This paper is to investigate collapse mechanisms of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)composite tubes and to evaluate collapse characteristics on the change of interlaiminar number and ply orientation angle of outer under static and impact axial compression loads. When a CFRP composite tube is crushed, static/impact energy is consumed by friction between the loading plate and the splayed fronds of the tube, by fracture of the fibers, matrix and their interface. These are associated with the energy absorption capability. In general, CFRP tube with 6 interlaminar number(C-type), absorbed more energy than other tubes(A, B, D-types). The maximum collapse load seemed to increase as the interlaminar number of such tubes increases. The collapse mode depended upon orientation angle of outer of CFRP tubes and loading status(static/impact). Typical collapse modes of CFRP tubes are wedge collapse mode, splaying collapse mode and fragmentation collapse mode. The wedge collapse mode was shown in case of CFRP tubes with 0° orientation angle of outer under static and impact loadings. The splaying collapse mode was shown in only case of CFRP tubes with 90°orientation angle of outer under static loadings, however in Impact tests those were collapsed in fragmentation mode .

We studied the effects of bile acids on the induction ofapoptosis in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Treatment with either ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or lithocholic acid (LCA) resulted in a dose- and time-dependent decrease in cell viability assessed by MTT assay. Both UDCA and LCA also induced genomic DNA fragmentation, a hallmark of apoptosis, indicating that the mechanism by which these bile acids induce cell death was through apoptosis. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, blocked the apoptosis induced by these bile acids, implying that new protein synthesis may be required for the apoptosis. Intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release blockers (dantrolene and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid-8-(diethylamino)octyl ester) inhibited decreased cell viability and DNA fragmentation induced by these bile acids. Treatment of HepG2 cells with calcium ionophore A23l87 induced DNA fragmentation. These results suggest that UDCA and LCA induce apoptosis in the HepG2 cells and that the activation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ signals may play an important role in the apoptosis induced by these bile acids.

Induction of apoptosis allows the organism to get rid of abnormal cells and also of tumor cells. Understanding the mechanism involved in Ultraviolet radiation (UV) induced apoptosis may improve its therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we present expression of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) during apoptosis induced by UV in HeLa $S_3$ cells. Four different assays were performed in this study: morphological assessment of apoptotic cells and cell viability, DNA fragmentation analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis, quantitative assay of fragmented DNA, and expression of PARP by the western blot analysis. The percentages of apoptotic HeLa $S_3$ cells irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV was increased continuously from 3 hrs incubation. DNA ladder pattern was appeared at 6 hrs. The amount of nucleosomal DNA fragments in cells treated UV increased from 3 to 12 hrs incubation and gradually decreased. The cleavage of PARP in HeLa $S_3$ cells irradiated with UV was induced, and the cleavage of PARP was more delayed in the cells pretreated with $5J/m^2$ UV and subsequently irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV. than that in the cells only irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV. Thus these data suggest that the cleavage of PARP relates with DNA fragmentation associated with apoptosis.

Objectives : Coptidis rhizoma (CR) is an oriental medicine that has been used in many traditional prescriptions against diabetes mellitus in Korea for centuries. Our purpose was to determine the protective effect and its action mechanism of CR on the cytotoxicity of pancreatic -cell line (RINm5F cell). Methods : In this experiment, we used methods such as MTT assay for detection of cytotoxicity, DNA fragmentation assay for detection of apoptotic cell death, LDH activity assay for detection of necrotic cell death, and measurement of $DiOC_{6}$ (3) retention for detection of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Background : Nitric oxide (NO) is believed to playa key role in the process of pancreatic -cell destruction leading to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Results : Exposure of RINm5F cells to chemical NO donor such as S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) induced cytotoxic events such as DNA fragmentation and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release into medium. However, pretreatment of RINm5F cells with CR extract ($10~50{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$) for 3 hours prevented SNAP-induced DNA fragmentation and LDH release into medium through the inhibition of MMP disruption. Conclusions : These results suggest that CR may be a candidate for a therapeutic or preventing agent against IDDM.

8종의 염소화유기인제 농약에 대한 전자충돌식으로 이온화시킨 질량분석법에 대하여 연구하였다. 대부분의 경우, 염소 원소를 포함하는 특성이온들은 그들의 동위원소에 기인하는 $^{37}Cl$ 피크에 의해 쉽게 확인되어진다. 즉 깨어진 이온의 염소 동위원소($^{37}Cl$)에 기인하는 피크량의 비를 측정함으로써 염소 원자수를 알 수 있다. 또한, 유기인제 부분은 과거에 보고되었던 질량분석 메카니즘과 비교하였을 때, 대체로 잘 일치함이 관측되었다.

Apoptotic DNA fragmentation, the hallmark of apoptosis, is mediated primarily by caspase-activated DFF40 (CAD) nuclease. DFF40 exists as a heterodimer with DFF45 (ICAD), which is a specific chaperone and inhibitor of DFF40 under normal conditions. To understand the mechanism through which the DFF40/DFF45 system is regulated, we analyzed the structural and biochemical properties of apoptotic DNA fragmentation mediated by DFF40/DFF45. Using limited proteolysis, we show that residues 1-281 of DFF45 form a rigid, crystallized domain, whereas the loop formed by residues 277-281 is accessible by trypsin. These results show that the C-terminal helix formed by residues 281-300 is dynamic and necessary for the chaperone activity of DFF45, but not for inhibition of DFF40.

Apoptosis is now widely recognized as a common form of cell death and represents mechanism of cell clearance in many physiological situations where deletion of cells is required. In vivo administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to Balb/c mice induced DNA fragmentation in the thymus. DNA fragmentation in the thymus was roughly dependent on the dose of LPS injected and reached the peak 18 hours after injection. This apoptosis in the thymus might be mediated due to LPS stimulant. DEN (diethylnitrosamine) has been shown to cause liver cancer in experimental animals and humans. The hepatic tumorigenesis was induced by ad libitum feeding of DEN only. It was suggested that DEN induced hepatic tumorgenesis in rat is a good reproducible model for studying biochemical and pathophysiological changes associated with the development of hepatic tumorigenesis and apoptosis.

탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 계면 및 미세파괴 물성을 인장 fragmentation과 압축 Broutman 두 시험법과 음향방출 시험을 이용하여 평가하였다. Maleic anhydride polymeric coupling agent와 amino-silane를 각각 전기증착법 및 dipping을 통하여 섬유표면에 적용하였다. 두 coupling agents를 사용한 섬유와 기지간의 계면전단강도는 인장 및 압축 두 시험에서 모두 미처리와 비교하여 큰 증가를 나타내었다. 인장시험 동안에, 원추모양의 섬유파단과 기지의 cracking 그리고 부분적인 interlayer failure로 이루어진 전형적인 미세파괴 형태가 발생하였다. 이에 비하여, 압축시험에서는 부러진 섬유의 끝에서 대각선 방향이 슬립거동이 관찰되었다. 주어진 두 힘의 하중상태에서 섬유의 파단은 항복점 전후 부근에서 일어났다. 음향방출분포는 인장에서 섬유표면 처리와 미처리의 두 조건에서 미세파괴 신호가 잘 분리되었으며, 한편, 압축에서는 signal이 다소 중복되어 나타났다. 이는 탄소섬유의 인장력/압축력 간의 파괴에너지 차이에 기인한다고 고려된다. 탄소와 basalt 섬유복합재료의 섬유파단 waveform의 최대 voltage는 압축보다 인장시험에서 상당히 크게 나타났으며, 이들은 음향방출시험으로 파괴에너지 차이를 명확히 비교 및 확인할 수 있었다.

It is knwon that in the reaction of .alpha.-diethylaminoacetophenone with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in dilute alcohol solution, 5-phenylhydantoin is formed. In this study the mechanism of the reaction by which diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated, was investigated with applying GC/MS-system. From the fragmentation pattern of mass spectrum of the unknwon compound, which has mol peak 112, it was identified as diethylaminoacetonitrile. According to our GC/MS study of the reaction mixture, it seems likely that diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated neither through the alkali degradation of .alpha.-diethylaminoacetophenone to aldehyde nor after the anticipated hydantoin formation. But it is believed that in the course of ring formation through an unidentified mechanism diethylaminomethyl group is eliminated.

It is well accepted that rock failure mechanism influence the cutting efficiency and determination of optimum cutting parameters. In this paper, an attempt was made to research the factors that affect the failure mechanism based on discrete element method (DEM). The influences of cutting depth, hydrostatic pressure, cutting velocity, back rake angle and joint set on failure mechanism in rock-cutting are researched by PFC2D. The results show that: the ductile failure occurs at shallow cutting depths, the brittle failure occurs as the depth of cut increases beyond a threshold value. The mean cutting forces have a linear related to the cutting depth if the cutting action is dominated by the ductile mode, however, the mean cutting forces are deviate from the linear relationship while the cutting action is dominated by the brittle mode. The failure mechanism changes from brittle mode with larger chips under atmospheric conditions, to ductile mode with crushed chips under hydrostatic conditions. As the cutting velocity increases, a grow number of micro-cracks are initiated around the cutter and the volume of the chipped fragmentation is decreasing correspondingly. The crack initiates and propagates parallel to the free surface with a smaller rake angle, but with the rake angle increases, the direction of crack initiation and propagation is changed to towards the intact rock. The existence of joint set have significant influence on crack initiation and propagation, it makes the crack prone to propagate along the joint.
