(100) ZnSe crystals with twin and grain free were grown by vapor transport method. The defect in (100) ZnSe crystals was investigated by FWHM of X-ray Rocking Curve. The growth rate and seed quality are the main parameters of the growth process to obtain the high quality ZnSe crystals. The geometric shape of the grown (100) ZnSe crystal is dependent on the shape of seed, isothermal line in furnace and the growth rate of each surface in crystal.

A feeding trial was conducted on pigs to study the effect of La on their growth performance. Sixty barrows were randomly assigned to two groups (each of which included three replicates) and they were fed same basal diet supplemented with 0 or 100 mg/kg lanthanum (La) respectively for 30 d. Blood samples were collected and analyzed to study the growth hormone secretion pattern. La residues in selected organs were analyzed to test the safety level. The results showed that average daily gain and feed conversion ratio of pigs were increased by 12.95% (p<0.05) and 6.78% (p<0.05) respectively with the supplementation of La. Blood samples analysis showed that peak amplitude, base-line level and mean level of growth hormone in serum were elevated by 80.42% (p<0.05), 70.99% (p<0.05) and 64.91% (p<0.05) respectively. No significant difference of La residues was found in selected organs between the control and La-treated group.

Herbicide tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Ilpumbyeo) cell lines were selected from $\gamma$-ray-irradiated anther-derived cell cultures. The anther-derived cell clusters were small (300 to 400 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter) and uniform ones that were screened by miracloth filtering. The cell suspensions were very efficient to plate one layer onto agar medium and to screen target cell lines. Herbicide tolerant cell lines were selected by 5 mg/L cyhalofop butyl (CHB) treatment by using the small cell suspensions on agar N6 medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.2 mg/L kinetin. Of the cell lines, one line (CHB-1) showed stable tolerance at 10 mg/L concentration after 6-month culture without herbicide suspension. Growth stability of CHB-1 was similar to that of control cell line on 10 mg/L CHB containing medium. In this experiment we established herbicide tolerant cell line selection system by using anther-derived uniform-cell suspensions with $\gamma$-ray-irradiation.

Seeds of neem were collected from different parts of India and analyzed for their azadirachtin content by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In order to assess the effects of genotypic and geographical variation on azadirachtin content in cell cultures, callus development was attempted in the seeds containing high and low concentration of azadirachtin. The concentration of azadirachtin in callus cultures was significantly affected by the explant source. Seed kernels with higher azadirachtin content produced higher azadirachtin content in callus cultures and lower azadirachtin content was seen in callus cultures produced from seed kernels with low azadirachtin content. The protocol for development of elite stock culture of Azadirachta indica was established with the objective of selecting a high azadirachtin-producing cell line. The highest azadirachtin-producing cell line was selected and the effects of different media and illumination conditions on growth and azadirachtin production were studied in shake flask suspension culture. Detailed batch growth kinetics was also established. These studies provided elite starter culture and associated protocols for cultivation of A. indica plant cell culture in the bioreactor.

The proton NMR line widths and spin-lattice relaxation rates, $T_1^{-1}$, of ferroelectric $LiH_3(SeO_3)_2$, $Li_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O$, and $LiN_2H_5SO_4$ single crystals were measured as a function of temperature. The line width measurements reveal rigid lattice behavior of all the crystals at low temperatures and line narrowing due to molecular motion at higher temperatures. The temperature dependences of the proton $T_1^{-1}$ for these crystals exhibit maxima, which are attributed to the effects of molecular motion by the Bloembergen - Purcell - Pound theory. The activation energies for the molecular motions of $^1H$ in these crystals were obtained. From these analysis, $^1H$ in $LiH_3(SeO_3)_2$ undergoes molecular motion more easily than $^1H$ in $LiN_2H_5SO_4$ and $Li_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ crystals.

To explore a possible new treatment for human ovarian cancer, we studied the effects of sodium valproate on the growth of the HO8910 human cell line. HO8910 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of sodium valproate. Cell proliferation, cell cycling, and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry, cell morphology under a microscope, and expression levels of WWOX and P27 by Western blotting and RT-PCR. Tumor xenografts were established to determine in vivo effects of sodium valproate. Our results showed that cell proliferation was decreased with increasing concentration of sodium valproate, with features of cytoplasmic retraction and floating cells. Moreover, cell cycle analysis revealed a higher apoptosis rate and $G_0/G_1$ phase in the sodium valproate experimental group than in the control group. In addition, protein expression levels of WWOX and P27 were elevated. Importantly, sodium valproate decreased in vivo xenograft tumor burden and up-regulated WWOX and P27 expression in nude mice. In conclusion, sodium valproate might play a role in inhibition and control of ovarian cancer cell line HO8910 by inhibiting cell proliferation, interfering with the cell cycle and promoting apoptosis, so that it may be effective in the clinical treatment of ovarian cancer.

Objective: To investigate possible signal pathway involvement in multi-drug resistant P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression induced by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line stimulated with pacliaxel (TAX). Methods: The effects of TAX on SGC7901 cell growth with different doses was assessed by MTT assay, along with the effects of the COX-2 selective inhibitor NS-398 and the nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) pathway inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC). Influence on COX-2, NF-KB p65 and P-gp expression was determined by Western blotting. Results: TAX, NS-398 and PDTC all reduced SGC7901 growth, with dosedependence. With increasing dose of TAX, the expression of COX-2, p65 and P-gp showed rising trends, this being reversed by NS-398. PDTC also caused decrease in expression of p65 and P-gp over time. Conclusion: COX-2 may induce the expression of P-gp in SGC7901 cell line via the NF-kappa B pathway with pacliaxel stimulation.

A laboratory jar fermenter was modified to measure the duration for cooling water supply and the temperatures of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of water jacket. Successful operation of temperature control and on-line measurement was achieved by adjusting optimum parameters of the Proportion-Integral-Derivative temperature controller. The variables measured on-line were used to estimate cooling rates from empirical equations comprised of the time period of cooling water supply and the temperatures of coolant. The measured cooling rate showed a good correlation to the specific growth rate during batch cultivation of E. coli. Cooling rate was measured and applied to programmed cell growth in a fed-batch cultivations. Three fed-batch cultivations were demonstrated by feeding substrate to follow the programmed cooling rates increasing exponentially.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate growth rate among 15 embryogenic tissue lines (ETLs), comparison of maturation on somatic embryos (SEs) with 13 ETLs and efficiency with various concentrations of gelrite on SEs germination in Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora). In comparison of ETLs growth rate (folds) with 15 lines, the 05-4 line (5.3 folds) showed the highest rate, on the other hand, the lowest one was recorded in the line of 05-37 (1.4 folds). The 13 ETLs were tested for the extent of SEs production. The best production was recorded in the line of 05-4 (39.8/90 mg F.W.). However, most of ETLs, except 5 lines (05-4, 12, 21, 29 and 37), did not produce SEs at all, therefore, big differences in the ability of SEs production existed among the ETLs tested. Effects of various gelrite concentrations for SEs germination with 3 ETLs were also compared. The highest result was obtained from 0.2% gelrite concentration with 05-4 line (47.3%), there was a inclination that the rate of germination was gradually declined over 0.2% gelrite concentration with the 05-4 and 29 lines. respectively. In contrast, in the line of 05-37, no SEs germination occurred on medium with 0.1 or 0.2% gelrite. In conclusion, the growth rate, SEs production and germination frequency were appeared to deeply depended on the ETLs.

Polycrystalline diamond films are deposited by cyclic method. modulating the $H_2$ Plasma and $CH_4+H_2$ plasma during the growth step. Diamond quality is evaluated by FWHM and $I_D/I_G$ ratio obtained from Raman spectroscopic analysis. Structural defects and impurities generated during the growth step are characterized by cathodoluminescence, and the variations between band-A(430 nm) line and nitrogen-related(578 nm) line are investigated as a function of $T_E/T_G$. Furthermore, the correlations between preferential orientation. film morphologies and CL characteristics are also investigated.
