Red ginseng saponin fraction-A (RGSF-A) contains a high percentage of panaxadiol saponins that were isolated from Korean red ginseng by ultrafiltration. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of RGSF-A on the porcine distal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. The relaxant responses to RGSF-A were examined during contractions induced by 100 nM U46619 (9,11-dideoxy-9a,11a-methanoepoxy-prostaglandin F2a), a stable analogue of thromboxane A2. RGSF-A dose-dependently induced biphasic (fast- and slow-) relaxation in the distal LAD coronary artery in the presence of an intact endothelium. The fast-relaxation was quickly achieved in a minute, and then the slow-relaxation was slowly developed and sustained for more than thirty minutes after the administration of RGSF-A. The slow-relaxation had a tendency to be bigger than the fast-relaxation. Fast relaxation induced by RGSF-A was almost blocked by $N_{\omega}$-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a nitric oxide synthase synthase inhibitor and 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), a guanylate cyclase inhibitor. However slow relaxation induced by RGSF-A was only partially inhibited by L-NAME and ODQ. In the endothelium-removed ring, RGSF-A evoked only slowrelaxation to a certain extent. These data suggest that RGSF-A induced both endothelium dependent fast- and slow-relaxation and endothelium independent slow-relaxation in the porcine distal LAD coronary artery. The endothelium dependent fast-relaxation is mediated by the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway, and the endothelium dependent slow-relaxation is at least partially mediated by the NO-cGMP pathway. However, the endothelium-independent slow-relaxation remains to be elucidated.

사파이어 기판 위에 성장된 GaN위에 RUO₂/GaN 쇼트키형 자외선 수광소자를 설계, 제작하였다. 자외선 빛의 흡수율을 높이기 위해, MOCVD 다층구조는 undoped GaN(0.5 ㎛)in￣-GaN(0.1 ㎛)/n＋-GaN(1.5 ㎛)로 성장하였다. 성장층은 3.8×10/sup 18/ cm￣³의 캐리어 농도와 283 ㎠/V· s의 이동도를 가진다. 500 ㎛내외의 직경을 가지는 메사구조를 형성하기 위해 ECR 식각한 후, n＋-GaN층위에 Al으로 저항성 접촉을 하였다. 저항성 및 쇼트키 접촉 사이에 Si₃/N₄ 박막으로 절연한 이후 undoped GaN 층위에 RuO₂ 쇼트키 접촉을 하였다. 제작된 쇼트키 다이오드는 1.15×10/sup -5/ ［Ω-㎠］의 접촉비저항을 가졌다. 제작된 다이오드는 역전압인 -5V에서 305pA의 낮은 누설전류를 확인하였는데, 이 값은 RuO₂ 쇼트키 금속증착에 의해 현저히 향상된 것이다. 광측정에서는 10/sup 5/의 자외선대가시광선 제거비와 365nm 파장에서 0.23A/W로 높은 응답도를 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a wire connector fabricated for the effective installation of a lighting fixture including its contact resistance, insulation resistance, withstanding voltage characteristics, etc., and to provide the basis for the analysis and judgment of PL(Product Liability) dispute by presenting a damage pattern due to a general flame and overcurrent. This study applied the Korean Standard (KS) for the incombustibility test of the connector using a general flame and performed an overcurrent characteristics test of the connector using PCITS (Primary Current Injection Test System). The contact resistance of the housing connector was measured using a high resistance meter and the insulation resistance was measured using a multimeter. In addition, a supply voltage of AC 1,500V for testing the withstanding voltage characteristics was applied to both ends of the connector. Measurement was performed on 5 specimens and the measured values were used as a basis for judgment. Since the connector is fabricated in the form of a housing, it can be connected and separated easily and has a structure that allows no foreign material to enter. In addition, since it has a structure that allows wires to be connected only when their polarity is identical, any misconnection that may occur during installation can be prevented. When the incombustibility test was performed by applying a general flame to the connector, it showed outstanding incombustibility characteristics and the blade and blade holder connected to the housing remained firmly secured even after the insulation sheath (PVC) was completely destroyed by fire. In addition, the mechanism of the damaged connecting wire showed a comparatively uniform carbonization pattern and it was found that some residual melted insulation material was attached to both ends. In the accelerated life test (ALT) to which approximately 500% of the rated current was applied, the connector damage proceeded in the order of white smoke generation, wire separation, spark occurrence and carbonization. That is, it could be seen that the connector damaged by overcurrent lost its own metallic color with traces of discoloration and carbonization. The contact resistance of the connector at a normal state was 2.164mV/A on average. The contact resistance measured after the high temperature test was 3.258mV/A. In addition, the insulation resistance after the temperature test was completed was greater than $10G\Omega$ and the withstanding voltage test result showed that no insulation breakdown occurred to all specimens showing stable withstanding voltage and insulation resistance characteristics.

본 실험에서는 L. fermentum YL-3의 생존에 관한 연구로 살아 있는 상태로 위를 거쳐 장내에 정착하여 생균제로서의 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 내산성과 저장성에 초점을 맞추었다. 유산균 성장촉진 물질로 첨가되어 온 tween 80 성분의 제거가 pH 2.0에서 L. fermentum YL-3의 내산성을 약 1 log cycle 정도 향상시켰다. 지방산 분석에서는 세포의 유동성 및 동결 등에 저항성을 가진다고 보고되는 $C_{19:0}\;cyc\;{\omega}8c(lactobacillic\;acid)$의 성분이 24.6% 증가함으로써 내산성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 온도별에서도 배양 온도가 상승할수록 내산성은 향상되었으며 배양시간 역시 길수록 향상되나 생균수를 고려해야 하므로 $42^{\circ}C$의 배양온도에서 대수기 말기의 균제를 이용하였다. 그래서 최종 배양 조건은 tween 80이 제거된 $MRS^-$ 배지에서 $20{\sim}24$시간 $42^{\circ}C$에서 혐기 배양을 실시한 균체를 capsule 제도에 이용하였다. Alginate capsule이 산, 열, 인산염 등에 풀어지는 단점을 가져 무독성의 1% chitosan을 이용하였으며 표면의 관찰 결과, chitosan처리 후 가교 결함에 의하여 더욱 촘촘한 막이 형성되었으며 alginate capsule에서 여러 군데 보이던 미세 구멍이 줄었으며 CLSM을 이용한 L. fermentum YL-3의 포집은 안정한 상태로 포집 균수는 약 $2.0{\times}10^9\;CFU/g$ 정도였다. 캡슐화된 L. fermentum YL-3의 내산성에서는, 3시간 동안 pH 2.0에서 alginate capsule은 약 40 %가 생존한 반면 chitosan 처리 후의 alginate capsule은 약 65% 정도로 생존율의 향상을 보였다. 캡슐화된 L. fermentum YL-3의 저장성에서는 상온인 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 초기 균수에서 1주 사이 $2{\sim}3\;log\;cycle$정도로 급격히 사멸되었으며 chitosan 처리구나 zeolite 처리구에 의한 상온에서의 저장성 향상에서는 영향을 미치지 못했다. $4^{\circ}C$에서는 $2.0{\times}10^9\;CFU/g$이었던 초기균수가 3주까지 모두 $10^8\;CFU/g$ 이상의 생존율을 나타내었으며 특히 chitosan으로 처리한 capsule의 저장성은 3주 후 약 24% 정도로 alginate capsule에 비해 생존율이 높았다.
