The experimental study for extracorporeal preservation of the heart-lung preparation by autoperfusion system was performed in 10 dogs. Under intravenous Pentothal endotracheal anesthesia bilateral thoracotomies were performed. A 24F cannula connected to a plastic reservoir bag located 100 cm above the level of the heart was introduced into the aortic arch. Left subclavian, innominate artery, and descending aorta were ligated and divided. Both vena cavae were ligated and divided after the bag was half filled with blood. A 24F catheter inserted into right atrium and connected to the plastic bag in order to keep constant the preload. The thoracic trachea was intubated and the lungs were ventilated. The heart-lung preparations were removed en bloc and floated in a $34^{\circ}C$ bath of Hartmann solution. The preparations were observed for from 2 hours to 8 hours, with the average of 5.2 hours. Hemodynamic and hematologic variables were measured during preharvest and autoperfusion. The pH revealed severe respiratory alkalosis due to very low $PaCO_2$ during autoperfusion ; $PaO_2$ remained constant for 130-140 mmHg; $A-aDO_2$ increased markedly. The static inspiratory pressure [SIP] at late autoperfusion [6hr] increased significantly as compared with at early autoperfusion [2hr]. There was no difference between white blood cell counts from right atrium and those of left atrium. Heart rates remained constant for 110-120/min; cardiac outputs maintained to approximately 0.6L/min; mean aortic pressures, 75 mmHg; mean pulmonary arterial pressures, 15-18 mmHg; mean right atrial pressures, 9-13 mmHg; mean left atrial pressures, 12 mmHg lower than those of right atrium. Serum Na maintained with normal range during autoperfusion; K increased significantly; Ca decreased progressively. Hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased significantly during autoperfusion. The study demonstrated that stable hemodynamics could be maintained throughout the experiment and the preparation of the lung seemed to be inadequate, especially after 3-4 hours, such as high $A-aDO_2$, increased SIP, and scattered atelectasis and edema in their gross appearances.

Purpose: The use of an autogenous fat graft has become a common procedure in plastic surgery. However, questions remain concerning on the viability of fat cells and preservation method of aspirated fat. The purpose of this study was to examine the viability of fat cells stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ in the freeze for 1 year after harvest from abdominal liposuction. Methods: Eighteen adults (aged 24 to 65 years old, 16 female and 2 male) were recruited for this study. Harvested aspirated fat tissues were obtained by suction - assisted lipectomy and frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$ commercial refrigerator for one year (average 12.5 months). The viability off at cells in specimens were measured after thawing. The numbers of viable cells were measured on a fluorescence microscope after staining with fluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide. GPDH (Glycerol - 3 - phosphate dehydrogenase) activity was measured. Cell culture was done for 3 weeks. Results: There were no viable cells under the fluorescence microscope, no detectable GPDH activity, and no cultured cells. Conclusion: These findings suggest that aspirated fat after frozen storage for one year at $-20^{\circ}C$ freezer is inadequate to reuse.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is one of the artificial fertilization methods when only a few sperm are available for insemination, and an important tool for the preservation of genetic materials of endangered animal species, especially the male is infertile. Different from other species such as mice and pigs, the conventional ICSI method which uses spiked pipette for injection (Spike-ICSI) is exhibited low success rates in cattle because the bovinesperm head membrane is hard to break during injection procedure. We chose piezo-assisted ICSI (Piezo-ICSI) for the improvement of the injection procedure including sperm head membrane rupture and efficient puncture of the plasma membrane of the oocytes. In this experiment, we compared the efficacy of the bovine ICSI embryo production between the Piezo-ICSI and Spike-ICSI. The second polar body extrusion, pronuclear formation, cleavage and blastocyst formation were evaluated after implementation of two different ICSI techniques. The Piezo-ICSI tended to show comparably higher rates of the second polar body extrusion (41.7%), the pronuclei formation (42.9%) and the two-cell cleavage (41.4%) than Spike-ICSI does (33.3%, 28.6% and 23.5%, respectively) although there is no statistic significance between two groups. In addition, the blastocysts were only obtained from the Piezo-ICSI group (10.3%). Our finding shows that the Piezo-ICSI may be used as an artificial fertilization method in cattle when in vitro fertilization is not applicable.

In diagnosing a brain tumor, it is essential to obtain samples from many areas of the tumor. Although there are reports about the suitability of material obtained by cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator(CUSA), there is a paucity of reports regarding conventional intraoperative suction. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the suction fluid and the effect of different hemolytic fixatives. Intraoperative suction fluid was obtained from 2 pituitary adenomas and 2 choroid plexus carcinomas. In two cases of mixed astro-oligodendroglioma, one of glioblastoma multiforme and 3 of meningioma, the fluid was collected by CUSA. Each sample was divided into four bottles for the different fixatives such as 0.1N HCI, 10% acetic acid, 95% alcohol, and no additive. All cases were evaluated by the both cytologic smear and cell block preparations, and were reviewed with concomitant histologic diagnosis. The result showed a good correlation between the cytologic study and the histologic diagnosis and 95% alcohol was found to be superior to other fixatives in ceil preservation.

Fenvalerate에 대한 피라미(Zacco platypus)의 독성 수준을 반수 치사량 (LC50)을 이용하여 평가하고, 뇌 손상의 기작과 GFAP의 발현 정도를 광학현미경과 형광현미경을 이용하여 조사하였다. 피라미의 생존율은 fenvalerate의 농도가 높아질수록 낮아졌고 LC50은 $27.79{\mu}g/L$이었다. TUNEL assay결과 fenvalerate의 농도가 높아질수록 뇌 조직에서 세포고사가 증가하였으며, periventricular zone에서 GFAP 발현이 증가하였다. 따라서 세포고사는 fenvalerate에 의한 피라미 뇌 손상의 주요 기작 중 하나로 생각되며, periventricular zone에서 GFAP의 발현증가는 뇌 손상의 지표로 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 이는 pyrethroid계 살충제에 의한 어류의 뇌 손상기작 연구와 수생 생태계 보존을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The scanning electron microscopy is an ideal technique for examining plant surface at high resolution. Most hydrate samples, however, must be fix and dehydrate for observation in the scanning electron microscope. Because the microscopes operate under high vacuum, most specimens, especially biological samples, cannot withstand water removal by the vacuum system without morphological distortion. Cryo-techniques can observe in their original morphology and structure without various artifacts from conventional sample preparation. Rapid cooling is the method of choice for preparing plant samples for scanning electron microscopy in a defined physiological state. As one of cryo-technique, high-pressure freezing allows for fixation of native non-pretreated samples up to $200{\mu}M$ thick and 2 mm wide with minimal or no ice crystal damage for the freezing procedure. In this study, we could design to optimize structural preservation and imaging by comparing cryo-SEM and convention SEM preparation, and observe a fine, well preserved Arabidopsis stem's inner ultrastructure using HPF and cryo-SEM. These results would suggest a useful method of cryo-preparation and cryo-SEM for plant tissues, especially intratubule and vacuole rich structure.

발아현미란 적당한 온도와 수분, 산소 등을 공급해 현미의 싹을 1~5 mm까지 발아시킨 것으로 현미의 영양과 기능을 극대화시키면서 식미는 현미보다 훨씬 부드러운 쌀이다. 발아현미 등 발아곡식이 주목받기 시작한 것은 1993년 독일의 한 식품연구소에서 곡식의 발아시 발아전에는 없던 새로운 영양성분이 생겨나거나 증가한다는 연구발표가 계기가 되었다. 현미에는 식물성 섬유질을 비롯한 각종효소, 비타민, 미네랄 등 영양소가 다량 함유되어 몸에 좋다는 것은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 현미가 갖는 뛰어난 효능에도 불구하고 백미를 주식으로 하고 있는 이유는 현미의 조리가 어렵고 부드럽게 씹히지 않고 꺼칠하여 식미가 떨어지기 때문이다. 이러한 현미의 문제점을 개선하여 풍부한 영양을 고루 섭취하고 간편한 취사와 부드러운 조직감으로 식미 기호도를 높인 발아현미가 등장하였다. 따라서, 찹쌀과 멥쌀 발아현미에 대한 영양성분과 품질특성을 조사하여 발아현미밥 및 가공제품 개발에 대한 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다. 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 발아시킨 찹쌀 발아현미(수분함량 15.45%)와 멥쌀 발아현미(수분함량 15.02%)의 품질 특성중 amylose 함량은 각각 4.9%, 17.9%, 환원당은 4.91%, 2.28%, 유리당은 찹쌀 발아현미가 glucose 0.42%, sucrose 0.15%, maltose 0.27%이고 멥쌀 발아현미가 glucose 0.59%, sucrose 0.50%, maltose 0.24%였다. 찹쌀과 멥쌀 발아현미의 색차값은 각각 L값 60.30, a값 2.12, b값 23.52과 L값, 59.51, a값 3.15, b값 23.04이다. 호화도는 1.67%, 5.21%이고, 조직감중 hardness는 7.53 kgf, 8.93 kgf로 멥쌀 발아현미가 높았다. 찹쌀 발아현미의 아밀로그램 특성은 호화 초기온도가 42$^{\circ}C$였으며, breakdown값은 94, set back값은 -48이었으며, 멥쌀 발아현미의 특성은 호화 초기온도가 7$0^{\circ}C$였으며, breakdown값은 0, set back값은 123이었다. 비타민 E 함량은 찹쌀 211.79 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, 멥쌀 310.59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg이고, 총식이섬유 함량은 4.21%, 3.17%이다. 발아현미 원곡간의 향기패턴은 차이가 나지 않았으며 발아현미 제조 후 찹쌀, 멥쌀 모두 이취 성분은 거의 없었다. 발아현미의 절단 내면 미세구조를 관찰한 결과 찹쌀 발아현미 cell이 멥쌀 발아현미보다 작았으며, 표면 구조도 찹쌀 발아현미가 더욱 조밀하였다.

유과의 제조과정중 찹쌀의 장기간 수침시 미생물적 효소 작용에 의해 자연적으로 찹쌀 성분이 변화됨으로써 이들 변화가 유과의 독특한 질감 특성에 기여함이라는 사실에 기초하여, 본 연구에서는 효소 처리 및 미생물 접종에 의한 인위적인 방법을 통해 단시간 내에 이들과 유사한 성분 변화를 나타낼 수 있는 변형 찹쌀가루를 개발하여 유과 제조 가능성을 알아봄으로써 유과의 제조공정을 단축시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 1. 각 처리시료에 따른 유과의 팽화도골 비교한 결과, 효소 처리군중 pH6.5$\longrightarrow$3.5, 35$^{\circ}C$(T1) 과 45$^{\circ}C$(T2) 처리군에서 28일간 수침시켜 제조한 유과와 비교될 만한 유사한 팽화도를 나타내었다. 2. 유과의 경도는 효소처리 시킬 경우 pH7.5$\longrightarrow$3.5와 $65^{\circ}C$처리군을 제외하고는 28일간 수침시켜 제조한 유과보다 부드러웠으나 peak 수에 있어서는 pH6.5$\longrightarrow$3.5처리군을 제외하고는 모든 처리군에서 감소하여 아삭아삭한 정도는 다소 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 팽화도와 결도 결과와 유사하게 유과의 외관과 미세구조 역시 pH6.5$\longrightarrow$13.5(P1), 35$^{\circ}C$(T2)와 45$^{\circ}C$ (T3) 처리군에서 바람직한 유과의 외관을 나타내었고 미세하고 균일한 기공이 관찰되었다. 4. 유과의 관능검사 결과에서도, volume(용적 증가율), cell uniformity(기포의 균일한 정도)와 overall desirability(전체적으로 바람직한 정도)의 경우 효소처리시킨 시료중 pH6.5$\longrightarrow$3.5, 35$^{\circ}C$(T1)과 45$^{\circ}C$(T3)처리군이 28일간 수침시켜 제조한 유과와 비교될 만한 높은 점수를 보여 이를 처리군에서 바람직한 특성을 지닌 유과 제조가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

As utilization of radiation in medicine, industry and biochemical research increases, the protection against radiation damage has become an important issue. Natural products such as herbal medicines are beginning to receive attention as modifiers on the radiation response. In the present study, the protective effect of a herb, Menthae Herba, against radiation-induced DNA damage was evaluated using alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE; comet assay) in the mouse peripheral blood Iymphocytes and the micronucleus formation test in the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The tail moment, which was a marker of DNA damage in the SCGE, and the frequency of micronuclei was decreased in groups treated with Mentae Herba extract before exposure to 200 cGy of gamma-ray. We also confirmed its activities to scavenge DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. These experiments demonstrated that Menthae Herba was effective at reducing the radiation-induced damage of DNA and scavenging free radicals. It is plausible that scavenging of free radicals by Menthae Herba may have played an important role in providing the protection against the radiation-induced damage to the DNA. These results indicated that Menthae Herba might be a useful radioprotector and that radical scavenging appears to be one of the mechanisms of radiation protection.

Skin toner와 skin lotion의 두 가지 화장품 formulation에 기존의 파라벤류 방부제 대신 황금 (黃芩) 추출물 (1.0 wt%)을 첨가하고 Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) 및 Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) 균주를 접종하였을 때 이 균주들은 7일 이내에 99.9% 이상의 사멸율을 보여 황금추출물이 CTFA기준을 만족하는 항균력이 있음을 확인하였다. 다만 skin lotion에 접종된 Candida albicans의 경우 사멸율은 CTFA기준에 약간 미달하는 99.8%이었다. 또한 황금추출물의 농도가 1.0 wt% 이하일 때 균주의 생존율은 그람 양성균인 P. aeruginosa가 가장 높고 그람 음성균인 P. aeruginosa가 가장 낮았다. 전계방출형 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)을 이용한 세포형태변화 관찰 결과 황금추출물이 P. aeruginosa에 대하여 더 큰 방부력을 갖는 것은 이 균주의 세포막이 황금추출물에 의해 더 심하게 손상되기 때문으로 사료된다. 고농도의 황금추출물이 더 높은 항산화 효과를 나타냈으며 1,000 ppm에서 80%정도의 SOD-유사활성을 나타내었다.
