The present study was sought to clarify whether the combination of mental activity with subway noise affects hematological variables. Fifty-six healthy volunteers participated in this experiment and underwent a stress task consisting of combination_of mental activity (mental arithmetic) with subway noise for 50 min and 60min of recovery after the end of the stress task. Venous blood samples were collected for measuring CBC, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen concentration, D-dimer and high sensitive C-reactive protein (H-CRP) levels before (baseline), 50min of stress task (S-50m), and 60 min of recovery (R-60m). Total leukocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts significantly increased at R-60m compared with baselines. RBC count at S-50m was higher, while monocyte counts at S-50m and R-60m were lower than those of baselines. aPTTs shortened at S-50m and R-60m, but PT reduced at R-60m as compared with baselines. D-dimer and H-CRP levels at S-50m and R-60m were significantly higher than those of baselines. These findings imply that a combination of mental activity with subway noise nay cause leukocytosis, homo-concentration, shortened PT and aPTT, decreased ESR, and raised D-dimer and H-CRP levels, suggesting possible development of inflammation and prothrombogenic reaction attributable to a subway environment.

We investigated the optimal concentratin of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate for the exfoliation and recovery of young abalone, Haliotis discus hannai in according to different water temperatures, for the purpose of preventing the damage of shell and muscle to ecfoliated from shelter. In the 14$^{\circ}C$ water temperature, young abalones were exfoliated after 16, 35, 35 and 35 minutes in 150, 100, 75 and 50ppm concentration of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate, and were recovered after 100, 60, 30 and 30 minutes, respectively. Exfoliation rate of abalone were 100% except for 50 ppm (80%) and recovery rate were 100% of all concentration. In the $18^{\circ}C$ water temperature, young abalones were exfoliated after 4, 4, 6, 8, 8 and 12 munutes in 300, 200, 150, 100, 75 and 50ppm concentration of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate, and were recovered after 210, 180, 90, 60, 30, 20 and 20 minutes, respectively. Exfoliation rate of abalone were 100%, and recovery rate were 100% except for 200 and 300ppm (90%). In the $24^{\circ}C$ water temperature, young abalones were exfoliated after 8, 10, 10 and 12 minutes in 150, 100, 75 and 50ppm concentration of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate, and were recovered after 70, 50, 30 and 20 minutes, respectively. Exfoliation and recovery rate of abalone were 100%. In the 18$^{\circ}C$water temperature, exfoliation rate that treated with freshwater during 20 minute were 80, 50, 30 and 5% in 100, 75, 50 and 25% of fresh water, and recovery after 60, 15, 10 and 2 minutes, respectively and recovery arate were 100% except of r 100% freshwater. In this study, we suggest the reslults that the exfoliation and recovery by ethly-p-aminobenzoate were more effected in $18^{\circ}C\;and\;24^{\circ}C$ of sea water temperature than those of $14^{\circ}C$. The optimal concentration of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate was 50ppm at those water temperature. We raised 20 individual of young abalones at water temperature of $16^{\circ}C$ in the 1$\ell$ o ftnk and checked the variatin of dissolved oxygen (DO) by respiration of abalones that treated with 75ppm of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate. Before anesthetizion, DO were 6.17~6.20mg/$\ell$ and slowly decreased. But after 60 minutes, DO decreasing were stopped in 5.42~5.46mg/$\ell$. On the other hand, the control was continuously decreased and 5.27mg/$\ell$ after 60 minutes. The heartbeats of abalones were 33~45/minute in the water temperature of $18^{\circ}C$, but that treated with 100 ppm concentration of ethyl-p-aminobenzoate during 60 minutes, was 0/minute. And heartbeats of recovered abalones from anesthetizion were 29~43/minute.

The influence of electrolyzed acid-water (oxidation-reduction potential (ORP): above 1,150 mV, pH : 2.5) on the survival of some microorganisms was investigated. It was observed that the ORP of electrolyzed acid-water was kept at the level of above 1,000 mV for 15 days at room temperature. Escherichia coli. Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were not detected after 10 to 40 min in electrolyzed acid-water. However, Bacillus cereus showed higher tolerance to electrolyzed acid-water than other test microorganisms. After 60 min of inoculation, only 0.4% of initial population remained. The investigation of surface sterilization effect on some vegetables was carried out too. Total count of cabbage, Chinese cabbage and kale were reduced to below 3% of initial count, and no coliform was detected after 20 to 60 min of immersion in 5 volumes of electrolyzed acid-water. In the lettuce, total and coliform counts were reduced to 90% and 2% of initial population. This study shows that the electrolyzed acid-water has a potential for the sterilization of food products such as vegetables and fruits which cannot be thermally sterilized.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in-vitro efficacy of the active ingredients of dentifrice following treatment time. The whitening effect was evaluated by a change in lightness value relative to the contact time of hydrogen peroxide, by using artificially stained hydroxyapatite discs. The anti-calculus effect was assessed based on the amount of calcium eluted from the human dental calculus by sodium pyrophosphate. Remineralization was evaluated by the Vickers hardness test following the application of sodium fluoride to bovine enamel. In order to view dentinal tubules occlusion, the formation of insoluble calcium salts by bovine dentin specimens was observed using scanning electron microscopy. Change in lightness value (${\Delta}L$) was $5.50{\pm}1.51$ after 1 min of treatment, $5.73{\pm}0.43$ after 3 min, $8.64{\pm}0.24$ after 10 min, $18.93{\pm}0.76$ after 30 min, and $27.35{\pm}0.54$ after 60 min. The amount of calcium eluted from the human dental calculus was $4.23{\pm}0.14ppm$ after 1 min of treatment, $4.51{\pm}0.04ppm$ after 3 min, $12.12{\pm}0.16ppm$ after 10 min, $17.85{\pm}0.81ppm$ after 30 min, and $25.15{\pm}0.32ppm$ after 60 min. The Vickers hardness change value (${\Delta}VHN$) was $1.96{\pm}1.44$ after 1 min, $1.52{\pm}1.06$ after 3 min, $9.06{\pm}0.15$ after 10 min, $10.83{\pm}5.13$ after 30 min, and $12.55{\pm}2.09$ after 60 min. Partial dentinal tubules occlusion was observed at 10 min and complete occlusion was evident at 60 min. In summary, the use of patch type dentifrices for 10, 30, or 60 min were 1.57 to 8.26 times more effective than using the paste type dentifrices for 1 to 3 min. Based on these findings, it is reasonable to expect that the use of patch type dentifrices for 10 min would lead to remineralization, anti-calculus and dentinal tubules occlusion effects, and that use for 30 min would result in a whitening effect.

This study was examined on the change of mineral contents (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium Zinc, Iron, Sodium, Phosphorus) in Sam-gye-tang broth cooked by various cooker and boiling time. The results were as follows; 1) In cauldron, the contents of Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium Zinc Iron Sodium, Phosphorus were increased in proportion to boiling time. In pressure cooker, the contents of Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc are increased according to boiling time but the contents of Iron, Sodium, Phosphorus were showed the maxium value at 120 minutes and were decreased since then. 2) Ca/P was 1:0.91 in raw materials of Sam-gye-tang. But the extracting rate of Ca/P of the broth cooked in cauldron was 1:3.58∼1:4.68 and 1:2.02∼l:3.96 in pressure cooker. This rate was quite different from the recommended one of 1:1∼l:1.5. 3) In the increasing rate of minerals according to boiling time, the increasing rate of Calcium was showed similar in cauldron and pressure cooker, but Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Phosphorus were showed the maximum increasing rate from 30 to 60 minutes in cauldron and pressue cooker. Zinc was showed the maximum increasing rate from 120 to 150 minutes in cauldron and from 30 to 60 minutes in pressure cooker.

After the preparation of low-cost conductive paste containing Ag-coated Cu flakes, thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the paste were measured with different curing conditions. Under air-curing conditions, the thermal conductivity of the cured sample increased with an increase of curing time from 30 to 60 min. After identical curing time of 60 min, the sample cured under nitrogen indicated more enhanced thermal conductivity than that cured under air, approaching that of paste containing pure Ag flakes. Under air-curing conditions, meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of the cured sample increased with an increase of curing time from 30 to 60 min. After identical curing time of 60 min, however, the sample cured under nitrogen indicated extremely enhanced electrical resistivity ($7.59{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) in comparison with that cured under air.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the deformation of the complete denture artificial teeth arrangement after festooning over time. Materials and Methods: 10 wax dentures of equal teeth arrangement and equal gingival contour were used in this study. Festooning of the wax dentures were conducted and 3D model scans were conducted every 10 minutes for 120 minutes. Interdental transverse distances were measured with the scanned images. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS Ver. 22. 0. Results: Interdental transverse distance between teeth varied from 0.0999 mm to 0.1787 mm. Mean rate of deformation showed statistically significant change between the 40 - 50 minute interval and 50 - 60 minute interval and between the 50 - 60 minute interval and 60 - 70 minute interval. No statistically significant change of the mean rate of deformation was observed later on. Conclusion: Monitoring of the interdental transverse distance for 120 minute after festooning have shown the deformation and displacment of the artificial teeth arrangement. From after the 60 - 70 minute interval after festooning, the mean deformation showed no statistically significant change of the mean rate of deformation was observed. Within the limitations of this in vitro study results suggest that the final occlusal adjustment in wax denture before complete denture curing should be proceeded at least 60 minutes later after festooning.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Sulgidduck made with commercial dry rice powder, providing an optimal milk ratio and soaking time for dry powder in water to make Sulgidduck using dry rice powder. The Sulgidduk samples with dry rice powder were prepared with two soaking times (0, 30 min) and different amounts of milk (0, 20, 40, 60%), and analyzed for moisture content, Hunter's color value, texture characteristics and sensory evaluation. The moisture content of the samples ranged from 36.37% to 39.80% and the highest moisture quantity was showed in the group with 20% of milk and 30min of soaking time(SM20). The L-value was the highest in the group with 20% of milk and 0min of soaking time(M20). The b-value was increased with the amount of milk and soaking time increased, showing the highest in the group with 60% of milk and 30min of soaking time(SM60). TPA showed that SM20 had the lowest hardness and the highest adhesiveness. Chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness were the highest in the group with 60% of milk and 0min of soaking time(M60). Based on quantitative descriptive sensory evaluations, the score of white color and moistness was showed high in the group with 0% of milk and 0min of soaking time(M0), and white powder on the surface was shown the most in the group with 20% of milk and 30min of soaking time(SM20). The score of moistness, springiness and chewiness were highest in the group with 20% of milk and 0min of soaking time(M20). Sulgidduk made with 20% of milk and 0min of soaking time(M20) was the most preferable in color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability.

Background: Retrograde cerebral perfusion(RCP) is one of the methods used for brain protection during aortic arch surgery. The author previously published the data, however, for the safety of it, there still remains many controversies. The author performed RCP and checked various parameters to clarify the possibility of early detection of cerebral injury. Material and Method: The author used pigs(Landrace species) weighing 25 to 30kg and performed RCP for 120 minutes. After weaning of cardiopulmonary bypass, we observed pigs for another 120 minutes. Rectal temperature, jugular venous oxygen saturation, central venous pressure were continuously monitored, and the hemodynamic values, histological changes, and serum levels of neuron-specific enolose(NSE) and S100$\beta$ protein were checked. Central venous pressure during RCP was maintained in the range of 20 to 25 mmHg. Result: Flow rates(ml/min) during RCP were 224.3$\pm$87.5(20min), 227.1$\pm$111.0(40min), 221.4$\pm$119.5(60min), 230.0$\pm$136.5(80min), 234.3$\pm$146.1(100min), and 184.3$\pm$50.5(120min). Serum levels of NSE did not increase after retrograde cerebral perfusion. Serum levels of S100$\beta$ protein(ng/ml) were 0.12$\pm$0.07(induction of anesthesia), 0.12$\pm$0.07(soon after CPB), 0.19$\pm$0.12(20min after CPB), 0.25$\pm$0.06(RCP 20min), 0.29$\pm$0.08(RCP 40min), 0.41$\pm$0.05(60min), 0.49$\pm$0.03(RCP 80min), 0.51$\pm$0.10(RCP 100min), 0.46$\pm$0.11(RCP 120min), 0.52$\pm$0.15(CPBoff 60min), 0.62$\pm$0.15(60min after rewarming), 0.76$\pm$0.17(CPBoff 30min), 0.81$\pm$0.20(CPBoff 60min), 0.84$\pm$0.23(CPBoff 90min) and 0.94$\pm$0.33(CPBoff 120min). The levels of S100$\beta$ after RCP were significantly higher than thosebefore RCP(p<0.05). The author could observe the mitochondrial swellings using transmission electron microscopy in neocortex, basal ganglia and hippocampus(CA1 region). Conclusion: The author observed the increase of serum S100$\beta$ after 120 minutes of RCP. The correlation between its level and brain injury is still unclear. The results should be reevaluated with longterm survival model also considering the confounding factors like cardiopulmonary bypass.
