  • 유선에 존재하는 유선 상피 모세포(mammary epithelial stem cells)의 존재 증거, 정상 조직에서 이들의역할, flow cytometry 및 면역 염색법에 의한 세포 분리, 세포 기질 단백질을 이용한 삼차원적 세포 배양에서의 증식 등을 요약한다. 유선의 실질 조직에 상피 모세포가 존재한다는 것은 여러 형태의 이식 실험에서 설명되었고 또 모세포의 표현형적 특징들은 여러 가지의 monoclonal antibodies에 의해 논증되었다. 이들 연구의 결과들은 유선의 모세포군이 end bud와 유선의 기저층(basal layer)에 존재한다고 제시하고 있다. 이들을 분리, 동정하기 위해 FITC-PNA와 PE-Thy-1.1 항체와 같은 세포 표지자를 이용하여 유선 상피 세포를 4군으로 나눌 수 있었다. FITC-PNA에만 양성 반응을 보인 PNA+ 세포군, PE-Thy-1.1에만 양성 반응을 보인 Thy-1.1+ 세포군, 이들 두 표지자에 양성 반응을 보인 B+ 세포군, 그리고 양쪽에 음성 반응을 보인 B- 세포군이었는데 이들을 flow cytometry로 분리하고 생체에 이식 실험을 하였을 때 PNA+ 세포군이 유선 모세포들을 가장 많이 가진 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 유선 상피세포로 이루어진 유선 조직 절편(organoids) 이들 상피세포군을 세포외기질 단백질체인 Matrigel 내에서 배양한 결과 a) stellate, b) duct, c) web, d)squamous, e) lobuloduct 등 5종류의 다세포 구조물이 생성됨을 확인하였다. 이들 중 편평상피화생의 구조물은 정상적인 유선 조직에서는 나타나지 않는 구조물인데 all-trans retinoic acid를 처리하였을 때 배지의 조정에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 대부분 이들 편평상피화생의 생성이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에 이용된 생체 이식법 및 삼차원적 세포외기질 세포 배양법이 상피세포의 성장, 분화 및 모세포 연구에 유용하게 이용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

  • 코로나19 팬데믹이라는 위기 상황과 4차 산업혁명시대를 경험하게 되면서 고고유산 교육 역시 새로운 국면을 맞이하게 되었다. '비대면', '비접촉'이 일상이 된 현 상황과 각종 디지털기술이 발달하고 있는 시대를 맞이함에 따라 직접 경험하고, 조작적 체험이 주를 이루는 고고유산 교육은 여러모로 많은 변화가 발생하였다. 이 글은 포스트코로나 시대의 트렌드에 부응하는 한편, 4차 산업혁명시대에 필요한 고고유산 교육의 발전 방안과 지속가능한 전략을 모색해 본 것이다. 고고유산 교육은 4차 산업혁명시대에 필요한 역량은 물론 개인들의 정서적 만족감과 행복감을 고취시키는데 매우 적합한 교육 형태이다. 그중에서도 현 시대의 맥락을 반영한 창의적 인재양성 및 문제해결력, 자기효능감을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육의 형태로 고고유산 메이커교육이 주목된다. 이러한 메이커교육은 구성주의를 기반한 교육으로 진행될 필요가 있고, 다양한 연령별 특징을 고려하여 구체적인 학습목표 및 효과를 설정하여 설계되어야 한다. 또한 고고유산 역시 VR, AR, 클라우드, 드론 영상 기술을 적용한 다양한 ICT 활용 콘텐츠들이 개발 및 확대되고 있다. 그중에서도 온택트로 진행되는 고고유산 디지털 교육은 비대면이라는 상황 속에서도 쌍방향 소통이 가능한 커뮤니티 활성화 방안을 모색해야 한다. 아울러 온택트 교육은 교육이라는 측면을 고려해야 하므로 문화적 문해를 성장시키기 위한 목적이 추가적으로 설정되어야 한다. 이러한 고고유산 콘텐츠 개발은 온택트 교육에 최적화된 학술성을 담지한 스토리자원이 확보되어야 하는데, '문화콜라주'의 입장에서 다양한 융합적 콘텐츠를 제작하는 동시에 학습자의 흥미와 학습 능력, 학습 목적을 고려한 AI기능이 추가될 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 또한 온라인으로 진행되는 고고유산 콘텐츠 교육은 추후 실물을 접할 수 있는 동기부여나 현장학습을 고려한 선행학습, 보완학습으로 진행되어야 한다. 결국 고고유산 온택트 교육은 현재의 트렌드에 부응하는 최첨단 기술을 활용하여 진행되겠지만, 그와 연동하여 발견의 학습, 질문-탐구형 학습 모두가 가능한 구성주의학습을 위한 지속적인 노력이 필요하다.

  • This case focuses on Shanghai Tang, the first truly Chinese luxury brand that appeals to both Westerners and, more recently, to Chinese consumers worldwide. A visionary and wealthy businessman Sir David Tang created this company from scratch in 1994 in Hong Kong. Its story, spanned over almost two decades, has been fascinating. It went from what best a Chinese brand could be in the eyes of Westerners who love the Chinese culture, to a nearly-bankrupted company in 1998, before being acquired by Richemont, the second largest luxury group in the world. Since then, its turnaround has been spectacular with a growing appeal among Chinese luxury consumers who represent the core segment of the luxury industry today. The main objective of this case study is to formally examine how Shanghai Tang overcame its downfall and re-emerged as one the very few well- known Chinese luxury brands. More specifically, this case highlights the ways with which Shanghai Tang made a transitional change from a brand for Westerners who love the Chinese culture, to a brand for both, Westerners who love the Chinese culture and Chinese who love luxury. A close examination reveals that Shanghai Tang has followed the brand identity concept that consists of two major components: functional and emotional. The functional component for developing a luxury brand concerns all product characteristics that will make a product 'luxurious' in the eyes of the consumer, such as premium quality of cachemire from Mongolia, Chinese silk, lacquer, finest leather, porcelain, and jade in the case of Shanghai Tang. The emotional component consists of non-functional symbolic meanings of a brand. The symbolic meaning marks the major difference between a premium and a luxury brand. In the case of Shanghai Tang, its symbolic meaning refers to the Chinese culture and the brand aims to represent the best of Chinese traditions and establish itself as "the ambassador of modern Chinese style". It touches the Chinese heritage and emotions. Shanghai Tang has reinvented the modern Chinese chic by drawing back to the stylish decadence of Shanghai in the 1930s, which was then called the "Paris of the East", and this is where the brand finds inspiration to create its own myth. Once the functional and emotional components assured, Shanghai Tang has gone through a four-stage development to become the first global Chinese luxury brand: introduction, deepening, expansion, and revitalization. Introduction: David Tang discovered a market gap and had a vision to launch the first Chinese luxury brand to the world. The key success drivers for the introduction and management of a Chinese luxury brand are a solid brand identity and, above all, a creative mind, an inspired person. This was David Tang then, and this is now Raphael Le Masne de Chermont, the current Executive Chairman. Shanghai Tang combines Chinese and Western elements, which it finds to be the most sustainable platform for drawing consumers. Deepening: A major objective of the next phase is to become recognized as a luxury brand and a fashion or design authority. For this purpose, Shanghai Tang has cooperated with other well-regarded luxury and lifestyle brands such as Puma and Swarovski. It also expanded its product lines from high-end custom-made garments to music CDs and restaurant. Expansion: After the opening of his first store in Hong Kong in 1994, David Tang went on to open his second store in New York City three years later. However this New York retail operation was a financial disaster. Barely nineteen months after the opening, the store was shut down and quietly relocated to a cheaper location of Madison Avenue. Despite this failure, Shanghai Tang products found numerous followers especially among Western tourists and became "souvenir-like" must-haves. However, despite its strong brand DNA, the brand did not generate enough repeated sales and over the years the company cumulated heavy debts and became unprofitable. Revitalizing: After its purchase by Richemont in 1998, Le Masne de Chermont was appointed to lead the company, reposition the brand and undertake some major strategic changes such as revising the "Shanghai Tang" designs to appeal not only to Westerners but also to Chinese consumers, and to open new stores around the world. Since then, Shanghai Tang has become synonymous to a modern Chinese luxury lifestyle brand.

  • 한국 계란 산업은 점차 증가하고 있지만, 해외의존도가 높은 산란계 종자는 조류 인플루엔자와 같은 이유로 위기를 직면한 바가 있다. 이와 같은 상황에 대응하기 위해서 한국은 Golden Seed Project와 같은 토종닭 개발 사업에 노력을 가하고 있다. 토종닭은 영양 및 풍미 측면에서 우수하나, 산란용 토종닭에 대한 개발은 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구는 잡종교배를 통하여 산란용 토종닭 종자 라인을 생성하여 일반 실용계의 육성기 동안 체중과 생존율을 비교분석하며, 개발의 진행도와 우수한 교배조합을 선정을 통해 산란용 토종닭 종자 라인 구축에 기여하고자 한다. 본 연구는 Hong et al.(2023)의 부화 후부터 40주까지 잡종교배 토종닭의 체중과 산란능력에 대한 평가 연구의 후속연구로 진행되었다. 앞선 연구를 바탕으로 선정한 4개의 종계라인(CF, CK, YC, YD)을 바탕으로 생성한 12개의 토종닭 교배조합(i.e., CFCK, CFYC, CFYD, CKCF, CKYC, CKYC, CKYD, YCYD, YCYD, YCCF, YCCK, YDCF, YDCK, and YDYC)과 실용 산란계(Hy-Line Brown)를 총 873마리를 공시동물로 설정하였다. 실험기간은 부화 후부터 16주까지 격주로 체중과 생존력을 분석하였다. CKCF, YCYD, YDYC는 실험 개시일부터 마지막까지 Hy-Line Brown과 가장 유사한 체중을 보였고, 그 외의 교배조합 종은 Hy-Line Brown에 비하여 유의적으로 낮은 체중을 보였다. 또한 부화 후부터 14주차까지의 전체 처리구들의 생존력은 55%~100%, 14~16주차는 80%~100%로 나타났다. 토종닭 교배조합 가운데 CKCF, CFCK, CFYC, CFYD 그리고 YDYC는 Hy-Line Brown과비교하여 우수한 생존력을 기록했고, 나타난 교배조합 대부분이 CF를 포함하고 있다는 특징을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 CKCF와 YDYC가 산란용 토종닭 교배조합의 육성기 체중 및 생존력에서 가장 우수한 성적을 나타내었다. 향후 산란기 연구에서는 CKCF를 포함하여 함께 우수한 성적을 나타낸 CFCK, YCYD, YDYC의 산란성적을 관찰하여 산란용 토종닭의 산업화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Out of a total of 58 species of helminthic and protozoan parasitic infections in Korea, so far 38 species were reported as intestinal parasites of man. Quite a few species of the intestinal parasitic infections have long been prevalent throughout the country and this has been a significant public health problem. In this paper, current status and transition of the intestinal parasitic infections in the past years were presented. Chronological reviewing of data show background and prospects of change in the prevalence of infections. In the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections conducted once every five years since 1971, stool examinations were done by both cellophane thick smear and brine flotation techniques. Every egg positive case of Ascaris lumbricoides and Clonorchis sinensis was further examined by Stoll's dilution egg counting technique. In 1981, perianal swab using adhesive cellulose tape was added for Enterobius infection. For protozoan cyst examination conducted by province and city in '81, fecal specimens were fixed in SAF solution and examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. High prevalence of parasitic infection in ana before the 1960s can be easily understood from the data given by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1967. From a parasite control point of view, the 1960s was the preparatory period particularly for control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Several organizations which have contributed to parasite control were founded in this period and the prevention law of parasitic infections was passed in '66. In the '70s, overall prevalence rates of the common intestinal parasitic infections, which were highly prevalent in the past were turned into reduction phase for the first time. The '80s can be said to be an active control period of parasitic infections. Intestinal helminths According to the reports of the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections, the prevalence of helminthic infections was 84.3%(number of person examined:24,887) in '71, 63.2%(27,178) in '76, and 41.1%(35,018) in '81. By area, the prevalence rate in '81 was 35.1%(20,569) in urban areas and 49.6%(14,447) in rural areas. Intestinal nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides The prevalence of Ascaris infection has decreased significantly in recent years. Among students, the prevalence was 55.4%, in '69 and decreased to 4.7% in '83. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence decreased to 13.0% in '81 from 54.9% in '71. By area, the prevalence decreased to 8.5% in '81 from 46.4% in '71 in urban area and 19.4% in '81 from 59.6% in '71 in rural area. By age, the prevalence has become in recent years relatively even in all age groups, although higher prevalence used to be seen in young age groups of around 10 years old, particulary in the highly prevalent rural areas. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Unfertilized egg positive rates among the ascariasis cases increased gradually up to 55.4% on the average in '81. The intensity of the infection was also significantly decreased. Trichuris trichiura Trichuris infection had also decreased to 23.4% in '81 from 65.4% in '71. By area, the decreasing tendency of the prevalence became faster in urban areas than in the rural areas. The prevalence in urban and rural areas in '71 was 69.7%, and 63.1% respectively and decreased to 19.5% and 29.0% respectively in '81. By age, the prevalence reached a peak at the 10-14 age group and showed relatively even distribution throughout all age groups. By sex, the prevalence was close in young age groups, but in the 30s or over age group, especially in rural area, the prevalence was significantly higher in the female than in the male. The prevalence has much fluctuated depending in the area. The prevalence in rural areas surveyed in the '80s shows a range between 20.9% and 73.7% by locality. It is anticipated that the prevalence of Trichuris infection will drop more rapidly, when mass treatment is conducted. Hookworms Hookworm infection by mostly Ancylostoma duodenale and a few by Necator americanus has decreased to a negligible levels in recent years. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 10.7% in '71, 2.2% in '76, and 0.5% in '81. The prevalence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Wide application of multi-specific anthelminthics in the ascariasis control programmes conducted in the past decade appear to have been effective against hookworm infection. Trichostrongylus orientalis As in the case with hookworm infection, the prevalence of Trichostrongylus infection has reached a negligible levels. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 7.7% in '71, 1.0% in '76 and 0.2% in '81. Enterobius vermicularis In the national prevalence survey in '81, the egg positive rate was 12.0%. Higher prevalence is expected when examined repeatedly. The prevalence rate was 10.3% in urban area and 14.6% in rural area. In recent surveys conducted in rural areas among schoolchildren, the prevalence was 32.4% in Gimhae Gun in '82 and 64.1% in Yeongyang Gun in '83. By age, the egg positive rate was higher in young age groups of around 10 and sharply decreased in age groups of around 20 and then somewhat increased again in middle age groups. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Strongyloides stercoralis Strongyloides stercoralis infection has rarely been found in Korea. Three cases were reported in 1914. And 0.1-0.5% were found infected out of 2,642 persons examined at the prisoner-of-war camp on Geojedo in 1956. One case was reported in '54 and '82, respectively. Anisakis spp. No systematic survey has been conducted for anisakiasis In Korea. So far, only several cases have been found 1 case in Seoul in '71, 5 cases in Busan in '81 and 1 case in Busan in '84. Intestinal trematodes Metagonimus yokogawai In the national prevalence survey conducted in 1981, the egg positive rate was 1.24% on the average. High endemic areas are located in the southwestern part of Korea. The prevalence in Hadong Gun was 29.1% on the average in '79. In a survey conducted in 76, the prevalence was 44.0% in Gwangyang, 55.0% in Gogseung and 29.0% in Gurye. The infection is closely correlated with raw sweetfish consumption in these areas. Other intestinal trematodes A human case of Heterophyes heterophyes was reported in 1914. Several species were reported in the '80s : 17 cases of Fibricola seoulensis, 9 cases of Pygidiopsis summa, 8 cases of Heterophyes heterophyes nocens, 1case of Heterophyopsis continua, 2 cases of Stellantchasmus falcatus, 1 case of Stictodora sp., 1 case of Echinostoma hortense, and 4 cases of Echinochasmus japonicus. As the intermediate hosts, snakes and frogs play a role for F.seoulensis and fish for the rest of the species. Intestinal cestodes Taenia saginata and T. solium Egg positive rates in the national prevalence survey were 0.7% in '76 and 1.1% in '81. The prevalence in '81 was 0.6% in urban area and 1.8% in rural area. The proglottid positive rate in Jeju Do was 19.2% on the average. On Udo, Jeju Do in 1983, the egg positive rate among the inhabitants was 2.9%. Hymenolepis nana In the national prevalence survey, egg positive rates were 0.6% in '76 and 0.4% in '81. No difference was seen in the prevalence by area and sex. Hymenolepis diminuta Infected cases were reported : 3 in '64 and I in '66. Egg positive rate in '81 was 0.01% in the national prevalence survey. Diphylobothrium latum So far, about 30 cases have been reported. The cases have been reported more frequently in recent surveys. Mesocestoides sp. A case was reported from a hospitalized patient in Seoul in '67. Spirometra erinacei Two cases were reported in '84 following reidentification of the adult worms collected in '74. Intestinal protozoa Out of a total of 23 species of human protozoan infections in Korea, 13 species were reported as intestinal protozoa : Entamoeba histolytica, E coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba b$\ddot{u}$tschlii, Dientamoeba fragilis, Giardia lamblia, Chilomastix mesnilii, Embadomonas sp., Enteromonas hominis, Trichomonas hominis, Isospora belli, I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis), and Balantidium coli. Since the first report on intestinal protozoan infections in 1925, there have been quite a few survey data on the prevalence of the infection. It was found reviewing the data chronologically that up to the early '70s the infection was prevalent around a 30-50%. After that, the protozoan cyst positive rate has shown the tendency of gradual decrease throughout the country. Protozoan cyst survey conducted in Seoul and several provinces in 1981 revealed infection rates of 8.9%(1,310) in Gangweondo, 10.7%(1,703) in Gyenggi Do, 11.7%(1,032) in Jeonra Buk Do, 9.1%(4,116) in Jeonra Nam Do, and 1.4%(5,275) in Seoul. Entamoeba histolytica In the survey conducted by province in '81, the cyst positive rate was 0.8% in Gangweon-do, 0.3% in Gyeonggi Do, 1.4% in both Jeonra Buk Do and Jeonra Nam Do, and 0.2% in Seoul. Giardia lamblia In the survey by province in '81, cyst positive rates were 2.2% in both Gyeonggi Do and Jeonra Buk Do, 1.9% in Jeonra Nam Do, 0.5% in Gangweon Do, and 0.9% in Seoul. Balantidium coli Two cases were reported. One in 1930 and the other in '74. Isospora belli and I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis) Isospora belli was reported : 1 case in '56 and 3 cases in '66. I. Hominis, recently identified to be synonymous with Sarcocystis hominis, was reported : 3 cases in '66. Other intestinal protozoa The protozoan parasites other than the above mentioned are generally treated as commensal, although some of them are considered to be pathogenic. The data of '81 show that about 10% of the inhabitants are still infected with protozoa.

  • 본 실험은 일정한 발달단계(發達段階)에 있는 생쥐배(胚)를 응집시킬때 세포응집소인 Phytohemagglutinin-P(PHA-P)를 첨가 라화배(裸化胚)의 응집율과 응집된 배(胚)를 in vitro에서 배양하였을때의 배양율 및 적당한 PHA-P의 첨가농도를 조사하여 Chimera배(胚)를 생산하는데 필요한 기초지식을 얻기 위하여 실시(實施)하였다. Albino BALB/C와 CBA계통 및 C57BL 계통의 생쥐에 pregnant mare Serum gonadotropin와 human chorionic gonadotropin를 투여하여 과배란 생쥐에 PMSG와 hCG를 투여하여 과배란을 유기, 회수된 생쥐의 4세포기, 8세포기 및 상실배기 수정란을 1.0% Protease 용액으로 투명대를 제거(除去)하고 PHA-P를 첨가한 배양액에서 미세한 초자봉(硝子棒)으로 계통(系統)이 다른 두 계통(系統)의 생쥐의 배(胚)를 응집시킨 다음 응집된 배를 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$, 95% Air의 배양기 조건하에서 13~50 시간 배양하면서 Chimera배(胚)의 발달상태를 조사하였다. 본(本) 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 1.0% Protease 또는 1.0% Protease 및 $5ug/m{\ell}$ PHA-P가 첨가된 산성 Tyrode액에서 투명대를 제거한 라화배(裸化胚)를 배반포까지 배양했을때 유의차는 없었으나 4세포기배와 8세포기배 보다 상실기배가 더 잘 발달되었으며 또한 PHA-P를 첨가하였을때가 첨가하지 아니한 때 보다 다소 좋은 경향을 보였다. 2. PHA-P $2ug/m{\ell}$첨가시 4세포기, 8세포기 및 상실기배의 응집율은40.0~82.0%, $5ug/m{\ell}$첨가시에는 52.0~94.0%, $10ug/m{\ell}$ 첨가시에는 48.0~96.0%로 배(胚)의 발달단계(發達段階)에 따라서는 4세포기, 8세포기가 상실배기 보다 유의적으로 높았다 (P<.05). PHA-P의 처리수준에 의한 응집율에 있어서는 5 또는 $10ug/m{\ell}$첨가구가 $2ug/m{\ell}$첨가구 보다 조금 높게 나타났으나 유의차는 없었다. 3. 응집배의 상실배까지의 배양율은 PHA-P의 각(各) 수준간 및 각(各) 세포기간에 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 응집배의 배반포까지의 배양율은 PHA-P 수준사이에는 유의차가 없었으나 4세포기와 8세포기의 배(胚)는 상실기 배(胚)보다 유의적으로 높은 배양율을 보였다 (P<.05). 4. 응집된 배(胚)가 배반포까지 발달하는데 소요되는 평균시간은 4세포기배가 38.5~40시간, 8세포기배가 26~27시간, 상실기배가 19~20시간이었다. 5. 응집율은 34.0~94.0%의 범위로서 PHA-P를 첨가할때 응집율이 더 좋은 경향을 보였으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 4세포기와 8세포기의 배(胚)가 상실기배 보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<.05). 6. 응집배의 상실배까지의 발달율은 4세포기배가 52.7~84.7%, 8세포기배가 73.8~872% 였으며 세포기 사이에는 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 PHA-P를 첨가한 것이 발달이 더 좋았다. 7. 응집배의 배반포까지의 발달율은 4세포기의 배(胚)가 41.7~77.7%, 8세포기의 배(胚)는 78.7~83.0% 상실기배가 0~19.2%였으며 4세포기의 PHA-P 처리가 미처리(未處理) 보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<.05). PHA-P를 처리했을 때 4세포기와 8세포기가 상실기의 배(胚) 보다 더 높은 발달율을 보였다.
