교정학 분야에서는 두개안면부의 성장과 발육에 대한 지식이 중요하며, 대개 출생 후의 성장과 발육에 중점을 두어 이 시기에 두개안면부가 어떻게 성장 발육하는가를 연구해왔다. 체질인류학적으로 종족에 따라 두경부의 특성이 다르다는 것은 잘 알려져 있으며, 우리나라를 포함한 각 종족에서 소아 및 청소년기에 두경부의 성장 및 발육이 어떠한 특징을 나타내는가에 대한 기준치가 제시되어 있다 그러나 두개골이 초기 발생부터 두개안면부의 성장에 이르기까지 체계적으로 연구한 보고는 거의 없다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 한국인 배자 20예와 태아 38예를 대상으로 두개골이 처음 형성되어 태생기 중 어떻게 성장 발육하는가를 시기 별로 조직 표본 관찰, Alizarin Red S 염색, 컴퓨터 단층 촬영 등의 방법으로 종합 분석하고, 방사선 사진으로 두개 계측을 시도하여 소아 및 청소년기의 두개안면부의 성장과 발육을 이해하는 이론적 배경을 제공하고 나아가 실제 임상 분야에 도움이 되는 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 시도하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.
1. 두개 기저부의 원기를 나타내는 중간엽의 축합은 발생 14기에 이낭에서, 두개관에서는 모든 부위에서 발생 17기에 관찰되었다
2. 중간엽의 연골화는 발생 20기에 이낭에서 처음 시작되었다.
3. 막내골화는 하악골에서 발생 20기에, 상악골에서 발생 22기에, 전두골 안와연에서 발생 23기에 시작되었다.
4. 연골내골화는 Alizarin Red S로 염색한 발생 9주 태아 측두골 및 후두골의 일부 연골에서 시작되었다.
5. 전산 단층 촬영에서 발생 20주에 봉합들이 분명하게 관찰되었고 두개골 바닥이 점차 완성됨을 알 수 있었다.
6. 측모두부방사선을 이용한 두개계측에서 거리는 발생과 함께 증가하는 양상을 보였으며 특히 전안면고경 (Na-Sym) 및 하악골의 하전방 성장 (S-Sym)이 빠르게 증가하였다.
이상의 결과를 요약하면 발생 중 두개 기저부가 먼저 형성되기 시작하였으나 골화는 두개관에서 더 빠르게 진행되었다. 또한 카네기 발생기로 분류한 한국인 배자에서 두개골의 발생이 진행되는 시기가 대체로 외국의 다른 보고에 비해 다소 늦는 경향을 보였는데, 이것이 개체 혹은 종족에 따른 차이인지 좀 더 상세하게 구명되어야 할 것으로 생각되었다

Understanding the growth and development of craniofacial complex is important in the field of orthodontics, but usually most of studies were concentrated in post-natal growth and development. It is well known that different races have their
own anthropological characteristics in head and neck region and each race, including Korean, has their own standards in head and neck growth and development during childhood and adolescents.
But there is almost no report on the study throughout the initial development, skull growth and the growth of craniofacial complex. At this point, early development of the skull was investigated during embryonic and fetal period. Twenty embryos and thirty eight fetuses were analyzed by using routine histologic method, Alizarin Red S stain, computerized three-dimensional tomogram, and cephalometrics.
The results are as follows;
1. The mesenchymal condensation which represents primordia of the skull base was observed around the otic vesicle in stage 14 and that of calvaria were in stage 17.
2. Transformation mesenchymal condensations to cartilage was observed around otic vesicle in stage 20.
3. Intramembraneous ossification of mandible was observed in stage 20 and maxilla in stage 22.
4. Endochondral ossification was observed in the part of temporal and occipital bone in Alizarin Red S stained 9 week fetus.
5. With computerized tomogram, sutures between skull bones were evident and beginning of ossification in the skull base was observed in 20 week fetus.
6. Linear measurement using lateral cephalogram showed high correlation with fetal aging (r>0.90). Anterior facial height (Na-Sym) and forward and downward growth of mandible (S-Sym) shows faster growth.
From the above results, primordia of skull base was observed earlier than that of calvaria, but beginning and progress of ossification was reversed.
Also, initial development of skull in staged Korean embryos had a tendency to develop later compare to other races. Further investigation is needed to confirm this difference is due to individual variation or racial one.restrictio

Studies on the regulation mechanisms of diverse phospholipase C isotypes
DoctorPhospholipase C (PLC) is a key enzyme in signal transduction by catalyzing the formation of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphates (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) from phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphates (PIP2), which are implicated in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and protein kinase C (PKC) activation, respectively. To date, 13 members of the mammalian PLC family have been identified and they are classified into 6 isotypes based on their primary structures : β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, and η. Although all PLC isotypes show similar enzymatic activity, they display distinct knock-out phenotypes. Given that PLC isotypes possess unique domain structures and show different tissue expression patterns, it seems likely that they are influenced by different signaling pathway to regulate different physiologic functions. Therefore, elucidating the regulation mechanisms of each PLC isotype is prerequisite to understand its physiological functions.PLC-β is a key effector in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated signaling. Many studies have shown that the four PLC-β subtypes (β1~β4) have different physiological functions despite their similar structures. Because the PLC-β subtypes possess different PDZ-binding motifs, they have the potential to interact with different PDZ proteins. In this study, I identified PDZ domain-containing 1 (PDZK1) as a PDZ protein that specifically interacts with PLC-β3. To elucidate the functional roles of PDZK1, I next screened for potential interacting proteins of PDZK1 and identified the somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) as another protein that interacts with PDZK1. Through these interactions, PDZK1 assembles as a ternary complex with PLC-β3 and SSTRs. Interestingly, the expression of PDZK1 and PLC-β3, but not PLC-β1, markedly potentiated SST-induced PLC activation. However, disruption of the ternary complex inhibited SST-induced PLC activation, which suggests that PDZK1-mediated complex formation is required for the specific activation of PLC-β3 by SST. Consistent with this observation, the knockdown of PDZK1 or PLC-β3, but not that of PLC-β1, significantly inhibited SST-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, which further attenuated subsequent ERK1/2 phosphorylation. From these results, I strongly suggest that the formation of a complex between SSTRs, PDZK1, and PLC-β3 is essential for the specific activation of PLC-β3 and the subsequent physiologic responses by SST.PLC-η1 is the most recently identified PLC isotype and is primarily expressed in nerve tissue. However, its functional role is still unclear. In this study, I found for the first time that PLC-η1 acts as a signal amplifier in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated PLC/Ca2+ signaling. Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of endogenous PLC-η1 reduced lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)- , bradykinin (BK)- , and PACAP-induced PLC activity in mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2A (N2A) cells, indicating that PLC-η1 participates in GPCR-mediated PLC activation. Interestingly, ionomycin-induced PLC activity was significantly decreased by PLC-η1, but not PLC-η2, knockdown. In addition, I found that intracellular Ca2+ source is enough for PLC-η1 activation. Furthermore, the IP3 receptor inhibitor, 2-APB, inhibited LPA-induced PLC activation in control N2A cells, whereas this effect was not observed in PLC-η1 knockdown N2A cells, suggesting a pivotal role of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in PLC-η1 activation. Finally, LPA-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and expression of the downstream target gene, krox-24, were significantly decreased by PLC-η1 knockdown and these knockdown effects were abolished by 2-APB. From these results, I strongly suggest that PLC-η1 is secondarily activated by intracellular Ca2+ mobilization from the ER and therefore amplifies GPCR-mediated PLC/Ca2+ signaling.Mast cell is responsible for IgE-mediated allergic responses through secretion of various inflammatory cytokines and mediators. Thus, pharmacological regulation of mast cell activation is significant for the development of novel anti-allergic drugs. In this study, I found that spiraeoside (SP) inhibits mast cell activation and allergic response in vivo. SP dose-dependently inhibited the degranulation induced by IgE-antigen (Ag) stimulation in RBL-2H3 mast cells without cytotoxic effect. At the molecular level, SP reduced Ag-induced phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C-γ2 (PLC-γ2). Moreover, SP inhibited phosphosrylation of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), linker for activation of T cells (LAT), and downstream MAPK such as ERK1/2, p38, and JNK, which eventually attenuated expression of TNF-α and IL-4. Finally, I found that SP significantly inhibited IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in mice. From these results, I strongly suggest that SP suppresses IgE-mediated mast cell activation and allergic response by primarily inhibiting Lyn-induced PLC-γ2 / MAPK signaling in mast cell

제올라이트에 담지된 팔라듐 촉매의 특성 연구
학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 화학공학과, 1992.2, [ xv, 138 p. ]Palladium catalysts supported on X and Y zeolites of various cationic forms were prepared by using a scheme consisting of exchange into the zeolite, activation in , and subsequent reduction with . These catalysts were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, xenon adsorption method, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and hydrogenation of cyclopropane (CP) as a probe reaction. Xenon was found to be adsorbed on the multivalent cations, such as and much more strongly than the zeolite wall or monovalent cations, which was also observed for the Pd cluster. The amount of xenon adsorbed on the Pd cluster was determined from the xenon adsorption isotherm and then used as a sensitive probe for the study of the cluster size variation. The chemical shift in NMR of the adsorbed zenon gas and TEM were also used to investigate the Pd cluster size dependence on the cation in the zeolite. The results indicate that small Pd cluster of about 1-nm size, Which is stable up to 673K, can be prepared by anchoring on multivalent cations such as and located in the supercage. Otherwise, the cluster grows to the size of above 2 nm upon heating to 673 K. EXAFS experiment was carried at atmosphere and room temperature, and the data were analyzed with the University of Washington package. The EXAFS results for all the supported Pd cluster samples showed that very small clusters were formed with a Pd-Pd bond distance of 0.28 nm and an average coordination number of 5.5. Such a small coordination number, in contrast to ca. 2-nm size from TEM indicated that the Pd cluster occupied a few adjacent supercages. The hydrogenation of CP was carried out over two Pd Catalysts of different cluster sizes, i.e., Pd/NaY and Pb/CaY catalysts, as a test reaction. The reaction rate was measured in a Pyrex recirculation reactor system in the temperature range of 196-25...한국과학기술원 : 화학공학과
영상 디스플레이를 위한최적 에러 휘드백 퀀타이저의 설계
학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 전산학과, 1986.2, [ [vi], 71 p. ]The minimized average error bilevel display algorithm of Floyd et al.[1] is extended to a general n-level error feedback filter for the display of monochrome and natural color pictures. This error feedback filter that operates recursively on the net system input-output errors using the so-called two-dimensional nonsymmetric half-plane window[16] is analyzed to obtain the optimal properties. In this approach, instead of the commonly used distortion measure defined by pixelto pixel mean square error, a low-pass filter impulse response is used in spatial domain to define a more reasonable distortion measure to the concept of error diffusion. Based on the optimal properties of the proposed model, some examples of designing the optimal recursive coefficients utilizing the 2-D IIR filter design technique of Ekstrom et al.[16,17] are shown. And the experimental results are also illustrated for both monochrome and natural color pictures.한국과학기술원 : 전산학과
