The effect of the trehalose incorporation on the biological membranes was investigated with respect to the phase of the membranes using the fluorescence intensity change. Spherical phospholipid bilayers, vesicles, were prepared only with the variation in the phase of each layer via a double emulsion technique. In the aqueous inside of the vesicles, 8-Aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid disodium salt(ANTS) was encapsulated. As a quencher, p-Xylene-bis(N-pyridinium bromide)(DPX) was included in the buffer where the vesicles were dispersed. The fluorescence scale was calibrated with the fluorescence of ANTS vesicles in p-Xylene-bis(N-pyridinium bromide)(DPX)-included-buffer taken as 100% fluorescence and the mixture of ANTS and DPX in the buffer as 0% fluorescence. Trehalose injection into the vesicle solution led the distortion of the membrane. It was found that the distortion was related to the phase of each layer the vesicle up on the ratio of trehalose to lipid. In the identical measurements at glucose, the behavior of the distortion was completely different from that of trehalose. These results seem to depend on the stability of the vesicles, due to the osmotic and volumetric effects on the headgroup packing disruption.

순수한 PAN 섬유의 예비산화와 가수분해의 과정을 통하여 제조된 oxy-PAN은 염기와 산용액에 담그었을 때 신장과 수축 거동을 보임이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는, 염기 (NaOH) 용매에서 약 30%의 신장과 산 (HCl) 용매에서 30∼50%의 수축 거동을 관찰하였다. 기계적 특성에 대한 실험에서, oxy-PAN 섬유가 수축되었을 때 향상된 기계적 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 거동과 기계적 특성은 인체의 근육과 선형 구동체의 그것들과 유사하였다. NaOH와 HCl 용액에서 oxy-PAN 섬유의 길이가 변화하는 중요한 요인으로는 친수화 또는 소수화 구조의 전환에 의한 영향이다. 다른 요인으로는 oxy-PAN 섬유와 용액간의 이온과 물의 교환, 이온의 농도차에 의한 삼투압 등이 영향을 준다. Oxy-PAN 섬유의 신장 및 수축과 기계적 특성에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 요인들을 규명하기 위한 보다 많은 연구가 필요하지만, 본 연구실에서 제조된 oxy-PAN 섬유가 인공 근육 및 선형 구동체로 적용될 수 있는 충분한 가능성이 있음을 제시한다.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of sustained release recombinant bovine somatotropin(SR-rBST) with different dosage(0, 0.03mg/kg body weight/14 day, 0.06mg/kg body weight/14 day, 0.09mg/kg body weight/14 day) on the economical traits of the semen characteristics and sexual behaviors and blood chemical values with sixteen Holstein dairy young bulls in Dairy Cattle Improvement Center of National Livestock Co-operatives Federation. Sensual testings of collected semens of Holstein young bulls were not different among treatments (p>0.05). Ejaculated semen volumes of control, SR-rBST 0.03mg, 0.06mg and 0.09mg groups were 5.6ml, 5.6ml, 6.0ml and 6.7m, respectively, but the result of SR-rBST 0.09mg group significantly increased semen volume(P<0.05). In sperm concentration, SR-rBST 0.06mg and 0.09mg groups significantly increased the total number of sperms than the other groups(P<0.05). In otherwise, SR-rBST treatments did not affect on pH, osmotic pressure, anti forzen rate, abnormality and motility of collected semen during whole experimental period. Reaction time(RT), sexual aggressiveness(SA) and tactile stimulation(TS) were not different among treatments. The libido scores(LS) of control, 0.03mg, 0.06mg and 0.09mg groups were 68.0, 80.5, 73.9 and 80.8, respectively, and LS were significantly improved by SR-rBST administration(P<0.05). The effect of SR-rBST on scrotal circumference measurement that is important factor to determine the ability of semen production, was not different among treatments. These studies indicates that SR-rBST treatments favourably affect on semen quality and sexual libido in Holstein young bull.

A neoglycolipid, N-stearyl lactobionamide(N-SLBA) was synthesized and the incorporation of the neoglycolipid into liposomes was achieved in order to prepare neo-galactosylated liposome as potential drug carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue. N-SLBA was synthesized by the covalent linkage between carboxyl group of lactobionic acid and amino group of stearylamine(SA). The yield of N-SLBA was about 52.3%. It was identified with $1650\;cm^{-1}$ in IR chart, 7.5 ppm in NMR spectra, $61^{\circ}C$ endothermic peak in DSC heating curve. Surface-modified large unilamellar vesicle with galactose(N-SLBA-LUV) could be prepared with N-SLBA by reverse evaporation method. N-SLBA-LUV was identified by TEM and measuring of membrane function. The maximum amount of N-SLBA incorporated into liposome is up to about 15 mol%. Compared with control liposome (SA-LUV), N-SLBA-LUV showed lower encapsulation efficiency of MTX. It might due to the loss of positive surface charge of stearylamine. N-SLBA-LUV was similar to SA-LUV in aspect of osmotic behavior. N-SLBA-LUV prepared with N-SLBA would be expected to be a good carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue.

형광 강도 변화를 이용하여 세포막의 위상에 따른 하이드록시부티르산 혼입이 생체막에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 구형 인지질 이중층인 소포(vesicle)가 이중 에멀젼 기술을 통해 각 층 단위로 제조되었다. 소포 내부의 수성에는 아미노나프탈렌트리술폰산디소듐(ANTS)이 캡슐화되었으며, 소광제(quencher)로 자일렌비스피리디늄브로마이드(DPX)를 소포가 분산된 버퍼에 포함시켰다. 형광 등급은 100% 형광으로서 DPX가 포함된 완충액의 소포와 0% 형광으로서 ANTS와 DPX의 혼합물이 포함된 완충액의 소포를 고려하여 조정되었다. 소포 용액에 하이드록시부티르산 혼입은 막 구조의 변화를 유도하였으며, 이러한 변화는 하이드록시부티르산 대 지질의 비율에서 소포의 각 층의 상과 관련이 있는 것으로 관찰된다. 관찰된 결과는 머리 그룹과 꼬리 그룹 모두의 패킹 붕괴에 대한 삼투압 및 체적 효과로 인해 소포의 안정성에 의존하는 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: To determine whether the swelling and mechanical properties of osmotic self-inflating expanders allow or not the induction of intraoral soft tissue expansion in dogs. Methods: Three different volumes (0.15, 0.25, and 0.42 mL; referred to respectively as the S, M, and L groups) of soft tissue expanders (STEs) consisting of a hydrogel core coated with a silicone-perforated membrane were investigated in vitro to assess their swelling behavior (volume swelling ratio) and mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensile strain). For in vivo investigations, the STEs were subperiosteally inserted for 4 weeks in dogs (n=5). Soft tissue expansion was clinically monitored. Histological analyses included the examination of alveolar bone underneath the expanders and thickness measurements of the surrounding fibrous capsule. Results: The volume swelling ratio of all STEs did not exceed 5.2. In tensile mode, the highest mean strain was registered for the L group ($98.03{\pm}0.3g/cm$), whereas the lowest mean value was obtained in the S group ($81.3{\pm}0.1g/cm$), which was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). In addition, the S and L groups were significantly different in terms of tensile strength ($1.5{\pm}0.1g/cm$ for the S group and $2.2{\pm}0.1g/cm$ for the L group, P<0.05). Clinical monitoring showed successful dilatation of the soft tissues without signs of inflammation up to 28 days. The STEs remained volumetrically stable, with a mean diameter in vivo of 6.98 mm, close to the in vitro post-expansion findings (6.69 mm). Significant histological effects included highly vascularized collagen-rich fibrous encapsulation of the STEs, with a mean thickness of $0.67{\pm}0.12mm$. The bone reaction consisted of resorption underneath the STEs, while apposition was observed at their edges. Conclusions: The swelling and mechanical properties of the STEs enabled clinically successful soft tissue expansion. A tissue reaction consisting of fibrous capsule formation and bone loss were the main histological events.
