Purpose: Recent studies have reported on application of fibrin glue composed of fibrinogen and thrombin to nerve anastomosis, which can be another candidate for vessel anastomosis. However, no research regarding the risk and effectiveness of thrombin in microvascular free tissue transfer has been reported. Therefore, the aim of study is to determine the risk and effectiveness of thrombin on microvascular free tissue transfer through clinical cases. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients underwent free flap reconstruction for soft tissue defect or bone exposure in our institute from March 2011 to February 2014. In the group using thrombin, dissolved powder thrombin (5,000 IU/amp) was mixed with 10 mL normal saline. Saline mixed with thrombin was applied on the flap, recipient, and around vessel anastomosis. In the control group, free flap was performed using the same method, except using thrombin. We analyzed the results between the two groups. Results: All flaps survived. The group using thrombin included 14 patients and the control group included 11 patients. Hematoma was found in two cases, respectively, in each group. The group using thrombin showed lower incidence of hematoma than the control group. No difference in survival rate of the flap was observed between the thrombin group and the control group. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that use of saline mixed with thrombin in free tissue transfer may be safe and effective for prevention of hematoma formation in the recipient site.

Bisphenol A is considered as pollutant, because it is toxic and hazardous to living organisms even at very low concentrations. Biological oxidation used for removing this organic from waste water is not suitable and consequently application of catalytic wet oxidation has been considered as one of the best options for treating bisphenol A. We have developed Fe/SBA-15, Ni/SBA-15 and Fe-Ni/SBA-15 as heterogeneous catalysts using the advanced impregnation method for oxidation of bisphenol A in water. The catalysts were characterized with physico-chemical characterization methods such as, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR measurements, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis. This work illustrates activity of the catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic degradation reaction revealed with excellent conversion and recyclability. The degradation products identified were not persistent pollutants. GC-MS analysis identified the products: 2,4-hexadienedioic acid, 2,4-pentadienic acid and isopropanol or acetic acid. The leachability study indicated that the catalysts release very little metals to water. Therefore, the possibility of water contamination through metal leaching was almost negligible.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of Co, Co-Ti addition on the sintering characteristic of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ material synthesized by the direct nitriding method for a application as a cermet material. The observed shrinkage rates of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellets increase with the additive (Co, Co-Ti) content, temperature and time, and also the pellets with the same additive content exhibit the shrinkage behavior that depends on the Ti/Al ratio. However, although the shrinkage rates in this study is the mast higher (36%), the density of the sintered $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellet is below 80% density in theory because of the partial segregation and the dense band defect of AlCo compound. Consequentely, it is considered that Co was not effective as a binder material because the wettability of liquid Co metal on $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ materials is poor, In $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ with Ti-Co additive, the stoichiometric TiN is transformed by the under-stoichiometric TiNx(x<1.0) during sintering, leading to the good properties such as hardnees and hot oxidation.

A copper-based metal organic framework (MOF) named Cu-BTC, also known as HKUST-1, was successfully synthesized by using a solvothermal method. The properties of the Cu-BTC sample were characterized with Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase structure, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for thermal stability, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for crystal structure, and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption for pore textural structure. The analysis results displayed that the Cu-BTC sample exhibited a good crystal structure with uniform size of octahedral particles. The BET data revealed a high surface area of $1457 \;m^2g^{-1}$ and a pore volume of $0.60\; cm^3g^{-1}$. The Cu-BTCs ample was also studied for $CO_2$ adsorption and exhibited a maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of 170 mg/g of the sorbent (3.8 mol/kg) at $25^{\circ}C$.

Nanostructured Ag thin films could be facilely prepared by soaking glass substrates in ethanolic solutions containing $Ag_2O$ powders at an elevated temperature. The formation of zero-valent Ag was corroborated using X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The deposition of Ag onto a glass substrate was readily controlled simply by changing the reaction time. Due to the aggregated structures of Ag, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra of benzenethiol could be clearly identified using the Ag-coated glass. The enhancement factor at 514.5 nm excitation estimated using benzenethiol reached $1.0{\times}10^5$ while the detection limit of rhodamine 6G was found to be as low as $1.0{\times}10^{-13}$ M. Since this one-pot fabrication method is eco-friendly and is suitable for the mass production of diverse Ag films, it is expected to play a significant role in the development of surface plasmon-based analytical devices.

Porous Ti compacts were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) method and their in vitro and in vivo biocompatibilities were investigated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity representing the activity of osteoblast was increased when osteoblast-like MG-63 cells were cultured on the Ti powder surface. Some genes related to cell growth were over-expressed through microarray analysis. The porous Ti compact with 32.2% of porosity was implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of rats to confirm in vivo cytotoxicity. 12 weeks post-operation, outer surface and inside the porous body was fully filled with fibrous tissue and the formation of new blood vessels were observed. No inflammatory response was confirmed. To investigate the osteoinduction, porous Ti compact was implanted in the femur of NZW rabbits for 4 months. Active in-growth of new bone from the surrounded compact bone was observed around the porous body. From the results, The porous Ti compacts fabricated by spark plasma sintering might be available for the application of the stem part of artificial hip joint.

1998~2000년에 걸쳐 담배포장에서 거세비나방류 피해와 방제 실태를 조사하고 효율적인 방제 대책을 제시하였다. 담배 산지에서 거세미나방류 피해를 조사하고 경작자와 면담한 결과 거세미나방류 피해는 대체로 경비하였으며, 방제를 요하는 것으로 추정되는 포장은 조사포장 중 9.0~10.2%였으나, 대부분의 면담자들이 담배 이식 전 또는 이식 당시 입제의 살충제를 살포한다고 하였다. 피해발생시기 및 가해습성에 관한 조사 결과로 미루어보면 이식 후 약 2% 이상의 피해주율을 보인 포장에서 유제 또는 수화제를 담배의 지제부 및 주변 토양에 분무하는 것이 보다 효율적인 방제법으로 판단된다.

In this study, nickel-coated aluminum (Ni/Al) powders were synthesized for the utilization of energetic applications. Oxide materials present at the surface of Al powders of $45{\mu}m$ in averaged size were removed by using sodium hydroxide(NaOH) solution which is used for controlling pH. Nickel material is coated into the surface of oxide-removed Al powders by electroless-plating process. The microstructure of fabricated Ni/Al powders shows that nickel layers with a few hundreds nm were very homogeneously formed onto the surface of Al powders. The oxidation behavior of Ni/Al exihibit somewhat faster oxidation rate than that of pure Al with surface oxidation. Also, the higher exothermic reaction was observed from the Ni/Al powders. From the result of this, nickel coating is very promising method to obtain highly reactive and safe Al powders for energetic applications.

We synthesized nano-sized $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ ($x=0.1{\sim}0.4$) cathode catalyst for the zinc air secondary batteries by citrate method, And we measured the cathode's electrochemical characteristics according to content of strontium compose the cathode catalyst. We controlled the pH of precursor solution by 10 in the process of manufacturing the precursor, We heat treated the prepared precursor at various calcination temperature ($500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$), and examined the optimum calcinations temperature by XRD analysis and electrochemical evaluation. We examined the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) and OER (oxygen evolution reaction) performance of the prepared $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ catalyst powder. When we consider ORR and OER performance simultaneously, $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}CoO_3$ catalyst has shown the best performance because of its lowest voltage deference between charge and discharge.
