  • Mandibular movement is composed of border movement and functional movement. Border movement such as maximal mouth opening, hinge opening ad lateral eccentric movement has good reproducibility, but functional movement such as chewing, swallowing and speech has also reproducibility. Especially for chewing movement, individual reproducibility has been confirmed by many studies. Study of chewing pattern is still in controversy. In new approach for raising the diagnostic value, numeric parameters and morphologic characteristics could be used for evaluation of chewing pattern. This study was performed to investigate the differences between chewing pattern in controls and in patients with temporomandibular disorders. Sixty-three patients with temporomandibular disorders participated in this study, and they were divided into unilaterally affected subjects or bilaterally affected subjects. Then unilaterally affected subjects were classified into closed lock group, disk displacement with reduction group, and degenerative joint disease group. For recording of chewing pattern, subjects were asked to chew one piece of presoftened chewing gum on both sides, and the chewing movement was recorded with the Electrognatho- Graphy(Bio-Research Associates Inc., U.S.A.). Tooth contact pattern for occlusal stability (Total left-right statistics )was also recorded with T-Scan(Tekscan Co., U.S.A.). The dta related to chewing pattern and total left-right statistics were statistically analyzed by SAS/stat program. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In patient group, mean value of A-P distance and the ratio of A-P distance to vertical distance were larger than control group, but the value of lateral distance in affected side and the closing velocity in unaffected side were smaller than that of control group, respectively. 2. In case of unilateral affected patients, chewing pattern of other side had tendency to restricted movement and slow velocity in closed lock group or degenerative joint disease group than control group or disk displacement with reduction group. 3. In bilateral degenerative joint disease patients, contralateral side had tendency to large range of motion and slow chewing velocity than preferred chewing side. 4. The patients with restricted mouth opening below than 35mm had higher value of total left-right statistics than patient group mouth opening above 35mm. Also closed lock group had higher total left-right statistics than disk displacement with reduction group, degenerative joint disease group and control group. 5. There was some difference in morphologic characteristics of chewing pattern between in control group and in affected side of unilateral patient group, but no difference between control group and unaffected side of unilateral patient group. 6. There were positive correlations between vertical distance and A-P distance, between vertical distance and chewing velocity, between A-P distance and chewing velocity, and between opening velocity and closing velocity in unilateral affected patients.

  • 우수한 셀룰로오스 생산 균주인 Acetobacter xylinum BRC5의 교반배양에 의한 셀룰로오스 생산성을 향상시키기 위하여 fed-batch 배양을 하였으며, 기질공급속도, 기질 공급량 및 용존 산소의 영향을 검토하였다. 초기 glucose 양을 변화시켜 회분배양하였을 때 glucose 농도가 10 및 20 g/L인 경우 셀룰로오스 생산량은 각각 2.05와 4.10 g/L이였으며 glucose에 대한 셀룰로오스 수율 (Yp/s)은 0.21이었다. 초기 glucose 농도 40g/L일 때 셀룰로오스 수율을 향상시키기 위해서 초기 glucose 농도 20 g/L에서 회분배양을 시작하여 glucose가 gluconic acid로 완전히 전환된 시점부터 추가적으로 glucose를 공급하여 fed-batch 배양기간에 glucose 공급속도는 셀룰로오스 생산성에 큰 영향을 미쳐 20g/L의 glucose를 2.22 g/L.h의 속도로 9시간 첨가하여 fed-batch 배양한 결과 셀룰로오스 생성량이 10 g/L로 가장 우수하여 초기 glucose 농도 20 g/L로 회분배양하였을 때 비하여 약 2배 증가하였으며, $Y_{P/S}$도 0.26으로 현저히 향상되었다. 또한 동일조건으로 fed-batch 배양하면서 glucose 공급량을 증가시켜 40g/L의 glucose를 추가적으로 첨가한 경우 셀룰로오스 생산량은 10.7g/L는 거의 증가되지 않았으며, $Y_{P/S}$가 0.18로 감소하였다. 이는 셀룰로오스 농도가 증가함에 따라 산소 공급이 부족하기 때문이므로 용존산소(DOT)를 2~15% 포화범위에서 조절하여 fed-batch 배양했을 때 DOT를 10% 수준으로 유지하면서 fed-batch 배양기간에 40g/L의 glucose를 추가공급 했을 때 셀룰로오스 생성량은 15.3 g/L로 증가되었고 이때 $Y_{P/S}$는 0.26로 향상되었다. 이는 DO를 제어하지 않는 경우에 비하여 셀룰로오스 생성량이 1.5배 증가한 결과이다.

  • Objective: Aim of the current comparative study was to evaluate production outputs, reproduction efficiency and functional traits in dual-purpose Fleckvieh and Braunvieh cows, reared under temperate European conditions. Methods: A data-set from 414 Fleckvieh and 42 Braunvieh cows and 799 lactations was analysed. ID tag number, milk yield per milking session, number of steps/interval and milk conductivity were recorded and collected daily using AfiMilk 3.076 A-DU software (Afimilk Ltd., Kibbutz, Israel). Production and milk quality data were taken from the results of the official performance recordings and the reproductive outputs of cows were recorded by the research stations veterinarians. Comparisons between the two genotypes were carried out using the one way analysis of variance protocol, with categorical factor being considered the breed of cows. All the statistical inferences were carried out using Statistica software (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA). Results: Fleckvieh cows significantly outperformed ($p{\leq}0.05$) the Braunvieh herd, with average milk yields of $5,252.1{\pm}35.79kg$ and $4,897.6{\pm}128.94kg$, respectively. Age at first calving was significantly ($p{\leq}0.01$) influenced by the breed, with Fleckvieh heifers being more precocious ($32.8{\pm}0.29mo$) compared to those of Braunvieh breed ($35.7{\pm}0.84mo$). Reproduction efficiency as defined by the number of inseminations per gestation, calving interval, dystocia, days dry and days open, was not influenced by genotype (p>0.05). Incidences of sub-clinical mastitis, clinical mastitis, lameness and abortions were not influenced by the breed factor (p>0.05). Stay-ability of cows was significantly ($p{\leq}0.001$) influenced by genotype, with Braunvieh cows having an average age at culling of $117.88{\pm}11.78$ months compared to $90.88{\pm}2.89$ months in Fleckvieh. Conclusion: Overall, results have shown that genotype significantly influenced milk yield, age at first calving and longevity.

  • 최근, 헵타메틴 시아닌색소(heptamethinecyanine)는 그 적용 범위가 넓기 때문에 많은 연구자들의 관심을 받고 있다. 특히, photo-sensitizers, dye lasers, optical recordings와 storage media 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능하다. 헵타메틴 시아닌색소의 주된 특징은 polymethine 사슬에 연결된 cyclohexene 고리에 의하여 근적외선 부근에서 흡수가 이뤄진다는 것이다. 근적외선 색소의 흡수 특성을 HOMO와 LUMO 에너지 전위를 사용하여, 수치화 함으로써 분자간, 분자내 상호작용을 분석 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 실험은 헵타메틴 시아닌 색소의 치환체에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 순환 전압-전류법(Cyclic voltammetry)과 분자 모델링을 통하여 HOMO와 LUMO의 에너지 준위를 구하고, 치환체 효과가 헵타메틴 시아닌색소에 미치는 전기화학적 특성을 UV-Vis와 계산으로부터 얻어진 에너지준위를 분석하고자 한다. 본 실험에 사용된 Uv-Vis 스펙트럼 측정은 Agilent 8453 UV-Vis spectrophotometer를 사용하였고, 전기화학적 분석 방법인 순환 전압-전류법은 Versa STAT 3 (Princeton allied research in USA)를 사용하였다. 순환전압-전류법의 측정은 Acetonitrile 용액에 $TBAPF_6$ (Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate)를 전해질로 하고, Ag/$Ag^+$을 기준전극으로 사용하여 주사 속도를 50mV/s로 하여 측정 하였다. 치환체에 의한 영향을 알아보기 위하여 분자구조 최적화 모델링을 사용하였다. 3차원 분자입체 특성 및 에너지 준위 상태는 Materials studio 4.2를 사용하여 특성을 예측 하였다. 본 연구에서는, 헵타메틴 시아닌 색소의 기본 골격에 각기 다른 치환체를 치환 시켜 치환체에 의한 영향을 전기화학적인 방법인 순환 전압-전류법(Cyclic voltammetry)와 분자 모델링 방법을 사용하여, HOMO와 LUMO에너지 준위 값을 구함으로써 치환체에 의한 영향을 알아보았다. 치환체로는 Dye 1과 Dye 2로 치환된 헵타메틴 시아닌 색소를 사용하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 HOMO/LUMO 에너지 준위 값으로부터 이온화 에너지($I_p$)와 전자 친화도($E_a$) 또한 구할 수 있는데, $I_p$$E_a$는 분자 오비탈과 전자전이에 관련된 값들이고, 이는 계산을 통하여 얻을 수 있다. 순환 전압-전류법의 계산 방법은 봉우리 전위(peak postential)와 (onset potential)방법이 있는데, 이 계산을 통한 전위 값들이 봉우리 전위 계산 방법이 onset potential 방법에 비하여 작은 전위 값으로 나타난다. 하지만 이 두 가지 방법 모두 현재 순환 전압-전류법을 사용하여 HOMO/LUMO 에너지 준위를 측정하는 방법에 쓰이고 있으며, 어떠한 계산 방법이 더 정확하다고는 말 할 수 없지만, 본 실험 결과를 통하여 비교 분석한 결과 onset potential 계산 방법이 봉우리 전위 계산 방법에 비하여 정확하다고 판단된다. Dye 1과 Dye 2를 순환 전압-전류법으로 측정한 결과 각기 다른 전위를 나타내고 이것을 계산을 통하여 정량화하면 Dye 2가 Dye 1에 비하여 높은 전위 값을 갖음을 알 수 있는데, 이것은 ethyl 에 비하여 surful 원자의 전자공여성이 더 크다고 할 수 있다.

  • ER stress에 관련된 유전자의 기능변화와 전사조절인자 분석하기 위해 ER stress를 유도한 간세포에서 expression microarray로 유전자 발현을 확보한 후 GSECA로 분석하였다. ER stress가 유도되면, ER에 주어지는 과도한 부하를 감소시키는 기능들이 증가하는 반면, ER stress가 더 증가함에 따라 ATP 생성이나 DNA repair, 더 나아가 세포분열의 기능이 감소하는 등 세포가 damage을 받음을 알 수 있었다. ER stress에 관련된 전사조절인자로는 FOX04, AP-1, FOX03, HNF4, IRF-1, GATA 등의 전사조절인자들이 ER stress에 의해 발현이 증가하는 유전자들의 promoter에 공통적으로 존재하였으며, E2F, Nrf-1, Elk-1, YY1, CREB, MTF-1, STAT-1, ATF 등의 전사인자들이 발현이 감소하는 유전자들의 promoter에서 공통적으로 존재하여, 이들의 전사인자들이 ER stress에 의한 유전자의 발현조절에 중요한 역할을 하는 전사조절인자임을 알 수 있었다.

  • Nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as quinoline, quinazolinones and indole are scaffolds of natural products and have broad biological effects. During the last years those structures have been intensively synthesized and modified to yield new synthetic molecules that can specifically inhibit the activity of dysregulated protein kinases in cancer cells. Herein, a series of newly synthesized isoquinolinamine (FX-1 to 8) and isoindoloquinazolinone (FX-9, FX-42, FX-43) compounds were evaluated in regards to their anti-leukemic potential on human B- and T- acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Several biological effects were observed. B-ALL cells (SEM, RS4;11) were more sensitive against isoquinolinamine compounds than T-ALL cells (Jurkat, CEM). In SEM cells, metabolic activity decreased with $10{\mu}M$ up to 26.7% (FX-3), 25.2% (FX-7) and 14.5% (FX-8). The 3-(p-Tolyl) isoquinolin-1-amine FX-9 was the most effective agent against B- and T-ALL cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.54 to $1.94{\mu}M$. None of the tested compounds displayed hemolysis on erythrocytes or cytotoxicity against healthy leukocytes. Anti-proliferative effect of FX-9 was associated with changes in cell morphology and apoptosis induction. Further, influence of FX-9 on PI3K/AKT, MAPK and JAK/STAT signaling was detected but was heterogeneous. Functional inhibition testing of 58 kinases revealed no specific inhibitory activity among cancer-related kinases. In conclusion, FX-9 displays significant antileukemic activity in B- and T-ALL cells and should be further evaluated in regards to the mechanisms of action. Further compounds of the current series might serve as templates for the design of new compounds and as basic structures for modification approaches.

  • Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) possess immunoregulatory properties and their regulatory functions represent a potential therapy for acute lung injury (ALI). However, uncertainties remain with respect to defining MSCs-derived immunomodulatory pathways. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the enhanced effect of human recombinant bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) primed ES-MSCs (MSCBMP2) in promoting Tregs in ALI mice. MSC were preconditioned with 100 ng/ml rhBMP-2 for 24 h, and then administrated to mice by intravenous injection after intratracheal injection of 1 mg/kg LPS. Treating MSCs with rhBMP-2 significantly increased cellular proliferation and migration, and cytokines array reveled that cytokines release by MSCBMP2 were associated with migration and growth. MSCBMP2 ameliorated LPS induced lung injury and reduced myeloperoxidase activity and permeability in mice exposed to LPS. Levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase were decreased while levels of total glutathione and superoxide dismutase activity were further increased via inhibition of phosphorylated STAT1 in ALI mice treated with MSCBMP2. MSCBMP2 treatment increased the protein level of IDO1, indicating an increase in Treg cells, and Foxp3+CD25+ Treg of CD4+ cells were further increased in ALI mice treated with MSCBMP2. In co-culture assays with MSCs and RAW264.7 cells, the protein level of IDO1 was further induced in MSCBMP2. Additionally, cytokine release of IL-10 was enhanced while both IL-6 and TNF-α were further inhibited. In conclusion, these findings suggest that MSCBMP2 has therapeutic potential to reduce massive inflammation of respiratory diseases by promoting Treg cells.

  • After the investigation on, and the analysis of, the educational system for medical technicians and the present educational situation for medical technologies in this country, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. As of March 1983 the current academic system for education in medical technologies included the regular 4-year college courses and those of the 2-year professional junior college courses. But except in the cases on clinical pathology and physical therapy, there were no college-level departments. Particularly, no educational institutions, at whatever level, had a department for working therapies. 2. The total number of credits needed for graduation from a department of medical technologies was 150 points at a regular 4-year college and 85 to 96 points at a 2-year professional college. The obligatory minimum number of credits for a student at a professional college was set at 80 points and above. 3. As for the number of the educational institutions for medical technologies in this country, there were one regular college and 14 professional colleges, a total of 15 institutions. As many as 14 colleges had departments of clinical pathology, 12 had departments of Radiotechnology, 11 had departments of physical therapy, 12 had departments of dental technology, and eight had departments of dental hygiene. 4. The total capacity of the professional colleges in admitting new enrollment each year were 1,920 for clinical pathology, 1,552 for radiology, 1,012 for physical therapy, 1,334 for dental technologies, 828 for dental hygiene, an aggregate of 6,646 for all of the professional college departments. 5. The total number of graduates from the 12 professional colleges by department during the period of 1965-83 were 7,595 for clindical pathology, 4,768 for radiology, 2,821 for physical therapy, 3,000 for dental technologies, and 1,787 for dental hygiene, totalling 19,971 for all departments in the professional colleges. 6. In the state examination for licensed medical technicians, 12,446 have passed from among the total of 26,609 participants, representing a 45% passing ratio. By departments the ratios showed 44% for clinical pathology, 39.7% for radiology, 51.2% for physical therapy, 42.5% for dental technology, 72.5% for dental hygiene and 73.1% for working therapy. 7. As for the degree of satisfaction shown by the people in this field, 52.2 percent of the teaching staffs who responed to the questionaires said they were satisfied with their present profession, while the great majority of medical technicians(66%) replied that they were indifferent to the problem. 8. The degree of satisfaction shown by the students on their enrollment in this particular academic field was generally in the framework of indifference(43.7%), but mere students(36.5%) were satisfied with their choice than those were not satisfied(14.4%) 9. As for the student's opinions on the lectures and practicing hours, a good many students replied that, among such courses as general science and humanities courses the basic medical course, the major course and practicing hours, the hours provided for the general courses(47.1%) and practicing(47.6%) were insufficient. 10. When asked about the contents of their major courses, comparatively few students (23.6%) replied that the courses were too difficult, while a convincing majority(58.5%) said they were neither difficult nor easy. As for the appropriateness of the number of the present teaching staffs, a great majority(71.0%) of the students replied that the level of the teaching personnel in each particular field was insufficient. 11. Among the students who responded to the poll, good part of them(49.5%) wanted mandatory clinical practicing hours, and the the majority of them(64.6%) held the view that the experimental and practicing facilities of their schools were insufficient. 12. On the necessity of the attached hospitals, 71.1% of the teaching staffs and 58.0% of the medical technicians had the opinion that this kind of facility was indispensable. 13. As for the qualifications for applicants to the state examination in the licensing system for medical technicians, 52.2% of the teacher's and 36% of the medical technicians replied that the present system granting the qualifications according to the apprenticeship period should be abolished. 14. On the necessity of improving the present system for education in medical technologies, an overwhelming majority(94.4% of the :caching staffs, 92.0% of the medical technicians and 91.9% of students) of these polled replied that the present system should be changed for the better. 15. On the method of changes for the present educational system, a great majority(89.4% of the teaching staffs, 80.4% of the medical technicians and 90.1% of the students) said that the system must be changed so that it fits into the reality of the present day. 16. As for the present 2-year program for the professional colleges, 61.6% of the teachers, 72.0% of the medical technicians and 38.8% of the students expressed the hope that the academic period would be extended to four regular years, hemming a full-fledged collegelevels program. 17. On the life-long eductional system for medical technicians, there was a considerable number of people who expressed the hope that an open university system(38.9% of the teaching staffs, 36.0% of the medical technicians) and a graduate school system would be set up. 18. As for the future prospects for medical technicians as professionals, the optimists ana pessimists were almost equally divided, and 41.1% of the teaching staffs 36.0% of. the technicians and 50.5% of the students expressed an intermediate position on this issue.
