본 논문은 채널당 3.125Gb/s의 전송률을 갖는 다채널 송수신기의 설계를 다룬다 신호 전송 방식은 노이즈에 강하고 전력 소모가 작은 LVDS 구동 회로를 이용하였으며, 제안한 프리-엠퍼시스 회로를 사용하여 송신기의 속도를 향상시켰다. 수신기의 경우, 이중 보간 방식을 기반으로 1/4-rate 클록을 이용하는 저전력 CDR(clock and data recovery)을 제안하였다. 제안한 CDR은 1/2-rate 클록 방식과 동일한 공급 클록 수를 유지하면서 각각의 복원부에서 추가로 필요한 클록을 플립플롭을 이용하지 않고 인버터만으로 생성한다. 이로써 클록 생성기의 주파수를 낮추어 고속 전송을 가능케 하였으며, 공급 클록의 수를 증가시키지 않고 1/4-rate 주파수의 클록을 이용함으로써 CDR을 저전력화하였다. 테스트용 칩은 2개의 채널로 구성되어 있으며 $0.18{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작되었다. 측정 결과 송신기의 출력 데이터 지터는 100ps(0.3lUI)이며 수신기의 복원 클록의 지터는 47.33ps로 이는 클록 주기의 약 3.7%에 해당한다. 전체 칩의 면적은 $3.5mm^2$이며 전력 소모는 채널당 119mW이다.

Leukemia is a blood disease that occurs in the abnormal process of leukocyte maturation. Its main medical treatment is chemical therapy and bone medical transplant. But its treatments give rise to ill effects and sequela. At present, the cause of leukemia is not fully understood. But oriental concept of curing leukemia is the holistic thinking that emphasizes the unity, wholeness, and the relationship between the human organs, including western medical concept of blood cause. So it is estimated that holistic medical treatment in oriental medicine could present new medical way of curing leukemia. I read over the diary on struggles against leukemia, survey on the leukemia patients, and, medical charts in the oriental clinics that treated in the holistic way, and I interviewed the leukemia patients. With these materials, I classified the early main attacking symptoms according to the chief complaints of one hundred leukemia patients. With these results collected, I present new alternative treatment by oriental medical diagnosis. The chief early complaints that leukemia patients give are fatigue, enervation, cold, contusion, fever, high fever, sweating at sleep, myalgia, arthralgia, and dizziness, in order of main symptoms. Fatigue occurs mainly by spleen and stomach weakness and marrow shortage. So it is estimated that It is important to treat the spleen that is responsible for supplementing the marrow. Because the leukemia patients have anemia and hemorrhage, to treat the spleen is important for hematopoiesis and controlling blood. In case of cold, it penetrates into the body when the body is weak. So its treatment is to increase body's health. But the cause of fever is difficult to classify into outer cause and inner cause. But in case of children under 14 years old, fever is the main sypmptom. I think this is because children have the body with pure vital energy. Hemorrhage is thought to be the result of yin-lack and heat-miasma of spleen and stomach channels. Contusion occurs from the qi-weakness and the not-controlling-blood. Sweating at sleep is from the yin-weakness. It is found with all weak symptoms. Dizziness is from the yin-blood impairment. Weight-loss is from the marrow shortage. Myalgia and arthralgia is mainly from inner weakness, not outer maisma. Most leukemia patients have the idea that holistic treatment of leukemia could be of assistance and give help to the low immunity. So it is expected that holistic medical treatment could contribute to knowing the cause and treatment of leukemia, and give people reliability on oriental medical treatment, through the profound diagnosis of leukemia.

Background: Polysaccharides are the most important functional constituent in Astragalus membranaceus. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of polysaccharides isolated from the aboveground parts of A. membranaceus (AMA) and polysaccharides isolated from the roots of A. membranaceus (AMR) immune function by modulated cytotoxic T cell and Th1- and Th2-related cytokines kinetics. Methods and Results: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into exhaustive exercise case groups and non-exercise case, AMA and AMR samples were administered orally for 30 days (500 mg/kg/day and 10 mg/kg/day, respectively) and were compared to those rats in the groups fed commercial sports drink (SPD) and vehicle. Both exhaustive exercise groups and non-exercise groups had a lower ratio of $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ cells in the spleens of the rat fed AMA and AMR compared to those in the rats fed SPD and vehicle group. These results suggested that AMA and AMR promote an increase in the proportion of cytotoxic T cells. The IL-4-producing T lymphocytes decreased significantly in the AMR (10 mg/kg/day) group compared to SPD and vehicle, whereas the AMA group increased the IL-4 concentration more than the SPD and vehicle in exhaustive exercise group. However, the populations of IFN-${\gamma}$-producing T lymphocytes of AMR and AMA increased. AMA decreased the concentration of IFN-${\gamma}$ to inhibit the Th1 response and thereby increased the concentration of IL-4 to induce a Th2 response that was related to humoral immunity in the non-exercise group. Conclusions: These results showed that, in addition to Th1/Th2 regulation, AMR and AMA played an important immuno-modulatory role after exhaustive exercise-induced Th1/Th2 lymphocyte imbalance, which might be correlated with cytokine producing immunoregulatory cells.

본 연구는 상이한 음파 처리에 따라 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua) 유충의 소화와 면역 생리반응에 대한 교란 효과를 분석하였다. 조사한 모든 주파수의 음파 처리가 파밤나방 산란에는 뚜렷한 효과를 주지 않았지만, 95 dB 소리세기에서 100-5,000 Hz 주파수의 음파 처리는 유충의 섭식량을 저하시키고, 중장의 소화효소 활성을 억제시켰다. 이 스트레스 음파 처리에 따른 중장 내강에 존재하는 단백질을 이차원전기영동으로 분리하였으며, 무처리구와 상이한 단백질 패턴을 발견하였다. 또한 가장 스트레스 효과를 크게 주는 95 dB의 5,000 Hz 주파수 음파 처리를 받은 유충은 곰팡이 감염에 대해서 혈구의 소낭형성이 억제되었다. 이 음파 처리 받은 유충의 혈구와 혈장에서 인지질분해효소(phospholipase $A_2$: $PLA_2$)의 활성은 현격하게 감소하였다. 스트레스 음파 처리에 따라 파밤나방 유충은 살충제에 대한 감수성이 증가했다. 이러한 상이한 주파수에 따른 생리교란 효과는 소리세기의 차이에 따라 뚜렷하게 차등을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 음파처리가 파밤나방의 생리과정에 스트레스를 주어 비화학적 해충 방제 관리 기술 개발에 적용될 수 있다고 본 연구는 제시한다.

Purpose: Although chronic and recurrent rhinosinusitis is prevalent in children, little is known about its causes. Here, we investigated the humoral immunity in children with chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis. Methods: We examined 16 children attending the outpatient clinic at the CHA Bundang Medical Center including 11 boys and 5 girls, aged 3-11 years (mean age, 5.6 years), who had rhinosinusitis for >3 months or >3 times per year. The complete blood count with differential and total serum concentrations of Immunoglobulin (Ig) E, IgA, IgD, IgM, IgG, and IgG subclasses ($IgG_1$, $IgG_2$, $IgG_3$, and $IgG_4$) of all children were measured. All subjects received 23-polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccination (PPV), and the levels of antibodies to 5 serologic types (4, 6B, 14, 18C, and 23F) of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide antigens were measured before and after vaccination. Post-PPV antibody titers ${\geq}0.35{\mu}g/mL$ or with a ${\geq}4$-fold increase were considered as positive responses. Results: The titers of IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgM were within normal range in all 16 children, whereas the total IgE concentration was higher than normal in 2 children. $IgG_1$ deficiency was observed in 1 patient and $IgG_3$ deficiency in 3. After PPV, 1 patient failed to respond to all 5 serologic types, 2 failed to respond to 4 serologic types, and 2 failed to respond to 3 serologic types. Conclusion: Clinicians should consider the evaluation of humoral immune functions in children with chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis who do not respond to prolonged antibiotic treatment.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the performance of lactating sows and piglets as well as the immunity of piglets suckling from sows fed CLA. Eighteen multiparous Duroc sows with an average body weight (BW) of $232.0{\pm}6.38kg$ were randomly selected and assigned to two dietary treatments (n = 9 for each treatment), control (no CLA addition) and 1% CLA supplementation. For the control diet, CLA was replaced with soybean oil. Experimental diets were fed to sows during a 28-day lactation period. Litter size for each sow was standardized to nine piglets by cross-fostering within 24 hours after birth. Sow milk and blood samples were taken from sows and piglets after 21 and 27 days of lactation, respectively. Loss of BW was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in sows fed control diet compared to sows fed CLA diet. Piglet weights at weaning and weight gain during suckling were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in sows fed CLA compared to sows fed control diet. Serum non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and urea nitrogen concentrations were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in sows fed CLA than in sows fed soybean oil. IgG concentrations of the groups supplemented with CLA increased by 49% in sow serum (p < 0.0001), 23% in milk (p < 0.05), and 35% in piglet serum (p < 0.05) compared with the control group. Sows fed CLA showed an increase of 10% in milk yield compared with sows fed soybean oil (p < 0.05), even though there was no difference in daily feed intake between the treatments. Milk fat content was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in sows fed CLA than in sows fed soybean oil. Solid-not-fat yield was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in sows supplemented with CLA than in sows fed control diet and also protein-to-fat ratio in milk was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in sows fed CLA compared with the control group. The results show that CLA supplementation to sows increased milk yield without losing BW during lactation, whereas soybean oil supplementation resulted in severe BW loss.

Objectives: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the immunomodulatory (IM) activity of IM-133N, a herbal combination in various immunotherapeutic experimental models. Methods: The IM activity of IM-133N was evaluated against three experimental models namely, effect of IM-133N against Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced abdominal sepsis in mice, and carbon clearance test was performed in Wistar albino rats to evaluated the phagocytic potential of IM-133N, in addition IM-133N was evaluated for its immunoglobulin enhancing potential in rats, where the immunoglobulin levels were measured by zinc sulphate turbity (ZST) test. Further, IM-133N was subjected for detailed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS analysis to identify the probable active constituents present in it. Results: The findings of the present study has demonstrated very promising IM property of IM-133N in all the experimental models. Briefly, pretreatment with IM-133N at 125, 250, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg, p.o. doses had protected the mice against E. coli-induced abdominal sepsis and mortality, further the effect of IM-133N was found to be significant and dose-dependent. In support of this, in another study administration of IM-133N showed a significant and dose-dependent increase in serum immunoglobulin levels, estimated by ZST test. In line with the above findings, in the carbon clearance test the low doses (125 and 250 mg/kg, p.o.) of IM-133N increased the rate of carbon clearance, whereas the higher doses (500 and 1,000 mg/kg, p.o.) did not sustain the response, and saturation effect was considered as one of the possible reason for futility of higher doses for IM-133N. In addition, A detailed LC-MS/MS analysis of IM-133N showed 17 bioactive phytochemical constituents: namely, apigenin, chaulmoogric acid, mesquitol, quercetin, symphoxanthone, salireposide, ${\beta}$-sitosterol, nonaeicosanol, ${\beta}$-amyrin, betulic acid, oleanolic acid, symplososide, symponoside, symploveroside, symplocomoside, symconoside A and locoracemoside B. Conclusion: These findings suggest that IM-133N possesses significant IM activity and, hence, could be useful for eradicating opportunistic disease-triggering pathogens via immunotherapeutic mechanisms. The findings also suggest IM-133N may also useful in other immunity disorders.

본 연구에서는 키토산이 마우스에서 Th1과 Th2 사이토카인의 생성에 미치는 효과를 보기 위하여 키토산에 의한 IL-2 생성의 변화, 키토산에 의한 IFN-$\gamma$ 생성의 변화, 그리고 키토산에 의한 IL-4 생성의 변화, 키토산에 의한 IL-10 생성의 변화를 시험관내에서 시험하였다. 또한 LPS, Con A, PHA-P와 같은 세포자극물과 키토산이 함께 작용되었을 때 상기 사이토카인의 생성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 키토산을 비장세포에 노출시켰을 때 Th1 사이토카인인 IL-2와 IFN-$\gamma$의 생성이 크게 증가하였지만 고농도의 키토산에 의해서는 오히려 대조군에 비하여 감소하였다. LPS와 같은 세균독소, Con A와 같은 세포자극물을 비장세포에 노출시켰을 때 IL-2와 IFN-$\gamma$의 생성은 큰 상승을 나타냈으며 LPS의 경우 키토산에 의해서 IL-2와 IFN-$\gamma$의 생성이 증폭되었다. 키토산을 비장세포에 노출시켰을 때 Th2 사이토카인인 IL-4와 IL-10의 생성은 큰 증가를 보이지 않았다. LPS와 같은 세균독소에 의한 IL-4와 IL-10의 상승이 키토산에 의해서 억제되었다. 따라서 이러한 결과들로 부터 키토산이 LPS와 같은 세균독소가 존재하는 가운데 Th1 사이토카인을 증가시키고 Th2 사이토카인을 감소시킴에 따른 면역반응 환경이 이루어질 가능성이 높다 하겠다. 앞으로 키토산에 대한 더 많은 자료의 축적이 이루어지게 되면 임상에서 Th1/Th2 면역반응의 균형을 유지하는데 이용될 가능성도 있다 하겠다.
