본 연구에서는 생물학적 모방에 따른 물고기 로봇의 직진유영에 관한 연구로써, Liu 등이 제안한 꼬리 모션 함수를 푸우리에 급수 전개의 7차 항까지 고려한 제안된 방법과 일반적인 사인함수만으로 근사한 방법과 비교하여 모의실험 하였다. 일반적으로 로봇 물고기의 꼬리 링크의 길이가 길어지고 링크가 많을 경우, 로봇 물고기의 꼬리 모션 함수의 말단 회전 관절 궤적은 사인 함수의 모양과 매우 다르다. 그러므로 로봇 물고기의 꼬리 궤적을 단순한 푸우리에 급수 전개의 기본파 성분만으로 근사하기에는 문제가 있다. 제안된 방법과 일반적인 사인함수만으로 근사한 방법의 모의실험 결과 제안된 방법이 로봇 물고기의 추력과 속도에서 10%정도 뛰어남을 보였다.

Selenium-containing peptide (selenium peptide) was produced by autolysis of total proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown with inorganic selenium. Selenium peptide exhibited antioxidant activity as a glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimic, and its activity was dependent on the hydrolysis methods. The GPx-like activity of the hydrolyzed selenium peptide increased 2.7-folds when digested by protease, but decreased by acid hydrolysis. During the autolysis of the yeast cell, the GPx-like activity and selenium content increased 4.3- and 2.3-folds, respectively, whereas the average molecular weight (MW) of selenium peptide decreased 70%. The GPx-like activity was dependent on the MW of selenium peptide and was the highest (220 U/mg protein) at 9,500 dalton. The maximum GPx-like activity (28,600 U/g cell) was obtained by 48 h of autolysis of the cells, which were precultured with 20 ppm of selenate. Selenium peptide showed little toxicity, compared with highly toxic inorganic selenium. These results show the potential of selenium peptide as a nontoxic antioxidant that can be produced by simple autolysis of yeast cells.

CST(C-shape sharp turn)는 물고기가 유영 시 빠른 방향 전환을 위해 물고기 꼬리 부분을 빠르게 C-형태로 구부려 빠르게 방향 전환을 하는 모션을 나타낸다. 그러나 CST와 관련된 모션 궤적 함수는 아직 일반화된 함수가 없다. 본 연구에서는 생물학자들이 실제 물고기의 관측으로부터 나온 순차적인 물고기의 모션 기록을 통하여 CST룰 위한 매우 단순한 모션 함수를 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 함수의 유용성을 확인하였다.

This aims to review natural products transformed by mimic intestinal metabolisms with microorganisms and hydrolytic enzymes, which exhibit enforced biological activity, higher extraction yield and identification of active components. In the process, transformation to the smaller active compounds with enzymes and microbes mimics the pharmacological action of natural products by intestinal bacteria. In order to establish conditions for the fermentation and enzyme reaction, it is required to choose several natural products for biotransformation and investigate the optimal conditions for the fermentation or the enzyme reaction such as composition, temperature, pH, inoculum, and cultivation time. It is expected an increase of the internal absorption of the active materials without regard to the intestinal microbes or its ability through biosynthesis of the active materials by the microbes and enzymes. And this techniques can be applied to biotransformation of natural products such as sesaminol, resveratrol, 1-deoxy nojirimycin, naringenin, quercetin, and baicalin and to the metabolism study using the animal model.

Various simulation techniques were developed in the modeling of biological system during the last decades. Mostly analog and hybrid simulation techniques have been used. The authors chose the Digital Analog Simulation (DAS) technique by using the MIMIC language to simulate the saccadic eye movement system performances on the digital computer. There have been various models presented by many investigators after Young & Stark's sampled-data model. The eye movement model chosen by the authors is Robinson's model III which shows the parallel information processing characteristics clearly to the double-step input stimuli. In the process of simulation, the parameter and constants used were based on the neurophysiological data of the human and animals. The analog model blocks were converted to the corresponding MIMIC block diagrams and programmed into the MIMIC statements. The program was run on the CDC Cyber 72-14 computer. The essential input stimulus was double-step of 5 and 10 degrees, and target durations chosen were 50,100 and 150 msec. The results obtained by the DAS technqiue were in good agreement with analog simulation carried out by other investigators as well as with the experimental human saccadic eye movement responses to double-step target movements.

(Z)-13-Octadecen-1-yl acetate, the pheromone mimic of the Rice Leaf Folder Moth, Cnaphalocrosis medinalis, was synthesized from 1,13-tridecanediol in three steps. Monoacetylation of 1,13-tridecanediol followed by PCC oxidation gave 13-acetoxytridecan-1-al. Wittig olefination of the 13-acetoxytridecan-1-al with pentylidenetriphenylphosphonium ylide afforded (Z)-13-octadecen-1-yl acetate, the pheromone mimic of the Rice Leaf Folder.

MR compatible coaxial-slot antenna for microwave hyperthermia was developed while its structure and size of each part were determined by computer simulation using finite element method(FEM). Its local heating performance was evaluated using tissue-mimic phantom and swine muscles. 2% agarose gel mixed with 6mM/$\ell$ $MnCl_2$ as a biological tissue-mimic phantom was heated by the proposed antenna driven by a 2.45GHz microwave generator. The temperature changes of the phantom were monitored using multi-channel digital thermometer at the distance of 0mm, 5mm, 10mm and 20mm from the tip center of the antenna. Also muscle tissue of swine was heated for 2 and 5minutes with 50W and 30W of microwave generator powers, respectively, to evaluate the local heating performance of the antenna. MRI compatibility was also verified by acquiring MR images and MR temperature map. MR signals were acquired from the agarose gel phantom using $T2^*$ GRE sequence with 1.5T clinical MRI scanner(Signa Echospeed, GE, Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A.) at Pusan Paik Hospital and were transferred to PC in order to reconstruct MR images and temperature map using proton resonance frequency(PRF) method and laboratory-developed phase unwrapping algorithm. Authors found that it has no severe distortion due to the antenna inserted into the phantom. Finally, we can conclude that the suggested coaxial-slot antenna has an excellent local heating performance for both of tissue-mimic phantom and swine muscle, and it is compatible to 1.5T MRI scanner.

본 연구에서는 폴리디메틸실록산(PDMS)과 모세관-미세몰딩(MIMIC) 기술을 활용하여 마이크로패턴 채널 시스템을 제작하고, 단일 세포 수준에서 극성화 패턴으로 형성되는 분자 신호를 고해상도 세포 이미징을 통해 분석하였다. 이 과정에서 혈소판유래성장인자(PDGF)가 처리된 세포에서는 세포 이동에 중요한 세 종류의 신호인 포스포이노시티드 3-인산화효소(PI3K), Rac 및 액틴(Actin) 신호가 선두(front)영역에서 후미(rear)영역에 비해 강하게 활성화 하는 데 반해, 마이오신 경쇄(MLC) 신호는 비특이적 경향성을 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 마이크로패턴의 미세환경에서 세포 극성화 신호와 세포 이동과의 상관 관계를 연구하는 데 중요한 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Brain organoids are an exciting new technology with the potential to significantly change our understanding of the development and disorders of the human brain. With step-by-step differentiation protocols, three-dimensional neural tissues are self-organized from pluripotent stem cells, and recapitulate the major millstones of human brain development in vitro. Recent studies have shown that brain organoids can mimic the spatiotemporal dynamicity of neurogenesis, the formation of regional neural circuitry, and the integration of glial cells into a neural network. This suggests that brain organoids could serve as a representative model system to study the human brain. In this review, we will overview the development of brain organoid technology, its current progress and applications, and future prospects of this technology.
