본 연구는 소 형질 전환 체세포 핵이식에서 용이한 탈핵을 위해 demecolcine을 이용할 시 탈핵율과 핵이식란의 발육능을 높이기 위한 최적의 조건을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 도축장 유래 미성숙 난자를 18시간 체외성숙 후 제1극체가 확인된 성숙 난자를 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 및 0.8 ug/ml의 demecolcine이 첨가된 배지에서 1시간 더 처리한 다음 세포막이 돌출되어 있는 난자를 체세포 핵이식에 공여하여 각 군간 배반포로의 발육능을 비교하였다. Demecolcine 처리 후 핵이 포함된 셰포막의 protrusion rates를 각 군간 비교한 결과 0.2, 0.4 및 0.8 ug/ml 군에서 0.1 ug/ml 군보다 유의적으로 높았으며 (82.8, 86.2, 90.4 vs. 70.1%), conventional blind 방법과 비교한 결과 demecolcine를 이용한 군에서 유의적으로 높은 탈핵율을 보였다(75.3 vs. 96.2%; p<0.05). 체세포 핵이식란의 발육능 비교에서는 0.1 및 0.2ug/ml 군에서 대조군과 함께 유의적으로 높은 분할율 및 배반포로의 발육능을 보였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 소 형질전환 체세포 핵이식을 위한 탈핵시 높은 탈핵율과 배반포로의 발육율을 얻을 수 있는 demecolcine의 적정농도는 0.2ug/ml이라고 사료된다.

연구배경 : 호흡부전 환자에서 인공호흡은 조직의 산소화를 유지하고 환자의 호흡일을 경감시키기 위해 적용하며, 환자의 호흡일은 환자의 환기요구량과 인공호흡기의 정해진 양식에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 감속형유량의 압력-조절환기(PCV)는 일정형유량의 용적-조절환기(VCV)에 비해 호흡주기의 초기에 높은 유량의 가스를 환자에게 주입하여 환자의 호흡주기에 잘 적용하므로 두 보조환기양식에 환자의 호흡일이 차이가 있을 것으로 추측할 수 있다. 이에 연구자들은 두 가지의 보조환기양식에서 환자의 호흡일(WOBp)의 차이를 알아보기 위해 다음과 같은 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 호흡부전으로 인공호흡기를 유지하고 있는 10명의 환자(평균연령 $61.7{\pm}7.5$세, 남 : 여=8 : 2)를 대상으로 하였다. 환자에게 먼저 일정형유량의 VCV를 고 일회호흡량($V_{T,\;HIGH}$)(10-12 ml/kg) 또는 저 일회호흡량 ($V_{T,\;LOW}$)(6-8 ml/kg)으로 적용하고 다음에 동일한 일회호흡량($V_T$)이 유지되는 각각의 압력 정도로 PCV를 적용하였으며 인공호흡기의 다른 설정은 일정하게 유지하였다. WOBp는 인공호흡기의 양식을 변화시키고 약 15분 후 환자가 안정된 상태가 되면 인공호흡기 양식을 바꾸기전 1분간 측정하여 그 값의 평균을 구하였다. WOBp 외에 $V_T$, 분당환기량($V_E$), 분당호흡수, 최고기도압(Ppeak), 최고흡기유속(PIFR), pressure-time product(PTP) 등을 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : $V_T$, $V_E$, 분당호흡수는 각각의 $V_T$에 따라 PCV와 VCV 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었으며, Ppeak는 $V_{T,\;HIGH}$에서 VCV에 비해 PCV에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). PIFR은 각각의 $V_T$에서 VCV에 비해 PCV기에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). $V_{T,\;LOW}$에서 WOBp는 VCV, PCV에서 각각 $1.06{\pm}0.39\;J/min$, $0.80{\pm}0.37\;J/min$이었고, PTP는 각각 $256.4{\pm}107.5\;cmH_2O.S$, $164.5{\pm}74.4\;cmH_2O.S$으로 VCV에 비해 PCV에서 의미있게 낮았다(p<0.05). $V_{T,\;HIGH}$에서 WOBp는 VCV, PCV 에서 각각 $0.40{\pm}0.14\;J/min$, $0.33{\pm}0.14\;J/min$이었고, PTP는 각각 $83.4{\pm}35.1\;cmH_2O.S$, $65.7{\pm}26.3\;cmH_2O.S$으로 VCV에 비해 PCV에서 의미있게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 보조환기 양식으로서 PCV는 일정형유량의 VCV에 비해 WOBp을 감소시킬 수 있었으나, 환자에 따라 차이가 있어 향후 WOBp를 최적화할 수 있는 방법들에 대한 연구가 더 필요하리라 생각된다.

We report a novel patterning method for a homo-polymeric poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanofilm particularly capable of strong adhesion to a $SiO_2$ surface. An oxidized silicon wafer substrate was micro-contact printed with n-octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) monolayer, and subsequently its negative pattern was selfassembled with three different amino-functionalized alkylsilanes, (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APS), N- (2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane (EDAS), and (3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) diethylenetriamine (DETAS). Then, P3HT nanofilms were selectively grown on the aminosilane pre-patterned areas via the vapor phase polymerization method. To evaluate the adhesion, patterning, and the film itself, the PEDOT nanofilms and SAMs were investigated with a $Scotch^{(R)}$ tape test, contact angle analyzer, ATR-FT-IR, and optical and atomic force microscopes. The evaluation showed that the newly developed all bottom-up process can offer a simple and inexpensive patterning method for P3HT nanofilms robustly adhered to an oxidized Si wafer surface by the mediation of $FeCl_3$ and amino-functionalized alkylsilane SAMs.

Objective: The feasibility of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger in normal responders is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to compare the number of mature oocytes, the number of good-quality embryos, and the live birth rate in normal responders triggered by GnRHa alone, GnRHa and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG; a dual trigger), and hCG alone. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the infertility clinic of a university hospital. Data from 200 normal responders who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection with a GnRH antagonist protocol between January 2016 and January 2017 were reviewed. The first study group consisted of patients with cycles triggered by GnRHa alone. The second study group consisted of patients with cycles triggered by both GnRHa and low-dose hCG (a dual trigger). The control group consisted of patients with cycles triggered by hCG alone. Results: The groups were comparable in terms of demographics and cycle characteristics. The numbers of total oocytes retrieved and metaphase II oocytes were similar between the groups. The total numbers of top-quality embryos were 3.2±2.9 in the GnRHa group, 4.4±3.2 in the dual-trigger group, and 2.9±2.1 in the hCG group (p=0.014). The live birth rates were 21.4%, 30.5%, and 28.2% in those groups, respectively (p=0.126). Conclusion: In normal responders, a dual-trigger approach appears superior to an hCG trigger alone with regard to the number of top-quality embryos produced. However, no clinical benefit was apparent in terms of live birth rates.

Microwave digestion is a preferred pretreatment method for agricultural samples because of its quick chemical reaction and minimum loss of analytes. In this research, a feedback temperature controller was developed to control the temperature inside a vessel for the microwave-assisted digestion system. An existing industrial microwave oven was fitted with the temperature controller for controlling inside temperature of the vessel. Four control methods, On/Off, proportional (P), proportional integral (PI), and proportional integral derivative (PID) were used and compared. Experimental results showed that PID control produced best temperature control performance. The PID controller could maintain the temperature of water sample and rice sample in the digestion system with error range of $-2.5{\sim}3.3^{\circ}C$ and $-1.9{\sim}0.5^{\circ}C$ at set temperature of $170^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In this study we present the reaction mechanism of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) nanoparticles synthesized by microwave-assisted chemical synthesis. We performed reactions every 10 minutes in order to identify different phases during quaternary CZTSe formation. The powder samples were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that in the first minutes copper phases are predominant, then copper and tin secondary phases react to form ternary phase. The quaternary phase is formed at 50 minutes while ternary and secondary phases are consumed. At 60 minutes pure quaternary CZTSe phase is present. After 60 minutes the quaternary phase decomposes in the previous ternary and secondary phases, which indicates that 60 minutes is ideal reaction time. The EDS analysis of pure quaternary nanocrystals (CZTSe) showed stoichiometric relations similar to the reported research in the literature, which falls in the range of Cu/(Zn+Sn): 0.8-1.0, Zn/Sn: 1.0-1.20. In conclusion, the evolution pathway of CZTSe synthesized by this novel method is similar to other synthesis methods reported before. Nanoparticles synthesized in this study present desirable properties in order to use them in solar cell and photoelectrochemical cell applications.

The effects of initial concentration and pulsed pressurization on the inactivation of Clostridium sporogenes spores suspended in deionized water were determined during thermal processing $(TP;\;105^{\circ}C,\;0.1MPa)$ and pressure-assisted thermal processing $(PATP;\;105^{\circ}C\;and\;700MPa)$ treatments for 40 min and 5min holding times, respectively. Different inoculum levels $(10^4,\;10^6\;and\;10^8CFU/ml)$ of C. sporogenes spores suspended in deionized water were treated at $105^{\circ}C$ under 700MPa with single, double, and triple pulses. Thermally treated samples served as control. No statistical significances (p>0.05) were observed among all different inoculum levels during the thermal treatment, whereas the inactivation rates $(k_1\;and\;k_2)$ were decreased with increasing the initial concentrations of C. sporogenes spores during the PATP treatments. Double- and triple-pulsed pressurization reduced more effectively the number of C. sporogenes spores than single-pulse pressurization. The study shows that the spore clumps formed during the PATP may lead to an increase in pressure-thermal resistance, and multiple-pulsed pressurization can be more effective in inactivating bacterial spores. The results provide an interesting insight on the spore inactivation mechanisms with regard to inoculum level and pulsed pressurization.

Enzyme-assisted hydrolysis is frequently used as a cost-effective and efficient method to obtain functional ingredients from bioresources. This study involved the enzyme-assisted hydrolyzation and purification of fucoidan from Ecklonia maxima stipe and the investigation of its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Fucoidans of Viscozyme-assisted hydrolysate from E. maxima (EMSFs) harvested in Jeju, Korea. Structural and chemical characterizations were performed using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and monosaccharide analysis. Among fucoidans, EMSF6 was rich in fucose and sulfate and had a similar structural character to commercial fucoidan. EMSF6 showed a strong inhibitory effect on nitric oxide generation in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and significantly decreased the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α. The anti-inflammatory potential of EMSF6 was mediated through the downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression. Thus, fucoidans from E. maxima stipe are promising candidates for functional food products.
