This study was perfomed to investigate the contamination level of harmful heavy metals and the level of trace elements in 15 kinds of fish collected at the western coast in Korea from July to December in 1996. The levels of total lead, cadmium, mercury, iron, copper and zinc were determined and the results were summarized as follows: The minimum and maximum values(ppm) of fish, mean value bracketed, were ; Pb : 0.02~4.80(2.26), Cd: 0.001~0.54(0.04), Hg: 0.007~1.08(0.52), Fe: 7.76~66.39(25.70), Cu; 0.37~121.6(1.90), Zn:12.01~112.10(54.78). The results show that mean contents of Pb, Cd and Hg in 15 species fish were not yet dangerous levels enough to cause a health problem. But the contents of Pb and Hg tend to increase.

IL-10-producing B (Breg) cells regulate various immune responses. However, their phenotype remains unclear. CD40 expression was significantly increased in B cells by LPS, and the Breg cells were also enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells. Furthermore, CD40 expression on Breg cells was increased by IL-10, CD40 ligand, and B cell-activating factor, suggesting that $CD40^{hi}$ is a common phenotype of Breg cells. LPS-induced CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an anti-IL-10 receptor antibody and in IL-$10^{-/-}CD5^+CD19^+$ B cells. The autocrine effect of IL-10 on the CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an inhibitor of JAK/STAT3. In vivo, the LPS treatment increased the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells in mice. However, the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells was minimal in IL-$10^{-/-}$ mice by LPS. Altogether, our findings show that Breg cells are largely enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells and the autocrine effect of IL-10 is critical to the formation of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells.

인간의 질병연구를 위한 소동물용 픽셀화 반도체 검출기 기반의 단일광자단층촬영(SPECT, single photon emission computed tomography)시스템 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CdTe검출기 기반의 SPECT시스템의 고해상도 및 저선량 소동물 영상화 가능성을 알아보고자 NaI(Tl) 섬광결정 검출기로 구축된 SPECT 시스템과 비교 평가하였다. CdTe 검출기는 $44.8{\times}44.8$ mm의 크기이며 $0.35{\times}0.35{\times}5$ mm크기의 픽셀로 구성되어 있다. 검출기의 내인성 분해능은 0.35 mm 이며 이는 픽셀 크기와 동일하다. GATE 시뮬레이션 방법을 통하여 두 시스템간의 성능 평가를 수행하고 비교 분석하였다. 시스템의 공간 분해능과 민감도는 10 MBq의 $^{99m}Tc$ 점 선원을 사용하여 평가하였다. 복셀화된 MOBY (mouse whole-body) 팬텀을 사용하여 정량적 평가 및 흡수선량을 계산하였다. 점선원과 조준기 사이의 거리가 30 mm 일 때, NaI(Tl) 섬광결정 검출기 기반의 SPECT의 분해능은 1.54 mm, 민감도는 83 cps/MBq였으며, CdTe검출기 기반의 SPECT시스템의 분해능은 1.32 mm, 민감도는 116 cps/MBq로 더욱 향상된 공간 분해능과 민감도를 나타내었다. 두 시스템의 정량적 통계 분석은 CNR 계산을 통해 이루어졌으며, 주입 선량을 다양하게 설정하여 두 시스템에서의 CNR을 획득하였다. Mouse brain내 striatum의 주입선량이 160 Bq/voxel일 경우, CdTe검출기 기반의 SPECT에서 획득한 CNR은 2.30이었으며 섬광결정 검출기 SPECT에서 획득한 CNR은 1.85로 CdTe검출기 기반의 SPECT에서 더욱 큰 CNR을 지니고 있었다. 또한, CdTe기반의 SPECT를 사용할 경우 NaI(Tl) 섬광결정 검출기 기반의 SPECT 시스템을 사용하는 것보다 동일한 정량적 수치획득을 위한 소동물의 피폭선량을 감소시켜줄 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 검출기 CdTe기반의 SPECT은 NaI(Tl) 섬광결정 검출기 SPECT 시스템보다 공간 분해능과 민감도 측면에서 높은 성능을 보였음을 증명하였다. 실제 시스템과의 검증 등의 추가 연구가 필요하지만, 본 연구 결과는 향후 피폭 선량을 줄이는 동시에 영상의 질을 높일 수 있는 소동물용 SPECT 시스템 구축에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma is a common non-neoplastic connective tissue proliferation. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are vascular adhesion molecules and CD34 is a marker for evaluation of angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 & CD34 in oral pyogenic granuloma and normal gingiva. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on thirty five formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded samples of gingival pyogenic granuloma. Also we used thirty five paraffined blocks of normal gingiva as control group which were taken from crown lengthening surgery. We employed immunohistochemistry staining for our prepared microscopic slides using monoclonal mouse anti-human antibodies against ICAM-1 (CD54), VCAM-1 (CD106) and CD34. Slides were examined under light microscope and then the mean amount of stained vessels also known as microvascular density (MVD) in highly vascularized areas (hot spots) was measured. Paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were used to compare the difference between quantitative variables and Chi-square test for qualitative variables in different groups. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to compare relations between quantitative variables. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean of MVD for ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD34 was significantly higher in pyogenic granuloma than normal gingiva (p<0.001 & p<0.001 & p<0.001, respectively). Expression of CD34 in pyogenic granuloma was significantly higher than ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (P<0.001). Besides, expression of ICAM-1 in normal gingiva, was significantly lower than two other markers (p<0.001). Conclusions: Regarding the results, it seems that ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD34 are useful biomarkers in evaluation of vascular and inflammatory lesions such as gingival pyogenic granuloma and the results indicate the role of these biomarkers in pathogenesis of oral pyogenic granuloma.

The interaction between UN and CdCl₂ in the LiCl-KCl molten eutectic was studied at 1023 K. The chlorination was monitored by sampling and recording the redox potential of the medium. At 1023 K the chlorination of UN with cadmium chloride in the molten LiCl-KCl eutectic proceeds completely and results in the formation of uranium chlorides. The melts of the LiCl-KCl-UCl₃ or LiCl-KCl-UCl₄ compositions can be obtained by the end of experiment depending on the presence of metallic cadmium in the reaction zone. The higher the concentration of the chlorinating agent, the faster the reaction rate. At [CdCl₂]/[UN] = 1.65 (10% excess) the reaction proceeds to completion in about 7.5 h. At [CdCl₂]/[UN] = 7 the complete chlorination takes 2.5-3 h.

As most infections by the helminth parasite elicit the recruitment of $CD4^+CD25^+Foxp3^+$ T ($T_{reg}$) cells, many scientists have suggested that these cells could be used for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammation and associated diseases. In order to investigate the distribution and alteration of activated $T_{reg}$ cells, we compared the expression levels of $T_{reg}$ cell activation markers in the ileum and gastrocnemius tissues 1, 2, and 4 weeks after infection. The number of $T_{reg}$ cells was monitored using GFP-coded Foxp3 transgenic mice. In mice at 1 week after Trichinella spiralis infection, the number of activated $T_{reg}$ cells was higher than in the control group. In mice at 2 weeks after infection, there was a significant increase in the number of cells expressing Foxp3 and CTLA-4 when compared to the control group and mice at 1 week after infection. At 4 weeks after infection, T. spiralis was easily identifiable in nurse cells in mouse muscles. In the intestine, the expression of Gzmb and Klrg1 decreased over time and that of Capg remained unchanged for the first and second week, then decreased in the 4th week. However, in the muscles, the expression of most chemokine genes was increased due to T. spiralis infection, in particular the expression levels of Gzmb, OX40, and CTLA-4 increased until week 4. In addition, increased gene expression of all chemokine receptors in muscle, CXCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR9, and CCR10, was observed up until the 4th week. In conclusion, various chemokine receptors showed increased expressions combined with recruitment of $T_{reg}$ cells in the muscle tissue.
