식물세포의 세포질 $Ca^{2+}$ 이동과 관련된 $Ca^{2+}$ 수송 특성을 조사하기 위하여, 토마토 뿌리조직으로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하고, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수 실험을 수행하였다. 반응용액에 P-type ATPase의 선택적 저해제인 1 mM vanadate와 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$의 선택적 저해제인 50 mM $NO_3^-$를 첨가하였을 때, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수는 각각 20%와 33%가 저해되었고, 두 가지 저해제를 동시에 첨가하였을 때, 약 47%가 저해되었다. 이러한 저해효과의 특성을 밝히기 위하여 protonophore인 gramicidin을 처리하여 막을 경계로 형성된 $H^{+}$의 농도기울기를 감소시켰을 때, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수는 30% 가량 저해되어, 토마토 뿌리조직 마이크로솜에 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter가 존재할 가능성을 확인하였다. Gramicidin의 저해효과는 vanadate에 의한 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수 저해 이후에도 대조실험과 같은 정도로 얻어져 vanadate의 저해효과와는 무관한 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, $NO_3^-$를 처리하여 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수를 저해시킨 후, gramicidin에 의한 추가저해는 거의 관측되지 않았다. 한편, 동물조직 ER/SR-type $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$의 선택적 저해제인 thapsigargin은 마이크로솜 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수를 농도 의존적으로 저해하였으며, $10\;{\mu}M$ 농도에서 최대 저해효과를 나타냈다. Thapsigargin에 의한 저해효과는 $NO_3^-$를 사용하여 액포막 $H^{+}-ATPase$ 활성을 저해하였을 때와 gramicidin을 사용하였을 때, 현저하게 감소하였으며 , vanadate의 효과와는 무관하였다. 이러한 결과는 vanadate가 직접적으로 $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$를 저해하며, $NO_3^-$와 thapsigargin은 액포막에 위치한 $H^{+}-ATPase$의 활성을 저해하여 간접적으로 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter를 저해함을 의미한다. 결론적으로, 본 연구의 결과는 토마토 뿌리조직에 $Ca^{2+}$ 이동을 유발하는 주요 효소로서 $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$와 액포막 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter가 존재함을 보여준다.

This study was conducted to analyze the change of soil characteristics effect on the condition of urban forest in Sasang parti located near Sasang Industrial Complex. The results of this study are as follows; 1. Soil hardness is increasing from the area of forest, to the entrance, to facilities in that order. Soil acidity pH4.19∼4.23 in Sasang park indicated a high acidity condition. High levers of K, Na, Mg, Ca are shown in the areas composed of high soil hardness. 2. Pinus thunbergii in the overstory tree layer, Alnus japonica in the understory tree layer, and Rhus sylvestris in the shurb layer are shown respectively as dominant species based on the ground survey and the compution of important value. Pinus thunbergii is decreasing, while Alnus japonica and increasing. 3. Oplismenus undulatifolius which has a strong tolerance for air pollution, is shown as a dominant species of herbaceous plants in Sasang park. There are 10 species of Harbaceous in Sasang park compared to 20 species in Molundae park. This shows that deversity in herbaceous plants are imported by air pollution. 4. Species diversity indices of Sasang park is 0.8738∼0.9700 compared to 1.0817∼ 1.233 in Molundae park is due to the good condition of soil environment in addition to air pollution effects. 5. The vitality of Pinus thunbergii is 16.41∼20.42ER in Sasang park, and 12.42∼ 16.81ER, in Molundae park. This shows that tree vitality are impacted by soil characteristics.

Der Schiedsspruch hat die Wirkung eines rechtskraftigen Urteils, hat also materielle Rechtskraft. Aber die Wirkung nicht von Amts wegen zu beachten ist wie beim Urteil. Vollstreckbar ist er dagegen nicht ohne weiteres, er muß erst durch das staatlich Gericht fur vollstreckbar erklart werden. So ist vorsorglich eine Uberprufung eingeschaltet, ob der Schiedsspruch Ordnungsgemass erlassen ist, vor allem ob ein Aufhebungsgrund, denn in diesem Fall wird der Spruch nicht fur vollstreckbar erkart, sondern aufgehoben. Der Schiedsspruch bringen Nachteile und Gefahren mit sich, die von Staat wegen abzuwehrenn sind. Yon der Beachtung der guten Sitten und der offentlich Ordnung kann der Schiedsspruch nicht befreien, sonst ist der schiedsspruch aufzuheben. Wenn das Schiedsverfahren unzulassig war wegen fehlerhafter Besetzung des Schiedsgericht oder wegen Unwirksamkeit des Schiedsvertrag, die vom staatlichen Gericht uneingeschrankt nachprufbar ist. Das Schiedsgericht kann sie also nicht bindend vemeinen, ihm fehlt die Kompetenz-Kompetenz. Wegen bestimmter, abschlissend aufgezahlter verfahrensmangel, auff denen der Schiedsspruch beruht, die Aufhebung des Schiedsspruch kann verlant werden. Das Schiedsgericht konnen das schiedsgerichtliche Verfahren fortsetzen und den Schiedsspruch erlassen, auch wenn die Unzulassigkeit des schiedsrichterlichen Verfahren behaupt, insbesondere wenn geltend gemacht, dass ein rechtsgultiger Schiedsvertrag nicht bestehe oder dass der Schiedsvertrag sich auf den zu entscheidenden Streit nicht beziehe. Das Fehlenn einer gultigen Schiedsvereinbarung stellt fur auslandische Schiedsspruche ein Anerkennungs-hindernis und fur inlandische Schiedsspruche einen Aufhebungsgrund dar. Der BGH billigt einem privaten Schiedsgericht die sogenannte Kompetenz-Kompetenz- klausel zu, d. h. die Befugnis, mit bindender Wirkung fur die staatlichen Gerichte uber seine eigene Kompetenz zu entscheiden, also uber seine Zustandighkeit und damit Reichweite und Gultigkeit der betreffenden Schiedsabrede. Der BGH befand, dass das Berufungsgericht nicht befugt gewesen sei, die von dem Parteien vereinbarte Schiedsklausel im Hinblick auf ihren Umfang selbest auszulegen, ohne zuvor Beweise uber die vom Beklagten geltend gemachte Kompetenz-Kompetenz-Einrede zu erheben. Schiedsspruch eines Schiedsgericht gegen das Verbot der Entziehung des gesetzlichen Richters verstoßen wurde und auch dem Prinzip des socialen Rechtsstaat zuwiderliefe. Damit laßt sich abschließend feststellen, daß es nach Schiedsverfahrensrecht keinerlei schiedsgerichtlich Kompetenz-Kompetenz in dem Sinne gibt und geben kann, daß das private Schiedsgericht ganz oder auch teilweise mit binender Wirkung fur die staatlichen Gerichte uber die guntigkeit und Reichweite der betreffenden Schiedsabrede entscheiden darf. Auch international ist man sich daruber einig, daß es Sache der staatlichen Gerichte ist, abschliessend uber die Zustandigkeit des Schiedsgerichtes zu entscheiden.

Aims: To explore the effect and probable mechanism of a synthetic retinoid 4-amino-2-tri-fluoromethylphenyl ester (ATPR) on apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Materials and Methods: MTT assays were performed to measure the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with different concentrations of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and ATPR. Morphologic changes were observed by microscopy. The apoptosis rates and cell cycling of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with ATRA or ATPR were assessed using flow cytometry analysis. Expression of retinoic acid receptor and phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, p38 proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results: Treatment of the cells with the addition of $15{\mu}mol/L$ ATPR for 48 h clearly demonstrated reduced cell numbers and deformed cells, whereas no changes in the number and morphology were observed after treatment with ATRA. The apoptosis rate was 33.2% after breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were treated by ATPR ($15{\mu}mol/L$) whereas ATRA ($15{\mu}mol/L$) had no apoptotic effect. ATPR inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 while ATRA had no significant effect. ATPR inhibited the expression of BiP and increased the expression of Chop at the protein level compared with control groups, ATRA and ATPR both decreased the protein expression of $RXR{\alpha}$, ATPR reduced the protein expression of $RAR{\beta}$ and $RXR{\beta}$ while ATRA did not decrease $RAR{\beta}$ or $RXR{\beta}$. Conclusions: ATPR could induce apoptosis of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, possible mechanisms being binding to $RAR{\beta}/RXR{\beta}$ heterodimers, then activation of ER stress involving the MAPK pathway.

Catalytic gasification of mandarin waste residue was carried out using direct and indirect catalyst-contact methods for the first time. In the indirect method, non-catalytic reaction in a reactor was followed by catalytic upgrading of vapor product in another reactor. Two different catalysts, $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, were employed. $CeO_2-ZrO_2$ support was prepared using hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical water. The catalysts were characterized by $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. Under the condition of equivalent ratio (ER) = 0, the indirect catalyst-contact method led to a higher gas yield than the direct method. Under ER = 0.2, the yield of biogas obtained over $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was higher than that obtained over $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Also, the coke formation of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was lower than that of $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Such results were attributed to the higher reducibility and better lattice oxygen mobility of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, which were advantageous for partial oxidation reaction.

Background: Black ginseng (Ginseng Radix nigra, BG) refers to the ginseng steamed for nine times and fine roots (hairy roots) of that is called fine black ginseng (FBG). It is known that the content of saponin of FBG is higher than that of BG. Therefore, in this study, we examined antitumor effects against MCF-7 breast cancer cells to target the FBG extract and its main component, ginsenoside Rg5 (Rg5). Methods: Action mechanism was determined by MTT assay, cell cycle assay and western blot analysis. Results: The results from MTT assay showed that MCF-7 cell proliferation was inhibited by Rg5 treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h in a dose-dependent manner. Rg5 at different concentrations (0, 25, 50 and $100{\mu}M$), induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase through regulation of cell cycle-related proteins in MCF-7 cells. As shown in the results from western blot analysis, Rg5 increased expression of p53, $p21^{WAF1/CIP1}$ and $p15^{INK4B}$ and decreased expression of Cyclin D1, Cyclin E2 and CDK4. Expression of apoptosiserelated proteins including Bax, PARP and Cytochrome c was also regulated by Rg5. These results indicate that Rg5 stimulated cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase via regulation of cell cycle-associated proteins in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion: Rg5 promotes breast cancer cell apoptosis in a multi-path manner with higher potency compared to 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) in MCF-7 (HER2/ER+) and MDA-MB-453 (HER2+/ER) human breast cancer cell lines, and this suggests that Rg5 might be an effective natural new material in improving breast cancer.

This study was carried out to establish an effective and practical system for commercialization of embryo production techniques by analyzing several factors influencing in vivo embryo production on days and seasons of flushing in Korean native cattle. In vivo embryos were flushed 226 times from 128 donors. The results obtained for the factors influencing in vivo embryo production on days and seasons of flushing were as follows :1.The percentages of fertilized, transferable and freezable embryos by seasons were significantly different in both FSR-P and SUPER-OV(P<0.01). The percentages of them were highest in sunrrner with FS H-P and highest in autumn with SUPER -OV.2. The production of transferable and freezable embryos by flushing days was highest in 8 days with FSH-P, and there was no difference between 7 and 8 days for SUP ER-OV. 3. The failure rates of recovery were 17.0% in SUPER-OV and 21.2% in FSH-P, respectively. The donors superovulated but failed recovery were 8.5% in SUPER-OV and 12.9% in FSH-P, respectively. Nonsuperovulated donors was 8.4% and donors giving less than 2 eggs at recovery was 8.4% in both FSH -P and SUPER-OV 4. The donors returned to normal estrus after superovulation were 34.1% after 1 cycle,39.4% after 2 cycles, and 16.7% after 3 cycles by FSH-P, respectively. For SUPER-OV, they were 55.3, 33.0 and 9.6%, respectively. Generally, normal estrus after the treatment of superovulation was earlier and the occurrence of ovarian cyst was also lower in SUP ER-OV than in FSH-P.5.The percentages of blastocyst in embryos flushed at 7~8 days after estrus were 21. 9% and 54.3% in FSH -P and SUPER-OV, respectively. The development of embryos was faster in SUPER-OV than in FSH-P.(Key words : in vivo embryo, flushing days, superovulation, FSH-P, SUPER-OV)

Yeast pheromone a-factor is a 13-amino acid peptide hormone that is synthesized as a part of a larger precursor, prepro-$\alpha$-factor, consisting of a signal peptide and a proregion of 64 amino acids. The carboxy-terminal half of the precursor contains four tandem copies of mature $\alpha$-factor. To investigate the molecular basis of intracellular sorting, proteolytic processing, and storage of the peptide hormone, yeast prepro-$\alpha$-factor precursors were heterologously expressed in rat pituitary $GH_3 cells. When cells harboring the precursor were metabolically labeled, a species of approximately 27 kD appeared inside the cells. Digestion with peptide: N-glycosidase F (PNG-F) shifted the molecular mass to a 19 kD, suggesting that the 27 kD protein was the glycosylated form as in yeast cells. The nascent polypeptide is efficiently targeted to the ER in the $GH_3 cells, where it undergoes cleavage of its signal peptide and core glycosylation to generate glycosylated pro-a-factor. To look at the post ER intracellular processing, the pulse-labelled cells were chased up to 2 hrs. The nascent propeptides disappeared from the cells at a half life of 30 min and only 10-25% of the newly synthesized, unprocessed precursors were stored intracellularly after the 2 h chase. However, about 20% of the pulse-labeled pro-$\alpha$-factor precursors were secreted into the medium in the pro-hormone form. With increasing chase time, the intracellular level of propeptide decreased, but the amount of secreted propeptide could not account for the disappearance of intracellular propeptide completely. This disappearance was insensitive to lysosomotropic agents, but was inhibited at $16^{circ}C or 20^{\circ}C$, suggesting that the turnover of the precursors was not occurring in the secretory pathway to trans Golgi network (TGN) or dependent on acidic compartments. From these results, it is concluded that a pan of these heterologous precursors may be processed at its paired dibasic sites by prohormone processing enzymes located in TGN/secretpry vesicles producing small peptides, and that the residual unprocessed precursors may be secreted into the medium rather than degraded intracellularly.

본 연구는 인간의 체외수정 program으로 부터 생산된 여분의 배반포기 배를 이용하여 현미경에 의한 형태학적 판정과 differential labelling 기법을 이용한 세포 수의 상관관계를 조사하고자 실시하였다. 공시된 인간 배반포기 배는 체외수정 후 5일째에 36명의 환자로부터 76개를 얻어 배반포강의 확대와 투명대 두께의 감소를 기준으로 early (ErB), early expanding (BEB), middle expanding (MEB) 및 expanded blastocyst (EdB)로 구분하였다. 분류된 배반포기 배의 크기와 투명대의 두께를 micrometer로 측정하였을 때, 그 크기는 각각 $148.8-217.6{\mu}m$, $1.2-14.4{\mu}m$로 나타나 같은 배양조건에서 생산된 배아라도 그 차이는 크게 나타났다. Hoechst 염색을 이용하여 배반포기 배의 총 세포수를 조사하였을 때, 체외수정 후 5일째 생산된 배반포기 배는 ErB $(39.1{\pm}3.6)$ 에서 EdB $(89.6{\pm}3.3)$ 로 진행되는 동안 두배에서 세배정도 증가되는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한, differential labelling기법 을 이용한 배반포기 배의 inner cell mass (ICM) 와 trophectoderm (TE) 세포수 조사 결과, 각각 $11.9{\pm}1.8-22.2{\pm}4.3$, $24.5{\pm}3.6-70.0{\pm}7.7$을 나타내어 발달이 진행될수록 ICM과 TE세포수도 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 형태학적으로 약한 ICM으로 판정된 EdB의 경우 differential labelling 후, 역시 적은 ICM 세포수를 나타내어 형태학적 판정과 세포수간에 밀접한 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, ICM과 TE를 differential labelling하는 기법은 인간 배반포기 배의 quality를 평가하는데 매우 유용한 기법으로 형태학적인 구분과 병용된다면 인간 배반포기 배 이식 program의 임신율 증진을 위한 배아 선별의 중요한 자료로서 이용될 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
