본 연구에서는 고무제품의 수치 안정성과 성능유지에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 중요한 특성 중 하나인 온도변화에 따른 고무재료의 경도변화를 고찰하였다. 새롭게 제작된 International Rubber Hardness Degree(IRHD, Normal type) 경도측정 시험기를 사용하여 미충전된 NR과 SBR시편의 여러 온도에서 경도변화를 측정하였으며 Young`s modulus 값과 비교하였다. NR과 SBR 모두 유리전이온도 근처에서 경도와 Young`s modulus의 급격한 변화를 보였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 경도와 Young`s modulus 값이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 이는 분자의 운동성과 엔트로피 영향으로 해석할 수 있다. 카본블랙과 실리카가 충전된 NR과 SBR의 경우 충전제의 함량이 증가함에 따라 경도에 미치는 온도의 영향이 감소함을 관찰하였다. Hardness of rubbery materials, which is important for dimensional stability and product performance, was investigated upon temperature change in this study. A newly developed IRHD (International Rubber Hardness Degree) tester was used to measure the hardness changes of NR and SBR specimens at various temperatures and the hardness values were compared with the Young`s modulus. The hardness and Young`s modulus of NR and SBR showed an abrupt change near the glass transition temperatures. The hardness and Young`s modulus were increased by increasing temperature due to the increased random chain conformation of molecules. The effect of temperature on hardness and Young`s modulus of NR and SBR specimens filled with carbon black and silica was decreased by increasing filler content.

This study is carried out to examine the effect of applying Feldenkrais method, elastic band training and combined training on trunk muscle. The subjects of this study were 32 modern dance majors and they were divided into four groups which consists of 8 peoples each, Feldenkrais method group(modern dance + Feldenkrais method), elastic band training group(modern dance + elastic band training), combined training group(modern dance + Feldenkrais method + elastic band training), and control group(modern dance). Measurement variables which are trunk muscle were measured before training, and after 4 and 8 weeks training and the results are as follow: In the left muscle strength change at Centaur 0°, Feldenkrais method group, elastic band training group and combined training group showed significant increase after 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the right muscle strength change, Feldenkrais method group and combined training group had significant increase after 8 weeks training. In the left muscle strength change at Centaur 45°, Feldenkrais method group and combined training group showed significant increase after 8 weeks training compared to before training and after 4 weeks training. Also elastic band training group showed significant increase after 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the right muscle strength change, Feldenkrais method group and elastic band training group significantly increased after 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the left muscle strength change at Centaur 90°, Feldenkrais method group and combined training group showed significant increase after 4 and 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the right muscle strength change, Feldenkrais method group showed significant increase after 4 and 8 weeks training compared to before training, and elastic band training group significantly increased after 8weeks training compared to before training. In the left muscle strength change at Centaur 135°, there was no significant changes. In the right muscle strength change, elastic band training group and combined training group showed significant increase after 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the left muscle strength change at Centaur 180°, combined training group showed significant increase after 4 and 8 weeks training compared to before training. In the right muscle strength change, combined training group showed significant increase after 4 and 8 weeks training compared to before training. From above results, applying 8 weeks regular program of Feldenkrais method, elastic band training and combined training to modern dance majors showed positive changes on improvement of trunk muscle strength and physical strength. Also this study implemented to verify the effects of trunk muscle strength and body balance through supplementary training program, and showed the effects in the training group and control group after 8 weeks trunk muscle strengthening program. Feldenkrais method, elastic band training and combined training are very effective to improve trunk muscle strength of modern dance majors so that continuous implementation and application of these effective training program shall be provided for strengthening trunk muscle.

Lee, Jae-Bum,Cha, Jun-Seok,Hong, Sung-Chul,Choi, Jin-Young,Myoung, Ji-Su,Park, Rokjin J.,Woo, Jung-Hun,Ho, Changhoi,Han, Jin-Seok,Song, Chang-Keun Elsevier 2015 Atmospheric environment Vol.106 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>We have developed the Integrated Climate and Air Quality Modeling System (ICAMS) through the one-way nesting of global–regional models to examine the changes in the surface ozone concentrations over East Asia under future climate scenarios. Model simulations have been conducted for the present period of 1996–2005 to evaluate the performance of ICAMS. The simulated surface ozone concentrations reproduced the observed monthly mean concentrations at sites in East Asia with high R<SUP>2</SUP> values (0.4–0.9), indicating a successful simulation to capture both spatial and temporal variability. We then performed several model simulations with the six IPCC SRES scenarios (A2, A1B, A1FI, A1T, B1, and B2) for the next three periods, 2016–2025 (the 2020s), 2046–2055 (the 2050s), and 2091–2100 (the 2090s). The model results show that the projected changes of the annual daily mean maximum eight-hour (DM8H) surface ozone concentrations in summertime for East Asia are in the range of 2–8 ppb, −3 to 8 ppb, and −7 to 9 ppb for the 2020s, the 2050s, and the 2090s, respectively, and are primarily determined based on the emission changes of NO<SUB>x</SUB> and NMVOC. The maximum increases in the annual DM8H surface ozone and high-ozone events occur in the 2020s for all scenarios except for A2, implying that the air quality over East Asia is likely to get worse in the near future period (the 2020s) than in the far future periods (the 2050s and the 2090s). The changes in the future environment based on IPCC SRES scenarios would also influence the change in the occurrences of high-concentrations events more greatly than that of the annual DM8H surface ozone concentrations. Sensitivity simulations show that the emissions increase is the key factor in determining future regional surface ozone concentrations in the case of a developing country, China, whereas a developed country, Japan would be influenced more greatly by effects of the regional climate change than the increase in emissions.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Change in ozone level is determined by the combination of NO<SUB>x</SUB> and NMVOC emissions. </LI> <LI> Ozone level over East Asia would get worse in the near future (the 2020s) than far future. </LI> <LI> A high-concentration event generally increases and more frequently occurs in the future. </LI> <LI> Change in ozone air quality in a developing country depends more on emissions change. </LI> <LI> Change in ozone air quality in a developed country depends more on climate change. </LI> </UL> </P>

For more effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the authers made 5-fluorouracil-polyglycolic acid composite disks(FU-PGA disks) with 5-fluorouracil and polyglycolic acid, a biodegradable polymer. We inserted the FU-PGA disk into the peritoneal cavites of Sprague-Dawley male rats, the control and three experimental groups; one FU-PGA disk insert group(300mg/kg), two FU-PGA disk insert group(600mg/kg), and three FU-PGA disk insert group(900mg/kg). The control group received a similar number of PGA disk inserts. A pharmacokinetic study was performed to measure the 5-fluorouracil concentration in the peritoneal fluid, blood, and tissues(liver, kidney and heart) at 24 hours, 72hours and 168 hours after insertion of the FU-PGA disk. Light and electron microscopic studies were done. The results were as follows: 1) The number of white blood cells and platelets decreased after FU-PGA insertion. The degree was proportional to the duration and amounts inserted. The change in the number of red blood cells varied slightly. 2) Light microscopically, slight changes were noted at 168 hours in the 3 disk insert group (900mg/kg). Mild fatty change and hepatocyte degeneration around the central veins of the liver were noted, with vacuolar degeneration in the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney. 3) Electron microscopically,the liver showed focal increases of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes, and irregular nuclear membrane with focal nucleolar segregation of the fibrillar and granular elements. Also the double membranous structure of the hepatocytes and Kupffer cells was widened with bleb formation. The kidney showed wide separation of the nuclear double membrane in the proximal convoluted tubular cells and mesangial cells, with vacuolation and myelin figure formation in the mitochondria of the proximal convoluted tubular cells, at 72 hours and 168 hours in the 2 to 3 FU-PGA insert groups. The heart showed focal loss of cristae,vacuolation and myelin figure formation in the mitochondria of the 2 to 3 FU-PGA insert groups. In conclusion, despite the large amont of FU-PGA inserted, the histopathological changes in the liver, kidney and heart were slight, and consonant with the very low amount of 5-fluorouracil concentrations detected in the liver, kidney and heart. The above results suggest that the FU-PGA composite can serve as a new device for releasing drugs in a controlled manner and easily targeted to intraperitoneal organs. This device can improve the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for gastric cancer.

가속도계를 이용한 재료의 영계수 측정방법

For the description of the elastic properties of linear objects a convenient parameter is the ratio of the stress to the strain, a parameter called the Young's modulus of the material. Young's modulus can be used to predict the elongation or compression of an object as long as the stress is less than the yield strength of the material. Conventional method for estimating Young's modulus measured the ratio of stress to corresponding strain below the proportional limit of a material using a tensile testing machine. But the method needs precision specimens and expensive equipment. In this paper, we proposed method for estimating Young's modulus using accelerometer. The basic idea comes from that the wave velocity is different as the Young's modulus. To obtain Young's modulus, a group velocity is obtained. It is difficult to measure group velocity. This is because plate medium has a dispersive characteristics which has different wave speed as frequency. In this paper, we used Wigner-Ville distribution to measure group velocity. To verify the proposed method, steel and acryl plate experiments have been performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method is powerful for estimating Young's modulus.

N/A Minima1 deterioration of cerebral perfusion or microanatomical changes were undetectable on conventional Brain CT or MRI. So evaluation of focal functional changes of the brain parenchyme is essential in chronic head injury patients, who did not show focal anatomical changes on these radiological studies. However, the patients who had longstanding neurologic sequelae following head injury, there had been no available imaging modalities for evaluating these patients precisely. Therefore we tried to detect the focal functional changes on the brain parenchyme using Tc-99m-HMPAO Brain SPECT on the patients of chronic head injuries. Twenty three patients who had suffered from headache, memory dysfunction, personality change and insomnia lasting more than six months following head injury were included in our cases, which showed no anatomical abnormalities on Brain CT or MRI. At first they underwent psychological test whether the symptoms were organic or not. Also we were able to evaluate the cerebral perfusion changes with Tc-99m-HMPAO Brain SPECT in 22 patients among the 23, which five patients were focal and 17 patients were nonfocally diffuse perfusion changes. Thus we can predict the perfusion changes such as local vascular deterioration or functional defects using Tc-99m-HMPAO Brain SPECT in the patients who had suffered from post-traumatic sequelae, which changes were undetectable on Brain CT or MRI.

The standard does much to improve merchantable quality, distribution efficiency and fair dealings by shipping of the standard agricultural products. Mushrooms notified as the standard are five items; Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Flammulina velutipes, Agaricus bisporus and Ganoderma lucidum. But many farmers are suffering from a strict standards. So these standard is required modification to fit farmhouse situations. This study was carried out to investigate mushroom quality of farm shipping and quality change during preservation at various treatment. Flammulina velutipes and Agaricus bisporus preserved at different temperature( 4℃, 10℃, 20℃) to investigate quality changes. Pileus diameters of Flammulina velutipes was 67% of first grade and 33% of second grade at the early stage. After two weeks, pileus diameters was not signigicant changes; 50% of first grade, 50% of second grade at 4℃ and 50% of second grade, 50% of third grade at 10℃. Although there were no significant changes of diameter at 20℃, most of the fruit bodies were decayed. In case of Agaricus bisporus, pileus diameter was 15% of first grade, 81% of second grade and 4% of third grade at the early stage. The more storage period longed, the more the color of the fruit body was browned. But pileus diameters was not signigicant changes. Hardness and chromaticity of these mushroom was declined as time passed. Now we are carrying out more research on some mushroom’s standards for improve consumer confidence.

Objectives: Although there have been several reports that described characteristics for young age stroke, information regarding very young age (18–30 years old) has been limited. We aimed to analyze demographic factors, stroke subtype, and 3-month outcome in acute ischemic stroke patient who have relatively very young age in multicenter stroke registry. Methods: We evaluated all 122 (7.1%) consecutive acute ischemic stroke (within 7 days after symptom onset) patients aged 18 to 30 from 17,144 patients who registered in multicenter prospective stroke registry, 1997 to 2012. Etiology was classified by Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. Stroke severity was defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and stroke outcome was defined by modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after index stroke. Results: The mean age of all included patients was 25.1±3.7 years and 76 patients (62.2%) were male. The median NIHSS at admission was 4. Considering stroke subtype, 37 patients (30.3%) had stroke of other determined etiology (SOD), 37 (30.3%) had undetermined negative evaluation (UN) and 31 (25.4%) had cardioembolism (CE) were frequently noted. After adjusting age, sex and variables which had P<0.1 in univariable analysis (NIHSS and stroke subtype), CE stroke subtype (odds ratio, 4.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.42–15.48; P=0.011) were significantly associated with poor functional outcome (mRS≥3). Conclusion: In very young age ischemic stroke patients, SOD and UN stroke subtype were most common and CE stroke subtype was independently associated with poor discharge outcome.

진감선사의 선불교 교화실천과 교학사상의 교육적 의의

진창영(Jin, Chang-Young) 한국교육사상연구회 2010 敎育思想硏究 Vol.24 No.3

진감선사 혜소는 신라하대 선불교 교체기의 한 선사였지만 교육의 관점에서는 엄격한 수행과 교육을 통하여 교화력이 높은 경지에 다다른 교육자적 인물이었다. 즉 진감선사라는 한 인물의 교육자적 개념에는 그 자신이 교육에 의해 이룩된 인간이라는 점과, 이를 바탕으로 교화를 실천하여 교육자의 역할을 수행한 인물이라는 의미가 함께 내포되어 있다. 전자의 경우, 선이 인간을 견성과 성불이라는 원만무애의 인격으로 이끌어 변화시키는 교육의 방법으로 역할하였다는 것인데, 구체적으로 선이 문자나 언어의 가르침에 의하지 아니하고 자기 안의 마음을 바로 바라봄으로써 본마음을 찾아 깨우침에 이르는 수행의 방법으로 교육적 역할을 하였다는 말이다. 이러한 선의 교육적 역할에 의해 이룩된 선사의 행적은 교화의 실천인 것이며 이는 곧 교육자의 역할을 수행한 것이 되므로 바로 후자의 경우가 된다. 이 때 ‘교화의 실천’은‘교학사상’을 바탕으로 하여 이루어졌다. 그의 교학사상은 심법.일심.인심사상으로 요약된다. 즉 견성성불은 문자나 말을 통하여 이루어지는 것이 아니라 오직(一) 마음(心)에 전하여 새기는(印) 것으로 불립문자.교외별전과 같은 의미의 다른 표현이다. 이것은 중국 남종선계 홍주종 사상의 법맥을 이은 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 홍주종의 사상적 전거인 능가경의 심지법문 또는 인심사상에 근거한다. 이러한 선의 교육논리 속에는 현대교육에서 시사받을 수 있는 두가지 의미가 있다. 하나는, 지식과 정보전달 중심의 교육에 대한 원천적 부정을 통하여 자력적 교육방법이라는 혁신적 방법을 제시한 것이고, 다른 하나는 오늘의 기능적 교육관으로부터 인간형성과 자아실현을 위한 교육을 지향하고 있다는 점을 들 수 있다. 선은 이러한 교육적 의미를 지니기 때문에 선수행을 통하여 이룩된 고승이란 곧 그 자체에 평범에서 비범으로의 변화를 이룩한 교육적 인간이라는 의미가 내포되어 있다고 할 수 있다. 즉 선수행이라는 교육적 과정을 통하여 본성의 발견과 견성․성불을 이룩한 완성적 인격자로서의 인간으로까지 나아갔다는 것이다. 이렇게 볼 때 진감선사도 여기에 해당된다 할 것이다. Although Jin-gam Zen master Hye-So was one of masters at the shifting period of Zen Buddism in the latter period of Shilla, he was an high state educator cultivated by long training in the view of education. He is not a priest of high virtue from the birth, but a person to reach an ideal state by Zen training and education for a long time. That is, Jin-gam Zen master represents a man achieved by education in his educational concepts, which also includes the meaning of a person training the role of educator by practical education. Here, Zen played a role as an educational method for a human to be changed into Entering Nirvana, perfection. That means that Zen played an educational role as a educational method to search and realize the original spirit state with just rightly looking at the mind. There are two meanings which can be implied by the modern education within education logic of Zen. One is to provide the self-effort educational method which is innovative through the negation of its originality about the education on the focus of knowledge and information transfer and the one another to move toward the education for human formation and self-actualization from the today’s functional educational views.

목적 : 당뇨병의 가장 흔한 합병증의 당뇨병성 신중에서 현저한 조직 변화인 사구체의 섬유화와 이와 유사한 조직 소견을 보이는 다른 질병들과의 관련성 및 섬유화 기전의 기전의 일단을 밝히기 위하여 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 당뇨병성 신증과 신 조직 일부 소실 후 발생하는 신 적출 후 신증, 생리적 노령화로 인한 사구체 섬유화 등에서 섬유화가 일어나는 시기와 부위, 섬유화의 정도와 시간 경과에 따른 변화 등을 조사하기 위하여 실험 동물 모형을 이용하여 형태계측학적 연구를 하였다. 수컷 Sprague-Dowley (이하 S-D) 흰쥐에 streptozotocin을 꼬리 정맥으로 투여하여 당뇨병성 신증 모델을 만들고, S-D 백서의 우측 신장을 절제하여 과여과 모형을 만들었다. 시술 후 일정 기간이 지난 후 시기별로 희생시켜 Sirius red 염색 표본을 만들어 시구체 단면적과 실질의 섬유화 정도를 측정하고, 전자현미경으로 얻은 사구체 소견에서 메산지움 기질의 면적, 사구체 기저막의 두께, 근위우곡세뇨관 기저막의 두께 등을 조사하였다. 이들에서 질병 시기에 따른 변화, 두 실험군 사이의 차이, 정상 대조군 및 생리적 노화 대조군과의 차이 등을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 당뇨병성 신증 모델에서 사구체 단면적은 실험8주 이후 24주까지 전 예에서 정상 대조군에 비해 크기가 의의있게 증가하였고 신 실질과 사구체 내의 섬유화는 실험 2주 째부터 대조군에 비해 의의있는 교원질 양의 증가가 있었다. 사구체 기저막은 streptozotocin 투여 1주에 희생시킨 군에서도 의의있는 두께의 증가가 있었고, 세뇨관 기저막도 3주에 측정한 군에서부터 현저한 두께의 증가가 있었다. 우측신 절제를 시행한 모형에서 사구체 평면적은 실험 7주군에서 커진 소견이 나타났고 16주 이후의 군대에서는 현저한 크기의 증가 소견이 있었다. 신실질과 사구체의 교원질 염색 소견에서 2주 이후 전 기간에 걸쳐 교원질 양의 증가가 있었고, 사구체 기저막과 세뇨관 기저막 두께는 술 후 2주에 희생시킨 군부터 두께가 의의있게 증가하였다. 생리적 노화과정을 거친 군에서도 사구체의 섬유화가 나타났는데 당뇨병 모형과 신적출 모형에 비해 그 정도는 덜하였다. 당뇨병 모형과 신적출 모형 사이의 사구체 조직 변화는 실험 기간이 긴 군들에서 사구체 평면적의 크기, 교원질 양의 증가, GBM과 TBM의 두께 등이 두 군 모두 현저한 증가를 보였고 신적출 모형에서 실험 최종 기간이 같지 않아 실험 수치의 비교가 의미가 없을 것으로 생각된다. 결 론 : 이상의 성적에 의거하면 신사구체와 간질의 섬유화, GBM과 TBM의 두께 증가는 당뇨병성 신증만의 특징적인 조직 변화는 아니고 신 실질 일부 소실이 일어나는 사구체 질환에서 공통적으로 일어나는 소견이다. 그러므로 본 연구의 대상이 된 당뇨병성 신중, 신적출 후 신증, 그리고 생리적 노화 과정 등에서 공통적으로 나타나는 사구체 모세관의 혈역동학적 변화가 사구체의 섬유화에 병인기전을 밝히는데 중요한 요소가 될 것으로 사료된다. Objective :Diabetic nephropathy and ablation nephropathy are characterized by sclerotic processes in the glomeruli. To elucidate the site, degree and time-honored changes of glomerular sclerosis, morphometric analysis was performed using the experimental animals models. Methods : The animals used were male Sprague-Dowley rats and separated into 4 groups as young mormal control, old control, streptozotocin-injected group, and right nephrectornized group. Chronologically kidney specimens were obtained after each treatment and processed to evaluated histologic changes. To evaluated the glomerular area, interstitial fibrosis and glomerular tuft fibrosis, the kidney specimens were fixed in Buin`s solution, paraffin-embedded and 2 ㎛ sections were Sirius red stained. To study the mesangial area, mesangial matrix area, glomerular basement membrane, and tubular basement membrane, the specimens were fixed in 2,5% glutaraldehyde, epon-embedded, double-stained and examined under the transmission electron microscope. All the specimens were analyzed morphometrically using the Image Pro Plus software. The obtained morphometric data were statistically analyzed to evaluate the differences of fibrotic processes and degree between experimental groups. Results : Diabetic group revealed statistically significant increase of glomerular area from 8th week after streptozotocin injection to 24th week of experimental date. The parenchymal fibrosis and glomerular tuft fibrosis was prominent from the 2nd week of injection and steadily increased until the end of experimental date. The thickness of glomerular basement membrane was significantly increased even at the first week of injection and the tubular basement membrane also increased in thickness at the 3rd week of experiment. Ablation nephropathy model made by right nephrectomy showed increased glomerular area at the 7th week of ablation and the degree were intensified after 16th week of experimental date. The amount of stainable collagen in the renal parenchyme and glomerular tuft increased in the second week kidney sample and steadily increased thereafter until the end of experimental date. The increase of thickness of GBM and TBM also started to appear at the second week of operation. The old control also revealed fibrosis but the degree was less than the diabetic and ablation groups. Both diabetic and ablation nephropathy groups exhibited extensive increase of glomerular area, stainable collagen, thickness of GBM and TBM at the end of experimental date and the ablation group revealed more extensive evidences of fibrosis without statistical significance. Comparison between the experimental groups were meaningless because the duration of the experimental manipulation was not the same. Conclusion: Glomerular and renal interstitial sclerosis and thickening of GBM and TBM are not the specific lesions of the diabetic glomerulopathy and are the common histologic changes occur in the kidney of partial parenchymal loss of any etiology. And it is suggested by this study that the common hemodynamic change involving the diabetic nephropathy, ablation nephropathy and physiologic aging is one of the important pathogenetic factors of glomerular sclerosis.
