The Characteristics of the flowfield around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement was investigated by PIV. Strouhal numbers. velocity vectors and velocity profiles were observed at centre-to-centre space ratios of P/D= 1.5. 2.0 and 2.5, and Reynolds number of $Re=3.0{\times}10^3{\sim}5.0{\times}10^3$. As the results the Strouhal numbers measured in the rear region of the cylinder of wake side were decreased with the space ratios. The flow between two cylinders was almost stagnated and the size of the stagnated region was larger in the close side than in the far side of the front cylinder. The direction of vortex between two cylinders was opposed each other with the small difference(${\alpha}\;{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$) of the attack angle ${\alpha}$.

목적 : 방사선조사가 세포내재성 병원균인 Listeria monocytogenes (LM)의 감염에 미치는 영향과 함께 감염면역과 밀접한 관계가 있는 대식세포에서의 $TNF-\alpha$ 및 Nitric oxide (NO) 생산능의 변화와 비장세포에서의 $IFN-\gamma$ 및 IL-2생산능에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 실험을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 실험동물로는 BALB/c 마우스를 사용하였으며 Co-60 원격치료기를 이용하여 방사선을 조사하였다. LM감염에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해서 방사선조사 1일후 $10^5$의 LM균을 복강내에 주사하고 1일, 3일, 5일후에 비장조직에서 LM생균수를 측정하였다. 방사선조사가 마우스의 생체내에서와 시험관내에서의 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산능에 미치는 효과를 관찰하기 위해서 각각 LPS로 유도하여 L929/Actinomycin D assay에 의해 $TNF-\alpha$량을 측정하였다. $IFN-\gamma$의 생성능은 방사선조사후 비장을 적출하여 비장세포액을 제조하여 Concavalin A (Con-A)로 자극한 후 정량검사를 하였다. IL-2의 생성능은 $IFN-\gamma$실험에서와 같이 비장세포를 얻어서 Con-A로 자극하여 CTLL-2세포의 성장촉진능력을 관찰함으로써 판정하였다. 방사선조사가 복강내 대식세포에서 생산되는 NO에 미치는 영향도 관찰하였다. 결과 : 방사선 (300cGy)을 조사한 군에 LM을 감염시킨 1일후 비장으로부터 검출되는 생균수는 대조군에 비해 감소하였으나 감염 3일 5일후의 생균수는 대조군에 비하여 오히려 증가하였다. 시험관내 복강대식세포에 방사선 (100-850cGy)을 조사하면 1일후 생산되는 $TNF-\alpha$의 양은 대조군에 비하여 증가하였으나, 방사선조사 (100-600cGy) 5일후 수집된 복강대식세포에 의한 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산은 오히려 감소하였고. 방사선조사 (300cGy)후 LM감염시 5일후 유도된 생체내 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산도 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 방사선 (300cGy)을 조사한 마우스로부터 적출한 비장세포로부터 생산되는 $IFN-\gamma$와 IL-2의 양은 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. NO의 양은 100cGy 및 300cGy조사시 대조군에 비해 증가하였으며 그 이상 조사량을 증가하면 점차 감소하였다. 결론 : 방사선조사후 세포내재성 병원균인 LM감염에 대한 초기 저항성의 증가와 감염중반이후의 저항성 감소는 대식세포에서의 초기 $TNF-\alpha$ 생산능 증가후 감소, 그리고 T림프구에서의 $IFN-\gamma$및 IL-2 생산능 감소와 관련이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The mucilage production and tyrosine content in soy milk cake (SMC) fermented by Bacillus firmus NA-1, Bacillus subtilis GT-D, and B. subtilis KU-A was improved by fortification with 10% defatted soybean flour. The fibrinolytic activity and consistency of the SMC were drastically increased by solid-state fermentation for 1 day. However, the consistency of the fermented SMC gradually decreased during fermentation for 3 days. Furthermore, the tyrosine content of the freeze-dried powder of SMC fermented by three Bacillus sp. was 9 times higher than that of unfermented SMC. The soybean proteins, including the 7S and 11S subunits, were partially digested during alkaline fermentation, producing lower molecular-weight peptides. The fibrinolytic enzyme produced in SMC fermented by B. firmus NA-l and B. subtilis KU-A exhibited higher thermal stability than that of B. subtilis GT-D fermentation. The powder obtained from B. subtilis GT-D fermentation had an ${\alpha}$-amylase activity and lower consistency compared to those of B. firmus NA-1 and B. subtilis KU-A. In addition, this powder contained 6.3% moisture content, 27% crude protein content and 9 units of fibrinolytic activity and proteolytic activity.

Opuntia humifusa, also called as Cheonnyuncho, is a cactus widely cultivated in southern regions of Korea. It has been known to have diverse biological activities, but most of the studies were performed with the MeOH extracts or solvent-partitioned fractions. Furthermore, the efforts to identify the responsible compounds for the biological activities are very limited. In this study, we tested the inhibitory effect of extracts and solvent-partitioned fractions of O. humifusa against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in Raw264.7 cells. The butanol fractions of O. humifusa efficiently inhibited the production of NO in Raw264.7 cells, but it was not due to the reduction of cell viability. Bioassay-guided isolation of butanol fractions of O. humifusa allowed the isolation of three flavonoids isorhamnetin 3-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-galactosyl-4'-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucoside (1), isorhamnetin 3,4'-di-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucoside (2) and isorhamnetin 3-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-(6-O-${\alpha}$-$\small{L}$-rhamnosyl)glucoside (3), and one lignan syringaresinol O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (4). Among them, isorhamnetin 3-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-galactosyl-4'-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucoside (1) and isorhamnetin 3,4'-di-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucoside (2) exhibited the moderate inhibitory effects against LPS-induced NO production. This is the first time to report anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds.

Dengropanax morfiferus (D), Broussonitia kazinoki (B), and Cudriania tricuspidata (E), a widely cultivated species in South Korea, has been used as traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic effects in a various signaling mechanisms using mixed extract and major component contents were analyzed by HPLC in the combined extracts from Dengropanax morfiferus, Broussonitia kazinoki, and Cudriania tricuspidata (DBCE). DBCE inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activation and showed potent antioxidant effects, which are evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and SOD assay. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells in pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. DBCE showed the protective effects in RINm5F cells against cytokines-induced damage by suppressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and COX-2 expression and NO production. Insulin resistance is the primary characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the regulatory effect of DBCE on glucose uptake and production are investigated in insulin-responsive human HepG2 cells. DBCE stimulated glucose uptake, prevented Glut2 and phosphor-IRS1 downregulation induced by high glucose (HG, 30 mM). Moreover, DBCE pretreatment diminished glucose levels, PEPCK and G6Pase overexpression provoked by HG. These findings suggest that DBCE might be used for diabetes treatment through alpha-glucosidase or alpha-amylase activity regulation, pancreatic beta cell protection, hepatic glucose sensitivity improvement. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells' infiltrations around the pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Phytochemical study on the EtOAc fraction from the MeOH extract of the leaves of Cedrela sinensis led to the isolation of five known phenolic compounds (1-5), whose structures were identified as (+)-catechin (1), $kaempferol-3-0-{\alpha}- L-rhamnopyranoside$ (2), quercetin (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranoside$ (4), and $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (5), respectively, by comparing their spectral $(uv,\;JR,\;IH\;and\;^{13}C-NMR,\;and\;ESI-MS)$ and physicochemical data with those reported in the literature. Among the isolated compounds (1-5), compounds 1 and 3-5 exhibited significant DPPH radical scavenging effects with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $21.3{\pm}1.4\;to\;38.1{\pm}3.2 {\mu}M$ as well as superoxide anion radical scavenging effects with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $9.4{\pm}0.7\;to\;21.2{\pm}3.6 {\mu}M$. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 3-5 also exhibited considerable inhibitory effects on LDL peroxidation induced by either $CU^{2+}$ or AAPH with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $1.4{\pm}0.4\;to\;11.9{\pm}1.4\;{\mu}M$. These results indicated that flavonoids are the major constituents of C. sinensis and considered to be antioxidant principles of this plant.
