Rat liver LDH A-cDNA has been isolated from a .lambda.gt11-rat lover cDNA library and partially characterized. The size of the isolated rat liver LDH A-cDNA if shown to be 1.6Kb and restriction enzyme sites for the rat liver LDH A-cDNA are also mapped. 682-nucleotide sequence coding for 3'-end of rat liver LDH A-cDNA has been analyzed and compared to the nucleotide sequence of the same region of rat $C_6$-glioma cell LDH A-cDNA which has been cloned from the hormonally stimulated cell cultures. The result shows that 177 nucleotide sequences coding for the C-terminal 59-amino acids are identical but 505 nucleotide sequences of 3'-nontranslated region of the two LSH A-cDNA exhibit characteristic differences in thier nucleotide sequences. Computer analysis for the folding structures for 3'-end 400 nucleotide sequences of the two LDH A-cDNA shows a possibility implying that the two LDH A-mRNAs isolated from different tissues of rats may have different half life and therefore their translational efficiency may be different. It has been previously demonstrated that isoproterenol stimulated rat $C_6$ -glioma cell cultures produce LDH A-mRNA showing 2 to 3-fold longer half life in comparison to that of noninduced LHD A-mRNA. The result therefore support for the idea that hormonally stimulated rat $C_6$-glioma cells may produce LDH A-mRNA containing different nucleotide sequences at the 3'-end nontranslated region by which the hormonally induced LDH A-mRNA could have more stable secondary mRAN structure in comparison to that of noninduced LDH A-mRNA.

Interleukin (IL)-15 is an essential immune-modulator with high potential for use in cancer treatment. Natural IL-15 has a low biological potency because of its short half-life and difficulties in mass-production. IL-15Rα, a member of the IL-15 receptor complex, is famous for its high affinity to IL-15 and its ability to lengthen the half-life of IL-15. We have double-transfected IL-15 and its truncated receptor IL-15Rα into CT26 colon cancer cells to target them for intracellular assembly. The secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα complexes were confirmed in ELISA and Co-IP experiments. IL-15:IL-15Rα secreting clones showed a higher anti-tumor effect than IL-15 secreting clones. Furthermore, we also evaluated the vaccine and therapeutic efficacy of the whole cancer-cell vaccine using mitomycin C (MMC)-treated IL-15:IL-15Rα secreting CT26 clones. Three sets of experiments were evaluated; (1) therapeutics, (2) vaccination, and (3) long-term protection. Wild-type CT26-bearing mice treated with a single dose of MMC-inactivated secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα clones prolonged survival compared to the control group. Survival of MMC-inactivated IL-15:IL-15Rα clone-vaccinated mice (without any further adjuvant) exceeded up to 100%. This protection effect even lasted for at least three months after the immunization. Secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα clones challenging trigger anti-tumor response via CD4⁺ T, CD8⁺ T, and natural killer (NK) cell-dependent cytotoxicity. Our result suggested that cell-based vaccine secreting IL-15:IL-15Rα, may offer the new tools for immunotherapy to treat cancer.

In this research, we investigate electrical performance and electrochemical properties of graphene supported Pt (Pt/G) and PtM (M = Ni and Y) alloy catalysts (PtM/Gs) that are synthesized by modified polyol method. With the PtM/Gs that are adopted for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), their catalytic activity and ORR performance and electrical performance are estimated and compared with one another. Their particle size, particle distribution and electrochemically active surface (EAS) area are measured by TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV), respectively. On the other hand, regarding ORR activity and electrical performance of the catalysts, (i) linear sweeping voltammetry by rotating disk electrode and rotating ring-disk electrode and (ii) PEMFC single cell tests are used. The TEM and CV measurements demonstrate particle size and EAS of PtM/Gs are compatible with those of Pt/G. In case of PtNi/G, its half-wave potential, kinetic current density, transferred electron number per oxygen molecule and $H_2O_2$ production % are excellent. Based on data obtained by half-cell test, when PEMFC singlecell tests are carried out, current density measured at 0.6V and maximum power density of the PEMFC single cell employing PtNi/G are better than those employing Pt/G. Conclusively, PtNi/Gs synthesized by modified polyol shows better ORR catalytic activity and PEMFC performance than other catalysts.

동종동맥판은 심장판막질환, 선천성 심기형 및 대동맥 질환의 치료에 있어서 우수한 판막도관으로 사용 되고 있다. 이 때 동종동맥 판의 장기성적을 좌우하는데 있어서 혈관내피세포의 생육성이 중요한 역활을 할 것이다. 혈관내피세포의 생육성을 평가하기 위하여 현재 임상에서 사용되는 보존방법으로 보존처리된 성돈의 대동맥판 및 대동맥 벽을 collagenase로 분해시켜서 순수한 내퍼세포군을 획득한 뒤, 혈관내피세포에 특이한 친화성을 갖는 GSA-FTTC(Criffonia simplicifolia agglutininfluorescein isothiocyanate)와 반응시켰다. 이 내피세포군을 세척한 다음, 살아있는 세포에는 침착되지 않는 Pl(Ropidium iodide)와 반응시켰다. 이렇게 처리된 내피세포군을 Row Cytometry 로 분석하여 GSA-FTIC(+), Pl(-) 인 세포를 생육성을 유지한 것으로 평가하였다. 동종동맥판은 $4^{\circ}C의$ 멸균용액에 24시간 담궈 멸균처리를 한 후, 2개군으로 나누어 (1군)은 $4^{\circ}C$ RPM 1640 with HEPES buffer cultlue medium with 10% fetal bovine uTm 용액에 1~14일간 보존하였고 (2군)은 냉동보존을 하였다. 조직의 획득과정과 멸균과정에서 각각 22.8%와 24.4%의 생육성이 소\ulcorner되었다. (1군) 에서는 14일의 보존기간 동안 11.9%의 생육성감소가 일어났고 (2군) 에서는 13.7%의 생육성감소가 일어났다. 이 실험의 결과로 동종동맥 판의 보존처리과정 초기에 대부분의 생육성소실이 일어나며, 14일간의 냉장보존이나 냉동보존 후에도 약 40%의 생육성이 보존됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 혈관내피세포가 판막에서 얻어진 경우나 동맥벽에서 얻어진 경우에서 생육성의 차이는 없었다.

Statement of problem. Confusion about the relationship of surface characteristics of implant to osteoblast cell attachment. Purpose. This study attempted to bone cell attachment to the implant surface which was modified by heat. Material and methods. Commercially pure titanium grade 2, $4{\times}4mm$ sheet 40 pieces were treated for 10 minutes with ultrasonic cleaner with methylethyl ketone, ethanol, deionized distilled water, and half of the specimen 20 pieces were heat treated in $980^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. All 40 specimens were autoclaves. Total 6 dishes were prepared, 3 dishes were for control group, and the other 3 dishes were for heat treatment. In fourth day, cell account was done. Conculsion. The change of surface characterization by heat treatment could affect the cell attachment in the early stage however, the change of surface characterization would not be prolonged.

A simplified resistor network model for electrical and mass transport in anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was constructed in order to investigate the effect of interconnect rib geometry on the cell performance. For accurate potential calculation, activation and concentration over-potentials at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces were fully considered in this calculation. When contact resistance was not considered, the optimum interconnect rib length were calculated to be $0.1{\sim}0.2$ mm for 2 mm half unit cell for given operation conditions and properties. However, with realistic contact resistance, the interconnect rib length should be increased to provide larger contact area and thus to obtain better performance.

본 논문에서는 Crawford TEM cell들의 고조 모드 차단 주파수에 대한 해석 결과를 나타내었다. 1/2 모드 경계영역을 제시하고, 변수 분리에 기초한 Galerkin 법을 적용하여 해석하였다. 대칭형은 물론 비대칭형 TEM 셀에 대한 차단 주파수를 정확히 예측할 수 있었다. 기존 대칭형 TEM cell과 직접 제작된 비대칭형 TEM cell에 적용한 결과 측정치와 매우 일치하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다.

Cellular compatibility in the self-parasitism of Cuscuta australis R. Brown was studied at the ultrastructural level. The front cells of the haustorium penetrated the host stems independently grew within the host tissues and transformed into elongate, filamentous hyphae. Each hyphal cells contained a large nucleus and dense cytoplasm with abundant cell organelles. Multilamellar structures were contained in the cytoplasm and cell walls of the penetrating hyphal cells. When the hyphal cells did not yet invade the host cells, the middle lamella and the fused cellulosic cell walls of the two partners at the host-parasite interface were preserved well. As the invasion of the parasitic hyphal cells progressed, however, the middle lamella was not found at the interface and the host cell walls and plasma membranes were partially broken down. A hyphal cell penetrated deeply into the host cell had a more darkly stained cytoplasm with numerous of cell organelles. In the host cells attacked by the hyphal cells the limiting membranes of plastids were broken down and several vesicles were arrayed near the cell walls. No plasmodesmatal connections between the host and parasite cell walls were found; however, half-plasmodesmata were observed frequently on the side of the hyphal cell walls. These results suggested that the compatibility response in the self-parasitism of Cuscuta was expressed by cell walls, not by plasmodesmata, between the host and the parasite cells.
