This study was conducted to determine the effects of prophylactic supplementation of vitamin E and Se on oxidative damage and antioxidant status. Fifteen healthy male buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves between the age of 6 to12 months were divided into three groups of five animals each: Group I-control, group II-endotoxic shock group infused with lyophilized E coli endotoxin @ 5 ${\mu}g$/kg body wt, and group III-supplemented with vitamin E @ 250 mg and Se @ 7.5 mg, one month prior to induction of endotoxic shock. All the animals in group II and group III exhibited signs of endotoxic shock. When the endotoxic shock was induced, there was significant (p<0.05) increase in the circulating levels of malonyl dialdehyde MDA (an indicator of lipid peroxidation). In the supplemented group III the magnitude of formation of MDA was also less as compared to group II at every stage of study. There was significant (p<0.05) decrease in circulating levels of SOD, GSH-Px, Catalase and G-6-PD activity from the normal (0 h) value with passage of time. As a result of endotoxic shock, these values reached a lowest value, and then showed a tendency towards the 0 h value. Prophylactic supplementation with vitamin E and Se was successful in reducing the quantum of oxidative damage due to formation of free radicals because of endotoxic shock.

The magnetization angle and thickness dependence of magnetic anisotropy in the exchange-biased [Pd/Co]${\times}$5/FeMn multilayers with an out-of-plane anisotropy were investigated to determine the origin of perpendicular exchange biasing. As the Co thickness increased to 1.5 nm in the [Pd(0.8 nm)/Co(t)]${\times}$5/FeMn(120 nm) films, the hysteresis loops were converted from square loops at a thin Co (<0.4 nm) to complicated round ones at a thick Co. The irregularly asymmetric step (IAS) at the left top of the loop appeared in the loop of the 0.6-nm Co film due to an inhomogeneity in the exchange anisotropy. As the Pd thickness increased to 1.6 nm, the step disappeared, and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was maximized in the Co thickness between 0.6 and 0.9 nm. The conversion of the magnetization loop along the magnetization angle coincided with the equation $H_{(eff)}=H_o\;cos{\theta}$. The IAS of the 0.8-nm Pd film disappeared after thermal annealing up to $200^{\circ}C$ under an external magnetic field.

A series of Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes bearing N4-type tetradentate ligands, [Ni($X^1X^2$-6-$Me_2bpb$) 1] and [Pd($X^1X^2$-6-$Me_2bpb$) 2]; 6-$Me_2bpb$ = N,N'-(o-phenylene)bis(6-methylpyridine-2-carboxamidate), $X^1$ = Cl, H, or $CH_3$, $X^2$ = $NO_2$, Cl, F, H, $CH_3$, or $OCH_3$) were designed, synthesized, and characterized to investigate electronic and steric effects of ligand on the norbornene polymerization catalysts. Using modified methylaluminoxanes as an activator, the complexes exhibited high catalytic activities for the polymerization of norbornene and the nickel complexes exhibited better catalytic activity the palladium complexes. Ni complex 1a with $NO_2$ group on the benzene ring showed the highest catalytic activity of $4.9{\times}10^6$ g of PNBEs/$mol_{Ni}{\cdot}h$ and molecular weight of $15.28{\times}10^5$ g/mol with PDI < 2.30. Complexes with electron-withdrawing groups are more thermally stable (> 100 $^{\circ}C$), and tend to afford higher polymerization productivities than the ones having electron-donating groups. Amorphous polynorbornenes were obtained with good solubility in halogenated aromatic solvents. A vinyl addition mechanism has been proposed for the catalytic polymerization.

We conducted a study to compare the safety and tolerability of anti-relapse drugs elubaquine and primaquine against Plasmodium vivax malaria. After standard therapy with chloroquine, 30 mg/kg given over 3 days, 141 patients with P. vivax infection were randomized to receive primaquine or elubaquine. The 2 treatment regimens were primaquine 30 mg once daily for 7 days (group A, n = 71), and elubaquine 25 mg once daily for 7 days (group B, n = 70). All patients cleared parasitemia within 7 days after chloroquine treatment. Among patients treated with primaquine, one patient relapsed on day 26; no relapse occurred with elubaquine treatement. Both drugs were well tolerated. Adverse effects occurred only in patients with G6PD deficiency who were treated with primaquine (group A, n = 4), whose mean hematocrit fell significantly on days 7,8 and 9 (P= 0.015, 0.027, and 0.048, respectively). No significant change in hematocrit was observed in patients with G6PD deficiency who were treated with elubaquine (group B, n = 3) or in patients with normal G6PD. In conclusion, elubaquine, as anti-relapse therapy for P. vivax malaria, was as safe and well tolerated as primaquine and did not cause clinically significant hemolysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of decreased locomotor activity on mass, Type I and II fiber cross-sectional areas of ipsilateral and contralateral hindlimb muscles 21 days after establishing the Parkinson's disease rat model. Methods: The rat model was established by direct injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 50 ${mu}g$) into the left substantia nigra after stereotaxic surgery. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of two groups; the Parkinson's disease group (PD; n=17) and a sham group (S; n=8). Locomotor activity was assessed before and 21 days after the experiment. At 22 days after establishing the rat model, all rats were anesthetized and soleus and plantaris muscles were dissected from both ipsilateral and contralateral sides. The brain was dissected to identify dopaminergic neuronal death of substantia nigra in the PD group. Results: The PD group at 21 days after establishing the Parkinson's disease rat model showed significant decrease in locomotor activity compared with the S group. Weights and Type I and II fiber cross-sectional areas of the contralateral soleus muscle of the PD group were significantly lower than those of the S group. Conclusion: Contralateral soleus muscle atrophy occurs 21 days after establishing the Parkinson's disease rat model.

In this paper, two methods of making the Pd-added $SnO_2$ ($Pd-SnO_2$) powder with pure tetragonal phase by the hydrazine method were suggested and compared in terms of crystal structure, surface morphology, and alcohol gas response. One of the addition methods is to use $PdCl_2$ as a Pd source, the other is to use Pd-based organic with oleylamine (OAM). When Pd concentration was increased from 0 to 5 wt%, the average grain size of $Pd-SnO_2$ made with Pd-OAM were decreased from 32 to 12 nm. In the case of using with $PdCl_2$, grain size of the $PdCl_2$ fell to less than 10 nm. However, agglomerated and extruded surface morphology was observed for the films with Pd addition over 4 wt%. The crack-free $Pd-SnO_2$ thick films were able to successfully fill the $30{\mu}m$ gap of patterned Pt electrodes by optimized ink dropping method. Also, the 2 wt% $Pd-SnO_2$ thick film made with PdCl2 showed gas responses ($R_{air}/R_{gas}$) of 3.7, 5.7 and 9.0 at alcohol concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 ppm, respectively. On the other hand, the prepared 3 wt% $Pd-SnO_2$ thick film with Pd-OAM exhibited very excellent responses of 3.4, 6.8 and 12.2 at the equivalent measurement conditions, respectively. The 3 wt% $Pd-SnO_2$ thick film with Pd-OAM has a specific surface area of $31.39m^2/g$.

방울토마토의 포장에 적합한 필름을 선택하기 위하여 기체 투과도가 다른 여러 가지 필름으로 방울토마토를 포장하고 저장하면서 포장내 기체 농도, 총균수, 효모 및 곰팡이 수, 중량 감소율, 부패율 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같았다. CPP와 PD961로 포장한 시험 구는 저장 기간 동안 계속 적으로 산소와 이산화탄소 농도가 계속적으로 변화하였으나 다른 포장재로 포장한 시험구는 저장 10일 경에 대체적으로 평형에 도달하였다. 저장 기간 중 중량 감소율은 PY85로 포장한 시험구가 가장 현저하였으며 다른 포장재로 포장한 시험구는 저장 20일까지도 1% 부근이었다. 포장 직후의 총 균 수는 $10^4$ CFU/g 부근이었으며, 이들은 대부분 곰팡이나 효모인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 저장 기간이 경과함에 따라서 대체적으로 미생물의 수는 증가하였다. CPP로 포장한 시험구는 저장 5일에는 총균수, 효모 및 곰팡이 수가 가장 적었으나 10일 이후에는 가장 많았으며, 저장 20일에는 총균수가 $10^{8}$ CFU/g이었으며, 효모 및 곰팡이 수는 $10^{7.97}$ CFU/g 이었다. 저장 기간 중 pH는 대체적으로 증가하였으며, 총산 및 가용성 고형물은 큰 변화가 없으나 대체적으로 감소하였다. 단지 PY85로 포장한 시험구는 저장 기간동안 지속적으로 총산과 가용성 고형물이 증가하였다. 저장 5일 이후에는MPD와 PY85를 제외한 시험구에서 부패가 발생하기 시작하였으며, CPP와 PD961로 포장한 시험구의 부패율이 대체적으로 높았다. MPD는 저장 20일에도 5.3%의 가장 낮은 부패율을 보였다.다.

The variation of Jahn-Teller(J-T) distortion imposed on various metallo- tetraphenylporphyrins(MTPPS;M=ZnⅡ,PdⅡ,PtⅡ,and RhⅢ) has been investigated by time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. B1g and B2g modes of the triplet(π,π*) states for the heavy-metal porphyrins exhibit the enhancement of their intensities compared with those of 3ZnⅢTPP, while the enhancement of phenyl internal mode is reduced. These results suggest that the J-T distortion becomes manifest as the metal size increases, and consequently the porphyrin-to-phenyl ring charge transfer in the excited triplet state is inhibited.

고추냉이를 잎, 엽병 및 혼합한 전체 등으로 나누어 잎 열풍건조(LD), 엽병 열풍건조(PD), 전체 열풍건조(WD), 잎 증숙 열풍건조(LSD), 엽병 증숙 열풍건조(PSD), 전체 증숙 열풍건조(WSD) 등으로 구분하여 상온($20^{\circ}C$) 추출액, 열수($95^{\circ}C$) 추출액 등 6종 시료에 대하여 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 탁도와 갈변도는 각각 상온 추출과 증숙하지 않은 잎에서 더욱 높았다. pH는 열수 추출액이 상온 추출액보다 대체로 낮은 값을 나타냈다. Hunter 색도값인 L, a, b 값은 다소 차이는 있었으나 황색도인 b값은 잎이 줄기보다 유의적으로 아주 높게 나타났다. 카바졸 펙틴은 잎에서, 수용성 펙틴은 엽병에서 각각 함량이 높게 나타났다. 총폴리페놀 함량은 잎의 경우 LD20, LD95 각각 1,561.43 mg GAE/100 g, 1,163.02 mg GAE/100 g을 보여 열수 추출로 많이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 총플라보노이드는 엽병의 경우 추출온도별 유의적인 함량 차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 관능검사 결과 추출액 LD95 값이 색, 향, 맛, 입안 촉감, 종합적 기호도 등 각 항목에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 전자혀에 의한 신맛, 짠맛, 감칠맛, 단맛 및 쓴맛을 분석한 결과 신맛은 LD20, PSD95, 짠맛은 WSD20, WSD95, 감칠맛은 PD20, PD95에서 각각 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 고추냉이 잎과 엽병을 이용한 추출액은 부위별 단독보다 병용하여 사용 시 품질 특성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
