Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in immunocompromised, especially transplant recipients, may induce a weaker immune response. But there are limited data on the immune response after COVID-19 vaccination in liver transplant (LT) recipients, especially on the comparison of Ab responses after different vaccine platforms between mRNA and adenoviral vector vaccines. Thus, we conducted a prospective study on LT recipients who received two doses of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (ChAdOx1), mRNA-1273, or BNT162b2 vaccines compared with healthy healthcare workers (HCWs). SARS-CoV-2 S1-specific IgG Ab titers were measured using ELISA. Overall, 89 LT recipients (ChAdOx1, n=16 [18%]) or mRNA vaccines (mRNA-1273 vaccine, n=23 [26%]; BNT162b2 vaccine, n=50 [56%]) received 3 different vaccines. Of them, 16 (18%) had a positive Ab response after one dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 62 (73%) after 2 doses. However, the median Ab titer after two doses of mRNA vaccines was significantly higher (44.6 IU/ml) than after two doses of ChAdOx1 (19.2 IU/ml, p=0.04). The longer time interval from transplantation was significantly associated with high Ab titers after two doses of vaccine (p=0.003). However, mycophenolic acid use was not associated with Ab titers (p=0.53). In conclusion, about 3-quarters of LT recipients had a positive Ab response after 2 doses of vaccine, and the mRNA vaccines induced higher Ab responses than the ChAdOx1 vaccine.

최근 통신용 전자부품의 소형화, 저가격화, 고기능화의 요구가 점점 더 증대되고 있으며 이를 위해서 기판의 배선밀도를 높이는 것과 개별 부품 또는 모듈의 크기와 무게를 줄이는 것이 절실히 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 저융점의 phosphate계 유리 프릿의 첨가를 통해 LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) 에 적용 가능한 조성을 개발하고자 하였다. 마이크로파 용 유전재료로서 널리 사용되고있는 BNT (BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_3$) 계 세라믹스에 저융점 유리 프릿의 양을 10-30wt% 범위로 변화시키면서 900-110$0^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 소결하여 이에 따른 수축률 변화와 상대밀도의 변화를 조사하였다 유리 프릿으로 P$_2$O$_{5}$-ZnO-BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$ 계, P$_2$O$_{5}$-SnO-ZnO 계 2가지 조성의 유리를 사용하였다 그 결과로 소결체의 상대밀도는 소성온도가 900-110$0^{\circ}C$ 로 증가함에 따라 85-96% 로 증가하였고, 그 수축률은 소결온도 100$0^{\circ}C$ 에서 급격히 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 저온 동시소성 세라믹 조성의 사용을 위해 좋은 결과가 예상된다.

BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$계 마이크로파 유전체 세라믹스에 결정화유리를 첨가하여 세라믹-결정화유리 복합체 유전재료를 제작하여, 적층 일체형 RF수동소자 모듈 구현을 위한 저온소결 유전재료로서의 응용가능성에 대해 검토하였다. BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$계 유전체 세라믹스에 PbO-TiO$_2$-Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$ 조성의 결정화 유리를 5∼30 wt% 범위로 첨가하여 소결온도를 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 105$0^{\circ}C$까지 낮출 수 있었으며, 첨가량의 증가에 따라 유리의 연화로 인한 소결밀도의 증가 및 입성장이 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. 특히, 결정화 유리를 20 wt% 이상 첨가하였을 경우, 105$0^{\circ}C$의 소결온도에서 95% 이상의 상대밀도를 갖는 양호한 소결체를 얻을 수 있었고, 이 때 유전을($\varepsilon$$_{r}$)은 72, 품질계수(Q-f)는 1500이었고, 공진주파수 온도계수($ au$$_{f}$)는 22ppm/$^{\circ}C$을 나타내었다. 이러한 높은 유전율은 유리속의 결정상 PbTiO$_3$의 존재에 기인한 것이다.

본 연구에서는 모바일 폰 안테나 모듈용 유전체 재료를 개발을 위해 20∼80의 유전율을 가지는 유리-세라믹스 복합체를 제조하고자 하였다. BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$계 세라믹스에 $K_2$O-CaO-P$_2$O$_{5}$계 글래스 프릿의 첨가를 통해 제조된 글래스-세라믹스 복합체의 소결특성과 유전특성을 조사하였다. BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$계 세라믹스에 글래스 프릿을 10∼40 wt% 범위로 첨가하였고, 900∼120$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 소결하였다. 그 결과로서, $K_2$O-CaO-P$_2$O$_{5}$계 글래스 프릿의 첨가량이 증가하고 소결온도가 증가할수록 소결수축률과 상대밀도가 증가하였다. 또한 유전율($\varepsilon$$_{r}$)과 품질계수(Q${\times}$f)는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

This study investigated microstructures, crystal structures, polarization, dielectric and electromechanical properties of 0.76Bi_1/2Na_1/2TiO₃-0.24SrTiO₃ (BNT-24ST)-based piezoceramcs by adding Li₂CO₃ and B₂O₃ (LB) as sintering aids for low-temperature sintering. All samples were successfully synthesized using conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 950, 1,000, 1,050, 1,100 and 1,175℃ for 2 hours. Without LB, specimens required sintering temperatures over 1,175℃ for sufficient densification, while the addition of 0.10-mol LB decreased the sintering temperatures down to 950℃. The average grain size and dielectric properties of BNT-24ST-10LB ceramics were enhanced with increasing sintering temperature. We found that the low-temperature sintered BNT-24ST piezoceramics by adding LB showed the d₃₃*value of 402 pm/V at 4 kV/mm after sintering at 1,050℃, which was better than that of high-temperature fired specimens sintered at 1,175℃ without LB (242 pm/V). We believe that the results of this study promise a candidate for low-cost multilayer ceramic actuator applications.

Correlation between vaccine reactogenicity and immunogenicity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is unclear. Thus, we investigated to determine whether the reactogenicity after coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination is associated with antibody (Ab) titers and T cell responses. This study was prospective cohort study done with 131 healthcare workers at tertiary center in Seoul, South Korea. The degrees of the local reactions after the 1st and 2nd doses of ChAdOx1 nCov-19 (ChAdOx1) vaccination were significantly associated with the S1-specific IgG Ab titers (p=0.003 and 0.01, respectively) and neutralizing Ab (p=0.04 and 0.10, respectively) in age- and sex-adjusted multivariate analysis, whereas those after the BNT162b2 vaccination did not show significant associations. T cell responses did not show significant associations with the degree of reactogenicity after the ChAdOx1 vaccination or the BNT162b2 vaccination. Thus, high degree of local reactogenicity after the ChAdOx1 vaccine may be used as an indicator of strong humoral immune responses against SARS-CoV-2.

This study investigated the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of lead-free 0.74(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃-0.26SrTiO₃ (BNST26) piezoelectric ceramics sintered using a microwave furnace. For comparison, specimens were also prepared using a conventional furnace sintering (CFS). Average grain sizes of 2.4 ㎛ and 3.2 ㎛ were obtained in the sample sintered at 1,100℃ for 5 min using microwave sintering (MWS) and at 1,175℃ for 2 h using CFS, respectively. To quantify the changes in the microstructures and electrical properties according to the sintering conditions, the polarization hysteresis, bipolar and unipolar strain curves, and temperature dependence of permittivity were evaluated. As a result, it was determined that the P_max (maximum polarization), P_r (remanent polarization) and S_max (maximum strain) values tend to increase with the average grain size. Based on these results, it is concluded that the MWS method can produce lead-free ceramics with superior performance in a relatively short time compared to the conventional CFS method.
