Background: Memory T lymphocytes of the immune system provide long-term protection in response to bacterial or viral infections/immunization. Ag concentration has also been postulated to be important in determining whether T cell differentiation favors effector versus memory cell development. In the present study we hypothesized that naive Ag-specific $CD4^+$ T cells briefly stimulated with different Ag doses at the primary exposure could affect establishment of memory cell pool after secondary immunization. Methods: To assess this hypothesis, the response kinetics of DO11.10 TCR $CD4^+$ T cells primed with different Ag doses in vitro was measured after adoptive transfer to naive BALB/c mice. Results: Maximum expansion was shown in cells primarily stimulated with high doses of ovalbumin peptide $(OVA_{323-339})$, whereas cells in vitro stimulated with low dose were expanded slightly after in vivo secondary exposure. However, the cells primed with low $OVA_{323-339}$ peptide dose showed least contraction and established higher number of memory cells than other treated groups. When the cell division was analyzed after adoptive transfer, the high dose Ag-stimulated donor cells have undergone seven rounds of cell division at 3 days post-adoptive transfer. However, there was very few division in naive and low dose of peptide-treated group. Conclusion: These results suggest that primary stimulation with a low dose of Ag leads to better memory $CD4^+$ T cell generation after secondary immunization. Therefore, these facts imply that optimally primed $CD4^+$ T cells is necessary to support effective memory pool following administration of booster dose in prime-boost vaccination.

0.935Ba$TiO_3$-0.065($Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5}$)$TiO_3+xmol%MnO_2$ (BBNTM-x) ceramics with $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05$ were fabricated with muffled sintering by a modified synthesis process. Their microstructure and enhanced positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) characteristics were systematically investigated in order to obtain lead-free high TC PTCR thermistors. All specimens showed a perovskite structure with a tetragonal symmetry and no secondary phase was observed. Grain growth was achieved when the doped MnO2 was increased above 0.02 mol%. This is due to the effect of positive Mn ion doping as an acceptor compensating a Ba vacancy occurred by the higher donor dopant concentration of $Bi^{3+}$ ion. Especially, enhanced PTCR characteristics of the extremely low ${\rho}_{RT}$ of $9\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, PTCR jump of $5.1{\times}10^3$, ${\alpha}$ of 15.5%/$^{\circ}C$ and high $T_C$ of $167^{\circ}C$ were achieved for the BBNTM-0.04 ceramics.

Oocyte donation program developed to reach the pregnancy in those patients suffering from premature ovarian failure or surgery induced menopause, particularly in their reproductive age. With technical advances and popularity of ART (assisted reproductive technology), the indication of oocyte donation program extended to low responders, and even to naturally menopaused patients that has led them quite successfully to getting in pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate which one is involved in the decline of fertility between the oocyte and uterine factor. One hundred five cycles of oocyte donation program were performed in 84 patients from Jan., 1993 to Dec., 1996. Oocytes were donated from healthy, young, fertile anonymous donors or relatives or infertile patients with supernumerary oocytes. The study population was divided into 3 groups according to the age of recipients. Group 1 was less than 35 years old, Group 2 was between 35 to 39 years old, and Group 3 was more than 39 years old. The results were as follows: The mean age of oocyte donor was $31.5{\pm}3.3$ (range; 25-36). The mean concentration of basal serum FSH and peak serum estradiol were not different among groups. The mean number of oocytes retrieved from donors, embryos transferred to recipients, and fertilization rate were not different among groups. The clinical pregnancy rate was 37.3% in Group 1, 31.6% in Group 2, and 31.6% in Group 3, respectively. The spontaneous abortion rate was 16.0% in Group 1, 16.7% in Group 2, and 16.7 in Group 3, respectively. The multiple pregnancy rate was 20.0% in Group 1, 16.7% in Group 2, 16,7% in Group 3, respectively, The implantation rate was 11.3% in Group 1, 10.3% in Group 2 and 10.0% in Group 3, respectively. All of the pregnancy outcomes were not different statistically among groups. In conclusion, endometrial receptivity does not seem to be impaired as age increases with transfer of good quality embryos and adequate endometrial preparation.

Nitric oxide (NO) has an important role in oocyte maturation and embryonic development in mammals. This study examined the effect of exogenous NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) in a maturation medium on meiotic progression and embryonic development after parthenogenesis (PA) and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in pigs. When oocytes were exposed to $0.1{\mu}M$ SNAP for first 22 h of in vitro maturation (IVM) in Experiment 1, SNAP significantly improved blastocyst development in both defined and standard follicular fluid-supplemented media compared to untreated control (48.4 vs. 31.7-42.5%). SNAP treatment significantly arrested meiotic progression of oocytes at the germinal vesicle stage at 11 h of IVM (61.2 vs. 38.7%). However, there was no effect on meiotic progression at 22 h of IVM (Experiment 2). In Experiment 3, when oocytes were treated with SNAP at 0.001, 0.1 and $10{\mu}M$ during the first 22 h of IVM to determine a suitable concentration, $0.1{\mu}M$ SNAP (54.2%) exhibited a higher blastocyst formation than 0 and $10{\mu}M$ SNAP (36.6 and 36.6%, respectively). Time-dependent effect of SNAP treatment was evaluated in Experiment 4. It was observed that SNAP treatment for the first 22 h of IVM significantly increased blastocyst formation compared to no treatment (57.1% vs. 46.2%). Antioxidant effect of SNAP was compared with that of cysteine. SNAP treatment significantly improved embryonic development to the blastocyst stage (49.1-51.5% vs. 34.4-37.5%) irrespective of the presence or absence of cysteine (Experiment 5). Moreover, SNAP significantly increased glutathione (GSH) content and inversely decreased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and mitochondrial oxidative activity in IVM oocytes. SNAP treatment during IVM showed a stimulating effect on in vitro development of SCNT embryos (Experiment 7). These results demonstrates that SNAP improves developmental competence of PA and SCNT embryos probably by maintaining the redox homeostasis through increasing GSH content and mitochondrial quality and decreasing ROS in IVM oocytes.

n형 SiC 반도체에서 적층 결함이 열전 물성에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. ��-SiC 분말 성형체를 질소 분위기에서 1600~2100 ℃, 20~120분간 열처리해서 30~42 %의 기공률을 갖는 다공질 SiC 반도체를 제작하였다. X선 회절 분석으로 적층 결함량, 격자 스트레인 및 격자 상수를 산출하였고, 미세 구조 분석을 위해서 기공률 및 비표면적 측정과 함께, 주사 전자현미경 (SEM), 투과 전자현미경 (TEM) 및 고분해능 전자현미경 (HREM) 등을 관찰하였다. Ar 분위기 550~900 ℃에서 도전율과 Seebeck 계수를 측정 및 산출하였다. 열처리 온도가 높을수록, 처리 시간이 길어질수록 캐리어 농도 증가 및 입자와 입자간의 연결성 향상에 의해 도전율이 향상되었다. 도너로 작용하는 질소의 고용으로 Seebeck 계수는 음(-)의 값을 나타내었고, 도전율과 마찬가지로 열처리 온도 및 시간이 상승함에 따라 Seebeck 계수의 절대 값이 증가하였다. 이는 적층 결함의 감소, 즉 입자 및 결정 성장과 함께 적층 결함 밀도의 감소에 의해 포논의 평균 자유 행정이 증가해서 결과적으로 포논-드랙 효과에 의한 Seebeck 계수의 향상으로 나타난 것으로 판단된다.

다공성 담체에 형성된 미생물을 이용한 질소화합물 제거를 위하여 질산화와 탈질의 연계처리에 의한 연구를 수행하였다. $NH_4-N$의 질산화 및 황담체를 전자공여체로 제공하여 독립영양 탈질이 유도되도록 실험을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론이 도출되었다. 유입 농도 및 HRT의 변화에 따라 미생물에 대한 $NH_4-N$의 부하량 ($F/M_N$비)이 $0.0062{\sim}0.034gNH_4-N/g\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$의 범위에서 증가할 경우 부하량 증가에 따른 질산화 율은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 같은 범위의 $F/M_N$비(유입부하)일 경우 HRT 6시간보다 8시간으로 운전하였을 때가 알칼리도 소모량이 더 높게 나타났다. 따라서 유입 $NH_4-N$ 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가된 유입부하가 질산화 효율 증가에 미치는 영향보다는 같은 $F/M_N$비(유입부하)일 때 유입유량 변화로 인한 체류시간이 증가할수록 더 질산화의 효율 향상에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. EBCT의 변화에 따른 탈질효율은 8.4hr 이상으로 유지될 때는 평균 25% 이상으로 나타났으나 4.6hr으로 줄어들 때는 평균 5%로 크게 감소함으로써 EBCT는 최소한 8.4hr 이상을 유지하는 것이 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 탈질효율은 $NO_3-N$의 황담체 단위체적 당 유입부하가 $0.5{\sim}2.0kg\;NO_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$의 범위에서 낮아질수록 반비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose of study: Partial thickness skin graft is the golden standard regimen for full-thickness skin defect caused by burn or trauma. However, in case of extensive burns of more than 50% of total body surface area, the donor site is not sufficient to cover all defects. As a second choice, allograft, xenograft and synthetic materials have been used to treat skin defect. Among them the amniotic membrane(AM) was used as a biological dressing for centuries because of its potential for wound healing. In this study, quantification of EGF in AM and effect of AM-collagen complex on full thickness skin defects was examined. Materials & Methods: The concentration of EGF in fresh, deep frozen and freeze-dried AM was evaluated by ELISA. EGF-R immunostaining was performed in freeze-dried AM. SD rats weighing 250${\sim}$300g was used for wound healing experiment. Three full thickness skin defects(28mm diameter) were made on dorsal surface of SD rat. The control group was covered by Vaselin gauze and AM-collagen complex and $Terudermis^{(R)}$. was grafted in two other defects. Healing area, Cinamon's score were evaluated before biopsy. Grafted sites were retrieved at 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after operation. H & E and Factor VIII immunohistochemical stain was performed to evaluate the microscopic adhesion and structural integrity and microvessel formation. Results: 1. EGF concentration of fresh, deep frozen and freeze-dried AM showed similar level and EGF-R was stained in epithelial layer of freeze-dried AM. 2. At 4 weeks after grafting, the healing area of AM-collagen and Terudermis group was 99.29${\pm}$0.71% and 99.19${\pm}$0.77 of original size. However, that of control group was 24.88${\pm}$2.90. 3. The Cinamon's score of AM-Collagen and $Terudermis^{(R)}$. group at 4 weeks was 15.6${\pm}$1.26 and 14.6${\pm}$3.13 and that of control group was 3.7${\pm}$0.95. Significant difference was observed among control and experimental groups(p<0.05). 4. Histologic examination revealed that AM protected leukocyte infiltration and epithelial migration was nearly completed at 4 weeks. $Terudermis^{(R)}$. group showed mild neutrophil infiltration until 2 weeks and completion of epithelization at 4 weeks. Control group showed massive leukocyte infiltration until 4 weeks. 5. Microvessels were increased sharply at 1 week and control group at 1 and 4 week showed significant differences with $Terudermis^{(R)}$. group of same interval(p<0.05) but no differences were found with AM group(p<0.05). Conclusion: EGF and EGF-R were well preserved in freeze-dried AM. AM attached to collagen acted as excellent biologic dressing which had similar effect with $Terudermis^{(R)}$. AM showed anti-inflammatory action and healing was completed at 4 weeks after full-thickness skin defect.

하천수를 홍수터에 살포하면 퇴적층을 통과하는 동안 미생물의 작용에 의해 유기물과 질소가 동시에 제거될 수 있는데, 이러한 미생물의 작용에 미치는 근권의 효과를 홍수터 모형을 이용하여 검정하였다. 홍수터 모형은 길이와 작용에 미치는 근권의 효과를 홍수터 모형을 이용하여 검정하였다. 홍수터 모형은 길이와 직경이 각각 135 및 30 cm인 PVC관에 낙동강에서 채취한 홍수터 퇴적물을 채우고 표면에 잡초가 자라는 모형과 자라지 않는 모형으로 구분하여 제작하였다. 하천수는 $68.0L\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ 유속으로 실험기간 동안 표면에 연속적으로 살포하였으며, 모형 내에서 하천수의 흐름과 미생물 반응이 정상상태(Steady state)에 도달한 이후 4주 동안 모형의 여러 깊이에서 물 시료를 채취하여 $NO_3$, $NH_4$, 용존산소, 화학적산소요구량 및 산화환원전위를 측정하였다. 표면에 잡초가 자라는 모형에서는 30 cm 깊이의 표층에서 탈질 작용이 일어날 수 있는 환원상태가 발달하였으며, 30 cm 깊이의 표층에서 탈질 작용이 일어날 수 있는 환원상태가 발달하였으며, 30 cm 깊이에서 측정된 COD와 $NO_3-N$ 농도는 유입수 중의 18.2와 $9.8mg\;L^{-1}$에 비해 각각 5.2와 $0.9mg\;L^{-1}$으로 감소하였다. $NO_3$ 제거효과는 잡초가 자라는 모형에서 현저히 높았으며, 이러한 효과는 잡초에 의한 직접적인 흡수와 근권에서의 유기물 공급과 산소의 신속한 소모에 따른 활발한 탈질작용에 기인하고, 잡초가 없는 모형에서 $NO_3$의 제거가 충분히 일어나지 못한 것은 전자수용체인 유기물의 부족 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 슬러지 발생과 화학약품의 사용이 필요없는 홍수터 여과 기술은 부영양상태의 하천수를 친환경적으로 처리할 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있을 것이다.
