Background: Although water chambers are often used as surrogate blood-warming devices to facilitate rapid warming of red blood cells (RBCs), these cells may be damaged if overheated. Moreover, filtered and irradiated RBCs may be damaged during the warming process, resulting in excessive hemolysis and extracellular potassium release. Methods: Using hand-held syringes, each unit of irradiated and leukocyte-filtered RBCs was rapidly passed through a water chamber set to different temperatures (baseline before blood warming, $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$). The resulting plasma potassium and free hemoglobin levels were then measured. Results: Warming RBCs to $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ induced significant increases in free hemoglobin (median [interquartile ranges] = 60.5 mg/dl [34.9-101.4] and 570.2 mg/dl [115.6-2289.7], respectively). Potassium levels after warming to $70^{\circ}C$ ($31.4{\pm}7.6mEq/L$) were significantly higher compared with baseline ($29.7{\pm}7.1mEq/L$; P = 0.029). Potassium levels were significantly correlated with storage duration after warming to $50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ (r = 0.450 and P = 0.001; r = 0.351 and P = 0.015, respectively). Conclusions: Rapid warming of irradiated leukoreduced RBCs to $50^{\circ}C$ may not further increase the extracellular release of hemoglobin or potassium. However, irradiated leukoreduced RBCs that have been in storage for long periods of time and contain higher levels of potassium should be infused with caution.

The induction of detoxification enzymes by benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and its synthetic N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) conjugate (NAC-BITC) was examined in Hepa1c1c7 murine hepatoma cells. BITC and NAC-BITC inhibited Hepa1c1c7 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Cell growth was 4.5~57.2% lower in Hepa1c1c7 cells treated with $0.1{\sim}1.0{\mu}M$ BITC than in control-treated Hepa1c1c7 cells. The NAC-BITC treatment had a similar inhibitory pattern on Hepa1c1c7 cell growth; $0.5{\mu}M$ and $10{\mu}M$ NAC-BITC decreased cell growth by 13.6% and 47.4%, respectively. Treatment of Hepa1c1c7 cells with $0.1{\sim}2.0{\mu}M$ BITC also elicited a dose-response effect on the induction of quinone reductase quinone reductase (QR) activity and QR mRNA expression. Treatment with $1{\mu}M$ and $2{\mu}M$ BITC caused 1.8- and 2.8-fold inductions of QR mRNA, respectively. By comparison, treatment with $1{\mu}M$ and $2{\mu}M$ NAC-BITC caused 1.6-and 1.9-fold inductions of QR mRNA, respectively. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and CYP2E1 induction were lower in $0.1{\sim}2{\mu}M$ BITC-treated cells than in control-treated cells. CYP2E1 activity was 1.2-fold greater in $0.1{\mu}M$ NAC-BITC-treated cells than in control-treated cells. However, the CYP2E1 activity of cells treated with higher concentrations (i.e., $1{\sim}2{\mu}M$) of NAC-BITC was similar to the activity of control-treated cells. Considering the potential of isothiocyanatesto prevent cancer, these results provide support for the use of BITC and NAC-BITC conjugates as chemopreventive agents.

The present study was to investigate the effect of naringin, a flavonoid, on the pharmacokinetics of losartan in rats. Pharmacokinetic parameters of losartan in rats were determined after an oral administration of losartan (9 mg/kg) in the presence or absence of naringin (0.5, 2.5 and 10 mg/kg). The pharmacokinetic parameters of losartan were significantly altered by the presence of naringin compared with the control group (given losartan alone). Presence of naringin significantly (p<0.05, 2.5 mg/kg; p<0.01, 10 mg/kg) increased the area under the plasma concentration?time curve (AUC) of losartan by 43.7~63.0% and peak plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) of losartan by 31.7~45.5%. Consequently, the absolute bioavailability (AB) of losartan in the presence of naringin was 43.8~62.9%, which was enhanced significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) compared to that in the oral control group (22.4%). The relative bioavailability (R.B.) of losartan increased by 1.44- to 1.63-fold in the presence of naringin. However, there was no significant change in the peak plasma concentration ($T_{max}$) and terminal half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of losartan in the presence of naringin. In conclusion, the presence of naringin significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of losartan, implying that presence of naringin might be mainly effective to inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A-mediated metabolism, resulting in reducing gastrointestinal and hepatic first-pass metabilism and Pglycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux of losartan in small intestine. Concurrent use of naringin or naringin-containing dietary supplement with losartan should require close monitoring for potential drug interactions.

This study was done to compare the nutritional status of antioxidant vitamins between college women smokers and nonsmokers. Dietary intakes and serum levels of antioxidant vitamins were determined in 33 smokers and 42 nonsmokers residing in the Seoul area. Dietary intakes of vitamin A and C were determined by a quick and convenient dietary intake method. Serum vitamin C level was measured by 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method and serum levels of vitamin A and E were measured by HPLC. The mean A intake of nonsmokers and smokers was 504.3$\mu$gR.E./day and 450. 4$\mu$gR.E./day and the mean vitamic C intake of nonsmokers and smokers was 51.6mg/day and 50.2mg/day, reapectively. There was no difference in the dietary intakes of antioxidant vitamins between smokers and nonsmokers. The serum vitamin A level, 0.71mg/1 in nonsmokers was not significantly different from that of 0.74mg/1 in smokers. However, the serum vitamin C level, 7.94mg/1 in smokers was 15% lower(p$\ll$0.05) than that of 9.30mg/1 in nonsmokers. The serum vitamin E level, 18.15mg/1 in smoders was also 34% lower(p$\ll$0.05) than that of 27.58mg/1 in nonsmokers. There was no significant correlation between dietary intakes and serum levels of vitamin A and C for both smokers and nonsmokers. These results suggest that cigarette smokers need more dietary intakes of vitamin C and E than do nonsmokers to reach the same serum level.

유지의 가수분해시, 반응온도, 금속이온, pH, 교반속도, 물-유지의 무게비 및 효소량 등의 환경 및 조성인자가 효소 Lipase-OF의 역가 및 가수분해특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 융점이 낮은 유지의 경우 Lipase-OF의 활성이 가장 높은 온도는 37$^{\circ}C$ 근방이었으나 융점이 4$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도 범위에서는 유지의 종류에 관계없이 온도가 상승하면 Lipase-OF의 활성이 급격히 감소하여 $65^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 효소의 활성이 정지되었다. 교반속도를 150, 250, 350, 450, 550 및 650 rmp으로 변화시켜가면서 유지의 가수분해실험을 수행하여 350 rpm 이하에서는 교반속도가 상승하면 가수분해율도 상승하였으나 교반속도 350 rpm 이상에서는 교반속도 상승에 대한 가수분해율의 변화를 찾아볼 수 없었다. 유지와 물의 무게비를 9 : 1에서 1 : 9까지 변화시켜가면서 가수분해실험을 수행하여 일정한 가수분해 시간에서 가수분해율이 가장 높은 무게비가 1 : 1 근방의 값임을 규명하였다. 금속 이온 중 $Ca^{2+}와\;Mg^{2+}$ 이온이 가수분해율 상승에 기여하였다. 금속이온이 없는 경우에 비하여 $Ca^{2+}$또는 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온 농도가 100 ppm 근방의 값일 때 2 내지 3%의 가수분해율 증가효과를 나타내었다. Lipase-OF에 대한 최적 pH는 7근방이었다. pH가 산성쪽으로 감소하면 가수분해율도 감소하였으며 알칼리쪽으로 증가하여도 가수분해율이 감소하였다. 기질의 0.00075 wt% 와 0.1 wt% 범위내에서 Lipase-OF량이 가수분해율에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 효소량 0.013 wt% 이하에서는 효소량이 증가하면 가수분해율도 증가하였으나 0.013 wt% 이상에서는 효소량이 증가하여도 가수분해율은 증가하지 않았다. Lipase-OF의 가수분해율에 미치는 환경 및 조성인자의 영향에 대한 실험을 통하여 최적온도는 37$^{\circ}C$, 최적 pH는 7, $Ca^{2+}\;또는\;Mg^{2+}$의 최적농도는 100 ppm, 최적교반속도는 350 rpm, 유지와 물의 최적무게비는 1 : 1 및 최적 효소량은 유지의 0.013 wt%임을 규명하였다.

The $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation of $16{\alpha}$, 17-epoxyprogesterone (EP) catalyzed by Rhizopus nigricans is crucial for the steroid industry. However, lower conversion rate of the biohydroxylation restricts its potential industrial application. The $11{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase CYP509C12 from R. oryzae were reported to play a crucial role in the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation in recombinant fission yeast. In the present study, the CYP509C12 of R. oryzae (RoCYP) was introduced into R. nigricans using the liposome-mediated mycelial transformation. Heterologous expression of RoCYP resulted in increased fungal growth and improved intracellular reactive oxygen species content in R. nigricans. The $H_2O_2$ levels in RoCYP transformants were approximately 2-folder that of the R. nigricans wild type (RnWT) strain, with the superoxide dismutase activities increased approximately 45% and catalase activities decreased approximately 68%. Furthermore, the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation rates of EP in RoCYP transformants (C4, C6 and C9) were 39.7%, 38.3% and 38.7%, which were 12.1%, 8.2% and 9.4% higher than the rate of the RnWT strain, respectively. This paper investigated the effect of heterologous expression of RoCYP in R. nigricans, providing an effective genetic method to construct the engineered strains for steroid industry.

$Ta_2O_5$박막은 고유전율의 특성으로 차세대 DRAM캐패시터 물질로 유망받고 있는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 p-type(100)Si 웨이퍼 위에 열 MOCVD 방법으로 $Ta_2O_5$박막을 성장시켰으며 기판온도, 버블러 온도, 반응압력의 조업조건이 미치는 영향을 고찰하엿다. 증착된 박막은 SEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, AES, TEM, AFM을 이용하여 분석하였으며 질소나 산소 분위기의 furnace 열처리 (FA)와 RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 통하여 열처리 효과를 살펴보았다. 반응온도에 따른 증착속도는 300 ~ $400 ^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 18.46kcal/mol의 활성화 에너지를 가지는 표면반응 율속단계와 400 ~ $450^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 1.9kcal/mol의 활성화 에너지를 가지는 물질전단 율속단계로 구분되었다. 버블러 온도는 $140^{\circ}C$일때 최대의 증착속도를 보였다. 반응압력에 따른 증착속도는 3torr에서 최대의 증착속도를 보였으나 굴절율은 0.1-1torr사이에 $Ta_2O_5$의 bulk값과 비슷한 2.1정도의 양호한 값이 얻어졌다. $400^{\circ}C$에서 층덮힘은 85.71%로 매우 양호하게 나타났으며 몬테카를로법에 의한 전산모사 결과와의 비교에 의해서 부착계수는 0.06으로 나타났다. FT-IR, AES, TEM 분석결과에 의하여 Si와 $Ta_2O_5$ 박막 계면의 산화막 두께는 FA-$O_{2}$ > RTA-$O_{2}$ ~ FA-$N_{2}$ > RTA-$N_{2}$ 순으로 성장하였다. 하지만 질소분위기에서 열처리한 박막은 산소분위기의 열처리경우에 비해 박막내의 산소성분의 부족으로 인한 그레인 사이의 결함이 많이 관찰되었다.

Four lactating Holstein Friesian crossbred cows, with an average initial weight of 450 kg, 48${\pm}$12 days in milk and initial milk yield of 18 kg/h/d, were randomly arranged according to a 2${\times}$2 factorial arrangement in a 4${\times}$4 in Latin square design with 21-d period to investigate the effects of type of total mixed ration (TMR) and type of whole cottonseed (WCS) on intake, digestibility and milk production. The dietary treatments were i) TMR and WCS supplementation at 0.5 kg/h/d, ii) TMR and cracked WCS (cWCS) supplementation at 0.5 kg/h/d, iii) fermented TMR (FTMR) and WCS supplementation at 0.5 kg/h/d, and iv) FTMR and cWCS supplementation at 0.5 kg/h/d. Voluntary feed intake was 15.9, 15.2, 15.4 and 15.6 kg DM/d in dietary treatment 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Digestibility of DM, OM, CP, EE, NDF and ADF were not significantly different among dietary treatments. Ruminal pH, $NH_{3}-N$ and volatile fatty acids in the rumen were also not significantly different among type of TMR or type of WCS. Blood urea-N concentration was not significantly different among dietary treatments. Ruminal bacteria population tended to increase but ruminal protozoa population tended to decrease with supplementation of cWCS, but they were not affected by FTMR. Milk yield and 3.5% FCM were not statistically different among treatments (16.6, 16.2, 17.0, 16.3 kg/d and 18.0, 18.6, 19.9 and 19.0 kg/d, respectively). Milk composition was not significantly different among dietary treatments. However, unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat in cows fed FTMR were lower (p<0.05) than in cows fed TMR. In conclusion, fermentation is a conceivable method to improve the quality of TMR for long-time storage and the cracking method is suitable to release the fat from cottonseed for enhancing fatty acid deposition in milk. Thus, the combination of FTMR and cWCS supplementation would be an alternative strategy to improve performance of lactating cows.
