Purpose: Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a hereditary disorder characterized by symptoms and signs of hypoparathyroidism, typically in association with distinctive skeletal and developmental defects. Hypoparathyroidism is caused by a insufficient end-organ response to PTH (parathyroid hormone). Hypoparathyroidism consists of four types in which the most common form, pseudohypoparathyroidism-Ia, accompany with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. We experienced a case of a woman who had been suffering from calcified mass on left foot, diagnosed Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. Methods: We present a case of a 24-year-old Korean female who visited plastic surgery department with a painful mass on dorsum of the left foot. On the physical exam, bony hard and painful mass, fixed to dermis, was noted. Plain X-ray films demonstrate suspicious calcification on subcutaneous tissue of dorsum of the left foot. The patient was diagnosed pseudohypoparathyroidism 2 years ago at the plastic surgery department. At the visiting time, the laboratory results were within normal range even though the patient actually had a disease. The reason is because the patient has been treated with Vit.D, calcium replacement therapy and thyroid hormone therapy. Moreover, the patient has been treated with anticonvulsant agents due to epilepsy. On the brain computer tomography (CT), calcification was noted on the basal ganglia and dentate nucleus. So we decided the total excision of entire mass from the left foot. Results: We excised main mass with numerous pinhead sized masses which were scattered around the main mass. The $6.0{\times}4.0{\times}0.5\;cm$ sized main mass was bony hard, and its surface was flat and margin was irregular. The permanent biopsy was confirmed that the main mass and all the scattered tiny masses were heterotopic calcification. The patient did not suffer from the pain after the mass excision. The wound has been healed without any problem. Conclusions: Heterotrophic calcification is often accompanied with pseudohypoparathyroidism, but such a huge one is uncommon. We report a case of pseudohypoparathyroidism with heterotrophic calcification developed in dorsum of left foot who was diagnosed by excisional biopsy.

Upgrading or strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure is an emerging demand nowadays. Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique is very promising approach for flexural strengthening of RC members. However, premature failure such as concrete cover separation failure have been a main concern in utilizing this technique. In this study, U-wrap end anchorage with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics is proposed to eliminate the concrete cover separation failure. Experimental programs were conducted to the consequence of U-wrap end anchorage on the flexurally strengthened RC beams with NSM-steel. A total of eight RC rectangular beam specimens were tested. One specimen was kept unstrengthened as a reference; three specimens were strengthened with NSM-steel bars and the remaining four specimens were strengthened with NSM-steel bars and U-wrap end anchorage using CFRP fabrics. A 3D non-linear finite element model (FEM) was developed to simulate the flexural response of the tested specimens. It is revealed that NSM-steel (with and without end-anchors) significantly improved the flexural strength; moreover decreased deflection and strains compared with reference specimen. Furthermore, NSM-steel with end anchorage strengthened specimens revealed the greater flexural strength and improve failure modes (premature to flexure) compared with the NSM-steel without end anchorage specimens. The results also ensured that the U-wrap end anchorage completely eliminate the concrete cover separation failure.

In this paper, the effect of fire conditions according to ISO 834 standard on the behavior of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) reinforced steel beams coated with gypsum-based mortar has been investigated numerically. To study the efficiency of these beams, 3D coupled temperature-displacement finite element analyzes have been conducted. Mechanical and thermal characteristics of three different parts of composite beams, i.e., steel, CFRP plate, and fireproof coating, were considered as a function of temperature. The interaction between steel and CFRP plate has been simulated employing the adhesion model. The effect of temperature, CFRP plate reinforcement, and the fireproof coating thickness on the deformation of the beams have been analyzed. The results showed that within the first 120 min of fire exposure, increasing the thickness of the fireproof coating from 1 mm to 10 mm reduced the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the steel beam from 380℃ to 270℃. This increase in the thickness of the fireproof layer decreased the rate of growth in the temperature of the steel beam by approximately 30%. Besides excellent thermal resistance and gypsum-based mortar, the studied fireproof coating method could provide better fire resistance for steel structures and thus can be applied to building materials.

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide and one of the most commonly and widely used insecticide. However, a little known about the dermal risk of chlorpyrifos on human being. Therefore, this study was conducted for the dermal risk assessment after exposure to chlorpyrifos in Korean farmers. First, skin irritation by chlorpyrifos (10 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 50 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 100 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 250 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in acetone) was determined in rabbits for 5 days considering the usage of chlorpyrifos short term highly exposure. The index of skin irritation by chlorpyrifos was increased in each dose and length of exposure dependent manners. Next, using benchmark dose (BMD$_{5}$) approach, the dose-response relationship was assessed to calculate the reference dose (RfD). The value of RfD was 2.84 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day from 142.16 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day BMD5 value divided uncertainty factor 50. Finally, we assessed human dermal risk of chlorpyrifos with exposure level and RfD. Skin absorbed levels were assumed with several exposure scenarios encounting the circumstances of exposure that application method, protection equipment and cloth, exposure time and exposure frequency during chlorpyrifos spraying. By the comparison of skin absorbed dose with the reference dose, it was identified that risk values (risk index) to skin chlorpyrifos exposure were 0.958 from the point of above results and it was recommended that the occurrence of hazard effect (skin irritation toxicity) of chlorpyrifos would not be expected. Risk index was smaller than 1 in the case of spraying vehicle mounted application, 1hour exposure time and wearing protective cloth exposure. Whereas, risk index was above 1 in the case of hand-held application, 2hour exposure time and wearing common cloth. Comparing two kinds of application method, total risk index of the hand held application (1.67) was higher than vehicle mounted (0.27). Therefore, chlorpyrifos skin exposure was mainly affected by application equipment and applied form. The results of risk assessment on the human dermal toxicity of chlorpyrifos should be required to control in keeping safety rules, skin surface area available for contact, spraying time ,and spraying frequency.y.

피부는 낮 동안 태양빛과 인공 빛에 끊임없이 노출되어 있으며, 그중 5%는 UV 영역, 50%는 가시광선, 나머지 45%는 적외선 영역으로 구성되어 있다. 이중 자외선의 피부에 대한 영향은 많은 연구가 되어 왔으나, 나머지 영역에 대한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 이에, 가시광선에서 적외선 사이의 파장이 피부 섬유아세포에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하고자 하였다. 광처리에 의한 효과는 광파장, 처리 시간, 광세기, 광조합 등 다양한 파라미터들의 조합에 의해 그 효능이 결정되므로, 본 연구에서는 섬유아세포의 성장 및 콜라겐 합성과 관련된 기능을 촉진시킬 수 있는 광처리 조건을 찾아내고자 하였다. 가시광선과 적외선 영역 사이의 6개의 파장을 처리한 결과, 레드(630 nm)와 그린(520 nm) 파장에 의해 섬유아세포의 증식이 증가함을 확인하였다. 광처리 시간은 콜라겐 합성량 증가를 위해서는 10 min의 광처리가 30 min의 광처리 보다 적합한 조건이었다. 광세기는 $0.05{\sim}0.75mW/cm^2$에서 6개의 광세기로 분할하여 실험한 결과, 레드 $0.3mW/cm^2$와 그린파장 0.15, $0.3mW/cm^2$ 세기가 type I collagen의 mRNA의 양을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 마지막으로 두 개 파장을 순차적으로 조합 처리하였을 때의 효과를 확인한 결과, 레드와 그린파장의 조합 조건은 섬유아세포의 수적증가를 목적으로 할 때 효율적인 방법이며, 콜라겐 합성에는 레드 단독처리가 보다 효과적인 방법이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시하는 광처리 조건을 이용시 피부 세포의 성장이나 콜라겐 합성에 긍정적 영향을 유도할 수 있으며, 재생 및 피부 미용 등에 활용할 수 있는 가능성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 TBOS를 기질로 적용한 Geobacter lovleyi의 TCE 탈염소화 공정에 관하여 조사하였다. Geobacter lovleiy를 이용한 TCE 탈염소화 반응은 TCE 초기농도와 Geobacter lovleyi 주입량, 초기 TBOS 농도의 독립변수를 수학적으로 표시하였고, 반응표면법(RSM)을 활용하여 모델화하였다. 이 실험들은 Box-Behnken Design(BBD)을 통해 계획된 15개의 실험을 통해 이루어졌다. RSM을 통하여 TCE 제거효율과 독립변수들의 모델식이 도출되었다 : $Y_1$= -11.50(initial concentration of TCE) + 4.25(단백질 양, 주입된 Geobacter lovleyi의 양) - 4.75(initial concentration of TBOS) - ${6.58X_1}^2$ - ${8.583X_3}^2$ + 93.67, $Y_2=-10.92X_1+5.06X_2-4.89X_3-{4.93X_3}^2-2.19X_1X_2+2.54X_1X_3-2.19X_2X_3+16.71$. 도출된 반응모델은 수정결정계수는 각 0.975, 0.934로 1에 가깝게 나타났으며, 모델의 기여율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 통계적 분석결과 TCE 탈염소화 효율에 미치는 영향은 TCE 초기농도 > TBOS 초기농도 > 단백질 양의 순으로 나타났으며, 상호항의 영향은 나타나지 않았다.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of a mixture of pinecone oil, garlic, and brown seaweed extracts (PGBE) on milk production traits as well as physiological and ethological parameters in Holstein cows during the summer season (24 May to 03 July 2015, Korea). Methods: Among the extract combinations tested, we found that the level of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylberzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) cation radical scavenging activity of the 0.16% PBGE complex at ratio of 1:1:1 (vol/vol) was comparable to that of the control (ascorbic acid; 1 mg/mL). Additionally, the PBGE complex reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced COX-2 expression in bovine mammary epithelial cells. Based on these findings, 40 lactating Holstein cows were used to measure the effects of PBGE complex at ratio of 1:1:1 (vol/vol) on milk production, immune response, metabolites, and behavior patterns by dividing the cows into two groups fed diets containing PGBE complex (n = 20; 0.016%/kg feed dry matter basis) or not containing PGBE complex (control, n = 20) for 40 d. Results: Results showed that PGBE complex did not influence milk composition, eating and ear surface temperature patterns, immune response, or metabolic parameters but promoted average milk yield throughout the experimental period. Additionally, a tendency of higher total antioxidant capacity and glutathione in the PGBE group was observed compared to the those in the control. When the temperature-humidity index (THI) exceeded 72 (average THI = 73.8), PGBE complex-fed cows experiencing heat stress showed increased milk yield and a tendency of increased rumination compared to the control. Conclusion: We suggest that incorporation of a combined mixture of 0.016% PGBE (1:1:1 ratio, vol/vol) to diet has the potential to improve milk yield and health status of cows under mild to moderate heat stress, denoting that it might be useful as an alternative anti-stressor in the diet of dairy cows under hot conditions.

뼈의 성장에 미치는 많은 요소들 중에서 implant의 상대적인 미세운동(relative micromotion)은 뼈의 implant와의 접합을 방해하는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그런데 이러한 상대적인 운동 및 spinal stability에 직접적으로 영향을 주는 하중조건, spinal material의 물성치, spinal geometry 및 뼈와 implant의 접촉면에서의 마찰계수를 고려하기 위하여, 하나의 titanium interbody cage 가 삽입된 human lumbar segments (L4-L5)의 유한요소 모델이 개발되었다. 이러한 유한요소 모델의 해석을 통하여 상대적인 미세운동, Posterior의 수직적인 변위, von Mises 응력 및 마찰력이 예측되었다. Cancellous bone. annulus fibers 및 ligaments의 기계적인 물성치의 감소 또는 접촉면에서의 마찰계수의 감소는 상대적인 미세운동 (relative micromotion or slip distance)을 증가 시켰다. 접촉면에서의 normal force는 뼈의 밀도 (cancellous bone density) 가 감소하거나 접촉마찰계수가 증가하면 감소했다. 특히 하중조건에 있어서, compressive preload에 대한 torsion의 추가는 접촉면의 anterior부위에서 상대적인 미세운동을 증가 시켰다. 하지만 디스크면적이 증가할수록 상대적인 미세운동은 감소했다. 결론적으로, 접촉면의 기계공학적 거동 (Relative micromotion, stress response, posterior axial displacement and contact normal force)은 접촉면의 마찰계수 뼈의 밀도, 하중조건 및 노화에 따른 형상/물성의 변화에 매우 민감함을 보이고있다.

본 논문은 적은 농도로 존재하는 Vibrio parahaemolyticus를 6시간이내에 10⁶ CFU/mL까지 신속하게 배양가능한 배지인 Rapid Enrichment Broth for V. parahaemolyticus(REB-V)를 개발하여 V. parahaemolyticus를 신속하게 검출할 수 있도록 하였다. Modified Gompertz model과 RSM를 활용하여 V. parahaemolyticus를 신속하게 증균할 수 있도록 첨가 성분을 최적화하였다. 그 결과 2%(w/v) NaCl BPW에 D-(+)-mannose 0.3 g/L, L-valine 0.2 g/L, magnesium sulfate 0.2 g/L를 첨가하였을 때 V. parahaemolyticus의 증균량이 최대였다. REB-V의 배양조건을 pH 7.84와 37℃으로 최적화하였으며, 2%(w/v) NaCl BPW와 비교하여 REB-V의 증균 효율을 확인하기 위해 7시간 증균을 통해 증균량을 평가하였다. 또한 매시간마다 배양액에서 DNA를 추출하였고, 추출한 DNA로 real-time PCR을 수행하여 REB-V의 분자진단법 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 7시간 동안 2%(w/v) NaCl BPW에서 V. parahaemolyticus는 5.452±0.151 Log CFU/mL까지 증균되었고, REB-V에서는 7.831±0.323 Log CFU/mL의 V. parahaemolyticus가 증균되었다. 최종적으로 REB-V에서 6시간 이내에 10⁶ CFU/mL 이상으로 증균된 것을 확인하였고, REB-V의 증균속도가 2%(w/v) NaCl BPW보다 빠르고 같은 시간 내의 증균량이 2%(w/v) NaCl BPW보다 많았음을 통해 REB-V의 증균효율이 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.
