본 연구는 2007년 만경강의 중∙상류의 3개 지점을 선정하여 어류의 길드특성 및 조직별 수은 함량을 분석하였다. 어류의 종조성 분석에 따르면 7과 26종이 채집되었으며, 주요 우점종은 갈겨니(47%)로 수질오염에 쉽게 사라지는 민감종(Senstive species)이 우점하였다. 상류의 S1지점은 균등도 및 종 다양도가 낮게 나타났으나 그 밖의 2개의 지점들에서는 종다양도 및 풍부도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 내성도 길드 분석에 의하면 S1과 S2 지점에서는 민감종의 비율이 각각 70%, 42%을 보였으나 반면 공단이 나 도심지의 점오염원에 의해 영향을 받는 S3 지점은 민감종의 비율 감소(1%) 및 내성종의 비율(60%)이 증가하였다. 트로픽 길드 분석에서는 충식종의 비율이 S1에서 S3으로 갈수록 감소하였다. 이런 특성은 유기물질(BOD, COD), 영양염류(TN, TP), 전기전도도, 대장균수 및 부유물질에 근거한 이∙화학적 수질 평가 결과와 일치하였다. 물리적서식지평가(QHEI)는 3지점에서 모두 ‘양호’상태로 나타나 물리적 서식지가 양호한 상태일지라도 수질에 의해 어류의 종구성이 달라질 수 있음을 나타냈다. 어류의 조직(tissue) 내의 총 수은 함량 분석에 따르면, 평균 농도는 149.6 μg kg-1로서 식약청의 기준(500 μg kg-1) 에 따르면 어류 건강성에 영향을 줄만한 농도는 아닌 것으로 평가되었다. 각 조직별 수은 농축도는 근육에서 가 장 높았고, 신장, 척추, 간, 아가미의 순으로 나타났다.

Cancer cure and survival rate related directly to the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. New techniques fOl ea rly screen system and diagnosis of normal and cancer a re required. Here, we investigate optical properties-based optical s igna tures of normal and cancer tissues that are different chemica lly and physically. At least 7 cases of each tissue type‘ including epidermis. dermis . subcutaneous fat. keratin pearl ‘ muscle, bone. skin. normal and cance r. were measured. As a result. difference in absorption, transmi ssion and reflectance of normal and cancer in oral tissue have the potential to pro vide for cancer screening. In particular. measuring transrnission in 400 nm to 800 nm (inclusive of 450 nmfor NADH. 540 nm 1'0 1' collagen) ‘ t his group noted a difference in auto-fluorescence spectra between normal and cancer specimens . We also noted that normal specimens are cha racterized by a slightly higher reflectance than cancer specimens in the 400 to 800nm And a bsorpt ion of normal is lower than cancer specimens. The diffe rences in transmission. refl ectance and absorpti on between normal and cancer s pecimens were statistically analyzed using student t-test. [n t his study. absor ption. t ransmi ssion and reflectance have been suggested as optimal for best discrirnination between normal and oral cancer specimen. We suggest that a optical integrating sphere is a useful tool for cancer sc reening. The results suggests the potentia l of an effec tive diagnosis system and accurate normal and cancerous tissue's optical coeffi cient

The stem cell research is emerging as a cutting edge topic for a new treatment for many chronic diseases. Recently, dental stem cell would be possible for regeneration of tooth itself as well as periodontal tissue. However, the study of the cell characterization is scarce. Therefore, we performed the genetic profiling and the characterization of mouse fetus/neonate derived dental tissue and cell to find the identification during dental development. We separated dental arch from mandibles of 14.5 d fetal mice and neonate 0 d under the stereoscope, and isolated dental cells primarily from the tissues. Then, we examined morphology and the gene expression profiles of the primary cells and dental tissues from fetus/neonate and adult with RT-PCR. Primary dental cells showed heterogeneous but the majority was shown as fibroblast-like morphology. The change of population doubling time levels (PDLs) showed that the primary dental cells have growth potential and could be expanded under our culture conditions without reduction of growth rate. Immunocytochemical and flow cytometric analyses were performed to characterize the primary dental cell populations from both of fetus (E14.5) and neonate. Alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), vimentin, and von Willebrand factor showed strong expression, but desmin positive cells were not detected in the primary dental cells. Most of the markers were not uniformly expressed, but found in subsets of cells, indicating that the primary dental cell population is heterogeneous, and characteristics of the populations were changed during culture period. And mesenchymal stem cell markers were highly expressed. Gene expression profile showed Wnt family and its related signaling molecules, growth factors, transcription factors and tooth specific molecules were expressed both fetal and neonatal tissue. The tooth specific genes (enamelin, amelogenin, and DSPP) only expressed in neonate and adult stage. These expression patterns appeared same as primary fetal and neonatal cells. In this study we isolated primary cells from whole mandible of fetal and neonatal mice. And we investigated the characteristics of the primary cells and the profile of gene expressions, which are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during tooth development. Taken together, the primary dental cells in early passages or fetal and neonatal mandibles could be useful stem cell resources.

탁수가 어류의 조직과 혈장 단백질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 탁수역인 임하호와 비탁수역인 안동호에 서식하는 치리 (Hemiculter eigenmanni)를 공시재료로 사용하였다. 탁수역에 서식하는 치리의 아가미에서는 이차새변의 만곡, 곤봉화, 부종 및 상피세포 박리 현상 등이 나타났고, 신장에서는 사구체의 크기가 다소 작아지는 수축현상과 조직의 괴사 및 공포현상이 관찰되었다. 또한 간세포의 수가 적어졌으며 크기가 불규칙한 형태로 나타났다. 주사전

본 연구에서는 붕어를 이용하여 탁도 변화에 따른 여러 조직의 항산화효소 활성을 조사하였다. 탁도 50, 100, 150 NTU에서 사육기간에 따른 붕어 조직의 항산화효소 활성의 변화는 50과 100 NTU에서는 대조구에 비해 큰 변화가 없었으며, 고탁도인 150 NTU에서 비교적 두드러진 차이를 나타냈다. 붕어 조직의 항산화능을 DPPH 소거 활성도에서 보면 아가미, 간 조직에서 높은 활성을 보여 고탁도의 사육 조건에서 장기간 사육될 때 비효소적 항산화

복숭아혹진딧물의 섭식행동을 관찰하기 위해, 고추, 무, 배추, 가지, 참외 등 5종류의 기주식물에서 EPG기술을 이용하였다. 복숭아혹진딧물의 구침이 식물체 표면에 접촉된 후 전기적 연결이 일어나기까지 소요되는 시간과 맨 처음 potential drop이 일어나기까지 소요된 시간, 구침의 세포간극내에서의 활동에 의하여 일어나는 potential drop의 수, 전기적 연결신호가 나타난 시점부터 체관부를 섭식하는 순간까지 소요된 시간 등을 조사한 결과 Potential drop 수에서는 기주들 사이에 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 요인에서는 기주식물들 사이에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 참외나 배추보다는 고추, 무, 가지에서 즘 더 기주선호성과 관련된 섭식패턴들을 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to obtain novel genes related to the human craniofacial development, molecular cloning and sequencing, and in situ hybridization using craniofacial tissue sections were performed and followed by protein structure simulation. Totally 231 clones were obtained from the subtracted craniofacial tissue cDNA library of human embryo. Random cloning using the non-redundant clones from the craniofacial tissue of human embryo was done and obtained 398 clones from the premade human chondrocyte cDNA library. Their partial sequence data showed that 214 clones of subtracted cDNA library of craniofacial tissue were still non-redundant in Genebank search. And 20 clones among 498 clones of premade chondrocyte cDNA library were known to be undefined genes. Through in situ hybridization screening in the craniofacial tissue sections of 10 weeks old human embryo 36 clones were found to be positive in specific tissues. Depending on the cell types of sirnilar developmental origin, the positive reactions could be divided into five groups. Among the 20 clones of undefined genes from human chondrocyte cDNA library, 7 clones showed characteristic positive reaction in human cartilage tissue by in situ hybridization. From the simulated protein structure, motif analysis and in situ hybridization studies for the 7 undefined clones, Ch89, Ch96, Ch129, Ch285 clones may function in the outer space of the cell constituting a part of matrix protein complex, and Ch276 as a transmembrane protein which might partic ipate in matrix calcification around chondrocytes. Ch153 is a kind of antirnicrobial protein also acting as an inflammation mediator, and Ch334 clone is a zinc finger protein, of which expression increases in human adult tissues We presume these novel genes from human chondrocytes may provide a new path of chondrocyte development and functions of human craniofacial tissues

Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) were quantitatively determined in surface sediments and two molluscan species, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and rock shell (Thais ctavigera), from Gwangyang Bay,
