Protein kinase C (PK-C) represents a central element transducing signals generated by a broad range of pathways which produce the lipid second messenger sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) directly or indirectly. Many dominant oncogenes have proven to function, at least in part, through this pathway Likewise, this pathway is involved in expression of other aspects of the transformed phenotype, such as tumor invasion or multidrug resistance. As expected from its broad role in cell signaling, PK-C Is also important in a range of other physiological and pathophysiological processes, including inflammation, differentiation, and nerve function.

In this paper, we describe a millimeter-wave radiation system developed for stimulating acupuncture points, and an analyzing system developed for monitoring the change of physiological signals after the stimulation such as ECG, skin temperature, skin potential and skin resistance. The systems are to be used to investigate the treatment efficacy and biological effects of the millimeter-wave, and eventually, can be used to study the acupuncture meridian system theory in the traditional Korean medicine.

In this paper, we determined the driver's stress and fatigue level through physiological signals of a driver in the connected car environment, accordingly designing and implementing the architecture of the connected cars' platforms needed to provide services to make the driving environments comfortable and reduce the driver's fatigue level. It includes a gateway between AVN and ECU for the vehicle control, a framework for native applications and web applications based on AVN, and a sensing device and an emotion estimation engine for application services. This paper will provide the element technologies for the connected car-based convergence services and their implementation methods, and reference models for the service design.

Development of body hair is an important physiological and cellular process that leads to better adaption in tropical environments for dairy cattle. Various studies suggested a major gene and, more recently, associated genes for hairy locus in dairy cattle. Main aim of this study was to i) employ a variant of the discordant sib pair model, in which half sibs from the same sires are randomly sampled using their affection statues, ii) use various single marker regression approaches, and iii) use whole genome regression approaches to dissect genetic architecture of the hairy gene in the cattle. Whole and single genome regression approaches detected strong genomic signals from Chromosome 23. Although there is a major gene effect on hairy phenotype sourced from chromosome 23: whole genome regression approach also suggested polygenic component related with other parts of the genome. Such a result could not be obtained by any of the single marker approaches.

In this paper, we quantitatively evaluated the anxiety data from humans in an anxiety state. It has been reported that the electric signals of human can be correlated with their emotional state. We chose heart rate, respiration rate, temperature and skin conductance as the anxiety parameters. For experiment protocol, the subject was given exercising load to induce the anxiety state and the exercise was done using the FITRON Cycle Ergometer. We divided the data into three stages: rest period, exercise period, and recovery period. During evaluation, We counted the heart rate, slope of heart rate, temperature change, and the skin conductance.

Sibjeondaebo-tang (SJDBT) is an oriental medicinal prescription for the treatments of diverse symptoms including neurological disorders. In order to investigate its potential role for neural regulation following nerve injury, neurite outgrowth of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in culture was investigated. In DRG neurons which were preconditioned by sciatic nerve injury, neurite outgrowth was enhanced by SJDBT treatment. When preconditioned DRG neurons were co-cultured with astrocytes prepared from injured spinal cord tissue, neurite outgrowth was similarly facilitated by SJDBT. Astrocytes in co-culture showed more intense signals of vimentin protein by SJDBT compared to saline control. Sukjihwang (SJH), a conventional herbal component of SJDBT prescription, did not induce any significant changes in neurite extension of DRG neurons compared to control cells. These data suggest that SJDBT may be the therapeutic agent for nervous system disorders related to nerve damage.

The process of drug discovery and development requires substantial resources and time. The drug industry has tried to reduce costs by conducting appropriate animal studies together with molecular biological and genetic analyses. Basic science research has been limited to in vitro studies of cellular processes and ex vivo tissue examination using suitable animal models of disease. However, in the past two decades new technologies have been developed that permit the imaging of live animals using radiotracer emission, X-rays, magnetic resonance signals, fluorescence, and bioluminescence. The main objective of this review is to provide an overview of small animal molecular imaging, with a focus on nuclear imaging (single photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography). These technologies permit visualization of toxicodynamics as well as toxicity to specific organs by directly monitoring drug accumulation and assessing physiological and/or molecular alterations. Nuclear imaging technology has great potential for improving the efficiency of the drug development process.

본 연구에서는 온열환경에 따른 쾌적감을 조사하기 위하여 온열환경을 평가할 수 있는 지표로서 생리신호를 분석하였다. 생리신호로는 인체의 자율신경계에 대한 반응을 나타내는 HRV변수 및 대뇌의 각성수준을 나타내는 CNA파형의 변이도를 이용하였다. HRV스펙트럼분석을 통해 얻어진 HF/LF변수를 이용하여 주어진 환경하에서 교감 및 부교감 신경의 활동성을 조사하였고, CNA 파형에서는 경고신호가 주어진 뒤 0.5-1초 구간의 면적값을 이용하여 온열쾌적감과의 상관성이 높게 나타나지 않은 반면, HRV스펙트럼분석에서는 휴지기에 비해 발과 얼굴부위에 대한 HF/LF값이 높은 사실을 통해 교감신경에 비해 부교감신경이 지배적이라는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 바과 얼굴이 주위온도에 따른 인체의 쾌적감을 변화시키는데에 있어서 주된 부위임을 나타내며 HRV스펙트럼분석 및 CNV파형의 관찰이 온열환경에 대한 쾌적감을 평가하는데 유용한 지표로 사용될 수 있음을 말해준다.

본 연구에서는 조도조건에 따른 VDT작업자의 각성도를 평가하기 위하여 10 lx와 1500 lx 2종류의 조도 조건으로 하여 모니터 상에서 1자리 숫자 3개를 더하는 단조연산작업을 수행하였다. 그 결과 155 lx보다 비교적 졸음이 쉽게 유발되며 주의집중정도가 낮은 조도 10 lx에서의 정답률이 더 낮게 나왔다. 또한, 두 조도조건 하에서 호흡간격은 작업수행시 큰 차이가 안 나타난 반면 RR간격은 10 lx에서는 작업수행 횟수가 증가함에 따라 점차 증가하지만 1500 lx에서는 거의 변화가 없었다.

A new pyrene appended diaza-18-crown-6 ether derivative 1 has been prepared and its fluoroionophoric properties toward transition metal ions were investigated. Compound 1 exhibited a high Hg2+-selectivity over other transition metal ions as well as alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in aqueous acetonitrile solution. The ratiometric analysis of the monomer and excimer emissions of pyrene successfully signals the presence of Hg2+ ions. The detection limit for Hg2+ ions was found to be 3.1 ´ 10-6 M in 50% aqueous acetonitrile solution at pH 8.1. Competition experiments also suggest that the compound could be utilized as a selective and sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for the analysis of micromolar Hg2+ ions in physiological and environmental samples.
