폴리(비닐 알코올)과 1-{4-(4'-시아노페닐아조)펜옥시}알킬브롬들(CAFBn, n=$2{\sim}10$)을 이용하여 곁사슬형 액정 동족체들인 폴리 [1-(4-(4'-시아노페닐아조)펜옥시알킬옥시)에틸렌]들(CAFETn, n=$2{\sim}10$, 유연격자중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정 특성을 검토하였다. n=$2{\sim}5$인 CAPBn은 액정 상들을 형성하지 않는 반면 CAPB6 그리고 n=$7{\sim}10$인 CAPBn들은 각각 쌍방성 그리고 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성 하였다. 이러한 사실과 판이하게, CAPETn 고분자들 중에서 CAPET5만이 쌍방성 네마틱 상을 형성하는 반면 나머지 고분자들은 단방성 네미틱 상들을 형성하였다. CAPETn들의 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도들 그리고 CAPBn들에 비해 큰 값들을 갖는 CAPETn들의 상 전이시의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 전형적인 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 상 전이 거동들을 Imrie에 의한 'virtual trimer model'의 견지에서 검토하였다. CAPETn들의 액정 상의 특성들은 폴리아크릴레이트, 폴리메타크릴레이트 그리고 폴리스티렌에 (시아노페닐아조)펜옥시 그룹들을 플리메틸렌 유연격자들을 통하여 연결시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과와 크게 달랐다. 이러한 결과들은 주사슬과 곁사슬 그룹의 화학적 결합양식이 액정 상의 형성능, 안정성 그리고 구조에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

폴리 [1-{4-(4'-니트로페닐아조)페녹시카보널알카노일옥시}에틸렌]들(NAPEn, n=$2{\sim}8$,10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)의 동족체들의 열방성 액정 거동을 검토하였다. 모든 동족체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 유리전이온도들은 n이 증가함에 따라 낮아졌다. 이러한 사실은 곁사슬 그룹들에 의한 주사슬의 가소화에 의해 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도들은 n이 7까지는 낮아지며 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 n>7인 동족체들의 전이온도는 거의 일정하게 되었다. 이러한 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 기인한 곁사슬의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. 전이온도에서 관찰되는 엔트로피 증가의 변화도 동일한 관점에서 설명된다. NAPEn이 나타내는 액정 특성들은 폴리아크릴레이트, 폴리메타크릴레이트 그리고 폴리스틸렌에 아조벤젠 그룹들을 폴리메틸렌 유연격자들을 통하여 연결시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과와 전혀 달랐다. 이러한 결과들은 주사슬과 곁사슬의 화학적 결합양식이 액정상의 형성능, 안정성 그리고 구조에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

A copolymer P[OSA-MI] was synthesized by copolymerization of its corresponding monomers, N-phenyl maleimide (MI) and 2-octen-l-ylsuccinic anhydride (OSA). The polymer (poly[2-[1-(2,5-dioxo-l-phenylpyrroli­din-3-ylmethyl)heptyl]-succinic acid 4-(2-$\{$ethyl-[4-(4-nitrophen-ylazo)phenyl]amino$\}$ethyl)ester]) P[DR1MA-MI] was obtained from the reaction of P[OSA-MI] with 2-[4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-N-ethylphenylamino] ethanol (DR1). A stable monolayer of P[DRIMA-MI] was formed by spreading the solution of the polymer in chloroform. In Y-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films prepared using this Langmuir-Blodgett method, the second harmonic waves generated from adjacent mono layers canceled each other out. In X-and Z-type LB films, the second harmonic intensity increased upon increasing the number of monolayers, but this increase was somewhat smaller than predicted by the square law. This phenomenon is due to defects or imperfect alignment of the dipoles in the LB film. The generation of second harmonic waves from Y-type LB films having an even number of mono layers supports this argument. The degree of imperfection seemed to increase as the number of layers increased. The second-order nonlinear optical properties of spin-cast films of these polymers were also measured. The largest second harmonic coefficient of the poled P[DRIMA-MI] film coated on a glass plate was 19 pm/V.

목 적 : 사회경제적 환경의 변화로 첫 아이를 출산하는 어머니의 연령이 늦어지고 있다. 많은 연구자들이 첫 아이를 출산하는 어머니의 연령이 늦어지는 것과 저체중출생아의 출생율과의 관계에 대해 연구하였으나 아직 일치된 연구결과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구자들은 산모의 연령이 저체중출생아의 출생률에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2001년부터 2003년까지 통계청의 인구동태자료 중 출생기록에 등록된 1,545,338명 중 단태아면서 첫 번째 아이인 736,167명을 대상으로 저체중출생아와 극소저체중출생아의 출생률에 대해 어머니의 나이, 직업, 학력, 결혼유무, 거주지, 결혼 기간, 아버지의 직업과의 관계를 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결 과 : 산모의 연령에 따라 저체중출생아가 출생할 위험률은 30-34세, 35-40세, 40세 이상의 초산부는 25세에서 29세의 초산부에 비해 각각 1.3배, 2.1배, 2.4배 높게 나타났으며 어머니의 직업, 학력, 결혼유무, 거주지, 결혼 기간, 아버지의 직업 등을 감안하여도 1.3배, 1.9배, 2.0배로 모두 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 산모의 연령에 따라 극소체중출생아가 출생할 위험률은 30-34세, 40-44세, 45세 이상의 초산부는 25세에서 29세의 초산부에 비해 각각 1.8배, 3.3배, 3.7배 높게 나타났으며 어머니의 직업, 학력, 결혼유무, 거주지, 결혼 기간, 아버지의 직업 등을 보정하여도 1.6배, 2.7배, 2.6배로 모두 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 각각의 산모의 연령과 교육 정도, 결혼유무에 따른 저체중출생아의 출생률을 비교하였을 때 30대의 고등학교 졸업 이상이고 기혼인 산모에서 저체중출생아의 출생률(3.7%)은 20대의 고등학교 졸업이상이고 기혼인 산모보다 더 낮았다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 산모가 나이가 많아질수록 저체중출생아와 극소저체중출생아가 출생할 위험률이 높으며 어머니의 직업, 학력, 결혼유무, 거주지, 결혼 기간, 아버지의 직업 등을 고려하여도 높다. 하지만 나이가 많은 산모라도 사회경제적 환경이 개선된 다면 저체중출생아의 출생률을 줄일 수 있고 사료된다.

N개의 $\sigma$결합으로 분리되어 있는 분자내 두 비결합 궤도함수(nonbonding orbital)간의 상호작용을 PMO론적으로 고찰하기 위하여 질소, 산소 및 황화합물에 대하여 반경험적인 CNDO/2 및 ab initio(STO-3G 수준) 계산을 수행하였다. 각 사슬형 및 고리형 화합물에 대한 기저준위의 에너지, orbital 상호작용에 의한 에너지준위 분리 및 상호작용 에너지 변화에 대한 계산 결과는 섭동론적 에너지항으로 만족스럽게 설명될 수 있었다. 질소 및 산소화합물에서는 through-space 상호작용 에너지항으로서 계산결과가 만족스럽게 설명될 수 있었다. 이 경우 N이 홀수인 계에서는 n-준위가 n+준위보다 안정화되었고 N이 짝수인 계에서는 n+준위가 n-준위보다 안정화되었다. 이 때의 에너지 분리는 홀수계에서 더 큰 결과를 보였다. 그러나 cis-ethylene diamine과 o-phenylene diamine(Table 4의 구조 VI)에서는 through-space 상호작용의 기여가 무시될 수 없었고 그 결과 홀수계에서 에너지 준위의 순서가 뒤바뀌게 되었으며 에너지분리도 짝수계에서 더 큰 결과를 보였다. 끝으로 황화합물에서는 항상 through-space 상호작용의 기여가 무시될 수 없었다. 이 결과는 3주기 원소인 황의 크기가 2주기 원소인 질소 및 산소보다 크다는 사실과 일치하고 있다.

Two series of carbon sources, linear primary $C_1$~$C_9$ alcohols and linear $C_2$~$C_{10}$ monocarboxylic acids were tested for PHA synthesis in Paracoccus denitrificans. The results showed that the growth-associated synthesis of PHA could be referred only to the carbon sources with odd number of carbon except methanol. For all carbon sources with even number of carbon, nitrogen limitation was required to induce PHA synthesis in P. denitrificans. Poly(3-hydroxyvalerate)[P(3HV)] homopolymer was synthesized from $C_5$, $C_7$, and $C_9$ while growing in the presence of nitrogen, but the nitrogen depletion in the later growth period incorporated 3-hydroxybutyrate(3HB) unit into the polymer chain. The optimum C/N ratio for P(3HV) homopolymer production was found to be 10 when the strain was grown on 10 ml/l of valeric acid for 96 h. P. denitrificans synthesized P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymers from n-hexanoic and n-octanoic acid. The microstructural characterics of the P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymer from n-propanol was investigated using $^13C$-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, showing a structural heterogeneity.

A series of new liquid crystalline dimesogenic compounds with chiral tails was synthesized, and their thermal and liquid crystalline properties were studied. The chain length of the central polymethylene spacers (x) was varied from dimethylene (2) to decamethylene (12). These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and cross-polarizing microscopy. All compounds were found to be enantiotropically liquid crystalline, and the values of melting ($T_m$) and isotropization temperature ($T_i$) as well as enthalpy change (Δ$H_i$) and entropy change for isotropization (Δ$S_i$) decreased in a zig-zag fashion revealing the so-called odd-even effect as x increases. Their mesomorphic properties fall into three categories depending upon x; (a) compounds with x=2 and 4 formed two different mesophases, smectic and cholesteric phases in that order on heating, and vice versa on cooling, (b) compounds with x=3, 7, 8, 10 and 11 reversibly formed only the cholesteric phase, and (c) compounds with x=5, 6, 9 and 12 exhibited only a cholesteric phase on heating, whereas on cooling they formed two different mesophases, cholesteric and smectic phases, sequentially.

Objective: Health risk appraisal is often utilized to modify individual's health behavior, especially concerning disease prevention, and web-based health risk appraisal services are being provided to the general public in Korea. However, little is known about the psychological effect of the health risk appraisal even though poorly communicated information by the web-based service may result in unintended adverse health outcomes. This study was conducted to explore the psychological effect of health risk appraisal using epidemiological risk factor profile. Methods: We conducted a randomized trial comparing risk factor list type health risk appraisal and risk score type health risk appraisal. We studied 60 women aged 30 years and older who had no cancer. Anxiety level was assessed using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory YZ. Results: The results of multivariate analysis showed that risk status was the independent predictors of increase of state anxiety after health risk appraisal intervention when age, education, health risk appraisal type, numeracy, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and health risk appraisal type by risk status interaction was adjusted. Women who had higher risk status had an odd of having increased anxiety that was about 5 times greater than women who had lower risk status. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that communicating the risk status by individual health risk appraisal service can induce psychological sequelae, especially in women having higher risk status. Hospitals, institutes, or medical schools that are operating or planning to operate the online health risk appraisal service should take side effects such as psychological sequelae into consideration.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of providing toothbrushing by professionals as part of oral hygiene education for the elderly. We randomly visited 12 centers in the metropolitan city and analyzed the data of 114 participants among 310 early registrants aged >65 years, who participated in the study at all 3 time points. The subjects were categorized into an experimental group (odd-numbered visits) and a control group (even-numbered visits). Oral hygiene practices were provided for both experimental and control groups, but professional toothbrushing was performed in a different manner in the experimental group. Differences in plaque index (PI) according to the subjects' general characteristics and oral health status were assessed using the t-test, and the effect of PI difference between the experimental and control groups was assessed by repeated measure two-way analysis of variance. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to analyze factors affecting the PI. At baseline, the mean overall PI was 61.82. In both experimental and control groups, the PI significantly reduced from the baseline (p<0.01). At 5 weeks, the experimental group showed a decrease of 27.16 points from the baseline, and the 10-week PI was similar to the 5-week PI. The control group showed a decrease of 14.87 points from the baseline, and the PI increased by 5.74 points at 10 weeks. PI-related factors were gender and self-xerostomia. The PI was lower in the female group and the group with self- xerostomia (p<0.01). It is important to select an appropriate method to educate elderly subjects on proper removal of dental plaque and to habituate correct behavior, which requires inclusion of a direct toothbrushing intervention by a specialist.

Objectives: Although cigarette smoking is known to be related to the exacerbation of asthma symptoms, several studies have indicated that the prevalence of cigarette smoking among asthmatic adolescents is similar to or even higher than that among non-asthmatic adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between asthma and cigarette use behaviors and whether or not the presence of suicidal ideation modifies this relationship among Korean adolescents. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2008 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, which included a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students. Multiple logistic regression models were used to calculate odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals of cigarette use behaviors among current asthmatics, former asthmatics, and nonasthmatics, after adjusting for gender, grade, school records, socioeconomic status, current alcohol use, and suicidal ideation. Results: Of 75 238 study participants, 3.5% were current asthmatics and 4.5% were former asthmatics. Compared with non-asthmatics, asthmatics were more likely to report current cigarette use, frequent and heavy cigarette use, and cigarette use before 13 years of age. There were statistically significant interactions between asthma and suicidal ideation in cigarette use behaviors. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that asthmatic adolescents are more likely than non-asthmatic adolescents to engage in cigarette use behaviors and the presence of suicidal ideation is an effect modifier of the relationship between asthma and cigarette use behaviors. Particular attention should be paid to the awareness of health risks of cigarette smoking and mental health problems among asthmatic adolescents.
