Levels of platelets and other hematological values were monitored in 21 Saimiri and 12 Aotus monkeys over a period of three weeks post·infection with monkey·adapted Indochina CDC-1 strain of Plasmedium falciparum. In both Snlinoiri sciureus boliviensis and Aetus nancymai karyotype-1 monkeys the severest thrombocytopenia was observed at 14 days post-infection coinciding with peak parasitemia, neutropenia, Iynlphocytosis, and anemia associated with severe hemoglobinemia and elevated fibrinogen degeneration products(FDP's), MCH and MCV profiles in Aotus monkeys decreased with ascending parasitemia. In contrast, these parameters in Saimiri were characterized by a significant compensatory increase correlating with parasitemia. In general, thrombocytopenia was one of the earliest clinical manifestations of the infection with the platelets returning to normal levels shortly after peak parasitenlia at 14 days. Platelet kinetics had a strong correlation with hematologic and parasitologic values in the Aotus nlodel. No consistent associations were observed between platelet kinetics and other parameters in the Saimiri model. These data indicate that the Aotus model for malaria is more predictable than the Saimiri. Further, platelet turnover rates and recovery provide a useful prognostic parameter during malaria infection. The results are discussed in relation to the value of the two species of monkeys as models for the pathogenesis of human malaria.

Field experiment was conducted to develop a model of controlled release of oxyfluorfen by using various split applications. Rice and some weed species was included in this study. The models of split applications were 10-10-0. 10-10-10. 20-20-0, 20-10-10. 20-20-20, 0-40-0, and 0-0-0g/Ha at 3days before transplanting, and 11 days after transplanting, respectively. Rice injury appeared dispeared at 20 g/Ha of oxyfluorfen on low leaf sheath but disappeared at few days. The injury was reduced by split application even at the same rate of application. However, no injury was siginificant at 30 days after transplanting. Barnyardgrass, Monochoria, and arrowhead were most susceptible to oxyfluorfen, but bulruch and most perennial weeds recovered after temporary growth inhibition. Therefore, to develop oxyflourfen for use in rice transplanting of adult rice seedling, split application with reduced rates, and development of expected to be tank-mixed or premixed with other perennial herbicides to obtain droad spectrum of weeds.

Herbicidal activity and characteristics of chrysophanic acid were investigated in semi-field condition. At early and middle post-emergence, Trifolium repens appeared to be very susceptible to chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. However, herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ estimated by visual injury to Artemisia princeps was not caused considerable phytotoxicity. Also by foliar application, the concentration of crysophanic acid for effectively control to Polygonum aviculare was much higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid to Echinochloa crus-galli, Cypres difformis, Setaria viridis, Digitaria sangguinalis, Bidens tripartita by foliar application was more effective at concentration ranges from 4,000 to $6,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. These results suggest that chrysophanic acid demanded for higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ to successful weed control in the field condition.

An efficient method of plant regeneration from Acanthopanax chiisanensis somatic embryos was developed. Cotyledonary somatic embryos were obtained in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium from embryogenic cell suspension cultures. They were desiccated for 0 to 72 hr and then cultured on MS medium containing NAA, BA, GA$_3$, (0-0.5mg/L). The highest multiple shoots formation (100％) was obtained from 72 hr desiccated somatic embryos on ifs medium with 0.5mg/L NAA＋0.5mg/L BA or 0.5 mg/L NAA＋0.5mg/L BA＋0.5mg/L GA$_3$ after 6 weeks culture. Plant conversion from multiple shoots was not high. The highest plant conversion from multiple shoots was obtained on 1/3MS medium with 1.0mg/L GA$_3$. Converted plantlets were transferred to ex vitro condition and the highest survival rate (70％) of the plantlets was obtained on plastic pots containing vermiculite and sand. These results indicate that micropropagation procedure can be applied for an efficient mass propagation of Acanthopanax chiisanensis.

Alfalfa field was established to investigate seasonal changes of nodule activity and contents of carbohydrates, and nitrogen, and also to examine their relationships in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Periodical sampling of alfalfa in cutting and uncutting plots was collected to measure growth of plants, development and activity of nodule, and content of carbohydrates and nitrogen in the third year following year of establishment. Nodule activity of alfalfa root appeared to early April, increased to a maximum in beginning of June (flowering stage), and then decreased and generally remained low from late-July to mid-August, and again increased from early September, and then decreased and generally remained low for the rest of growing season. After flowering, nodule weight tended to decrease slowly throughout the growing season. Until flowering stage, increase of dry weight was closely related with that of nodule activity. But after flowering the curve pattern of dry weight did not fit to that of nodule activity due to decrease of supply of assimilate to nodule, drought, and high temperature. Total nonstructural carbohydrates in roots were closely correlated with nodule weight and nodule activity. While, nitrogen contents in leaves were closely correlated with nodule weight and nodule activity. Also cutting on July prevented unnessesary losses of respiration during summer to provide rapid recovery of nodule activity.

The computer hardware development has provided many chances of emergence between art and technology. In many cases today's interactive artworks cannot be completed without audience's participation. The interactive production process with technical supplementation can be celled feedback. Mr. Nam Jun Paik showed 'Participant TV' that interacts with audience's response in real time. It means artwork changes with the constantly changing value from the data set from human visual perception. Dan Graham showed another feedback related work, which delays 5second playback in mirror that implies consequence of time. Today's media art has to sublimate coincidence, time ant audience into philosophical artwork through consonance that comes with video and sound as we can see from Bill Viola. Stelarc produced artworks. That use input data that is weak signals from brain, muscles. Through a terminal display with player, body expanded meaning of media. Jeffrey Shaw's 'Legible City' provided a fabrication of the reality with the interaction of bicycle's pedal speed and steering direction that is controlled by 4river. RE:MARK used microphone as input device as Edmond Couchot's 'Je same a la vent' and Nam Jun Paik's 'Participant TV' did. There is no communication without feedback between human being. The reality makes audience involved into artworks. That is the reason why feedback has to be natural. Through the feedback process, the originality of the idea is altered by audience. The feedback is not just part of flesh of artwork rather skeleton of it. Technological showoff cannot be art itself The perfection of technological application plan helps feedback that interacts with audience naturally in order that audience hoes not feel the feedback as artificial plan. Interactive media art has to be evolved into new media form with new integration feedback technology.

Several hydroxamic acid derivatives are synthesized to observe retinoidal effect and transactivation potential for $RAR{\alpha}/{\gamma]$ is screened. Among the synthesized compounds, N-(4-N-hydroxycarbamoyl )phenyl) [4-(tert-butyl )phenyl] carboxamide (2f) showed the best compatibility for potent $RAR{\alpha}/{\gamma].$ The acidic hydroxy of hydroxamic acid was easily deprotonated to form an enolate. A formed enolate has a similar role like that of all-trans-retinoic acid. This is the first example of the hydroxamic acid derivative with retinoidal activity. The retinoidal activity of 2f was further confirmed by enhancing activity for the expression of retinoid-responsive genes. To evaluate the possibility for anti.-aging agent, effect on the expression of MMP-1 was measured comparing with all-trans-retinoic acid and retinol. At 10 uM treatment, compound 2f inhibited the expression of MMP-1. These results suggest that new hydroxamic acid derivative 2f could be used as a promising anti-aging agent.

목 적: 인간의 배아줄기세포는 전분화능과 영속성을 가지고 있어 발생 및 분화에 관련된 기초 연구 뿐 만 아니라 재생의학, 약물검색 등에서도 매우 유용한 재료로 이용될 수 있다.본 연구에서는 유전체의 변형이 배아줄기세포주의 확립 효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 비정상적인 포배기 배아에서 내세포괴를 분리하여 배양하였다. 연구 방법: 인간의 체외수정 및 배아이식술에서 공여 받은1개 또는3개의 전핵이 관찰되는 비정상 수정란 (n=20)과 착상전 유전진단에서 이수성이 확인된 배아 (n=27)를 대상으로 하였다. 일반적인 immunosurgery 방법으로 영양배엽세포들을 제거하고 내세포괴를 분리한 후 PMEF 혹은 STO feeder 세포위에서 배양하였다. 배아줄기세포의 배양시스템을 검증하기 위해서 이미 확립된 Miz-hES1 cell line을 동시에 같은 조건 하에서 계대배양하였다. 결 과: 비정상 수정란에서 발생된 포배기 배아에서 분리한 1개의 내세포괴가 배아줄기세포와 유사한 colony를 형성하였으나, 계대배양에는 실패하였다. 이수성 배아에서 발생된 포배기 배아의 내세포괴 배양에서는 두개의 colony가 계대배양 중에 영양배엽세포의 형태로 분화되어 미분화 상태를 유지하지 못하였다. 동일한 시기와 조건 하에서 계대배양된 Miz-hES1 cell line이 미분화상태로 유지됨을 karyotyping (46, XY)과 immunophenotyping (positive in SSEA-3 and -4)으로 확인하였다. 결 론: 본 연구의 결과에서 비정상 수정란과 이수성 배아에서 발생된 포배기 배아에서 유래한 내세포괴는 배아줄기세포주 확립 및 미분화 상태 유지 능력이 매우 저조한 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서, 인간의 배아줄기세포주를 확립하는데 있어 배아의 정상여부가 중요한 요소로 작용할 것으로 생각된다.

Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) plays an important role in maintaining the visual function and the degeneration of the RPE causes several retinal degeneration disease. In order to fabricate the suitable carrier for RPE transplantation, the hybrid poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) film with hesperidin was prepared. Hesperidin has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. ARPE-19 was seeded on hesperidin/PLGA film and then, cell proliferation was determined by the MTT assay, and cell adhesion and cell morphology were confirmed by SEM. Also, RT-PCR was performed to confirm the expression of the specific genes, and AEC immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expression of RPE65. As a result, we confirmed that attachment, proliferation and phenotype maintenance of RPE cells were more excellent on hesperidin/PLGA film than PLGA film, thereby we were able to confirm the potential applications of hesperidin/PLGA film as tissue engineering carrier for regeneration of retina.

Since Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred in 2011, the nuclear energy policy of the international society has been in recession. However, In Korea, the nuclear-friendly policy had remained and even expanded over the last 60 years until the Park Geun-hye government. In other words, there was the path dependence of nuclear energy policy. Since the Moon Jae-in government that pledged to perform nuclear phase-out policy in 2017 was inaugurated, the nuclear-friendly policy began to swerve from the course of path dependence. Based on the mai logic of historical institutionalism, this study looked into the change of Korean nuclear policy by before and after the Fukushima nuclear accident. As the result of this research, the external situation of Fukushima Nuclear Accident became a critical turning point and led to a change in the government's policy on nuclear power. From an institutional perspective, it influenced the paradigm of nuclear power policy, policy decision structure, and laws of nuclear power. From a doer's perspective, it influenced political idea and social acceptability. Since Moon Jae-in government was inaugurated in 2017, nuclear phase-out policy has secured its institutional foundation and nuclear power policy has basically changed from nuclear-friendly policy to nuclear phase-out policy. Therefore, the energy policy of Moon Jae-in government gets out of the nuclear power based path dependency that previous governments pursued, keeps punctuated equilibrium, and changes to renewable energy oriented policy.
