Plasminogen activators (PAs)는 자궁분비액, 난포액, 정장물질 등을 포함한 여러 가지 세포외 분비액(extracellular fluids) 및 plasma에 풍부하게 존재하는 세포외 전구효소인 plasminogen을 plasmin으로 전환시키는 단백질분해효소이다. PAs는 섬유소용해, 배란, 착상 및 수정을 포함한 다양한 생리적인 과정에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 돼지의 체외수정 과정시 정자와 난자에서의 plasminogen activators activity의 변화를 SDS-PAGE와 zymography를 이용하여 검토하였다. (중략)

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a major cellular energy sensor and master regulator of metabolic homeostasis. On activation, this cellular fuel sensing enzyme induces a series of metabolic changes to balance energy consumption via multiple downstream signaling pathways controlling nutrient uptake and energy metabolism. This pivotal role of AMPK has led to the development of numerous AMPK activators which might be used as novel drug candidates in the treatment of AMPK related disorders, diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases. Consequently, a number of patents have been published on AMPK activators from natural products and other sources. This review covers the patented AMPK activators from natural products and their therapeutic potential in treatment or prevention of metabolic diseases including diabetes and obesity.

A vanilloid receptor (VR1, now known as TRPV1) is an ion channel activated by vanilloids, including capsaicin (CAP) and resiniferatoxin (RTX), which are pungent ingredients of plants. Putative endogenous activators (anandamide and metabolites of arachidonic acid) are weak activators of VR1 compared to capsaicin and RTX, and the concentrations of the physiological condition of those activators are not sufficient to induce significant activation of VR1. One way to overcome the weak activation of endogenous activators would be the sensitization of VR1, with the phosphorylation of the channel being one possibility. The phosphorylation of VR1 by several kinases has been reported, mostly by indirect evidence. Here, using an in vivo phosphorylation method, the VR1 channel was shown to be sensitized by phosphorylation of the channel itself by multiple pathways involving PKA, PKC and acid. Also, in sensitizing VR1, BK appeared to show activation of PKC for the sensitization of VR1 by phosphorylation of the channel.

This study provides effects of mixed activators on enzymatic activation and determines optimum mixture ratio for enzymatic treatment. Wool 80% and polyester 20% blend fabric and papain from carica papaya are used in this experiment. L-cysteine and sodium sulfite are used as activators for papain treatment process. The treatment condition is pH 7.5, $70^{\circ}$, papain concentration 10%(o.w.f), 60 minutes. L-cysteine and sodium sulfite are added in enzyme solution with various concentrations($0{\sim}50mM$). The optimum treatment condition is determined by measuring weight loss, tensile strength, whiteness, water contact angle(WCA), dyeability and surface micrographs. The results are as follow; The optimum mixture ratio of activators is L-cysteine 2mM and sodium sulfite 10mM. Mixed activators assists in improving the activation of papain. WCA of papain treated fabrics is decreased since papain treatment with activator mixture makes wool polyester blend fabrics more hydrophilic. Dyeing property of papain-treated fabrics more improves by the treatment with mixed activators than with single activator. It means that this method can save time and lower cost. After papain treatment in the presence of mixed activator, the surface of fabrics is modified. The surface of wool fiber shows to be descaled and hydrolyzed, and that of polyester fiber shows to be cracked.

본 연구에서는 미생물활성화제를 토양경작법에 적용하였을 경우 토양을 복원함에 있어 타 공법에 비해 장시간 걸리는 단점을 최소화하고, 빠른 시일 내에 친환경적으로 복원이 가능한지에 대한 타당성 조사와 더불어 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 저감 능력을 확인하였다. Pre-test의 개념으로 미생물활성화제의 성능과 분해 효율을 lab-test를 통해 확인하였으며, 유류오염 토양의 지표인 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 효과를 확인하였다. 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 처리 효과를 확인한 결과, 20일 정도까지는 자연분해와 미생물활성화제의 차이가 미미하게 발생하였으나, 20일 경과 후에는 처리 효과가 대조군에 비해 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 각층에 따른 제거율을 살펴본 결과, 상층 85.8 %, 중층 84.4 %의 제거율을 나타냈으나, 하층에서는 66.10 % 제거율을 나타냈다. 대조군에서 자연적으로 줄어드는 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 저감율이 평균 71.1 %임을 근거로 봤을 때 미생물활성화제가 하층까지 충분하게 전달되지 않은 상태로 볼 수 있었으며, 이는 토양 더미의 문제로 판단된다. 현장 실험에서는 토양 더미가 1 m 로 진행되었기 때문에 더미 높이를 0.6 m 이하로 낮추게 되면 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 처리효율은 더 높아질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구의 목적은 알칼리 활성화제의 종류와 양생방법에 따라 나타나는 고로슬래그 기반 섬유보강 복합재료의 압축강도 및 인장거동에 대해 실험적으로 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 알칼리 활성화제 2종류의 배합과 2가지 양생방법을 결정하였고, 밀도 실험, 압축강도 실험과 일축인장 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 규산나트륨을 사용한 경우 수산화칼슘과 탄산나트륨을 혼합하여 사용한 경우에 비하여 강도, 인장변형성능, 인성 측면에서 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 활성화제 종류에 따라 양생방법에 의한 영향이 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

This experiment carried out in order to investigate the effect of the chemical activators for acceleration of hydration the system of Fly ash-Cao The paste was consisted of 80wt% Fly ash and 20wt% CaO with 1. 3. 5wt% of 4 activators(N{{{{ alpha _2 }}S{{{{ OMICRON _4 }}, CaC{{{{ {l }_{2 } }}, NaOH, Ca(N{{{{ OMICRON _3 {)}_{2 } }} and W/S ratio of 0.42 After curing for 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days the paste hydration was characterized by the measurement of compressive strength XRD analysis SEM observation the combined water and the reaction amount of Ca(OH)2 determination. As a result of this ex-periment all of the system which involved Na2SO4 or NaOH had a god compressive strength. In the case of 7 days curing a system which added CaCl2 showed the highest compressive strength among all especially NaOH system showed a high increase in strength as a dosage of it increased. Hydration products were different according to activatores added. Only C-S-H was observed in NaOH system. As the reaction amount of Ca(OH)2 and combined water were increased the compressive strength increased. There were few differences in the comparision of strength between ignited loss 3.1% and loss 9.3% of fly ash.

The aim of the present study is to investigate some characteristics of concrete according to addition of blast furnace slag and alkali-activator dosages. Blast furnace slag was used at 30%, 50% replacement by weight of cement, and liquid sulfur having NaOH additives was chosen as the alkaline activator. In order to evaluate characteristics of blast furnace slag concrete with sulfur alkali activators, compressive strength test, total porosity, chloride ions diffusion coefficient test were performed. The early-compressive strength characteristics of blast furnace slag concrete using a sulufr-alkali activators was compared with those of reference concrete and added 30, 50% blast furnace slag concrete. Also, Blast furnace slag concrete using sulfur-alkali activators enhanced the total porosity, chloride ions diffusion coefficient than two standard concrete. Alkali-activated blast furnace slag concrete was related to total porosity, compressive strength and chloride ions diffusion coefficient each others. As a result, it should be noted that the sulfur-alkali activators can not only solve the demerit of blast furnace slag concrete but also offer the chloride resistance of blast furnace slag concrete using sulfur alkali activators to normal concrete.

For transdermal delivery of ceramides, various liposomes formulations were studied and evaluated. Sodium deoxycholate (SDC), Tween 20 and Span 85 were used as edge activators. The skin permeation of ceramides was performed using a Franz cell apparatus with hairless mouse skin. Among edge activators, SDC showed the higher values of deformability index and skin permeation than did others. For optimization of formulations, we varied the ratios of lipids to edge activators and the compositions between phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ceramides. The optimal ratio of lipid to SDC was observed to be 6:1 (w:w) and that of PC and ceramide was 1:1. Our results suggest that the skin permeation of ceramides could be enhanced by optimized deformable formulations of liposomes containing SDC as a major edge activator.
