NFI-C null mice demonstrated aberrant odontoblast differentiation and thus abnormal dentin formation while other tissues/organs in the body, including ameloblasts, appear to be unaffected and normal. However little is known about the mechanism of NFI-C function in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. Odontoblasts are tall, highly polarized cells that are responsible for formation and maintenance of the predentin and dentin. An indication of their polarity is the acquisition of specialized intercellular junctions. As preodontoblasts differentiate into odontoblasts, they are Joined and attached at the apical end by well developed terminal webs of cytoskeletal actins, and associated tight as well as adherent njunctions. In this study, in order to investigate if disruption of the NFI-C gene interferes with formation of a specific or other structural proteins of the intercellular junctions, we examined morphological characteristic of the aberrant odontoblast in NFI-C null mice using light and electron microscope. In addition, we determined the expression of major structural proteins of intercellular junctions, ZO-1 and occludin, during the differentiation of odontoblasts using immunohitochemistry. The results were as follows : 1. In light microscopy, abnormal odontoblasts of incisors of the NFI-C null mice were round in shape, lost their polarity, and trapped in osteodentin-like mineralized tissue. Mutant molars have relatively normal crowns, but short and abnormal differentiating adontoblasts in root formation area. 2. Electron microscopy of abnormal odontoblasts revealed the dissociation of the round osteoblast-like cells, the loss of their cellular polarity, and the absence of an intercellular junctional complex known as the tight junctions. 3. A mutant incisor showed labeling for ZO-1 at the proximal and distal ends of secreting ameloblasts, while staining for ZO-1 was not observed in the abnormal odontoblasts. 4. A normal incisor showed immunoreactivity for occludin in the differentiating odontoblasts. However, staining for occludin was not observed in the abnormal odontoblasts of mutant incisor. These results suggest that NFI-C gene causes dissociation of odontoblast and thus abberant odontoblast differentiation and abnormal dentin formation by interfering with the formation of intercellular junctions.

The characteristics of cell growth and foamed cell structures of PP were investigated by a continuous foaming process. The operating parameters were the contents of blowing agent and nucleating agent, nucleating agent contents, die temperatures and die dimensions. The foaming cells grew without collapse at less than 14.5 wt% of blowing agent, isopentane. But the cells were collapsed when the blowing agent content was more than 14.5 wt%. The foam density dramatically decreased when a very small amount of the nucleating agent, 1 wt%, was added. After the nucleating agent was added, the cell's weight plummeted to one-seventh of its previous weight. Stable foam cell structures were formed at the die temperature of 17$0^{\circ}C$. However, the effects of the pressure drop rate on the cell morphology were not serious.

The embryos formed from anther culture of peony exhibited divergent morphologies. The frequency of normal embryos with two cotyledons was about two times higher in the embryos formed through direct embryogenesis than those formed from callus. About 69% of the embryos with two cotyledons converted into normal plants, but convention rate of the abnormal embryos with one and three or four cotyledons was only 4 to 9%. The embryos of hem and bowling pin shape did not undergo development into normal plants.

In this paper, the processing conditions of the amorphous silicon film growth were investigated the effect in forming the HSG-Si on the surface of the storage electrode. As a result, when the amorphous silicon film phosphorus concentration is greater than $5.5{\pm}0.1E19atoms/cm^3$, HSG-Si is not formed correctly and showed the concentration dependency of HSG formation. Also, the optimum condition of the phosphorus concentration for amorphous silicon and HSG thickness are $4.5E19atoms/cm^3$ and $450{\AA}$, respectively, because of the HSG thickness over the $500{\AA}$ create to bit failure according to a short of the electrodes and the electrode.

본 논문에서는 IGBT 소자 중 온저항을 낮추고 집적성을 향상시키기 위해 고안된 트렌치 게이트 IGBT의 단점인 게이트 코너에서의 전계 집중현상을 완화하기 위해 P+ 베이스 영역에 트렌치 전극을 형성하고, 트렌치 바닥면에 P+ 층을 형성한 새로운 구조를 제안하고 TSUPREM과 MEDICI 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 제안한 구조를 시뮬레이션한 결과 순방향 저지시에 15% 이상의 항복전압 향상을 보였으며, 이 때 온저항 특성과 문턱전압의 변화는 없었다. 전계 분포를 3차원적 시뮬레이션을 통해 트렌치 전극 바닥에 형성된 P+ 층에 의해 전계집중이 분산되는 전계분산 효과에 의해 항복전압을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 전계분산 효과에 의한 항복전압향상은 트렌치 게이트의 코너와 트렌치 전극의 코너의 깊이가 같을수록 두 코너 사이의 거리가 가까울수록 커짐을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 제안 구조는 공정상 복잡성이 야기되지만 15%이상의 항복전압향상 효과는 소자 특성 개선에서 많은 응용이 기대된다.

인삼뿌리썩음병균(Cylindrocarpon destructans)후막 포자의 형성은 CD(Czapek`s dox broth)와 SNY(Spezieller Nahrtoffarmer yeast extract broth)배지에서 진탕배양(2$0^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm)하면 양호하였다. 특히 CD배지에서 2$0^{\circ}C$로 30일간 진탕배양하면 5.99 log 후막포자/ml로 형성되었다. 후막포자의 발아율은 12.9~23.3%로 CD배지와 SNY배지에서 좋았으며 발아적온은 5~1$0^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 6이었다. 그러나 2$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 전혀 발아하지 않았으며 pH 7.0이상에서는 발아율이 급속히 저하되었다. 인삼추출물 3%, GA 10 ppm, IAA 10 ppm, NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm을 처리 할 경우 대조구에 비해 발아율이 증가하였다. 특히 NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm 처리구는 발아율이 무처리에 비해 2배 증가하였다. CD배지(pH5)에 NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm과 GA 10 ppm을 조합처리하고 5$^{\circ}C$로 정치배양 할 때 후막포자의 발아율은 49.4%로 가장 높았다.

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia accompanying malignant pleural effusion. A 73 year-old male patient was admitted complaining of febrile sensations and right chest pain. The cytology of the pleural fluid revealed malignant pleural effusion showing many blasts, which had previously been identified in his bone marrow when he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia two months earlier. His age and poor general condition had precluded chemotherapy with the exception of hydroxyurea and conservative treatment. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease 4.5 months after diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of determining if the pleural effusion of acute leukemia is malignant or not because it can suggest a pleural metastasis and influence the prognosis.

Sclerotinia rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum frequently causes serious and unpredicable yield losses of the leaves of perilla growing under structured cultivation as vegetable in Korea. Temperature for mycelial growth ranged from 5 to $30^{\circ}C$ with optimum temperature d $20^{\circ}C$. Sclerotia were formed fewer at low temperature, but their dry weight was heavier than that at high temperature. The apothecia were formed from the sclerotia that buried up to 3 cm soil depth at $15^{\circ}C$ in moisture condition. The incidence of perilla Sclerotinia rot caused by S. sclerotiorum was observed throughout the growing season at greenhouse. The occurrence of this disease was especially severe from January to February of low temperature period. The average incidence rates of this disease was up to 15%. The significant occurrence of this disease was showed mainly in the continuous cropping field for more than five years. The incidence of this disease increased according to the increase of continuous cropping year. The incidence rates of this disease reached up to 20% in the continuous cropping field for ten years. Also it was firstly investigated the natural infection caused by S. sclerotiorum on weed plants, Gnaphalium affine and Mazus pumilus in farmer's field. The casual fungus showed pathogenicity on 11 weed plants species tested, and more severe pathogenicity on G. affine, Latuca indica and Ixeris dentata included in the family Compositae. This result suggests that effective crop rotation and weed eradication can be the method for organic control of perilla sclerotinia rot, and sudden outbreaks of this disease on perilla growing under structure after paddy rice call be explained by the presence of weed hosts.

황을 포함하는 촉매는 황을 포함하지 않은 촉매보다 저온영역에서 상대적으로 우수한 활성을 갖는 것으로 관찰하였다. $V_2$$O_{5}$가 담지된 촉매는 황에 인해 표면에 polymeric vanadate가 형성되었기 때문인 것으로 확인되어 polymeric vanadate가 탈질제거 활성에 유리한 활성점으로 확인되었다. 또한 활성저하 실험에서 반응온도의 영향이 큰 것으로 확인되었는데 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 반응온도에서는 생성된 염이 제거되는 온도영역이므로 염의 생성으로 인한 활성 저하는 확인 할 수 없다. 그러므로 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 반응온도에서는 활성저하가 관찰되지 않아 본 연구에서 제조된 촉매는 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 조업되는 것이 바람직하다.

악안면 형성과정의 이상으로 인한 구조적 결함상태로 정의되어지는 악안면 기형(maxill-ofacial ogtal malformation)은 사고나 기능적(funct-ional) 장애로 인해 후천적으로 생길 수도 있으나 유전적 원인 등으로 인한 선천적 경우도 많다. 특히 후자의 경우에는 여러 증후군과 결합되어 나타나는 수가 많다. 치과의사는 치아이상이나 기능적 이상으로 인한 기형의 치료 및 예방을 담당할 책임이 있으며, 더욱이 새로운 진료실에서 직접 대면할 수 있는 최초의 의사가 될 수 있다는 점에서 특별한 기형외에도 전반적인 증후군에 대한 지식을 갖는 것이 중요하다. 악안면 기형환자에게는 전반적 검사가 필수적이며 방사선 분석, 치아모형 분석 등 다양한 분석이 필요하나, 여기에서는 주로 병력 청취나 시진을 통한 검사에 중점을 두어 서술하고자 한다.
