiSi와 비교하여 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 NiSi 안정화 구역을 넓히는 효과는 없었고 면저항이 커지는 문제가 있었다. Ir을 삽입한 경우는 단결정 실리콘 기판에서는 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서의 NiSi와 동일하게 $1200^{\circ}C$까지 안정한 저저항을 보여서 Ir이 효과적으로 Ni(Ir)Si 형태로 $NiSi_{2}$로의 상변태를 적극적으로 억제하는 특성을 보이고 있었고, 다결정 기판에서는 $850^{\circ}C$까지 효과적으로 NiSi의 고온 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

  • 입자크기 감소에 의한 약물의 표면적 증가는 불용성 약물의 생체이용률 즉, 약물의 흡수량과 속도를 향상시켜 주는 효과적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그 동안 약물 나노제제 공정 동안 약물 나노입자가 응집되는 것을 방지하기 위한 안정제 또는 분산제로서 한정된 수의 부형제만 사용되어 공정의 개선에 제약이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 N-카복시안하이드라이드 단량체의 개환 중합으로 합성한 소수성과 친수성을 가진 아미노산 공중합체가 불용성 약물인 나프록센 나노입자를 안정화시키기 위한 새로운 물질로서 사용되었다. 합성된 아미노산 공중합체로 안정화된 나프록센 나노입자는 60분간 습식 분쇄 공정에 의해 $200\~500nm$의 크기로 제조되었고, 공중합체의 소수성 부분이 적어도 $10 mol\%$ 이상이어야 효과적인 크기 감소를 볼 수 있으며, 공중합체의 모폴로지와 분자량은 입자 크기 감소를 결정하는 중요 요소가 아니었다. 또한 제조된 약물 나노입자 크기는 눈에 띄는 응집없이 14일까지 안정한 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • This study is to stabilize insoluble and unstable active ingredient which is Idebenone (INCI name: hydroxydecyl ubiquinone) in a multi-lamellar vesicle (MLV) and to stabilize it in the skin care cosmetics. Idebenone is good effective raw material in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in the medical field and a powerful antioxidant in dermatology. It is well known as a substance that inhibits the formation of melanin and cleans the skin pigment. However, it did not dissolve in any solvent and it was difficult to apply in cosmetic applications. Niosome vesicle was able to develop a nano-particle by making a multi-layer of idebenone encapsulated with a nonionic surfactant, hydrogenated lecithin and glycine soja (soybean) sterols and passing it through a high pressure microfluidizer. Idebenone niosome vesicle (INV) has been developed to have the ability to dissolve transparently in water and to promote transdermal penetration. The appearance of the INV was a yellowish liquid having specific odor, and the particle size distribution of INV was about 10~80 nm. The pH was 5~8 (mean=6.8). This capsulation with idebenone was stored in a $45^{\circ}C$ incubator for 3 months and its stability was observed and quantitatively measured by HPLC. As a result, the stability of the sample encapsulated in the niosome vesicle (97.5%) was about 66.3% higher than that of the non-capsule sample of 32.5%. Idebenone 1% INV was used for the efficacy test and clinical trial evaluation as follows. The anti-oxidative activity of INV was 38.2%, which was superior to that of 12.8% tocopherol (control). The melanin-reducing effect of B16 melanoma cells was better than INV (17.4%) and Albutin (control) (9.6%). Pro-collagen synthesis rate was 128.2% for INV and 89.3% for tocopherol (control). The skin moisturizing effect was 15.5% better than the placebo sample. The elasticity effect was 9.7% better than the placebo sample. As an application field, INV containing 1% of idebenone is expected to be able to develop various functional cosmetic formulations such as skin toner, ampoule essence, cream, eye cream and sunblock cream. In addition, it is expected that this encapsulated material will be widely applicable to emulsifying agents for skin use in the pharmaceutical industry as well as the cosmetics industry.
