The present study examined the possibility of cryopreservation of the D-shaped and umbo larvae of arkshell (Scapharca broughtonii), in terms of the survival rates after freezing and thawing. D-shaped and umbo larvae of arkshells were obtained from a shellfish farming on Yosu city. The average shell lengths were $93.3 \pm 10.1 \mu$m and $201.7 \pm 13.5 \mu$, respectively. Five cryoprotectants (CPAs), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), glycerol, ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG), and methanol, were tested at the concentrations of 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 M. After larvae suspended in CPAs, cryoprotectants were loaded in 0.5 ml straws at a larval density of 50-100 larvae per straw, and epuilibrated for 10 and 20 minute at room temperature ($23^{\circ}C$), repectively. Straws were cooled at a rate of $1^{\circ}C$/min from $0^{\circ}C$ to $-12^{\circ}C$, held for 5 min at $-12^{\circ}C$, and then cooled at $2^{\circ}C$/min to $-35^{\circ}C$ and equilibrated for 5 min followed by plunging in liquid nitrogen. After storage in liquid nitrogen for 1 day, straws were thawed in a $30^{\circ}C$ water. As soon as straws were observed to melt, larvae were diluted with an equal volume of ASW and then washed twice with a large volume of ASW at an interval of 2 min to unload the CPAs. The results showed that after equilibration for 10 and 20 minute at room temperature, no larvae survived using methanol as CPAs, and it was observed that larval shells all open slightly, and larval flesh broke down and slopped over the shells. The highest survival rates (D-shaped larvae: 77.6%, umbo larvae: 59.3%) were obtained with 2M DMSO, and 1.5M glycerol yielded survival rates of 53.8% for D-shaped larvae and 37.5% for umbo larvae. The surviving D-shaped larvae showed active rotary motion and perfect membrane integrity and cytoplasmic normality, and the vigorous movement of veliger cilia was observed inside the closed shells. The breakdown of tissue occurred in the abnormal larvae, and the isolated cell often run out of shells.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of correct occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) on intracardiac blood flow and thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Materials and Methods: Three life-sized 3D-printed left atrium (LA) phantoms, including a pre-occlusion (i.e., before the occlusion procedure) model and correctly and incorrectly occluded post-procedural models, were constructed based on cardiac computed tomography images from an 86-year-old male with long-standing persistent AF. A custom-made closed-loop flow circuit was set up, and pulsatile simulated pulmonary venous flow was delivered by a pump. 4D flow MRI was performed using a 3T scanner, and the images were analyzed using MATLAB-based software (R2020b; Mathworks). Flow metrics associated with blood stasis and thrombogenicity, such as the volume of stasis defined by the velocity threshold ($\left|\vec{V}\right|$ < 3 cm/s), surface-and-time-averaged wall shear stress (WSS), and endothelial cell activation potential (ECAP), were analyzed and compared among the three LA phantom models. Results: Different spatial distributions, orientations, and magnitudes of LA flow were directly visualized within the three LA phantoms using 4D flow MRI. The time-averaged volume and its ratio to the corresponding entire volume of LA flow stasis were consistently reduced in the correctly occluded model (70.82 mL and 39.0%, respectively), followed by the incorrectly occluded (73.17 mL and 39.0%, respectively) and pre-occlusion (79.11 mL and 39.7%, respectively) models. The surfaceand-time-averaged WSS and ECAP were also lowest in the correctly occluded model (0.048 Pa and 4.004 Pa^-1, respectively), followed by the incorrectly occluded (0.059 Pa and 4.792 Pa^-1, respectively) and pre-occlusion (0.072 Pa and 5.861 Pa^-1, respectively) models. Conclusion: These findings suggest that a correctly occluded LAA leads to the greatest reduction in LA flow stasis and thrombogenicity, presenting a tentative procedural goal to maximize clinical benefits in patients with AF.

근년에 내만성 굴양식장의 생산성이 저하함에 따라 대체종으로 미더덕과 횐멍게가 주목되면서 이 종들의 생태적 지위가 기존의 양식굴과 상충되는지 여부를 알아보기 위한 일련의 조사계획의 하나로서 여수율을 조사하였으며, 조사결과와 Kim (1995)의 양식굴의 여수율 ($\ast$)을 비교 검토하였다. 1. 폐쇄계에서 해수수온 $10^{\circ}C,\;15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C,\;29^{\circ}C$일때 시간에 따른 현탁색소의 제거율을 측정하고, Kim (1995)의 계산식을 사용하여 여수율을 계산하였다. 현탁색소는 neutral red를 사용하였으며, 22mm 흡수셀을 사용하여 440nm에서 초기흡광도 $0.25\~0.30$을 나타내는 농도를 사용하였다. 2. 여수율은 한시간동안 실험생물 1개체가 여수하는 양을 그 개체의 건조중량으로 나누어서 단위시간당 단위건조육중량당 여수량 (${\ell}/gDW/hr$)으로 산출하고, 이것이 개체 건조육중량과 수온에 의하여 받는 영향을 회귀경향식으로 해석하여, 종별 개체여수율 ($F,\;{\ell}/hr/animal$) 모형으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 4. 종별로 수확시의 수온과 개체 평균중량 자료를 사용하여 연승 1대 (100m)당 집단 여수율을 계산한 결과는 다음과 같았다.

본 연구는 남해동부 연안 해역에서 환경요인과 식물플랑크톤 군집특성 및 Cochlodinium polykrikoides의 초기 발생이 내만에서 일어날 수 있는 가능성을 파악하기 위하여 17개의 정점에서 2016년 하계 7월6일 에서 8월 24일 동안 2주 간격으로 단기집중조사를 수행하였다. 수온은 7월 6일 조사 시 $22.3{\pm}2.69^{\circ}C$에서 8월 24일 조사 시 $28.4{\pm}0.78^{\circ}C$로 1차 대비 약 $6.01^{\circ}C$ 상승하였고, 염분은 내측 정점 8~13에서 상대적으로 일정하게 높게 나타났다. 7월 6일 조사에서 약 150 mm(10일 누적)에 달하는 강우가 관찰되어 영양염이 높게 공급되었고, 이로 인해 높은 Chl. a가 높게 관찰되었다. 종조성은 은편모조류가 평균 58.3 %(Crpytomonas spp.)로 극우점하였고, 특이적으로 정점 5에서 와편모조류 Prorocentrum spp.(주로 P. triestrium)가 32.2 %로 극히 높은 비율을 차지하였다. 7월 20일 조사에서 대부분 규조류 Chaetoceros spp. 가 61.0 %를 점유하였다. 정점 4에서 Skeletonema spp.가 $7.44{\times}10^6cell\;L^{-1}$로 높은 개체수를 보였으나, 다른 정점에서는 출현하지 않거나 낮게 관찰되었다. 8월 4일 조사와 8월 24일 조사에서 평균 식물플랑크톤 개체수는 매우 낮았으며, 우점종은 8월 4일 조사에서 규조류가 78.0 %(Chaetoceros spp.)로 높게 나타났고, 8월 24일 조사에서도 규조류가 73.3 %(Pseudo-nitzschia spp., Rhizosolenia spp.)로 높은 점유율을 보였다. 본 연구에서 C. polykrikoides의 출현은 관찰되지 않아, 연안 내만 및 항구에서 휴면포자에 의한 유영세포 유입의 가능성은 낮을 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 동해남부해역에서의 반폐쇄적인 내만 특성으로 염분과 영양염류와 같은 환경특성이 각 정점별 명확한 차이를 보였고, 이로 인해 식물플랑크톤 우점종 및 군집조성이 시공간적으로 매우 다르게 나타났다.
