Possible links among cosmic ray, cloud, and climate have scientific uncertainties. The reputed topics have been highly controversial during several decades. A link between the atmospheric ionization by galactic cosmic rays (GCR), which is modulated by solar activities, and global cloud cover was firstly proposed in 1997. Some researchers suggested that the GCR can stimulate the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the atmosphere, and then the higher CCN concentrations may lead to an increase of cloud cover, resulting in a cooling of the Earth's climate, and vise versa. The CLOUD (Cosmic leaving outdoor droplets) experiment was designed to study the effect of GCR on the formation of atmospheric aerosols and clouds under precisely controlled laboratory conditions. A state-of-the-art chamber experiment has greatly advanced our scientific understanding of the aerosol formation in early stage and its nucleation processes if the GCR effect is considered or not. Many studies on the climate-GCR (or space weather) connection including the CLOUD experiment have been carried out during the several decades. Although it may not be easy to clarify the physical connection, the recent scientific approaches such as the laboratory experiments or modeling studies give some implications that the research definitively contributed to reduce the scientific uncertainties of natural and anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing as well as to better understand the formation processes of fine particulate matters as an important parameter of air quality forecast.

This study was carried out to establish most suitable freezing condition, to evaluate the different glycerol concentration of freezing and thawing rates on motility, viability, membrane integrity and acrosome intecrity of frozen Korean Jeju Black Bull spermatozoa, Semen was collected from a Korean Jeju Black Bull using an artificial vagina and transported to the laboratory. The semen was extended gradually 1:5 then cooled slowly for 2 hrs to 4$^{\circ}C$. The semen was diluted 1:1 with cryoprotectant extenders (3%, 5% and 7% glycerol) and equilibrated for 2 hrs at cold chamber and packed to 0.5 ml straws. The semen straws were located above 3 cm of liquid nitrogen for 5 minutes, above 5 cm for 10 min and above 8 cm for 10 min. And then the frozen straw was plunged into LN$_2$. The presented straws were examined the viability and motility after thawed at 37$^{\circ}C$ water bath. The viability and membrane integrity immediately post-thawing were significantly higher in samples frozen in 7% glycerol than 3% and 5% glycerol (p<0.05). After CTC staining to assess acrosome integrity, F pattern was significantly increased, but B pattern was significantly decreased in 7% glycerol (p<0.05). Freezing distance of 5 cm from liquid nitrogen and pre-cooling for 10 min yield better survival and membrane integrity, but not significant difference. However, AR pattern according to CTC staining was significantly decreased in 3 cm for 5 min.

We have been developed electrohydraulic left ventricular assist device and done various in vivo evaluation on the device. Through the in vivo experiment conducted from Jan. 23, 1996 to Feb. 8, we could have experience of long-term evaluation fur the first time. The sheep used in this experiment had survived for 16 days. We used new actuator with reduced size and linear motion guide replacing oil box and ball bearings. Also, we used improved blood chamber with reduced size, reduced weight facilitating fixing the chamber to animal's body, and polymer sac having improved folding pattern. Against suction problem, we used absolute pressure limiter only. Motor current for driving this new actuator was not much higher than older one. Effective stroke volume was about 48 cc. Thrombosis was found around top area and peripheral boundary of the sac and valves. There was no sign of damage from suction problem in the atrium observed at autopsy. Main cause of death was presumed to be progressive formation of thrombosis in the cannulae. In this paper, the results of this experiment are documented.

안전방안에서 여포난자가 성숙한다는 것이 몇가지 동물을 이용한 실험에서 밝혀진 바가 있었거니와 여포 난자가 異種의 안전방내에서도 성숙이 가능한 가를 보기 위하여 본 실험을 행하였다. 토끼의 경우 자체의 안전방내에 이식한 여포난자가 다른 동물 즉 흰쥐나 흰생쥐의 안전방에 이식하였을 때보다 낮은 성숙률을 보여 주고 있을 뿐, 흰쥐, 흰생쥐들은 각각 상호간의 안전방에 이식하였을때 同種의 다른 개체의 안정방에서 얻은 결과보다 훨씬 좋은 성숙률을 나타내고 있다. 특히 흰쥐의 여포난자는 숫컷 흰쥐의 안전방에서 24시간 사이에 76%가 제 1및 제 2차 분렬의 증기에 있으며 같은 종류의 수컷 생쥐의 안전방에서 55%가 성숙한 것 보다 훨씬 높은 율을 보여주고 있는 것이다. 안전방의 전방수가 함유단백질의 양이거나 삼투압에 있어서 일반체액이거나 표준배양액의 것들과는 크게 다르며 세포나 조직의 배양액으로는 그다지 적당한 것으로 보이지 않으나 여포난자의 활성획득에는 큰 영향이 없다할 것이다. 특히 異種간의 이식실험에서 얻은 결과가 자체거나 同種간의 이식실험과 거의 같거나 오히려 더 나은 성과를 보여주고 있는데, 는 그 이유에 대해 더 밝혀야 할 문제로 본다. 단지 난자는 성숙분렬을 위한 활성을 갖는데 난자자체의 구성성분 즉 난황물질의 양에 크게 좌우되는 것같으며 또한 난자가 배양될 안전방의 환경요인이 성숙률을 결정하는 데 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다.

Wetland has been known as a major biogenic source of $CH_4$ in globe. In a global scale, the amounts of 55~150 Tg $CH_4$ are released into the atmosphere annually from wetlands; and it accounts for about 21% of total $CH_4$ annual global emission. From August 2010 to August 2011, measurements of major greenhouse gas ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$) emissions were conducted from a freshwater wetland at Kunsan ($35^{\circ}56^{\prime}38.94^{\prime\prime}N$, $126^{\circ}43^{\prime}16.62^{\prime\prime}E$), Korea by using floating closed static chamber method. Flux measurements for these gases from western coastal tidal flat at Seocheon ($36^{\circ}07^{\prime}13.85^{\prime\prime}N$, $126^{\circ}35^{\prime}43.18^{\prime\prime}E$), Korea were managed from July 2011 to February 2012 by using closed static chamber method. The average gas fluxes and ranges from freshwater wetland experiment were $0.155{\pm}0.29\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-0.054~0.942 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $CH_4$, $17.30{\pm}73.27\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-52.44~261.66 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $CO_2$, and $0.004{\pm}0.01\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-0.02~0.07 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $N_2O$, respectively. Monthly base flux measurement results revealed that $CH_4$ fluxes during summer months in high water temperature were significantly high, and at least order of one higher than those during other months. The average fluxes and ranges of these greenhouse gases from tidal flat during the experimental period were $0.002{\pm}0.08\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-0.16~0.22 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $CH_4$, $-31.18{\pm}75.33\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-298.87~101.93 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $CO_2$, and $0.001{\pm}0.01\;mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ (-0.017~0.03 $mg\;m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$) for $N_2O$, respectively. Comparing the results of gas emissions from tidal flat to those from freshwater wetland, we found significantly lower emissions from tidal flat based on the experiment. Physicochemical parameters of water and soil at these experimental plots were also sampled and analyzed for understanding their correlation with these gas emissions.

Objective : This experiment is aimed at clarifying the characteristics of spasmodic basilar arteries in the rabbits of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) with observation of vascular response to nitric oxide(NO) and endothelin-1. Material and Methods : Seventy-nine New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 4 groups : control(n=17), sham operation(n=13), postictal-2-day(n=25), and postictal-7-day group(n=24). Rabbits in the postictal-2-day group and postictal-7-day group underwent transfemoral vertebral angiography 2 days and 7 days after SAH respectively. A vascular ring of spasmodic basilar artery was harvested and suspended in organ chamber($37^{\circ}C$) to observe isometric tension changes in response to NO and endothelin-1 under both high(95% $O_2$/5% $CO_2$) and low(95% $N_2$/5% $CO_2$) $O_2$ tension. To investigate the vascular response to NO, acetylcholine from $10^{-7}M$ to $3{\times}10^{-4}M$ concentration was applied to basilar artery ring precontracted with histamine $10^{-6}-10^{-5}M$ in the organ chamber. The vascular response to endothelin-1 was observed by applying endothelin-1 from $10^{-11}M$ to $3{\times}10^{-8}M$ concentration into organ chamber. Results : Seven of 15 live rabbits which underwent angiography 2 days after SAH, were confirmed to develop vasospasm($64.3{\pm}11.2%$) whereas seven of 13 live rabbits which underwent angiography 7 days after SAH, were confirmed to develop vasospasm($64.9{\pm}10.9%$). In all groups, hypoxia significantly reduced the vascular relaxation of basilar arteries to NO. However, hypoxia made no influence on the vascular contraction of basilar arteries to endothelin-1 in all groups. In vascular relaxation of basilar arteries to NO under high $O_2$ tension between groups, the maximum relaxation of basilar arteries in the postictal-7-day group was significantly reduced compared to the postictal-2-day group. In vascular contraction of basilar arteries to endothelin-1 under high $O_2$ tension between groups, the maximum contraction of basilar arteries in the postictal-7-day group was significantly reduced compared to the postictal-2-day group. Conclusions : This experiment suggests that the characteristics of vascular response to NO and endothelin-1 in the spasmodic basilar arteries of rabbits observed 2 days after SAH is different from those observed 7 days after SAH.

본 실험은 사료내 아미노산 균형과 라이신 함량이 성장기 브로일러의 에너지 대사 중 Heat production(HP)과 질소 대사에 어떤 영향을 미치는 규명하기 위해 실시하였다. 실험1은 여러 단계의 조단백 함량과, 제1제한 아미노산으로써 일정 농도의 라이신 함량으로 만들어진 사료로 테스트하였다. 실험2에서는 이와 반대로 일정한 조단백 함량과 각기 다른 수준의 라이신을 함유한 사료들을 사용하였다. Thermoregulatory demand에 따른 영향을 최소화하기 위해 실험3은 이전 실험들(20 $^{\circ}C$)보다 높은 온도인 30 $^{\circ}C$에서 시행되었다. 에너지 및 질소 대사 실험은 컴퓨터로 제어되는 multi-chamber calorimeter system을 사용하여 조사하였으며 사료의 단백질 및 라이신 조성에 따른 닭의 HP를 측정하였다. 또한 이를 통해 나온 결과들은 에너지 대사 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 모델을 통한 예측치와 비교하였다. 다양한 단백질 함량과 일정한 라이신 함량의 사료를 통한 실험에서 단백질 함량이 증가함에 따라 질소 섭취에서는 75 %의 증가가 나타났다. 이것은 질소 배출에 있어서 150 %의 증가를 가져왔으나 이에 따른 HP에 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 다양한 라이신 함량과 일정한 단백질 함량의 사료를 사용한 실험2에서는 최저 라이신과 최고 라이신 처리구 간에 3배의 증체량의 차이를 보여주었다. HP에 있어서는 라이신 증가에 따라 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 체중 보정치에 있어서는 유의차가 사라졌다. 실험1과 실험2, 두 실험의 시뮬레이션을 통한 HP 계산치에 있어서도 처리구들 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 30 $^{\circ}C$에서 실시된 실험3에서는 실험2와 동일하게 라이신 함량 증가에 따라 HP가 유의적으로 증가하였으나 그 경향은 이전 실험보다 크게 나타났다. 결과를 종합 할 때, 총 HP의 발생은 사료의 단백질 함량보다는 제한 아미노산 농도와 더욱 관련이 깊으며, 아미노산 불균형에 따른 질소 배출로 인해 발생하는 energy cost가 차지하는 비율은 높지 않은 것으로 사료된다. 또한 질소 축적율에서 볼 때, 사료내 아미노산 균형이 체내 질소 이용효율과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다.

핵의학검사에서 방사성의약품의 표지효율은 검사의 정확성과 신뢰성 측면에서 중요하다. 보통 Brain SPECT검사에 사용되는 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO는 화학적으로 불안정하고 불순물의 발생이 많아 표지효율의 저하가 나타나기 쉽다. 이에 본 연구는 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO의 표지효율에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 실험을 통해 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO 표지 및 사용에 도움이 되고자 한다. Brain SPECT에 사용되는 국산 동아제약의 HMPAO vial을 대상으로 실험하였다. 삼영사의 generator 55.5 GBq (1,500 mCi)를 이용하였고, TLC 측정세트(ITLC-SG, butanone, saline, TLC chamber)와 Radio-TLC 스캐너(Bioscan, AR-2000)를 이용하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 generator에서 1, 8, 16, 24, 28시간 간격을 두고 용출한 $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 각각 HMPAO와 표지하여 표지효율을 측정하였다. 두 번째 실험은 generator에서 용출한 $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 0, 1, 3, 6시간경과에 따라 1.85GBq (50mCi)/1 ml를 취하여 HMPAO와 표지하여 표지효율을 측정하였다. 세 번째는 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO를 표지 후 0, 30분, 3시간, 5시간, 7시간이 경과했을 때 표지효율을 측정하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서 표지효율은 시간 순으로 95.05%, 94.64%, 94.94%, 95.64%, 96.76%로 나타났다. 두 번째 실험에서는 94.38%, 94.23%, 93.26%, 91.03%로 나타났다. 세 번째 실험에서는 95.76%, 94.17%, 88.19%, 83.6%, 76.86%로 나타났다. 첫 번째 실험에서 generator에서 24시간 후에용출한 $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 사용 한 표지효율은 비교적 높게 측정되었다. 추가실험을 통하여 임상에서의 사용 가능성에 대한 논의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 두 번째 실험에서 시간이 지날수록 표지효율은 다소 감소하였으나 6시간 이후에도 91% 이상으로 높게 측정되었다. 보충실험을 통하여 보완이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 세 번째 실험에서 시간이 흐를수록 표지효율은 급격하게 감소하였다. 특히, 정확한 검사를 위해 표지후 3시간 이내에 사용하는 것이 좋다고 판단된다.

To test the quality change of seedlings of three domestic medicinal plants raised in plug trays, a short term storage experiment was conducted. Seedlings were kept in growth chambers for two weeks at 4 or $8^{\circ}C$ temperature combined with 0 or $5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD. Quality of glasshouse-raised seedlings was assessed after two weeks of cold storage in the growth chamber and one week of acclimation in the greenhouse. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber of Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo, plant height was the greatest in the treatment $8^{\circ}C$ combined with $0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD. Internode length of P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo was the greatest in the treatment of $4^{\circ}C$ combined with $0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD. After one week of acclimatization in a glasshouse, the growth and development, such as plant height, internode length and leaf size, were greater in the $8^{\circ}C$ combined with $5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD than in the other treatments. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber of Sophora tonkinensis, plant height increased more in the treatment of $4^{\circ}C$ than $8^{\circ}C$. After one week of acclimatization in a glasshouse, number of leaves did not change in the treatment of $4^{\circ}C$ combined with $0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD, but it increased in the other treatments. Leaf width increased more under the dark than light condition. Leaf length did not observably change in any treatments. After two weeks of storage in the growth chamber, plant height of Angelica gigas Nakai was the greatest in the treatment of $8^{\circ}C$. Number of leaves was the greatest in the treatment of $8^{\circ}C$. Leaf growth was greater under dark than light condition. These results suggested that optimal storage environment was $8^{\circ}C$ combined with $5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD for P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo, and $4^{\circ}C$ combined with $0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD for S. tonkinensis and A. gigas Nakai. Hence, proper combination of temperature and PPFD were necessary for better storage, and acclimatization and growth, thereafter, of the plug seedlings of theses plant species.
