  • SD계 흰쥐를 사용하여 motor activity 실험에서 동물들의 자발적인 운동성을 측정한 결과, 주어진 시간 내 움직인 시간과 움직인 거리에는 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이군(Def group)과 DHA가 첨가된 식이군(Def +DHA group)간에 유의적 차이를 관찰할 수가 없었다. 학습효과 실험에서 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이군(Def group)의 경우 목적 플래트폼까지 걸리는 시간이 DHA 첨가 식이군(Def +DHA group)에 비하여 유의적으로 길었음을 관찰할 수가 있었다(p<0.05). 수영한 거리(swimming distance)와 수영 속도(swimming speed)의 경우 수영 속도에는 유의적 차이가 없었으나 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이군(Def group)의 경우, DHA 첨가 식이군(Def +DHA group)에 비해 수영 풀에서 움직인 거리가 유의적으로 길었다(p<0.05). 두 식이군의 흰쥐들이 수영한 시간(swimming time)과 쉬고 있는 시간(resting time)의 경우, 쉬는 시간에는 유의적 차이가 없었으나 수영 시간 또한 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이(Def group)로 사육된 쥐가 DHA가 첨가된 식이로 사육된 쥐(Def +DHA group)보다 수영한 시간이 유의적으로 길었다(p<0.05). 기억력 테스트에서 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이군(Def group)의 경우 원래 A 지역에 대한 기억이 낮아서 A 지역을 지나가는 횟수가 다른 지역 B, C, D를 지나는 횟수와 유의적 차이가 없었다. 반면, DHA가 첨가된 식이군(Def +DHA group)의 경우 목적 플래트폼이 있었던 A 지역에 대한 기억으로 다른 지역인 B, C, D보다 지나가는 횟수가 유의적으로 많았음을 관찰하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로부터 임신에서부터 성인이 될 때까지 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이로 사육된 쥐와 비교할 때 DHA가 첨가된 식이로 사육된 흰쥐가 Morris water maze를 이용한 공간기억력 실험에서 우수한 기억 학습효과를 나타냄을 알 수가 있었고 이러한 결과는 n-3와 n-6 지방산의 균형적인 섭취의 중요성을 부각시키고 있다.

  • RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated transcriptional knock-down of Crassostrea gigas big defensin 1 and 2 genes (Cg-BigDef1 and Cg-BigDef2) was investigated. The cDNA sequences of Cg-BigDef1 and Cg-BigDef2 were identical, excluding an additional fragment of 20 nucleotides in Cg-BigDef1; thus, a long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting the mRNA of Cg-BigDef2 effectively downregulated both Cg-BigDef2 and Cg-BigDef1. In addition, long dsRNA targeting green fluorescent protein (GFP) did not affect transcription of the two big defensin genes. These results suggest that the transcriptional downregulation of Cg-BigDef1 and Cg-BigDef2 was mediated by sequence-specific RNA interference (RNAi). Despite injection of long dsRNA targeting Cg-BigDef2 into only the adductor muscle, knock-down of Cg-BigDef1 and Cg-BigDef2 was observed in the adductor muscle, hemocytes, mantle, and gills, suggestive of systemic spread of RNAi in C. gigas. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of dsRNA persisted until 72 h post-injection, indicative of a long-lasting RNAi-mediated knock-down of target genes.

  • 선행된 연구에서 나타난 n-3 지방산 결핍 식이에 DHA 첨가는 뇌 기능 개선효과가 나타났으나 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이에 DHA 첨가는 유의적 뇌 기능 향상효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과에 대한 설명으로 본 연구에서는 필수 지방산 함량이 다른 식이, 즉 n-3 지방산 결핍 및 적절군에 각각 DHA를 첨가하여 뇌 및 간의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. N-3 지방산이 결핍된 식이군(Def)의 체중 및 뇌의 무게는 DHA를 첨가한 식이군(Def+DHA)이나 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이군(Adq) 및 DHA 첨가군(Adq+DHA)에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 뇌의 지방산 조성 결과에서 n-6계 지방산들 중 특히 22:5n-6의 함량이 n-3 지방산 결핍군(Def)에서 현저히 높았으며 20:4n-6 및 22:4n-6의 함량도 이 식이군(Def)에서 높았으나 18:2n-6 및 20:3n-6의 함량은 낮았다(p<0.05). 총 n-3계 지방산 및 22:6n-3의 함량은 예상했듯이 n-3 지방산 결핍군(Def)에서 가장 낮았으며 다른 식이군들과 비교했을 때 약 64% 감소됨을 살펴볼 수가 있었다. 또한 n-6/n-3의 비도 n-3 지방산 결핍군(Def)에서 3.35로 식이군들 중 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 흥미로운 것은 n-3 지방산 결핍에 DHA를 첨가한 식이군(Def+DHA)의 경우, 뇌의 22:6n-3 함량이 13.1%로 n-3 지방산 적절군(Adq) 및 DHA 첨가군(Adq+DHA)과 유의적 차이가 없었다. 간의 지방산 조성 결과에서 뇌의 지방산 조성과 유사하게 n-6 지방산들 중 특히 22:5n-6의 함량이 n-3 지방산 결핍군(Def)에서 현저히 높았으며(p<0.05), n-3 적절군(Adq)의 경우, DHA 첨가군(Adq+DHA)과 비교했을 때 대부분의 n-6계 지방산의 함량이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). N-3 결핍군에 DHA의 첨가군(Def+DHA)은 총 n-3계 지방산 및 22:6n-3의 함량이 n-3 결핍군(Def)에 비해 현저히 높았다(p<0.05). 특히 이 식이군(Def)의 22:6n-6의 함량은 n-3 적절군(Adq) 및 DHA 첨가군(Adq+DHA)보다 더 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 또한 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 동물(Def)의 간에서 18:3n-3의 함량을 거의 찾을 수가 없었으나 DHA 첨가군(Def+DHA)의 경우 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 이는 n-3 지방산 결핍군(Def)의 경우 거의 모든 18:3n-3가 생체 내에서 고도로 불포화된 지방산으로 전환되기 위해 사용된 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로부터 n-3 지방산이 결핍된 군의 경우 DHA 첨가로 인하여 뇌 DHA 함량 증가와 더불어 뇌 기능이 개선되었음을 살펴 볼수가 있었다. 반면 이미 뇌의 DHA가 포화상태인 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이의 경우 DHA의 부가적인 첨가는 뇌기능 향상면에서는 유의적 효과가 나타내지 않았음을 뇌의 지방산 조성으로 확인 할 수가 있었다.

  • Signal detection in symmetric alpha-stable ($S{\alpha}S$) distributed noise is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a detector based on a decreasing exponential function (DEF). The DEF detector can effectively suppress the impulsive noise and achieve good performance in the presence of $S{\alpha}S$ noise. The analytical expressions of the detection and false alarm probabilities of the DEF detector are derived, and the parameter optimization for the detector is discussed. A performance analysis shows that the DEF detector has much lower computational complexity than the Gaussian kernelized energy detector (GKED), and it performs better than the latter in $S{\alpha}S$ noise with small characteristic exponent values. In addition, the DEF detector outperforms the fractional lower order moment (FLOM)-based detector in $S{\alpha}S$ noise for most characteristic exponent values with the same order of magnitude of computational complexity.

  • To analyze the effects of a new unknown peptide DEF on the growth of tumor cells, a fused polypeptide TAT-DV1-DEF was designed and synthesized. The lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82 treated with TAT-DV1-DEF was analyzed with a cell counting kit 8, and the location of polypeptides in cells was observed under laser confocal microscopy. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection and changes in nuclear morphology were analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Finally, the mechanism of tumor cell growth inhibition was evaluated by Western blotting. We found that TAT-DV1-DEF could significantly inhibit the growth of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, but not the normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293. Polypeptides were found to be mostly localized in the cytoplasm and some mitochondria. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection in the two cell types was approximately 99%. Apoptotic nuclei were observed under fluorescence microscopy upon treatment with polypeptides and DAPI staining. Western blot analyses indicated that the polypeptide inhibition of tumor cell growth was apoptosis dependent. In the present study, we demonstrated that fused polypeptides could induce apoptosis of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, indicating that the new unknown peptide DEF has antitumor effects.

  • The Spray-ICP technique uses the ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) of ultra-high temperature which is produced by r.f power. The ICP is well-kwown as a clean heat source for the preparation of pure ceramic particles because the ICP is a electrodeless-thermal plasma without contamination. In this study,{{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} particles were sythesized from metal salt solution by Spray-ICP technique. The effects of concentration of solution, collecting location of powders were investicated. The prepared {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} particles from each concentration of solution had same crystalline phase(tetragonal {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}}) a nd the mean size decreased in proportion to the increase of solution concentration. Each {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} p owders collector in reactor and electrostatic collector had same crystalline phase and morphologies. The mean size of {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} p articles prepared by Spray-ICP technique was below 30nm.

  • In the first paper of this series, [2], we investigated how the conformal change enforces the connections and gave the complete relations between connections in Einstein's $^*g^{{\lambda}{\nu}}$-unified field theory. In the current paper we wish to investigate how the vector def $$S_{{\lambda}{{\mu}}{{^\mu}}{=^{def}}S_{\lambda}$$ is transformed by the conformal change. This topics will be studied for all classes and all possible indices of inertia.

  • This paper presents the new algorithm for fault analysis and the fault analysis package for executing this algorithm. This algorithm obtains requisite term for fault analysis by the two-port network technique. Therefore, the fault calculation time is minimized because ${Y_{BUS}}^{-1}$ calculation time is removed. And, the graphic user environment for fault analysis is implemented in mouse-oriented user interface with window and pull-down menu. Therefore, this package can be a useful tool for fault analysis.

  • New poly(cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene) (PCPP)-based conjugated copolymers, containing carbazole units as pendants, were prepared as the electroluminescent (EL) layer in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to show that most of them have higher maximum brightness and EL efficiency. The prepared polymers, Poly(2,6-(4-(6-(Ncarbazolyl)- hexyl)-4-octyl-4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene)) (CzPCPP10) and Poly(2,6-(4-(6-(N-carbazolyl)- hexyl)-4-octyl-4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene))-co-(2,6-(4,4-dioctyl-4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene)) (CzPCPP7 and CzPCPP5), were soluble in common organic solvents and used as the EL layer in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of configuration with ITO/PEDOT/polymer/Ca/Al device. The polymers are thermally stable with glass transition temperature (Tg) at 77-100 °C and decomposition temperature (Td) at 423-457 °C. The studies of cyclic voltammetry indicated same HOME levels in all polymers, although the ratios of carbazole units are different. In case of PLEDs with configuration of ITO/PEDOT/CzPCPPs/Ca/Al device, The EL maximum peaks were around 450 nm, which the turn-on voltages were about 6.0-6.5 V. The maximum luminescence of PLEDs using CzPCPP10 was over 4400 cd/m2 at 6.5 V, which all of the maximum EL efficiency were 0.12 cd/A. The CIE coordinates of the EL spectrum of PLEDs using CzPCPP10 was (0.18, 0.08), which are quite close to that of the standard blue (0.14, 0.08) of NTSC.
