${\beta}ig$-h3, is a TGF-${\beta}$-induced gene product, extracellular matrix protein with 68 kDa MW(683 amino acids) and has been known for its possible roles in cell adhesion, spreading, migration and proliferation. To minimize a proteolytic degradation of ${\beta}ig$-h3, ${\beta}ig$-h3 incorporated chitosan sponge was prepared and its effects on fibroblast adhesion and migration were investigated. And its wound healing efficacy was evaluated in deep 2nd degree burn rabbit ear wound model. ${\beta}ig$-h3 enhanced fibroblast adhesion and proliferation. In histological observation, a significant over-proliferation of epidermal regeneration was observed in ${\beta}ig$-h3/chitosan dressing applied wound while epidermal regeneration was not proceeded yet in chitosan only treated wound. ${\beta}ig$-h3/sponge dressing could enhance epidermal regeneration.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of ratio of anionic/nonionic surfactant mixture on detergency of particulate soil under various solutions. The detergency of the particulate soil was determined by adhesion of particle to fabric and its removal from fabric separately. The PET fabric and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$were used as materials of textile and model of particulate soil, respectively. The detergency was investigated as a function of surfactants concentration, ionic strength, kinds of electrolyte and mole numbers of oxyethylene ether of nonionic surfactant in different ratio of anionic/nonionic surfactant mixture. Although some deviations exist, the adhesion of particle to fabric generally increased with decreasing its removal from fabric. The detergency of particulate soil on PET fabric was relatively higher in anionic/nonionic surfactant mixed solution than in each single surfactant solution, but the influence of ratio of anionic/nonionic surfactant mixture on detergency of particulate soil was low. Generally the detergency of particulate soil on fabric was at its maximum at 0.1% surfactant concentration, $1{\times}10^{-3}$ ionic strength, $Na_5P_3O_{10}$ electrolytes and 10 mole numbers of oxyethylene ether of nonionic surfactant, regardless of ratio of anionic/nonionic surfactant mixture.

In this paper, a 4-wheel vehicle model including the effects of tire slip was considered, along with variable parameter sliding control, pushrod force as the end control parameter, and an antilock sliding control, in order to improve the performance of the vehicle longitudinal response. The variable sliding parameter is made to be proportional to the square root of the pressure derivative at the wheel, in order to compensate for large pressure changes in the brake cylinder. A typical tire force-relative slip curve for dry road conditions was used to generate an analytical tire force-relative slip function, and an antilock sliding control process based on the analytical tire force-relative slip function was used. A retrofitted brake system, with the pushrod force as the end control parameter, was employed, and an average decay function was used to suppress the simulation oscillations. Simulation results indicate that the velocity and spacing errors were slightly larger than the results that without considering wheel slip effect, the spacing errors of the lead and follower were insensitive to the adhesion coefficient up to the critical wheel slip value, and the limit for the antilock control on non-constant adhesion road condition was determined by the minimum of the equivalent adhesion coefficient.

Selectins are carbohydrate-binding cell adhesion molecules that play a major role in the initiation of inflammatory responses. Heparin can bind to P-selectin, and its anti-inflammatory property is mainly due to inhibition of P-selectin. However, the strong anticoagulant activity of heparin limits its clinical use. We prepared periodate-oxidized, borohydride-reduced heparin (RO-heparin) by chemical modification and tested its anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory activities. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assays showed that, compared with heparin, RO-heparin had greatly reduced anticoagulant activity. Intravenous administration of this compound led to reduction in the peritoneal infiltration of neutrophils in a mouse acute inflammation model. In vitro cell adhesion experiments demonstrated that the effect of RO-heparin on inflammatory responses was mainly due to inhibiting the interaction of P-selectin with its ligands. These results indicate that RO-heparin may be a safer treatment for inflammation than heparin, especially when selectin is targeted.

A Electrostatic chuck is a device that fixes the substrate, using the force between charges applied between two parallel plates to attract substrates such as wafers or OLED panels. Unlike mechanical suction methods, which rely on physical fixation, this method utilizes the force of electrostatics for fixation, making it important to verify the adhesion force. As the size of the substrate increases, deformations due to gravity or chucking force also increase, and the adhesion force decreases rapidly as the distance between the chuck and the substrate increases. The outlook for displays is shifting from small to large OLEDs, necessitating consideration of substrate deformations. In this paper, to confirm the deformation of the substrate through various patterns, a simplified 2D model using Ansys' electromagnetic field analysis program, Maxwell, and the static structural analysis program, Mechanical, was utilized to observe changes in adhesion force according to the variation in the air gap between the substrate and the chuck. Additionally, the chucking force was analyzed for the size of the substrate, and the deformation of the substrate was confirmed when gravity and chucking force act simultaneously.

눈물 층을 사이에 두고 각막 위에 부착되어 있는 콘택트 렌즈(하드렌즈)에는 모세관 현상에 따른 장력이 렌즈 가장 자리에 균일하게 방사형으로 작용한다. 이러한 장력은 렌즈가 각막에 부착되는 힘의 근원이 된다. 렌즈착용 시 자체 무게에 의한 렌즈의 회전과 렌즈가 평형상태에 도달 한 후 각막에 부착되는 힘을 계산할 수 있는 방정식과 이의 수치 계산 컴퓨터 프로그램을 수립하였으며 이 컴퓨터 모델을 사용하여 렌즈 구경, 렌즈 B.C, 눈물의 점성, 눈물 층의 두께 등의 변수가 렌즈의 평형 위치 및 부착력에 미치는 영향을 모사(simulation)하였다. 일정 각막 B.C에서 렌즈 B.C 증가에 따라 눈물 충의 간격은 급격히 증가하는데 비해 렌즈의 직경 증가는 완만한 간격 증가를 수반한다. 렌즈의 B.C가 증가할수록, 즉 렌즈의 곡률이 완만할수록, 렌즈가 각막에 fitting되는 부착력은 급격하게 감소하며 직경 감소는 완만한 부착력 감소를 초래한다. 렌즈가 각막에 부착되는 순간 렌즈의 무게로 인하여 아래 방향으로의 회전 모멘트가 발생하게 되며 이와 동시에 렌즈 위 부분 눈물 층의 간격이 아래 부분보다 좁아지게 되어 위 방향으로 알짜 힘이 작용하게 되며 이에 따른 역방향 모멘트는 중력에 의한 모멘트를 상쇄하게 되어 렌즈는 일정 위치에서 평형 상태에 도달하게 된다. 렌즈 착용에 수반되는 초기 회전각 또는 회전 변위는 렌즈의 B.C가 증가할수록 급격히 증가하는데 비해 렌즈 구경 증가는 변위 증가율이 완만하다.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the detergency of particulate soil using an $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model. Monodispersed spherical $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were prepared by the hydrothermal aging of an acidic $FeCl_3$ and HCl solution. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber was measured by the streaming potential method. The potential energy of interaction between the particle and fiber was calculated using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber and potential energy of interaction between particles and fiber increased with a decreasing particle size in a DBS solution. However, in the nonionic surfactant solution, the $\xi$-potential signs of PET fiber and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were (-) and (+), respectively; there was no repulsive power between the particles and substrate. The adhesion of particles to the fabric increased with increasing particle size in the anionic surfactant solution and their removal from the fabric increased with a decreasing particle size. The adhesion of particles to the fabric and their removal from the fabric was biphasic with a maximum and minimum at 0.1% concentration of the surfactant solution. In the nonionic surfactant solution the adhesion of particles to fabric and their removal from the fabric were greater than the ones in the anionic surfactant DBS solution.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to develop and validate a standardized in vitro pathogenic biofilm attached onto saliva-coated surfaces. Methods: Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) strains were grown under anaerobic conditions as single species and in dual-species cultures. Initially, the bacterial biomass was evaluated at 24 and 48 hours to determine the optimal timing for the adhesion phase onto saliva-coated polystyrene surfaces. Thereafter, biofilm development was assessed over time by crystal violet staining and scanning electron microscopy. Results: The data showed no significant difference in the overall biomass after 48 hours for P. gingivalis in single- and dual-species conditions. After adhesion, P. gingivalis in single- and dual-species biofilms accumulated a substantially higher biomass after 7 days of incubation than after 3 days, but no significant difference was found between 5 and 7 days. Although the biomass of the F. nucleatum biofilm was higher at 3 days, no difference was found at 3, 5, or 7 days of incubation. Conclusions: Polystyrene substrates from well plates work as a standard surface and provide reproducible results for in vitro biofilm models. Our biofilm model could serve as a reference point for studies investigating biofilms on different surfaces.

Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammation. It has been reported that berberine inhibits experimental colitis through inhibition of IL-8, and that inhibitory effect of berberine on inflammatory cytokine expression is mediated through peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)-$\gamma$. In this study, we examined the effects and action mechanism of berberine on the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$-induced monocyte adhesion to HT29 human colonic epithelial cells, which is commonly used as an in vitro model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Berberine significantly inhibited the TNF-$\alpha$-induced monocyte adhesion to HT29, which is similar to the effect of PDTC, a nuclear factor (NF)-$\kappa$B inhibitor. However, ciglitazone and GW, the ligands of PPAR-$\gamma$, did not suppress the TNF-$\alpha$-induced monocyte adhesion to HT29 cells. In addition, TNF-$\alpha$-induced chemokine expression and NF-$\kappa$B transcriptional activity were significantly inhibited by berberine in a concentration-dependent manner. The results suggest that inhibitory effect of berberine on colitis is mediated through suppression of NF-$\kappa$B and NF-$\kappa$B-dependent chemokine expression.

물리 기반 시뮬레이션에서 젖은 머리카락이나 털의 응집력과 뻣뻣함을 시뮬레이션 하는 것은 어려운 문제 중 하나이다. 젖은 머리카락이나 털은 끝부분이 뭉치고 뻣뻣해지는 것이 특징이며, 이는 젖은 동물의 털이나 머리카락에서 볼 수 있는 현상이다. 또한 젖은 머리카락은 고체와 상호작용을 하면 접착력이 발생하지만, 이 문제는 곱슬머리에서 힘의 분산과 균형이 달라지기 때문에 해결하기 어려워진다. 기존 방법에서는 수작업을 통해 젖은 머리를 표현하거나 정적인 헤어스타일로 젖은 곱슬머리 및 털을 표현한다. 그러나 젖은 곱슬머리의 디테일을 묘사하는 방법에 대한 연구는 아직 활발히 연구되지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 젖은 곱슬머리의 컬 과장, 응집력, 접착력 그리고 강성을 효율적으로 모델링하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 응집력을 효율적으로 시뮬레이션하고 강성 제약 조건을 곱슬머리 역학과 통합하여 안정적으로 모발의 탄성을 제어한다.
