This study investigated the influence of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) and progesterone on acrosome reaction and proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition boar sperm. The sperm were diluted with semen extender and incubated with NaHCO₃ and progesterone at 38℃, 5% CO₂ for 6 h. Plasma membrane integrity and acrosome reaction were analyzed using SYBR14/propidium iodide (PI) and FITC-PNA/PI doubling staining method, and proportion of PUFA was analyzed using gas chromatography. In results, Plasma membrane integrity was significantly decreased in 50 mM NaHCO₃ group and acrosome reaction was significantly increased by over the 100 mM NaHCO₃ group compared to control group (p < 0.05). In addition, progesterone significantly increased decreased plasma membrane integrity at 100 mM progesterone and acrosome reaction at over the 5.0 µM progesterone (p < 0.05), but there was no difference among the 5.0 to 100 µM groups. PUFAs were significantly decreased in 100 mM NaHCO₃ and 50 µM progesterone treatments compared to control group. In summary NaHCO₃ and progesterone induce acrosome reaction and reduce PUFA composition in boar sperm, therefore, the results maybe help to understand basically knowledge for the acrosome reaction and PUFA composition in boar sperm.

본 연구는 NaF 경구 투여가 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐의 혈청 중 non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, uric acid 및 전해질 농도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 기본식이를 급여한 대조군인 BG군과 기본식이에 NaF 경구 투여군(NF3~50군) 9그룹의 식이군으로 나누어 5주간 실험사육을 행하였다. 흰쥐의 NEFA와 BUN, creatinine, uric acid 농도는 NaF 농도에 비례적으로 증가하였으며, 고농도의 NaF 투여군에서 대조군보다 유의적인 차이로 높게 관찰되었다(𝛼=0.05). 한편, 전해질 농도 중 total calcium (T-Ca)과 인(Pi) 농도는 대조군보다 NaF 투여군에서 낮게 동정되었으며, NaF 20 mg 이상 경구 투여한 군에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다(𝛼=0.05). 흰쥐의 NaF 경구 투여 처리는 농도가 증가함에 따라 NEFA 및 BUN, creatinine, uric acid의 농도가 상승하였으며, 전해질 농도는 저하되는 것으로 나타나 신장 기능 장애 등 바람직하지 않은 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

The stability constants, log K of the 1 : 1 complexation for IA ions, $Ag^+$, and $Tl^+$ with a series of podands having different aromatic end-groups (I-IV) have been determined conductometrically in methanol at 25.0 $^{\circ}$C. Exceptionally the equivalent conductivity, ${\lambda}_{eq}\;of\;Li^+\;and\;Na^+$ were increased by the addition of I, because the complexed ions are less mobile than solvated ions. The order of log K values for I was $Ag^+{\gg}Tl^+>K^+>Na^+>Rb^+>Cs6+>Li^+$. The log K sequence of the podands for the certain cations was I>II>III${\geq}$IV. And every podands except IV showed the maximum selectivity for $Ag^+$ among the cations. These results were discussed in terms of the aromatic end-group effects, such as hetero-donor atoms or conformational changes by ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interactions. The detailed conformations of ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking were also discussed by the observations of upfield shifts of some aromatic protons upon complexation from $^1H$ NMR spectra.

NaFeAs recently observed superconductivity with the maximum $T_c{\approx}25$ K is investigated using first principles approach. We will address briefly the electronic structure and contrast other superconducting pnictides. This system shows strong two-dimensionality and reduction of flatness in the Fermi surfaces undermines tendencies of magnetic or charge instabilities. As observed in other superconducting pnictides, $Q_M=(\pi,\pi,0)$ antiferromagnetic ordering, which has not been observed clearly yet in this compound, is energetically favored. However, contrast to other superconducting pnictides, the density of states in this ordering shows considerable electron-hole asymmetry, implying efficiency of hole-doping than electron-doping to enhance $T_c$.

Mutagenic activities of extracts from the filtrate of the cultured broth (PI-I), mycelia (pI-II), and the fruiting bodies (PI-III) of Phellinus igniarius were examined by Ames/Salmonella tests. No mutagenic activity was found in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100, either with or without S9 activation. In contrast, PI-I, PI-II, and PI-III showed inhibitory effects on the mutagenic activities by the directly-acting mutagens, 4-nitro-ο-phenylenediamine(NPD) and sodium azide ($NaN_3$), and also by the indirectly-acting mutagens, 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). These results suggest that P. igniarius possesses some antimutagenic activity and may contain some chemopreventive agents.

Juglans sinensis Dode has been reported to have antioxidant activity. However, the effect of Juglans sinensis Dode aquacupuncture(JS) on reactive oxygen species(ROS)-induced alterations in membrane transport function in renal tubular cells. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of JS on the organic hydroperoxide t-butylhydroperoxide(tBHP)-induced inhibition of $Na^+$-dependent phosphate($Na^+$-Pi) uptake in opossum kidney (OK) cells, an established renal proximal epithelial cell line. tBHP inhibited $Na^+$-Pi uptake in a time-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of tBHP was prevented by JS over concentration range of 0.05-1mg/100ml in a dose-dependent manner. Kinetic studies showed that tBHP caused an decrease in Vmax for $Na^+$-Pi uptake without any a significant change in Km. $Na^+$-dependent phosphonoformic acid binding, a irreversible inhibitor of renal $Na^+$-Pi uptake, was decreased by tBHP treatment. The reduction in Vmax and phosphonoformic acid binding by tBHP was prevented by JS. tBHP induced lipid peroxidation and its effect was completely inhibited by JS and antioxidant N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine. These data suggest that the oxidant inhibits phosphate uptake by a reduction in the number of active carrier across the membrane. JS may prevent oxidant-induced inhibition of membrane transport function by a mechanism similar to antioxidants in renal epithelial cells. Although the precise constituents remain to be explored, JS may be employed as a useful candidate herb for drug development to prevent and treat oxidant-mediated renal failure.

정삼투막 공정을 이용한 소금 및 수크로오스 용액의 처리에서 농도분극현상이 투과유속에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 정삼투 공정에서 투과 유속감소는 주로 분리막 표면에서의 농도분극에 기인하며, 분리막의 지지층에서 발생한 내부농도분극에 의한 투과유속 감속이 활성층에서 발생한 외부농도분극에 의한 것 보다 더 컸다. 순수 투과유속은 삼투압이 증가함에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하였다. NaCl 용액의 활성층 배향(DS-AL)에서의 수 투과계수는 $1.8081{\times}10^{-7}m/s{\cdot}atm$, 지지층 배향(DS-SL)의 경우 $1.0957{\times}10^{-7}m/s{\cdot}atm$ 이었으며, 이로부터 산출된 막저항은 각각 $5.5306{\times}10^6s{\cdot}atm/m$, $9.1266{\times}10^6s{\cdot}atm/m$ 이었다. 수크로오스 용액의 경우 활성층 배향(DS-AL)에서의 투과유속이 지지층 배향(DS-SAL)에서의 투과유속보다 1.33~1.90배 크게 나타났다. 삼투압(${\pi}$)에 대한 투과유속(J)의 변화는 전자의 경우 $J=-0.0177+0.4506{\pi}-0.0032{\pi}^2$, 후자의 경우 $J=0.0948+0.3292{\pi}-0.0037{\pi}^2$으로 표현될 수 있었다.

Nutritional status of cattle in Java in Indonesia was investigated by evaluating P, Ca, Mg, K and Na concentrations in forage and plasma inorganic phosphorus (Pi), Ca and Mg, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations of cattle during both rainy and dry seasons in 1988. Investigations were conducted at Jonggol (West Java), Malang (East Java) and Majokerto (East Java). Low P content in forage averaging 0.11% on a dry matter basis, high Ca:P ratio in forage in the rainy season (7.7:1) and low plasma Pi concentrations averaging 4.71 mg/dl were observed in Jonggol. In all three places, Ca content in forages was higher than the requirement according to the NRC standard and plasma Ca concentrations were above the critical level. During the rainy season forty percent of cattle in Malang and Mahokerto showed plasma Mg concentrations below 2mg/dl in spite of normal Mg and K content in forage. Forage samples from each place showed a wide variety in Na content, and Na content of two thirds of forage samples was lower than the requirement according to the NRC standard. Hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations in Malang and Majokerto showed higher values than the normal range.

이온성 계면활성제인 sodium laurylsulfate(NaLs)와 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTABr)의 존재하에서 항균성 N-[1-(benzotriazol-1-yl)benzyl]aniline(BBA)분자의 가수 분해 반응에 미치는 미셀효과를 검토한 바, NaLs가 존재하는 높은 pH에서 미셀 촉매효과가 나타났으며 결합상수(Ks)는 $1.45{\times}10^4M^{-1}$이었다. 이와 같은 미셀 촉매효과는 (BBA)의 소수성(${\pi}$: 4.93)보다 전이상태에서 생성되는 carbocation이 음이온성 미셀에 의한 정전기적 안정화에 기인한 결과로 보여진다.
