Aerosol Deposition (AD) is anovel way to fabricate bioactive ceramic coatings in biomedical implants and prostheses applications. In the present work, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on commercially pure titanium were prepared by aerosol deposition using Si-HA powders. The incorporation of silicon in the HA lattice is known to improve the bioactivity of the HA, makingsilicon-substitute HA an attractive alternative to pure HA in biomedical applications. Si-HA powders with the chemical formula $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6-x(SiO_4)x(OH)_2-x$, having silicon contents up to x=0.5 (1.4 wt%), were synthesized by solid-state reaction of $Ca_2P_2O_7$, $CaCO_3$, and $SiO_2$. The Si-HA powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The corresponding coatings were also analyzed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The results revealed that a single-phase Si-HA was obtained without any secondary phases such as $\alpha$- or $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for both the powders and the coatings.The Si-HA coating was about $5\;{\mu}m$ thick, had a densemicrostructure with no cracks or pores. In addition, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells grown on the Si-HA coatings were significantly higher than those on the bare Ti and pure HA coating. These results revealed the stimulatory effects induced by siliconsubstitution on the cellular response to the HA coating.

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a geriatric dementia that is widespread in old age. In the near future AD will be the commom disease in public health service. Although a variety of oriental presciptions in study POD(Polygala tenuifolia extracted from dichlorometan) have been traditionally utilized for the treatment of AD, their pharmacological effects and action mechanisms have not yet fully elucidated. It has been widely believed that AP peptide divided from APP causes apoptotic neurotoxicity in AD brain. However, recent evidence suggests that CT105, carboxy terminal 105 aminoacids peptide fragment of APP, may be an important factor causing neurotoxicity in AD. SK-N-SH cells expressed with CT105 exhibited remarkable apoptotic cell damage. Based on morphological observations by phase contrast microscope and NO formation in the culture media, the CT105-induced cell death was significantly inhibited by POD. In addition, AD is one of brain degeneration disease. So We studied on herbal medicine that have a relation of brain degeneration. From old times, In Oriental Medicine, PO water extract has been used for disease in relation to brain degeneration. We were examined by ROS formation, neurite outgrowth assay and DPPH scravage assay. Additionally, we investigated the association between the CT105 and neurite degeneration caused by CT105-induced apoptotic response in neurone cells. We studied on the regeneratory and inhibitory effects of anti-Alzheimer disease in pCT105-induced neuroblastoma cell lines by POD. Findings from our experiments have shown that POD inhibits the synthesis or activities of CT105, which has neurotoxityies and apoptotic activities in cell line. In addition, treatment of POD(>50 ㎍/㎖ for 12 hours) partially prevented CT(105)-induced cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cell lines, and were inhibited by the treatment with its. POD(>50 ㎍/㎖ for 12 hours) repaired CT105-induced neurite outgrowth when SK-N-SH cell lines was transfected with CT105. As the result of this study, In POD group, the apoptosis in the nervous system is inhibited, the repair against the degerneration of Neuroblastoma cells by CT105 expression is promoted. Decrease of memory induced by injection of scopolamin into rat was also attenuted by POD, based on passive avoidance test. Taken together, POD exhibited inhibition of CT105-induced apoptotic cell death. POD was found to reduce the activity of AchE and induced about the CA1 in rat hippocampus. Base on these findings, POD may be beneficial for the treatment of AD.

The principal indicators contributing to water qualities was screened by factor analyses, based on the monitored chemical parameters of water quality for various water resources from 1995 to 1999 in the small agricultural catchments of the Han River Basin. Water samples of streams, groundwaters, and reservoirs were taken four times a year from upper (Daegwanryong), middle (Dunnae and Chunchon) and lower (Guri) reaches of Han River Basin. In these areas, the respective type of farming practiced was alpine agriculture and livestocks raising, typical upland and paddy cultivation, and intensive cropping in the plastic film house. Water quality was monitored for twenty-one water quality parameters, including pH, EC, SS, T-N, T-P, COD, cations, anions, and heavy metals. pH, EC and COD of the stream waters were suitable for the Korea irrigation water quality guidelines. However, T-N and T-P concentrations of water samples in four catchments far exceeded the irrigation water guideline. Concentrations of canons and heavy metals in Wangsuk stream in Guri area were higher than those in streams in other areas. Factor analysis revealed that significant correlation was observed for 81 pairs out of 231 water quality indicators of stream water among the $21\;{\times}\;21$ cross correlation matrix of stream water quality indicators. The first factor accounted for 27.01% of the total variation in stream water quality indicators, and high positive factor loadings were shown on EC, K, Na, $NH_4\;^+-N$, $PO_4\;^{3-}$, $SO_4\;^{2-}$, and COD. Fifty-three water quality indicator pairs were significant out of 190 ground water quality parameters. The first factor accounted for 28.54% of the total variation in ground water quality indicators, and high loadings were revealed on EC, Ca, Mg, K, Na, $NH_4\;^+-N$, and $SO_4$. Twenty-nine pairs of reservoir water quality indicators were significant out of 66 pairs. The first factor accounted for 37.06% of the total variation in reservoir water quality indicators, and high loadings were shown on EC, Mg, K, Na, SS, T-P, Cl, and COD. These results demonstrate that EC was the first factor contributing to water quality.

토마토의 오존에 대한 내성을 증대시키고자 생장 외화제인 uniconazole을 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 0.2mg/pot의 농도를 토양주입하고, 0.3ppm이 오존에 처리하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Uniconazole은 0.001mg/po1의 낮은 농도에서도 식물체를 크게 왜화시켰으며, 왜화정도가 클수록 오존에 대한 내성을 증대시켜 무처리구의 25% 피해에 비하여 0.01mg/pot의 낮은 농도처리에서도 10% 이하로 피해를 경감시켰다. 2. Uniconazole은 처리농도가 높아질수록 토마토의 초장, 엽장, 엽면적 및 생체중을 감소시키고, chlorophyll 함량을 증대시켰으며 증산량을 현저히 감소시켰다. 오존처리는 증산량을 현저히 감소시켰으며 uniconazole 처리는 오존에 의한 증산량의 감소에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 3. Uniconazole은 오존피해를 경감시킴으로 ethylene의 발생량을 크게 경감시켰으나 자엽의 낙엽 및 잎의 epinasty 발생을 방지시킬 수 없었다. 4. 오존처리는 POD의 활성을 크게 증가시켰으나, SOD의 활성은 감소시키는 경향이었다. Uniconazole은 농도가 높아짐에 따라 POD와 SOD의 활성을 약간 증가시키는 경향이었다. 5. Uniconazole을 처리한 다음 $GA_3$ 를 엽면살포한 결과 생장왜화효과가 소멸되면서 오존에 대한 내성도 감소되었다. 6. 이와같은 결과로 종합하여 볼 때, 토마토에 있어서 uniconazole의 오존 피해경감은 식물체의 왜화와 엽록소의 함량증대에 따른 오염물질의 세포 내 유입억제와 함께 oxyradical의 해를 중화시킬수 있는 요소의 활성증대가 일부 인정되는 것으로 판단된다.

전기응집 (Electro-coagulation)을 활용한 분리 막 생물반응기 (Membrane Bio-Reactor) 공정의 막 오염 저감 현상을 확인하고 이를 해석하고자 하였다. 전기응집의 주요 운전 인자인 전류밀도와 접촉시간 변화가 활성슬러지 혼합액의 막 여과에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고 전기응집 과정에서 발생하는 수산화금속염이 막 오염에 미치는 역할에 대해 연구하였다. 전류밀도를 $10A/m^2$으로 높게 유지한 경우에는 전기응집 시간이 증가하여도 막 오염 감소 효과가 크지 않은 반면 $2.5A/m^2$의 낮은 전류밀도 하에서는 전기응집 시간이 증가하면 추가적인 막 오염 감소가 관찰되었다. 즉, 막 오염을 감소시키는 전류밀도와 접촉시간의 곱이 전체 막 오염 저감 정도를 지배하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 주어진 전류밀도와 인가시간에서 입도분포는 크게 변화하지 않은 것으로 나타나 콜로이드 입자와 막 오염 저감과는 큰 관련성이 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 전기응집을 통해 생성된 수산화알루미늄 (인산알루미늄)이 막 여과 과정에서 동적 막 (Dynamic Membrane)을 형성하여 막 오염 현상을 완화하는 것으로 확인되었다. 전기응집에서 발생한 수산화금속염이 막 표면에 동적 막을 형성하고 이로 인해 유입수의 입자성분이 직접 막 표면과 내부에 침적되는 것을 방해하고 동적 막에 주로 쌓이게 함으로써 막 오염이 감소된 것이다. 본 연구에서 밝힌 수산화금속염에 의한 동적 막의 역할은 전기응집을 활용한 MBR 공정의 후 막 오염 감소 메커니즘을 해석하는데 중요한 역할을 한다고 결론지을 수 있다.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the hemodynamic responses, especially in arterial and skin blood flows, in conjunction with the changes of plasma catecholamine levels as an indirect marker of adrenergic tone during the early stage of head-down tilt (HDT), and to evaluate the early physiological regulatory mechanism in simulated weightlessness. Ten mongrel dogs, weighing8\;{\sim}\;14\;kg, were intravenously anesthetized with nembutal, and postural changes were performed by using the tilting table. The postural changes were performed in the following order: supine, prone, HDT $(-6^{\circ}C)$ and lastly recovery prone position. The duration of each position was 30 minutes. The measurements were made before, during and after each postural change. The arterial blood flow $({\.{Q}})$ at the left common carotid and right brachial arteries was measured by the electromagnetic flowmeter. Blood pressure (BP) was directly measured by pressure transducer in the left brachial artery. To evaluate the peripheral blood flow, skin blood flow $({\.{Q}})$ was calculated by the percent changes of photoelectric pulse amplitude on the forepaw, and skin temperature was recorded. The peripheral vascular resistance (PR) was calculated by dividing respective mean BP values by ${\.{Q}}$ of both sides of common carotid and brachial arteries. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (f) and PH, $Po_{2},\;Pco_{2}$ and hematocrit of arterial and venous blood were also measured. The concentration of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine was measured by radioenzymatic method. The results are summarized as follows: Tilting to head-down position from prone position, HR was initially increased (p<0.05) and BP was not significantly changed. While ${\.{Q}}$ of the common carotid artery was decreased (p<0.05) and PR through the head was increased, ${\.{Q}}$ of the brachial artery was increased (p<0.05) and PR through forelimbs was decreased. ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw was initially increased (p<0.05) and then slightly decreased, on the whole revealing an increasing trend. Plasma norepinephrine was slightly decreased and the epinephrine was slightly increased. f was increased and arterial pH was increased (p<0.05). In conclusion, the central blood pooling during HDT shows an increased HR via Bainbridge reflex and an increased ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw and brachial ${\.{Q}}$, due to decreased PR which may be originated from the depressor reflex of cardiopulmonary baroreceptors. It is suggested that the blood flow to the brain was adequately regulated throughout HDT $(-6^{\circ}C)$ in spite of central blood pooling. And it is apparent that the changes of plasma norepinephrine level are inversely proportional to those of ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw, and the changes of epinephrine level are paralleled with those of the brachial ${\.{Q}}$.

In order to investigate the structures and dynamics of phytoplankton communities, each physicochemical environmental factor, species composition, standing crop, and dominant species were examined in the marine ranching ground of Tongyeong coastal waters from April to October, 2000. During the studies, mean water temperature and salinity were $18.8^{\circ}C$ and 33.1 psu, respectively. DO, SS and transparency varied from 5.43 to 11.39 mg/l, 14.6 to 32.4mg/l and 3.5 to 9.0m, respectively. Light intensities varied from 0.02 to $966{\mu}E/m^2/s$, which decreased with depth. $NH_4-N,\;NO_3-N,\;NO_2-N,\;PO_4-P,\;and\;SiO_2-Si$ were fluctuated from 0.059 to 0.332 mg/l, 0.040 to 0.800 mg/l, 0.001 to 0.468 mg/l, 2.3 to $143.0{\mu}g/l$, and 0.007 to 0.600 mg/l, respectively. chlorophyll a concentrations were fluctuated from 0.7 to $8.9{\mu}g/l$. Among 130 taxa of phytoplankton communities observed. diatoms occupied more than 81.54% of the total species, and the others were dinoflagellates and silicoflagellates. Phytoplankton standing crops ranged from $4.6{\times}10^4\;to\;2.6{\times}10^6cells/l$. In October, the standing crops were at bloom level showing more than $10^6cells/lat$ all stations. Dominant species changed by month and station. Leptocylindrus danicus occupied 59.84% in April and 22.03% in June. Pseudo-nitzschia pungens in August and Chaetoceros socialis and Skeletonema costatum in October were predominant species. In order to investigate factors influencing the total phytoplankton standing crops the correlations between the standing crops of diatoms, dinoflagellates, all phytoplanktons occurred and environmental factors were calculated using a multiple regression analysis. The coefficient of determination $(R^2)$ for total standing crops was 0.63 which explained 63% of variance and that of $R^2$ for diatom was 0.82. In statistical analysis, the results showed that the environmental factors influencing the size of the communities were predominantly water temperature, salinity and silicate.

국내산 결구상추의 하절기 생산 제한을 수확 후 포장방법개선으로 공급을 효과적으로 유지하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 고온기 결구상추의 유통 및 저장 현황을 조사하였으며, 유통 현황과 기존의 결과를 근거하여 개선 가능한 포장방법을 모색하였다. 결구상추의 '유레이크'품종을 이용하여 포장재별 포장 방법에 따라 저장 중 생체중량 변화, SPAD 지수 등을 조사하였다. 포장방법은 관행적인 무포장의 플라스틱 재질 농산물 유통상자에 적재하는 저장방법에 LLDPE와 HDPE 필름 포장재를 이용하여 개별 및 박스 단위 방법으로 포장하여 저장온도 $2^{\circ}C$에서 하였다. 결구상추 저장 시 포장 방법 및 포장재에 따라서 개별적으로 LLDPE 필름으로 랩 포장한 것이 저장 21일까지 외관품위 등에서 비교적 양호한 상품성을 유지하였다. 또한 생체중량 감소율이 다른 처리구보다 적었고, 저장 중 SPAD나 색상변화 정도가 적은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 개별 포장한 결구상추의 결구내 수분감소나 경도에서는 처리별 차이를 확인하기는 어려웠다. 결구상추는 개별 포장하여 단기간 동안의 선도를 유지할 수 있었으나 개별 포장에 따른 기체 조성 변화에 큰 영향이 없어 MA 효과를 언급하기는 어려웠다. 고온기 생산성이 낮은 시기에 결구상추의 단경기 공급을 위해 개별적인 랩 포장으로 포장방법을 개선함으로써 저장성 연장에 대한 가능성을 확인하였다.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were grafted to both ends of Pluronic$^{(R)}$ F68 ($(EO)_{75}(PO)_{30}(EO)_{75}$) triblock copolymer to produce poly{(lactic acid)$_m$-co-(glycolic acid)$_n$}-b-poly(ethylene oxide)$_{75}$-b-poly(propylene oxide)$_{30}$-b-poly(ethylene oxide)$_{75}$-b-poly{(lactic acid)$_m$-co-(glycolic acid)$_n$} (PLGA-F68-PLGA) pentablock copolymers. Molecular weights of PLGA blocks were controlled and five kinds of pentablock copolymers with different PLGA block lengths were synthesized using in-situ ring-opening polymerization of D,L-lactide and glycolide with tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate ($Sn(Oct)_2$) catalyst. PLGA-F68-PLGA pentablock copolymers were characterized by $^1H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR, GPC, and TGA. The numbers (2m, 2n) of repeating units for lactic acid and glycolic acid inside PLGA segments were obtained as (48, 17), (90, 23), (125, 40), (180, 59), and (246, 64), with $^1H$-NMR measurement. From NMR data, the resultant molecular weights were determined in the range of 12,700-29,700, which were similar to those obtained from GPC. Polydispersity index was increased in the range of 1.32-1.91 as the content of PLGA blocks increased. TG and DTG thermograms showed discrete degradation traces for PLGA and F68 blocks, which indicate the weight fractions of PLGA blocks in pentablock copolymers can be calculated by TG profile and it is possible to remove PLGA block selectively. Hydrodynamic radius and radius of gyration of pentablock copolymer micelle were obtained in the range of 46-68 nm and 31-49 nm, respectively, in very dilute (i.e. 0.005 wt %) aqueous solution of THF:$H_2O$ = 10:90 by volume at $25^{\circ}C$.
