Objective: To evaluate pharmacokinetic variables from contrast-enhancing lesions (CELs) and non-enhancing T2 high signal intensity lesions (NE-T2HSILs) on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four GBM patients who had undergone preoperative DCE MR imaging and received standard treatment were retrospectively included. We analyzed the pharmacokinetic variables of the volume transfer constant (Ktrans) and volume fraction of extravascular extracellular space within the CEL and NE-T2HSIL of the entire tumor. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed using preoperative clinical characteristics, pharmacokinetic variables of DCE MR imaging, and postoperative molecular biomarkers to predict PFS. Results: The increased mean Ktrans of the CEL, increased 95th percentile Ktrans of the CELs, and absence of methylated O⁶-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter were relevant adverse variables for PFS in the univariate analysis (p = 0.041, p = 0.032, and p = 0.083, respectively). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that PFS was significantly shorter in patients with a mean Ktrans of the CEL > 0.068 and 95th percentile Ktrans of the CEL > 0.223 (log-rank p = 0.038 and p = 0.041, respectively). However, only mean Ktrans of the CEL was significantly associated with PFS (p = 0.024; hazard ratio, 553.08; 95% confidence interval, 2.27-134756.74) in the multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis. None of the pharmacokinetic variables from NE-T2HSILs were significantly related to PFS. Conclusion: Among the pharmacokinetic variables extracted from CELs and NE-T2HSILs on preoperative DCE MR imaging, the mean Ktrans of CELs exhibits potential as a useful imaging predictor of PFS in GBM patients.

부영양화된 연못에서 규산질다공체(CelICaSi)와 미생물응집제를 이용한 녹조제어의 효과를 조사하였다. 녹조 발생 남조류인 Microcystis aeruginosa에 대한 응집능이 우수한 S-2 균주가 생산한 미생물응집제를 선정하여 현장의 조류응집에 적용하였다. 초기의 인산염농도는 대조구에서 $131\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하였음에 비해서, CelICaSi가 첨가된 3개의 처리구에서는 $1-14\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하며 크게 감소하였다. 엽록소$-\alpha$ 농도는 현장에 설치한 en-closure에서 초기에 $215\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$ 이었으나 CellCaSi $(1g\ell^{-1}$, 미생물응집제 $(2ml\ell^{-1})$, 보조응집제 $(1g\ell^{-1})$, 염화제이철 $(2mg\;Fe\ell^{-1})$을 함께 처리한 처리구에서 $59\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$로 가장 많이 감소하였다. 실험용 쥐 및 금붕어를 이용한 독성실험에서 녹조제거에 이용되는 성분들과 미생물응집제에 대한 독성은 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, CellCaSi와 미생물응집제는 인 제거 및 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도 감소에 의한 녹조제거에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

In order to investigate the effects of Soyosangamibang Extract(逍遙散加味方抽出液) on antitumor effects after human cell lines(A549, hep3B, Caki-1, Ehrlich) transplantation into the peritoneal cavity or right groin in mice induced by RPMI1640 and GIBCO etc., the extracts of its herbal medicines were orally administered for 10 or 12 days. Experimental studies were performed for measurance of antitumor effect of MMC(Mitomycin C) and lysosomal enzyme's activities using colony forming efficency, SRB assay which were regarded as a valuable method for antitumor effects of unknown compound on tumor cell lines. The results obtained in this studies were as follows: 1. The change of colony-forming efficiency and SRB assay of Caki-1 cells, hep3B and A549 cells after exposure to the extract of Soyosangamibang extract depressed the growth of tumor cells by concentration of Soyosangamibang, 2. Antitumor activity of the ethanol extract from Soyosangamibang extract and MMC on ascites form of Ehrlich carcinoma in mice is a little improved. Especially mean survival times of the group of 200mg/kg and MMC 0.1mg/kg is improved Over 50%. 3. WhenSoyosangamibang extract and MMC are administrated together, the weight of turnor is more decreased than MMC alone. 4. The lysosomal enzyme's activities of the Soyosangarmibang extract and MMC are more significantly improved than MMC alone. According to the above results, it could be suggested that Soyosangamibang extract has indirect antitumor effect by strengthen the effect of MMC.

The effects of antimycin A(AA), dodium azide ($NaN_3$) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), which inhibit mitochondrial ATP production, on cellular functions of cultured astrocytes were studied. High concentrations of AA $(50{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml),{\;}NaN_3$ (100mM) and DNP (20mM) significantly decreased 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction, which was known to be related to mitochondrial function and then cel viability. AA ($50{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$) increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and decreased [$^3H$] glutamate uptake, suggesting severe damage of cellular function by the concentrations of the compounds. Meanwhile, low concentrations of AA $(\leq{;\}10{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml),{\;}NaN_3{;\}(\leq{\;}50mM)$ and DNP ($\leq{\;}5mM$) significantly increased MTT reduction, the effect of which was specific to astrocytes. AA (5 and $10{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$) did not affect LDH release and [$^3H$] glutamate uptake, indicating that these compounds increased MTT reduction at the low concentrations without cellular membrane damage. However, the low concentrations of AA produced significant decrease of MTT reduction in a glucose-free medium. Low concentrations of AA (1 and $5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$) did not change ATP production of astrocytes in the medium containing 10 mM glucose, but completely inhibited in a glucose-free medium, suggesting marked increase of cytosolic ATP production by the blockade of mitochondrial ATP production with low concentrations of AA. These results suggest that astrocytes have ability to enhance neuronal function or survival under conditions of incomplete ischemia or early by enhancement of glycolysis, and that cellular reduction of MTT occurs not only mitochondrially but also extramitchondrially.

The effects of different protein sources (serum vs bovine serum albumin), growth factors (EGF and PDGF) and co-culture with various type of somatic cel1s (BOEC, MEF and BRL) on the in vitro development of in vitro matured / in vitro fertilized bovine oocytes were examined, and the viability of frozen/thawed embryos derived from IVM /IVF was examined. Cell numbers of blastocysts were also counted. In Experiment 1, CR$_1$aa with serum was superior to CR$_1$aa with BSA in producing morulae plus blastocysts from IVM /IVF oocytes(24.4% vs 30.4%, p>0.05). In Experiment 2, more morulae plus blastocysts(42.3%) were produced in CR$_1$aa containing long /ml EGF than in the control CR$_1$aa(33.3%). In Experiment 3, 2- to 8-cell embryos derived from IVM /IVF oocytes were randomly allotted to one of 4 culture groups : a) CR$_1$aa ; b) CR$_1$aa + ing /ml PDGF ; CR$_1$aa + Sng /ml PDGF ; CR$_1$aa + lOng /ml PDGF ; culture resulted in 21.3, 51.2, 41.4 and 45.9%(p<0.05), respectively, developing into morulae and blastocysts. In Experiment 4, 0 and Sng /ml PDGF added to CR$_1$aa coculture with BRL or BOEC yielded 47.5, 42.5, 33.8 and 41.6% morulae and blastocysts, respectively. In Experiment 5, the proportion of embryos into morulae and blastocysts was highest in CR$_1$aa with MEF coculture group(50.9%) compared to any other group(CR$_1$aa, 22.3%; CR$_1$aa+BRL, 32.9%; CR$_1$aa+BOEC, 33.8%, p>0.05). In Experiment 6, survival rate of blastocysts produced by in vitro fertilization when cryoprotectant was removed in 0.7M glycerol+0.7M sucrose and 0.7M sucrose solution for 10 min. after thawing at 2$0^{\circ}C$ (Exp. H, 58.8%) was slightly higher than when cryoprotectant was removed 10%, 6.7% and 3.3% glycerol for 10 min. after thawing at 37$^{\circ}C$ (Exp. I, 54.3%). These study indicate that growth factors and somatic cell co-culture can increase the proportion of embryos that develop into morulae and blastocysts without an increase in the cell number and frozen /thawed method employed this experiment was not different.

난자의 체외성숙 및 체외배양에는 일반적으로 동물의 혈청을 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 채취한 소의 상태에 따라서 혈청의 질에 차이가 있어 실험데이터가 일정하지 않을 수 있고, 그것으로부터 바이러스, 세균, 마이코플라즈마 등에 오염될 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 완전 무 혈청 배양액에서 난자의 성숙, 배 발생율, 세포 수, 동결성을 검토하였다. 다음으로, 근래 혈청배지로 생산한 체외 배양 수정란은 과체중의 산자 생산, 초기 산자 사망률, caesarean section, dystocia 같은 발병으로 문제가 지적되고 있다. 그러나 무 혈청 배지로 생산한 체외 배양 수정란은 이러한 현상을 개선할 수 있다는 보고가 있어 본 실험에서는 완전 무혈청 배양액에서 생산된 동결란과 신선란을 젖소에 이식하여 그 결과를 검토하였다. 무혈청 배양액에는 에너지원과 세포성장인자가 첨가된 IVD101과 IVMD101, 대조군인 혈청 배양액에는 TCM199 + 10% FBS가 사용되었다. IVMD101에 의해 체외성숙이 이루어 졌고, 혈청이 첨가된 TCM199 + 10% FBS에서는 12.4% 배 발생율을 보인데 반해, 무혈청 배양액 IVD101과 IVMD101이 각 32.4%, 34.5%로 훨씬 높은 배 발생율을 보였다. 더욱이, 세포 수에 있어서도 무혈청 배양액에서 발생된 배반포의 세포수가 혈청이 첨가된 배양액에서 발생된 배반포의 세포수보다 월등하였으며, 이는 체내란과 비슷한 세포 수를 보이고 있다. 수정란의 내동성을 보면, 융해하고 24시간 배양기 정치 후에 IVD101과 IVMD101은 94.5%, 95.8%의 생존율을 보인 반면 TCM199 + 10% FBS는 52.5%에 불과하다. 융해하고 72시간후 탈출 배반포율이 IVD101과 IVMD101는 78.4%, 83.7%였는데 반해 TCM199 + 10% FBS는 32.0%였다. 마지막으로, 무혈청 배양액에서 발생한 동결란과 신선란을 젖소에 이식한 후에 임신율에 있어서는 유의적 차이는 없었지만, 무혈청 배지에서 생산된 수정란의 내동성의 탁월함이 증명되었다. 이러한 결과들로 종합해 보면, 무혈청 배양액 (IVD101, IVMD101)에서 발생된 수정란이 혈청 배양액에서 발생된 수정란보다 배발생율, 세포수, 동결성, 임신율에 있어서 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 무혈청 배양액은 배발생 과정의 연구뿐만 아니라 수정란 이식을 위한 고품질의 체외 수정란의 대량 생산, 복제, 형질전환 동물 생산 등에도 유익할 것으로 사료된다.
