Recent studies demonstrate that collagen IV selectively pro-motes the repair of physiological processes in sublethally injured renal proximal tubular ceils (RPTC). We sought to further define the mechanisms of cell repair by measuring the effects of toxicant injury and stimulation of repair by L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AscP), exogenous collagen IV, or function-stimulating integrin antibodies on the expression and subcellular localization of collagen-binding integrins (CBI) in RPTC. Expression of CBI subunits ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_2$, and ${\beta}_1$ in RPTC was not altered on day 1 after sublethal injury by S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC). On day 6, expression of ${\alpha}_1$ and ${\beta}_1$ subunits remained unchanged, whereas a 2.2-fold increase in ${\alpha}_2$ expression was evident in injured RPTC. CBI localization in control RPTC was limited exclusively to the basal membrane. On day 1 after injury, RPTC exhibited a marked inhibition of active $Na^+$ transport and a loss of cell polarity characterized by a decrease in basal CBI localization and the appearance of CBI on the apical membrane. On day 6 after injury, RPTC still exhibited marked inhibition of active $Na^+$ transport and localization of CBI to the apical membrane. However, DCVC-injured RPTC cultured in pharmacological concentrations of AscP (500 ${\mu}$M)or exogenous collagen IV (50 ${\mu}$g/ml) exhibited an increase inactive $Na^+$ transport, relocalization of CBI to the basal membrane, and the disappearance of CBI from the apical membrane on day 6. Function-stimulating antibodies to CBI ${\beta}_1$ did not promote basal relocalization of CBI despite stimulating the repair of $Na^+$/$K^+$-ATPase activity on day 6 after injury. These data demonstrate that DCVC disrupts integrin localization and that physiological repair stimulated by AscP or collagen IV is associated with the basal relocalization of CBI in DCVC-injured RPTC. These data also suggest that CBI-mediated repair of physiological functions may occur independently of integrin relocalization.

This study had conducted to push our society for getting some proper measures of the anti-drug abuse and adopting this study as a fundamental data for the school health education. Sample subjects were the 3rd grade of high school in Chungnam Province and the number were 1,014. The data had been collected on Dec. 3th-8th, 1990 according to the tool of Institute on Drug Abuse of Korea. And then Frequency and $x^2-test$ were need to analyse of data by SPSS-X program. The results of this study could be summarized as follows. 1. They had used 14 kinds of drugs: $70.1\%$ of the subjects students used alcohol, $69.2\%$ analgesics, $38.6\%$ cigarette, $15.0\%$ stimulants, $14.7\%$ antitussives, $11.2\%$ antithistamines, $8.9\%$ hypnotics, $7.1\%$tranquilizers, $4.2\%$ inhalants, $2.3\%$ marijuana, $1.4\%$ hallucinogens, $0.9\%$ cocaine, $0.6\%$ amphetamines, and $0.6\%$narcotics. The boys' drug using rate is higher than girls' except in analgesics and stimulants. 2. With respect to misbehaving, $43.0\%$ of the students said they had pop houses, $42.4\%$ adult video, $17.4\%$ unexcused absence from school, $11.0\%$ dangerous weapon, $9.1\%$ sexual intercourse, $70.1\%$ disappearance from home, 8.0% blackmail, and $6.0\%$ assault. In every kinds of misbehaving, the boys' misbehaving rate is higher than the girls'. 3. Almost every kinds of drugs have the students first used at the age of 15 through. 18. And $13.8\%$ of the students smoked every da·y and $1.7\%$ drank every day. 4. The frequency of the drug using such as cigarette (p<.01), marijuana (p<.05), cocaine (p<.05) and narcotics (p<.05) showed the stastically significant differences according to the religions of the subjects 5. The subjects who has complaints about someone use more drugs than the ones who doesn't, and who doesn't have any complaints about five elements have never used drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, narcotics, hallucinogens, and inhalants. 6. The drug using subjects have the more experiences of adult video, pop houses, and unexcused absent from school than the non-drug using ones. It means that the subjects who use drug were apt to do misbehaving more often than the ones who have never used them, and delinquent boys and girls use more drugs.

Various kaolin samples with different alumina content were prepared from calcined admixture of kaolin and ammonium sulfate by varying the treatment time in sulfuric acid. Samples were nitridated under N2 or N2-H2 atmosphere with changing the amount of added carbon, the reaction time and temperature. As the alumina content lowered, the size of kaolin particles decreased and the specific surface area increased. XRD analysis indicated that ${\alpha}$-quartz remained by decomposition of halloysite and meta-halloysite. Experimental results of nitridation behavior are summerized as follows; 1) Nitridation under N2 atmosphere. With the increase of C/SiO2 ratio and with the decrease of Al2O3 content, disappearance of XRD pattern peaks of mullite, ${\alpha}$-quartz and ${\alpha}$-Al2O3 were accelerated at 1300$^{\circ}C$. SiC was the main phase in the reaction product of acid-treated kaolin samples nitridated at 1300$^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours regardless of C/SiO2 ratio. But the XRD peak intensities of ${\beta}$-Si3N4, ${\beta}$-sialon and SiC did not show much difference when untreated raw kaolin was fired at the same condition. When the ratio of C/SiO2 was 3.5, ${\beta}$-sialon and ${\beta}$-Si3N4 existed in the reaction product of about 22% alumina containing kaolin sample fired at 1350$^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Only ${\beta}$-sialon existed in the same sample fired at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. ${\beta}$-sialon was obtained from all of the acid-treated kaolin samples fired at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, but AlN and SiC remained in the untreated kaolin sample. Z value of the ${\beta}$-sialon obtained from the 22% alumina containing kaolin sample fired at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours was about 1.3(XRD) and 1.5(EDS). 2) Nitridation under 80N2+2OH2 mixed gas atmosphere with the C/SiO2 ratio of 1 Mullite was not found, but ${\alpha}$-Si3N4, and ${\beta}$-sialon were present in the reaction product of about 22% alumina containing kaolin sample fired at 1300$^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. When untreated kaolin sample was nitridated at the same condition, mullite remained. AlN and SiC were not found in the reaction product of about 22% alumina containing kaolin sample fired at 1350$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. On the other hand, AlN and SiC remained in the product of untreated kaolin fired at the same condition.

Biomass changes, net primary production and transfer dynamics of dry matter in four subtropical humid montane grasslands at Ebbenadu, Korakundah, Thiashola and Wenlockdown in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR), the Western Ghats, India, were investigated. Despite the early report of a higher density and dominance of $C_4$ species over $C_3$ species in these grasslands, no functional study of matter production had previously been carried out. Therefore, in order to determine the roles played by these two groups of species, the present study was attempted. The study revealed that the dry matter and net primary production contributed by $C_4$ species were much greater than those of its $C_3$ counterpart in all the grasslands. The turnover rate of aboveground dry matter for both $C_3$ and $C_4$ species was generally rapid, whereas it was slow for belowground parts, and litter components of $C_3$ and $C_4$ species together. In all grasslands, generally about 60% and 10% of the input were channeled to aboveground and belowground parts, respectively, by the $C_4$ species, whereas the $C_3$ species transferred only about 22% and 8% of dry matter to aboveground and belowground parts, respectively. The total disappearance of dry matter was 2.73, 2.10, 3.19, and $1.96\;g\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$ in Ebbenadu, Korakundah, Thiashola and Wenlockdown grasslands, which was 48.83%, 44.30%, 54.81%, and 41.09% of the total input, respectively, in these grasslands. This resulted in a considerable surplus dry matter production in all the grasslands studied. This balance sheet of dry matter in community function indicates that all the four studied grasslands were supporting the existing wild animals adequately in terms of pasture supply. The study further revealed that the stronger establishment of $C_4$ species rather than their $C_3$ counterparts, in terms of higher density and dominance, has driven them to play major roles in matter dynamics and system transfer functions in all the four grasslands studied. This fact evidenced that pasture from $C_4$ species for wild animals was determined to be higher in comparison to that of $C_3$ species.

Objective : The exact position of the lesion during the pallidotomy is critical to obtain the clinical improvement of parkinson's disease without damage to surrounding structure. Ventriculogrphy, CT(computed tomograpy) or MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) have been used to determine the initial coordinates of stereotactic target for pallidotomy. The goal of this study was to determine whether microelectrode recording significantly improves the neurophysiologic localization of the target obtained from MRI. Methods : Twenty patients were studied. They underwent a unilateral pallidotomy. Leksell frame was applied and T1 axial images parallel to the AC-PC(anterior commissure-posterior commissure) plane using a 1.5 Tesla MRI with 3mm slice thickness were obtained. Anteroposterior coordinate of target was chosen at 2mm in front of the midcommissural point and lateral coordinate between 19 and 22mm from the midline. The vertical coordinate was calculated on coronal slice using a fast spin echo inversion recovery sequence(FSEIR) related to the position of the choroidal fissure and ranged over 4-5mm below the AC-PC plane. Confirmation of the anatomical target was done on axial slices using the same FSEIR sequence . Microrecording was done at the pallidum contralateral to the symptomatic side using an electrode with a tip diameter of $1{{\mu}m}$ diameter tip and 1.1-1.4 mOhm impedance at 1000Hz. Electrophysiologic localization of the target was also confirmed intraoperatively by macrostimulation. Results : Microrecording techniques were reliable to define the transition from the base of the pallidum which was characterized by the disappearance of spike activity and by the change of the audible background activity. Signals from high amplitude neurons firing at 200-400Hz were recorded in the pallidal base. X, Y and Z coordinates of target obtained from the MRI were within 1mm from the X, Y, Z coordinates obtained with microrecording in 16 patients (80%), 15 patients(75%), 10 patients(50%) respectively. The difference of Y coordinate between on MRI and on microrecording was 4mm in only one patient. Conclusion : The MRI was accurate to localize the target within 1mm of the error from microrecording target in 70% of the patients. 4mm discrepancy was observed only once. We conclude that MRI alone can be used to determine the target for pallidotomy in most patients. However, microrecording technique can still be extremely valuable in patents with aberrant anatomy or unusual MRI coordinates. We also consider physiologic confirmation of the target using macrostimulation to be mandatory in all cases.

Object : Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the anti-cancer effects of Mylabris phalerata (반모) in some kinds of cancer cells. Materials and Methods: Some kinds of cancer cells lines were treated. We used nine kinds of cancer cell lines, such as stomach cancer cells (Kato), lung cancer cells (Calu-1, NCI-H 1395), urinary bladder cancer cells (HS789T), bone cancer cells (Saos-2), brain cancer cells (SK-N-MC), liver cancer cells (Hep-G2), skin cancer cells (Mo-1) and prostate cancer cells (PC-3) with the water decoction of Mylabris phalerata. The histological changes of all cell lines in the media (RPMI-1640) containing the decoction of Mylabris phalerata were observed and we examined cell death assay by trypan blue exclusion testing was examined. Finally, the change of mitochondrial membrane potential was measurd and the inhibitory effect of Mylabris phalerata on cell increase was examined by analyzing the cell cycle. Results: In histologic change all cancer cell lines showed withdrawn and floating appearance that is typical in cellular impairment. Most of the cell lines showed over 50% death rate after 24 hours in trypan blue exclusion tests. Especially the stomach, urinary bladder. brain and liver cell lines showed over 30% death rate after 12 hours. All cell lines treated with Mylabris phalerata were less stained than the control group and the mitochondrial membrane potential in the Mylabris phalerata treated cell lines was markedly lower than that in the control group. The measurement of DNA quantity in all cell lines showed the disappearance of the peak and the thickened left axis, which suggests that all cellular DNA degraded. Conclusion: Mylabris phalerata had cytotoxicity on various kinds of cancer cell lines and the mechanism of that was the impairment of mitochondria by the breakdown of the mitochondrial cell membrane. We propose that this is in part attributable to the destruction of DNA in cancer cells.

신소재로 각광 받고 있는 chitosan의 낮은 수용성을 극복하기 위하여 chitosan 유도체인 safrolechitosan(SaCs) 및 eugenolchitosan(EuCs)을 제조하고, Ubbelohde 점도계를 사용하여 이들의 점도평균분자량을 측정한 결과, chitosan 및 chitosan유도체인 EuCs와 SaCs의 경우 각각 $1.2{\times}10^{5}\;Da,\;7.8{\times}10^{5}\;Da$ 및 $7.5{\times}10^{5}\;Da$인 것으로 확인되었다. Chitosan과 chitosan유도체의 구조분석을 위한 IR spectrum에서 SaCs의 경우, safrole의 공유결합에 의한 chitosan내 amine기와의 반응으로 인하여 순수 chitosau보다 amide II 흡수띠가 $1,553cm^{-1}$으로 이동함을 알 수 있었는데, 이것은 chitosan내의 1차 amine기와 safrole의 이중결합이 반응하여 공유결합을 형성함으로써 흡수띠의 이동현상이 나타난 결과이다. 또한, safrole이 반응하면서 safrole내의 vinyl기를 의미하는 특징적인 peak인 C=C 및 $H_{2}C=$의 $1,611cm^{-1}$와 $1,442cm^{-1}$에서의 흡수띠가 사라졌으며, EuCs의 경우에도 반응물질로 사용된 eugenol내의 vinyl기를 나타내는 $1,612cm^{-1}$ 및 $1,434cm^{-1}$에서의 흡수띠가 사라짐을 확인하였다. 또한 $^{1}H-NMR\;spectrum$을 확인한 결과, 합성유도체의 경우 safrole과 eugenol 간량체의 5.7-6.0ppm에서 나타난 이중결합($H_{2}C=CH-$) peak가 사라지고, SaCs는 2.1-2.2ppm에서, 그리고 EuCs는 1.9와 2.2ppm에서 단일결합($-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-$)의 peak가 생성됨을 알 수 있었으며, safrole과 eugenol이 chitosan에 그라프트된 후 safrole과 eugenol의 영향으로 chitosan내의 $H_{3}-H_{6}$의 수소 숫자가 상대적으로 감소하여 3.1-3.9ppm에서 나타나는 peak의 크기가 작아짐도 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼때, SaCs 및 EuCs를 합성하기 위한 그라프트 반응이 정상적으로 일어났음을 알 수 있었다.

실제 대상으로부터 모사된 이미지에서 인간이 느끼는 환영의 존재에 대한 연구는 오랜 시간 동안 모사이론과 관습주의로 나뉘어 진행되어왔다. 플라톤(Plato) 이래로 오랫동안 재현(再現) 이론을 지배해온 전통적 모사 이론은 환영을 이미지와 재현 대상 간의 닮음 또는 유사성으로 설명해 왔다. 모사 이론에 따르면 이미지는 언어와 달리 대상과의 유사성에 의해 자연스럽게 인지되는 자연적 기호이다. 20세기 후반 들어 모사 이론을 비판하면서 등장한 굿먼(N. Goodman)으로 대표되는 관습주의는 이미지와 재현 대상 사이에는 어떠한 특별한 종류의 유사성도 없다고 주장한다. 그들은 회화적 기호의 관습적인 속성에 주목하면서 이미지가 언어와 마찬가지로 자의적인 코드의 중재를 통해 기능하는 관습적 기호라고 주장한다. 이러한 이론의 대립은 인지 과학의 등장과 함께 관습주의의 승리로 정리되었고, 모사이론은 원본과 복제물 간에 존재하는 '재현적 간극'의 문제에 명쾌하게 해답을 제시할 수 없었다. 그러나 사진 미디어를 시작으로 디지털 미디어가 등장하면서 '환영'에 대한 이론에 새로운 패러다임이 등장하게 되었다. 그 동안 문제가 되었던 '재현적 간극'이 디지털 미디어 기반의 CGI 이미지에서는 소멸되어버린 것이다. 현대를 살아가는 우리는 영화나 광고 혹은 인쇄매체를 통해 아주 쉽고 빈번하게 원본과 구분되지 않을 만큼 정교한 복제물에 노출되어있다. 때로는 원본보다 더욱 원본 같은 경우도 나타난다. 이러한 시대의 도래에는 대상의 모든 특성을 0과 1로 분절하여 '비물질화' 시키는 디지털이 자리 잡고 있다. 특히나 실제 빛의 기능과 메커니즘마저 완벽하게 Photon Mapping 이라는 기술로 매칭하여 모사함으로써 복제물은 더욱 원본처럼 생산되어지고 있다. 이렇게 원본과 복제본의 구분이 불가능해지면서 나타난 '재현적 간극'의 소멸은 디지털 미디어에 의해 투사되는 환영의 특성을 설명함에 있어 새로운 이론 모델의 필요성을 제시하게 되었고, 전통적 모사이론에 기반을 둔 새로운 해석이 그 답이 될 수 있음을 본 연구를 통해 가늠해보고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 열충격에 의한 세포내 단백질 변성을 정량하는 방법을 소개하고 있다. Thiol compound인 diamide [azodicarboxylic acid bis (dimethylamide)]는 단백질변성시 노출된 sulfyhydryl기를 cross-link 시킨다. 정상 상태에서는 노출되지 않는 sulfyhydryl group이 변성된 단백질에서는 노출되기 때문에 diamide에 의한 cross-linking이 선택적으로 일어날 것이다. 그러므로 diamide는 변성된 단백질을 "trap"하는 작용을 할 수 있다. 본 연구진은 세포내 열충격후 고분자 단백질 응집물 (high molecular weight protein aggregate, HAA)이 나타남을 비환원 (non reducing) SDS-PAGE에서 관찰하였고 이를 gas flow counter로 scanning하여 정량하였다. 실험 결과 세포에 열충격을 가한후 diamide를 처리하면 HMA가 열충격 용량의존적으로 증가함을 관찰하였다. 이는 HMA의 양을 측정함으로써 열충격에 의하여 변성된 단백질을 정량할 수 있음을 반증한다. 열내성이 유도된 세포와 그렇지 않은 세포를 비교하였을 때 열내성이 유도된 세포에서는 열충격에 의한 HMA의 형성이 억제됨을 관찰하였다. 열충격후 정상온도에서 회복기를 주면서 시간대별로 diamide를 첨가하고 이때 형성된 HMA양을 측정하여, 단백질 원형복구의 역동성을 실험하였다. 그 결과, HMA는 열내성의 유도 여부와 상관없이 빠르게 없어짐을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 열내성이 유도된 세포에서 HSP70 단항체를 electroporation에 의하여 투여하였을 때 HMA가 현저히 증가하였고, 이는 열내성이 유도된 세포에서는 HSP70의 증가에 의하여 HMA생성이 억제되었음을 나타낸다. HSP70 항체를 이용하여 면역침전을 시행한 결과 변성된 세포내 단백질이 HSP70과 같이 침전됨이 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 HSP70 단백질이 변성된 단백질과 일시적으로 결합하여 정상 상태로 돌아가거나 복구될 수 있도록 도와줄 수 있음을 시사한다.

There is increasing evidence that stromal reaction in cancer has an important diagnostic and prognostic significance. The aim of our study is to analyze the relation between the increase in mast cell number and the expression CD34 and alpha-smooth muscle actin (${\alpha}$-SMA) in the stroma of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We investigated a total of 29 CIN (1,2,3) and 21 SCC (microinvasive and invasive) specimens and compared the distribution of $CD34^+$ stromal cells, ${\alpha}-SMA^+$ cells, transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$ $(TGF-{\beta}1)^+$ cells, and the density of mast cells using immunohistochemistry with antibodies against CD34, ${\alpha}$-SMA, TGF-${\beta}1$, and c-Kit (CD117) respectively. Computerized image analysis was to evaluate the positive area (%) and density of the respective immunoreactive cells. In CIN $CD34^+$ cells were abundant in the stroma but no ${\alpha}-SMA^+$ cells were identified except the wall of blood vessels. $CD34^+$ cells were progressively decreased along the continuum from CIN 2 to microinvasive SCC and not observed in the stroma of invasive SCC. Whereas ${\alpha}-SMA^+$ cells were only observed in the stroma of microinvasive and invasive SCC. We found more intense TGF-${\beta}1$ expression in the increased mast cells in the stroma of invasive SCCs than that in the stroma of CIN. These results indicate that disappearance of $CD34^+$ stromal cells and appearance of ${\alpha}-SMA^+$ cells are associated with the stromal change of CIN to SCC and the transformation of $CD34^+$ stromal cells into ${\alpha}-SMA^+$ cells is mediated by TGF-${\beta}1$ secretions in the stromal mast cell of SCC.
