The mature zygotic embryos of the Hevea brasiliensis were cryopreserved through the use of the vitrification and encapsulation/dehydration techniques. In all the experiments, the zygotic embryos were pre-cultured for three days in the MS medium supplemented with 0.3 M sucrose before they were used for the cryopreservation technique. In the vitrification procedure, the effect of the plant vitrification solutions (PVS2 and PVS3) and exposure time were studied. The highest survival rate (88.87%) and regrowth (66.33%) were achieved when the precultured zygotic embryos were incubated in a loading solution for 20 minutes at $0^{\circ}C$. They were subsequently exposed to PVS2 for 120 minutes at $0^{\circ}C$ and plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. Cryopreservation by the encapsulation-dehydration method was successfully done by leaving the encapsulated zygotic embryos in a laminar flow for 4 hours prior to plunging into a LN. The survival rate and regrowth of the encapsulated zygotic embryos were 37.50% and 27.98%, respectively. The cryopreserved zygotic embryos were able to develop into whole plants.

The droplet-vitrification technique for cryopreservation has proven successful across a diverse range of germplasm, ensuring safe and effective long term preservation. In this study, we investigate an effective cryopreservation protocol using the droplet-vitrification technique for shoot tips of Freesia hybrida cultivars 'Sunny Gold' and 'Sweet Lemon'. To determine optimal conditions for Freesia cryopreservation, we employed a carefully selected standard procedure along with additional treatments and alternative solutions. For 'Sunny Gold', the highest regrowth rate of 24% was achieved when shoot tips underwent dehydration with PVS3 solution for 120 minutes before direct immersion in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 1 hour, coupled with a standard protocol involving a two-step preculture with 0.3 M - 0.5 M sucrose, loading with C4 for 40 minutes, and unloading with 0.8 M sucrose for 40 minutes. In the case of 'Sweet Lemon,' regrowth of cryopreserved shoot tips was observed with dehydration treatments, including PVS2 (A3) for 60 minutes and PVS3 (B1) for 60 minutes, as well as longer exposure. The results reflect the distinct sensitivity of shoot tips to chemical toxicity and osmotic stress in these two genotypes. This study provides valuable evidence to consistently enhance the effectiveness of cryopreservation methods for the long-term conservation of Freesia germplasm.

This study was purposed to investigate the effects of surfactants and fillers on physical properties of hydrophilic polyvinylsiloxane dental impression materials (PVS). Incorporation of surfactants enhanced the hydrophilicity of the PVS, however, it induced increased viscosity and permanent deformation ratio, delayed setting, and decreased tensile strength. At high concentrations of surfactant, the tensile strength was observed to decrease significantly due to the internal pore formation. Especially, the hydrophilicity of the PVS was significantly enhanced with the addition of Silwet L-77. However, the viscosity, strain in compression, pore formation, and setting time increased whereas the elastic recovery rate and strength remarkably decreased. The PVS dental materials containing Span 20 showed the lowest degree of viscosity increase, delayed setting, pore formation, and hydrophilicity. The delayed setting, pore formation, and strength decrease caused by the incorporation of surfactant were improved by substituting the crystalline quartz filler with diatomaceous earth while the contact angle of PVS dental materials increased.

Objectives:High nailfold plexus visibility can reflect central nervous system defects as an etiologic factor of schizophrenia indirectly. Previous studies suggest that this visibility is particularly related to the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and frontal lobe deficiency. In this study, we examined the relationships between nailfold plexus visibility, and various clinical variables and neuropsychological functions in schizo-phrenic patients. Methods:Forty patients(21males, 19 females) satisfying the DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia and thirty eight normal controls(20 males, 18 females) were measured for Plexus Visualization Score(PVS) by using the capillary microscopic examination. For the assessment of psychopathology, process-reactivity, premorbid adjustment, and neuropsychological functions, we used Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS), Ullmann-Giovannoni Process-Reactive Questionnaire(PRQ), Phillips Premorbid Adjustment Scale(PAS), Korean Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(KWIS), Continuous Performance Test(CPT), Wisconsin Card Sort Test (WCST), and Word Fluency Test. We also collected data about clinical variables. Results:PVS was correlated with PANSS positive symptom score and composite score negatively. There were no correlations between PVS and PRQ score, PAS score and neuropsychological variables respectively. Conclusions:This study showed that nailfold plexus visibility was a characteristic feature in some schizophrenic patients, and that higher plexus visibility was associated with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. There was no association between plexus visibility and neuropsychological functions.

Background: Despite recent advances in surgical technique and perioperative care of total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) remains as a serious complication. We thought that the most important factors of TAPVR repair to prevent PVS were good exposure, proper alignment, and sufficient stoma size. We analyzed our experience retrospectively. Material and Method: Between Jan. 1995 and Feb. 2005, we studied 74 patients diagnosed with TAPVR suitable for biventricular repair. Supra-cardiac type (n=41, 55.4%) was the most common. Mean CPB time, ACC time, and TCA (40.5%, 30/74) time were $92.1{\pm}25.9\;min,\;39.1{\pm}10.6\;min$, and $30.2{\pm}10.7\;min$, respectively. Mean follow-up duration was $41.4{\pm}29.1$ months and follow-up was possible in all patients. Result: The median age and body weight at operation were 28.5 days ($0{\sim}478$ days) and 3.4 kg $(1.4{\sim}9\;kg)$. Early mortality was 4.1% (3/74). Causes of death were pulmonary hypertensive crisis, sepsis, and sudden death. There was PR-PVS in 2 patients (early: 1, late: 1). Both patients were cardiac type TAPVR drained to coronary sinus. Re-operations were done but only one patient survived. Cumulative survival rate in 5 year and percent freedom from PVS were $94.5{\pm}2.7%\;and\;97.2{\pm}2.0%$, respectively. Conclusion: There was no PVS in patients who underwent extra-cardiac anatomosis between LA and CPVC. Therefore it could be said that our principle might be effective in preventing PR-PVS in patients suitable two-ventricle.

In axiomatic approach for design evaluation, even if a mutual relation don't appear physical mapping of high level, it can appear in process mapping of low level through coupled PVs(Process Variables), but we must solve it for correct design evaluation. This paper handle a method for solving of coupled PVs by using axiomatic approach and CBR(Case-Based Reasoning). The methodology of proposal took still more shape through the instance of MCPs(Microcellular Plastics).

The regression analysis of the ground vibration data (particle velocity and vibration level) was carried out to find an empirical relation between the vibration velocity (PVS, PPV, $V_V$) and the vibration level. The regression results revealed that the correlation of the blast vibration velocity and vibration level was quite good. It seems that the empirical relation obtained in this research will be applied to evaluating and managing the various environmental vibrations.
