MBE 방법으로 Si 기판위에 성장된 CdTe(211) 박막위에 MOVPE 법으로 HgCdTe 박막을 성장하였다. 성장된 박막의 표면은 hillock 등의 결함이 없는 매우 균일한 형상을 보였다. HgCdTe 박막표면의 EPD(etch pit density) 및 (422) 결정면의 이중 결정 x-선 회절 피크의 반치폭으로 본 결정성은 GaAs 기판위에 성장된 HgCdTe 박막에 비하여 우수하였다. GaAs 기판 위에 MOVPE 법으로 성장된 HgCdTe는 기판처리 과정에서 유입된 p-형 불순물로 인해 p-형 전도성을 나타내었으나 (211)CdTe 기판 위에 성장된 박막은 77K에서 $8{\times}10^{14}/cm^3$의 운반자 농도를 갖는 n-형 전도성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 최근 요구되고 있는 $1024{\times}1024$급 이상의 화소를 갖는 대면적 HgCdTe 적외선 소자 제작에 널리 적용될 것으로 판단된다.

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ (RANK) axis, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) participate in vascular calcification process including atherosclerosis, but their contributions under high glucose (HG) and phosphate (HP) condition for a long-term period (more than 2 weeks) have not been fully determined. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HG and HP levels over 2 or 4 weeks on the progression of vascular calcification in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Calcium deposition in VSMCs was increased in medium containing HG (30 mmol/L D-glucose) with ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate (${\beta}$-GP, 12 mmol/L) after 2 weeks and increased further after 4 weeks. OPG mRNA and protein expressions were unchanged in HG group with or without ${\beta}$-GP after 2 weeks. However, after 4 weeks, OPG mRNA and protein expressions were significantly lower in HG group with ${\beta}$-GP. No significant expression changes were observed in RANKL, RANK, or TRAIL during the experiment. After 4 weeks of treatment in HG group containing ${\beta}$-GP and rhBMP-7, an inhibitor of vascular calcification, OPG expressions were maintained. Furthermore, mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a marker of vascular mineralization, was lower in the presence of rhBMP-7. These results suggest that low OPG levels after long term HG and phosphate stimulation might reduce the binding of OPG to RANKL and TRAIL, and these changes could increase osteo-inductive VSMC differentiation, especially vascular mineralization reflected by increased ALP activity during vascular calcification.

Background: The Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure is a method for mitigating the risk of systemic ventricular outflow tract obstruction (SVOTO). However, there have been few reports on which surgical technique shows a better outcome. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of the DKS procedure according to the surgical technique used. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 12 consecutive patients who underwent the DKS procedure from March 2004 to April 2013. When the relationship of the great arteries was anterior-posterior, the double-barrel technique (group A) was performed. If the relationship was side-by-side, the ascending aortic flap technique (group B) was performed. Results: There was no early mortality and 1 late mortality in group B. There was no statistically significant difference in the median peak pressure gradient of preoperative subaortic stenosis in both groups: 14 mmHg (range, 4 to 53 mmHg) in group A and 15 mmHg (range, 0 to 30 mmHg) in group B (p=0.526). Further, a significant postoperative pressure gradient was not observed in either group A or group B. More than moderate postoperative neoaortic regurgitation was observed in 1 patient of group B; this patient underwent neoaortic valve replacement 66 months after the DKS procedure. No one had a recurrent SVOTO during follow-up. Conclusion: The DKS procedure is an effective way to minimize the risk of SVOTO, and there is little difference in the outcomes of the DKS procedure according to the surgical technique used.

Background: Intravenous sedation is effective for dental patients who are anxious. Recently, target-controlled infusion (TCI) has begun to be used widely to administer and titrate propofol and remifentanil during sedation. To investigate the effect and safety of the pharmacologic agents used in anesthetic department, we performed a retrospective study. Methods: Retrospective study of a series of dental procedure under intravenous sedation performed in department of anesthesiology in Dental Hospital of Dankook University was carried out with propofol or propofol/remifentanil between January and August 2011 and January and April 2012. All patients received oxygen by nasal cannula. The average propofol and remifentanil target was 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 1.0 ng/ml, respectively using a TCI pump. The average peripheral oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, nasal end-tidal $CO_2$ were recorded at 5-10 minute intervals. The age, gender, weight, procedure and sedation time, type of procedure were also recorded. Results: We included 22 cases of 19 adults (group A) and 6 cases of children (group B). In group A, 4 patients received propofol (group A-P), and 15 patients received propofol with remifentanil (group A-PR). In group B, 6 patients received propofol only. The mean age of group A was 41.1 years old and that of group B was 9.5 years old. No clinically significant complications were noted. There were no case of de-saturation <90%. The median respiratory rate was 13.1 (range 6 to 36) in group A and 19 (range 13 to 25) in group B. The median end tidal $CO_2$ was 36.7 mmHg(range 8 mmHg to 56 mmHg) in group A and 41.7 mmHg (range 30 mmHg to 53 mmHg) in group B. Conclusions: Based on our results, dental sedation using propofol/remifentanil in adult and propofol in children with TCI pump seems to appear as a safe and effective procedure while performing dental procedure.

PdOx 전극, Pd전극에서의 전기화학적 수소산화반응 특성을 30% KOH용액에서 온도와 수소농도를 변화시키면서 조사하였다. PdOx전극에서는 -0.8~-0.5V(vs. Hg/HgO)에서 전극 표면에 흡착된 수소의 산화반응이 주로 나타났고, Pd전극에서는 전극 표면에 흡착된 수소의 산화반응 뿐만 아니라 -0.5~0.0V(vs. Hg/HgO)에서 Pd과 수소가 직접 반응하여 형성된 금속수소화물이 산화되는 반응이 나타냈다. 두 전극 모두 수소농도의 증가에 따라 전하전달저항은 감소하였고, 교환전류는 증가하였다. PdOx 전극과 Pd전극의 경우 전달계수는 각각 0.78과 0.72로 Pd전극에서의 반응성이 우수하였다. 활성화에너지는 과전압이 증가할때 감소하였으며 PdOx 전극인 경우 23.9~20.3 KJ/mole, Pd전극인 경우 7.2~3.0KJ/mole로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 염화수은이 간 미세구조에 미치는 독성에 대한 키토산의 억제효과를 연구하는데 있다. 염화수은 단독 투여군(A군)에는 $HgCl_2$ (5.0 mg/kg)만을 구강투여하였다. 그리고 키토산과 염화수은 동시투여군(B군)에는 키토산 (3% solution, 2times/day)과 $HgCl_2$, (5.0mg/kg)을 구강투여하였다. 그러고 각 군은 24, 48, 72, 96 시간대에 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. A군 핵막은 다소 불규칙한 상태를 유지하였고, 사립체는 내외막이 파괴된 채로 관찰되었다. 과립형질내세망은 층판구조가 파괴되었고, 무과립형질내세망은 세포질 전체에 퍼져있는 것이 관찰되었다. 2. B군 핵막은 비교적 원형을 유지하였고, 사립체는 내외 막의 구분이 일부에서 불분명하게 관찰되었지만, 전자밀도가 높게 관찰되었다. 과립형질내세망의 내강 팽대가 앞시간대에서 관찰되었지만 전형적인 층판구조를 형성하였다. 그리고 무과립형질내세망이 세포질주변에서 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과는 키토산이 마우스 간중독을 야기한 염화수은의 독성을 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다.

Accurate Capacitance-Voltage characteristics of Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) devices in narrow band-gap semiconductors are presented. The unique band structure of narrow band-gap semiconductors is taken into account such as non-parabolicity and degeneracy. Compensated and partially ionized impurities either in the bulk or the space charge region are also considered. HgCdTe is a defect semiconductor, so this approach is very important for characterization and analysis of MIS devices.

Linearity characteristics of hetero-gate-dielectric tunneling field-effect transistors (HG TFETs) have been compared with those of high-k-only and $SiO_2$-only TFETs in terms of IIP3 and P1dB. It has been observed that the optimized HG TFETs have higher IIP3 and P1dB than high-k-only and $SiO_2$-only TFETs. It is because HG TFETs show higher transconductance ($g_m$) and current drivability than $SiO_2$-only TFETs and $g_m$ less sensitive to gate voltage than high-k-only TFETs.

In order to evaluate the pollution of heavy metals in offshore surface sediments around shipyards in Korea, surface sediment samples were collected at eleven stations around four major shipyards located in the southeastern coast of Korea in summer 2010 and nine kinds of heavy metals such as copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), chrome(Cr), arsenic(As), mercury(Hg), iron(Fe) and aluminum(Al) in sediments were analyzed. The concentrations of Cu at all sampling stations were in the range of 47.10~414.96 mg/kg and exceeded TEL(Threshold Effects Level) 20.6 mg-Cu/kg of Korean marine environmental standards for offshore sediments and ERL(Effect Range-Low) 34.0 mg-Cu/kg. The concentrations of Cu at seven stations around four shipyards were 65.18~414.96 mg/kg and exceeded PEL(Probable Effects Level) 64.4 mg-Cu/kg of Korean marine environmental standards for offshore sediments. The concentration of Cu at one station around B-shipyard was 414.96 mg/kg and exceeded ERM(Effect Range-Median) 270.0 mg-Cu/kg. The concentrations of Zn at all stations were in the range of 135.09~388.79 mg/kg which exceeded ERL 150.0 mg-Zn/kg. The concentrations of Zn at seven stations around four shipyards were 157.57~388.79 mg/kg and exceeded PEL 157.0 mg-Zn/kg. The concentration of Zn at one station around B-shipyard was 388.79 mg/kg and was approaching ERM 410.0 mg-Zn/kg. The concentrations of Cd at all stations were in the range of 0.11~0.54 mg/kg and were below TEL 0.75 mg-Cd/kg and ERL 1.2 mg-Cd/kg. The concentrations of Pb at all stations were in the range of 18.04~105.62 mg/kg. The concentrations of Pb at two stations around B-shipyard were 73.87~105.62 mg/kg which exceeded TEL 44.0 mg-Pb/kg and ERL 46.7 mg-Pb/kg, and were below PEL 119.0 mg-Pb/kg and ERM 218.0 mg-Pb/kg. The concentrations of Cr at all stations were in the range of 51.26~85.39 mg/kg. The concentration of Cr at one station around B-shipyard was 85.39 mg/kg and exceeded ERL 81.0 mg-Cr/kg. The concentrations of As at all stations were in the range of 8.70~22.15 mg/kg which exceeded ERL 8.2 mg-As/kg and were below ERM 70.0 mg-As/kg. The concentrations of As at eight stations around A-shipyard, B-shipyard and D-shipyard were 14.93~22.15 mg/kg which exceeded TEL 14.5 mg-As/kg and were below PEL 75.5 mg-As/kg. The concentrations of Hg at all stations were in the range of 0.02~0.35 mg/kg. The concentrations of Hg at three stations around A-shipyard were 0.11~0.13 mg/kg which were almost equal to TEL 0.11 mg-Hg/kg. Those at two stations around B-shipyard were 0.27~0.35 mg/kg which exceeded TEL 0.11 mg-Hg/kg and ERL 0.15 mg-Hg/kg, and were below PEL 0.62 mg-Hg/kg and ERM 0.71 mg-Hg/kg. The concentrations of Fe and Al at all stations were in the range of 2.90 3.66 % and 3.12 6.80 %, respectively. These results imply that heavy metals such as copper, zinc, lead, arsenic and mercury were likely to be transferred to marine environment from shipyards, especially from B-shipyard.
