Radioactive elements Li/sup +/, Rb/sup +/and Cs/sup +/ effect the period shortening in proportion to the higher concentration on the growth of Neurospora crassa. 1 mM LiCl presented the result of the period length 0.52 h shorter than average circadian rhythm 21.66 h. 1 mM RbCl reduced the period length 1.13 h than control period 21.89 h and 1 mM CsCl reduced 2.12 h than control period 21.89 h. In the equal concentration Cs/sup +/ had an extreme effect. Fatal doses of Li/sup +/, Rb/sup +/ and Cs/sup +/ are 20mM, 30mM and 20mM. In the fatal concentration Neurospora didn't develop more after 7 days and the formation of spores were not given in regular order. Circadian length of Neurospora decreased generally at the last cycle of the growth.

For an outer action $\alpha$ of a finite group G on a factor M, it was proved that H is a, normal subgroup of G if and only if there exists a finite group F and an outer action $\beta$ of F on the crossed product algebra M $\times$$_{\alpha}$ G = (M $\times$$_{\alpha}$ F. We generalize this to infinite group actions. For an outer action $\alpha$ of a discrete group, we obtain a Galois correspondence for crossed product algebras related to normal subgroups. When $\alpha$ satisfies a certain condition, we also obtain a Galois correspondence for fixed point algebras. Furthermore, for a minimal action $\alpha$ of a compact group G and a closed normal subgroup H, we prove $M^{G}$ = ( $M^{H}$)$^{{beta}(G/H)}$for a minimal action $\beta$ of G/H on $M^{H}$.f G/H on $M^{H}$.TEX> H/.

Good yield synthetic routes for the production of new B-alkyl-dithiaborane clusters are reported. The syntheses of the B-alkyl-dithiaboranes are based on the use of Fischer-type carbene reagents to activate the B-H bonds of dithiaborane for alkyl-addition reactions and are the first examples of transition-mediated reactions of dithiaborane to be reported. Thus, reactions employing arachno-$S_2B_7H_8$- and $(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2}$ (M = Cr, W; $R_1 = CH_3,\;C_6H_5;\; R_2 = OCH_3,\;SC_6H_5)$ were found to yield the intermidiate anions I, $[(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2S_2B_7H_8}]^-$, which upon protonation gave the corresponding neutral, air-sensitive cluster arachno-4-$RCH_2-6,8-S_2B_7H_8(R=CH_3,\;IIa;\;C_6H_5,\;IIb)$ range from 30 to 35% yield. Complexes IIa and IIb are isoelectronic with arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$ and, on the basis of the spectroscopic data, are proposed to adopt a similar arachno cage geometry in which an $RCH_2$ units are substituted to 4 position boron atom of the arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$.

섬유상의 $Na_xTi_nO_{2n+1}$는 층상구조의 $H_2Ti_4O_9{\cdot}nH_2O$에대한 $H^+/Na^+$의 이온교환에 의해서 합성되었다. 이온교환 반응은 0.5~2.0 M NaOH 용액에서 이루어졌으며, 2.0 M NaOH의 용액에서 이온 교환할 때 73%가 치환되었다. 이 때 길이가 $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$이고 직경이 약 $0.7{\mu}m$인 비교적 균일한 형태의 섬유상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 층상구조의 티탄산나트륨에 대한 상전이는 열분석을 통해 확인하였으며, 이 결과 $Na_xTi_nO_{2n+1}$ 섬유는 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$과 $TiO_2$로 분해되었다.

In the present study, the neuroprotective effects of astaxanthin on $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic cell death, using cultured mouse neural progenitor cells (mNPCs), were investigated. To cause apoptotic cell death, mNPCs were pretreated with astaxanthin for 8 h and followed by treatment of 0.3 mM $H_2O_2$. Pretreatment of mNPCs with astaxanthin significantly inhibited $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptosis and induced cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. In Western blot analysis, astaxanthin-pretreated cells showed the activation of p-Akt, p-MEK, p-ERK, and Bcl-2, and the reduction of p-P38, p-SAPK/JNK, Bax, p-GSK3b, cytochrome c, caspase-3, and PARP. Because $H_2O_2$ triggers caspases activation, this study examined whether astaxanthin can inhibit caspases activation in $H_2O_2$-treated mNPCs. After $H_2O_2$ treatment, caspases activities were prominently increased, but astaxanthin pretreatment significantly inhibited $H_2O_2$-mediated caspases activation. Astaxanthin pretreatment also significantly recovered the ATP production ability of $H_2O_2$-treated cells. These findings indicate that astaxanthin inhibits $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic features in mNPCs. Inhibition assays with SB203580 ($10\;{\mu}M$, a specific inhibitor of p38) and PD98059 ($10\;{\mu}M$, a specific inhibitor of MEK) clearly showed that astaxanthin can inhibit $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic death via modulation of p38 and MEK signaling pathways.

Pseudomonas rhodesiae H5가 생성하는 parathion hydrolase를 $(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}$침전, DEAE-Toyopearl 650M ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex gel filtration의 단계로 정제한 결과, 이 균주가 생성하는 parathion hydrolase는 두 종류의 효소였으며, 이를 각각 OPH $I_1$과 OPH $I_2$라 명명하였다. OPH $I_1$과 OPH $I_2$의 최적 pH와 온도는 각각 pH7.2, $30^{\circ}C$와 PH7.6, $37^{\circ}C$이었다. OPH $I_1$의 Parathion을 가수분해하는 활성화 에너지는 $4^{\circ}C$-$30^{\circ}C$에서 3.01㎉/㏖ 이었으며 Km값은 69.2${\mu}M$이었다. 반면, OPH $I_2$의 활성화에너지는 $4^{\circ}C$-$37^{\circ}C$에서 4.07kcal/㏖이었으며 Km값은 150.9${\mu}M$이었다. OPH $I_1$은 1 mM의 $Mg^2+$, $Cu^2+$, $Ca^2+$, $Ni^2+$에 의해서 효소활성이 완전 저해되었으나 OPH $I_2$는 저해를 덜 받는 것으로 확인되었다.

Let $M=H_1{\cup}_SH_2$ be a Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold M, D be an essential disk in $H_1$ and A be an essential annulus in $H_2$. Suppose D and A intersect in one point. First, we show that a Heegaard splitting admitting such a (D, A) pair satisfies the disjoint curve property, yet there are infinitely many examples of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings with such (D, A) pairs. In the second half, we obtain another Heegaard splitting $M=H'_1{\cup}_{S'}H'_2$ by removing the neighborhood of A from $H_2$ and attaching it to $H_1$, and show that $M=H'_1{\cup}_{S'}H'_2$ also has a (D, A) pair with $|D{\cap}A|=1$.

We fused the promoter region of an H3.2 chicken histone gene, whose expression is dependent on the cell cycle, to the 5' coding region of an H3.3 chicken histone gene, which is expressed constitutively at a low level throughout the cell cycle. This fusion gene showed a cell cycle-regulated pattern of expression, but in a different manner. The mRNA level of the fusion gene increase during the S phase of the cell cycle by about 3.7-fold at 6 h and 2.7-fold at 12 h after the serum stimulation. The mRNA level of the intact H3.2 gene, however, increased by an average of 3.6-fold at 6 h and 8.7-fold at 12 h. This different expression pattern might be due to the differences in their 3' end region that is responsible for mRNA stability. The 3' end of the H3.2 mRNA contains a stem-loop structure, instead of a poly(A) tail present in the H3.3 mRNA. We also constructed a similar fusion gene using a H3.3 histone gene whose introns had been eliminated to rule out the possibility of involvement of the introns in cell cycle-regulated expression. The expression of this fusion gene was almost identical to the fusion gene made previously. These results indicate that the promoter region of the H3.2 gene is only partially responsible for its expression during the S phase of the cell cycle.

The aim of the present study was to assess whether exposure to the combination of an extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF; 60 Hz, 1 mT or 2 mT) with a stress factor, such as ionizing radiation (IR) or $H_2O_2$, results in genomic instability in non-tumorigenic human lung epithelial L132 cells. To this end, the percentages of G2/M-arrested cells and aneuploid cells were examined. Exposure to 0.5 Gy IR or 0.05 mM $H_2O_2$ for 9 h resulted in the highest levels of aneuploidy; however, no cells were observed in the subG1 phase, which indicated the absence of apoptotic cell death. Exposure to an ELF-MF alone (1 mT or 2 mT) did not affect the percentages of G2/M-arrested cells, aneuploid cells, or the populations of cells in the subG1 phase. Moreover, when cells were exposed to a 1 mT or 2 mT ELF-MF in combination with IR (0.5 Gy) or $H_2O_2$ (0.05 mM), the ELF-MF did not further increase the percentages of G2/M-arrested cells or aneuploid cells. These results suggest that ELF-MFs alone do not induce either G2/M arrest or aneuploidy, even when administered in combination with different stressors.

화학세정폐수에 함유되어 있는 citric acid의 효율적인 처리방안을 수립하기 위해 $UV/H_2O_2,\;UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$, Photo-Fenton 산화방법을 이용하여 각각 citric acid의 제거효율 및 그에 따른 전력소비량을 평가하였다. 그 결과 조사된 최적 처리조건에서 $UV/H_2O_2,\;UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$, Photo-Fenton 산화방법을 이용한 citric acid 농도에 근거한 TOC 제거효율은 각각 95.5%, 92.3%, 91.5%로 조사되었으며, 그에 따른 전력소비량은 $11.26kWh/m^3,\;3.85kWh/m^3,\;0.799kWh/m^3$으로 조사되었다. 이 결과에 의하면 세가지 광화학적 산화방법 모두 유기물질이 90% 이상 제거되어 citric acid의 분해에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 Photo-Fenton 산화방법이 다른 방법에 비해 처리에 소요되는 반응시간이 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 광화학적 산화방법의 운영비를 결정짓는데 중요한 요소인 전력소모량 측면에서도 Photo-Fenton 산화방법이 다른 방법에 비해 우수한 것으로 조사되어 본 연구에서 비교하는 세가지 방법 중 citric acid 처리에는 Photo-Fenton 방법이 효율적인면과 경제성면에서 가장 적합한 처리기술로 결론지을 수 있었다.
