Progesterone catabolizing enzyme, the enzyme $20{\alpha}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrgenase($20{\alpha}$-HSD) is pivotal in the regulation of ovarian function in rodents, which catabolizes progesterone into biologically inactive $20{\alpha}$-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one($20{\alpha}$-OHP). In this study was carried out the influence of $20{\alpha}$-HSD activity of ovarian function, we investigated changes in ovarian cytosol $20{\alpha}$-HSD activity and serume progesterone concentration during the estrous cycles and pregnancy in rat. During the estrous cycles, the $20{\alpha}$-HSD activities were highest on the progestrous, but serum progesterone concentration was lowest on this phase. During the pregnancy, the $20{\alpha}$-HSD activities were relatively higher early pregnancy(day-1-3 gestation) and late pregnancy(day 21 to parturition), serum progesterone concentration was maintained significantly high to day 19 of gestation. The $20{\alpha}$-HSD activities were lower during the middle pregnancy. From these results, ovarian $20{\alpha}$-HSD activities may possibly act as physiologically very important in the control and maintenance of estrous cycles in rat.

[ $\alpha$ ]Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) is a glycosidase that hydrolyzes disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides resulting in the release of α-D-glucose. In this study, $\alpha$-glucosidase activity in the hemolymph and midgut of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori and Japanese oak silkmoth Antheraea yamamai was measured using maltose, sucrose, trehalose, and p-nitrophenyl $\alpha$-D-glucopyranoside as substrates. In general, hemolymph $\alpha$-glucosidase activity was higher in B. mori than in A. yamamai. In contrast, midgut $\alpha$-glucosidase activity was higher in A. yamamai than in B. mori for all of the substrates tested. $\alpha$-Glucosidase activity in the midgut of both B. mori and A. yamamai showed similar responses to changes in pH and temperature for all of the substrates tested. Native (7.5%) PAGE of hemolymph and midgut proteins from B. mori and A. yamamai followed by staining with 4-methylumbelliferyl $\alpha$-D-glucoside (MUG) indicated that the $\alpha$-glucosidases of these related lepidopterans are functionally similar but structurally different. In comparison to $\alpha$-glucosidase activity from A. yamamai, $\alpha$-glucosidase activity from B. mori was generally less sensitive to the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), acarbose, and voglibose when the activity was determined using maltose, sucrose, and trehalose.

This study was prepared to optimize $\alpha$-azuki bean powder content by sensory evaluation method when manufacturing bread with added $\alpha$-azuki bean powder. These sensory characteristics were designed to investigate sensory evaluation about appearance, color, texture, taste and overall acceptability of small red bean bread by balanced incomplete block design. According to evaluated mean of adjusted treatments, appearance was represented high value in bread with added 3% and 6% $\alpha$-azuki bean powder than bread without $\alpha$-azuki bean powder. Bread without $\alpha$-azuki bean powder was revealed maximum sensory score value of color among whole treatments and vread with added 6% $\alpha$-azuki bean powder was revealed second highest sensory value. As $\alpha$-azuki bean powder content increased, sensory score of texture, taste and overall acceptability increased. and bread added 12% $\alpha$-azuki bean powder revealed maximum sensory score. On the results of this research about sensory characteristics for manufacturing bread with added $\alpha$-azuki bean powder, bread with added $\alpha$-azuki bean powder was considered optimum when12% $\alpha$-azuki bean powder was added wheat flour because of highest score of texture, taste and overall acceptability in spite of lower score of appearance and color.

배 경 : 삼출성흉수의 원인질환 중 흉수 내 림프구가 우세한 경우는 결핵성흉수와 암성흉수가 가장 흔하다. 그러나 두 질환의 감별은 흉막생검을 비롯한 침습적 방법이 필요하며 약 20% 정도는 진단을 명확하게 내릴수 없다. TNF-${\alpha}$는 종양세포나 다른 염증성세포들과 작용하여 숙주의 면역체계에 중요한 역할을 하며, 감염성 혹은 악성흉수인 경우 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$는 증가한다. 저자들은 결핵성흉수와 악성흉수를 구분하는데 세포성 면역에 관계하는 TNF-${\alpha}$의 유용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 삼출성 흉수로 입원한 환자 46 예(암성흉수 13 예, 결핵성흉수 33 예)를 대상으로 하였다. 혈청과 흉수의 TNF-${\alpha}$를 ELISA법으로 측정하였으며, 혈청에 대한 흉수의 TNF-${\alpha}$ 농도의 비(TNF-${\alpha}$ 비)를 구하였다. 결 과 : 결핵성흉수 및 악성흉수의 혈청 내 TNF-${\alpha}$는 차이가 없었으나, 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$는 결핵성흉수가 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.01), TNF-${\alpha}$ 비 역시 결핵성흉수가 높았다(p<0.05). 그러나 두 질환의 혈청 및 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$의 상관관계는 없었다. ROC 곡선을 이용하여 이들 질환의 감별할 수 있는 기준치를 구하였는데 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$의 절사값을 136.4 pg/mL로 하였을 때 민감도 81%, 특이도 80% (p<0.005), TNF-${\alpha}$ 비는 절사값을 6.4로 하였을 때 민감도 76%, 특이도 70% (p<0.05) 이었다. 곡선밑면적은 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$가 TNF-${\alpha}$ 비보다 유의하게 넓었다. 결 론 : 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$측정과 TNF-${\alpha}$ 비는 결핵성흉수와 암성흉수를 감별진단 하는데 이용될 수 있으며, 흉수 내 TNF-${\alpha}$가 TNF-${\alpha}$ 비보다 더 유용한 지표로 판단된다.

신생 쥐 간의 subcellular fraction의 특징과 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase의 subcellular localization및 특성을 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1000g 30초 침전 fraction은 총 DNA의 95%를 차지하므로써 crude nuclei fraction으로 나타났으며 또한 5'-nucleotidase의 specific activity가 높은 것은 파괴되지 않은 세포에 기인된 것으로 생각이 되며, 1450g 10분 침전 fraction은 5'-nucleotidase의 activity가 가장 높으므로 crude plasma membrane fraction으로 동정하였으나 mitochondria가 같이 침전되어 있었으며, 9000g 20분 침전 fraction은 succinate-cytochrome C reductase의 activity가 가장 높아 mitochondria fraction으로 하였고, 105,000g 60분 상등액은 LDH가 가장 높아 cytosol로 하였으며, 105,000g 60분 침전은 남은 부분으로 microsome fraction으로 추정하였다. 각 fraction에 기질인 $3{\beta}$-hydroxy-$5{\alpha}$-pregnan-20-one을 incubation시킨 후의 생성된 steroid를 보면 crude nuclei fraction에서는 pregnadiol($5{\alpha}$-pregnane-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, $20{\alpha}$-diol)의 형성으로 $20{\alpha}$-reduction과 $3{\alpha}$-$3{\beta}$ iso${\beta}$merization을 볼 수 있었으며 crude plasma membrane fraction에서는 $20{\alpha}$-reduction과 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylation을 볼 수 있었으며 crude mitochondria와 cytosol에서는 $20{\alpha}$-reduction만을 crude microsome에서는 $16{\alpha}$-hydroxylation을 볼 수 있었으므로 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylase는 crude plasma membrane에 존재함을 확인하였다. 한편 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase에 존재함을 확인하였다. 한편 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase의 최대 활성도는 pH 7에서 나타났으며 progesterone은 hydroxylation을 시키지 못한 반면 $3{\alpha}$-hydroxy-$5{\alpha}$-pregnan-20-one은 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylation이 되었다.

E. M. Silvia introduced the class $S^\lambda_\alpha$ of $\alpha$-spirallike functions f(z) satisfying the condition $$ (A) Re[(e^{i\lambda} - \alpha) \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} + \alpha \frac{(zf'(z))'}{f'(z)}] > 0, $$ where $\alpha \geq 0, $\mid$\lambda$\mid$ < \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $$\mid$z$\mid$ < 1$. We will generalize Silvia class of functions by formally replacing f(z) in the denominator of (A) by a spirallike function g(z). We denote the new class of functions by $Y(\alpha,\lambda)$. In this note we obtain some results for the class $Y(\alpha,\lambda)$ including integral representation formula, relations between our class $Y(\alpha,\lambda)$ and Ziegler class $Z_\lambda$, the radius of convexity problem, a few coefficient estimates and a covering theorem for the class $Y(\alpha,\lambda)$.

We prepared the polyclonal antibody anti-$20{\alpha}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD) against the recombinant full-length protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD in Escherichia coli. The specificity of anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD was demonstrated using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with recombinant bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD and bovine placental tissues. According to western blot analysis, anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD specifically recognizes the 37-kDa protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD. The protein is not present in untransfected CHO cells. Anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD also recognizes a specific protein in the ovaries and placenta of other animals. Immunostaining was used to detect expression of bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD protein in the cultured luteal cells during the estrous cycle later.

Let R be an associative ring with involution * and ${\alpha},{\beta}:R{\rightarrow}R$ ring homomorphisms. An additive mapping $d:R{\rightarrow}R$ is called an $({\alpha},{\beta})^*$-derivation of R if $d(xy)=d(x){\alpha}(y^*)+{\beta}(x)d(y)$ is fulfilled for any $x,y{\in}R$, and an additive mapping $F:R{\rightarrow}R$ is called a generalized $({\alpha},{\beta})^*$-derivation of R associated with an $({\alpha},{\beta})^*$-derivation d if $F(xy)=F(x){\alpha}(y^*)+{\beta}(x)d(y)$ is fulfilled for all $x,y{\in}R$. In this note, we intend to generalize a theorem of Vukman [12], and a theorem of Daif and El-Sayiad [6], moreover, we generalize a theorem of Ali et al. [4] and a theorem of Huang and Koc [9] related to generalized Jordan triple $({\alpha},{\beta})^*$-derivations.
