Calcium has a variety of functions in neuron and muscle cells and blood clotting, especially in the visual system where dark adapted rods cotransport with Na$\^$+/ into the cell. An influx of Ca$\^$++/ flows out of the cell through the Na$\^$+/-Ca$\^$++/ exchanger. By using a modified Using chamber in order to bring in vivo environment close, we have known that Ca$\^$++/ blocks the activity of guanylate cyclase, in consequence, having an effect on the amplitude of electroretinogram (ERG). We have measured the Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/, and Na$\^$+/ concentration in dark and light adapted bullfrog＇s (Rana catesbeiana) vitreous humor. The calcium concentration of the light adapted bullfrog＇s vitreous humor was higher than that of the dark adapted bullfrog＇s vitreous humor This means that ion activity between the photoreceptor and vitreous humor side is light dependent and we have found that a Ca$\^$++/ channel and Ca$\^$++/K$\^$+/ exchanger exist in the vitreous humor side. Taken together permeability of Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/ and K$\^$+/ ion internal limiting membrane faced in the vitreous humor side has light-dependent activity during the illumination.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the irradiation effects on the secretory granules of the rat submandibular gland acinar cell. For this study, Sprague-Dawley strain rats were irradiated to their neck region with the dose of 5Gy and l0Gy by 6MV X-radiation, and sacrificed on the experimental periods after irradiation. The authors observed the ultrastructural changes of the secretory granules of the rat submandibular gland acinar cell under a trasmission electron microscope. The results were as follows: In the transmission electron microscopic examination, secretory granules were blurred in limiting membrane on the 3hours groups after irradiation. And they showed decrease in number, irregularities in shape and distributional pattern, and inhomogeneous internal electron density on the Iday and 3days groups. After then, these changes were recovered in shape and distributional pattern on the 14days groups, and changes of internal electron density and limiting membrane were recovered on the 28days groups after irradiation. Among the intracellular organelles, rough endoplasmic reticulum was scattered, but golgi complex was not changed. And such pathologic changes were earlier and more prominent in 10Gy irradiated groups than in 5Gy irradiated groups.

본 연구에서는 SEBS와 여러 가지의 유기화물로 처리된 MMT (montmorillonite) type의 clay를 이용하여 SEBS-clay 하이브리드 막을 용융삽입법으로 제조하였다. clay의 함량은 5 phr (per hundred resin)로 고정하였다. internal mixer를 사용하여 clay를 SEBS에 분산시켰으며, 제조된 SEBS-clay 하이브리드에서 clay의 특성피크가 완전히 박리되거나 이동하는 XRD 결과로부터 clay의 층간거리가 넓어지는 고분자의 clay 층간삽입을 확인하였다. Clay의 종류에 따라서 제조된 SEBS-clay 하이브리드 막의 가스투과도, 기계적 물성 및 열적 성질을 측정하였다. SEBS-clay 하이브리드 막은 clay 자체의 도입과 층간거리의 확대로 기체분자의 tortuosity를 증가시켜서 가스투과도를 저하시키는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 다량의 수소를 포함한 다성분계 원료가스로부터 수소를 분리해 내는 분리막 시스템에 대하여 CFD 모델링과 모사를 수행하였다. 분리막 시스템은 환형 실린더 타입으로 원료가스의 유입을 위한 외부 lumen side와 sweeping gas가 유입되는 내부 permeation side로 구성된다. Lumen side의 운전온도와 압력은 $374^{\circ}C$, 7 기압 permeation side의 sweeping gas의 도입 온도와 압력은 $374^{\circ}C$, 3기압이며, 이러한 조건에서 운전이 가능한 Pd 분리막을 사용하였다. Sweeping gas의 흐름 방향에 따른 향류 및 병류 흐름에 대하여 각각 CFD 모사를 수행하였으며 수소 몰분율, 수소분압, 수소 플럭스 등에 대하여 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 lumen side의 원료가스 도입유속을 변화시켜 모사를 수행하고, 이에 따른 막분리 시스템의 효율을 비교하고 이에 대하여 고찰하였다.

이트리아 안정화 지르코니아(yttria stabilized zirconia, YSZ)를 전해질로 선정하여 소결조건에 따른 열적 안정성과 전기적인 특성을 분석하였다. SEM사진으로 소결온도가 증가할수록 입자가 커지므로 상대적으로 기공은 줄어드는 것을 보였고 입자크기에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. 전기적 특성을 알아보고자 2단자법(2-probe method)으로 $800\~1000^{\circ}C$의 오도에서 교류 임피던스 측정을 통하여 전해질 내의 저항과 전기전도도 측정으로 입자 내부 저항 및 전기적 성능을 평가하였다. 소결온도가 $1400^{\circ}C$일 때 건식법과 습식법에서 밀도는 각각 6.13, 6.25 $g/cm^3$이며, 상대밀도는 각각 98, 99$\%$였다. 소결온도가 올라갈수록 저항은 낮아지고, 전도도는 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 건식 및 습식법으로 제작한 전해질의 전기전도도는 $10000^{\circ}C$에서 각각 $8.8\times10^{-2},\;11\times10^{-2}$ S/cm이었다.

Angiogenesis is a fundamental process in reproduction and wound healing. Under these condition, neovascularization is tightly regulated. Unregulated angiogenesis may lead to several angiogenic diseases, and is thought to be indispensible for solid tumor growth and metastsis. The construction of new vascular network is a multistep cascade involving basement membrane degradation, endothelial cell proliferation, endothelial cell migration, and tube formation. Newly reported anti-angiogenic agents in oriental medical field have targeted both specific and multistep stages in the angiogenic process. From recent approach in oriental medical field with several herb medicines including activating blood flow and removing blood stasis medicine(活血化瘀藥), it may be possible in the future to develope specific anti-angiogenic agents that offer a less toxic potential therapy for cancer and angiogenic disease.

Two different MFC designs were evaluated in batch mode: single compartment combined membrane-electrodes (SCME) design and twin-compartment brush-type anode electrodes (TBE) design (single chamber with two air cathodes and brush anodes at each side of the reactor). In SCME MFC, carbon anode and cathode electrodes were assembled with a proton exchange membrane (PEM). TBE MFC was consisted of brush-type anode and carbon cloth cathode electrodes without the PEM. A brush-type anode was fabricated with carbon fibers and was placed close to the cathode electrode to reduce the internal resistance. Substrates used in this study were glucose, leachate from cattle manure, or sucrose at different concentrations with phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of 200 mM to increase the conductivity thereby reduce the internal resistance. Hydrogen generating bacteria (HGB) were only inoculated in TBE MFC. The peak power densities ($P_{peak}$) produced from the SCME systems fed with glucose and leachate were 18.8 and $28.7mW/m^2$ at external loads of 1000 ohms, respectively. And the $P_{peak}$ produced from TBE MFC were 40.1 and $18.3mW/m^2$ at sucrose concentration of 5 g/L and external loads of 470 ohms, with a mediator (2-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone) and without the mediator, respectively. The maximum power density ($P_{max}$) produced from mediator present TBE MFC was $115.3mW/m^2$ at 47 ohms of an external resistor.

Objectives : Although herbal medicines containing flavonoids have been reported to exert anti-tumor activities, it has not been explored whether Hwang-Jeong (Polygonati sibirici Rhizoma, PsR) exerts anti-tumor activity in human glioma. The present study was therefore undertaken to examine the effect of PsR on cell viability and to determine its underlying mechanism in A172 human glioma cells. Methods : Cell viability was estimated by MTT assay. Reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by the fluorescence dyes. The phosphorylation of kinases was evaluated by western blot analysis and caspase activity was estimated using colorimetric assay kit. Results : PsR resulted in loss of cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner. PsR did not increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the PsR-induced cell death was also not affected by antioxidants, suggesting that ROS generation is not involved in loss of cell viability. Western blot analysis showed that PsR treatment caused rapid reduction in phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) without changes in p38 and Jun-NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). U0126, an inhibitor of ERK, increased the PsR-induced cell death, but inhibitors of p38 and JNK did not affect the cell death. PsR induced depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential. Caspase activity was not stimulated by PsR and caspase inhibitors did not prevent the PsR-induced cell death. Conclusion : Taken together, these findings suggest that PsR results in human glioma cell death through caspaseindependent mechanisms involving down-regulation of ERK.
