토성 조사 특히 토양 중의 점토 함량의 측정은 토양과 관련된 연구에서 흔히 이루어지는 분석이다. 본 연구에 관련된 연구에서 흔히 이루어지는 분석이다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 점토 함량 측정에 널리 이용되고 있는 표준 hydrometer법이나 pipette법과 비교하여 보다 간편하고 신속한 분석법으로 제안되어 있는 micro-pipette법의 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. Micro-pipette법과 hydrometer법으로 측정된 점토 함량은 유의성이 높은 1:1의 상관관계를 가졌으며. micro-pipette법치 분석의 정밀도는 hydrometer법에 비교하여 크게 떨어지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 micro-pipette법은 짧은 침강 시간과 작은 침강 용기를 사용함으로써 작은 실험실 공간에서 많은 시료를 분석할 수 있었다.

A simple and rapid method to estimate the viscosity of chitosan using laboratory pipettes was developed. The voscosities of nine different chitosan samples, prepared ini 1 % acetic acid at a 1% concentration , were measured with a standard viscometer. Prior to measurement of flow time of 1% chitosan solution with a pipette, twelve pipettes were assorted into three groups with flow times of 4, 5 and 6 sec after measuring passage of 9 ml of 1% acetic acid througth a 10 ml pipette. With each group of pipettes. flow time of 1% chitosan solution was determined by measuring the delivery time of 5 ml of the 10ml solution through a 10 ml pipette. Results of regression analyses revealed high linear relationship(R2=0.9812, 0.9663, and 0.9754) between viscosities calculated with a viscometer and flow times measured with 4, 5 or 6 sec group pipettes. The viscosity of chitosan could be readily and accurately estimated from these linear regression equation by measuring flow times based on pipette delivery.

본 연구에서는 방제복의 액체침투저항성을 측정하는 방법 중 피펫법을 적용하여 국내 시판중인 5종의 방제복과 일반 shirt에 대해서 체류성, 발수성 그리고 침투성을 측정하였다. ISO 22608 Guideline 'Liquid penetration resistance-Pipette test'에서 요구하는 장치를 사용하였고 시험농약으로는 pendimethalin을 처리하여 GC/MS로 분석하였다. 5종의 방제복은 침투성이 0.0~5.4%로 매우 낮은 침투성을 보였으며 발수성은 67.0~98.1%로 농약이 쉽게 투과되지 않고 물 또는 액체에 의해서 제거될 수 있을 것으로 보였지만, 일반 shirt는 높은 침투성과 낮은 발수성이 확인되어 농약살포 시 손쉽게 피부에 노출될 수 있을 것으로 확인되었다. 현재 국내에서는 방제복에 대한 침투저항성 측정법과 기준이 마련되어 있지 않기 때문에, 본 연구는 방제복의 성능측정의 기준시험법 마련에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of metabolic inhibition on the inward rectifier K current ($I_{K1}$). Using whole cell patch clamp technique we applied voltage ramp from +80 mV to -140 mV at a holding potential of -30 mV and recorded the whole cell current in single ventricular myocytes isolated from the rabbit heart. The current-voltage relationship showed N-shape (a large inward current and little outward current with a negative slope) which is a characteristic of $I_{K1}$. Application of 0.2 mM dinitrophenol (DNP, an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation as a tool for chemical hypoxia) to the bathing solution with the pipette solution containing 5 mM ATP, produced a gradual increase of outward current followed by a gradual decrease of inward current with little change in the reversal potential (-80 mV). The increase of outward current was reversed by glibenclamide ($10\;{\mu}M$), suggesting that it is caused by the activation of $K_{ATP}$. When DNP and glibenclamide were applied at the same time or glibenclamide was pretreated, DNP produced same degree of reduction in the magnitude of the inward current. These results show that metabolic inhibition induces not only the increase of $K_{ATP}$ channel but also the decrease of $I_{K1}$. Perfusing the cell with ATP-free pipette solution induced the changes very similar to those observed using DNP. Long exposure of DNP (30 min) or ATP-free pipette solution produced a marked decrease of both inward and outward current with a significant change in the reversal potential. Above results suggest that the decrease of $I_{K1}$ may contribute to the depolarisation of membrane potential during metabolic inhibition.

In this study, methods on fabrication of microtool and setting of micromanipulator were examined and relationship between first polar body extrusion rate and maturation time of follicular oocyte, enulceation rae and repetition of trial, and enucleation rate and maturation period were investigated. The results are as follows: 1. Suitable outside diameter of micropipette tube was 1mm. Holding pipette with less than diameter of oocyte was fitred for manipulation, and zona dissection needle was easily operated when its sharp-point had diameter of about 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and length of 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The injection pipette with 20~35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ outside diameter was adequate for injection of blastomere into perivitelline space. 2. Separation of blastomere was effective when zona pellucida had cut with zonadissection needle and the embryo was pipetted gently with the pipette that had narrower diameter than that of embryo until separation of blastomeres had completed. 3. The extrusion rate of first polar body was 78% during 20~24% hours incubation for maturation. 4. According to repetitions of micromanipulation, the enucleation rate was increased to 85% and the time required for enucleation of a oocyte was shortened to 3 min. 5. The extrusion rate of first polar body and enucleation rate were 82 and 76% respectively, in the group of the oocytes cultured for 22 hours. However in the group cultured for 24 hours, the extrusion rate of first polar body and enucleation rate were 53 and 100% respectively.

토성 측정법인 비중계법의 정도시험을 10개 표준토양을 선정하여 침강실린더내 토양현탁액의 온도를 모니터링하면서 피켓법과 비교하여 수행하였다. 토양현탁액은 $13^{\circ}C$에서 $28^{\circ}C$까지 범위로 온도가 분포하였으며 현탁액의 온도변이는 $0.2^{\circ}C$에서 $4.4^{\circ}C$ 범위였다. 비중계법에 의한 점토함량은 피켓법과 -6.4%에서 4.0%까지 차이가 발생하였다. 이 때의 양과 음의 양극단의 높은 차이는 각각 점토함량이 매우 낮은 토양과 유기물함량, 교환성칼슘, pH가 상대적으로 높은 토양이었다. 이 두 토양을 제외한 나머지 토양에서는 차이가 3%이하였으며 점토함량이 25% 이상인 토양에서는 거의 0에 가까웠다. 모래함량에서 -1.5%에서 2.0%까지 차이가 발생하였다. 차이가 가장 큰 토양은 점토함량에서와 유사하게 모래함량이 가장 낮은 토양에서 나타났다.

There are numerous studies on transepithelial transports in duct cells including $Cl^-$ and/or $HCO_3^-$. However, studies on transepithelial $K^+$ transport of normal duct cells in exocrine glands are scarce. In the present study, we examined the characteristics of $K^+$ currents in single duct cells isolated from guinea pig pancreas, using a whole-cell patch clamp technique. Both $Cl^-$ and $K^+$ conductance were found with KCI rich pipette solutions. When the bath solution was changed to low $Cl^-$, reversal potentials shifted to the negative side, $-75{\pm}4\;mV$, suggesting that this current is dominantly selective to $K^+$. We then characterized this outward rectifying $K^+$ current and examined its $Ca^{2+}$ dependency. The $K^+$ currents were activated by intracellular $Ca^{2+}$. 100 nM or 500 nM $Ca^{2+}$ in pipette significantly (P<0.05) increased outward currents (currents were normalized, $76.8{\pm}7.9\;pA$, n=4 or $107.9{\pm}35.5\;pA$, n=6) at +100 mV membrane potential, compared to those with 0 nM $Ca^{2+}$ in pipette $(27.8{\pm}3.7\;pA,\;n=6)$. We next examined whether this $K^+$ current, recorded with 100 nM $Ca^{2+}$ in pipette, was inhibited by various inhibitors, including $Ba^{2+}$, TEA and iberiotoxin. The currents were inhibited by $40.4{\pm}%$ (n=3), $87.0{\pm}%$ (n=5) and $82.5{\pm}%$ (n=9) by 1 mM $Ba^{2+}$, 5 mM TEA and 100 nM iberiotoxin, respectively. Particularly, an almost complete inhibition of the current by 100 nM iberiotoxin further confirmed that this current was activated by intracellular $Ca^{2+}$. The $K^+$ current may play a role in secretory process, slnce recycling of $K^+$ is critical for the initiation and sustaining of $CI^-$ or $HCO_3^-$ secretion in these cells.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the contribution of $Ca^{2+} ?activated\;K^+\;(K_{Ca})$ channels and delayed rectifier $K^+\;(K_V)$ channels to the resting membrane potential (RMP) in rabbit middle cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells. The RMP and membrane currents were recorded using the whole-cell patch configuration and single $K_{Ca}$ channel was recorded using the outside-out patch configuration. Using the pipette solution containing 0.05 mM EGTA, the RMP was $-25.76{\pm}5.08$ mV (n=12) and showed spontaneous transient hyperpolarizations (STHPs). The membrane currents showed time- and voltage-dependent outward currents with spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs). When we recorded the membrane potential using the pipette solution containing 10 mM EGTA, the RMP was depolarized and did not show STHPs. The membrane currents showed no STOCs but only showed slowly inactivating outward currents. External TEA (1 mM) reversibly inhibited the STHPs, depolarized the RMP, reduced the membrane currents, abolished STOCs, and decreased the open probability of single $K_{Ca}$ channel. When $K_V$ currents were isolated, the application of 4-AP (5 mM) depolarized the RMP. The important aspect of our results is that $K_{Ca}$ channel is responsible for the generation of the STHPs in the membrane potential and plays an important role in the regulation of the RMP and $K_V$ channel is also responsible for the regulation of the RMP in rabbit middle cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells.
