This was study carried out to investigate the effect of calcium on spontaneous contraction and electrical activity induced by ethanol in gastric smooth muscle. After peeling off the mucous membrane from the isolated whole stomach of 102 cats, two kinds of small muscle preparations $(2.0{\times}0.2\;cm)$, one longitudinal and the other circular, were excised from the fundus, the corpus and the antrum portion of each whole stomach specimen. The isometric contraction of the small muscle preparation was measured in a cylinder-shaped chamber filled with Krebs-Ringer-dextrose solution (pH 7.4, temperature $36{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) bubbling with 5% $CO_2$ in $O_2$. A large muscle preparation $(5.0{\times}1.2\;cm)$ was excised from the anterior wall of the corpus-antrum portion of the same specimen in 72 of 102 cats. The gastric electrical activity (slow wave and spike potential) was monopolarly recorded by four capillary electrodes (Ag-AgCl), of which two were placed on the corpus and two on the antrum, in a muscle chamber filled with the same solution as described above. Changes in the amplitude of the contraction, frequency of the gastric slow wave and the production of the spike potential were observed after adding ethanol and/or under the treatments with verapamil, $CaCl_2$ and Ca-free Krebs-Ringer-dextrose solution. The results were as follows: 1) After adding ethanol, the spontaneous phasic contraction of the corpus was reduced dose-dependently (0.125-2.0%), which was totally abolished by higher concentrations (2.0-8.0%) of ethanol. 2) The corporal phasic contraction was also completely abolished by verapamil $(3{\times}10^{-5}\;M)$ or Ca-free Krebs-Ringer-dextrose solution. The contraction was increased by $CaCl_2\;(1.8{\times}10^{-3}\;M)$, but the inhibitory effect of ethanol on the contraction persisted even under the treatment with $CaCl_2$. 3) At higher concentrations, ethanol caused tonic contraction of both preparations from the fundus, the corpus and the antrum in a dose-dependent manner. The tonic contraction of the fundus produced by ethanol was not influenced by $CaCl_2$ or verapamil, whereas the tonic contraction was not produced by ethanol in tile Ca-free solution. 4) Frequency of gastric slow wave was decreased dose-dependently by the addition of ethanol (0.25-1.0%), and tile slow wave was not produced by higher concentration of ethanol (2.0%). 5) The frequency of slow wave was significantly reduced by verapamil only and the inhibitory influence of ethanol on the slow wave frequency was reinforced by verapamil. 6) The treatment of $CaCl_2$ increased significantly the slow wave frequency, and attenuated the inhibitory effect of ethanol on the frequency. It is therefore suggested that ethanol regulates the phasic contraction and the production of slow wave by interfering with the transport of calcium in the stomach muscle of the cat.

Purpose: Multiple skin leiomyoma and uterine myoma bearing autosomal dominant traits are benign smooth muscle tumors which originate in skin or female uterus. Skin leiomyoma occurs after gene mutation originating from arrector pili muscle of hair follicle where its clinical manifestations vary significantly from person to person. Our department hereby reports the histological findings and genetic evaluations of this very rare disease. Methods: A 57-year-old woman presented in our institute with multiple tumors in the left and central parts of her back that started to appear since 19 years ago. The patient was diagnosed as having uterine myoma 15 years ago and underwent hysterectomy. Biopsy has been done on the specimen, and genomic DNA was separated from Fumarate hydratase gene for it to go through PCR amplification. The results of PCR amplification were aligned by sequencer. Results: According to the results of biopsy, tumor cells were spindle-shaped and were aligned in a bundle where there was no dysplasia or mitosis. Moreover, these cells had abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with elongated nucleus, and benign leiomyoma that showed positive reactions to SMA stain were found. In genetic examination, mutations such as heterozygous single nucleotide substitutions were found in alignments of amplified DNA. Conclusion: Multiple skin leiomyoma and uterine myoma are relatively uncommon diseases that are transmitted through autosomally dominant traits from genetic mutations. When a patient's chief complaint lies upon skin-colored or brown masses that occur in multiples appearing in the trunk or extremities with characteristic clinical symptoms and histological findings, and when the patient's family history is acknowledged such as skin or uterine leiomyoma or renal tumor, necessary genetic examination on multiple skin leiomyoma and uterine myoma could be done, and thereby precise diagnosis could also be made.

The dental orthodontic mini-screw requires good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance for implantation in the bone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of TiN and ZrN coated orthodontic mini-screws, mini-screws were used for experiment. Ion plating was carried out for mini-screw using Ti and Zr coating materials with nitrogen gas. Ion plated surface of each specimen w as o bserved with f ield emission scanning e lectron microscopy ( FE-SEM), e nergy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical tester. The surface of TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw were more smooth than that of other kinds of non-coated mini-screw due to dercrease of machined defects. The corrosion current density of the TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw decreased compared to non-coated sample. The corrosion potential of TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw were higher than that of non-coated mini-screw in 0.9% NaCl solution. The pitting corrosion resistance increased in the order of ZrN coated, TiN coated and non-coated wire. Pitting potential of ZrN coated mini-screw was the highest in the other specimens.

변형된 Stud-pull 시험 방법을 통해 탄소강 기재 위에 발포된 폴리우레탄의 접착 강도를 측정하였다. 아연인산으로 처리한 표면이 거친 탄소강 위에서 발포시킨 폴리우레탄의 접착 강도는 0.95 kN으로서 표면이 매끈한 양극산화된 탄소강 위에서 발포된 폴리우레탄의 접착 강도인 0.38 kN 보다 높게 나타남으로서 그 타당성이 입증되었다. 이 시험법을 여러 온도로 미리 가열된 탄소강 기재 위에서 폴리우레탄을 발포 접합시킨 시료들에 적용한 결과, 6$0^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 미리 가열된 금속 기재 위에서 발포된 폴리우레탄은 높은 접착 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 위의 시료를 수증기를 흡착하는 용기에 노출시켜 접착 강도를 측정하였는데 4$0^{\circ}C$ 보다 낮거나 7$0^{\circ}C$의 높은 온도로 유지된 금속 기재 위에서 발포된 폴리우레탄의 접착 강도는 많이 감소하였다. HCFC-141b와 HFC-245fa로 발포된 폴리우레탄의 접착력을 비교하였는데 HFC-245fa로 발포된 시료의 접착력이 0.03 kN 만큼 낮았으며 두 시료를 수증기에 노출시 HFC-245fa로 발포된 시료는 계면 근처에 존재하는 가스로 채워진 빈공간 영역의 적은 면적 비율로 인해 접착력이 거의 그대로 유지되었다. 이런 현상들은 기재의 온도, 기재의 표면 처리 방법, 발포제의 종류에 따라 금속 기재와 고분자와의 계면 근처에서의 미세조직학적인 차이에 의한 결과로 판단된다.

암석파괴역학은 토목공학과 암반공학의 다양한 분야에서 널리 적용되는 학문이다. 그러나 대부분의 암반 공학 문제에서 mode II 거동이 우세함에도 불구하고 관련 연구는 mode I 거동에 대한 것이 대부분이다. 현재 mode I의 경우 4개, mode II 파괴인성의 경우 단 한 개의 ISRM 표준시험법이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 새로운 시험법은 문헌조사를 통해서 필요조건으로 구속압 가능 여부, 노치성형의 용이성, 기존 시험장비의 활용, 단순한 시험절차를 정하고 이에 부합하도록 개발하였으며 SCC(Short Core in Compression)로 이름을 정하였다. Mode II 파괴인성 계산에 필요한 응력확대계수 계산식을 3차원 수치해석을 통해 선하중과 분포하중 조건에 대해서 구하였고 노치성형을 위한 지그도 제작하였다. 개발된 시험법을 MTS 시스템을 사용하여 화강암에 적용하였으며 가압속도는 0.002 mm/s로 하였다. 시험 결과 $2.33MPa{\sqrt{m}}$의 mode II 파괴인성을 얻었다. 동일한 화강암 블록에서 확보한 시험편에 대하여 간접인장시험으로 구한 mode I 파괴인성은 $1.12MPa{\sqrt{m}}$였다. 따라서 $K_{IIC}/K_{IC}=2.08$로 mode II 파괴인성이 mode I보다 크게 나타났다. 또한 비교적 매끄러운 파괴면과 암분의 생성을 통하여 SCC 시험법이 mode II 거동을 잘 표현함을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안된 SCC 시험법은 암석의 mode II 파괴인성을 결정하는 데 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Statement of problem. The long-term success of implants is the development of a stable direct connection between bone and implant surface, which must be structural and functional. To improve a direct implant fixation to the bone, various strategies have been developed focusing on the surface of materials. Among them, altering the surface properties can modify cellular responses such as cell adhesion, cell motility and bone deposition. Purpose. This study was to evaluate the cellular behaviors on the surface-modified titanium by morphological observation, cellular proliferation and differentiation. Material and methods. Specimens were divided into five groups, depending on their surface treatment: electropolishing(EP) anoclizing(AN), machining(MA), blasting with hydroxyapatite particle(RBM) and electrical discharge machining(EDM). Physicochemical properties and microstructures of the specimens were examined and the responses of osteoblast-like cells were investigated. The microtopography of specimens was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Surface roughness was measured by a three-dimensional roughness measuring system. The microstructure was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and scanning auger electron microscopy(AES). To evaluate cellular responses to modified titanium surfaces, osteoblasts isolated from neonatal rat were cultured. The cellular morphology and total protein amounts of osteoblast-like cell were taken as the marker for cellular proliferation, while the expression of alkaline phosphatase was used as the early differentiation marker for osteoblast. In addition, the type I collagen production was determined to be a reliable indicator of bone matrix synthesis. Results. 1. Each prepared specimen showed specific microtopography at SEM examination. The RBM group had a rough and irregular pattern with reticulated appearance. The EDM-treated surface had evident cracks and was heterogeneous consisting of broad sheet or plate with smooth edges and clusters of small grains, deep pores or craters. 2. Surface roughness values were, from the lowest to the highest, electropolished group, anodized group, machined group, RBM group and EDM group. 3. All groups showed amorphous structures. Especially anodized group was found to have increased surface oxide thickness and EDM group had titaniumcarbide(TiC) structure. 4. Cells on electropolished, anodized and machined surfaces developed flattened cell shape and cells on RBM appeared spherical and EDM showed both. After 14 days, the cells cultured from all groups were formed to be confluent and exhibited multilayer proliferation, often overlapped or stratified. 5. Total protein amounts were formed to be quite similar among all the group at 48 hours. At 14 days, the electropolished group and the anodized group induced more total protein amount than the RBM group(P<.05). 6. There was no significant difference among five groups for alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity at 48 hours. The AN group showed significantly higher ALP activity than any other groups at 14 days(P<.05). 7. All the groups showed similar collagen synthesis except the EDM group. The amount of collagen on the electropolished and anodized surfaces were higher than that on the EDM surface(P<.05).

본 연구는 일반 콘크리트와 SBR 라텍스 개질 콘크리트의 부착강도 특성을 분석하고자 신 구 콘크리트로 구성된 직접인장 시험체를 제작하여 부착강도를 측정하였다. 이때, 시험체와 측정기의 연결장치가 $360^{\circ}$ 회전이 가능하도록 시험장비를 개선하여 시험체의 편심이 부착강도 측정에 미치는 영향을 최소화였다. 주요 실험변수로는 라텍스 혼입율, 표면 처리상태, 표면 함수상태로 정하였으며 실험결과는 다음과 같다; 라텍스 혼입률이 증가함에 따라 부착강도도 증가하였으며, 혼입률 15%에서 37%의 증진을 보였다. 이것은 라텍스가 골재와 시멘트 페이스트 사이에 충전되어 필름 막을 형성하고 부착력을 증진시켰기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 표면처리에 따라 부착강도의 변화를 고찰한 결과, 샌드 그라인딩과 와이어 부러쉬에 의해 표면처리를 하였을 경우 부착강도는 단순 절단한 경우보다 약 49% 증가하였다. 표면함수 상태에 따른 영향을 고찰한 결과, 부착강도는 기존 콘크리트 표면이 건조하였을 경우에 가장 작게 나타났고, 자유수가 표면에 있을 때가 그 다음을 나타냈으며, 표면건조포화상태에선 37% 증가하여 가장 크게 나타났다. 따라서 부착강도를 증진시키기 위해서는 적절한 표면처리와 표면함수상태의 유지가 필수적임을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the structural change of root surface and the occlusion of dentinal tubule following $CO_2$ laser treatment. Seven extracted healthy human premolar werw curetted, sectioned, and four specimens were randomly assigned to each of 6 different treatment groups : 1) untreated EDTA etched control: 2) root plande only: 3) $CO_2$ laser treated with 2W mode 6(10msec/pulse, 20pps) for 1 minute: 4) $CO_2$ laser treated with 2W mode 6(lOmsec/pulse, 20pps) for 2 minutes: 5) $CO_2$ laser treated with 2W mode 7(20msec/pulse, 20pps) for 1 minute: 6) $CO_2$ laser treated with 2W mode 7(20msec/pulse, 20pps) for 2 minutes. Following the prescribed treatment, the specimens were prepared for SEM evaluation. Results showed that $CO_2$ laser may be effective to occlude dentinal tubules tor dentin sensitivity treatment. The effect of dentinal tubule occlusion was enhanced with increasing the total energy level lased to specimen regardless of lasing mode. The structural changes of root surfaces were restricted to superficies, and these changes included fissuring, charring, crater formation over the smooth lava like texture. The charring and crater formation implying root damage was observed in the case of the longer duration of a pulse. The results of the present study suggests that the pulsed $CO_2$ laser with shorter pulse duration and longer exposure time can be used effectively in order to obtain the optimal dentinal tubule occlusion with minimal root damage.

유리섬유강화폴리머(GFRP) 판을 현장타설 고강도콘크리트 구조물의 영구거푸집으로 사용하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 현재 생산되는 GFRP 판의 경우 표면이 매끈하여 콘크리트와 일체 거동에 다소 문제점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GFRP 판 하부의 잔골재 부착여부, GFRP판 웨브의 천공유무 및 간격, 상부 플랜지 폭을 실험 변수로 하여 현장타설 고강도콘크리트와 GFRP를 영구거푸집으로 활용한 전단경간비가 짧은 합성보의 휨/전단파괴거동을 분석하였다. GFRP 판 웨브를 천공하지 않은 경우 잔골재 부착효과 여부를 위한 실험 결과, 잔골재를 부착한 경우 미부착의 경우 보다 약 47% 정도의 높은 극한하중 값을 보여주며, 파괴형태도 휨/전단파괴모드를 보여 주었다. 웨브의 천공유무 및 간격효과는 잔골재를 부착하지 않은 경우 천공간격이 조밀한 경우가 약 24% 정도 높은 극한하중 값을 보여주었으며, 잔골재를 부착한 경우 천공 간격이 조밀하지 않은 경우가 약 25% 정도 낮은 극한하중 값을 보여주었다. 상부플랜지 영향을 살펴보면, 폭 40mm 경우가 20mm에 비해 약 17% 정도 큰 극한하중 값을 보여주었다.
