The object of this study is to investigate the potential of dual-electrospun polymer based structure for vascular tissue engineering, especially for the medium or small sue blood vessels. Polyurethane(PU), which is known to be biocompatible in this area, was electrospun with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). Concentration of PU was fixed at 20wt%, while that of PEO was set from 15 to 35wt%. Morphological features were observed by SEM image and measurement of porosity and cellular responses were tested before and after extracting PEO from the hybrid scaffolds by immersing the scaffolds into distilled water. The diameter of PEO fibers were ranged from 200nm to 500nm. The lower concentration of PEO tended to show beads. The porosity of the scaffolds after extracting PEO was highly increased with higher concentration of PEO as expected. Also, higher proliferation rate of smooth muscle cells was observed at higher concentration of PEO than at the lower concentration and without PEO. As conclusions, this dual electrospinning technique combined with PU and PEO is expected to overcome the current barrier of cell penetration by providing more space for cells to proliferation.

Mycobacterial cell walls comprise thick and diverse lipids and glycolipids that act as a permeability barrier to antibiotics or other chemical agents. The use of OH radicals from a non-thermal plasma jet (NTPJ) for the inactivation of mycobacteria in aqueous solution was adopted as a novel approach. Addition of water vapor in a nitrogen plasma jet generated OH radicals, which converted to hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) that inactivated non-pathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis and pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. A stable plasma plume was obtained from a nitrogen plasma jet with 1.91 W of power, killing Escherichia coli and mycobacteria effectively, whereas addition of catalase decreased the effects of the former. Mycobacteria were more resistant than E. coli to NTPJ treatment. Plasma treatment enhanced intracellular ROS production and upregulation of genes related to ROS stress responses (thiolrelated oxidoreductases, such as SseA and DoxX, and ferric uptake regulator furA). Morphological changes of M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis H37Rv were observed after 5 min treatment with $N_2+H_2O$ plasma, but not of pre-incubated sample with catalase. This finding indicates that the bactericidal efficacy of NTPJ is related to the toxicity of OH and $H_2O_2$ radicals in cells. Therefore, our study suggests that NTPJ treatment may effectively control pulmonary infections caused by M. tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) such as M. avium or M. abscessus in water.

Apple is cultivated under various climatic conditions in many parts of the world. Better understanding of how climate, genotype, soil, and management factors interact to determine crop productivity will improve our ability to optimize crop selection, management strategies, and resource use efficiencies. We developed and applied a physiology-based apple canopy model to evaluate how climatic factors and crop phenotypes interact to determine biomass accumulation, radiation use efficiency (RUE), and water use efficiency (WUE) at multiple production sites between western and eastern states of the US including WA, CA, NY, WV, and PA. Our results indicate that solar radiation is a dominant factor limiting biomass production in the eastern states while VPD is the primary factor governing crop water use across eastern and western states during the peak growing season. Crop RUE and WUE were strongly correlated in the western states but not in the eastern states while VPD showed highly negative correlation with both RUE and WUE across all locations. The RUE improved with increasing fraction of diffuse radiation ($f_{df}$) and the $RUE-f_{df}$ relationships revealed distinctive responses between western and eastern states. Overall, the eastern locations exhibited slightly higher RUE and WUE than the western locations. However, overall productivity and total water use were greater in the western states. A clear decline of productivity with increasing temperature and afternoon VPD past an optimum was predicted in the western locations but this pattern was less clear in the eastern locations. We also discuss potential phenotypes with specific physiological and morphological traits that are differentially suitable for western and eastern locations. Our results provide plausible, spatially explicit explanations and insights to disentangle the complex relationships between crop productivity, resource use efficiencies, phenotype, and climate drivers in apple grown in the US.

Rider jackets were once reserved for military uniforms but have become an important styling item in recent fashion trends. The design characteristics of the rider jacket are rooted in symbolism, and the image associated with a rider jacket is in line with the challenging of authority and being a member of the rebellious youth subculture. Usually, young people with anti-social tendencies wore jackets, and some styles were used as a medium to express their emotional homogeneity, and they received favorable responses as the items represented them. The design characteristics of a rider jacket can be largely divided into resistance against the older generation, violence, challenging cultural norms, sexuality, and resistance, as well as embodying violent characteristics, including strength, courage. and male chauvinism. The reason for the development of these challenging characteristics are disparagement and anger of the lower class, who were excluded from mainstream society. Rider jackets can be viewed negatively due to the kind of message it is conveying against mainstream society. Among the sexual features were leather pants, short-length leather rider jackets, glossy metal accessories, and belt buckles, which also highlighted gay and decadent images that came to be associated with the jackets. The drapery created various kinds of wrinkles according to the way of dressing, and it had beautiful expressiveness while serving to express the body more beautifully. Drapery can be classified according to the aesthetic characteristics or expression techniques, and if the type of drapery is classified according to the morphological characteristics, it can be classified into variable and fixed structures, depending on whether the part to which the drapery is applied is fluid or not. In other words, it depends on the dressing method or the intention, and if the drapery technique is directly applied to the garment or is attached to the form. This fashion design proposal may have the greatest significance in that it sought to propose a new style incorporating a drapery technique with a strong feminine image to a rider jacket, which traditionally was associated with a masculine image.

Q. mongolica and Q. dentata are representative species of deciduous forest communities in Korea and are known to be relatively resistant to soil drying condition among Korean oaks. This study attempted to elucidate the degree of competition and ecological niche characteristics of the two species by comparing the ecological responses of the two species according to soil moisture. Competition between Q. mongolica and Q. dentata was shown to be more intense under the conditions where moisture content was low than under the conditions where moisture content was high. As for the ecological niche overlaps of the two species for soil moisture, the structural traits of plant such as stem diameter overlapped the most, the traits of biomass such as petiole weight overlapped the least, and photosynthetic organ-related traits such as leaf width and length overlapped intermediately. When looking at the competition for soil moisture between the two species, it can be seen that Q. mongolica won in nine traits (leaf width length, leaf lamina length, leaf lamina weight, leaf petiole weight, leaf area, leaves weight, shoot weight, root weight, and plant weight) and Q. dentata won in the remaining seven traits (leaf petiole length, leaves number, stem length, stem diameter, stem weight, shoot length, and root length). Competition between the two species for the moisture environment of the soil was shown to be intense under the conditions where moisture content was low. The degree of competition between Q. dentata and Q. mongolica for soil moisture is high under the conditions where soil moisture content is low, and it is judged that Q. mongolica is more competitive for soil moisture than Q. dentata.

Objectives: Sweet bee venom (sBV) is purified from Apis mellifera, containing a high level of melittin-its main component. It has been used as a therapeutic agent for pain relief and anti-inflammation, as well as for treating neuronal abnormalities. Recently, there have been studies on the therapeutic application of sBV for anticancer treatment. In the present study, we investigated the pharmacological effect of sBV treatment in A549 human lung cancer cells. Methods: We used microscopic analysis to observe the morphological changes in A549 cells after sBV treatment. The MTT assay was used to examine the cytotoxic effect after dose-dependent sBV treatment. Molecular changes in sBV were evaluated by the expression of apoptosis marker proteins using western blot analysis. Results: Microscopic analysis suggested that the growth inhibitory effect occurred in a dose-dependent manner; however, cell lysis occurred at a concentration over 20 ㎍/mL of sBV. The MTT assay indicated that sBV treatment exhibited a growth inhibitory effect at a concentration over 5 ㎍/mL. On fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis, G0 dead cells were observed after G1 arrest at treatment concentrations up to 10 ㎍/mL. However, rapid cell rupture was observed at a concentration of 20 ㎍/mL. Western blot analysis demonstrated that sBV treatment modulated the expression of multiple cell death-related proteins, including cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 9, p53, Bcl2, and Bax. Conclusion: sBV induced cell death in A549 human lung cancer cells at a pharmacological concentration, albeit causing hemolytic cell death at a high concentration.

The supply of microbiological risk-free water is essential to keep food safety and public hygiene. And removal, inactivation, and destruction of microorganisms in drinking water are key for ensuring safety in the food industry. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation is an attractive method for efficient disinfection of water without generating toxicity and adversely affecting human health. In this study, the disinfection efficiencies of UV-C irradiation on Shigella flexneri (Gram negative) and Listeria monocytogenes (Gram positive) at various concentrations in drinking water were evaluated using a water purifier. Their morphological and physiological characteristics after UV-C irradiation were observed using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry combined with live/dead staining. UV-C irradiation (254 nm wavelength, irradiation dose: 40 mJ/cm²) at a water flow velocity of 3.4 L/min showed disinfection ability on both bacteria up to 10⁸ CFU/4 L. And flow cytometric analysis showed different physiological shift between S. flexneri and L. monocytogenes after UV-C irradiation, but no significant shift of morphology in both bacteria. In addition, each bacterium revealed different characteristics with time-course observation after UV-C irradiation: L. monocytogenes dramatically changed its physiological feature and seemed to reach maximum damage at 4 h and then recovered, whereas S. flexneri seemed to gradually die over time. This study revealed that UV-C irradiation of water purifiers is effective in disinfecting microbial contaminants in drinking water and provides basic information on bacterial features/responses after UV-C irradiation.

자연단일기에 장일식물의 개화를 촉진하기 일반적으로 사용되어 온 백열등(INC)이 낮은 에너지 효율 때문에 생산이 금지되었는데, 이를 대체할 수 있는 광원 중 하나는 컴팩트 형광등(CFL)이다. 본 연구에서는 몇 가지 장일식물에 대해 9시간 단일(SD) 조건의 $20^{\circ}C$ 온실에서 INC, CFL, 그리고 이 둘의 혼합광원(INC + CFL)을 이용하여 2시간(2-h) 또는 4시간(4-h) 야파(NI)나 6시간 명기연장(DE) 처리를 한 후 개화 및 형태학적 반응을 비교하였다. 전조 광원의 적색광(R):원적색광(FR) 비율은 각각 0.60, 8.46, 0.91이었으며, PPFD는 모두 $2.3{\pm}0.3{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$로 맞추었고, 대조구로 9시간 단일처리(9-h SD)를 두었다. 처리 10주 후, 페튜니아 'Wave Purple'는 단일 하에서 전혀 개화하지 않았으며, 모든 장일처리에서는 100% 개화하였다. 개화는 INC 및 INC + CFL 하에서 FL보다 앞당겨졌으며, DE와 4-h NI가 2-h NI보다 개화를 더 촉진하였다. 페튜니아 'Single Dreams Red'는 처리 후 65일까지 모두 개화하였는데, DE와 4h-NI가 2-h NI보다 개화를 더 앞당겼고 INC와 INC + CFL에서 빨리 개화하였으며 INC 6-h DE에서 개화소요일수가 가장 짧았다. 초장은 페튜니아 두 품종 모두 개화가 빨랐던 INC 하에서 가장 길었고, INC + CFL는 중간 정도였다. 팬지 'Coiossus Yellow'와 'Delta Blue Blotch' 두 품종 모두 INC 처리가 FL보다 개화를 촉진시켰는데, 전조시간별 차이는 작게 나타났다. 줄기 신장도 INC가 촉진하였으나 광원 및 전조시간에 따른 차이는 페튜니아보다 작게 나타났다. 결국 R:FR이 낮은 INC나 INC + CFL 하에서 개화 및 줄기신장이 촉진되었으며 장일처리시간이 길수록 그 효과가 더 컸다. 결론적으로, INC의 대체 전조광원으로써 CFL도 페튜니아 및 팬지의 개화를 촉진하였고 줄기신장을 억제하였으나, 개화 촉진 효과는 INC에 비하여 작았다.

본 연구는 우리나라의 희귀식물인 박달목서의 현지내·외 보존 및 복원을 위한 생육 환경 조성 시 적정 광 조건을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 차광 처리구를 설치하여 전광 기준 100%, 55%, 20%, 10% 상대 광량 조건에서 4월부터 11월까지 생육 관리한 박달목서 유묘의 생장 특성, 잎 형태, 광합성 특성 및 광합성 색소 함량을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 수고와 근원경의 상대 생장률은 광량에 따른 차이가 없었으나, 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리의 건중량 및 잎 수는 55% 상대 광량 조건에서 가장 높았다. 잎의 형태는 광량이 높아질수록 엽면적이 작아지고 두께가 두꺼워지는 경향을 보였다. 광포화점에서의 광합성 속도와 기공전도도를 비롯하여 순양자수율, 암호흡, 잎의 엽록소 a, b와 카로테노이드 함량 역시 55% 상대 광량에서 가장 높았다. 전광 조건에서 박달목서 유묘의 잎은 작고 두꺼워지는 형태적 적응이 나타났으나, 엽록소 함량은 가장 낮아 광합성 속도가 55% 상대 광량보다 떨어졌다. 10%, 20% 상대 광량에서는 광량이 적을수록 엽록소 a, b, 카로테노이드 함량이 감소하였고, 광합성 속도와 암호흡 속도가 낮아졌다. 결론적으로, 박달목서 유묘는 광량에 따라 형태적인 적응 반응을 보였으나, 그늘에서 광합성 효율을 높이는 생리적인 반응은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 또한 생육에 가장 적절한 광조건은 전광의 55% 수준으로, 이 조건에서 광합성이 가장 활발하고 최종 산물인 건중량 생산이 최대로 나타났다. 따라서 박달목서는 현지외 보존을 위한 생육 환경 조성 시 광량이 전광의 55% 정도가 될 수 있도록 조절 관리하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
