The anticancer effect and apoptotic mechanism of a novel indole derivative AC-264, a lead derived from a chemical library, were investigated in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. HL-60 cells treated with AC-264 at various concentrations showed the morphological features of apoptosis, such as plasma membrane blebbing and cell shrinkage. AC-264 exhibited cytotoxic effect in various cancer cell lines with different degrees of potency. Especially, AC-264 was effective on increasing the population of apoptotic cells in HL-60 cells, as detected by the number of cells stained with Annexin V and PI. Furthermore, AC-264 activated caspase-3 enzyme activity and induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. These results indicated that AC-264 produces anti-cancer effect via apoptotic cell death by activating caspase-3 and inducing internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in HL-60 cells.

The change of creep deformation mechanism due to the persistent change of stress conditions requires the constitutive relation for the analysis of long tenn behaviors considering age dependent material properties of concrete. In the present research, the process of time dependent behaviors in structure is divided into two stages; the non-mechanical deforming level which causes creep and shrinkage deformations, and the mechanical deforming level which causes mechanical deformations by the restraints of non-mechanical deformations due to internal or external factors. The incremental constitutive relation is derived by expanding the total stress-strain relation on the present time, with respect to the reference time using the Taylor series, and the modulus of elasticity in early ages of concrete was defined thru this process.

A new process which co-fires the low-firing-substrate and copper conductor was studied to achieve good bond strength and low sheet resistance of conductor. Cupric oxide is used as the precursor of conductive material in the new method and the firing atmosphere of the new process is changed sequently in air H2N2. The addition of cupric oxide and variations of firing atmosphere permited complete binder-burnout in comparison with the conventional method and contributed to the improvement of resistance and bonding behaviors. The potimum conditions of this experiment to obtain the satisfactory resistance and bond strength are as follows (binder-burnout temperature in air; 55$0^{\circ}C$, reducing temperature in H2; 40$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, ratio of copper and cupric oxide; 60:40~30:70 wt%). The bonding mechanism between the substrate and metal was explained by metal diffusion layer in the interface and the bond strength mainly depended on the stress caused by the difference of shrinkage and thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate and metal.

When the final finish of a building is designed with base concrete, complex deterioration occurs due to the harsh environment such as shrinkage and expansion due to external temperature changes, freezing and thawing, and the use of calcium chloride due to snow accumulation. Therefore, the pozzolanic reaction mechanism of blast furnace slag is clearly identified, and the causal relationship between the material properties and performance of the blast furnace slag is identified to present guidelines for mixing high-durability concrete.

The effects of Cu on feeding and macro-porosity characteristics were investigated in hypo- (A356 and 319) and hypereutectic (391) aluminum-silicon alloys. T-section and Tatur tests showed that the feeding and macro-porosity characteristics were significantly different between the hypo- and hypereutectic alloys. The hole and the pipe in the T-section and the Tatur casting in hypereutectic alloy showed a rough and irregular shape due to the faceted growth of the primary silicon, while the results of the hypoeutectic alloys exhibited a rather smooth surface. However, the addition of Cu did not strongly affect the macro-feeding behavior. It is known that copper segregates and interferes the feeding process in the last stage of solidification, possibly leading to form more amount of micro shrinkage porosity by the addition of Cu. The macro porosity formation mechanism and feeding properties were discussed upon T-section and Tatur tests together with an alloying addition.

We investigated the effect of ZnO filler on the microstructure of $BaO-B_2O_3-ZnO-P_2O_5$ glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The sintering behavior of composites heated in the temperature range $560-600^{\circ}C$ was studied by volumetric shrinkage rate and microstructure. The etching test was carried out in $HNO_3$ solution at $50^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The volumetric shrinkage of sintered sample decreased with the increased firing temperature because of the formation of two crystals. Glass and ZnO filler react forming the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phases during the sintering process. Etching phenomenon of sintered samples by $HNO_3$ showed that the $BaZn_2(PO_4)_2$ crystal phase was strongly leached compared to glass matrix, crystal phases and fillers. Therefore, the control of interface by condition of sintering is so important to achieve etching effect in barrier ribs.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exert antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses by various mechanisms. AMPs commonly possess particular characteristics by harboring cationic and amphipathic structures and binding to cell membranes, resulting in the leakage of essential cell contents by forming pores or disturbing lipid organization. These membrane disruptive mechanisms of AMPs are possible to explain according to the various structure forming pores in the membrane. Some AMPs inhibit DNA and/or RNA synthesis as well as apoptosis induction by reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Specifically, mitochondria play a major role in the apoptotic pathway. During apoptosis induced by AMPs, cells undergo cytochrome c release, caspase activation, phosphatidylserine externalization, plasma or mitochondrial membrane depolarization, DNA and nuclei damage, cell shrinkage, apoptotic body formation, and membrane blebbing. Even AMPs, which have been reported to exert membrane-active mechanisms, induce apoptosis in yeast. These phenomena were also discovered in tumor cells treated with AMPs. The apoptosis mechanism of AMPs is available for various therapeutics such as antibiotics for antibiotic-resistant pathogens that resist to the membrane active mechanism, and antitumor agents with selectivity to tumor cells.

With regard to the manufacture of dental prosthesis, all the dental mechanism is of vital significance at the aspect of activating its function by fixing the prosthesis to Patient's oral cavity. However, if there we will take our immediate action without the discretion about its process none the less for the importance of dental mechanism, then we might have a serious problem. Accordingly, there need to pay attention to the dilatability makes up for the shrinkage state occurring by the feature of metal materials and manufacturing process which appeared in the process of dental mechanism, which eventually is expected to playa very important role in casting a dental prosthesis appropriate to one's oral tissue. This study was designed to take into account of the effects on margin consistency of prosthesis according to the continued time of casting-ring in the course of the casting of dental alloy. For this, the researcher made an experiment on the casting of dental alloy, its dilatability, and the change of phase. The results of this study were as follows: First, the researcher could see that the sample which was cast under the condition of $650^{\circ}C/20$ Minutes(the continued time) was far superior to others at the aspect of margin consistency. Second, according to the measurement of expansion coefficient by Dilatometer, the researcher perceived the fact that the expansion-coefficient showed a maximum of $37.1{\mu}m$ considering the sample's length which was cast with ordinary temperature under the condition of $650^{\circ}C/20$ Minutes. Third, from the result of X-ray diffraction under the condition of $650^{\circ}C/20$ Minutes(the continued time), the researcher could find that there's no difference between the change of phase and its intensity. As mentioned above, the researcher could ascertain the fact that its contraction don't give rise to the change of phase.

본 연구에서는 측정장치의 compliance유무가 복합레진의 중합수축응력 측정에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 변위센서, cantilever load cell과 부궤환 (negative feedback) 시스템을 적용하여 compliance를 허용하는 것과 허용하지 않는 두 가지 모드로 중합수축응력의 측정이 가능한 stress-strain analyzer를 제작하였다. 한 종의 flowable (Filtek Flow: FF) 복합레진과 두 종의 universal hybrid (Z100: Z1 and Z250: Z2) 복합레진이 사용되었다. Load cell의 끝과 base plate에 고정된 직경 3.0 mm의 금속 막대에 silane을 처리하였다. 1.0 mm의 거리로 고정한 두 개의 금속 막대 사이 에 복합레진을 적용한 후 광중합을 하였다. 복합레진의 수직 중합수축률과 중합수축응력을 10 분 동안 기록하였고 인장탄성계수도 구하였다. 통계처리는 일원분산분석과 paired t-test를 시행하였고 95% 유의수준에서 Tukey's test로 사후 검정하였다. 측정된 중합수축 응력은 재료와 compliance의 유무에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. Compliance를 허용한 모드에서 중합수축응력은 FF: 3.11 (0.13)이 가장 컸으며 Z1: 2.91 (0.10), Z2: 1.94 (0.09) Mpa의 순서였다. 측정장치의 compliance를 허용하지 않은 경우에는 Z1 17.08 (0.89)이 가장 컸고 FF: 10.11 (0.29), Z2: 9.46 (1.63) MPa의 순이었다. 또한 Z1, Z2, FF의 인장탄성계수는 각각 2.31 (0.18), 2.05 (0.20), 1.41 (0.11) GPa 이었다. 중합수축응력은 compliance mode에서는 복합레진의 수직 중합수축률이 주요 영향 요인이었으며, compliance를 배제한 모드에서는 탄성계수의 효과가 지배적이었다.

목재의 탄화기구를 이해하기 위하여 굴참나무재를 사용하여 $250{\sim}740^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 탄화하였다. 탄화온도가 높아질수록 시험체의 부피는 수축하였고, 방사 방향으로 할렬이 발생하였다. 탄화온도가 증가함에 따라 목탄의 중량감소율은 증가되었으며, 특히 탄화온도 $300{\sim}340^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 목재의 도관은 탄화 시 방사방향보다 접선방향으로 매우 크게 수축하였다. 탄화온도 $250{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 경우, 목섬유나 도관 주위의 유세포들이 탄화되지 않은 세포벽 형태를 보여주었다. 그러나 탄화온도 $340^{\circ}C$이상에서는 세포벽층이 매끄러운 비결정형인 목탄의 형태가 관찰되기 시작하였다. 탄화온도 $300^{\circ}C$까지는 목재 셀룰로오스의 결정성이 남아있었으나 $340^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 비결정성으로 변화되고 있는 것이 관찰되었다.
