Recently, there have been attempts to obstruct the dentinal tubules and remove the smear layer by way of laser irradiation in the root canal during endodontic treatment. This treatment was designed to make the root canal to be nonporous. Using 33 extracted single rooted teeth, 30 teeth were divided into 3 groups (10 each), and 3 teeth were used as samples for SEM. Using Nd : YAG laser, the control group was not irradiated, experimental group l(1W group) was irradiated with 1W, 15pps, 15sec., 3 times, 6.7mJ and experimental group 2(3W group) was irradiated with 3W, 15pps, 15sec., 3 times 20mJ. Thereafter the roots were immersed in methylene blue for 8 hours, and the dye infiltration pattern was observed under stereomicroscope and canal wall surface change was observed under SEM. The results are as following ; 1. As a result of evaluating the dye infiltration rate of the apical and middle 1/3, there was significant difference between control group and 1W group, control group and 3W group and there was no significant difference between 1 W group and 3W group. 2. In each group, as a result of comparing the dye infiltration rate of the apical and middle 1/3, there was no significant difference in control and 1W group but significant difference in 3W group. 3. In the control group smear layer was scarecely found and many dentinal tubules were found to be open. 4. In the 1W group, the number of dentinal tubules were decreased and gradual changes of the dentin surface could be seen and 3W group, almost no dentinal tubules could be found and the dentin surface was changed a little more and showed signs of partial fusion.

The phytopathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is a major limiting factor in rice production. To understand the genetic basis of M. oryzae pathogenic development, we previously analyzed a library of T-DNA insertional mutants of M. oryzae, and identified ATMT0879A1 as one of the pathogenicity-defective mutants. Molecular analyses and database searches revealed that a single TDNA insertion in ATMT0879A1 resulted in functional interference with an annotated gene, MGG00056, which encodes a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR). The mutant and annotated gene were designated as $MoSDR1^{T-DNA}$ and MoSDR1, respectively. Like other SDR family members, MoSDR1 possesses both a cofactor-binding motif and a catalytic site. The expression pattern of MoSDR1 suggests that the gene is associated with pathogenicity and plays an important role in M. oryzae development. To understand the roles of MoSDR1, the deletion mutant ${\Delta}Mosdr1$ for the gene was obtained via homology-dependent gene replacement. As expected, ${\Delta}Mosdr1$ was nonpathogenic; moreover, the mutant displayed pleiotropic defects in conidiation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, penetration, and growth inside host tissues. These results suggest that MoSDR1 functions as a key metabolic enzyme in the regulation of development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae.

Microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere play a pivotal role in the functioning and maintenance of soil ecosystems. The study of rhizospheric cyanobacteria has been hampered by the difficulty to culture and maintain them in the laboratory. The present work investigated the production of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the potential of biofilm formation on the rhizoplane of pea plants by two cyanobacterial strains, isolated from rice rhizosphere. The unicellular cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 that were isolated from a rice rhizosphere, were investigated. Production of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 was measured under experimental conditions (pH and light). The bioactivity of the cyanobacterial auxin was demonstrated through the alteration of the rooting pattern of Pisum sativum seedlings. The increase in the concentration of L-tryptophan and the time that this amino acid was present in the medium resulted in a significant enhancement of the synthesis of IAA (r > 0.900 at p = 0.01). There was also a significant correlation between the concentration of IAA in the supernatant of the cyanobacteria cultures and the root length and number of the pea seedlings. Observations made by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the presence of cyanobacteria on the surface of the roots and also provided evidence for the penetration of the cyanobacteria in the endorhizosphere. We show that the synthesis of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 occurs under different environmental conditions and that the auxin is important for the development of the seedling roots and for establishing an intimate symbiosis between cyanobacteria and host plants.

The restorations of the severely damaged teeth by post core have been increased with the developement of endodontic procedures. But high failure rates of these procedures being reported, various restorative modifications were induced for successful treatments. Cast post-core and prefabricated post with core buildups are choice of treatment. The main causes of failure of the restorations are the fracture of post and core, root fracture, and recurrent caries due to microleakage. Recently, the acid etching technique and the use of dentin bonding agent at tooth surface to reduce the possible microleakage at the tooth-restoration interfaces were introduced. The object of this study was to measure and compare the microleakage by the types and cementation methods of post-core. For this study, forty extracted human anterior teeth were selected for specimen. After cleansing and routine endodontic procedures, anatomic crowns of each specimen were removed at the level of 2mm above the cementoenamel junction. Canals were preparated for post insertion and specimens were divided into four groups randomly. Post-cores were fabricated according to method for each group. Microleakage was measured by length of dye penetration at the tooth-restoration interfaces with measuring microscope at 50 magnification. Oneway ANOVA and t-test were performed for statistical analysis of resulting data. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. There wert significant statistical differences in degree of microleakage between each group (p<0.01). 2. Cast post-core cemented with ZPC (Group I) showed the most severe microleakage pattern$(1.5547{\pm}0.0872mm)$, and cast post-core cemented with adhesive resin cement after tooth surface treatment with dentin bonding agent (Group II) showed the least microleakage $(0.1497{\pm}0.0872mm)$. 3. Group IV revealed less dye penetrations than group III, but no statistical significance was seen between two groups.

순수한 전기장 하에서의 뼈와 유사한 재료의 절연파괴에 대하여 연구하였다. 일반적으로 뼈와 유사한 재료는 강한 유전강도를 가지는 층과 약한 유전강도를 가지는 층이 서로 평행하게 엇갈려 있는 형태로 구성되어 있다. 뼈와 유사한 재료의 약한 층을 관통하는 전도채널의 성장은 전기장의 집중이 완화되기 때문에 지연된다. 관형채널의 선단에서 전기장의 분포를 유한요소해석을 통해 구하였다. 뼈와 유사한 재료의 절연강도를 J 적분을 사용하여 계산하였고, 절연강도에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 찾아내었다. J 적분은 약한 층에서의 절연파괴 면적이 증가할 수록 작아짐을 보였다. 또한, 약한 층과 강한 층의 유전율의 비가 절연파괴에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 뿌리썩이선충(Pratylenchus vulnus)이 옥수수뿌리조직을 침입했을 때, 조직의 해부학적.생화학적 변화를 밝힘으로써 식물과 선충의 상호관계를 이해하고, 이들 정보를 바탕으로 선충저항성 작물의 육종 및 선별에 활용하기 위함이다. 옥수수뿌리 표피를 뚫고 들어온 선충은 뿌리 피층에 자리를 잡고, 세포벽을 파괴하면서 다른 세포로 이동한다. 마침내 선충들은 피층의 내피와 세근의 기부에 밀집했다. P.vuinus의 암컷들은 세포내에 공간(cavity)을 형성하여 그 속에 알을 낳는 습성을 지니고 있다. 선충에 의한 주된 피해양상은 세포벽이 파괴되고 부서져서 공간을 형성하는 것으로 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 세근의 기부에서도 관찰된다. 선충의 피해로 야기된 옥수수 뿌리의 생화학적 변화는 선충접종구와 무접종구간 총단백질양과 esterase활력조사를 통해 비교.분석되었다. Denaturing gel 상에서 총단백질양의 비교는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았고, esterase 의 pattern 및 활력에서도 유의할 만한 차이는 발견되지 않았다.

In Asia, sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a very important crop for starch production. Approximately 74.3% of the total sweet potato production quantity is produced in Asia (FAO, 2014) and China is the largest producer of sweet potato. Post-harvest management is particularly important because it is difficult to maintain the quality as well as quantity of sweet potatoes. Despite the importance of post-harvest management, researches on sweet potato have been focused on production-related study such as breeding of new variety, improved techniques of cultivation, so there is limited research on storage after harvest. Curing is a normal practice after sweet potato harvest to promote wound healing and extend postharvest storage life. In Korea, harvested sweet potatoes are usually cured for 4 to 7 days at $30-33^{\circ}C$ and 80-95% relative humidity within one week. Since the optimum storage temperature of sweet potato is regarded as $15-20^{\circ}C$, additional facilities and costs are required to raise the temperature for curing. However, the majority of small farmers do not have the capacity to provide additional facilities and costs. This study was initiated to suggest a new curing method to accelerate the wound healing by applying chemical oxidation to the wound surface of sweet potato. Oxidative stress is known to play an important role in the synthesis of secondary metabolites including lignin. In addition, chemical oxidation can be applied to prevent spoilage caused by microorganisms. Powerful gaseous oxidant with excellent penetration ability and superior sterilization effect was selected for this study. Lignification, weight loss, and spoilage rate of artificially wounded sweet potatoes were investigated after oxidant fumigation. There were clear differences in morphological analysis such as lignification pattern, lignin deposition color, and continuity of lignified cell layers between oxidant-fumigated sweet potatoes and control. These results show that gaseous oxidant can be used to supplement or replace the curing practice, to improve shelf-life as well as curing cost reduction.

재료는 방사선과 상호작용을 통해 그 물리적, 화학적 특성이 변화하며 여러 방사선 중에서 전하를 띄고 있지 않아 침투깊이가 깊은 중성자 조사에 의한 금속소재의 조사손상은 원자력발전소의 안전과 관련해서 오랜 기간 동안 집중적인 연구대상이었다. 중성자 조사에 의한 조사손상은 초반 피코 초 스케일에서 벌어지는 원자단위의 점결함의 생성으로 시작되며 그 이후의 전개 양상은 전위 고리나 공극과 같은 미세구조상 결함으로 확인될 수 있다. 이러한 미세구조 상 결함의 형상과 분포에 따라 소재의 특성에 미치는 효과는 상이하게 된다. 그러므로 중성자 조건에 따른 미세구조를 예측하는 것은 매우 중요한 일로, 본 논문에서는 중성자 조사에 의한 재료 내의 미세구조 발달에 대해 리뷰한 뒤 조사된 소재의 미세구조 변화 예측에 널리 사용될 수 있는 상장 모델에 대해 간략히 소개하였다.
