Background: Platelets take part in repairing the lesions of endothelial damage. To understand the molecular mechanism of this process, we tested the hypothesis that CD154 expressed on activated platelets stimulates proliferation of human endothelial cells. Methods: The expression levels of CD154 and CD40 on platelets and endothelial cells, respectively, were measured by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Function-blocking monoclonal antibody against CD154 was developed after immunization with CD154-transfected L cells. Results: An anti-CD40 agonist antibody and soluble CD154 both induced significant proliferation of endothelial cells. In addition, a function-blocking anti-CD154 antibody inhibited the platelet-induced proliferation of endothelial cells, indicating that the CD154-CD40 pathway is involved in these cellular interactions. An anti-VEGF antibody failed to inhibit the proliferation. This, in addition to the fact that very small amounts of VEGF are released from platelets or endothelial cells, suggests that VEGF does not play an important role in the platelet-stimulated proliferation of endothelial cells. Conclusion: Our results indicate that platelets induce proliferation of endothelial cells by CD154-CD40 interactions independently of VEGF.

This paper is for studying the feasibility of SFCL application for the interconnection operation of 154kV power systems under 345kV S/S in Korean power system. All Korean 154kV power systems are constructed as loop systems in downtown. However, the present 154kV systems are operated with separated systems around 345kV S/S because of fault current and overload problems. In this study, we investigate the structure and operation of 154kV power system in Seoul and study the feasibility of interconnection operation of 154kV systems under 345kV systmes by applying SFCLs to 154kV bus-tie.

Insulators of 154kV T/L have been frequently damaged by fault currents. Arcing horn is a very effective and economic method for protection of insulators from the flashover. We developed arcing horns for 154kV T/L in order to protect insulators from the arc[1]. This paper analyzes the status of insulator failures in 154kV T/L after installation of the arcing horns.

Limitation to Peterson coil grounded operation of 154KV system began to develop with the growth of system as to voltage and system cost. Therefore, 154KV system is going to be grounded solidly from November this year. This study shows the insulation coordination of solidly ground system, such as the selection of a suitable lightening arrester, determination of transmission line insulation and Basic Insulation Level of station equipment.

The biodegradative potentialities of a toluene-tolerant Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154, isolated from waste water, were investigated. Among 16 aromatic substrates tested, cumene, cyclohexane, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, m-xyene, toluene and diphenylether were metabolized. Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154 degraded aerobically toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene and cumene. With toluene competitive degradation occurred after 12 hours, but with p-xylene and cumene, and with ethylbenzene, 90 and 75% degradation occurred after 12 hours of incubation, respectively.

In this paper, degradation and dielectric properties of XLPE sheets moved from 22/154kV power cables were investigated. At the results of dielectric property of 22kV/154kV XLPE sheet, We earned that $tan{\delta}$ is $7.4{\times}10^{-4}$, $2.15{\times}10^{-4}$ and dielectric constant is 2.3, 2.24. Temperature dependance of $tan{\delta}$ inclined to increasing with temperature and increase of $tan{\delta}$ of 22kV XLPE sheet is higher than it of 154kV XLPE sheet. And increasement of XLPE sheet with water is higher than it without water.

KPX sets up the voltage standards according to the voltage level to supply a good quality of electricity to customers. Supply voltages are divided into 4 levels - 345kV, 154kV, 22.9kV, and distribution voltage consisting of 110, 220 and 380V. In this research, we examine the optimal voltage operating level focused on 154kV system that mostly affects electricity quality, through analysing the system demand.

Partial characterization of B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki 3ab temperature-sensitive mutants was carried out through biochemical analyses, utilization tests of carbohydrate sources, antobiotic resistant test, hemolytic reaction test, growth measurement of Fructus gardenia sxtrant medium and toxicity test against mice. Six ts mutants, ts-U154, ts-U601, ts-U602, ts-U603, tsU-604, and ts-U788 could not produce urease, ts-U603 lost its motility, ts-U154 could not use salicin and cellobiose and ts-U603 not ribose. All ts mutants except ts-U154 and wild type strain were resistant to cephalothin, ampicillin, and penicillin. but ts-U154 was sensitive to the three. Four mutants, ts-U21, ts-U74, ts0U131 and ts-U154 did not form pigment colonies on the F. gardenia medium. All the mutants and wild type strain showed hemolysis reaction on the blood agar. The B. thuringiensis and mutants were not toxic to mice.

An organic solvent-tolerant lipase of Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154 that was isolated from wastewater in the industrial complex region had optimal activity at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 8. This crude extracellular lipase from BCNU 154 exhibited maximum stability in toluene, retaining about 6.01 U/ml (117.53%) activity for 2 h. $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $NH_4{^+}$, and $Na^+$ ions and triton X-100 activated the enzymes, whereas $Ba^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$ ions inhibited their activity. Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154 lipase revealed stable activity comparable to that of the commercial immobilized Novozym 435. Thus, this organic solvent-tolerant lipase could have potential as a whole cell biocatalyst in industrial chemical processes without the use of immobilization.
