Some multidrug resistance inhibitors have been known to be influenced by the serum concentration. In this study, effect of serum concentration on inhibition of nucleoside transport by BIBW22, a new multidrug resistance inhibitor derived from dipyridamole (DPM), was studied. When 5% or 100% (v/v) of fetal bovine serum (FBS) was contained in the culture, DPM dose for which nucleoside transport was inhibited by 50% (lD$_{50}$) was 0.42 $\mu$M or 1.17 $\mu$M, respectively. BIBW22 also showed the same trend as DPM did in response to increase of FBS concentration. However, ID$_{50}$ value for DPM in the absence or presence of human plasma was 0.007 $\mu$M or 1.02 $\mu$M respectively showing 145 times increase of ID$_{50}$ value. ID$_{50}$ value for BIBW22 in the presence of human plasma was 0.028 $\mu$M showing only 5 times increase in ID$_{50}$ value. This result suggests that potency of BIBW22 was much less affected by the plasma concentration and BIBW22 could be a good candidate for a clinical use in multidrug resistance treatment.treatment.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of alterations in water temperature (WT) on biochemical and immunological factors in the hemolymph of the abalones, Haliotis gigantea and H. discus discus. The abalone were exposed to various WT; 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and $28^{\circ}C$ for 96 hours. In biochemical factors, total-protein (TP), glucose, magnesium (Mg), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were not significant changes in hemolymph of H. gigantea and H. discus discus. But calcium was significantly increased by high WT (${\geq}24^{\circ}C$). In immunological factor, The phenoloxidase (PO) activity was decreased in hemolymph of H. gigantea and H. discus discus exposed to high temperature (${\geq}22^{\circ}C$) compared to the control (P < 0.05). Whereas alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was not significantly changed. These results suggested that high temperature adversely affects the immunity of H. gigantea and H. discus discus.

A new moderate thermophilic bacterial strain DG-22 which produces thermostable xylanase was isolated from a timber yard soil in Kyungju, Korea. On the basis of morphological, biochemical and phylogenetic studies the new isolate was identified as a Paenibacillus species. Production of xylanase in this strain was strongly induced by adding xylan to the growth medium and repressed by glucose or xylose. No cellulase activity was detected. The temperature and pH for optimum activity were 8$0^{\circ}C$ and 5.0-5.5, respectively. The crude xylanase was stable at $60^{\circ}C$ and retained 60% of initial activity after 2h at $70^{\circ}C$. Zymogram analysis of the culture supernatant showed two xylanase active bands with molecular masses of 22 and 30 kDa.

The effect of micro-pulse plasma nitriding temperature and time on the case thickness, hardness and nitride formation in the surface of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloy with 3% Co and 1% Ti alloys elements investigated. External compound layer and internal diffusion layer was constituted in plasma nitride case of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys and formed nitride phase such as ${\gamma}'-Fe4N\;and\;{\varepsilon}-Fe2-3N$. Case depth increased with increasing the plasma nitriding temperature and time. Surface hardness of nitrided Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys obtained the above value of Hv 1,600 and case depth obtained the above value of $45{\mu}m$ in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy and $60{\mu}m$ in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy. Wear-resistance increased with increasing plasma nitriding time and showing the higher value in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy than Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy.

A 27-year-old pregnant woman who had one son with mental and growh retardation and dysmorphic features, was referred for genetic counselling. Cytogenetic investigations revealed 4/22 translocation in the mother(46, XX, t(4;22)(p14;P11)), partial trisomy 4p in son(46, XY, -22, +der(22), t(4;22)(p14;p11)mat). The father had normal karyotype. Amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling were performed in 3 successive pregnancies. The karyotypes of fetus in 3rd, 4th pregnancies by amniocentesis were 46, XX, t(4;22)(p14;p11) and 46, XX, t(4;22) (p14;p11), and the karyotype of fetus in 5th pregnancy by chorionic villi sampling was found to be 46, XX, -22, +der(22) t(4;22)(p14;p11)mat. We report 3 succesive prenatally diagnosed familial partial trisomy 4p and 4/22 translocation of maternal origin with review of literature.

The cellular mechanisms that contribute to the acceleration of atherosclerosis in diabetes are poorly understood. Therefore, the potential mechanisms involved in the diabetes-dependent increase in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation was investigated. Using primary culture of VSMC from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat aorta, cell proliferation assay showed two-fold increase in cell number accompanied with enhanced superoxide generation compared to normal VSMC, 2 days after plating. Both the increased superoxide production and cell proliferation in diabetic VSMC were significantly attenuated by not only tiron (1 mM), a superoxide scavenger, but also by diphenyleneiodonium (DPI; $10{\mu}M$), an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor. NAD(P)H oxidase activity in diabetic VSMC was significantly higher than that in control cell, accompanied with increased mRNA expression of p22phox, a membrane subunit of oxidase. Furthermore, inhibition of p22phox expression by transfection of antisense p22phox oligonucleotides into diabetic VSMC resulted in a decrease in superoxide production, which was accompanied by a significant inhibition of cell proliferation. Based on these results, it is suggested that diabetes-associated increase in NAD(P)H oxidase activity via enhanced expression of p22phox contributes to augmented VSMC proliferation in diabetic rats.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with para-substituted phenylsilanes such as F-C6H4SiH3 (1), H3C-C6H4SiH3 (2), and H3CO-C6H4SiH3 (3) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s containing the respective silyl moiety as an end group. For all the hydrosilanes, the polymerization yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased, whereas the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of Si-H IR stretching bands increased as the relative silane concentration over MMA increased. The polymerization yields and polymer molecular weights of MMA with 1-3 increased in the order of 3 < 1 < 2. These hydrosilanes influence significantly upon the photopolymerization of MMA as both chain-initiation and chain-transfer agents.

This study aimed to investigate the growth and phenol content changes of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under five different light intensities and photoperiods, maintaining the same Daily Light Integral (DLI) conditions in a plant factory. Basil seeds were sown on a rockwool medium for four weeks and then transplanted. To maintain a DLI 17mol·m^-2·d^-1, light intensity and photoperiod were set at 16h-295, 18h-260, 20h-235, 22h-215, and 24h-200μmol·m^-2·s^-1 and cultivated for four weeks. The harvested results showed that basil plant height, number of lateral branches, and leaf number tended to decrease from the 16h-295 treatment to the 24h-200 treatment. Shoot fresh weight, dry weight, leaf area, leaf width, and leaf length were significantly higher in the 18 h-260 treatment. The total phenolic contents in the 18h-260 treatment was significantly higher by 51.3%, 172.7%, 111%, and 119.7% compared to the 16h-295, 20h-235, 22h-215, and 24h-200 treatments, respectively. Therefore, it is anticipated that cultivating basil under the condition of 18h-260 treatment could yield enhanced growth quality and an increase in total phenolic contents.
