본 연구의 목적은 신석기 시대 존재했던 여성 신이 지녔던 생명력, 평등성, 포용성, 그리고 이타성의 가치와 인류 문화원형의 상징성을 파악하고 복원 필요성을 제시하고자 하는 것이다. 현대사회는 자연 생태계 파괴, 전쟁, 그리고 환경 오염이 진행되고 있는 시점이다. 따라서 생명의 존엄성으로 대표되는 여신의 상징적 가치 회복은 중요한 문제이다. 생명의 가치를 대변하는 여신문화는 현대사회의 미래지향적 가치와 연결성을 지니기 때문이다. 제주도는 여신문화의 회복이 요구되는 시점에서 다양한 여신 관련 신화들이 존재한다는 점에서 특별한 의미가 있다. 제주도 여신 신화 및 문화는 신성성, 생명성, 그리고 주체적 여성의 모습을 제시하고 있다. 제주도의 여신문화는 인간과 자연의 조화뿐만 아니라 인류가 상실했던 여신 원형 문화라는 점에서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖고 보존 필요성이 요구되는 유산이라고 할 수 있다.

In the last several decades, cell therapy research has increased worldwide. Many studies have been conducted on cell therapy, and have revealed that transplanted cells did not survive for long, and implanted cells remained inactive causing immune rejection depending on the patient’s condition. Therefore, studies on cell-free therapy need to be conducted. To overcome these limitations, an alternative is the use of supernatant from cells, called “conditioned media (CM).” During in vitro cell culture, culture media supply nutrients to maintain cell characteristics and viability. In the culture, cells not only consume nutrients but also release beneficial proteins and substances, which are called “secretome.” CM from cells can be stored for a long time and is easy to handle. Moreover, secretome in CM can also be measured; exact amount of secretome is important to set the standard value for disease treatment. Here, we reviewed studies on CM and confirmed that various secretomes from CM were identified in these studies. Moreover, these findings could benefit cell and animal studies in future. In conclusion, CM could be a potential candidate for an alternative to cell therapy.

Cellular microenvironment is an essential issue for regulating epithelial characteristics through the alteration of intricate signaling pathways and intercellular communications in different cell types. Thus, microenvironment influences tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between microenvironment and epithelial property in HPV16 E6/E7-immortalized human oral keratinocytes (IHOKs). To investigate characteristics of IHOK cultured in different media, two media were used, which included keratinocyte growth media (KGM), F-medium composed of 3:1 ratio of DMEM and F-12 (P media) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Proliferative property and invasive and migratory activity were observed. As results, proliferating activities of IHOK in different culture condition were changed. Likewise, migratory and invasive activities were also different depending on media types. These results suggest that cellular microenvironment can affect modification of biological properties of epithelial cells.

Numerous bone cell culture models have been presented by the development of isolation and culturing techniques of cells. The culture of osteoblast-like cells of human origin with a specific osteoblastic phenotype has become an important experimental model in bone biology. Recently, it has become increasingly popular to utilize bone marrow cultures because these cultures are therefore thought to represent earlier stages of the osteoblast differentiation pathway. There is no report about culturing normal human osteoblast from oral and maxillofacial area. Primary cultured cells from oral and maxillofacial cancellous bone were analyzed by morphologic features, total DNA contents, ALP, osteocalcin and von Kossa staining positivity. The purpose of this study were to culture the cell population from oral and maxillofacial cancellous bone and to analyze the phenotypic expression of cultured normal human osteoblast by the bone marrow isolation technique. Growth curve of NHost showed about 45hrs of doubling time and about 70μ g/well of total DNA content. NHost showed spindle shaped cytoplasm with ovoid nucleus under preconfluency and after cellular differentiation, they formed irregular numerous nodules from stratified cellular layers under D medium. ALP activity was about 2 folds higher under control medium with 10nM 1,25(OH)2D3 than that under control medium. Osteocalcin expression was about seven folds higher under control medium with 100nM 1,25(OH)2D3 than that under control medium. Scattered mineralized nodules stained by von Kossa method were seen on the cellular layer under D medium. It suggested that NHost might be established from oral and maxillofacial area by characteristic cellular shape, ALP activity, osteocalcin expression and numerous mineralized nodules.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of human follicular fluid and gonadotropin (FSH+HCG+rhEGF) on in vitro maturation, fertilization and development of human immature oocytes. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected following for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles of the patients. At the time of oocytes collection, oocytes were classified into MII, MI and GV in accordance with their appearance (MII: Fully mature oocyte at metaphase II of meiosis; MI: Nearly mature oocytes at metaphase I of meiosis; GV: Immature oocytes at prophase I of meiosis). After controlled ovarian stimulation using gonadotropin(FSH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in 70 ICSI cycles, 158 MI to MII matured oocytes were intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) h after in vitro culture and 553 MII oocytes were ICSI after denudation. The aspirated MI and GV oocytes were cultured in culture medium containing 10% (v/v) serum protein substitute (SPS), 10% (v/v) human follicular fluid (hFF) and 10% (v/v) serum protein substitute (SPS)+1 IU/ml FSH+10 IU/ml HCG+10 ng/ml recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF). The maturation rate of immature oocytes was similar among the three group. When maturation medium was supplemented with 10% SPS, 10% hFF or gonadotropins, the fertilization rate of in vitro matured oocytes was higher in 10% SPS (80.0%), but there was no statistical significance (78.2%; hFF, 76.9%; gonadotropin, p>0.05). The development rate of human embryos developed to cells were not significant difference in the medium containing SPS, hFF and gonadotropins (65.6%, 65.9% and 66.7%). The results of these study suggest that human follicular fluid and gonadotropins supplemented in the culture medium was not effected on the in vitro maturation, fertilization and development of human immature oocytes.

본 연구에서는 hG-CSF의 발현을 유도적으로 조절하기 위한 FIV-Tet-On lentivirus vector system을 구축하고자 하였다. hG-CSF는 호중성구 계열 세포의 증식과 분화, 생존에 영향을 미치는 물질로서, 이 유전자의 발현을 증가시키기 위하여 FIV-Tet-On vector 상의 hG-CSF나 rtTA2SM2 서열의 3' 위치에 WPRE 서열을 도입하였다. 구축된 각각의 vector는 293FT 세포에 일시적으로 transfection하여 virus를 생산하였으며, 이 virus를 일차 배양 세포인 CEF와 PFF에 감염시켰다. 각 세포에 전이된 hG-CSF의 발현 양상을 관찰하기 위하여 doxycycline을 첨가하거나 첨가하지 않은 배지에서 배양한 후 quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot과 ELISA를 이용하여 hG-CSF 유전자의 발현 정도를 비교 측정한 결과, CEF에서는 WPRE가 hG-CSF의 3' 위치에 도입된 경우에 발현량과 유도율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났고, PFF에서는 rtTA 서열의 3'위치에 도입된 경우에 발현량과 유도율이 가장 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이 FIV-Tet-On vector system은 형질 전환 동물의 생산이나 유전자 치료에서 문제시되는 외래 유전자의 지속적인 과다 발현에 의한 개체의 생리적인 부작용을 최소화하기 위한 해결 방법으로 제시될 수 있을 것이다.

The present study was conducted to investigate gelatinolytic activities in HAM and to determine whether there are any changes in gelatinolytic activity profiles when the cells are cultured in hepatogenic medium. Placenta was obtained during caesarean section of the volunteers, with informed consent. HAM were isolated from amniotic membrane using collagenase type A HAM were cultured in hepatogenic medium for 3 weeks and the conditioned media were obtained at day 7, 14 and 21. The zymographic pattern of gelatinolytic activity of the HAM did not undergo a change during passages. When the HAM were cultured in a fibronectin-coated dishes in a hepatogenic medium, there was no significant difference of the gelatinase pattern between before and after culture. However, when bFGF was added to the culture, a dramatic increase of 62kDa and 59kDa gelatinases was observed. Interestingly, when ITS instead of FN was present, HAM-conditioned medium also showed a similar increase of both gelatinases. Immunoblotting analysis demonstrated that both 62kDa and 59kDa gelatinases were the active form of MMP-2 resulting from the turnover of MMP-2 proform. Futher study will be necessary to determine the relationship between bFGF and active MMP-2 during hepatogenesis of HAM.

It is well kwon that HPV have been strongly linked to progression of or al squamous cell carcinoma‘ Effici ent im mortalization of nonnal human oral keratinocyte(NHOK) should provid further evidence for the role HPV in tumorogenes is ‘ Because IHOK(I mmortali zed human oral keratinocyte) has been considered as a moclel syst em for study ing I-!PV- linkecl oral ca rcinogenes is , it is important to pursue the differenti ati al change of IHOK cul t ure moclel during t he culture passage, The purposes of this study were to examine the cha ra r’ ct eristic clifferential changes of cul turecl immorta lizecl human ora l keratinocytes during long term passage, and to apply these results to or al carcinogenes is in the future, NI-!OK was primarily incubated at 370C and 5% C02 under KBM bullet kJt IHOK was co ntinuously cul t ured towarcl 100th passage(two times per week) , Growth curve of NI-!OK and II-!OK clepend on clùture passage was taken For examining the cha racte ri s t ic clifferential changes of II-!OK, transrnission electron microscope, 1ì'ansgluta miase activity‘ E6/E7 mRNA detect ion, a ncl tumorogenecity were done 10th II-!OK showecl sl ight polygonal flattencl cells and sometimes apoptotic cells ‘ while 100th IHOK showecl increased polygonal cell s ‘ Cultu recl 100th IHOK showed r ela tively resis tant growth to high calcium than 10th II-!OK Microvilli from 10th II-!OK was not connect ecl with each other, ancl scatte red cytokeratin fil aments of 10th II-IOK. while decreased cytokeratin filaments in cytoplasm & prominent clesmosome of 100th IHOK.

South Mrica has been forged in conflicts. A series of tragedies and conflicts have occurred almost for hundreds of years. The most recent and well known is apartheid itself. Through all these conflicts, there has been a gradual cultural meldown-a mutation of traditional culture and philosophy that has left a variety of cultural expresions in African. The heritage of the philosophy that comes through traditional African roots is ubuntu, which means a person is only a person because of other people. It does not exist unless there is interaction between people in community. It manifests through the actions of people， through truly good things that people do for each other and for the community. It is believed the community is as important as the individual and person's most effective behaviour is in the community. so 야en nowaday, all efforts to make a contribution toward this common good have to be encouraged, as are all acts of kindness, compassion and care, self-respeα and integrity.

Epithelial-mesenchymal interaction is well known to have an importance during the organ development as well as cell growth and differentiation. However, in vitro experimental model is not well developed to reproduce in vivo cellular micro-environment which provide a epithelial-mesenchymal interaction. The aims of this study were to develop and evaluate the in vitro experimental model that maintains epithelial-mesenchymal interaction by organotypic raft culture, and to characterize biologic properties of three-dimensionally reconstituted human normal oral kertinocyte(NHOK) and immortalized human oral keratinocytes(IHOK) by histological and immunohistochemical analysis. The results were as follows; 1. Best condition of three dimensionally reconstituted IHOK & HaCaT cells are 14 days air-exposure cultivation, 3 days of submerged state, and dermal equivalent consisting type I collagen and IGF cells. 2. In comparison to IHOK, there was better preservation of the overall epidermal strucutures in oral cracioma cells (HN30) & HaCaT cells by organotypic cultures. But orgnaotypic co-culture of the normal keratinocyte showed the thinnest epithelial layer formation. 3. PCNA was detected primarily in the basal layer of normal mucosa and NHOK, whereas was shown throught the epithellium except surface layer of IHOK cells, and it's expression was similar to that of CIS of biopsied patient's tissue 4. Involucrin is expressed in the upper layer of oral mucosa and NHOK raft, but staining for involucrin was induced in the IHOK rafts indicating differentiation is incomplete, and the staining pattern in the IHOK raft was not uniform. 5. Normal oral keratinocyte raft showed weak immunostaining for p53, and p53 expression of IHOK raft increased rahter than in NHOK. In organotypic cultures of normal cells and IHOK, p53 expression was restricted to the proliferative part of epithelium. This is consistent with expression pattern in biopsy specimens of the normal and CIS tissue. 6. In artifically reconstructed NHOK, the pattern of keratin staining showed both similarity and differences from that of intact normal mucosa. An obvious difference was increased expression of CK10 & CK19, and decreased expression of CK6 in a reconstructed NHOK rather than in normal mucosa, and similar expression was in CK4 and CK16. 7. CK19 & CK16 were strongly positive in HPV immortlaized keratinocyte rafts rahter than in NHOK, an indicator of premalignant or malignant changes, while CK10 & CK6 were decreased, and organotypic cultures of IHOK express was similar keratin expression as epithelial dysplasia or CIS tissue. These results suggest that three-dimensional organotypic co-culture of normal oral & immortalized keratinocytes with dermal equivalent consisting type I collagen and fibroblasts results in similar morphologic and immunohistochemical characteristics to in vivo patient specimens. Thus this organotypic system can be used for studing mechanism of epitehlial-mesenchymal interaction in particular regulating epidermal diffenentiation and morphogenes
