Flavonoids, such as fisetin (3,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone), are plant secondary metabolites. It has been reported that fisetin is able to perform numerous pharmacological roles including anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer activities; however, the exact anti-inflammatory mechanism of fisetin is not understood. In this study, the pharmacological action modes of fisetin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage-like cells were elucidated by using immunoblotting analysis, kinase assays, and an overexpression strategy. Fisetin diminished the release of nitric oxide (NO) and reduced the mRNA levels of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells without displaying cytotoxicity. This compound also blocked the nuclear translocation of p65/nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$. In agreement, the upstream phosphorylation events for NF-${\kappa}B$ activation, composed of Src, Syk, and I${\kappa}B{\alpha}$, were also reduced by fisetin. The phospho-Src level, triggered by overexpression of wild-type Src, was also inhibited by fisetin. Therefore, these results strongly suggest that fisetin can be considered a bioactive immunomodulatory compound with anti-inflammatory properties through suppression of Src and Syk activities.

For the investigation of bioactive natural products with hypoglycemic effect, we have evaluated various extracts of Pulsatillae Radix(Ranunculaceae), which has been used in traditional medicine for hematochezia due to intense evil heat, malaria, chills and fever, epistaxis and internal hemorrhoids. The ethylacetate extract of the radix of this plant was found to show a significant hypoglycemic effect on alloxan diabetogenic mice. Using bioactivity-guided chromatographic purification of the ethylacetate extract, hypoglycemic constituent: 2${\beta}$, 3${\beta}$, 14${\alpha}$, 20, 22R, 25-hexahydroxy-cholest-7-en-6-one was isolated and structurally identified by physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic evidences.

In order to enhance sintering characteristics on the $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}$ based multilayer chip varistors (MLVs), a response surface analysis using central composite design method were carried out. As a result, varistor voltage($V_{1mA}$), nonlinear coefficient ($\alpha$), leakage current ($I_L$) and capacitance (C) were considered to be mainly affected by sintered temperature and holding time. MLVs sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ and above $1200^{\circ}C$ revealed poor electrical characteristics, possibly due to the reaction between electrode materials(Pd) and $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}$ based ceramics. On the sintering temperature range $1150{\sim}1175^{\circ}C$, nonlinear coefficient ($\alpha$) and leakage current ($I_L$) were shown to be $60{\sim}69$ and below $0.3{\mu}A$, respectively. In particular, MLVs sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$, 1.5 hr and $2^{\circ}C/hr$ (cooling speed) showed stable ESD(Electrical Static Discharge) characteristics under the condition of 10 times at 8 Kv with deviation varistor voltage, and deviation nonlinear coefficient were 0.3% and 0.33% (at positive), 0.55% (at negative), respectively.

Let A be a commutative ring and M an Artinian .A-module. Let $\sigma$ be a torsion radical functor and (T, F) it's corresponding partition of Spec(A) In [1] the concept of Cohen-Macauly modules was generalized . In this paper we shall define $\sigma$-co-Cohen-Macaulay (abbr. $\sigma$-co-CM). Indeed this is one of the aims of this paper, we obtain some satisfactory properties of such modules. An-other aim of this paper is to generalize the concept of cograde by using the left derived functor $U^{\alpha}$$_{I}$(-) of the $\alpha$-adic completion functor, where a is contained in Jacobson radical of A.A.

We studied on the $\pi$-A isotherm of the L-$\alpha$-DLPC was measured at the air-water interface varying with the compressing speed and amounts of solutions for spreading. The molecular arrangement of deposited films were evaluated by measuring the absorption with the UVspectrometer.

This paper deals the HVDC system stability according to controller types. In this paper, in order to evaluate the stability, some important properties of the HVDC. such as $d{\tau}/d{\alpha}\;,\;dV/d{\alpha}$ and dP/dI stability in different control modes, are analysed. Furthermore, Maximum available power according to controller types are calculated. This paper shows a generated formulation of control sensitivity for control modes, aids in the design of the controller and the operating mode determination. Finally, a simulation is performed by Math/CAD, and a simulation results are verified.

Viscosity and zeta-potential of 11.0 wt. % aqueous bentonite suspension containing various electrolytes and hydrogen-ion concentration were measured by using a Couette type automatic rotational viscometer and Zeta Meter, respectively. The effects of pH and elcctrolytes on the rheological properties of the suspension were investigated. A system, which has a large zeta-potcntial, has a small intrinsic relaxation time ${\beta}$ and a small intrinsic shear modulus $1/{\alpha}$ in the Ree-Eyring generalized viscosity equation, i.e., such a system has a small viscosity value, since ${\eta}={\beta}/{\alpha}$. In general, a stable suspension system has large zeta-potential. The stability condition of clay-water suspension can be estimated by viscometric method since stable suspension generally has small viscosity. The correlation between the stability, viscosity and zeta-potential has been explained by the Ree-Eyring theory of viscous flow.

알파-락트알부민(${\alpha}-La$)의 열처리에 의한 겔 특성을 조사하기 위하여 ${\alpha}-La$ 농도, 염의 종류와 농도, 티올시약(NEM, DTT)의 농도를 달리해 $90^{\circ}C$에서 40분간 가열하여 만든 ${\alpha}-La$의 겔형성 시간과 용해성을 측정하였다. 겔형성 시간은 ${\alpha}-La$, NaCl, $CaCl_2$, DTT의 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였으나 NEM의 경우는 그와 반대로 나타났고 ${\alpha}-La$ 용액의 겔형성은 NEM $20{\sim}50\;mM$ 경우를 제외하고는 전부 40분 내에 이루어졌다. 용해성은 ${\alpha}-La$, NaCl, $CaCl_2$, DTT의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나 NEM의 경우는 NEM의 농도증가에 따라 용해성은 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 표준완충용액에 용해된 겔의 용해성은 각각 $10.4{\sim}51.3%$, $9.2{\sim}35.4%$, $11.1{\sim}35.0%$, $8.0{\sim}9.5%$, 그리고 $96.8{\sim}56.2%$였고, 8M urea와 0.5% SDS를 함유한 표준완충용액에서는 더 높은 값인 $41.8{\sim}81.3%$, $41.9{\sim}64.1%$, $43.5{\sim}69.8%$, $29.6{\sim}38.5%$, 그리고 $77.4{\sim}98.9%$로 각각 나타났다. DTT를 함유한 것은 모든 조건에서 거의 100%에 달하는 용해성을 나타내었다. 이상으로 ${\alpha}-La$의 겔형성 속도와 용해성은 여러인자 즉, 단백질 농도, 염의 종류와 농도, 티올시약의 농도 등에 의해 영향을 받고, 겔형성 속도가 증가될수록 겔의 용해성은 감소함을 알수 있었다.

홍삼분말이 $B(\alpha)P$의 투여에 의한 간 독성이 유발된 생쥐에서의 글루타치온 및 과산화지질 함량, 항산화효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. $B(\alpha)P$ 투여에 의해 증가된 혈청내 ALT와 AST의 활성이 홍삼분말 전 처리군에서는 감소하였다. 간 조직중의 글루타치온 함량은 $B(\alpha)P$ 단독군에서는 감소되었다가 홍삼분말 투여시 유의적인 증가를 보였고, 지질과산화물 함량은 $B(\alpha)P$ 투여시 증가되었다가 홍삼분말의 투여시 유의적으로 감소되었다. 간 조직중의 SOD, catalase 그리고 GSH-Px의 활성도 $B(\alpha)P$ 투여로 유의적으로 증가되었다가, 홍삼분말의 투여로 이들 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 반면, GST 활성은 $B(\alpha)P$ 단독군에서는 감소되었다가 홍삼분말 투여시 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 홍삼분말은 항산화효소의 활성에 의한 $B(\alpha)P$에 의한 간 손상에 대한 보호효과를 가지는 것으로 사료된다.

과냉각된 melt-spun $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$리본의 급속응고속도 및 열처리에 따른 보자력의 변화를 조사하였으며, 이 결과를 분석하기 위하여 비정질로 부터의 결정화 거동을 연구하였다. 리본 제조시 급속응고속도가 증가함에 따라 결정화 후의 고유 보자력은 감소하였다. $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ 비정질은 안정한 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상으로 결정화하는 과정에서 $\alpha$-Fe와 $Fe_3B$ 상이 생성된다. $Fe_3B$ 상은 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상이 결정화됨과 동시에 사라지나 $\alpha$-Fe 상은 완전히 결정화된 이후에도 기지상인 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상과 함께 잔류한다. 열처리된 리본내에 잔류하는 연자성상인 $\alpha$-Fe에 의해 고유 보자력의 특성이 저하하였다.
