We have conducted in vitro reconstitution study of ferritin from its subunits FerH and FerL. For the reconstitution, FerH was produced from an expression vector construct in Escherichia coli and was purified from a heat treated cell extract by using one-step column chromatography. FerL was expressed as inclusion bodies. The denatured form of FerL was obtained by a simple washing step of the inclusion bodies with 3 M urea. The reconstitution experiment was conducted with various molar ratios of urea-denatured FerH and FerL to make the ferritin nanoparticle with a controlled composition of FerH and FerL. SDS-PAGE analysis of the reconstituted ferritins revealed that the reconstitution required the presence of more than 40 molar$\%$ of FerH in the reconstitution mixture. The assembly of the subunits into the ferritin nanoparticle was confmned by the presence of spherical particles with diameter of 10 nm by the atomic force microscopic image. Further analysis of the particles by using a transmission electron microscope revealed that the reconstituted particles exhibited different percentages of population with dense iron core. The reconstituted ferritin nanoparticles made with molar ratios of [FerH]/[FerL]=l00/0 and 60/40 showed that 80 to $90\%$ of the particles were apoferritin, devoid of iron core. On the contrary, all the particles formed with [FerH]/[FerL]=85/ 15 were found to contain the iron core. This suggests that although FerH can uptake iron, a minor portion of FerL, not exceeding $40\%$ at most, is required to deposit iron inside the particle.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the bioequivalence of two haloperidol 5 mg tablets, Myung In haloperidol (Myung In Pharm. Co., Ltd., test drug) and $Peridol^{R}$(Whanin Pharm. Co., Ltd., reference drug), and also to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters of haloperidol in Korean volunteers. The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of haloperidol tablets were examined on 24 healthy volunteers who received a single oral dose of each preparation in the fasting state in a randomized balanced 2 way crossover design. After an oral dosing, blood samples were collected for a period of 60 h. Plasma concentrations of haloperidol were determined using a liquid chromatographic electrospray mass spectrometric (LC-MS) method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis. The geometric means of $AUC_{0-60h} and C_{max}$ between test and reference formulations were $17.21\pm8.26 ng\cdot/mL vs 17.31\pm13.24 ng\cdot/mL and 0.87\pm0.74 ng/mL vs 0.85\pm0.62 ng/mL$. respectively. The $90\%$ confidence intervals of mean difference of logarithmic transformed $AUC_{0-60h} and C_{max} were log0.9677{\sim}log1.1201 and log0.8208{\sim}log1.1981$, respectively. It shows that the bioavailability of test drug is equivalent with that of reference drug. The geometric means of other pharmacokinetic parameters ($AUC_{inf}. t_{1/2}, V_{d}/F, and CL/F$) between test drug and reference drug were $21.75\pm8.50 ng{\cdot}h/mL vs 21.77\pm15.63 ng{\cdot}h/mL, 29.87\pm8.25 h vs 29.60\pm7.56 h, 11.51\pm5.45 L vs 12.90\pm6.12 L and 0.26\pm0.09 L/h vs 0.31\pm0.17 L/h$, respectively. These observations indicate that the two formulation for haloperidol was bioequivalent and, thus, may be clinically interchangeable.

The efficacy of standard therapeutic strategies for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is decreasing over time due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. As an alternative, the present study investigated the capacity of Lactobacilllus paracasei (L. paracasei) HP7, isolated from kimchi, to inhibit H. pylori growth. The effects of L. paracasei HP7 on H. pylori adhesion and H. pylori-induced inflammation were examined in AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cells and a mouse model of H. pylori SS1 infection. L. paracasei HP7 reduced H. pylori adhesion to AGS cells and suppressed the inflammatory response in infected cells by downregulating interleukin-8. H. pylori colonization in the stomach of C57BL/6 mice was demonstrated by rapid urease test, and results showed significant decrease in mice post-treated with L. paracasei HP7. Additionally, L. paracasei HP7 decreased gastric inflammation and epithelial lesions in the stomach of H. pylori-infected mice. These results demonstrate that L. paracasei HP7 treatment can inhibit H. pylori growth and is thus a promising treatment for patients with gastric symptoms such as gastritis that are caused by H. pylori infection.

Me3NO selectively abstracts the proton from [IrH(CO)(PPh3)2L(A)]0.1+,2+ (1) (A: -CCPh, Cl-, CH3CN and L: CH3CN, Cl-, C1O4-) to give the trans-elimination products, Ir(CO)(PPh3)2(A) (2). The reductive elimination of H+ and Cl- from Ir(H)Cl2(CO)(PPh3)2 (lb) to give IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (2b) is first order in both lb and Me3NO. The rate law d[2b]/dt=kobs[lb]=k2[lb][Me3NO] suggests the formation of (PPh3)2(CI)2(CO)Ir-H-ON+Me3 in the rate determining step (k2) followed by the fast dissociation of both H-ON+Me3 and the trans ligand Cl-. The rate significantly varies with the cis liaand A and the trans ligand L and is slower with both A and L being Cl- than other ligands. Me3NO selectively eliminates CO from [Ir(H)2(CO)(PPh3)2L]0,+ (3) (L=CH3CN, C1O4-) to produce [Ir(H)2(PPh3)2L'(CH3CN)]+ (4) (L'=CH3CN, PPh3) in the presence of L. Me3NO does not readily remove either H+ or CO from cis, trans- and trans, trans-lr(H)(-CCPh)2(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis, trans-Ir(H)2Cl(CO)(PPh3)2. The choice whether hydridocarbonyls, 1 and 3 undergo the deprotonation or decarbonylation may be understood mostly in terms of thermodynamic stability of the products and partly by kinetic preference of Me3NO on proton and CO.

A 8-week trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of photoperiod manipulation on the growth performance and hematological parameters of juvenile Caspian roach, Rutilus rutilus caspicus (average weight $1.46{\pm}0.12g$ mean${\pm}$SD) reared under five photoperiods (24 h Light, 24L; 18 h Light & 6 h Dark, 18L:6D; 12 h Light & 12 h Dark, 12L:12D; 6 h Light & 18 h Dark, 6L:18D; 24 h Dark, 24D) with constant light intensity 1,500 lx on the water surface. Triplicate of 20 fish were allocated into each of 15 fiberglass tanks of 50 L capacity and they were fed three times per day with the commercial feed (SFK, Co., Sari - Iran) contains 50.0% protein and 10.5% lipid. At the end of experimental period, final body weight, weight gain and specific growth rates of fish exposed to 24L were significantly higher than those of fish exposed to 12L:12D, 6L:18D and 24D (P < 0.05). Red blood cell and hemoglobin of fish exposed to 24L were significantly higher than those of fish exposed to 24D. No significant difference observed in hematocrit, white blood cell and plasma glucose among the different treatments groups. Therefore, these results demonstrated that the growth performance of juvenile Caspian roach can be significantly stimulated by using 24L and 18L:6D photoperiods without any measurable significant stress response such as plasma glucose concentration.

In this study, iron (Fe) impregnated granular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) has been synthesized and characterized for various properties. Comparative studies have been performed for use of Fe-GAC as an adsorbent as well as a catalyst during catalytic oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ). In the batch adsorption study, effect of process parameter like initial HQ concentration ($C_o=25-1,000mg/L$), pH (2-10), contact time (t: 0-24 h), temperature (T: $15-45^{\circ}C$) and adsorbent dose (w: 5-50 g/L) have been studied. Maximum HQ adsorption efficiency of 75% was obtained at optimum parametric condition of: pH = 4, w = 40 g/L and t = 14 h. Pseudo-second order model best-fitted the HQ adsorption kinetics whereas Langmuir model best-represented the isothermal equilibrium behavior. During oxidation studies, effect of various process parameters like initial HQ concentration ($C_o:20-100mg/L$), pH (4-8), oxidant dose ($C_{H2O2}:0.4-1.6mL/L$) and catalyst dose (m: 0.5-1.5 g/L) have been optimized using Taguchi experimental design matrix. Maximum HQ removal efficiency of 83.56% was obtained at optimum condition of $C_o=100mg/L$, pH = 6, $C_{H2O2}=0.4mL/L,$ and m = 1 g/L. Overall use of Fe-GAC during catalytic oxidation seems to be a better as compared to its use an adsorbent for treatment of HQ bearing wastewater.

C. tropicalis ATCC 20336을 이용하여 높은 수율과 생산성으로 xylitol을 생산하기 위하여 glucose 배지에서 짧은 시간에 고농도로 세포를 배양한 후에 xylose를 첨가하여 xylitol로 전환하는 2단계 유가식 발효공정에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Cell growth-stage에서의 배지공급 방법으로는 glucose가 모두 고갈된 후에 pH가 5.7 이상으로 올라가는 것을 신호로 glucose를 첨가하는 pH-stat 방법으로 18.5시간 배양에 의하여 67.9 g/L의 세포 농도를 얻었으며, ethanol 생성은 1.0 g/L로 매우 낮았다. Production-stage에서 최적의 초기 xylose 농도는 150 g/L이었으며, 이때에 2 g/L ($NH_4)_2SO_4$, 1 g/L $K_2HPO_4$, 0.2 g/L $MgSO_47H_2$O로 구성된 mineral salt를 2회 첨가에 의하여 xylitol의 생성이 향상되었다 그러나 0.2 vvm에서 1.0 vvm 사이의 통기조건에서는 xylitol의 생산에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 반면에 production-stage에서 yeast extract를 10 g/L가 되도록 첨가한 경우에 xylitol 수율과 생산성이 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 즉 xylose 농도가 약 150 g/L이 되도록 232.5 g의 xylose를 2회 첨가한 경우에 배양액의 최종 부피는 1.67 L이 되었고, 이때의 xylitol 농도는 193 g/L이었으며, 수율은 70%이고 생산성은 3.55 g/L.h이었다.

본 논문은 다차원(multi-hypothesis) 기법을 이용한 에러 은닉 알고리듬(error concealment algorithm)을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 손실된 블록(block)을 보상하기 위해서, 이전 프레임에서 두 개 이상의 블록을 선택하여 각각에 가중치를 적용한 후. 중첩을 수행함으로써 손실된 블록을 보상한다. 참조되는 블록과 가중치 계수를 정하기 위해서 세 가지 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법들을 H.26L 동영상 표준에 기반 하여 구현하였으며. 각각의 성능은 모의 전산 실험을 통하여 비교되었다. 제안하는 다 차원 에러 은닉 기법은 기존의 한 개의 프레임만을 이용하는 방법에 비해서 약 1.5㏈의 PSNR 성능 향상이 있음을 확인한다.
