Ambroxol is thought to have antioxidant ability and some antiinflammatory effect. Effect of ambroxol on the oxidative damages of lipid, collagen and hyaluronic acid was examined. F $e_{2+}$(10 $\mu$M) and 100$\mu$Mascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation of liver microsomes was inhibited by 10 and 100$\mu$M ambroxol, 30$\mu$g/ml catalase and 10 mM DABCO but was not affected by 30$\mu$g/ml SOD and 10 mM DMSO. A 10 and 100$\mu$M ambroxol and 10 mM DABCO inhibited the peroxidative action of 10$\mu$M F $e_{3+}$, 160$\mu$M ADP and 100$\mu$M NADPH on microsomal lipids, whereas inhibitory effects of 30$\mu$g/ml SOD,30$\mu$g/ml catalase and 10 mM DMSO were not detected. The degradation of hyaluronic acid caused by 107M Fe2\\`,5007M H2O2 and 100$\mu$M ascorbate was inhibited by 10 and 100$\mu$M ambroxol,30$\mu$g/ml catalase,10 mM DMSO and 10 mM DABCO, while 30$\mu$g/ml SOD did not show any effect. The cartilage collagen degradation caused by 307$\mu$ F $e_{2+}$,500$\mu$M $H_2O$$_2$ and 200$\mu$M ascorbate was prevented by 100$\mu$M ambroxol. $H_2O$$_2$ and OH . were scavenged by ambroxol, whereas $O_2$, was not removed by it. Ambroxol (100$\mu$M) and 1 mM cysteine reduced DPPH to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine. In conclusion, ambroxol may inhibit the oxidative damages of lipid, hyaluronic acid and collagen by its scavenging action on oxidants, such as OH . and probably iron-oxygen complexes and exert antioxidant ability.

Thermal conductivities (TC) of 57 Jurassic muscovitic granite samples (KIGAM) and 149 porphyritic granite samples (Yeonki: BE-2, BE-3) were measured with LFA-447. Ranges of TC values are $2.429{\sim}3.878$ W/mK (KIGAM), $2.220{\sim}3.767$ W/mK (Yeonki, BE-2) and $2.019{\sim}3.990$ W/mK (Yeonki, BE-3); arithmetic means are 2.924 W/mK (KIGAM), 2.907 W/mK (Yeonki, BE-2), and 2.881 W/mK (Yeonki, BE-3), respectively. In this study, harmonic mean values were calculated to estimate the average value of TC. Harmonic mean values are 2.883 W/mK (KIGAM), 2.886 W/mK (Yeonki, BE-2), and 2.866 W/mK (Yeonki, BE-3), respectively. Heat extraction rates of a borehole heat exchanger strongly depend on TC values. Heat-extraction rates from re values are expected to be a little lower than 84 W/m in all sites. However, considering ground water flow, it is expected that actual heat extraction rate would be higher than the expected value.

A ${\beta}$-glucosidase from Phoma sp. KCTC11825BP isolated from rotten mandarin peel was purified 8.5-fold with a specific activity of 84.5 U/mg protein. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 440 kDa with a subunit of 110 kDa. The partial amino acid sequence of the purified ${\beta}$-glucosidase evidenced high homology with the fungal ${\beta}$- glucosidases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3. Its optimal activity was detected at pH 4.5 and $60^{\circ}C$, and the enzyme had a half-life of 53 h at $60^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ values for p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside and cellobiose were 0.3 mM and 3.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by both glucose ($K_i$=1.7 mM) and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone ($K_i$=0.1 mM) when pNPG was used as the substrate. Its activity was inhibited by 41% by 10 mM $Cu^{2+}$ and stimulated by 20% by 10 mM $Mg^{2+}$.

규소를 0, 1.7, 5.1 mM 수준으로 재배한 가지 잎을 먹이로 점박이응애의 발육을 조사하였다. 규소 시비수준이 증가함에 따라 식물체내 N, P, K, Ca, Mg 함량은 감소하였으나 Si의 함량은 증가하였다. 규소 시비수준이 증가함에 따라 칼로리, 조단백질, 탄수화물, 비타민C 등은 감소하였고, 회분, 섬유소, 설탕 등은 증가하였다. 수량과 엽록소는 규소 시비수준이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고, 잎 두께는 두꺼워졌다. 식이선호성은 0 mM처리에서 가장 높았고, 1.7 mM처리에서 낮았으며, 산란선호성은 규소함량이 증가할수록 줄어들었다. 발육율에 있어서는 암컷과 수컷 모두 감소하는 경향이었다. 암컷 성충기간은 규소함량이 증가함에 따라 짧아졌고, 수컷은 0 mM처리에서 5.7일로 가장 길고, 1.7 mM처리에서 짧았다. 산란기간도 규소함량이 증가함에 따라 짧아졌다. 산란 수는 1.7 mM처리에서 86.3개로 가장 많았고, 일일 산란수는 0 mM처리에서 7.7개로 가장 적었다. 부화율은 처리 간에 차이가 없었고, 성비는 0 mM처리에서 0.75로 가장 높았다. $R_o$와 T는 규소수준이 증가할수록 감소하였고, $r_m$과 $\lambda$는 5.1 mM이 가장 낮았으며, DT는 5.1 mM이 가장 높은 1.83일, 1.7 mM이 가장 낮은 1.70일이었다. 식물체내 규소함량은 점박이응애의 발육에 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 점박이응애의 기피현상이 있었고, 엽내 영양물질의 감소로 점박이응애의 증가율이 감소되는 경향이었다.

Recent advances in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. This communication paradigm has been expected as an automated control and report solution for smart grid. The smart grid enables customers and operators to utilize the collected usage information from a large number of meters with transceivers for efficiency and safety. In this paper, we introduce architecture, requirements and challenges of M2M communications for smart grid. We extract technical issues that should be resolved in M2M communications to support the smart grid via third-generation partnership project (3GPP) cellular networks. We then present the current state of the art of research results to deal with such issues. Finally, we outline the open research issues.

In this study, recombinant Fc-fused Prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) proteins were produced in transgenic plants. PAP was fused to immunoglobulin (Ig) A and M Fc domain (PAP-IgA Fc and PAP-IgM Fc), which were tagged to the ER retention sequence KDEL to generate PAP-IgA FcK and PAP-IgM FcK. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was performed to produce transgenic tobacco plants expressing four recombinant proteins. Genomic PCR and RT-PCR analyses confirmed the transgene insertion and mRNA transcription of PAP-IgA Fc, PAP-IgM Fc, PAP-IgA FcK, and PAP-IgM FcK in tobacco plant leaves. Western blot confirmed the expression of PAP-IgA Fc, PAP-IgM Fc, PAP-IgA FcK, and PAP-IgM FcK proteins. SEC-HPLC and Bio-TEM analyses were performed to confirm the size and shape of the plant-derived recombinant PAP-Fc fusion proteins. In mice experiments, the plant-derived IgA and IgM Fc fused proteins induced production of total IgGs including IgG1 against PAP. This result suggests that IgA and IgM Fc fusion can be applied to produce recombinant PAP proteins as a prostate cancer vaccine in plant expression system.

The vascular actions and mechanisms of taurine were investigated in the isolated human radial artery (RA). RA rings were suspended in isolated organ baths and tension was recorded isometrically. First, a precontraction was achieved by adding potassium chloride (KCl, 45 mM) or serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, $30{\mu}M$) to organ baths. When the precontractions were stable, taurine (20, 40, 80 mM) was added cumulatively. Antagonistic effect of taurine on calcium chloride ($10{\mu}M$ to 10 mM) -induced contractions was investigated. Taurine-induced relaxations were also tested in the presence of the $K^+$ channel inhibitors tetraethylammonium (1 mM), glibenclamide ($10{\mu}M$) and 4-aminopyridine (1 mM). Taurine did not affect the basal tone but inhibited the contraction induced by 5-HT and KCl. Calcium chloride-induced contractions were significantly inhibited in the presence of taurine (20, 40, 80 mM) (p<0.05). The relaxation to taurine was inhibited by tetraethylammonium (p<0.05). However, glibenclamide and 4-aminopyridine did not affect taurine -induced relaxations. Present experiments show that taurine inhibits 5-HT and KCl -induced contractions in RA, and suggest that large conductance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^+$ channels may be involved in taurine -induced relaxation of RA.
