The development of reliable methods to diagnose acute kidney injury is essential to allow the adoption of early therapeutic interventions and evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the fact that kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) expression levels in kidneys are markedly upregulated early after a damage event, here we developed a noninvasive KIM- 1-based molecular imaging technique to detect kidney injury. First, we took advantage of a phage-display platform to select small peptides demonstrating a specific high binding affinity to KIM-1. The promising candidate was conjugated with fluorescent probes, and its imaging potential was validated in vitro and in vivo. This peptide, with the sequence CNRRRA, not only showed a high imaging potential in vitro, allowing a strong detection of KIM-1 expressing cells by microscopy and flow cytometry but also generated a strong kidney-specific signal in live-imaging in vivo experiments in the context of a drug-induced kidney-injury mouse model. Our data overall suggest that the CNRRRA peptide is a promising probe to use in the context of in vivo imaging for the detection of KIM-1 overexpression in damaged kidneys.

The objective of this study was to understand the conservation of gene resources and provide information for mass selection of winter bud characters among the selected populations of Kalopanax septemlobus Koidz using analysis of variance(ANOVA) tests. The obtained results are shown below; 1. Ten populations of K. septemlobus were selected for the study of the variation of winter bud characters in Korea. The results of the analysis of variance(ANOVA) tests shows that there were statistically significant differences in all of the winter bud characters among those populations. 2. Correlation analysis shows that width between Height and DBH(Diameter at breast height) characters have negative relationship with all of the characters, as ABL(Apical branch length), ABW(Apical branch width), AWBL(Apical branch winter bud length), AWBW(Apical branch winter bud width), ABT(Apical branch No. of thorns), ABLB(Apical branch No. of lateral bud) and LBL(Lateral branch length), LBW(Lateral branch width), LBT(Lateral branch No. of thorns), LBLB(Lateral branch No. of lateral bud). 3. The result of principal component analysis(PCA) for winter buds showed that the first principal components(PC s) to the fourth principal component explains about 78% of the total variation. The first principal component(PC) was correlated with AWBW, LWBW, and LBL and the ratio of ABL/ABW and LBL/LBW out of 16 winter bud characters. The second principal component correlated with ABL, ABW, ABLB, LWBL(Lateral branch winter bud length), and LBW and the ratio of AWBL/AWBW. The third principal component correlated with ABL, ABW, LWBL, LBL, and the ratio of LBL/LBW. The fourth principal component correlated with LBL and the ratio of LWBL/LWBW(Lateral branch winter bud width), LBL/LBW. Therefore, these characters were important to analysis of the variation for winter bud characters among selected populations of K. septemlobus in Korea. 4. Cluster analysis using the average linkage method based on 10 selected populations for the 16 winter bud characters of K. septemlobus in Korea showed a clustering into two groups by level of distance 1.1(Fig. 3). As can be seen in Fig. 3, Group I consisted of three areas(Mt. Sori, Mt. Balwang and Mt. Worak) and Group Ⅱ contisted of seven areas(Suwon, Mt. Chuwang, Mt. Kyeryong, Mt. Kaji, Mt. Jiri, Muan, and Mt. Halla). The result of cluster analysis for winter bud characters corresponded well with principal component analysis, as is shown in Fig. 2.

Biodegradable retinal fixation devices obtain mechnical fixation of the retina with desirable chorioretinal scarring and with the potential for local, sustained release of antimetabolites and steroids to inhibit proliferative vitreoretinopathy. We manufactured a biodegradable retinal tack with barb that was designed in order to prevent intrusion from implantation of retinal tacks. This study was carried to evaluate the efficacy for retinal fixation and the capability for sustained release of drugs with a newly designed biodegradable retinal tack Biodegradable retinal tacks were made of polymers of glycolic acids and were designed with barbs in a shape to prevent the disinsertion. Biodegradale retinal tacks are divided into 3 parts, a conical portion that is inserted into the sclera, a cylinder portion that remains in the vitreous, and a neck portion between the pin and the cylinder. The tapered conical end was manufactured to allow easy insertion through the retina and choroid into the sclera. A cylinder portion was manufactured with a tapered angle that fixes firmly into the orifice of 19 gauge spinal needle. A neck portion, 0.4 mm in diameter, was designed to prevent disinsertion from following implantation of retinal tack. The applicator was a 19 gauge spinal needle and its orifice was prepared to 15°angle to accept the tapered cylinder portion of the retinal tack. The retinal tacks, secured in the needles, were passed through the formed vitreous and inserted into the retina, choroid, and sclera and were released by pushing the internal needle, usually within 2-3mm of the medullary ray of the posterior rabbit retina A retinal tack was placed in each of 8 pigmented rabbit eyes. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy and fundus photography were performed periodically from 1 day to 8 weeks after surgery. Eight eyes were enucleated and studied by light microscopy at 8 weeks. Biomicroscopic evaluation of the animals revealed edemas adjacent to the retinal surfaces immediately after insertion of the biodegradable retinal tacks in all the animals. These edemas disappeared after 1 week. The first noticeable change in the size of retinal tacks was shown after 2weeks. The size of the retinal tacks gradually got smaller, decreasing to about one-half at 4 weeks and about one-third at 8 weeks. All retinal tacks remained in inserted places without any movement for an 8 week period. On light microscopy, epiretinal proliferations were seen to extend into the vitreous cavity. Cellular capsules that lined the inner aspect of the scleral defect caused by tack insertion were found. However the adjacent retina had a normal cytologic appearance and architecture in all specimens. We manufactured a biodegradable retinal tack that is designed to prevent intrusion from implantation of retinal tacks. All biodegradable retinal tacks reduce in size with time, but no retinal tacks extruded from the inserted place. The newly designed biodegradable retinal tack can be used for retinal fixation and may be used as a vehicle for the introduction of pharmacologic agents to prevent the cellular events that promote proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Digital Watermarking is a research area which aims at hiding secret information in digital multimedia contents such as image, audio, and video. In this paper, we propose a new watermaking method with visually recongnizable pattern into the digital image using wavelet transform, spread spectrum method and multilevel threshold value in considering the wavelet coefficients. The watermark information can be extracted by subtracting wavelet coefficients between the origitnal image and orginal image and the watermarked image. The esperimental results show that the prosposed technique is invisible watermarking and robust to JPEG lossy compression, resizing, masking, and filtering.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the postnatal development of pulpal innervation with the tooth development and eruption process in developing rat mandibular molars (postnatal 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35day-old and adult rats). Immunohistochemical method was carried out for the detection of nerve fibers, using the antibody against calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP). The results were as follows: The feature of CGRP-IR nerve fibers were shown in a bead-like appearance. The time of nerve entering into the dental papilla of tooth follicle began at the occured advanced dentinogenesis. The development of Raschkow plexus began at the formative stage of the roots and was accelerated at the stage of the crown emerged into the oral cavity. The number of nerve fibers entering the odontoblastic layer increased with the tooth eruption and mastication. The development of innervation was shown to be related with the stage of the development of individual teeth rather than the chronological age of the rat.

전통적인 흡착물질로 가장 많이 애용되어 온 활성탄(AC)과 새로히 개발된 천연고분자 물질 chitosan(CS) 및 脫 lignin톱밥(SD)으로 각각의 여과용 column을 만들고 음용수에 인위적으로 혼입해 둔 pb²+, Cd²+, Cu²+, Mn²+ 및 CN-에 대한 흡착 제거 성능을 비교 연구 하였다. 음용수에 혼입한 각 물질의 원 농도는 Pb²+; 3ppm, Cu²+; 3.1ppm, Mn²+; 0.7ppm, CN;5.3ppm였으며 이들 물질로 각각 단일용액을 조제하여 실험할때는 유속을 1.33㎤/min으로, 혼합용액으로 실험할때는 0.74㎤/min으로 하고, 충전된 흡착제의 건조 중량은 각가 10g으로 하여 흡착제거 실험을 하였다. 위의 각각의 단일 물질 용액에 대한 흡착제의 단위 중량(g)당 파괴점까지의 제거 용량은 Pb²+의 경우, 활성탄이 3.3ℓ, 탈 lignin톱밥이 3.5ℓ로 나타났고, Mn²+의 경우 활성탄이 10ℓ, 탈 lignin톱밥이 12ℓ, chitosan은 12.5ℓ로 나타났으며, CN-의 경우에는 활성탄이 4.8ℓ, 탈 lignin톱밥이 5.5ℓ, chitosan은 4.7ℓ로 각각 나타났다. 이들 혼합용액에 대해서는 단위 중량(g)당 파괴점까지의 흡착제거 용량은 pb²+의 경우, 활성탄이 2.5ℓ, 탈 lignin톱밥이 2.8ℓ, chitosan은 2.7ℓ로 나타났고, Cd²+의 경우, 활성탄이 2.4ℓ탈 lignin톱밥이 2.7ℓ,chitosan은 2.4ℓ로 나타났으며, Cu²+경우에는 활성탄이 2.8ℓ탈 lignin톱밥이 3.2ℓ, chitosan은 2.7ℓ로 나타났다. 대체로 Pb²+, Cd²+, Mn²+ 등 금속이온에 대한 흡착제거에 있어서는 탈 lignin톱밥과 chitosan의 경우가 활성탄보다는 10~30%정도 높은 제거율을 보였으며, CN-에 대해서는 탈 lignin톱밥>활성탄>chitosan의 순으로 제거 효율을 나타내었다. Some adsorbents prepared from natural resorces were subjected to the experiments of removing some metal ions(pb²+, Cd²+, Cu²+ and Mn²+)and cyanide. The adsorbents applied in the experiments were activated carbon, delignified saw dust and chitosan powder, each of which was packed into a column in order to remove metal ions and cyanide artificially contaminated in the potable water, functioning as filters. The most effective adsorbent was found to be the delignified saw dust column in removing contaminants and activated carbon column was found the poorest among the three. Delignified saw dust demonstrated to be a most effective, cheaper and popular filtering saw dust demonstrated to be a most effective, cheaper and popular filtering material for the purification of potable water which most citizens are not yet confident with.
