A new microsporidia (S85) was isolated from the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. in Suwon, Korea in 1985. The electron microscopic observation of the fine structure of the spore was studied for the characterization of the new microsporidia and its taxonomic position. The sporewall was composed of three different electron dense layers and the spore surface was rouph and wrinkled. The polaroplast has two parts which differed in the arrangement of the lamellae. The polarfilament was isofilar with thirteen coils and it was consisted of eight concentric layers of different electron density. The spore contained a single nucleus and the pansporoblast appeared as a thin ballon-like structure surrounding the spore. The membrane was generally smooth and shown occationally wrinkled.

The epithelium of the rectum in the mosquito larvae, Culex pipiens pallens: Culicidae, was observed with electron microscope. The rectum of posterior hindgut was composed of epithelial tissue which were covered with cuticular intima on the luminal side, connective tissue and muscular tissue. The rectal epithelial cells were squamous absorptive cells, and apical plasma membranes were highly folded to form apical infoldings with mitochondria inserted them. The lateral plasma membranes were irregularly infolded and well developed mitochondria were found closely associated with infoldings . And intercellular spaces (or channels) were formed between the epithelial cells, whereas speptate junction was found near the apical zone between them. Also basal plasma membrane were infolded which made basal infoldings ('basal labyrinth'), and were covered with thin basal lamina. Rcetal epithelium was surrounded by the connective tissue which was contained axon and tracheole cells. Connective tissue was covered with the bundles of circular and longitudinal muscles.

Skin aging is the phenomena finally expressed on the skin surface and related to the changes in the microstructure of the skin texture. Which is resulted in wrinkle formation and uneven tone of skin and so on. In this study, the synergy effect of Cedrol and a collagen-derived peptide in type III collagen synthesis was evaluated by in vitro test. The physiological skin state of 22 female volunteers was measured after using the cosmetics for 4 weeks. Results showed that Cedrol and a collagen-derived peptide had the excellent synergy effect in type III collagen synthesis. The cosmetics improved skin microrelief, star configurations, skin gloss, skin tone, hydration and elasticity except skin lightening. In conclusion, this study proved that Cedrol and collagen-derived peptide had the synergy effect of type III collagen synthesis in the cell level and cosmetics with those was improved skin aging in human volunteer test.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method that utilizes the optical scattering and interference for visualizing the surface as well as cross-sectional structures of tissue. OCT has been used for diagnosing diseases in early stage in various medical fields, but an application in cosmetics is still at early stage. In this study, OCT was adopted to evaluate skin texture and wrinkle. Results showed similar patterns of evaluation with PRIMOS in the assessment using replica. In addition, OCT produced smaller errors at different angles compared to the PRIMOS in the assessment using 3-dimensional models of wrinkles. The resolution of the image was also high enough to differentiate the images of before and after the application of makeup products. Possible use of OCT in the evaluation of fine wrinkle assessment was studied in this research. Further development of methods is necessary to provide more evidences of the effectiveness.

A scanning electron microscopic study was performed to observe the surface ultrastructures of the third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma hispidun. The early third-stage larvae (EL3) were collected from the viscera of Chinese loaches by the artificial digestion method . The advanced third-stage larvae (AdL3) were recovered from mice experimentally infected with EL3. Both larval worms were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde, dehydrated in graded alcohol. dryad in critical point dryer, and coated with gold. The specimens were observed with a SEM (DS- l30C). On the head bulb of both larval stage, the mouth had a pair of lateral lips of equal size and of half moon shape. Each lip had a couple of labial papillae and a small amphid located between the two papillae. The hooklets on the head bulb had single-pointed tips and curved posteriorly. The cuticular spines of EL3 were larger and more densely distributed in the anterior area (about 1.8 Mm in length) and gradually decreased in size and number posteriorly. The cuticular spines in the anterior area of AdL3 were sharp-pointed and about 4.5 Mm in length, and those in the middle area were about 1.75 Mm. The velvety cuticular folds and dot-like cuticular spines were distributed in the posterior area. A cervical papilla was located between the 7th and 8th transverse striations. A dome-like body papilla was located at the posterior 1/4 of body. An ellipsoidal excretory pore was located between the 17th and 18th striations. From the above results, it is suggested that the characteristic SEM findings obtained from this study may be helpful on the species identification of larval Gncthostomn.

Four females and a male nematode isolated from 2 patients who visited eye clinics In Seoul were identified as Thelazia callipaeda and their ultrastructures were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). General features of the worms were slender and attenuated at both ends. Vaginal opening was located at 0.27 mm from the anterior end, and in front of the esophagointestinal junction. In the body cuticle transverse striations varied characteristically through the body. The number of cuticular transverse striations was 400∼650/mm at head portion, 250/mm at middle portion and 300∼350/mm at tail portion. The SEM observation of the mouth part of the females showed 6 cord-like cuticular thickenings in hexagonal arrangement and an amphid was observed. A lateral line, a vaginal opening, a pair of phasmids, and an anus were identified in the body portion. A pair of papillae and 6 cord-like cuticular thickenings were on the mouth part of the male. It was difficult to observe structures at the tail of the male except wrinkle-like structures. Most of the larvae isolated from the uterus of a female worm were sheathed and thus cuticular striations were not Eren. Others were unsheathed and revealed cuticular striations. The oval membrane which encysted sheathed larvae was also observed. These are the 18th and 19th record of human thelaziasis in Korea as the literature are concerned.

동양달팽이(Nesiohelix samarangae)의 자성생식기 중 정자낭(spermatheca)의 미세구조를 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 성체의 정자낭의 내강에서는 정자와 이와 관련된 물질들 또는 상피로부터의 분비물질들이 관찰되었다. 정자낭의 내강을 둘러싸고 있는 벽의 상피는 단층원주상피로서 내강과 연한 세포의 원형질막은 미세융모를 가지고 있었으며 섬모는 가지고 있지 않았다. 이 미세융모들의 기부에서는 고배율 하에서 pinocytotic vesicle들이 관찰되었고 때로 세포의 분비물을 세포 밖으로 방출하는 모습도 관찰되었다. 세포들의 상부세포질에는 많은 수의 mitochondria가 있었고, 때로 분비과립과 lysosomd들이 존재하기도 하였다. 이들보다 아래에는 잘 발달한 골지체와 과립소포체(RER)들이 있었다. 이 부위에서 분비과립들이 많이 형성되어 있는 모습이 세포에 따라 관찰되었고, 그 아래에 즉, 각 세포의 하반부 세포질에 상하로 긴 핵이 관찰되었다. 세포의 기부 원형질막은 상부 세포질 내로 깊게 그리고 수없이 많이 주름을 이루고 있어 인접한 세포와의 경계를 구분할 수 없을 정도였다. 기저막의 아래에는 근육다발과 색소세포들이 결합조직 내에서 관찰되었고, 정자낭의 외막은 큰 액포로 인하여 세포질들이 원형질막 주변으로 밀려나 있는 특이한 세포들로 이루어져 있었다. 정자낭의 기능은 정자를 일시 저장하며 정자낭 상피에서 분비되는 소화액들로 정자를 일차적으로 세포외 소화하고 소화되지 않은 물질들을 흡수하여 이차적으로 세포내소화하는 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, micro-speakers have attracted much attention due to their increasing demand in mobile devices. Micro-speakers use polymer diaphragms, which are manufactured from thin polymer film by the thermoforming process. The diaphragm is generally designed to be a circular membrane with a cross section consisting of a double dome structure, and a number of corrugations are located in the outer region to produce better sound quality. In the current study, a finite element (FE) analysis is performed for thermoforming, and the resulting thickness reduction in the corrugation regions is estimated. The estimated thickness distribution is used in further structural and modal FE analyses, from which the effects of local thickness reduction on the stiffness and vibration characteristics are determined.

분할 맵 기반 얼굴 합성 분야의 기존 연구들은 피부 영역을 하나의 라벨로 취급한다. 이는 피부 내 미세한 요소를 표현하지 못하며 고해상도 영상 합성 성능 부족이라는 결과를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 분할 맵에 주름, 모공, 홍조와 같은 피부 요소를 추가하여 이로부터 얼굴 영상을 합성하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존 분할 맵 기반 영상 합성 연구에 제안하는 기법을 적용하여 정량적 및 정성적 비교를 통해 성능이 개선됨을 보인다.
