배경: Cisplain과 같은 세포돗성 약제에 대한 내성은 폐암 치료 실패의 중요한 원인이다. 이러한 항암제에 대한 내성의 발생기전은 복잡하고 아직 완전히 알려져 있지 않지만 불량한 예후의 원인으로 생각된다. 특히 약제 내성이 발생한 환자의 경우 기존의 종양의 급속한 성장뿐 아니라 새로운 전이 병소가 급속히 발생 및 진단됨은 약제 내성을 가진 종양이 전이에의 용이성을 획득하는게 아닌가 의심케한다. 이를 규명하기 위해 Cisplatin에 내성을 지닌 비소세포폐암 세포주 H460/CISm이 전이 능력을 Cisplatin에 민감한 비소세포폐암 세로주 H460과 비교하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 약제 내성 세포주를 확보하기 위하여 H460세포에 cisplatin을 점차적으로 증가시켜 처리한 후 배양하였다. H460 세포와 H460/CIS 세로에서의 혈관신생인자와 성장관련인 자의 발현양상, gelatin zymography 분석 그리고 in vivo 실험으로 nude 마우스에서의 자발적 전이 능력의 차이를 비교하였다. 결과: H460 세포를 이식한 마우스에 폐에서는 종양이 형성되지 않았으나 H460/CIS세포를 이식한 마우스 10마리중 8마리에서 종양이 형성되었다. 또한 H460/CIS 세포주에서 전이 관련 유전자로 알려진 angiopoietin-1, vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase 2 등이 더 발현되었고, 전이의 침습성을 유발하는 gelatinase의 활성이 증가된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 본 여구 결과를 통해 cisplatin에 내성을 가진 비소세포폐암세포에서 전이 능력이 증가될 수 있다고 여겨지며 이러한 사실을 토대로 초기 비소세포폐암 환자의 수술 전 항암약물요법의 타당성에 대해서 이야기 하기 위해서는 많은 임상적 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.

The magnetoelectric (ME) characteristics for Terfenol-D/PZT laminate composite dependence on bias magnetic field is investigated. At low frequency, ME response is determined by the piezomagnetic coefficient $d_{33,m}$ and the elastic compliance $s_{33}^H$ of magnetostrictive material, $d_{33,m}$ and $s_{33}^H$ for Terfenol-D are inherently nonlinear and dependent on $H_{dc}$, leading to the influence of $H_{dc}$ on low-frequency ME voltage coefficient. At resonance, the mechanical quality factor $Q_m$ dependences on $H_{dc}$ results in the differences between the low-frequency and resonant ME voltage coefficient with $H_{dc}$. In terms of ${\Delta}E$ effect, the resonant frequency shift is derived with respect to the bias magnetic field. Considering the nonlinear effect of magnetostrictive material and $Q_m$ dependence on $H_{dc}$c, it predicts the low-frequency and resonant ME voltage coefficients as a function of the dc bias magnetic field. A good agreement between the theoretical results and experimental data is obtained and it is found that ME characteristics dependence on $H_{dc}$ are mainly influenced by the nonlinear effect of magnetostrictive material.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is known to have an inhibitory activity on growth of Helicobacter pylori and this activity has been attributed to lactic acid and antibacterial agents produced by Lactobacillus. Since every Lactobacilli produces lactic acid, an another factor must exist for L. acidophilus to inhibit H. pylori growth. In this work, the inhibitory activity of L. acidophilus on H. pylori adherence was studied. An immunoabsorbent assay using TLC plate was developed and used for screening the inhibitory activity of various Lactobacilli on H. pylori adherence. Glycolipid, the attachment site for H. pylori, was isolated from blood type O red blood cells and spotted on a TLC plate. The H. pylori adherence increased linearly with increasing amounts of glycolipid spotted on the TLC plate. Various L. acidophilus strains, but not L. casei, appeared to inhibit H. pylori adherence to glycolipid, and the adherence decreased linearly as the concentration of the Lactobacillus increased. The results show that the inhibitory activity of L. acidophilus on H. pylori adherence is an another factor for L. acidophilus to inhibit H. pylori growth.

We considered the tunneling effect on the rate constants calculated from transition-state theory for the H + $D_2$ and D + $H_2$ reactions. A method for evaluating the important parameter Ec (potential barrier height) was proposed. A tunnel-effect correlation factor (TECF) ${\Gamma}_{t}exp{\theta}_t$ was estimated from experimental data, and compared with the corresponding values obtained from many theoretical methods. According to our results, the tunneling effect cannot be negligible around $800^{\circ}$K where the TECF value is ca. 0.8 whereas the factor approaches to unity at T > $2400^{\circ}$K where the tunneling completely disappears. In addition to the above fact, we also found that the TECF for the D + $H_2$ reaction is greater than that of the H + $D_2$ reaction in agreement with Garrett and Truhlar's result. In contrast to our result, however, Shavitt found that the order is reversed, i.e., TECF for (D + $H_2$) is greater than that for (H + $D_2$). We discussed about the Shavitt's result.

In this study the bonding quality evaluation of FRP honeycomb structure was performed by the ultrasonic C-Scan method and stress wave factor measurements. These NDT techniques could be well applied to the disbonding detection of FRP honeycomb structures. Especially, stress wave factor (SWF) measurement is expected to be a useful technique in field applications.

Transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ (TGF-${\beta}$), a hormonally active polypeptide found in normal and transformed tissues. regulates cellular growth and phenotyphic plasticity. We have previously shown that H-ras. but not N-ras. induces invasive phenotype in MCF10A human breast epithelial cells. In this study. we wished to examine the effect of TGF-${\beta}$ on H-ras-induced invasion and motility in MCFI 10A cells by performing in vitro invasion assay and wound migration assay. (omitted)

In this paper, we develop the Bayesian test procedure for the intraclass correlation coefficient in the unbalanced one-way random effect model based on the reference priors. That is, the objective is to compare two nested model such as the independent and intraclass models using the factional Bayes factor. Thus the model comparison problem in this case amounts to testing the hypotheses $H_1:\rho=0$ versus $H_2:{\rho}{\neq}0$. Some real data examples are provided.

Centrifugation is a method to create functionally graded materials (FGM) with a thermosetting matrix. In this study the movement of short carbon fibers in an epoxy resin during the centrifugation process was modeled to determine the fiber distribution in the final product. For this purpose a form factor K was introduced to modify a set of equations that was previously shown to be valid for the motion of spheres. It was shown that the results of the simulation were in good agreement with the experimental data, when an empirical K factor of four was chosen.
