서식수 염분농도의 변화에 따른 guppy(Poecilia reticulotus) 아가미 상피내 염소세포(chloride cell)의 미세구조적 변화를 전자현미경으로 관찰하고, 특히 증가하는 염분농도에 따라 주요변화를 보여주는 염소세포내 미토콘드리아와 tubular system의 면적을 영상 분석기로 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 염소세포는 주로 guppy 아가미궁의 일차 총판상피에 위치하는데 담수에서는 하나씩 독립적으로 존재하며 자유면이 apical pit를 형성하여 외부환경에 노출되는 반면. 서식수의 염분농도가 증가하면 여러개의 염소세포들이 다세포복합체를 형성하고 이 세포들의 자유면이 함께 하나의 apical pit를 구성하게 된다. 서식수의 염분농도가 증가함에 따라 염소세포내의 미토콘드리아와 tubular system은 점점 더 조밀하게 분포하는 것으로 관찰되었다 염소세포의 단위면적당 미토콘드리아가 차지하는 면적은 서식수가 담수(0%의 염분농도)인 경우는 24$\pm$5%였고, 1%에서는 26$\pm$5%, 2%에서는 33$\pm$7% 그리고 해수(3.2% 염분농도)에 적응된 경우는 42$\pm$7%로 담수환경의 것과 비교하여 약 18%까지 증가하였다 또한 염소세포의 측면과 기저측 세포막 함입의 결과로 형성되는 tubular system은 세포의 단위면적당 차지하는 면적이 담수에 적응된 개체들에서 38$\pm$9%였고 서식환경의 염분농도에 따라 점차 증가하다가 해수에서는 61$\pm$9%로 약 16%까지 높아졌다.

The morphogenesis of the marine ciliate, Pelagostrobilidium simile Song and Bradbury, 1998, was investigated using pyridine silver carbonate impregnation. The morphogenesis of P. simile is of hypoapokinetal mode. The oral primordium of P. simile commences slightly below the external membranelles (EM) with the proliferation of an anarchic field. Somatic ciliature in proter and opisthe of P. simile are derived from the old structure with the proliferation of the basal bodies during the dividing process. Parental oral apparatus of P. simile is inherited by the proter, and no reorganization of oral apparatus was observed in the parental oral infraciliature.

In this study, the optimum design conditions of a polymer electrolyte membrane for application to a flexible electrochromic device (ECD) were tried to be derived. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) with excellent adhesive property and transparency was selected as the base polymer for the preparation of the electrolyte membrane, and adipate-based polymer was used as the plasticizer. As a result, it was confirmed that the most influential factors on the ECD performance were the ionic conductivity and permeability of the electrolyte membrane. In addition, it was found that the factor has a close relationship with the dissociation property of the lithium salt. Overall, the optimal ECD performance was achieved when LiTFSI salt having a large anion size among various lithium salts was dissolved in a content of about 25 wt.%.

생쥐를 48시간 동안 결식시킨 후 유문결찰하여 급성미란을 유발시키고 미란형성부의 점막 내위선을 구성하는 각 세포의 구조변화와 IgA 분비세포의 분포를 관찰하였다. 미란부 점액분포의 변화는 표면상피의 손상 정도가 심해질수록 경계부의 PAS양성반응은 감소되었으며 중심부에서는 표면상피의 소실로 인하여 PAS 양성반응이 관찰되지 않았다. Glycocalyx 관찰을 위한 ruthenium red 반응에서도 경계부의 상피세포 손상이 심해짐에 따라 정단세포막 상층에 나타나는 양성반응은 감소되었고 측면과 기저면의 양성반응은 관찰되지 않은 것으로 보아 세포 손상시 tight junction은 파괴되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 미란경계부의 미세구조변화로서, 상피세포는 손상이 진행될수록 세포질이 용해되어 공포가 형성되고 핵응축 및 정 단세포질의 점액원과립의 소실이 관찰되었으나 tight junction은 유지되었다. 반면에 점액경세포는 점액원과립의 수가 증가되고 조면소포체가 종창되어 있었다. 미란의 경계부와 중심부에서 벽세포는 다수의 소포가 출현한 후 세포내세관이 종창되었으며 그 후에 mitochondria가 파괴되었고 주세포는 주변의 벽세포가 커지면서 가장자리로 밀려나 크기가 정상보다 작아지고 조면소포체와 mitochondria가 종창을 나타내었다. IgA분비세포는 점막이 파괴된 미란부 점막하조직의 혈관 주변에 다수 존재하는 형질세포에서 확인되었다.

We described the first record of Callogobius shunkan from Korea, based on two specimens (54.9~66.1 mm in standard length) collected from the southern coastal waters of Jejudo Island. These specimens were characterized by prominent papillae ridges on the head, including postnasal and postorbital rows, well-developed pelvic frenum, dark brownish head, scattered whitish flecks on the body, and three blackish spots on the basal portion of dorsal fins. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ju-reum-mang-dug" for the species.

$In_2O_3$-based thin film sensor with 500-600 nm thick was fabricated for the detection of CO gas by rf magnetron sputtering. In order to improve both sensitivity to CO gas and selectivity to hydrogen gas containing -CH, ultra-thin transition metal Co catalyst was sputtered over $In_2O_3$ thin film and annealed at $500^{\circ}C$. Sensitivity to CO was maximum at the thickness of Co 2.1 nm and $300^{\circ}C$, and that to $C_3H_8$ was at the thickness of Co 1.4 nm and $350-400^{\circ}C$. From the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result, ultra-thin Co was existed into CoO covered with $Co_2O_3$ on $In_2O_3$ particles, and thus p-n junction of $In_2O_3(n-type)$-CoO(p-type) was thought to be formed. In this p-n junction type sensors, sensing mechanism with reducing gases can be explained by the variation of depletion layer thickness formed in the interface.

The present study was designed to demonstrate ionic zinc in the rat nasal mucosa by means of zinc selenium autometallography ($ZnSe^{AMG}$). Rats were given sodium selenide either intraperitoneally (i.p) or intranasally (i.n). Prior to the i.n. administration the rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg, i.p.). A thin plastic tube coupled to a Hamilton syringe was then inserted into the right nostril and $10{\mu}l$ of the solution was instilled. For the i.p. administration non-anesthetized rats were given $100{\mu}l$ of the sodium selenide solution (10 mg/kg). Control rats were instilled with saline. After 2 hrs survival, the rats were anaesthetized and transcardially perfused with 3% glutaraldehyde. The olfactory area was removed and put into same fixative. The nose was then sectioned ($30{\mu}m$) horizontally, autometallography (AMG) was performed according to Danscher et al. (1997). After silver enhancement, fine AMG grains were scattered in the whole length of the olfactory epithelium containing olfactory receptor neurons, sustentacular and basal cells. However, much higher concentration of the AMG grains occupied near the surface and in the basal region of the olfactory epithelium. Both groups of i.p. and i.n. administration showed almost same level in the concentration of the AMG grains. In i.n. group, few AMG grains were also found in olfactory nerves of the lamina propria, suggesting zinc transport into the olfactory bulb via olfactory axons. At the electron microscopic level, the AMG grains were most entirely found in the supporting cells of the olfactory epithelium, and they were mostly localized in lysosome-like organelles. The i.n. group showed various signs of tissue damage of the olfactory mucosa, where dense concentration of AMG grains were localized at crystalloid structures. The present study demonstrated dense population of ionic zinc in the rat olfactory epithelium. zinc may play a role in the olfactory functioin and in the pathogenesis of the neurodegerative disorders affecting nose.

Naturally beared larvae obtained from female fish kept in the aquarium were reared for 45 days in the laboratory. The naturally beared larvae were 3.19 mm in average total length (TL) with 9+15~16=24~25 myomeres. Melanophores were distributed on the dorsal margin of intestine tube, ventral margins of the tail and around the oil globule, but none on the top of head and on the pectoral fins. The larva (3.35 mm TL) consumed all yolk and oil globule in 5 days after bearing, and jaw bones and clavicle began to be ossified rapidly. In 22 days after bearing, the larvae averaged 6.30 mm TL and the caudal notochord flex $45^{\circ}C$. Fin development in S. marmoratus larvae proceeds in the following sequence : caudal, pectoral, dorsal, anal and ventral fin.

Type II membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (Dense deposit disease) is an acquired primary glomerular disease characterized by electron microscopic evidence of a continuous dense membrane deposition replacing the lamina densa. It is a subtype of idiopathic membra- noproliferative glomerulonephritis, and was described as a separate entity by Berger and Galle in 1963. It frequently occurs in older chilren and young adults and the clinical course is variable, but is generally progressive. The presenting feature is nephrotic syndrome in many patients, and proteinuria and hematuria are also seen frequently. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of DDD (Dense deposit disease) from a 10 year old boy who was diagnosed as a acute poststreptococcal glomurulonephritis with protenuria, hematuria, and facial edema by renal biopsy 4 years ago.

2-Bromopropane, important industrial chemical, specially in electronic industry at Yangsan in Korea has been reported to cause amenorrhea for female and azoospermia, oligozoospermia or reduced sperm motility for male. 2-BP was investigated through 21 days of repeated dose in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The dose levels per body weight were 0 (control), 250,500 and 1,000 mg/kg. 2-BP dissolved in vehicle olive oil was injected into the intraperitoneum 6 times per week for 3 weeks, but 1,000 mg/kg dose group was 2 weeks because of serious illness. Male rats showed significant decreases in body weight and right and left testis showed typical weight losses depending on the 2-BP. The number of white blood cell and red blood cell , percentage of monocytes, and hemoglobin decreased significantly in high dose (P< 0.05). Red cell volume distribution width increased significantly in the high dose (P< 0.05). Histopathological findings of testes showed a decrease of spermatogenic cells, exfoliation of spermatid and spermatocyte, vacuolization of Sertoli cells and hyperplasia of Leydig cells. Protein band density between 113,000 dalton ($\beta$-galactosidase) and 53,900 dalton (ovalbumin) has decreased in 250 mg/kg dose group, but it has gradually increased to the higher density in 1,000 mg/kg dose group than in control group.
