  • The two-photon process of microscopy provides good spatial resolution and optical sectioning ability when observing quasi-static endogenous fluorescent tissue within an in vivo animal model skin. In order to extend the use of such systems, we developed a two-photon laser scanning microscopy system capable of also capturing $512{\times}512$ pixel images at 90 frames per second. This was made possible by incorporating a 72 facet polygon mirror which was mounted on a 55 kRPM motor to enhance the fast-scan axis speed in the horizontal direction. Using the enhanced temporal resolution of our high-speed two-photon laser scanning microscope, we show that rapid processes, such as fluorescently labeled erythrocytes moving in mouse blood flow at up to 1.2 mm/s, can be achieved.

  • Collagen can be used in building artificial skin replacements for treatment of burns and towards the reconstruction of bone as well as researching cell behavior and cellular interaction. The strength of collagen in connective tissue rests on the characteristics of collagen fibers. 3D confocal imaging of collagen fibers enables the characterization of their spatial distribution as related to their function. However, the image stacks acquired with confocal laser-scanning microscope does not clearly show the collagen architecture in 3D. Therefore, we developed a new method to reconstruct, visualize and characterize collagen fibers from fluorescence confocal images. First, we exploit the tensor voting framework to extract sparse reliable information about collagen structure in a 3D image and therefore denoise and filter the acquired image stack. We then propose to segment the collagen fibers by defining an energy term based on the Hessian matrix. This energy term is minimized by a min cut-max flow algorithm that allows adaptive regularization. We demonstrate the efficacy of our methods by visualizing reconstructed collagen from specific 3D image stack.

  • Purpose: DMH(1,2-dimethylhydrazine) has been known to induce vascular neoplasm such as malignant endothelioma in animal experiment, through induction of abnormal proliferation of HUVECs. In our previous studies, 11 types of PKC isoenzymes were determined by RT-PCR and the expression of $PKC{\alpha}$, and ${\mu}$ was more prominent than other PKC isoenzymes in the DMH-treated group. However, this result was not based on objective assessment. In this study, we further evaluated the role of $PKC{\alpha}$ on the DMH-induced abnormal proliferation of HUVECs by two different methods to identify its presence with high relevance in objective view. $PKC{\mu}$ will be investigated in further study. Methods: The study was conducted with the cultured HUVECs group(control) and the $0.75{\times}10^{-9}M$ DMH-treated group. After processing protein extraction in 0 and 24 hour, extracted protein was treated of quantitative test through BCA protein assay. In the western blot analysis, electrophoresis was performed in the order of gel preparation, sample preparation, and gel running. Electrotransfer to nitrocellulose membrane and reaction with antibody were done. Detection of $PKC{\alpha}$ was achieved through "Gel Image Analysis System". In the fluorescence immunocytochemical analysis, the grading of radiance of the intracellular $PKC{\alpha}$ particles was detected with confocal microscope after treating with primary and fluorescent secondary antibody in 0 and 24 hours. Results: The Western blot analysis showed increased $PKC{\alpha}$ expression from the specimen obtained in 24 hour of the DMH treatment group when compared to those in control group. Under confocal fluorescence microscope, the emitting radiance in the DMH treated group was brighter at 24 hours as well. Conclusion: We believe that $PKC{\alpha}$ plays a role in DMH-induced abnormal proliferation of the vascular endothelium, which may provide insights in understanding the vascular neoplasm.

  • 리모트 수소 플라즈마를 이용하여 Si 기판 위의 구리 오염의 제거 효과에 관하여 조사하였다. 최적의 공정 조건을 찾기 위하여 Si 기판을 1ppm ${CuCI}_{2}$ 표준 화학 용액으로 인위적으로 오염시킨 후 rf power와 세정시간, 거리 (수소플라즈마 중심에서 Si 기판표면까지의 거리)등의 공정 변수를 변화시키며 리모트 수소 플라즈마 세정을 실시하였다. 리모트 수소 플라즈마 세정 후 Si 표면의 분석을 위하여 TXRF(total x-ray reflection fluorescence)와 AFM(atomic force microscope)측정을 실시하였다. 리모트 수소 플라즈마 세정이 Cu의 제거에 효과적이며 Si 표면의 거칠기에 나쁜 영향을 주지 않음을 TXRF와 AFM 분석결과로부터 알 수 있었다. Cu 불순물의 흡착 메커니즘은 산화 환원 전위 이론으로 설명될 수 있으며, Cu 불순물의 제거 메커니즘은 XPS(x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)분석결과를 근거로 하여 다음과 같이 설명할 수 있다. :먼저 Cu 이온이 Si 표면에 흡착되어 화학적 산화막을 생성한다. 그 다음, 수소 플라즈마 중의 반응성이 강한 수소이온이 이 산화막을 분해시켜 제거하며 Cu 불순물은 산화막이 제거될 때 함께 제거된다.

  • A new concept of "photo" -antisense method has been evaluated, where the inhibition of gene expression by the conventional antisense method is enhanced by photochemical binding between antisense oligonucleotides conjugated with photo-reactive compound and target mRNA or DNA. Fluorescein labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotides (F-DNA) was delivered to cell nuclei in the encapsulated form in multilamellar lecithin liposomes with neutral charge. F-DNA was previously shown to photo-bind to the complementary stranded DNA, and the delivery system using neutral liposome to be effective in normal human keratinocytes. In the present study, we used human kidney cancer G401.2/6TG.1 cell line to be advantageous in reproducible experiments. p53 was adopted as a target gene since antisense sequence information has been accumulated. The nuclear localization ofF-DNA was identified by comparing the fluorescence ofF-DNA with that of Hoechst 33258 under fluorescence microscope. After 7hr incubation to accumulate p53 protein induced by UV -B, p53 protein was quantified by Western blot. After 2hrs from F-DNA application, about 30% of cell population incorporated F-DNA in their nuclei with some morphological change possibly due to liposomal toxicity. Irradiation of visible light longer than 400nm from solar simulator at this time enhanced the inhibitory action of antisense F-DNA. The present results suggest that photo-antisense method is promising to control gene expression in time and space dependent manner. Further improvement of F-DNA delivery to cancer cells in the stability and toxicity is in progress. progress.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to explore the role of the Twist gene in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of ovarian cancer. Methods: An RNA interference plasmid expressing a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-targeting Twist (Twist siRNA vector) was designed, constructed, and transfected into the human ovarian cancer cell line A2780. Transfection efficiency was assessed under a fluorescence microscope. Changes in the expression of Twist mRNA in A2780 after transfection with the pGenesil Twist shRNA plasmid were analyzed through RT-PCR. MTT assays and adhesion experiments were applied to determine changes in proliferation and adhesion ability of A2870 after transfection with the Twist shRNA plasmid. Changes in the expression of the E-cadherin and N-cadherin proteins in A2780 after transfection with the Twist shRNA plasmid were analyzed using Western blotting. Result: The restructuring plasmid pGenesil-Twist shRNA was constructed successfully. After 48 h of culture, 80% of the cells expressed high-intensity GFP fluorescence and stability. The expression of Twist decreased significantly after the transfection of the Twist shRNA plasmid (P<0.05). Proliferation of the transfected Twist shRNA cells showed no difference with that of the A2780-nontransfection or A2780-si-control groups (P>0.05) but the adhesion ability of A2780 decreased dramatically (P<0.05). Expression of the E-cadherin protein increased, whereas that of the N-cadherin protein decreased compared with that in the A2780-nontransfection or A2780-si-control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Twist is essential for epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion, and metastasis of ovarian cancer.

  • 섬유복합재료의 역학적인 관점에서 볼 때 PVA-ECC (polyvinyl alcohol-engineered cementitious composite)의 섬유분산성 평가는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 PVA 섬유의 낮은 명암비 때문에 시멘트계 재료와 섬유를 구별하기가 어려우므로, PVA-ECC의 섬유분산성 평가를 하기에는 어려운 점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 PVA-ECC 내의 섬유분산성을 평가할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 형광의 원리를 이용하여 섬유복합재료 단면에서 PVA 섬유가 초록빛을 발하는 이미지를 얻었고, PVA-ECC 시편에 대한 섬유분산성은 형광 현미경에 부착된 CCD (charge coupled device) 카메라를 통하여 얻어진 이미지를 이미지 프로세싱 기법과 통계적인 방법을 이용하여 평가하였다. 또한 형상분석을 통하여 섬유의 방향성이 분산성에 미치는 영향을 파악하였으며, 판별함수기법과 분수령 알고리즘을 이용하여 섬유 검출 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다.
