Purpose : The study was aimed to detect the differences in the cell viability and the apoptosis induction after irradiation on normal and tumorigenic cells. Materials and Methods : The study. that was generated for two human normal cells(RHEK, HGF-l) and two human tumor cells(KB. HT-1080). was tested using MTT assay at 1 day and 3 day after irradiation and TUNEL assay under confocal laser scanning microscope at 1 day after irradiation. Single irradiation of 0.5. 1, 2. 4. and 8Gy were applied to the cells. The two fractions of 1. 2. 4. and 8Gy were separated with a 4-hour time interval. The irradiation was done with 5.38Gy/min dose rate using Cs-137 irradiator at room temperature. Results and Conclusions : 1. In 3-day group. the cell viability of HGF-1 cell was significantly decreased at 2. 4 and 8Gy irradiation, the cell viability of KB cell was significantly decreased at 8Gy irradiation and the cell viability of HT-I080 cell was significantly decreased at 4 and 8Gy irradiation. 2. There was significant difference between RHEK and KB cell line in the cell viability of 3-day group at 8Gy irradiation. There was significant difference between RHEK and HGF-1 cell line in the cell viability of 3-day group at 4 and 8Gy irradiation. 3. There was a significantly decreased cell viability in 3-day group than those in 1-day group at 2. 4 and 8Gy on HGF-1 cell. at 4 and 8Gy on HT-I080 cell. at 8Gy on KB cell. 4. We could detect DNA fragmented cells only on KB cell. Number of apoptotic cells of KB cell was significantly increased at 4 and 8Gy irradiation. However, there was no correlation between cell viability and apoptosis. 5. On all 4 cell lines, there were no differences between single and split irradiation method in cell viability and apoptosis.

셀 카운팅은 세포의 성장을 분석하는 방법으로써 생물학연구에서 가장 많이 사용된다. 최근까지도 다양한 자동 셀 카운팅 기법이 제안되고 있지만 암세포와 같이 분열 속도가 빠르고 군집하려는 성질을 갖는 세포들은 분리 및 검출이 쉽지 않아 세포 이미지 분석을 통하여 셀 카운팅의 신뢰도를 높이기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 암 연구의 연구재료로 매우 보편적으로 사용되는 HeLa 세포 이미지 분석을 이용한 자동 셀 카운팅 방법을 제시한다. 세포막 추출 기반의 세포 분할 알고리즘을 통하여 세포의 형태적 상황을 구분하고, 세포 간 경계가 희미한 세포군집 내의 세포 분할을 위하여 역추적 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 셀 카운팅 정확도를 높인다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 세포 분할 알고리즘이 기존의 세포 분할 알고리즘에 비해 정확함을 입증하였고, 결과적으로 매우 높은 자동 셀 카운팅 정확도를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

To investigate the relationship between several intraoral soft tissue lesions(hairy tongue, lichen planus, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral candidiasis, glossitis and oral herpetic lesion) and oral mucosal keratinization, exfoliative cytological smear on intraoral mucosal surfaces were performed on each number of patients and 25 controls keratinization cell (yellow-stained cell) ratio was then measured. In hairy tongue, there was no significant difference between patient group and control group in all kind of cells. Only blue cell ratio of women was more than of men in patient group. In lichen planus, there was no difference between patient and control group in yellow cell ratio. Red cell ratio in the control group was more than in the patient group. Blue cell ratio in the patient group was more than that in control group. But there was no sex predilection between both groups in the ratio of all kind of cells. In recurrent aphthous stomatitis, Yellow cell ratio in the control group was more than that in the patient group. Red cell ratio in the control group was more than that in control group. Blue cell ratio in the patient group was more than that in control group. But there was no sex predilection between both groups in the ratio of all kind of cells. In oral candidiasis, Yellow cell ratio in the control group was more than that in the patient group. Red cell ratio in the control group was more than that in control group. Blue cell ratio in the patient group was more than that in control group. There was no sex predilection between both groups in yellow cell ratio. Red cell ratio of women was more than of men in patient group. Blue cell ratio of men was more than of women in patient group. In herpetic lesions, there was no difference between patient and control group in yellow cell ratio. Red cell ratio in the control group was more than in the patient group. Blue cell ratio in the patient group was more than that in control group. Yellow cell ratio of women was more than of men in control group. Red cell ratio of men was more than of women in control group. Blue cell ratio of men was more than of women in patient group. In glossitis, Yellow cell ratio in the control group was more than in the patient group. There was no difference between patient and control group in red cell ratio. Blue cell ratio in the patient group was more than that in control group. Yellow cell ratio of women was more than of men in control group. Red cell ratio and blue cell ratio of men were more than of women in control group. According to above results, the ratio of keratinized cell in atrophic, ulcerated, or pseudomembranous lesions was lowered than in control, but the ratio of keratinized cell in keratotic, vesicular or lesions on keratinized surface lesions had no difference to control group. Thus, keratotic, vesicular or lesions on keratinized surface lesions have not closely relation to mucosal keratinization. And, there was a little sex predilection between men and wemen in mucosal keratinization.

악성종양의 발생과 진행에 면역 방어기능이 중요한 역할을 하리라는 가설은 모두가 공감하는 사실이다. 이중 T-lymphocyte와 Natural killer cell (이하 NK cell이라함)은 종양 면역학에 특히 중요한 임파구로 이런 임파구의 혈액분포양상은 면역방어기능을 짐작할 수 있는 간접적인 자료가 될 수 있다. 저자들은 치료전 두경부 악성종양환자에서 혈액을 채취하여 T-lymphocyte와NK cell의 분포양상을 검사하고, 방사선치료 환자에서는 NK cell activity를 측정하였기에 다음과 같은 결과를 보고하는 바이다. 1) 두경부 악성 종양 환자군에서 CD3+ cell은 감소하고 NK cell은 증가하며 CD4/CD8 비율은 변화가 없었다. 2) 병변이 진행되면서 CD3+ cell과 CD4+ cell은 감소하고 NK cell은 증가하였으며 CD4/CD8 비율의 변화는 없었다. 3) 방사선치료에 의해 CD3+ cell과 CD4+ cell, CD4/CD8 비율은 감소하였고, NK cell과CD8+cell은 증가하였다. 4) 방사선치료에 의한 CD4/CD8 비율의 감소와, CD8+ cell의 증가는 NK cell의 증가에 의한 것이라 추정되고, NK cell을 제외하면 CB4/CD8 비율의 변화는 없었다. 5) 방사선치료 환자에서 NK cell activity는 증가하였고, 이런 증가가 T-lymphocyte기능의 감소를 보상해 주고 있었다.

Neural cell survival is an essential concern in the aging brain and many diseases of the central nervous system. Neural transplantation of the stem cells are already applied to clinical trials for many degenerative neurological diseases, including Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and strokes. A critical problem of the neural transplantation is how to reduce their apoptosis and improve cell survival. Neurotrophic factors generally contribute as extrinsic cues to promote cell survival of specific neurons in the developing mammalian brains, but the survival factor for neural stem cell is poorly defined. To understand the mechanism controlling stem cell death and improve cell survival of the transplanted stem cells, we investigated the effect of plausible neurotrophic factors on stem cell survival. The neural stem cell, HiB5, when treated with PDGF prior to transplantation, survived better than cells without PDGF. The resulting survival rate was two fold for four weeks and up to three fold for twelve weeks. When transplanted into dorsal hippocampus, they migrated along hippocampal alveus and integrated into pyramidal cell layers and dentate granule cell layers in an inside out sequence, which is perhaps the endogenous pathway that is similar to that in embryonic neurogenesis. Promotion of the long term-survival and differentiation of the transplanted neural precursors by PDGF may facilitate regeneration in the aging adult brain and probably in the injury sites of the brain.

Objectives: Little information is available regarding the effect of Lycii cortex radicis (LCR) on cell viability in glioma cells. This study was therefore undertaken to examine the effect of LCR on cell survival in U87MG human glioma cells. Methods: Cell viability and cell death were estimated by MTT assay and trypan blue exclusion assay, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was measured using the fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Activation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and activation of caspase-3 were estimated by Western blot analysis. Results: LCR resulted in apoptotic cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. LCR increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and LCR-induced cell death was also prevented by antioxidants, suggesting that ROS generation played a critical role in LCR-induced cell death. Western blot analysis showed that LCR treatment caused down-regulation of Akt and ERK. The LCR-induced cell death was increased by the inhibitors of Akt and ERK. Activation of caspase-3 was stimulated by LCR and caspase inhibitors prevented the LCR-induced cell death. Conclusion: These findings suggest that LCR results in human glioma cell death through a mechanism involving ROS generation, down-regulation of Akt and ERK, and caspase activation.

The cell wall components of fruit include cellulose. hemicellulose, pectin, glycoprotein etc., and the cell wall composition differs according to the kind of fruit. Fruit softening occurs as a result of a change in the cell wall polysaccharides : the middle lamella which links primary cell walls is composed of pectin. and primary cell walls are decomposed by a solution of middle lamella caused due to a result of pectin degradation by pectin degrading enzymes during ripening and softening, During fruit ripening and softening, contents of arabinose and galactose among non-cellulosic neutral sugars are notably decreased, and this occurs as a result of the degradation of pectin during fruit repening and softening since they are side-chained with pectin in the form of arabinogalactan and galactan Enzymes involved in the degradation of the cell wall include polygalacturonase, cellulose, pectinmethylesterase, glycosidase, etc., and various studies have been done on the change in enzyme activities during the ripening and softning of fruit. Among cell wall-degrading enzymes, polygalacturonase has the greatest effect on fruit softening, and its activity Increases during the maturating and softening of fruit. This softening leads to the textural change of fruit as a result of the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides by a cell wall degrading enzyme which exists in fruit.

Self Organizing Map (SOM) is a neural network that is effective in classifying patterns that form the feature map by extracting characteristics of the input data. In this study, we propose an algorithm to determine the cell formation and the machine layout within the cell for the cell formation problem with operation sequence using the SOM. In the proposed algorithm, the output layer of the SOM is a one-dimensional structure, and the SOM is applied to the parts and the machine in two steps. The initial cell is formed when the formed clusters is grouped largely by the utilization of the machine within the cell. At this stage, machine cell are formed. The next step is to create a flow matrix of the all machine that calculates the frequency of consecutive forward movement for the machine. The machine layout order in each machine cell is determined based on this flow matrix so that the machine operation sequence is most reflected. The final step is to optimize the overall machine and parts to increase machine layout efficiency. As a result, the final cell is formed and the machine layout within the cell is determined. The proposed algorithm was tested on well-known cell formation problems with operation sequence shown in previous papers. The proposed algorithm has better performance than the other algorithms.

Purpose: This study was done to identify cell phone addiction in high school students and variables predicting this addiction. Methods: The participants were 469 adolescents from four high schools. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires, and analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: Of the high school students, 88.4% reported being average users, 7.5%, heavy users, and 4.1%, cell phone addicted. Cell phone addiction was significantly correlated with immediate self-control, self-efficacy, depression, and peer support. Predictors of cell phone addiction were the following: receiving text message on weekends, immediate self-control, main use (text message), minute per call on weekdays, listening to music, gender (female), monthly call charges, depression, person called (friends), and self-efficacy. These factors explained 39% of variance in cell phone addiction. Conclusion: The above findings indicate that cell phone addiction in high school students was influenced by gender, cell phone use, and psychological factors. Therefore the approach to effective cell phone addiction management for high school students is to consider these variables when developing programs for these students.
