현재 사용하고 있는 임목 재적표는 전국 공용으로 제작되어 있기 때문에, 특정 지역에 적용할 경우 재적을 과소 또는 과대 추정하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 수간곡선식을 이용하여 지역의 재적생장을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 홍천과 영주지역의 지방별 임목 수간재적표를 개발하고자 수행하였으며, 우리나라에서 가장 많은 분포를 보이고 있는 소나무를 대상으로 개발하였다. 추정에 적합한 수간곡선식의 도출을 위해서 Max & Burkhart, Korzak 그리고 Parresol et al.의 세 가지 수간곡선 모델을 적용하였으며, 적합도, 편의, 잔차의 표준 오차 등의 통계량을 분석하여 각 모델의 적합성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 3개의 수간곡선 모델간에는 정확성에 대한 유의적인 차이가 없으나, 소나무의 수간생장을 표현하는 데에는 Kozak 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 Kozak 모형을 이용하여 소나무의 지방별 수간재적표를 조제하였다. 새롭게 개발된 지방별 수간재적표와 전국단위의 소나무 수간재적표와 비교한 결과, 홍천과 영주 2지역 모두에서 현재 재적표보다 재적이 높은 것으로 나타났으며(0.000< ${\alpha}=0.05$), 또한 두 지역간 지방별 재적표의 재적에서도 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(p-value: 0.000< ${\alpha}=0.05$) 홍천이 영주에 비해 재적이 높게 나타났다.

Aim: To establish a pancreatic cancer stem cell model using human pancreatic cancer cells in nude mice to provide a platform for pancreatic cancer stem cell research. Materials and Methods: To establish pancreatic cancer xenografts using human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990, nude mice were randomly divided into control and gemcitabine groups. When the tumor grew to a volume of $125mm^3$, they treated with gemcitabine at a dose of 50mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2ml in the gemcitabine group, while the mice in control group were treated with the same volume of normal saline. Gemcitabine was given 2 times a week for 3 times. When the model was established, the proliferation of pancreatic cancer stem cells was observed by clone formation assay, and the protein and/or mRNA expression of pancreatic stem cell surface markers including CD24, CD44, CD133, ALDH, transcription factors containing Oct-4, Sox-2, Nanog and Gli, the key nuclear transcription factor in Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway was detected by Western blot and/or RT-PCR to verify the reliability of this model. Results: This model is feasible and safe. During the establishment, no mice died and the weight of nude mice maintained above 16.5g. The clone forming ability in gemcitabine group was stronger than that of the control group (p<0.01). In gemcitabine group, the protein expression of pancreatic cancer stem cell surface markers including CD44, and ALDH was up-regulated, the protein and mRNA expression of nuclear transcription factor including Oct-4, Sox-2 and Nanog was also significantly increased (P<0.01). In addition, the protein expression of key nuclear transcription factor in Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway, Gli-1, was significantly enhanced (p<0.01). Conclusions: The pancreatic cancer stem cell model was successfully established using human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 in nude mice. Gemcitabine could enrich pancreatic cancer stem cells, simultaneously accompanied by the activation of Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway.

In this study, the effect of stem-end design on contact pressure and stress distribution in revision TKR was investigated using finite element method. The finite element model of tibia, including the cortical bone, the cancellous bone and canal, was developed based on CT images. The implant models with various stem lengths, diameters, friction coefficients, and press-fit effects were considered. The results showed that the longer stem length, the stronger press-fit, the bigger stem diameter, and the higher friction coefficient increased both peak contact pressure and Von-Mises stress distributions. The results supported the clinical hypothesis that peak contact pressure and stress are related to the stem end pain. The results of this study will be useful to design the stem and reduce the end-of-stem pain in revision TKR.

Three dimensional numerical model based on the finite element method(FEM) were developed to predict the mechanical behavior of hip implants. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress distribution of two types of cementless total hip replacement femoral component -a straight stem and a curved stem, and to compare their effect on the stress shielding between two types by three dimensional finite element method. The authors analyzed von Mises stress in the cortex & stem and compared the stress between the straight and the curved stem. In comparison of stresses between two different design of femoral stem, there was 25% more decrease of stress in straight stem than curved stem in the medial cortex at proximal region. The straight stem had consistently much lower stresses than the curved stem throughout the whole medial cortex with maximum 70% reduction of stress. However, there was little change in stress between nature and 2 implanted femur throughout the lateral cortex. Stress of femoral stem was much higher in the straight stem than the curved stem up to 60%. The straight stem had more chance of stress shielding and a risk of fatigue fracture of the stem compared with the curved stem in noncement hip arthroplasty. In design of femoral stem still we have to consider to develop design to distribute more even stress on the proximal medial cortex.

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by compromised T lymphocyte differentiation related to abnormal development of other lymphocytes [i.e., B and/or natural killer (NK) cells], leading to death early in life unless treated immediately with hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Functional NK cells may impact engraftment success of life-saving procedures such as bone marrow transplantation in human SCID patients. Therefore, in animal models, a T cell-/B cell-/NK cell+ environment provides a valuable tool for understanding the function of the innate immune system and for developing targeted NK therapies against human immune diseases. In this review, we focus on underlying mechanisms of human SCID, recent progress in the development of SCID animal models, and utilization of SCID pig model in biomedical sciences. Numerous physiologies in pig are comparable to those in human such as immune system, X-linked heritability, typical T-B+NK- cellular phenotype, and anatomy. Due to analogous features of pig to those of human, studies have found that immunodeficient pig is the most appropriate model for human SCID.

The total hip replacement (THR) has been used as the most effective way to restore the function of damaged hip joint. However, various factors have caused some side effects after the THR. Unfortunately, the success of the THR have been decided only by the proficiency of surgeons so far. Hence, It is necessary to find the way to minimize the side effect caused by those factors. The purpose of this study was to suggest the definite data, which can be used to design and choose the optimal hip implant. Using finite element analysis (FEA), the biomechanical condition of bone cement was evaluated. Stress patterns were analyzed in three conditions: cement mantle, procimal femur and stem-cement contact surface. Additionally, micro-motion was analyzed in the stem-cement contact surface. The 3-D femur model was reconstructed from 2-D computerized tomography (CT) images. Raw CT images were preprocessed by image processing technique (i.e. edge detection). In this study, automated edge detection system was created by MATLAB coding for effective and rapid image processing. The 3-D femur model was reconstructed based on anatomical parameters. The stem shape was designed using that parameters. The analysis of the finite element models was performed with the variation of parameters. The biomechanical influence of each parameter was analyzed and derived optimal parameters. Moreover, the results of FE A using commercial stem model (Zimmer's V erSys) were similar to the results of stem model that was used in this study. Through the study, the improved designs and optimal factors for clinical application were suggested. We expect that the results can suggest solutions to minimize various side effects.

강원지방소나무의 수간곡선 추정에 비선형 혼합효과 모형(nonlinear mixed-effects models: NLME)을 적용하고 몇 가지 성능 척도를 이용하여 비선형 고정효과 모형과 비교하였다. 혼합효과 모형이 고정효과 모형을 개선한 정도를 전체 성능의 측면에서 설명하면, 수간직경에 대해서는 BIAS 26.4%, MAB 42.9%, RMSE 43.1%, FI 0.9%만큼이었고, 수간단면적에 대해서는 BIAS 67.7%, MAB 44.7%, RMSE 45.8%, FI 1.0%만큼이었다. 수간을 12개의 상대수고 구간으로 세분화하여 분석한 결과에서도 수간곡선의 성능은 혼합효과 모형에 의해 크게 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 혼합효과 모형은 모든 상대수고 구간에서 수간직경 및 수간단면적에 대한 성능이 고정효과 모형보다 더 나은 MAB, RMSE, FI를 나타내었고, BIAS의 경우 일부 구간(수간직경: 0.05, 0.2, 0.3, 0.8, 수간단면적: 0.05, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0)에서만 고정효과 모형보다 뒤떨어지는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 지상에 근접한 수간 최하부(수고 0.2 m 지점)에서 수간직경 및 수간단면적 추정 성능이 혼합효과 모형에 의해 크게 향상되었다. 수간직경의 경우 BIAS 84.2%, MAB 69.8%, RMSE 68.7%, FI 3.1%, 수간단면적의 경우 BIAS 98.5%, MAB 70.1%, RMSE 68.7%, FI 3.1%만큼 향상된 것으로 분석되었다. 지상으로부터 0.2 m 높이 지점의 수간단면적이 수간단면적 전체에서 차지하는 비중은 22.7%에 달하였다. 이렇게 수간재적에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 수간 최하부에서의 추정 성능이 크게 향상되었다는 것은 전체 수간재적의 추정 성능 역시 큰 폭으로 향상될 수 있음을 시사한다. 비록 모형 적합 과정이 고정효과 모형보다 까다롭다는 단점이 있지만, 추정 성능의 개선 효과를 고려하면 NLME를 수간곡선 추정의 표준적인 방법으로 사용하는 것을 검토할 필요가 있다.

The rice plant is one of the important staple crops in Korea. The high yield with low cost in rice is required the soil fertility and the development of new precise method of fertilizer application by nutritional diagnosis. Now, in Korea, the nitrogen application system for the rice plant is composed of the basal fertilization, fertilization at tillering stage and fertilization at panicle stage, which the nitrogen fertilization at panicle stage amount to about 30 percent in the total amount. Thus, this experiment carried out to the development of the system that can measure the nitrogen content in the rice plant at panicle stage rapidly with the near infrared spectroscopy, and to predict the appropriate quantity of the nitrogen fertilization at panicle stage based on calibration model for test of nitrogen content in rice plant. The samples were collected from 48 varieties in 4 regions which are mainly cultivated in the southern part of Korea. And then, it collected by classifying into the leaf, the whole plant and the stem since 7 days before the nitrogen fertilization at panicle stage. The ranges of the nitrogen contents were 1.6∼4.0%, 1.7∼3.0% and 1.4∼2.7% in the leaf, the whole plant and the stem, respectively. In the calibration models created by each part of the plant under the Multiple Linear Regression(MLR) method, the calibration model for the leaf recorded the relatively high accuracy. The mutual crossing test on unknown samples were carried out using Partial Least Square(PLS) calibration model. That is, the nitrogen content in the stem was tested by calibration model made by the leaf model and that of stem was tested by calibration model made by whole plant sample. When unknown leaf sample was tested by calibration model made by all sample that collected from each part in rice plant such as leaf, stem and whole plant, it recorded the highest accuracy. As a result, to test the nitrogen content in the rice plant at panicle stage, the nitrogen content in the leaf shall be tested by the calibration model composed of the leaf, the stem and the whole plant. In future, to estimated the amount of nitrogen fertilization at panicle stage for rice plant , it will be calculated based on regression model between rice yield and nitrogen content of leaf measured by calibration model made by mixed sample including leaf, stem and whole plant.
