Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Cytochalasin B (CCB) on the cytoskeletal stability of mouse oocyte frozen by vitrification. Methods : Mouse oocytes retrieved from cycle stimulated by PMSG and hCG were treated by CCB and then vitrified in EFS-30. These oocytes were placed onto an EM grid and submerged immediately in liquid nitrogen. Thawing of the oocytes was carried out at room temperature for 5 seconds, then the EM grid was placed into 0.75 M, 0.5 M and 0.25 M sucrose at $37^{circ}C$ for 3 minutes, each. These oocytes were fixed in 4% formaldehyde for an hour and then washed in PPB for 15 minutes 3 times, then incubated in PPB containing anti-tubulin monoclonal antibody at $4^{circ}C$ overnight. And then, the oocytes were incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse IgG and propidium iodide (PI) for 45 minutes. Pattern of microtubules and microfilaments of oocytes were evaluated with a confocal microscope. Results: The rate of oocytes containing normal microtubules and microfilaments was significantly decreased after vitrification. The rate of oocyte containing normal microtubules in CCB treated group was higher than those in non-treated group (53.7% vs. 48.9%), but the difference was not significant. The rate of oocyte containing normal microfilaments in CCB treated group was significantly higher than those in non-treated group (64.5% vs. 38.3%, p<0.05). Conclusion: Microfilaments stability could be improved by CCB treatment prior to vitrification. It is suggested that CCB treatment prior to vitrification improve stability of cytoskeleton and then increase success rate in IVF-ET program using vitrification and thawing oocyte.

This study was carried out to develop the seed propagation method of Dicenta spectabilis (L.) Lem. which is an ornamental plant native to Korea. In the previous studies, it was found that the seeds of D. spectabilis were morphophysiologically dormant (MPD), and high and low temperature of stratification were continuously required for the embryo growth and germination of the seeds. Especially, it was most effective to store for 1 month at $20^{\circ}C$ and then to transfer to $4^{\circ}C$. The treatment of $GA_3$ was carried out to promote embryo development and germination. The seeds were submerged in 100, 200 or $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$ for 72 hours and then stored at various conditions as follow. The temperature conditions disposed of this experiment were 1 month at 10, 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$ or 2, 4, 8, and 12 months at $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. As a result, the length of embryo and germination rate of the seeds were the best when stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 months after $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$ treatment. Besides, when the seeds stored at $4^{\circ}C$, significant differences in embryo length and germination rate were shown with $GA_3$ concentration and storage period. It was also proved that high-concentration of $GA_3$ could replace the high temperature and could promote germination. Consequentially, the D. spectabilis seeds were classified into intermediate simple levels among MPD types.

The antifibrotic effects of hot water extract (WEC), intracellular biopolymer (IPC) and extracellular biopolymers (EPC) from mycelial liquid culture of Cordyceps militaris on liver fibrosis were studied. Liver fibrosis was induced by a bile duct ligation and scission (BDL/S) operation, duration of 4 weeks in rats. In BDL/S rats, the levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin in serum and hydroxyproline content in liver were dramatically increased. The WEC or IPC treatment (30mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, p.o.) in BDL/S rats reduced the serum AST, ALT and ALP levels significantly (p<0.01). The EPC treatment (30 mg/kg /day for 4 weeks, p.o.) reduced the serum ALT, AST and ALP levels significantly (p<0.01). Malondialdehyde contents in liver treated with WEC, IPC or EPC were significantly reduced (p <0.05). But Liver hydroxyproline content was decreased only in EPC treated BDL/S rats to 55% that of BDL/S control rats (p < 0.01). The morphological characteristics and expression of alpha smooth muscle like actin in fibrotic liver, which appeared in BDL/S control group were improved in EPC treated fibrotic liver. These results indicate that IPC (30 mg/kg /day for 4 weeks, p.o.) has an antifibrotic effect on fibrotic rats induced by BDL/S.

Phosphorous removal rate and emergent plant growth were examined of a surface-flow constructed treatment wetland system, whose dimensions were 31 meter in length and 12 meter in width. The system was established on floodplain in the down reach of the Kwangju Stream in Korea in one and half months from May to June 2001. Cattails(Typha angustiflora) were transplanted in the system. They were dug out of natural wetlands and stems were cut at about 40 cm height from their bottom ends. Water of the Kwangju Stream were funneled into it via a pipe by gravity flow and its effluent were discharged back into it. The stems of cattails grew from 45.2 cm in July 2001 up to 186 cm in September 2001 and the number of cattail stems per square meter increased from 22 in July 2001 to 53 in September 2001. The early establishment of cattails was good. Volume and water quality of inflow and outflow were analyzed from July 2001 through December 2001. Inflow averaged $40\;m^3/day$ and hydraulic retention time was about 1.5 days. The concentration of total phosphorous in influent and effluent was 0.85 mg/L, 0.41 mg/L, respectively. The average removal rate of total phosphorous in the system was about 52%. The retention efficiency was slightly lower, compared with that in surface-flow wetlands operating in North America, whose retention efficiency was reported to be about 57%. The lower abatement rate could result from the initial stage of the system and inclusion of two cold months into the six-month monitoring period. Root rhizosphere in wetland soils and litter-soil layers on bottoms were not properly developed. Increase of standing density of cattails within a few years will establish both root zones and substrates beneficial to the removal of phosphorous, which may lead to increase of the phosphorous retention rate. The system was submerged one time by heavy storm during the monitoring period. The inundation, however, scarcely disturb its environment.

본 연구에서는 고농도 유기성 폐수인 분뇨 처리를 위한 MBR 공정에 마이크로버블을 적용하여 처리효율을 검토하고, 안정적 운영의 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 마이크로버블을 분리막이 침지되어 있는 호기조에 직접 공급하였을 때에는 과도하게 스컴이 발생하여 처리공정의 안정적 운영이 불가능하였다. 생물반응조 전단에 마이크로버블을 공급하는 전처리조를 설치하여 고액분리와 유기물 산화를 실시한 다음 MBR 공정으로 처리한 결과 전처리조에서의 SS 제거율은 2kg, 4kg, 6kg, 그리고 $8kg\;COD_{Cr}/m^3{\cdot}day$의 유기물 부하에서 각각 평균 74.3%, 82.8%, 75.0%, 52.1%를 나타내었으며, 전체 처리공정 처리수의 SS 제거율은 평균 99.4% 이상이었다. 또한 최종처리수의 $TCOD_{Cr}$ 제거율은 평균 94.0% 이상이었으며, $SCOD_{Cr}$ 제거율은 평균 74.1% 이상이었다. 한편, 마이크로버블을 호기조에 직접 공급할 경우 마이크로버블과 오염물질들이 함께 분리막에 부착되어 fouling 현상이 가속되는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 분뇨와 같은 고농도 유기성 폐수 처리공정에는 SS 제거와 유기물 산화를 목적으로 생물반응조 전단에 마이크로버블을 적용함으로써 안정적인 처리가 가능함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

지붕이나 여러 가지 방법과 장소에서 수집된 빗물을 처리하면 직접적 간접적으로 유익하게 사용될 수 있다. 이러한 빗물은 점점 더 높은 품질을 위해 고려되고 있고, 분리막은 이러한 빗물 처리를 위한 중요한 기술이다. 특히, 분리막은 고품질 물 생산, 높은 집적도 및 낮은 에너지 소비 등의 장점이 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 막오염은 수처리 및 폐수 재활용 부분과 마찬가지로 심각한 문제로 간주되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 빗물 처리에 정밀여과(MF)막을 적용하였고, 저압 자외선(LPUV) 처리를 정밀여과막의 전처리로 사용하였다. 유기물에 대한 UV의 영향을 정량화하기 위해 총 유기탄소(TOC) 및 UV 흡광도(UVA)를 모두 측정하였다. 또한 UV 전처리 효과에 따른 막의 오염 정도를 조사하였다. LPUV 전처리를 하고 실험을 한 결과 조류에 의해 오염된 빗물에서 막의 오염을 제어하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었으며, 이것은 UV 처리 후 유기물의 양이 감소하고 특성이 변화하기 때문이었다. 따라서 UV/MF 처리는 마이크로 워터 그리드 시스템과 같은 수처리를 위한 유망한 옵션이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the healing response of various Hydroxyapatite(HA) coated dental implants by Ion-Beam Assisted Deposition(IBAD) placed in the surgically created circumferential gap in dogs. Materials and methods: In four mongrel dogs, all mandibular premolars and the first molar were extracted. After an 8 weeks healing period, six submerged type implants were placed and the circumferential cylindrical 2mm coronal defects around the implants were made surgically with customized step drills. Groups were divided into six groups : anodized surface, anodized surface with 150nm HA and heat treatment, anodized surface with 300nm HA and heat treatment, anodized surface with 150nm HA and no heat treatment, and anodized surface with 150nm HA, heat treatment and bone graft, anodized surface with bone graft. The dogs were sacrificed following 12 weeks healing period. Specimens were analyzed histologically and histomorphometrically. Results: During the healing period, healing was uneventful and implants were well maintained. Anodized surface with HA coating and $430^{\circ}C$ heat treatment showed an improved regenerative characteristics. Most of the gaps were filled with newly regenerated bone. The implant surface was covered with bone layer as base for intensive bone formation and remodeling. In case that graft the alloplastic material to the gaps, most of the coronal gaps were filled with newly formed bone and remaining graft particles. The bone-implant contact and bone density parameters showed similar results with the histological findings. The bone graft group presented the best bone-implant contact value which had statistical significance. Conclusion: Within the scope of this study, nano-scale HA coated dental implants appeared to have significant effect on the development of new bone formation. And additional bone graft is an effective method in overcoming the gaps around the implants.

액체배양 버들송이 균사체의 생육과 칼슘 흡수에 미치는 칼슘원의 영향을 조사하였다. 칼슘원의 종류에 따른 균사체의 건물량은 유의수준 5%에서 유의하지 않았으며, 칼슘원의 농도에 따른 균사체의 건물량은 농도가 500mg/L까지는 대체로 증가하는 경향이었으나 1,000mg/L 이상에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 균사체의 칼슘 함량은 칼슘원의 종류와 농도에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며, 칼슘원을 첨가하지 않고 배양한 대조구의 Ca 함량은 198.3 mg/kg이었는데 비해 칼슘을 첨가하고 배양한 경우 최소 273.7 mg/kg(1.4배)에서 최대 67,246.0 mg/kg(339.1배)까지 증가하였다. 칼슘원의 농도에 따른 균사체의 Ca 함량은 칼슘원의 농도가 증가함에 따라 균사체의 Ca 함량도 증가하였다. 배양일수에 따른 균사체의 생육은 배양 8-12일 사이 균사체의 생육속도가 가장 높았으며 16일차까지도 비교적 높은 증가율을 보였다. 배양일수에 따른 균사체의 Ca 함량은 배양기간이 짧은 어린 균사체의 경우 배양기간이 긴 성숙된 균사체에 비해 단위 건물량 당 Ca 함량이 높았다. pH에 따라서는 pH 7.0의 MCM 액체배지에서 생육이 가장 활발하였으며 Ca 함량도 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 칼슘 함량이 높은 버들송이 균사체를 생산하기 위해서 체내 흡수율이 좋고 최근 식품의 칼슘첨가제로 많이 이용되는 Ca-lactate 1,000 mg/L를 첨가한 MCM 액체배지에서 pH 조정없이 배양하여 12-16일차의 균사체를 이용하는 것이 가장 효율적이라고 판단된다.
