  • 배아줄기세포 유래 심근세포는 심근경색 등으로 심장이 제 기능을 다 하지 못할 때 치료적 목적으로 주사하여 환자의 심기능을 정상화 시키는 데에 쓰인다. 배아줄기세포 유래 심근세포는 페이스메이커 활동을 보이면서 막전압 고정상태에서도 주기적인 일과성 내향전류를 보이는 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 연구는 기존에 발표된 배아줄기세포 유래 심근세포의 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 어떻게 하여 페이스메이커 활동이 나타나는지 그 기전을 밝히고자 하였다. 세포내 모든 이온을 고정하였을 때 모델 세포는 여전히 페이스메이커 활동을 보였다. 근장그물내 칼슘 이온을 고정하였을 때도 모델 세포는 페이스메이커 활동을 보였다. 그러나 Na-Ca 교환 전류를 차단하였을 때는 모델 세포의 페이스메이커 활동이 사라졌는데, 여기서 L-type $Ca^{2+}$ 전류의 칼슘 의존성 비활성화 기전을 제거하자 페이스메이커 활동이 지속되었다. 또한 Na-Ca 교환전류와 L-type $Ca^{2+}$ 전류만으로는 페이스메이커 활동이 보이지 않았으나 L-type $Ca^{2+}$ 전류의 크기를 3배로 증가시키자 페이스메이커 활동이 다시 나타남을 확인하였다. 따라서, 배아줄기세포 유래 심근세포의 페이스메이커 활동은 Na-Ca 교환전류와 L-type $Ca^{2+}$ 전류의 역할이 매우 중요하며, Na-Ca 교환전류는 L-type $Ca^{2+}$ 전류가 비활성화되지 않도록 칼슘 이온의 농도를 조절하는 데에 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 결론을 내렸다.

  • Background: The activated T lymphocyte by inhalaed mycobacterial antigen may evoke cell-mediated immunity in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. These activated lymphocyte may influence the response of tuberculin-purified protein derivative (PPD) in skin test. But occasionally, anergy to PPD appear in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in spite of active stage. Thus we evaluated the effect of change of subtypes of lymphocyte in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) and peripheral blood on anergy to PPD in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Method: We performed tuberculin skin test and flow-cytometry analysis of lymphocytes obtained from BAL fluid and peripheral blood in 11 healthy normal volunteers and 20 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Results: 1) The composition of lymphocyte significantly increased in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis when compared with that in healthy control ($25.2{\pm}4.8$ vs $6.5{\pm}1.3%$, p<0.01), but composition of monocyte significantly decreased ($69.6{\pm}5.7$ vs $89.2{\pm}1.4%$, p<0.05) in analysis of BAL fluid. 2) There were no differences in compositions of cells in BAL fluid between responders and no-responders to PPD. 3) The compositions of CD3 (+), CD4 (+), CD3 (+) IL-2R (+), CD3 (+) HLA-DR (+) significantly increased in BAL fluid when compared with those in peripheral blood in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. But the composition of CDS (+), CD4/CDS were not different between BAL fluid and peripheral blood. 4) There were no correlations between response to PPD and compositions of cells and lymphocyte subtypes in BAL fluid and peripheral blood in all patients with tuberculosis, responders, and no-responders, respectively. Conclusion: From these results, we suggest no direct relationship between compositions of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and we could not rule out the possibility of compartmentalization of activated lymphocyte involving in anergy to PPD in skin test in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.

  • The morphological changes of the enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal mucosae of Rana amurensis were observed during pre-hibernating, hibernating, post-hibernating and active period. The results of the observation are as follow: 1. The relative values of the enterochromaffin cell numbers in the pre-hibernating, hibernating and post-hibernating groups as compared with the active group are 1.50, 0.36 and 0.90, respectively. 2. In active and pre-hibernating groups, the enterochromaffin cells are large and middle-amount granulated cells and the sparse granulated cells increase significantly during hibernating and post-hibernating periods. 3. It is concluded that the morphological changes of enterochromaffin cells are due to lowered metabolic acitvities especially lowered endocrine activity during hibernation.

  • 본 연구에서는 3차원 심근조직에서의 회귀성파동에 대한 수치적 해석결과를 제시한다. 심근 조직에서의 회귀성파동은 심실세동(ventricular fibrillation)의 원인으로 지목되고 있으며 심근세포 이온채널 또는 전기전도시스템 등과 같은 여러 가지 요소들이 관련된 복합적 현상으로 생각되고 있다. 지금까지 이에 관한 많은 연구가 전기생리학적 모델을 이용하여 이루어진바 있으며, 주로 동물 심근세포모델에 기반으로 균일한 2차원 또는 3차원 모델에서의 전기전도 현상 해석을 한 바 있다. 그러나 실제 심장조직의 경우, 두께를 가진 3차원적 형상을 지니고 있으며 층을 따라서 전기생리학적으로 상이한 특성을 가진 세포들로 구성된다. 즉 심근은 층을 가로질러 Epi-cardiac, mid-cardiac, endo-cardiac cell들로 구성되며 각기 다른 APD(action potential duration)을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 세가지 종류의 인체 심근세포모델을 사용한 3차원 심근조직에서의 활동전위 전도현상에 대한 결과를 제시한다. 이를 위하여 기존의 인체 3가지 종류의 심근세포 모델을 구현하여 그 타당성을 검토한다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 3차원 조직모델을 구현하는데, simplified bidomain방법을 사용하였다. 3차원 공간상에서 심근세포에 의한 활동전위 전달현상을 해석하기 위하여 유한요소법을 도입한다. 최종적으로는 3가지의 심근세포층을 가진 3차원 심근조직을 구성하고, 여기에 회귀성 파동을 유도한다. 그리고 단일층으로 이루어진 3차원조직에서의 결과와 비교 분석하여 다세포층에 의한 불균일 효과를 분석하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 전극칩에서 배양하는 세포의 활동성을 실시간으로 모니터링 하기 위해 AC 함수발생기와 Lock-in-amplifier (SR 830, Stanford Research System)를 이용하여 개발한 LabVIEW(National Instrument)기반 세포 임피던스 측정시스템을 제안하였다. 대장암 세포인 HT-29를 다 채널 전극칩에서 60시간동안 배양하는 동안 LabVIEW기반 세포 임피던스 측정시스템을 이용해서 인가하는 신호의 주파수와 세포의 배양시간에 따른 세포 임피던스 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과 HT-29 세포가 전극에 안착하고 증식하기 때문에 전극의 임피던스가 증가한다는 이전 연구결과와 일치하는 측정결과를 얻었고, 이 결과를 통해서 제안한 LabVIEW 기반 세포 임피던스 측정시스템이 암세포 연구에 적합하고, 앞으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Purpose; Dysregulation of gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis are important in development of ulcer, atrophy and neoplasia in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of infection of H. pylori on gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis in children. Methods: Histological grading by updated Sydney system, PCNA immunostaining and TUNEL method were performed in H. pylori positive (N=58) and negative (N=40) gastric biopsy specimens. Results: In H. pylori positive children, there were significantly higher grade of polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (P=0.000), chronic inflammation (P=0.000), epithelial damage (P=0.000) and lymphoid follicles (P=0.000) than in H. pylori negative children. Intestinal metaplasia was not seen in H. pylori positive children. PCNA index was significantly different between H. pylori positive children ($67.8{\pm}18.13$) and H. pylori negative children ($54.8{\pm}14.46$, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between PCNA index and H. pylori density (r=0.277, P=0.007), polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (r=0.280, P=0.007) and chronic inflammation (r=0.284, P=0.006). Apoptosis index of H. pylori positive children ($0.44{\pm}0.447$) was significantly higher than of H. pylori negative children ($0.14{\pm}0.196$, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between apoptosis index and H. pylori density (r=0.472, P=0.000), polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (r=0.370, P=0.001) and chronic inflammation (r=0.483, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between PCNA index and apoptosis index (r=0.353, P=0.003). Conclusion: The PCNA and apoptosis index in H. pylori positive children were significantly higher than in H. pylori negative children. This study suggested that gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis are important to pathogenesis of H. pylori infection in children.

  • Background: The confirmative diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis(Tb) can be made by the isolation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis(MTb) in the culture of the sputum, respiratory secretions or tissues of the patients, but positive result could not always be obtained in pulmonary Tb cases. Although there are many indirect ways of the diagnosis of Tb, clinicians still experience the difficulty in the diagnosis of Tb because each method has its own limitation. Therefore development of a new diagnostic tool is clinically urgent. It was reported that silica cause some lysosomal enzymes to be released from macrophages in vitro and one of these enzymes is elevated in workers exposed to silica dust and in silicotic subjects. In pulmonary Tb, alveolar macrophages are known to be activated after ingestion of MTb. Activated macrophages can kill MTb through oxygen free radical species and digestive enzymes of lysosome. But if macrophages allow the bacilli to grow intracellularly, the macrophages will die finally and local lesion will enlarge. Then it is assumed that the lysosomal enzymes would be released from the dead macrophages. The goal of this investigation was to determine if there are differences in the plasma activities of lysosomal enzymes, ($\beta$-glucuronidase(GLU) and $\beta$-N-acetyl glucosaminidase(NAG), among the groups of active and inactive pulmonary Tb and healthy control, and to see if there is any possibility that the plasma activity of GLU and NAG can be used as diagnostic indicies of active pulmonary Tb. Methods: The plasma were obtained from 20 patients with bacteriologically proven active pulmonary Tb, 15 persons with inactive Tb and 20 normal controls. In 10 patients with active pulmonary Tb, serial samples after 2 months of anti-Tb medications were obtained. Plasma GLU and NAG activities were measured by the fluorometric methods using 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates. All data are expressed as the mean $\pm$ the standard error of the mean. Results: The activites of GLU and NAG in plasma of the patients with active Tb were $21.52{\pm}3.01$ and $325.4{\pm}23.37$(nmol product/h/ml of plasma), respectively. Those of inactive pulmonary Tb were $24.87{\pm}3.78$, $362.36{\pm}33.92$ and those of healthy control were $25.45{\pm}4.05$, $324.44{\pm}28.66$(nmol product/h/ml of plasma), respectively. There were no significant differences in the plasma activities of both enzymes among 3 groups. The plasma activities of GLU at 2 months after anti-Tb medications were increased($42.18{\pm}5.94$ nmol product/h/ml of plasma) in the patients with active pulmonary Tb compared with that at the diagnosis of Tb(P-value <0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present investigation suggest that the measurement of the plasma activities of GLU and NAG in the patients with active pulmonary Tb could not be a useful method for the diagnosis of active Tb. Further investigation is necessary to define the reasons why the plasma activities of the GLU was increased in the patients with active pulmonary Tb after Tb therapy.

  • The purpose of the present study was to test hypothesis that, because it uses tri-dimensional sensory pathway which have been showed a higher rate of neural activities than uni- or bi-dimensional's, lab-activity-based instruction is more effective teaching strategy in learning science than verbal-based instruction. In the present study, manipulative teaching strategy that uses visual, somatosensory and auditory information pathway was regarded as a mode of tri-dimensional sensory inputs. In addition, verbal teaching strategy that uses mainly auditory and a little visual information pathway was used as a mode of bi-dimensional sensory inputs. Fifty-six students who failed to successfully solve two proportional reasoning tasks (i.e., pouring water tasks) were sampled for this research from a junior high school. The subjects were randomly divided into a manipulative or a verbal teaching group, and given manipulative or verbal tutoring on the use of proportional reasoning strategies and a test of proportional reasoning during instruction. The results showed that manipulative group's performance on the test of proportional reasoning during instruction showed significantly higher performance than verbal group's (t=2.45, p<0.02). The present study also discussed some educational implications of the results.
