Objectives : Artemisia princeps is used as moxa in moxibustion and traditional herbal medicine. And its extracts or compounds is known to have an efficacy of antioxidant, anti-diabete, anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. This study was performed to investigate the cytoprotective effect of Artemisia princeps extract (APE) against arachidonic acid (AA)+iron-induced oxidative stress on HepG2 cell. Methods : The effects of APE on cell viability has been assessed using MTT assay. And flow cytometric analysis was performed to estimate APE's effects on mitochondrial function. To investigate its underlying mechanism, related protein was analysed by using immunoblot analysis. Results : Treatment of APE increased relative cell viability, prevented a decline of B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and procaspase-3, and also protected mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMP) against oxidative stress induced by AA+iron. In addition, APE treatment increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) exerts a cytoprotective effect. Conclusions : This results demonstrate that APE has an ability to activation of AMPK which protects cells from AA+iron-induced oxidative stress and restores MMP.

Objective Classification of herbal formulas through the analysis of compositional herb's is a suitable method in the aspects of the effective applications of herbal formulas. However, these classification methods have some problems in dealing with lots of herbal formulas because the estimations of herbal formula's effects are dependent upon one's memory. In this study, we aimed to establish the effective methodology to elicit the classified herbal formula's chart by introducing the DB systems without interfering with non-standard terms. Method : We entered the herbs informations of the composition of herbal formulas into database, made an alias tables of corresponding herbs, and achieved standardization of herb's informations. Using these databases, we made the classified herbal formula's chart according to the presence and the treatment informations of herbs. Results By analyzing the herbal formula into the set of compositional herbal elements, we could systemically express the parents and children herbal formula at once according to search terms. We provided the advanced searching tools entering the name of herbal formula and compositional herb together. Through these searching methods, it is facilitated to grasp the classified herbal formula's chart according to the addition and reduction of compositional herbs in Dong-uibogam(東醫寶鑑) and Bangjehak(方劑學)

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate two new classes of generalized Bernoulli and Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials based on the definition given recently by the authors [29]. In particular, we obtain a new addition formula for the new class of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials. We also give an extension and some analogues of the Srivastava-Pint$\acute{e}$r addition theorem [28] for both classes. Finally, by making use of the new adition formula, we exhibit several interesting relationships between generalized Bernoulli polynomials and other polynomials or special functions.

한약재 및 천연 propolis를 직접 음식으로 이용하여 재료과학화 및 저장성 향상을 통하여 돼지고기용 기능성 한방양념소스 개발을 위한 기초 자료로서 품질특성을 규명 하고자 하였다. 한약재 추출조건 및 특성에 따라 기존 양념소스(formula A), 표준화된 양념소스로 propolis를 첨가한 것(formula B), propolis를 첨가하지 않는 것(formula C)으로 제조하였으며, 저장조건은 20일 동안 $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 실시하였다. 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 한방양념 돼지고기의 pH의 변화는 대체로 비슷한 경향으로 증가하였으나 formula B가 약간 우수하였으며 각 formula 간의 큰 변화는 보이지 않았다. 저장기간별 품질을 평가하는데 pH 보다는 총균수 및 대장균군수 변화가 보다 예민한 지표로서 작용하였다. 육제품의 신선도를 평가하는데 지표가 되고 있는 POV와 TBA가는 저장기간이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보여 propolis를 첨가한 formula B에서 다른 formula 보다 현저하게 감소하여 지질산화 효과를 나타냈다. VBN값도 formula B가 formula A와 C 보다 낮은 수준으로 증가하여 propolis의 단백질 분해억제 효과를 나타냈다. 관능적 특성을 조사한 결과 각 formula별로 유의성은 없었으나 formula B군에서 특유의 향이 어우러져 부드러운 질감과 독특한 향취가 느껴졌다는 의견이 관능평가표 참고란을 통해 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결괴를 종합해 보면, 한방양념돼지고기의 품질특성은 전체적으로 formula B > formula C > formula A순으로 나타났다. 그러므로 한약재 및 propolis 첨가가 저장기간을 연장하고 식품의 보존제로서의 가치를 부여해 줄 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

To minimize the impact of urbanization, accurate performance evaluation of Low Impact Development (LID) facilities is needed. In Korea, the method designed to evaluate large-scale non-point pollution reduction facilities is being applied to LID facilities. However, it has been pointed out that this method is not suitable for evaluating the performance of relatively small-scale installed LID facilities. In this study, a new design formula was proposed based on the ratio of LID facility area and contributing drainage area, for estimating the Stormwater Interception Ratio (SIR) for LID facilities. The SIR was estimated for bio-retentions, infiltration trenches and vegetative swales, which are typical LID facilities, under various conditions through long-term stormwater simulation using the LID module of EPA SWMM. Based on the results of these numerical experiments, the new SIR formula for each LID facility was derived. The sensitivity of the proposed SIR formula to local rainfall properties and design variables is analysed. In addition, the SIR formula was compared with the existing design formula, the Rainfall Interception Ratio (RIR).

Aged garlic has been reported to possess beneficial pharmacological activities, including anti-stress and anti-fatigue properties, and to exert protective effects on the cardiovascular system and liver. Pine needles are widely used in folk medicine and as food additives owing to their pharmacological properties such as anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. It has long been known that combining certain phytochemicals with other phenols or organic acids can produce synergistic effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an optimal formula of aged garlic with added pine needle powder for improved antioxidant activity using the statistical technique of response surface methodology. The antioxidant activities of aged garlic mixed with pine needle powder were confirmed by measuring oxygen radical absorbance capacity and total polyphenol content. An optimized antioxidant formula was identified that contained 5.08 g aged garlic and 1.97 g pine needle powder. The antioxidant activities of the mixture prepared using this optimal formula were significantly higher than the predicted values according to an additive model. Hence, this study confirms that the addition of pine needle powder to aged garlic can improve its antioxidant activity. This study demonstrated an optimal mixing ratio to produce an aged garlic product with improved functionality through the addition of pine needle powder that could be successfully employed by the food industry to prepare functional foods.

The Helmholtz equation represents acoustic or electromagnetic scattering phenomena. The Method of Lines are known to have many advantages in simulation of forward and inverse scattering problems due to the usage of angle rays and Bessel functions. However, the method does not account for the jump phenomena on obstacle boundary and the approximation includes many high order Bessel functions. The high order Bessel functions have extreme blow-up or die-out features in resonance region obstacle boundary. Therefore, in particular, when we consider shape reconstruction problems, the method is suffered from severe instabilities due to the logical confliction and the severe singularities of high order Bessel functions. In this paper, two approximation formulas for the Helmholtz equation are introduced. The formulas are new and powerful. The derivation is based on Method of Lines, Huygen's principle, boundary jump relations, Addition Formula, and the orthogonality of the trigonometric functions. The formulas reduce the approximation dimension significantly so that only lower order Bessel functions are required. They overcome the severe instability near the obstacle boundary and reduce the computational time significantly. The convergence is exponential. The formulas adopt the scattering jump phenomena on the boundary, and separate the boundary information from the measured scattered fields. Thus, the sensitivities of the scattered fields caused by the boundary changes can be analyzed easily. Several numerical experiments are performed. The results show the superiority of the proposed formulas in accuracy, efficiency, and stability.

Let (M,F) and (M',F') be two foliated Riemannian manifolds with M compact. If the transversal Ricci curvature of F is nonnegative and the transversal sectional curvature of F' is nonpositive, then any transversally harmonic map ${\phi}:(M,F){\rightarrow}(M^{\prime},F^{\prime})$ is transversally totally geodesic. In addition, if the transversal Ricci curvature is positive at some point, then ${\phi}$ is transversally constant.

In calculating resonant frequencies of a microstrip resonator the effect of the stray field at resonator edges has been neglected in most publications. The formula for resonant frequencies therefore provided inaccurate results. In the paper the effective dimension and the dynamic dielectic constant of a resonator are defined and obtained for more accurate resonant frequencies and qualty factor by including the effect of stray fields. Theoretical results obtained from the new formula show good agreement with experimental results. In addition, the effect on resonant modes of the distance and coupling angle between the microstrip line and the resonator is also observed.
