Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an anti-oxidant enzyme normally upregulated in response to oxidant injury. Here we determined the role of HO-1 in podocyte apoptosis in glomeruli of streptozotocin-treated rats and in immortalized mouse podocytes cultured in media containing normal or high glucose. HO-1 expression, its activity, the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 protein, and active caspase-3 fragments were all significantly higher in isolated glomeruli of diabetic rats and in high glucose–treated podocytes. These increases were inhibited by zinc protoporphyrin treatment of the rats or by HO-1 siRNA treatment of the podocytes in culture. The number of apoptotic cells was also significantly increased in the glomeruli of diabetic rats and in high glucose–treated podocytes. Inhibition of HO-1 accentuated the increase in apoptotic cells both in vivo and in vitro. Our findings suggest that HO-1 expression protects against podocyte apoptosis under diabetic conditions.

李載亨,李虎烈,朴鏞冠,申成浩,申載爀,朴光子 성균관대학교 1998 학술회의지원논문목록집 Vol.1998 No.-

In this paper, structural optical and electrical properties of Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S thin films prepared by coevaporation method were studied. Also, effects of ZnS mole ratio(x) to CdS on properties of thin film Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S/CdTe solar cells were investigated. When the ZnS mole ratio was less than 0.85, the crystal structure of Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S films was hexagonal with the c axis aligned perpendicular to the substrate. For x>0.85, however, the Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S films were grown with cubic zincblende structire. As the ZnS mole ratio increased the lattice constant of Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S films rapidly increased with ZnS mole ratio. The open circuit voltage of Cd₁xZnxS/CdTe solar cells increased with x due to reducing of the electron affinity difference between Cd₁xZnxS and CdTe films. However, the increase of series resistance due to the high resistivity of Cd_(1-x)Zn_(x)S films results on reducing conversion efficiency.

The cable-stayed bridges are composed of cables, towers and girders. when the cable-stayed bridges are loaded, the whole structure display very complex behavior due to excessive cable deflection. Eventhough the material in the members of a cable-stayed bridge structure behaviors in a linear elastic manner. the overall load-displacement relationship for the structure will be nonlinear. The nonlinear behavior is a result of: due to the sag caused by their own dead weight and the nonlinear axial and bending force-deformation relationships for the bend members. In the construction stage analysis, some technical approaches and structure safety are needed to stimulate numerically the complicated changes of structural system during construction. In this study static and construction stage analysis is performed and compared. Static and construction stage analysis on unsymmetric Cable-stayed bridge is performed and linear and nonlinear analysis is performed to evaluate the structure characteristics. After Static analysis of final construction stage was performed, construction stage analysis was performed.

In this paper reliability analysis using stochastic finite element method is formulated, and with its result reliability analysis is accomplished. A displacement and member force of frame structure is acquired in SFEMP(Stochastic Finite Element Method Program) using perturbation method, and then DMCSP(Direct Monte Carlo Simulation Program) is used to verify and compare previous results. With the previous two results, approximate reliability analyses of the MFOSM(Mean First Order Second Moment), AFOSM(Advanced First Order Second Moment), and MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation) including a relatively simple limit state function have accomplished and base of a safety estimate could be acquired. Finally, When the reliability analysis of a complicated structure using stochastic finite element method is accomplished, time is efficiently reduced, and the safety of a structure can be easily evaluated. Hence SFEMP may be considered an efficient tool for evaluating the structural safety and reliability of frame structure.

ADM을 利用한 Tracking ADC設計

申宰浩 明知大學校 産業技術硏究所 1983 産業技術硏究所論文集 Vol.2 No.-

Tracking method, one of the simplest analog-to-digital Conversters (ADC), is redesigned using adaptive delta modulation(ADM). That ADC shows the improvement in various kinds of conversion errors, particularly in the slope overload error, therefore that shows the capability to expand the dynamic range(DR) which is the worst error in tracking method. Further study area in this field is another tracking method using asynchronous DM.

LaCrO_(3) thick film sensors were fabricated on an alumina substrate by screen printing method. The sensitivities for gases were investigated by varying the heat treatment temperatures of the films. The sensitivities of LaCrO_(3) thick film for Gallo and NH_(3) gases were better than for CO and NO gases. The best condition of heat treatment was 450℃ and the optimal operating temperature of LaCrO_(3) thick film for the highest sensitivity was 400℃. Sensitivities of LaCrO_(3) thick films about at 3000ppm for C_(4)H_(10) and NH_(3) gases were 85% and 95%, respectively.

The Primary goal of this research is to verify the usefulness of Aster Koraiensis as a garden plant and to figure out the appropriate planting space which would bring the most effective results in terms of scenery and cost. For these purpose, we gathered the saplings of the wild grown Aster koraiensis in August and maintained them for winter. The following spring, we planted them in flat bare land with 3 different panting spaces of 50 x 50Cm, 40x30Cm, 30x30Cm. 2nd years after planting, we observed and compared the 3 different columns on the status of growth, number and size of leaves and conditions of flowering. The results are as follows : The number of leaves, stalks and roots of individual plants were increased by the wider planting density. But the ratio of leaf area per unit area appeared to be the highest in the 40X30cm sector which showed 366.9%, while the 50x50cm column showed 294.1% and 360.4% in the 30X30cm column. As for the conditions of flowering, such as the size of flowers, the number of petals per blossom and the length of flowerstalks, the best results were observed in the 50x50cm column. On the other hand, the 40x30cm column yielded the largest number of blossoms per unit area. On the basis of these results, we could induce that the 30x30cm column had already passed the peak point for the best scenery within 2 years after planting, while the 50x50cm column had not yet reached the peak point. Naturally, this leads to the conclusion that the 40x40cm planting space could be most effective when we assume the peak period for scenery to be 2nd years after planting. According to our investigation, the blooming period of Aster Koraiensis in the central region of the Korean peninsular lasts about 70 days from 15th June to 25th August. And the peak blooming time is 30 days from 5th July to 5th August. On the basis of these findings, we can reach the final conclusion that Aster Koraiensis has many merits and is useful as ornamental flavor of garden.

A method of analyzing load-carrying ropeways is suggested in this study. Compared to to the ropeways for passengers whose tension at the one end of the main rope is given, load-carrying ropeways require different treatment because their main ropes are fixed at both ends. This difference makes the problem of analyzing load-carrying ropeways a statically indeterminate one and some iteraive solution technique seems to be inevitable. But, it is shown that this statically indeterminate problem can conceptually be reduced to a problem of solving a nonlinear algebraic equation in this study, and some numerical method such as Newton-Ropshon method can be applied successfully to solve the problem. Also, some example ropeways are analyzed after the proposed solution technique and the results are discussed.

A major defective welding pattern in the steel bridges is identified as the lack of welding area due to the insufficient welding penetration. In this study is fatigue behavior and fatigue life of steel bridge under flange of weld insufficient of butt weld joint. Fatigue behavior and fatigue life test is minor's law and fracture analysis and nowaday, finite element method is used to many times. By considering the welding defect in the above, structural analysis is conducted to evaluate butt weld joint influence due to welding defect on the safety of steel bridges. The results indicate that, due to the insufficient welding penetration, the stress obtained in the analysis is over the allowable fatigue stress level, and its influence on safety of the bridges is significant
