This study was conducted on elderly women in their 60s and 70s, and the results of the study were as follows when line dancing for 60 minuctes every three times a week for 12 weeks on dementia and aging-related hormones. After 12 weeks of line dancing programs, BDNF, DHEA-s, and estrogen increased, but no statistically significant differences with control groups emerged. In addition, after 12 weeks of line dancing, Apolipoprotein B decreased in line dancing group but showed no statistically significant difference from control group. Although significant differences between groups were not identified in the results of this study, positive effects on preventing and aging of dementia were identified in the group applying the line dance program, and further studies considering the new target and hign kinetic strength, frequency, time, and athletic genre are needed to identify the distinct effects of line dancing in the future.

This research was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts from omija against the 12 icroorganism including bacteria, yeast and mold. The extracts inhibited the growth of bacteria, but not yeast or mold. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of B. subtilis and S. aureus was 1.6~3.2 mg/mL, and those of gram(-) bacteria, including E. coli, were 6.3~12.5 mg/mL. Growth of B. subtilis and S. aureus were retarded by adding 900 ppm and 300 ppm of ethanol extracts. Anthimicrobial activity of the ethanol extracts was not destroyed by heating. In comparison of endocarps extracts with the ethanol from the seed extracts, the ethanol extracts of endocarps showed the high antimicrobial activity.

In the present study, we demonstrate that ephrin-A5 is able to induce a transient increase of MAP kinase activity in PC12 cells. However, the effects of ephrin-A5 on the MAP kinase signaling pathway are about three-fold less than that of EGF. In addition, we demonstrate that EphA4 is the only Eph member expressed in PC12 cells, and that tyrosine phosphorylation induced by ephrin-A5 treatment is consistent with the magnitude and longevity of MAP kinase activation. Experiments using the Ras dominant negative mutant N17Ras reveal that Ras plays a pivotal role in ephrin-A5-induced MAP kinase activation in PC12 cells. Importantly, we found that the EphA4 receptor is rapidly internalized by endocytosis upon engagement of ephrin-A5, leading to a subsequent reduction in the MAP kinase activation. Together, these data suggest a novel regulatory mechanism of differential Ras-MAP kinase signaling kineticsexhibited by the forward signaling of EphA4 in PC12 cells.

A graph is $s$-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its $s$-arcs. In this paper, the cubic $s$-regular graphs of order 12p, 36p, 44p, 52p, 66p, 68p and 76p are classified for each $s{\geq}1$ and each prime $p$. The number of cubic $s$-regular graphs of order 12p, 36p, 44p, 52p, 66p, 68p and 76p is 4, 3, 7, 8, 1, 4 and 1, respectively. As a partial result, we determine all cubic $s$-regular graphs of order 70p except for $p$ = 31, 41.

Yellow-emitting $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$:Ce nanocrystalline phosphor and orange-emitting CdS:Mn/ZnS core/shell quantum dots were prepared by a modified polyol and a reverse micelle chemistry, respectively. To compensate a poor color rendering index of YAG:Ce nanocrystalline phosphor due to the lack of red spectral component, CdS:Mn/ZnS quantum dots were blended into YAG:Ce. Based on spectral evolutions in the blended systems, hybrid white light emitting diodes are fabricated and characterized.

Piezoelectric Buzzer which has been generally used requires about 30kV/cm poling process and has the aging effects. In this study, 0.85 PZN - 0.10 BT - 0.05 PT system ceramics with additives of 0 - 2 wt% YS12TOS13T were fabricated and investigated on electromechanical coupling coefficient(kS1pT), electric field induced charge coefficient(dS131T), and sound level. As the results, in the 0.4 wt% YS12TOS13T added composition ceramics compared with the basic, kS1pT was increased from 0.355 to 0.39 and induced piezoelectric d constant increased from 204 to 220 x 10S0-12T (C/N) and sound level of electrostrictive Buzzer has the highest value of 71.5 dB under 8kV/cm bias electric field.

The glasses were prpared in the system CuI-CuS12TS-CuS12TO-MoOS13T by rapid quenching technique. These glasses have high ionic conductivities at 2$0^{\circ}C$ in the range of 10S0-1T[S/m], and the conductivities increase with increasing CuI and CuS12TS content. The value of activation energy for dielectric relaxation is nearly identical with that for conductivity. The cole-Cole parameter $\beta$ for representation of the distribution of dielectric relaxation times varies the range from 0.92 to 0.96. This parameter has a weak dependence on the composition of glass, and is independent of temperature. The correlation factors P for the glasses shows from 1.1 to 1.7.

The objective of this study was to detect three non-halal meat products consisted of dog, pork, and rat species in meatball using novel multiplex-PCR with 12S rRNA gene as target sites. A total of 33 self-made meatballs were used, and they were grouped into eleven types of meatball based on meat species origin contained in the meatballs. Each type consisted of three meatballs. Extraction of genomic DNA from the meatballs was used as a DNA template for simplex-, duplex-, and multiplex-PCR processes. The result of simplex-PCR, duplex-PCR, and multiplex-PCR showed that the 12S rRNA primer gene successfully amplified DNA for each species bovine, dog, pig, and rat, which are respectively indicated by 155, 244, 357, and 491 bp of DNA bands. In addition, multiplex-PCR with 12S rRNA gene primers can be uniquely and accurately used for detection bovine, dog, pig, and rat species on beef meatball in one reaction.

Cell size, DNA content, chromosome and PCR-based mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene analyses were conducted to obtain basic informations for genetic stock identification of spotted flounder (Verasper variegatus) from Yeocheun, Korea. The mean erythrocytic and nuclear volumes of spotted flounder were $211.10{\mu}m^3$ and $23.03{\mu}m^3$, respectively. The haploid DNA content of this species was 0.79 pg/cell which correspond to $46.5\%$ of carp and to $22.6\%$ of mammals. Spotted flounder had the 2n = 46 acrocentric chromosomes but no heteromorphic sex chromosomes was found. Mitochondrial DNA gene for 12S ribosomal RNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the PCR products were subjected to digestion with 15 restriction endonucleases. Restriction enzyme analyses revealed that Ava I, Mae II, Sma I and Xba I had one restriction site in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene segment of spotted flounder, while Mae I had two. Segments of 12S rRNA gene from mitochondria in spotted flounder were sequenced and compared with channel catfish and human as controls. The 12S rRNA gene of this species was more similar to that of channel catfish than to human's.

In order to obtain a clue in understanding enzymatic hydrolysis in which the His-Cys moieties of papain protease is involved, we prepared cationic peptide-sufactants bearing histidyl, cysteinyl, and both histydyl and cysteinyl residues. Their catalytic efficiency toward the hydrolysis of PNPL were investigated in comicellar phases formed with $N^{+}C_{2}CysC_{12}$, $N^{+}C_{2}HisC_{12}$, $N^{+}C_{2}HisCysC_{12}$ increased markedly in the same order compared with that of $N^{+}C_{2}AlaC_{12}$. The markedly increased catalytic effects are attributed to the imidazole groups of $N^{+}C_{2}HisC_{12}$ and the thiol groups of $N^{+}C_{2}CysC_{12}$, and the large catalytic efficiency of $N^{+}C_{2}HisCysC_{12}$, is considered due to the interaction of the imidazole and the thiol groups. In order to investigate catalytic activities, rate constants for the functional groups, km* and dissociation constants, pKa have been determined. The results showed that $k^{\ast}_m$ and pKa of the imidazole groups were $7.91{\times}10^{-4}S^{-1}$ and 6.49, and those of the thiol groups were $6.00{\times}10^{-4}S^{-1}$ and 10.50. The catalytic effects of comicellar systems on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl esters has increased according to the increasing size of the alkyl carbon number. Therefore, the catalytic effects have been increasing by the interaction of micellar hydrophobic parts and substrates as well as action of the functional groups.
