<P>Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality rate in patients but clinically available biomarkers for disease detection are currently not available. Recently, a new biomarker, selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1), was identified for detection of nephrotoxicity using proteomic analysis. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity of urinary SBP1 levels as an early detection of AKI using animal models such as cisplatin or ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with cisplatin (6 mg/kg, once i.p.) and sacrificed at 1, 3, or 5 days after treatment. Ischemia was achieved by bilaterally occluding both kidneys with a microvascular clamp for 45 min and verified visually by a change in tissue color. After post-reperfusion, urine samples were collected at 9, 24, and 48 hr intervals. Urinary excretion of protein-based biomarkers was measured by Western blot analysis. In cisplatin-treated rats, mild histopathologic alterations were noted at day 1 which became severe at day 3. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels were significantly increased at day 3. Levels of urinary excretion of SBP1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were markedly elevated at day 3 and 5 following drug treatment. In the vehicle-treated I/R group, serum levels of BUN and SCr and AST activity were significantly increased compared to sham. Urinary excretion of SBP1 and NGAL rose markedly following I/R. The urinary levels of SBP1, NGAL, TIMP-1, and KIM-1 proteins excreted by AKI patients and normal subjects were compared. Among these proteins, a marked rise in SBP1 was observed in urine of patients with AKI compared to normal subjects. Based upon receiver-operator curves (ROC), SBP1 displayed a higher area under the curve (AUC) scores than levels of SCr, BUN, total protein, and glucose. In particular, SBP1 protein was readily detected in small amounts of urine without purification. Data thus indicate that urinary excretion of SBP1 may be useful as a reliable biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI in patients.</P>

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury with high morbidity and mortality due to limited therapy. AKI emerges in various clinical settings and is complex with outcome linking oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. Therefore protection of AKI is still an unsolved problem. Indomethacin is generally known that it inhibits the production of prostaglandins through the inhibition both cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 and 2. Prostaglandins have a wide variety of effect such as regulation of vasodilation, inflammation, regeneration, pain, fever. Therefore effect of indomethacin in AKI is different according to injury model. We investigated whether indomethacin which inhibits the production of prostaglandins aggravate the renal injury in AKI mouse model. Methods: Male C57/BL6 mice (8-10 weeks old, weight 20~25 g) were used. Acute kidney injury is induced by bilateral kidneys pedicle clamping which were subjected to 20 min or 30 min at both kidneys. Mice were treated with indomethacin at before and after injury. Blood and kidney samples were collected at 24 hr after IRI. The expression level of creatinine, N-gal & Kim-1 were detected in serum. And the expression level of PGE2, cAMP and adenosine were detected in kidney. Kidney Injury score were measured by HE staining and TUNEL. Results: In bilateral AKI model, Serum NGAL level and creatinine level were significantly highest in indomethacin treated group compared to non-treated group (NGAL, p<0.05; creatinine, p<0.01). Indomethacin treated group showed significantly more necrosis and apoptosis compared to non-treated group. Furthermore, Indomethacine inhibited the production of prostaglandins, cAMP and adenosine. Conclusions: Indomethacin inhibits adenosine-mediated renal protection by inhibition of prostaglandin production in AKI. Therefore Indomethacin worsened renal injury by inhibition of prostaglandin production in AKI. * This research was supported by a grant of the Korea Health Technology R&D Project through the KHIDI, funded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (grant number :H15C2212)

Science-Technology-Society (STS) educational system has been concerned with a reform in science education as a new direction and goal. The goal of STS education is to develop students who can understand how science, technology, and society are interrelated. and use this knowledge in everyday decision making. In Korea, STS was introduced in the Fifth Curriculum and more emphasized in the Six Curriculum. The major purpose of this study are to examine how many page are alloted to the STS material in each chapters of seven different high school ChemistryⅡ textbooks, compiled in accordance with Sixth Curriculum, to compare and analyze the contents of STS materials by chapters, subject and category of activity, and to check up how many materials relevant to STS are included in those textbooks. 1. In the chapters of those textbooks the STS materials are alloted from 1.2% to 4.2%, on the average 2.7% of all page. This percentage of the STS materials is the less than half of that of NSTA. Trying to approach of STS to questions, reading materials etc, it leaves much to be desired in development of the body of the text. 2. By chapters, 3.8% of the STS materials are included in chapter "Chemical bond and Compound", 3.2% in "Atomic Structure and Periodic", 2.2% in "State and Solution of materials and 1.9% in "Material Science".. We can see that the percentage of STS materials is the highest in "Chemical bond and Compound". 3. STS materials are analyzed by STS topics by Piel, 33.7% of STS materials are the topics on effects of technological developments, 27.5% on environmental problem and utilization of natural resources, 19.6% on human engineering 13.8% on sociology of science, and nothing on population, and space research and national defense. 4. The topics on energy are included in "Chemical Bond and Compound" and "Chemical Reaction" chapter. Issue regarding human engineering, environment problem, and technological developments and their effects are included in "Chemical Bond and Compound". And the topics on sociology of science are mostly explained in "Atomic Structure and Periodic" and "Chemical Reaction". 5. STS materials are analyzed by using SATIS activities. Most of these activities are research studies, case studies, study devices and organized discussions and no role plays.

Convective smoke spread in a corridor is experimentally investigated using thermocouples and visualization technique with a laser beam sheet. The speed of smoke front under a ceiling is measured by a series of thermocouples. Visualization of the ceiling jet formation and of smoke filling process is carried out to observe the lowering of a smoke layer. From the results, a large-scale convective motion plays dominant roles for smoke spread in the vicinity of the end of the corridor from visualized photos along with temperature records. The large-scale convective motion of the smoke is generated from the impingement of the ceiling jet front on the end of the corridor, and thus turning the flows toward the floor. Such a circulating motion of fluid transports some smoke to some region where its momentum is effective. It is therefore shown that the conventional concept of lowering smoke in the two-layer zone model has some restrictions for the corridor because the lowering of smoke layer has been thought to be mass transport due to relatively small scale motions such as the decrease of buoyancy, mass diffusion and momentum exchanges.

Generally, the pile foundation is used in the form of the group pile. Pile foundations used in coastal structure, power transmission tower, and abutment are considered as active piles that are affected by the lateral load. So in this paper, we conducted a model test on the sand ground with 3×3 arrangement by changing the relative density and the spacing ratio of group pile. The result of the study is following : In group piles, as the displacement of top is increasing, the lateral load capacity also increases. In group piles, when the relative density is constant, as the spacing ratio is increasing, the lateral load capacity increases. When the spacing ratio is constant, as the relative density is increasing, the lateral capacity load increases. The efficiency of group pile is increasing as the spacing ratio increases. And the efficiency of long group piles is constant, but the efficiency of short group piles is decreasing as the relative density increases. In the case of short group piles, the limit pile spacing ratio didn't appear. But in the case of long group piles, the limit pile spacing ratio is observed about 5D.
