  • P2X receptors are membrane-bound ion channels that conduct $Na^+,\;K^+$, and $Ca^{2+}$ in response to ATP and its analogs. There are seven subunits identified so far ($P2X_1-P2X_7$). $P2X_2$ receptors are known to be expressed in a wide range of organs including brains and adrenal grands. PC12 cells are originated from adrenal grand and differentiated by nerve growth factor or pituitary adenylate cyclase activating poly peptide (PACAP). Previous studies indicate that $P2X_2$ receptor activation in PC12 cells couples to $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ release of catecholamine and ATP. It is known that acidic pH potentiates ATP currents at $P2X_2$ receptors. This leads to a hypothesis that $P2X_2$ receptors may play an important role in PC12 cell differentiation, one of the characteristics of which is neurite outgrowth, induced by the hormones under lower pH. In the present study, we isolated several clones which potentiate neurite outgrowth by PACAP in acidic pH (6.8), but not in alkaline pH (7.6). RT-PCR and electrophysiology data indicate that these clones express only functional $P2X_2$ receptors in the absence or presence of PACAP for 3 days. Potentiation of neurite outgrowth resulted from PACAP (100 nM) in acidic pH is inhibited by the two P2X receptor antagonists, suramin and PPADS ($100\;{\mu}M)$ each), and exogenous exprerssion of ATP-binding mutant $P2X_2$ receptor subunit ($P2X_2[K69A]$). However, acid sensing ion channels (ASICs) are not involved in PACAP-induced neurite outgrowth potentiation in lower pH since treatments of an inhibitor of ASICs, amyloride ($10\;{\mu}M$), did not give any effects to neurite extension. The vesicular proton pump ($H^+-ATPase$) inhibitor, bafilomycin (100 nM), reduced neurite extension indicating that ATP release resulted from $P2X_2$ receptor activation in PC12 cells is needed for neurite outgrowth. These were confirmed by activation of mitogen activated protein kinases, such as ERKs and p38. These results suggest roles of ATP and $P2X_2$ receptors in hormone-induced cell differentiation or neuronal synaptogenesis in local acidic environments.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the difference of sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of college students who fulfilled military service and those who did not, for providing basic data for developing nursing interventions for the college students. Methods: This study used a descriptive research design. The subjects of this study were 3,741 male college students. Data were collected through personal interviews using questionnaires from November to December 2007. The sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behavior measurement tool was used. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test and chi-square test. Results: The major findings of this study were as follows: 1) There was a statistically significant difference in sexual knowledge of contraception / abortion(p = .002, t = 3.16), venereal disease(p = .006, t = .2.73), sexual attitude of sexual behavior(p = .002; t = 3.13) and sexual double think(p = .047, t = 1.98) according to military service 2) There was a statistically significant difference in sexual behavior experience frequency of 9 items(friendship with opposite sex, kiss / embracing, petting, porno magazine / porno video contact, masturbation, sexual intercourse via anus, sexual intercourse via mouth, cause pregnancy, cause abortion: p < .000, $x^2$ = 39.47; p < .000, $x^2$ = 55.88; p < .000, $x^2$ = 46.76; p = .034, $x^2$ = 6.77; p = .017, $x^2$ = 12.05; p = .003, $x^2$ = 14.24; p < .000, $x^2$ = 47.70; p < .000, $x^2$ = 23.86; p < .000, $x^2$ = 21.84) respectively according to military service. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that sexual knowledge, attitudes and behavior differ before and after the experience of military service, so further study for detecting military sex culture character effecting difference in sex knowledge, attitudes and behavior is needed.

  • 바나듐(V)도핑이 $Fe_3O_4$의 자기적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 졸-겔 방법을 이용하여 $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ 박막들을 제작하고, x-ray diffraction(XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy(CEMS), vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM) 등을 이용하여 그 구조적, 자기적 특성들을 측정 및 분석하였다. XRD 측정 결과에 따르면 $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ x=1.0까지 입방(cubic)구조를 유지하며, 그 격자 상수는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 바나듐의 2p 및 철의 2p 준위들에 대한 XPS 측정 및 분석 결과, 바나듐은 화합물 내에서 주로 +3가의 상태로 존재하며, 성분비 x가 증가함에 따라 +2가 이온의 농도가 증가함이 나타났다. CEMS측정 결과 $V^{3+}$이온들은 사면체 $Fe^{3+}$자리를 주로 치환하며, $Fe^{2+}$이온들은 팔면체 $Fe^{2+}$자리를 치환하는 것으로 나타났다. 박막들에 대한 상온에서의 VSM측정 결과, 바나듐을 작은 양 도핑 할 경우(x=0.14) $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4$의 포화자화량(saturation magnetization)은 $Fe_3O_4$ 비하여 증가함이 나타났으며, 다량 도핑 할 경우$(x\geq0.5) Fe_3O_4$에 비하여 점차적으로 감소함이 나타났다. $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4$의 보자력(coercivity)은 x의 증가에 따라 증가함이 나타났는데, $V^{2+}(d^3)$ 이온의 팔면체 자리 치환에 의한 비등방성의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다.

  • Eugenol is widely used in dentistry to relieve pain. We have recently demonstrated voltage-gated $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ channels as molecular targets for its analgesic effects, and hypothesized that eugenol acts on $P2X_3$, another pain receptor expressed in trigeminal ganglion (TG), and tested the effects of eugenol by whole-cell patch clamp and $Ca^{2+}$ imaging techniques. In the present study, we investigated whether eugenol would modulate 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-induced currents in rat TG neurons and $P2X_3$-expressing human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. ATP-induced currents in TG neurons exhibited electrophysiological properties similar to those in HEK293 cells, and both ATP- and $\alpha$, $\beta$-meATP-induced currents in TG neurons were effectively blocked by TNP-ATP, suggesting that $P2X_3$ mediates the majority of ATP-induced currents in TG neurons. Eugenol inhibited ATP-induced currents in both capsaicin-sensitive and capsaicin-insensitive TG neurons with similar extent, and most ATP-responsive neurons were IB4-positive. Eugenol inhibited not only $Ca^{2+}$ transients evoked by $\alpha$, $\beta$-meATP, the selective $P2X_3$ agonist, in capsaicin-insensitive TG neurons, but also ATP-induced currents in $P2X_3$-expressing HEK293 cells without co-expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). We suggest, therefore, that eugenol inhibits $P2X_3$ currents in a TRPV1-independent manner, which contributes to its analgesic effect.

  • 전통적인 펜톤반응에서 Superoxide radical (${O_2}^-$.)에 의한 사염화탄소의 환원반응을 조사하였으며 과산화수소의 농도구배와 pH의 변화에 따른 ${O_2}^-$.의 생성률을 측정하였다. 펜톤반응에서 1-헥산올의 분해율은 pH가 증가함에 따라 90% (pH3) 에서 5% (pH5) 급격하게 감소한 반면 사염화탄소의 분해율은 pH가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 펜톤반응이 Hydroxyl radical (${O_2}^-$.)의 산화반응과 ${O_2}^-$.의 환원반응이 공존하는 반응임을 보이는 결과이다. ${O_2}^-$.의 생성률은 pH 11에서 $H_2$O$_2$의 농도가 29.4mM에서 294mM로 증가함에 따라 (45.3$\pm$7.8) X $10^{-6}$ M/s에서 (151.0$\pm$26.2) X $10^{v}$ / M/s로 증가하였으며 294mM의 H$_2$$O_2$에서 pH가 7에서 11로 증가함에 따라 (22.1$\pm$3.8) x $10^{-6}$ / M/s에서 (151.0$\pm$26.2) x $10^{-6}$ M/s 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 ${O_2}^-$.의 환원력을 적용한 펜톤반응이 넓은 pH영역에서 적용될 수 있음을 나타내는 결과이다. 특별히 토양내 흡착력이 약하고 지하수내에 쉽게 용해될 수 있으며 독성 및 발암성물질로 알려진 사염화탄소와 같은 염소계 유기화합물의 제거에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Let $q = p^r$, where p is a prime. A polynomial $f(x) \in GF(q)[x]$ is called a permutation polynomial (PP) over GF(q) if the numbers f(a) where $a \in GF(Q)$ are a permutation of the a's. In other words, the equation f(x) = a has a unique solution in GF(q) for each $a \in GF(q)$. More generally, $f(x_1, \cdots, x_n)$ is a PP in n variables if $f(x_1,\cdots,x_n) = \alpha$ has exactly $q^{n-1}$ solutions in $GF(q)^n$ for each $\alpha \in GF(q)$. Mullen ([3], [4], [5]) has studied the concepts of local permutation polynomials (LPP's) over finite fields. A polynomial $f(x_i, x_2, \cdots, x_n) \in GF(q)[x_i, \codts,x_n]$ is called a LPP if for each i = 1,\cdots, n, f(a_i,\cdots,x_n]$ is a PP in $x_i$ for all $a_j \in GF(q), j \neq 1$.Mullen ([3],[4]) found a set of necessary and three variables over GF(q) in order that f be a LPP. As examples, there are 12 LPP's over GF(3) in two indeterminates ; $f(x_1, x_2) = a_{10}x_1 + a_{10}x_2 + a_{00}$ where $a_{10} = 1$ or 2, $a_{01} = 1$ or x, $a_{00} = 0,1$, or 2. There are 24 LPP's over GF(3) of three indeterminates ; $F(x_1, x_2, x_3) = ax_1 + bx_2 +cx_3 +d$ where a,b and c = 1 or 2, d = 0,1, or 2.
