The effect of ultrasonic radiation is reported for silica-poly(ethylene glycol) system prepared without the solvent using sol-gel processing by varying various parameters such as ultrasonic irradiation time, PEG content and HCl/TEOS molar ratio. The property of sonogel is compared with classic gel which has been prepared with ethanol as a solvent by traditional sol-gel processing. SEM, BET, DTA-TGA, density and Vickers hardness measurements are carried out for analyzing the samples. The gelation time is found strongly dependent on radiation time, PEG content and pH value, and has been discussed on the basis of existing theories. The $SiO_2-10$ & 20 wt% PEG sonogel exhibited superior optical, physical and gel properties as compared to the classic gel, hence, found suitable for device applications. The ultrasonic radiation increased the density and surface area, and also reduced the pore size which is well supported by the shift in the peak of DTA curve. The DTA thermogram was found similar to that of pure silica gel.

본 연구는 환자의 경추보호대 착용 여부에 따른 후두마스크기도기(LMA)와 I-gel, Streamlined Liner of the Pharynx Airway(SLIPA) 등 3가지 성문위기구의 삽관 용이성을 비교하기 위해 시행되었다. 응급의료현장에서 활동 중인 119 구급대원 39명에게 3가지 성문위기구에 대한 짧은 교육을 시행한 후 삽관시간과 삽관시도횟수를 측정하였다. 삽관시간은 중립위와 경추보호대 착용 시 모두 I-gel($10.5{\pm}2.2$, $11.4{\pm}5.7$), SLIPA($12.3 {\pm}5.1$, $12.0{\pm}6.8$), LMA($17.2{\pm}3.2$, $18.5{\pm}5.5$) 순으로 빨랐다 (p<0.05). 각 기도기별 중립위와 경추보호대 착용 시 삽관시간의 차이는 없었다. 결론적으로 I-gel과 SLIPA가 LMA보다 중립위와 경추보호대 착용 시 모두에서 삽관시간이 더 빠른 결과를 보였다.

Purpose : This study was designed to compare the easiness and speed of insertion of three supraglottic airway devices(SADs) in a manikin setting. Methods : Three different SADs - Laryngeal Mask Classic(cLMA), I-gel and Streamlined Liner of the Pharynx Airway(SLIPA) were applied. One hundred and nineteen paramedical students with(group H) or without (group L) previous airway experience were taught brief manikin training about the use of the cLMA, I-gel and SLIPA. The students inserted each device in a randomized order. Time to effective ventilation was recorded in seconds from holding the device to the first chest inflation. Success was determined as adequate chest wall movement. Results : The insertion attempts were lesser in I-gel($1.00{\pm}0.00$) and SLIPA($1.05{\pm}0.27$) than cLMA($1.16{\pm}0.41$, p<.05). The shortest time to insertion was recorded for I-gel($10.5{\pm}3.0sec$), followed by the SLIPA($12.9{\pm}4.5sec$) and cLMA($19.6{\pm}4.1sec$, p<.05). There were no significant differences in the insertion attempts and insertion time of I-gel between group L and group H. But in cLMA, longer insertion time and more insertion attempts were recorded in group L than group H. Conclusion : Both I-gel and SLIPA were superior to cLMA in the easiness and speed of insertion. Even in novice students, I-gel showed an excellent result in a manikin.

An inorganic-organic hybrid system, silica-poly(ethylene glycol) songel is reported. This system was prepared via sol-gel method by varying varous processing variables. e.g. ultrasonic radiation time, gelling temperanture, PEG content and its molecular weight. Various experimental techniques wee employed to analyze the morphological, mechanical and optical properties of the system. The results were discussed in the light of existing theories. The sonogel system exhibited the common features of inorganic-organic hybrids. $SiO_2-10$ wt% PEG sonogel exhibited the morphological and optical properties superior to those reported earlier for the classic gels and found suitable for device applications.

Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), a classic enzyme involved in purine catabolism, can catalyze the formation of redox-signaling reactive oxygen and nitrogen species such as superoxide and nitric oxide. We generated transgenic plants of Arabidopsis in which XDH was knocked out by introduction of hairpin RNA-expression vector. Expression analysis by reverse transcription-PCR and in-gel staining of XDH activity revealed that transgenic lines efficiently suppressedXDH expression at the transcriptional level, demonstrating that RNA interference was successfully induced. XDH-suppressed transgenic lines exhibitedincreased biomass production during the growth of seedlings.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that represents the most common form of dementia among the elderly population. The deposition of aggregated ${\beta}$-amyloid ($A{\beta}$) senile plaques in the human brain is a classic observation in the neuropathology of AD, yet an understanding of the mechanism of their formation remains elusive. $A{\beta}$ is formed through endoproteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by ${\beta}$-secretase (BACE1, ${\beta}$-site APP-cleaving enzyme) and ${\gamma}$-secretase. In this study, BACE1 protein was successfully over-expressed, purified, and refolded and utilized in a binding study with hispidin. We developed a simpler refolding method using a urea gradient and size-exclusion gel filtration to purify an active BACE1 protein variant, in larger quantities than that reported previously, and measured the binding affinity of hispidin to the BACE1 protein variant through isothermal titration calorimetry.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possible application of 2 D-SDS-PAGE (2 DE)-based proteome analysis techniques to the assessment of extreme proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle. Eight Hanwoo longissimus muscles were incubated immediately after slaughter for 24 h at 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ or 36$^{\circ}C$. Warner Bratzler (WB)-shear force and ultrastructural configuration were determined at 24 h, and rate of proteolysis to 24 h was determined by 1 D-SDS-PAGE (1 DE) and 2 DE. In addition, tentative protein identification was performed from peptide mass fingerprints of MALDI-ToF analysis of major protein groups on 2 DE profiles. The result showed that although ultrastructural configuration was similar between the 5$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ treatments, meat at 5$^{\circ}C$ had higher WBshear force (approximately 5 kg greater). A higher rate of protein degradation at 36$^{\circ}C$ was observed based on Troponin-T degradation, 1 DE, and 2 DE analysis. This indicates that proteolysis during the early postmortem period was a significant determinant of shear force at 24 h. Little difference in proteolysis between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ treatments was found based on classic 1 DE profile assessment. Meanwhile, considerable differences in the 2 DE profiles between the two treatments were revealed, with substantially higher rate of proteolysis at 15$^{\circ}C$ compared to 5$^{\circ}C$. Nuclease treatment improved 2 DE profile resolution. 400 ${\mu}$g and 600 ${\mu}$g of sample loading appeared to be appropriate for 24 cm pH 3-10 and pH 5-7 IPG strips, respectively. Protein detection and quantification of the 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ 2 DE profiles revealed 78, 163 and 232 protein spots respectively that were differentially modified in terms of their electrophoretic properties between approximately pI 5.3-7.7 with the molecular weight range of approximately 71-12 kDa. The current results demonstrated that 2 DE was a superior tool to 1 DE for characterising proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle.

사슴뿔은 동물세계에서 가장 빨리 성장하는 조직이다. 따라서 성장중인 사슴뿔은 뼈 성장을 촉진하는 인자가 풍부하게 포함된 것으로 생각된다. 이들 성장인자들 중 IGF-1은 뼈를 자라게 하는 조골세포의 대사에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있어 이를 정제하고자 하였다. IGF-1의 정제는 상대라고 불리는 신선한 사슴뿔을 유안침전, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B 이온교환수지, CM-Sepharose CL-6B 양이온교환수지, Sephadex G-50의 순차적인 방법으로 할 수 있었다. 각 과정마다 IGF-1의 거동을 HPLC, SDS-PAGE, Dot blot, 그리고 western blot으로 분석하였다. IGF-1의 정량은 ELISA기술로 재조합 인간 IGF-1을 이용하여 계산되었으며, 최종 분별 액은 두 개의 단백질을 보였으나, Western-blot에서 작은 분자량인 12 kDa으로 최종 판명할 수 있었다. 정제된 단백질은 HPLC에서 retention 시간 8분만에 검출되었으며, 총 농도는 2910 ng/ml 이고 중량은 0.291 g 이었다.
