Kim, Jin-young,deMello, Andrew J.,Chang, Soo-Ik,Hong, Jongin,O'Hare, Danny Royal Society of Chemistry 2011 Lab on a chip Vol.11 No.23

<P>The vast majority of droplet-based microfluidic devices are made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Unfortunately PDMS is not suitable for high frequency droplet generation at high operating pressure due to its low shear modulus. In this paper, we report the fabrication and testing of microfluidic devices using thermoset polyester (TPE). The optical characteristics of the fabricated devices were assessed and substrate resistance to pressure also investigated. TPE devices bonded using an O<SUB>2</SUB> plasma treated PET substrate at 76 °C were shown to function efficiently at pressures up to 18 MPa. TPE material retains many of the attractive features of PDMS such as ease of fabrication but significantly, has superior mechanical properties. The improved resistance of TPE to high pressures enabled investigation of high frequency droplet generation as a function of a wide range of flow-rates with three different oils as continuous phase.</P> <P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>Droplet-based microfluidic devices to withstand high pressure have been successfully fabricated using thermoset polyester (TPE) materials for high frequency generation of droplets. <IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=c1lc20603f'> </P>

Graphene paper with controlled pore structure for high-performance cathodes in Li–O₂ batteries

Kim, Do Youb,Kim, Mokwon,Kim, Dong Wook,Suk, Jungdon,Park, Jung Jin,Park, O Ok,Kang, Yongku Elsevier 2016 Carbon Vol.100 No.-

<P>In non-aqueous Li-O-2 batteries, relatively large amounts of discharge products are formed on air cathodes. As such, the expansion of air cathodes is a critical issue that remains to be solved. Here, we report the fabrication of highly porous free-standing graphene paper by introducing macropores within the paper using polystyrene colloidal particles as a sacrificial template. The as-prepared macroporous graphene paper (mp-GP) have a large BrunauereEmmetteTeller (BET) surface area (ca. 373 m(2) g(-1)), a large pore volume (ca. 10.9 cm(3) g(-1)), and a high porosity (91.6%). Owing to the high surface area and large pore volume, the mp-GPs exhibit a high specific capacity of ca. 12,200 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 200 mA g(-1), as well as good rate capability, when used as an air cathode in a non-aqueous Li-O-2 battery. Moreover, the mp-GP shows good stability up to 100 and 78 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g(-1) and 2000 mA g(-1) respectively, with a limiting capacity of 1000 mAh g(-1). It is found that formation and decomposition of the discharge product, Li2O2, occur within the macropores, and thus, the mp-GP maintains its original structure without considerable expansion during cycling.

Objectives : It has been reported that caregivers of patients with chronic mental illness including schizophrenia are in higher risk for psychological and physical health problem. This study was performed to evaluate the depressive symptoms and associated factors in caregivers of patients with chronic mental illness. Methods : The subjects were 77 unaffected caregivers (30 parents, 30 siblings, 10 offspring, and 7 spouses) of patients with chronic mental illness (62 schizophrenia, 4 schizoaffective disorder, 11 bipolar disorder) and 100 healthy controls. Depressed mood was assessed by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in all subjects. For their sick family members, clinical factors including psychotic symptoms using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), duration of illness, number of admission were assessed. Results : The mean BDI score of the caregivers was significantly higher than that of control subjects (11.2±11.6 and 8.0±17.5). Given that 23.4% of family group and 23.0% of control group are attributed to mild to moderate depressed state and 22.0% of family group and 8.0% of control group to above moderate depressed state, significant depressive symptom is more frequently observed in family group. The mean BDI score of parent group was higher than that of sibling group controlling for sex and age. In the parent group, BDI scores are positively correlated with age while the offspring and spouse group had negative correlation between BDI scores and age. Higher age, lower socioeconomic state, more severe positive symptom scores of patients were potential predictors for BDI scores of caregivers. Conclusion : This study showed that caregivers of patients with chronic mental illness have significant depressive symptoms. It may be suggested that depressive symptoms of caregivers are associated with aging, low socioeconomic state, and severe positive symptom rather than chronicity of their sick family members.

김혜진,신웅기,권오유,이영호,김원식 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 1996 충남의대잡지 Vol.23 No.2

Morphogenesis of palatal rugae and retinoic acid-induced anomalies, numerical and pattern disruptions, were studied to know the mechanism of normal rugae formation and the relations between these disruptions and retinoic acid teratogenecity. Sprague-Dawley rats and all trans retinoic acid of Sigma Chemicals were used in this experiment. Retinoic acid was administered at gestational day 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 by the dose of 60mg/kg 80mg/kg 100mg/kg and 120mg/kg respectively per orally. At the gestational day 17.5, the rats were sac rificed under ether anesthesia and removed entire uterine horns into the saline-filled Petri dish. Congenital anomalies on the head and palatal rugae were observed with stereoscope. and light and transmission electron microscopic observation were performed to investigation histologic changes of the rugal epithelium and mesenchyme after retinoic acid treatment. The results were as follows; 1. Retinoic acid-induced congenital anomalies in this experiment were exencephaly and hydrocephalus in gestational day 8 and 9 groups, and cleft palate in gestational day 9 and 10 groups, and the number of anomalies was increased dose dependently. 2. Severe numerical variation and pattern disruptions such as division, medial and lateral fusion, cross, bifid rugae and rugal papillae were found on the gestational day 9 and 10 groups, and the relation between the retinoic acid teratogenecity and the numerical and pattern disruptions of the rugae were very close. 3. On TEM observation, the basal laminae under the rugal epithelium were absent at many areas and the filopodiae of the epithelial cells protruded into the underlying mesenchyme. According to the above results, it is considered that the mesenchymal cells of palatal shelf migrate into the designated areas of epithelium through the basal lamina, proliferate rapidly and form the rugae. Retinoic acid may inhibit the proliferation and migration into the epithelium of mesenchymal cells and the incompatibility between the growth of palatal shelf and the slowed speed of mesenchymal cells migration into the epithelium will leads the numerical and pattern disruptions of the rugae. And the relation between the teratogenecity of the retinoic acid and the numerical and pattern disruptions of the rugae was considered to be very close.

Objective : This retrospective study was aimed to correlate characteristic neurologic deficits of transient contralateral motor weakness with or without speech disturbance(Supplementary Motor Area, SMA syndrome) after the resection of the gliomas in the superior frontal gyrus, especially with the extent of resection of the tumors. Method : Ten patients with medial superior frontal glioma, who underwent gross total or subtotal resection of the tumor, as well as, partial or complete resection of the spolementary motor area were studied. The following parameters were evaluate 1) tumor location 2) extent of resection 3) degree and duration of postoperative deficits. Result : Postoperative neurologic deficits were transient contralateral motor weakness with or without motor dysphasia. As a whole, postsurgical SMA syndrome occurred in 3 patients out of 10 patients with medial superior frontal gliomas(30%), who underwent gross total or subtotal resection of the tumors. Motor deficits were present in 3 out of 10 patients and speech disturbances in 2 out of 3 left frontal gliomas. Recovery of neurological dysfunction was rapid occurring between the 5th 14th POD and their neurological function returned almost normal in two patients. In the remaining one patient, who had preoperative mild motor weakness showed incomplete recovery of the worsened motor weakness and newly developed speech disturbance till 1yr postoperatively. Conclusion : The postsurgical SMA syndrome in patients with glioma in the medial superior frontal gyrus was not so uncommon phenomenon and well correlated with the extent of surgical resection of the supplementary motor area. Thus, preoperative awareness and warning about the possibility of the development of this charicteristic SMA syndrome is necessary.

이 실험의 목적은 Resilon으로 근관충전된 치아에서 자가산부식전처리제에 따른 치근단 미세누출을 평가하고자 함이다. 70개의 단근치를 사응하였고 .04 Taper ProFile을 사용하여 ISO #40까지 근관성형 하였다. 치아는 근관충전 재료와 자가산부식 전처리제에 따라서 15개씩 4개의 실험군과 5개씩 2개의 대조군으로 나누었다. 실험 치아는 치아 장축에 평행하게 잘라내어 염색액의 최대 침투 길이를 측정하였다. 통계분석은 One-way ANOVA test로 분석하였으며 Scheffe test로 사후검정 하였다. 실험결과 자가산부식전처리제를 사용한 2, 3, 4군 사이에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 1군과 4군 사이에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 (p < 0.05), 1군에서 가장 적은 치근단 미세누출을 나타냈다. 이 실험 결과에 따르면 Resilon으로 근관충전을 한 치아는 gutta percha와 AH26^(ⓡ)으로 근관충전할 치아와 비교했을 때 더 좋은 치근단 밀폐를 나타내지 않는다는 결론을 얻었으며, Resilon을 사용하여 근관충전을 한 경우에 자가산부식 전처리제의 차이에 따른 치근단 밀폐효과의 차이를 보이지 않는다는 결론을 얻었다. The purpose of this study was to compare the apical microleakage in root canal filled with Resilon by several self-etching primers and methacrylate-based root canal sealer. Seventy single-rooted human teeth were used in this study. The canals were instrumented by a crown-down manner with Gate-Glidden drills and .04 Taper Profile to ISO #40. The teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups of 15 teeth each according to root canal filling material and self-etching primers and two control groups (positive and negative) of 5 teeth each as follows: group 1 - gutta percha and AH26^(ⓡ) sealer; group 2 - Resilon, RealSeal™ primer and RealSeal™ sealer; group 3 - Resilon, Clearfil SE Bond^(ⓡ) primer and RealSeal™ sealer group 4 - Resilon, AdheSe^(ⓡ) primer and RealSeal™ sealer. Apical leakage was measured by a maximum length of linear dye penetration of roots sectioned longitudinally by diamond disk. Statistical analysis was performed using the One-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe' s test. There were no statistical differences in the mean apical dye penetration among the groups 2, 3 and 4 of self-etching primers. And group 1, 2 and 3 had also no statistical difference in apical dye penetration. But, there was statistical difference between group 1 and 4 (p < 0.05). The group 1 showed the least dye penetration. According to the results of this study, Resilon with self-etching primer was not sealed root canal better than gutta precha with AH26^(ⓡ) at sealing root canals. And there was no significant difference in apical leakage among the three self-etching primers.
