This paper presents a 270/540/750/1500-Mb/s serial-data transmitter realized in a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology for the applications of video data transmission. A low-cost RG-58 copper cable(5C-HFBT-RG6T) is exploited as a transmission medium connected to a single BNC connector, which shows cable loss 45 dB in maximum at 1.5 GHz. RLGC modeling provides an equivalent circuit for SPICE simulations of which characteristics are very similar to the measured cable loss. The loss can be compensated by pre-emphasis at transmitter and equalization at receiver if needed. Measurements of the proposed transmitter chip demonstrate the operations of 270-Mb/s, 540-Mb/s, 750-Mb/s and 1.5-Gb/s, and provide the output voltage levels of $370mV_{pp}$ at 1.5 Gb/s even with the pre-emphasis turned-off. The total power consumption is 104 mW from 1.2/3.3-V supplies and the chip occupies the area of $1.65{\times}0.9mm^2$.

In order to find out the microscopic environmental information on the nonionic reverse micelle of Triton X-100/n-hexanol/water in cyclohexane, an absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic study has been conducted using a methylene blue(MB). The information on the microscopic states of water in the polar core of the reverse micelle has been found by investigating complex formation and solvatochromic behavior between MB and Triton X-100. As a result, it was found that there exist three states in the polar core of the reverse micelle. The measured values of $W(=[H_2O]/[Surf])$ for the three states of water are 0.71, 4.98, and 7.26, and the corresponding lifetimes of MB are $15.45 ns{\pm}0.56$, $12.27 ns{\pm}0.79$, and $8.28 ns{\pm}0.82$, respectively.

Resistance to anoikis, a cell-detachment induced apoptosis, is one of the malignant phenotypes which support tumor metastasis. Molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment of this phenotype require further investigation. This study aimed at exploring protein expression profiles associated with anoikis resistance of a metastatic breast cancer cell. Cell survival of suspension cultures of non-metastatic MCF-7 and metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells were compared with their adherent cultures. Trypan blue exclusion assays demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of viable cells in MDA-MB-231 than MCF-7 cell cultures, consistent with analysis of annexin V-7-AAD stained cells indicating that MDA-MB-231 possess anti-apoptotic ability 1.7 fold higher than MCF-7 cells. GeLC-MS/MS analysis of protein lysates of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells grown under both culture conditions identified 925 proteins which are differentially expressed, 54 of which were expressed only in suspended and adherent MDA-MB-231 but not in MCF-7 cells. These proteins have been implicated in various cellular processes, including DNA replication and repair, transcription, translation, protein modification, cytoskeleton, transport and cell signaling. Analysis based on the STITCH database predicted the interaction of phospholipases, PLC and PLD, and 14-3-3 beta/alpha, YWHAB, with the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic signaling network, suggesting putative roles in controlling anti-anoikis ability. MDA-MB-231 cells grown in the presence of inhibitors of phospholipase C, U73122, and phospholipase D, FIPI, demonstrated reduced ability to survive in suspension culture, indicating functional roles of PLC and PLD in the process of anti-anoikis. Our study identified intracellular mediators potentially associated with establishment of anoikis resistance of metastatic cells. These proteins require further clarification as prognostic and therapeutic targets for advanced breast cancer.

This paper investigates the link margin of MB-OFDM UWB system quantitatively. Various simulations are performed considering the implementation loss by imperfect synchronization unit and the effect of multi-path fading channels. MB-OFDM UWB system uses ZP(Zero Padding) instead of CP(Cyclic Prefix) and supports two transmission modes; one is TFI(Time Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using different carrier frequency from symbol to symbol according to Time Frequency(TF) codes, the other is FFI(Fixed Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using a specific carrier frequency. The advantage of if and TFI is to be able to increase the transmitting power effectively compared to the existed OFDM systems that transmit the signal continuously at the same average transmitting power. From the analysis results of Ink margin, to guarantee the service range of 4m in 200Mbps mode, TFI mode must necessarily be implemented and the service range of 480Mbps mode is estimated about 1-2m in the line-of-sight multi-path channel (CMI).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of enzyme-treated radish (Raphanus sativus L.) leaves on lipid metabolism in rats fed a high fat diet. Rats were divided into four experimental groups which were composed of a high fat diet group (HF group), a high fat diet with 10% radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MA group), a high fat diet with 5% enzyme-treated radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MB group) and a high fat diet with 10% enzyme-treated radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MC group). Total dietary fiber content of enzyme-treated radish leaves were greater than untreated radish leaves. Body weight gain and food efficiency ratio (FER) of the HF group increased compared to the MA, MB and MC groups. The serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index contents in the radish leaf powder-supplemented groups were lower than that of the HF group, while those values for the MB and MC groups were significantly lower than that of the HF group. The serum HDL-cholesterol contents of the MB and MC groups increased compared to the HF group. The hepatic triglyceride contents of the MA, MB and MC groups decreased compared to the HF group. In fact, the hepatic triglyceride contents of the MB and MC groups were significantly lower than the MA group. The hepatic total cholesterol contents of the MB and MC groups significantly decreased compared to those of the HF group. The fecal total cholesterol contents of the MA, MB and MC groups significantly increased compared to those of the HF group. These results indicate that supplementation with enzyme-treated radish leaves increase the useful fiber contents. Furthermore, it may have a pronounced impact on lipid metabolism of serum and liver in rats fed a high fat diet.

In present study, a conventional sol-gel method was used to prepare Fe-ACF/$TiO_2$ composites, a kind of composite photocatalysts, whose capability was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) solution. The particle size, surface structure, crystal phase and elemental identification of the composites prepared were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD and EDX, respectively. The spectra of MB concentration degraded under visible light were obtained by UV/Vis spectrophotometer. These obtained spectra demonstrated the photocaltalytic activity from removal concentrations of MB. It was considered that these photonic activities are induced by a strong synergetic reaction among ACF, $TiO_2$ and Fe in the composite photocatalysts under visible light.

Cobalt-loaded activated carbon fibers (ACFs) supported titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photocatalyst was developed by sol-gel method. The Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ photocatalyst were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X.ray diffraction patterns (XRD), energy dispersive X.ray analysis (EDX) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Decomposition efficiency of methylene blue (MB) solution by Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ photocatalyst reached almost 100% under 300 min reaction. The MB molecules in the bulk solutions were supposed to be condensed around $TiO_2$ particles by adsorption of ACFs. Therefore, the photocatalyst possesses the combined effect of adsorption by activated carbon fibers and photocatalytic reactivity of $TiO_2$ on MB degradation. Due to the cobalt has electron transition effece, thus improved the photodegradation of MB solution.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a principal antioxidant derived from green tea, is one of the most extensively investigated chemopreventive phytochemicals. However, the effect of EGCG on proliferation in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell is not well known. We investigated the effect of EGCG on protein and mRNA expression related to cell proliferation in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. We cultured MDA-MB-231 cells in the presence of 0, 5, 10 and 20 ${\mu}m$ of EGCG. EGCG significantly inhibited the cancer cell proliferation (p<0.05). In MDA-MB-231 huamn breast cancer cell, EGCG lowered $ErbB_2$ and $ErbB_3$ protein as well as mRNA expression. In addition, protein and mRNA expression of phosphorylated Akt and total Akt were significantly decreased (p<0.05). We suggest that EGCG inhibits cell proliferation through $ErbB_2$, $ErbB_3$ and Akt cell signaling.

It is frequently said that mortgage-backed securities (MBS) of different security designs are issued in an attempt to meet the varying needs and expectations of investors. If this is true indeed, MBS of complicated risk-return characteristics are likely to be priced higher than MBS of simple risk-return characteristics we. We test this implication by establishing a recombining binomial interest rate prepayment model with a burnout effect embedded. More specifically, we compare the relative values (utilities) of a pass-through and a PAC- Support collateralized mortgage obligation(CMO), and theoretically show why and how the CMO is more highly valued than is the pass-through. The model is established such that mortgage prepayment is a function of the current value of, and the past path of, the mort-gage market rate. Since we work on not the total value of the two MBS but the value of each tranche of either MBS, the test results could be robust to slightly different versions of similar tests, which may be done in the future.
