The present study was to investigate anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activity of Perillae semen in RBL-2H3 basophilic leukemia cells. Inhibitory effect of Perillae semen onto free radical generation was determined by measuring DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities in vitro. Anti-inflammatory actions of Perillae semen extracts (100, 250, $500\;{\mu}g/mL$) were assessed by testing their effects on the degranulation of mast cells. For this, $\beta$-hexosaminidase released from RBL-2H3 cells was used and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by an ELISA kit. Our results indicated that Perillae semen water extracts effectively inhibited free radical generation. At the concentration of $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ of water extract, the degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells were inhibited by 42.1%. The IgE-antigen complex increased the accumulation of IL-4 and TNF-$\alpha$ secretion in RBL-2H3 cells and treatments with 250 and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ of Perillae semen extracts suppressed the IgE induced secretion of IL-4 and TNF-$\alpha$ protein by 20.5, 26.9% and 14.5, 16.5% respectively. We observed that Perillae semen water extract reduced $\beta$-hexosaminidase, IL-4, and TNF-$\alpha$ secretion in RBL-2H3 cells. These results provide that Perillae semen may be beneficial in the treatment of allergic inflammatory disease.

The ovarian follicles develop initially from primordial follicles. The majority of ovarian primordial follicles are maintained quiescently as a reserve for the reproductive life span. Only a few of them are activated and develop to an advanced follicular stage. The maintenance of dormancy and activation of primordial follicles are controlled by coordinated actions of a suppressor/activator with close communications with somatic cells and intra-oocyte signaling pathways. Many growth factors and signaling pathways have been identified and the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily plays important roles in early folliculogenesis. However, the mechanism of maintaining the dormancy and survival of primordial follicles has remained unknown for decades. Recently, since the first finding that all primordial follicles are activated prematurely in mice deficient forkhead box O3a, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) signaling pathway was reported to be important in the regulation of dormancy and initial follicular activation. With these informations on early folliculogenesis, clinical application can be expected such as in vitro maturation of immature oocytes or in vitro activation of follicles by PTEN inhibitor in cryopreserved ovarian cortical tissues for fertility preservation.

The chemical composition and stabilities of the purified ginseng invertase were investigated. The purified enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein composed of 80.2% protein and 19.7% total sugar. The protein component of the enzyme was composed of acidic amino acid (9.3%), basic amino acid (48.9%), nonpolar amino acid (21.4%), polar amino acid (20.4%) and 6.1% S-containing amino acid. It showed especially high contents of histidine and serine. The enzyme was inactivated almost completely by the treatment with some proteases (papain, pepsin. trypsin, pancreatin and microbial alkaline pretense) and protein denatllrants (8M urea and 6M guanidine-HC1), bolt not with glyrosidase (${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase. glcoamylese and cellullase). btonosaccharides sllch as glilrose, fructose, galactose and mannose did not exert any influence on the enzyme activity. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by Ag+, Mn2+, Hg2+, Zn2+ and Al3+, whereas Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+ and Fe3+ gave rather activating effects on the enzyme activity. The enzyme was relatively stable in the VH range of VH 6 and 8, and at the temperatures below 35$^{\circ}C$.

The crystal structure of metoclopramide, $C_14H_22ClN_3O_2$, has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques using diffractometer data obtained by the ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ scan technique with Mo $K\alpha$ radiation from a crystal with space group symmetry $P{\overline{1}}$ and unit cell parameters a = 7.500(1), b = 8.707(2), c = 13.292(2) ${\AA}$; ${\alpha}$ = 101.70(2), ${\beta}$ = 81.20(2), and ${\gamma}$ = $114.90(l)^{\circ}$. The sructure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to a final R = 0.055 for the 1524 observed reflections. The bent overall-conformation of the molecule seems to be determined mainly by the bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond from the amide nitrogen atom to the methoxy oxygen and the amine nitrogen atoms. The crystal packing consists of the hydrogen bonds, ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction and hydrophobic interaction.

The 6, 6-dibromopenam 6 was treated with $CH_{3}/MgBr$ and carbaldehyde 5 to afford the 6-bromo-6-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl)penicillanate 7, which was reacted with acetic anhybride to give acetoxy compound 8. The deacetobromination of 8 with zinc and acetic acid gave 6-exomethylenpenams, Z-isomer 9 and E-isomer 10, which were oxidized to sulfones 11 and 12 by m-CPBA. The p-methoxybenzyl compounds were deprotected by $AlCl_{3}$ and neutralized to give the sodium salts 13, 14, and 15.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive research study to determine the level of professional autonomy, professional self-concept, and job satisfaction of emergency nurses, and to investigate their correlations and verify the effects of professional autonomy and professional self-concept on job satisfaction. Method: The subjects were 189 emergency nurses with a work experience of 1 year or more, in 14 hospitals located in B and U Metropolitan Cities. The study was conducted from July 20, 2014, to August 30, 2014. The measurement instruments for professional autonomy, professional self-concept, and job satisfaction were used as the measurement tools. The collected data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results: Job satisfaction among emergency nurses showed a significant positive correlation with professional autonomy (r=.28, p <.001), and with professional selfconcept (r=.50, p <.001) with sub-areas of professional practice (r=.79, p <.001), satisfaction (r=.64, p <.001), and communication (r=.25, p <.001). Factors affecting job satisfaction were satisfaction (${\beta}$=0.60, p <.001), followed by low professional autonomy (${\beta}$=-0.24, p <.001) and communication (${\beta}$=0.14, p =.008), which accounted in total for 48.3% of the effect. Conclusion: This study suggests that enhancing professional satisfaction, maintaining proper communication, and securing autonomy are required to improve the job satisfaction among emergency nurses.

The effect of lipoxygenase (LOX) on the oxidation and co-oxidation of lipid fraction was studied in the model system of rainbow trout. For the reaction in model system 1 g of lipid fraction and 50mL of enzyme extract(LOX, 140 unit in 50mL phosphate buffer solution at pH 7,4)), which were obtained from rainbow trout, were homoginized in the presence of Tween 20 and kept at 23$\circ$C for 3 days. The activity of LOX was decreased to 43% of initial level during the reaction in the model system. The initial composition of rainbow trout lipid was showed to be consisted of trigliceride(TG;82%) and free fatty acid(FFA;0.1%), while this converted to 59% of TG and 20% of FIFA, respectively after reaction in model system. Change of fatty acid composition was also observed and the content of linoleic acid, one of the major fatte acids, was decreased to 13% from 54% in the content of total fatty acids after reaction. The carotenoids in rainbow trout were composed of 0.4% $\alpha$-carotene, 1.6% $\beta$ -carotene, 80% canthaxanthin, 7% lutein and 11% zeaxanthin, thus the canthaxanthin was the major component. This canthaxanthin was the most degraded carotenoid by lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation during the reaction. On the other hand the tocopherol isomers found in the rainbow trout were $\alpha$ and $\beta$ -tocopherol, and $\alpha$-tocopherol had a higher degradation rate by the lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation than of $\beta$-tocopherol in the reaction of model system.
