Aims: Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection increases the risk for progressive liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and negatively impacts the patient’s quality of life. HCV treatment is evolving with direct acting antivirals but IFN based therapy has been the standard of care for many years and remains available in some countries. The MOSAIC study aims to characterize patients with chronic HCV infection and assess the impact of IFN-containing treatment on health-related quality of life, work related productivity and health care utilization. Methods: MOSAIC is an international prospective multicenter observational study that has been conducted in 20 countries. Consecutive patients with chronic HCV infection were enrolled and those who initiated an IFN based regimen were prospectively followed for 48 weeks. We report results from the Korean cohort Results: 100 patients were enrolled: 86 were treatment naïve and 14 were treatment experienced. 33 patients initiated an IFN based regimen: 6 patients started IFN + RBV, 26 patients started Peg-IFN + RBV, none started Peg-IFN + RBV + DAA and 1 patient received other treatment. Among the treated cohort, demographic and disease characteristics were the following: the mean age was 54.5 years; 14 patients were male. 14 had minimal or no fibrosis, 2 portal fibrosis, 3 bridging fibrosis and 6 patients suffered from cirrhosis. HCV Genotype distribution was as follows: genotype 1: 11; genotype 2: 19 and genotype 3: 3. Table 1 describes the results at baseline and changes over 4, 12 and 48 weeks and end-of-treatment (EOT) for the quality of life and work productivity outcome measures (EQ-5D-5L, HCV-PRO and WPAI). Conclusions: Results from the Korean cohort of the MOSAIC study show a moderate trend for deterioration of health-related quality of life and work productivity associated with IFN based treatment for patients with chronic HCV infection during treatment period.

The rectifier characteristics and the quality of the input current worsens with the increase of unbalances or harmonics of the supply voltages. Rectifier input current harmonics interfere with proper power system operation, reduce rectifier power factor, and limit the power available from a given source. It is of importance to select appropriately the rectifier's outpur filter inductance to determine the rectifier input current waveform, the input current harmonics, and the power factor. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of single and three phase rectifier input current harmonics, total harmonic distortion, and power factor as a function of the output filter inductance under balanced and unbalanced conditions. Also, its performance under the supply voltage including harmonics be investigated. These results provide a reference for selecting resonable rectifier's output filter inductance for given harmonics or power factor criterion.

It has been reported several viral diseases in soybean. The occurrence of Bean common mosaic virus and Peanut stunt virus are able to induce severe problem because the main breeding target for viral disease was focused on Soybean mosaic virus. BCMV is a spcies of the genus Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae. BCMV reduces yield by as much as 80% and also adversely affects seed quality in common bean. BCMV has a worldwide distribution because of its high rates 35% of transmission via seeds produced by plants systemically infected prior to bloom. PSV is a species of the genus Cucumovirus of the family Bromoviridae. PSV has been reported to be economically damaging on beans worldwide. Although the virus is reportedly seed transmissible at very low rates, infected plants rarely produce pods with normal viable seeds. The most satisfactory management method of viral diseases such as BCMV and PSV is the use of resistant cultivars and healthy seed. For the overcome of genetic resistance by new virus such as BCMV and PSV, virus diseases monitoring and researches need to study deeply and continually. In this study, we conducted the resistance screen on BCMV and PSV for selection of resistance cultivars. We inoculated on 128 cultivars with PSV and BCMV respectively. These cultivars were classified through pathogenic response such as resistance, necrosis and susceptibility. In addition, 99 and 66 resistant cultivars were confirmed against PSV and BCMV respectively.

This study investigated that the effect of rewetting agent on dentinal microtensile bond strength (μTBS). Human molars were sectioned to expose the superficial dentin surfaces. Samples were divided into two groups according to type of adhesives-Single Bond (S) and One-Step (0)], and again subdivided into five groups by different dentin surface treatment-dry for 15s (D) , blot dry (BD) or dry for 15s, and rewet with different rewetting agents[distil1ed water (DW), Gluma Desensitizer (GD) and Aqua-Prep (AP)]for 30s. After application of adhesive, composite resin was built up on the bonding surface. Each tooth was sectioned to obtain stick with 1mm^(2) cross sectional area and the μTBS was determined by EZ test. In the S group, the mean μTBS of GD, AP and BD group was significantly higher than that of DW and D group (p < 0.05). In the 0 group, the mean μTBS of AP, GD, BD and DW group was significantly higher than that of D group (p < 0.05). The data suggested that Gluma Desensitizer and Aqua-Prep could be successfully used as rewetting agents, and Distilled water could be acceptable in aceton based adhesive system only.

치면열구전색은 수 십년간 교합면 우식의 예방에 가장 효과적인 방법 중 한가지로 알려져 왔다. 하지만 치면열구전색제의 마모와 파절 때문에 치면열구전색제의 재시술 또는 수리를 필요로 하게 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 파손된 치면열구전색제를 수리할 때 치질과 잔여 전색제의 표면처리 방법에 따른 미세누출 차이를 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 120개의 영구 대구치에 치면열구전색제를 적용하고 인위적인 파손을 만든 뒤 인공타액에 4주 동안 보관하였다. 4주 후 근심 또는 원심의 치면열구전색제가 완전히 파손 양상을 나타내는 치아 60개를 선택하여 각각 15개씩 4개 군으로 나누어 실험에 사용하였다. 각 군을 산부식만 시행한 경우(1군), air-abrasion만 시행한 경우(2군), 산부식 후 결합제를 적용한 경우(3군), air-abrasion 후 결합제를 적용한 경우(4군)로 나눠 각각의 치아를 표면처리한 후 치면열구전색제를 도포하였다. 고온(55℃)과 저온(5℃)에서 각각 30초씩 500회의 열순환을 시행한 뒤 미세누출도를 검사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치면열구전색제/치면열구전색제 경계면에서 미세누출도는 결합제 사용 유무에 관계없이 air-abrasion을 처리한 2군, 4군에서 산부식을 사용한 1군, 3군보다 낮은 값을 보였고(p<0.05) 1군과 2군, 3군과 4군 사이에는 통계적 유의차가 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 치면열구전색제/치아 경계면에서 미세누출도는 결합제를 사용한 3군, 4군에서 결합제를 사용하지 않은 1군, 2군보다 낮은 값을 보였고(p<0.05) 산부식을 사용한 1, 3군과 air-abrasion을 사용한 2, 4군 사이에는 통계적 유의차가 없었다(p>0.05). 3. SEM 상에서 치면열구전색제를 산부식 처리하였을 때 표면거칠기의 증가가 적었으나 air-abrasion 하였을 경우 표면거칠기가 현저하게 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. The aim of this study was to investigate whether differences in surface treatment Prior to repair influenced the seal of a resin fissure sealant placed on the occlusal surfaces of permanent molar teeth. One hundred and twenty extracted human molars were selected and a light curing sealant was placed on their occlusal surface following cleaning by prophylaxis and acid etching. The teeth were deliberately damaged, and then stored in artificial saliva for four weeks. Sixty teeth with the desired morphology of sealant failure were randomly divided into four groups where one group was treated with only etching agent, another by only air-abrasion, another by applying an etching agent followed by a bonding agent, and the last by air-abrasion followed by a bonding agent each. After sealant application, the samples were thermocycled and the degree of microleakage was determined. The results were as follows: 1. In the sealant/sealant interface, group 2(0.22), 4(0.23) using air-abrasion showed a significantly lower microleakage score than group 1(0.38), 3(0.35) using an etching agent(p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences(p>0.05) between groups 1, 2 and groups 3, 4. 2. In the sealant/tooth interface, group 3(0.20), 4(0.20) which used a bonding agent showed a significantly lower microleakage score than group 1(0.35), 2(0.40)(p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between groups 1, 3 and groups 2, 4. 3. In SEM examination, while sealant surfaces treated with etching did not result in highly rough surfaces, those treated with air-abrasion did show rough surfaces.

Background: Hypertonic saline (4.5% NaCl) inhalation is known to induce broncho-constriction by affecting mast cell, epithelial cell and vagal afferent pathway in some asthmatics. Disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) is known to have a preventive effect on allergic asthma and exercise induced asthma, and recently it was reported that furosemide and heparin had similar effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of furosemide, DSCG and heparin on hypertonic saline provocation test in asthmatics. Methods: Thirteen asthmatics with a positive response to hypertonic saline challenge were enrolled. Hypertonic saline and test drugs were generated by ultrasonic nebulizer. After taking baseline 4.5% NaCl challenge, subjects were rechallenged with 4.5% NaCl after inhalation of furosemide 40㎎, DSCG 40㎎ or heparin 1,000μ/㎏. Results: 1. There was a significant positive relationship between PC_20-methacholine and PTM-4.5% NaCl(r=0.5575, p = 0.024). 2. Furosemide, DSCG and heparin had no direct bronchodilating effects. 3. Premedication of furosemide and DSCG(n=6) showed significant protective effects on 4.5% NaCl induced broncho-constriction. The average protection rate were 100.6±6.6% and 91.1±17.2%, respectively. 4. Premedication of furosemide and heparin(n=7) showed significant protective effects on 4.5% NaCl induced broncho-constriction. The average protection rate were 58.7±29.2% and 59.0±51.1%. respectively. Conclusions: Furosemide(40㎎), DSCG(40㎎) and heparin(1.000μ/㎏) had significant protective effects on hypertonic saline induced broncho-constriction in asthmatics, and there were no significant differences in their potency of protection rate.

VOCs(voatile organic compounds) have been known as the source of pollution materials of the atmosphere. VOCs related to removal technologies such as emission adsorption, absorption and condensation are developed. Recently developing VOCs removal technologies aer bio filtration membrane separation, UV oxidation Not available VOCs removal technologies for VOCs, adsorption has been widely recognized as an effective means of controlling emissions to the atmosphere and recovering recycle materials from process exhaust streams. Experimental study was carried out for benzene adsorption in an activated carbon bed. As benzene concentration increased, breakthrough time was decreased. This results due to the pressure increasing in the bed and the higher interstitial linear gas velocity. In this experiment, mass transfer coefficient was measured by numerical simulation and cure fitting for experimental data. This dynamic adsorption data and mass transfer coefficient will be for design of adsorption process.
