Background: During beating heart surgery, the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measurement techniques may be influenced by several factors. This study was conducted to analyze the clinical agreement among stat CO mode (SCO), continuous CO mode (CCO), arterial pressure waveform-based CO estimation (APCO), and transesophageal Doppler ultrasound technique (UCCO) according to the vessel anastomosis sites. Methods: This study was prospectively performed in 25 patients who would be undergoing elective OPCAB. Hemodynamic variables were recorded at the following time points: during left anterior descending (LAD) anastomosis at 1 min and 5 min; during obtuse marginal (OM) anastomosis at 1 min and 5 min: and during right coronary artery (RCA) anastomosis at 1 min and 5 min. The variables measured including the SCO, CCO, APCO, and UCCO. Results: CO measurement techniques showed different correlations according to vessel anastomosis site. However, the percent error observed was higher than the value of 30% postulated by the criteria of Critchley and Critchley during all study periods for all CO measurement techniques. Conclusions: In the beating heart procedure, SCO, CCO and APCO showed different correlations according to the vessel anastomosis sites and did not agree with UCCO. CO values from the various measurement techniques should be interpreted with caution during OPCAB.

The objective of the study was to prepare self-microeulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) incorporating atorvastatin calcium and evaluate its properties and oral bioavailability. Solubility of atorvastatin in various vehicles was determined. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify the good self-emulsification region. The droplet size distributions of the resultant emulsions were determined by dynamic light scattering measurement. The mean droplet size of chosen formulation (20% ethyl oleate, 40% tween-80, 40% Carbitol(R)) was 23.4±1.3 nm. The SMEDDS incorporating atorvastatin calcium appeared to be associated with better performance in dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies, compared with raw atorvastatin calcium. In dissolution test, the release percentage of atorvastatin from SMEDDS mixture could rapidly reach more than 95% within 3 min. Oral AUC0→8(hr)values in SD rats was 1994±335 ng·hr/mL, which significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with raw atorvastatin calcium. The SMEDDS formulation was relatively stable when stored at 4˚C during 3 months. Our studies illustrated the potential use of SMEDDS for the delivery of hydrophobic compounds, such as atorvastatin, by the oral route.

이 연구는 트레드밀 운동과 키네시오 테이핑의 효과에 따른 폐활량의 변화를 알아보기 위해 26명의 비흡연자가 참가하였으며 키네시오 테이핑을 적용하지 않은 그룹과 키네시오 테이핑을 적용한 두 그룹으로 무작위로 배정하고 각 군들을 주 3회 6주간의 트레드밀 훈련을 실시하였다. 실험 전과 후, 스파이로미터를 사용하여 키네시오 테이핑의 적용 따른 폐활량 변화 효과를 측정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해보면 키네시오 테이핑을 적용 그룹에서 적용하지 않은 그룹에 비해 FVC, FEV1에서 유의한 증가를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 건강한 성인에서 키네시오 테이핑을 적용한 경우 키네시오 테이핑을 적용하지 않고 트레드밀 운동을 한 경우보다 폐활량의 향상에 효과적이라고 생각되어진다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of vital capacity(VC) according to the effects of kinesio taping with treadmill exercise. Twenty-six non-smokers were participated in this research and these subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. To measure the VC variation effects of kinesio taping, spirometer was used. The collected data were analyzed statistically by using a paired Mauchly test and repeated measure ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows; A group: treadmill with kinesio taping B group: treadmill without kinesio taping. Between A and B, there were significant differences. In the case of A group, there was 11.66% increase of VC, during 3 weeks experiment(p<.01). In the case of B group, there were significant differences, 3.35% increase of VC, during 3 weeks taping intervention(p<.01). After 6 weeks experiment, the improvement of VC shown a significant difference with intergroup (p<.05). From this result, it was revealed that treadmill exercise with kinesio taping was effective to improve VC to healthy adult than treadmill exercise without kinesio taping.

We investigated species, ecological pathway type, and mammal size using two eco-tunnels from trail-camera data. The analyses of the camera data showed that 12 mammalian species from 8 families of 5 orders used Jin-gogae eco-corridor (bridge type) and 14 mammalian species from 9 family 5 orders were found at Odaesan eco-corridor (tunnel type). At both eco-corridors, water deer used eco-corridor most frequently, and then secondly racoon dog did. The analyses by mammal size (small, medium, and large) showed that large-sized mammals were found in high ratio at the bridge type of the eco-corridors. In case of medium-sized mammals, utilization ratio of the tunnel-typed corridor was 42%, whereas that of the bridge-typed corridor was 24%, showing 1.8 times higher usage.

본 연구에서는 한국 및 중국산 감초(Glycyrrhiza uralensis), 그리고 우즈베키스탄산 감초(Glycyrrhiza glabra)를 대상으로 추출용매, 추출온도, 추출시간 등 추출조건별 추출물을 제조하고 이들 추출물들의 추출 수율과 항산화 활성을 비교하여 최적의 추출조건을 선정하였다. 항산화 활성 중 자유 라디칼(1,1-phenyl-2-pic-rylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성은 85% 에탄올로 60 ℃에서 6 h 동안 추출한 조건에서 한국 감초로부터 얻은 추출물이 가장 높은 활성(46.05%)을 나타내었다. 루미놀 발광법을 이용한 추출물들의 총 항산화능 측정 실험과 피부 광노화에 중요한 ¹O₂으로 유도된 세포막 손상에 대한 추출물들의 세포 보호 효과를 측정한 실험 모두에서도 위의 조건에서 가장 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 특히, 한국 감초는 τ₅₀이 116.4 min으로 비교 물질인(+)-α-tocopherol (28.5 min)보다 약 4 배나 높은 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었으며, 추출 수율은 18.75%로 우즈베키스탄 및 중국 감초보다 각각 1.2 배 및 2.5 배의 추출 수율을 나타내었다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과는 항산화 소재로 화장품에 응용하기 위하여 감초로부터 추출물을 얻기 위한 최적의 조건은 85% 에탄올로 60 ℃에서 6시간 동안 추출하는 것임을 보여주었다. In this work, licorice extracts were prepared using various extraction conditions such as extraction solvent, temperature, and time from Glycyrrhiza uralensis (G. uralensis) produced in Korea and China and Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) in Uzbekistan. The optimum extraction condition was selected from the extraction yields and antioxidative activities of extracts. Korea licorice extracts showed the highest free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scav-enging activity (46.05%) under the extraction condition of 85% ethanol at 60 ℃ for 6 hours. The prominent ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenging activity using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay and the cellular protective effect against ¹O₂ induced cellular membrane damage were also shown from the extracts obtained from the same condition. Especially, Korea G. uralensis extracts exhibited the higher prominent protective effect (τ₅₀ = 116.4 min) than (+)-α-tocopherol (τ₅₀ = 28.5 min) and the extraction yield of Korea licorice extract was 18.75%, which is 1.2 times and 2.5 times higher than that of Uzbekistan and China, respectively. These results indicate that the extraction condition of 85% ethanol at 60 ℃ for 6 hours is optimal to prepare licorice extracts, which can be applicable as antioxidative cosmetic materials.

스트론튬 루세네이트 (SrRuO₃)의 전극은 페로브스케이트 구조 유전체의 유전 특성을 향상시킬 수 있어 DRAM(Dynamic Random-Access Memory) 에 가장 적합한 전극 재료로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 장점들을 가지고 있는 스트론튬 루세네이트 (SrRuO₃) 박막이 투명 전극(Transparent Conductive Oxide; TCO) 으로의 사용 가능성을 확인해 보기 위해 연구하였다. 본 연구에서, 스트론튬 루세네이트(SrRuO₃) 박막을 유리 기판 위에 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 상온에서 증착 하였다. 박막의 두께에 따른 광학적 특성과 전기적 특성을 관찰하기 위하여 증착 시간을 5분과 50분으로 설정하여 실험을 진행하였다. 증착 시간이 증가할수록 박막 두께가 5nm에서 68nm로 증가하였고 광 투과율이 80%에서 40%로 감소하였다. 전기적 특성인 비저항은 박막 두께가 증가 하면서 1.99 mΩ·cm 에서 26.3 mΩ·cm 로 증가하였다. 결과적으로, 스트론튬 루세네이트(SrRuO₃) 박막을 유리 기판 위에 5분 증착 하였을 때, 약 80%이상의 투과율과 4.57eV의 밴드 갭, 그리고 1.99 mΩ·cm의 비저항을 보여주었다. The SrRuO₃ electrode can improve the dielectric properties of the perovskite structure. Thus, it is the most suitable electrode material for Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM). This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of the SrRuO₃ thin film as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). In this study, an SrRuO₃ thin film was deposited on the glass substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering method at room temperature. To observe the difference in optical and electrical properties as per the thin film thickness, the deposition times were set to 5 and 50 min. As the deposition time increased, the film thickness increased from 5 to 68 nm, the optical transmittance decreased from 80% to 40%, and the resistivity (an electrical property) increased from 1.99 to 26.3 mΩ·cm. Consequently, when the SrRuO₃ thin films were deposited on the glass substrates for 5 min, a transmittance of about 80% or more, a band gap of 4.57 eV, and a resistivity of 1.99 mΩ·cm were observed, thus verifying that an SrRuO₃ electrode can improve the dielectric properties of perovskite.

본 연구에서는 micro-contact printing을 통하여 니오븀 호일 표면 위에 균일한 에칭 pits를 형성하였다. 균일한 보호층을 형성하고자 전해연마의 효과를 확인하였으며, 기존의 O2 플라즈마 공정 없이 손쉽게 균일한 에칭 pits를 형성시킬 수 있는 조건을 확인하였다. 메탄올 혼합 전해질을 사용하여 10 min 동안 에칭을 진행한 결과 니오븀 호일 표면 위에 지름과 간격이 각각 10 μm와 5 μm로 잘 정렬된 에칭 pits를 관찰하였다. We describe the preparation of highly-ordered etching pits on the Nb foil through a micromachining. The effects of electro-chemical polishing on the formation of uniformly-patterned protective epoxy layer was investigated. Unlike the previous proc-ess using O2 plasma, well-ordered etched pits were prepared without any dry processes. As a result, the Nb foil with the well-ordered pits of 10 μm × 5 μm could be obtained by electrochemical etching in methanolic electrolytes for 10 min.

Objective: The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the effects of the secondary task during simulated driving using the variable indicating control of vehicle. Background: There are so many researches for simulated driving and performance. For instance, some researches show that the effects of cell phone conversations on simulated driving. Cell phone conversations impaired explicit recognition memory. Method: Participants included 50s taxi drivers; 15 males and 15 females. All subjects were instructed to keep a distance (30m) from the car ahead and a constant speed (80km/hr or 100km/hr). Sending text message (STM) and Searching navigation (SN) were selected as the secondary task. Experiment consisted of rest for 3min., driving alone for 1min. and driving with secondary task for 1 min.. We were analyzed anterior-posterior coefficient of variation (APCV) and medial-lateral coefficient of variation (MLCV). Results: APCV was increased by 175.4% in STM and 223.8% in SN at 80km/hr. MLCV was increased by 242.3% in STM and 323.4% in SN at 100km/hr. There was no significant difference between genders. Conclusion: Consequently, performing secondary task during driving impaired the control of vehicle.

Free Paper Presentation : OS-111 ; The Effects of Dexmedetomidine for Sleep in Critically Ill Patients: Pilot Study

Background: Many critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) experience sleep disruption and delirium. For the sedation of these patients, dexmedetomidine is one of commonly recommended sedatives because of its pharmacokinetic merit. This pilot study was undertaken to identify the effects of dexmedetomidine for sleep and delirium in critically ill patients. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in medical ICU of a tertiary referral hospital. Dexmedetomidine was administered with the maintenance dose of 0.4-0.7μg/kg/hr and adjusted by Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale score of 0 to -2. Portable polysomnography was performed in the ICU over 24 hour to assess the quantity and quality of sleep. The confusion assessment method for ICU was used for detection of delirium. Results: Total 9 patients were enrolled. Median age was 77.0 (Range: 61-90) and 3 patients experienced delirium. Median total sleep time was 283 (IQR: 56-739) min. The majority of sleep was stage 1 (median 208 [IQR: 56-356] min) and 2 (median 75 [IQR: 7-396] min) with absent REM and stage 3 sleep. The dose of dexmedetomidine was not associated with total sleep time, stage 1 and stage 2 sleep (all P>0.05). However, the patients with delirium was administered higher dose of dexmedetomidine than ones without delirium (0.67μg/kg/hr vs 0.33μg/kg/hr, P=0.006). Conclusions: Although proper sedation was met with dexmedetomidine, the quantity and quality of sleep in critically ill patients were poor. Further study is required for the promotion of good sleep and the prevention of delirium in ICU patients.
