We examine the dependence of the morphology of spiral galaxies on the environment using the KIAS Value Added Galaxy Catalog (VAGC) which is derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. Our goal is to understand whether the local environment or global conditions dominate in determining the morphology of spiral galaxies. For the analysis, we conduct a morphological classification of galaxies in 20 X-ray selected Abell clusters up to z~0.06, using SDSS color images and the X-ray data from the Northern ROSAT All-Sky (NORAS) catalog. We analyze the distribution of arm classes along the clustercentric radius as well as that of Hubble types. To segregate the effect of local environment from the global environment, we compare the morphological distribution of galaxies in two X-lay luminosity groups, the low-$L_x$ clusters ($L_x$ < $0.15{\times}10^{44}$erg/s) and high-$L_x$ clusters ($L_x$ > $1.8{\times}10^{44}$erg/s). We find that the morphology-clustercentric relation prevails in the cluster environment although there is a brake near the cluster virial radius. The grand design arms comprise about 40% of the cluster spiral galaxies with a weak morphology-clustercentric radius relation for the arm classes, in the sense that flocculent galaxies tend to increase outward, regardless of the X-ray luminosity. From the cumulative radial distribution of cluster galaxies, we found that the low-$L_x$ clusters are fully virialized while the high-$L_x$ clusters are not.

채취된 초기 간극수를 오염물질로 치환시킨 점토시료를 대상으로 일축압축시험, 삼축압축시험, 압밀시험을 수행하여 오염물질 성상에 따른 오염점토의 역학적 특성변화를 분석하였으며, MT3D 해석모델을 이용하여 매립지 성토제방의 점토 차수층을 통한 오염물질의 거동 특성을 파악하였다. NaCl 수용액으로 치환된 시료의 경우, 농도가 증가할수록 강도, 압축성, 투수성이 증가되었다. 침출수로 포화시킨 시료의 경우, NaCl 수용액으로 포화시킨 시료에 비해 강도, 압축성의 증가현상이 크게 나타난 반면 면모화 정도가 큼에도 불구하고 투수계수는 오히려 작게 나타났다. 오염물질 이동 해석결과, 초기 염소이온 농도가 클수록 측정농도도 커지며, 시간경과에 따라 농도는 비선형적으로 증가되었다. 농도감쇄 관계식을 유도하여 이동거리를 예측한 결과, 초기 농도가 클수록 이동거리도 크게 나타났다.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and acounts for 6% to 15% of all cases of childhood cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma in seventh most common form of childhood neoplasms, following acute leukemia, tumors of the central nervous system, lymphoma neuroblastoma, Wilm`s tumor, bone tumor. Rhabdomyosarcoma can arise anywhere in the body, but primary site in the thorax is relatively rare. We experienced a case of aveolar rhabdomyosarcoma arising from intercostal muscle, A 12 year-old woman was suffered from the intermittent left chest pain radiating to the scapular area and dyspnea, On physical examination, pulmonary friction rub was heard on the left upper lobe area. Qn adimission, the chest simple radiography revealed a 7 x 6, 5cm sized radio-opaque mass with pleural effusion in the superior mediastinum and the CT showed a well difined radio-opaque mass including the destructed 2nd rib and pleural effusion. The percutaneous tra-nsthoracic needle aspiration biopsy was likely to show blastoma. After the chemotherapy[vincristine, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamde] was done to treat blastoma, the pleural effussion was subsided and the mass was slightly decreased by 4.5x 4. 5cm. For treatment and diagnosis, we performed en-bloc resection and the defected chest was reconstucted with Gortex patch. Grossly, the specimen was colored graysh-white and arised in between two ribs The microscopic findings showed that the tumor cells were small round with scant pinkish cytoplasm on the H-E stain and the tumor cell nests were grouped by reticulum fibers and showed alveolar pattern on the silver stain The electromicroscopic finding presented that the cytoplasm contained tangled fibrillar and flocculent materials. The histopathologic findings were compatable with laveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. She was discharged without any complication. After discharge, she has been treated with radiation theraphy and chemotheraphy, and not recurred untill last follow-up We report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma arising to intercostal muscle, developed in 12 year-old waman, with brief review of literatures.

Ultrastructure of mouse thymus was evaluated, following the administration of potassium dichromate and mercuric chloride, the heavy metals of evironmental pollutants. Potassium dichromate (20 mg/kg) or mercuric chloride solutions (10 mg/kg) were subcutanously injected to the mice. Six hours, three days and two weeks after the injections, animals were sacrificed. Thymic tissues were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde-1.5% paraformaldehyde solutions. The procedure was followed by the fixation in 1% osmium tetroxide solutions. Washed and dehydrated tissue-blocks were embedded in the araldite mixture. Ultra-thin sections were stained with uranyl acetate-lead citrate solutions. Results observed were as follows: 1. In electron microscopy, cortical population of thymocytes in the thymus of experimental groups were reduced. especially in the outer cortex. Subcapsular cortices of potassium dichromate treated mice were filled with many epithelial reticular cells, whereas the similar area of mercuric chloride-treated mice exhibited large intercellular spaces. 2. In the thymus of mercuric chloride treated group, large intercellular spaces were formed by shrinkage of epithelial reticular cells, and the space was invaded by numerous cytoplasmic projections of macrophages. Thymocytes nuded out from the shrunken cytoplasm of epithelial reticular cells, presented numerous microvilli. 3. In the thymus of potassium dicromate treated group, many activated macrophages and plasma cells migrated into thymic cortices. 4. In the perivascular spaces of thymic cortices of potassium dichromate- and mercuric chloride-treated mice, activated macrophages. plasma cells, collagen fibrils, and flocculent substance of exudated materials were exhibited. From the above findifgs, it was concluded that potassium dichromate or mercuric chloride could disturb the normal differentiation or 'education' of T cells in the thymic cortex. In turn, these heavy metals may hurt the immunological defense mechanism.

Korean traditional rice wines yakju and takju are generally brewed with nuruk as the source of the saccharogenic enzymes by natural fermentation. To improve the quality of Korean rice wine, the microorganisms in the nuruk need to be studied. The objective of this research was to improve the quality of Korean wine with the wild-type yeast strains isolated from the fermentation starter, nuruk. Only strain YA-6 showed high activity in 20% ethanol. Precipitation of Y89-5-3 was similar to that of very flocculent yeast (>80%) at 75.95%. Using 18S rRNA sequencing, all 10 strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Volatile compounds present in yakju were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. The principal component analysis (PCA) of the volatile compounds grouped long-chain esters on the right side of the first principal component, PC1; these compounds were found in yakju that was made with strains YA-6, Y89-5-3, Y89-5-2, Y90-9, and Y89-1-1. On the other side of PC1 were short-chain esters; these compounds were found in wines that were brewed with strains Y183-2, Y268-3, Y54-3, Y98-4, and Y88-4. Overall, the results indicated that using different wild-type yeast strains in the fermentation process significantly affects the chemical characteristics of the glutinous rice wine.

눈물샘은 주위환경으로부터 눈의 표면을 보호해주는 눈물막(tear film)을 구성하는 데 중요한 작용을 한다. 포유동물의 종에 따라 눈물샘의 구조와 구성요소는 차이가 있다. 포유류의 눈물샘에는 크게 두 가지 종류 즉, 위눈물샘 (superior lacrimal gland)과 아래눈물샘 (inferior lacrimal gland)으로 나눌 수 있다. 위눈물샘은 사람, 토끼, 개, 말, 낙타, 소등에 있는데, 안구의 위쪽에 위치하며, 아래눈물샘은 설치류, 토끼, 식충류 등에 존재하며, 안구의 아래쪽에 위치하고 있다. 토끼는 두 종류의 눈물샘 즉, 위눈물샘과 아래눈물샘을 모두 갖고 있는 데, 본 실험에서는 아래 눈물샘의 전자현미경적 구조를 관찰하였다. 토끼의 아래 눈물샘을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 일반구조는, 눈물샘은 전체적으로 피막에 싸여있었고, 샘실질은 결합조직에 의해 소엽으로 나뉘어지고, 소엽에는 분비부, 소엽속관 및 소엽사이관이 있다. 샘포세포는 아주 좁은 속공간을 가지고 있으며, 사이관(intercalated duct)은 샘포와 소엽속관을 연결한다. 소엽속관은 단층의 입방상피로 구성되어 있으며, 배출관인 소엽사이관이 결합조직 안에 잘 발달되어 있다. 눈물샘의 미세구조는 눈물샘 샘포세포는 피라밋형으로, 세포사이는 잘 발달된 연접복합체로 연접하였으며, 좁은 꼭대기 부분은 약간의 미세융모들이 샘의 내강쪽으로 향해 있다. 세포들의 가쪽면 사이에는 세포사이세관이 형성되었고, 그 속에도 상당수의 미세융모들이 관찰된다. 눈물샘분비세포는 세 종류로서 장액세포(serous cell), 장점액세포(seromucous cell)와 점액세포(mucous cell)로 이루어졌다. 장액세포는 샘포의 바닥 쪽에 많고, 세포질에는 전형적인 골지복합체와 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 있으며, 둥글둥글한 소포상의 과립형질내세망이 특징적인 구조이다. 한편 장점액세포는 전형적인 납작한 과립형질내세망이 조밀하고, 리보소체도 많아서 매우 어둡게 보이며, 분비과립에는 전자밀도가 높은 장액분비과립, 미세먼지같은 중등도의 전자밀도를 지닌 과립, 전자밀도가 낮으며 가끔은 융합되는 점액 분비과립을 갖고 있다. 점액세포의 과립세포질세망은 세포질전체에 퍼져 있으며, 관모양의 사립체들이 드물게 관찰된다. 점액세포에서는 세 가지 종류의 분비과립 즉, 전자밀도가 낮은 분비과립, 전자밀도가 비교적 높으며 빈도가 낮은 과립과 중간정도의 전자밀도를 가진 과립이 있으며, 전자밀도가 낮은 과립은 서로 융합된 모습을 보이기도 한다. 과립세포질세망은 주로 세포의 바닥부분에 위치하며, 골지복합체는 세포의 중간부분인 핵상부에 주로 위치한다. 점액세포의 가쪽벽에는 세포사이공간이 있어 가쪽주름(lateral fold)과 내강에 미세융모를 지닌 세포사이세관(intercellular canaliculi)이 관찰된다. 분비관을 구성하고 있는 세포들에는 세포질이 어두운 세포와 밝은 세포가 있었으며, 세포질내에는 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 관찰되었다. 전체적인 특징은 눈물샘분비세포 중 장액세포의 것과 비슷하였으나, 과립의 크기는 작았다. 분비관을 구성하는 세포들 사이에도 연접복합체가 매우 잘 발달되어 있었다. 샘포에서 사이관으로 이행되는 곳에서도 샘포세포와 사이관세포 사이에서도 연접복합체가 관찰되었다. 분비관세포의 분비과립 가운데는 중심부분에 전자밀도가 더 높은 중심을 가진 다른 모양의 과립이 관찰되기도 하였다.
