Supercapacitors, which can deliver significant energy with high power density, have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential application in energy storage. Among various oxide materials, sodium vanadate has been recognized as one of the most promising electrode materials because of high electrical conductivity. In addition, larger layer spacing of ${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5 compared to V2O5 makes easier Li+ insertion. Moreover, ${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5 has a tunnel like structure along b axis with 3 kinds of V site allowing it to enhance the ion intercalation by introducing three different intercalation sites along the tunnel. The tunnel can act as a fast diffusion path for ion diffusion, which can improve the overall charge storage kinetics. In this study, high quality single crystalline sodium vanadate (${\beta}$-Na0.33V2O5) nanowires were grown directly on Pt coated $SiO_2$ substrate by a facile chemical solution deposition method without employing catalyst, surfactant or carrier gas. The results show that great enhancement in capacitance was observed compared with previous reports.

$H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 조절할 수 있는 물질을 찾기 위하여 토마토 뿌리조직으로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하고 $La^{3+}$의 효과를 조사하였다. 원형질막 및 액포막에 위치하는 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성은 각각의 선택적 저해제인 vanadate와 $NO_3-$의 처리시 감소하여, $La^{3+}$이 원형질막 및 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 모두 저해함을 확인하였다. 원형질막과 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 50% 저해하는 $La^{3+}$ 농도인 Ki 값은 각각 57, $78\;{\mu}M$이었다. $La^{3+}$에 의한 저해효과는 Triton X-100을 처리한 leaky 마이크로솜에서도 얻어져, $La^{3+}$이 이온채널의 존재와 관계없이 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성을 직접적으로 저해함을 확인하였다. 한편, Lak의 활성저해 효과는 ATP 농도 증가로 감소하였고, ATP의 효과는 농도 의존적으로 나타났으며, 7 mM ATP 의해 $La^{3+}$에 의한 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성 저해가 완전히 억제되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 $La^{3+}$은 원형질막과 액포막의 $H^+-ATPase$들에 결합하여 ATP 결합친화력을 감소시킴으로써 활성을 저해하며, 뿌리조직 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성조절제로 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Objective : Triptolide (TP) has been reported to suppress the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), of which main function is to inactivate the extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK-1/2), the p38 MAPK and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1/2 (JNK-1/2), and to exert antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities. However, the mechanisms underlying antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities of TP are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the down-regulation of MKP-1 expression by TP would account for antiproliferative activity of TP in immortalized HT22 hippocampal cells. Methods : MKP-1 expression and MAPK phosphorylation were analyzed by Western blot. Cell proliferation was assessed by $^3H$-thymidine incorporation. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against MKP-1, vanadate (a phosphatase inhibitor), U0126 (a specific inhibitor for ERK-1/2), SB203580 (a specific inhibitor for p38 MAPK), and SP600125 (a specific inhibitor for JNK-1/2) were employed to evaluate a possible mechanism of antiproliferative action of TP. Results : At its non-cytotoxic dose, TP suppressed MKP-1 expression, reduced cell growth, and induced persistent ERK-1/2 activation. Similar growth inhibition and ERK-1/2 activation were observed when MKP-1 expression was blocked by MKP-1 siRNA and its activity was inhibited by vanadate. The antiproliferative effects of TP, MKP-1 siRNA, and vanadate were significantly abolished by U0126, but not by SB203580 or SP600125. Conclusion : Our findings suggest that TP inhibits the growth of immortalized HT22 hippocampal cells via persistent ERK-1/2 activation by suppressing MKP-1 expression. Additionally, this study provides evidence supporting that MKP-1 may play an important role in regulation of neuronal cell growth.

형광체 내 모체로 사용될 때 활성 이온 주위에 분포하여 형광 특성에 많은 영향을 미치는 알칼리 토금속인 $Ba^{2+}$ 이온을 기반으로 하는 바나데이트 화합물인 $Ba_2GdV_3O_{11}$에 희토류 이온 $Eu^{3+}$를 첨가하여 형광 강도 및 형광 수명을 연구하였다. 고상법을 이용하여 $Ba_2GdV_3O_{11}:Eu^{3+}$ 형광체를 합성하였으며 X선 회절 분석을 통하여 형광체의 결정성을 확인하였다. $Ba_2GdV_3O_{11}:Eu^{3+}$ 형광체의 형광특성은 광학 및 레이저를 이용하여 측정하였다. $Ba_2GdV_3O_{11}:Eu^{3+}$ 형광체의 에너지 전이와 확산은 $Eu^{3+}$의 농도에 크게 의존한다. $Eu^{3+}$의 농도가 낮을 때 CT 밴드로의 강한 형광을 보이나 $Eu^{3+}$의 농도가 높아질수록 4f - 4f 전이에 의한 형광이 강하게 나타난다. $Eu^{3+}$ 이온의 농도 증가로 인해 이온 간의 에너지가 확산되어 형광의 수명시간은 감소하였다. 에너지 전이는 낮은 $Eu^{3+}$ 농도에서 두 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온 사이에서 발생하며 에너지 확산은 높은 $Eu^{3+}$ 농도에서 크게 발생한다.

Spectral properties of europium activated intermediate compounds in the system R2O3-P2O5(R=La, Y, and Gd) are presented, including also phosphors with bismuth and vanadate sensitization. The sensitized phosphors are less efficient than unsensitized phosphors. (The ratio of oxygen to phosphorus effects the charge transfer band) Most phosphors have low efficiencies, but La3PO7 and Gd3PO7 hosts are possible for commercial luminescent materials.

Activation parameters of the exchange between two types of glycinate groups in (nitrilotriacetato)dioxovanadate(V) ion, $[VO_2(NTA)]^{2-}$, have been determined as the results of $^{13}C$ NMR measurements over a range of temperatures between 277 and 306$^{\circ}K$. The exchange mechanism is proposed on the basis of the chelate ring opening-closing process, assuming rupture of the metal-oxygen (glycinate) bond trans to V = O bond to give a five-coordinated intermediate.

Endosomes lower their internal pH by an ATP-driven proton pump, which is critical to dissociation of many receptor-ligand complexes, the first step in the intracellular sorting of internalized receptors and ligands. Endosomes are known to exhibit n great range of pH values that can vary between 5.0 and 7.0 within a single cell although the factors that regulate endosomal pH remain uncertain. To evaluate the morphological and topological differences of endosomes in the different stages, confocal microscopy was used. The early endosomes labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran for 10 min at $37^{\circ}C$ were identifiable at the peripheral and tubule-vesicular endosome compartment. In contrast, the late endosomes formed by 10 min pulse and 20 min trace were located deeper in the cytoplasm and showed more vesicular features than early endosomes. For the purpose of determining whether ATP-dependent acidification was heterogeneous and whether the differences in acidification were attributed to differences in the activity of $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase and/or $Cl^{-}$ channel, endocytic compartments were fractionated into subpopulation using percoll gradient and measured ATP-dependent acidification. While all fractions exhibited ATP-dependent acidification activity, both the initial rate of acidification and extent of proton translocation were lower in early endosomes and gradually increased in late endosomes. Phosphorylation by PKA and ATP enhanced ATP-dependent acidification in both early and late endosomes, hut there was no difference in the degree of enhancement by phosphorylation between two subpopulations. When ATP-dependent acidification was determined in the presence or absence of vanadate ($Na_{3}VO_{4}$) or ouabain, only early endosomes exhibited the vanadate or ouabain dependent stimulation of acidification activity, suggesting the inhibition of $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase. Therefore, it seems probable that the inhibition of early endosome acidification by $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase observed in vitro at least in part plays a physiological role in controlling the acidification of early endosomes in vivo.

A putative multidrug efflux gene, yddA, was cloned from the Escherichia coli K-12 strain. A drug-sensitive strain of E. coli missing the main multidrug efflux pump AcrB was constructed as a host and the yddA gene was knocked out in wild-type (WT) and drug-sensitive E. coliΔacrB to study the yddA function. Sensitivity to different substrates of WT E.coli, E. coliΔyddA, E. coliΔacrB and E. coliΔacrBΔyddA strains was compared with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays and fluorescence tests. MIC assay and fluorescence test results showed that YddA protein was a multidrug efflux pump that exported multiple substrates. Three inhibitors, ortho-vanadate, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), and reserpine, were used in fluorescence tests. Ortho-vanadate and reserpine significantly inhibited the efflux and increased accumulation of ethidium bromide and norfloxacin, while CCCP had no significant effect on YddA-regulated efflux. The results indicated that YddA relies on energy released from ATP hydrolysis to transfer the substrates and YddA is an ABC-type multidrug exporter. Functional study of unknown ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily transporters in the model organism E. coli is conducive to discovering new multidrug resistance-reversal targets and providing references for studying other ABC proteins of unknown function.
