고추의 나출 소포자로부터 배를 유기하는데 최적인 조건을 확립하기 위하여 micro-blender를 사용하여 소포자들을 나출한 후 NLN 배지에 배양하였으며 $32^{\circ}C$의 고온처리 기간, 전처리 배지내 2-hydroxynicotinic acid의 첨가, 그리고 약과 소포자의 공동전처리가 소포자배의 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 나출 소포자들을 기아배지에서 고온처리 한 후 NLN 배지에 배양하였을 때 다수의 배가 발생하였다. 배양 3주 후부터 구형 및 어뢰형배가 관찰되었는데 이때 배의 발생은 비동조적으로 일어났다. 배양4주가 되면 구형과 어뢰형배 이외에 자엽배들이 발생하였다. 발생한 배들 중자엽배늘은 $2\%$ sucrose가 첨가되고 생장조절물질은 첨가되지 않은 B5 고체배지로 옮겼을 때 정상인 유식물들로 발달하였다. 고온처리 기간이 $1\~2$일로 짧은 경우 소포자배의 발생은 높았으나 대부분이 발달초기의 구형 또는 심장형배이었으며 자엽배의 발생은 매우 드물었다. 고온처리 3일 이상에서는 배의 발생은 크게 감소하였으나 자엽배가 다수 발생하였다. Inducer chemical로 알려진 2-hydroxynicotinic acid를 약전처리배지에 첨가하였을 때 배의 발생은 다소 높았으나 발달은 오히려 억제되어 대부분이 구형 또는 심장형이었다. 소포자 전처리시 약을 첨가한 경우 배의 발생이나 발달 모두 억제되었다. 본 연구결과 고추의 나출 소포자로부터 다수의 배를 획득하였고 식물체를 재분화 시키는데 처음으로 성공하였다. 이와 같은 소포자 배양시스템은 앞으로 더 많은 배를 생산할 수 있는 배양조건이 확립되어야 하지만 homozygous한 배가 반수체의 생산 뿐만아니라 형질 전환과 열성 또는 우성의 돌연변이체 선발에 매우 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 비해 $ 0.27\~0.79\;\cal{mg/g}$ F.W.가 높았으며 환기횟수 $0.1 h^{-1}$ 처리구는 광도의 증가에 따른 효과가 나타나지 않았으나 환기횟수 $0.1 h^{-1}$ 처리구는 높은 광도에서 감소하였다. 환기횟수 $4.9 h^{-1}$는 $0.1 h^{-1}$에 비해 잎의 공변세포가 크고 주변 부세포가 잘 발달되어 있었다. 특히 PPF $99\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$에서 환기횟수 $0.1 h^{-1}$는 부세포의 발달이 미흡하고 기공이 많이 열려 있는 상태인 반면 환기횟수 $4.9 h^{-1}$는 부세포가 잘 발달된 잎을 지니고 있었다.:PR30, KB50:PR50, PR100:KB0 처리구의 $1m^2$ 당 개체 수는 각각 16,600개, 6,700개, 4,900개, 3,300개, 12,400개였으며 총직립경 수는 각각 33,200개, 22,800개, 18,000개, 15,000개, 62,000개였다. 개체 수는 KB100:PR0처리구가 가장 높았고, 다음은 PR100:KB0처리구였으며 혼합처리구의 경우는 Kentucky bluegrass 혼합비 율이 높을수록 높았다. 총직립경 수는 PR100:KB0 처리구가 KB100:PR0 처리구보다 오히려 높았으며 혼합 처리구의 경우는 개체수와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 혼합처리구의 경우 초종별 개체수의 비율은 KB80:PR20는 87:13, KB70:PR30는 78:22, KB50:PR50은 48:52의 비율로 나타났다. 조성시기의 기상과 피복율과의 상관관계 2001년 가을과 2002년 봄의 일일평균기온을 비교하여 보면 가을(9월, 10월, 11월) 3개월간의 일일평균기온은

콩과 식물인 갈근에는 genistein과 daidzein이 함유된 것으로 알려졌으므로 본 연구는 갈근(PR), 갈화(PF) 및 어린순인 갈용(PL)에 함유된 phytoestrogen의 함량을 HPLC법으로 정량 분석하였다. 동시에 phytoestrogen의 골다공증 치료제에 대한 효능 검색의 일환으로 조골세포의 증식작용(MTT법 및 ALP분석)과 피골세포의 활성(TRAP법)을 측정하였고 난소절제 흰쥐에 PR 1 g/kg/day(PR-1) 및 PR 5 g/kg/day(PR-5)을 9주 동안 투여한 후 혈액분석, 혈장 Alkaline phospatase(ALP), 칼슘, 무기성 인산염, 총콜레스테롤, LDL- 및 HDL-콜레스테롤을 측정하였고 적출된 경골 및 요추골의 소주골면적을 측정하였다. PR과 PF의 총 daidzein의 함량은 $10436{\pm}2144\;mg/kg$와 $1003{\pm}206\;mg/kg$이었고 genistein과 formononetin은 PR에만 존재하고 PF 및 PL에는 함유되어 있지 않았다. 인간 유사 조골 세포주인 Saos-2에 PR은 대조군의 158% 정도(5 mg/mL)의 세포증식효과와 ALP 활성을 증가시켰으나 전처리한 PR, PF 및 PL의 세포증식효과는 없었고 PL만이 ALP 활성을 증가시켰다. 파골세포의 증식억제실험에서 genistein의 $IC_{50}$는 $1.57{\times}10^{-4}\;mg/mL$ $(5.81{\times}10^{-7}\;M)$이었고, daidzein과 PR은 효과가 없었다. 난소절제 흰쥐에 대한 in vivo 실험에서 대조군이 sham군보다 난소적출 1주 후부터 체중의 증가가 급격하게 나타났으나 PR의 투여로 둔화되었다. PR 투약에 의한 자궁의 무게는 PR-5군은 대조군에 비해 증가되었고(p<0.05), PR-1군은 대조군과 유의성이 없었다. 혈장 ALP의 활성은 주령의 증가에 EK라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, HDL-콜레스테롤의 농도는 모든 군에서 주령에 따라 감소되었으나(p<0.01), PR-5군의 LDL-콜레스테롤의 농도는 대조군에 비해 감소되었다(p<0.01). 대조군에 비해 sham군의 경골 및 요추골의 면적은 증가되었고(p<0.01), PR 투여군(PR-1 및 PR-5)도 sham보다 적으나 대조군에 비해 소주골 면적이 증가되었다(각 p<0.01). 특히 고용량의 PR 투여는 PR의 골다공증 치료효과가 우수함을 증명하였으며(p<0.01), PL과 PF는 효능이 미비하나 PR은 골다공증의 예방 및 치료제로는 상당히 우수한 한약재임이 확인되었다.

Four MOFs functionalized with 1-Me, 1-Pr, 1-Ph, and 1-$PhCF_3$ were prepared through post-synthetic modifications of a metal-organic framework (MOF), UMCM-1-$NH_2$ (1) with acetic, butyric, benzoic, and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic anhydrides, respectively. Methane adsorption measurements between 253 and 298 K at pressures up to 1 bar indicated that both 1-Ph and 1-$PhCF_3$ adsorbed more $CH_4$ than the parent MOF, 1. All the functionalized MOFs adsorbed more $CO_2$ than 1 under conditions similar to the $CH_4$ test. The introduction of functional groups promoted adsorption of both $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ despite significantly reducing Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area: 4170 (1), 3550 (1-Me), 2900 (1-Pr), 3680 (1-Ph), and 3520 $m^2/g$ (1-$PhCF_3$). Electron-withdrawing aromatic groups (1-Ph, 1-$PhCF_3$) more effectively enhanced $CO_2$ adsorption than electron-donating alkyl groups (1-Me, 1-Pr). In particular, 1-Ph adsorbed 23% more $CO_2$ at 298 K and 50% more at 253 K than 1.

The microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-CoO-Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ based varistors were investigated with Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ additive content of the range 0.0 to 2.0 mol%. Most of the added Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ were segregated at the nodal points and grain boundaries and it coexisted with Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$ in the bulk intergranular layer. The average grain size was decreased in the range of 7.44 to 5.62${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 18.36 to 9.11 at 135$0^{\circ}C$ with increasing Er$_{2}$/O sub 3/ additive content. The density of ceramics was in the range 4.87 to 5.08 g/cm$^3$ at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 5.35 to 5.62 g/cm$^3$at 135$0^{\circ}C$. At 130$0^{\circ}C$ the varistors without Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ exhibited 29.66 in the nonlinear exponent and 28.23 $\mu$A in the leakage current whereas the varistors with 0.5 mol% Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ exhibited a high nonlinearity which is 52.78 in thenonlinear exhibited and 9.75 $\mu$A in the leakage current. At 135$0^{\circ}C$ the varistors without Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ exhibited a very poor nonlinearity indicating 2.08 in the nonlinear exponent and 133.79 $\mu$A in the leakage current whereas the varistors with 1.0mol% Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ exhibited a relatively high nonlinearity which is 36.79 in the nonlinear exponent and 5.92 $\mu$A in the leakage current. Therefore Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ was additive which greatly improve the nonlinearity. It is believed that ZnO-0.5 mol% Pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-1.0 mol% CoO-0.5 mol% Er$_{2}$/O$_{3}$ based ceramicss will be usefully used as a basic composition to develop the advanced pr$_{6}$/O$_{11}$-based ZnO varistors.ristors.ristors.

Objectives : Polygalae Radix (PR) from Polygalae tenuifolia (Polygalaceae) has been clinically used as a sedative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial agent. To extend pharmacological effects of PR in the central nervous system (CNS) on the basis of its CNS protective effect, the present study was conducted to identify the effect of PR, whether it shows the neuroprotective action against excitatory neurotoxicity. Methods : To identify the protective effect of PR to excitatory neuro-toxic agent, the present study was focused on the PR effect on cell death, that was caused by applying NMDA to nerve cell, elevation of $(Ca^{2+})_i$, releasement of glutamate, and ROS generation. Result : 1. PR methanol extract, at the concentration range of 0.05 to 5 g/ml, significantly inhibited NMDA (1 mM)-induced neuronal cell death as well as MK-801 (non competitive NMDA antagonist). 2. PR methanol extract $(0.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited NMDA (1 mM)-induced elevation of cytosolic calcium concentration $[Ca^{2+}]_i$. NMDA application in the presence of MK-801 $(10\;{\mu}M)$ failed to produce the increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ through all the measurement time. 3. PR methanol extract $(0.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited the NMDA-induced elevation of glutamate release. Also, MK-801 showed similar protective effects. 4. PR methanol extract $(0.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited the NMDA-induced elevation of ROS generation. Also, MK-801 showed similar protective effects. Conclusion : The present study provides the availability of PR to exert its protective effect on the neuronal cell death in various neurodegenerative pathophysiological conditions.

The controlled/living cationic polymerization of $\alpha$-methylstyrene (${\alpha}MeSt$) and sequential block copolymerization of isobutylene (IB) with ${\alpha}MeSt$ were achieved using 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TMPCl)/titanium tetrachloride ($TiCl_4$)/titanium isopropoxide ($Ti(OiPr)_4$)/2,6-ditert-butylpyridine (DtBP) initiating system in $CH_3Cl$/hexane(50/50 v/v) solvent mixture at $-80^{\circ}C$. The polymerization rate decreased with increasing $[Ti(OiPr)_4]/[TiCl_4]$ ratio in the homopolymerization of ${\alpha}MeSt$. The effects of $[Ti(OiPr)_4]/[TiCl_4]$ ratios and $PIB^+$ molecular weight on the polymerization rate and blocking efficiency were also investigated. Well-defined poly(isobutylene-b-$\alpha$-methylstyrene)s were demonstrated by $^1H$-NMR and triple detection SEC; refractive index (RI), multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) and ultraviolet (UV) detectors. Blocking efficiencies for the poly(isobutylene-b-$\alpha$-methylstyrene)s of almost 100% were obtained when ${\alpha}MeSt$ was induced by PIB's of $M_n\;{\geq}\;41000$ at $[Ti(OiPr)_4]/[TiCl_4]=1$. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the block copolymers showed two glass transition temperatures, thereby demonstrating microphase separation.

Research was initiated to investigate early establislment characteristics and germination pattern of perennial ryegrass (PR, Lolium perenne L.). Eight varieties of PR were evaluated in the study. An alternative environmental condition for a PR germination test required by International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) was applied in the experiment, consisting of 8-hr light at $25^{\circ}C$ and 16-hr dark at $15^{\circ}C$ (ISTA conditions). Daily and cumulative germination pattern were measured and analyzed daily for 30 days. Significant differences were observed in germination pattern, days to the first germination, days to 50% germination, days to 75% germination, and final germination rate. Germination rates were variable among the varieties, being 66.00 to 93.75% at the end of study. There were considerable variations in early germination characteristics and germination pattern among PR varieties. The first germination in all entries tested was initiated from 3 to 5 DAS (days after seeding) under ISTA conditions, being 2 days in differences among the varieties. It was 4 to 7 DAS in days to the 50% germination, being 1 to 3 days later from the first germination and three days were variable among them. Days to the 75% germination were 5.93 to 10.50 DAS under ISTA conditions, being 4.57 days in variety differences. Pennant II and Brightstar II were the fastest varieties. The slowest ones were Revenge GLX and Brightstar SLT. Considering days to the first germination, days to 75% germination, and germination pattern etc, Pennant II and Brightstar II were regarded as excellent varieties under ISTA conditions. From tills study, information on differences in germination characteristics and pattern would be usefully applied for golf course design and construction, when established with PR.

Expression of estrogen-receptor (ER), progesterone-receptor (PR) and HER-2 has recently been linked with various breast cancer subtypes identified by gene microarray. This study aimed to document breast cancer subtypes based on ER, PR and HER-2 status in Thai women, where expression of these subtypes may not be similar to those evident in Western women. During 2009 to 2010, histological findings from 324 invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC) at Siriraj Hospital were studied. Various subtypes of IDC were identified according to expression of ER, PR and HER-2: luminal-A (ER+;PR+/-;HER-2-), luminal-B (ER+;PR+/-;HER-2 +), HER-2 (ER-;PR- ;HER-2+) and basal-like (ER-;PR-;HER-2-). As well, associations of tumor size, tumor grade, nodal status, angiolymphatic invasion (ALI), multicentricity and multifocality with different breast cancer subtypes were studied. Of 324 IDCs, 143 (44.1%), 147 (45.4%), 15 (4.6%) and 12 (3.7%) were T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. Most tumors were grade 2 (54.9%) and had no nodal involvement (53.4%). According to ER, PR and HER-2 status, 192 (59.3%), 40 (12.3%), 43 (13.3%) and 49 (15.1%) tumors were luminal-A, luminal-B, HER-2 and basal-like subtypes. HER-2 subtype presented with large tumor (p=0.04, ANOVA). Luminal-A IDC was associated with single foci (p<0.01, ${\chi}^2$). HER-2 and basal-like subtypes were likely to have high tumor grade (p<0.01, ${\chi}^2$). In addition, HER-2 subtype had higher number of nodal involvement (p=0.048, ${\chi}^2$). In conclusion, the luminal-A subtype accounted for the majority of IDCs in Thai women. Percentages of HER-2 and basal-like IDCs were high, compared with a recent study from the USA. The HER-2 subtype was related with high nodal invasion. The findings may highlight biological differences between IDCs occurring in Asian and Western women.
