  • We explored the role of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) on parathyroid (PTH)-induced signaling in osteoblasts. PTH was shown to increase the activity of PDE, mainly PDE4, in osteoblasts, which is partly attributable to elevated PDE4B and PDE4D mRNA expression. The use of PDE4 inhibitor strengthened the PTH-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) activation. Furthermore, the PDE4 inhibitor stimulated PTH-induced receptor activator of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) expression in osteoblasts, which in turn increased osteoclast formation. Taken together, these data suggest the negative role of PDE4 on PTH-induced signaling in osteoblasts.

  • Recently a B cell surface molecule, CD40, has emerged as a receptor mediating a co-stimulatory signal for B cell proliferation and differentiation. To investigate the mechanism of synergy between interleukin-4 (IL-4) and CD40 ligation in B cell activation, we have examined the effect of CE40 cross-linking on the IL-4 receptor expression in human B cells using anti-CE40 antibody. We observed that IL-4 and anti-CD40 both induce IL-4 receptor gene expression with a rapid kinetics resulting in a noticeable accumulation of IL-4 receptor mRNA within 4 h. While IL-4 caused a dose-dependent induction of surface IL-4 receptor expression, the inclusion of anti-CD40 in the IL-4-treated culture, further up-regulated the IL-4-induced IL-4 receptor expression as analyzed by flow cytometry. Pretreatment of B cells with inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) resulted in a significant inhibition of both the IL-4- and anti-CD40-induced IL-4 receptor mRNA levels, while protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors had no effects. These results suggest that IL-4 and CD40 ligation generate B cell signals, which via PTK-dependent pathways, lead to the synergistic induction of IL-4 receptor gene expression. The rapid induction of IL-4 receptor gene expression through the tyrosine kinase-mediated signal transduction by B cell activating stimuli, would provide cells capacity for an efficient response to IL-4 in the early phase of IL-4 action, and may in part constitute the molecular basis of the reported anti-CD40 co-stimulatory effect on the IL-4-induced response.

  • 불고기 소스를 상업적으로 생산할 때 제품의 품질수명을 연장하기 위하여 가열처리하게되며, 가열로 인한 품질손실이 발생한다. 이런 가열처리를 대체할 수 있는 방법으로 소스에 방사선 조사를 실시하였고, 이것이 소스의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 총산도는 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장시 처리 구간에 차이가 없었으며, $20^{\circ}C$ 저장시 7-10kGy 방사선처리구나 가열처리구에서 변화가 거의 없었다. Brix는 처리구간에 차이가 있었으나 경시적인 변화는 없었다. 표면색깔은 무처리 및 4kGy 처리구에서 저장중 변화가 심했으며, 특히 $20^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 경우 갈변에 의한 변화가 더욱 심했다. 당함량은 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 sucrose는 감소하고 glucose와 fructose는 증가하였으며 낮은 저장온도에서 변화가 적었다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 12주 저장한 소스의 관능적 품질은 무처리구를 제외하고 처리구간에 별 차이가 없었다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 6주간 저장한 소스는 가열처리 및 7-10kGy 처리구간에 차이가 없었고, 무처리 또는 4kGy 처리구에서는 이미, 이취가 심했다. 대장균군은 4kGy 처리시 저장온도와 상관없이 검출되지 않았으며, 일반세균이나 유산균은 7-10kGy 및 가열처리시 생균수가 3-4log cycle 감소하였고, $4^{\circ}C$ 저장시에는 균체수의 증가가 적었다. 가열처리 또는 7-10kGy 처리한 소스에서는 효모나 곰팡이가 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 감마선을 7kGy 이상 조사하거나 가열처리한 불고기 소스는 저장 안전성과 좋은 품질을 유지할 수 있었다.

  • Phosphate absorption from a Na2H32PO4 solution by Oryza sativa L. was studied in order to elucidate kinetic mechanisms of ion transport. The rates of phosphate absorption from different concentraitons indicated the presence of dual mechanisms in root tips, one in the low (1$\times$10-6 to 8$\times$10-5M) and the other in the high (1$\times$10-4 to 8$\times$10-3M). A phosphate compensation point of phosphate transport was revealed with a 1$\times$10-6M solution of Na2H32PO4. The kinetic model that ion transport involves an exchange reaction of absorption and desorptin is prosposed as follows: where C represents an ionic-specific organic carrier in the membrane; M, Mo and Mi are the mineral ions, M-outside and M-inside; MC is a carrier-ion complex; and the K's represent rate constants. In this model, the Mi velocity, v, is given by: {{{{v= {dMi} over {dt}= {(K1K3Mo-K2K4Mi) Ct} over {(K2+K3)+K1Mo+K4Mi} }} where Ct is equal to C+MC, and t is time.

  • For a distance-regular graph with valency k, second largest eigenvalue r and diameter D, it is known that r ≥ $min\{\frac{{\lambda}+\sqrt{{\lambda}^2+4k}}{2},\;a_3\}$ if D = 3 and r ≥ $\frac{{\lambda}+\sqrt{{\lambda}^2+4k}}{2}$ if D ≥ 4, where λ = a1. This result can be generalized to the class of edge-regular graphs. For an edge-regular graph with parameters (v, k, λ) and diameter D ≥ 4, we compare $\frac{{\lambda}+\sqrt{{\lambda}^2+4k}}{2}$ with the local valency λ to find a relationship between the second largest eigenvalue and the local valency. For an edge-regular graph with diameter 3, we look at the number $\frac{{\lambda}-\bar{\mu}+\sqrt{({\lambda}-\bar{\mu})^2+4(k-\bar{\mu})}}{2}$, where $\bar{\mu}=\frac{k(k-1-{\lambda})}{v-k-1}$, and compare this number with the local valency λ to give a relationship between the second largest eigenvalue and the local valency. Also, we apply these relationships to distance-regular graphs.

  • Several dominant 4-CPA-degrading bacteria were isoalted from agricultural soils. Most of the isolates were identified as Burkholderia species by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis, but they were idstinct in chromosomal patterns obtained by PCR amplification of repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) sequences. These strains were generally restricted in their substrate utilization capabilities. The 4-CPA degradative enzymes were idnducible by 4-CPA and some isolates appeared to mineralize 4-CPA via formation of 4-chlorophenol and 4-chlorocatechol as intermediates during its biodegradation pathway. Plasmid DNAs were not detected from most of the isoaltes and their 4-CPA genes wer on the chromosomal DAN. The 4-CPA degradation patterns in axenic cultures and natural soils varied depending on the strains and soils. The inoculation of 4-CPA degraders much improved the removal of 4-CPA from the 4-CPA treated soils.
