In this study, the adhesive strength of three commercial polycarboxylate cements to ten types of dental casting alloys, such as gold, palladium, silver, indium, copper, nickel, chromium, and human enamel and dentine were measured and compared with that of a conventional zinc phosphate cement. The $8.0mm{\times}3.0mm$ cylindrical alloy specimens were made by casting. The enamel specimens were prepared from the labial surface of human upper incisor, and the dentine specimens were prepared from the occulusal surface of the human molar respectively. Sound extracted human teeth, which had been kept in a fresh condition since, extraction, were mounted in a wax box with a cold-curing acrylic resin to expose the flattened area. The mounted teeth were then placed in a Specimen Cutter (Technicut) and were cut down under a water spray, and then the flat area on the all specimens were ground by hand with 400 and 600 grit wet silicone carbide paper. Two such specimens were then cemented together face-to-face with freshly mixed cement, and moderate finger pressure was applied to squeeze the cement to a thin and uniform film. All cemented specimens were then kept in a thermostatic humidor cabinet regulated at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C.$ and more than 95 per cent relative humidity and tested after 24 hours and 1 week. Link chain was attached to each alloy specimen to reduce the rigidity of the jig assembly, and then all the specimens were mounted in the grips of the Instron Universal Testing Machine, and a tensile load was delivered to the adhering surface at a cross head speed of 0.20 mm/min. The loads to which the specimens were subjected were recorded on a chart moving at 0.50 mm/min. The adhesive strength was determined by measuring the load when the specimen separated from the cement block and by dividing the load by the area. The test was performed in a room at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C.$ and $50{\pm}10$ per cent relative humidity. A minimum of five specimens were tested each material and those which deviated more than 15 per cent from the mean were discarded and new specimens prepared. From the experiments, the following results were obtained. 1) It was found that the adhesive strength of the polycarboxylate cement to all alloys tested was considerably greater than that of the zinc phosphate cement. 2) The adhesive strength of the polycarboxylate cements was superior to the non precious alloys, such as the copper, indium, nickel and chromium alloys, but it was inferior to the precious gold, silver and palladium alloys. 3) Surface treatment of the alloy was found to be an important factor in achieving adhesion. It appears that a polycarboxylate cement will adhere better to a smooth surface than to a rough one. This contrasts with zinc phosphate cements, where a rough helps mechanical interlocking. 4) The adhesion of the polycarboxylate cement with enamel was found superior to its adhesion with dentine.

The cDNA sequence of the Japanese flounder (Paralychthys olivaceus) IgD has been previously reported (GenBank accession no. AB052658) and this was followed by the detection of IgD mRNA expression in some flounder organ tissues. However, it has not been determined whether the flounder IgD gene is virtually expressed into IgD protein. To characterize the flounder immunoglobulins utilized in elucidating the mechanism, evolution and diversity of the flounder immune system, antibodies specific to IgD and IgM were necessary. In the present study, partial flounder recombinant IgD (rIgD), IgM (rIgM) and the conserved regions of IgD and IgM (rCIg) were produced by cloning the cDNA sequence using isotype specific primers which were designed to produce unique fragments of IgD and IgM specific amino acid sequences. The production of recombinant Igs was ascertained by SDS-gel electrophoresis and immunoblot analysis using anti-T7$\cdot}$Taq antibody. The produced recombinant Igs were purified using affinity columns, and used as immunogens. Antibodies specific to the isotype of flounder Igs were generated by immunizing rabbits with rfIgs and the antibodies produced were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting. Specificities of the generated antibodies were evaluated by testing cross-reactivity between recombinant IgM and IgD. By ELISA, rabbit antibodies against the rfIgD fragment (anti-rfIgD) failed to recognize any kind of flounder serum Igs, whereas respective antibodies against rfCIg (anti-rfCIg) and rfIgM fragments (anti-rfIgM) reacted with serum Igs. Likewise, in immunoblot assays, though anti-rfIgD did not, both anti-rfCIg and anti-rfIgM bound with the ~85 kd flounder IgM heavy chain. By flow cytometry analysis, anti-rfCIg, anti-rfIgD and anti-rfIgM reacted with 6%, 3% and 6.5% of cells, respectively, suggesting that flounder IgD is not secreted in serum but expressed on flounder B-like cell surfaces as in mammals. Antibodies produced against recombinant flounder Igs could be used to develop sandwich assay systems for detecting flounder Igs and for further investigating the flounder immune system.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and in vitro bioactivity to osteoblasts of magnesium and magnesium-hydroxyapatite coated titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Themagnesium (Mg) and magnesium-hydroxyapatite (Mg-HA) coatings on titanium (Ti) substrates were prepared by radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering.The samples were divided into non-coated smooth Ti (Ti-S group), Mg coatinggroup (Ti-Mg group), and Mg-HA coating group (Ti-MgHA group).The surface properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface roughness was evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cell adhesion, cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were evaluated using MC3T3-E1 cells. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed. RESULTS. Cross-sectional SEM images showed that Mg and Mg-HA depositionson titanium substrates were performed successfully. The surface roughness appeared to be similaramong the three groups. Ti-MgHA and Ti-Mg group had improved cellular responses with regard to the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and bone-associated markers, such as bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA compared to those of Ti-S group. However, the differences between Ti-Mg group and Ti-MgHA group were not significant, in spite of the tendency of higher proliferation, ALP activity and BSP expression in Ti-MgHA group. CONCLUSION. Mg and Mg-HAcoatings could stimulate the differentiation into osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, potentially contributing to rapid osseointegration.

1958년부터 약 50년간 춘천역 앞에 주둔했던 캠프페이지가 시민에게 개방되었다. 춘천시는 이 부지를 공원으로 조성할 계획이나 공원의 조성방향 및 재원 등의 문제로 사업의 추진에서부터 난항을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 캠프페이지 이용자를 대상으로 부지 활용에 대한 인식조사를 진행하여 효율적인 공원조성 방향에 기여하고자 하였다. 연구방법으로 설문의 대상을 춘천시민과 관광객으로 구분하여 현장 및 온라인설문조사를 진행하였고, 1,360부의 유효 표본수를 빈도분석, 교차분석, t-test 등 분석방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 춘천시 이미지에 대하여 춘천시민은 청정호반도시, 관광객은 관광레저도시로 인식하였다. 이에 자연을 보호하면서도 레저활동을 즐길 수 있도록 다양한 프로그램을 구성해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 둘째, 캠프페이지에 대하여 관광객의 인지도는 낮은 수준이었으며, 춘천시민과 관광객 모두 여가를 즐기기에 충분치 못한 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 캠프페이지 공간조성 방향으로는 "문화예술공간 및 자연체험공간"에 대한 응답이 많아, 문화예술과 자연체험활동을 함께 즐길 수 있는 공간으로 조성되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 춘천시 여가시설 발전방향으로 노후된 시설 등의 개선과 더불어 프로그램간의 연계상품 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 연구는 지속적으로 통폐합되고 있는 미군반환기지의 효율적인 활용을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Monitoring and control of PM_2.5 are being recognized as key to address health issues attributed to PM_2.5. Availability of low-cost PM_2.5 sensors made it possible to introduce a number of portable PM_2.5 monitors based on light scattering to the consumer market at an affordable price. Accuracy of light scatteringe-based PM_2.5 monitors significantly depends on the method of calibration. Static calibration curve is used as the most popular calibration method for low-cost PM_2.5 sensors particularly because of ease of application. Drawback in this approach is, however, the lack of accuracy. Methods: This study discussed the calibration of a low-cost PM_2.5-monitoring device (PMD) to improve the accuracy and reliability for practical use. The proposed method is based on construction of the PM_2.5 sensor network using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol and web query of reference measurement data available at government-authorized PM monitoring station (GAMS) in the republic of Korea. Four machine learning (ML) algorithms such as support vector machine, k-nearest neighbors, random forest, and extreme gradient boosting were used as regression models to calibrate the PMD measurements of PM_2.5. Performance of each ML algorithm was evaluated using stratified K-fold cross-validation, and a linear regression model was used as a reference. Results: Based on the performance of ML algorithms used, regression of the output of the PMD to PM_2.5 concentrations data available from the GAMS through web query was effective. The extreme gradient boosting algorithm showed the best performance with a mean coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.78 and standard error of 5.0 ㎍/㎥, corresponding to 8% increase in R² and 12% decrease in root mean square error in comparison with the linear regression model. Minimum 100 hours of calibration period was found required to calibrate the PMD to its full capacity. Calibration method proposed poses a limitation on the location of the PMD being in the vicinity of the GAMS. As the number of the PMD participating in the sensor network increases, however, calibrated PMDs can be used as reference devices to nearby PMDs that require calibration, forming a calibration chain through MQTT protocol. Conclusions: Calibration of a low-cost PMD, which is based on construction of PM_2.5 sensor network using MQTT protocol and web query of reference measurement data available at a GAMS, significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of a PMD, thereby making practical use of the low-cost PMD possible.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem in the Asia-Pacific region including Thailand. Several factors have been proposed as contributing to hepatocarcinogenesis. This study was aimed to investigate the impact of CYP2C19 genotypic polymorphism in HCC related to chronic HBV infection in Thailand. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed between April 2014 and January 2015. Chronic HBV patients with HCC (n=50) and without HCC (n=50) were included. Clinical information and blood samples of all patients were collected. The CYP2C19 genotype was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, and was classified as rapid metabolizer (RM), intermediate metabolizer (IM) or poor metabolizer (PM). Results: The CYP2C19 genotype frequencies of RM, IM and PM in HBV patients were found to be 19/50 (38%), 25/50 (50%) and 6/50 (12%), respectively. The CYP2C19 genotype frequencies of RM, IM and PM in HBV with HCC patients were 21/50 (42%), 25/50 (50%) and 4/50 (8%), respectively. The distribution of CYP2C19 genotype was not different between patients with and without HCC. Interestingly, among HBV with HCC patients, the RM genotype of CYP2C19 tended to increase risk of aggressive manifestation (OR=2.89, 95%CI=0.76-11.25, P-value=0.07), compared with non RM genotype carriers. Conclusions: CYP2C19 genotype IM was the most common genotype in Thai patients with chronic HBV infection. In addition, genotype RM could be an associated factor for aggressive presentation in HCC related to chronic HBV infection.

매실(Prunus mume Siebold et Zucc.)은 장미과에 속하는 과수로 한국에서는 전통적으로 기침이나 소화불량의 민간 요법 과실로써 사랑받아 왔다. 1993년 국립원예특작과학원 배시험장에서 '옥영'과 '임주'를 교배하여 그 중 과실이 크고 과형이 좋으며 풍산성인 '옥주' 품종을 2006년에 선발, 육성하여 새로운 품종으로 등록하였다(등록번호: 4556호, 2013.6.18). '옥주' 품종의 만개기는 '옥영'보다 4일, '임주'보다 2일 빠르며 꽃잎색은 분홍색이고 꽃가루는 없다. PCR을 이용한 자가불화합인자 분석결과, 옥주의 자가불화합성 인자는 $S_3S_6$이었다. '옥주'의 성숙기는 6월 하순으로 과실은 원형이며 봉합선이 얕다. 평균과중 18.5g이며 가용성 고형물 함량은 $7.66^{\circ}Brix$, 산 함량은 4.81%, 과피색은 녹색이지만 햇빛을 많이 받는 쪽의 과실 일부가 적색을 띄기도 한다. 또한, 검은별무늬병과 세균성구멍병의 발생이 비교적 적고, 수량성이 높아 재배농가들이 새로운 품종을 선택할 수 있는 기회를 준다는 점에서 그 의의가 클 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 유전자 변형 옥수수(GM 옥수수)에 특이한 단크론성 항체를 개발하고 이에 대한 특성을 확인하는 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 먼저 형질전환 대장균으로부터 PAT 단백질을 발현시킬 수 있는 시스템을 확립하였고, 재조합 PAT 단백질을 대량 생산하여 항원으로 사용하였다. 준비된 항원을 면역한 결과 재조합 PAT 단백질의 항원성은 매우 높은 것으로 확인되었으며, 세포융합과 클로닝을 통해 12 종의 hybridoma를 확립하였고 western blot 결과 10 종의 hybridoma가 재조합 PAT 단백질과 강한 반응성을 나타내었다. 10종의 hybridoma가 생산하는 항체가 실제 GM 옥수수에 반응하는지를 추가의 western blot으로 분석한 결과 2종의 단크론성 항체(PATmAb-7 and PATmAb-12)가 재조합 PAT 단백질뿐만 아니라 실제 GM 옥수수 중 PAT와 반응하는 것으로 확인되었다. 항체를 대량 생산하고 정제한 후 2종의 항체는 SDS-PAGE 상에서 대표적인 항체의 분리패턴(heavy와 light chain)을 나타내었고, 전형적인 $IgG_1$과 ${\kappa}$ type으로 확인되었다. 정제된 단크론성 항체는 특성을 조사한 결과 다른 GMO에서 발현될 수 있는 재조합 단백질과 non-GM 옥수수 추출물에는 반응성이 없고 PAT 단백질에만 특이적으로 반응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. PATmAb-7 를 이용한 간접효소면역분석법의 검출한계는 0.3 ng/mL 수준으로 기준의 유전자변형 콩 면역분석법과 비교했을 때 높은 민감도를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 개발된 2종의 항체(PATmAb-7 and PATmAb-12)는 GM 옥수수에서 발현되는 PAT 단백질에 특이적으로 반응하는 항체로 확인되었고, 2종의 항체를 이용한 면역분석법과 바이오센서의 개발 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.
