Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder. Adenophorae Radix (AR) has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases including strengthening cardiac function, allaying a fever, and easing pain and cough. However, the regulatory effects of AR in intestinal inflammation are not yet understood. This study attempted to determine the effect of AR in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) ? induced colitis in mice. The colitis mice were induced by drinking water containing 5% DSS for 7 days. The results showed that mice treated with DSS showed remarkable clinical signs, including weight loss, and reduced colon length. Administration of AR attenuated weight loss, colon shortening and inhibited the levels of interleukin (IL) ? 6 in DSS ? treated colon tissues. These results provide experimental evidence that AR might be a useful therapeutic medicine for patients with UC.

Owing to frequent heavy rain due to abnormal weather, the occurrence of pepper anthracnose has recently increased, which affects the supply and demand of pepper. As a result, the price of red pepper powder in 2011, for example, increased three times compared to the average year. Although anthracnose of pepper plants has been controlled by fungicides until now, it is important to develop new resistant cultivars because of the reduction of the labor force in rural area and occurrence of new anthracnose strains resistant to fungicides. National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science developed two pepper lines, ‘Wonye 100005’ and ‘Wonye 100006’ that are resistant to pepper anthracnose. These lines were developed by continuous selection of progenies from a cross between ‘Wonye AR1’, which were developed from interspecific hybridization and ‘TF68’. The anthracnose resistance level of the two lines was higher than that of commercial cultivars and similar to check varieties showing highest level of anthracnose resistance.

External lyogels containing prostaglandin E₁ethyl ester(PGE₁-EE), a produrg of prostaglandin E₁(PGE₁) as a therapeutic agent for erectile dysfunction, were formulated to overcome the aqueous instability and enhance the percutaneous absorption. Lyogels of PGE₁-EE were prepared with ethanol (EtOH)/proplyene glycol (PG) cosolvent system as a vehicle, cineol as an enhancer, and hydroxypropylcellusose as a gelling agent. In vitro percutaneous absorption studies were performed to determine the rate of PGE₁ absorption through rat or hairless mouse skin. The permeability of PGE₁-EE lyogel with enhancer was 16-fold greater than that of lyogel without enhancer. Cosolvent produced 9-fold increase in percutaneous absorption. Pharmacodynamic effects of lyogels were evaluated in mature male cats in terms of intracavernosal pressure (ICP). Lyogles containing 0.01% of PGE₁-EE showed higher ICP compared to intraurethral preparation of PGE₁(1%) and enhancer-free control lyogel. The shelf-life (t_(10%) of lyogel at refrigerated condition (4℃) was calculated as 928 days, which is 4.2 times longer than that of control hydrogel. As a result, PGE₁-EE was formulated successfully to a lyogel system with a selective enhancer and cosolvent system for the topical delivery of PGE₁.

This study was carried out to interpret hydraulic behavior and CO₂gas desorption in countercurrent packing tower which packed 50 mm plastic Hiflow-ring. The results are as follows: 1. To compare with conventional packing, 50mm Hiflow-ring could save energy because of low pressure drop under high load. 2. As relative error between calculated value and investigated value was less than 6% in the loading point and flooding point we found that we can predict results mathematically which occurres in the packing tower. 3. The unique magnituteds of packing which was used are as follows. C_(L) = 2.1×10^(-4), n = 0.787 so we can predict efficency which occurres.

The objective of this study was to examine two new parameters by which we could screen people with malignant vocal folds. The new parameters were the difference sums and Pearson correlation coefficients between adjacent pairs of intensity level matrices of narrow-band spectra. Audio files from the Korean Disordered Speech Database were analyzed by Praat, a speech analysis softWare, to obtain matrices of 400 intensity levels at 16 time points of each sustained vowel spectra. We limited our study to 12 normal subjects and 20 patients with malignant vocal folds who recorded at least three Korean vowels at a sound-proofed booth in Busan National University Hospital. Results indicated that the average coefficients of the abnormal subjects were much lower than those of the normal subjects while the average difference sums of the patients were much higher than those of the normal ones. Also, we found that the degree of the malignancy of the vocal folds was related to the coefficients and sums. However, some subjects at the initial stages of cancerous vocal folds yielded almost comparable coefficients and difference sums to those of the normal speakers. Further studies on larger databases will be desirable to set certain criteria or threshold levels for screening people with vocal fold diseases.

본 연구는 예방적 레진 수복술에 전통적으로 사용되던 소와열구 전색제를 대신하여, 유동성 복합 레진이 사용될 경우의 타당성을 검토하기 위해 시행되었다. 비커스 미세경도를 측정하기 위해 직경 10 mm, 높이 3 mm인 11개의 시편을 제작하여 비커스 미세경도 측정기(FM-7, FUTURE-TEC Inc., Japan)를 이용하여 압입하중 50 gf, 유지시간 15초의 조건 하에서 측정하여 각 군의 평균값을 산출하였다. 표면조도를 측정하기 위해 칫솔마모시험기(Toothbrush abrasive machine K236, Tokyo Machine Co., Japan)로 4개의 시편 표면에 200 rpm의 속도로 4000회의 칫솔질을 시행한 뒤 표면조도형상측정기(Form Tahrsurf series 2, Rank Taylor Hobson Co., England)를 이용해 표면조도를 측정하였다. α=0.05의 유의 수준에서 Kruskal-Wallis rank test와 Mann-Whitney U test를 사용하였다. 또한 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하여 각 군의 마모 양상을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 비커스 미세경도 측정 결과 Filtek Z350 flowable(3M ESPE, U.S.A), Palfique Estelite LV(Tokuyama Dental, Japan), Ultraseal XT plus(Ultradent, U.S.A) 순으로 높게 나타났으며 모든 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.0001). 2. 표면 조도 측정 결과, Ultraseal^(R), Estelite^(R), Z350^(R) 순으로 높게 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.116). 3. 마모되지 않은 표면과 마모가 일어난 표면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 전색제인 Ultraseal XT plus와 유동성 복합레진인 Palfique Estelite LV, 나노필러를 함유한 유동성 복합레진인 Filtek Z350 flowable이 서로 다른 마모 양상이 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 할 때, 유동성 복합 레진이 전색제에 비해 물성적 측면에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. This study was performed to compare the wear resistance of sealant and flowable resins for analyzing the effect of flowable resin as a sealant in preventive resin restorations. Specimens were made and Vicker's hardness number and surface roughness were measured. SEM observations of the polished and abraded surfaces were established. Kruskal-Wallis rank test and Mann-Whitney U test at the significant level of α=0.05 were used. The following results were obtained: 1. The microhardness was decreased among groups in following order: Z350(3M ESPE, U.S.A), Estelite(Tokuyama Dental, Japan) and Ultraseal(Ultradent, U.S.A). There were significant differences in all groups(p<0.0001). 2. The surface roughness was decreased among groups in following order: Ultraseal XT plus, Palfique Estelite LV and Filtek Z350 flowable, However, there is no statistically significant differences in roughness among Estellite, Z350 and Ultraseal at the significance level of α=0,05, with p=0.116 3. SEM observation of the unworn and worn surfaces revealed the qualitative differences in the wear appearance among groups. The results in this study indicate that flowable resin is better than sealant in aspect of physical properties.

본 연구가 VRSA에 대한 신규 항생물질 생산 균주를 얻기 위하여 실시하였다. 국내외에 채취한 토양시료에서 분리한 방선균 중, 임상분리 VRSA와 돌연변이 유발 VRSA에 대해 항균성을 나타내는 JY-24를 선별하였다. 선발 균주는 원통형의 포자 모양을 갖고 있으며, Bennett's 배지에 배양시 aerial mycelium color는 흰색을 나타냈으며, reverse side color는 대체로 노란색을 나타내었다. 항균물질 생산을 위한 탄소원으로는 fructose, mannose, 질소원으로는 yeast extract가 가장 우수하였으며 glucose의 첨가로 항균 물질 생산성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 최적 초기 pH는 pH 7로 나타났으며, 28 ℃, 37℃, 45 ℃의 온도에서 균이 성장하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 배양기간에 따라 항균물질 생산성을 조사한 결과, 임상분리 균주에 대해 5일 배양 시 가장 높았으나, 3일 배양과 7일 배양 시 동일한 생산성을 나타내 생산속도가 빠르며, 안정한 물질인 것이 파악되었다. 향후 균주동정 및 항균물질 정제에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. An antibiotic substance producing strain JY-24, effective to the VRSA (Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), was isolated from soil. The spore chain of JY-24 was cylindrical, and its sulface was smooth. The aerial mass color of the strain was white, and its reverse side color was yellow. The strain did not produce soluble pigment. For the production antibiotics, fructose, mannose and yeast extract were favorable as carbon and nitrogen sources. Optimal initial pH for the production of the antibiotic was pH 7. Accumulation of the antibiotic in the culture broth reached at maximal level after 5 days cultivation in Bennett's medium.

백색증(albinism)이란 신체 내 melanin 합성의 부분적,혹은 완전한 결핍에 의해 일어나는 질환이다. Melanin은 신체 내에서 머리카락,눈,피부 등에 분포하기 때문에 백색증 환자는 밝은 금발이나 갈색의 머리카락과 하얀 피부,붉거나 갈색의 홍채를 갖는 특징적인 외모를 지닌다. 백색증 환자는 변이된 유전자 및 임상적 특징에 따라 크게 전신성 백색증,안성 백색증,부분적 백색증으로 나뉘며 그 밖에 많은 하위군이 존재하고 그에 따른 치료법이나 치과적 주의사항도 달라진다. 본 증례는치아의 발육지연 여부평가를 주소로 내원한정신 지체가 동반된 전신성 백색증 환아로서 치아발거 등의 관혈적 시술및 보존수복,공간유지장치 등의 치료를 통해 양호한 결과를 보였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다. Albinism is a disease caused by partial or complete failure of melanin production in the skin,hair and eyes despite the presence of normal number,structure and distribution of melanocytes. Typical aspects are white-colored skin,blonde-brown hair,blue-brown irides and a prominent red reflex. Three main categories of albinism are oculocutaneous,ocular and localized albinism,and also they are divided into many subgroups. Therefore, appropriate treatment plan and dental direction would be differentiated according to them. This case report was about oral conditions and treatment of the oculocutaneous albinism patient with mental retardation who was refered due to developmental delay of teeth and treated with teeth extraction,restoration and space maintenance etc.

Fungus such as Candida albicans is a normal flora that is frequently found in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vaginal mucosa in a normal person. However, candida can cause opportunistic infection in an immune compromised host. Candidiasis has broad spectrum of disease from mucocutaneous infection to invasive or disseminated infection. But, it is rarely reported that candida is associaed with gastrointestinal tract disease in a healthy adult. The case of gastric ulcer associated with candida particularly in a health adult is reported with relevant literature.

Seven finite element models were constructed in mandible having single screw-type implant fixture connected to the second premolar-shaped superstructure, in order to evaluate how the length, diameter and platform shape of a screw-type fixture influence the stress in the supporting tissue around fixtures. The superstructure were made using UCLA abutment, and connected to the fixture with abutment screw. Each finite element model was varied in terms of length, diameter, and platform shape of the fixture according to the commercial fixture(3i Implant Innovations Inc, Palm Beach Gardens, FL33410, USA) while the superstructure and the mandible with a single fixture placed in it shared no difference in terms of appearance. In each model, 250N of vertical load was placed on the central pit of an occlusal plane and 250N of oblique load placed on the buccal cusp. The stress distribution in the supporting tissue and the other components was analysed using 2-dimensional Finite element analysis and the maximum stress in each reference area was compared. 1. Under lateral loading, the stress was larger in the larger in the abutment/fixture interface, and in the crestal bone, compared to the stress pattern under vertical loading. 2. The amount of stress at the superstructure was similar regardless of the length, diameter and platform shape of a fixture. 3. Around the longer fixture, the stress was decreased at the bone crest and subjacent cancellous bone and increased in the cancellous bone area apical to the fixture. 4. Around the wider fixture, the stress was decreased at the abutment/fixture interface, and the bone crest and increased in the cancellous bone area apical to the fixture. 5. Around the fixture having wider platform, less stress was resulted at the abutnent/fixture interface and the upper part of the cortical bone, compared to the fixture having standard platform. In short, the stress distribution of the supporting tissue was affected by length, diameter, and platform shape of a fixture, and the fixture which was larger in diameter and length could reduce the stress in the supporting tissues at the bone-fixture interface and bone crest area.
