The interaction of growth hormone with it's receptor results in dimerization of receptor, a feature known in action of certain cytokines. The interaction results in generation of number of signalling molecules. The involvement of Janus kinases, mitogen activated kinases, signal transduction and activator of transcription proteins, insulin like substrate, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase C, protein kinase C is almost established in growth hormone action. There are still many missing links in explaining diversified activities of growth hormone. Amino acid sequence data for growth hormones and growth hormone receptors from a number of species have proved useful in understanding species specific effects of growth hormone. Complete understanding of growth hormone action can have implications in designing drugs for obtaining desired effects of growth hormone.

SiO2(S)+C(s)-SiO(v)+CO(v) SiO(v)3CO(v)=SiC(s)whisker+2CO2(v) 2C(s)+2CO2(v)=4CO(v) 이때 전체 반응속도는 세번째 반응에 참여하는 탄소에 의해 지배되었다. 따라서 이 반응이 휘스커 합성의 율속반응으로 판단되었다. 한편 H2 분위기에서 탄화규소 휘스커는 다음과 같은 반응기구로 성장하였다.SiO2(s)+C(s)=SiO(v)+CO(v) 2C(s)+4H2(v)=2CH4(v) SiO(v)+2CH4(v)=SiC(s)whisker+CO(v)+4H2(v) 이때 전체 반응속도는 SiO(v) 기체의발생 속도에 의해 지배되었다. 따라서 첫번째 반응이 휘스커 합성의 율속 반응인 것으로 판단되었다.

Purpose: To determine the role of Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) in the regulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression in MG-63 cells and then to find the mechanism b which this regulation occurs. Materials and methods: MG-63 cells were grown to confluence in 60-mm dishes. To determine the effects of IGF-I on expression of VEGF mRNA according to time and concentration, the cells were treated with 10 nM IGF-I, following isolation of total RNA and Northern blot analysis after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours and after 2 hours of treatment with 0.5, 2, 10, 25, 50 nM IGF-I respectively, isolation of total RNA and Northern blot analysis were followed. To determine the mechanism of action of IGF-I, inhibitors such as hydroxyurea $(76.1\;{\mu}g/ml)$, actinomycin D $(2.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$, cycloheximide $(10\;{\mu}g/ml)$ were added 1 hour after treatment of 10 nM IGF-I. Results: 1. the expression of VEGF mRNA was increased with treatment of IGF-I. 2. The expression of VEGF mRNA was increased according to time-and concentration dependent manner of IGF-I. 3. The effect of IGF-I was decreased by hydroxyuera, actinomycin D, but not by cycloheximide. Conclusion: IGF-I regulate the expression of VEGF mRNA in the level of DNA synthesis and transcription. These results could suggest that IGF-I plays an important role in angiogenesis in the process of new bone formation and remodeling.

Growth yield of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans M6 was measured using different substrates. The cell yield of fermentative growth on pyruvate was 6.22 g cell $mol^{-l}$ pyruvate. Since 1 ATP is available from substrate-level phosphorylation from the oxidation of pyruvate to acetate, $Y_{ATP}$ of the bacterium should be the same as $Y_{pyruvate}$ (6.22 g cell $mol^{-l}$ ATP). The cell yields of the bacterium on different electron donors were measured with sulfate as the electron acceptor. Cell yields on lactate, pyruvate and $H_2$ were 9.39, 13.76 and 8.45 g cell $mol^{-l}$ substrate, respectively. From these figures ATP available from electron-transport phosphorylation (ETP) of the electron donors used was calculated. ATP produced by ETP of each electron donnor were 1.71 from pyruvate, 1.51 from lactate and 1.76 from $H_2$. These values show that electrons from the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate are consumed to reduce sulfate through a reverse electron transport mechanism requiring 0.2 ATP for each pair of electrons. Based on these results, discussions are made on the electron transport mechanism in the bacterium.

EBFZM( Electron Beam Floating Zone Melting ) 법을 이용하여 니오븀에서의 침입형불순물 정련기구, 단결정 성장기구 및 유동현상을 연구하였다. EBFZM 은 산소와 질소의 제거에 효과적이었고,탄소의 경우 유확산펌프에서의 Backstream으로 인하여 약간 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 원소재에 집합조직이 존재 하는 경우, EBFZM을 시행한 후의 결정성장 방위가 원소재의 집합조직과 일치하였으며,이로부터 2차 재결정에 의한 단결정 성장기구를 제안하였다. 또한,용 응대의 유동현상을 연구하여 낮은 Prandtl수인 니오븀에서도 Marangoni대류가 존재하여 결정내부의 striation을 유발시키고 산소와 질소에 대한 정련효과를 증대시킴을 밝혔다.

자연계에 널리 존재하는 저렴한 기질들은 대부분 여러 종류의 탄소원들을 함유한다. 이러한 혼합기질을 이용하는 효율적인 발효공정을 개발하기 위해서는 이들 기질들이 서로 어떻게 이용되는가를 알아야 하며, 사용되는 미생물의 생육과 생성물 생산을 잘 표현할 수 있는 동력학적 모델이 필요하다. P. stipitis에 의해 혼합기질에서 에탄오릉ㄹ 생산할 때 glucose는 xylose와 cellobiose 이용에 대해 ca-tabilite repression을 일으켰으며, 초기 glucose농도가 높을수록 xylose이용에서 균체의 생육속도는 감소하였으며 xylose이용시간도 길어졌다. 또한 glucose/xylose발효시 xylose이용에서 감소된 생육속도는 glucose가 xylose이용에 permenant repression을 야기시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Cyclic AMP가 중개하는 catabolite repression mechanism에 기초하여 혼합기질에서 생육하는 P. stipitis의 생육모델을 발전시켰다 이 보텔식들을 이용하여 컴퓨터 simulation한 결과는 혼합기질로부터 P. stipitis에 의한 생육 및 에탄올 생성 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

Al-Si alloy powder produced by the gas atomizer showed fine eutectic structure between ${\alpha}-dendrites$, that was grown by coupled growth, and there remained small amount of ${\alpha}$ in Al - 20 wt% Si alloy. The morphology of Si in the eutectic structure was largely influenced by the recalescence caused by solidification latent heat, and that was thought to be due to decrement of the surface energy of Si. In modified eutectic Si by rapid solidification, fine twin about $0.01\;{\mu}m$ was observed and growth direction of eutectic Si was <112>. This fact implied that the growth mechanism of eutectic Si in rapid solidification was related to TPRE mechanism. Due to rapid solidification Si was soluble in ${\alpha}-phase$ in Al - 12.6wt%Si alloy up to about 3.4wt%, and the solubility of Si in ${\alpha}-phase$ reaches the equilibrium solubility stare after 60min, holding when it was held isothermally at $253-296^{\circ}C$.

Recent studies of the structure of wall turbulence have lead to the development of a conceptual model that validates and integrates many elements of previous models into a relatively simple picture based on self-assembling packets of hairpin vortex eddies. By continual spawning new hairpins the packets grow longer in the streamwise direction, and by mutual induction between adjacent hairpins the hairpins are strained so that they grow taller and wider as they age. The result is a characteristic growth angle in the streamwise-wall normal plane. The spanwise growth of individual packets implies that packets must either merge or pass through each other when they come into contact. Direct numerical simulations of the growth and interaction of spanwise adjacent hairpins shows that they merge by the vortex connection mechanism originally proposed by Wark and Nagib (199). In this mechanism the quasi-streamwise legs of two hairpins annihilate each other, by virtue of having opposite vorticity, leaving a new hairpin of approximately double the width of the individuals. PIV measurements in planes parallel to the wall support this picture. DNS of multiple hairpins shows how the spanwise scale doubles when the hairpins form an array.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is associated with resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The EGFR modulates DNA repair after radiation-induced damage through an association with the catalytic subunit of DNA protein kinase. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most lethal type of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation, and non-homologous end joining is the predominant pathway for repair of radiation-induced DSBs. Some cell signaling pathways that respond to normal growth factors are abnormally activated in human cancer. These pathways also invoke the cell survival mechanisms that lead to resistance to radiation. The molecular connection between the EGFR and its control over DNA repair capacity appears to be mediated by one or more signaling pathways downstream of this receptor. The purpose of this mini-review was not only to highlight the relation of the EGFR signal as a regulatory mechanism to DNA repair and radiation resistance, but also to provide clues to improving existing radiation resistance through novel therapies based on the above-mentioned mechanism.
