Treatment of valvular heart disease with valve replacement has been one of the most popular procedures in cardiac surgery recently. Although, first effort was directed toward the prosthetic valve, it soon became popular that bioprosthesis, the valvular xenograft, was prefered in the majority cases. Valvular xenograft has some superiority to the artificial prosthetic valve in some points of thromboembolism and hemolytic anemia, and it also has some inferiority of durability, immunologic reaction and resistance to Infection. Tremendous efforts were made to cover the inferiority with several methods of collection, preservation, and valve mounting of the porcine valve or pericardium of the calf, and also with surgical technique of the valvular xenograft replacement. Auther has collected 320 porcine aortic valves immediately after slaughter, and aortic cusps were coapted with cotton balls in the Valsalva sinuses to protect valve deformity after immersion in the Hanks' solution, and oxidation, cross-linking and reduction procedures were completed after the proposal of Carpentier in 1972. Well preserved aortic valves were suture mounted in the hand-made tissue valve frame of 19, 21, and 23 mm J.d., and also in the prosthetic vascular segment of 19 mm Ld. with 4-0 nylon sutures after careful trimming of the aortic valves. Completed valves were evaluated with bacteriologic culture, pressure tolerance test with tolerane gauge, valve durability test in the saline glycerine mixed solution with tolerance test machine in the speed of 300 rpm, and again with pathologic changes to obtain following results: 1. Bacteriologic culture of the valve tissue in five different preservation method for two weeks revealed excellent and satisfactory result in view of sterilization including 0.65% glutaraldehyde preservation group for one week bacteriologic culture except one tissue with Citobacter freundii in 75% ethanol preserved group. 2. Pressure tolerance test was done with an apparatus composed of V-connected manometer and pressure applicator. Tolerable limit of pressure was recorded when central leaking jet of saline was observed. Average pressure tolerated in each group was 168 mmHg in glutaraldehyde, 128 mmHg in formaldehyde, 92 mmHg in Dakin's solution, 48 mmHg in ethylene oxide gas, and 26 mmHg in ethanol preserved group in relation to the control group of Ringer's 90 mmHg respectively. 3. Prolonged durability test was performed in the group of frame mounted xenograft tissue valve with 300 up-and-down motion tolerance test machine/min. There were no specific valve deformity or wearing in both 19, 21, and 23 mm valves at the end of 3 months (actually 15 months), and another 3 months durability test revealed minimal valve leakage during pressure tolerance test due to contraction deformity of the non-coronary cusp at the end of 6 months (actually 30 months) in the largest 23 mm group. 4. Histopathologic observation was focussed in three view points, endothelial cell lining, collagen and elastic fiber destructions in each preservation methods and long durable valvular tolerance test group. Endothel ial cell lining and collagen fiber were well preserved in the glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde treated group with minimal destruction of elastic fiber. In long durable tolerance test group revealed complete destruction of the endothelial cell lining with minimal destruction of the collagen and elastic fiber in 3 month and 6 month group in relation to the time and severity. In conclusion, porcine xenograft treated after the proposal of Carpentier in 1972 and preserved in the glutaraldehyde solution was the best method of collection, preservation and valve mounting. Pressure tolerance and valve motion tolerance test, also, revealed most satisfactory results in the glutaraldehyde preserved group.

본 연구에서는 생분해성 고분자인 poly(3-hydroxbutyrate) (PHB)의 생산 비용 절감을 위해, 탄소원으로 폐식용유(waste frying oil, WFO)을 사용하여 분리 균주 Pseudomonas sp. EML2의 최적 생장 및 PHB 생합성 조건을 확립하였다. WFO와 새 식용류(fresh frying oil, FFO)의 지방산을 분석한 결과 FFO의 지방산 함량은 불포화지방산 82.6%, 포화지방산 14.9%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났으나 WFO의 경우 불포화지방산 56.3%와 포화지방산 33.5%로 FFO와 비교할 때 지방산 조성의 변화를 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 불포화지방산의 조성 변화는 가열, 산화반응 및 가수분해에 의한 화학적, 물리적 특성의 변화 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 분리 균주 Pseudomonas sp. EML2의 최대 건조세포중량과 PHB 생합성량(g/l)을 확인하기 위해 플라스크를 이용하여 탄소원 농도, 질소원 종류 및 배양 pH와 온도 및 시간을 확립하였다. 그 결과 30 g/l의 WFO과 0.5 g/l의 $NH_4Cl$를 질소원으로 사용하여 pH 7 및 $20^{\circ}C$의 배양 조건에서 96시간 배양 시 최적의 건조세포중량과 PHB 생합성량을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 3 l jar fermenter를 이용하여 Pseudomonas sp. EML2의 생장 및 PHB 수율을 확인하였다. 그 결과 30 g/l의 WFO를 단일 탄소원으로 사용하여 96시간 배양 시 3.6 g/l의 건조세포중량을 얻었으며 73.0 wt%의 PHB 축적률을 확인하였다. 이 경우 PHB 생합성량 2.6 g/l로 나타났다. FFO를 대조군으로 사용하여 대량배양 한 결과 WFO를 사용한 경우와 비슷한 건조세포중량(3.4 g/l), PHB 축적률(70.0 wt%), 그리고 PHB 생합성량(2.4 g/l)을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 분리한 Pseudomonas sp. EML2는 WFO를 효과적으로 이용하여 PHB를 생합성 하였으며 이 균주와 WFO는 PHB의 산업적 생산을 위한 새로운 생산 후보자 및 탄소원으로서 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
