During the lactation cycle of the bovine mammary gland, autophagy is induced in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) as a cellular homeostasis and survival mechanism. Interferon gamma ($IFN-{\gamma}$) is an important antiproliferative and apoptogenic factor that has been shown to induce autophagy in multiple cell lines in vitro. However, it remains unclear whether $IFN-{\gamma}$ can induce autophagy and whether autophagy affects milk synthesis in BMECs. To understand whether $IFN-{\gamma}$ affects milk synthesis, we isolated and purified primary BMECs and investigated the effect of $IFN-{\gamma}$ on milk synthesis in primary BMECs in vitro. The results showed that $IFN-{\gamma}$ significantly inhibits milk synthesis and that autophagy was clearly induced in primary BMECs in vitro within 24 h. Interestingly, autophagy was observed following $IFN-{\gamma}$ treatment, and the inhibition of autophagy can improve milk protein and milk fat synthesis. Conversely, upregulation of autophagy decreased milk synthesis. Furthermore, mechanistic analysis confirmed that $IFN-{\gamma}$ mediated autophagy by depleting arginine and inhibiting the general control nonderepressible-2 kinase (GCN2)/eukaryotic initiation factor $2{\alpha}$ ($eIF2{\alpha}$) signaling pathway in BMECs. Then, it was found that arginine supplementation could attenuate $IFN-{\gamma}$-induced autophagy and recover milk synthesis to some extent. These findings may not only provide a novel measure for preventing the $IFN-{\gamma}$-induced decrease in milk quality but also a useful therapeutic approach for $IFN-{\gamma}$-associated breast diseases in other animals and humans.

TRIGA Mark II와 III 원자로의 여러가지 가동조건에 있어서 노벽으로 부터의 누설 ${\gamma}$선에 의한 조사선양률을 3"$\times$3"원통형 NaI(T1) 섬광계수기와 400 channel파 고분석장치로 측정하였는데 측정된 spectrum으로부터 조사선양률을 산출하는데는 실제적면에서 복잡하기 짝이 없는 response matrix 방법대신 정도가 좋으면서도 비교적 그 과정이 단순한 Moriuchi의 specturm -조사선양률 환산 이론을 적용하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 노심에서 발생된 누설 ${\gamma}$선의 기본적인 spectrum 형태는 원자로의 열출력이나 차장벽에 의한 강도의 감쇠에 별로 영향을 받지 않고 있으며 원자로 누설${\gamma}$선에 의란 전조사선양률의 공기중에서의 감쇠는 폭 넓은 energy분포에도 불구하고 지수함수적 감쇠를 하고 있음이 판명되있다. 이 전조사선양률은 원자로의 열출력에 대체로 비례하고 있으나 TRIGA Mark III과 같은 가동형노심의 경우는 측정된 spectrum이 매우 다양한바, 그로부터 산출된 전조사선양률의 크기에는 관계없이, spectrum 분해방법을 적용하여 노심에서 발생된 누설 ${\gamma}$선과 원자로가동중 발생되는 여지 ${\gamma}$선의 기여를 판별 해석하는데 성공하였다.

To evaluate the radiation degradation of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), radiation effects on EPR were investigated by using dielectric analysis and thermal-gravimetric analysis. Permittivity, loss factor, tan$\delta$, and thermal decomposition temperature were observed for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR. As the radiation dose was increased, the peak temperature of the loss factor and tans of EPR were increased and loss factor and tan$\delta$ at peak temperature were decreased. Activation energies were calculated using loss factor and thermal decomposition for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR as well. The trends of both calculated activation energies showed the same tendencies as radiation dose was increased.

Background: The generalized gamma distribution statistics constitute an extensive family that contains nearly all of the most commonly used distributions including the exponential, Weibull and log normal. A saturated version of the model allows covariates having effects through all the parameters of survival time distribution. Accelerated failure-time models assume that only one parameter of the distribution depends on the covariates. Methods: We fitted both the conventional GG model and the saturated form for each of its members including the Weibull and lognormal distribution; and compared them using likelihood ratios. To compare the selected parameter distribution with log logistic distribution which is a famous distribution in survival analysis that is not included in generalized gamma family, we used the Akaike information criterion (AIC; r=l(b)-2p). All models were fitted using data for 369 women age 50 years or more, diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in BC during 1990-1999 and followed to 2010. Results: In both conventional and saturated parametric models, the lognormal was the best candidate among the GG family members; also, the lognormal fitted better than log-logistic distribution. By the conventional GG model, the variables "surgery", "radiotherapy", "hormone therapy", "erposneg" and interaction between "hormone therapy" and "erposneg" are significant. In the AFT model, we estimated the relative time for these variables. By the saturated GG model, similar significant variables are selected. Estimating the relative times in different percentiles of extended model illustrate the pattern in which the relative survival time change during the time. Conclusions: The advantage of using the generalized gamma distribution is that it facilitates estimating a model with improved fit over the standard Weibull or lognormal distributions. Alternatively, the generalized F family of distributions might be considered, of which the generalized gamma distribution is a member and also includes the commonly used log-logistic distribution.

The effect of austenitizing temperature on the degree of carbides re-solutionizing, mean graine size, hardness and the volume fraction of retaind austenite ($V_{\gamma}$) etc., has been studied by means of metallography, X-ray diffractometry and hardness measurement in STD 11 tool steel. As austenitizing temperature increases, the amount of alloying elements which is re-dissolved into matrix increases, resulting in increase of $V_{\gamma}$, due to the chemical stabilization of austenite. The Vickers hardness value decreases with increasing austenitizing temperature, which is attributed to grain size as well the volume fractions of $V_{\gamma}$ and carbides. Theoretical diffraction intensity of (200) ${\alpha}^{\prime}$, (211) ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ (200) ${\gamma}$ and (220) ${\gamma}$ peaks obtained by $CuK_{\alpha}$ chracteristics X-ray (${\lambda}=0.15429nm$) was calculated, and quantitative analysis of $V_{\gamma}$ could be carried out by X-ray diffraction method. The resultant value is well coincided with the value obtained by image analysis method. When the quenched specimen is tempered above $200{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, the transition carbides i.e., MC and $M_2C$ in the size of about 20 nm begin to precipitate at $300^{\circ}C$.
