Objective : Canavalia gladiata DC semen (CGS) have been used to improve hematopoietic activity. In the current study, we investigated whether CGS regulate hemato-potentiating function using hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as a testing system. Methods : HSCs isolated from femur in mice with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia induced induced by CTX. Then, Real-time PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression and hematopoietic related gene (EPO, IL-3, SCF, c-kit, GM-CSF), the phoaphorylation of GATA-1 and STAT-5a/b were observed by ELISA method, and the number of granulocyte erythrocyte monocyte macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GEMM) and erythroid burst forming units (BFU-E), semisolid clonogenic assay was performed. Result : When HSCs were treated with CGS, the expression of hematopoietic related genes (EPO, IL-3, SCF, c-kit, and GM-CSF) were significantly increased at the levels of mRNA as well as production in HSCs. Additionally, CGS enhanced phosphorylation of STAT-1 and signal transducer and activator of transcription-5a/b (STAT-5a/b) in HSCs. Furthermore, CGS significantly enhanced the growth rate of granulocyte erythrocyte monocyte macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GEMM) and erythroid burst forming units (BFU-E) in vitro. Conclusion : These result suggest that CGS has hematopoietic enhancement via hematopoietic cytokine-mediated GATA-1/STAT-5a/b pathway.

에탄의 회전 장벽에 미치는 두개의 탄소 원자의 영향을 알아보기 위해 6개의 수소만으로 이루어진 탄소가 없는 에탄올 모델로 택하여 이 모델 분자의 Staggered 및 eclipsed꼴의 에너지를 McWeeny의 open-shell RHF-SCF방법으로 계산하고,staggred에서 eclipsed로 꼴이 변할때의 천이밀도를 조사 하였다. 예상대로 모델 분자에서는 ecliped꼴이 staggered꼴보다 안정하였다. 이 탄소없는 에탄의 천이 밀도와 실제 에탄의 천이 밀도를 비교 분석하여, 에탄의 회전 장벽은 중심축 위치에 있는 두개의 탄소 원자로 인해 staggered에서 eclipsed꼴로 변함에 따라 수소 원자 주위의 전자 밀도가 희석되고, 탄소 원자 주위와 탄소-탄소 결합 공간으로 끌리므로 해서, 전자 에너지 감소가 핵간 반발 에너지의 증가를 상쇄하지 못하는데 기인한다는 것을 알게 되었다.

To test the fracture toughness of alumina; a Surface-Crack-in-Flexure (SCF) method, a Single-Edge-Precracked-Beam (SEPB) method and a Single-Edge-V-Notched-Beam (SEVNB) method were used at crosshead rates ranging from 0.005 mm/min to 2 mm/ min and relative humidity ranging from $15\%\;to\;80\%$. The results show that the fracture toughness tested by the SCF method increases with either an increasing loading rate or decreasing relative humidity; in contrast, the toughness by the SEPB method and the SEVNB method does not depend on the loading rate or the relative humidity. Theoretical analysis of the way slow crack growth affects the apparent fracture toughness indicates that the three testing methods have different effects with respect to the loading rate and the relative humidity; moreover, these differences are attributable to differences in the size of the cracks or notches.

This study was carried out to examine the action mechanism of Chamaecyparis obtusa oil (CO) on hair growth in C57BL/6 mice. For alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase (${\gamma}$-GT) activities in the skin tissue, at week 4, the 3% minoxidil (MXD) and 3% CO treatment groups showed an ALP activity that was significantly higher by 85% (p < 0.001) and 48% (p < 0.05) and an ${\gamma}$-GT activity that was significantly higher by 294% (p < 0.01) and 254% (p < 0.05) respectively, as compared to the saline (SA) treatment group. For insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) mRNA expression in the skin tissue, at week 4, the MXD and CO groups showed a significantly higher expression by 204% (p < 0.05) and 426% (p < 0.01) respectively, as compared to the SA group. At week 4, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in the MXD and CO groups showed a significantly higher expression by 74% and 96% (p < 0.05) respectively, however, epidermal growth factor (EGF) expression in the MXD and CO groups showed a significantly lower expression by 66% and 61% (p < 0.05) respectively, as compared to the SA group. Stem cell factor (SCF) expression in the MXD and CO groups was observed by immunohis-tochemistry as significant in a part of the bulge around the hair follicle and in a part of the basal layer of the epidermis. Taking all the results together, on the basis of effects on ALP and ${\gamma}$-GT activity, and the expression of IGF-1, VEGF and SCF, which are related to the promotion of hair growth, it can be concluded that CO induced a proliferation and division of hair follicle cells and maintained the anagen phase. Because EGF expression was decreased significantly, CO could delay the transition to the catagen phase.

During mitosis. the proper segregation of duplicated chromosomes is corrdinated by a spindle check-point. The bifurcated spindle checkpoint blocks cell cycle progression at metaphase by monitoring unattached kinetochores and inhibits mitotic exit in response to the misorientation of the mitotic spin- dle Ibd1p/Bfa1p is a spindle checkpoint regulator of budding yeast in the Bub2p checkpoint pathway for mitotic exit and its disruption abolishes mitotic arrest when proper organization of the mitotic spin-dls inhibited. Ibd1p/Bfa1p localizes to the spindle pole body, a microtublue-organizing center in yeast, and its overexpression arrests the cell cycle in 80% of cells with an enlarged budy at mitosis and in 20 % of cells with multiple buds. In this study, we found that the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p phys-ically interacts with Skp1p, a key component of SCF (Skp1/cullin/F-box) complex for ubiquition-medi-ated proteolysis of cel cycle regulatores as well as an evolutionally conserved kinetochore protein for cell cycle progression. A putative F-box motif was found in the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p and its function was investigated by making mutants of conserved residues in the motif. These Ibd1p/Bfa1p mutants of a putative F-box interacted with SKp1p in vitro by two-hybrid assays as wild type Ibd1p/Bfa1p. Also these Ibd1p/Bfa1p utants displayed the overexpression phenotypes of wild type Ibd1p, when over-expressed under inducible promoters . These results suggest that a putative F-box motif of Ibd1p/Bfa1p is not essential for the interaction with SKp1p and its function in mitotic exit and cytokinesis.

The effects of hydro-meteorological and surface variables on the frequency of Asian dust events (FAE) were investigated using ground station and satellite-based data. Present weather codes 7, 8, and 9 derived from surface synoptic observations (SYNOP)were used for counting FAE. Surface wind speed (SWS), air temperature (Ta), relative humidity (RH), and precipitation were analyzed as hydro-meteorological variables for FAE. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), land surface temperature (LST), and snow cover fraction (SCF) were used to consider the effects of surface variables on FAE. The relationships between FAE and hydro-meteorological variables were analyzed using Z-score and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. Although all variables expressed the change of FAE, the degrees of expression were different. SWS, LST, and Ta (indices applicable when Z-score was < 0) explained about 63.01, 58.00, and 56.17% of the FAE,respectively. For NDVI, precipitation, and RH, Asian dust events occurred with a frequency of about 55.38, 67.37, and 62.87% when the Z-scores were > 0. EOF analysis for the FAE showed the seasonal cycle, change pattern, and surface influences related to dryness condition for the FAE. The intensity of SWS was the main cause for change of FAE, but surface variables such as LST, SCF, and NDVI also were expressed because wet surface conditions suppress FAE. These results demonstrate that not only SWS and precipitation, but also surface variables, are important and useful precursors for monitoring Asian dust events.

Zn의 생화학적 역할을 연구하기 위하여, 간단한 모델시스템을 설정하였다. 즉, Zn가 리간드인 $OH_2나 NH_3$와 배위결합을 이루거나 carboxypeptidase A (CPA)의 기질에 해당하는 펩티드의 O=C-와 배위결합을 할 때, 그 기하학적 구조 및 net atomic charge의 변화를 조사하였다. Double Zeta basis set를 사용한 ab initio HF-SCF 계산에 의하면, Zn는 이들 리간드의 O-H, N-H, O=C-를 매우 polar하게 만든다. 특히, 펩티드의 탄소는 친전자성이 매우 증가하여, nucleophile의 공격을 용이하게 받을 수 있을 것으로 예측되었다. 또한, CPA에서 Zn 주위에 있는 리간드의 분자배위 상태를 조사하기 위하여, CPA+glycyltyrosine complex에 관한 molecular mechanics방법을 적용하였다. 이 결과를 X-ray 결과와 비교하였을 때, Zn는 4배위 결합 이외에 물분자도 관여할 것으로 예측된다.

홍화로부터 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 황색소(safflower yellow)를 추출할 때의 최적 조건을 조사하였다. 여러 온도$(40,\;50,\;60,\;70,\;80^{\circ}C)$와 압력(2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 psig) 조건에서 추출을 하였으며 수율을 증가시키기 위해 물을 보조용매(0, 3, 6, 10, 14 wt%)로 하여 실험을 수행하였으며 색소분석은 spectrophotometer를 이용하였다. 황색소의 추출 수율은 $60^{\circ}C$, 4000 psig에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 보조용매로 물을 사용하였을 때는 10 wt%일 때 황색소의 추출이 가장 잘 되었고 그 이상에서는 오히려 추출량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 시료의 수분함량은 초임계 유체 추출 시 수율과 밀접한 관련이 있는데 홍화의 황색소 추출 시에도 시료의 수분함량이 낮을수록 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 초임계 유체를 이용하여 최적 조건에서 추출한 경우 황색소의 수율은 용매로 추출한 경우에 비해 6% 정도 증가하였다. 상기의 결과로 초임계 이산화탄소 추출법은 홍화로부터 황색소의 추출에 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
