The aim of this study is the optimization of the parameters of interconnected Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension system of a three-axle vehicle for ride comfort and handling. For HP suspension systems of equivalent vertical stiffness and damping characteristics, interconnected HP suspension systems increase roll and pitch stiffness and damping characteristics of the vehicle as compared to unconnected HP suspension systems. Thus, they result in improved handling and braking/acceleration performances of the vehicle. However, increased roll and pitch stiffness and damping characteristics also increase roll and pitch accelerations, which in turn result in degraded ride comfort performance. Therefore, in order to improve both ride comfort and vehicle handling performances simultaneously, an optimum parameter set of an interconnected HP suspension system is obtained through an optimization procedure. The objective function is formed as the sum of the weighted vertical accelerations according to ISO 2631. The roll angle, one of the important measures of vehicle handling and driving safety, is imposed as a constraint in the optimization study. Upper and lower parameter bounds are used in the optimization in order to get a physically realizable parameter set. Optimization procedure is implemented for a three-axle vehicle with unconnected and interconnected suspension systems separately. Optimization results show that interconnected HP suspension system results in improvements in both ride comfort and vehicle handling performance, as compared to the unconnected suspension system. As a result, interconnected HP suspension systems present a solution to the conflict between ride comfort and vehicle handling which is present in unconnected suspension systems.

본 연구에서는 기아상태에 있는 토양 미생물, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes cell의 2-hydroxypyridine대사능력의 변화 와 이 미생물의 대사능력에 대한 부식산의 영향에 대해 다루어졌다. 기질 2-HP에 대한 대수기 세포(exponential phase cell)는 적응기 세포(lag phase cell)와 비교할 때 기아상태에 있어서도 더 높은 2-HP대사능력을 보여 기아상태 3일 후 대수기 세포에서 2-HP반감기는 14시간으로 나타난 반면 적응기 세포의 경우 46.5시간으로 나타났다. 부식산은 기아상태에서 이 미생물 세포의 유도효소, 2-HP monooxygenase의 안정성을 높여주어 기아시간 2일 후 표준조건에서 기아상태에 있던 미생물의 효소활성이 처음의 1.5%로 남아 있는 반면 0.2% 부식산 용액에서 기아상태로 있던 미생물의 효소활성은 12%까지 남아 있었다. 기아시간 14일 후 까지도 부식산 용액 속에서 기아상태로 있던 이 미생물 세포의 2-HP대사능력은 표준 조건의 것에 비해 월등히 높아 2-HP반감기를 비교해 보면 표준 조건의 경우 43시간인 반면 부식산의 경우 1.25시간으로 나타났다.

The plasma membrane and microsomes, isolated from the cells treated with hematoporphyrm derivative (HpD) for 1 and 24 h, accumulated the aggregated porphyrin. The quantity of aggregated porphyrin was same in the plasma membrane and microsomes after isolating them from cells treated with HpD for 1 h whereas the microsomes accumulated higher quantity of aggregated porphyrin when cells were treated with HpD for 24 h. Photodynamic action of aggregated porphyrin on plasma membrane and microsomes was investigated using lipid specific fluorescent probes: 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrine (DPH) and 1-(4-trimethylammonium), 6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrine(TMA-DPH). The time dependent anisotropy of these probes in the membranes was measured and the decay of anisotropy was analyzed using wobbling in cone model. Upon irradiation both the plasma membrane and the microsomes showed an increase in the limiting anis~)tropy and order parameter and a decrease in the cone angle of the lipid probes. The increase in the limiting anisotropy was pronounced in membranes isolated from the cells treated with HpD for 24 h. Photoinduced change in the limiting anisotropy was dependent on the duration of incubation of cells with HpD before isolating the membranes. In both the membranes. the membrane core was affected more as compared to the outer leaflet. In addition to the structural changes, a decrease in Na$^+$-K$^+$-ATPase and NADPH cyt c reductase activity was also observed upon irradiation of HpD treated cells. Inhibition in NADPH cyt c reductase was more when cells were treated with HpD for 24 h, however, Na$^+$-K$^+$-ATPase activity did not depend on the duration of the treatment of cells with HpD before irradiation. Our results suggest that the extent of photoinduced perturbations in the membranes varies as a function of duration of the treatment of cells with HpD and the membrane core is more susceptible to the photodynamic action of aggregated porphyrin.

목 적 : 신속 요소분해효소 검사는 H. pylori 감염 진단에 있어서 위내시경 검사가 시행되는 병원에서 우선적으로 시행되는 검사이다. 또한 위내시경상 검사상 결절성 위염을 보이는 경우 H. pylori 감염 빈도 가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 위내시경 소견인 결절성 위염의 진단적 의의와 신속 요소분해 효소 검사인 CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 양성 반응 시간별 검출률을 전향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 방 법: 1999년 7월부터 2000년 5월까지 연세대학교 세브란스병원 소아과에서 상복부 동통을 주소로 위내시경 검사를 시행받은 환아 212례를 대상으로 위전정부, 위체부에서 각각 3회씩 조직 생검을 시행하였고 각각 1조각씩 CLO 검사, HpKit 검사 및 조직 검사에 이용하였다. CLO 및 HpKit 검사는 생검조직의 양성 반응 시간을 각각 15분, 30분, 1시간, 2시간, 3시간, 24시간에 따라 나누어 판독하였고, 24시간 이후는 CLO 검사의 경우 6일째까지, HpKit 검사의 경우 5일째까지 판독하였다. 생검 조직의 Hematoxylineeosin 염색 또는 Alcian-yellow 염색을 기준지표로 하여 결절성 위염, CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 예민도, 특이도, 양성기대치 및 음성기대치를 구하였다. 결 과: 일반적 판정 기준 시간인 3시간째 판정한 CLO 검사의 진단적 예민도는 68.4%, 특이도는 100%였고, HpKit 검사는 위전정부 및 위체부에서 시행한 경우 진단 예민도는 모두 65.8%, 특이도는 100%였으며, CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 예민도와 특이도 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). CLO 검사와 HpKit 검사에서 검체와의 반응 후 시간 경과에 따른 양성률은 CLO 검사의 경우 24시간 경과시에는 예민도와 특이도가 각각 73.7% 및 99.4%로 특이도에 큰 변화 없이 예민도가 점차 증가하였고, 144시간(6일)째에도 특이도는 94.8%로 다소 감소하였으나 예민도는 89.5%로 3시간이나 24시간째와 비교하여 현저히 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. HpKit 검사는 위전정부의 경우(HpKit-A) 24시간 경과시 예민도는 68.4%로 3시간 경과시에 비하여 3% 정도 증가하였으나 특이도는 91.4%로 9% 정도 감소하였고, 120시간(5일) 경과시는 예민도는 86.8%로 증가하였으나 특이도는 59.2%로 현저히 감소하였다. 위체부의 경우(HpKit-B) 24시간 경과시 예민도는 3시간 경과시에 비하여 65.8%로 변화가 없었으나 특이도는 97.1%로 3% 정도 감소하였고, 120시간(5일) 경과시는 예민도는 84.2%로 증가하였으나 특이도는 77.0%로 현저히 감소하였다. 또한 24시간 경과시 위전정부와 위체부의 예민도는 각각 68.4% 및 65.8%로 비슷하였으나 특이도는 각각 91.4% 및 97.1%로 위체부의 특이도가 전정부보다 높았다. 내시경 소견상 결절성 위염의 H. pylori 감염의 예민도와 특이도는 각각 78.9% 및 93.7%로 CLO 검사 및 HpKit 검사보다 예민도는 더 높고 특이도는 비슷하였다. 결 론: CLO 검사와 HpKit 검사는 3시간 이내에 신속히 판정을 요구하는 경우 매우 예민하고 특이도가 우수한 검사 방법이나 소아의 경우 3시간째의 예민도가 너무 낮기 때문에 CLO 검사는 6일 지나서 판정함으로서 높은 예민도를 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 결절성 위염의 위내시경 소견은 신속 요소분해효소 검사가 유용하지 않을 경우 H. pylori 감염을 진단할 수 있는 좋은 지표가 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of hydrophilic polymer (HP) mixture ratio (Control, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10.0%) on growth of eggplant (Solanum melongena) for lower maintenance urban agriculture via green roofs. Although it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), substrate temperature was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio were increased. High substrate water content (95%) was found consistently in growing media under elevated hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio at over 5% during the entire growing period. Substrate electronic conductivity was increased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio were increased. Growth index was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. It was reduced about 1/3 and 1/5 compared to that of Control in HP5.0 and HP10.0 treatment plants, respectively. Number of leaves, leaf length, and leaf width were decreased in following order: Control> HP1.0> HP2.5> HP5.0> HP10.0 treatments. There numbers were significantly lower in HP5.0 and HP10.0 treatment plants. Dry weight of shoot and root were decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. They were reduced by 1/4 compared to those of Control treatment plants. In addition, visual value was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. Plants grown in HP1.0, HP2.5, and HP5.0 treatments all survived. However, plants grown in the HP10.0 treatment had the lowest survival rate (56%) after 3 months of growing. These results indicate that the advantage of adding hydrophilic polymer to green roof growing media may greater during dry periods. However, the proper mixture proportion of hydrophilic polymer should be determined according to different characteristics of growing media and plant species.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal cooking conditions for brown rice using an electric pressure rice cooker. The effects of steeping conditions and cooking pressure on the hydration, gelatinization, texture and palatable properties of cooked brown rice were evaluated. Based on water uptake and DSC data, the optimal steeping time and temperature for brown rice were determined to be 25 minutes and ${\sim}60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The cooking conditions for brown rice were then divided into the following 6 categories: steeping at $25^{\circ}C$ for 25 minutes and cooking at an atmospheric pressure of 1.7 (25P) or 1.9 (25HP), steeping at $57^{\circ}C$ for 25 minutes and cooking at an atmospheric pressure of 1.7 (57P) or 1.9 (57HP), steeping at $85^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes and cooking at an atmospheric pressure of 1.7 (85P) or 1.9 (85HP). The susceptibility of cooked brown rice starch to degradation into maltose by ${\alpha}$-amylase, which is related to the degree of gelatinization and in vitro digestibility, were then determined. The amount of maltose produced by cooked brown rice samples was highest in the 57HP group, followed by the 57P and 85HP groups. Storing cooked brown rice at $73^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours resulted in significantly higher amounts of starch being degraded into maltose in the 57P, 57HP and 85HP groups than in the other groups. Textural analysis demonstrated that the 57P, 57HP and 85HP groups had significantly lower gumminess and chewiness values when compared to the other groups, and that 57HP received had the lowest hardness of all treatments. These results were confirmed by the results of the sensory evaluations. Furthermore, the 57P and 57HP groups were found to have a higher glossiness, stickiness aroma and taste score than the other groups. These findings were taken to indicate that steeping conditions and pressure exerted a positive synergistic effect on the cooking quality of brown rice. The texture analyzer also revealed that storing the cooked rice at $73^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours only led to significantly lower scores in gumminess, hardness and chewiness in the 57P and 57HP groups, which indicates that these groups underwent a lesser degree of retrogradation than other groups. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrate that steeping brown rice at $57^{\circ}C$ for 25 minutes and a higher cooking pressure improved the palatability and in vitro digestibility of brown rice significantly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxicity of hematoporphyrin-coated magnetic ferrofluid (HP-MF) through intravenous administration in Sprague-Dawley rats. Each group was treated with either saline, or the HP-MF at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 ml/kg body weight (b.w.) for the observation of survival rate, clinical symptoms, laboratory values and histopathological findings. In this study, HP-MF was evaluated for the survival rates, symptoms, laboratory values and histopathological examination after treatments. The result revealed that the animals in the group of HP-MF at 2 and 4 ml/kg b.w. showed some lethality. In serum biochemistry, the levels of AST, ALT and ALP were increased in the MF and HP-MF treated groups. However, histopathological examination for the suspected organs showed no evidence of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of typical iron poisoning. Though the toxicity of HP-MF was higher than that of HP, long retention of hematoporphyrin via HP-MF provides additional benefit over conventional hematoporphyrin. HP-MF could be utilized as a potential photodynamic agent in cancer therapy. It is suggested to develop an efficient external magnetic device to attract hematoporphyrin in the target site, thereby enabling to administering a small amount of HP-MF.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disorder of the periodontium, characterized by destruction of the tooth supporting tissues including alveolar bone and mediated by various pro-inflammatory mediators. Here, we demonstrated that HP08-0106, composed of four crude drugs-Gardenia jasminoides Grandiflora, Angelica gigas Nakai, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Schizonepeta tenuifolia in a weight ratio of 2:2:1:2, perturbs inflammatory responses, osteoclast formation in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and alveolar bone resorption in ligature-induced periodontitis. HP08-0106 decreased the protein level of iNOS and COX2 as well as the secreted level of IL-$1{\beta}$, indicating that HP08-0106 has antiinflammatory effects. HP08-0106 also inhibited the expression of genes associated with osteoclastogenesis including c-Fos, MMP-9 and TRAP. Moreover, HP08-0106 exhibited a protective effect from alveolar bone loss in ligature-induced periodontitis animal models. Our results strongly suggest that HP08-0106 represent an important therapeutic tool to treat inflammatory disorders associated with bone loss such as periodontitis.

Background: The new drug HP228 is a cytokine restraining agent with a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity. Six healthy, adult, male volunteers were studied to determine the independent and interactive effects of HP228 and morphine on pain perception. Methods: Two groups of stimuli were applied to each volunteers before drug administration as control, 20 min after morphine and HP228 administration, and 20 min after combined administration of these two drugs. Two adhesive electrically-conducting pads were applied on opposite sides of the arm approximately 8 cm apart. The electrode were connected to an electrical impulse generator and 50 Hz 1 msec pulses of incrementally increasing intensity were delivered at 1 sec intervals. The analgesic endpoints were the current intensity (mA) at which the subject first detected the stimulus (THRESH), the intensity at which the stimulus was first idenfied as being painful (PAIN), and the intensity at which the subject requested that the stimulus be terminated due to discomfort (LIMIT). A second series of stimuli were applied immediately thereafter using 1-sec duration 50 Hz tetanus pulses with increasing intensities at 2~5 sec intervals. Results: There were significant differences between drug treatments (Morphine, HP228, HP228/Morphine) and control (No drugs) in any of the measurements (PAIN, LIMIT) except THRESH with the twitch and tetanus test. Conclusions: The data suggests that HP228 is an analgesic, but it does not appear to interact with morphine in an additive manner.
