Objectives : This study investigated effect of Evodiae fructus water extract (EVOR) on apoptotic cell death induced by NaCN in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cell lines. NaCN stimulates glutamate release which can activate glutamate receptors to initiate excitotoxic processes. This study examines the role of EVOR in mediating NaCN-induced cytotoxicity. Methods & Results : Cytotoxicity was assessed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the culture media. NaCN(0.1mM) produced cytotoxicity following 12hrs of incubation. NaCN-induced cytotoxicity was partially blocked by EVOR. The treatment of EVOR in simultaneous exposure of cultures to NaCN provided complete protection against cytotoxicity. NaCN-induced cytotoxicity was found to inhibit DNA fragmentation, repaired by cell cycle and simultaneous exposure to NaCN, regenerated with neurite outgrowh by EVOR. These results indicate thaf damage by NaCN in neumnal cell cultures was repaired by EVOR, whereas NaCN-induced cytotoxicity is blocked Primarily by activation of anti-apoptosis. Conclusions : These results suggest that EVOR may be beneficial for the treatment of dementia and other degenerative problems of the central nervous system.

지르코늄합금 튜브 제조공정은 튜브 산세 시 질산과 불산을 사용하고 있어 세척 시 발생되는 폐수의 주요 오염물질인 질산성질소와 불소성분을 제거하기 위한 폐수처리는, 1차 화학응집처리에 의한 불소성분 제거공정, 황산화탈질반응을 이용한 SOD (Sulfur Oxidation Denitrification)공법에 의한 독립영양탈질공정, 그리고 2차 화학응집처리공정으로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서는, 처리공정에서 불소의 농도가 황산화탈질공정(SOD)의 탈질반응에 미치는 영향과 황산화탈질반응을 유지하기 위한 최적 운전조건을 검토하였다. 황산화탈질 반응은 불소농도 20 ppm 이하에서 거의 영향을 주지 않았으며, NaOH로 pH를 조절하는 것보다 NaOH와 $NaHCO_3$를 혼합하여 pH와 알칼리도를 조절해주는 것이 질소제거당량을 높여주는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 황산화탈질미생물에 필요한 미량원소와 알칼리성분이 혼합된 미생물활성화제가 알칼리도를 보충해줄 뿐만 아니라 황산화탈질미생물의 성장과 증식에도 영향을 주었으며, 그 결과 무기계 산업폐수처리 시 필요한 주기적인 미생물 식종 없이 운전이 가능한 결과를 얻었다. 이상의 결과를 통해, 황산화탈질공법(SOD공법)이 산업폐수의 질산성질소제거에 매우 유용한 공법임이 확인되었으며, 미생물활성화제가 황산화탈질미생물의 활성화에 기여함이 밝혀졌다.

Objectives The Behavioral Activation of Depression Scale (BADS) has been reported to be a valid tool for assessing the different behavioral aspects of depression, such as activation, rumination or avoidance, and functional impairment. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Korean version of BADS (K-BADS). Methods A sample of 196 outpatients completed the K-BADS and the data were analyzed for internal consistency and factor structures. An additional 51 outpatients re-filled the K-BADS after two weeks for the test-retest reliability. To test for the validity, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Working Alliance Inventory (WAI), Drug Attitude Inventory-10 (DAI-10), and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were administered. Results Internal consistency of K-BADS was good (Cronbach's alpha=0.843) and principal component factor analysis revealed the four-factor structure. The K-BADS showed a reasonable test-retest reliability (r=0.863, p<0.001). The total score of K-BADS correlated significantly with the total scores of the HADS depression (r=-0.694) and HADS anxiety (r=-0.681). No correlations were found between the K-BADS and the K-WAI (r=0.170) and between the K-BADS and the K-DAI-10 (r=0.311). Conclusion The K-BADS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the behavioral activation for depression in Korean patients with depressive symptoms.

매미눈꽃동충하초로부터 중성염용액, 열수 및 메탄올 추출물을 분리하였다. 세포독성 실험 결과, 열수 추출물은 $100{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 HT-29에 대해서 세포독성을 나타냈으나, NIH3T3, HepG2, Sarcoma 180에 대해서는 $0{\sim}2,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 중성염용액 추출물과 메탄을 추출물에서는 약간의 독성을 나타내었다. Sarcoma 180 복수암에 대한 항암 효과는 중성염용액 추출물과 메탄을 추출물을 투여한 실험군에서 32.3%의 생명 연장 효과를 나타내었다. 매미눈꽃동충하초의 중성염용액 추출물은 대조군에 비해 비장세포를 $2.4{\sim}2.6$배 증가시켰고, B 임파구의 alkaline phosphatase 활성을 $2.7{\sim}3.9$배 증가시킴으로써 비장세포의 증식능과 B 임파구의 면역 활성 효과를 증가시켰다. 대식세포주 RAW 264.7에 $50{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 중성염용액 추출물을 처리하였을 경우, 양성 대조군이 $79{\mu}M$의 nitric oxide(NO)를 발생시킨 것에 비해 다소 높은 $89{\mu}M$의 NO가 발생되었다. 매미눈꽃동충하초의 중성염용액 추출물이 가장 높은 항암 효과와 B 임파구와 대식세포 활성을 나타내었으며, 따라서 매미눈꽃동충하초 중성염용액 추출물의 항암 효과는 숙주의 면역 기능을 활성화 시킨 것에 기인된 것으로 사료된다.

본 실험은 서로 다른 온도조건하에서 두 가지 Na 화합물을 이용하여 Ca-벤토나이트를 Na-벤토나이트 전환하였다. 두 가지 Na 화합물은 양이온 원으로 Na를 가지고 있는 5가지 화합물 중에서 선택하였다. 전환된 Na-벤토나이트의 팽창능은 Na의 농도가 높아질수록 증가하였으며 반면 온도가 증가할수록 최대 Na 농도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Na_2CO_3 은 조사된 Na-화합물 중에서 최대 팽창능을 보여주었으며 팽창지수는 처리온도가 최대 100 에 도달할 때까지 최고로 증가하였다. 동일 Na 처리농도에서는 팽창지수는 체류시간이 증가하거나 온도가 높아질 때 다소 감소하였다. 전환된 Na-벤토나이트의 흡착은 조사된 Pb나 Cd의 평형농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 Pb의 흡착량이 Cd보다 다소 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 전환된 Na-벤토나이트에 Pb와 Cd의 흡착은 5 % $Na_2CO_3$. ${\approx}$ 5% $NaHCO_3$ > 3 % $NaHCO_3$ > 3 % $Na_2CO_3$ > 1 % $NaHCO_3$ > 1 % $Na_2CO_3$ > 원형 Na-B > 원형 Ca-B. 그러나 이러한 결과는 CEC에 따른 흡착의 결과와는 다소 상반되는 결과를 보여주고 있다.

The present study was undertaken to determine the inhibitory effects of orally administered ginseng saponins (GS), protopanaxadiol saponins(PD) and protopanaxatriol saponins(PT) on the development of morphine induced tolerance and physical dependence in mice, and to determine the increases in the loss of morphine tolerance and dependence. The study also sought to determine the hepatic glutathione contents, which are closely related to the degree of detoxication of morphinone, a novel metabolite of morphine, and the effects of ginseng saponins on morphine 6-dehydrogenase. The results of the present study showed that GS, PD and PT administered orally inhibited the development of morphine-induced tolerance and dependence. GS, PD and PT, however, increased the loss of morphine tolerance and dependence. GS, PD and PT inhibited the reduction of hepatic glutathione concentration in mice treated chronically with morphine, and the activity of morphine 6-dehydrogenase. So we hypothesized that these results were partially due to the dual action of the test drugs, the inhibition of morphine production and the activation in morphine-glutathione conjugation due to the increased glutathione level for detoxication.

The electrolytic boronizing on carbon steels in the mixture of $Na_2B_4O_7$ and NaCl was conducted at 750~$950^{\circ}C$ for 1~6 hours under 0.5A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ current density. The micorostructrure and microheredness of boronized layer was also studien. The effect of the additive such as $CaCl_2$ or NaOH on the formation of boronized layer was also investigated. The boronized layer were composed of two sublayers, i.e., FeB and $Fe_2B$ , which have tooth structure. the average layer thinknesses of the low carbon steel and SM45C boronized at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4hours were 153 and 138 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The thickness of the twosublayers was significantly increased with increasing boronizing temperature. To obtain a single $Fe_2B$ layer without FeB sublayer, the boronized materials ware homegenized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. It was fount that the single layer with a microhardness Hv$\thickapprox$ 1120 -1250 was formed. The calculated activation energies for formation of boronized layer on the low carbon steel and SM45C were 18.7 and 12.6 Kcal/mol, respectively.

Ginsenoside Rp1 is one of ginseng saponins with chemotherapeutic activity. In this study, we investigated the effects of Rp1 on spleen cells. Spleen is a major immune organ consisted of crucial immune cells, such as T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and some antigen-presenting cells. Although the anti-tumor potential of Rp1 was studied, the effects of Rp1 on immune cells have not investigated yet. A viability assay using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometric analysis, Western blot analysis were used to detect cellular changes on Rp1-treated spleen cells. MTT assay showed that Rp1 decreased the viability of spleen cells. To further investigate the effects of Rp1 on activated spleen cells, we treated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a representative inflammatory agent and Rp1 on spleen cells in a combination. The surface expression levels of activation markers for lymphocytes, CD25 and CD69 were measured. Apoptotic analysis revealed the cytotoxic effects of Rp1 on both na$\ddot{i}$ve and activated cells, and the expression pattern of some apoptosis-related proteins was correlated to apoptotic events of cells. Taken together, ginsenoside Rp1 increases the cellular death of spleen cells and also inhibits the LPS-induced activation of spleen cells.

Effects of HA and TiN coating on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-6AI-4V alloys for bone plates were investigated using various test methods. Ti-6AI-4V alloys were fabricated by using a vacuum induction furnace and bone plates were made by laser cutting and polishing. HA was made of extracted tooth sintered and then tooth ash was used as HA coating target. The TiN and HA film coating on the surface were carried on using electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) method. The corrosion behaviors of the samples were examined through potentiodynamic method in 0.9% NaCI solutions at $36.5\pm$$1^{\circ}C$ and corrosion surface was observed using SEM and XPS. The surface roughness of TiN coated bone plates was lower than that of tooth ash coated plates. The structure of TiN coated layer showed the columnar structure and tooth ash coated layer showed equiaxed and anisotrophic structure. The corrosion potential of the TiN coated specimen is comparatively high. The active current density of TiN and tooth ash coated alloy showed the range of about $1.0xl0^{-5}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$, whereas that of the non-coated alloy was$ 1.0xl0^{-4}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$. The active current densities of HA and TiN coated bone plates were smaller than that of non-coated bone plates in 0.9% NaCl solution. The pitting potential of TiN and HA coated alloy is more drastically increased than that of the non-coated alloy. The pit number and pit size of TiN and HA coated alloy decreased in compared with those of non-coated alloy. For the coated samples, corrosion resistance increased in the order of TiN coated, tooth ash coated, and non-coated alloy.
