This paper proposes a new test pattern generation methodology for combinational logic circuits using neural networks based on a modular structure. The CUT (Circuit Under Test) is described in our gate level hardware description language. By conferring neural database, the CUT is compiled to an ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) neural network. Each logic gate in CUT is represented as a discrete Hopfield network. Such a neual network is called a gate module in this paper. All the gate modules for a CUT form an ATPG neural network by connecting each module through message passing paths by which the states of modules are transferred to their adjacent modules. A fault is injected by setting the activation values of some neurons at given values and by invalidating connections between some gate modules. A test pattern for an injected fault is obtained when all gate modules in the ATPG neural network are stabilized through evolution and mutual interactions. The proposed methodology is efficient for test generation, known to be NP-complete, through its massive paralelism. Some results on combinational logic circuits confirm the feasibility of the proposed methodology.

Objective : Soybeans of Canavalia gladiata(CG) and root of Arctium lappa(AL) have been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effect. However, the immunoregulatory mechanisms of its combinational prescription remain a matter of considerable debate. In the current study, we investigated whether CG and AL and its combinational prescription(CG+AL) regulate immune system using chronic immobilization-stress mouse model. Methods : C57BL/6J mice fixed for 2 hours into immobilization tube after CG, AL, CG+AL oral administration after 2 hours daily for 21 days. After every experiment has ended the C57BL/6J mice were sacrificed on 22 days. The production of Serotonin and Cortisol, lgA were observed by ELISA method, The proportion of immune cells such as T/B cell and macrophage, NK cell were measured by FACS. Then, Real-time PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression of Inflammatory cytokines(IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-a) and T cell activation cytokines(IL-2, IL-10, IFN-gamma, IL-12p35 / p40). Result : When chronic immobilization-stress mouse model were treated with CG+AL(1:4), the expression of mRNA were significantly decreased at the Inflammatory cytokines(IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-a). While, the levels of mRNA were significantly increased at immune T cell activation cytokines. Additionally, CG+AL(1:4) combinational prescription group enhanced immune cells such as T/B cell and macrophage, NK cell. Furthermore, the Immuno-fluorescence result of brain tissue can confirm that CG+AL(1:4) group significantly increased the BDNF expression. Conclusion : These result suggest that CG+AL(1:4) combinational prescription has Immune System enhancement via stress-mediated immunocyte.

체외 성숙시킨 M II기 난자의 여러 화학물질간의 중복 및 병용처리를 실시하여 수핵란으로서 적합한 활성화 조건과 활성화 후 자체 탈핵을 유도함으로써 보다 효율적인 탈핵 여건을 확립하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 1. Ethanol을 사용하여 6-DMAP 또는 cycloheximide 간의 단독, 중복, 그리고 병용처리를 실시한 결과, 활성화율, 난할율 및 체외 발달율에서 단독처리와 병용처리간의 차이는 없었으나 중복처리시 유의적으로 저하되었다(P<0.05). 2. $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore를 가지고 활성화 조건별로 처리하였을 경우, 6-DMAP와 병용 처리가 활성화율, 난할율 및 체외 발달율에서 각각 80.8%, 78.3%, 40.6%로 단독처리시의 58.0%, 62.9%, 27.0%보다 유의적으로 높았고(P<0.05), 또한 cycloheximide와의 병용처리도 활성화 및 난할율에서 단독처리와의 유의적 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 그러나 중복처리시에는 효과를 나타내지 못하였다. 3. 탈핵전 수핵란에 미리 활성화 처리를 한 후 핵이식란을 재구성 한 결과 탈핵율 및 세포 융합율에서 90.7%, 71.8%로 활성화 처리하지 않은 것 77.8%, 61.1% 보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 그러나 난할율 및 체외 발달율에서는 유의적으로 저하되었다(38.7%, 19.3% vs 68.8%, 30.6%, P<0.05). 또한 변성율도 활성화 처리하지 않은 구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과로 미루어 탈핵전 활성화하여 수핵란으로 이용할 경우 $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore와 6-DMAP를 병용 처리가 가장 효과적이며, 주입되는 체세포와 수핵란 간의 적정한 세포주기의 조절이 효율적인 돼지 복제수정란 생산을 위해 필요할 것이다.

The combinational effect of gamma irradiation and moist heating on the trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) in soaked and dried soybeans was evaluated by measuring the inhibition using N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) as substrate. Gamma irradiation significantly decreased the TIA level in soybean at doses above 5 kGy, and the $ID_{50}$ (the gamma irradiation dose required to reach 50% inhibition) value for TIA was 13.53 kGy. Soaking prior to gamma irradiation significantly lowered the $ID_{50}$ to 8.44 kGy, and the soaking process enhanced the efficiency to inactivate TIA by as much as 48%. When soaking prior to gamma irradiation was followed by subsequent mild heating ($60^{\circ}C$) process, the $IT_{50}$ (heating time required to reach the 50% inhibition of TIA) value at even 1 kGy (5.28 min) was greatly reduced by over 50% compared to the level for the no-soaking process. In addition, the activation energy of soaking prior to gamma irradiation at 1 kGy was 2.45 kcal/mole, which was also about 50% lower than the 5.10 kcal/mole of dried soybean gamma-irradiated. Based on these results, soaking prior to gamma irradiation is an effective method for TIA inhibition. Furthermore, a combination of two or more processing methods such as soaking, heating and gamma irradiation is much more effective than any single processing method.

Patients with type II diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence than non-diabetics. The anti-diabetic drug metformin is most commonly prescribed for the treatment of this disease and has recently shown antitumor effect in preclinical studies. The aberrant mutational activation in the components of RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is very frequently observed in CRC. We previously reported that metformin inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK and BEZ235, a dual inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR, has anti-tumor activity against HCT15 CRC cells harboring mutations of KRAS and PIK3CA. Therefore, we hypothesized that simultaneous inhibition of two pathways by combining metformin with BEZ235 could be more effective in the suppression of proliferation than single agent treatment in HCT15 CRC cells. Here, we investigated the combinatory effect of metformin and BEZ235 on the cell survival in HCT15 CRC cells. Our study shows that both of the two signaling pathways can be blocked by this combinational strategy: metformin suppressed both pathways by inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK, 4E-BP1 and S6, and BEZ235 suppressed PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway by reducing the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and S6. This combination treatment synergistically reduced cell viability. The combination index (CI) values ranged from 0.44 to 0.88, indicating synergism for the combination. These results offer a preclinical rationale for the potential therapeutic option for the treatment of CRC.

The purpose of this study is to verify the result of the previous studies and to clarify the types and activation factors of maintenance activities of the naturally favorable water space through the participation of residents in rural areas, through a further survey of the area proposed as a program in the existing study review and previous study related to the participation of residents. The survey was conducted through the survey of 1,242 households and 1,335 persons intended for Japanese rural areas. The study result is summarized as follows. The types of the maintenance activities in the areas intended for the survey have been classified into 'rural type' and 'combination type' through the analysis results by the references like the comparison analysis, job percentage and main utilization purpose of facilities for each type of maintenance and operation activities. In case of the 'rural type' area, residents were doing maintenance activities centered on the group activities rather than personal maintenance activities. Also, the activities of maintenance & operation group members were more active than non-members, and the water-friendly utilization to the facilities was not directly affecting the maintenance activities of residents. In case of the 'combinational type' area, there was no common characteristic according to each area, and the participation percentage in the maintenance activities was low compared with the 'rural type' area. According to the analysis result based on the participation degree of personal maintenance activities, the repair of facilities as a naturally favorable water space, implementation of projects reflecting the opinions of residents, educational programs conducted in order to motivate the participation of residents, etc. have been analyzed as the factors affecting the activation of maintenance activities of residents. Through the above results, for continuous maintenance activities to be made with residents as a main body in the future, it is necessary to support maintenance groups on an administrative level and procure experts for the production and operation of programs that can increase the participation percentage of residents.

We examined the ways in which fenobam could promote not only the transduction of PEP-1-FK506BP into cells and tissues but also the neuroprotective effect of PEP-1-FK506BP against ischemic damage. Fenobam strongly enhanced the protective effect of PEP-1-FK506BP against $H_2O_2$-induced toxicity and DNA fragmentation in C6 cells. In addition, combinational treatment of fenobam with PEP-1-FK506BP significantly inhibited the activation of Akt and MAPK induced by $H_2O_2$, compared to treatment with PEP-1-FK506BP alone. Interestingly, our results showed that fenobam significantly increased the transduction of PEP-1-FK506BP into both C6 cells and the hippocampus of gerbil brains. Subsequently, a transient ischemic gerbil model study demonstrated that fenobam pretreatment led to the increased neuroprotection of PEP-1-FK506BP in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Therefore, these results suggest that fenobam can be a useful agent to enhance the transduction of therapeutic PEP-1-fusion proteins into cells and tissues, thereby promoting their neuroprotective effects.

쏘라페닙은 간암 치료제로 승인된 유일한 약이다. 전세계 암환자들의 인삼추출물 사용이 증가 되고 있지만 쏘라페닙과의 상호작용에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 사람의 간암 세포주와 생쥐 모델을 사용하여 쏘라페닙과 인삼추출물의 약물 상호작용을 알아보고자 하였다. 저농도 인삼추출물 투여시 암세포주의 성장과 pERK(phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase)의 증가가 관찰되었고 고농도 투여시 암세포 억제와 pERK 감소가 관찰되었다. 성장 사이클이 없는 세포에서 쏘라페닙의 항암 효과가 감소한 반면 저농도 인삼 투여 시 항암 효능이 증진되어 나타났다. PD98059 (ERK 인산화 억제재)은 효과적으로 ERK 인산화를 억제하여 인삼추출물의 쏘라페닙 감작 작용을 억제시켰다. 생쥐 간암 세포주 모델에서, 저농도 인삼추출물은 다소 암세포 크기를 증가 시켰지만 고농도 투여시 감소시켰다. 그러나, 인삼추출물과 쏘라페닙 동시 투여시 항암 효능은 현저히 증가되었다. 정상조직에서 저농도 인삼에 의해 PERK 증가가 관찰되었으며 이것은 홍삼에 의한 독성 증가와 관련될 것으로 추정되었다. 결론적으로 인삼추출물과 쏘라페닙은 농도에 따라 항암효능을 증가 시킬 수 있음을 보여 주었지만 독성의 가능성도 함께 증가시켰다. 인삼추출물과 쏘라페닙 약물 상호작용에 대한 더 면밀한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
