The Condonopsis lanceolata Trautv. was planted in field to investigate the effect of afterwards shading in the condition of sun light of fifty six percent on the characteristics of photosynthesis according to leaf position at flowering stage. The vine length and leaf area were increased with shading treatment in comparison with that of non-shading. Dry weight of leaf and vine indicate opposite tendency with the result above. SLA (specific leaf area) was much more increased in shaded leaves than that obtained from non-shading treatment. The shaded leaves of plant show a higher SPAD value than that of non-shaded leaves. The net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were increased as the PAR was increased. And it is the maximum valve (PAR of 700-1000 ${\mu}$mol/m$^2$/s of PAR) of all leaves. Overnurse and light saturation point of the Condonopsis lanceolata Trautv. shading-treated was improved in comparison with control as net photosynthetic rates of leaves positioned on each part of the stem was increased.

The purpose of this study was to promote the consumption of rice by substitution in the process of making par-baked morning buns made with cereal powder in dietary fiber (Brown rice, Barley, Oat, goami 2) and strong flour. Strong flour had the highest fermentation rate for 75 min fermentation period. The volume index of the strong flour morning buns was the highest. The hardness of the strong flour morning buns was measured by a texture analyzer, GR4 respectively. The L-values of strong flour morning buns were higher than those of the Goami powder morning buns. In the sensory evaluation the overall preference was the highest in strong flour morning buns. Among the cereal powder morning buns, the GR4 was the most preferred.

Three leaf vegetables, namely green lettuce, red lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and red-veined chicory (Cichorium intybus) were grown in minigreenhouses covered with two new functional films and conventional polyethylene film (PE). Seedlings of leaf vegetables were transplanted in a plastic troughs filled with soil-perlite mixture. Two functional films were made from polyolefin (PO) material. Measurement of optical characteristics showed that polyolefin films have better transmittance for the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR, 400-700nm) and higher absorptance for the ultraviolet radiation (UV, 300-400nm) in comparison with the conventional PE film. After three months of utilization higher loss in PAR transmittance was observed for conventional PE film. Leaf vegetables growth was enhanced and yield was increased in greenhouses covered by new functional films.

Silymarin has been known to exert anti-tumoral activity in Korea. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not understood. In this study, we found that silymarin induced apoptosis in androgen-independent prostate cancer DU145 cells as confirmed by DNA fragmentation. Our data demonstrated that silymarin-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and subsequent cleavages of its substrates, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Also, silymarin-induced apoptotic mechanism of DU145 cells involved the induction of Par-4 protein expression. Taken together, these results suggest that silymarin induces the activation of caspase-3, degradation of PARP, increase of Par-4 expression, and eventually leads to apoptotic cell death.

Takrisodokyeum (TRSDY) has been known to exert anti-tumoral activity in Korea. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not understood. In this study, we found that TRSDY induced apoptosis in androgen-independent prostate cancer DU145 cells as evidenced by DNA fragmentation and chromatine condensation in hoechst 33342 dye staining. Our data demonstrated that TRSDY-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by increases of PTEN and Par-4 in a time-dependent manner Taken together, these results suggest that TRSDY induce PTEN and Par-4 expression, and eventually lead to apoptotic cell death in androgen independent prostate cancer DU145 cells.

본 연구에서는 금강 유역을 대상으로 토양저류함수모형기반의 개념적 강우유출모형의 장기 유출모의를 평가하였다. 연구유역인 금강 22개 계측유역을 주요 유역특성인자(면적, 경사도, SCS-CN등)을 수문학적 거리 산정방법을 활용하여 3개의 유역그룹을 선정하였다. 적용모형인 개념적 강우유출모형은 3개의 토양저류함수모형[확률분포모형(PDM: Probability Distributed Moisture), 유역습윤지수모형(CWI: Catchment Wetness Index), 수정펜맨타입모형(MP: Modified Penman type model)]과 3개의 유역추적모형[병렬2선형 저류지 유출 모형(2PAR: 2-conceptual reservoirs in parallel), 빠른 지표하 흐름을 고려한 병렬 2선형 저류지 유출모형(2PMP: 2Macro-pre Approach parallel structure), 병렬 3선형 저류지 유출모형(3PAR: 3-conceptual reservoirs in parallel)]의 조합인 9개의 모형을 사용하였으며, 2006년부터 2012년의 일자료를 바탕으로 검정(Calibration), 2001년부터 2005년의 일자료를 검증(Validation)을 Monte carlo method(Uniform Random Sampling)로 수행 후, 모형의 성능은 NSE(Nash sutcliffe Efficiency)로 평가하였다. 분석결과 유역그룹에 대한 모형성능의 편차는 작아서 유역그룹에 대한 토양저류 함수모형의 뚜렷한 상관성을 확인할 수 없었다. 이는 금강 유역을 단일 유역 그룹으로 적용할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다. 검정 검증성능 및 검정매개변수의 개수를 바탕으로 적용성 평가를 실시한 결과에서 토양저류함수모형인 확률분포모형(PDM)과 유역추적모형의 병렬2선형 저류지 유출모형(2PAR)와 빠른 지표하 흐름을 고려한 병렬2선형 저류지 유출모형(2PMP)의 조합이 금강 22개 유역에서 적용성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 향후 이 모형을 바탕으로 금강유역의 대표적인 강우유출모형을 개발하고자 한다.

Land-based seaweed (Gracilaria) cultivation systems may provide products with high quality and biosafety for human consumption, as well as for other high value applications. However, a limitation for this land based system is high management costs. The objective of this study was to determine if the management costs for Gracilaria cultivation can be reduced without a decrease in productivity by using $CO_2$ injection along with a high stocking density and high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and commercially available fertilizers. When Gracilaria tikvahiae was cultivated at a high stocking density and high PAR, coupled with $CO_2$ enhancement, the productivity was significantly higher than that at a lower stocking density, low light without $CO_2$ injection. We also found that G. tikvahiae grown in a medium of commercially available fertilizer (Jack's Special, JS) showed a similar growth rate and productivity to that grown in von Stosch's enriched (VSE) seawater, while the cost for JS media is only 2% of the cost for VSE. These results suggest that $CO_2$ injection and commercial fertilizer may be a potential way to provide sustainability in land-based Gracilaria cultivation systems.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in children, which is a kind of nephrotic syndrome showing steroid resistance, usually progresses to a substantial number of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Although the pathogenesis of primary FSGS is unclear, several recent studies have reported that FSGS is associated with circulating immune factors such as soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) or anti-CD40 autoantibody. We report a successfully treated case of a 19-year-old female patient who experienced a recurrence of primary FSGS. After the diagnosis of FSGS, the patient progressed to ESRD and received a kidney transplantation (KT). Three days later, recurrence was suspected through proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia. She has been performed plasmapheresis and high dose methylprednisolone pulse therapy and shown remission status without increasing proteinuria for four years after KT. In conclusion, strong immunosuppressive therapy may be helpful for a good prognosis of recurrent FSGS, suppressing several immunologic circulating factors related disease pathogenesis.

Many experimental and analytical studies have been conducted with beam-column subassemblages composed of a two-span beam to investigate the progressive collapse resistance of RC frames. Most study results reveal a strength-decreased transition phase in the nonlinear static load-deflection curve, which may induce dynamic snap-through response and increase the chord rotation demand for effective catenary action (ECA). In this study, the nonlinear static response is idealized as a piecewise linear curve and analytical pseudo-static response is derived for each linearized region to investigate the rotation demands for the ECA of the two-span RC beams. With analytical parameters determined from several published test results, numerical analysis results indicate that the rotation demand of 0.20 rad recommended in the design guidelines does not always guarantee the ECA. A higher rotation demand may be induced for the two-span beams designed with smaller span-to-depth ratios and it is better to use their peak arch resistance (PAR) as the collapse strength. A tensile reinforcement ratio not greater than 1.0% and a span-to-depth ratio not less than 7.0 are suggested for the two-span RC beams bridging the removed column if the ECA is expected for the collapse resistance. Also, complementary pseudo-static analysis is advised to verify the ECA under realistic dynamic column loss even though the static PAR is recovered in the nonlinear static response. A practical empirical formula is provided to estimate an approximate rotation demand for the ECA.
