Subplamalemmal linear densities (SLD) consist of a thin layer of electron dense material immediately subjacent to the inner leaflet of the palsma membrane. Short segments of extracellualr basal lamina-like material or collagen fibers usually overlie them. SLD has been considered to be a possible morphologic maker of cells of mesodermal origin. The present study confirms the fact that SLD may be of value in the diagnosis of mesodermal or mesenchymal tumor.

Synthesis of catecholamine from aniline is achieved by plasma enhanced CVD process. Catecholamine has a variety of functions in body such as brain and bloodstream controls. Catecholamine also has an interesting property of a material independent ability of functionalizing surface, which is found at mussels' adhesive nature. Synthesis of catecholamine has only been available from DOPA by chemical reduction and oxidation. This study presents the direct synthesis of catecholamine from further elemental source, aniline, which has not been achieved by a conventional chemical method. The process also indicates that a variety of catecholamine can be formed by controlling reactant gases. In additional to PECVD's very useful properties such as conformal, ultrathin and uniform coatings, a direct synthesis from aniline and a capability of controlling formation of a variety catecholamine is believed to open up a numerous applications.

To investigate effects of dietary fish oil and vitamin E level on the tissue levels of vitamin E and vitamin A and to see which tissue is sensitive to lipid peroxidizability, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed experimental diets composed of either menhaden oil or soybean oil nad either low(equivalent to 17 mg $\alpha$-tocopherol) or high (equivalent to 140mg $\alpha$-tocopherol) vitamin E level for 4 weeks. Palsma TBARS per mg lipid was significantly elevated in rats fed fish oil with low vitamin E level compared to soybean oil-fed rats. TBARS levels of liver, heart, kidney and liver microsomes were also increased by feeding fish oil with low vitamin E level. Plasma TBARS level was significantly correlated with TBARS levels of liver, heart, kidney and liver microsome. Plasma vitamin E level of groups with vitamin E supplementation was elevated significantly as compared to the those without vitamin E supplementation, whereas vitamin E levels of liver, heart and kidney were not changed significantly. Plasma TBARS was negatively correlated with plasma vitamin E(r=0.5763, P<0.001) and A(r=-0.4523, P<0.01) and seems to be a good indicator of in vivo lipid peroxidative stress.

An experimental study has been performed to characterize fundamental aspects of VOCs removal using non-thermal palsma technique. The removed VOCs in the present study are toluene ($C_6H_5CH_3$), ethene ($C_2H_4$), propene ($C_3H_6$) which are typical air pollutants generated from industry and automobile engines. The non-thermal plasma used in the present experiments has been produced in a wire-cylinder reactor with pulsed corona or a packed-bed reactor filled with ceramic bead. These differently generated non-thermal plasma have been visualized with an intensified CCD. The images of non-thermal plasma have been used for optimal design of a corona reactor used in the present study. The experimental results show that the removal efficiencies of VOCs with non-thermal plasma are dependant on the reactivity of VOCs with OH, O, and $O_3$. The results also show that the removal efficiencies of VOCs decrease significantly when VOCs are treated with NO that is also oxidized in the presence of OH, O, and $O_3$.

SPOES(Self Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy)는 반도체 및 LCD 제조 장비의 Foreline에 장착되는 센서로써, Foreline에 흐르는 Gas를 이온화시켜 이때 발생되는 빛을 분광시켜 공정의 상태 및 장비의 상태등을 종합적으로 점검할 수 있는 센서입니다. SPOES의 최대 장점은 공정 장비에 영향을 주기 않으면서 공정을 진단할 수 있고, 장비의 메인챔버에서 플라즈마 방전이 발생하지 않는 RPS (Remote Plasma System)등에 적용이 가능하며, 설치 및 분해이동과 운용이 용이한 장점이 있습니다. 하지만, SPOES는 오염성 가스 및 물질에 의한 오염에 취약한 단점이 있습니다. 예컨대, 플라즈마 방전에 의한 부산물들이 SPOES의 내부에 있는 윈도우의 렌즈에 부착되어 감도를 저하시켜, SEOES의 수명을 단축시킵니다. 또한 오염 물질이 SPOES 내부의 방전 CHAMBER에 증착되어 플라즈마 방전 효울을 저하시켜 센서의 효율을 저하시킵니다. 예를들면, 장비의 공정 챔버에서 배출되는 탄소와 같은 비금속성 오염물질과 텅스텐과 같은 금속성 오염물질이 SPOES의 방전 CHAMBER 내벽과 윈도우에 증착되어 오염을 유발합니다. 오염이 진행된 SPOES는 방전 CHAMBER의 오염으로 CHAMBER의 유전율을 변화시켜, 플라즈마 방전 효율의 저하를 가져오고, 윈도우의 오염은 빛의 투과율을 저하시켜, OES 신호의 감도를 저하시켜, SPOES 감도를 저하시키는 요인으로 작용합니다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위한 방법으로 능동형 오염 방지 기술을 채용 하였습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법은 SPEOS의 방전 챔버에서 플라즈마 방전시 발생하는 진공의 밀도차를 이용하는 기술과 방전 챔버와 연결된 BYPASS LINE에 의해 발생되는 오염물질 자체 배기 시스템, 그리고 고밀도 플라즈마 방전을 일으키는 멀티 RF 기술 및 고밀도 방전을 일으키는 챔버 구조로 구성 되어 있습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법으로 반도체 공정에서 6개월 이상의 LIFETIME을 확보 할 수 있고, 고밀도 플라즈마로 인한 UV~NIR 영역의 감도 향상등을 확보 할 수 있습니다.

The object of this work was to study the pharmacokinetic differences and the cause of these differences in cirrhotic rats induced by biliary obstruction when aminophylline (8 mg/kg as theophylline, i.v.) was administered. The concentrations of theophylline and its major metabolite (1,3-dimethyluric acid) in plasma were determined by HPLC. In addition, formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid from theophylline in microsomes and the changes in the activity of drug metabolizing enzymes, which are suggested to be involved in theophylline metabolism, were determined. In cirrhotic rats, the systemic clearance of theophylline was reduced to 30% of the control value while AUC (area under the palsma concentration-tie curve) and (t1/2)$\beta$ were increased 1.3 fold and3.5 fold, respectively. The formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid was decreased to 30% of the control value in microsomes of cirrhotic rat liver. In cirrhotic rat liver, activities of aniline hydroxylase (CYP2E1 related), erythromycin-N-demethylase (CYP3A related), and methoxyresorufin-O-demethylase (CYP1A2 related), which were reported to be related with theophyline metabolism, were decreased to 67%, 53%, and 76% that of normal rat liver, respectively. From the results, it can be concluded that in cirrhotic rats induced by biliary obstruction, the total body clearance of theophylline is markedly reduced and it may be due to decreased activity of drug metabolizing enzymes in liver.

The study was to compare the effect of dietary fatty acids on fatty acid profile in tissue and the status of tocopherol and lipid peroxidation, and superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities at two fat levels. Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing average 350g(17 weeks) were fed either low fat(LF, 4.3% w/w, 10% kcal) or high fat(HF, 20.8%, w/w, 40% kcal)diet for 6 weeks. The fats used were beef tallow as a source of saturated fatty acid, corn oil for n-6 linoleic acid, perilla oil for n-3 $\alpha$-linolenic acid and fish oil for n-3 eiocosapentatenoic acid(EPA) and n-3 docosahexaenoic acid(DHA). Palsma tocopherol was significantly reduced by fish oil compared to beef tallow at body fat level. However, there was no significant effect on the levels of plasma MDA, RBC MDA and tocopherol, and RBC hempolysis by the type and amount of dietary fat. The peroxidizibility index of fatty acid profile in plasma and liver was increased and liver MDA level was significantly increased by fish oil when dietary fat level was increased. The activities of SOD and GSHPx tended to be increased by perilla oil and fish oil at both fat oil significantly reduced the incorpration of c20:4 and increased the incorporation of c20:5 into liver compared to corn oil. The incorporation of n-3 fatty acids into tissue by perilla oil rich in $\alpha$-linolenic acid was significantly higher tan corn oil and its effect was improved with higher amount of perilla oil in diet by high fat diet. Overall, the lipid peroxidation of tissue could be prevented by tocopherol supplementation when dietary fat level was low in diet. However, at high fat diet, tocopherol supplementation might not be enough to prevent the lipid peroxidation in tissue since the potential for lipid peroxidation was tended to be increased with higher incorporation of higher unsaturated n-3 fatty acids into tissue. Therefore, it could not be recommended to consume large amount of fish oil even with excess amount of tocopherol supplemented to the high fat diet.
