This paper presents a similarity coefficient based approach to the problem of machine-part grouping for cellular manufacturing. The method uses relevant production data such as part type, production volume, routing sequence to make machine cells and part families for cell formation. A new similarity coefficient using weighted factors is introduced and an algorithm for formation of machine cells and part families is developed. A comparative study of two similarity coefficients - Gupta and seifoddini's method and proposed method - is conducted. A software program using TURBO C has been developed to verify the implementation.

Transgenic animal technology has provided new opportunities in many aspects of biotechnology and medicine during two decades. Several gene delivery systems including pronuclear injection, retroviral vectors, sperm vectors, and somatic cell cloning have been tried to generate new functional animals. In the future somatic cell cloning technology will be a major method in the transgenic animal production. Many factors enhancing overall transgenic efficiency should be overcome to facilitate the industrial applications of transgenic technology. Transgenic animal technology has settled down in some areas of the medicine, especially the mass production of pharmaceutical proteins and xenotransplantation. Thus, animal biotechnology will contribute to welfare of human being.

In the cell-free systems of Dunaliella tertiolecta, fructosediphosphate aldolase hardly contribute to synthesize hexosephosphate from triosephosphate derived from pentosphosphate pathway, and it could be considered that glycerol synthesized from added glucose was synthesized but via 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde as an intermediate not hydroxypyruvate.

To investigate the characteristics of growth and oil production of peppermint cells during a batch culture, cells derived from peppermint callus was cultivated in an air bubble reactor. During the batch culture, effects of inoculum size, abiotic stress, yeast elicitor, and two stage culture on the cell growth, the productivity of oleolesin, and the formation of flavor components were determined and also the sugar concentrations and kinetics of cell growth were analyzed. Among the various sizes of inoculum, the culture with 2.0% packed cell volume inoculum showed the optimum condition for cell growth in the proposed bioreactor, and the cell yield and essential oil production reached to 5.7g/1 and 0.109g/1, respectively. When the abiotic stress of daily 8hr dark and $10^{\circ}C$ cold treatments were given to the culture cell growth decreased but essential oil production increased to 0.546g/l. In a modified Lin-Staba medium in which 100mg/l yeast extract as an elicitor was added to the culture, the cell growth and oil production increased, and menthol content was 22.5% of oil. In the two stage culture, in which the basic culture conditions of 27$^{\circ}C$, light, and without elicitor were employed during the first six days followed by the second stage with daily 8hr treatment of cold and dark condition, and also with yeast extract as an elicitor, cell growth decreased after eight days, essential oil production was not increased, and menthol was not detected. Dry cell yield was 0.38g dry cell/g sugar and specific growth rate was 0.25 day-1. The major terpenoid in the oil was not the menthol but pulegone and piperitone, precursors of menthol were accumulated. However, when yeast elicitor was added, menthol was produced to the level of 22.5% which was the highest value in the peppermint cell culture reported so far.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to study the effects of Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution on NO and IL-6 production in macrophage. Methods : At first, the RAW 264.7 macrophage was subclutured. In order to evaluate cytotoxicity, MTT assay performed. Then, the cell was induced by LPS, INF-$\gamma$ and Experimental groups were divided into five(Normal, Control, Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum 100, 200, $300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). Then Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution was put into cell. We measured IL-6, iNOS, NO. Results : The cytotoxic effect of Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution in RAW 264.7 macrophage was not appeared. $300{\mu}g/m\ell$ Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution inhibited IL-6 production in LPS, INF-$\gamma$-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages significantly. Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution inhibited iNOS revelation in LPS, INF-$\gamma$-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. All group of Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution inhibited NO production in LPS, INF-$\gamma$-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages significantly. Conclusions : Our study demonstrated that Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmacopuncture solution had an inhibition effect on NO production, iNOS revelation, IL-6 production. So Euonymi Lignum Suberatatum pharmaco puncture solution may have an Anti-inflammation effect.

In thisstudy, effects of medium components on microbial production of L-phenylalanine by Corynebacterium glutamicum were investigated. The effect of carbon source on the production of L-phenylalanine was significant. Molasses enhanced the production of L-phenylalanine compared to sucrose, glucose, fructose, or their mixture. It was noticed that trace salts were required for the cell growth and product formation in the minimal medium, but excess amounts of trace salts had no effect on the production of L-phenylalanine. It was also found that optimum amounts of biotin and thiamine were required for the cell growth and the production of L -phenylalanine.

Lupus is characterized by immunoregulatory abnormalities between T- and B-cells leading to autoantibody production and multiorgan injuries. We investigated whether bamboo culm extract (BC) ameliorates aberrant activation of T cells and B cells and attenuate production of IL-6 in pristane-induced lupus mice. Lupus was induced by i.p. a single injection of 0.5 ml of pristane in female BALB/c mice, which, later about 4 months, were used as a lupus model. The pristane-induced lupus mice and healthy mice were injected i.p. with BC 5 ${\mu}l$/kg or PBS once a day for 3 weeks. These results demonstrated that BC significantly decreased levels of serum and BAL IL-6 and production of IL-6 by macrophages with/without LPS, and downregulated expression of NKT cell and CD86+ CD45R/B220+, but not CD80+CD45R/B220+ and CD69+CD4+ in the splenocytes in pristaneinduced lupus mice. Moreover, BC greatly increased Con A-stimulated production of IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-${\gamma}$ by splenocytes obtained from pristane-induced lupus mice. Therefore, our findings suggest that BC may ameliorate lupus pathogenesis in pristane-induced lupus mice via downregulation of aberrant activation of NKT cells and B cells and inhibition of production of IL-6.
