The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the light-emitting-diode (LED) to investigate proliferation of human epidermal keratinocyte and collagen, procollagen expression. In order to determine whether LED irradiation can safely be applied to human skin, the proliferative effects of LED irradiation were determined by MTS assay in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes. Wavelength of 470nm LED irradiation increased mRNA expression of collagen, procollagen without cytotoxity. Our results suggest that 470nm LED irradiation may have a proliferative effects and collagen synthesis property. In order to determine whether LED irradiation can safely be applied to human skin, the cytotoxic effects of LED irradiation were determined by MTS assay in Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF). As far as we know, this is the first report demonstrating in vitro collagen synthesis activity of 470nm LED irradiation and being a scientific basis for the cosmetic.

In vitro culture system was established to induce multiple shoots of Albizzia julibrissin Duraz. by investigating the effects of cytokinins. Cotyledon, hypocotyl and root explants were cultured on MS media supplemented with either three different plant growth regulators or their combinations. The most effective cytokinin sources were zeatin 2.0 + TDZ 0.5 mg/L in cotyledon, zeatin 1.0 mg/L in hypocotyl, and BA 0.2 + TDZ 0.01 mg/L in root explant for producing shoots ($5.67\;{\pm}\;1.20$, $19.50\;{\pm}\;3.50$, and $20.50\;{\pm}\;2.47$, respectively). Also, zeatin treatment was tended to induce more shoots rather than the combinations of other cytokinins. In addition, the root induced in 1/2 MS medium without any plant growth regulators was longer and thicker than treatments of IBA, NAA, IAA and 2.4-D as auxins. Overall, the highest average percent of in vitro shoot formation was 73% from three different types of explants with treatment of zeatin (1.0mg/L).

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare, multi-systemic disease primarily affecting young male adults with a history of smoking. The two patients with PLCH in our report showed relatively early and atypical radiologic presentations at initial evaluation. On chest CT, PLCH presents variable radiologic features depending on the evolutional stage of the disease. Atypical CT features of PLCH may render precise radiologic diagnosis difficult and usually require lung biopsy for a confirmation of the diagnosis. Our case review is aimed at raising the awareness of radiologists on the atypical CT features of PLCH, to help make accurate radiologic diagnosis and prevent unnecessary and invasive diagnostic procedures.

새로운 노화방지 물질로 개발한 3-APPA가 노화에 의해 야기되는 여러 변화들, 특히 세포 증식, 유전자 수준 및 단백질 수준에서의 collagen의 생합성 변화, 면역조직화학염색을 이용한 collagen 생합성의 변화등을 세포배양 및 동물실험을 통하여 측정하였다. MTT assay를 이용한 인체 피부 섬유아세포의 증식 실험에서 3-APPA는 무처치군에 비교해서 최고 2배의 섬유아세포 증식 효능을 나타내었으며, $^3$[H]-proline incorporation 방법을 이용한 단층세포 배양 및 3차원 dermal equivalent 섬유아세포 배양에서 무처치군 및 vitamin C 처리군에 비해 최고 1.5배의 collagen 생합성 증가를 나타내었다. 그러나 type I alpha-procollagen mRNA expression에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. H&E 염색을 이용한 hairless mice의 피부에 대한 형태학적 변화 및 type I pM procollagen antibody를 이용한 면역조직화학염색에서, 3-APPA는 collagen 생합성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 3-APPA는 섬유아세포 배양 및 hairless mouse를 이용한 실험에서 피부 섬유아세포 증식을 촉진시키며 collagen 생합성을 증가시켜 피부노화를 억제 할 수 있는 물질임을 밝혔다.

Medial knee joint pain is a common problem in the field of orthopedics. In these patients, a high resolution ultrasound examination can reveal medial collateral ligament (MCL) bursitis, meniscal cyst, degeneration changes to the MCL and meniscal protrusion etc. Prolotherapy is effective in these patients. The author performed prolotherapy for MCL bursitis of the knee joint, and confirmed the disappearance of the bursitis using high resolution ultrasound.

A Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from a feed additive yeast product was cultivated in a Korean paper digestion wastewater in order to investigate the possibility of using it as substrate for the yeast. The yeast couldn't grow in the wastewater. It could grow in the wastewater diluted and the optimum dilution rate was 7.5 In batch cultivation with the jar fermenter the maximum total cell count was $1.34{\times}107/mL$ was obtained by the addition of undiluted digestion wastewater. By adding $(NH_4)_2S0_4 and KH_2P0_4$together with the undiluted wastewater the maximum cell concentration could be obtained faster.

In order to determine a proper amount of sodium pyrophosphate (SPP) which protect Lactobacilli from phage attack, Lactobacillus casei YIT-9018 was grown in $Ca^{＋＋}$ free Murata medium having various concentrations of SPP after infections with phage Jl at different multiplicities of infection (MOI). it was found that the level of SPP to inhibit phage activity depended upon the level of MOIs. When the bacteria were infected by less than 10$^{-1}$ of MOI, 0.15% of SPP was sufficient, while with 10$^{0}$ of MOI, 0.175% of SPP was needed to inhibit the lytic activity completely.

Rhabdovirus-like virus were isolated from the fry (15~30 days post hatching, dph) and rearing water of the snakehead fish Channa arga exhibiting mass mortality in spring of 2003 and 2004 in Korea. The isolates were propagated in EPC and SSN-1 cells but not replicated in FHM cells. The bullet-shaped viral particles (45×100 nm) appeared to be compact and a similar morphology to those of the rhabdoviruses in the infected EPC cells. The optimum temperature for virus replication was 20 to 25℃ but they could not replicate at 15℃. The isolates ShFRV-3 and ShFRV-5 from snakehead fish showed high pathogenicity against the fry (15 dph) and fingering (40 dph) of snakehead fish but did not in the larger size (90 dph).

Continuous on-line monitoring of cell concentration and growth rate in aerobic batch fermentation process was carried out by analyzing the exhaust gas composition of tormentor with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. From the mass spectrometric analyses of major gaseous components, i.e. $N_2$, $O_2$, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$, and the material balance equations for oxygen and carbon dioxide, oxygen uptake rate (OUR) rind carbon dioxide evolution rate (CER) were instantaneously calculated using a computer (16-bit IBM PC-AT) interfaced to a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The calculated OUR and CER data were used for the estimation of cell concentration and growth rate of Candida utilis during batch culture. It was found that the cell concentration could be satisfactorily estimated from the data of OUR arid CER during the culture and this method could be successfully und for the continuous monitoring of cell growth and growth rate.
