Surface modified poly ${\text\tiny{L}}$-lactic acid (PLLA) samples with hydroxyapatite (HA), heparin and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) mediated by polydopamine (pDA) coating (PLLA/pDA/HA/Hep/BMP-2) were prepared, and their effects on the enhancements of bone formation and osseointegration were evaluated in vitro and in vivo as compared to PLLA, PLLA/pDA/HA, and PLLA/pDA/Hep/BMP-2. The changes in surface chemical compositions, morphologies and wettabilities were observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle measurements. Pre-coating of HA particles with pDA provided uniform and homogeneous anchoring of particles to PLLA surface. In addition, the strong ionic interaction between heparin and pDA led PLLA surface readily heparinized for loading of BMP-2. In vitro experiments revealed that the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, and osteocalcin (OCN) gene expression were higher in MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell lines grown on PLLA/pDA/HA/Hep/BMP-2 than on control PLLA, PLLA/pDA/HA, and PLLA/pDA/Hep/BMP-2. In vivo studies using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) also showed that PLLA/pDA/HA/Hep/BMP-2 screw exhibited greatest value of bone volume (BV) and bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) among samples. Histological evaluations with H&E and Von Kossa staining demonstrated that a combination of HA and BMP-2 contributed to the strong osseointegration.

고양이 담낭근에서 효소학적으로 분리한 평활근 세포는 cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), acetylcholine (ACh) 및 KCl에 의하여 용량에 의존하여 수축하였다. 이들 효현제 (CCK-5, ACh 및 KCl)에 의한 평활근 세포의 최대수축은 각각$10^{-9}M$, $10^{-5}M$ 및 20mM 농도에서 야기되었다. CCK-8에 의하여 야기되는 이들 평활근 세포의 수축은 HEPES 완충액에 $Ca^{2+}$을 제거시킴에 의하여 영향을 받지 아니하였으나, $Ca^{2+}$ 대신에 strontium을 첨가시켰을때 수축반응이 완전하게 억제되었다 (p<0.001). 이와는 반대로 KCl에 의한 수축반응은 strontium 치환에 의하여 영향을 받지 아니하고 HEPES 완충액에 $Ca^{2+}$을 제거시킴에 의하여 억제되었다 (p<0.01). ACh에 의하여 야기되는 수축반응은 세포 외액의 $Ca^{2+}$을 제거시킴에 의하여 중등도의 억제반응이 야기되었으나 (p<0.05) strontium에 의하여 영향을 받지 아니하였다. Saponin으로 세포 투과성 변동을 야기시킨 근세포에서 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate $(IP_3)$와 CCK-8은 수축반응을 일으켰고, 이러한 수축반응은 calmodulin 길항제인 CGS 9343B에 의하여 차단되었으며 (p<0.001), heparin은 CCK-8 및 $IP_3$의 작용을 완전하게 봉쇄하였다 (p<0.001). 그러나 이러한 수축반응에 있어서 protein kinase C 길항제인 H7은 아무런 작용을 나타내지 못하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 CCK-8에 의하여 야기된 고양이 담낭근 세포의 수축반응은 $IP_3$에 의하여 세포내 저장소로부터 유리된 $Ca^{2+}$과 calmodulin에 의존적인 과정에 의하여 매개되어 지는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 ACh는 세포외액의 $Ca^{2+}$ 뿐만 아니라 세포내 저장소의 $Ca^{2+}$ 모두를 이용하며, KCl은 전적으로 세포외액의 $Ca^{2+}$에 의존적인 형태로 calmodulin과는 무관하게 고양이 담낭근 세포의 수축반응을 야기시키는 것으로 사료된다.

Extracellular phospholipase $A_2$ activity has been detected in urine of patients with acute pyelonephritis (APN). This enzyme required micromolar $Ca^{2+}$ ion for its maximum activity and showed a broad range of pH (4.5~10) optimum. Urine enzyme hydrolyzed phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) more effectively than phosphatidylcholine (PC). $PLA_2$ activity in the urine of patients with APN was about 5-fold higher than that of healthy individuals. When urine was subjected to heparinSepharose column chromatography, phospholipase $A_2$ activity was detected in both heparin-non-binding and binding fractions. Both phospholipase $A_2$ activities were sensitive less than a micromolar calcium concentration and did not react with anti-human 14-kDa group II phospholipase $A_2$ monoclonal antibody, HP-l. These findings suggest that two kinds of novel extracellular phospholipase $A_2$. which may not belong to the 14-kDa group II phospholipase $A_2$ family, exist in the urine of patients with APN.

Use of oocytes from prepubertal animals for in vitro embryo production holds potential application for reducing generation intervals and increasing genetic progress through embryo transfer. The objective of these studies was to compare the effect of three sperm pretreatments (prior to in vitro fertilization) and seven embryo culture protocols on fertilization rate and (or) subsequent development of in vitro fertilized embryos derived from oocytes harvested from ovaries of 1-6 month old prepubertal Boer goats in China. Cleavage rates were highest for embryos fertilized with heparin-treated versus calcium ionophore- or caffeine-treated sperm. Similar rates of blastocyst development were observed using heparin- and ionophore-treated sperm, which were higher than obtained with caffeine-treated sperm. No differences in cleavage or blastocyst rates were observed following embryo culture in basal medias (synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF), Charles Rosenkrans 1 (CR1) or tissue culture medium-199 (TCM-199)) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cumulus or oviductal cell co-culture did not enhance cleavage or blastocyst rates relative to culture in SOF+10% FBS. Replacement of FBS in SOF medium with 0.3% BSA increased cleavage rates, but did not increase rates of blastocyst development. Sequential culture in SOF+0.3% BSA followed by SOF+10% FBS increased blastocyst yield versus continuous culture in SOF+10% FBS and tended to increase blastocyst yield versus continuous culture in SOF+0.3% BSA. These results demonstrate a pronounced effects of sperm pretreatments and in vitro embryo culture systems on rates of blastocyst development and provide a potential protocol (sperm pretreatment with heparin and sequential embryo culture in SOF+0.3% BSA followed by SOF+10% FBS) for generation of the significant numbers of in vitro produced blastocysts from oocytes of prepubertal Boer goats necessary for application of embryo transfer in rural regions of China for distribution of Boer goat genetics.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of the follicles size, hormone supplementation, semen types and capacitation methods on in vitro maturation and fertilization of bovine follicular oocytes. The ovaries were obtained from slaughtered Korean Native cows. The follicular oocytes surrounded with cumulus cells were recovered by aspirating follicular fluid from the visible follicles of diameter 3~5mm. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 medium containing hormones, FCS, ECS, BFF and MCC for 24~48hrs. in a incubator with 5% CO2 in air at 38.5$^{\circ}C$ and then matured oocytes were again cultured for 18~20hrs. with motile capacitated sperm in the TCF(Tyroide calcium-free) solution containing 200$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of heparin. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows : 1. The oocytes classified as "A, B, C, D and Degenerative" depending morphological integrity and those were 61.4%, 12.1%, 19.2%, 4.2% and 3.0% of the total oocytes recovered, respectively. The maturation and fertilization rate of the A, B, C class follicular oocytes, cultured in the TCM-199 medium supplemented with 10% FCS were 89.1%, 78.0%, 52.6% and 78.1%, 66.1%, 33.3%, respectively. 2. The average number of the follicular oocytes recovered from follicles size, 1~2mm, 3~5mm and above 5mm in dimeter were 67, 98 and 63, respectively. The maturation and fertilization rate of the follicular oocytes, cultured in the TCM-199 medium were 56.7%, 82.5%, 46.0% and 44.8%, 71.4%, 28.6%, respectively. 3. The maturation and fertilization rate of follicular oocytes, cultured in the TCM-199 medium supplemented with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% FCS and hCG, HCG, $\beta$-estradiol were 76.0%~82.3% and 26.2%~70.0%, and those values were higher the supplementation of the hormone than the non-supplementation. 4. The fertilization and cleavage rate of the follicular oocytes, inseminated with spermatozoas of epididymis cauda, neat and frozen semen were 63.3%, 73.3%, 70.0% and 32.7%, 37.8%, 38.3, respectively. 5.

We have reported that dopamine potentiates spontaneous contractions dose-dependently in guinea-pig antral circular muscle strips (Hwang et al, 1991). To clarify the underlying excitatory mechanism of dopamine on the gastric smooth muscle, the effects of dopamine on voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}\;currents\;and\;Ca^{2+}\;-dependent\;K^+\;currents$ were observed in enzymatically dispersed guinea-pig gastric myocytes using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Experiments were also done using isometric tension recording and conventional intracellular microelectrode techniques. 1) The effect of dopamine on the spontaneous contraction of antral circular muscle strips of the guinea-pig was excitatory in a dose-dependent manner, and was blocked by phentolamine, an ${\alpha}-adrenoceptor$ blocker. 2) The slow waves were not changed by dopamine. 3) The voltage-operated inward $Ca^{2+}$ current was not influenced by dopamine. 4) The $Ca^{2+}\;-dependent\;K^+$ outward current, which might reflect the changes of intracellular calcium concentration, was enhanced by dopamine. This effect was abolished by phentolamine. 5) The enhancing effect of dopamine on the $Ca^{2+}\;-dependent\;K^+$ current disappeared with heparin which is known to block the action of $InsP_3$. From these results, it is suggested that dopamine acts via $InsP_3-mediated\;Ca^{2+}$ mobilization from intracellular stores and such action potentiates the spontaneous contraction of guinea-pig gastric smooth muscle.

목 적 : 최근 임상 적용이 늘어나는 citrate 항응고요법은 전신적 출혈성 경향을 증가시키지 않으나 여러 가지 대사 이상을 유발할 가능성이 있다. 저자들은 소아에서 칼슘포함투석액을 이용한 citrate 항응고요법의 효과 및 문제점을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 3월부터 2004년 10월까지 서울아산병원에서 CRRT를 시행받은 28명의 소아를 대상으로 후향적으로 의무기록을 검토하였다. 항응고요법의 종류에 따른 필터 수명을 비교하고 citrate 항응고요법을 시행한 환아들에서 CRRT 시작 시점과 시행 48시간 후의 전해질 검사 결과를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 28명의 환아들 중 모두 5명에서 citrate를 사용하였으며 이중 4명에서 출혈성 경향이 동반되어 있었다. Citrate를 사용하였을 때 필터 평균 수명은 1.60$\pm$0.72일로 CRRT 시행 중 출혈성 합병증은 없었다. 치료 전후의 Pf, aPTT, sodium, t$CO_{2}$, iCa은 차이가 없었으나 치료 48시간 후 총 Ca은 증가하였다. 필터 후 iCa 목표를 통상적으로 적용되는 0.25-0.39 mmol/L로 하였을 때 5례에서 모두 citrate 주입량이 증가하였으며 Ca 주입량은 감소하였다. 결 론 : 칼슘포함투석액을 이용한 citrate 항응고요법은 소아에서 출혈성 합병증이나 대사 이상을 유발하지 않고 안전하게 적용할 수 있는 방법으로 출혈성 경향이 동반된 환아의 CRRT에서 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 다만 현재 통상적으로 적용되는 값보다 필터 후 칼슘의 목표를 상향 조정하는 것이 추천된다.

Fluoride (F-), a known stimulator of G-protein, induced strong contraction in rabbit trachealis muscle. $AlCl_3\;(5{\sim}20\;{\mu}M)$, which is required for G-protein stimulation by $F^-$, potentiated the contractile response to $F^-$. $Ca^{2+}-removal$ and verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, inhibited the fluoroaluminate-induced contraction. Fluoroaluminate increased $^{45}Ca$ influx in the absence and presence of verapamil. In heparin-loaded muscle high $K^+-induced$ contraction was not affected, but acetylcholine and fluoroaluminate-induced contractions were inhibited. The fluoroaluminate-induced contraction was partially relaxed by isoproterenol, a stimulator of adenylate cyclase. Pertussis toxin partially inhibited fluoroaluminate-induced contraction and potentiated isoproterenol-induced relaxation in the presence of fluoroaluminate, but had no effect on acetylcholine-induced contraction and the isoproterenol-induced relaxation in the presence of acetylcholine. These results suggest that fluoroaluminate has the ability to stimulate at least two putative G-proteins in rabbit trachealis muscle; One causes $Ca^{2+}$ influx through the potential-operated $Ca^{2+}$ channel and the other induces intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release by the increase of inositol-1, 4, 5-triphosphate.
