In murine gastrointestinal myocytes muscarinic stimulation activates nonselective cation channels via a G-protein and $Ca^{2+}$-dependent pathway. We recorded inward cationic currents following application of carbachol ($I_{CCh}$) to murine gastric myocytes held at -60 mV, using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. The properties of the inward cationic currents were similar to those of the nonselective cation channels activated by muscarinic stimulation in other gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells. CCh-induced $I_{CCh}$ and spontaneous decay of $I_{CCh}$ (desensitization of $I_{CCh}$) occurred. Unlike the situation in guinea pig gastric myocytes, desensitization was not affected by varying $[EGTA]_i$. Pretreatment with the PLC inhibitor (U73122) blocked the activation of $I_{CCh}$, and desensitization of $I_{CCh}$ was attenuated in PLC ${\beta}_1$ knock-out mice. These results suggest that the desensitization of $I_{CCh}$ in murine gastric myocytes is not due to a pathway dependent on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ but to the PLC ${\beta}_1$ pathway.

Chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid(CChMVd) isolates have been identified from chrysanthemum showing yellow spots or infected without symptom. They were 399-400 nucleotides length of RNA. CChMVd-SSHA6(GenBank accession no. DQ450682) revealed a GAAA to DUUC substitution in positions 82-85 of CChMVd-MSIN34(GenBank accession no. DQ402041). In vitro RNA transcripts with the complete CChMVd sequence were infectious and induced the typical CChMVd infection symptom of yellow spots in chrysanthemum cv. Sharotte. CChMVd caused reduction in growth in some cultivars, whereas some cultivars were not affected. This is the first report on the occurrence of CChMVd in chrysanthemum in Korea.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which is associated with onset of vascular dementia, causes cognitive impairment and neuropathological alterations in the brain. In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective effect of duloxetine (DXT), a potent and balanced serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, on CCH-induced neuronal damage in the hippocampal CA1 region using a rat model of permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion. We found that treatment with 20 mg/kg DXT could attenuate the neuronal damage, the reduction of phosphorylations of mTOR and p70S6K as well as the elevations of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and $IL-1{\beta}$ levels in the hippocampal CA1 region at 28 days following CCH. These results indicate that DXT displays the neuroprotective effect against CCH-induced hippocampal neuronal death, and that neuroprotective effect of DXT may be closely related with the attenuations of CCH-induced decrease of mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway as well as CCH-induced neuroinflammatory process.

투명 세포 열선 종(clear cell hidradenoma; 이하 CCH)은 외분비 또는 아포크린 분화 땀샘의 드문 종양이다. 신체의 어느 곳에서나 발생할 수 있지만 일반적으로 머리, 얼굴, 몸통과 사지에서 발생한다. 여러 보고에서 CCH의 초음파 소견에 대해 언급하였지만 변형 탄성 초음파(strain elastography; 이하 SE) 소견에 대한 연구는 겨드랑이의 병변에 대해 보고한 한 경우밖에 없다. 우리는 표피 종양(epidermoid tumor)처럼 보였던 종아리에서 발생한 CCH의 사례를 초음파 소견과 SE 소견을 함께 보고하는 바이다.

최근 차량 네트워크 VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network)에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 차량 간 비콘 메세지 전송에 관한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 교통 상황 및 안전 정보, 상업 서비스를 제공하기 위한 무선 전송 기술의 표준인 IEEE 802.11p/1609에는 시스템 제어 및 차량 안전 메세지 전송을 위한 CCH(Control Channel)와 비 안전 데이터 패킷을 전송하기 위한 SCH(Service Channel)가 존재한다. 하지만 하나의 CCH을 통해서 안전 메세지를 전송하기 때문에 차량의 밀도가 높아진 혼잡상황에서는 안전 메세지 전송문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 차량 밀도가 높은 혼잡상황에서 안전 메세지를 전송할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 결정트리를 이용하여 우선순위를 결정하여 각 큐에 할당된 시간동안 저장된 메세지들은 CCH를 통해 높은 우선순위대로 차례로 전송한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 비콘 전송 지연을 감소시키고 IEEE 802.11p/1609.4 기반 네트워크에서 성공적인 비콘 수신확률을 증가시킨다.

We have investigated the effects of relatively high concentration of carbachol (CCh), an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR), on cardiac automaticity in mouse heart. Action potentials from automatically beating right atria of mice were measured with conventional microelectrodes. When atria were treated with $100{\mu}M$ CCh, atrial beating was immediately arrested and diastolic membrane potential (DMP) was depolarized. After exposure of the atria to CCh for $\~4 min$, action potentials were regenerated. The regenerated action potentials had lower frequency and shorter duration when compared with the control. When atria were pre-exposed to pirenzepine $(1{\mu}M)$, an $M_1$ mAChR antagonist, there was complete inhibition of CCh-induced depolarization of DMP and regeneration of action potentials. Pre-exposure to AFDX-116 (11 ({2-[(diethylamino)-methyl]-1-piperidyl}acetyl)-5, 11-dihydro-6H-pyridol[2,3-b][1,4] benzodiazepine-6-one base, $1{\mu}M$), an $M_2$ mAChR antagonist, failed to block CCh-induced arrest of the beating. However, prolonged exposure to CCh elicited gradual depolarization of DMP and slight acceleration in beating rate. Our data indicate that high concentration of CCh depolarizes membrane potential and recovers right atrial automaticity via $M_1$ mAChR, providing functional evidence for the role of $M_1$ mAChR in the atrial myocytes.

In gastrointestinal smooth muscle, muscarinic stimulation by carbachol (CCh) activates nonselective cation channel current ($I_{CCh}$) which is facilitated by intracellular [$Ca^{2+}$] increase. Caffeine is widely used in experiments to mobilize $Ca^{2+}$ from intracellular stores. This study shows a strong inhibitory effect of caffeine on $I_{CCh}$ in guinea-pig gastric myocyte. In this study, the underlying mechanism of the inhibitory effect of caffeine was investigated. $I_{CCh}$ was completely suppressed by the addition of caffeine (10 mM) to the superfusing solution. Inhibition of $I_{CCh}$ by caffeine was not related to the intracellular cAMP accumulation which was expected from the phosphodiesterase-inhibiting effect of caffeine. The blockade of $InsP_3-induced$ $Ca^{2+}$ release by heparin had no significant effects on the activation of $I_{CCh}$. When the same cationic current had been induced by intracellular dialysis of $GTP[{\gamma}S]$ in order to bypass the muscarinic receptor, the inhibitory effect of caffeine was significantly attenuated. The results of this study indicate that both intracellular signalling pathways for $I_{CCh}$, proximal and distal to G-protein activation, are suppressed by caffeine. A major inhibition was observed at the proximal level.

Stimulation of muscarinic receptors by carbachol (CCh) in the circular smooth muscle of the guinea pig gastric antrum causes muscle contraction. In the present study, muscarinic receptor subtype controlling the muscle contraction in response to CCh was studied using putative muscarinic receptor antagonists. Isometric force of the isolated circular muscle strips was measured in an organ bath. CCh contracted the muscle in a dose-dependent way, and each of the three muscarinic receptor antagonists, 4-diphenylacetoxy- N-methylpeperdine methiodide (4-DAMP), methoctramine and pirenzepine shifted the concentration- response curves to the right without significantly reducing the maximum force. The affinities of the muscarinic antagonists $(pA_2\;values)$ obtained from Schild plot analysis were 10.15, 7.05 and 6.84 for 4-DAMP, methoctramine and pirenzepine, respectively. These results suggest that the $M_3-subtype$ mainly mediate the muscle contraction in response to CCh in guinea pig gastric antrum.

본 논문은 차량 네트워크에 적용되는 IEEE 802.11p MAC 프로토콜에서의 브로드캐스팅 동작을 모델링하였다. 도로상의 안전 서비스 구현에 필요한 beacon 메시지는 브로드캐스팅 방식으로 교환되는데 최적의 안전 서비스 구축을 위해 브로드캐스팅 동작의 해석적 모델링이 필요하다. 모델링에 반영된 IEEE 802.11p 고유의 특성은, CCH(Control Channel)와 SCH(Service Channel) 간의 채널 스위칭 동작과 이로 인해 beacon 메시지를 교환하는 CCH 구간이 시간적 제한을 갖는다는 점, 그리고 재전송이 없다는 점이다. 이러한 고유 특성이 반영된 모델링 설계에서 본 논문은 beacon 메시지의 발생 패턴에 대한 제한을 두지 않았다. 즉, CCH 구간 내 분산된 발생 및 브로드캐스팅을 모델링하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과와의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 모델링의 정확성을 확인하였다. 또한, beacon 메시지 발생 및 브로드캐스팅을 분산시킴으로써 전달률, 전송 지연 및 지연의 변동성 등 모든 성능지표가 개선되는 것을 확인하였다.

천초근은 전통적으로 동양의학에서 항암제로 사용되어왔는데 인간 급성 백혈병 세포주인 Jurkat T 세포를 사용하여 천초근의 세포독성기작을 알아보았다. 천초근 뿌리(3 kg)를 메탄올로 추출, 증류한 후 물에 녹여 다시 dichloromethane으로 추출분획 하였다. 세포독성 활성을 보이는 dichloromethane 추출물을 연속적으로 HPLC를 통해 분리하였고 그 활성물질(65 mg)을 CCH1이라 명명하였다. CCH1을 0.5 ${\mu}g$/ml에서 2.0 ${\mu}g$/ml의 농도로 처리하고 세포사멸 과정을 보았다. 즉, mitochondria cytochrome c 방출, casapase-8, -9 및 caspase-3의 활성화, PARP 분해, DNA 단편화 현상들이 일어나는 것을 관찰하였다. 하지만, mitochondria cytochrome c 방출 억제자인 Bcl-xL이 과발현되는 Jurkat T 세포에서는 세포사멸현상이 일어나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 CCH1이 mitochondria 의존적인 신호전달 과정을 통해서 세포사멸을 유도 한다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 CCH1에 의한 세포독성은 혈액에서 분리한 단핵구 세포보다 Jurkat T 세포에서 보다 강한 활성을 보였다.
