Secretion efficiency is generally affected by promoter, signal sequence, characteristics of foreign protein and host. Secretion efficiencies of glucoamylase in recombinant plasmid-harboring yeast and chromosome-integrated yeast which had STA signal sequences were 74% and 65% at the 4th day of incubation, respectively. The high secretion efficiencies of the yeasts were obtained due to the fact that the expression levels were not reached at the secretory apparatus capacities of the host yeasts. In both yeasts, most of the intracellular glucoamylase were detected in cytoplasm and small portion (below 10%) of glucoamylase were located in periplasm. The characteristics of secreted heterologous glucoamylase from recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiaes were investigated by using Western blot analysis. The secreted mature glucoamylase was heterogeneous and its molecular weight was about 200 to 300 kilodalton. The carbohydrate content of mature glucoamylase was higher than 80%, and several bands of about 55 to 65 kilodalton indicate the endoplasmic reticulum forms of intracellular glucoamylase.

Background: Tracheal reconstruction after extended tracheal resection still remains as a major surgical challenge because good clinical outcomes are usually correlated with limited tracheal resection. Recent investigations with a using cryopreserved trachea for the reconstruction of a trachea have been carried out to overcome this problem. In this study, we analyzed viability of tracheas, which is an important determining factor for the success of transplanting a cryopreserved trachea and the development of post-transplantation tracheal stenosis, according to three different experimental factors: 1) the warm-ischemic time, 2) the cryopreservation solution and 3) the preserving temperature, to determine a better cryopreservation protocol and a better composition of the cryopreservation solution. Material and Method: Rats tracheas were harvested for different warm-ischemic times (0 hr, 12 hrs, 24 hrs). The tracheas were treated with recombinant insulin growth factor-1 (IGF) and they were stored at three different temperatures $(4^{\circ}C,\;-80^{\circ}C,\;-196^{\circ}C)$ for two weeks. After two weeks, we thawed the stored trachea and isolated the cells of the tracheas with using type II collagenase. We cultured the cells for seven days and then we compared the cellular viability by the MTT reduction assay. Result: Though cryopreservation is required to preserve a trachea for a longer time period, the viability of the tracheas stored at $-80^{\circ}C$ and $-196^{\circ}C$ was significantly reduced compared to that of the tracheas stored at $4^{\circ}C$. The viability of the tracheas with warm-ischemic times of 12 hrs and 24 hrs was also reduced in comparison to the tracheas with a warm-ischemic time of 0 hrs. Our data showed that the warm ischemic time and the parameters of crypreservation negatively affect on trachea viability. However, a cryopresrvation solution containing IGF-1 improved the cellular viability better than the existing cryopreservation solution. For the warm ischemic time group of a 0 hr, the addition of IGF-1 improved the viability of trachea at all the preserving temperatures. Conclusion: These experiments demonstrate that the viability of cryopreserved trachea can improved by modifying the components of the crypreservation solution with the addition of IGF-1 and reducing the warm-ischemic time.

The importance regarding the notion of immediate medical treatment and nursing for the victims of sexual crimes is not widely recognized yet in Korea. Throughout this research is focused on the nursing systems and the system of foreign countries in reference to sexual crime victims, and the conclusion is as follows. In Korea, there are currently no educational or medical institutes for the medical handling for the victims of sexual crimes, and the role of nurses in the medical institutes is insufficient. In addition, the basis for the standard of operation regarding the initial response, evidence collection, pursuit of systematical evidence and data is not established even in the sexual assault counseling/advocacy center. Therefore, it is necessary to foster the sexual assault nurse examiner for the sexual crime victims, and to develop adequate training programs based on the present situation in Korea. Though the cooperation among government, medical institutes, and social movement groups, it is essential to initiate effective and publicly-trusted specialized training programs for forensic nurses who will be fully charged with the treatment of sexual crime victims. By introducing the sexual assault nurse examiner system, it can be possible to develop advanced treatment for the child or adolescent victims of sex crimes.

Otitis media with effusion, described first by Politzer (1867), is closely related with the function of auditory tube, but its etiology and pathogenesis are not clearly defined yet. There are many theories about its pathogenesis including hydrops ex vacuo theory which was most reliable nowadays. In this paper, using cats in experimental animals, hydrops ex vacuo theory was proved and cytological study of the effusion and light microscopic observation of the middle ear mucosa in otitis media with effusion were done. The results were as follows: 1) The effusion was found in all experimental groups after eighteen hours of the auditory tube obstruction. 2) In the cytological study of effusion by smear technic, Polymorpholeukocytes were dominant in earlier days but monoculear cells were soon increased and no eosinophils were found. 3) In the culture of the effusion, no bacteria was cultured. 4) By opeating microscope, hypertrophy of the middle ear mucosa observed especially in the fourteen days after auditory tube obstruction and effusion was most remarkable in the fourteen days, also. 5) By light microscopy, there were epithelial hyperplasia, proliferation of goblet cells, capillaries and infiltration of inflammatory cells which showed same distribution as smear technic.

Purpose : Loss of hippocampal interneurons in dentate gyrus has been reported in patients with severe temporal lobe epilepsy and in animals treated with kainic acid(KA). Interneurons contain $Ca^{2+}$- binding protein parvalbumin(PV). The effects of kainic acid on parvalbumin-immunoreactive (PV-IR) interneurons in dentate gyrus were investigated in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. Methods : Cultured hippocampal slices from postnatal day nine C57/BL6 mice were exposed to $10{\mu}M$ KA, and were observed at 0, 8, 24, 48, 72 hours after a one hour KA exposure. Neuronal injury was determined by morphologic changes of PV-IR interneuron in dentate gyrus. Results : Transient(1 hour) exposure of hippocampal explant cultures to KA produced marked varicosities in dendrites of PV-IR interneuron in dentate gyrus and the shaft of interbeaded dendrite is often much thinner than those in control. The presence of varicosities in dendrites was reversible with KA washout. The dendrites of KA treated explants were no longer beaded at 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after KA exposure. The number of cells in PV-IR interneurons in dentate gyrus was decreased at 0, 8 hours after exposure. But there was no significant difference in 24, 48 and 72 hours recovery group compared with control group. Conclusion : The results suggested that loss of PV-IR interneurons in dentate gyrus is transient, and is not accompanied by PV-IR interneuronal cell death.

In order to investigate the micropropagation of Pelargonium, 2 cultivars of P. peltatum 'Pouletta' and P. zonale 'Pinto Red' were cultured in vitro on the MS basal medium supplemented with various concentrations of growth regulators. It attempted to study the induction of callus and the differentiation of organs from leaf disc, petiole segments, stem segments. hypocotyle segments and flower stalk segments. The results are summarized as follows; A. As for the initiation of callus, stem explant was proved to be the most suitable one among various explants of P. zonale 'Pinto Red'. The medium was supplemented with 1.0mg/1 BAP and 1.0mg/1 NAA. As NAA concentration increased, callus formation was enhanced, but higher concentration of NAA inhibited callus fromation. Leaf and hypocotyle explants showed less callus formation than stem and petiole explants. B. In P. zonale 'Pinto Red' petiole culture, the condition of cullus culture such as hormone concentration resulted in affecting shoots differentiation. The best result of shoots formation from the callus reculture were obtained from the combination of 0.5-1.0mg/1 BAP and 0.1-1.0mg/1 NAA when the callus was cultured in 1.0mg/1 BAP and 0.05mg/1 NAA. When the callus was cultured in medium without BAP, the shoot was not differentiated in subculture regardless to BAP and NAA concentration. and only callus was formed. C. Poly-phenol substance was observed in MS medium supplemented without PVP, in which callus was not formed from the leaf of P. peltatum 'Rouletta'. Polyphenol substance was not observed in MS medium supplemented with PVP, in which callus formation was increased. D. The callus formation of P. peltatum 'Rouletta' showed the stem explant being best result. The best result particularly in the stem explant among others. The optimal hormonal concentration was 0.1mg/1 NAA and 5.0mg/1 BAP. The shoot formation was observed at 0.05mg/1 NAA and 1.0mg/1 BAP, 0.1mg/1 NAA and 5.0mg/1 BAP. The shoot was malformed and the tissue recultured turned necrotic.

Plantlets were regenerated from various explants (shoot tip, leaf blade, petiole and root segments) via organogenesis and/or somatic embryogenesis from Armoracia rusticana(Lam) Gaerth., Mey, et Scherb.. Shoot regeneration rate from callus was highest on the MS mediums supplemented with 0.5 ㎎/L IAA, 5.0㎎/L BA and 10.0㎎/L spermine. A Low frequency of regeneration occurred on hormone-free MS medium. Multiple shooks were regenerated at a pH of 4.0 to 8.0 on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 ㎎/L BA and 0.1 ㎎/L NAA. Polyamines promoted shoot- and root-formation by 2 to 4 times normal, Specific proteins associated with organogenesis were identified. Somatic embryogenesis occurred directly from the leaf blade, petiole and root segments cultured on MS medium with 2.0 ㎎/L BA and 2.0 ㎎/L BA and 2.0 ㎎/L NAA. Three types of regeneration in A, rusticana were clearly established, which could be applied to the study of morphogenesis and genetics at cell, tissue and organ levels.
