姜昌鎬,李鎭伊,柳晟基,朴俊哲 慶尙大學校生産技術硏究所 1999 生産技術硏究所論文集 Vol.15 No.-

This study deals with effects of surface treatment on the bending fatigue strength of SCM420 spur gears. We manufactured gears using manufacture processes that are currently used in most gears manufacturing companies, we applied heat-treatment, and then we applied shot peening. In addition, we investigated the effect these surface-treatments had on hardened layer and compression residual stress in the risk section of the teeth. The fatigue test at a constant stress amplitude is performed by using an electrohydraulic serve-controlled pulsating tester. The S-N curves are obtained and illustrated. We investigated the effect of surface-treatment on fatigue strength and the position of crack of gear teeth.

Background: The management of vertiginous patients is a great challenge to emergency physicians. We evaluated the diagnostic value of a diffusion-weighted image(DWI) in differentiating central vertigo from the peripheral vertigo in patients who presented no neurological symptoms other than risk factors for stroke. Methods: From March 2000 to February 2001, we retrospectively analyzed the cases of 68 patients who visited the emergency department with symptoms of isolated vertigo and who had risk factors for stroke. DWIs, computed tomograms(CT), and medical records were reviewed, and the final diagnose, the DWIs and the CT readings, the risk factors for stroke, and the time it took waiting for a DWI or CT scan were analyzed. Results: Of the 68 patients, 21(30.8%) had central vertigo: 15 vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attacks(VB-TIA), 4 brain stem infarctions, 1 cerebellar infarction, and 1 cerebellopeduncular infarction. The DWI showed a 28.6% sensitivity, a 97.9% specificity, and an 85.7% positive predictive value in diagnosing central vertigo. It also had a 100% sensitivity in detecting infarctions. Conclusion: A DWI had a comparable sensitivity to MRI in detecting central vertigo and small, but potentially, lethal infarctions in our patient population. We recommend clinical application of DWI in the emergency department evaluation of isolated vertigo patients with risk factors for stroke.

목적 당대사의 조절 상태에 따른 생체 변화를 분자 수준에서 이해하고자 식이 조건을 달리한 정상 백서와 화학적으로 유도된 당뇨병 백서의 간조직에서 혈당수준과 인슐린치료 정도에 따라 나타나는 글루코키나제 활성도 및 유전자 발현을 분석하였다. 방법 스트렙토조토신 정맥투여 후 당뇨병의 유발을 확인하고, 인슐린을 1일 3회 3일간 복강내로 투여하여 상태를 안정시킨 후, 인슐린 투여군은 인슐린 투여 6시간이내에 그리고 인슐린 비투여군은 24시간 후 단두하여 채혈하고 복강을 열어 간조직을 채취하였다. 채취한 간조직에서 글루코키나제 활성도는 인산화된 포도당에서 NADH의 형성을 형광분광계로 측정하였으며, 글루코키나제 유전자 mRNA발현은 Northern 분석법을 이용하였다. 성적 정상 백서에서 공복상태와 식이를 섭취한 경우에 간조직의 글루코키나제 효소의 활성은 차이가 없었으나, 글루코키나제 유전자 mRNA 발현은 증가되었다. 당뇨병이 유발된 백서의 간조직에서 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현은 정상 백서에 비하여 낮았다. 인슐린 투쳐 후 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가되었고, 특히 혈당이 정상화된 경우에서 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가도었다. 결론 인슐린에 의한 간조직에서 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA을 증가를 볼수 있었다. 당뇨병 백서에서 인슐린 투여 후에 혈당조절이 안된 경우 간조직의 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가가 없는 것으로 보아 글루코키나제 mRNA의 발현에는 인슐린 이외의 다른 요소가 관여할 것으로 생각된다. The liver-specific hexokinase isoenzyme, referred to as glucokinase, is thought to play a key reglulatory role in hepatic glucose metabolism. The glucokinase gene is, therefore, of interest both because of its tissue-specific expression and because of the several regulatory processes that can be analyzed. The level of hepatic glucokinase activity appears to be determined essentially by regulation of the rate of enzyme synthesis, with insulin playing a leading role as an inducer. We investigated the role of insulin for the induction of glucokinase in the liver of diabetic rats. Experimental diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin 7 days before the experiment. Regular insulin was given by three days intraperitoneal injection at 8-h interval. The glucokinase mRNA in the liver was estimated by Nothern blot assay, as well as by fluorometric enzyme activity assay. Glucokinase activity was not reduced in the liver of normal fasting rats as compared to normal fed rats. And glucokinase activity was reduced in the liver of diabetic rats as compared to normal rats. In diabetic rats treated with insulin, glucokinase enzyme activity were increased. But glucokinase mRNA expression was only increased in normoglycemic diabetic rat with treated with insulin as compared to hyperglycemic rat. These data indicate that insulin stimulates hepatic glucokinase enzyme activity and mRNA expression. But other hormonal or metabolic factors may be contribute to regulation of glucokinase mRNA expression.

일반적으로 구조물은 외부의 정적 및 동적 하중과 외부환경으로 인하여 피로균열과 부식이 발생하며, 이것은 구조물의 변형을 유발하여 결국 파단으로 이어지기 때문에 균열과 부식의 검출 및 평가와 함께 구조물의 변형에 의한 진동, 변위 기울기와 같은 거동을 감시하는 것도 매우 중요하다. 이에 레이저 센서 시스템을 이용하여 이러한 거동을 측정하여 이상 유무를 모니터링할 수 있는 구조물 안전감시 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 2차원으로 배열한 광전센서를 이용하여 구조물의 변형에 의해 유발된 광궤적의 변화를 감시하며 또한 데이터를 취득하고 신호처리 할 수 있는 운용 프로그램도 갖추고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발한 안전 진단 시스템의 필드 적용에 앞서 실험실에서의 몇 가지 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 검증하였다. A Safety Monitoring System using a laser and 2-D arrayed photo sensors is developed. To monitor of the deformation and small rotation of structure the developed optical system using 2-D photo sensor array was used to detect the variation of optical orbit of laser which was induced by deformation of the structure. Also, an operating program to manage the system and an algorithm for the data acquisition and the database are introduced. In this study, we demonstrated the capabilities of this system by laboratory experiments before applying the system to the field.

In this study, vertical acceleration of center of mass was observed along normal gait phases in 9 healthy male volunteers (aged 25.7±2.18). The developed wireless accelerometric device was attached on the intervertebral space between L3 and L4 using a semi-elastic waist belt. A three-dimensional motion analysis system, synchronized with the accelerometry, was used for detecting gait phases. There was no significant correlation between the body weight and the acceleration. The first peak curve covered loading response phase. The second downward peak point was matched accurately with the opposite toe-off. In mid-stance and terminal stance, the acceleration curve highly resembled the vertical ground reaction force curve. There was no significant difference in timing between the final upward peak point and the initial contact. Therefore, the developed accelerometry system would be helpful in determining determine temporal gait patterns in patients with gait disorders.

Where is the Oriental martial arts going in these days? Can it be separated with sports or physical education to get its own region? To get a solution from these questions, there are three parts of studies of the possible trends on Korean martial arts such as the actual conditions on educating coach of martial arts, the research about thesis of martial arts, and the actual conditions of related journals. For the conclusion, the following five solutions could be shown. At first, there should be a general modification on processing of educating the martial arts coach. 1. Expanding the items of martial arts can raise the level of coach's educating quality based on the curriculum, the contents, and the variety programs. 2. Martial arts sports, ordinary martial arts, and traditional martial arts must be unifiable and simple to develope its problems. 3. the importance of traditional martial arts and the qualified test of its coach must have a mutual preservation and maintenance through being related with each other between martial arts' each items. Second, it's necessary to train the martial arts with required elements of the recognition, the theory, the existence and the philosophy. Third, it's necessary to take shape of pyramidical structure through the long term policy of training martial arts. Forth, variety events of martial arts should be held regularly from the government. At last, it's necessary to expand the martial arts region and make variety activities from related academies or institutes.

Galic is the fresh or dehydrated bulb obtained from Allium scorodorpasum var. viviparum Regel, a genus of the lily family. Garlic has been widely used as oriental medicine having various health benefits, such as cardiovascular, antineoplastic, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory. The average daily intake in western people is 4g/day of fresh garlic whereas it in Koreans 5.8g/day. However, consumption of excessive amount of raw garlic can cause gastrointestinal disease, dermatitis, asthma, allergic reaction, anticoagulant action, breath and body odor. Additionally, its antithrombotic properties prompt patients to stop taking garlic 14 days before having surgery or dental work. Therefore, we reviewed the safety of garlic on the basis of literatures published and then further studies on the safe amount of garlic consumption should be considered.

Natural bone-mimicking nanoporeincorporated hydroxyapatite scaffolds for enhanced bone tissue regeneration

Chansong Kim,Jin Woong Lee,허준혁,Cheolhyun Park,Dai-Hwan Kim,Gyu Sung Yi1,Ho Chang Kang,Hyun Suk Jung,Hyunjung Shin,Jung Heon Lee 한국생체재료학회 2022 생체재료학회지 Vol.26 No.1

Background: A considerable number of studies has been carried out to develop alloplastic bone graft materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP) that mimic the hierarchical structure of natural bones with multiple levels of pores: macro-, micro-, and nanopores. Although nanopores are known to play many essential roles in natural bones, only a few studies have focused on HAPs containing them; none of those studies investigated the functions of nanopores in biological systems. Method: We developed a simple yet powerful method to introduce nanopores into alloplastic HAP bone graft materials in large quantities by simply pressing HAP nanoparticles and sintering them at a low temperature. Results: The size of nanopores in HAP scaffolds can be controlled between 16.5 and 30.2 nm by changing the sintering temperature. When nanopores with a size of ~ 30.2 nm, similar to that of nanopores in natural bones, are introduced into HAP scaffolds, the mechanical strength and cell proliferation and differentiation rates are significantly increased. The developed HAP scaffolds containing nanopores (SNPs) are biocompatible, with negligible erythema and inflammatory reactions. In addition, they enhance the bone regeneration when are implanted into a rabbit model. Furthermore, the bone regeneration efficiency of the HAP-based SNP is better than that of a commercially available bone graft material. Conclusion: Nanopores of HAP scaffolds are very important for improving the bone regeneration efficiency and may be one of the key factors to consider in designing highly efficient next-generation alloplastic bone graft materials.

Stable Blue Phosphorescence Iridium(III) Cyclometalated Complexes Prompted by Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond in Ancillary Ligand

Yi, Seungjun,Kim, Jin-Hyoung,Cho, Yang-Jin,Lee, Jiwon,Choi, Tae-Sup,Cho, Dae Won,Pac, Chyongjin,Han, Won-Sik,Son, Ho-Jin,Kang, Sang Ook American Chemical Society 2016 Inorganic Chemistry Vol.55 No.7

<P>Improvement of the stability of blue phosphorescent dopant material is one of the key factors for real application of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this study, we found that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in an ancillary ligand from a heteroleptic Ir(III) complex can play an important role in the stability of blue phosphorescence. To rationalize the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, a series of Ir(III) complexes is designed and prepared: Ir(dfppy)(2)(pic-OH) (1a), Ir(dfppy)(2)-(pic-OMe) (1b), Ir(ppy)(2)(pic-OH) (2a), and Ir(ppy)(2)(pic-OMe) (2b). The emission lifetime of Ir(dfppy)(2)(pic-OH) (1a) (tau(em) = 3.19 mu s) in dichloromethane solution was found to be significantly longer than that of Ir(dfppy)(2)(pic-OMe) (1b) (tau(em) = 0.94 mu s), because of a substantial difference in the nonradiative decay rate (k(nr) = 0.28 x 10(5) s(-1) for (1a) vs 2.99 X 10(5) s(-1) for (1b)). These results were attributed to the intramolecular OH center dot center dot center dot O=C hydrogen bond of the 3-hydroxy-picolinato ligand. Finally, device lifetime was significantly improved when 1a was used as the dopant compared to FIrpic, a well-known blue dopant. Device III (1a as dopant) achieved an operational lifetime of 34.3 h for an initial luminance of 400 nits compared to that of device IV (FIrpic as dopant), a value of 20.1 h, indicating that the intramolecular hydrogen bond in ancillary ligand is playing an important role in device stability.</P>
