The ethanolic extracts of the leaves and bulbs of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (Liliaceae) collected from Daegwallyoung (D) and Ullung Island (U) in Korea were obtained using three different extracting methods. The first extracts, DL-1 DB-1, UL-1 and UB-1, were obtained from leaves (L) and bulbs (B) dried at $90^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the second extracts, DL-2, DB-2, UL-2 and UB-2, were obtained by extracting the leaves and bulbs of fresh plant parts. The third extracts DL-3, DB-3, UL-3 and UB-3 were obtained by incubating leaves and bulbs at $36^{\circ}C$. The six extracts obtained from A. victorialis var. platyphyllum at Daegwanllyoung (cultivated site) were orally administered to examine for a possible antihepatotoxic effect in $CCl_4-induced$ rats. DL-1 exhibited the most pronounced effect. The extracts inhibited serum ALT, AST, SDH, ${\gamma}-GT$, ALP and LDH activities elevated by $CCl_4$ injection and attenuated decreased glutathione S-transferase, glutatione reductase and ${\gamma}-glutamylcysteine$ synthetase activities and a decreased hepatic glutathione. However, the extracts obtained from Ullung Is. (native site) were less active than the extracts from Daegwallyoung, suggesting that A. victorialis var. platyphyllum from the cultivated site is more useful for functional food than of native site. These results also suggest that the antihepatotoxic effect is due to a higher content of hepatic glutathione. Gas chromatography of the twelve extracts showed significantly different sulfides, disulfides or trisulfides contents belonging to volatile sulfur substances (VSS). Nine components were identified on the basis of their mass spectra, namely, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, dipropyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide, allyl methyl trisulfide, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, 3,4-dihydro-3-vinyl-1,2-dithiin, and allithiamine. Extract DL-1 had the highest VSS content. Dried plant materials contained larger amounts of the VSSs than other extracts, and the leaves contained larger amount than the bulbs. These results suggest that heat treatment increases the antiheaptotoxic ability of A. victorialis var. platyphyllum by increasing the proportion of VSSs.

The aim of this study was to compare the reaction of the cardiovascular system, and the anesthetic effect among 3 experimental groups, epidural administration of medetomidine as a single agent, the combination of buprenorphine and medetomidine, and the combination of fentanyl and medetomidine. Twenty one dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane and allowed to breathe spontaneously. Epidural, arterial, and venous catheters were inserted. The tip of epidural catheter was positioned at the level of the space between the sixth and seventh lumbar vertebra. After a stable plane of anesthesia was achieved, these dogs were each administered one of the following treatments epidurally : medetomidine $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M), a combination of medetomidine $5{\mu}g/kg$ and buprenorphine $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M/B), and a combination of medetomidine $5{\mu}g/kg$ and fentanyl $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M/F). Heart rate (HR), Respiratory rate (RR), End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), and arterial blood pressure were measured before drug administration (base line) and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 min postinjection. Blood gas analysis was performed before injection and 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60 min postinjection. Isoflurane was discontinued 80 min postinjection and pain/motor function were evaluated up to 260 min postinjection every 15 min. At the early stage of drug introduction (until 5 min), the HR was decreased significantly in all 3 groups compared with base line. In Group M, HR was significantly decreased compared with the other 2 groups. With time (starting 20 min after drug introduction), the HR was decreased significantly in Group M/B in respect to base line. However, no significant difference was seen number-wise in all 3 groups. During 60 min after drug introduction, the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures were highest in Group M and lowest in Group M/F. Among 3 groups, drug action and motor loss duration were longest in Group M/F. Analgesic effect observed in the M/F group was the most prominent and long-lasting, compared to those seen in the other 2 groups. Given the fact that the recovery of motor function takes place in a short period of time after analgesic effects disappeared, additional use of M/F depending on the patient's condition would be a good way to achieve effective pain management. However, proper care should be taken to ensure the function of cardiovascular system in the patient because the administration of M/F under isoflurane anesthesia results in a significant decline in arterial blood pressure ($65{\pm}10mmHg$).

Biogenic amine류는 어육의 부패과정 중 생성되는 성분으로 이를 간편하게 측정하기 위하여 diamine oxidase를 amino기가 관능기인 다공질의 Chitopearl beads에 고정화한 후 이를 충진한 효소 reactor를 제조하였다. 고정화 효소 reactor를 이용한 biogenic amine 연속계측 시스템을 사용하여 putrescine 기질에 대해 15.0 mM까지 검량곡선을 얻을 수 있었다. 이 때, biogenic amine 센서의 최대 감응도는 $35^{\circ}C$, 0.05 M 인산 완충용액(pH 7.2)을 사용한 경우 얻을 수 있었다. Biogenic amine 센서로 측정 시 방해물질로 작용할 수 있는 성분을 조사한 결과, ATP분해산물 및 TMA 등에는 거의 영향을 받지 않아 측정에 무리가 없음을 보여주었고, 0.8%까지의 식염에 대해서는 감응도가 19.2%이하로 감소하였으며 alanine과 glycine을 제외한 아미노산에 대하여 9.8% 이하의 감응도 상승을 나타내었다. 염류 및 아미노산에 의한 감응도 감소 및 증가 현상은 시료를 0.4 M perchloric acid에 의해 전처리하면 해결할 수 있었다. 여러 종류의 polyamines가 공존하는 경우 putrescine 기준으로 하여 putrescine 검량곡선의 26.7% 범위내에서 polyamines의 측정이 가능하였다. Diamine oxidase가 고정화된 Chitopearl 효소 reactor를 이용하는 경우 biogenic amines의 함량 유무를 30분 이내에 측정할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 대전류공급장치(PCITS)에 의해 소손된 강이음쇠형(iron fittings type) 금속플렉시블호스(CSST)의 구조 및 전기적 특성을 해석하였다. CSST는 보호 피막, 튜브, 너트, 클램프 링, 플레어 캡, 소켓, 볼 밸브 등으로 구성되어 있다. CSST의 내전압 평가는 전기 충전부와 비충전부 사이에 교류 전압 220 V를 1분간 인가하여 견뎌야 한다. 직류 500 V에 의한 절연 성능의 평가는 온도 상승 시험 전에 $1M{\Omega}$ 이상, 시험이 끝난 후에는 $0.3M{\Omega}$ 이상을 요구한다. 정상 제품의 평균 저항은 $11.5m{\Omega}$이었으나 PCITS로 130 A를 흘려 소손된 제품의 평균 저항 $11.50m{\Omega}$이었다. 또한 130 A가 약 10 s 흘렀을 때 튜브의 보호 피막이 일부 용융되었고, 검정색의 연기가 발생하였다. 60 s 경과되면 튜브의 대부분이 적색으로 발열되며, 전류가 120 s 흘렀을 때는 적열 범위가 넓어졌다. 95%의 신뢰 구간(CI)의 검증에서 P 값은 0.019로 정규 분포를 갖지 못하였으나 Anderson-Darling (AD) 통계량은 0.896, 표준 편차는 0.5573 등으로 양호한 특성을 나타냈다.

In order to discover new types of 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonists, we have devoted our attention to investigating naturally occurring compounds having anti-5HT activity in vitro. Recently, ${\gamma}$-mangostin [1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxy-2,8-bis(3-methyl-2-bytenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-one] from the fruit hull of Garcinia mangostana Linn has been shown to be a selective antagonist for 5-hydroxytryptamine$_{2A}$ receptors in smooth muscle and platelets. It is of interesting that y-mangostin which does not have a nitrogen atom, possesses marked 5-$HT_{2A}$ receptor blocking activity. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of ${\gamma}$-mangostin on central 5-HT receptors by using animal behavioural models. Intracerebronventricular injection of ${\gamma}$-mangostin (10-40n mol/mouse) inhibited 5-fluoro-${\alpha}$-methyltryptamin (5-FMT) (45 mg kg$^{-1}$, i.p.)-induced head-twitch response in mice in the presence or absence of citalopram (5-HT-uptake inhibitor). Neither the 5-FMT- nor the 8-hydroxy-2-( di-n-propylamino )tetralin (5-HT$_{1A}$-agonist)-induced 5-HT syndrome (head weaving and hindlimb abduction) was affected by ${\gamma}$-mangostin. The locomotor activity stimulated by 5-FMT through the activation of at-adrenoceptors did not alter in the presence of ${\gamma}$-mangostin. 5-HT-induced inositol phosphates accumulation in mouse brain slices was abolished by ketanserin. ${\gamma}$-Mangostin caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the inositol phosphates accumulation and the binding of [$^3H$]-spiperone, a specific 5-$HT_{2A}$ receptor antagonist, to mouse brain membranes. Kinetic analysis of the [$^H3$]-spiperone binding revealed that ${\gamma}$-mangostin increased the $_{d}$ value without affecting the $B_{max}$ value, indicating the mode of the competitive nature of the inhibition by ${\gamma}$-mangostin. These results suggest that ${\gamma}$-mangostin inhibits 5-FMT-induced head-twitch response in mice by blocking 5-$HT_{2A}$ receptors not by blocking the release of 5-HT from the central neurone. ${\gamma}$-Mangostin is a promising 5-$HT_{2A}$ receptors antagonist in the central nervous system.m.

The selective targeting of an integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ receptor using radioligands may enable the assessment of angiogenesis and integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ receptor status in tumors. The aim of this research was to label a peptidomimetic integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ antagonist (PIA) with $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$ and to test its receptor targeting properties in nude mice bearing receptor-positive tumors. PIA was reacted with tris-succinimidyl aminotriacetate (TSAT) (20 mM) as a PIA per TSAT. The product, PIA-aminodiacetic acid (ADA), was radiolabeled with $[^{99m}Tc(CO)_3(H_2O)_3]^{+1}$, and purified sequentially on a Sep-Pak C-18 cartridge followed by a Sep-Pak QMA anion exchange cartridge. Using gradient C-18 reverse-phase HPLC, the radiochemical purity of $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA (retention time, 10.5 min) was confirmed to be > 95%. Biodistribution analysis was performed in nude mice (n = 5 per time point) bearing receptor-positive M21 human melanoma xenografts. The mice were administered $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA intravenously. The animals were euthanized at 0.33, 1, and 2 hr after injection for the biodistribution study. A separate group of mice were also co-injected with 200 ${\mu}g$ of PIA and euthanized at 1 hr to quantify tumor uptake. $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA was stable in phosphate buffer for 21 hr, but at 3 and 6 hr, 7.9 and 11.5% of the radioactivity was lost as histidine, respectively. In tumor bearing mice, $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA accumulated rapidly in a receptor-positive tumor with a peak uptake at 20 min, and rapid clearance from blood occurring primarily through the hepatobiliary system. At 20 min, the tumor-to-blood ratio was 1.8. At 1 hr, the tumor uptake was 0.47% injected dose (ID)/g, but decreased to 0.12% ID/g when co-injected with an excess amount of PIA, indicating that accumulation was receptor mediated. These results demonstrate successful $^{99m}TC$ labeling of a peptidomimetic integrin antagonist that accumulated in a tumor via receptor-specific binding. However, tumor uptake was very low because of low blood concentrations that likely resulted from rapid uptake of the agent into the hepatobiliary system. This study suggests that for $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA to be useful as a tumor detection agent, it will be necessary to improve receptor binding affinity and increase the hydrophilicity of the product to minimize rapid hepatobiliary uptake.

The maintenance of peripheral immune tolerance and prevention of chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease require $CD4^{+}CD25^{+}$ T cells (regulatory T cells). The transcription factor Foxp3 is essential for the development of functional, regulatory T cells, which plays a prominent role in self-tolerance. Retroviral vectors can confer high level of gene transfer and transgene expression in a variety of cell types. Here we observed that following retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer of Foxp3, transductional Foxp3 expression was increased in the liver, lung, brain, heart, muscle, spinal cord, kidney and spleen. One day after vector administration, high levels of transgene and gene expression were observed in liver and lung. At 2 days after injection, transductional Foxp3 expression level was increased in brain, heart, muscle and spinal cord, but kidney and spleen exhibited a consistent low level. This finding was inconsistent with the increase in both $CD4^{+}CD25^{+}$ T cell and $CD4^{+}Foxp3^{+}$ T cell frequencies observed in peripheral immune cells by fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) analysis. Retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer of Foxp3 did not lead to increased numbers of $CD4^{+}CD25^{+}$ T cell and $CD4^{+}Foxp3^{+}$ T cell. These results demonstrate the level and duration of transductional Foxp3 gene expression in various tissues. A better understanding of Foxp3 regulation can be useful in dissecting the cause of regulatory T cells dysfunction in several autoimmune diseases and raise the possibility of enhancing suppressive functions of regulatory T cells for therapeutic purposes.

유사량 자료는 하천을 유지 관리하기 위하여 지속적으로 확보할 필요가 있다. 최근 해외에서는 유사량 자료 확보의 효율성 제고를 위해 초음파도플러유속계를 이용하여 간접적으로 유사량을 관측하는 연구가 시도되고 있다. 그러나, 기존 연구의 경우 주파수가 낮은 저주파 초음파도플러 유속계를 이용하여 대하천 및 실제 하천에서만 연구가 수행되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3 MHz의 높은 주파수가 적용된 수평초음파도플러유속계(H-ADCP)를 유량과 유사량 통제가 가능한 실험수로에 적용하여 획득한 신호대잡음비(SNR)를 이용하여 입경에 따른 초음파의 반사특성을 규명하고, 대하천을 기반으로 개발된 신호대잡음비 보정 알고리즘의 적용성 검토를 실시하며, 보정된 신호대잡음비를 활용하여 실험수로 규모의 하천에서 유사량 측정 가능성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해, 레이저부유사측정기(LISST-100X)를 활용하여 실측 부유사농도 데이터를 획득하고 신호대잡음비와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 수로 전 단면에 균일한 유사를 공급하기 위해 실험수로 규격에 맞게 유사공급장치를 제작하였으며, 초음파 반사특성 규명을 위해 입경이 다른 두 종류의 유사(Silt, Sand)를 활용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 기존 신호대잡음비 보정 알고리즘을 실험수로 측정결과에 대해 적용성 검토를 실시한 결과, 적절한 보정 결과를 보여 보정 알고리즘이 실험수로 규모에도 적용 가능함을 확인하였으며, 보정된 신호대잡음비와 부유사농도 사이의 상관관계 경향을 분석한 결과, 실트와 모래에 대해 전체적으로 일정한 연관성을 보여, 향후 추가적인 연구를 통해 신호대잡음비를 이용한 간접적인 유사량 관측이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
