짧은 기간의 허혈은 뒤에 오는 장시간의 허혈 및 재관류시에 심근의 손상방지에 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있으나 그 기전에 대해서는 논란이 많다. 본 연구에서는 심근에 단기간의 허혈조건을 부여한 후 심근보호액을 이용하여 심정지를 유도하였고 다시 재관류하였을 때 심근 기능의 회복에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 적출 쥐 심장모델을 이용하여 2 시간의 저장기를 이용하여 재관류시의 기능을 비교하였다. 10 마리의 실험군에서는 심근보호액을 이용한 심정지전에 1 분간의 전체 허혈기를 가지고 5 분간의 재관류를 3 번 반복하는 방법으로 허혈조건부여를 하였으며 대조군에서는 위와 같은 조건부여 없이 2 시간의 심근보호액을 이용한 심정지 및 저장기를 가졌다. 2 시간의 저장기를 $0^{\circ}C$의 심근보호액에서 가진 후 재관류를 하여 두 군간의 회복시의 기능을 비교하였다. 재관류 20 분후의 회복기 기능의 비교에서 허혈 조건부여를 한 실험군에서 대조군에 비하여 좌심실 발생압 및 좌 심실압 순간 변화율에서 우수한 회복율을 보였다. 심정지전의 수치를 100으로 본 경우의 재관류시의 좌심실 발생압의 회복율에서 허혈 조건부여를 준 실험군에서는 93.20$\pm$15.7%의 회복율을 보인 반면 대조군에서는 67.3$\pm$15.6%의 회복율을 보여 차이가 있었다. 좌심실압 순간 변화율의 회복율에서 대조군은 54.7$\pm$18.2%의 회복율을 보인 반면 실험군에서는 78.1$\pm$15.1% 의 회복율을 보였다. 심박동수 및 관동맥 관류량에서는 양 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 발견하지 못하였으며 같은 압력으로 관류한 심근보호액의 관류량에서도 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과 허혈 조건부여는 적출 쥐 심장에서 심근보호액을 이용한 심정지 및 2 시간의 저장 후 재관류시의 심근 기능 회복에 재관류시 심근기능 회복에 도움이 된다고 생각되며 이는 심근보호액의 관류량 및 관류저항과는 다른 기전에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different extrusion conditions of corn and soybean meal on physico-chemical properties, ileal digestibility of amino acid and growth performance in weaned pigs. In Expt. 1, to compare physico-chemical properties and ileal digestibility of extruded corn and soybean meal, ground corn (2 mm screen) and soybean meal were separately extruded in four different conditions: (1) no preconditioning, low water supply (3.0 l/min) (NCLW), (2) no preconditioning, high water supply (7.0 l/min) (NCHW). (3) preconditioning (steam 3.0 l/min) with low water supply (3.0 l/min) (CLW), and (4) preconditioning (steam 3.0 l/min) plus high water supply (7.0 l/min) (CHW). Twenty-five cannulated pigs ($L{\times}Y{\times}D$, 7.62 kg BW for soybean meal, 8.80 kg BW for corn) were employed to determine nutrients digestibility of the extruded feedstuffs. In Expt. 2, a total of 90 pogs ($L{\times}Y{\times}D$, 9.18 kg BW) were used for a 28 d feeding trial to compare growth performance of pigs as affected by different extrusion conditions. Before mixing, corn and soybean meal were blended and extruded by the same conditions as described in Expt. 1. corn extruded with NCLW showed the highest (p < 0.05) degree of gelatinization (DG), compared to the lowest values observed for NCHW. Extrusion of corn with preconditioning (CLW and CHW) increased (p < 0.05) the DG as compared to the extrusion condition of NCHW. Extruded SBM with NCLW showed the lowest (p < 0.05) degree of texturization among treatments. The ileal digestibility of GE in SBM was higher with NCHW and CHW as compared to NCLW. The ileal digestibility of CP was lower in extruded corn, but was higher in extruded SBM, compared to untreated sample. Lysine digestibility of extruded corn (except corn with NCHW) was in general significantly improved. Extrusion of SBM resulted in no improvements in ileal digestibility of amino acids, but extruded SBM with NCLW had lower lysine digestibility compared to other treatments. In growth responses, pigs fed a diet with CLW had higher, but not significant, average daily gain (ADG) than other treatments during first 2 weeks. From d 15 to 28, pigs fed a diet with CHW had significantly less (p < 0.05) average daily feed intake (ADFI) than others except NCHW. In conclusion, the proper extrusion condition for corn and SBM in terms of ileal digestibility of amino acids and growth performance of weaning pigs seems to be the combination of preconditioning and a low water supply (3.0 l/min).

Background: Oxidative stress occurs during the aging process and other conditions such as bone fracture, bone diseases, and osteoporosis, but the role of oxidative stress in bone remodeling is unknown. Propofol exerts antioxidant effects, but the mechanisms of propofol preconditioning on oxidative stress have not been fully explained. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of propofol against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress on a human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) cell line via activation of autophagy. Methods: Cells were randomly divided into the following groups: control cells were incubated in normoxia (5% $CO_2$, 21% $O_2$, and 74% $N_2$) without propofol. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) group cells were exposed to $H_2O_2\;(200{\mu}M)$ for 2 h, propofol preconditioning (PPC)/$H_2O_2$ group cells were pretreated with propofol then exposed to $H_2O_2$, 3-methyladenine (3-MA)/PPC/$H_2O_2$ cells were pretreated with 3-MA (1 mM) and propofol, then were exposed to $H_2O_2$. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated. Osteoblast maturation was determined by assaying bone nodular mineralization. Expression levels of bone related proteins were determined by western blot. Results: Cell viability and bone nodular mineralization were decreased significantly by $H_2O_2$, and this effect was rescued by propofol preconditioning. Propofol preconditioning effectively decreased $H_2O_2$-induced hFOB cell apoptosis. However, pretreatment with 3-MA inhibited the protective effect of propofol. In western blot analysis, propofol preconditioning increased protein levels of collagen type I, BMP-2, osterix, and TGF-${\beta}1$. Conclusions: This study suggests that propofol preconditioning has a protective effect on $H_2O_2$-induced hFOB cell death, which is mediated by autophagy activation.

We introduce a class of multilevel recursive incomplete LU preconditioning techniques (RILUM) for solving general sparse matrices. This techniques is based on a recursive two by two block incomplete LU factorization on the coefficient martix. The coarse level system is constructed as an (approximate) Schur complement. A dynamic preconditioner is obtained by solving the Schur complement matrix approximately. The novelty of the proposed techniques is to solve the Schur complement matrix by a preconditioned Krylov subspace method. Such a reduction process is repeated to yield a multilevel recursive preconditioner.

In this paper, the convergence characteristics of preconditioned multigrid methods are investigated. The preconditioning method is introduced to reduce the condition number of discrete governing equations. 6 preconditioners including a point, line and diagonalized line solvers are implemented and applied to 2-dimensional inviscid flow problems. Theoretical fourier analyses and numerical results are presented for the preconditioners.

A multigrid DADI method for low Mach number preconditioning method is presented. The eigenvalues of governing equations are modified by A low Mach number preconditioner developed by Choi & Merkle, and it results in an accurate solution and fast convergence In the low Mach number region. The convergence of numerical method is further accelerated by multigrid method. The efficient and accuracy of present method is shown by comparison with conventional solution method for the compressible flows.

Numerical approximations to the linear elasticity are traditionally based on the finite element method. In this paper we propose a new formulation based on the cubic spline collocation method for linear elastic problem on the unit square. We present several numerical results for the eigenvalues of the matrix represented by cubic collocation method and preconditioner matrix which is preconditioned by FEM and FDM. Finally we present the numerical solution for some example equation.

A preconditioned numerical method for gas-liquid to-phase flow is applied to solve cavitating flow. The present method employs a density based finite-difference method of dual time-stepping integration procedure and Roe's flux difference splitting approximation with MUSCL-TVD scheme. A homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model is used. The method permits simple treatment of the whole gas-liquid two-phase flow field including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristics at low Mach number. By this method, two-dimensional internal flows through a venturi tuve and decelerating cascades are computed and discussed.

We discuss a finite difference preconditioner for the$C^1$ Lagrance quadratic spline collocation method for a uniformly elliptic operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using the generalized field of values argument, we analyzed eigenvalues of the matrix preconditioned by the matrix corresponding to a finite difference operator with zero boundary condition.

For the Purpose of this study, were researched the optimum condition preconditioning condition of orient tobacco leaves . The loss of 3-methyl pentanoic acid (3-MP) component of BASMA leaves in the treatment process amount to about 60% , but the loss of 3-MP At the optimum conditions of BASMA CTC treatment, the temperature was 45-$65^{\circ}C$ and the treatment time 25-35 minutes. And further, the physical properties of BASMA after CTC treatment was remarkably similar to the control's. Since VTC minimized the loss, it is suggested that CTC method should be changed by VTC method.
