Tissue factor (TF, tissue thromboplastin) is a membrane bound glycoprotein, which acceler-ates the blood clotting, activating both the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathways to serve as a cofactor for activated factor VII (Vila). The TF-factor Vila complex (TF/VIIa) proteolytically activates factors IX and X, which leads to the generation of thrombin and fibrin clots. In order to isolate TF inhibitors, by means of a bioassay-directed chromatographic separation technique, from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica Lindley (Rosaceae), a known sesquiterpene glycoside (2) and ferulic acid (3) were isolated as inhibitors that were evaluated using a single-clotting assay method for determining TF activity. Another sesquiterpene glycoside (1) was also isolated but was inactive in the assay system. Compound 3 was yielded by alkaline hydrolysis of compound 2. The structures of compounds 1, 2, and 3 were identified by means of spectral analysis as $3-O-{\alph}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-a-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)-[{\alph}-L-rhamnopyrano-syl-(1{\rightarrow}6)]-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl nerolidol$ (1), $3-O-{\alph}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\alph}-L-rhamnopyr-anosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)-[{\alph}-L-(4-trans-feruloyl)-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)]-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ nerolidol (2) and ferulic acid (3), respectively. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited 50% of the TF activity at con-centrations of 2 and $369{\;}\mu\textrm{m}/TF$ units, respectively.

ATP synthase produces ATP, a major energy source for metabolic processes in organisms, from ADP and inorganic phosphate in cellular membranes. ATP synthase is known as a rotary motor, in which the c-subunit ring functions as a rotor. In this work, we have tried to develop a more general preparation procedure of thermophilic $F_oc$-ring ($TF_oc$-ring) for NMR measurements. The expression of $TF_oF_1$ is easily affected by various experimental conditions such as temperature, shape and size of a flask, a volume of medium, and shaking rate of an incubator. Accordingly, we have tried to optimize the expression conditions of $TF_oF_1$. $TF_oc$-rings were purified from $TF_oF_1$ according to a reported method. We modified purification procedures to improve purity and yield of $TF_oc$. On top of them, we found a new combination of detergents for the purification at anion-exchange column chromatography. To examine the effect of lipid environments on the structure, the $TF_oc$-rings were reconstituted into two kinds of lipid bilayers, namely, saturated and unsaturated lipid ones. Then, we have compared characteristics of the $TF_oc$-ring structures in these membranes with solid-state NMR.

동일한 음이온을 가진 두 가지 종류의 이온성 액체인 1-ethy-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][TfO])와 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([bmpyr][TfO])를 대상으로 약 303 K로부터 약 343 K의 온도 범위와 약 30 MPa까지의 압력 범위에서 이온성 액체에 녹는 황화수소($H_2S$)와 메탄($CH_4$)의 용해도를 측정하였다. 가변부피투시창이 장착된 고압용 상평형 장치를 사용하여 온도를 변화시키면서 여러 가지 조성을 갖는 기체 + 이온성 액체 혼합물의 기포점 압력을 측정함으로써 이온성 액체에서의 기체의 용해도를 결정하였다. 이온성 액체에 대한 $H_2S$의 용해도는 압력이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 반면에 이온성 액체에 대한 $CH_4$의 용해도는 압력이 증가함에 따라 크게 증가하였으나 온도의 영향은 거의 없었다. 동일한 음이온을 갖는 이온성 액체인 [emim][TfO]와 [bmpyr][TfO]에 대하여 $H_2S$의 용해도는 몰랄 농도 기준으로 온도 및 압력 조건에 관계없이 거의 유사하였다. 이온성 액체[emim][TfO]에 대한 $H_2S$와 $CH_4$의 용해도를 비교한 결과, $H_2S$의 용해도가 $CH_4$의 용해도보다 훨씬 컸다. 동일한 종류의 이온성 액체에 대하여 본 연구를 통해 얻은 $H_2S$와 $CH_4$의 용해도 데이터를 문헌으로부터 얻은 $CO_2$의 용해도 데이터와 비교하였다. 같은 압력 및 온도 조건에서 비교할 때, $CO_2$의 용해도는 $H_2S$와 $CH_4$의 용해도의 사이에 있었다.

Nanopiezotronics is an emerging area of nanotechnology with a variety of applications that include piezoelectric field-effect transistors and diodes, self-powered nanogenerators and biosystems, and wireless nano/biosensors. By exploiting coupled piezoelectric and semiconducting characteristics, it is possible for nanowires, nanobelts, or nanorods to generate rectifying current and potential under external mechanical energies such as body movement (handling, winding, pushing, and bending) and muscle stretching, vibrations (acoustic and ultrasonic waves), and hydraulic forces (body fluid and blood flow). Fully transparent, flexible (TF) nanogenerators that are operated by external mechanical forces will be presented. By controlling the density of the seed layer for ZnO nanorod growth, transparent ZnO nanorod arrays were grown on ITO/PES films, and a TF conductive electrode was stacked on the ZnO nanorods. The resulting integrated TF nanodevice (having transparency exceeding 70 %) generated a noticeable current when it was pushed by application of an external load. The output current density was clearly dependent on the force applied. Furthermore, the output current density depended strongly on the morphology and the work function of the top electrode. ZnO nanorod-based nanogenerators with a PdAu, ITO, CNT, and graphene top electrodes gave output current densities of approximately $1-10\;uA/cm^2$ at a load of 0.9 kgf. Our results suggest that our TF nanogenerators are suitable for self-powered TF device applications such as flexible self-powered touch sensors, wearable artificial skins, fully rollable display mobile devices, and battery supplements for wearable cellular phones.

The effect of WO3 addition on microwave dielectric properties of BaTiO3-3{(1-x)TiO2-xWO3} system was studied. Addition of WO3 to this system resulted in the formation of BaWO4 and Ba2Ti9O20 phases. Both the dielectric constant (K) and the temperature coefficientof resonant frequency (Tf) were decreased with the amount of WO3 addition. The value of Q$\times$f0 was increased as the amount of WO3 was increased up to x=0.0275, and then decreased when x exceeded 0.03. At x=0.0275, this ceramic showed excellent microwave proprties of K=34-35, Q$\times$f0=50,000-53,000, and near zero ppm/$^{\circ}C$ of Tf.

Based on the principal component analysis (PCA) of Richards' parameter estimates, ginseng field soils were grouped as the principal component 1 (PC1) and the principal component 2 (PC2). The microflora and physico-chemical characteristics of each soil group were compared to elucidate soil environmental factors affecting the disease development of root rot of ginseng seedling. Among 3 soil groups by PC1, there were differences in the populations of total fungi (TF) and Cylindrocarpon plus Fusarium (C+F), and the population ratio of Cylindrocarpon plus Fusarium to total fungi or total bacteria (C+F/TF, C+F/TB) in rhizoplane of ginseng seedlings, the population of total actinomycetes (TA) and the population ratio of total Fusarium to total actinomycetes (Fus/TA) in soil, and soil chemical properties (EC, NO3-N, K, Mn, ect.). Among 4 soil groups by PC2, there were differences in TF, C+F, TB, C+F/TF and C+F/TB in the rhizoplane, Trichoderma plus Gliocladium (T+G) in soil, and P2O5 content in soil. Especially, EC, NO3-N, K, K/Mg and Mn were positively correlated to PC1, and TA was negatively to PC1; however, TF, C+F, TB, C+F/TF and C+F/TB in the rhizoplane were significantly correlated to PC2 positively. On the other hand, microbes in the rhizoplane were not significantly correlated to the stand-missing rate (SMR), although TA and Fe/Mn were negatively correlated, and pH and Ca were positively correlated to SMR.

누에 트랜스페린(BmTf)의 면역적 기능을 분석하기 위해 다양한 미생물 및 산화적 스트레스를 부가한 누에에서 전사체 발현을 분석해 보았다. E. coli를 주사한 경우에만 표피와 지방체에서만 특이적으로 정상누에에서 보다 BmTf가 과발현 됨을 확인할 수 있었고, E. coli 및 $FeCl_3$의 경구감염과 $FeCl_3$를 주사한 경우에는 BmTf 전사체의 과발현을 확인할 수 없었다. 또한 세균에 의해서만 발현이 증가되는 항균펩타이드와는 다르게 BmTf는 미생물의 종류에 상관없이 세균, 곰팡이 및 바이러스에 의해 발현이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 이에 반해 산화적 스트레스제인 $H_2O_2$, Cu 및 $FeCl_3$에 의해서는 발현량의 변화가 없었다. 다양한 protein kinase inhibitor 처리 후 2시간 경과시에는 모든 처리구에서 BmTf 발현량이 증가하였으므로 BmTf는 ERK, PLC, PKA, PI3K, MAPK, 및 JNK에 의해 발현이 down-regulation4을 추정할 수 있었다. BmTf 발현의 주요 유도원을 확인하기 위해 E. coli 및 $FeCl_3$를 각각 경구감염과 주사를 통해 누에 체내에 주입한 후 체내 유리 철 양을 분석한 결과, E. coli 주사 및 경구감염한 누에 체내에 철 양은 정상과 거의 유사한 수준이었고, $FeCl_3$를 주입한 경우 철 양이 상당히 증가되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 BmTf는 미생물 침입시 과발현되어 생체방어 작용을 수행하고, 기초적인 발현량으로 고유기능인 철 대사 및 산화적 스트레스 방어를 수행함을 추정할 수 있었다.

The soluble transferrin receptor(TfR) in human serum has been shown recently to be a truncated form of intact membrane bound receptor containing most of the extracellular domain. We purfied the transferin-free TfR from human serum by immounoaffinity chromatography which produced the single protein identity in high resolution gel chormatography. The monoclonal antibodies(MAb) against purifed serum TfR were produced by fusion of spleen cells o fimmunized Balb/c mice and SP2 cells. Ten hybrids producing MAb specific for serum TfR were identifed and determine their iostypes. A immunoraddiometric assay (IRMA) for serum TfR was established using two monoclonal IgG1 antibodies as the coating and indicator antibodies on the bosis of their suitability in sandwich IRMA of serum TfR. The mean serum TfR levels in the 15 normal male, 15 normal female, and 19 iron-deficient subjects were 5.4$\pm$0.98, 4.6$\pm$0/76, and 18.0$\pm$12.8mg/1, respectively, and the difference in mean values between normal and iron deficient subjects was significant(p=0.0005). There existed the inverse logarithmic relationship(r=-0.9336, p<0.0001) between the serum TfR and ferritin levels.
