  • Lycopene, which is a well-known red carotenoid pigment, has been drawing scientific interest because of its potential biological functions. The current study reports that lycopene acts as a bactericidal agent by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated DNA damage in Escherichia coli. Lycopene treatment elevated the level of ROS-in particular, hydroxyl radicals ($^*OH$)-which can damage DNA in E. coli. Lycopene-induced DNA damage in bacteria was confirmed and we also observed cell filamentation caused by cell division arrest, an indirect marker of the DNA damage repair system, in lycopene-treated E. coli. Increased RecA expression was observed, indicating activation of the DNA repair system (SOS response). To summarize, lycopene exerts its antibacterial effects by inducing $^*OH$-mediated DNA damage that cannot be ameliorated by the SOS response. Lycopene may be a clinically useful adjuvant for current antimicrobial therapies.

  • Statement of problem. The current trend in prosthodontics is the adoption of a conservative approach to preparing dental prostheses by minimizing the amount of sound tooth structure removal during preparation. Purpose. The major disadvantage of the adhesion bridge is the inherently poor resistance to dislodgement that its use in areas subjected to high occlusal load is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the dislodgement resistance of $Bio-pin^{(R)}$, conventional 3-unit and adhesion bridges. Material and methods. The experimental groups were classified as follows : Group I : 3-unit bridge cemented using $Super-Bond^{(R)}$ C&B Group II : Adhesion bridge cemented using $Super-Bond^{(R)}$ C&B Group III : $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ design adhesion bridge without incorporation of $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ (cemented using $Super-Bond^{(R)}$ C&B) Group IV-1 : $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ retained adhesion bridge incorporating a single $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ (cemented using $Super-Bond^{(R)}$ C&B) Group IV-2 : $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ retained adhesion bridge incorporating a single $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ (cemented using $Panavia^{(R)}$ F) Group V : $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ retained adhesion bridge incorporating two $Bio-pins^{(R)}$ (cemented using $Super-Bond^{(R)}$ C&B) Results. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Significant differences in dislodgement resistance of the restorations were found between Group I, Group II and Group III (p<0.05). No significant differences in dislodgement resistance of the restorations were observed between Group I Group IV-1 and Group V. However, there were significant differences in dislodgement resistance between Group II and the other groups (p<0.05). 2. No significant differences in dislodgement resistance of the restorations were observed between GroupIV-1 and GroupIV-2, both of which utilized a single $Bio-pin^{(R)}$. However, significant differences were observed when Group III was compared to either GroupIV-1 or Group V (p<0.05). 3. No significant differences in dislodgement resistance relative to the type of dental cements used were found. Conclusion. From the above results, it is concluded that the dislodgement resistance of $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ bridge restorations utilizing a single $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ is similar to that of a conventional 3-unit bridge. The results also suggest that $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ bridge restorations using a single $Bio-pin^{(R)}$ are a viable alternative to the conventional 3-unit bridge when minimal removal of sound tooth structure and fulfillment of both function and esthetic aspects are considered.

  • The activities of Au-modified Cu electrodes toward glucose oxidation are evaluated according to their fabrication conditions and physico-chemical properties. The Au-modified Cu electrodes are fabricated by the galvanic displacement of Au on a Cu substrate and the characteristics of the Au particles are controlled by adjusting the displacement time. From the glucose oxidation tests, it is found that the Au modified Cu has superior activity to the pure Au or Cu film, which is evidenced by the negative shift in the oxidation potential and enhanced current density during the electrochemical oxidation. Though the activity of the Au nanoparticles is a contributing factor, the enhanced activity of the Au-modified Cu electrode is due to the increased oxidation number of Cu through the electron transfer from Cu to more electronegative Au. The depletion of electron in Cu facilitates the oxidation of glucose. The stability of the Au-modified Cu electrode was also studied by chronoamperometry.

  • Advancements in bio-ceramic technology has revolutionised endodontic material science by enhancing the treatment outcome for patients. This class of dental materials conciliates excellent biocompatibility with high osseoconductivity that render them ideal for endodontic care. Few recently introduced bio-ceramic materials have shown considerable clinical success over their early generations in terms of good handling characteristics. Calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, Endosequence sealer, and root repair materials, Biodentine and BioAggregate are the new classes of bio-ceramic materials. The aim of this literature review is to present investigations regarding properties and applications of CEM cement in endodontics. A review of the existing literature was performed by using electronic and hand searching methods for CEM cement from January 2006 to December 2013. CEM cement has a different chemical composition from that of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) but has similar clinical applications. It combines the biocompatibility of MTA with more efficient characteristics, such as significantly shorter setting time, good handling characteristics, no staining of tooth and effective seal against bacterial leakage.

  • Green economy, also known as sustainable economy, is a current development trend in which consumers prefer products that are wholly or partly derived from materials of biological origin since they have become more concerned about their health and the environment in which they live. This study aims to examine consumer behavior toward bio-based products with three key goals in mind. First, it helps to understand the perception of consumers toward Bio-based products. Second, it properly helps consumers be aware of products derived from materials of biological origin so that the consumer can make purchasing decisions to protect their health and contribute to the protection of the environment. Third, the study on consumer behavior towards bio-based products will provide a more accurate view and assessment to companies looking to develop Bio-based products. Based on that, the research is carried out through surveying, collecting data from consumers, and then using the deductive approach, descriptive statistics, and quantitative method analysis. The results demonstrated that a positive relationship and a direct impact are established between the variables of Attitude and Social Norms and the Purchase Intention toward Bio-based products. Furthermore, the findings reveal that customers have positive feelings towards bio-based products in terms of trust, knowledge, and the environment.

  • 공인인증서와 바이오 정보를 활용하여 인증과정을 처리하고 있는 기관이 증가하고 있고 휴대용 바이오 인증기기를 배급하여 공인인증서와 바이오인증을 병행할 수 있도록 발전하고 있다. 개인의 PC나 스마트 디바이스를 이용한 인증이 범용화 되어가면서 인증에 대한 편의성이 증대되어가고 있는데 비해 네트워크 레벨에서의 보안과의 연계성에 대한 검토는 미약한 실정이다. 공인인증서와 바이오 정보의 연계를 통한 인증방식이 현재 네트워크 접근제어와 연계된다면 좀 더 강력한 보안정책으로 발전할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 보안토큰에서의 취약한 개인인증 기법에 대한 취약점을 바이오인식과 같은 확실하고 안전한 개인인증 기법으로 연계함으로써 바이오 정보 노출 방지 및 바이오정보 본인 확인 수행 여부를 검증할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하였다. 아울러, 802.1x 네트워크 인증방식과 연계할 수 있는 시나리오를 정리하고 이의 실현을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

  • 우리나라는 노란잔산잠자리(M. daimoji Okumura, 1949)를 멸종위기 야생생물로 지정하여 보호하고 있고, 국가적색목록 평가에서 위기(EN)로 등재하였다. 이들은 주로 동북아지역에 서식하는데, 우리나라에는 위도상 사천시(35.1°)부터 연천군(38.0°)까지, 경도상 연천군(126.8°)부터 양산시(128.9°)까지 관찰되었다. 서식지는 저지대의 평지하천에 하상재료가 모래로 이루어져 있고, 유속이 완만한 하천의 가장자리와 하중도의 가장자리, 하천 구역에 일시적으로 형성된 웅덩이를 선호한다. 노란잔산잠자리 출현 지점에서의 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집구조는 낙동강 본류의 경우 서식지에 따라 군집 조성의 차이가 적었고, 지류의 경우 주변 환경과 하천의 규모에 따라 낙동강 본류보다 군집 조성의 차이가 컸다. 현재 분포지역을 토대로 MaxEnt 모델을 이용하여 잠재적 분포를 예측한 결과, 낙동강 본류와 지류에 서식할 가능성이 높았다. 환경변수 중 기여도는 BIO03(36.2%), BIO10(15.8%), BIO14(13.8%), BIO12(12.5%), BIO08(6.1%) 등의 순으로, 모형에 대한 중요도는 BIO10(43.7%), BIO14(14.6%), BIO17(13.78%), BIO13(9.8%), BIO02(6.7%), BIO18(5.2%) 등의 순으로 높았다. 노란잔산잠자리의 공통사회경제경로를 통한 미래 분포 예측에 있어서 재생에너지 기술 발달로 화석연료 사용을 최소화한 SSP1은 서식가능지역이 넓은 범위에서 확대되었으며 산업기술의 빠른 발전에 중심을 두어 화석연료 사용이 높고 도시 위주의 무분별한 개발이 확대될 것을 가정한 SSP5는 대체로 증가하는 것으로 예측되었다. 이들의 서식지는 하천공사, 골재채취 등과 같은 물리적 환경변화와 강우 강도의 증가에 의한 홍수 등 급변하는 기후변화에 영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 노란잔산잠자리 보호를 위해서는 생태계 환경변화관찰을 위한 장기적인 모니터링 수행과 개체군 유지를 위한 보전방안 수립이 요구된다.
