The enthalpies of transfer, ${\Delta}H_t{\Theta}$, of NaI from water to aqueous methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, iPrOH, systems are reported. These data have been analysed in terms of the new solvation theory. These data are considered in terms of the new developed solvation theory including variable ($\alpha$n + $\beta$N), the net effect of the solute on the solvent-solvent bonding, is positive if there is a net breaking or weakening of solvent-solvent bonds. The solvation parameters recovered from the analyses indicate that the net affect of NaI on solvent structure is a breaking of solvent-solvent bonds and that NaI is preferentially solvated by water in all aqueous alcohol systems considered. ($\alpha$n + $\beta$N) values increase with increasing in the size of the alcohol alkyl residue from methanol to iPrOH.

In this paper, the fractional Hardy-type operator of variable order ${\beta}(x)$ is shown to be bounded from the Herz-Morrey spaces $M\dot{K}^{{\alpha},{\lambda}}_{p_1,q_1({\cdot})}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with variable exponent $q_1(x)$ into the weighted space $M\dot{K}^{{\alpha},{\lambda}}_{p_2,q_2({\cdot})}(\mathbb{R}^n,{\omega})$, where ${\omega}=(1+|x|)^{-{\gamma}(x)}$ with some ${\gamma}(x)$ > 0 and $1/q_1(x)-1/q_2(x)={\beta}(x)/n$ when $q_1(x)$ is not necessarily constant at infinity. It is assumed that the exponent $q_1(x)$ satisfies the logarithmic continuity condition both locally and at infinity that 1 < $q_1({\infty}){\leq}q_1(x){\leq}(q_1)+$ < ${\infty}(x{\in}\mathbb{R}^n)$.

Objective : To comparatively investigate the expression of several integrins in specimens of human bone metastases and degenerative bone tissue. Methods : Degenerative cancellous tissue was obtained from a sample of human degenerative spine. Thirteen human specimens were obtained from metastatic spine tumors, whose primary cancer was colon cancer (n=3), hepatocellular cancer (n=3), lung cancer (n=4), and breast cancer (n=3). The expression of vimentin and integrins ${\alpha}v$, ${\beta}1$, and ${\beta}3$ was assessed in metastatic and degenerative specimens by immunohistochemistry and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results : Immunohistochemical staining showed that vimentin and integrin ${\alpha}v$ was broadly expressed in all tissues examined. By contrast, integrin ${\beta}1$ was weakly expressed only in 38.4% (5/13) of tissues. Integrin ${\beta}3$ was consistently negative in all cases examined. qRT-PCR analysis showed that vimentin gene expression was higher in all metastatic specimens, as compared to degenerative bone. The gene expression of integrin ${\alpha}v$ in breast specimen was significantly higher than others (p=0.045). The gene expression of integrin ${\beta}1$ was also higher in all metastatic specimens than in degenerative bone tissue. The gene expression of integrin ${\beta}3$ was variable. Conclusion : Spinal metastatic tumors have mesenchymal characteristics such as increased expression of vimentin. The increased expression of integrin ${\alpha}v$ and ${\beta}1$ in spine metastatic tumors suggests that adhesive molecules such as integrin may have implications for the prevention of spine metastasis.

In the present paper we define the codes which assign D-alphabet one-one codeword to each outcome of a random variable and the functions which represent possible transormations from one-one codes of size D to suitable codes. By using these functions we obtain lower bounds on the exponentiated mean codeword length for one-one codes in terms of the generalized entropy of order $\alpha$ and type $\beta$ and study the particular cases also.

급성 폐 손상을 초래하는 성인호흡곤란증후군(ARDS)은 높은 치사율 때문에 많은 임상의들의 관심과 연구대상이 되어왔다. 그동안 선행 연구자들의 지속적인 노력에도 불구하고 유아 및 소아그룹의 ARDS에 관한 병태생리학적 규명은 여전히 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 어린 토끼(생후 약 8주)를 실험적 내독소성 급성폐손상 모델로 사용하여 유소아 그룹의 급성폐손상 병태생리의 시간적 진행양상을 규명하기 위해 전향적으로 계획되었다. 대상 및 방법: 연구목적에 따라 실험용 토끼를 대조군(n=8)과 실험적 급성폐손상을 위한 내독소 투여군으로 나눈 후, 검체의 채취시간에 따라 내독소 투여군을 다시 3, 6, 12 및 24시간 군으로 아그룹화하였다(시간대별 각 군의 n=8). 토끼의 귀정맥을 통해 대장균 내독소(Escherichia coli serotype O55. B5)를 0.50 mg/kg 투여한 후, 각 군별로 혈액 및 기관지폐포 세척액을 채취하여 백혈구계의 동태, 면역학적 인자들, 단백질 농도를 측정하였고, 폐의 병리조직학적 소견도 함께 관찰하였다. 결과: 내독소 투여군들에서 3시간 및 6시간대에 혈액 내 호중구, 림프구, 단 구, 그리고 호산구 수 감소에 기인한 총 백혈구 수의 유의한 감소가 있는 반면, 12시간 및 24시간 때 호중구 수 증가에 기인한 총 백혈구수의 증가가 있었다(p <0.05). Tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) 및 interleukin-1 ${\beta}$ (IL-1 ${\beta}$ )의 혈중농도는 대부분의 시간대에 내독소 투여군들이 대조군보다 유의하게 높았다(p <0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) 농도는 3시간 및 6시간 때에는 내독소 투여군들이 대조군보다 높았으나(p<0.05) 12시간 때에는 오히려 낮았다(p <0.05). 기관지폐포 세척액 내 총 백혈구 수와 단백질 농도는 내독소 투여군들이 전 시간대에 걸쳐 대조군보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 내독소 투여군들의 경우 기관지폐포 세척액의 출혈성 경향을 보였다. 내독소 투여군들은 페간질 및 실질조직 내 주로 림프구와 단구로 구성된 염증성 세포들의 심한 침윤, 폐포 내 약간의 호중구 격절, 그리고 간질의 비후와 같은 폐 손상 징후를 보였다. 이러한 현상은 내독소 투여 6시간대에 가장 심하였으나 시간경과에 따라 조금씩 호전되었다. 내독소 투여군들의 면역학적 표식자들(TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1${\beta}$, SOD)과 기괸지폐포 세척액 변수들 간에 여러 시간대에 걸쳐 유의한 양 혹은 음의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론: 내독소는 어린 토끼에 있어 급격하고 치명적인 급성염증성 폐손상을 일으키며 그 병태생리학적 진행이 6시간대까지는 시간의존성으로 격심해지고 이후부터 완화되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 내독소 기인성 급성폐손상의 발생과 진행에는 혈액학적, 면역학적, 생화학적 변수들이 복합적으로 관여하였으며, 어린 토끼는 혈액 내 투여된 내독소에 대해 매우 민감하고 신속한 반응을 보임으로써 향후 유아 및 소아그룹 연구를 위한 실험동물모델로서의 이용 가능성을 보여주었다.

Essential oil yields and chemical compositions from 5 populations of Chamaecyparis obtusa with several environmental factors were investigated through essential oil extracted distillation apparatus and metabolite profiling by GC-MS analysis. Among the populations, content of essential oil at Gokseong was significantly higher than other populations. To compare the several environmental factors affecting on chemical composition and essential oil yields from C. obtuse at Gokseong, the environmental factors (soil condition, temperature, humidity, and moisture content) were measured during 1 year. The essential oils at Goksung based on humidity on March, July, and November was significantly different from other months. The essential oils at Goksung based on temperature on July and August was significantly different from other months. The essential oils at Goksung based on the moisture content on September were significantly different from other months. The percentage of T-N, OM, and yield of oil at Gokseong were significantly different on from other populations. The main constituents of C. obtusa at all populations were ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\alpha}$-terpinene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, terpinene-4-ol, isobonyl acetate, terpinyl acetate, and cedar acetate. Specially, Essential oil compositions (%) of ${\alpha}$-terpinene and cedar acetate were higher at Gokseong than at other populations. The chemical compositions of essential oils were variable depend on populations and environmental conditions. Therefore, this study might be used as fundamental research on study for selection of high productive terpenoids and for understanding about biosynthesis of essential oils in C. obtusa.

Mucolipidoses II and III alpha/beta (ML II and ML III) are lysosomal disorders in which the essential mannose-6-phosphate recognition marker is not synthesized onto lysosomal hydrolases and other glycoproteins. The disorders are caused by mutations in GNPTAB, which encodes two of three subunits of the heterohexameric enzyme, N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase ML II, recognizable at birth, often causes intrauterine growth impairment and sometimes the prenatal "Pacman" dysplasia. The main postnatal manifestations of ML II include gradual coarsening of neonatally evident craniofacial features, early cessation of statural growth and neuromotor development, dysostosis multiplex and major morbidity by hardening of soft connective tissue about the joints and in the cardiac valves. Fatal outcome occurs often before or in early childhood. ML III with clinical onset rarely detectable before three years of age, progresses slowly with gradual coarsening of the facial features, growth deficiency, dysostosis multiplex, restriction of movement in all joints before or from adolescence, painful gait impairment by prominent hip disease. Cognitive handicap remains minor or absent even in the adult, often wheelchair-bound patient with variable though significantly reduced life expectancy. As yet, there is no cure for individuals affected by these diseases. So, clinical manifestations and conservative treatment is important. This review aimed to highlight the extra-skeletal clinical problems in ML II and III.

The p53 which is well known as tumor suppressor gene is located at 17p13. p53 is a sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor that responds to certain cytotoxic stresses, such as DNA damage, by enhancing the transcription of genes that regulate cell-cycle progression as well as programmed cell death. The p63 gene that is located at 3q27-29, is recognized members of the p53 family, and responsible for the transcription of 6 isoforms. Three isoforms ($TAp63{\alpha}$, $TAp63{\beta}$, $TAp63{\gamma}$) contain an N-terminal transactivation (TA) domain and can induce apoptosis. The other 3 isoforms (${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$, ${\Delta}Np63{\beta}$, ${\Delta}Np63{\gamma}$) lack the TA domain and may function in a dominant-negative fashion by inhibiting the transactivation functions of p53 and TAp63 proteins, and thus act as oncoproteins. A number of studies have investigated the role of p63 in human squamous cell carcinomas from different organs. Only a few studies have examined ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform in oral squamous cell carcinoma including normal epithelium. This study aimed to evaluate expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform in human oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue and normal mucosa. The 3 cases of well differenciated oral squamous cell carcinoma specimen including adjacent normal mucosa were examined, and immunohistochemical study with monoclonal antibody(4A4) and tumor cell apoptosis analysis with Transmission Electon Microscopy were studied. And, RT-PCR analysis was done for expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform. The results were as followed. 1. Normal gingiva showed the restricted p63 expression in basal cell layer. 2. Well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma showed mainly p63 expression in overall area of malignancy, especially in basal cell layer to adjacent stromal tissue. 3. Tumor cells around keratinized area with no p63 expression disclosed less micro-organelle in decreased size cytoplasm and severe chromatin margination with nuclear destruction that means apoptosis. 4. Comparison of mRNA expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform by RT-PCR showed variable expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform, but ${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$ was most highly expressed in all 3 tumor specimen. From theses results, it should be suggested that ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform expression in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was closely related to tumor oncogenesis, expecially overexpression of ${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$ is a most important factor in tumor genesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
