To response evaluation of high power light emitting diodes (HPLEDs) as potential attractants to the Spodoptera exigua adults, we investigated the attractiveness of specific wavelength, illuminance intensity and light-exposure time, and compared them to the fluorescent. The all light treatments with the 40 lux intensity attracted the significantly highest number of S. exigua. The optimal light-exposure time exhibited the highest attraction rate at the 60 min. When the attraction and repellent rate in the optimal conditions to the S. exigua was surveyed, the white HPLED exhibited the highest attraction rate (91.1%), whereas the red HPLED exhibited the most repellent rate (33.3%). When evatuated of illuminance efficiency with fluorescent as control, white and red HPLED were found to be 9.14 and 10.34 times more efficient than fluorescent. These data clearly show that both the 40 lux intensity and the 60 min light-exposure time by using the white HPLED was the most suitable for attraction of the S. exigua.

To evaluate high-power light-emitting diodes (HPLEDs) as potential attractants for Spodoptera exigua adults, attractiveness of specific wavelengths, illuminance intensity, and light-exposure times were investigated and compared to that of fluorescent light. The white light (40 lux treatment) attracted significantly more S. exigua than other attractants. The optimal light-exposure time, based on the highest attraction rate, was 60 min. Evaluation of attraction and repellent rates under optimal conditions showed the white HPLED had the highest attraction rate (91.1%), and the red HPLED had the highest repellence rate (33.3%). Based on relative efficiency values, the white HPLED was about 9.14 times as efficient as the fluorescent light. These data clearly showed that S. exigua showed the greatest attraction to the white HPLED at 40 lux intensity and 60 min light-exposure time.

Soil contamination with arsenic and heavy metals is a worldwide problem. Main objective of this research was to evaluated effects of reducing heavy metal leaching under reduced soil condition amended with industrial by-products. The contaminated soil was amended with 3% (w/w) of limestone (Ls), steel slag (SS) and acid mine drainage sludge (AMDS). Synthetic acid rain ($H_2SO_4:HNO_3=6:4$, pH 5.5 fixed) was used for feeding solution with flow rate of $0.78{\sim}0.88mL\;min^{-1}$. Results showed that similar pH and EC of leachate was observed in all treatments regardless of applied industrial by-products. However, arsenic concentration of leachate increased when industrial by-products were mixed. Meanwhile, concentration of heavy metal in the leachate decreased from 11.3 to 4.59 mg for Cd, from 92.3 to 7.93 mg for Pb, and from 11,716 to 1,788 mg for Zn via immobilization in soil with AMDS amended, respectively. Overall, application of industrial by-products can be an environmentally-friendly way to remediate soil and(or) leachate contaminated with metal(loid)s in metal mine site.

Backgrounds: One of the main problems conditioning the outcome of islet transplantation is the ability to separate a sufficient number of viable islets with preserved function. Islet purification is critically affected by all of the isolation stages. Thus, it is necessary to set up the standard isolation method that islets are separate well from acinar without compromising islet yield and viability. Methods: Twenty three adult mongrel dogs were used for the experiment of total pancreatectomy with islet isolation. The islets were properly isolated by a modified Recordi method. The obtained islets were further purified by centrifugation on discontinuous gradients using cell separation system (Model 2991, Cobe, Lakewood Colo). We evaluated islet number (islet equivalent number, 150 um equivalents/kg of recipient body weight, IEq/kg), purity, cell volume, viabilty, recovery rate, and comparison of outcome according to the isolation conditions. Results: 1) The mean of islet numbers before purification were 13543±9431Eq/kg, digestion times were 13.8±2.6 min., digestion temperature was 37.4±0.2℃, purity was 59.7?.0%, viability was 90.0±2.1%, cell volume was 4.7±1.1 mL, islet number after purification were 4064±361 IEq/kg, and recovery rate was 29±2.9%. 2) Isolated islet numbers were different according to the degree of pancreas distension with collagenase, digestion temperature, and digestion time. 3) The best conditions for islet isolation were above 37.5℃ in temperature at recirculation of collagenase, within 12 min in digestion time and well distended pancreas with collagenase. 4) According to multiple regression adjusted by variable factors, the degree of pancreas distension with collagenase and digestion time were independently associated factors for successful islet isolation. Conclusions: In this study, we concluded that the degree of pancreas distension with collagenase and digestion time were independent factors for successful islet isolation and the best conditions for islet isolation were above 37.5℃ in temperature at recirculation of collagenase, within 12 min in digestion time and well distended pancreas with collagenase.

Hwang, Sung Jin,Oh, Dong Joon,Jung, Phill Gu,Lee, Sang Min,Go, Jeung Sang,Kim, Joon-Ho,Hwang, Kyu-Youn,Ko, Jong Soo IOP 2009 JOURNAL OF MICROMECHANICS AND MICROENGINEERING - Vol.19 No.9

<P>This paper presents a new polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) dry-etching method that uses microwave plasma. The applicability of the method for fabricating microstructures and removing residual PDMS is also verified. The etch rate of PDMS was dominantly influenced by the gas flux ratio of CF<SUB>4</SUB>/O<SUB>2</SUB> and the microwave power. While the PDMS etch rate increased as the flux ratio of CF<SUB>4</SUB> was increased, the etch rate decreased as the flux ratio of O<SUB>2</SUB> was increased. The maximum etch rate of 4.31 µm min<SUP>−1</SUP> was achieved when mixing oxygen (O<SUB>2</SUB>) and tetrafluoromethane (CF<SUB>4</SUB>) at a 1:2 ratio at 800 W power. The PDMS etch rate almost linearly increased with the microwave power. The ratio of the vertical etch rate to the lateral etch rate was in a range of 1.14–1.64 and varied with the gas fluxes. In consideration of potential applications of the proposed PDMS etching method, array-type PDMS microwells and network-type microprotrusion structures were fabricated. The contact angle was dramatically increased from 104° (non-etched PDMS surface) to 148° (etched PDMS surface) and the surface was thereby modified to be superhydrophobic. In addition, a thin PDMS skin that blocked holes and PDMS residues affixed in nickel microstructures was successively removed.</P>

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign pathologic condition of bone and causes facial deformities as well as functional problems. We have managed 32 craniofacial fibrous dysplasia form March 1989 to December 1993. The most common age distribution of surgery was second decade(34%) and third decade(53%). In our patients, the desease process usually begins in childhood and progresses throughout puberty and adolescence. Treatment was aimed at preventing and correcting functional problems and achieving normal facial aesthetics. The reconstruction with other combined surgery, i.e., mandibular and maxillary osteotomies, reduction malar plasty, malar augmentation and orbit, nasal reconstruction with bone graft. Postoperative results were satisfactory in most cases. In some patients, repeated contouring(16%) surgery might produce less morbidity than a single massive resection. In evaluating the extent of the lesion, computerized tomography prooved to be a good diagnostic tool. Aethetically and functionally satisfactory surgical results were achieved by bone shaving in combination with reconstructive surgery.

Background: Adenosine interacts with A1 receptors present on the extracellular surface of cardiac cells, activating K+channels in a fashion. It produces coronary vasodilatation and AV nodal block. The half-time is one to six second and has ultra-short action. In ischemic heart disease, fractional flow reserve(FFR) can be achieved safely with intravenous adenosine infusions at a rate of 150㎍/kg/min which cause maximal coronary hyperemia. Purpose: We investigated the patients who have had ischemic heart disease(n=8). After adenosine intravenous administration(150㎍/kg/min), the effect cause maximal hyperemia of coronary artery. During peak maximal hyperemia, we reported clinical findings, coronary hemodynamics and electrocardiogram findings. Methods: After diagnostic coronary angiography and left ventriculography, catheter was advanced into the ostium of coronary artery. We investigated coronary hemodynamics such as systolic coronary artery pressure, diastolic coronary artery pressure, mean coronary artery pressure and heart rate. To assess the use of adenosine for determination of fractional flow reserve, hemodynamics and electrocardiogram were measured at basal state and during peak maximal hyperemia. Results: Symptoms developed 1.5-2 minute after adenosine intravenous administration and each symptom disappeared 2-2.5 minute after adenosine administration. Two patients represented asymptomatic appearance and six patients complained of flushing, chest pain, palpitation and headache. In eight patients with ischemic heart disease, 1.5 minute after venous administration of 150㎍/kg/min of adenosine, coronary artery pressure decreased and heart rate increased significantly. Conduction abnormalities after administration of 150㎍/kg/min of adenosine were transient 2nd degree AV block 2 cases(25%). Conclusions: Adenosine is a potent ultra short-acting vasodilator. Although coronary artery pressure decreased and heart rate increased and mild cardiovascular symptoms occurred after continuous infusion of 150㎍/kg/min of adenosine, it is useful as an agent for determination of fractional flow reserve.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major clinical problem and the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Coronary artery calcifi cation (CAC) is a potential mechanism that explains the association between renal function and cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to evaluate the association between renal function and CAC in apparently healthy Korean subjects. Methods: In 23,617 participants in the health screening program in Kangbuk Samsung Hospital health screening program from January 2010 to December 2011, estimated glomerular fi ltration rate (eGFR) was assessed by Cockcroft-Gault equation. Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) was measured by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). Subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the CKD Staging system with eGFR grade; stage 1: eGFR = 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, stage 2: eGFR 60-89 mL/ min/1.73 m2, stage 3: eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results: Mean age of the participants was 41.4 years, and mean eGFR was 103.6±21.7 mL/min/1.73 m2. Hypertension and diabetes were noted in 43.7% and 5.5% of the participants, respectively. eGFR showed weakly negative but signifi cant association with CACS in bivariate correlation analysis (r=-0.076, p<0.01). Mean CACS signifi cantly increased from CKD stage 1 to 3. The proportion of subjects who had CAC signifi cantly increased from CKD stage 1 to 3. Although odds ratio for CAC signifi cantly increased from stage 1 to 3 after adjustment for confounding factors, this signifi cance was inversed when age was included in the model. Age was the strongest factor that affects CAC. Conclusions: This study performed in young Korean subjects with relatively normal renal function, age was the mostly strongest effector on the association between eGFR and the degree of CAC.
