  • The hepatoprotective effects of water extracts composed of Adenophora triphylla var japonica Hara (ATJH) on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in vivo and in vivo. The effects of ATJH on liver toxicity induced by APAP were assessed by blood biochemical and histopathological analyses. APAP treatment (350 mg/kg) caused severe liver injury in mice as indicated by their significantly elevated plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. Pretreatment with ATJH for 3 or 7 days attenuated the increases in ALT and AST when challenged with APAP. The reductions in viability caused by high dose of APAP (450 mg/kg) in vivo were reversed by pretreatment with ATJH. These protective effects of ATJH against APAP-induced toxicity were consistent with the results from the histopathological examinations. We next examined the effects of ATJH on the gene expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) that detoxify the metabolic intermediates of APAP in H4IIE cells. The hepatic GST protein levels [$\alpha$ class (GSTA2, GSTA3/5)] were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner by ATJH treatment. In summary, ATJH is effective at protecting against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by GST induction, implying that ATJH should be considered a potential chemopreventive agent.

  • This study investigated the quality of muffin prepared with various concentrations of freeze dried-perilla leaves (Perilla frutescens var. japonica HARA) powder. Muffin was prepared by addition of 0, 3, 6 and 9% powder to the flour of basic formulation. The weight of muffin decreased with increase in freeze dried-perilla leaves powder concentration, but no constant tendency in the bottom and upper dimensions by its addition was found. The height and baking loss rate of the muffin increased with increase in the powder concentration but with no significant differences. Lightness and yellowness of muffin decreased as the concentration of the powder increased, whereas no significant differences in the redness was found with increased powder concentration. The hardness of muffin increased, and springiness decreased with increase in the powder concentration, although not significant. The cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness showed no consistent tendency by addition of the powder. The antioxidative activity measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of muffin increased as the concentration of the powder increased. The muffin contained 0~6% freeze dried-perilla leaves powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, taste, and overall acceptability. Results indicated that optimal concentration of freeze dried-perilla leaves powder into the muffin formula was 3~6% (w/w).

  • Autonomous vehicles are equipped with a wide rage of sensors such as GPS, RADAR, LIDAR, camera, IMU, etc. and are driven by recognizing and judging various transportation systems at intersections in the city. The accident ratio of the intersection of the autonomous vehicles is 88% of all accidents due to the limitation of prediction and judgment of an area outside the sensing distance. Not only research on non-signalized intersection collision avoidance strategies through V2V and V2I is underway, but also research on safe intersection driving in failure situations is underway, but verification and fragments through simple intersection scenarios Only typical V2V failures are presented. In this paper, we analyzed the architecture of the V2V module, analyzed the causal factors for each V2V module, and defined the failure mode. We presented intersection scenarios for various road conditions and traffic volumes. we used the ISO-26262 Part3 Process and performed HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) to analyze the risk of autonomous vehicle based on the simulation. We presented ASIL, which is the result of risk analysis, proposed a monitoring concept for each component of the V2V module, and presented monitoring coverage.

  • The chemical constituents of Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. var. leiolepsis Hara (Cyperaceae) were studied. From the chloroform and n-butanol soluble fractions, five compounds were isolated by chromatographic purification process. They were identified as ${\beta}-sitostenone$, ergosterol peroxide, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, ${\beta}-sitosteryl$-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyanoside and vitexin, respectively. This is the first report of the identification of ${\beta}-sitostenone$, ergosterol peroxide from Cyperaceae.
