Transesterification reactions were carried out with myo-inositol and five fatty acid methyl esters such as methyl laurate, methyl myristate, methyl palmitate, methyl stearate and methyl oleate in the dimethylsulfoxide solvent. Their products were separated by both thin layer chromatography and column chromatography, and myo-inositol monoesters were quantitatively separated by counter current distribution. We measured their surface tension, foaming power and emulsifying power, determined critical micelle concentrations by the color method, and evaluated their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. The results show that myo-inositol monoesters exhibit surface activites.

We report highly sensitive detection of myocardial infarction biomarkers, such as myoglobin and cTnI, within several hundred seconds using a rotating-analyzer ellipsometer and a biosensor with biochips fabricated on a $SiO_2$-coated tilted silicon substrate. We choose the running buffer to be pure phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or 10% mixed human serum. When we choose the running buffer to be pure PBS, we obtain diagnostic densities of pure myocardial infarction biomarkers of up to 1 ng/ml and 5 pg/ml respectively. Meanwhile, when we use PBS with 10% human serum, the measured densities of myoglobin and cTnI were up to 1 ng/mL and 1 pg/mL respectively. The measured diagnostic densities are less than 1/15 and 1/80 (in cases of myoglobin and cTnI respectively) of those referenced by the World Health Organization.

The stability difference of metmyoglobin in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ at pH 5.7 and pH 7.0 toward pressure denaturation is studied. Metmyoglobin is denatured in $D_2O$ at smaller pressure than in $H_2O$. The stability difference in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ is more pronounced at pH 5.7 than at pH 7. The main reasons for the stability difference in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$are the difference in positive charge due to $H^+$and $D^+$ binding to the protein in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$, and the structural change that accompany deuteration.

In this study we review the representations used for emphasizing the significance and requirement of mathematics in Chinese and Korean mathematics text(算學書). Especially, we study four terms; first 六藝之一(육예지일, one of the six arts), second 伏義(복희, Fuxi) 周公(주공, Zhougong) 孔子(공자, Kongzi) 孔門(공문, Kongmen), third 道(도, dao) (색, ze) 微奧(미오, weiai) 精微(정미, jingwei), forth 經世之實用(경세지실용, usefulness in the real life). Through these representations that can be seen in the many mathematics text, we consider the author's efforts to improve the mathematics.

급성 심근경색 진단용 DNA 컴퓨팅 시스템 모듈로서, 트로포닌 I (troponin I, Tnl). 트로포닌 T (troponin T, TnT). 미오글로빈 (myoglobin), C-반응 단백질 (C-reactive protein, CRP) 과 각각 결합할 수 있는 네 가지 종류의 앱타머틀 선정하고, 이의 개발을 시도하여, 그 중 첫 번째로 C-반응 단백질-결합 앱타머를 SELEX 기법을 이용하여 선별해내었다. 또한, 선별된 앱타머 염기서열에 기초하여 각각 10-mer 길이의 FDNA 와 QDNA 를 제작하고, 표적 단백질 (CRP) 과 혼합시켜 형광발현 변화의 추이를 살펴보았다. 앱타머 및 FDNA. QDNA 가 결합할 경우에는 형광감쇄효과가 발생하므로, 형광감쇄효과가 일어나지 않은 경우에 비하여 현저하게 형광측정값이 저조하게 나타나는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 연구로, 나머지 세 가지 종류의 앱타머를 SELEX기법을 이용하여 선별해내고. 기확보된 C-반응 단백질-결합 앱타머 모듈과 함께 논리회로를 구성하는 DNA 컴퓨팅 칩을 제작할 예정이다.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activities of 70% ethanol extracts from different parts (root, stem, and leaf) of Epimedium koreanum Nakai. Ethanol extracts from the three parts of Epimedium koreanum Nakai were assessed for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, myoglobin protective ratio, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Root part showed the highest total phenolic content ($2.468{\pm}0.017mg$ chlorogenic acid equivalent/g) and total flavonoid content ($2.071{\pm}0.002mg$ quercetin equivalent/g). Leaf part showed the strongest radical scavenging activities (DPPH radical; 80%, myoglobin protective ratio; 90% and FRAP; 98.7% at 20 mg/mL). Root part showed the highest ABTS radical scavenging at 1 mg/mL. Therefore, the results of the antioxidant activity test were correlated with total phenolic and flavonoid content values. Thus, Epimedium koreanum Nakai has great potential as a natural source for human health.

Purpose : Acute renal failure (ARF) is an important complication of rhabdomyolysis. The purpose of this study was to identify the major causes of rhabdomyolysis in children and to identify the factors associated with the developmet of ARF. Methods : A retrospective chart review between January 1997 to June 2005 was conducted of 60 patients with a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis was defined by an elevation of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) greater than 1,000 IU/L with a MM fraction more than 95% or serum myoglobin>300 mg/dL or positive urine myoglobin. Patients were excluded if they had evidence of myocardial ischemia, or cerebrovascular insufficiency. Results : Sixty patients (37 males, 23 females) were enrolled, with the median age of 4.25 year. The most common causes of rhabdomyolysis were repiratory tract infection (9), seizure (7), hypoxia or asphyxia (6). Fifteen patients (25.0%) developed ARF and ten of them (66.0%) died. The initial serum creatinine, uric acid, potassium, pH and peak serum creatinine, initial systolic blood pressure, and mental status were statistically correlated with the development of ARF. The peak serum CK was associated with mortality of rhabdomyolysis. Conclusion : Acute renal failure was significant complication of rhabdomyolysis in children. Several clinical and laboratory factors were statistically associated with the development of ARF and death.

The reverse detection heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, HMQC study of metcyano complex of horse myoglobin(MbCN) has provided the complete assignment of hyperfine shifted resonances of heme carbons attached with proton(s). The application of HMQC experiment to the paramagnetic low-spin MbCN gives clear $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ coherences for the paramagnetic amino acid residues as well as heme side chains, and can be extended to the low-spin paramagnetic hemoprotein derivative for the assignment of natural abundance $^{13}C$ resonances. This assignment strategy can avoid possible ambiguities that may result from the sole utilization of $^1H$ nuclear Overhauser effect for the assignment of heme $^1H$ signals resonating in the diamagnetic region. The resulting 2,4-vinyl ${\alpha}$-carbons and 7-propionate ${\beta}$-carbon follow anomalous anti-Curie behavior, and are indicative of incoplanarity with heme plane. Magnetic/electronic asymmetry of heme induced by proximal histidine(His) makes spread that the hyperfine shifted heme carbon resonances over the range of 250 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$. These heme carbon resonances would be the much more sensitive probe than those of proton resonances in analyzing the nature of heme electronic structure of myoglobin.
