  • 인간의 집중도 변화를 평가하기 위하여 피험자에게 암산과제를 부가하고 뇌파신호를 전두엽(Fpl, Fp2)으로부터 측정하였다. alpha band의 최대 peak 주파수 변화를 compressed spectral array를 사용하여 관찰하고 theta(3.5-7 Hz), alpha(7.5-13.0 Hz), beta(13.5-20 Hz) band 전력을 정규화하여 분포를 구했다. 평가결과, 집중도가 높아짐에 따라 alpha band의 최대 peak 주파수는 낮은 주파수 대에서 높은 주파수대로 이동하고, slow alpha band의 전력은 감소, fast alpha band의 전력은 증가하였다. 또한 뇌파신호의 각 band 전력의 분포는 theta band는 증가, alpha band는 감소하였다.

  • In the present paper, we nd the conditions to characterize projective change between two (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=\frac{{\alpha}^2}{{\alpha}-{\beta}}$ and Randers metric $\bar{L}=\bar{\alpha}+\bar{\beta}$ on a manifold with dim $n$ > 2, where ${\alpha}$ and $\bar{\alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, ${\beta}$ and $\bar{\beta}$ are two non-zero 1-formas.

  • P, P'-Hexachiorobitolyl, p, p-hexachlorobitolylketone and p, p' hexachlorobitolylthiourea were synthesized by the radical chlorination method of Hass and McBeer. Among these comppounds, l wormicidal activity of p.p'-hexachlorobitolythiourea was much most potent against Clonorchis sinensis than Hetol in vitro. In the process of the p, p'-biolyl chlorination, ${\alpha, \alpha, \alpha}$-trichlorobitolyl was not detected, but small amount of ${\alpha, \alpha, \alpha}$-dichlorobitolyl was detected. This compound was immediately converted bitolyl compounds were analyzed, linear relationship was observed between retention indices and number of chlorine in two series of odd and even numbered chlorine compounds.

  • Recently. 4'${\alpha}$-C homologated furanose nucleosides. especially alkyl branches. are molecules of considerable current interest. One of reasons for this prominence arises from the notable biological activities as antiviral and antitumor agents. as shown in 4'${\alpha}$-C-methyl-2-deoxythymidine (EC$_{50}$ = 7.2$\mu$M against HIV in MT-4 cell), 4'${\alpha}$-C-fluoromethyl-2-deoxycytidine. 4'${\alpha}$-C-hydroxymethylthymidine and 4'${\alpha}$- -C-azidomethyl-thymidine.

  • Background : The importance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially tumor necrosis factor $\alpha$ (INF-$\alpha$) and interleukin-1$\beta$ (IL-1$\beta$), have been extensively documented in the generation of inflammatory lung disease. Lung epithelial cells are also actively involved in initiating and maintaining inflammation by producing pro-inflammatory mediators. Understanding the mechanism of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in lung epithelial cells is crucial to the development of new therapeutic modalities for inflammatory lung disease. Transcription of most pro-inflammatory cytokines is dependent on the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$. However, the relationship between pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and NF-${\kappa}B/I{\kappa}B$ pathway in lung epithelial cells is not clear. Methods : BEAS-2B, A549, Na-H157, NCI-H719 cells were stimulated with IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$ at various times, and then IL-8 and TNF-$\alpha$mRNA expressions were assayed by Northern blot analysis. IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$-induced NF-${\kappa}B$ activation was assessed by the nuclear translocation of p65 NF-${\kappa}B$ subunit. The degradation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and $I{\kappa}B{\beta}$ by IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$stimulation was assayed by Western blot analysis. The phosphorylation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ was evaluated by Western blot analysis after pre-treating cells with proteasome inhibitor followed by IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$ stimulation. The basal level of IKK $\alpha$ expression was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results: $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ was rapidly degraded after 5 minutes of incubation with IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$ in BEAS-2B, A549, and NCI-H157 cells. The activation of NF-${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and the induction of IL-8 and TNF-$\alpha$ mRNA expression were observed by IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$ stimulation in these cells. In contrast, neither the changes in NF-${\kappa}B/I{\kappa}B$ pathway nor IL-8 and TNF-$\alpha$mRNA expression was induced by IL-$1{\beta}$ or TNF-$\alpha$ stimulation in NCI-H719 cells. IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-$\alpha$-induced $I{\kappa}B$ phosphorylation was observed in BEAS-2B, A549, and NCI-H157 cells, but not in NCI-H719 cells. The basal level of IKK$\alpha$ expression was not different between cell. Conclusion : NF-${\kappa}B/I{\kappa}B$ pathway plays an important role in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine in most lung epithelial cells. The absence of the effect on NF-${\kappa}B/I{\kappa}B$ pathway in NCI-H719 cells sæms to be due to the defect in the intracellular signal transduction pathway upstream to IKK.

  • This study investigated the inhibitory activities of 2-hydroxyquinoline and its analogs against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. Based on the $IC_{50}$ values of 2-hydroxyquinoline analogs tested against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase, 2-hydroxyquinoline had potent inhibitory activity (64.4 and $130.5{\mu}g/mL$, respectively), while 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline showed weakly inhibitory activity (90.7 and $215.4{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). 2-Methylquinoline demonstrated no activity against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. In conclusion, 2-hydroxyquinoline analogs, with the existence of a methyl group and hydroxyl on quinoline, can be useful as a new diabetes treatment.

  • The subclasses S*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) and C*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) ($0\leqq\alpha<1,\;0<\beta\leqq1$ and $0\leqq\mu\leqq1$) of T the class of analytic and univalent functions of the form $$f(z)=z-\sum\limit^{\infty}_{n=2}\mid a_n\mid z^n$$ have been considered. Sharp results concerning coefficients, distortion of functions belonging to S*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) and C*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) are determined along with a representation formula for the functions in S*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$). Furthermore, it is shown that the classes S*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) and C*($\alpha,\beta,\mu$) are closed under arithmetic mean and convex linear combinations. Also in this paper, we find extreme points and support points for these classes.
