Let $R={\bigoplus}_{{\alpha}{\in}{\Gamma}}\;R_{\alpha}$ be a graded integral domain, H be the set of nonzero homogeneous elements of R, and ${\star}$ be a semistar operation on R. The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of $quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ and UMt-domains of graded integral domains. For this reason we study the graded analogue of ${\star}-quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domains called $gr-{\star}-quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domains. We study several ring-theoretic properties of $gr-{\star}-quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domains. As an application we give new characterizations of UMt-domains. In particular it is shown that R is a $gr-t-quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain if and only if R is a UMt-domain if and only if RP is a $quasi-Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain for each homogeneous maximal t-ideal P of R. We also show that R is a UMt-domain if and only if H is a t-splitting set in R[X] if and only if each prime t-ideal Q in R[X] such that $Q{\cap}H ={\emptyset}$ is a maximal t-ideal.

The flavonoids are one of the most numberous and widespread groups of natural consituents. The low molecular weight of benzo-${\gamma}$-pyrone derivative are ubiquitous in plants and are vegetables nuts, seeds, leaves, flowers, and bark. The flavonoids constitute of a large class of compounds ubiquitous in plants containing a number of phenolic hydroxyl groups attached to ring structures conferring the antioxidant activity. Epidemiologic studies suggest that the dietary intake of antioxidants constitutes a risk factor for vasclar disease indicating that oxidation may be important in the pathogenesis of human athero-sclerosis. Elevated plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, LDL is oxidized by smooth muscle cells resulting in several chemicals and physical changes of LDL. Oxidized LDL is responsible for cholesterol loading of macrophages foam cells formation and atherogenesis. There have been insulficient tests of the protective effects of flavonoids against LDL oxidation to make definitive statements about their structure activity relationships. How-ever hydroxylation of the flavone uncleas can appears to be advantageous because polyhydroxylated aglycone flavonoids are potent inhibitor of LDL modification. This identification may lead to new and more effective antioxidant strategies for abrogating the atherosclerotic process the leading cause of death and disability in industrialized societies.

The $CH_2Cl_2$ soluble part of the leaves of Helianthus tuberosus L. (Compositae) exhibited a potent cytotoxic activity against the cultured human tumor cell lines including A-549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498 and HCT-15 in vitro. Bioassaydirected fractionation of the $CH_2Cl_2$ soluble part of this plant led to the isolation of four cytotoxic sesquiterpene lactones having ${\alpha}$-methylene-${\gamma}$-lactone ring in the molecule. On the basis of physical and spectral evidences, their structures were characterized as ${\Delta}^{4,15}$-isoatripliciolide tiglate (1), ${\Delta}^{4,15}$-isoatripliciolide methacrylate (2), budlein A isobutylate (3) and budlein A tiglate (4). The ${\Delta}^{4,15}$-isoatripliciolide tiglate (1) showed the most potent cytotoxic activity ($0.26{\mu}M<ED_{50}<2.16{\mu}M$) against all of the cell lines tested.

Purpose: Positron emisson tomography (PET) is a crucial medical imaging scanner for the detection of cancer lesions. In order to maintain the improved image quality, it is crucial to apply detectors of superior performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare PET image quality using Monte Carlo simulation based on the detector materials of BGO, LSO, and LuAP. Materials and Methods: The Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) was used to design the PET detector. Scintillations with BGO, LSO and LuAP were modelled, with a size of 3.95 × 5.3 mm2 (width × height) and 25.0 mm (thickness). The PET detector consisted of 34 blocks per ring and a total of 4 rings. A line source of 1 MBq was modelled and acquired with a radius of 1 mm and length of 20 mm for 20 seconds. The acquired image was reconstructed maximum likelihood expectation maximization with 2 iteration and 10 subsets. The count comparison was carried out. Results and Discussion: The highest true, random, and scatter counts were obtained from the BGO scintillation detector compared to LSO and LuAP. Conclusion: The BGO scintillation detector material indicated excellent performance in terms of detection of gamma rays from emitted PET phantom.

Skeletal muscle (SM) is the largest organ of the body and is largely responsible for the metabolism required to maintain body functions. Furthermore, the maintenance of SM is dependent on the activation of muscle satellite (stem) cells (MSCs) and the subsequent proliferation and fusion of differentiating myoblasts into mature myofibers (myogenesis). Natural compounds are being used as therapeutic options to promote SM regeneration during aging, muscle atrophy, sarcopenia, cachexia, or obesity. In particular, ginseng-derived compounds have been utilized in these contexts, though ginsenoside Rg1 is mostly used for SM mass management. These compounds primarily function by activating the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, upregulating myogenin and MyoD to induce muscle hypertrophy, downregulating atrophic factors (atrogin1, muscle ring-finger protein-1, myostatin, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production), and suppressing the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cachexia. Ginsenoside compounds are also used for obesity management, and their anti-obesity effects are attributed to peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) inhibition, AMPK activation, glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation, and increased phosphorylations of insulin resistance (IR), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and Akt. This review was undertaken to provide an overview of the use of ginseng-related compounds for the management of SM-related disorders.

PET scanner는 양전자의 소멸복사에 의한 511 Kev의 감마선을 검출한다. multi ring detector에서 선원과 검출기사이의 기하학적 위치에 따른 감마선 검출에 대한 균등성(uniformity)을 검토 분석하였다. 감마선원과 검출기의 배열위치에 따른 이론적 검토와 일정한 크기의 phantom 내에서 방출되는 감마선을 2차원적으로 preset count하고, 검출기의 위치에 따라 평균계수치에 대한 편차율의 분포를 통하여 그 균등성을 비교 분석하였다. 1 bed data를 얻을 수 있는 47개의 검출기군으로 분류하고, 각 검출기군의 위치에 따른 편차율을 비교분석한 결과, 산란선과 산란되지 않은 모든 방사선량의 분포가 많은 중심군인 3번째부터 45번째까지에서는 평균편차의 비율이 $0.1{\sim}0.7%$로 비교적 균등도가 높게 나타났으나, 주변부에서는 편차율의 분포가 $1.1{\sim}5.2%$의 차이를 나타내고 있어, 주변부에서의 균등성이 중심부보다 감소되었다. 이것은 검출기 위치에 따른 계수율의 차이에 대한 이론적 근거와 일치하고 있으며, 감도를 알기위한 계수측정 부분에서도 중심부와 주변부와의 차이가 크게 다르게 나타났다. 이와같은 불균등성을 감소시키기 위하여 선원으로부터 모든 검출기 유효시야(UFOV) 내에서 충분한 방사능이 검출될 수 있도록 하는 우선적 조치가 필요하다고 판단된다.

목적: 핵의학과에서 가장 흔하게 이용되는 골 신티그라피가 인체에 방사선 장해를 일으키는지 아니면 오히려 적응반응을 통하여 유리한 작용을 하는지 여부를 알기 위하여 이 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 골 신티그라피를 시행한 22명의 환자(남자 6명, 여자 16명, 평균 연령 $50{\pm}14$세)를 대상으로 Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m-MDP) 주사 전과 주사 후 4시간에 각각 5 ml씩 채혈하여 배양하고 배양 46시간 후에 Cs-137조사기(central dose rate=654 Gy/h, Gammacell 3000 Elan, Nordion, Canada)를 이용하여 2 Gy의 감마 방사선을 조사하였다. 대조군 10명의 혈액을 채혈하여 Tc-99m-MDP 주사전에 채혈한 군과 같은 방법으로 조사하고 배양하였다. Colcemid 처리 2시간 후에 수확하여 세포 600개당 불안정 염색체인 반지형과 이 중 중심체형 염색체의 숫자를 계수하여 각 군 간의 불안정염색체계수를 분산 분석으로 비교하였다. 결과: Tc-99m-MDP를 주사하기 전에 채혈하고 2 Gy를 조사한 군과 대조군에서 2 Gy를 조사한 군의 불안정염색체의 수는 유의한 차이가 없었다(각각 $385.1{\pm}30.5$, $367.8{\pm}36.6$, p>0.05). 하지만 Tc-99m-MDP를 주사한 후에 채혈하고 2 Gy를 조사한 군에서 불안정 염색체의 수가 유의하게 감소하였다($192.6{\pm}22.1$, p=0.0001). 결론: 골 신티그라피에 의한 저선량의 방사선 조사에 의해서 말초혈액 림프구가 적응반응을 나타내어 다음에 이어지는 방사선 장해에 대해 저항성을 갖는 다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Many researchers have employed cryopreserved amniotic membrane (CAM) in the treatment of a severely damaged cornea, using corneal epithelial cells cultured on an amniotic membrane (AM). In this study, two Teflon rings were made for culturing the cells on the LAM and CAM, and were then used to support the AM, which is referred to in this paper as an Ahn's AM supporter. The primary corneal epithelial cells were obtained from the limbus, using an ex-plantation method. The corneal epithelium could be reconstructed by culturing the third­passage corneal epithelial cells on the AM. A lyophilized amniotic membrane (LAM) has a higher rate of graft take, a longer shelf life, is easier to store, and safer, due to gamma irradiation, than a (AM. The corneal epithelium reconstructed on the LAM and (AM, supported by the two­Teflon rings, was similar to normal corneal epithelium. However, the advantages of the LAM over that of the (AM make the former more useful. The reconstruction model of the corneal epithelium, using AM, is considered as a good in vitro model for transplantation of cornel epithelium into patients with a severely damaged cornea.

A phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (MT267-2B) was isolated from the culture broth of actinomycetes isolate MT2617-2 by the extraction with n-butanol and column chromatographic techniques. The molecular weight of the inhibitor was 1057, by the spectroscopic analyses of IR, $^{13}C$-and $^{1}H$-NMR and ESI-MS. The chemical structure of MT2617-2B was found to be a macrolide compound consisted of a hemiketal ring, polyhydroxyl and polymethyl groups, which had a malonate and guanidine group as its side chain. MT2617-2B produced its two isomers having the same molecular weight by standing in methanol solution at room temperature. Therefore, MT2617-2B was identified as copiamycin and niphithricin A, macrolide antibiotics. The values of $IC_{50}$ against PLC-${\gamma}$1 and PLC-${\beta}$1 were 25 and 50${\mu}$g/ml, respectively. MT2617-2B had antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, but not against Escherichia coli.
