  • During the acceptance test of KTX, unexpectedly great lateral vibration in 14th~16th train at 150km/h~200km/h was appeared on a straight line in the winter season. Generally, stiffness of secondary suspension in KTX vehicle is one of the most sensitive components on air temperature. So, we examined that the secondary suspension to be mounted heating system was able to reduce the lateral vibration in the tail car of KTX. Also, we verified that lateral vibration from test results on KTX train with wheel conicity 1/20 disappeared. In this paper, we analysis effective reduction methods and the cause of the lateral vibration using model of KTX train and compare with the test results. The analysis results agree well with test ones. From mode analysis result, lateral vibration is occurred at natural frequency range 0.5~0.6Hz with a negative damping value and its natural frequency disappear gradually according to increasing of wheel concinicy.

  • 콩류의 방사선 조사 여부를 DNA comet assay로 확인하였다. 대두, 강남콩, 그리고 팥을 각각 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 그리고 1.0 kGy의 저선량으로 조사하고 비조사 시료와 조사시료간의 DNA 손상정도를 현미경으로 육안 검사 및 comet의 tail 길이를 측정하여 상호 비교하였다. 모든 시료에서 비조사 시료보다 조사시료의 tail 길이가 더 길었으며 조사 선량이 증가할수록 tail 길이가 길게 나타났다. 비조사 시료에서도 손상된 세포의 comet 모양의 핵이 관찰되기는 하였으나 대부분 비손상된 세포의 원형모양의 핵이 관찰되었으며 조사된 시료에서는 comet 모양의 핵이 주로 관찰되는 경향이어서 비조사 시료와 조사 시료간에 comet 양상을 비교할 수 있었다. 한편 100개의 세포를 무작위로 선택하여 comet tail 길이를 측정하고 통계분한 결과, 비조사 시료와 조사시료간의 유의적인 차이가 있었고 조사선량이 증가할수록 tail 길이가 유의적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. DNA comet assay로 간단하고 비교적 저렴한 비용을 짧은 시간 내에 콩류의 방사선 조사 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Importance: The intravenous administration of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) in veterinary medicine is an attractive treatment option. On the other hand, it can result in severe complications, including pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Objective: The present study assessed the occurrence of PTE after the intravenous infusion of canine AdMSCs (cAdMSCs) into experimental animals. Methods: Five-week-old male BALB/c hairless mice were categorized into groups labeled A to G. In the control group (A), fluorescently stained 2×106 cAdMSCs were diluted in 200 µL of suspension and injected into the tail vein as a single bolus. The remaining groups included the following: group B with 5×106 cells, group C with 3×106 cells, group D with 1×106 cells, group E with 1×106 cells injected twice with a one-day interval, group F with 2×106 cells in 100 µL of suspension, and group G with 2×106 cells in 300 µL of suspension. Results: Group D achieved a 100% survival rate, while none of the subjects in groups B and C survived (p = 0.002). Blood tests revealed a tendency for the D-dimer levels to increase as the cell dose increased (p = 0.006). The platelet count was higher in the low cell concentration groups and lower in the high cell concentration groups (p = 0.028). A histological examination revealed PTE in most deceased subjects (96.30%). Conclusions and Relevance: PTE was verified, and various variables were identified as potential contributing factors, including the cell dose, injection frequency, and suspension volume.

  • Objectives : The development of natural drugs with antidepressant effects is important and needed. This study was performed to investigate the antidepressant-like effects of the distilled water extract of Portulaca oleracea L. (POL) in a mouse model and to investigate the role of ${\alpha}$-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors in producing these antidepressant-like effects. Methods : The forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were used to investigate the behavioral anti-depressive-like effects of POL in mice. Additional behavioral experiments with 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione, an AMPA receptor antagonist, were undertaken to determine the involvement of the antidepressant-like properties of POL in AMPA receptor throughput. Results : Oral administration of the POL extract (100 mg/kg) 1 h prior to testing significantly reduced the immobility times in the FST and TST. The antidepressant-like effects of the POL extract were not increased in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with NBQX significantly attenuated the reduction in immobility time induced by the POL extract in the FST. Conclusions : The distilled water extract of POL has antidepressant-like effects, which may be related to AMPA receptor. Pre-treatment with NBQX significantly attenuates the reduction in immobility time induced by the POL extract in the FST.

  • Objectives : Taraxacum platycarpum H. Dahlstedt has been reported to have several biological properties such as skin hydration and antiinflammation. The purpose of this study was to examine the antidepressive effects of water extract of T. platycarpum (WTP) on an animal model of depression. Methods : In the present study, normal ICR mice (4 weeks) were used, and orally administered with WTP (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg). Depression-like behavior was monitored the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) in mice. The locomotor activity was evaluated to eliminate the false-positive activity in the open field test (OFT). Fluoxetine, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, as a positive control was intraperitoneally administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg at 30 min before starting the behavioral test. Moreover, we evaluated the effects of WTP on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/ cyclic AMP response-element binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway in the hippocampus using Western blot. Results : The administration of WTP (50 and 100 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.05, respectively) reduced the immobility time during FST and TST without accompanying changes in locomotor activity by OFT. Furthermore, WTP at dose of 100 mg/kg increased the BDNF expression and the phosphorylation of ERK and CREB in the hippocampus region. Conclusions : These results suggest that WTP has a useful anti-depressant effect through the regulation of BDNF/ERK/CREB signaling pathway.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of Magnolia Officinalis extracts on the animal model of depression induced by immobilization stress. Methods : The subjects were divided into 4 groups : normal, saline solution-administered during immobilization stress, 200 mg/kg of magnolia extracts-administered (magnolia extract 200), and 400 mg/kg of magnolia extracts- administered (magnolia extract 400). During 2 days of immobilization stress treatment, they underwent forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST). The number of serotonin (5-HT) immunostained nuclei in the dorsal raphe nucleus regions was measured by immunohistochemistry. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in blood were measured. Results : In FST, magnolia-administered groups showed significantly decreased immobilization. In TST, the magnolia extract 400 group showed decreased immobilization. The stress group showed significantly decreased number of 5-HT immunostained nuclei in the dorsal raphe nucleus regions, while magnolia extract 400 group showed increased number of 5-HT immunostained nuclei. Stress group showed decrease in serum level of SOD and GPX, while the magnolia extract 200 group showed increase in serum level of SOD and GPX. Conclusions : These results suggest potent effectiveness of magnolia extracts in the treatment of depression.
