To evaluate the biocompatibility of untreated and anodized titanium specimens, the specimens were implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal region of female mice for two weeks. The reaction of connective tissue to specimens was histologically studied. The implants were encapsulated by fibrous connective. tissue consisting of fibroblast, fibrocyte and other cellss including neutroophil, macrophage and giant multinucleated cell. some newly formed blood vessels were located in the fibrous capsule surrounding the implant. Giant multinucleated cells were observed at the fibrous capsule adjacent to the implant. Kind of cell types and the thickness of fibrous capsules were examined quantitatively. Most of cell types located in the fibrous capsule were fibroblast and fibrocyte. The average thickness of fibrous capsules for the anodized specimens was much thinner than that of the untreated titanium specimen. Biocompatibility of titanium specimens were also studied by using cell culture method. The number of MG-63 cells was significantly increased on the anodized titanium specimens in vitro experiment. Our observations suggest that anodized titanium specimens are more effective for the improvement of biocompatibility in vivo and in vitro.

렉틴(Lectins)은 세포막의 당단백질의 과당류 말단기에 특이적으로 결합하는 비면역성의 당단백질 혹은 단백질을 말하는데 정상세포와 변형된 세포에서 렉틴반응의 차이가 남으로써 요즘에는 렉틴을 병리학적 진단에 이용 가능하게 되었다. “Loss of contact inhibition”은 세포 악성화의 중요한 특징으로 세포의 악성화는 세포막의 구조의 변화와 관계가 있을 것으로 알려져 왔으며 1989년 후두암에서 PNA의 반응이 양성 반응을 나타낸다고 보고되어 저자들은 7가지의 렉틴을 이용하여 후두암전구증의 하나인 후두각화증에서 이형성(Atypia)의 존재유무에 따른 렉틴 반응의 변화를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 이형성이 없는 단순 후두각화증에서는 Con A와 WGA만이 기저세포에 반응이 있었으며, 후두각화증의 가장 중요한 부위인 극세포층에서는 WGA, RCA-I, PNA, SBA, UEA-I, DBA가 세포질에는 반응이 없이 세포간교에만 염색이 되는것을 관찰할 수 있었고 Con A는 반대로 극세포층의 세포질에 반응을 하였으나 세포간교에는 반응이 없었다. 2. 이형성을 동반한 후두각화증에서, 기저세포에서는 반응의 차이가 없었고 극세포층에서는 UEA-I, RCA-I. WGA, PNA, SBA는 세포간교에서 반응이 나타나지 않았고 세포질에서 양성 반응을 관찰 할 수 있었으며 DBA, Con-A에서는 반응의 차이를 관찰 할 수 없었다. 따라서 후두각화증의 극세포층 세포막에서 UEA-I, RCA-I, WGA, PNA, SBA 반응의 소실은 후두암으로의 진행과 밀접한 관계가 있는 이형성의 존재를 암시한다하겠다.

The effect on active transport of $K^+$ and $Na^+$ of cell membrane model which irradiated by radiation was investigated. The cell membrane model used in this experiment was a $Na^+$ type sulfonated copolymerized membrane of styrene and divinylbenezene. The initial flux of the ion was increased with increase of both $H^+$ ion concentration. In this experiment range(pH $0.5^{-3}$), the initial flux of $K^+$ which was not irradiated by radiation was found to be from $7.9{\times}10^{-4}$ to $7.49{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$ and that of Na+ from $10.6{\times}10^{-4}$ to $7.68{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$. The initial flux of $K^+$ which was irradiated by radiation was found to be from $35.0{\times}10^{-4}$ to $42.4{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$ and that of $Na^+$ from $52.0{\times}10^{-4}$ to $43.3{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$. The membrane was selective for $K^+$ and the ratio $K^+/Na^+$ was about 1.10. And the driving force of pH of irradiated membrane was significantly increased about 4-5 times than membrane which was not irradiated. As active transport of $K^+$ and $Na^+$ of cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.

In opsonized zymosan activated PMN leukocytes, N-ethylamleiamide and $Hg^{++}$, penetrable sulfhydryl group inhibitors, inhibited superoxide generation, NADPH oxidase activity and lysosomal enzyme (lactic dehydrogenase and ${\beta}-glucuronidase$) secretion. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid, surface sulfhydryl group inhibitors did not affect superoxide generation but effectively inhibited both NADPH oxidase activity and lysosomal enzyme secretion. During phagocytosis, contents of surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups were gradually decreased with increasing incubation times. N-ethylmaleiamide and $Hg^{++}$ caused a loss of both surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid significantly decreased the surface sulfhydryl content but did not after soluble sulfhydryl groups. Cysteine and mercaptopropionylglycine inhibited superoxide generation and lysosomal enzyme secretion. Glutathione had no effect on superoxide generation but remarkably inhibited lactic dehydrogenase release. Suppression of superoxide generation by N-ethylmaleiamide was reversed by cysteine and mercaptopropionyl-glycine but not by glutathione. Inactivation of NADPH oxidase by N-ethylmaleiamide was prevented by glutathione, cysteine or mercaptopropionylglycine. Stimulated superoxide generaion by carbachol was completely abolished by N-ethylrnaleiamide and antagonized by atropine. Thus, the expression of PMN leukocyte response to external stimuli may be associated with the change of sulfhydryl groups content. It is suggested that lysosomal enzyme secretion is influenced by both surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups, whereas superoxide generation by intracellular soluble sulfhydryl groups.

The initial co-transport and counter-transport permeate transport characteristics of calcium ion at epithelial cell membrane model in parathyroid which irradiated by high energy x-ray(linac 6 MV) was investigated. The epithelial cell membrane model used in this experiment was a polysulfonated copolymerized membrane of poly(PS-DVB: polystyrene-divinylbenzene). The difference of sorbed water in membrane, fixed carrier concentration(SO₃^2-), initial pH value, OH^- concentration were occurred at difference of Ca²⁺concentration and quantity of parathyroid hormone, respectively. The initial co-transport and counter-transport permeate flux of Cl^-, OH^-, Ca²⁺ on fixed carrier concentration(SO₃^2-) and initial pH value of irradiated membrane was found to be decreased than non-irradiated membrane. The initial co-transport and counter-transport permeate flux of Ca²⁺ on fixed carrier concentration (SO₃^2-), initial pH value, OH^- concentration in irradiated membrane were found to be decreased about 2.68 ~ 6.87 times, about 1.42 ~ 1.63 times, about 2.07 ~ 1.672 times than non-irradiated membrane, respectively. As a result, the quantity of parathyroid hormone was decreased at irradiated membrane than non-irradiated membrane. The decrease of parathyroid hormone was occurred at hypoparathyroidism and osteoporosis, parathyroiditis, and so on. As the parathyroid hormone in epithelial cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.

The active transport characteristics of $K^+$ and $Na^+$ pumping system of cell membrane model which irradiated by high energy x-ray(linac 6MeV) was investigated. The cell membrane model used in this experiment was a $Na^+$ type sulfonated copolymerized membrane of styrene and divinylbenezene. The initial flux of the ion was increased with increase of both $H^+$ ion concentration. In this experiment range(pH 1.5-5, temperature $36.5^{\circ}C$), the initial flux of $K^+$ which was not irradiated by radiation was found to be from $2.09{\times}10^{-4}$ to $1.32{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$ and that of $Na^+$ from $7.09{\times}10^{-4}$ to $1.09{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$. the initial flux of $K^+$ which was irradiated by radiation was found to be from $21.0{\times}10^{-4}$ to $16.7{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$ and that of $Na^+$ from $62.0{\times}10^{-4}$ to $20.6{\times}10^{-3}mole/cm^2{\cdot}h$. The ratio $K^+$/$Na^+$ of membrane was about 1.10. And the driving force of pH of irradiated membrane was significantly increased about 9-20 times than membrane which was not irradiated. As active transport of $K^+$ and $Na^+$ of cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.

Hollow fiber membrane has been successfully developed as an artificial kidney device in the 1970's. In the early 1970's animal cells were introduced into a hollow fiber membrane cartridge and well propagated in the cartridge. Since then, hollow fiber membrane was utilized as a bioreactor in order to immobilize enzymes as well as to culture microbial cells and plant cells. In this review, the present status and the prospect of hollow fiber membrane bioreactor are investigated in view of cell density and product productivity.

참개구리의 난자형성 단계에 따른 난황막의 구조적 변화와 막단백질의 변화에 대하여 연구함으로써 난자형성에 따른 난탈막의 기능적 분화의 가능성을 알아보고자 하T:다. 난황막의 구조적 변화는 난자형성에 따른 미세음모의 수와 모양의 변화로 확인되었다. 그 수가 초기에는 적으나 중기에 증가하고 알기에 다시 감소하며, 그 모양도 처음에는 킬고 가늘지만, 나중에는 짧고 굵어진다. 막단백질은 wheat germ agglutinin에 대해서만 특이하게 반응을 보이는 당단백질로서 작은 난모세포(직경 100-800 urn)와 큰 난모세포(직경 1500 urn)에서 다르게 나타난다. 분자량은 106 KD, 60 KD, 순 KD과 같이 어느 단계에서나 공통적으로 나타나는 단백질이 존재하는 반면에 특히 작은 난모세포의 난황막에서만 찾아 볼 수 있는 130 KD, 125 KD, 90 KD, 28 KD, 26KD과 같은 단겐 특이적으로 나타나는 막단백질도 있다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 보아 난황막 단백질은 난자형성단계에 따라 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있다.

To investigate the alteration of transferrin receptor (TfR) in the proliferating or transformed liver cells, $^{125}I-transferrin$ binding experiment was carried out in the isolated parenchymal cells (PC) or nonparenchymal cells (NPC) from normal regenerated rat liver after partial hepatectomy and from the liver of 3-methyl-4-dimethyl-aminoazobenzene (3-Me-DAB) treated rat. With the administration of 3-Me-DAB for 8 weeks, the liver tissue showed marked morphologic changes of oval cell proliferation, regenerations of hepatocytes, and atypical proliferations of bile ducts, but these changes were little affected by partial hepatectomy. Transferrin binding values in PC or NPC homogenate from the regenerated liver of normal rat, were increased by 3rd day and diminished to control level at 7th day after partial hepatectomy. With the treatement of 3-Me-DAB for 8 weeks, transferrin binding sites in homogenates were higher than those of normal rat liver and increased by 7th day after partial hepatectomy. Transferrin binding sites (Bmax) in the cell membrane of NPC were higher than those of PC of normal rat liver, but there was no significant difference in Kd values between both groups (5.05, 6.3 nM). In the normal resenerated rat liver, transferrin binding sites in the PC or NPC plasma membrane, were increased by 3rd day and diminished to control level at 7th day after partial hepatectomy. With 3-Me-DAB tratment, transferrin binding sites in both liver NPC and PC plasma membrane were increased about 3 folds, compared to those in each plasma membrane of normal rat liver. And after partial hepatectomy of 3-Me-DAB trated rat, transferrin binding sites were increased by the 3rd day in the NPC plasma membrane but increased by the 7th day in the PC plasma membrane. In the transferrin binding sites of the PC or NPC plasma membrane of 3-Me-DAB treated liver, two kinds of Kd values $(3.1{\sim}4.7\;nM,\;25.4{\sim}54.1\;nM)$ were detected. The present results suggest that 1) TfRs are distributed in the liver PC as well as NPC; 2) Increased TfRs in PC or NPC plasma membrane of normal regenerated liver after partial hepatectomy and 3-Me-DAB treated rat liver, may be due to increased intracellular synthesis; 3) Increased TfRs in normal regenerated liver after partial hepatectomy might be related to the expression of a single type of high affinity site $(Kd,\;3.1{\sim}7.5\;nM)$, but in 3-Me-DAB treated rat liver might be related to the expression of high and low affinity types of receptors $(Kd,\;25.4{\sim}54.1\;nm)$.

Vanilloid receptor, TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) is a non-selective cation channel that responds to a variety of pain-eliciting material including capsaicin, pH, heat. Although, membrane trafficking of TRPV1 was not much known so far, TRPV1 was reported to interact with FIP3 (family of Rab11 interacting protein 3). FIP3 was identified as one of Rab11 interacting proteins that is recently reported important in membrane trafficking of several channel proteins directly or indirectly. Therefore, in this study, we examined the role of Rab11 in the membrane trafficking of TRPV1 using cell biological and biochemical techniques. Rab11 was found really colocalized with TRPV1 based on the result of confocal microscopy. However, GST-pulldown assay, one of biochemical technique, found that Rab11 did not interact with TRPV1. Although Rab11 does not interact with TRPV1 directly, we hypothesized that Rab11 is indeed involved in the membrane trafficking of TRPV1. In order to examine further the role of Rab11 in the membrane trafficking of TRPV1, the expression of TRPV1 on the membrane was examined when the expression of Rab11 was decreased down to about 50% by siRNA technique and found decreased significantly. From this result, we can conclude that Rab11 is involved in the membrane trafficking of TRPV1 in a way of including FIP3.
