The salivary glands secrete saliva, which plays a role in the maintenance of a healthy oral environment. Under physiological conditions, saliva secretion within the acinar cells of the gland is regulated by stimulation of specific calcium (Ca²⁺) signaling mechanisms such as increases in the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) via storeoperated Ca²⁺ entry, which involves components such as Orai1, transient receptor potential (TRP) canonical 1, stromal interaction molecules, and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP₃) receptors (IP₃Rs). Homer proteins are scaffold proteins that bind to G protein-coupled receptors, IP₃Rs, ryanodine receptors, and TRP channels. However, their exact role in Ca²⁺ signaling in the salivary glands remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of Homer2 in Ca²⁺ signaling and saliva secretion in parotid gland acinar cells under physiological conditions. Deletion of Homer2 (Homer2^-/-) markedly decreased the amplitude of [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations via the stimulation of carbachol, which is physiologically concentrated in parotid acinar cells, whereas the frequency of [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations showed no difference between wild-type and Homer2^-/- mice. Homer2^-/- mice also showed a significant decrease in amylase release by carbachol in the parotid gland in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that Homer2 plays a critical role in maintaining [Ca²⁺]_i concentration and secretion of saliva in mouse parotid gland acinar cells.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine the general personality profiles of patients who visited an oriental neuropsychiatric clinic and to investigate the specific profiles of patients diagnosed with Hwa-byung. Methods : We analyzed the profiles of 122 patients who completed TCI-RS questionnaire for the purpose of counseling. Patients were divided by sex, age and diagnosis related groups. Scales and subscales of each group were compared by an independent t-test and ANCOVA with SPSS windows 16.0. Types of temperament and character were classified by percentile ranks of the total patients and diagnosis related groups. Results : 1. Total patients were classified as the high harm avoidance type of temperament and of low self-directedness type of character. 2. Male patients showed significantly higher scores on NS, all subscales of NS, P2 and P3 than female patients. HA4 and C5 scores were significantly higher in the female group. Younger patients showed significantly higher scores on NS, all subscales of NS, HA1 and P3. However, older patients had significantly higher scores on SD4, SD5, ST2 and ST3. 3. Between diagnosis related groups, Hwa-byung group had significantly higher scores on RD, ST, SD3 and ST2. However P3 score of non-hwa-byung patients was higher than hwa-byung patients. In typical classification, both hwa-byung and non-hwa-byung groups were classified as the same types as total patients. Conclusions : This study showed that the patients visited an oriental neuropsychiatric clinic and had similar personality with that of general psychiatric disorders. Hwa-byung patients exhibited higher RD and ST scores than other disorders, but they had no typical differences.

성숙 콩[Glycine max (L.) Merr.] 종자에는 단백질, 지방, 탄수화물의 3대 영양소와 아이소플라본 등 다양한 기능성 성분이 함유되어 있다. 그러나, Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor (KTI) 단백질, 렉틴 단백질, 난소화성 올리고당인 stachyose 성분이 함유되어져 있어 품질과 기능성을 저하시키고 있다. 본 연구는 콩 및 콩 제품의 품질과 기능성을 저하시키는 KTI 및 렉틴 단백질과 stachyose의 성분 함량과 관련된 유전자들이 모두 열성으로 작용하는 콩 계통(triple recessive genotype)을 선발하기 위하여 진행되었다. 3개의 모본(개척2호, PI200508, 14G20)을 이용한 육종집단으로부터 성숙 종자에서KTI 및 렉틴 단백질이 없으면서 stachyose의 함량이 일반콩보다 현저히 적은 triple recessive 유전자형(titilelers2rs2) 개체를 선발하였다. 선발된 계통의 초장은 51 cm 정도였으며 백립중은 31.0 g으로 대립이었으며 종피색 및 제색은 노란색이었다. Stachyose의 함량(g/kg)은 일반콩(13.5 g/kg)보다 훨씬 낮았다(3.8 g/kg). 본 연구를 통하여 선발된 계통은 KTI 단백질과 렉틴 단백질이 동시에 없으며 stachyose의 함량이 낮은 다양한 콩 품종 육성을 위한 중간모본으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

This study investigated the effects of resin surface primers for rebase resins on the surface texture of denture base resins by the use of scanning electron microscopy. This study also evaluated the bond strength of rebase resins to denture base resin. The denture base resin in this study was Vertex RS (Dentimex Co., Ltd., Holland). The rebase resins used were Tokuso Rebase (Tokuyama Co., Ltd., Japan), Metabase (Sun Medical Co., Ltd., Japan), New True Liner(Harry J, Bosworth Co., Ill.), and Reverse (Nissin Co., Ltd., Japan). The test samples were divided into four parts: Group 1 : Treated with primer with brush. Group 2 : Immersed in the primer for 5 seconds. Group 3 : Immersed in the primer for 10 seconds. Group 4 : Immersed in the primer for 30 seconds. Control group : not treated with primer The results were as follows; 1. The bond strength of rebase resins to denture base resin is increased by application of primers. 2. Regardless of the rebase resin type, there was no significant difference among the bond strength in groups G1, G2, G3, G4. There was a significant difference with the control. (P<0.05) 3. Regardless of each group, the bond strength according to the rebase resin type was decreased in the following order: Tokuso Rebase, New Tru Liner, Reverse and then Metabase. 4. Under the scanning electron microscope, brush application produced a softening of the denture base surface. After immersion, all primers produced a spongelike structure on the denture base resin surface. The results of this study suggest that primers produce a significant effect by means of brush application, therefore it is recommended as the most convenient and logical procedure for application of the primers.

The gene encoding Thermus thermophilus HJ6 laccase (Tt-laccase) was cloned, sequenced, and comprised of 1,389 nucleotides encoding a protein (462 amino acids) with a predicted molecular mass of 51,049 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of Tt-laccase showed 99.7% and 44.3% identities to the Thermus thermophilus HB27 laccase and Synechococcus sp. RS9917 laccase, respectively. Tt-laccase gene was expressed as a fusion protein with six histidine residues in E. coli Rosetta-gami (DE3) cells, and the recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity. UV-Vis spectrum analysis revealed that the enzyme has copper atoms, a type I Cu(II) and a type III binuclear Cu(II). The optimum pH for the oxidation of guaiacol was 5.0 and the optimum temperature was $90^{\circ}C$ The half-life of heat inactivation was about 120 min at $90^{\circ}C$ The enzyme reaction was inhibited by sodium azide, L-cystein, EDTA, dithiothreitol, tropolone, and kojic acid. The enzyme oxidized various known laccase substrates, its lowest $K_m$ value being for 4-hydroxyindole, highest $k_{cat}$ value for syringaldazine, and highest $k_{cat}/K_m$ for guaiacol.

PURPOSES : Emulsified asphalt is critical for road construction. The objective of applying asphalt emulsion as an adhesive is to prevent the phenomenon of debonding between the upper and lower layers. The quantity and veriety of bituminous material can be varied according to the type of pavement and site conditions. The objective of this study is to reveal the optimum application rates of the emulsified asphalt materials by types of tack-coats using Interface Shear Strength(ISS). METHODS : In the research, emulsified asphalt was paved on the surface of the divided mixture. The specimens of paving asphalt emulsion were utilized to evaluate the bond strength of tack-coat materials. In the evaluation process, NCHRP Report 712 was utilized to investigate the Interface Shear Strength, which reflects the bond capacity of asphalt emulsion. Then, the optimum residual application rates by tack-coat types were determined using regression analysis. RESULTS :As a consequence of squared R values investigated from 0.7 to 1 as part of the regression analysis, the tendency of predicted ISS values was compared with the results. The optimum residual application rates of AP-3, RS(C)-4, QRS-4, and BD-Coat were determined to be $0.78{\ell}/m^2$, $0.51{\ell}/m^2$, $0.53{\ell}/m^2$, and $0.73{\ell}/m^2$, respectively, utilizing 4th regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS :Based on the result of this study, it was not feasible to conclude whether higher residual application of tack-coat material leads to improved bond capacity. Rather, the shearing strength varies depending on the type of pavement.

Two hundred one patients of ventricular septal defect, which were operated at Seoul National University Hospital, were analysed on clinical background during the period from January, 1975 to December, 1980. The results were as follows: 1. Of the 201 patients, 118 patients were male [58.7%] and 83 patients were female [41.3%]. Their age ranged from 15 months to 40 years, and the mean age was 8.7 years. 40% of the patients were between 4 and 8 years. 2. The most common symptoms showed frequent U RI and exertional dyspnea. 3. On Kirklin`s anatomical classification, type I constituted 26.9%, type II 58.2%, type III 12.4%, and type IV 1.0%. We showed marked increased incidence of type I VSD as compared to Caucasians* 4. 46 cases were associated with other congenital cardiac diseases. They were PDA [13 cases], AI[11 ], ASD[6], PS[10], MI[4], and Double aortic arch [1]. 5. In 128 patients, who had complete hemodynamic data and were not associated with other congenital cardiac diseases, an attempt was made to correlate the EKG findings with the hemodynamic data, and defect size with the hemodynamic data. The children had variable distribution of PA syst. pr. and Rp/Rs. But most of adults had $R_P$/$R_S$of 0.15 or less. As $P_P$/$P_S$increased, the rate of operative complication increased also. 6. When a normal EKG pattern was present, $Q_P$/$Q_S$and $R_P$/$R_S$and $P_P$/$P_S$were relatively low. When EKG findings were LVH pattern, there was diastolic volume overload to left ventricle. As RVH, there was systolic pressure overload to right ventricle. And as BVH, there was mixed pattern of diastolic volume overload to left ventricle and systolic pressure overload to right ventricle. 7. Among patients in defect was less than 1 $cm^2$ per $M^2$ of BSA, $Q_P$/$Q_S$was less than 2:1, and $R_P$/$R_S$less than 0.25, and PAsyst. pr. less than 50 mmHg, and $P_P$/$P_S$was less than 0.5. But patients with the defect greater than 1 $cm^2$ per $M^2$ of BSA had no correlationship between $Q_P$/$Q_S$, $R_P$/$R_S$, PAsyst. pr. and defect size in each other. Most of patients with the defect greater than 2 $cm^2$/$M^2$ BSA, $R_P$/$R_S$was greater than 0.5. 8. Operative mortality rate was 9.5% [19 cases] among 201 patients. And complication rate including mortality rate was 22.9% [46 cases].

목적: 다양한 3D 프린팅 의치상 레진과 여러 가지 의치 첨상 재료 간의 전단결합강도를 평가하여 기존의 열중합 의치상 레진과의 전단결합강도를 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 열중합레진(Vertex RS)과 3D프린팅 의치상 레진 두종(DENTCA Denture base II, NextDent^TM Base)을 사용하였다. 의치 첨상 재료로는 성분이 다른 총 4종(Tokuyama Rebase II fast, Kooliner, Denture Liner, Denture Liner, Lang Jet Denture Repair Kit)을 사용하여 12개의 군으로 분류하였다. ISO/TS 11405규격에 따라 접착을 시행하였다. 전단결합강도를 측정하였고, 이후 입체현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 접착 계면을 관찰하고 파절편의 분석을 통하여 파절 양상을 조사하였다. 결과: 3D 프린팅 의치상 레진 군에서 의치 첨상 재료와의 전단결합강도가 열중합레진 군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 전단결합강도 결과를 나타내었다(P < 0.05). Polymethyl methacrylate계열의 첨상재료의 경우, 의치상종류와 관계없이 높은 전단결합강도를 보였다. 파절 양상은 대부분의 군에서 접착성 파절이 나타났고 일부 군에서 응집성 파절과 혼합성 파절 양상이 나타났다. 결론: Polymethyl methacrylate를 주성분으로 하는 의치 첨상 재료가 실험에 사용된 모든 의치상 레진에서 다른 의치 첨상 재료와 비교하여 높은 전단 결합강도 값을 나타내었지만, 직접법으로 의치 첨상을 시행할 경우 단량체로 Isobutyl methacrylate 성분의 의치 첨상재료를 사용하는 것이 전단결합강도면에서 유리할 것으로 사료된다.
