Many evidences are compatible with the correlation between the inhibition of [$^3H$] imipramine([$^3H$]IMI) and [$^3H$]paroxetine([$^3H$]PAT) binding to the 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) transporter complex and the 5-HT uptake of 5-HT neurons and platelets, and most antidepressants have been shown to inhibit the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding and the neuronal 5-HT uptake. However, several paradoxical research findings led to doubt about the pharmacological significance of the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding sites. This study was carried to clarify the correlation between the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding parameters and the tissue 5-HT content or/and [$^3H$]5-HT uptake in the rabbit platelet, which contains 40 times ad much 5-HT as that of human platelet and shows the 10 fold higher $B_{max}$ of the 5-HT transporter binding to a 5-HT uptake inhibitor. The rabbits were treated for 28 days with amitriptyline(4mg/kg/day : AP), fluoxetine(0.5mg/kg/day : FO), and sertraline(0.5mg/kg/day : SA) via an Alzet osmotic pump implanted for constant infusion. The [$^3H$]IMI binding $B_{max}$ and $K_d$ of the rabbit platelets were $6.4{\pm}1.2$pmol/mg protein and $10.9{\pm}2.1$nM and those in the [$^3H$]PAT binding were $8.6{\pm}1.1$pmol/mg protein and $1.6{\pm}0.3$nM, respectively. AP slightly increased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]IMI binding and both [$^3H$]IMI binding and [$^3H$]PAT binding $K_d$, and i contrast, it slightly decreased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]PAT binding. FO Slightly increased $K_d$ of both and [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding and slightly decreased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding. SA produced the significant increase of [$^3H$]PAT binding $B_{max}$ and the slight increase of both [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding $K_d$ and in contrast, it slightly decreased $B_{max}$ and of [$^3H$]IMI binding. And, the $V_{max}$ and $K_m$ of platelet [$^3H$]5-HT uptake were $24.2{\pm}2.4$pmol/$10^8$ platelets/min and $3.3{\pm}0.3$nM, respectively. The $V_{max}$ was little affected by AP, FO, or SA, but the [$^3H$]5-HT uptake $K_m$ value was moderately increased by FO. However, the platelet 5-HT content was moderately decreased by all of the 5-HT uptake inhibitors used in this study. These results seem to be consistent with the allosterical and competitive interaction of 5-HT uptake inhibiting antidepressants with each other as well as 5-HT in the 5-HT transporter binding, and provide no support for the view that the potencies of 5-HT uptake inhibitors to inhibit the [$^3H$]IMI or [$^3H$]PAT binding with 5-HT transporter complex correlate with their antidepressant potencies.

Chamaecyparis obtusa is one of the economical conifers planted in Korea due to its good quality timber and wood characteristics. Individuals of C. obtusa containing high terpenes (HT) and low terpenes (LT) were selected for by colorimetric method. The HT of C. obtusa was delayed in wilting against various abiotic stresses compared to the LT plants. The HT group exposed to UV did not significant influence the chlorophyll content, and the chlorophyll value was higher in the HT group than the LT group. Also, chilling treatment (5℃) did not significant influence on the chlorophyll content. However treatment at -4℃ showed relatively low chlorophyll content in the LT group than the HT group. Plants exposure to high temperature was not a difference between the HT and the LT group. However, treatment at 38℃ influenced the chlorophyll content that was increased exposure time-dependently. In salt treatments, chlorophyll in the HT group was lower at high concentrations (300 and 500 mM) of NaCl. However, chlorophyll content increased to slightly in treatment time-dependently, which is 6.7% to 40%. H2O2 treatment has been a negative effect on the chlorophyll content in the HT group. All concentration of H2O2 decreased the chlorophyll content of 5% to 35%. Plants containing high terpenoids were resisted against some abiotic stress such as salt and H2O2. Our results implied that terpenoids could cause various abiotic stress resistance. These results could be utilized for efficient management and biomass production during forest silvicultures.

The next generation nuclear power reactor will use Pb-Bi as the cooling material. The steel structure materials such as HT-9 used in the reactor suffer from corrosion when they are exposed to high temperature Pb-Bi. Therefore corrosion should be prevented to use Pb-Bi as the coolant material without any safety problem. One method is to control the oxygen content in Pb-Bi. An appropriate amount of oxygen in Pb-Bi can produce a thin oxide layer on steel, and this layer protects the steel from corrosion attack. Since the required oxygen content in Pb-Bi is in the range of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-7}$ wt%, this small oxygen content can be controlled by flowing a mixture of hydrogen gas and water vapor. The stagnant corrosion test of HT-9 samples was performed by controlling the oxygen content up to 2,000 hours. The corrosion behavior of HT-9 was analyzed at the temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$ with a reduced condition and a oxygen content of $10^{-6}$ wt%.

The quality characteristics of cookies between fresh shredded garlic(FSG) and heat-treated($150^{\circ}C$, 5 min) shredded garlic (HT-SG) were comparatively analyzed based on different content additions. The levels investigated were 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6% for both shredded garlics. Dough pH was lower in the FSG-added cookies than in the HT-SG-added cookies. The spread factor decreased with the addition of shredded garlic compared to the control($10.63{\pm}0.57$), but differences were insignificant within each group. Cookies hardness was highest at 2% garlic content, and it was higher for HT-SG than FSG. Compared to the measured L-value of the control, the L-values of the test samples decreased with increasing garlic contents. With increasing garlic contents, the a-value increased, but the b-value remained mostly unchanged, with less significant difference compared to the control. The color of the HT-SG group tended to be brown as the garlic content increased. The degree of browning was more pronounced for HT-SG than FSG. Surface cracking of the cookies tended to be higher in the FSG samples than in HT-SG. Compared to the control, garlic taste and flavor increased remarkably with increasing garlic content, and they were stronger for the FSG cookies. The overall acceptability of HT-SG was relatively high, and it was highest for the HT-SG cookies with a 0.5~2% garlic contents than for the control cookies.

This study was conducted to analyze the application of boron compounds, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and heat treatment (HT) on changes in the density, moisture content, and flexural properties of samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood. Samama wood was impregnated with borax (BX) and boric acid (BA) using a pressure method at 5 atm for 4 h. Afterwards, the wood was impregnated with MMA at the same pressure and duration. Finally, the samama wood was given HT at 90 ℃ and 180 ℃. The results indicate that there was a weight gain of 93.4% in the wood impregnated using BA and MMA monomer and HT at 90 ℃. Consequently, the wood's density increased by 82.3%. Increased MOE and MOR percentages of 32.2% and 29.4%, respectively, were also found. HT at 180 ℃ degraded the wood components and MMA, and consequently, the density, MOE, and MOR also decreased. The wood impregnated by BX, BA, and MMA, and subjected to HT also had decreased moisture content (MC). This research recommends that the application of boron (BX, BA) should be combined with an MMA monomer and HT at 90 ℃ as an alternative method to improve samama wood quality. If darker color is preferable, HT should be conducted at 180 ℃.

Two-way shuttle box에서 active conditioned response (ACR)을 10일간 매일 30회 부하하여 10회 이상 반응한 웅성 Wistar 백서를 이용하여, 경련성 전기충격 (ECS: 50 mA, 100 Hz, 1.5 sec)에 의한 ACR-유지의 변동에 미치는 CDP-choline (250 mg/kg/day/CC), aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg/day: AG), ${\alpha}-difluoromethylornithine$ (250 mg/kg/day, DO), 및 spermine (10/mg/kg/day: SM) 각각의 10일간 복강내-주사의 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 10일간 획득된 ACR은 그 다음 10일후에 더욱 증가되었으며, 이는 일일 간격의 5회 ECS (5-ECS) 또는 ACR-유지검사 3시간전 일회 ECS (ECS-3h)로 현저히 억제되나, ACR-유지검사 24시간전의 일회 ECS (ECS-24h)로는 별 영향을 받지 않았다. 아울러, ACR의 자연증가현상은 CC와 SM에 의하여 현저히 저하되었으나 AG와 DFMO에 의하여는 영향을 받지 않았다. 5-ECS에 의한 ACR-유지저해는 AG, SM, 및 CC에 의하여 유의하게 되었으며 DFMO에 의하여는 영향을 받지 않았다. ECS-3h 후의 ACR-유지저해는 SM와 AG에 의하여 다소 더 악화되었고 CC와 DFMO에 의하여는 별 영향을 받지 않았는데, 정상 백서에 비하여 큰 차를 보이지 않은 ECS-24h 후의 ACR은 CC, SM, DO, 및 AG에 의하여도 영향을 받지 않았다. 한편, ECS-3h와 ECS-24는 백서-대뇌 시상하부(HT), 해마(HC), 및 내후피질(EC)의 acetylcholine (ACh) 함량에 별 영향을 미치지 않았으나, $5{\times}ECS$는 다소 증가시켰으며 특히 EC의 ACh증가는 유의하였다. 아울러 CC과 SM도 대뇌-ACh 함량을 유의하게 증가시켰으나, DO와 AG는 별 영향을 미치지 않았다. ECS-3h와 ECS-24h는 대뇌 HT, HC, 및 EC의 polyamine 함량에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, $5{\times}ECS$는 HT와 HC의 putrescine (Pt) 함량과 HC의 spermine (Sm) 함량을 각각 유의하게 감소시켰다. CC는 PT함량에 영향을 미치지 않았으나 spermidine (Sd)와 Sm 함량은 현저히 증가시켰다. 그러나 이같은 CC의 작용을 ECS-3 시간후와 24시간후에는 전혀 볼 수 없었을 뿐 아니라, ECS-3 시간후의 HC의 Sd 함량은 정상치보다 유의한 감소로 역전되었다. 또한 CC는 $5{\times}ECS$에 의한 Pt와 Sm 함량-감소를 유의하게 억제하였다. SM은 전 부위의 Sd 함량과 EC의 Sm 함량을 유의하게 증가시켰고, 이같은 증가가 ECS-3 시간후에 더욱 상승되었으며, 이때 HC와 EC의 Pt함량도 유의하게 증가되었다. 또한 SM은 $5{\times}ECS$에 의해 Pt와 Sm 함량-감소를 유의하게 억제하였다. 그러나 DO는 HC의 Sd와 모든 부위의 Sm 함량을 유의하게 감소시켰고 또한 Pt와 Sm에 대한 $5{\times}ECS$의 감소작용을 더 상승시켰다. AG는 모든 부위의 Pt 함량을 현저히 증가시켰을 뿐 아니라 HT의 Sd와 모든 부위의 Sm도 유의하게 증가시켰고, $5{\times}ECS$에 의한 Pt와 Sm 함량-감소를 유의하게 억제하였다. 이상의 성적은 $5{\times}ECS$로 나타나는 ACR의 유지-저해에 대한 aminoguanidine의 보호작용의 일부가 polyamine 대사에 대한 그의 diamine oxidase 억제작용에 기인됨을 시사하는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐 태아 뇌간의 일차 세포배양을 이용하여 중추 serotonin(5-HT) 신경세포의 연구에 적합한 in vitro 모델을 확립하고, 여기에서 5-HT 대사의 전반적인 과정을 살펴보고자 하였다. 배양세포의 5-HT 및 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA)함량을 high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC)방법 으로 측정함으로써 흰쥐태아(태령 14-15일)뇌간으로 부터 얻은 5-HT 신경세포가 배양상에서 2주까지 발달함을 추적할 수 있었고 아울러 이들 세포에서 5-HT의 합성, 저장, 대사의 각 과정을 몇가지 약물들을 이용하여 확인하였다. 배양 14일에 5-HT의 함량이 13ng/mg protein으로서 성숙한 흰쥐 뇌속에 존재하는 5-HT의 값과 유사하였다. 5-HT 합성의 속도조절효소인 tryptophan hydroxylase(TPH)의 상경적 억제제인 p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)처리시 aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC)억제제인 3-hydroxybenzylhydrazine NSD 1015보다 5-HT 및 5-HIAA 함량을 더 많이 감소시켰다. TPH의 기질인 tryptophan은 5-HT의 합성을 현저히 (200%) 증가시켰으며 이 증가는 PCPA로 상당히 둔화되었다. 5-HIAA의 변화도 유사한 양상을 보였다. 5-hydroxytryptophan처리시 5-HT 및 5-HIAA 함량이 현저히 증가하였으며 이 증가는 NSD 1015로 거의 차단되었다. 5-HT 대사 경로인 monoamine oxidase (MAO)의 비특이적 억제제인 pargyline과 MAO A의 특이적 억제제인 LY-51641을 처리한 결과 5-HT 함량은 각각 대조군의 295% 및 140%로 증가하여 pargyline이 LY-51641보다 현저한 작용을 나타내었다. 그러나 5-HIAA의 함량은 반대로 현저히 감소하여 pargyline 및 LY-51641에 의해서 각각 대조군의 50% 및 40%의 함량을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 5-HT 신경세포는 일차 세포배양상에서 활발한 5-HT대사가 이루어짐을 HPLC-EC 방법으로 확인할 수 있었으며 따라서 본 in vitro system은 중추 5-HT 신경세포에 대한 전반적인 약리 및 독성 연구에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

To investigate the composition of carotenoids present in marine organisms and the biological activity of the carotenoids, carotenoids of the muscles and tunic of tunicates and shellfishes were isolated and identified. Anitmutagenic activities of the carotenoids for S. typhimurium TA 98 and cytotoxic activity for cancer cell lines were determined. Total carotenoid contents in the muscle of tunicata ranged from 18.65 mg% to 2.39 mg%. The highest amount of the total carotenoid was found in the muscle of Halocynthia aurantium, followed by Styela clava (HERDMAN), H. roretzi, H. hilgendorfi f. igaboya, H. hilgendorfi f. retteri, S. plicata (LESUEUR) in order. Interestingly, total carotenoid content in the muscle of S. clava (HERDAMAN) was higher than that of H. roretzi. Total carotenoid content of all tunicata, other than H. aurantium and H. roretzi, were higher in muscle than tunic. The major carotenoids in H. roretzi, H. aurantium, S. plicata (LESUEUR), and S. clava (HERDAMAN) were cynthiaxanthin (25.1∼42.2%), halocynthiaxanthin (9.7∼26.3%), diatoxanthin (8.0∼18.7%) and β-carotene (7.7%∼21.7%). Similarly, cantaxanthin (19.6%), cynthiaxanthin (15.4%), halocynthiaxanthin (14.8%), and (3R, 3'R), (3S, 3'S)-astaxanthin (22.6%) in H. hilgendorfi f. retteri and fucoxanthin (26.6%), cynthiaxanthin (21.8%), halocynthiaxanthin (15.2%), and β-carotene (9.3%) in H. hilgendorfi f. igaboya were major carotenoids in both tunicate. However, the composition of carotenoids in muscle and tunic of tunicata was similar each other. Among the shellfishes examined, total carotenoid content of the muscle of Peronidia venulosa (Schrenck) and Corbicula fluminea, and of the gonad of Atrina pinnata and Chlamys farreri, was ranged from 2.51 to 6.83 mg% which were relatively higher than that of other shellfishes. The composition of the carotenoids of shellfishes, which might depend upon their living environments, was varied. But cynthiaxanthin (15.9∼39.0%) and zeaxanthin (9.6∼21.9%) in gonad of C. farreri, and muscles of Buccinum Volutharpa perryi (JAY) and Crassostrea gigas, cynthiaxanthin (21.5∼48.6%) and mytiloxanthin (14.6%) in muscle of C.fluminea and gonad of A. pinnata, and canthaxanthin (60.6%) and isozeaxanthin (20.5%) in muscles of P. venulosa (Schrenck), and β-carotene (23.7%∼37.8%) and zeaxanthin (18.2∼20.4) in muscles of Semisulcospira libertina and Meretrix lusoria were major carotenoids. Interestingly, diester type-carotenoids were present along with free type-carotenoids in muscles of C. gigas. antimutagenic effect of the carotenoids isolated from tunicata and shellfishes against 2-amino-3-methylimidazol [4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) for S. typhimurium TA 98 was proportional to the amount (20, 50 and 100㎍/plate) treated. Mutagenicity of IQ was significantly reduced by astaxanthin, isozeaxanthin, mytiloxanthin and halocynthiaxanthin, whereas the mutagenicity of aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁) was significantly reduced by β-carotene, isozeaxanthin, and mytiloxnthin. Growth inhibition effect of carotenoids isolated from tunicata and shellfishes for cancer cell was proportional to the amount (5, 10, and 20㎍/plate) treated. The growth of HeLa cell by β-carotene, cynthiaxanthin, astaxanthin and halocynthiaxanthin, NCI-H87 cell by β-carotene, astaxanthin, cynthiaxanthin, and halocynthiaxanthin, HT-29 cell by β-carotene, cynthiaxanthin, mytiloxanthin and halocynthiaxanthin, and MG-63 cells by β-carotene, cynthiaxanthin, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and halocynthiaxanthin were statistically reduced.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 소비되는 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 일반성분과 중금속 함량을 비교 분석하였고 생리활성을 비교하기 위하여 참돔을 용매의 극성에 따라 추출하여 항산화 및 세포독성 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 수입산과 비교했을 때 국내산 참돔은 높은 함량의 수분과 낮은 함량의 조지방, 조단백질 및 회분을 나타내었다. 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 중금속 함량을 비교한 결과 원산지에 따른 유의적 차이를 보였으며 국내산 참돔의 수은 함량은 0.08 mg/kg으로 수입산 참돔보다 높은 함량을 나타내었으나 납의 경우 원산지에 따른 유의적 차이는 보이지 않았다. 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물을 인체 섬유육종세포(HT-1080)에 처리하였을 때, 세포 내 활성산소종 생성 저해효과를 살펴 본 실험 결과, 국내산 및 수입산 참돔 추출물들에 의한 활성산소종 생성 억제효과를 비교해 보면 수입산 참돔 추출물에 의한 저해효과가 높았으며 두 추출물들 중 MeOH 추출물에 의한 저해효과가 높았음을 알 수 있었다. 인체 암세포들(AGS 및 HT-29)들에 대한 세포독성 활성 결과에서 AGS 암세포의 경우 국내산 참돔 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물들에 의한 세포독성 효과가 수입산 참돔A+M 추출물들보다 높았다. HT-29 암세포에 대해서는 국내산 참돔A+M 추출물에 의한 세포독성 효과가 수입산 참돔 A+M 추출물에 의한 것보다 높았고 MeOH 추출물에 의한 세포독성 효과는 유사했다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 기초자료로 하여 향후 참돔의 다양한 생리활성 규명이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Extracorporeal circulation by hemodilution technique has been currently used with its clinical safety and good peripheral tissue perfusion in open heart surgery. There is no doubt that $O_{2}$ carrying capacity of the blood is disturbed by decreased hemoglobin level resulting from hemodilution of the circulating blood. From the view point of the blood gas exchange, these experimental studies were undertaken to determined the sate limit of hemodilution in the condition of cardiopulmonary bypass with a constant perfusion flow rate. Twelve adult mongrel dogs weighing 10 to 13 Kg. were anesthetized with pentobarbital and then respiration was controlled with Harvard volume respirator using room air. The cardiopulmonary by pass was performed by use of Sarns heart lung machine (console 5000, 5 head and 2 roller pumps) and Travenol pediatric bubble oxygenator. The perfusion rate during bypass was maintained at a constant rate of 80 ml/min/Kg of body weight. The ratio of oxygen gas flow to blood flow was kept in 3 to 1 constantly. International hemodilution was attained by serial blood withdrawals and immediate infusion of equal volumes of diluants composed of Ringer's lactate, 5% dextrose in water and 25% mannitol solution, proportionally 60%, 30%, and 10%. Arterial and venous blood samples were obtained between 15 and 20 minutes following each hemodilution. Hematocrits and hemoglobin values, $PO_{2}$, $PCO_{2}$ and pH were measured. Oxygen and carbon dioxide contents oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide elimination were calculated groups according to different hematocrit values and the correlations were evaluated. Result were as follows. 1. the arterial $O_{2}$ tension and $O_{2}$ saturation were maintained at the physiological level irrespective of the hematocrit value. 2. The venous $O_{2}$ tension and $O_{2}$ saturation showed a tendency to decline with the decrease in hematocrit value and positive correlation between them (r = +0.49, r = +0.76), The mean values of venous $O_{2}$ tension and $O_{2}$ saturation, however, were not decreased when the hematocrit levels were lower than 20%. 3. The arterial $O_{2}$ content declined lineally in proportion to the fall of hematocrit level with a positive correlation between them (r = +0.95). 4. The venous $O_{2}$ contents were decreased gradually as the hematocrit value decreased with positive correlation between them ( r =+0.89). The trend of diminution of venous $O_{2}$ content, however, was became low according to progressive decrease of hematocrit level. 5. Systemic oxygen consumption was in higher range than $O_{2}$ requirement of basal metabolism when the hematocrit value was above 20%, but abruptly decreased when the hematocrit value became to below 20%. 6. The arterial $CO_{2}$ tension and $CO_{2}$ content showed trend of increasing with progressive decrease of hematocrit value but exhibited a rather broad range and there was no relationship between those value and the hematocrit value. 7. The venous $CO_{2}$ tension and $CO_{2}$ content have also no correlation with change of Ht. value but related directly to those value of arterial blood with positive correlation between them (r = +0.78, r = +0.95_. 8. A-V difference of $CO_{2}$ content and $CO_{2}$ elimination wasnot significantly influenced by Ht. value. From the results, we obtained that feasible limit in inteneional hemodilution is above the hematocrit value of 20% under the given experimental condition.
