Antitumor activity of Korean mistletoe extract (KM-110) and European commercial mistletoe preparation (Helixor) was investigated. KM-110 showed the cytotoxic effect that it is high for various tumor cell lines and normal splenocytes in comparison with Helixor. Administration of two mistletoe extracts ($100{\mu}g$) to mice did not show any significant changes on the level of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GTP), blood creatinine (CRE) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in sera. The culture supernatant of macrophages stimulated with KM-110 inhibited effectively tumor growth whereas Helixor had little effect. Administration of KM-110 or Helixor resulted in a effective inhibition of lung metastasis after the i.v. inoculation of colon 26-M3.1 lung carcinoma, B16-BL6 melanoma and L5178Y-ML25 lymphomas. In all cases, the mice treated with KM-110 showed more effective anti-tumor metastatic activity than the mice of Helixor. These results suggest that Korean mistletoe extracts, KM-110 might be used as an alternative methods having antitumor activity like European mistletoe preparation, Helixor.

Pack cementation법을 이용하여 한국과학기술연구원에서 개발한 세계 최강의 고운 단조용 초내열합금인 KM 1557에 내산화성이 우수한 알루미나이드 코팅층 제조시 코팅처리 변수들이 코팅층의 형성과정에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 알루미나이드 코팅처리는 pure 알루미늄 분말을 사용한 high-activity process와 Codep 합금분말을 사용한 low-activity process로 나누어 실시하였다. High-activity process의 경우 활성제의 종류와 첨가량 및 알루미늄의 첨가량에 따라 알루미늄의 증착속도와 알루미나이드 코팅층의 형성속도 및 단면조직은 큰 영향을 받는다. Low-activity process의 경우 알루미늄의 증착속도와 알루미나이드 코팅층의 형성속도 및 단면조직은 활성제의 종류에 전혀 영향을 받지 않으며 단조 활성제의 첨가량에 영향을 받는다. 그러나 활성제의 종류에 따라 코팅층의 표면조직의 결정립 크기가 달라진다. 알루미늄의 활동도에 관계없이 알루미늄의 증착속도는 시간의 평방근에 비례하며, 활성제의 종류에 따라 parabolic rate constants인 $K_p$값이 달라진다. High-activity process의 경우 알루미늄 증착에 필요한 활성화에너지는 활성제의 종류에 따라 달라지나, low-activity process의 경우 활성제의 종류에 관계없이 알루미늄의 증착에 필요한 활성화에너지는 약 12~14 Kcal/mole 정도의 값이 된다.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the biochemical properties of manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) hydrolyzed by extracellular enzyme of Bacillus N3. We strived to characterize the biochemical properties of MOS since N3 can effectively hydrolyzed natural polymannans such as galactomannan (GM) and konjac (glucomannan, KM), respectively. The hydrolysis of GM and KM was applied by the strain N3 in terms of reducing sugars and the highest production of reducing sugars was estimated to be about 750 mg/L and 370 mg/L respectively, which were quantified after 7 days of cultivation in the presence of both substrates. Hydrolysates derived from the hydrolysis of KM showed the significant antioxidant activity based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity with increasing of tyrosinase inhibitory activity. On the other hand, hydrolysates derived from the hydrolysis of GM showed only ABTS radical scavenging activity without showing significant changes on tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Our data suggest that those biological characteristics may be depend on the primary structure and the size of MOS, which may be useful as potent additives for diet foods.

Objectives: Drug-induced blockade of the human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) potassium ion channel causes acquired long QT syndrome, which is known to cause cardiac arrhythmias and be fatal. To establish safety evidence of herbal formulae, we evaluated the effects of 31 herbal formulae on hERG channel activity. Methods: The current through hERG channel was measured by changing the membrane voltage before and after treatment with 31 herbal formulae in HEK 293 cell overexpressing hERG channel using a whole-cell patch clamp system. The current-voltage curves and the activity curves were fitted, and the hERG activity and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) according to each herbal formula were calculated. Results: Chokyungjongok-tang, Oncheong-eum, and Cheongsangbangpung-tang strongly inhibited the hERG activity, with IC₅₀ values of 67.67, 141.2, and 296.3 ㎍/mL, respectively. Yeonkyopaedok-san, Eunkyo-san, Ukgan-san gajinphibanha, Daegunjoong-tang (except Oryzae gluten), Insamyangyoung-tang, Banhahubak-tang, SokyungHwalhyul-tang, Jodeung-san, Hyeonggaeyeongyo-tang, and Bangkeehwangkee-tang weakly inhibited hERG activity, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 400 to 1000 ㎍/mL. The other 18 herbal formulae showed very weak hERG activity inhibition of less than 50% at the highest concentration (1000 ㎍/mL). Conclusion: This study provided safety information on cardiotoxicity by cardiac arrhythmia risk assessment of herbal formulae, and is expected to be a reference data for predicting the safety and risk of herbal formulae.

To understand the current seismic activity and regional tectonic status in and around Gyeongsang basin, Korea Institute of Geology, Mining, and Materials(KIGAM) has performed the earthquake monitoring around the Gyeongsang basin since early 1980's with portable analog seismic instruments for about two months every year. As a part of POSEIDON project, Korea-Japan joint observation around gyeongsang basin in 1991 and 1992, was performed using by temporary seismic station. KIGAM has been continuously operated nine short-period 3-components digital seismic stations since the end of 1994. During the observation period, 247 earthquakes were analyzed and their magnitude was less than 4.5. In general, we could not find any relationship between seismic activity and known surface geological features. But the epicenters were rather concentrated with NW-SE direction. The most active seismicity was found in Gyeongbuk Gyeongjugun Seokeupri and Hyodongri, and Yeongilgun Janggiri and Guryongpo in land, and in three region along the east coast which are 10km and 30km east off from Gampo and 30km east off from Jongja in offshore.

Objectives: Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) is a traditional herbal formula comprising nine medicinal herbs, and it is used for reducing fatigue in Korea. SHT exerts various effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging activities, and protection against acute hepatotoxicity. However, the genotoxicity of SHT has not yet been established. Methods: Ten components were identified in SHT water extract by using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. We assessed the genotoxicity of SHT by using bacterial reverse mutation (Ames test), chromosome aberration, and in vivo micronucleus tests. Results: The contents of paeoniflorin, glycyrrhizin, and liquiritin apioside in SHT were 15.57, 6.94, and 3.48 mg/g extract, respectively. SHT did not increase the revertant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli strains in the presence or absence of metabolic activity. Although SHT did not induce structurally abnormal chromosomes in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells in the presence of metabolic activity, the number of structurally aberrated chromosomes increased dose-dependently in the absence of metabolic activity. In the in vivo micronucleus test, SHT did not affect the formation of micronuclei compared with the vehicle control. Conclusions: Genotoxicity of SHT was not observed in the Ames test and in vivo micronucleus test. However, based on the results of chromosome aberration test, it can be presumed that SHT has the potential to induce genotoxicity because it induced structurally abnormal chromosomes in the absence of metabolic activity.

Given the large investment and prevalence of knowledge management (KM) in organizations, it has become important to analyze the effects of KM activities on organizational performances. A theoretical framework is proposed to investigate the impact of KM activities on innovation capabilities in the IT service industry. This study considers KM activities as the major determinant that enhances absorptive capacity. KM activities enhance employees'ability to obtain external knowledge, resulting in increasing intellectual capital. Thus, this study proposes that absorptive capacity plays a mediating role between KM activities and innovation capability. Additionally, this study investigates the key antecedents of KM activities that promote employees' knowledge sharing. Based on prior studies on KM, this study posits KM team activities and top manager support as KM activities. The proposed research model was tested by using survey data collected from 556 employees in the IT service industry. PLS (partial least squares) was employed for the analysis of the data. The findings of this study showed that KM activities and absorptive capabilities play a significant role in enhancing service innovation and process innovation in the IT service industry. The results also shed light on the mediating role of absorptive capacity between KM activities and innovation capability. Moreover, both KM team activities and top manager support serve as the salient antecedents of promoting employees' knowledge sharing.

암컷 Aedes aegypti의 난성숙과장에서 새로 나타나는 malate dehydrogenase(L-malate, $NAD^+$ oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.37, MDH)를 DEAE-Sepharose, Sulphonyl-Sepharose, Cibacron 3FGA affinity chromatography를 이용하여 분리정제하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 분자량은 70,000 dalton정도의 dimer 형태로 되어 있으며 최적 pH는 malate-oxaloacetate반응에서는 pH 9.0~9.2, oxaloacetate-malate 반응에서는 pH 9.8~10.2이었다. 정재된 MDH는 mitochondria에 위치하고 있으며 기질로서 malate에 대한 Km값의 경우 $1.29 \times 10^{-4}$ M, oxaloacetate에 대한 Km 값은 $6.58\times 10^{-4}$M, NAD에 대한 Km값은 $0.76\times 10^{-3}$ M이며 NADH에 대한 Km 값은 $3.8\times 10^{-3}$ M 을 보이고 있으며 각각의 기질에 의한 저해현상을 보이고 있었다. 기질에 대한 Km값을 부분적으로 분리한 DEAE-sepharose에 흡착된 원형질 MDH와 비교한 결과 malate에 대한 Km 이 $8.92\times 10^{-3}$으로 상당한 차이를 보이고 있었다. 또한 정제된 MDH는 cltrate, $\alpha$-ketoglutarate, ATP 등의 대사산물에 의하여 저해작용을 받았다. ATP 및 citrate에 의한 MDH 활성도 저해는 oxaloacetate-malate반응에서 보다는 malate-oxaloacetate 반응에서 덜 일어났다. Oxaloacetate-malate 반응의 경우 ATP에 의하여저해작용이 완전히 일어났으며 malate-oxaloacetate반응에서는 cltrate에 의하여 저해작용이 일어나지 않았다. 흡혈 후 생성되는 MDH는 난소에서 합성되며 흡혈 수 난소에서 18시간 때부터 활성도가 나타나 48시간 이후 최고 활성도가 유지되는데 TCA회로의 isocitrate dehydrogenase 의 경우 난소내에서의 활성도 변화가 MDH의 변화 양상과 같았다.
