Purpose: A Krukenberg tumor is an ovarian tumor of a signet-ring cell type. This tumor arises more commonly in young women, and the prognosis is poor. The primary focus of this tumor is often found at gastrointestinal malignancy, especially gastric cancer. We tried to identify the clinical characteristics of this tumor, and in that regard, this report might be helpful. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the 61 patients with Krukenberg tumors, who had been diagnosed at our hospital from 1994 to 2002, and retrospectively analyzed the clinical features. Results: The age distribution ranged from 15 to 59 years, and the mean age was 41 years. The most common symptom was a lower abdominal mass ($46\%$). Fourty-two cases ($77\%$) showed bilateral ovarian involvement, and the size of this tumor was variable, but in 24 cases ($4\%$) the size was $5\∼10$ cm for the largest diameter. Among 54 cases, 40 cases had ascites, and the volume of ascites was variable. The median survival of the 61 patients was 10 months, and Krukenberg tumor developed 19.7 months after the primary operation. The median survival durations of recurrence patterns were 20 months for the Krukenberg tumor alone, and 7 months for the Krukenberg tumor with peritoneal seeding. Conclusion: In young women treated with a gastrectomy, especially one for an advanced tumor, closed observation with abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography to detect a Krukenberg tumor is recommended. The patient with a Krukenberg tumor alone has a better prognosis than one with a Krukenberg tumor combined peritoneal seeding. We will have to consider more progressive treatment for the patient with a Krukenberg tumor alone.

Human being can't live without nature, then the changes of nature affect human body. It means that human body has corresponding changes to the KI(vital energy) of nature. There is a stream of changes in human body which circulate mysteriously and punctually by the laws of nature. If this stream of changes fits into human's life style, it would be most effective. It has a certain mode continuously. So if a person has a habit fitting into it, he will get the healthiest body. Then the researcher tries to explain the changes in human body by the time, mainly focused on within 24 hours. it is showing not only the oriental view, but also the western's. The researcher can find the coincidence as followings. At In-Si(3-5 am), the body function and the body temperature get to the bottom, therefore it's good for him to wake up and to run the vital energy. At Sa-Si(9-11 am), the patience on pain anxiety and the psychic concentration get to the top, he'd better start the work. At O-Si(11am-1pm), the heart energy has a vital move, then the blood concentration of Hb(hemoglobin) gets to the top. At Mi-Si(1-3 pm), the muscle strength, the squeeze, and the breathing rate increase. The reflex nerve sensitivity gets to the top. Creativity, observation, and working efficiency go high, so it's time to work hard. At Hae-Si(9pm-1am), the body function falls, sleeping is needed. At Chuck-Si(1-3 am), the cell spontaneity gets to the top, immune lymphocyte moves actively, and the blood concentration of growth hormone gets to the top. These are liver's work. In west, there has been active studies on how to reduce the side effect by using a person's bio-rhythm based on the 'time treatment', and how to reorganize the bio-rhythm by using the machine and the age resistance based on the 'bio-watch'. Though the 'time treatment' means something, the artificial resistance on bio-rhythm seems to give bad effects to human body. If a person lives by regimen of oriental medicine, he will maintain the healthiest body. Regimen is that human body follows the laws of nature, and moves its mysterious, Punctual and periodical changes.

휴지상태에 있는 성숙한 도열병균 포자 1,000개를 관찰한 결과 각 세포에 단핵을 가지는 포자비율이 $95\%$로 단연 많았고 또 미숙회자인 1세포 1핵 포자로부터 출발하여 3세포 3핵인 성숙포자가 형성됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 분열 중인 핵은 배열된 염색체로서 관찰할 수 있었으며, 염색체수는 n=3,4,5,6개로 나타났으나, n=5개가 가장 많았다. 핵이 발아관으로 이동하는 방법은 첫째로 휴지상태에 있던 핵이 분열하여 2핵이 되고 그 중 1핵이 발아관에 이동하고 1핵은 세포내에 머무는 것과$(43\%)$, 둘째 방법은 핵분열 없이 직접 세포내의 1핵이 발아관을 따라 이동하는 것들이 $(57\%)$ 있다. 또 부착기내의 핵을 염색하여 관찰한 결과 무핵의 부착기가 상당히 많았으나 핵질을 가진 500개의 부착기 중에 단핵이 476개로서 $95.2\%$였다(Chromosome 으로 관찰된 4부착기는 제외). 이상의 결과로서 도열병균은 전생활환을 통하여 단핵을 함유한다는 것을 인정할 수 있으며, 도열병균포자가 다세포일지라도 Homokaryon이라고 생각되므로 단포자분리균을 도열병에 관한 모든 시험에 공시하는 것은 합당하다고 할 수 있다.

편광필름용 점착제를 합성하기 위해 아크릴 단량체를 사용하여 용액중합이 수행되었다. 사용된 아크릴 단량체는 2-ethylhexylacrylate, butylacrylate, acrylic acid였으며, 비율은 점착제의 유리전이온도 $-40^{\circ}C$에 맞추어 2-ethylhexylacrylate: butylacrylate: acrylic acid=25:50:3.5로 하였다. 중합된 점착제에 커플링제를 1 wt% 첨가하였을 때 점착제의 광투과율이 매우 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 커플링제의 Si-O 결합이 액정셀에 대한 점착력을 향상시킨 결과임을 알 수 있었다. 가교제를 단량체 대비 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt% 첨가하였을 매 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 초기점착력은 감소하고 응집력은 증가하였다. 접촉각 분석에서 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 표면에너지가 커져 접촉각이 감소하였다. 내열성 측정에서 가교제의 증가나 온도변화에 관계없이 아크릴 점착제는 우수한 내열성을 보였으며 절단면의 관찰에서 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 절단면이 매끄럽고 깨끗하였다. 종합적으로 점착제의 초기점착력, 응집력, 표면에너지, 절단면의 상태 등을 고려하여 적정 가교제의 투입량을 1.0 wt%로 확정하였다.

Background and Objectives : Allergic Contact Dermatitis is the disease affected by industrialization. The more industrialization advanced, the more materials that could induce the allergic contact dermatitis have been increased. Therefore in oriental medicine, various studies have been performed. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Naetakchunkeum-san on the Allergic Contact Dermatitis induced by 2,4-dinitro-chlorobezene(DNCB). Meterial and Methods : Twenty eight mice were divided into four groups ; normal, control, experimental group A and B. Control and experimental group were induced allergic contact dermatitis by DNCB. Experimental group A was orally administered the Naetakchunkeum-san and experimental group B was orally administered the prednisolone. In this study, ear thickness measurement, observation auricle microphotograph, Myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity measurement, Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) analysis of the mRNA level of $TNF-\alpha$, $IL-1\beta$, $INF-\gamma$ were performed on these four groups. In addition, the effect of Naetakchunkeum-san on cell viability and the effect of Naetakchunkeum-san on the compound 48/80-induced histamine release from HMC and RPMC were measured, Results : 1. In contact hypersensitivity assay, experimental group A and B showed decreased ear thickness compared with control group, 2. In experimental group A, pathological lesion of dermatitis were alleviated. In addition, the numbers of infiltrated cells were reduced, and cleft was not shown compared with control group, In experimental group B, similar results were shown. 3. There was a significant increase in MPO activity in control group compared with normal group, Experimental group A and B significantly inhibited the increase in MPO activity compared with control group. 4, The level of expression of $TNF-\alpha$, $IL-1\beta$, $INF-\gamma$ in experimental group A and B were significantly lower than those in control group. As the internal control, cyclophilin mRNA was also reverse-transcribed and amplified. 5, In MTT assay, there were no statistically significant differences in 100 ${\mu}g/ml$, 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, 500 ${\mu}g/ml$, 1000 ${\mu}g/ml$ Naetakchunkeum-san treated group from 0 ${\mu}g/ml$ Naetakchunkeum-san treated group as determined by the Tukey test. 6. Naetakchunkeum-san dose-dependently inhibited the compound 48/80-induced histamine release from both HMC and RPMC.

Soybean transgenic plants with ectopically expressed AtABF3 were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and investigated the effects of AtABF3 expression on drought and salt tolerance. Stable Agrobacterium-mediated soybean transformation was carried based on the half-seed method (Paz et al. 2006). The integration of the transgene was confirmed from the genomic DNA of transformed soybean plants using PCR and the copy number of transgene was determined by Southern blotting using leaf samples from $T_2$ seedlings. In addition to genomic integration, the expression of the transgenes was analyzed by RT-PCR and most of the transgenic lines expressed the transgenes introduced. The chosen two transgenic lines (line #2 and #9) for further experiment showed the substantial drought stress tolerance by surviving even at the end of the 20-day of drought treatment. And the positive relationship between the levels of AtABF3 gene expression and drought-tolerance was confirmed by qRT-PCR and drought tolerance test. The stronger drought tolerance of transgenic lines seemed to be resulted from physiological changes. Transgenic lines #2 and #9 showed ion leakage at a significantly lower level (P < 0.01) than ${\underline{n}}on-{\underline{t}}ransgenic$ (NT) control. In addition, the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of transgenic lines were significantly higher (P < 0.01). The results indicated that their enhanced drought tolerance was due to the prevention of cell membrane damage and maintenance of chlorophyll content. Water loss by transpiration also slowly proceeded in transgenic plants. In microscopic observation, higher stomata closure was confirmed in transgenic lines. Especially, line #9 had 56% of completely closed stomata whereas only 16% were completely open. In subsequent salt tolerance test, the apparently enhanced salt tolerance of transgenic lines was measured in ion leakage rate and chlorophyll contents. Finally, the agronomic characteristics of ectopically expressed AtABF3 transgenic plants ($T_2$) compared to NT plants under regular watering (every 4 days) or low rate of watering condition (every 10 days) was investigated. When watered regularly, the plant height of drought-tolerant line (#9) was shorter than NT plants. However, under the drought condition, total seed weight of line #9 was significantly higher than in NT plants (P < 0.01). Moreover, the pods of NT plants showed severe withering, and most of the pods failed to set normal seeds. All the evidences in the study clearly suggested that overexpression of the AtABF3 gene conferred drought and salt tolerance in major crop soybean, especially under the growth condition of low watering.

본 연구에서는 용액 캐스팅법을 이용하여 각기 다른 함량의 VMT가 첨가된 SPAES/VMT 복합막이 제조되었다. SPAES 매트릭스 내의 VMT입자 분산은 전자주사현미경으로 관찰된 평균분포에 의해 확인되었다. 1 wt%보다 적은 함량을 포함한 복합막은 고분자 매트릭스 내에 좋은 분산성을 나타내어 막의 상부층과 하부층에 매끈한 표면을 가졌다. 복합막의 함수율은 온도가 증가함에 따라 급격하게 증가되었으며 VMT는 높은 이온교환능력으로 인하여 강한 수분친화도를 가짐으로 인해 높은 모든 흡착된 수분은 bound water인 것으로 확인하였다. VMT의 함량이 1 wt%보다 적게 첨가된 복합막에서 증가된 이온전도도와 낮아진 메탄올 투과도를 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 복합막 중에서 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막은 선택도 측면에서 가장 뛰어난 연료전지 성능을 가졌으며 Nafion 112과 비교하여 두배 이상 우수한 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막이 직접메탄올 연료전지의 구동을 위한 가장 우수한 조건이 될것이라 사료된다.

This study was designed to investigate the microglial reactions to the neurodegenerative changes in the cat retina. All experiments were performed using adult cats of both sex, weighing $2,500g\sim3,500g$. 5,7-DHT $(100{\mu}g)$ dissolved in 0.1% ascorbic acid was injected into the vitreous body. All injections were performed in one-side eye; the other side served as the control, which was injected only with 0.1% ascorbic acid. Cats were sacrificed at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after intravitreal injection of 5,7-DHT For light microscopy, retinae were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and processed using NDPase histochemistry. Same retinae were fixed with 1% para(formaldehyde-2.5% glutaraldehyde and processed for electron microscopy. NDPase-positive microglial cells were mainly distributed in the inner plexiform layer of the retina, and characterized by a small somata with a few slender processes, which were also extended in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) and inner nuclear layer (INL). The intensity of the microglia stained for NDPase was abruptly increased at 7 day as compared with that of the control, and thereafter continuously sustained until 21 day, the last experimental group in this study. Under the electron microscopical observation, microglial cells in the control group exhibited elongate nucleus with perinuclear chromatin condensation, and the perikaryon was scanty. However, a few hypertrophic glial cells were frequently found at 3 days after the drug injection. By 7 day, most microglial cells directed toward the degenerated neurons in the GCL, and the number of microglial cells was slightly increased as compared with the former group. At the 14 day, most microglial cells wrapped the degenerated cells in the GCL, and a few cells showed phagocytotic features. By 21 day, most microglial cells were engaged in phagocytotic activity, and their cytoplasm was filled with the phagorytosed material. Based on the results, 5,7-DHT may act as a specific neurotoxin to the cat retina, and microglial reactions to the neuronal death are already induced in early experimental stage. These results indicate that the microglial cells in the cat retina show characteristic features as a protective effect of neural tissue.

표준관측소의 점 단위 기온 관측 및 예보값을 농업분야에서 활용하기 위해서는 공간내삽이 필요한 경우가 많지만 기후학적 평년값 같은 장기간의 평균값 내삽과는 달리 지형효과를 반영하기 어려워 거리역산가중법이 수정 없이 사용되고 있다. 우리 나라처럼 지형이 복잡한 산악지역에서는 수평 거리에만 의존한 내삽 결과에 심각한 오류가 포함될 수 있으므로, 영농지원 정보로서 중요한 일 최저기온을 대상으로 추정오차의 최대근원인 해발고도의 영향을 보정 할 수 있는 간단한 공간내삽모형을 작성하였다. 먼저 남한 육지 상에 위치한 63개 표준관측소에서 수집된 일 최저기온자료와 관측소의 위치, 해안으로부터 거리, 경사향, 표고 등 국지기온 결정인자를 회귀분석 하여 표고에 따른 기온감율 추정식을 날짜의 함수로 표현하였다. 63개 관측점의 표고값을 공간내삽 하여 재구성한 전국의 가상 지형으로부터 1 km$\times$ 1 km 공간단위의 전국 수치고도값 편차를 계산하고, 여기에 해당 날짜의 기온감율을 적용하여 보정값을 계산한다. 기존의 거리역산가중법에 의한 기온추정값을 이 보정값에 의해 수정함으로써 최종 기온값을 얻는다. 임의로 선발된 1999년의 월별 하루씩 총 12일에 대하여 이 모형과 기존 거리역산가중법을 각기 적용하여 267개 자동기상관측지점의 일 최저기온을 추정한후 실측값과 비교하였다 오차평균, 절대오차평균, 그리고 평방근오차평균 등 세가지 추정오차를 분석한 결과 이 방법이 거리역산가중법에 비해 산악지역에서의 일 최저기온 추정에 있어 뚜렷한 개선효과를 보였다.
