Objective : This study was designed to investigated effects of Pinelliae Rizoma (PR) on asthma Methods : Detecting antigen specific antibody isotypes, cytokines in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). In addition, the present author also investigated changes in weight of spleen and proliferation rates of splenocytes. Finally, histopathological observation of the lung tissue was also investigated. Results : Oral administration of PR lowered OVA specific IgE levels in serum, IgG1 levels in serum and BALF. PR also decreased production levels of IL-4 in BALF. In addition, total cells in BALF were decreased by oral administration of PR effectively. In histapathological observation, PR group showed downward tendency of inflammatory cell infiltration around small vessels. Conclusion : PR is useful to treat patients with asthma and the mechanisms are related in suppression of Th2 skewing reactions.

A method to analyze the anisotropy constants of a two sublattice system with uniaxial anisotropy has been investigated by extending the Sucksmith and Thompson's method to higher order anisotropy terms. Using the method, a set of anisotropy constants for Pr-sublattice of $Pr_2Fe_{14}B at 4.2K has been obtained as K_{1Pr}=5210 J/kg, K_{2Pr}=-7200 J/kg, K_{3Pr}=-770 J/kg, K_{4Pr}=4940 J/kg and K_{SPr}=700 J/kg for N_{PrFe}=2.2 T/Am^2kg^{-1}.$ The magnetization calculated by an energy minimum method by using the sublattice anisotropy constants well reproduced the experimental results and satisfied the simulation assumptions.

We report results of a comparative study of the normal-state and superconducting properties in the GdBa$_2$(Cu$_{2.9}$Al$_{0.1}$)O$_z$ system with substitutions by Pr for the Gd and Ba sites. It is observed that, fur both Pr-doped systems, the superconducting transition temperature(T$_c$) decreases almost linearly with the Pr-content, but Pr at Ba sites results in a faster T$_c$ drop than that of Pr at Gd sites. The thermoelectric power measurements indicate that there is a strong correlation between the T$_c$ and the room temperature value of thermoelectric power. The experimental results are discussed in connection with existing models.

동시 증발법(co-evaporation)에 의해 성장된 $CuIn_xGa_{1-x}Se_2$ (CIGS) 박막의 광학적 특성을 photoreflectance (PR) 분광법으로 연구하였다. 조성비 x는 0~1까지 변화시켰다. 시료의 두께는 약 2.2 ${\mu}m$였다. PR 측정은 변조빔 세기, 변조빔 주파수 및 온도의 함수로 조사하였다. PR 스펙트럼으로부터 조성비 x가 증가함에따라 시료의 띠간격 에너지가 증가하는 것을 관측하였다. 상온 PR 스펙트럼으로부터 시료내에 형성된 내부 전기장을 구하였다. 그리고 변조빔 세기의 증가에 따른 PR 신호의 세기는 점차 증가하는 반면에, 변조 주파수를 증가시킴에 따라 신호의 세기가 점차 감소함을 보였다. PR 신호의 온도 의존성 실험으로부터 띠간격 에너지의 변화 및 Varshni 계수 등을 구하여 CIGS 시료의 특성을 조사하였다.

Bis(phosphine)ruthenium derivatives $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl(PR_3)_2(PR_3=PMe_3,\; PMe_2Ph,\;PEt_3,\;PMePh_2$, 1/2DPPE, 1/2DPPB) (2a${\sim}$2f) have been synthesized by the reaction of $[({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl_2]_2$ (1) with excessive phosphine in ethanol. The reaction of complexes $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)Ru(PR_3)_2Cl\;with\;NaBH_4$ in ethanol gave the corresponding hydride complexes $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)Ru(PR_3)_2H (PR_3=PMe_3, PEt_3, PMePh_2$, 1/2 DPPE, 1/2DPPB) (3a${\sim}$3e). Chloride complexes (2a${\sim}$2f) and hydride complexes (3a${\sim}$3e) were isolated as crystals, which were characterized by IR, $^1H-NMR$ , and elemental analysis.

Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against phytophthora blight and pathogenesis-related (PR) protein accumulation by TMV infection in pepper plant (Capsicum annuum cv. Nockwang) were examined to understand the mechanism of the systemic acquired resistance in pepper plant. The zoospore suspension of Phytophthora capsici was inoculated on stem of pepper plant in which TMV-pepper strain had been inoculated on fully expanded upper leaves, and thephytopha blight incidence was examined. Both disease severity and lesion length of phytophthora blight were much smaller in TMV pre-inoculated pepper plant than in uninoculated control plants. The phytophthora blight incidence was decreased about 50% in the TMV pre-inoculated pepper, compared to the uninoculated control plant at 10 days after P. capsici inoculation. Accumulation of PR1 and PR5 proteins in intercellular fluid of TMV-inoculated and uninoculated upper leaves were monitored by immuno-blot with tobacco P1b and PR5a, antibody during induction of SAR. PR1 and PR5 were detected from 24 hours after TMV inoculation in both TMV-inoculated and uninouclated upper leaves, and increased rapidly in TMV-inoculation in uninoculated upper leaves were defoliated. PR5 could be detected upto 20 days after TMV inoculation in uninoculated upper leaves. These results suggest that TMV infection induces SAR against phytophthora blight in pepper plant, and that PR proteins are accumulated very rapidly during induction of SAR and maintained for quite long time in pepper plant.

The effects of temperature and flow rate of eluent on the separation of adjacent lighter lanthanide pairs (La : Ce, Ce : Pr, Pr: Nd) have been studied with displacement chromatography. Two serial columns packed with Amberlite 120 cation exchange resin are used for loading and separation. The retaining ion is $H^+$ ion and the eluent is 0.012M and 0.015M of EDTA solution. The columns and the eluent are maintained at the temperature of 90$^{\circ}C$ and pressurized to reduce vaporizing in the ion-exchange resin column. The eluated solution is analyzed directly with ICP-AES. The separation factors of the lanthanide pairs, La: Ce, Ce :Pr, and Pr: Nd, are 4.6, 2.8, and 1.9, respectively and are higher than that from theoretical calculation at 25$^{\circ}C$. When the flow rate is reduced from 2.5 ml/min to 1.5 ml/min, the HETP is reduced from 1.60 cm to 0.88 cm. The separation efficency can be improved at lower flow rate of eluent and higher operating temperature. The recoveries of pure lanthanides than 99.9% are 49∼77% from this separation.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Peucedani Radix herbal acupuncture(PR-HA) at St36(joksamni) on ovalbumin-induced asthma in mice. Methods : C57BL/6 mice were sensitized and challenged with OVA(ovalbumin) for 12 weeks(once a week) C57BL/6 mice were injected, inhaled and sprayed with OVA for 12 weeks (3times a week). One of the two experimental groups was just treated with needle-prick on St36 and the other group was treated with 1% concentrations of PR-HAS at St36, for the later 8 weeks (3times /week). Results : 1. The weight and total cells of lung of the mice group treated with PR-HA decreased significantly compared with those of control group. 2. Total Leukocytes and Eosinophils in BALF of the mice group treated with PR-HA decreased significantly compared with those of control group. 3. Eosinophils in BALF of the mice group treated with PR-HA in Photomicrographs decreased significantly compared with those of control group. 4. According to Histological analysis of lung sections, it decreased significantly adhension of collagen in PR-HA than those of control group 5. The concentration of IgE, IL-4, IL-5, in BALF and IL-4, IL-5, Il-13 in serum of the mice group treated with PR-HA decreased significantly compared with that of control group. 6. The number of Gr-1+/CD11b+, CD11b+, CD3-/CCR3+, CD4+, CD3e+/CD69+ , CD23+B220+ cells in the lungs of the mice group treated with PR-HA decreased significantly compared with those of control group. 7. The cytokine's manifestation of mRNA of the mice group treated with PR-HA with RT-PCR decreased significantly compared with that of control group. Conclusion : We conclude that PR-HA is effective on OVA-induced asthma of C57BL/6 mouse.

The purpose of this study is to investigate PR-VEP characteristics on the perception function(S/N) and the judgement function(T/F) of MBTI. The 136 study participants, over 20 years old adults, were examined by PR-VEP and MBTI test for two months in July and August in 2013. PR-VEP was conducted in O1 and O2 by 32 channels EEG system and MBTI test was measured by Form-M online. We found that the time interval(Duration) between N75 and P100 of PR-VEP was 5.49 ms significantly shorter in the group preferring S indicator. And the latency until N75 was 4.83 ms significantly shorter in O1 and 4.27 ms shorter in O2 in the group preferring F indicator. According to these, the characteristics of groups preferring S and F indicator have influence on visual cognitive function, which is meaningful that the interpretation of brain-science can be used with recognition/judgement function of MBTI.
