만성 B형 간염 환자에서 Interferon (IFN) 치료 후 혈청 HBeAg 소실 및 anti-HBe의 양전율을 높이고 효율적인 치료의 근거를 알기 위하여 치료 전 간기능검사상 갑자기 상승한 혈청 ALT치를 나타낸 환자군과 그렇지 않은 대조군을 대상으로 하여 IFN을 투여한 군과 IFN 치료없이 정상 HBeAg의 자연 소실을 보인 환자군을 임상적으로 장기간 관찰하고 조사하였다. ALT치가 정상 상한치의 4배 이상 높이 증가되어 3개월 이상 왕복을 보인 40명의 환자(A군)와 ALT치가 정상 상한치의 3배 이하로 증가된 10명(B군)에게 ${\alpha}$-IFN 2b를 매일 300만 단위 피하주사로 3~12개월 주사하였다. 대조군으로는 ALT치가 A군처럼 장승한 45명 (C군)이었으며, IFN 치료없이 평균 2.9년을 관찰하였다. HBeAg/anti-HBe 혈청 양전율은 A군 68%, B군 20%, C군 13%이었으며 IFN 치료 중단 후 1년까지의 HBeAg 재양성율은 A군에서 29%였고 HBeAg이 소실된 A와 B군의 38명중에서 6명에서 HBV DNA가 양성이었다. 6명중 4명은 HBeAg/anti-HBe 양전을 보였으나 HBV DNA 양성이었고 나머지 2명은 HBeAg, anti-HBe 및 HBV DNA (hybridization) 모두 음성이었으나 중합효소연쇄반응검사상 HBV DNA 양성이었다. 이상의 결과를 보면 비록 IFN 치료 후에 HBeAg이 소실되었다가 다시 양성화되더라도 IFN은 단기간내에 혈중 HBeAg이나 DNA가 자연적으로 감소가 될 환자나 그렇지 않은 환자에게도 HBV의 비증식화를 유발하여 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 IFN 투여 후에도 혈중 HBeAg과 DNA 소실에 전혀 도움이 되지 않을 환자 및 HBV 증식 억제효과가 기대되는 HBV 간질환 환자의 조건, IFN 투여량, 기간 등에 대한 계획적이고 체계적인 연구로 더 나은 치료효과를 기대할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Remodeling of epithelial cells during wound healing in the skin of the Korean fire-bellied toad, Bombina orientalis, were examined using the scanning and transmission electron microscopical analyses. Artificial wounds were induced on the dorsal surface of the skin by excision, and reared in special cages with normal diets for up to 31 days after injury. From 4 days after wounding, regenerated epithelial cells are more rapidly migrated to wounding area, and remodeling of tissue components are proceeded gradually. Especially, formation of basal lamina between regenerated epithelium and dermis, and reconstruction of cellular junctions such as desmosomes (among the regenerated epithelial cells) and hemidesmosomes (between basal epithelial cells and basal lamina) are detected through fine structural analysis from 10 days after injury. Parakeratosis of regenerated epithelial cells observed during 16 to 19 days after wounding.

Purpose : The protective effects of dietary protein on the progression of renal failure were studied in subtotally nephrectomized rats. Methods : Treatment groups were as follows; 5/6 nephrectomy and a normal protein ($18.5\%$) diet (NP); 5/6 nephrectomy and a low protein ($6\%$) diet (LP): 5/6 nephrectomy, a normal protein diet and converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril (NPE): 5/6 nephrectomy, a low protein diet and enalapril (LPE). Both diets were isocaloric and had the same phosphorus content. Proteinuria, remnant kidney weight, mesangial matrix expansion score and glomerular volume were assessed at 4, 12 and 16 weeks after renal ablation. Results : LP and NP developed progressive hypertension. Eight weeks after surgery, LPE and NPE controlled hypertension. LP, LPE, and NPE had significantly less proteinuria than NP at 16 weeks (P<0.05). Kidney weight in LP were markedly less enlarged than NP (P<0.05). There was no difference in kidney weight between LPE and NPE. At 12 and 16 weeks the mesangial matrix expansion score was significantly less in LP, LPE, and NPE compared to NP (P<0.05). At 12 and 16 weeks mean glomerular volume was significantly less in LP compared to NP (P<0.05). At 12 and 16 weeks mean glomerular volume in LPE was significantly less compared to NPE. Conclusion : Dietary protein restriction afforded considerable protection from renal injury in the rat remnant kidney model. During the enalapril treatment, there was no additional protective effect of dietary protein restriction against the development of renal lesions.

Lower leaves of aromatic tobacco are also much lower in Quality than upper leaves. So feasibility test of no harvesting and curing of lower leaves was conducted under high planting density and high nitrogen conditions with conventional cultural system. Effect of harvesting time on yield and Quality were investigated under 2 nitrogen levels. Among harvesting methods of conventional harvest with priming under high planting density, no-harvest of first priming, removal of lower leaves which relevant to first prime stalk before maturity, no-harvest of first and second priming. no-harvesting or pruning of first prime stalk before maturity was best in yield, price and in crude income. The shortor the harvest period became, the lower the yield, price and contents of reducing sugar and nicotine became, but reverse in this trends with total nitrogen and protein nitrogen. So 6 or 8 days interval of harvest is most recommendable.

This study was prospectively designed to determine the physiologic effects of normothermic CPB and to compare its influences with hypothermic CPB. Material and Method: Thirty-six adult patients scheduled for el­ective cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to moderate hypothermic (hypothermic group nasopharyngeal tem­perature $26\~28^{\circ}C,\;n=18)$ ornormothermic (normothermic group, nasopharyngeal temperature > $35.5^{\circ}C\;n=18)$ CPB. Arterial blood samples were taken before CPB (Pre-CPB), 10 minutes after the start of CPB (CPB-10), and imme­diately after CPB stop (CPB-off) for determining total leukocyte counts, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), interleukin-6 (IL-6), endothelin-1 (ET-1), cortisol, troponin I (TNI), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the pulmonary index $(Pi,\;PaO_{2}/FiO_{2}),$Other parameters such as urine output, mechanical ventilating period, ICU-staying period, postoperative complications and hospitalized days were also evaluated. Result: Total leukocyte counts, increased rate in NSE, in IL-6 and in cortisol at CPB-10 and CPB-off were significantly higher in normothermic group than in hyphothermic group. Urine output during CPB was lower in normothermic group than in hyphothermic group. The duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU-stay, and hospitalization were longer in normothermic group than in hyphothermic group. Conclusion: These findings sug­gested that normothermic CPB caused higher inflammatory and stress responses than hypothermic CPB during car­diac surgery using cold crystalloid cardioplegia. However, further studies with large number of cases should be carried out to validate this hypothesis.

This paper proposes the method that detects abnormal trajectory of fish with tracking data. And it is obtained by automatic tracking system based on conventional computer vision. Also, we analyze the trajectory using subband frequency features through DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform). Through experimental results, we confirm that our results have some statistical means. The proposed method demonstrates that DWT is useful method for detecting presence of toxicoid features in environment as for an alternative of bio-monitoring tool.

The function and performance test of the developed sub-system should be conducted before integrating into the total system. For the successful achievement of the flight test, the integration tests of sub-systems must be performed to eliminate and prevent abnormal conditions, which may happen due to ground problems, Electro-Magnetic Interference noises, and so on. This paper describes the certification test procedure and results for the roll axis attitude control system of Korea Sounding Rocket-III.

비단백태 질소화합물의 가금에서의 이용 가능성은 오래 전부터 많은 사람들의 관심의 대상이 되어 있었다. Urea나 Diammonium Citrate같은 NPN들이 부로일러에서 비필항 아미노산들의 공급을 목적으로 이용될 수 있다는 많은 증거들이 있다. 그 mechanism 은 이들에 의해 공급되는 ammonia가 $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid에 결합되어 glutamic acid가 되어 체내에서 transamination 방법에 의해 비필수 아미노산들의 합성에 기여할 수 있다는 것이다. 산란에서도 마찬가지 방법으로 이용될 수 있으나 육계에선 보다는 이용 효율이 낮다고 한다. 비단백태 질소 화합물의 급여가 사료섭취량에 영향을 주고, 산란율을 저하시키며 란중을 적게하는 원인이 되나 albumin의 질을 높인다는 장점도 보고되고 있다. 이들 화합물이 가중에서 효율적으로 이용되기 위해서는 사료내 단백질 수준이 정상보다 낮아야 하며 철수 아미노산을 충분히 함유하고 있어야 한다 장차 단백질 자원의 부족 현상이 더욱 심각해질 것을 예상할 때 비단백태 질소 화합물의 가축에서의 이용성을 높이는 연구는 매우 중요하다.

전동차용 견인전동기 시스템은 저항 및 쵸퍼 제어에 의한 직류 전동기 방식에서 인버터 제어에 의한 유도전동기 방식으로 발전하였다. 오늘날 유도전동기 기술은 어느 정도 성숙기에 접어들었지만 최근에는 소음 제거, 효율 극대화 및 유지보수 비용 절감 등의 이점이 있는 감속기를 제거한 직접 구동용 영구자석 전동기가 새로이 각광받고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자기적 포화특성이 심한 영구자석 전동기를 대상으로 비선형 수치 해석 기법을 적용하여 운전조건별 특성해석 및 설계기술에 대해 나타내었다.
