목 적: 중간엽 줄기세포를 임상에 적용하기 위해서는 체외 배양을 통한 세포증식 과정이 필요하나, 오랜 기간 동안 체외 배양을 하게 되면 노화되어 특성이 변하고 분화 능력 또한 감소하게 된다. 따라서 현재까지는 초기 계대배양의 세포만이 임상에 적용되고 있는 실정이며 체외에서의 세포 배양이 세포의 특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구와 함께 세포의 특성 변화 없이 체외증식이 가능하도록 하는 연구들이 골수 및 지방유래 중간엽 줄기세포에서 보고되고 있다. 그러나 현재 탯줄유래 줄기세포의 체외 배양에 따른 특성 변화 분석 연구는 아직 잘 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 탯줄유래 줄기세포의 체외 배양 시 계대배양 증가에 따른 줄기세포의 특성 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 사람의 탯줄유래 줄기세포 (human umbilical cord-derived stem cells, HUC)를 분리하여 in vitro에서 계대배양하였다. 계대배양에 따른 세포의 형태와 population doubling time (PDT)을 조사하고 RT-PCR 방법을 이용하여 mRNA 분석을 하였으며 면역세포화학 염색법을 이용하여 단백질 발현을 분석하였다. 결 과: 탯줄유래 줄기세포는 평균 10번의 계대배양 후 senescence를 나타냈다. 세포의 형태는 7번째 계대배양 이후 세포질이 넓어지고 세포의 크기가 커지는 변화를 나타냈으며 PDT가 증가하기 시작하였다. 계대배양 4, 8, 10번째 시기의 세포의 mRNA 변화를 분석한 결과 Oct-4, HNF-4${\alpha}$, mRNA는 10번째 계대배양까지 지속적으로 발현하였으나 nestin, vimentin mRNA는 지속적으로 발현이 감소하였고 SCF mRNA는 지속적으로 발현이 감소하였다. 이에 반해 HLA-DR${\alpha}$, Pax-6, BMP-2 mRNA는 모든 계대배양 시기의 세포에서 발현되지 않았다. 면역세포화학 분석법을 통한 3, 6, 9번째 계대배양 세포의 단백질 발현 분석 결과 SSEA-3와 SSEA-4는 3, 6, 9번째 계대배양 세포 모두에서 발현하였으나 ICAM-1과 HLA-ABC는 계대배양이 증가함에 따라 발현이 증가되었다. Thy-1 단백질은 p9에서 발현이 증가되었으며 이와 반대로 TRA-1-60와 VCAM-1 단백질은 p6과 p9 시기에 발현이 감소되었다. HLA-DR 단백질은 모든 계대배양 시기에 발현되지 않았다. 결 론: 본 연구결과 탯줄유래 줄기세포는 체외 배양 시 줄기세포 특성이 일부 변하는 것을 관찰하였다. 앞으로 줄기세포의 특성을 유지할 수 있는 체외 배양법의 발달을 위한 연구들이 수행 되야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Isolation and culture of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are attractive for production of genetic modified offspring. In the present study, buffalo spermatogonial stem-like cells were isolated, cultured and expression pattern of different germ cell marker genes were determined. To recover spermatogonia, testes from age 3 to 7 months of buffalo were decapsulated, and seminiferous tubules were enzymatically dissociated. Two types of cells, immature sertoli cell and type A spermatogonia were observed in buffalo testes in this stage. Germ cell marker genes, OCT3/4 (Pou5f1), THY-1, c-kit, PGP9.5 (UCHL-1) and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, were determined to be expressed both in mRNA and protein level by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunostaining in buffalo testes and buffalo spermatogonial stem-like cells, respectively. In the following, when the isolated buffalo buffalo spermatogonial stem-like cells were cultured in the medium supplemented 2.5% fetal bovine serum and 40 ng/mL glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor medium, SSCs proliferation efficiency and colony number were significantly improved than those of other groups (p<0.05). These findings may help in isolation and establishing long term in vitro culture system for buffalo spermatogonial stem-like cells, and accelerating the generation of genetic modified buffaloes.

The mammary gland contains a subpopulation of epithelial cells with large proliferative potentials which are the likely targets for carcinogens. These clonogenic cells can proliferate and differentiate into functional glandular structures. Multicellular secretory alveolar units (AU) develop from these clonogens in grafts of monodispersed rat mammary epithelial cells (RMEC) in gland-free mammary fat pads in intact recipient F344 rats co-grafted with mammotropic hormone-secreting pituitary tumors (MtT F4). Multicellular nonsecretory ductal units (DU) develop in grafts of monodispersed RMEC in gland-free fat pads in adrenalectomized recipient WF rats co-grafted with MtT W10. However, this effect were reversed by hydrocortisone replacement therapy. RMEC were isolated from appropriate donor rats as monodispersed mixed cells or, alternatively, RNA＋ cells were sorted by flow cytometry of mixed RMEC stained with FITC-RNA and PE-anti-Thy-1.1 monoclonal antibody. We grafted mixed or sorted PNA+ cells in gland-free mammary fat pads in recipient rats that were endocrinologically manipulated to induce AU or DU. Cells were also isolated from these AU or DU as mixed or sorted RNA＋ cells and sub-transplanted in recipient rats treated appropriately to induce AU or DU, respectively. Cells obtained from AU in grafts gave rise to clonal AU and from DU in grafts to DU on sub-transplantation in appropriate recipients. When adrenalectomized recipient WF rats co-grafted with MtT W10 received daily subcutaneous injections of hydrocortisone for periods of 21 days following the PHA＋ cell transplantation, AU, instead of DU, were developed. The histologies of these secondary AU and DU were not different from those of the primary AU and DU. Casein and laminin proteins were demonstrated by immunocytochemical staining of primary and secondary AU. Electron micrographs also demonstrated that AU were composed of secretory cells with milk protein in the cytoplasm. DU were composed of little or non-secretory ductal epithelial cells. These AU and DU also secreted large amounts of lipids. Clonogenic cells were more common in DU than in AU. Thus, AU and DU contain persistent subpopulations of clonogenic stem-like cells.

Spermatogenesis is initiated from spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) that has an ability of self-renewal and unipotency to generate differentiating germ cells. The objective of this study is to develop the simple method for derivation of SSCs using non-sorting of both spermatogonia and feeder cells. Simply uncapsulated mouse testes were treated with enzymes followed by surgical mincing, and single cells were cultured in stempro-$34^{TM}$ cell culture media at $37^{\circ}C$. After 5 days of culture, aciniform of SSC colony was observed, and showed a strong alkaline phosphatase activity. Molecular characterization of mouse SSCs showed that most of the mouse SSC markers such as integrin ${\alpha}6$ and ${\beta}1$, CD9 and Stra8. In addition, pluripotency embryonic stem cell (ESC) marker Oct4 were expressed, however Sox2 expression was lowered. Interestingly, expression of SSC markers such as Vasa, Dazl and PLZF were stronger than mouse ESC (mESC). This data suggest that generated mouse SSCs (mSSCs) in this study has at least similar biomarkers expression to mESC and mSSCs derived from other study. Immunocytochemistry using whole mSSC colony also confirmed that mSSCs generated from this study expressed SSC specific biomarkers such as c-kit, Thy1, Vasa and Dazl. In conclusion, mSSCs from 5 days old mouse testes were successfully established without sorting of spermatogonia, and this cells expressed both mESC and SSC specific biomarkers. This simple derivation method for mSSCs may facilitate the study of spermatogenesis.

The ${\beta}2$ integrins on leukocytes play important roles in cell adhesion, migration and phagocytosis. One of the ${\beta}2$ integrins, ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$ (CD11c/CD18), is known to bind ligands such as fibrinogen, Thy-1 and iC3b, but its function is not well characterized. To understand its biological roles, we attempted to identify novel ligands. The functional moiety of ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$, the ${\alpha}X$ I-domain, was found to bind plasminogen, the zymogen of plasmin, with moderate affinity ($1.92{\times}10^{-6}M$) in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$ or $Mn^{2+}$. The ${\beta}D-{\alpha}5$ loop of the ${\alpha}X$ I-domain proved to be responsible for binding, and lysine residues ($Lys^{242}$, $Lys^{243}$) in the loop were the most important for recognizing plasminogen. An excess amount of the lysine analog, 6-aminohexanoic acid, inhibited ${\alpha}X$ I-domain binding to plasminogen, indicating that binding is lysine-dependent. The results of this study indicate that leukocytes regulate plasminogen activation, and consequently plasmin activities, through an interaction with ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$ integrin.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Kamikwibitang water extract (KKT) on immobilization stress in C57BL/6J mice. KKT decreased the serum level of histamine and corticosterone increased by immobilization stress. In addition, KKT decreased the cell viability of thymocytes and enhanced the cell viability of splenocytes decreased by immobilization stress. Also, KKT decreased the viability of thymocytes and splenocytes in vitro. KKT decreased DNA fragmentation of splenocytes increased by immobilization stress. KKT decreased the population of thymic $CD4^+CD8^-$ cells increased by immobilization stress, and did not affect the population of $B220^+$ cells and the population of $Thy1^+$ cells changed by immobilization stress and enhanced the population of splenic $CD4^-CD8^+$ cells increased by immobilization stress. KKT enhanced the production of ${\gamma}-interferon$ and did not affect the production of interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 decreased by immobilization stress. Also, KKT decreased the phagocytic activity and the level of nitric oxide decreased by immobilization stress. These results indicate that KKT may be useful for the prevention and treatment of stress via suppression of serum histamine and corticosterone level and enhancement of specific-immune response.

The purpose of this study was to illuminate the ways to im-prove the level of life satisfaction of the elderly who chose or happened to live at paid facilities by examining some of factors such as individual family social support and facility related el-ements that would influence their life satisfaction. The interview outcomes came out in three main discussions. First the general characteristics of the participating elderly appeared to be that most of them were ver7y elderly relatively highly educated females and religions and the rate of being ill was high. And a half of them considered themselves as heal- thy people and the other half as unhealthy. Secondly in view of statisticsal results the level of their life satisfaction was influnced by their individual family and facillity related factors. As far as their individual related factor are concerned the level of one party's life satisfaction was relative-ely higher than that of other's when the person is female had religio presumed oneself as in healthy and good physical condition. And when participating member keeps good relation-ship with his or her own children the level of the person's life satisfaction was only slightly higher than other elderly group who did not have good relationship with their children. There were no other significant statistical differences on the level of their life satisfaction related to the social support factors between those two group. Thirdly the level of the elderly's life satisfaction was influe- nced in the order of folldwing factors: (1) the quality of facility living condition 2) the commitment of ownership of the organization (3) the elderly residents' own education level (4) the elderly's own subjectivel health condition and (5) the sex of the individuals.

This research has four specific objectives: (1) identifying factors that affect customer satisfaction with less than container load (LCL) cargo services of logistics companies in HoChiMinh City (HCMC), (2) measuring the level of impact of the factors, (3) testing the difference in satisfaction among groups of customers with different characteristics in terms of type of business and time of using LCL cargo services, and (4) proposing some management implications to improve the quality of LCL cargo services. Researchers interviewed 210 customers who enjoyed the LCL cargo service in HCMC for at least the last six months, using the convenient sampling method. SPSS 20 was used to analyze the reliability of the scale through the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, then exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used. The results identified the six factors that influence positively customer satisfaction of LCL cargo services of logistics companies in HCMC, by decreasing importance: service process, image, resource, price, management, and outcomes. The results show that there is no difference in customer satisfaction with LCL cargo services by types of business as well as time of using services. The research suggests some implications for the management of logistics companies in HCMC to enhance customer satisfaction.

Ship's maneuverability is very important factor in safe ship handling and economical ship operation. Steering characteristics are consisted of course stability and maneuverability. Today in many advanced ship-building countries, they study ship's course stability, using model ship tests, such as straight line tests, rotating arm tests and Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) etc., in tow in tanks. It is the purpose of this paper to provide ship's handlers with better understanding of steering characteristics and to help them in safe controlling and manevering . In this paper, the author simulated response of various vessels, running straight course with constant speed, and they are disturbed by small external disturbance of one degree yaw angle with no angular velocity . The author used the hydrodynamic derivtives resulted at tests of Davidson's laboratory in Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, U.S.A. Course stability was evaluated and analyzed in various respects, such as block coefficient, ratio of ship's length to beam, draft and rudder area ratio etc. The obtained results are as follows : (1) The ship's course stability is affected by magnitude of block coefficient greatly. In case that the block coefficient is more than 0.7, the deviation varies at nearly same rate but the requistite time to reach the steady course is different. (2) The ship's course stability is affected by magnitude of L/B. When the dimensionless time reaches about 3, the deviation and requisite time to reach the steady course are influenced nearly same. After the dimensionless time is about 3, they change on invariable ratio. (3) The effect to course stability by L/T and RA' can be neglected. (4) The reason why thy VLCC and container feeder vessel are unstable on their course is that their block coefficient is generally more than 0.8 and the ratio of ship's length to beam is about 6.0.
