Amount of spatter, welding conditions and welding costs were investigated for MAG welding. $CO_2$, Ar+18%;$CO_2$ and Ar+8%$O_2$ were used for shielding gases. As results, arc characteristics and appropriate range for welding were obtained. Amount of spatter in Ar+18%$CO_2$ gas welding was 20% of that of $CO_2$ welding, and Ar+8%$O_2$ was 10% of that of $CO_2$ welding. Therefore by using Ar+18%$CO_2$and Ar+8%$O_2$ gases, welding costs could be reduced compared with $CO_2$ welding due to avoiding spatter.

최근 국내의 흑염소 사육량과 소비량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 흑염소 사육방식 또한 대량화, 밀집화 형태로 변화하는 추세이며, 이에 따라 다양한 전염성 질병이 흑염소 농장에 발생하고 있다. 그중 소형 반추류에 발생하는 건락성 림프절염은 국내 흑염소 농장에서 유병률이 50% 이상에 이를 정도로 빈발하고 있으나 현재 마땅한 제어 방법이 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 흑염소의 대표적인 세균성 질병인 건락성 림프절염의 제어를 위한 노력의 일환으로 원인균인 Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis(C. pseudotuberculosis)에 효과적인 소독제를 확인하고자 하였다. 국내 시판되고 있는 축산용 소독제를 유효성분으로 구분하여 6종의 소독제에 대하여 소독제 효력시험을 수행하였다. 실험 대상으로 선정된 6종의 소독제는 산성제(구연산, Citric acid), 할로겐계(이염화이소시아눌산나트륨, Sodium dichloroisocyanurate), 산소계(모노과황산칼륨화합물, Potassium monopersulfate triple salt), 염기제(황산구리수화물, Copper sulfate pentahydrate), 양이온성 세정제(4급 암모늄, Dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride), 염소계(차아염소산나트륨, Sodium hypochlorite)이다. 농림축산검역본부 소독제 효력시험지침에 준하여 실험한 결과, 경수 조건에서는 황산구리수화물을 제외한 모든 소독제가 소독제 효력시험지침에서 제시하는 기준인 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였으며, 유기물 조건에서 구연산, 모노과황산칼륨 화합물 및 4급 암모늄 제재의 3종만이 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였다. 표준 효력시험지침(30분)보다 짧은 시간(1분, 5분, 15분) 동안 처리 후 살균력을 확인하였을 때, 경수 조건에서는 이염화이소시아눌산나트륨, 모노과황산칼륨 화합물, 차아염소산나트륨 제재가 가장 효과가 좋았으며 1분간 처리 시에도 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였다. 유기물 조건의 경우에는 구연산과 4급 암모늄 제재가 가장 효과가 높았으며 5분간 처리 시에도 99.99% 이상 또는 근접하는 살균력을 유지하였다. 본 실험 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 축산용 소독제의 유효성분에 따라 C. pseudotuberculosis에 대한 살균력에 차이가 있으며 경수 및 유기물 조건에 따른 차이도 확인된다. 따라서 C. pseudotuberculosis에 효과적인 소독제 선정 및 활용을 통하여 흑염소 농장 내 환경 오염을 방지한다면 건락성 림프절염 저감화에 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The insecticidal protein gene in the pKL-20-1 clone derived from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar. kurstaki plasmid was subcloned in the plant shuttle vector, pGA643. The 7.3 kb fragment was cloned in the BglII and Hpal sites of pGA643 vector and expressed in E. coli S17-1, which produced insecticidal proteins killing Bombyx mori larvae. The clone was named pHL-20. The protoplast formation, calli induction and plantlet regeneration of Nicotiana tabacum was carried out. A tremendous number of mesophyll protoplasts of N. tabacum were formed, up to 7$\times$105 protoplast per ml, for 20 hours in darkness in the enzyme solution of 0.5% cellulase and 0.1% macerosin, pH 5.8. The viabilities of the protoplasts were maintained above 80% for 6 days in the media containing 2mg/1 of NAA and 1mg/1 of kinetin. Calli were induced from the protoplasts and leaves of the N. tabacum on MS medium containing 0.5mg/1 BAP. Under the culture conditions the protoplasts underwent repeated cell division into calli. Plantlets were regenerated from callus cultures derived from protoplast and leaves. Shoots were induced in a medium containing 1mg/1 of BAP.

A bacterial strain SY-97 that showed algicidal activity against Cochlodinium polykrikoides was isolated from coastal water of Uljin (eastern coast of Korea) in August, 2005. The isolated strain was identified as Brachybacterium sp. by morphological and biological tests, and analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. The optimal culture conditions for the growth of strain SY-97 were $30^{\circ}C$, initial pH 7.0, and salinity 2.0%. From the result of cell culture insert experiment, Brachybacterium sp. SY-97 is assumed to produce secondary metabolites which have algicidal activity. When 10% culture filtrate of this strain was applied to C. polykrikoides ($1.2{\times}10^4\;cells/m{\ell}$) cultures, 100% of C. polykrikoides cells was destroyed within 15 hours. The released algicides were heat-tolerant to $100^{\circ}C$ and stable in pH $6.0{\sim}10.0$. These results suggest that Brachybacterium sp. SY-97 is potentially useful for controlling outbreaks of C. polykrikoides.

Toxic waste disposal: Many people think that when toxic waste is dumped into the ocean or into the air, it disappears. This belief is incorrect. Rather than disappearing, it accumulates over time and slowly destroys the environment. Ultimately, it leads to the destruction of human race. Plasma is environmentally friendly: Plasma is environmentally friendly because it is created and disappears. When plasma is formed on the earth, you need certain conditions such as accelerating electrons by an electrical discharge or a particle accelerator. When this is gone, plasma completely disappears, leaving no impact on the environment. Plasmas produce radicals: Even if plasma density is low at atmospheric pressure, many radicals (excited states of molecules) are created. These radicals are chemically very aggressive. So instead of using harmful chemicals, plasma can be utilized for less of an impact on the environment. Plasma can reach very high temperatures: Plasma is also useful because when you control the density, you can easily reach high temperatures up to $5000{\sim}6000^{\circ}C$ at atmosphere pressure. Because of this heat and the chemical aggressiveness of the plasma, there are many green applications for plasma technology. Pulsed power technology: Pulsed electric field for extraction, drying and killing bacteria. Treatment of biological tissue by pulsed electric fields: Extraction of substances from cells: Sterilisation, Medical applications, Growth stimulation, Food preparation. Each application has its specialities, especially with respect to pulse shape and electric field strength.

In the previous report it was demonstrated that aqueous extracts of two Korean indigenous crude drugs, Radix Jingyu and Fructus ponciri, have an excellent tick repellent effect, and also the need for further analytical study of these crude drugs was suggested. In the experiments to be reported herein, attempts were made to find out the active ingredients from Radix Jingyu, since the aqueons extract of Radix Jingyu proved to be mone effective than that of Fructus ponciri. It will be shown that the active ingredient is indicative of Lycaconitine, a known alkaloid. An aqueons solution containing 1.5 Gms of Lycaconitine in tartrate when sprayed on a cow exerted tick repellent effect against Boophilus microplus which lasted approximately 25 days without any harmful influences on cattle. It will also be shown that the oil-fat components of Radix Jingyu act synergistically with Lycaconitine in accelerating and lengthening the effect, although the components alone have no effect under the conditions tested. It was of interest to note that the oil-fat components of Radix Jingyu showed definite repellent effect against the larvae of Boophilus microplus in laboratory experiments by the method newly devised. On the basis of these observations, it was concluded that Lycaconitine can be used as cattle tick repellent, and the evidence seems to warrant a large scale production of Lycaconitine for its widespread use. Further studies on the possible effect of the alkaloid on other genera or species of ticks and related vermins were also indicated.

Cannibalism plays important roles at the levels of both individual and population. To enhance overall rate of successful survival and reproduction, salamander larvae may have evolved to consume both conspecifics and heterospecifics. Consuming conspecifics could result in decreased inclusive fitness possibly by killing relatives. In several salamander species, discrimination of salamander larval siblings from non-siblings and heterospecifics to avoid such a risk has been reported. To determine whether the Korean salamander larvae consume non-siblings more often than siblings and to analyze prey preferences of the salamander larvae in several different experimental conditions, a series of foraging experiments was conducted in the laboratory. We found that 1) large cannibal larvae preyed on small sibling more often than small non-sibling in a mixed group of sibling and non-sibling, 2) cannibal larvae prefered to consume live, weak, and small larvae to dead, healthy, and large larvae, and 3) cannibal larvae consumed heterospecific tadpoles more often than conspecific nonsibling larvae in a mixed group. In addition, the larval density was positively correlated with the occurrence of spacing behavior, one of the agonistic predator behaviors among salamander larvae.

Exosomes, which are well-known nanoscale extracellular vesicles, are multifunctional biomaterials derived from endosomes and perform various functions. The exosome is a critical material in cell-cell communication. In addition, it regulates the pathophysiological conditions of the tumor microenvironment in particular. In the tumor microenvironment, exosomes play a controversial role in supporting or killing cancer by conveying biomaterials derived from parent cells. Innate immunity is a crucial component of the host defense mechanism, as it prevents foreign substances, such as viruses and other microbes and tumorigenesis from invading the body. Early in the tumorigenesis process, the innate immunity explicitly recognizes the tumor via Ags and educates the adaptive immunity to eliminate it. Recent studies have revealed that exosomes regulate immunity in the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-derived exosomes regulate immunity against tumor progression and metastasis. Furthermore, tumor-derived exosomes regulate polarization, differentiation, proliferation, and activation of innate immune cells. Exosomes produced from innate immune cells can inhibit or support tumor progression and metastasis via immune cell activation and direct cancer inhibition. In this study, we investigated current knowledge regarding the communication between tumor-derived exosomes and innate immune cell-derived exosomes (from macrophages, dendritic cells, NK cells, and neutrophils) in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, we discussed the potential development of exosomal immunotherapy using native or engineered exosomes against cancer.

Previous studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress involving generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is responsible for the cytotoxic action of $TNF{\alpha}$. Protective effect of small heat shock proteins (small HSP) against diverse oxidative stress conditions has been suggeted. Although overexpression of small hsp was shown to provide an enhanced survival of $TNF{\alpha}$-sensitive cells when challenged with $TNF{\alpha}$, neither the nature of $TNF{\alpha}$-induced cytotoxicity nor the protective mechanism of small HSP has not been completely understood. In this study, we have attempted to determine whether $TNF{\alpha}$ induces oxidative DNA damage in $TNF{\alpha}$-sensitive L929 cells. We chose to measure the level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8 ohdG), which has been increasingly recognized as one of the most sensitive markers of oxidative DNA damage. Our results clearly demonstrated that the level of 8 ohdG increased in L929 cells in a $TNF{\alpha}$ dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, we asked whether small HSP has a protective effect on $TNF{\alpha}$-induced oxidative DNA damage. To accomplish this goal, we have stably transfected L929 cells with mouse small hsp cDNA (hsp25) since these cells are devoid of endogenous small hsps. We found that $TNF{\alpha}$-induced 8 ohdG was decreased in cells overexpressing exogenous small hsp. We also found that the cell killing activity of $TNF{\alpha}$ was decreased in these cells as measured by clonogenic survival. Taken together, results from the current study show that cytotoxic mechanism of $TNF{\alpha}$ involves oxidative damage of DNA and that overexpression of the small hsp reduces this oxidative damage. We suggest that the reduction of oxidative DNA damage is one of the most important protective mechanisms of small HSP against $TNF{\alpha}$.
