  • Pathogen infections or mastitis inflammations usually develop differently on each udder of lactating cow. Although healthy udders will be attacked by the mastitis pathogens or the pathogens from blood in a long term, they would not be always inflamed. Somatic cell counts (SCC) in milk, which is utilized as an index of mastitis diagnosis, and the relation among SCC and milk constituents will have to be examined on each udder individually. Twelve cows of a Holstein cow herd in Nasu Research Station, which were suffering clinical or non-clinical mastitis, were selected, and SCC and milk constituents on each udder milk were measured. The effects of mastitis infection on udder milk components were relatively small except lactose content on udder milks of non-clinical mastitis (SCC< $10.0{\times}10^5$ per ml milk). On udder milks of clinical mastitis, however, high negative correlations were recognized between SCC and milk components. On different sampling days, high contents of fat and protein corresponded to that of total solids.

  • A total of 28 wall panels were cast and tested under uniformly distributed axial load in one-way in-plane action to study the effect of slenderness ratio (SR) and aspect ratio (AR) on the ultimate load. Two concrete formulations, normal concrete (NC) and self compacting concrete (SCC), were used for the casting of wall panels. Out of 28 wall panels, 12 were made of NC and the remaining 16 panels were of SCC. All the 12 NC panels and 12 out of 16 SCC panels were used to study the influence of SR and the remaining 4 SCC panels were tested to study the effect of AR on the ultimate load. A brief review of studies available in literature on the strength and behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) wall panels is presented. Load-deformation response was recorded and analyzed. The ultimate load of SCC wall panels decreases non-linearly with the increase in SR and decreases linearly with increasing values of AR. Based on this study a method is proposed to predict the ultimate load of reinforced SCC wall panels. The modified method includes the effect of SR, AR and concrete strength.

  • Using industrial wastes and construction and demolition (C&D) wastes is potentially advantageous for concrete production in terms of sustainability improvement. In this paper, a sustainable Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) made with industrial wastes and C&D wastes was proposed by considerably replacing natural counterparts with recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) (i.e., Fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and silica fume (SF)). A total of 12 SCC mixes with various RCAs and different combination SCMs were prepared, which comprise binary, ternary and quaternary mixes. The mechanical properties in terms of compressive strength and static elasticity modulus of recycled aggregates (RA-SCC) mixes were determined and analyzed. Microstructural study was implemented to analyze the reason of improvement on mechanical properties. By means of life cycle assessment (LCA) method, the environmental impacts of RA-SCC with various RCAs and SCMs were quantified, analyzed and compared in the system boundary of "cradle-to-gate". In addition, the comparison of LCA results with respect to mechanical properties was conducted. The results demonstrate that the addition of proposed combination SCMs leads to significant improvement in mechanical properties of quaternary RA-SCC mixes with FA, GGBS and SF. Furthermore, quaternary RA-SCC mixes emit lowest environmental burdens without compromising mechanical properties. Thus, using the combination of FA, GGBS and SF as cement substitution to manufacture RA-SCC significantly improves the sustainability of SCC by minimizing the depletion of cement and non-renewable natural resources.

  • A CFD software was used to simulate free surface flow of SCC in the T-Box test. In total, seven simulations were developed to study the effect of rheological parameters on the non-restricted flow performance of SCC in both horizontal and vertical directions. Different suspending fluids having five plastic viscosity values between 10 and 50 Pa.s, three yield stress values between 14 and 75 Pa, one density of $2500kg/m^3$, and one shear elasticity modulus of 100 Pa were considered for suspension of 178 spherical particles of 20-mm diameter and $2500kg/m^3$ density. The results of the simulations are found to correlate well to changes in rheological parameters of the suspending fluid. Plastic viscosity was shown to be the most dominant parameter affecting flowability and dynamic stability compared to the yield stress. A new approach was proposed to evaluate performability of SCC based on a trade-off between flowability and dynamic stability.

  • Austenitic stainless steels (ASS) are extensively employed in various sectors such as nuclear, power, petrochemical, oil and gas because of their excellent structural strength and resistance to corrosion. SS304 and SS316 are the predominant choices for piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, nuclear reactor core components and support structures, but they are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride-rich environments. Over the course of several decades, extensive research efforts have been directed towards evaluating SCC using diverse methodologies and models, albeit some uncertainties persist regarding the precise progression of cracks. This review paper focuses on the application of Acoustic Emission Technique (AET) for assessing SCC damage mechanism by monitoring the dynamic acoustic emissions or inelastic stress waves generated during the initiation and propagation of cracks. AET serves as a valuable non-destructive technique (NDT) for in-service evaluation of the structural integrity within operational conditions and early detection of critical flaws. By leveraging the time domain and time-frequency domain techniques, various Acoustic Emission (AE) parameters can be characterized and correlated with the multi-stage crack damage phenomena. Further theories of the SCC mechanisms are elucidated, with a focus on both the dissolution-based and cleavage-based damage models. Through the comprehensive insights provided here, this review stands to contribute to an enhanced understanding of SCC damage in stainless steels and the potential AET application in nuclear industry.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) are the major histological types of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Although both SCCs and ACs have been characterized histologically and clinically, the precise mechanisms underlying their migration and invasion are not yet known. Here, we address the involvement in NSCLC of the p21-associated kinase1 (Pak1)/LIM kinase1 (LIMK1)/cofilin pathway, which recently has been reported to play a critical role in tumor migration and invasion. The Pak1/LIMK1/cofilin pathway was evaluated in tumors from SCC (n=35) and AC (n=35) patients and in SCC- and AC-type cell lines by western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and in vitro migration and invasion assays. The levels of phosphorylated Pak1, LIMK1, and cofilin in lung tumor tissues from SCC patients were increased as compared to normal tissues. In addition, immunohistochemistry showed greater expression of phosphorylated cofilin in SCC tissues. Expression of phosphorylated Pak1 and LIMK1 proteins was also significantly higher in SCC-type cells than in AC-type cells. Moreover, migration and invasion assays revealed that a higher percentage of SCC type cells exhibited migration and invasion compared to AC type cells. Migration was also decreased in LIMK1 knockdown SK-MES-1 cells. These findings suggest that the activation of the Pak1/LIMK1/cofilin pathway could preferentially contribute to greater tumor migration and invasion in SCC, relative to that in AC.

  • In this work, it is aimed to develop the fabrication method of axial stress corrosion cracking (SCC) defects having various sizes, on the outer diameter surface of the steam generator (SG) tubings. To control the length of the artificial SCC defect, the specific area of the SG tubing samples was exposed to an acidic solution after a sensitization heat treatment. During the exposure to an acidic solution, a direct current potential drop (DCPD) method was adopted to monitor the crack depth. The size of the SCC defect was first evaluated by an eddy current test (ECT), and then confirmed by a destructive examination. From the comparison, it was found that the actual crack length was well controlled to be similar to the length of the surface exposed to an acidic solution (5, 10, 20 or 30 mm in this work) with small standard deviation. From in-situ monitoring of the crack depth using the DCPD method, it was possible to distinguish a non-through wall crack from a through wall crack, even though the depth of the non-through wall crack was not able to be precisely controlled. The fabrication method established in this work was useful to simulate the SCC defect having similar size and ECT signals as compared to the field cracks in the SG tubings of the operating Korean PWRs.

  • 목적 : 자궁경부 편평상피암의 치료 후 추적조사 시에 시행하는 혈중 Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) 항원 검사가 재발의 조기 발견에 도움이 되는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1997년 1월부터 1998년 12월까지 자궁경부 편평상피암으로 방사선치료를 받고 완전 관해 되었다가 재발된 환자들 중에서 재발 시에 SCC 항원 검사가 이루어졌던 20명을 대상으로 하였다. SCC 항원은 환자의 혈청으로부터 면역효소법으로 측정되었고, 2 ng/mL 미만을 정상으로 하였다. 진단, 추적조사, 재발 시의 SCC 항원값을 조사하여, SCC 항원 검사의 재발에 대한 민감도, 재발 양상에 따른 차이, 재발에 대한 증가 시기, 종양의 크기 및 병기와의 관계 등을 조사하였다. 결과 : 재발된 환자 20명 중의 17명에서 SCC 항원이 정상보다 증가되어 SCC 항원의 민감도는 $85\%$였고, 평균은 15.2 ng/mL (중앙값 : 9.5 ng/mL)였다. 재발 부위별로는 국소 재발, 원격전이, 동시에 발생한 경우 등으로 나누어서 SCC 항원을 비교하였으나 차이가 없었다. 재발을 진단하기 전 6개월 내에 SCC 항원이 검사되었던 11명에서 재발전 SCC 항원은 평균이 13.6 ng/mL (중앙값 : 3.6 ng/mL)였고, 7명에서 정상 보다 높았으며, 정상 범위였던 4명 중의 3명에서 1.5 ng/mL 이상으로 증가되는 양상이었다. 재발된 환자들 중에서 진단 시에 SCC 항원이 검사되었던 16명의 환자들에서 병기 Ib, IIa이면서 4 cm 미만이었던 환자들에 비하여 병기 Ib, IIa이면서 4 cm 이상이거나 병기 IIb, III이었던 환자들에서 진단 당시의 SCC 항원값이 높았다. 결론 : 자궁경부 편평상피암 환자들에서 추적조사 SCC 항원 검사는 재발의 조기 발견에 유용하고, 향후 효과적인 구제치료법이 개발되면 임상적인 이득이 더욱 증가될 것으로 생각된다.y 미만과 그 이상인 경우가 $5.1\%$$22.1\%$, 병기 II 이하인 경우와 III 이상인 경우가 $10.5\%$$31.8\%$였다. 다변량분석에서는 icruCREED 만이 유의하였다(0=0.0432). 등급 1 출혈은 자연적으로 소실되거나(3명) $1\~2$개월의 sucralfate 관장으로 멈추었다. 등급 2의 환자 6명은 $1\~2$개월 동안 sucralfate 관장으로 출혈의 빈도와 양이 줄어들었고 이 중 4명은 전기응고술을 추가로 시행하였다. 다른 9명은 전기응고술을 먼저 시행하였다(4명; sucralfate 관장 병행). 모두 $3\~10$개월 내에 정지되었다. 등급 3의 출혈은 잦은 전기응고술과 수혈을 요하였다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 중등도 이상의 직장출혈빈도가 $8.5\%$로 타 문헌에서 보고된 빈도와 유사한 결과였다. 직장에 조사된 총 생물학적 동등선량이 100 Gy 이상인 경우에 직장출혈이 유의하게 증가하므로, 치료계획시 생물학적 동등선량을 고려함으로써 휴유증 감소에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 직장출혈이 발생한 환자에서 조기에 적극적으로 치료를 시행함으로써 출혈로 인한 불편함을 신속하게 해결하고 이로 인한 심리적 불안감을 해소할 수 있으며 나아가 삶의 질 향상에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.절, 복강림프절 그리고 문합부위 등을 모두 포함하는 좀더 넓은 조사면의 치료가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.장암의 국소제어율을 높일 수 있는 치료방법이 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.어율 모두에 유의한 인자는 방사선치료 후 종양반응과 N 병기였다. 결론 : 조기 병기의 성문상부암에서는 통상적인 방사선단독치료로 후두기능을 보존하면서 수술군과 대등한 종양제어율을 보여주었다. 그러나 진행된 병기의 경우에는 수술과 방사선치료의

  • SCC 12와 SCC 13 세포주는 피부의 상피암 조직에서 유래되었다. 본 연구에서는, 세포배양으로 in vivo 피부의 거의 모든 특징들을 재현할 수 있는 raft 배양법을 이용하여, 두 종류의 상피 암세포주의 진피 침투성 정도를 비교해 보았다. SCC 12 세포주의 raft 배양에서는, collagen matrix로 침투하는 많은 세포군들이 관찰되었고, 또한 기저세포와 유사한 세포들이 분화층 중간에 관찰되었다. 그러나 SCC 13 세포주의 raft 배양에서는 침투성 세포들이 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. 어떤 인자가 SCC 12 세포주의 침투성에 관여하였는지를 조사하기 위하여, 세포이동 또는 matrix 파괴에 관여하는 각종 단백질 즉, type 1 collagenase, Fn, Fn 수용체와 EGF 수용체 등의 기본 생합성속도를 침투성과 비침투성 세포주에서 측정하였다. 그 중 type 1 collagenase의 생합성만이 침투성 세포주에서 현저히 높게 나타났다. 침투성 SCC 12 세포주에서 관찰된 높은 type 1 collagenase 생합성과 이들 세포주의 침투성과의 연관관계 및 그 기작을 조사하기 위하여 두 세포주에서 TGF alpha에 대한 반응의 차이를 조사하였다. 비침투성 세포주에서는, TGF alpha에 의해 type 1 collagenase의 생합성이 처음 12시간 동안에 현저한 증가를 보였으나 24시간부터 그 유도가 down-regulation되는 현상을 보였다. 그러나 침투성 세포는 TGF alpha에 의해 계속적인 type 1 collagenase의 유도를 보였다. 이에 저자들은 EGF 수용체의 down-regulation으로 인해 type 1 collagenase의 down-regulation이 유도되고, 이와 같은 regulation의 결함으로 인해 SCC 12 세포주가 collagen matrix로 침투하는 현상을 나타낼 것으로 제시하였다.

  • 본 연구는 낙농가의 소득과 직결된 원유 품질과 관계가 깊은 체세포 수(Somatic Cell Count, SCC)과 주요 우유 성분에 대하여 영향을 미치는 여러 요인 즉 아비 종모우, BLV type의 감수성 여부, 산차, 분만 월, 비유기 등에 대한 효과를 구명하였다. 조사기간은 2001년 1월부터 2004년 3월까지 분만한 홀스타인 젖소로부터 30$\pm$5일의 간격으로 시료를 채취하였으며, 우유성분과 체세포 분석은 Somascope MK2와 Lactoscope FTIR을 이용하여 총 3,897 개의 기록을 분석하였다. 비유기는 비유초기(30일 미만), 최고 비유기(30~60), 비유 중기(60~120), 비유 후기(120~180), 비유 말기(180일 이후)로 편의상 구분하였다. 분석 결과 대부분의 요인들이 모든 비유기에 걸쳐 유의적인 것으로 나타났으나 BLV type은 비유기에 따라서 차이를 나타내었다. 특히, BLV 감수성 여부는 조기에 검사를 통하여 보유 인자를 제거시키는 것이 장기적으로는 축군의 유질의 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 단백질에 대하여 BLV type은 각 비유기에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 산차는 30일 이상에서 영향을 미쳤고, 분만월은 전 유기에 걸쳐 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기타 유성분도 비유기에 따라서 각 각 다른 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
