<P>Lactoferrin (LF) and retinoic acid (RA) are enriched in colostrum, milk, and mucosal tissues. We recently showed that LF-induced IgA class switching through binding to betaglycan (transforming growth factor-beta receptor III, T beta RIII) and activation of canonical TGF-beta signaling. We investigated the combined effect of LF and RA on the overall IgA response. An increase in IgA production by LF was further augmented by RA. This combination effect was also evident in Ig germ-line alpha (GL alpha) transcription and GLa promoter activity, indicating that LF in cooperation with RA increased IgA isotype switching. We subsequently found that RA enhanced T beta RIII expression and that this increase contributed to LF-stimulated IgA production. In addition to the IgA response, LF and RA in combination also enhanced the expression of the gut-homing molecules C-C chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) and alpha 4 beta 7 on B cells. Finally, peroral administration of LF and RA enhanced the frequency of CCR9(+)IgA(+) plasma cells in the lamina propria. Taken together, these results suggest that LF in cooperation with RA can contribute to the establishment of gut IgA responses.</P>

This study was performed to investigate the effect of wax layer of bamboo on leaching of boron compounds. The removal of wax layer increased the loading of boron on bamboo surface. However, it had an effect on increasing the leaching rates of boron compounds during leaching test. The addition of water repellent retarded leaching of boron compounds to some extent from treated samples. Although borate/WRP system did not qualify borate treated wood for ground contact use, it showed a potential to improve performance of borate treated bamboo in above-ground applications not subjected to continuous wetting conditions.

하악 제1대구치 이소맹출의 치험례

소정원,이광희,라지영,안소연,김윤희,반재혁 大韓小兒齒科學會 2010 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.37 No.1

Ectopic eruption is caused by an abnormal direction of eruptive path, most common in maxillary first molar, mandibular lateral incisor, and maxillary canine, and sometimes mandibular first molar. Ectopic eruption of first molar leads to abnormal root resorption of second deciduous molar, which, if left untreated, could cause premature loss of second deciduous molar; mesial tilting and rotation of first permanent molar; lack of space for eruption of second premolar; and occlusal problems. Therefore early treatment is advised when diagnosed as ectopic eruption. Treatment of ectopic eruption in the first permanent molar involves providing proper guidance for the direction of eruption using interproximal wedging and distal tipping methods while preserving second deciduous molar. This case report shows satisfactory results of the ectopic eruption of mandibular first molars in young patients who were treated with Humphrey appliance and Halterman appliance. 이소맹출은 치아가 비정상적인 위치로 맹출하는 경우를 말하며, 주로 상악 제1대구치, 하악 측절치, 상악 견치에서 발생하며 하악 제1대구치에서는 드물게 발생한다. 제1대구치의 이소맹출은 흔히 제2유구치의 비정상적인 치근흡수를 야기하며, 이를 방치하게 되면 제2유구치의 조기상실, 제1대구치의 근심경사 및 회전, 제2소구치의 맹출 공간 부족 및 교합문제 등을 야기하게 되므로 이소맹출로 진단될 경우 조기 치료가 추천된다. 이소맹출은 대개 통상적인 방사선검사를 통해 발견되나, 간혹 제2유구치의 치근흡수가 심할 경우 치수가 감염되어 동통을 야기하는 경우도 있다. 이소맹출의 치료는 제2유구치를 보존하면서 제1대구치의 맹출 방향을 바로 잡아 주는 것으로 크게 치간이개(interproximal wedging)와 원심경사이동(distal tipping)을 이용한 방법을 사용한다. 본 증례들은 하악 제1대구치의 이소맹출을 보이는 환아들로, Humphrey appliance와 Halterman appliance를 이용하여 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Redundant 2진 구조를 이용한 8 × 8-Bit 복소수 승산기의 설계

라승수,김정범 강원대학교 정보통신연구소 2003 정보통신논문지 Vol.7 No.-

A redundant binary (RB) architecture, which is optimized for the fast CMOS parallel multiplier, is proposed. This architecture enables one of to convert a pair of partial products in normal binary (NB) from to one RB number with no additional circuits. We improved the RB adder circuit so that it can make a fast addition of the RB partial products. We also simplified the converter that converts the final RB number into the corresponding NB number. The carry propagation path of the converter circuit is carried out with only a multiplexer. An 8×8-bit complex multiplier is designed with this architecture. It is fabricated by 0.6 um standard CMOS process with triple metal technology. The validity and effectiveness of the designed multiplier are verified through the MAX PLUS-Ⅱ and HSPICE simulation. The active area size is 1.55×1.45 mm2 and the number of transistors is 16,323. Under the condition of 3.3V supply voltage, the chip achieves 7.5 ns multiplication time.

박정윤,박광옥,백미경,김세라,권혜리,양수진 대한기초간호자연과학회 2004 Journal of korean biological nursing science Vol.6 No.1

Background : Intravenous(Ⅳ) access is becoming an increasingly important part of health care today. The current drive for clinical effectiveness and cost-effective health care serves to increase the need for reliable vascular access. Venous access devices were developed to overcome problems associated with limited peripheral access and frequent venipuncture in patients with long-term therapy. Although the peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) have become popular during recent years in USA, its procedure is rare in Korea. Purpose : The goal of this study was to analyze the PICC inserted patient data by Ⅳ CNS intervention. Method : A Total of 62 PICCs were inserted into 51 patients by the Ⅳ CNS during a 10-month period form November, 14, 2002, to October 2, 2W2. Data was obtained retrospectively through chart review. Result : The patient population included 34(54.8%) men and 28(45.2%) women, with a mean age 50.6 years. The main indication for PICC placement was to access vein in poor peripheral venous status(40.3%). The mean served interval for PICC insertions was 16.7 days(range, 2~61 days). The reasons for removal were completed therapy in 18 cases(29.0%), patient death in 13 cases(21.0%), and mechanical or functional PICC problem in 10cases(16.1%). The three PICCs removed for presumed infection, and one had only positive tip cultures(0.2%). Conclusion : PICCs are rapidly growing popularity and required an extended course of Ⅳ therapy.

폐기 목질 재료로 제조한 학생용 책상 천판의 성능에 미치는 성형조건의 영향

노정관,김재경,김사익,조종수,윤승락,나종범,도정락 한국목재공학회 2002 목재공학 Vol.30 No.4

폐기 목질재료를 사용하여 학생용 책상 천판의 성형시 각 제조조건에 따른 천판의 성능을 검토하였다. 책상 천판의 파티클 구성은 고운 파티클과 거친 파티클을 적절히 혼합한 것이 고운 파티클이나 거친 파티클만으로 제조한 것보다는 전체적으로 성능이 양호하였으며, 특히 표층에는 고운 파티클을 중층에는 거친 파티클을 구성하는 것이 표면 마감성이 가장 우수하였다. 그리고 밀도가 높을수록 박리강도, 휨 강도는 우수하나, 흡수두께 팽창율은 증가하였으며, 수지 도포량이 많을수록 박리강도, 흡수두께 팽창율은 양호하나, 포름알데히드의 방출량은 높았다. 가압온도는 높을수록 대부분의 성능이 향상되었으며, 190℃가 가장 적절하였다. 가압시간은 1단계 2분과 2단계 2분이 비교적 양호하나 2단계의 가압시간을 1분으로 단축하여도 성능에는 큰 문제가 없어 앞으로 생산성의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. This research was performed to investigate the effect of moulding conditions on properties of the table top for student desk manufactured by wood waste materials. The table top manufactured using the mat mixed properly with fine particles and coarse particles generally showed better physical properties than those manufactured using either fine particles or coarse particles did. Especially, highest performance for overlaying was observed when fine particles were used for face layer and coarse particles were used for core layer. The internal bond (IB) strength, the bending strength and thickness swelling increased with the increase of density. Most of physical properties were improved with the increase of hot pressing temperature. The best physical properties were found at 190℃ when the first hot pressing and the second hot pressing times were two minutes. However, the effect of the second hot pressing time of two minutes on the physical properties was not markedly different from that of one minute. This result suggests that the second hot pressing time of one minute is enough to increase the productivity in manufacturing the table top with the least decrease of the physical properties.
