This study was conducted to evaluate antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive enzyme activity in water extract (SAW) and 60% ethanol extract (SAE) from Stachys sieboldii. As the treatment concentration of each extract S. sieboldii extract increased, antibacterial and antioxidant activity increased. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents of SAW were 106.25 ± 0.94 mgGAE/g, 24.4 ± 0.24 mgQE/g and SAE were 124.61 ± 1.11 mgGAE/g, 45.2 ± 3.52 mgQE/g, respectively. The 400 ㎍/mL of SAW and SAE performed more than 53% protective effects against oxidative stress in HepG2 cell lines. All extracts were not showed cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cell line at 100 ㎍/mL. NO production was reduced to 44.3 ± 1.4% for SAW and 45.1 ± 1.0% for SAE at a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL. The production of inflammatory cytokines each TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 was inhibited in a concentration-dependent. S. sieboldii extract did not showed Caco-2 cells cytotoxicity and inhibited NO production in concentration-dependent. As the concentration of the S. sieboldii extract increased of α-amylase and protease enzymes activity, which are digestive enzyme. As a result of the experiment, it is judged that it can be used as basic data for the development of health food using S. sieboldii.

Performance requirements for automatic transmission fluids have been changed reflecting the design changes of automatic transmissions. The major purpose of these design changes is concentrated upon improvements of both fuel economy and drivability. In order to formulate such high performance ATFs as satisfy those requirements, it is necessary to use high quality base oils like VHVI base oils and PAOs. In this study, the effect of base oils characteristics on ATF performance is investigated, mainly regarding differences in frictional characteristics with deterioration. Frictional characteristics are determined using the SAE No. 2 machine and ATFs are deteriorated under various controlled conditions. Moreover low-temperature fluidity, oxidation stability, and seal compatibility are also compared for four different ATFs. From the investigation, it was found that the use of Group III and IV base oils in ATFs gives several benefits with respect to low temperature viscosity, oxidation stability and SAE No.2 friction characteristics.

This study confirmed emulsion stability after performing antioxidant, whitening, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory efficacy evaluation to find out the availability of Sicyos angulatus L. (SA) which is designated as an ecological disturbance species as a functional cosmetic material. SA was extracted with Deionized Water (SAW) and 70% EtOH (SAE). Compared to SAW, SAE has excellent antioxidant efficacy by showing scavenging activity and SOD-like activity against DPPH radical and ABTS⁺ radical, and inhibits melanin production by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase. SAW had no antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli (E.c), Staphylococcus epidermidis (S.e), Staphylococcus aureus (S.a), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a), and Cutibacterium acnes (C.a) strains, while SAE showed antibacterial activity by producing clear zones in E.c, S.e, P.a, and C.a strains except S.a. In LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells, SAE showed efficacy against anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the production of NO by inhibiting the expression of iNOS and COX-2 than SAW. It was confirmed that the SAE-added emulsion was not separated at temperatures of 4℃, 25℃, and 50℃, the pH and viscosity did not change significantly in numerical terms, and the particle size was similar to that of the control emulsion, so it did not affect the formulation. Based on these results, we suggest its potential as a new material for functional cosmetics research.

Injured spleens have been successfully managed without operation in a number of children; however, splenectomy or splenic-conserving surgery may not be avoided because of exsanguinating hemorrhage. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of splenic arterial embolization (SAE) to control hemorrhage from injured spleens in children. We compared the outcomes of two groups of children with splenic injury. The first group (G1) consisted of eighteen children who were managed with conventional selective nonoperative treatment between 1993 and 1994. The second group (G2) consisted of 23 children prospectively studied from 1996 to 1997 after SAE was added in the management protocol of splenic injury. The criteria for SAE were grade III or IV injury, extravasation of contrast material revealed by CT, or unstable vital signs without evidence of associated injuries. Laparotomy was performed in 6 patients of G1 (33.3 %), 2 of whom had associated injuries. Five underwent splenectomy and the overall salvage rate in G1 was 72.2 % (13/18). In G2, eight patients (34.8 %) had SAE, which stopped bleeding successfully in all patients. Two of G2 (8.7 %) had laparotomy because of associated injuries. Only one patient underwent splenectomy and the salvage rate was 95.6 % (22/23). No patients required transfusion after SAE. In conclusion, the SAE effectively controlled hemorrhage from injured spleens. More spleens were salvaged with a reduced laparotomy rate after application of SAE in splenic injury.

Objectives : In this report, we investigated the effect of ethanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum(L.) Merr. & Perry.(SAE) on the RBL-2H3 cell-mediated allergic response and studied its possible mechanisms of action. Methods : Cytotoxicity on RBL-2H3 cell was evaluated by MTT assay. Anti-allergic activity of SAE was assessed by ${\beta}$-Hexosaminidase and Histamine secretion, ${\beta}$- Hexosaminidase and Histamine secretion were measured by ELISA assay. Evaluate the mechanisms of effect of SAE on the secretion of degranulate mediators, we examined the effect of SAE on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases using western blot analysis. Results : SAE had no cytotoxicity on rat basophilic leukemia cell(RBL-2H3). Moreover SAE dose-dependently inhibited RBL-2H3 cell degranulation and histamine release. SAE specifically blocked the IgE-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Conclusions : Our findings provide evidence that Syzygium aromaticum ethanol extract inhibits mast cell derived allergic reaction, and also demonstrate the involvement of p38 MAPK phosphorylation.

Inertia friction welding, a relatively recent innovation in the art of joining materials, is a forge-welding process that releases kinetic energy stored in the flywheel as frictional heat when two parts are rubbed together under the right conditions. In a comparatively short time, the process has become a reliable method for joining ferrous, and dissimilar metals. The process is based on thrusting one part, attached to a flywheel and rotating at a relatively high speed, against a stationary part. The contacting surfaces, heated to plastic temperatures, are forged together to produce a reliable, high-strength weld. Welds are made with little or no workpiece preparation and without filler metal or fluxes. However, In order to obtain a good weld, the determination of the optimum weld parameters is an important problem. Especially, because the amount of the flywheel mass will be determined according to the initial rotating velocity values at the constant thrust load, the initial rotating velocity is an important factor to affect a weld character of the inertia-welded IN713C-SAE8630, which is used for the wheel-shafts of turbine rotors or turbochargers, exhausting valves, etc. In this paper, the effects of initial rotational velocity on a weld character of inertia-welded IN713C-SAE8630 was studied through considerations of weld parameters determination, micro-structural observations and tensile tests. The results are as the following: 1) As initial rotating velocity was reduced to 267 FPM, cracks and carbide stringers were completely eliminated in the micro-structure of welded zone. 2) As initial rotating velocity was reduced and flywheel mass was increased correspondingly, the maximum welding temperatures were decreased and the plastic working in the weld zone was increased. 3) As initial rotating velocity was progressively decreased and carbides were decreased, the tensile strengths were increased. 4) And also the fracture location moved out of the weld zone and the tensile tests produced, the failures only in the cast superalloy IN713C which do not extend into the weld area. 5) The proper initial rotating velocity could be determined as about 250 thru 350 FPM for the better weld character.
