A biosensor for the measurement of malate has been constructed by the sodium-alginate immobilized bundle sheath cell tissue of corn leaf containing malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (EC 1. 1. 1. 40) on the CO2 gas-sensing electrode. The proposed tissue sensor had the linear in the range of malate concentration $5.5{\times}10^{-5}M∼2.5{\times}10^{-2}M$ with a slope of 53.5 mV/decade in 0.02M Tris-HCl buffer solution at optimum pH 8.0, and $25^{\circ}C$. A response time was 16∼18min. The present L-malate sensing tissue sensor is stable for more than one week. At pH 7.4, Km value was $0.6{\times}10^{-5}M$. The various kinds of salt did not effect the signal of malate tissue biosensor as the inhibitor. We can measure the malate by the CO2 electrode at the pH=8.0. Thus, the proposed tissue sensor will be useful for the measurement of malate.

The lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) inhibitors were isolated from the LDH-free crude mitochondrial fraction of skeletal muscle in Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) and Korean native cattle (Bos taurus coreanae). The LDH inhibitor in skeletal muscle of M. auratus was successfully isolated by the treatment with 175 mM NaCl and ultrasonic. The LDH inhibitor in skeletal muscle of B. taurus coreanae was highly stable to heat and LDH fu isozyme was largely inhibited by the LDH inhibitor. The molecular weight of inhibitor was 22 kDa. Inhibitor played an important role in the binding of LDH with the mitochondria in tissues of skeletal muscle, kidney and liver except heart.

The prior purpose of this study is to introduce a optical biopsy and evaluate whether the optical biopsy, real-time, non-invasive technique, is a reliable tool to assess response to radiotherapy Four healthy volunteers, and four patients with inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity participated on the study. was obtained from each person enrolled in the study. Using FastEEM(Ercited Emission Matrix) as a optical biopsy tool, normal and tumor spectra are taken from the normal and the tumor regions. And then second optical biopsy are taken from the tumor regions in 4 patients with time delay at 7days.. Using a diagnostic algorithm, made by Gillenwater based on spectra excited at 337nm The Optical Biopsy turned out to be more suited for tumor diagnostic resulting in significant difference fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence intensity of cancerous tissue showed a higher position. The second fluorescence intensity of optical biopsy of cancerous oral tissue has more smaller than the first result. I conclude that optical biopsy, which technique don't need to remove tissue sample from body, and is a real time , and non-invasive measurement is a reliable tool to access to radiotherapy because FastEEM can do measure the variation of the tissue composition chemical, biological, and morphological after radiotherapy. Based on the fluorescence spectrum are taken from the optical biopsy in normal and tumor spectra as well as tumor spectra after 7days.

선양낭암은 타액선종양중 비교적 드문 악성종양으로 병리조직학적 및 임상적으로 독특한 양상을 보인다. 병리조직학상 종양세포가 신경주변으로 침범하여 수술당시 적절한 수술연을 얻기 어렵고 이에 따른 국소재발이 거듭되고 임파선전이 및 예측치 않는 원격전이가 생기기도 한다. 지금까지 선양낭암환자의 예후에 영향을 미치는 여러 요인들에 대한 연구들이 이루워지고 있는데 그중 조직학적 분화도, 원발부위, 종양의 크기, 수술연의 상태와 임상적 병기들이 중요시되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 1960년부터 1980년 까지 텍사스대학 M.D. Anderson 암센터에서 치료받은 이하선 및 악하선 선양낭암 각각 13례와 26례를 대상으로 원발부위가 환자의 생존 및 치료에 미치는 영향을 알고자 다른 예후인자로 알려진 조직병리학적 소견들과 함께 통계학적 분석을 실시하였다. 이하선과 악하선에 생긴 선양낭암을 비교한 결과 이하선에 생긴 경우 조직학적 분화도가 더 낮았고 악하선 종양에서 수술연에 종양침범율이 더 적었다. 경부 임파절 전이는 악하선 종양에서 많았으나 반면 원격전이는 이하선 종양에서 더 많이 발생하였다. 그러나 종양의 크기, 선경주위침범 유무, 국소재발과 환자의 생존율사이에는 의의있는 상관 관계는 없었다. 이하선과 악하선에 생긴 선양낭암의 여러 특성들과 생존률간의 univariate 분석결과 악하선에 생긴 선양낭암 환자에서 종양이 크거나 조직학상 분화가 나쁘거나(solid pattern), 경부임파절 전이와 원격전이가 생기면 예후에 나쁜 영향을 끼침이 밝혀졌다. 그러나 이하선에 생긴 경우 분석례가 너무 적어 결론을 내리기에 불충분하였다. 원발부위에 따른 선양낭암 환자들의 특성을 chi-square 검정법을 이용하여 통계학적으로 분석한 결과 이 두군간에는 의의있는 통계학적 차이는 발견할 수 없었다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 관료제 조직과 다른 동적조직의 특성을 살펴보고 이러한 특성으로 인해 기존의 접근제어 모델들을 동적조직의 접근제어 모델로 사용할 때 문제가 되는 점들을 살펴본다. 이를 바탕으로 동적조직을 위한 개선된 역할기반 접근제어 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 기존 접근제어 모델들의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법들을 제시한다.

This paper reports that the ultrastructural nature of the interface process between the implants and surrounding bone has been studied after in vivo 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks of implantation of smooth machined implants into rabbit tibias. There was no indication of the fibrous connective tissue formation around the implant that imply intolerance of the bone tissue towards the implant after 1 week of implantation. The regions showing direct bone tissue bonding to the smooth machined implant contained osteoblast activating across the interface in the direction after 4 weeks of implantation. The reaction of a smooth machined implant caused in the first instance formation of an amorphous woven bone, which transformed into a mineralized bone containing collagen fibers. After 8 weeks of implantation, the activities of osteoblast initiated osseointegration forming bone matrix at the interface. During this period, the osteoblast surrounded with a matrix consisting of collagen bundles running in various directions. In the interface area between newly formed bone tissue and implants which has been inserted in rabbit tibias for 12 weeks, the implant and mineralized bone was separated by an amorphous electron dense material layer about $1{\sim}1.5{\mu}m$ in thickness.

mi transcription factor (MITF) is important in regulating the differentiation of mast cells. In particular, MITF regulates the transcription of the mouse mast cell-specific serine protease (mMCP)-6 gene, which is generally expressed by the connective tissue-type of mast cells. In this study, we investigated alternative isoforms of MITF that regulate transcription of the mMCP-6 gene in bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells in mice. The expression of MITF isoforms was examined by RT-PCR. We observed that MITF-A, -E, -H and -Mc were expressed by mucosal-type mast cells cultured in the presence of IL-3, whereas the connective tissue-type mast cells cultured in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) expressed MITF-A. Overexpression of MITF isoforms increased luciferase activity through the mMCP-6 promoter in NIH-3T3 cells and elevated the level of mMCP-6 expression in the MC/9 mast cell line. Moreover, mMCP-6 expression in mast cells was significantly inhibited by the depletion of MITF. The transcriptional activity and DNA binding of MITF-A was comparable to that of MITF isoforms, including MITF-E, -H, and -Mc. Our results therefore suggest that MITF-A may be an important isoform of MITF in regulating the transcription of mMCP-6 in mouse connective tissue mast cells.

This study investigated whether swimming exercise suppresses(: inhibites) the inflammatory response in adipose tissue in obese mice induced by a high fat diet after ovariectomy in female mice. Experimental group and control group were divided into sham-opereated group (Sham), ovariectomized group (OVX), and ovariectomized group with swimming exercise (OVX/Ex). All female mice fed high fat diet (45% fat) for 8 weeks. Compared with the Sham, the OVX increased the weight of visceral adipose tissue including parametrial, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric adipose tissue. Compared to the OVX, the OVX/Ex demonstrated reductions the weight of visceral adipose tissue. Compared to the Sham, the OVX decreased the mRNA expression of IκBα and increased the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (L-6, MCP-1, TNF-α and leptin) in adipose tissue. But the OVX/Ex appeared to increase the mRNA expression of IκBα and decrease the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue, compared with the OVX. This findings suggested that swimming exercise is useful for preventing adipose tissue inflammation, which will be effective in the prevention and treatment of obesity in obese mice induced obesity by a high fat diet after ovariectomy.
