Smart manufacturing (SM) considered as a new trend of modern manufacturing helps to meet objectives associated with the productivity, quality, cost and competiveness. It is characterized by decentralized, distributed, networked compositions of autonomous systems. The model of SM is inherited from the organization of the living systems in biology and nature such as ant colony, school of fish, bee's foraging behaviors, and so on. In which, the resources of the manufacturing system are considered as biological organisms, which are autonomous entities so that the manufacturing system has the advanced characteristics inspired from biology such as self-adaptation, self-diagnosis, and self-healing. To prove this concept, a cloud machining system is considered as research object in which internet of things and cloud computing are used to integrate, organize and allocate the machining resources. Artificial life tools are used for cooperation among autonomous elements in the cloud machining system.

Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new capillary blood vessels, or neovascularization occurring under various physical conditions, such as development of the embryo, formation of corpus luteum, wound healing and pathological conditions including tumor growth and metastases, hemangiomas, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis. There are many evidences that angiogenesis is important for the progressive growth of solid tumors and also permits the shedding of metastatic tumors from the primary site. Thus, treatment of angiogenesis inhibitors might be a novel strategy for tumor growth inhibition. Normal vascular endothelial cells are in a state of differentiation and angiogenic endothelial cells migrate and proliferate, and they subsequently differentiate into vessel-forming quiescent phenotype cells, Therfore, it was speculated that a modifier of cell differentiation could also affect angiogenesis. In order to identify new antiangiogenic factors, the research was conducted to estimate the inhibitory activities of cell differentiation agents by means of chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane(CAM) assay. Hence, we have established the CAM assay for the screening of antiangiogenic agents. Using the CAM assay, we found that ursolic acid, a tumor cell differentiation-inducing agent, showed a markedly inhibitory effect on chick embryonic angiogenesis.

DA-125, a new anthracycline derivative, shows significant anticancer activities. We conducted a study to examine the local irritating effect of DA-125 using mice and rabbits. In the skin test in mice, intradermal injection of 0.4 mg of DA-125, compared to a dosage of 0.2 mg of adriamycin, had weak irritating potentials to induce skin ulceration and erythematous induration. A dosage of 0.6 mg of DA-125 produced similar degree of lesions in perivascular irritation model to that of 0.2 mg of adriamycin, but the healing time was shorter in the case of mice treated with DA-125. In ocular irritation study in rabbit, the highest M.O.I.(mean ocular irritation index) of 0.5% DA-125 solution was 0.67, therefore DA-125 could be considered as a practically non-irritating anticancer agent. These results suggest that substitution of DA-125 for Adriamycin would reduces the possibility of outbreaks of local irritation and the severity of the lesions.

Manufacturing process for autonomic microcapsules was introduced and autonomic microcapsules were manufactured by varying with various manufacturing process variables. Urea-formaldehyde resin was used for the wall of microcapsules and DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) was used for the self-healing agent. The characteristics of these microcapsules was evaluated through a particle size analyaer, an optical microscope, and a TGA. The various manufacturing process variables, such as pH and agitation speed of the emulsified solution, were considered to focus in this study. According to the results, the particle size distributions were affected on the agitation speed of the emulsified solution, and the thermal stability was influenced by pH of the emulsified solution.

Rebamipide, 2-(4-chlorobenzoylamino)-3-[2(1H)-quinolinone-4-yl]-propionic acid, a novel antipeptic ulcer agent, has been reported to prevent various acute experimental gastric mucosal lesions and to accelerate the healing of chronic ulcers. Therapeutic effect of rebamipide was investigated with regard to the inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion of the enzyme which play a profound role in oxygen radicals generation system. Intraperitoneal administration of rebamipide at 60 mg/kg body weight reduced the xanthine oxidase activity, lipid peroxide content in ammonia induced hemorrhagic lesion. These results suggest that the therapeutic effect of rebamipide on gastric mucosal lesion may be in part due to the inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase and type conversion rate of the enzyme.

Centella asiatica (Linn.) Urban (Umbelliferae) which is also known as 'pegaga' is highly consumed and eaten raw as 'ulam' in Malaysia. C. asiatica is used in traditional medicines to treat various health conditions such as rheumatism, inflammation, syphilis, skin diseases and diarrhoea. Various reports exhibited that the crude extracts and isolated bioactive compounds of C. asiatica possessed a broad range of pharmacological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-tumor, wound healing, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and memory enhancing properties. The pharmacological validation on anti-microbial and immunomodulatory of C. asiatica is very limited and several existence review papers related for this plant had not been focused for both activities. This review therefore attempts to combine the existing literature to offer immense scope for researchers engaged in validation of the traditional claims and bioactivities of this plant related with anti-microbial and immunomodulatory potential.

The aim of this article is to argue that BanLyeo music (companion music) is much better than medicine. A companion who shares thoughts or actions, or a metaphorical description of an object that is always close or carried. Isn't the music that we share in our daily lives a BanLyeo music (companion music)? Music stays with us forever as long as we choose. Therefore, it is music that can go with us until the end, so I think we should call it BanLyeo music (companion music). Music can be with us whenever and wherever we want, soothing sadness and pain and cheering us up. Here is a person who is living a second life happily because of BanLyeo music. Beyond the passive listening to music, direct and active music performance is a great power to save one person. As a more effective healing agent than medicine, BanLyeo music is a great power to stay together for the rest of your life and cheer you up. So, I think music is much better than medicine.

Chlorhexidine and Listerine are widely used in dentistry due to its effectiveness on plaque control and bactericidal action. The effects of these agent on chronic gingivitis and wound healing following surgical periodontal therapy in human has been favorable. Understanding the effects of chlorhexidine and Listerine on human gingival fibroblast will provide the rationale for its use during the healing process of periodontal surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of chlorhexidine and Listerine on human gingival fibroblast. Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured from the healthy gingiva on the extracted premolar of orthodontic patients. Human gingival fibroblast were trypsinized and cultured in growth medium added range of 0.0012-0.12% chlorhexidine and 1-100% Listerine mouth wash solution. The cell used in this study were between fifth to eighth passage number. The cell morphology were examined by inverted microscope and the cell activity were measured by MIT assay. The Morphology of gingival fibroblast added Chlorhexidine and Listerine at the concentration of all range were became globular and lost their cytoplasmic process. Our results indicate that a 0.0012 concentration of chlorhexidine and 1% concentration of Listerine were shows minimal cytotoxicity, but above these concentraion, there was a significant difference between the cell activity in the experimental group and control group(p

Epithelial cell migration plays an important role in many physiological processes such as morphogenesis and wound healing, and cell mobility requires the release of the cell from its adhesion site. This is directed, at least in part, by limited proteolysis of matrix molecules by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are zinc-dependent proteases produced by a variety of cell types, and have a fundamental role in tissue remodelling, tumour invasion and metastasis. In addition, the ability of cells to mediate fibrinolytic agent, plasmin. The purpose of this study was to test if vascular endothlial growth factor (VEGF) can regulate the production of MMPs and plasmin by keratinocyte cells. Supernatants from a human keratinocyte cell line grown in the presence or absence of VEGF (10ng/mL) produced ?2.5 fold increases in cell proliferation, and ?3.0 fold increses in MMP-2 and plasmin levels. Our results suggest that VEGF may modulate keratinocyte cell proliferating activity by increasing the abundance of MMP-2 and plasmin, and indicates a role for VEGF in the regulation of keratinocyte behaviour in wound healing and tissue remodelling.
