1"his Study is to make research a Image and Symbol in the Gothic Architecture. Firstly, the concept of the symbol and the image effect are essentially based on the meaning that the activity of consciousness take on the constitution of the symbol. Therefore the image represent the deepest content of human nature has been imagination and reality. Secondly, the symbol concept showed in Gothic Architecture was associated with the passion of the order of middle ages. The world, the cosmos and the history had been revealed in Gothic architecture. In Gothic Image, Emile Male maintained the symbol of the Catholic Church as above mentioned. The Catholic Church was mirror of the natural, the institution, the moral and history, then this passion of the order was a christian order. Especially, E. Panofsky said that the scholastic method was shown in Gothic architecture. He assert that it was especially dialectic method used in theology. That is, he explained the transfiguration of Gothic Architecture with the process of thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis. These symbolize light, magnitude, clearness. Finally, symbolic image is important in Post-Modem architecture at present. Post-Modern architecture is associated with the public and the Pluralism. Post-Modern architecture attempt to communicate as symbolic language among the assumption for diverse aspect of culture.

Methylation of cytosine is a post-synthesis modification that does not affect the primary DNA sequence but greatly influences gene expression level and phenotypes of an organism. As high-throughput sequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA is the most efficient method to identify methylated sites, several tools to map sequencing reads on a reference are available. But tools to visualize and to interpret the methylation level of methylation sites are currently insufficient. Herein, we present a novel tool to visualize the methylation level of CpG sites.

Copper (II) salts are used as metallizing agents in the synthesis of new non-genotoxic direct dyes for cotton. Specifically, cotton fabric is dyed with non-genotoxic disazo direct dyes and then treated with copper salts. The complexes are characterized by neutron activation analysis, absorption spectrometry and standard Salmonella mammalian mutagenicity assay, and the after-treated fabrics are evaluated for lightfastness and washfastness. Direct dyes possessing ortho-propoxy and ortho'-hydroxy substituted systems formed the corresponding nonmutagenic 1:2 dye:metal complex and undergo significant improvement in lightfastness following metallization.

Naturally occurring sugar mimics with a nitrogen in the ring are classified into five structural classes: polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines, piperidines, indolizidines. pyrrolizidine, and nortropanes. Glycosidase are involved in a wide range of important biological processes, such as intestinal digestion, post-translational processing of glycoproteins and the lysosomal catabolism of glycoconjugate. The realization that alkaloidal sugar mimics might have enormous therapeutic potential in many diseases such as viral infection, cancer and diabetes has led to increasing interest and demand for these compounds.

Objective: To identify the available evidence on the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with three-dimensional imaging and provide meta-analytic data from studies assessing the outcomes using computed tomography. Methods: Eleven electronic databases were searched, and prospective case series were selected. Two authors screened all titles and abstracts and assessed full texts of the remaining articles. Seventeen case series were included in the quantitative synthesis. Seven outcomes were investigated: nasal cavity width, maxillary basal bone width, alveolar buccal crest width, alveolar palatal crest width, inter-molar crown width, inter-molar root apex width, and buccopalatal molar inclination. The outcomes were investigated at two-time points: post-expansion (2-6 weeks) and post-retention (4-8 months). Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were used to summarize and combine the data. Results: All the investigated outcomes showed significant differences post-expansion (maxillary basal bone width, +2.46 mm; nasal cavity width, +1.95 mm; alveolar buccal crest width, +3.90 mm; alveolar palatal crest width, +3.09 mm; intermolar crown width, +5.69 mm; inter-molar root apex width, +2.85 mm; and dental tipping, +3.75°) and post-retention (maxillary basal bone width, +2.21 mm; nasal cavity width, +1.55 mm; alveolar buccal crest width, +3.57 mm; alveolar palatal crest width, +3.32 mm; inter-molar crown width, +5.43 mm; inter-molar root apex width, +4.75 mm; and dental tipping, 2.22°) compared to pre-expansion. Conclusions: After RME, skeletal expansion of the nasomaxillary complex was greater in most caudal structures. Maxillary basal bone showed 10% post-retention relapse. During retention period, uprighting of maxillary molars occurred.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the association of cigarette smoking with the prevalence of post-endodontic apical periodontitis in humans. Materials and Methods: We searched through PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception to December 2020. Risk of bias was performed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies. We performed the statistical analysis in Review Manager 5.3 (RevMan 5.3). Results: 6 studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Statistical analysis of these studies suggests that there were no differences in the prevalence of post endodontic apical periodontitis (AP) when comparing non-smokers vs smoker subjects regarding patients (odds ratio [OR], 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31-1.49; I2 = 58%) and teeth (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 0.99-2.93; I2 = 72%). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there was no association between cigarette smoking and post-endodontic apical periodontitis, as we did not find statistical differences in the prevalence of post-endodontic AP when comparing non-smokers vs smoker subjects. Therefore, smoking should not be considered a risk factor associated with endodontic failure.

In this study, we attempted to determine the precise patterns of protein synthesis during the second cleavage in mouse. F1 hybrid 2-cell embryos showing a highly synchronized cell cycle and outbreed ICR strain 2-cell embryos were used. The patterns of protein synthesis during the second cleavage showed the sequential changes in the F1 hybrid and ICR strain 2-cell embryos. Moreover, we examined the effects of mitotic and transcriptional inhibitors such as colcemid and a-amanitin on the protein synthesis in the late 2-cell embryos of ICR strain. Treatment of colcemid (0.1mg/ml) blocked the second cleavage, but did not affect on the change of protein synthesis. However, treatment of a-amanitin induced the synthesis of two set of polypeptides without affecting on synthesis of other proteins and cleavage. It thus seems that the appearance of a-amanitin-sensitive proteins may be not involved in the second cleavage. Therefore, these results indicate that the second cell cycle in mouse embryos appears to be regulated at post transcriptional level, presumably independent on the expression of embryonic genome. 본 연구는 생쥐 배아의 2세포기 분열과정중 단백질 합성양상과 단백질합성에 미치는 colcemid와 $\alpha$-amanitin의 영향을 조사하였다 이를 위하여 체내 수정된 ICR strain의 2세포기 배아와 매우 일치된 초기배아 분열양상을 보여주는 체외 수정된 F1 (C57BL x CBA) hybrid 2세포기 배아를 사용하였다. 두 종류의 2세포기 배아에서 단백질 합성은 분열단계에 따라서 매우 일치된 변화를 보여 주었다. 또한 유사분열 억제제인 colcemid (0.1mg/ml)의 처리는 2세포기 배아분열을 억제하였으나, 단백질 합성에는 아무런 변화를 주지 못하였다. 그리고 후기 2세포기 배아에 전사 억제제인 a-amanitin (100mg/ml)을 처리하였을 때 세포분열이나 다른 단백질의 합성에는 아무런 영향이 없이 단지 두개의 단백질의 합성만을 유도하였다. 이는 아마도 a-amanitin의 stress효과에 기인하는 것으로 추측된다. 따라서 생쥐 2세포기 배아의 분열과정은 배아게놈의 유전자 발현과는 무관하게 이미 합성되어 존재하는 mRNA에 의하여 조절되는 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we prepared NiCo2O4 nanoparticles with large surface area by hydrothermal synthesis. In order to optimize the processing conditions for spinel NiCo2O4 nanoparticles with large surface area, experimental variables including concentration of Ni and Co precursor, reaction time, and temperature for post-heat treatment were evaluated. Optimized conditions for spinel NiCo2O4 with large surface area were [Ni]/[Co] 1:2 ratio, reaction time for 12 h, and post-heat treatment at 400℃. To investigate the feasibility as potential application for glucose sensor, electrochemical tests of the prepared NiCo2O4 nanoparticles in response to glucose was performed, which suggests that the NiCo2O4 can be suitable for a non-enzymatic-based electrochemical glucose sensor based on its high sensitivity and selectivity for glucose detection.

In this experiment, we aimed to investigate the role of copper in regulating the biosynthesis of a myokine called apelin in mammalian skeletal muscle cells. Our approach involved culturing skeletal muscle cells and subjecting them to treatments with copper sulfate or a copper chelator known as bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS). We employed standard techniques, such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting, to assess the synthesis of apelin at different stages, including transcription, translation, and post-translational modifications. Our findings demonstrated that copper had an inhibitory effect on apelin biosynthesis at all three stages: transcription, translation, and post-translation. However, when we treated the cells with BCS, the biosynthesis of apelin was restored to its original state. This finding suggests that copper is required for the synthesis of apelin in mammalian skeletal muscle cells. This study represents the first documented evidence of the inorganic copper-dependent regulation of apelin biosynthesis, shedding light on potential strategies for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia induced by copper imbalances.

Graphene was synthesized using rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RT-CVD) equipment designed to produce largearea graphene at high speed. The effects of methane (CH₄), argon (Ar), and hydrogen (H₂) gases were investigated between 800 ℃ and 1,000 ℃ during heating and cooling in the graphene synthesis process. The findings reveal that multilayer domains increased due to hydrogen pretreatment with increase in temperature. Furthermore, when pretreated with the same gas, it was confirmed that the post-argon-treated sample cooled from 1,000 ℃ to 800 ℃ had a higher I_D/I_G value than that of the other samples. This result was consistent with the sheet resistance properties of graphene. The sample prepared in methane atmosphere maintained during both the pre-treatment and post-treatment demonstrated the lowest sheet resistance of 787.49 Ω/sq. Maintaining the methane gas atmosphere in the high-temperature region during graphene synthesis by RT-CVD reduced the defects and improved the electrical property.
