콘크리트는 충격 및 폭발에 대한 저항능력이 우수한 재료이지만, 국부적인 파괴가 발생하는 한계가 있다. 콘크리트의 방호성능 향상기법은 기존에는 부재의 두께를 증가시키는 것이었으나, 이는 공간의 활용에 있어 비효율 적이다. 최근에는 섬유보강 콘크리트는 콘크리트 자체의 휨인성을 증가시켜, 충격 및 폭발에 대한 저항능력을 향상시킨 방호재료의 개발 및 적용이 고려되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 섬유보강 콘크리트 및 모르타르에 대하여 고속 비상체의 충돌에 의한 내충격 성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 방호벽으로 활용할 수 있는 콘크리트 T-wall을 제작하여 155 mm 포탄의 파편에 대한 방호성능을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 섬유보강으로 인한 휨 인성의 향상은 고속 비상체의 충돌에 의한 배면박리를 억제하는 것으로 나타났으며 155 mm 포탄의 파편 충돌에 있어 배면균열 및 표면의 콘크리트의 박락 등이 억제되어 섬유보강으로 인하여 방호벽의 성능 향상 및 부재두께를 감소할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The role of antibody in the fungal infections is controversial. However, our previous reports showed a certain epitope in Candida albicans cell wall (CACW) induces protective antibody. A major problem is that the epitope isolation requires tremendous time with high cost. This aspect led us to investigate a simple way inducing protective antibodies against C. albicans. In the present study, we determined if $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid ($18{\beta}$-GA) from Glabrae Radix (a family of Leguminosae) has immunoadjuvant activity. Data displayed that the $18{\beta}$-GA suppressed proliferations of both T- and Blymphocytes at high concentrations, whereas below 20 ${\mu}M$ concentration the compound supported the proliferations. These observations indicate that $18{\beta}$-GA has immunoregulatory activity. Based on this observation, an immunoadjuvant effect was examined at the low concentration. Results from animal experiments showed that CACW combined with or without $18{\beta}$-GA produced the anti-C. albicans antiserum in mice. Nevertheless, the CACW combined with $18{\beta}$-GA formula only protected mice against disseminated candidiasis (P<0.05). These data implicate that $18{\beta}$-GA has immunoadjuvant activity, which may provoke the CACW antigen to induce protective antibody. Currently, we are investigating possible mechanism of how the $18{\beta}$-GA provokes such protective immunity against the disseminated disease.

In this study, it was evaluated the protective performance of the protection material for filed of the army by impact of fragment from the explosion of 155mm artillery shell to propose the improvement items. And it was evaluated the protection materials for structural boby such as corrugated steel plate, concrete block, prevention paint of explosion, aluminum foam and concrete T-wall by impact of fragment of 155mm artillery shells and explosion-induced pressure of C-4 explosive. As a result, protective performance of the existing protective material was superior but reinforcement is necessary for secondary damage because sand is leaking. The protective performance of new protective materials was greater than existing protective materials. And it can be used for protective materials.

We investigated the biomechanical properties of a newly designed self-expansion type anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anchor. The ACL anchor consists of the ring section giving the elastic force, the wedge for maintaining in contact with the femur tunnel wall and the link suspending hamstring graft or artificial ligament. The main design parameters that determine the performance of this device were the expansion angle (${\theta}$) and the thickness ($t_R$). The Ti6Al4V anchors were heated after inserting in a jig for 1 hour at $800^{\circ}C$ in a protective argon gas atmosphere and allowed to cool to room temperature in the furnace. In order to investigate the influence of the expansion angle and the thickness of the ring on the biomechanical properties of the anchor, the maximum pull-out load, stiffness and slippage of the ACL anchor were measured using the pull-out tester, and statistical analyses were also executed. The present results showed that the design parameters gave a significant effect on the performance of the self- expansion type of anchor. The pull-out load of the ACL anchors significantly increased as the thickness of the ring section was increased, having a similar trend for both expansion angles. The ACL anchor showed about 2.5 times higher values of the pull-out load than that of the minimum load (500N)required for the "accelerated rehabilitation". The optimum ${\theta}$ and $t_R$ values of this ACL anchor were suggested to have sufficient resistance against the pull-out force, high stiffness and relatively low slippage after ACL reconstruction.
