쌀가루의 압출 조리조건과 단순 열처리조건에 따른 쌀전분의 분자량 분포와 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 민감성 변화를 조사하였다. 압출조리는 단일축 압출성형기를 이용하였으며 원료의 수분함량 $17{\sim}29%$, 압출온도 $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 처리하였다. 단순 열처리는 원통형 ???L슐에 시료를 밀봉하여 $100{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ 유탕기내에서 일정시간 가열하였다. 이들 가열처리된 시료를 다시 ${\alpha}-amylase$를 처리하여 가수분해속도를 측정하였다. 쌀 전분 원료미분의 수분함량이 23% 이하일 때 압출조리시 수분용해도와 분자량 감소가 크게 일어났으며 이러한 변화는 extruder의 기계적 에너지 투입량(MEI)과 비례하였다. 한편 단순 열처리에서는 원료 수분함량이 높아짐에 따라 가열에 의한 분자량 감소가 감지되었으나 그 변화정도는 압출조리에 비교하여 저조하였다 열처리된 시료를 ${\alpha}-amylase$로 처리하였을 경우 수분함량 23% 이하에서 압출조리된 시료는 효소적 가수분해가 크게 일어나 대부분의 전분입자가 5백만 dalton 이하의 분자량을 가지게 되었으나 고수분 압출물과 단순 열처리에서는 효소처리에 의한 분자량 감소가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 분자량 변화 현상은 전분용액의 고유점도 변화에 의하여 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 쌀전분의 저분자화에 의한 수용성 증가 및 효소반응 민감성 증대는 단순 열처리보다는 압출조리에 의하여 크게 일어나며 이것도 extruder 내에서 가열과 동시에 가해지는 강한 압력과 층밀림에 의하여 전분입자의 변형이 크게 일어나는 것을 입증하는 것이다.

신령버섯균사체 액체배양 추출물(Agaricus blazei mycelial liquid culture extract, ABMLCE)은 TM-3 mouse Leydig 고환세포에서 testosterone (TS)의 생성을 촉진하였다. 이번 연구에서는 eritadenine (EA, 15.3 mg/100 g)을 함유한 ABMLCE가 RWPE-1 전립선세포에서 전립선비대증(Benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) 관련 핵심 효소인 $5{\alpha}-reductase$ 2 ($5{\alpha}-R2$) 활성과 dihydrotestosterone (DHT) 함량을 감소시켰음을 보고한다. RWPE-1 전립선 세포는 24-well plate에서 ABMLCE (0~50 ppm), EA (0~10 ppm,), finasteride (FS $10{\mu}M$: positive Control)를 함유한 Keratinocyte serum-free medium (K-SFM)에서 24시간 배양하였다. 시료처리 세포배양액에 대해 $5{\alpha}-R2$, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) 효소활성, TS, DHT, tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$)와 $interleukin-1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$)를 assay kit를 사용하여 분석하였다. $5{\alpha}-R2$ 활성과 DHT 함량은 ABMLCE의 농도 의존적으로 유의성(p<0.05) 있게 감소되었고, SOD와 CAT 효소활성은 유의성(p<0.05) 있게 증가되었다. 반면에 COX-2 활성과 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 $IL-1{\beta}$의 함량은 감소되었다(p<0.05). 마찬가지로 EA의 효과도 ABMLCE 효과와 유사하였다. ABMLCE 50 ppm과 EA 10 ppm의 $5{\alpha}-R2$ 및 DHT 감소효과는 FS $10{\mu}M$ 효과와 유사하였다. 이들 결과는 ABMLCE와 EA는 항염증효과와 항산화효과를 통하여 BPH 유발 핵심 인자인 $5{\alpha}-R2$ 효소활성과 DHT 함량을 감소시켰다. 또한 이 결과는 EA를 함유하는 ABMLCE는 인체 BPH 개선 소재로 활용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

Mancozeb (MCZ) is known to have detrimental effects on the reproductive system, but the toxicity of MCZ on immune responses has not been systematically investigated. We investigated the effects of MCZ exposure on the activities of murine peritoneal macrophages through evaluation of MCZ-induced alteration of nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}(TNF-\alpha)$ synthesis. Macrophages were examined ex vivo from mice orally treated with various doses of MCZ for 5 consecutive days per week for 4 weeks (subacute exposure, 250, 1000, 1500 mg/kg/day) followed by culture for 2 $(TNF-{\alpha})$ or 3 days (NO) in the presence of LPS plus $IFN-{\gamma}$. Macrophages from naive mice were also cultured with various concentrations of MCZ (0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 ${\mu}g//mIL$ in the presence of LPS plus $IFN-{\gamma}$ for 2 $(TNF-{\alpha})$ or 3 days (NO) in vitro. NO production was decreased with the in vitro exposure to all concentrations of MCZ. However, the amount of NO production by peritoneal macrophages from MCZ-subacutely exposed mice was increased in comparision with that of control group. In vitro, MCZ suppressed $(TNF-\alpha)$ secretion with significant reduction at 2 ${\mu}g/mL$ MCZ. Conversely, $(TNF-{\alpha})$ release was enhanced ex vivo. This study provides the substantial evidence on MCZ-induced alternation in macrophage activity. In order to clearly understand the contrasting effect of MCZ on peritoneal macrophage activity, it is necessary to further investigate the influence of major metabolite of MCZ (ETU) exposure on the NO production and $(TNF-{\alpha})$ synthesis.

티타늄과 그 합금은 경량성, 우수한 기계적 성질 그리고 우수한 내식성 때문에 주요한 안경테 소재로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 안경테 소재로 사용되고 있는 순 티타늄(P-Ti)과 ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-티타늄(${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti)을 이용하여 전기저항땜질 장치를 이용하여 접합조건의 변화에 따른 접합부의 특성 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. P-Ti 및 ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti 모두 접합부 근처에서 땜질 전류의 증가에 따른 결정립의 조대화에 의해 경도의 감소가 나타났으며, 특히 ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti 보다 P-Ti에서 경도의 감소가 크게 나타났다. ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti에서 경도값의 저하가 적은 것은 미세한 ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ 층상조직의 형성에 의한 효과인 것으로 판단된다.

Fabrication of soft magnetic composite powders for the $Fe_2O_3-Ca$ system by mechanical alloying(MA) has been investigated at room temperature. It is found that soft magnetic composite powders in which CaO is dispersed in ${\alpha}-Fe$ matrix are obtained by MA of $Fe_2O_3$ with Ca for 5 hours. Changes in magnetization and coercivity also reflect the details of the solidstate reduction process of hematite by pure metal of Ca during MA. The saturation magnetization of MA powders increases with increasing MA time and reaches a maximum value of 65 emu/g after 7 hours of MA. The average grain size of ${\alpha}-Fe$ in MA powders, estimated by diffraction line-width, gradually decreases with increasing MA time and reaches 52 nm after 5 hours of MA. It can also be seen that the coercivity of the 5-hour MA sample is fairly high at 190 Oe, suggesting that the grain refinement of already-produced ${\alpha}-Fe$ tends to clearly occur during MA.

본 연구에서는 $Fe_2O_3-Al$계 나노복합재료를 제조하기 위하여 실온 기계적 합금화법(MA)을 적용하였다. $Fe_2O_3$와 순금속 Al의 혼합분말을 5시간 동안 MA 처리한 결과 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 기지에 $Al_2O_3$가 미세하게 분산된 ${\alpha}-Fe/Al_2O_3$ 나노복합분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 MA 분말의 자화값 및 보자력 측정을 통하여 볼밀처리 중 순금속 Al에 의한 헤마타이트의 고상환원 과정을 자세히 관찰할 수 있었다. MA 분말시료의 벌크화를 위하여 소결온도 $1000^{\circ}C$ 및 $1100^{\circ}C$, 압력 60 MPa 에서 SPS 소결을 실시하였다. SPS 과정에서 MA 5시간 시료의 수축은 소결 개시 후 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 크며 소결온도 $1100^{\circ}C$까지 비교적 단조롭게 수축함을 알 수 있었다. X선 회절 결과로부터, MA 분말을 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 SPS 소결시킨 ${\alpha}-Fe/Al_2O_3$ 나노복합재료의 경우 ${\alpha}-Fe$상 평균 결정립 크기가 180 nm임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 MA 분말을 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 SPS 소결시킨 시료의 보자력이 88 Oe로 여전히 높은 값을 보이는 사실로부터 소결과정 중 자성상 ${\alpha}-Fe$의 결정립 성장이 크게 억제된 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of copper reduction on angiogenesis-related factors in patients with glioblastoma multiforme treated by gamma knife radiosurgery. Materials and Methods: In the present block randomized, placebo-controlled trial, fifty eligible patients with a diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme who were candidates for gamma knife radiosurgery were randomly assigned into two groups to receive daily either 1gr penicillamine and a low copper diet or placebo for three months. The intervention started on the same day as gamma knife radiosurgery. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and copper levels were measured at baseline and after the intervention. The serum copper level was used as the final index of compliance with the diet. In order to control probable side effects of intervention, laboratory tests were conducted at the beginning, middle and end of the study. Results: The patients had a mean age and Karnofsky Performance Scale of 43.7 years and 75 respectively. Mean serum copper levels were significantly reduced in intervention group. Mean survival time was 18.5 months in intervention group vs. 14.9 in placebo group. VEGF and IL-6 levels in the intervention group were also significantly reduced compared to the placebo group and $TNF-{\alpha}$ increased less. Conclusions: It seems that reducing the level of copper in the diet and dosing with penicillamine leads to decline of angiogenesis-related factors such as VEGF, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$. Approaches targeting angiogenesis may improve survival and can be used as a future therapeutic strategy.

The effects of combustion instability on flow structure and flame dynamics with the inlet configurations in a model gas turbine combustor were investigated using large eddy simulation (LES). A G-equation flamelet model was employed to simulate the unsteady flame behaviors. As a result of mean flow field, the change of divergent half angle($\alpha$) at combustor inlet results in variations in the size and shape of the central toroidal recirculation (CTRZ) as well as the flame length by changing corner recirculation zone (CRZ). The case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ show smaller size and upstream location of CTRZ than those of $90^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ by the development of higher swirl velocity. The flame length in the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ is shorter than other cases, while the case of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ yields the longest flame length due to the decrease of effective reactive area with the absence of CRZ. Through the analysis of pressure fluctuation, it was identified that the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ shows the largest damping effect of pressure oscillation in all configurations and brings in the noise reduction of 2.97dB, compared to that of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ having the largest pressure oscillation. These reasons were discussed in detail through the analysis of unsteady phenomena related to recirculation zone and flame surface. Finally the effects of flame-acoustic interaction were evaluated using local Rayleigh parameter.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of bornyl acetate on arterial blood pressure and vascular contractile responses in the normotensive rats and to establish the mechanism of action. Both phenylephrine (an adrenergi$\alpha$-receptor agonist) and high potassium (a membrane-depolarizing agent) caused greatly contractile responses in the isolated aortic strips. These phenylephrine (10$^{-5}$ M)-induced contractile responses were depressed in the presence of high concentrations of bornyl acetate (10∼20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), but not affected in low concentrations of bornyl acetate (2.5∼5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml). High potassium (5.6 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ M)-induced contractile responses were also greatly inhibited in the presence of bornyl acetate (2.5∼20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) in a dose-dependent fashion. Bornyl acetate (1∼10 mg/kg) given into a femoral vein of the normotensive rat produced a dose-dependent depressor response, which is transient (data not shown). Interestingly, the infusion of a moderate dose of bornyl acetate (3mg/kg/30 min) made a significant reduction in pressor responses induced by intravenous norepinephrine. Collectively, these results obtained from the present study demonstrate that intravenous bornyl acetate causes a dose-dependent depressor action in the anesthetized rat at least partly through the blockade of adrenergic $\alpha$$_1$-receptors. bornyl acetate also causes vascular relaxation in the isolated aortic strips of the rat via the blockade of adrenergic $\alpha$$_1$-receptors, in addition to the unknown mechanism of direct vasorelaxation.
