In Oriental medicine, Ginseng had been used for many diseases widely. It's main effects are suppling Qi and Promoting metastasis. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of Ginseng on control of body temperature. We conducted this study with 24 volunteers who had no problem in their health from November 2002 to January 2003. The body temperature were measured by DITI and thermometer before taking Ginseng and after 30minutes of the taking Ginseng extract 15g. We observed the difference of temperature among face chest and upper abdomen. All data were coded for computer analysis and significance were tested by Paired t-test and independent-t-test. According to our study, the axillary temperature show no signifiant change between two groups. The difference of temperature$({\Delta}T)$ between face and upper abdomen significantly increase after taking Ginseng extract(p<0.01). The difference of temperature$({\Delta}T)$ between face and chest significantly increase after taking Ginseng extract(p<0.05).

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays an important role in detoxification and the metabolism of xenobiotics. Here we show that GSTP1 also regulates the MEKK1-MKK7 signaling pathway. Over-expression of GSTP1 in HEK293 cells inhibited both ${\Delta}MEKK1$- and etoposide-induced apoptosis, and inhibited procaspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. MEKK1- induced apoptosis requires both its kinase activity and proteolytic cleavage. ${\Delta}MEKK1$ activity was inhibited by over-expression of GSTP1 in vivo and MEKK1 kinase activity was also inhibited by GSTP1 in vitro when assayed with bacterially-expressed MKK7(KM) protein as substrate. GSTP1 inhibition of etoposide-induced cell apoptosis was mainly due to its ability to suppress MEKK1 kinase activity. The glutathione-conjugating activity of GSTP1 was essential for the above effects. These findings provide insight into the mechanism by which GSTP1 protects cells from genotoxin-induced apoptosis.

브레이싱재를 사용하는 목적은 본 골조체계 즉 기둥과 보에 비해 단면(강성)이 작은 부재로 보강하여 횡력에 대한 강성효과를 크게 향상시키기 위함이다. 브레이싱재의 단면이 기둥과 보의 단면에 비해 월등히 작기 때문에 압축력에 의한 좌굴의 위험성과 휨량의 크기에 비례하여 부재 중앙에 발생되는 추가 모멘트(P-.DELTA. Effect)에 의한 불리한 영향 및 해석상의 어려움 때문에 브레이싱의 설계에 있어서 브레이싱재는 압축력을 받지 않는 것으로 간주하여 왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 구조물 해석에 정확도가 요구되어짐에 따라 브레이싱재의 정확한 거동에 대한 연구가 실험을 통해 활발히 진행되어 왔고, 특히 탄성한계를 지난 소성상태에서 반복하중에 의한 거동 규명이 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 논문에서는 반복하중을 받는 강재 브레이싱재의 비선형 거동을 해석적 방법에 의해 규명했고, 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다.

PURPOSE. Polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) materials, also called hybrid ceramics, are new materials in dental market. The manufacturer of the PICN material VITA Enamic suggests 3 different finishing procedures for this new material. In the present study, surface roughness and color differences caused from different finishing procedures of VITA Enamic were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 120 specimens were prepared in dimensions $2{\times}10{\times}12mm$ from VITA Enamic hybrid ceramic blocks with 'high translucency' and 'translucency 2M2' shades. The specimens were divided into 8 groups. For each group, different finishing procedures suggested by the manufacturer were performed. Surface roughness values were determined by a tactile portable profilometer. Color changes were evaluated using a clinical spectrophotometer. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc comparison. The significance level was set at ${\alpha}=0.05$. RESULTS. The roughest surfaces were observed in Glaze Groups. Their surface roughness values were similar to that of the control group. Clinical Kit and Technical Kit groups did not show a statistically significant difference regarding surface roughness (P>.05). The largest color difference regarding ${\Delta}E_{00}$ was observed in Clinical Kit finishing groups. There were also statistically significant color changes between the groups (P<.05). However, all the groups showed clinically acceptable color change (${\Delta}E_{00}$<2.25) except Clinical Kit Groups (${\Delta}E_{00}$>2.25). CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of the present study, it may be suggested that finishing the VITA Enamic restorations by Technical Kit instead of Glaze and Clinical Kit gives better clinical performance in regard to surface roughness and shade matching.

Many researchers have proposed analytical methods to measure the adsorption of di-sulpho fluorescent whitening agents (D-FWAs), but practical methods for D-FWA utilization in an actual paper mill have not been established. In particular, the D-FWA adsorption behavior must be monitored in paper mills to ensure the effective use of D-FWAs. This study used the zeta-potential of pulps as an indicator of the adsorption behavior of a D-FWA. We identified the relationship between the actual adsorption of the D-FWA and the zeta-potential of the pulps as a function of D-FWA addition. zeta-potential measurements were then used to analyze the D-FWA adsorption behavior under different conditions of pulp type, conductivity, and pH. The actual adsorption of a D-FWA was proportional to the ${\Delta}zeta-potential$ of the pulps (i.e., the difference between the zeta-potential of a pulp containing no D-FWA and one containing the D-FWA). The ${\Delta}zeta-potential$ of the pulps was therefore adopted for adsorption analysis. A higher adsorption of the D-FWA was observed onto Hw-BKP than onto Sw-BKP because of the shorter fiber length and higher fines content of Hw-BKP. A high conductivity and an acidic pH decreased the D-FWA adsorption because of direct effects of high ion concentrations and low pH on the D-FWA solubility. Therefore, a D-FWA must be added to Hw-BKP under low conductivity conditions and at neutral or alkaline pH to optimize the D-FWA adsorption.
