Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of particle beam needs to be evaluated at particle beam therapy centers before the clinical application of the particle beam. However, since RBE analysis is implemented manually, it is useful to have a tool that can easily and effectively handle the data of experiments to generate cell survival curve and to analyze RBE simultaneously. In this work, the development of a program for RBE analysis of particle beam therapy was presented. This RBE analysis program was developed to include two parts; fitting the cell survival curves to linear-quadratic model and calculating the RBE values at a certain endpoint using fitting results. This program was also developed to simultaneously compare and analyze the template results that stored experiment data with photon and particle beam irradiations. The results of the cell survival curve obtained by each irradiation can be analyzed by the user on a desired data after reading the template stored in the easy-to-use excel file. The analysis results include the cell survival curves with error range, which are appeared in the screen and the ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ parameters of linear-quadratic model with 95% confidence intervals, RBE values, and $R^2$ values to evaluate goodness-of-fit of survival curves to model, which are stored in a text cvs file. This software can generate cell survival curve, fit to model, and calculate RBE all at once with raw experiment data, so it helps users to save time for data handling and to reduce the possibility of making error on analysis. As a coming plan, we will create a user-friendly graphical user interface to present the results more intuitively.

To investigate the potential application of the single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay to carp as an aquatic pollution monitoring technique, gill, liver, and blood cells were isolated from carp exposed to a direct-acting mutagen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), or indirect mutagen, $benzo[\alpha]pyrene$ $(B[\alpha]P)$, then the DNA strand breakage was analyzed using the assay. Based on testing 5 different cell isolation methods and 6 electrophoretic conditions, the optimized assay conditions were found to be cell isolation by filter pressing and electrophoresis at a lower voltage and longer running time (at 0.4 V/cm for 40 min). In preliminary experiments, gill and liver cells isolated from carp exposed to MNNG in vitro exhibited DNA damage signals even with 0.5 ppb exposure, which is a much higher dose than previously reported. In the gill cells isolated from carp exposed to 0.01-0.5 ppm MNNG in vivo, significant dose-and time-dependent increases were observed in the tail for 4 days. As such, the linear correlation between the relative damage index (RDI) values and time for each dose based on the initial 48-h exposure appeared to provide effective criteria for the genotoxicity monitoring of direct-acting mutagenic pollution. In contrast, the in vivo exposure of carp to 0.25-1.0 ppm of $B[\alpha]P$ for 7 days resulted in dose-and time-dependent responses in the liver cells, in which 24-h delayed responses for metabolizing activation and gradual repair after 48 h were also observed. Thus, the negative-sloped linear correlation between the RDI and time at each dose based on the initial 48 h appeared to provide more effective criteria for the genotoxicity monitoring of indirect mutagenic pollution.

Branched and linear polyethylenimines (PEIs) have been studied as efficient and versatile agents for gene delivery in vitro and in vivo. PEIs exist in a linear or branched topology and are available in a wide range of molecular weight (Mw). Most studies have been done using PEIs with Mw higher than 10Kd. This study was aimed to test the transfection efficiency and the cell viability following gene delivery using PEI of Mw 2Kd, a relatively lower Mw cationic polymer. We used murine interleukin-2(mIL-2) plasmid DNA complexed with branched PEI 2Kd or 25Kd, and transfected them into a myoblast muscle cell line, C2C12. The cellular uptake of mIL-2 plasmid DNA was determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RNA transcript levels were studied in the myoblast cells. Our results show that PEI 2Kd was as effective as PEI 25Kd in celluar gene delivery and transfection efficiency in C2C12 cells. Moreover, MTT assay indicated that PEI 2Kd/DNA complexes did not significantly reduce the cell viability regardless of N/P ratios. These results suggest that PEI of Mw 2Kd might play a role as effective and low toxic nonviral vector systems for muscular cell lines.

Controlling the light energy and major nutrients is important for high cell density culture of cyanobacterial cells. The growth phase of Anabaena variabilis can be divided into an exponential growth phase and a deceleration phase. In this study, the cell growth in the deceleration phase showed a linear growth pattern. Both the period of the exponential growth phase and the average cell growth rate in the deceleration phase increased by controlling the light intensity. To control the light intensity, the specific irradiation rate was maintained above $10\;{\mu}mol/s/g$ dry cell by increasing the incident light intensity stepwise. The final cell density increased by controlling the nutrient supply. For the control of the nutrient supply, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate were intermittently added based on the growth yield, along with the combined control of light intensity and nutrient concentration. Under these control conditions, both final cell concentration and cell productivity increased, to 8.2 g/l and 1.9 g/l/day, respectively.

팔라듐을 연료극 촉매로 이용한 개미산 연료전지에서의 성능과 팔라듐 촉매의 전기화학적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 연구를 위해 사용된 팔라듐 촉매는 직접페인트법에 의해 제조되어 전해질 위에 코팅되었다. 개미산 연료전지를 연속적으로 반복 운행 했을 때, 팔라듐 촉매의 활성 및 개미산 연료전지의 분극 곡선 성능이 지속적으로 감소하였다. 이러한 거동은, 연료전지의 운행동안 팔라듐 촉매와 포매이트 및 수산화 이온간 전기화학적 반응에 의한 결합에 따른 팔라듐 촉매의 활성 저하 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 팔라듐 촉매의 활성 저하를 설명하고, 팔라듐 촉매와 개미산 연료전지의 활성을 되살리려는 실험이 선형 전압 인가법에 의해 수행되었다. 1.0볼트의 최대 전압을 가진 역방향 선형전압 인가 실험 후에 팔라듐 촉매의 활성 및 개미산 연료전지의 분극 곡선 성능이 되살아났다. 이는 역방향 선형 전압 인가법에 의해, 포매이트 및 수산화 이온들과의 결합되어 있던 팔라듐 촉매의 결합이 끊어지면서 팔라듐 촉매의 활성이 되살아났기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다.

Ultra precision positioning mechanism has widely been used on semiconductor manufacturing equipments, optical spectrum analyzer and cell manipulations. Ultra precision positioning mechanism is consisted of several actuators, sensors, guides and control systems. Its efficiency depends on each performance of components. The object of this study is to design, analysis and manufacture all of the inchworm linear motor system, which is one of the equipments embodied in ultra precision positioning mechanism. Inchworm linear motor system is consisted of a controller system and an inchworm linear motor, and its driving form is similar to a motion of spanworm. A design and manufacture of inchworm linear motor, which is consisted of three PZT actuators, a rod, two columns and a guide plate, are performed. Minimizing the von-Mises stress of the hinge using Taguchi method and simulation by FEM software optimizes the structural design in a column of flexure hinge. The designed columns and guide plates are manufactured by a W-EDM and NC-milling. A controller system, which is an apparatus to drive inchworm linear motor, can easily adjust driving conditions by varying resonance frequency and input-output voltage of actuators and amplifiers. The performance of manufactured inchworm linear motor system is verified and valuated. In the future, inchworm linear motor system will be used to make a more precision positioning by reinforcing a sensor and feedback system.

고농도 유전자 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 pyruvate dehy-drogenase complex-E2 특이성 인간 모노클론 항체의 Fab 부분을 효율적으로 생산하기 위해 회분식, 이단 연속식, 반 유 가식, two-stage cyclic fed-batch 동 여러 가지 배양 방법이 조사되었다. 먼저 플라스미드 안정성 문제를 극복하기 위해 growth stage와 production stage를 분리하는 two-phase 회분식 배양과 이단 연속식 시스템을 시도하였다 그 결과 two-phase 회분식 배양보다는 이단 연속식 배양에서의 세포농도와 항체 생산성이 우수하였다 또한 이단 연속식 배양에서의 세포 성 장과 항처l 생산성은 용존산소를 제어한 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 월등하게 높았다. 그리고 plasmid 안정성에 있어서 는 실험기간 내에 거의 100%를 유지하여 높은 안정도를 보 여주었다. 유가식 공정에 적합한 공급 배지로 변형된 M9 배 지가 최적배지로 선정되었고 이 배지 중 최적의 CjN 비율을 조사한 결파 2:3으로 결정되었다. 반 유가식 시스템에서 constant feeding 전략을 사용할 경우 최적 공급속도는 $0.6g/\ell/hr$이었다. 또한 pulse에 의해 공급배지를 공급할 경우에는 총 공급 량이 같을 경우 소량으로 자주 공급해 주는 것이 공급배지를 한꺼번에 많은 양을 공급해주는 것 보다 바람직하였다. 여러 가지 feeding 전략을 조사해 본 결과 linear feeding 방법이 가장 효과적이었다. 하지만 linear feeding 방법마저도 고농도 세포배양에 한계가 있었기 때문에 pH-stat 방법을 이용한 two-stage cyclic fed-batch 시스템을 시도하여 $54 g/\ell$의 세포 를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 이 방법이 일단 생산성 향상을 위한 세포의 고농도 배양에는 조사한 여러 배양 시스템 중에 가장 효율적인 시스템임올 알 수 있었다 하지만 이 시스템 에서 포도당을 낮은 level로 유지할 수 있었으나, 초산의 과도한 축적으로 항체 생산성의 향상은 예상에 비해 크지 않았다.

Culture conductivity and on-line NADH fluorescence were used to measure cellular growth in plant cell suspension cultures of Podophyllum hexandrum. An inverse correlation between dry cell weight and medium conductivity was observed during shake flask cultivation. A linear relationship between dry cell weight and culture NADH fluorescence was obtained during the exponential phase of batch cultivation In a bioreactor under the pH stat (pH 6) conditions. It was observed that conductivity measurement were suitable for biomass characterisation under highly dynamic uncontrolled shake flask cultivation conditions. However, if the acid/alkali feeding is done for pH control the conductivity measurement could not be applied. On the other hand the NADH fluorescence measurement allowed online-in situ biomass monitoring of rather heterogenous plant cell suspension cultures in bioreactor even under the most desirable pH stat conditions.

This paper is concerned with development of an efficient Ρ-median approach applicable to large cell formation(CF) problems. A two-phase methodology that seeks to minimize the number of exceptional elements is proposed. In phase I, two efficient Ρ-median formulations which contain fewer binary variables than existing Ρ-median formulations are constructed. These make it possible to implement large CF problem within reasonable computer runtime with commercially available linear integer programming codes. Given the initial cell configuration found with the new p-median formulations, in phase II bottleneck machines and parts are reassigned to reduce the number of exceptional elements. This procedure has the flexibility to provide the cell designer with alternative solutions. Test results on large CF problems show a substantial efficiency of the new Ρ-median formulations.
