  • 자폐장애와 fragile X증후군의 관련성과 자폐장애 환자에서 특이한 염색체 이상유무를 알고자 자폐장애 환자 29명을 대상으로 하고 질병대조군으로 정신지체 환자 30명을 대상으로 하여, 1) PHA 자극 말초혈 임파구의 G분염에 의한 상용 염색체검사를 실시하여 염색체 이상 유무를 확인하고, 2) MTX를 함유한 배지에서 fragile site 분석을 각각 실시하였다. 연구결과 G 분염에 의한 상용 염색체검사에서는 자폐장애군과 정신지체군에서 모두 46XX 혹은 46XY로서 정상 핵형을 보였으며, fragile site 분석결과에서 fra X(q27.3)은 두 군 모두에서 한 명도 발견되지 않았다. Fragile X 이외의 염색체 이상을 보인 예는 자폐장애군 11명(37.9%), 정신지체군에서 10명(33.3%) 발견되었으나 자폐장애군과 정신지체군 상호간에 유의성 있는 차이는 발견할 수 없었으며, fragile site와 gap이 A, B, C, D, E군에서 다양하게 분포되어 있어 의미있는 분절 부위는 없었다. Fragile site가 관찰된 세포의 수는 자폐장애군에서 31개로 관찰한 모든 중기 세포의 3.6%에 해당하였고 정신지체군에서 29개, 3.2%가 발견되었으며 gap이 관찰된 세포의 수는 자폐장애군에서 43개로 관찰한 모든 중기세포의 4.9%에 해당하였고 정신지체군에서 35개, 3.9%가 발견되었다. 이상의 결과에서, 본 연구에서 조사대상으로 한 자폐장애군에서는 fragile(X)(q27.3)가 한 예에서도 관찰되지 않아, fragile X 증후군에 의한 자폐장애는 매우 드물 것으로 생각되며, fragile X증후군을 자폐장애의 직접적인 원인으로는 생각하기 힘들다. 그리고 자폐장에 환자에서 관찰되는 fragile site와 gap은 정신지체군에서도 비슷한 빈도 및 양상으로 관찰되는 바 자폐장애 환자의 특이한 소견은 아니었다.

  • Carrier-selective contacts (CSCs) solar cells are considerably attractive on highly efficient crystalline silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells due to their advantages of high thermal tolerance and the simple fabrication process. CSCs solar cells require a hole selective contact (HSC) layer that selectively collects only holes. In order to selectively collect holes, it must have a work function characteristic of 5.0 eV or more when contacted with n-type Si. The VOx, NiOx, and CuIx thin films were fabricated and analyzed respectively to confirm their potential usage as a hole-selective contact (HSC) layer. All thin films showed characteristics of band-gap engergy > 3.0 eV, work function > 5.0 eV and minority carrier lifetime > 1.5 ms.

  • Exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) induces apoptosis in mammalian cells, The caspase group of proteases is required for the appotosis. This pathway is initiated by a release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Several Bcl-2 family proteins can regulate the release of cytochrome c by stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane. Here we show that expression of the endogenous bcl-xL was strongly downregulated in NIH3T3 cells within 2 h after UV-C irradiation, and that of bax was upregulated from 8 h after irradiation. Apoptosis was induced in more than 50% of the NIH3T3 cells 48 h after irradiation. Constitutive overexpression of bcl-xL in NIH3T3 cells protected the UV-induced apoptosis by preventing the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the activation of caspase 9. There results suggest that downregulation of Bcl-xL is relevant to UV-induced apoptosis of tibroblasts.

  • 培養 HeLa 細胞의 酸素消費量과 Lysine 吸收에 미치는 X-線 照射의 영향을 측정하였다. 1. 200r의 X-線 照射는 酸素消費量에 아무러한 영향이 없다. 酸素消費量은 succinate, citrate, 및 $\\alpha$-ketoglutarate에 의하여 增大되며 X-線 照射群에서도 이 傾向은 同一하다. 2. 酸素消費量에 미치는 sodium azide 와 2,4-dinitrophenol 의 영향은 X-線 照射에 의하여 상당히 변화된다. 3. Lysine의 初期吸收率은 X-線 照射에 의하여 甚히 低下되며, 또한 飽和吸收量도 減少된다. 4. Glucose는 lysine의 吸收를 促進시키고, succinate는 아무러한 영향이 없으며 citrate와 $\\alpha$-ketoglutarate는 억제한다. X-線 照射는 이러한 傾向에 아무런 변화를 초래하지 않는다. 5. Lysine의 吸收에 미치는 sodium azide와 2,4-dinitrophenol의 영향은 酸素消費量에 미치는 이들의 영향과 判異하다. 이러한 傾向은 X-線 照射群에서도 대체로 동일하다.

  • The effects of Ge composition variation in $a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$ alloy p-i-n solar cells on the physical properties and current density-voltage characteristics are analyzed by a new simulation modelling based on the update published experimental datas. The simulation modelling includes newly formulated density of gap density spectrum corresponding to Ge composition variation and utilizes the newly derived generation rate formulars which include the reflection coefficients and can apply to multijunction structures as well as single junction structure. The effects in $a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$ single junction are analyzed through the efficiency, fill factor, open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, free carriers, trap carriers, electric field, generation rate and recombination rate. Based on the results analyzed in single junction structure, the applications to multiple junction structures are discussed and the optimal conditions reaching to a high performance are investigated.

  • GaAs solar cells may be the most attractive and efficient power source of a satellite. GaAs is more radiation tolerant and less temperature sensitive than widely used silicon. $Al_{x}$ Ga$_{1-x}$ As/GaAs solar cells have been designed and fabricated by Liquid Phase Epitaxial method. GaAs solar cells, of which structure is about 0.2 .mu.m p$^{+}$ - window layer, 0.6-1.O .mu.m Ge-doped p-layer. 3.mu.m n-GaAs layer and n$^{+}$ - buffer layer, have been characterized as a function of operating temperature from 25 .deg.C to 130 .deg.C. Open circuit voltage decreases linearly with increasing temperature by 1.4-1.51 mV/ .deg.C while degradation of silicon solar cells is about 2.2-2.5 mV/ .deg.C, short circuit current does not increase much with increasing temperature. Relative efficiency decreases with increasing of temperature by about 0.21-0.29 %/ .deg.C. Efficiency degradation of silicon solar cells with temperature is known to be about 0.5%/ .deg.C and our results show GaAs solar cells may be an excellent candidate for concentrated solar cells.ells.

  • We have investigated the effects of chemical rounding (CR) on the surface passivation and/or antireflection performance of $AlO_{x^-}$ and $AlO_x/SiN_x:H$ stack-passivated pyramid textured $p^+$-emitters with two different boron doping concentrations, and on the performance of bifacial n-PERT Si solar cells with a front pyramid textured $p^+$-emitter. From experimental results, we found that chemical rounding markedly enhances the passivation performance of $AlO_x$ layers on pyramid textured $p^+$-emitters, and the level of performance enhancement strongly depends on boron doping concentration. Meanwhile, chemical rounding increases solar-weighted reflectance ($R_{SW}$) from ~2.5 to ~3.7% for the $AlO_x/SiN_x:H$ stack-passivated pyramid textured $p^+$-emitters after 200-sec chemical rounding. Consequently, compared to non-rounded bifacial n-PERT Si cells, the short circuit current density Jsc of 200-sec-rounded bifacial n-PERT Si cells with ~60 and ${\sim}100{\Omega}/sq$ $p^+$-emitters is reduced by 0.8 and $0.6mA/cm^2$, respectively under front $p^+$-emitter side illumination. However, the loss in the short circuit current density Jsc is fully offset by the increased fill factor FF by 0.8 and 1.5% for the 200-sec-rounded cells with ~60 and ${\im}100{\Omega}/sq$ $p^+$-emitters, respectively. In particular, the cell efficiency of the 200-sec-rounded cells with a ${\sim}100{\Omega}/sq$ $p^+$-emitter is enhanced as a result, compared to that of the non-rounded cells. Based on our results, it could be expected that the cell efficiency of bifacial n-PERT Si cells would be improved without additional complicated and costly processes if chemical rounding and boron doping processes can be properly optimized.

  • The adjuvant effect of a muramyl dipeptide (MDP) derivative, MDP-Lys(L18), on enhancing of antitumor immunity induced by X-irradiated tumor cells against highly metastatic B16-BL6 melanoma cells was examined in mice. Mice immunized intradermally (i.d.) with a mixture of X-irradiated B16-BL6 cells and MDP-Lys (L18) [Vac+MDP-Lys (L18)] followed by an intravenous (i.v.)inoculation of $10^4$ viable tumor cells 7 days after immunization, showed a significant inhibition of experimental lung metastasis of B16-BL6 melanoma cells. The most effective immunization for the prophylactic inhibition of tumor metastasis was obtained from the mixture of $100{\;}\mu\textrm{g}$ of MDP-Lys (L18) and $10^4$ X-irradiatied tumor vaccine. Furthermore, immunization of mice with Vac+MDP-Lys(L18), 3 days after tumor challenge, resulted in a significant inhibition of lung metastasis of B16-BL6 melanoma cells in an experimental lung metastasis model. Similarly, the administration of Vac+MDP-Lys(L18), 1 or 7 days after tumor removal, markedly inhibited tumor metastasis of B16-BL6 in a spontaneous lung metastasis model. When Vac+MDP-Lys (L18) was i.d. administered 3 days after subcutaneous (s.c.) inoculation of tumor cells ($5{\times}10^5/site$) on the back, mice treated with Vac+MDP-Lys(L18) showed inhibition of significantly tumor growth on day 20. These results suggest that MDP-Lys (L18) is able to enhance antitumor activity induced by X-irradiated tumor vaccine to reduce lung metastasis of tumor cells, and is a potent immunomodulating agent which may be applied prophylactically as well as therapeutically to treatment of cancer metastasis.
