사람치주인대섬유모세포(human periodontal ligament fibroblast, PDLF)의 기능 손상과 클로르헥시딘(Chlorhexidine, CHX)의 세포독성에 관한 분자적인 기전은 최근까지도 불명확하다. 이 연구의 목적은 PDLF에 의한 골결절 형성에 있어서 CHX의 효과를 평가하고, 치주수술후에 치주병원균의 최소억제농도(minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC)를 평가하고자 하였다. CHX의 세포독성을 평가하기 위해서 MTT assay법을 실시하였다. CHX은 0.12%에서 0.00012%까지, 즉 10-1000배로 희석시킨 후 30, 60, 120초 동안 PDLF에 적용되었고, 석회화된 결절은 alizarin red 용엑에 염색되었다. 치주병원균에 대한 CHX의 MIC가 평가되었다. 이 연구 결과, 세포생존율 검사에서는, 단지 0.12% CHX 에 노출되었던 세포들만 세포 증식 소견을 다소 나타내었다. 모든 CHX 농도(0.12%-0.00012%)에서 PDLF에 의한 골결절 형성은 의미있는 감소를 나타내었다. 또한 치주병원균에 대한 CHX의 MIC는 0.0012%로 나타났다. PDLF의 골결절 형성에 영향을 주는 농도(0.00012%)는 세포독성을 나타내는 농도(0.12%)보다 더 낮은 농도를 보였고, 치주병원균의 최소억제에 필요한 농도는 0.0012%로 나타났다. 이런한 결과들은 통상적으로 상용되는CHX이 PDLF에 의한 골결절 형성에 있어서 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하였다.

The aim of this study was to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of cefixime, which is a 3rd generation of cefalosporin, against 6 species of putative periodontopathogens; Fusobacterium nucleatum, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The efficacy of cefixime was examined by comparing it with that of several antibiotics(amoxicillin, $Augmentin^{(R)}$ ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and tetracycline), which were used as the control. The MIC was measured using a microdilution method. The MIC of cefixime against the putative periodotopathogens, as a single use regimen, was relatively lower than that of the other antibiotics. The MIC of cefixime/metronidazole against P. intermedia ChDC KB14, P. nigrescens ChDC KB50, F. nucleatum ChDC PV-F37, F. nucleatum ChDC F130, and F. nucleatum ChDC F175, as a simultaneous regimen, was lower than that of the other antibiotics. The concentration of cefixime in the crevicular fluid of volunteers who received 250mg every 12 hours for 3 days was $9{\mu}g/ml$ after 9 hours. In conclusion, cefixime showed good antimicrobial activity in a single treatment or as a combined therapy with amoxicillin, $Augmentin^{(R)}$ or metronidazole against 6 periodontopathogens.

The Soowang deposits occur in the quartz veins that were filled fissures in the middle Cretaceous porphyritic granite and/or the Precambrian Sobaegsan gneiss complex. Paragenetic studies suggest that the vein filling can be divided into four identifiable stages. Sphalerites were deposited by the cooling fluids at stages I, II, and III. The results of microscopic observation and EPMA analysis suggest that the chalcopyrite dots and disease in sphalerite are replacement products by later hydrothermal solution at the early stage III. The inferred processes of chalcopyrite disease are as follows: (1) Fe enrichment to the margins and along the cracks of the Fe-poor sphalerite by Fe-rich solution, (2) Formation of chalcopyrite dots in the Fe-enriched sphalerite formed at the stage II, and Fe reduction of sphalerite near the chalcopyrite dots by Cu-bearing solution, (3) Formation of "chalcopyrite disease" penetrating the compositional zoning of sphalerite at the early stage III.

During the last few decades, the ever-increasing knowledge of coastal morphogenic processes has made marine terraces the most recognizable, widespread and scientifically reliable records to determine both qualitatively and quantitatively the vertical movements that have affected the tectonically active coastal regions during the Quaternary. This study first aims to address the marine terrace records from Suje-ri to Suryum-ri along the coast of Gyeongju, SE Korea. Eight distinct flights of terraces, including HH YC, elevated up to 160 m above present sea level have been mapped along the coast of the study areas, and are designated $L_{II}$ to HH YC from the youngest to oldest. Based on the elevation of paleo-shoreline and inferred formation age for HH YC uplift rate since the middle Pleistocene has been estimated at 0.23 mm/year. Establishing the nature and timing of the uplift history derived from marine terraces provide a better understanding of neotectonic framework for explain enigmatic, complex landscape evolution in the Korean peninsula.

매년 수많은 기업이 폐업하고 있으며 그 숫자만큼 폐업 기업의 대표가 실패하고 있다. 중소기업연구원의 재기성공요인 분석을 통한 중소 벤처기업의 재도전 활성화 연구(백필규,2011)에 의하면 폐업이나 부도의 형태로 실패하는 기업이 급격하게 증가한 시점은 외환위기가 발생했던 1997년과 1998년의 사이로 보고 있다. 부도 기업의 숫자가 외환위기때는 약 4만사, 1999년부터 2010년까지도 평균 4만 7천여사가 발생하였고 폐업기업수는 부도기업보다 훨씬 많아 매년 80~90만개 전후의 기업이 실패하고 있다. 최근 IBK경제연구소의 실패기업인의 재창업 지원제도 설문조사 결과(김나라,2017)에 의하면 최근 5년간 창업기업은 연평균 77만개사, 폐업기업은 69만개사로 조사되었으며 창업기업의 5년 생존율은 27.3%로 OECD 주요회원국 17개국중 최하위를 차지했다. 오랜시간 대한민국 사회는 사업실패는 곧 패가망신이라는 인식이 깊게 자리잡고 있다. 연대보증이나 재기가 어려운 구조로 인하여 폐업기업의 대표가 실패하면 가족들도 모두 힘들어지고 본인은 경제적, 심리적 어려움에 직면하고 있는 현실이다. 정부와 민간 기관들이 실패기업인들의 재기를 지원하기 위하여 다양한 제도를 운영하고 있지만 아직 시행 초기 단계라 보다 재기를 원하는 기업인들에게 맞춤형으로 도움을 줄 수 있는 실질적이고 효과적인 시스템이 구축되었다 할 수 없다. 창업강국인 미국과 중국의 기업가들은 평균 2.8회의 실패 경험을 가지고 있으나 한국의 기업가는 1.3회의 실패 경험을 보유 한다.(중기청, 2014) 폐업기업 대표의 재무적 손실의 규모와 관계없이 불안과 우울이 낮고 회복탄력성이 높은 기업가가 본인과 가족의 삶의 질과 재창업의지에 긍정적인 효과가 있음으로 나타났다. 연구 대상은 재기중소기업개발원의 재기 기업인과 정부 재창업 지원 프로그램에 지원한 재기 기업인을 대상으로 조사 하였으며 본 연구를 통해 폐업기업 대표에게 필요한 사회적 안전장치와 국가의 창업지원이 고용창출, 매출증가로 이어질 수 있는 선순환 구조의 재기 창업 생태계를 만드는 데 일조하고자 한다.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes, and the complications of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) using a fixed bearing prosthesis after 5-year follow-up. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six knees (25 patients) that underwent fixed bearing UKA between May 2003 and August 2011 were included. The subjects were 3 males (3 knees) and 22 females (23 knees), and the average age was 63.5 years. The preoperative diagnosis was osteoarthritis (23 knees) and osteonecrosis (3 knees). The mean follow-up duration was 67 months (from 60 to 149 months). The clinical evaluation included pre- and postoperative American knee society knee and function score, and range of motion. The radiology evaluation included standing antero-posterior, lateral view, and fluoroscopic film to analyze the postoperative alignment and osteolysis. Results: The mean American Knee Society knee score and function score were improved from 42.0 and 57.5 to 87.9 and 85.0, respectively (p<0.001). The mean preoperative and postoperative range of motion was $132.9^{\circ}$ and $132.5^{\circ}$, respectively. The mean femorotibial angle were varus $0.5^{\circ}$ preoperatively and valgus $2.2^{\circ}$ postoperatively. A radiolucent line was observed in 2 knees; one knee had a stable implant, while in the other knee, patellofemoral arthritis was identified during UKA. Diffuse pain of the knee joint with tenderness of the medial joint line was identified at the follow-up, so conversion to total knee arthroplasty was recommended. No other complications, such as osteolysis, infections, postoperative stiffness, and dislocation, were encountered. Conclusion: The midterm results of fixed bearing UKA were clinically and radiologically satisfactory.

The Jija Chongtong Gun, owned by Seokdang Museum of Dong-A University, is a tubedstyle heavy weapon of the battlefield in the mid-Joseon Dynasty and is the second largest firearm after Cheonja Chongtong. The original surface color of the Jija Chongtong Gun was obscured by foreign substances and therefore it was judged that its condition requires the conservation treatment. For stable conservation treatment, gamma ray and X-ray non-destructive transmission surveys was conducted to determine the internal structure and conservation condition. And the component analysis on the material components and surface contaminants of Jija Chongtong Gun was conducted by utilizing the p-XRF component analysis, SEM-EDS component analysis, and XRD analysis. As a result of the gamma-ray and X-ray non-destructive transmission investigation, a large amount of air bubbles was observed inside Jija Chongtong Gun, and the part that appeared to be a chaplet by visual observation was not identified. As a result of gamma-ray and p-XRF component analysis, it was confirmed that Jija Chongtong Gun was bronze made of copper (Cu), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb) alloy. As a result of surface analysis of foreign substances using SEM-EDS, it was confirmed that the main components of white foreign substances were calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), and titanium (Ti). Titanium was presumed to be titanium dioxide (TiO₂), the main component of white correction fluid. The red foreign substance was confirmed to contain barium (Ba) as its main ingredient, and was presumed to be barium sulfate (BaSO₄), an extender pigment in paint. White and red contaminants, mainly composed of titanium and barium, are presumed to have been deposited on the surface in recent years. The yellow foreign substances were confirmed to be aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si), and were presumed to have originated from soil components. As a result of SEM-EDS and XRD component analysis, the white foreign substance was confirmed to be gypsum (CaS). Based on the results of component analysis, surface impurities were removed, stabilization treatment, and strengthening treatment were performed. During the conservation process, unknown inscriptions Woo (右), Byeong (兵), Sang (上), and Yi (二) were discovered through a portable microscope and precise 3D scanning. In addition, the carving method, depth, and width of the inscription were measured. Woo Byeong Sang is located above Happo Fortress in Changwon, and Yi can be identified as the second hill.

경기육괴의 남서부에 해당하며 옥천구조대의 북쪽에 위치한 백동-홍성 일대의 충청남도 일원에는 선캠브리아기의 편마암복합체내에 초염기성암체들이 소규모 렌즈상의 암체로 이 지역에 우세한 구조선 방향인 북북동 방향으로 배열되어 산출된다. 이들 초염기성암채들이 조산대에 형성되는 알파인형이며 전형적인 상부 맨틀기원의 암석이 부분용융된 맨틀 잔여물로서 지표로의 이동과정에서 변성작용을 받아 대부분은 사문석화 혹은 활석화된 것으로 보고되어 있다. 본 연구의 주대상인 변성염기성암을 포함하는 백동지역의 초염기성암은 홍성도폭내 덕정리 편암암체 내에 주변 편마암체와 단층으로 접하면서 나타난다. 덕정리 편마암체는 주로 각섬석 화강편마암으로 구성되어있다. 백동지역의 초염기성암내에는 변성염기성암이 층상으로 협재되어 나타난다. 이들 변성염기성암은 석류석, 단사휘석, 각섬석, 사장석으로 주로 이루어진 석류석 각섬암이며 금홍석도 포함하고 있다. 많은 석류석 주변에는 사장석과 각섬석으로 이루어진 심플렉타이트가 발달되어있다. 석류석 각섬암내 심플렉타이트가 형성되지 않은 석류석 가장자리로부터 계산된 변성 온도-압력 조건은 590-72$0^{\circ}C$, 9-l0kb이며 심플렉타이트가 잘 형성된 석류석 주변부로부터는 490-$600^{\circ}C$, 4-6.3kb의 변성 온도-압력 조건이 계산되었다. 이에 반해 변성염기성암을 포함한 초염기성암체 주변에 나타나는 석류석-각섬석 화강편마암으로 부터는 570-78$0^{\circ}C$, 11.6-l6kb의 변성 온도-압력 조건을 얻었다. 석류석 각섬암에서 석류석내에 포획물로 나타나는 휘석(Xjd, 4-11)이 기질에 나타나는 휘석(Xid, 1-6)보다 높은 제이다이트 성분을 갖는다. 이는 석류석 중심부가 석류석 주변부보다 변성압력 조건이 높았을 가능성을 지시한다. 즉 연구지역의 석류석 각섬암은 주변의 각섬석 화강편마암과 같이 에콜로자이트상-상부각섬암상-고압백립암상의 점이대에 해당하는 변성작용을 받은후 초염기성암의 사문암화 작용시기에 1차 후퇴변성작용을 그리고 그후의 활석화 시기에 심플렉타이트를 형성하는 2차 후퇴변성작용을 받았다. 이러한 후퇴변성작용시기에 많은 유체가 침입하였고 그 결과 초염기성암내의 변성염기성암이 주변 화강편마암보다 후퇴변성작용을 강하게 받았을 것으로 예상된다. 변성염기성암의 변성연대를 구하기 위해 두 석류석 각석암 시료에 대해 석류석-전암 Sm-Nd 등시선 연령을 구하였다. 두 개의 석류석 각섬암으로부터 계산된 전암-석류석 연령은 297.9$\pm$5.7(2$\sigma$)Ma 그리고 268.7$\pm$3.3(2$\sigma$)Ma를 나타낸다. 석류석의 Sm-Nd 폐쇄온도가 700-75$0^{\circ}C$임을 고려할 때 두 석류석 각섬암으로부터 계산된 연대는 최고 변성작용 혹은 초기 냉각 시기를 지시할 가능성이 높다. 한편 전암의 두 동위원소 자료로부터 계산된 전암의 연령은 408Ma이다. 이러한 연구 결과는 연구지역의 석류석 각섬암이 시루리아기 후기 혹은 데본기 초기에 관입 후 석탄기 후기에서 페름기 중기에 주변 화강편마암과 함께 섭입작용을 받았을 가능성을 지시한다.

The existence of coastal terraces, HH(High higher) surfaces found at Gampo of southeast coast and at Jeongdongjin of the central east coast were confirmed at Jjgyeong-Ri, the areal border between Gyeongjuand Ulsan city on the southeast coast of Korea Peninsula. Especially this study reports HH JK-surface located on the 155m a.s.l, which is the highest altitude among the ancient shorelines of the coastal terraces in Korea. The HH surfaces on the study area are classified into HH JK at 155m, HH I at 140m and HH II at 115m, and each formation stage is related to MIS 17(720∼690ka BP), MIS 15(630∼560ka BP) and MIS 13(510∼480ka BP) respectively. The HH-surfaces remain to be larger than those of H- and L-surfaces. The reason is caused by the unique factors of the coastal geology and morphology on the study area during the formation stage. And also the areal difference by the magnitude of upheaval doesn't exist from north to south because the altitude system of ancient shoreline on each coastal terrace is same along the east coast. The upheaval rate of the eastern coastal areas was measured in the relation to the ancient shoreline and formation stage among the coastal terraces such as HH JK-, HH I-, HH II, H I- and H II surface, and was almost same as 0.23mm/y.

All highway toll gates in Korea use low-speed WIM(Weight-In-Motion) to block overloaded cargo vehicles from entering the main highway, but some cargo vehicle owners are illegally modifying vehicles to operate variable axles and evading crackdowns by manipulating the axles. In previous studies detect all tires of a running vehicle were detected to determine whether there is axle manipulation. However, because the vehicle entry area at the highway toll gate checkpoint is very narrow, there is a problem that it is realistically difficult to film all tires of the entering vehicle in one video frame. In this paper, we proposed a system that can determine whether the axle is being operated through changes in the height of the vehicle's cargo box rather than by detecting tires. To detect changes in the height of a cargo box, we propose a method to extract the representative line of the cargo box using Hough transform and then measure the change in height of the representative line to detect the change in height of the cargo box. In addition, we propose a method to detect changes in the vertical height of a cargo box by accumulating motion vectors of pixels within a certain area of the image using optical flow. And the two methods were compared and their advantages and disadvantages were analyzed and presented.
