Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) plays a key role in heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction under physical and moderate oxidative stress conditions. The transient and mild induction of HO-1 is beneficial for cell protection, mitochondrial function, regeneration, and intercellular communication. However, chronic HO-1 overexpression is detrimental in severely injured regions. Thus, in a chronic pathological state, diminishing HO-1-mediated ferroptosis is beneficial for a therapeutic approach. The molecular mechanisms by which KRG protects various cell types in the central nervous system have not yet been established, especially in terms of HO-1-mediated mitochondrial functions. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the multiple roles of KRG in the regulation of astrocytic HO-1 under pathophysiological conditions. More specifically, we discuss the role of the KRG-mediated astrocytic HO-1 pathway in regulating mitochondrial functions in acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases as well as physiological conditions.

본 논문은 유도전동기의 운전조작시에 발생되는 자계변화특성에 대하여 기술하였다. 본 측정시스템은 자기적분형 자계센서, 증폭기, 능동형 적분기로 이루어졌으며, 교정실험에 대한 측정계의 주파수대역과 감도는 각각 20[Hz]~0.234[mV/$\mu$T]이다. 유도전동기의 기동과 정상운전중에 발생하는 자계성분을 측정하였으며, 고조파 성분을 고속 푸리에 변환기법으로 분석하였다. 유도전동기의 직입기동시에는 단일성 펄스자계가 강하게 발생하였으며, 이의 피크치는 정상상태의 값보다 5배이상 크게 나타났다. 이러한 긴 과도시간과 강한 자계의 세기는 전동기의 큰 인덕턴스와 동특성에 기인된다. 유도전동기의 정상운전시에는 유도전동기의 극수에 의존하는 기본파에 대한 분조파의 자계성분이 관측되었다. 또한, 자계의 분조파 성분은 전동기의 토크 변동으로 불균일한 회전토크로 인해 생기는 맥동전류와 전압플리커에 의해서 발생하는 것으로 생각된다. 인버터구동형 유도전동기에서는 직입기동에 비하여 많은 고조파 성분이 발생되고 있었으며, 특히 전동기의 구동주파수가 낮을수록 맥동토크에 의한 전류변화로 고조파 성분은 더욱 증가하였다.

토마토 뿌리에 존재하는 이온채널의 특성을 조사하기 위하여, 마이크로솜을 분리하고 전기생리용 분석장치가 연결된 인공지질 이중막에 유입하였다. 그 결과 다섯 종류의 이온채널을 확인하였고, 이들 중 450 pS의 전기전도도를 갖는 비선택성 양이온채널을 가장 자주 관측하였다. 이 채널은 세 가지의 subconductance 상태를 보였으며, 이들의 전기전도도는 450, 257, 105 pS으로 측정되었다. 모든 subconductance 상태는 막전위 변화에 따른 전류변화가 직선적으로 나타났다. 채널의 활성은 양의 막전위에서 열림과 닫힘이 반복되는 전이상태를 보였지만, 음의 막전위에서는 평균 열림시간과 함께 열림확률도 증가하였다. 막전위 -40mV에서 측정한 채널의 열림확률은 0.83이었다. 이온선택성을 측정하기 위하여 지질막의 한쪽에만 50mM의 $K^+$ 또는 $Na^+$을 가하여 비대칭 이온조건을 만들었을 때, 두 경우 모두에서 전류역전전위는 동일하게 약 -l0mV 이동하였다. 이것은 450 pS채널이 $K^+$과 $Na^+$을 구별없이 통과시킴을 나타낸다. 중금속 이온들 중, $100\;{\mu}M$ 농도의 $La^{3+}$과 $Ba^{2+},\;Zn^{2+}$는 채널의 활성을 크게 저해하여 열림확률을 0.2 이하로 감소시켰다. 그러나, $Al^{3+}$과 $Cd^{2+}$은 활성을 약 20% 저해하였다. 흥미롭게도, 각각의 중금속 이온은 서로 다른 형태로 채널활성을 저해하였다. $La^{3+}$은 $500\;{\mu}M$ 농도에서 모든 subconductance 상태를 저해하였으나, $Zn^{2+}$는 1 mM의 농도에서도 105 pS의 subconductance 상태는 저해하지 않았다. 또한 $Cd^{2+}$은 음의 막전위에서도 채널의 열림을 long-opening상태에서 전이상태 열림으로 전환시켰다. 이러한 결과는 중금속 이온들이 채널단백질에 각각의 결합부위를 가질 수 있을 가능성을 의미하여, 식물 뿌리의 생리현상에서 450 pS 채널의 기능적 역할 뿐 만아니라 구조적 특징을 탐색할 수 있는 유용한 조절자나 탐색자로 이용될수 있음을 시사한다.

The present study was performed to investigate the properties of ionic currents elicited by voltage pulses in the unfertilized eggs of mouse and hamster by using the whole cell voltage clamp techniques and to find out if there are any differences in properties between eggs of the two rodents. In addition, the modulatory effect of G proteins and protein kinase C (PKC) on the ionic channels were observed. The inward current in hamster eggs was shown to be due to $Ca^{2+}\;current\;(i_{ca})$). The current voltage relations of these currents in hamster egg were analogous to those in mouse eggs. The amplitude of $i_{ca}$ in the hamster egg was larger than that in the mouse egg ($-3.12{\pm}1.07\;nA\;vs.\;-1.71{\pm}0.71\;nA,\;mean{\pm}\;SD$). These results suggest that the $Ca^{2+}$ channels in both kinds of eggs have similar channel properties but their density, and/or conduct ance per unit area is higher in hamster eggs than in mouse eggs. Outward currents in eggs of both mouse and hamster were carried by $K^+$. In hamster eggs, they appeared to comprise at least two components; a transient outward component ($i_{to}$) and a steady state component ($i_{\infty}.$ The $i_{to}$ was found to be dependent on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration; whereas on the other hand $i_{\infty}\;was\;Ca^{2+}$-independent. $Ca^{2+}$ currents were increased in eggs treated with GTP (or $GTP{\gamma}S$) or fluoroaluminate ($AIF_4^-$). In the hamster egg these increments were antagonized by GDP (or $GDP{\beta}S$) application. In contrast to the enhancement of $i_{ca},\;i_k$ was reduced following GTP (or $GTP{\gamma}S$) perfusion in mouse eggs. The transient component ($i_{to}$) in hamster eggs was increased by adding GTP but decreased by phorbol ester, TPA or dioctanoyl glycerol (DOG). Simultaneous application of $GTP{\gamma}S$ and DOG suppressed $i_{to}$ more effectively than a single application or DOG or TPA. From the above results, we have shown that ionic currents elicited by voltage pulses existed in the unfertilized eggs of mouse and hamster. There are at least two types of currents, $i_{ca}\;and\;i_k$ in mouse eggs, while three types, $i_{ca},\;Ca^{2+}$-dependent $i_k$ and $Ca^{2+}$-independent $i_k$ exist in hamster eggs. ionic channels in these eggs may be regulated either directly by GTP and PKC or indirectly by the substances linked with GTP and PKC.

We investigated oxygen plasma effect on defect states near the interface of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) structure grown on a silicon substrate. After the plasma treatment, electrical properties were evaluated using a frequency dependant Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) and a temperature dependant C-V measurements, and a deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) method to study the change of defect densities. In the depth profile resulted from the temperature dependant C-V, a sudden decrease in the carrier concentration for two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) nearby 250 K was observed. In C-V measurement, the interface states were improved in case of the oxygen-plasma treated samples, whereas the interface was degraded in case of the nitrogen-plasma treated sample. In the DLTS measurement, it was observed the two kinds of defects well known in AlGaN/GaN structure grown on sapphire substrate, which have the activation energies of 0.15 eV, 0.25 eV below the conduction band. We speculate that this defect state in AlGaN/GaN on the silicon substrate is caused from the decrease in 2DEG's carrier concentrations. We compared the various DLTS signals with filling pulse times to identify the characteristics of the newly found defect. In the filling pulse time range under the 80 us, the activation energies changed as the potential barrier model. On the other hand, in the filling pulse time range above the 80 us, the activation energies changed as the extended potential model. Therefore, we suggest that the found defect in the AlGaN/GaN/Si structure could be the extended defect related with AlGa/N/GaN interface states.

This work reports results of our study on the dynamic responses of the buried pipelines both along the axial and the transverse directions under various boundary end conditions. We have considered three cases, i.e., the free ends, the fixed ends, and the fixed-free ends for the axial direction, and three more cases including the guided ends, the simply supported ends, and the supported-guided ends for the transverse direction. In order to investigate the effect of the boundary end conditions for the dynamic responses of the buried pipeline, we have devised a computer program to find the solutions of the formulae on the dynamic responses (displacements, axial strains, and bending strains) under the various boundary end conditions considered in this study. The dynamic behavior of the buried pipelines for the forced vibration is found to exhibit two different forms, a transient response and a steady state response, depending on the time before and after the transfer of a seismic wave on the end of the buried pipeline. The former is identified by a slight change in its behavior before the sinusoidal-shaped seismic wave travels along the whole length of the pipeline whereas the latter by the complete form of a sinusoidal wave when the wave travels throughout the pipeline. The transient response becomes insignificant as the wave speed increases. We have observed a resonance when the mode wavelength matches the wavelength of the seismic wave, where the mode number(k) of resonance for the axial direction is found to be $\overline{\omega}/{\pi}V+1/2$ for the fixed-free ends, $\overline{\omega}/{\pi}V+1$ for the free ends, and $\overline{\omega}/{\pi}V$ for the fixed ends, respectively. By adding 10 more modes to the mode number(k) of resonance, we were able to study all the dynamic responses of the buried pipeline for the axial direction. On the other hand, we have not been able to observe a resonance in the analysis for the transverse direction, because the dynamic responses are found to vanish after the seventh mode. From the results of the dynamic responses at the many points of the pipeline, we have found that the responses appeared to be dependent critically on the boundary end conditions. Such effects are found to be most prominent especially for the maximum values of the displacement and the strain and its position.

The transient and rapid expression system of a foreign protein in planta is a very useful technique in biotechnology application. We have investigated optimum condition of Agrobacterium-infiltration technique in which expression level of foreign proteins were maximized without detrimental effects on plants using GFP and Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein, which is known as an enhancer of gene expression and a suppressor of post-transcriptional gene silencing(PTGS). The optimum expression level of both RNA and protein of GFP with minimum leaf impairment was obtained at $OD_{600}$=0.2 of Agrobactrium inocula. The steady-state levels of GFP RNA and protein generally peaked at 3 and 7 days post-infiltration(dpi), respectively. In the presence of 2b, both the magnitude and duration of GFP expression was highly increased and we could detect GFP level until 17 dpi. On the other hands, the 2b-mediated higher accumulation of foreign proteins resulted in the repression of normal leaf growth, possibly due to the limitation of supply of energy or materials required for growth maintenance. Using this Agrobacterium-infiltration system with 2b and GFP, we tested a hypothesis for the threshold model of PTGS initiation. Four GFP transgenic lines of N. benthamiana, which shows different expression level of GFP were tested to determine the threshold level for PTGS initiation. Agrobacterium-infiltration of GFP into those GFP-transgenic plants resulted in the co-silencing of the transgenic GFP. It was found that very low concentration of Agrobacterium with GFP and GFP+2b($OD_{600}$=0.002-0.02) which could not phenotypically induce an additive GFP expression, was enough to trigger PTGS pathway in all GFP transgenic plants. This strongly indicates that each GFP-transgenic plant should be expressing the transgenic GFP at its own pre-determined level and there was no buffer zone of additive GFP-expression to the threshold. In other words, the PTGS seems to be immediately activated as a self-defensive mechanism if an internal balance of gene expression is broken.

콘크리트는 고온에 강한재료로 인식되어 왔으나, 화재 등의 고온에 의해 내부조직의 물리 화학적 변화가 발생해 역학적 특성이 저하하게 된다. 이에, 고온시 콘크리트의 역학적 특성의 저하에 관한 연구보고 및 기준이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 고강도 콘크리트 및 하중을 재하한 상태에 관한 연구데이터는 적다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 고온 및 하중재하에 따른 고강도 콘크리트의 고온특성을 평가하였다. W/B 12.5%, 14.5%, 20%의 고강도 콘크리트를 대상으로 비재하상태 및 $0.25f_{cu}$의 하중조건을 설정하여, 고온시의 응력-변형, 최대하중에서의 변형, 압축강도, 탄성계수, 열팽창변형, 단기 고온크리프을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 압축강도가 높아질수록 가열에 의한 압축강도의 저하가 크게 나타났고, $500^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 고온에 의한 열팽창변형과 하중재하에 의한 수축변형이 상쇄되어 압축강도 및 탄성계수의 잔존율이 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
