吸菸、喝酒與嚼檳榔之基因毒性研究
流行病學資料顯示,近年來口腔癌發生率明顯增加。本研究之目的是探討口腔黏膜細胞微核發生頻率及彗星分析法之基因傷害指標是否與菸、酒、檳榔暴露有關,以及是否可以看到菸、酒、檳榔之交互作用。 研究對象為桃園地區山地鄉之民眾,利用問卷收集個人之菸、酒、檳榔及干擾因子之暴露資料,再採集樣本之口腔黏膜細胞及血液樣本,進行基因傷害評估。 結果顯示,口腔黏膜之微核發生率與檳榔之暴露相關性最大,可以解釋12.6%;然而,彗星尾部動量和尾部長度則以香菸暴露解釋力最大;同時,檳榔與香菸的基因傷害交互作用似乎存在。因此我們認為,口腔黏膜細胞之微核發生頻率對於檳榔暴露者應是不錯的基因傷害指標,而香菸暴露則以彗星分析法之指標較為敏感。 ;Epidemiological studies showed that the incidence of oral cancer increased significantly in recent years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the genotoxicity of cigarette smoke, alcohol and betel quid use as well as the. interaction effect between these three risk factors. The study subjects were selected from residents lived in a mountain area of Tao-Yuan county. We used questionnaire as a tool of exposure measurement. The exfoliated oral buccal cells and blood samples were collected for the assay of micronucleus frequency (MNF) and comet assay. We find that there are higher MNF in smokers, alcohol drinkers, and betel quid users compared with nonusers. However, a significant difference can not be found because of small sample size. The relationship between MNF and three risk factors was strongest in betel quid use, however, for smokers the parameters in comet assay were more sensitive than MNF. There is a tendency of additive effect between cigarette, alcohol and betel quid although without statistical significance. Advanced statistical analysis is suggested to find stronger evidence in the genotoxicity biomarker.

模擬聲波干涉
在高中光學裡,介紹了許多有關光波之特性,而聲波與光波皆具有波動性,因此聲波應具有如干涉、反射、聚焦等特性,但在物理課本上並未詳加敘述,所以我們開始了本項的研究,希望可以籍由改變聲源及邊界的各項條件,而探討其發生之現象。在本研究中,我們利用聲波之基本原理在電腦上進行聲場的模擬並加以改變其變因(頻率、相位、聲源數、聲源間距、強度、邊界反射),進而明瞭聲場之各項特性及應用與控制方式。經電腦模擬聲場圖中,我們觀察到,兩聲源干涉所形成之圖形為多組雙曲線所組成,近似於光學之雙狹縫干涉,增加聲音頻率與聲源間距離皆可使腹(節)線數目增加。如同現實世界中所知的,隨著頻率的增加,將會具有指向性的產生並且在聲源數目越多時越明顯,但發現頻率增加至一定值之後,指向性反而會降低而形成冠狀面。在延遲了多點聲源間相位之後,聲場分佈有偏轉之現象,利用相位延遲的方法,在多聲源中,將兩旁之聲音偏向中央將可造成聲音的聚焦。在兩聲源干涉中,調整其中一聲源之強度,將可完全消除兩音源連線間一點之聲音,可適當的應用在工業上消除噪音。聲場分佈在具有邊界的環境下,我們試著找出聲源位置及邊界條件對聲場分佈的影響與關係以模擬室內聲場,但在簡化的數學模式下,即無法有我們所希望之最均勻聲場分佈產生。最後我們將實驗中的結果與文獻上的實驗數據加以比較,以探討其誤差。 The optical course in senior high school , which introduced many characteristics of optical wave. However, both of sound and light have the characters of wave; therefore, sound wave should have the characteristics, such as interference, reflection and focalizing. Nevertheless, there are not many details of sound wave in the section of acoustic on our textbook. So we began this research, and discuss the different phenomena by changing many kinds of variables. In our research, we simulated the sound field on the computer, based on sound wave’s principle, furthermore we change many variables, which like frequency, phase, source number, distance, intensity and reflection. It helps us understand the characteristics of\r sound, how to control sound and how to apply these findings. According to the result of computer simulation, we discovered that the graph of two acoustic source’s interference comprised by many pairs of hyperbola, just like optical double slit interference. As the frequency or the sound source distance increased, acoustic direction became more and more obvious. But when the frequency was high enough to over the extreme, instead increasing, the acoustic direction would lower down like a crown. After we make phase differences on one of the two sound sources, sound field generated\r deviation. So if we use this method in multiple sound source, and delay the middle source, the sound field might be converged. In such two-sound-source interference pattern, when we control the intensity of one, a certainly point on the line of the two sources disappeared When the sound field enclose by borderline, the standing wave appear, and we discovered many funny phenomena. We put large amount of source in a narrow slit, the phenomenon of diffraction appeared. Finally, we discussed the discrepancies between interference pattern previously done by others experiments and the simulated one conducted by us.

擺動知覺曉,觸角知多少!--光線與震動影響美洲蜚蠊觸角擺動模式之研究
During the biology classes from junior to senior high, we have learned many interesting instance of different animal behavior. Most people paid more attention on the Vertebrates as their experimental subjects. The other species around us, although with simple body structures, may behave rather complicated and versatile reactions. In particular, one of the most common insects with simple body structure in our neighborhood is the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). The aim of this study is to investigate the different swing motion modes of antennae of American cockroach by computer-aided Imaging Analysis. The parameters of each swing motion mode were calculated in order to analyze how light (including light stimulation and light adaptation) and vibration may affect the antennae behavior of American cockroach. It was found that the antennae swing motion modes were significantly different under different types of stimulus. If two types of stimulus occurred at the same time, the reactions of antennae motion may become conformable. In conclusion, antennae behavior has shown to significantly affect the survivability and environmental adaptation of American cockroach. Not only the antennae are considered as the sensitive receivers; but also they are the important transmitters to reflect physiological status and environmental condition.從國中到高中的生物課堂上,我們學到許多有趣的動物行為例子,但前人多以脊椎動物作為研究對象,而我們身旁的許多生物,身體構造雖較為簡單,但行為表現卻豐富多樣,尤其是常見的美洲蟑螂(Periplaneta americana),可說是最親近我們的昆蟲之一。本研究以攝影紀錄的方式,透過電腦進行影像分析,記錄不同刺激下蟑螂的觸角擺動模式,並計算出各項觸角運動的參數,以瞭解光線(照光刺激或照光適應)與震動刺激對其觸角行為的影響。我們發現在不同因子的刺激下,觸角擺動的模式具有差異,若兩種刺激同時發生,蟑螂觸角的行為亦具有整合性的反應,證明蟑螂觸角的行為模式,對其生存與適應具有重要意義。這也代表觸角除了為敏感的受器,亦為能反映出生理與環境狀態的重要動器。
