Baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-phenyl-chromen-4-one) is a flavone, a type of flavonoid, originally isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis. This study evaluated the protective effects of baicalein against oxidative damage-mediated apoptosis induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). Baicalein absorbed light within the wavelength range of UVB. In addition, baicalein decreased the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to UVB radiation. Baicalein protected cells against UVB radiation-induced DNA breaks, 8-isoprostane generation and protein modification in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, baicalein suppressed the apoptotic cell death by UVB radiation. These findings suggest that baicalein protected HaCaT cells against UVB radiation-induced cell damage and apoptosis by absorbing UVB radiation and scavenging ROS.

CAX1 유전자가 도입된 형질전환 벼는 T3 세대까지 34계통을 모식물인 일품벼와 공시하였고, 그 외 종자 내 칼슘함량 조사를 비롯한 5가지 실험에서 이전에 실시한 Southern 분석 결과 CAX1 prove의 band 양상이 뚜렷이 나타난 7계 통(T-14, T-15, T-17, T-18, T-19, T-20, T-24)을 $T_4{\sim}T_6$ 계통에서 공시하였다. 앞으로 $T_7$ 세대에 대한 특성조사를 거쳐 $Ca^{2+}$함량이 안정적으로 높게 유지되는 계통을 선발하여 세대육성하면 칼슘과 관련된 유전자의 내재해성 작물의 기초자료 이용뿐만 아니라 농산물의 품질 고급화 및 안정성 향상 그리고 병충해에 의한 농작물 피해를 줄일 수 있는 효과를 가져 오고자 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. $T_4$ 세대에서 형질이 안정적으로 발현되면서 모품종과 유사하고 농업적 형질이 우수한 5 계통을 선발하여 $T_6$세대까지 농업적인 생육 안정성(수장, 수수, 간장)은 15, 17, 18, 24 계통들은 출수기가 모품종인 일품벼와 비슷한 경향이었고 14, 19, 20계통들은 일품벼보다 6~11일까지 늦어지는 경향이었다. 형질전환체 7 계통의 간장을 조사한 결과 14 계통을 제외하고는 대부분 모품종인 일품벼와 유사하게 나타났다. CAX1 형질전환체인 $T_5{\sim}T_6$세대에서 병저항성은 일품 모품종보다 벼도열병(blast)과 벼잎집무늬마름병(sheath blight)의 방제가가 낮게 나왔으며, 벼도열병은 2 년간 모두 모품종에 대비해 T-14, 17, 18, 19, 20은 방제가가 높게 나타나 병저항성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 벼잎집무늬마름병은 T-14, 19, 20, 24 계통이 방제가가 높게 나타났으며, 벼도열병과 벼잎집무늬마름병 모두 방제가가 높은 계통은 T-14, 19, 20 으로 조사되었다. 저온처리 된 벼의 초장 조사에서 각각 온실과 $17^{\circ}C$의 두 조건에 있어서 온실에서의 초장 조사와 생존 개체수를 대비해 볼 때 일품벼와 형질전환체 모두 정상적인 발육상태를 보였으나, 저온조건에서 초장 조사는 일품벼에 비해 $T_6$-19을 제외한 형질전환 계통들이 양호하였으며 $T_6$-18, 24 계통은 내한성 품종인 상주벼와 유사하거나 조금 차이가 났다. 종자내의 캄슘함량을 분석하기 위하여 $T_3{\sim}T_7$ 종자를 이용하여 얻어진 결과는 $T_3$ 종자에서 452.2~1,376.2%로 칼슘함량이 증가되었고 분자 marker에 의해 선발하여 된 T7종자까지 분석한바 13.4~68.0%로 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

Atrial myocytes have two functionally separate groups of ryanodine receptors (RyRs): those at the periphery colocalized with L-type $Ca^{2+}$channels (DHPRS) and those a t the cell interior not associated with DHPRs. $Ca^{2+}$ current ($I_{ca}$) directly gates peripheral RyRs on action potential and the subsequent peripheral $Ca^{2+}$ release propagates into the center of atrial myocytes. The mechanisms that regulate the $Ca^{2+}$+ propagation wave remain Poorly understood. Using 2-D confocal$Ca^{2+}$ imaging, we examined the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP $_3R$) and mitochondria on ($I_{ca}$)- gated local $Ca^{2+}$ signaling in rat atrial myocytes. Blockade of IP $_3R$ by xestospongin C (XeC) partially suppressed the magnitudes of I ca-gated central and peripheral $Ca^{2+}$ releases with no effect on $I_{ca}$. Mitochondrial staining revealed that mitochondria were aligned with ${\thickapprox}2-{\mu}m$ separations in the entire cytoplasm of ventricular and atrial myocytes. Membrane depolarization induced rapid mitochondrial $Ca^{2+}$ rise and decay in the cell periphery with slower rise in the center, suggesting that mitochondria may immediately uptake cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$, released from the peripheral SR on depolarization, and re-release the $Ca^{2+}$ into the cytosol to activate neighboring central RyRs. Our data suggest that the activation of IP $_3R$ and mitochondrial $Ca^{2+}$ handing on action potential may serve as a cofactor for the $Ca^{2+}$ propagation from the DHPR-coupled RyRs to the DHPR-uncoupled RyRs with large gaps between them.

Wilson and Bappu found a tight correlation between the stellar absolute visual magnitude (MV) and the width of the Ca II K emission line for late-type stars in 1957. Here, we revisit the Wilson-Bappu relationship (hereafter, WBR) to claim that WBR can be an excellent indicator of stellar surface gravity of late-type stars as well as a distance indicator. We have measured the width (W) of the Ca II K emission line in high resolution spectra of 125 late-type stars, which were obtained with Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) and adopted from the UVES archive. Based on our measurement of the emission line width (W), we have obtained a WBR of $M_V=33.76-18.00{\log}W$. In order to extend the WBR to be a surface gravity indicator, the stellar atmospheric parameters such as effective temperature ($T_{eff}$), surface gravity (logg), metallicity ([Fe/H]), and micro-turbulence (${\xi}_{tur}$) have been derived from the self-consistent detailed analysis using the Kurucz stellar atmospheric model and the abundance analysis code, MOOG. Using these stellar parameters and logW, we found that ${\log}g=-5.85\;{\log}W+9.97\;{\log}T_{eff}-23.48$ for late-type stars.

In this study, the applicability of $CaCO_3$ as a seed material for crystallization reaction was tested. $CaCO_3$ was ground to lesser than 425 mesh and was made to media mixed with binder. Batch experiment was to investigate the ${PO_4}^{3-}-P$ removal efficiency of different parameters such as $CaCO_3$ dosage and binder ratio, size, type and mass of media. In addition, the effect of phosphorus removal from wastewater was tested using a lab-scaled crystallization reactor. At the results of the batch test, phosphorus removals were improved with increasing $CaCO_3$ dosage and media mass but were decreased with increasing media size. Moreover, phosphorus removals were influenced by specific surface area but media type. The average T-P and ${PO_4}^{3-}-P$ removal efficiency in a lab-scaled crystallization reactor with $CaCO_3$ media for wastewater were shown to be 60.2% and 60.3% for 18 days of operation time.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) are commonly involved in the pathogenesis of skin damage by activating the metalloproteinases (MMP) that break down type I collagen. Adenophora remotiflora (AR) is a perennial wild plant that inhabits Korea, China, and Japan. The present study investigated the protective effects of AR against UVB-induced photo-damage in keratinocytes. MATERIALS/METHODS: An in vitro cell-free system was used to examine the scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and nitric oxide (NO). The effect of AR on ROS formation, antioxidant enzymes, elastase, MMP-1 level, and mRNA expression of MMP-1 were determined in UVB-irradiated human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. RESULTS: AR demonstrated strong DPPH free radical and NO scavenging activity in a cell-free system exhibiting $IC_{50}$ values of 1.88 mg/mL and 6.77 mg/mL, respectively. AR pretreatment dose-dependently attenuated the production of UVB-induced intracellular ROS, and antioxidant enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) were enhanced in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, pretreatment of AR prevented UVB-induced elastase and collagen degradation by inhibiting the MMP-1 protein level and mRNA expression. Accordingly, AR treatment elevated collagen content in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. CONCLUSION: The present study provides the first evidence of AR inhibiting UVB-induced ROS production and induction of MMP-1 as a result of augmentation of antioxidative activity in HaCaT human keratinocytes. These results suggest that AR might act as an effective inhibitor of UVB-modulated signaling pathways and might serve as a photo-protective agent.

자외선은 외부적인 스트레스 자극인자로 작용하여 사람 각질형성세포에서 reactive oxygen species (ROS)와 비활성 코르티손을 활성 코르티솔로 전환시키는 효소인 $11{\beta}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 ($11{\beta}$-HSD1)의 발현 및 활성을 증가시킨다고 알려져 있다. 또한, ROS가 증가된 피부에서는 염증 유발 사이토카인과 염증 매개 인자의 발현이 증가되어 결과적으로 염증반응을 일으키게 되는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 각질형성세포(HaCaT)에서 $11{\beta}$-HSD1 억제제가 ROS 분해효소인 catalase의 생성을 회복시킴에 착안하여, $11{\beta}$-HSD1의 발현을 저해함과 동시에 ROS로부터 유도되는 염증 반응을 억제하는 천연물 소재를 발굴하고자 하였다. 그 중 능실 추출물과 그 분획물은 각각 $11{\beta}$-HSD1의 발현과 ROS 생성 증가를 억제하고, 염증성 사이토카인인 tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-$1{\alpha}$, $-1{\beta}$의 발현을 억제하였다. 또한, 자외선에 의해 유도되는 염증 매개인자인 cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$)의 생성을 저해하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과로부터 능실 추출물 및 그 분획물은 $11{\beta}$-HSD1의 발현을 억제함과 동시에 ROS에 의해 유발된 피부 염증 반응을 효과적으로 저해함을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of $Ca^{2+}-channel$ blockers in norepinephrine (NE) release from rat hippocampus. Slices and synaptosomes were incubated with $[^3H]-NE$ and the releases of the labelled products were evoked by 25 mM KCl stimulation. Nifedipine, diltiazem, nicardipine, flunarizine and pimozide did not affect the evoked and basal release of NE in the slice. But, diltiazem, nicardipine and flunarizine decreased the evoked NE release with a dose-related manner without any change of the basal release from synaptosomes. Also, a large dose of pimozide produced modest decrement of NE release. ${\omega}-conotoxin$ (CTx) GVIA decreased the evoked NE release in a dose-dependent manner without changing the basal release. And ${\omega}-CTxMVIIC$ decreased the evoked NE release in the synaoptosomes without any effect in the slice, but the effect of decrement was far less than that of ${\omega}-CTxGVIA.$ In interaction experiments with ${\omega}-CTxGVIA,\;{\omega}-CTxMVIIC$ slightly potentiated the effect of ${\omega}-CTxGVIA$ on NE release in the slice and synaptosomal preparations. These results suggest that the NE release in the rat hippocampus is mediated mainly by N-type $Ca^{2+}-channels,$ and that other types such as L-, T- and/or P/Q-type $Ca^{2+}-channels$ could also be participate in this process.
