바지락 (Ruditapes philippinarum) 은 우리나라 조간대에 널리 분포하며 잘 발달된 생체조절 능력을 가지고 있어 환경모니터링 종으로서 가치가 높은 생물이다. 본 연구는 산업활동으로 해양환경에서 그 농도가 높아지고 있으며 생물체에 강한 독성을 가진 카드뮴이 바지락의 세포성 면역에 미치는 영향을 연구함으로써 바지락의 면역 기작을 이해하고 환경 모니터링 기법으로의 적용 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 실시되었다. 실험을 위하여 바지락은 $50\;{\mu}g/l$의 카드뮴에 8일간 노출되었으며, 유세포 분석기를 이용하여 혈구의 미분화 세포의 구성비율, DNA 손상도, 혈구괴사율, 혈구 apoptosis 비율 및 혈구사망율을 측정하였다. 조사 결과 카드뮴에 노출된 바지락은 대조구와 비교하여 미분화세포, DNA 손상도, 세포괴사율, 세 apoptosis 비율 및 세포 사망율이 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 특히 apoptosis 비율은 세포괴사율보다 높게 증가함에 따라 바지락 혈구의 경우 본 연구에서 사용된 카드뮴의 농도는 세포괴사보다는 apoptosis를 유도하는데 더 효과적인 농도인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통하여 중금속 오염에 대한 바지락의 세포성 면역반응은 유세포 분석기를 이용하여 정량이 가능하였으며, 세포성 면역반응을 이용한 환경모니터링에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was designed 1) to compare the distributions of periapical inflammatory cells and 2) to identify lymphocytes and compare the lymphocyte distribution with T lymphocyte subpopulation and then 3) to examine the distribution of cycling cell in human dental periapical lesions. From each of the twenty-five human dental periapical lesions observed one small portion was fixed, embeded in paraffin, sectioned serially and stained with HE. The periapical inflammatory cells were counted to obtain the relative concentration of lymphocyte, plasma cell, macrophage and neutrophil. The large part of each lesion was analysed using Flow cytometer and monoclonal antibodies to obtain the relative concentration of T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, T'helper cell and T suppressor/cytotoxic cell. In addition to that, seven human dental periapical lesions were examined with DNA analysis to observe the distribution of cycling cell. Following results were obtained: 1. 24 cases of the 32 periapical lesions examined were diagnosed as periapical granuloma and the remaining 8 cases as periapical cyst. Lymphocytes comprised 42.1% of total inflammatory cells in periapical granuloma and 41.8% in periapical cyst. Corresponding percentages for macrophages were 33.8% and 30.3%; for plasma cells, 15.9% and 19.0%; for neutrophils, 8.2% and 8.8%. 2. All of the periapical lesions examined had T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, T helper cell, T suppressor/cytotoxic cell. And in all cases, T lymphocytes were observed predominantly more than B lymphocytes. 3. In 2 cases of the control group only T lymphocytes were found, and in the remaining 2 cases T lymphocytes were observed predominantly. 4. T helper cells were observed predominantly more than T suppressor/cytotoxic cells in all cases of perapical granulomas. 5. T suppressor/cytotoxic cells were observed predominantly more than T helper cells in 4 cases of periapical cysts (total 5 cases were examined) and only in one case T helper cells were more than T suppressor/cytotoxic cells. 6. In control group, T helper cells were predominant in 2 cases and T helper cells were equivalent to T suppressor/cytotoxic cells in one case. In remaining one case T suppressor/cytotoxic cells were predominant. 7. As the result of DNA analysis, the average proliferating indices of the various groups examined were measured as follows: in the control group 5.45%, in periapical granuloma 6.64%, in periapical cyst 10.1%. The highest index was observed in periapical cyst.

배경: 요배양검사는 요로감염 진단을 위한 표준검사로 가장 흔히 의뢰되는 미생물 배양 검사 중 하나이다. 소변 자동분석기는 감염과 관련된 많은 정보를 제공한다. 최근 개발된 Sysmex UF-5000 (Sysmex, Japan)은 유세포분석 방법에 의해 세균, 효모균, 백혈구 등의 입자를 정량적으로 측정하고, 그람 염색성 정보를 제공한다. 저자들은 UF-5000을 이용하여 불필요한 요배양검사를 얼마나 선별할 수 있는지 평가하였다. 방법: 요배양검사가 의뢰된 453 검체 중 비뇨기과/신장내과 의뢰 검체를 제외한 126 검체를 대상으로 요시험지봉검사와 UF-5000으로 검사를 시행하여 요배양검사 결과와 비교하였다. 소변 배양은 집락수가 $10^4CFU/mL$ 이상인 경우 양성으로 판정하였다. 결과: UF-5000의 세균 수 $50/{\mu}L$이하, 효모양 세포 $100/{\mu}L$ 이하를 기준으로 했을 때 분석 대상 요배양의 38.1% (48/126), 전체 요배양 453건의 10.6%를 불필요한 요배양검사로 선별해 낼 수 있었다. 결론: UF-5000에서 산출된 세균 및 효모양 세포의 수로 음성 배양 결과를 예측할 수 있으며 약 10%의 불필요한 배양검사를 줄일 수 있다.

AS decreased the proliferation of thymocytes and splenocytes. 3. AR and AS decreased No production fron peritoneal macrophages 4. AR and AS were accelerate T-lymphocytes apoptosis. 5. AR and AS increased $T_C$ cells population, but decreased $T_H$ cells population of T-lymphocyte.

Acetylarsonate was prepared for testing antitumor and immunological effects. It showed cytotoxicity directly on Sarcoma 180. L1210 and MOLT-4 by MTT assay. It did not seemed to trigger the mitosis of human lymphocytes in culture, but that showed the cytotoxicity with higher dose. The rosette formation and spleen weight of mouse which acetylarsonate was administered to for 2 weeks were increased. Furthermore, peripheral helper T- and cytotoxic/suppressor T-lymphocytes were increased in acetylarsonate-injected-mice significantly when it was estimated with simultaneous 2 color analysis using anti Lyt2-FITC and L3T4-PE monoclonal antibody by Flow cytometer.

Flow cytometer(유식세포분석분리기:FCM)는 부유되어 있는 세포의 여러 특성을 측정할 수 있도록 고안되었기 때문에 동물의 체내에 있는 세포중 자연적으로 부유되어 있는 혈구세포를 분석하기가 가장 용이하다. 면역계에서 가장 중추적인 역할을 담당하며 면역반응에 특이성과 기억능력 등을 부여하는 림프구와 탐색작용을 가장 왕성히 나타내는 과립구나 단구 등이 혈액내에 존재하기 때문에 FCM을 이용하여 개체의 방어기능을 맡고 있는 면역세포를 분석하는 일이 가장 먼저 활발히 이루어졌음은 당연하였다. 도한 1970년대 면역학이 큰 발전에 이룩한 단크론항체가 Miller와 Kohler에 의하여 개발되었기 때문에 면역세포의 분화항원에 대한 여러 종류의 단크론항체는 FCM의 이용으로 면역세포를 여러 아형으로 분석하고 분리가 가능하게 하였다. 마지막으로 FCM이 최근에 개발된 것에 맞추어 세포성 면역학이 30년 전부터 급속도로 연구되었으므로 면역학적 연구가 FCM의 이용으로 더욱 활성화되었음은 주지의 사실이다. 이런 시점에서 저자는 FCM의 원리와 면역생물학에서의 FCM의 역할에 대하여 간단히 소개하려고 한다.

We used a flow cytometer to investigate the variations in endopolyploidy (the frequencies of nuclei with DNA contents equivalent to 4C through 16C) during the short period of the early growing stage in vigorously growing young tissues of maize seedlings. We examined different portions of the root and leaves that had been growing for 7 (day 7) and 13 (day 13) days after germination. Endoreplication showed two opposing phenomena without aging. In one case, the endopolyploidy of the first leaf was higher on day 13 than on day 7. In the latter case, endopolyploidy decreased, as clearly revealed by a comparison of the endopolyploidy of the second leaves and the 160-170 mm portion of the seminal root on days 7 and 13. Endopolyploidy was also lower in the top of the leaf. In roots, endopolyploidy was increased by the exogenous application of abscisic acid for only 1 day. The levels of endopolyploidy increased without an increase in cell size in the roots. These results showed that endoreplication occurs in actively growing and young tissue and that the variation can be induced in the short period examined.

Plant-derived triterpenoids commonly possesses biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-viral and anti-cancer. Luvunga scandens is one of the plant that produced triterpenoids. The aims of the study was to analyze cell cycle profile and to determine the expression of p53 unregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), caspase-8 and caspase-9 genes at mRNA level in MCF-7 cell line treated with two triterpenoids, flindissol (1) and 3-oxotirucalla-7,24-dien-21-oic-acid (2) isolated from L. scandens. The compounds were tested for cell cycle analysis using flow cytometer and mRNA expression level using quantitative RT-PCR. The number of MCF-7 cells population which distributed in Sub G1 phase after treated with compound 1 and 2 were 7.7 and 9.3% respectively. The evaluation of the expression of genes showed that both compounds exhibited high level of expression of PUMA, caspase-8 and caspase-9 as normalized to ${\beta}-actin$ via activation of those genes. In summary, the isolated compounds of L. scandens plant showed promising anticancer properties in MCF-7 cell lines.

CD4+ T-cell count determines the effectiveness for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although ART slows the progression of HIV to AIDS, rapid counting of CD4+ T lymphocytes with a drop of patient's blood sample is urgently needed to ensure timely ART treatment in rural areas. Recently point-of-care CD4 testing devices have been developed by using non-flow based imaging cytometer incorporated with a sample cartridge where CD4+ T cells are reacted with fluorescently tagged specific antibodies. Here we conducted an experimental study using a conventional fluorescence microscope-based imaging system to quantitate the interaction of CD4 antibodies with CD4+ T cells at different reaction conditions. We demonstrated that a fast and affordable point-of-care CD4 test is feasible with a far less amount of antibodies and a shorter incubation time compared with a conventional sample preparation protocol for flow cytometry. We also proposed a general method to evaluate and compare the detection limit across different CD4 counting platforms by using fluorescently labelled microbeads for intensity calibration.
