고분자 생체재료에서 세포부착과 성장은 재료의 적심성, 화학구조, 표면전하 및 거칠기 등의 표면 성질에 의존한다. 본 연구에서는 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 필름 (LDPE)의 표면 적심성과 골수유래 줄기세포의 증식 및 성장성을 측정하기 위하여 플라즈마 처리를 실시하였으며 개질된 필름 표면의 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 LDPE 필름에서의 세포부착과 증식률은 세포수 관찰과 역전사 중합효소 연쇄반응으로 확인하였다. 표면성질의 하나인 물 접촉각 측정 결과 플라즈마 처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 필름표면의 접촉각이 감소하였으며 암형성 유전자와 암억제 유전자의 발현률이 60∼70$^{\circ}$ 사이에서 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 세포수 관찰을 통해 접촉각이 60∼70$^{\circ}$인 표면에서 세포 증식률이 우수하여 표면성질이 세포의 성장과 분화에 중요함을 확인하였다.

;It has been reported that suspension-cultured rice cells grown on mixed carbon sources of glucose (GIc) and acetate exhibited diauxic growth in which acetate was the preferred carbon source (Lee and Lee, 1996). Carrot (Daucus carota L.) suspension cells, showing a diauxic growth very similar to that of rice cells, were used to delineate the mechanisms underlying this preferential use of acetate over GIc. Uptakes of both GIc and 3-0-methylglucose (3-0MG), a non-metabolizable GIc analogue, were similarly inhibited when acetate or butylate, weak acids which are capable of transporting protons into the cytosol, were present in the uptake assay mixture containing cells harvested during the GIc-utilizing second growth phase. Inhibition of GIc uptake by these weak acids was similar when equivalent experiments were carried out with isolated plasma membranes. It was further shown that Glc uptake, which requires a proper proton gradient across the plasma membranes, was inhibited during the first growth phase by acetate-mediated alkalization of growth medium and/or simultaneous acidification of cytosol. This study strongly suggests that Glc utilization in plant cells is inhibited by co-presenting carbon source(s) which can alter the proton gradient across the plasma membrane. We further examined diauxic growth in culture containing GIc and malate. Unlike the case in the culture with GIc and acetate, carrot cells used GIc first. Malate was utilized only after Glc is depleted from medium. These results indicate that GIc can be a preferred or less-preferred carbon source depending on the competing carbon source. It was noted that malate was not directly taken up by cells. Instead it was converted extracellularly into fumarate which was subsequently transported into cells. During the malate-growth phase malate uptake was negligible, and fumarate uptake was active and pH-sensitive. It was shown that fumarase released into medium was responsible for the extracellular conversion of malate into fumarate. An immunoblot experiments showed that fumarase antibody raised against Arabidopsis fumarase provided positive signals only in medium in malate culture, not in fumarate or GIc cultures. This study demonstrates the first example in that fumarase, a mitochondria marker enzyme, can be present in places other than mitochondria.ndria.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of taurine and vitamin E on ovarian granulosa cells damaged by bromopropane (BP) in pigs. We evaluated cell viability, plasma membrane integrity (PMI) and apoptotic morphological change in porcine ovarian granulosa cells. The cells were treated with 1-BP (0, 5.0, 10, and $50{\mu}M$), 2-BP (0, 5.0, 10, and 50 mM), taurine (0, 5.0, 10, and 25 mM), and vitamin E (0, 100, 200, and $400{\mu}M$) for 24 h. $10{\mu}M$ 1-BP and $50{\mu}M$ 2-BP inhibited viability and PMI, and induced apoptosis in porcine ovarian granulosa cells (p < 0.05). Cell viability and PMI were increased by taurine (10 and 25 mM) and vitamin E (100 and $200{\mu}M$), and apoptosis decreased (p < 0.05). Finally, the porcine ovarian granulosa cells were co-treated with BPs ($10{\mu}M$), taurine (10 mM) and/or vitamin E ($200{\mu}M$). Cell viability and PMI in the co-treated cells were increased, and apoptosis was decreased. In conclusion, taurine and vitamin E can improve cell viability and inhibition of apoptosis in porcine ovarian granulosa cells damaged by bromopropane.

In the present study, carbon supports mixed with purified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and carbon blacks (CBs) were used to improve the cell performance of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Additionally, the effect of $O_2$ plasma treatment on CBs/MWNTs supports was investigated for different plasma RF powers of 100, 200, and 300 W. The surface and structural properties of the CBs/MWNTs supports were characterized by FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The electrocatalytic activity of PtRu/CBs/MWNTs catalysts was investigated by cyclic voltammetry measurement. In the experimental results, the oxygen functional groups of the supports were increased with increasing plasma RF power, while the average Pt particle size was decreased owing to the improvement of dispersibility of the catalysts. The electrochemical activity of the catalysts for methanol oxidation was gradually improved by the larger available active surface area, itself due to the introduction of oxygen functional groups. Consequently, it was found that $O_2$ plasma treatments could influence the surface properties of the carbon supports, resulting in enhanced electrocatalytic activity of the catalysts for DMFCs.

The $O_2$ plasma treatment is used as improvement of ITO roughness glass for organic light-emitting diodes and organic photovoltaic cells. This study examined the effect of the electrical properties of OLED according to variation of $O_2$ plasma power. In experiment, we found that the electrical characteristics of device are excellent when the power of $O_2$ plasma is 250 W. And when the power of $O_2$ plasma increases over 250 W, the electrical properties were getting worse. $O_2$ plasma treatment not only prevents the diffusion of indium, a metal constituent, to an organic layer but also plays a significant role as improvement of ITO roughness. By considering organic light-emitting diodes treating $O_2$ plasma, it could contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of the device.

Adult rabbits were anesthetized with nembutal, 30 mg/kg. Carotid artery and jugular vein were exposed surgically and cannulated with polyethylene tubing. Arterial blood pressure was recorded via pressure transducer on the physiograph and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of histamine solution was infused through the jugular vein by using the constant infusion pump with a rate of 0.92 ml/min or 1.40 ml/min. Mean arterial blood pressure was maintained at $40{\sim}70 mmHg$ and hypotension was kept for 2 hours. After the termination of this period, blood was taken and osmotic fragility was mea sured immediately. Also, every sample of normal blood and shocked blood was incubated for 1 hour or 2 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ in order to see whether or not there was some influence of incubation. Furthermore to clarify which component was responsible for the change on the fragility, the mixtures of normal blood cells with shocked plasma and shocked blood cells with normal plasma were also incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for one or two hours and fragility in such cases was measured. The data obtained were analysed by probit-plot method and the concentration of saline solution at which the hemolysis started to occur, 50% of blood cells were hemolysed and that at which the red blood cells hemolysed completely were determined. The values for the blood of hypotension stage were compared with those of the control blood. The results obtained were as fellows: 1. Osmotic fragility of red blood cell was increased in hypotensive state induced by histamine. 2. The differences of osmotic fragility after two hours of incubation were negligible both in normal blood and in that of hypotensive state. 3. Osmotic resistance of normal red blood cell incubated in shock plasma was less than that of shock red blood cell incubated in normal plasma. It was suggested that plasma in hypotensive state caused by histamine might be primarily responsible for the alteration of red blood cell fragility.

생체 조직 내에서 표지인자의 발견은 해당 세포의 특성과 기능을 이해하는 데 매우 중요하다. 이전의 연구에서 본 연구진은 돼지정원줄기세포에서 특이적으로 IGFBP 3가 발현되어 표지인자로의 가능성을 보고한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 IGFBP 3이외의 다른 family member가 정원줄기세포에서 특이적으로 발현하는 지와, 이의 발현을 조절하는 PAPP-A의 조직학적인 측면에서의 발현 양상을 5일령 돼지 정소에서 확인하였다. 그 결과 IGFBP 1, 2, 3, 4, 6의 발현은 정소 전체에서 발현되는 수준보다 돼지 정원줄기세포에서 더 높은 수준에서 발현하고 있음을 확인하였다. PAPP-A는 sertoli cell에서 특이적으로 발현하며, 정원줄기세포에서는 발현하지 않는 것을 PGP9.5와의 동시-조직염색으로 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 Sertoli cell에서 발현하는 PAPP-A 단백질은 미성숙 돼지 정소에서 IGFBP family를 통해 정소 세포의 발달과 분화를 조절할 것으로 판단된다.
