  • A cross-examination between KT&G Central Research Institute and Guangzhou Institute for Drug Control was carried out in order to select optimum conditions for extraction, separation and determination of ginsenosides in red ginseng and to propose a better method for the quantitative analysis of ginsenosides. The optimum extraction conditions of ginsenosides from red ginseng were as follows: the extraction solvent, $70\%$ methanol; the extraction temperature, $100^{\circ}C;$ the extraction time, 1 hour for once; and the repetition of extraction, twice. The optimum separation conditions of ginsenosides on the SepPak $C_{18}$ cartridge were as follows: the loaded amount, 0.4 g of methanol extract; the washing solvents, distilled water of 25 ml at first and then $30\%$ methanol of 25 ml; the elution solvent, $90\%$ methanol of 5 ml. The optimum HPLC conditions for the determination of ginsenosides were as follows: column, Lichrosorb $NH_2(25{\times}0.4cm,$ 5${\mu}m$, Merck Co.); mobile phase, a mixture of acetonitrile/water/isopropanol (80/5/15) and acetonitrile/water/isopropanol (80/20/15) with gradient system; and the detector, ELSD. On the basis of the optimum conditions a method for the quantitative analysis of ginsenosides were proposed and another cross-examination was carried out for the validation of the selected analytical method conditions. The coefficient of variances (CVs) on the contents of ginsenoside-$Rg_{1}$, -Re and $-Rb_1$ were lower than $3\%$ and the recovery rates of ginsenosides were $89.4\~95.7\%,$ which suggests that the above extraction and separation conditions may be reproducible and reasonable. For the selected HPLC/ELSD conditions, the CVs on the detector responses of ginsenoside-Rg, -Re and $-Rb_1$) were also lower than $3\%$, the regression coefficients for the calibration curves of ginsenosides were higher than 0.99 and two adjacent ginsenoside peaks were well separated, which suggests that the above HPLC/ELSD conditions may be good enough for the determination of ginsenosides.

  • The design phase and safety assessment of Generation IV liquid metal-cooled fast reactors calls for the improvement of fuel pin performance codes, in particular the enhancement of their predictive capabilities towards uranium-plutonium mixed oxide fuels and stainless-steel cladding under irradiation in fast reactor environments. To this end, the current capabilities of fuel performance codes must be critically assessed against experimental data from available irradiation experiments. This work is devoted to the assessment of three European fuel performance codes, namely GERMINAL, MACROS and TRANSURANUS, against the irradiation of two fuel pins selected from the SUPERFACT-1 experimental campaign. The pins are characterized by a low enrichment (~ 2 wt.%) of minor actinides (neptunium and americium) in the fuel, and by plutonium content and cladding material in line with design choices envisaged for liquid metal-cooled Generation IV reactor fuels. The predictions of the codes are compared to several experimental measurements, allowing the identification of the current code capabilities in predicting fuel restructuring, cladding deformation, redistribution of actinides and volatile fission products. The integral assessment against experimental data is complemented by a code-to-code benchmark focused on the evolution of quantities of engineering interest over time. The benchmark analysis points out the differences in the code predictions of fuel central temperature, fuel-cladding gap width, cladding outer radius, pin internal pressure and fission gas release and suggests potential modelling development paths towards an improved description of the fuel pin behaviour in fast reactor irradiation conditions.

  • Objective: Feed additives that modify rumen fermentation can be used to prevent metabolic disturbances such as acidosis and optimize beef cattle production. The study evaluated the effects of liquid and powdered forms of polyclonal antibody preparation (PAP) against Streptococcus bovis and Fusobacterium necrophorum on rumen fermentation parameters in ruminally cannulated non-lactating dairy cows that were adapted or unadapted to a high concentrate diet. Methods: A double 3×3 Latin square design was used with three PAP treatments (control, powdered, and liquid PAP) and two adaptation protocols (adapted, unadapted; applied to the square). Adapted animals were transitioned for 2 weeks from an all-forage to an 80% concentrate diet, while unadapted animals were switched abruptly. Results: Interactions between sampling time and adaptation were observed; 12 h after feeding, the adapted group had lower ruminal pH and greater total short chain fatty acid concentrations than the unadapted group, while the opposite was observed after 24 h. Acetate:propionate ratio, molar proportion of butyrate and ammonia nitrogen concentration were generally greater in adapted than unadapted cattle up to 36 h after feeding. Adaptation promoted 3.5 times the number of Entodinium protozoa but copy numbers of Streptococcus bovis and Fibrobacter succinogens genes in rumen fluid were not affected. However, neither liquid nor powdered forms of PAP altered rumen acidosis variables in adapted or unadapted animals. Conclusion: Adaptation of cattle to highly fermentable carbohydrate diets promoted a more stable ruminal environment, but PAP was not effective in this study in which no animal experienced acute or sub-acute rumen acidosis.

  • Motion of lung tumors from respiration has been reported in the literature to be as large as of 1-2 cm. This motion requires an additional margin between the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) and the Planning Target Volume (PTV). While such a margin is necessary, it may not be sufficient to ensure proper delivery of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) to the CTV during the simultaneous movement of the DMLC. Gated treatment has been proposed to improve normal tissues sparing as well as to ensure accurate dose coverage of the tumor volume. The following questions have not been addressed in the literature: a) what is the dose error to a target volume without gated IMRT treatment\ulcorner b) what is an acceptable gating window for such treatment. In this study, we address these questions by proposing a novel technique for calculating the 3D dose error that would result if a lung IMRT plan were delivered without gating. The method is also generalized for gated treatment with an arbitrary triggering window. IMRT plans for three patients with lung tumor were studied. The treatment plans were generated with HELIOS for delivery with 6 MV on a CL2100 Varian linear accelerator with a 26 pair MLC. A CTV to PTV margin of 1 cm was used. An IMRT planning system searches for an optimized fluence map ${\Phi}$ (x,y) for each port, which is then converted into a dynamic MLC file (DMLC). The DMLC file contains information about MLC subfield shapes and the fractional Monitor Units (MUs) to be delivered for each subfield. With a lung tumor, a CTV that executes a quasi periodic motion z(t) does not receive ${\Phi}$ (x,y), but rather an Effective Incident Fluence EIF(x,y). We numerically evaluate the EIF(x,y) from a given DMLC file by a coordinate transformation to the Target's Eye View (TEV). In the TEV coordinate system, the CTV itself is stationary, and the MLC is seen to execute a motion -z(t) that is superimposed on the DMLC motion. The resulting EIF(x,y)is inputted back into the dose calculation engine to estimate the 3D dose to a moving CTV. In this study, we model respiratory motion as a sinusoidal function with an amplitude of 10 mm in the superior-inferior direction, a period of 5 seconds, and an initial phase of zero.

  • The study aimed to investigate the effect of low-frequency oscillations on the cow udder, milk parameters, and animal welfare during the automated milking process. The study's objective was to investigate the impact of low-frequency oscillations on the udder and teats' blood circulation by creating a mathematical model of mammary glands, using milkers and vibrators to analyze the theoretical dynamics of oscillations. The mechanical vibration device developed and tested in the study was mounted on a DeLaval automatic milking machine, which excited the udder with low-frequency oscillations, allowing the analysis of input parameters (temperature, oscillation amplitude) and using feedback data, changing the device parameters such as vibration frequency and duration. The experimental study was performed using an artificial cow's udder model with and without milk and a DeLaval milking machine, exciting the model with low-frequency harmonic oscillations (frequency range 15-60 Hz, vibration amplitude 2-5 mm). The investigation in vitro applying low-frequency of the vibration system's first-order frequencies in lateral (X) direction showed the low-frequency values of 23.5-26.5 Hz (effective frequency of the simulation analysis was 25.0 Hz). The tested values of the first-order frequency of the vibration system in the vertical (Y) direction were 37.5-41.5 Hz (effective frequency of the simulation analysis was 41.0 Hz), with higher amplitude and lower vibration damping. During in vivo experiments, while milking, the vibrator was inducing mechanical milking-similar vibrations in the udder. The vibrations were spreading to the entire udder and caused physiotherapeutic effects such as activated physiological processes and increased udder base temperature by 0.57℃ (p < 0.001), thus increasing blood flow in the udder. Used low-frequency vibrations did not significantly affect milk yield, milk composition, milk quality indicators, and animal welfare. The investigation results showed that applying low-frequency vibration on a cow udder during automatic milking is a non-invasive, efficient method to stimulate blood circulation in the udder and improve teat and udder health without changing milk quality and production. Further studies will be carried out in the following research phase on clinical and subclinical mastitis cows.

  • 옥천계변성암 지역에 분포하는 15개 먹는샘물 업체의 지하수 원수의 수질은 다른 지역의 지하수와는 상이한 특성을 보여준다. 특히 전기전도도, 경도, Ca, Mg, $HCO_3$는 전국의 여러 지역중에서 가장 높다. 대부분의 업체의 지하수의 양이온 함량비는 Ca>>Mg, Na>K의 순이며, 음이온의 함량비는 $HCO_3$>$SO_4$>Cl>F의 순을 보인다. 특히 중탄산의 함량은 다른 지역에 비하여 월등히 높으며 수질유형은 Ca-Mg-$HCO_3$>Ca-$HCO_3$>Ca-Na-$HCO_3$순으로 나타난다. 옥천계변성암 지역의 지하수는 대체로 탄산염의 용해작용에 의하여 영향을 받은 것으로 보인다. 원소별 상관계수는 Mg-$HCO_3$가 0.92로서 가장 높으며 Ca-$HCO_3$(0.88), Ca-Mg(0.80), Ca-Cl(0.78), Mg-$SO_4$(0.78), Ca-$SO_4$(0.71) 등도 비교적 좋은 상관계수를 보인다. 이같은 현상은 탄산염 석고나 경석고의 용해작용과 관련되는 것으로 보인다. Ca와 EC간의 관계는 결정계수(determinative coefficient)가 R2=0.87인데 비하여, EC와 (K+Na+Ca)원소 전체의 관계는 결정계수가 R2=0.89로서 EC에 대한 Ca의 기여도는 주요 양이온들 가운데서 가장 크다. Ca와 HCO$_3$, Ca와 Mg간의 결정계수는 양호한 편인데, 이들은 서로 화학적 관련성을 가지면서 거동함을 나타낸다. 실리카 상들을 제외한다면 대부분의 지하수는 방해석의 포화도에 가장 근접한 상태를 보여 주며 돌로마이트도 점차 포화상태에 가까워 지고 있다. 그러나 석고, 경석고, 형석에 대하여는 불포화정도가 다소 큼을 나타낸다. 탄산염은 물-암석과의 반응이 어느 정도 더 진행되면 곧 포화상태에 도달하게 되어 더 이상 지하수의 수질화학에 영향을 주지 못하게 될 것으로 보인다.

  • The purpose of this study is to improve diagnostic efficiency of clinical study by setting up guidelines for more precise examination with a comparative analysis of signal intensity and image distortion depending on the location of X axial of object when performing magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (MR DWI) examination. We arranged the self-produced phantom with a 45 mm of interval from the core of 44 regent bottles that have a 16 mm of external diameter and 55 mm of height, and were placed in 4 rows and 11 columns in an acrylic box. We also filled up water and margarine to portrait the fat. We used 3T Skyra and 18 Channel Body array coil. We also obtained the coronal image with the direction of RL (right to left) by using scan slice thinkness 3 mm, slice gap: 0mm, field of view (FOV): $450{\times}450mm^2$, repetition time (TR): 5000 ms, echo time (TE): 73/118 ms, Matrix: $126{\times}126$, slice number: 15, scan time: 9 min 45sec, number of excitations (NEX): 3, phase encoding as a diffusion-weighted imaging parameter. In order to scan, we set b-value to $0s/mm^2$, $400s/mm^2$, and $1,400s/mm^2$, and obtained T2 fat saturation image. Then we did a comparative analysis on the differences between image distortion and signal intensity depending on the location of X axial based on iso-center of patient's table. We used "Image J" as a comparative analysis programme, and used SPSS v18.0 as a statistic programme. There was not much difference between image distortion and signal intensity on fat and water from T2 fat saturation image. But, the average value depends on the location of X axial was statistically significant (p < 0.05). From DWI image, when b-value was 0 and 400, there was no significant difference up to $2^{nd}$ columns right to left from the core of patient's table, however, there was a decline in signal intensity and image distortion from the $3^{rd}$ columns and they started to decrease rapidly at the $4^{th}$ columns. When b-value was 1,400, there was not much difference between the $1^{st}$ row right to left from the core of patient's table, however, image distortion started to appear from the $2^{nd}$ columns with no change in signal intensity, the signal was getting decreased from the $3^{rd}$ columns, and both signal intensity and image distortion started to get decreased rapidly. At this moment, the reagent bottles from outside out of 11 reagent bottles were not verified from the image, and only 9 reagent bottles were verified. However, it was not possible to verify anything from the $5^{th}$ columns. But, the average value depends on the location of X axial was statistically significant. On T2 FS image, there was a significant decline in image distortion and signal intensity over 180mm from the core of patient's table. On diffusion-weighted image, there was a significant decline in image distortion and signal intensity over 90 mm, and they became unverifiable over 180 mm. Therefore, we should make an image that has a diagnostic value from examinations that are hard to locate patient's position.

  • 목적: 유방 종괴의 악성과 양성종양의 감별진단에 있어서 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 유방촬영의 임상적의의를 알고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 34명의 여자 환자에서 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP를 이용한 유방스캔을 하고, 그 결과를 필름 유방촬영 및 조직생검 결과와 비교하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-MDP의 섭취는 양측 유방에 대칭적으로 섭취가 없는 경우(배경과 같은 정도)를 grade 0, 섭취가 있으나 양측 유방에 전반적으로 대칭적으로 있을 때는 grade 1, 비대칭적인 섭취가 있으나 희미하거나 의심스러운 경우는 grade 2, 비대칭적으로 한쪽에 국소적인 열소가 있는 경우를 grade 3라고 하였다. 결과: 정상 환자들의 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP유방촬영 소견은, 양쪽 유방이 대칭적이면서 균일하게 거의 배경 정도의 방사능 섭취를 보이거나, 유방의 실질 전체에 걸쳐서 미만성으로 섭취를 보이며, 국소적인 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP의 섭취를 보인 예는 한 예도 없었다. 악성종양환자 7명 중 6명은 grade 2(2명)와 grade 3(4명)의 소견을 보였다. 1명은 스캔 상 grade 1으로 나타났다. 양성 종양환자 6명에서는 grade 3이 3명, grade 1이 3명이었다 섬유낭포성질환에서는 7명 중 1명에서만 grade 3으로 종괴처럼 보였고 grade 2 가 3명, grade 1이 2명, 0가 1명이었다. Lesion/Back-ground Ratio 는 정상인 경우 $1.05{\pm}0.20$($average{\pm}1sd$), 섬유낭포성질환의 경우 $1.20{\pm}0.36$, 양성 종양의 경우는 $1.68{\pm}0.09$, 악성 종양의 경우는 $1.66{\pm}0.62$였다. 정상 및 섬유낭포성질환은 종양과 차이가 있었지만, 양성종양과 악성종양은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 유방스캔은 Piccolo 등의 보고와는 달리, 유방종괴를 호소하는 환자에서 고형종괴의 발견에는 무리가 없으나, 일상적으로 양성과 악성을 구분하기 위하여 사용하기에는 부족할 것으로 결론을 내렸다. 그러나 유방암 환자에서 전신 골스캔을 시행하면서 2상 영상(2 phase image)의 개념으로 초기 유방영상을 얻는 등의 방법으로 활용을 할 수는 있을 것으로 생각하였다.

  • 지난 2004년 4월 경부고속철도 1단계 개통이후, 2단계 사업은 2010년 11월 개통하였으며, 고속철도 개통이후 타 교통수단에 비해 속도 경쟁의 장점을 가지고 있어 고속철도의 수요는 계속 증가하고 있다. 이러한 고속철도의 개통은 인구의 이동, 기업의 입지, 공간구조의 개편 등과 같은 사회적, 경제적, 교통적인 변화를 주도하고 있는 실정이며. 특히 고속철도의 고속운행으로 지역간의 이동시간을 단축한다는 점에서 고속철도 수요는 계속적인 증가 추세로 전망된다. 본 연구에서는 고속철도 서울역 설문조사의 데이터를 이용한 EMME/2 프로그램의 2-Dimentional Blancing을 활용한 고속철도 역 접근수단별 통행분포 모형의 파라메타 추정을 통하여 조사 통행분포를 추정 통행분포와 같이 재현하고자 하였으며, 분석 결과 접근수단별로 파라메타(${\theta}$)는 승용차 0.0395, 버스 0.0390, 지하철 0.0415, 택시 0.0650으로 분석되었고, 통행거리빈도분포(Trip Length Frequency Distribution: TLFD)를 기준으로 조사치와 모형치를 비교한 결과 $R^2$는 승용차 0.909, 버스0.923, 지하철 0.922, 택시 0.745로 조사치와 모형치는 유사한 것으로 분석 되었으며, F검증 결과 P값이 모두 0.05보다 매우 작게 분석되어 95%신뢰수준으로 유의할 만 한 것으로 판단되었다. 통행거리빈도분포를 5km 단위로 설정하여 분석 하였으나, 향후에는 통행거리빈도분포를 중죤단위에서 소죤단위(행정동)로 세분화 연구가 필요하며, 통행거리 0~5km 구간의 분포을 반영할수 있는 결합함수(Combined function)을 활용한 중력모형과 3-Dimentional Blancing을 적용한 연구가 필요 할 것으로 판단된다.
