  • Footpad swelling having the relationship with arthus-reaction of antibody-mediated hypersensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity was recovered to the almost normal level. The nethemoglobin induced by aniline showed no significant deviation. PFC/spleen cell and PFC/106 spleen cell were increased slightly, but not in case of RFC. Hemagglutination value was increased slightly, but hemolytic value was not changed significantly. Mice in the administration of the polysaccharide does not show any significant stress factor in the cage for mice admlrustered plasma corticosterone. Key words: antibody-mediated hypersensitivity, delayed type hypersensitivity, methemoglobin, Hemagglutination value, hemolytic value, plasma corticosterone.

  • Using ray-optics code incorporated with three-dimensional PDP cell simulation, we have analysed the energy flow in the PDP cell from the electric power input to the visible light output. Also, the visible light output profile and viewing angle distribution were obtained. We applied our code to the analysis of the barrier rib height effect on the visible light luminance and efficiency of the sustaining discharge. Although cells with higher barrier rib generate more VUV photons, less ratio of visible photons are emitted toward front panel due to the shadow effect. Thus, there exists optimal barrier rib height giving the highest visible luminance and efficiency. This kind of code can be a powerful tool in designing cell geometry.

  • In this experiment, we have investigated that the transported space charge between sub-pixels in AC-plasma cell discharge. The test pulse 30 V, $5{\mu}s$ was applied to the address electrodes of neighbor cells of discharge occurred cells. And we have measured the transported space charge between sub-pixels in accordance with the various last sustain pulse widths t(time gap between the rising edges of sustain and test pulses) of 0.2 to $3{\mu}s$. It was observed that the peak value of transported space charge has been shown to be 21.5pC at $1.0{\mu}s$. And the IR peak value have been occured after $0.51{\mu}s$ with respect to sustain voltage.

  • The spatio-temporal variation of Infra Red(IR) emission images were obtained from a real 3-dimensional discharge space of a surface discharge type, alternating current plasma display panel(AC PDP) cell with the Ne-Xe(4%) 400Torr gas mixture. IR emissions were observed in each period of the ADS(Address and Display Separation) driving scheme with ramp initializing waveform using an images intensified charge coupled device(ICCD) camera. The roles of each electrode were identified and it was compared with the results of the discharge simulation and of the wall charge distributions measured by the electro-optic technique.

  • A new mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp with a single cell having dimension 2.2inches across the diagonal, had been developed which shows a wide, stable operating voltage margin, high luminance and luminous efficacy by adopting the bipolar pulse drive scheme. In this paper, the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a 32inch sized panel across the diagonal by a simple repetition of the single cells. A driving scheme is proposed for a 2-bit areal selective dimming using dual auxiliary electrodes and bipolar drive scheme.

  • In AC PDP, since charges generated by gas discharge are accumulated on the dielectric. The dielectric is a major factor to determine cell capacitance and its memory effect is a play an important role in PDP driving. In this experiment, we have investigated the electro-optical characteristics with dielectric thickness and we have analyzed wall charge and wall voltage by Q-V energy diagram. The dielectric thickness was varied from 20 um to 50 um. As results, according to the dielectric thickness increase,cell capacitance and power consumption is reduced.

  • Fuel Cell is used stacking metal or polymer substrate. This hydro property of substrate surface is very important. Usually, surface property is hydrophilic. The surface oxidation of SUS is investigated through plasma treatments with an atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) for increasing hydrophilic property. The plasma process makes an experiment under various operating conditions of the DBD, which operating conditions are treatment time, plasma gas mixture ratio, the plasma source supply frequency. Two kinds of SUS substrate, SUS-304 and SUS 316L, were used. Discharge frequency has a crucial impact on equipment performance and gas treatment. After the plasma treatment of a SUS plate, highly improved wettability was noted. But, when high oxygen supply, the substrate damaged seriously.

  • This study investigated the effects of vitamin E supplementation on immune responses and antioxidant status in healthy Korean old and young women. Blood samples were obtained from 15 healthy old women (over 60 years old) and from 15 healthy young women(20 years old) before and 4 weeks after vitamin E( tocopherol acetate) supplementation(400IU/day). Daily nutrient intakes were calculated, and plasma vitamin E concentration, numbers and percentages of white blood cell and their subpopulation, percentages of lymphocytes and subpopulation, NK cell percentages, plasma immunoglobulin A, G, M and C3 concentration, proliferation of PMN with mitogen were measured. Also plasma TBARS concentration and radical scavenger activity of erythrocytes were investigated. Plasma vitamin E concentrations were significantly increased after supplementation in both groups. In elderly women, vitamin E supplementation restored the per centages of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and eosinophils which had been out of normal ranges before supple mentation. And after vitamin E supplementation, helper T cell percentages significantly increased in elderly. Plasma immunoglobulin and complement C3 concentrations were not affected by vitamin E supplementation in both groups. PMN proliferations with mitogen were significantly lower in old women than in young women, and there was no effect of vitamin E supplementation. Vitamin E supplementation significantly decreased plasma TBARS concentrations in old and young women. RSA of erythrocytes was increased in both groups, but the statistical significant was only found in young women group. Therefore, these results suggest that the moderate vitamin E supplementation in old women improves immune responses, especially nonspecific immunity and cell mediated immunity, via protection of oxidant stress.

  • The osseointegration in implant therapy is achieved following general wound healing mechanism. Platelet play a major role in wound healing process. In addition to blood clot formation, they secrete many growth factors which regulate the attachment, proliferation and differentiation of nearly all cell types. The use of these growth factors is now known to be very effective methods to improve the cellular activity. Platelet-rich plasma which is made with the newly developed technique concentrating platelets 3-folds or more is also proven to be very effective method to stimulate and accelerate the healing of bone and soft tissue. Previous study proved that platelet-rich plasma enhanced the cellular attachment by inducing fibronectin, vitronectin from osteoblast. So, this study was aimed to investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma on the cellular proliferation and differentiation in vitro. The effect on the proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. To evaluate autocrine and paracrine effect, conditioned medium was made and compared. By measuring alkaline phosphatase activity, the effect on the cellular differentiation was evaluated. The results were as following: The cellular proliferation of osteoblast cell line increased depending on the concentration of platelet-rich plasma and conditioned medium. The alkaline phosphatase activity increased depending on the concentration of platelet-rich plasma and conditioned medium. These findings imply that platelet-rich plasma enhance the cellular proliferation and differentiation and maximize the cellular activity by using the autocrine and paracrine effect.
