Background: Most lung cancer patients receive systemic chemotherapy at an advanced stage disease. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the main regimen for treating advanced lung cancer. Recently, autophagy has become an important mechanism of cellular adaptation under starvation or cell oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not autophagy can occurred in cisplatin-treated lung cancer cells. Methods: H460 cells were incubated with RPMI 1640 and treated in $5{\mu}M$ or $20{\mu}M$ cisplatin concentrations at specific time intervals. Cells surviving cisplatin treatment were measured and compared using an MTT cell viability assay to cells that underwent apoptosis with autophagy by nuclear staining, apoptotic or autophagic related proteins, and autophagic vacuoles. The development of acidic vascular organelles was using acridine orange staining and fluorescent expression of GFP-LC3 protein in its transfected cells was observed to evaluate autophagy. Results: Lung cancer cells treated with $5{\mu}M$ cisplatin-treated were less sensitive to cell death than $20{\mu}M$ cisplatin-treated cells in a time-dependent manner. Nuclear fragmentation at $5{\mu}M$ was not detected, even though it was discovered at $20{\mu}M$. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavages were not detected in $5{\mu}M$ within 24 hours. Massive vacuolization in the cytoplasm of $5{\mu}M$ treated cells were observed. Acridine orange stain-positive cells was increased according in time-dependence manner. The autophagosome-incorporated LC3 II protein expression was increased in $5{\mu}M$ treated cells, but was not detected in $20{\mu}M$ treated cells. The expression of GFP-LC3 were increased in $5{\mu}M$ treated cells in a time-dependent manner. Conclusion: The induction of autophagy occurred in $5{\mu}M$ dose of cisplatin-treated lung cancer cells.

식충식물의 잎은 결핍된 양분을 보충하기 위해 곤충을 유인하여 포획할 수 있는 포충엽으로 변형된다. 식충식물 표피조직에 발달하는 분비모는 특수한 모용으로 곤충포칙에 필요한 성분을 분비하여 먹이를 소화하고 흡수할 수 있도록 발달한다. 본 연구에서는 긴잎끈끈이주걱 (Drosera anglica Huds.) 엽신에 발달하는 여러 유형의 분비모 발달양상을 주사 및 투과전자현미경적인 방법으로 연구하였다. 포충엽 발달초기 엽원기 단계에서는 엽신이 접혀진 상태로 분화하여 상피조직은 노출되지 않으며, 하피조직에는 비분비모 및 모용원기들이 발달한다. 또한, 엽연이 접힌 상태로 어린 잎의 단계를 거치나 엽연에 발달하는 분비모는 기저부위만 노출되고 이들의 두정부위 및 다른 유형의 분비모들은 접힌 내부에 발달하여 보호된다. 병세포가 매우 길게 신장하는 엽연의 분비모에는 곤충 포획 시 가장 신속하게 식충의 기작을 수행하기 위한 세포수준에서의 구조분화도 수반된다. 엽연에는 긴 병세포를 지닌 약 $2.2{\sim}5.1\;mm$의 globose 분비모 (Type I)가 발달한 반면, 엽신의 내부로 갈수록 병세포는 점진적으로 짧아져 중앙 부위에서는 약 $200{\sim}300\;{\mu}m$의 짧은 병세포를 형성한다. 두정부위(head)는 2층의 분비세포, 중간의 장방형의 유세포층, 중앙의 가도관으로 구성된다. 엽연 분비모에 곤충이 접촉되면 이들 분비모는 매우 빠르게 움직이며 엽정 부위를 향축면으로 움직여 엽신이 곤충을 포위하게 하여 두정부위에서 분비된 점액성 물질로 곤충을 소화 흡수시키는 능동적인 식충의 기작을 수행한다. 또한, 엽신의 내부에는 분비물질을 분비하는 압핀형 두정부위와 짤은 병세포(ca. $15{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$)로 이루어진 분비모(Type II가 발달한다. 또 다른 유형은 병세포가 형성되지 않는 약 $25{\sim}40\;{\mu}m$의 6세포성분비모(Type III)로 상피 및 하피, 엽병, Type I 및 Type II 병세포 표면에 이르기까지 분포하며 위 두 유형의 분비모와 함께 활발한 분비활동을 수행한다. Type III 분비모의 경우, 분비물질은 정단의 두 세포에서만 방출되었다. Type I, II, III 두정부위 분비세포 세포벽에는 큐티클 층이 얇게 발달하며, 세포질 내에는 골지체, 소포체, 분비소낭 등의 막성계 세포내소기관 및 전자밀도가 높은 입자 등이 잘 발달하였다.

A dramatic development in the new technology of copying materials has presented us with massive problems on reconciling the conflicts between copyright owners and potential users of copyrighted materials. The adaptation to this changing condition led some countries to revise their copyright laws such as in the U. S. in 1976 and in Korea in 1984 for merging with the international or universal copyright conventions in the future. Copyright defined as exclusive rights given to copyright owners aims to secure a fair return for an author's creative labor and to stimulate artistic creativity for the general public good. The exclusive rights on copyrightable matters, generally for reproduction, preparation of derivative works, public distribution, public performance, and public display, are limited by fair use for scholarship and criticism and by library reproduction for its preservation and interlibrary loan. These limitations on the exclusive rights are concerned with all aspects of library services and cause a great burden on librarian's daily duty to provide balance between the rights of creators and the needs of library patrons. The fair use as one of the limitations on it has been coupled with enormous growth of a new technology and extended from xerography to online database systems. The implementation of the fair use and library reprography in Korean law to the local practices is examined on the basis of the new American copyright act of 1976. Under the draft revision of Korean law, librarians will face many potential problems as summarized below. 1. Because the new provision of 'life time plus 50 years' will tie up substantial bodies of material longer than the old law, until that date librarians would need permissions from the owners and should pay attention to the author's death date. 2. Because the copyright can be sold, distributed, given to the heirs, donated, as a whole or a part, librarians should chase down the heirs and other second owners. In case of a derivative work, this is a real problem. 3. Since a work has its protection from the moment of its creation, the coverage of copyrightable matter would be extended to the published or the unpublished works and librarian's work load would be heavier. Without copyright registration, no one can be certain that a work is in the public domain. Therefore, librarians will need to check with an authority. 4. For implementation of limitations on exclusive rights, fair use and library reproduction for interlibrary loan, there can be no substantial aggregate use and there can be no systematic distribution of multicopies. Therefore, librarians should not substitute reproductions for subscriptions or purchases. 5. For the interlibrary loan by photocopying, librarians should understand the procedure of royalty payment. 6. Compulsory licenses should be understood by librarians. 7. Because the draft revision of Korean law is a reciprocal treaty, librarians should take care of other countries' copyright law to protect foreign authors from Korean law. In order to solve the above problems, some suggestions are presented below. 1. That copyright clearinghouse or central agency as a centralized royalty payment mechanism be established. 2. That the Korean Library Association establish a committee on copyright. 3. That the Korean Library Association propose guidelines for each occasion, e.g. for interlibrary loan, books and periodicals and music, etc. 4. That the Korean government establish a copyright office or an official organization for copyright control other than the copyright committee already organized by the government. 5. That the Korean Library Association establish educational programs on copyright for librarians through seminars or articles written in its magazines. 6. That individual libraries provide librarian's copyright kits. 7. That school libraries distribute subject bibliographies on copyright law to teachers. However, librarians should keep in mind that limitations on exclusive rights are not for an exemption from library reprography but as a convenient access to library resources.

세계적으로 온실가스 감축을 위해 주로 이산화탄소 발생에 초점을 맞춰왔지만, 최근에는 메탄 발생에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 습지, 저수지, 호소 등 수중 환경을 포함한 자연은 온실 가스 중요한 발원지이다. 호수와 저수지 바닥에 쌓인 퇴적된 유기 오염물질은 산소가 부족한 상태에서 미생물 분해를 통해 메탄과 같은 온실 가스를 생성할 수 있다. 메탄 배출은 비점오염원의 증가와 하천에 설치되는 횡단 구조물에 의한 흐름변화에 의해 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 기후 변화로 인한 수온의 상승 등은 메탄 배출을 가속화하는 원인이다. 메탄은 다양한 경로를 통해 대기로 배출될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 메탄발생의 주요인자가 미치는 영향을 정량화하기 위하여 BMP test을 수행하였다. 실험조건에 따라 메탄발생량을 직접 계측하였으며, 실험조건은 온도, 기질의 종류, 전단응력 및 퇴적물 특성으로 구분하였다. 또한, 바닥의 전단 응력은 실험적으로 측정하기가 어려워 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험결과, 생화학적 요소는 메탄 생성에 영향을 미치지만, 전단 속도는 메탄 분리에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 퇴적물 특성은 메탄 생성 및 분리에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 메탄 생성과 주요인자들 간의 관계를 경험식으로 제시하였으며, 향후 전단응력 및 유기물에 대한 실험조건을 구체화하고 실험규모를 확대한다면 메탄발생과 생지화학 및 수환경인자간의 관계를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
