The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of GnRH or estradiol in a CIDR-based timed Al (TAI) protocol on follicular turnover, synchronized ovulation and pregnancy rates in Holstein cows. Cows were treated at random stages of the estrus cycle with an insertion of an intravigal progesterone (1.9 g) device (CIDR, Day 0) and either no other treatment (control group; n=10), injection of 100 ug fertirelin acetate (GnRH group; n=10) or 4 mg estradiol benzoate (estradiol group; n=10). Seven days later devices were removed and an injection of 25 mg $PGF_{2$\alpha$}$ was administered. On Day 9, 100 ug GnRH was administered. Cows received a fixed-time insemination 16 h after injection of the GnRH. (중략)

The feasibility study of the application of the photoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) was investigated in the photoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV process with $TiO_2$ photoelectrode and DSA (dimensionally stable anode) electrode. Three types of $TiO_2$ photoelectrode were used. Thermal oxidation electrode (Th-$TiO_2$) was made by oxidation of titanium metal sheet; sol-gel electrode (5G-$TiO_2$) and powder electrode (P-$TiO_2$) were made by coating and then heating a layer of titania sol-gel and slurry $TiO_2$ on titanium sheet. DSA electrodes were Ti and Ru/Ti electrode. The relative performance for RhB decolorization of each of the photoelecoodes and DSA electrodes is: Ru/Ti > Ti > SG-$TiO_2$ > Th-$TiO_2$. It was observed that photoelectrocatalytic decolorization of RhB is similar to the sum of the photocatalytic and electrolytic decolorization. Therefore the synergetic effect was not showed in pthotoelectrocatalytic reaction. $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ and NaCl showed different decolorization effect between pthotoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV reaction. In the presence of the NaCl, RhB decolorization of Ru/Ti DSA electrode was higher than that of the other photoelectrode and Ti electrode. Optimum current, NaCl dosage and UV lamp power of the electrolytic/UV process (using Ru/Ti electrode) were 0.75 A, 0.5 g/L and 16 W, respectively.

Background: rhGM-CSF has been shown to enhance the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells and to promote keratinocyte growth. This study was tried to evaluate the effect of rhGM-CSF dressing on the uninfected wounds. Methods: Thirty Sprague-dawley white mice(250-300g) were selected in this study. The number of wound with the diameter of 5 mm, was 3 in left and 3 in right at the symmetric sites, respectively. The site of rhGM-CSF dressing was decided by a randomization. rhGM-CSF($Leucogen^{(R)}$) was diluted in the distilled water($5{\mu}g/mL$). The experimental wound group was dressed by l mL of distilled water mixed with rhGM-CSF and control wound group was dressed by l mL of distilled water. The dressing was done, every 24 hours. The criteria of comparison were the duration of wound healing duration, histologic findings and the bacterial culture of wound sites. Results: The duration of wound healing was $10.3{\pm}1.7days$ in experimental group and $10.2{\pm}2.8days$ in control group, without significant difference. There was no specific difference of histologic findings between both groups. The pathogen was not found, at all. Conclusion: It seems to be that rhGM-CSF has no prominent effect on the uninfected wound healing in the mice without immune suppression.

Objective: The Purpose of the study was to investigate the bone morphogenic protein expression of rhBMP-2(recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2) as singnaling molecule and ${\beta}-TCP$(Tricalcium phosphate) as a bone substitute and carrier medium of rhBMP-2. Materials and Methods: 16 rabbits divided into 2 group of each 8 rabbit. Two standardized bone defect, round bilateral defect was made in the cranium of the 8 rabbit of first group, and was grafted with $150{\sim}500{\mu}m$ diameter ${\beta}-TCP$ 0.25g in one side, which was soaked with rhBMP-2, and autogenous bone was grafted on another side as a positive control. Second group of 8 rabbit, only ${\beta}-TCP$ was grafted with same size and same manner. After 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, specimen was taken for microscopic immunohiostochemical and histomorphometric analysis. Result: Grafting ${\beta}-TCP$ with rhBMP show the early formation of the bone regenerative factor (BMP-4) and more quantity of new bone formation than only use of ${\beta}-TCP$ (8,12 week), even show less new bone formation than autogenous bone. Conclusion : The experimental study result that ${\beta}-TCP$ graft combination with rhBMP-2 as a delivery system is an effective with osteoinductive capacity and biodegradable properties, so that provide clinical availibility of composite use in reconstruction of bony defect.

The secondary effects of pencycuron on cell membrane of Rhizoctonia solani AG4 were investigated by the observation of giant protoplast formation and lipid peroxidation. Compared to protoplasts of R. solani R-C (sensitive strain) and Rh-131 (non-sensitive strain) increased in their size by 2.0-3.5 times 12 h after incubation in potato-dextrose broth containing novozyme (7 mg/$m\ell$) and $\beta$-glucuronidase ($60\mu\textrm{g}/$\textrm{ml}) with 0.6 M mannitol (pH 5.2). The increase of protoplast size in R-C was slightly inhibited from $13.8\textrm{mg}/\textrm{ml}$ without pencycuron to 10.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with 1.0$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of pencycuron. However, the size of giant protoplast of Rh-131 was not affected by the pencycuron treatment. Both strains R-C and Rh-131 did not exhibit the lipid peroxidation 12 h after the application of 1.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ pencycuron. The remarkable peroxidation of membrane lipid was observed only in R-C 24 h after pencycuron application, but not in Rh-131. Althought the inhibition of giant protoplast formation and the membrane lipid peroxidation were observed only in the sensitive strain R-C by pencycuron, it is difficult to conclude that these are the primary mechanism of pencycuron. The mild activity of pencycuron on the inhibition of giant protoplast formation and late membrane lipid peroxidation in the fungicide-sensitive strain did not noincid with the dramatic activity of pencycuron in R. solani. Therefore, our results suggest that inhibition of giant protoplast formation and membrane lipid peroxidation is the secondary effect of pencycuron.

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is important medicinal plant but requires 4-year cultivation for root harvest because of slow growth. In contrast, ginseng callus and hairy roots grow vigorously and may Produce the same or more biologically active compounds for human health than natural ginseng roots. Therefore, ginseng callus and hairy roots can be used for commercial purposes. Polyacetylene, one of anti-cancer compounds in ginseng, was not detected in the callus cultured on the medium containing 2, 4-B, but cells derived from the callus growth was excellent, The ginseng calli cultured on the medium containing 2mg11 CPA and 0.05mg/1 BA was grown vigorously and produced panaxydol, one of ginseng polyacetylene. The biosynthesis of polyacetylene in callus was not affected by addition of NAA and sucrose in media. The SH medium was better than the MS medium for ginseng callus growth and biosynthesis of panaxydol. Another ginseng anti-cancer compounds, ginsenoside-Rg$_3$, Rh$_1$and Rh$_2$ were detected in ginseng hairy roots by heat treatment. Those of Panax ginseng were obtained after root disks of three-year old roots were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes Rl000 $A_4$T in dark condition after one month of culture. The optimum growth of hairy roots was achieved in the culture of 1/2 MS liquid medium in dark(22$^{\circ}C$) under 60 rpm gyratory shaking. Hairy roots grew well in 5 ι Erlenmeyer flasks, 1ι roller drums, 10ι jar-fermenters, and especially in 20ι air-lift .culture vessels. All heat treatments had remarkably different ginsenoside contents. Eleven ginsenosides were determined in heat treatment, eight in freeze dried hairy roots. Contents of ginsenoside-Rbl , Rb2, Rc, Rd. Re, Rf, and Rg$_1$tested in all heat treatments were less than those of freeze dried hairy roots. Contents of glnsenoside-Rg$_2$ in heat treatment for 1 hour at 105$^{\circ}C$ was 4.92mg/g dry wt, 3.9 times higher than 1.27 mg/g dry wt of freeze dried hairy roots. The optimum condition of heat treatment for the production of ginsenoside-Rg$_3$and Rhl was 2 hours at 105$^{\circ}C$, and ginsenoside content was 2.58mg/g dry wt and 3.62mg/g dry wt, respectively. The production of ginsenoside-Rh2 was the highest in heat treatment for 2 hours at 105$^{\circ}C$ among treatments examined, and ginsenoside-Rh$_2$content was 1.08mg/g dry wt.

수분이 복합재를 통하여 투과되는 정도를 고찰하기 위하여 $20^{\cire}C$, 90%RH의 온/습도를 유지하는 수조를 제작하였고, 이 수조내에 보관한 복합재 연소관의 실린더 벽면으로 투과되는 습기를 측정하기 위하여 연소관 내에 습도 센서를 투입하여 상대습도를 직접 측정하였다. 습기의 투과는 내부에 라이너/인슬레이션이 피복 되거나 또는 추진제가 충전된 경우 많은 감소효과를 보였다. Epoxy filament winding으로 제조된 순수 복합재 연소관의 경우 수조에 넣고 평형에 도달한 후로부터 약 8개월 간의 습기 투과 상태를 볼 때 벽면을 통하여 들어가는 water vapor flux는 $20^{\cire}C$, 90%RH에서 평균적으로 2.88${\times}$$10^{-9}$g/$\textrm{m}^2$sec로 나타났다. 이때 습기가 투과되는 연소관의 국지점을 평판으로 가정하고 Fick's law를 이용하여 구한 습기에 대한 복합재의 확산계수는 D=7.98${\times}$$10^{-7}$$\textrm{mm}^2$/sec 였다. 밀폐된 장치 내의 습도 변화를 직접 측정하는 본 시험 방법은 실린더 형태 및 밀폐된 용기를 이루는 곡면형 재료의 환경에 따른 습기 투과량 및 재료의 확산 계수 측정에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

The Glu/$Asp^{7.32}$ residue in extracellular loop 3 of the mammalian type-I gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) interacts with $Arg^8$ of GnRH-I, conferring preferential ligand selectivity for GnRH-I over GnRH-II. Previously, we demonstrated that the residues (Ser and Pro) flanking Glu/$Asp^{7.32}$ also play a role in the differential agonist selectivity of mammalian and non-mammalian GnRHRs. In this study, we examined the differential antagonist selectivity of wild type and mutant GnRHRs in which the Ser and Pro residues were changed. Cetrorelix, a GnRH-I antagonist, and Trptorelix-2, a GnRH-II antagonist, exhibited high selectivity for mammalian type-I and non-mammalian GnRHRs, respectively. The inhibitory activities of the antagonists were dependent on agonist concentration and subtype. Rat GnRHR in which the Ser-Glu-Pro (SEP) motif was changed to Pro-Glu-Val (PEV) or Pro-Glu-Ser (PES) had increased sensitivity to Trptorelix-2 but decreased sensitivity to Cetrorelix. Mutant bullfrog GnRHR-1 with the SEP motif had the reverse antagonist selectivity, with reduced sensitivity to Trptorelix-2 but increased sensitivity to Cetrorelix. These findings indicate that the residues flanking $Glu^{7.32}$ are important for antagonist as well as agonist selectivity.

유전자 재조합으로 제조한 사람 $interleukin-1{\beta}$ $(rhIL-1{\beta})$는 생쥐의 calvarial 골세포계에서 분리한 골아세포에 여러 가지 조절기능을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서 $rhIL-1{\beta}$가 농도의존적으로 골세포에 영향을 주는지 해명하기 위하여 배양된 골아세포의 세포증식과 prostaglandin $E_2$합성 그리고 plasminogen activator활성에 대한 영향을 검토한 결과 이들을 촉진하였다. 그러나 비타민D에 따라 반응하는 골아세포의 특징으로 알려진 osteocalcin생합성과 alkaine phosphatase활성의 유도생성은 $rhIL-1{\beta}$에 의해 오히려 길항적이었다. 이러한 결과는 골세포대사의 병리학적인 조절과정에서 $IL-1{\beta}$가 골다공증의 병리학적 역할을 규명하는 새로운 결과이다. $IL-1{\beta}$에 의한 골흡수현상이 생쥐의 calvarial골세포에서 calcitonin처리로 크게 억제되어, 결과적으로 이러한 결과는 $IL-1{\beta}$에 의해 유발되는 골재흡수란 osteoclast에 의한다는 사실을 시사하였다. 한편, 한방에서 골다공증치료와 예방에 사용되는 대영전-자하거추출물의 기능을 해명하기 위하여, $IL-1{\beta}$-유발 $PGE_2$합성만을 특이적으로 저해하였다. 또한, 대영전-자하거 extract을 1시간 동안 여러 가지 농도로 전처리하고 다음으로 $PGE_2$-유도시약을 처리한 결과, $PGE_2$합성을 억제하였으며 동시에 $IL-1{\beta}$에 의해 유도된 plasminogen 의존적인 fibrinolysis을 억제하는 보호효과가 인정되었다. 한편, calcitonin처리가 $IL-1{\beta}$-촉진 골재흡수에 대한 저해활성을 보였으며 이러한 결과들은 calcitonin과 대영전-자하거 extract이 osteoclast매개성 골재흡수의 억제에 핵심적인 역할을 함을 시사하며 한방치료제로서의 근거를 제시하였다고 사료된다.

1년령의 중성화된 수컷 요크셔테리어와 7년령의 암컷 푸들이 골절의 지연유합으로 내원하였다. 요크셔테리어의 경우 오른쪽 요골과 척골의 원위부가 골절되었고, 푸들의 경우 왼쪽 경골과 비골의 원위부가 골절되었다. 두 환자에서 신체검사 및 방사선검사를 통해 골절의 유합이 지연되고 있음을 확인하였다. 골절부는 금속판 및 나사못으로 고정시키고 자가해면질골을 골절 틈새에 이식하였다. 또한 빠른 골유합을 위해 $20{\mu}g$의 rh-BMP 2 가 포함된 matrigel을 골절부에 주입하였다. 수술 후 방사선검사를 통해 골절부의 치유 상태를 확인하였다. 장기간의 방사선검사에서 두 마리 모두 빠른 골유합을 보였다. 첫 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 2주째에 요골과 척골 골절 틈새에 골밀도가 증가하였다. 20주째에는 골절선이 더 이상 관찰되지 않았으며, 정상 외관을 회복하였다. 두 번째 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 11주째에 골절 치유가 진행되고 있음이 확인되었다. 이 두 증례 모두 예상한 것보다 골절의 치유가 빠르게 일어났다. 따라서 rh-BMP 2와 matrigel은 지연유합된 골절의 치유를 촉진하는데 효과가 있다고 생각된다.
