Dust collecting performance of axial-vane type cyclone for oil mist was analyzed in this study. For predicting cut diameter size of cyclone, the number and angle of vane (${\beta}_2{^{\prime}}$) was calculated by CFD. As the result, ${\beta}_2{^{\prime}}$ was decreased as the number of vane was increased and the angle of inclination (${\beta}_2{^{\prime}}$) decreased, and it cause strong swirl flow. Therefore, it could be confirmed that as the number of vane was increased and the angle of inclination was decreased, cut diameter size was decreased. Also, by verifying the results of CFD through experiment, the cut diameter size could be 2 ${\mu}m$ at 4 $m^3/min$ of flow rate.

Bismuth tribromide ($BiBr_3$) catalyzed Mannich-type reactions of N-acyliminium ions which generated in situ from N-benzyloxycarbonylamino p-tolylsulfones have been developed. In the presence of catalytic amount of $BiBr_3$, N-benzyloxycarbonylamino p-tolylsulfones prepared from aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes reacted with silyl enol ether and silyl enol ester under mild reaction conditions to afford N-Cbz-protected ${\beta}$-amino ketones and N-Cbz-protected ${\beta}$-amino esters in moderate to good yield, respectively.

The ytterbium catalyst immobilized on the cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine/styrene) copolymer (P/S-Yb) was applied in the Mannich-type, three component one-pot synthesis of $\beta$-aminoketones. This catalytic system showed excellent catalytic activity and selectivity which resulted in the exclusive formation of $\beta$-aminoketone. The applicability of this immobilized catalyst system was shown by the reusability test and again highlighted by the synthesis of a $\beta$-aminoketone library using a broad range of substrates.

Brain microglia are phagocytic cells that are the major inflammatory response cells of the central nervous system and widely held to play important pathophysiologic roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) in both potentially neurotoxic responses and potentially beneficial phagocytic responses. In the study, we examined whether ginsonoside Rg3, a by-product of red ginseng, enhances the microglial phagocytosis of $A{\beta}$. We found that Rg3 promoted $A{\beta}$ uptake, internalization, and digestion. Increased maximal $A{\beta}$ uptake was observed at 4 and 8 h after Rg3 pretreatment (25 ${\mu}g/mL$), and the internalized $A{\beta}$ was almost completely digested from cells within 36 h when pretreated with Rg3 comparing with single non-Rg3-treated groups. The expression of MSRA (type A MSR) was also up-regulated by Rg3 treatment in a dose- and time-dependent manner which was coincidently identified in western blots for MSRA proteins in cytosol. These results indicate that microglial phagocytosis of $A{\beta}$ may be enhanced by Rg3 and the effect of Rg3 on promoting clearance of $A{\beta}$ may be related to the MSRA-associated action of Rg3. Thus, stimulation of the MSRA might contribute to the therapeutic potentials of Rg3 in microglial phagocytosis and digestion in the treatment of AD.

鋼製毛細管粘度計를 제작하여 윤활유의 流動性質을 연구하였다. 使用한 윤활유는 bentone 윤활유(thickener의 무게 농도 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 및 $10.0{\%}$)와 Lime-soap윤활유(thickener의 무게농도 2.4, 7.0, 9.3, 12.1 및 15.2%)이었다. Lime-soap윤활유의 流動性質에 對하여 resident-time(毛細管內에 윤활유가 殘留하는 時間) 效果를 硏究하기 위하여 半徑(R)과 길이(L)를 달리하는 各種毛細管을 使用하였다. 그러나 bentone 윤활유의 流動性質의 仔細한 硏究를 위하여서는 單一種의 毛細管을 使用하였다. 實驗結果(流出量對 shear 速度)에 對하여 Ree-Eyring 式에 나타나는 $X_1{\beta}_1/{\alpha}_1$(Newton 單位에 對한 量), $X_2/{\alpha}_2$ 및 ${\beta}_2$(非 Newton 單位에 對한 量) 等의 係數가 thickener 농도와 溫度에 對하여 어떻게 變化하는가를 보았다. 이 硏究의 分析結果에 依하면 ${\Delta}H_1^{\neq}$와 ${\Delta}H_2^{\neq}$(각각 流動單位 type1과 type2의 流動活性化엔탈피)가 溶媒(base oil)의 流動活性化엔탈피(${\Delta}H_b^{\neq}$)에 近似的으로 一致한다. 이 事實로부터 thickener의 流動單位 (type 1, type 2 공히)는 溶媒分子의 移動으로 因하여 장만된 小孔에 뛰어드러감으로써 全體系의 流動이 이루어짐을 알 수 있다. Bentone 윤활유에 대하여 ${\beta}_2$는 어느 주어진 溫度에 있어서 thickener 농도에 無關함을 알아냈으니 이것은 旣往文獻에 發表된 事實과 一致한다. 殘留時間效果를 lime-soap 윤활유에 對하여 보려고 詩圖하였으나 그 結果는 分明하지 않았다. 그 理由는 lime-soap 윤활유 自身의 性質에도 依存하지만 著者들의 使用한 毛細管의 L/R 値(殘留時間에 比例하는 常數)가 너무 적었음에 原因이 있다고 생각된다.

Mutation in HNF1B, the hepatocyte nuclear factor-$1{\beta}$ (HNF-$1{\beta}$) gene, results in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 5, which is characterized by gradual impairment of insulin secretion. However, the functional role of HNF-$1{\beta}$ in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism is not fully understood. We identified a family with early-onset diabetes that fulfilled the criteria of MODY. Sanger sequencing revealed that a heterozygous P159L (CCT to CTT in codon 159 in the DNA-binding domain) mutation in HNF1B was segregated according to the affected status. To investigate the functional consequences of this HNF1B mutation, we generated a P159L HNF1B construct. The wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs were transfected into COS-7 cells in the presence of the promoter sequence of human glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2). The luciferase reporter assay revealed that P159L HNF1B had decreased transcriptional activity compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed reduced DNA binding activity of P159L HNF1B. In the MIN6 pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell line, overexpression of the P159L mutant was significantly associated with decreased mRNA levels of GLUT2 compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). However, INS expression was not different between the wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs. These findings suggests that the impaired insulin secretion in this family with the P159L HNF1B mutation may be related to altered GLUT2 expression in ${\beta}$-cells rather than decreased insulin gene expression. In conclusion, we have identified a Korean family with an HNF1B mutation and characterized its effect on the pathogenesis of diabetes.

서론 : Laminin의 수용기로 알려진 Integrin $\alpha6\beta4$의 세포내 표현 정도는 편평상피암을 위시한 여러 악성종양의 전이능력 및 예후와 밀접한 상관관계가 없다고 알려져 있다. 이 Integrin은 Laminin과 같은 세포와 리간드와 결합하면 상피세포의 기저막 지주 구조물인 hemidesmosome의 세포체질 요소(cytoskeletal element)와 연관되어 그 결과 세포의 기저막과 세포내 케라틴을 연결하는 역할을 한다. Integrin $\alpha6\beta4$는 구조적으로 다른 많은 integrin들과 달리 $\beta$4의 세포질내 영역(cytoplasmic domain)이 특징적으로 크다. 이 세포질내 영역 $\beta$4 integrin의 기능은 아직 밝혀지지 않고 있으나 아마 세포 성장의 신호전달 및 악성종양의 특징인 침윤 전이에 관련할 것으로 보아지고 있다. 재료 및 방법: 저자들은 우선 $\beta$4 integrin의 wild type s-DNA와 $\beta$4 세포질내 영역(cytoplasmic domain) 및 $\beta$4의 tyrosine 인산화 반응 부위가 각각 결손된 c-DNA를 PCR을 통하여 합성하여 pRc/CMV 벡터에 삽입한 후 원래 $\beta$4 integrin의 발현이 결집된 인간 방광암 세포에 Calcium phosphate precipitation 방법으로 주입(transfection)시켜 형질변환된 세포를 면역형광법, Flow cytometry 및 Immunoprecipitation 방법으로 클로닝하여 wild type $\beta$4-full length(Clone FL), truncated $\beta$4-cytoplasmic domain(C1one CD), 및 mutated $\beta$4-tyrosine phosphorylation site (Clone M)을 얻었다. 암 세포의 부착 및 침투 능력의 기능적 연구로 모노 클로날 항체와 fibronectin, laminin, Matrigel을 단백질 기질로 사용하였으며 결과 비교를 위하여 pRc/CMV 벡터만 주입시켰던 클로운과 방광암 세포주를 $\beta$4 integrin 음성 대조군으로 또한 이 Integrin의 높은 발현을 보이는 두경부 편평상피암 세포주를 양성 대조군으로 이용하였다. 결과 : 세포부착능력에 있어서 온전한 $\beta$4 cytoplasmic domain이 존재하는 클로운이 laminin에 강한 부착능력을 보였으나 fibronectin의 부착정도는 $\beta$4 integrin의 표현정도와 관계없이 모든 클로운에서 비슷하였다. Matrigel을 투과하는 암세포 침윤 능력에서는 $\beta$4 integrin의 표현이 존재하는 클로운들이 투과 능력이 높았으나 세포외 리간드가 없는 control membrane을 사용하였을 때와 비교하여 투과능력의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 유전자 주입(transfection) 방법으로 integrin의 다양한 클로운의 합성이 가능하여 이 Integrin의 암 세포의 부착 및 침투 능력에서의 기능을 규명 할 수 있게 한다. $\beta$4 integrin은 편평상피 암세포의 부착에 있어서 세포외 리간드 laminin과 특이 결합하여 부착 능력을 높이는 중요한 역할을 하며 편평상피 암세포의 침투에 있어서는 $\beta$4 integrin의 표현이 침투 능력을 높이는 역할을 하나 이때에는 laminin과 같은 리간드와의 특이 결합에 의존하지는 않는 것으로 사료된다.

Buckling and vibration characteristics of circular laminated plates under in-plane edge loads and resting on Winkler-type foundation are solved by the Ritz method. Inclusive numerical data are presented for the first three eigen-frequencies as a function of in-plane load for different classical edge conditions. Moreover, the effects of fiber orientation on the natural frequencies and critical buckling loads of laminated angle-ply plates with stacking sequence of $[({\beta}/-{\beta}/{\beta}/-{\beta})]_s$, are studied. Also, selected deformation mode shapes are illustrated. The correctness of results is established using finite element software as well as by comparison with the existing results in the literature.

Objective: To investigate liver fibrosis, TGF-${\beta}1$ levels and curative effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with small and conventional dose perfusion chemotherapy by transcatheter arterial chemo embolization (TACE). Methods: Thirty-six hepatocellular carcinoma patients not indicated for surgical resection underwent super-selective transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, divided into small dose (n=15) and conventional dose (n=21) chemotherapy groups. Results: With conventional doses, four indices of liver fibrosis focusing on hyaluronate acide (HA), human procollagen type-III (hPC-III), collagen type-Ⅳ (Ⅳ-C) and transforming growth factor-${\beta}l$ (TGF-${\beta}1$) were obviously increased postoperative compared with preoperative (P<0.01); in contrast, with small doses there were no significant differences except for TGF-${\beta}1$. Five year survival demonstrated no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: To hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated by TACE, reducing doses of chemotherapy drugs can reduce progress of liver fibrosis, without impacting on five year survival.
