Several reports supported that continuous exposure to 60 Hz magnetic field (MF) induces testicular germ cell apoptosis in vivo. We recently evaluated duration- and dose-dependent effects of continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF on the testes in mice. BALB/c male mice were exposed to a 60 Hz MF at $100{\mu}T$ for 24 hours a day for 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks, and at 2, 20 or $200{\mu}T$ for 24 hours a day for 8 weeks. To induce the apoptosis of testicular germ cell in mice, the minimum dose is $20{\mu}T$ at continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF for 8 weeks, and the minimum duration is 6 weeks at continuous exposure of $100{\mu}T$. Continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF might affect duration- and dose-dependent biological processes including apoptotic cell death and spermatogenesis in the male reproductive system of mice. The safety guideline of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) indicates that the permissible maximum magnetic flux density for general public exposure is $200{\mu}T$ at 60 Hz EMF (ICNIRP Guidelines, 2010). In the present study, we aimed to examine the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes regulated by the continuous exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ in Sprague-Dawley rats for 20 weeks. The continuous exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ does not affect the body and testicular weight in rats. However, exposure to 60 Hz MF significantly affects testicular germ cell apoptosis and sperm count. Further, the apoptosis-related gene was scrutinized after exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ for 20 weeks. We found that the message level of endonuclease G (EndoG) was greatly increased following the exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ compared with sham control. These data suggested that 60 Hz magnetic field induced testicular germ cell apoptosis through mitochondrial protein Endo G.

An internal membrane bioreactor system was employed for continuous succinic ac id production from glucose in order to prove its performance and practicality. Succinic acid-producing Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens required more $CO_2$ for the proper growth and succinic acid production in cell recycled continuous culture than in batch culture. The maximum productivity obtained in cell recycled continuous culture was about 3.3 g/L-h which was ca. 3.3 times higher than that obtained in batch culture.

Objective : This prospective study evaluated the use of continuous sedation using propofol and remifentanil when carpal tunnel release (CTR) was performed under local anesthesia. Methods : We sedated 60 patients undergoing CTR using local anesthesia with remifentanil at loading and continuous doses of $0.5\;{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$ and $0.05\;{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}min^{-1}$, respectively, and propofol, using a target controlled infusion (TCI) pump set to a target of $2\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ (group A), or with the same drug doses except that the continuous remifentanil dose was $0.07\;{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}min^{-1}$ (group B) or $0.1\;{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}min^{-1}$ (group C). Results : In group B, the levels of pain when local anesthetics were administered (p = 0.001), intraoperative pain (p < 0.001) and anxiety (p = 0.001) were significantly lower than those of group A. Furthermore, the incidence of adverse events, including desaturation (p < 0.001) and vomiting (p = 0.043), was significantly lower in group B than in group C. Conclusion : Continuous sedation using an appropriate dose of remifentanil and propofol can be used as safe, efficacious ambulatory anesthesia in cases of CTR under local anesthesia, performed using only 2 mL of local anesthetic, with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

The use of therapeutic ultrasound(US) in humans with malignant neoplasms has been contra-indicated in physical therapy practice. Some studies have shown the results after application of US inhibited of tumor growth but some studies have shown the results facilitated of tumor growth in mouse. The purpose of this study were to determine the effects of US on rectal sarcoma(CT-26) in mouse and to determine the histological change of tumor. Thirty-five female BALB/C mouse, age 6 to 8 weeks received subcutaneous injection of 0.1 105 tumor cells. When tumors grew to 5 mm in diameters, the mouse were randomly assigned to control group(n=7) and high powered continuous US group(n=7) and low powered continuous US group(n=7) and high powered pulsed US group(n=7) and low powered pulsed US group(n=7). The experimental group (four groups) received 10 treatments over a 10-day period of 3 MHz ultrasound. Tumor dimension were measured on days 1(start of treatment), 5(midtreatment), and 10(end of treatment, preexcision and postexcision). Tumors were weighed after excision and the mouse were observated histological change of tumor. All tumors grew larger over time. Mean tumor weights(in grams) and volumes(in cubic millimeters) were 2.063 g and $2729.313\;mm^3$ for the high powered continuous US group 1.881 g and $2428.002\;mm^3$ for the low powered continuous US group 1.730 g and $2381.002\;mm^3$ for the high powered pulsed US 1.673 g and $2289.562\;mm^3$ for the low powered pulsed US group 1.670 g and $2297.333\;mm^3$ for the control group. Ultrasound increased the weight and volume of subcutaneous tumor in mouse. We urge caution in the use of ultrasound in the areas of tumors.

In this paper, we give a digital graph-theoretical approach of the study of digital images with relation to a simplicial complex. Thus, a digital graph $G_k$ with some k-adjacency in ${\mathbb{Z}}^n$ can be recognized by the simplicial complex spanned by $G_k$. Moreover, we demonstrate that a graphically $(k_0,\;k_1)$-continuous map $f:G_{k_0}{\subset}{\mathbb{Z}}^{n_0}{\rightarrow}G_{k_1}{\subset}{\mathbb{Z}}^{n_1}$ can be converted into the simplicial map $S(f):S(G_{k_0}){\rightarrow}S(G_{k_1})$ with relation to combinatorial topology. Finally, if $G_{k_0}$ is not $(k_0,\;3^{n_0}-1)$-homotopy equivalent to $SC^{n_0,4}_{3^{n_0}-1}$, a graphically $(k_0,\;k_1)$-continuous map (respectively a graphically $(k_0,\;k_1)$-isomorphisim) $f:G_{k_0}{\subset}{\mathbb{Z}}^{n_0}{\rightarrow}G_{k_1}{\subset}{\mathbb{Z}^{n_1}$ induces the group homomorphism (respectively the group isomorphisim) $S(f)_*:{\pi}_1(S(G_{k_0}),\;v_0){\rightarrow}{\pi}_1(S(G_{k_1}),\;f(v_0))$ in algebraic topology.

Alcaligenes eutrophus 균주로 poly-Beta-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) 생산을 위한 연속배양 공정의 성능에 미치는 희석비율, 주입 포도당 및 염화암모늄농도의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 주입 기질농도가 일정할때( 주입 포도당농도=20g/l, 주입 염화암모늄농도=2g/l), 생체성장속도와 PHB생성속도는 희석비율이 각각 0.1, $0.06h^{-1}$에서 최고 값을 나타냈고, $0.13h^{-1}$에서 세포가 전부 배출되었다. 희석비율이 증가함에 따라 비PHB 생성속도는 계속 증가하였지만 PHB 축적비는 50%에서 25%로 감소하였다. 세포농도는 주입 염화암모늄농도가 2g/l일 때 최고값을 나타내었고, 그 이상의 농도에서는 감소하였다. 이 실험결과로 암모늄에 의한 기질저해가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 주입 포도당농도가 30g/l에서 세포농도는 최고값을 나타냈지만 PHB 농도는 계속 증가하였따. 모델속도식에 대한 매개변수는 도식적 방법과 매개변수 추정으로 구하였고 희석비율, 주입 포도당농도, 주입 염화암모늄농도의영향에 대하여 모사한 결과 실험데이타와 잘 일치하였다.

The continuous fermentation process for exe-biopolymer production with Cordyceps militaris has been developed in this research. With the change of dilution rate, biopolymer production has been changed and the maximal biopolymer production has been achieved when the dilution rate was 0.0225/hr. The maximum mycelium concentration and biopolymer concentration were 8 g/L and 4.2 g/L, respectively.

New classes of multifunctions called fuzzy upper and fuzzy lower semi-irresolute (semi-continuous) multifunctions in fuzzy topological spaces are introduced in this paper. We also obtain some characterizations of this class and some basic interesting properties of such fuzzy multifunctions. We discuss mutual relationship and also relationship with other existing such multifunctions.
