In 'Nature', Dixon et al. reported the first cloned mammalian G-protein coupled receptor sequence (1). The DNA sequence from a hamster encodes the $\beta$$_2$-aderenergic receptor. In the same year, 1986, Kubo et al. published the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor sequence (M$_1$) from a rat in the same journal (2). Both groups purified the receptor proteins and identified the DNA sequences (1, 2). (omitted)

A 7-month-old, female miniature pig was presented with excessive cerumen and pruritus. Greasy brown cerumen in both exteranal ear canal and sporadic head shaking were observed in the physical examination. Numerous budding yeasts in the cerumen were examined on microscopic examination. For species identification, PCR-RFLP using incubated colony on modified Dixon's medium was performed and finally, causative yeast was identified as M. furfur.

Three prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) inhibitors were isolated from the methanolic extract of green tea leaves. They were identified as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epicatechin gallate, and (+)-gallucatechin gallate with the $IC_{50}$ values of 1.42${\times}$$10^{-4}$mM, $1.02{\times}10^{-2}$mM, and $1.09{\times}10^{-4}$mM, respectively. They were non-competitive with a substrate in Dixon plots and did not show any significant effects against other serine proteases such as elastase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, suggesting that they were relatively specific inhibitors against PER The isolated compounds are expected to be useful for preventing and curing of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Endotracheal intubation induces clinically adverse cardiovascular changes. Various pharmacological strategies for controlling these responses have been suggested with opioids being widely administered. In this study, the optimal effect-site concentration (Ce) of remifentanil for minimizing hemodynamic responses to fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was evaluated. Methods: Thirty patients, aged 18-63 years, scheduled for elective surgery were included. Anesthesia was induced with a propofol and remifentanil infusion via target-controlled infusion (TCI). Remifentanil infusion was initiated at 3.0 ng/mL, and the response of each patient determined the Ce of remifentanil for the next patient by the Dixon up-and-down method at an interval of 0.5 ng/mL. Rocuronium was administered after propofol and remifentanil reached their preset Ce; 90 seconds later fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was initiated. Non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were measured at pre-induction, the time Ce was reached, immediately before and after intubation, and at 1 and 3 minutes after intubation. The up-and-down criteria comprised a 20% change in mean blood pressure and HR between just prior to intubation and 1 minute after intubation. Results: The median effective effect-site concentration ($EC_{50}$) of remifentanil was $3.11{\pm}0.38ng/mL$ by the Dixon's up-and-down method. From the probit analysis, the $EC_{50}$ of remifentanil was 3.43 ng/mL (95% confidence interval, 2.90-4.06 ng/mL). In PAVA, the EC50 and EC95 of remifentanil were 3.57 ng/mL (95% CI, 2.95-3.89) and 4.35 ng/mL (95% CI, 3.93-4.45). No remifentanil-related complications were observed. Conclusions: The $EC_{50}$ of remifentanil for minimizing the cardiovascular changes and side effects associated with fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was 3.11-3.43 ng/mL during propofol TCI anesthesia with a Ce of 4 ug/mL.

The NCS inhibited the activity of glucosyltransferase which was produced by Streptococcus mutans JC-2, and the rate of inhibition at $100\muM<$ and $200\muM$ were 74.0% and 99.8%, respectively. It was stable in alkali condition, but unstable in acid condition. It was also stable up to $80^{\circ}C$. The kinetic study of the inhibition by NCS was carried out by Lineweaver-Burk plot and Dixon plot. It was non-competitive inhibition, determined by the two plots and $K_i$ and $K_i$ values were $15\muM$ and $19.3\muM$ respectively. The NCS did not show cytotoxicity against human gingival cells at $K_i$ ($15\muM$, $150\muM$, $1,500\mu$ M) concentrations. It had less cytotoxicity than chlohexidin, which has usually been used as the agent of anticaries. To evaluate the industrial applicability of the NCS, human pluck tooth was used. The inhibitory rates of tooth calcification and calcium ion elution by the NCS were 41 % and 2.5 times, respectively. These results suggested that NCS from Bacillus sp. S-1013 is an efficient anticaries agent.

PET/MRI에서는 MRI의 진단적 가치를 높이기 위해 T1 조영제를 사용하고 있다. PET의 감쇠 보정을 위해 T1 시컨스 계열인 VIBE DIXON은 조영제에 직접적으로 영향을 미치지만, 실제 ${\mu}-map$과 감쇠 보정된 PET 영상에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 그러므로 PET/MRI 검사시 조영제 사용은 PET 데이터 얻기 전 후 언제든 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

As an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), D609 has been widely used to explain the role of PC-PLC in various signal transduction pathways. This study shows that D609 inhibits group IV cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ ($cPLA_2$), but neither secretory $PLA_2$ nor a $Ca^{2+}$-dependent $PLA_2$. Dixon plot analysis shows a mixed pattern of noncompetitive and uncompetitive inhibition with $K_i=86.25{\mu}M$ for the $cPLA_2$ purified from bovine spleen. D609 also time- and dose-dependently reduces the release of arachidonic acid from a $Ca^{2+}$- ionophore A23187-stimulated MDCK cells. In the AA release experiment, $IC_{50}$ of D609 was ${\sim375}{\mu}M$, suggesting that this reagent may not enter the cells easily. The present study indicates that the inhibitory effects of D609 on various cellular responses may be partially attributable to the inhibition of $cPLA_2$.

Crossbred dairy does were fed a roughage diet (IVOMD 56%, N 2.27%) ad libitum, and supplemented with urea-molasses (3% W : W) (UM) at levels on an air dry basis of 1.5% or 3% of liveweight or an iso-energetic, iso-nitrogenous mixture of cottonseed meal and molasses (25 : 75 w : w) (CM). Eight does, four lower-producers and four higher-producers (1.9 and 2.5 kg/day respectively in week 7 of lactation) arranged in two Latin Squares, received each of the four diets for three weeks. Dry matter, digestible organic matter and N intakes were higher for high-producers and high levels of supplement but did not differ between nitrogen sources. Milk production was higher by high-producers; interactions were significant between level of supplement and production group and between level of supplement and N-source, with maximum production by high producers on high levels of CM. The main effects of level of supplement were only significant for production or composition. and total solids; N-source did not have significant effects on liveweight, milk production or composition. We conclude that does of moderate capacity for milk production, receiving a diet of two-thirds moderate quality roughage, one third urea-molasses, will not respond to increased level of supplementation or to replacement of urea with cottonseed meal.

TerraSAR-X is new radar satellite operated at X-band, multi polarization, and multi beam mode. Compared with C-band or L-band SAR, the X-band system inherently suffers from more temporal decorrelation, but is more sensitive to surface deformation monitoring due to short wavelength (3.1 cm) and high spatial resolution (1m-3m). It is generally expected that sensitivity to estimate surface movement using TerraSAR-X will be increased by the factor of 10, compared to current C-band system with low spatial resolution such as ERS-2, Envisat. Many urban areas are experiencing land subsidence due to water, oil and natural gas withdrawal, underground excavation, sediment compaction, and so on. Monitoring of surface deformation is valuable for effectively limiting damage areas. In addition high accuracy and spatially dense subsidence map can be achieved by X-band InSAR observation, promoting identification and separation of various subsidence processes and leading to enhanced understanding via mechanical modeling. In this study we will introduce some initial InSAR results using new TerraSAR-X SAR data for surface deformation monitoring.
