Two-dimensional cultivation is typically used for cell growth, but the method reduces the characteristics of chondrocytes and stem cells, and limits culture area. Therefore, development of three-dimensional culture method is needed to mimic in vivo environment, improve quality of cells and scale-up efficiently. Improving proliferation and chondrogenesis is available by co-culture of chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that leads to interaction between two kinds of cells. However, the co-culture has problems that permeability of sphere diminishes as aggregate size increased and ratio of two kinds of cells composing each spheres is different. In this work, co-cultivation method using controlled sphere composed of chondrocytes and MSCs was established and enhanced chondrogenesis. Periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs) that are appropriate for cell therapy source of articular cartilage were used as MSCs. Controlled spheres were formed in the hanging-drop plates and shifted for being induced chondrogenesis in 35-mm non-adhesive culture dishes at a rotation rate of 60 rpm. After inducing chondrogenesis, gene expressions related with chondrogenesis were found to be improved and it was apparent that the utilization of controlled spheres promoted chondrogenesis. As a result, available numbers of cells per unit area were increased and chondrogenic differentiation ability was improved compared to typical two-dimensional culture. This approach shows the potential in cartilage regeneration as it can provide sufficient numbers of chondrocytes.

A cellulose-producing strain isolated from rotten apples was identified as Gluconacetobacter hansenii based on its physiological properties and the 16S rDNA complete sequencing method, and specifically named Gluconacetobacter hansenii PJK. The amount of bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by G. hansenii PJK in a shaking incubator was 1.5 times higher than that produced in a static culture. The addition of ethanol to the medium during cultivation enhanced the productivity of bacterial cellulose, plus the supplementation of 1% ethanol into the culture medium made the produced BC aggregate into a big lump and thus protected the bacterial-cellulose-producing G. hansenii PJK cells in the shear stress field from being converted into non-cellulose-producing (Cel) mutants. Cells subcultured three times in a medium containing ethanol retained their ability to produce BC without any loss in the production yield.

Current studies have revealed the capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in term of immunomodulatory properties, and this distinct potential is downgraded according to the disease duration of patients-derived MSCs. In order to enhance the immunomodulatory and anti-tumorigenic properties of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints-derived MSCs, we aggregate synovial fluid-derived MSCs from RA joints (RA-hMSCs) into 3D-spheroids by the use of hanging drop culture method. Cells were isolated from synovial fluids of RA joints with longstanding active status over 13 years. For aggregation of RA-hMSCs into 3D-spheroids, cells were plated in hanging drops in 30 μL of advanced DMEM (ADMEM) containing 25,000-30,000 cells/drop and cultured for 48 h. To analyze the comparative immunomodulatory effects of 3D-spheroid and 2D monolayer cultured RA-hMSCs and then cells were cultured in ADMEM supplemented with 20% of synovial fluids of RA patients for 48 h and were evaluated by qRT-PCR for their expression of mRNA levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers. Cellular aggregation of RA-hMSCs was observed and cells were aggregate into a single sphere. Following treatment of RA patient's synovial fluids into the RA-hMSCs, spheroids formed RA-hMSCs showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression of TNFα stimulated gene/protein 6 (TSG-6) than the monolayer cultured RA-hMSCs. Therefore, the 3D-spheroid culture methods of RA-hMSCs were more effective than 2D monolayer cultures in suppressing inflammatory response treated with 20% of RA-synovial fluids by expression of TNFα (TSG-6) according to the immune response and enhanced secretion of inflammatory factors.

Suspension culture is a useful tool for culturing embryonic stem (ES) cells in large-scale, but the stability of pluripotency and karyotype has to be maintained $in$ $vitro$ for clinical application. Therefore, we investigated whether the chromosomal abnormality of ES cells was induced in suspension culture or not. The ES cells were cultured in suspension as a form of aggregate with or without mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), and 0 or 1,000 U/ml leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) was treated to suspended ES cells. After culturing ES cells in suspension, their karyotype, DNA content, and properties of pluripotency and differentiation were evaluated. As a result, the formation of tetraploid ES cell population was significantly increased in suspension culture in which ES cells were co-cultured with both MEFs and LIF. Tetraploid ES cell population was also generated when ES cells were cultured alone in suspension regardless of the existence of LIF. On the other hand, the formation of tetraploid ES cell population was not detected in LIF-free condition, in which MEFs were included. The origin of tetraploid ES cell population was turned out to be E14 ES cells and not MEFs by microsatellite analysis and the basic properties of them were still maintained despite ploidy-conversion to tetraploidy. Furthermore, we identified the ploidy shift from tetraploidy to near-triploidy as tetraploid ES cells were differentiated spontaneously. From these results, we demonstrated that suspension culture system could induce ploidy-conversion generating tetraploid ES cell population. Moreover, optimization of suspension culture system may make possible mass-production of ES cells.

Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus strain PA15 exhibited a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 11 mM in an LGI medium amended with $ZnCl_2$. When an LGI medium was amended with Zn metal, solubilization halos were observed in a plate assay, and further solubilization was confirmed in a broth assay. The maximum solubilization was recorded after 120 h with a 0.1% Zn metal amendment. During solubilization, the culture growth and pH of the broth were indirectly correlated. Using a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis, one of the agents solubilizing the Zn metal was identified as gluconic acid. When the Zn-amended broth was observed under a bright field microscope, long involution cells were observed, and further analysis with Atomic Force Microscopy revealed highly deformed, pleomorphic, aggregate-like cells.

The purpose of this study is to systematically examine fusion phenomenon in the cultural aspect aiming to grasp the characteristics of fusion phenomenon, which has a steady impact on fashion trend. A reason for fusion to be noted as a cultural code is because diversely cultural interpretations are impossible from one viewpoint. Therefore, it is aimed to inquire into the characteristics of fusion culture, which is one phenomenon of newly mass culture, and to examine which cultural fusion phenomenon in modern fashion is being displayed in fashion design. First, the culturally fusion phenomenon, which was indicated in modern fashion, is displayed as repetition. The fusion, which integrates into fashion as a cultural code, is a trend of pursuing the experience with different culture. The needs of consumers are shown as fusion fashion that repeatedly uses the traditional detail and the modern detail through cultural repetition. Second, it is displayed as transformation. A concept of fusion is not the simple aggregate in [1+1=2], but the creation of new culture called [1+1=1]. In modern fashion, the cultures in the East and the West are harmoniously transformed, and through transformation, each culture is being compressively delivered. Third, it is displayed as interdependency. The fusion fashion which was newly re-interpreted while having reciprocal influence upon mutual culture, is re-interpreted by forming the equal relationship in heterogeneous elements without destroying fashion that was made previously.

최근 유구치의 치수절단술 약제로 MTA의 임상 적용이 문헌들에서 보고된 바 있으나 MTA 표면에서 일어나는 유치 치수 세포의 반응에 대한 시험관내 연구는 많이 보고되지 않았다. 이번 연구의 목적은 유치 및 영구치에서 유래한 치수기질세포가 경화된 MTA 표면에서 나타내는 증식 및 분화 능력을 비교 평가하는 것이었다. 사람 영구치와 유치 치수 조직에서 분리된 치수기질세포를 경화된 MTA 표면에서 배양 후 세포증식율과 세포주기를 검사하였으며, 정량적 역전사 중합효소 연쇄반응(RT-PCR)을 사용하여 분화양상을 분석하였다. Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2)와 alkaline phosphatase(ALP)가 정량적 RT-PCR의 표지자로 사용되었고, MTA 표면에서 증식된 치수기질세포의 형태학적 변화를 주사전자현미경 하에서 관찰하였다. 영구치와 유치의 치수기질세포군은 세포증식률, 세포주기 분포 및 mRNA 발현 양상에 있어서 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 주사전자현미경 상에서 두 군 모두 수지상 형태를 나타내었다. MTA 상에서 관찰된 유치와 영구치의 치수기질세포의 비슷한 증식력 및 광화를 유도하는 세포로의 분화능은 유치의 치수절단술 제재로 MTA가 생체친화적으로 적합함을 보여준다.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 치근단 역충전재로 널리 사용되고 있는 MTA와 새롭게 개발된 제품인 DB를 MG63 세포를 사용하여 비교하는 것이다. 치근단 역충전재료로는 MTA, DB, IRM을 사용하였고 대조군으로는 tissue culture plastic을 사용하였다. 각 재료를 혼합하고 혼합물의 경화가 일어나도록 24시간 동안 놓아두었다. MG63 세포를 각 군에 뿌려준 후 세포가 재료에 부착될 수 있도록 4시간 배양하였다. 치근단 역충전재를 세포에 접촉시킨 후 세포수준의 초기 반응을 관찰하였다. 12시간 더 배양한 후 세포가 각 재료에 붙어 있는 정도를 관찰하고, 각 재료가 골형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 ELISA를 이용하여 $TGF{\beta}1$, OC를 측정하였고 ALP의 양도 측정하였다. 결과는 일원배치분산분석법으로 통계처리하였다. 그 결과, 재료에 부착이 일어난 세포의 수 항목과 OC 항목에서만 MTA와 DB간에 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 다른 항목들에서는 모든 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. DB가 MTA와 완전히 같은 세포반응을 보이지는 않았지만 부착이 일어난 세포의 수는 재료의 생체적합성을 나타내며 OC는 골형성 정도를 나타내므로 DB가 역충전 재료로 사용된다면 MTA와 유사한 결과를 보일 것으로 예측된다.
