In this study, we assessed the effects of Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC) pretreatment on the antioxidant system in the pancreas and the development of alloxan-induced diabetes in rats. The rats were treated with MSC at a dose of 0.75 mg/rat/day for 2 weeks. The MSC-treated rats evidenced significantly increased glutathione content, GSH/GSSG ratio, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GRd) activities in the pancreas. Diabetes was induced via alloxan injection. The alloxan-diabetic rats evidenced significantly reduced glutathione content and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity and increased catalase activity in the pancreas, when measured 3 days after the alloxan injection. 2-week MSC pretreatment was shown to prevent the alloxan-induced hyperglycemia as well as changes in glutathione content, G6PD activity, and catalase activity. The results of this study indicate that the prevention of alloxan-diabetes by MSC pretreatment is associated with its effects on antioxidants in the pancreas, namely, the increase in cellular content and the reduction of glutathione by the facilitation of glutathione recycling induced via increased GPx, GRd, and G6PD activities.

Key establishment method based on channel reciprocity for time division duplex (TDD) system has earned a vital consideration in the majority of recent research. While most of the cellular systems rely on frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, especially the 5G network, which is not characterized by the channel reciprocity feature. This paper realizes the generation of a group secret key for multi-terminals communicated through a wireless network in FDD mode, by utilizing the nature of the physical layer for the wireless links between them. I consider a new group key generation approach, which using bitwise XOR with a modified pairwise secret key generation approach not based on the channel reciprocity feature. Precisely, this multi-node secret key agreement technique designed for three wireless network topologies: 1) the triangle topology, 2) the multi-terminal star topology, and 3) the multi-node chain topology. Three multi-node secret key agreement protocols suggest for these wireless communication topologies in FDD mode, respectively. I determine the upper bound for the generation rate of the secret key shared among multi-node, for the three multi-terminals topologies, and give numerical cases to expose the achievement of my offered technique.

Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a vital element in nonterrestrial networks, especially with respect to 5G communication systems and beyond. The use of UAVs in support of 4G/5G base station (uncrewed aerial vehicle base station [UAV-BS]) has proven to be a practical solution for extending cellular network services to areas where conventional infrastructures are unavailable. In this study, we introduce a UAV-BS system that utilizes a high-capacity wireless backhaul operating in millimeter-wave frequency bands. This system can achieve a maximum throughput of 1.3 Gbps while delivering data at a rate of 300 Mbps, even at distances of 10 km. We also present the details of our testbed implementation alongside the performance results obtained from field tests.

Promising evidence suggests that amyloid beta peptide ($A{\beta}$), a key mediator in age-dependent neuronal and cerebrovascular degeneration, activates death signalling processes leading to neuronal as well as non-neuronal cell death in the central nervous system. A major cellular event in $A{\beta}$-induced apoptosis of non-neuronal cells, including cerebral endothelial cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, is mitochondrial dysfunction. The apoptosis signalling cascade upstream of mitochondria entails $A{\beta}$ activation of neutral sphingomyelinase, resulting in the release of ceramide from membrane sphingomyelin. Ceramide then activates protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a member in the ceramide-activated protein phosphatase (CAPP) family. PP2A dephosphorylation of Akt and FKHRL1 plays a pivotal role in $A{\beta}$-induced Bad translocation to mitochondria and transactivation of Bim. Bad and Bim are pro-apoptotic proteins that cause mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by excessive ROS formation, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage, and release of mitochondrial apoptotic proteins including cytochrome c, apoptosis inducing factor (AIF), endonuclease G and Smac. The cellular events activated by $A{\beta}$ to induce death of non-neuronal cells are complex. Understanding these apoptosis signalling processes will aid in the development of more effective strategies to slow down age-dependent cerebrovascular degeneration caused by progressive cerebrovascular $A{\beta}$ deposition.

In this study, the antioxidative effect, cellular protective effect and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($11.48\;{\mu}g$/mL) showed more excellent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical, DPPH) scavenging activity (FSC50) than those of leaf and stem extracts ($17.45\;{\mu}g$/mL). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity (OSC50) of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/H2O2 system were investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($0.56\;{\mu}g$/mL) showed 3 times more excellent ROS scavenging activity than L-ascorbic acid ($1.50\;{\mu}g$/mL). The protective effects of the ethyl acetate fractions of extracts from different parts of Cosmos bipinnatus on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The ethyl acetate fractions of leaf and stem extract and flower extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner ($10\sim50\;{\mu}g$/mL). The inhibitory effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract ($62.75\;{\mu}g$/mL) on tyrosinase was investigated to assess the whitening efficacy. The ethyl acetate fraction of Cosmos bipinnatus flower extract showed 3.5 times higher tyrosinase inhibitory effect than arbutin ($226.88\;{\mu}g$/mL) known as an effective whitening agent. These results indicate that fractions of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. Fractions of Cosmos bipinnatus extracts can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant and whitening.

본 연구에서는 편백나무 잎 추출물의 항산화 효능 평가와 성분 분석을 통하여 편백나무 잎의 항노화 기능성 화장품 원료로서의 이용 가능성을 평가하였다. Luminol 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종 (reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 편백나무 잎 추출물의 총항산화능은 에틸아세테이트 분획(0.22 ${\mu}g/mL$)과 아글리콘(aglycone) 분획(0.20 ${\mu}g/mL$)에서 모두 L-ascorbic acid (1.50 ${\mu}g/mL$)보다 약 7배 더 큰 항산화 효능을 나타내었다. Rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 편백나무 잎 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 측정하였을 때 에틸아세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획 모두 농도 의존적(5~25 ${\mu}g/mL$)으로 세포보호효과를 나타내었다. 타이로신네이즈의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 편백나무 잎 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획에서 각각 74.43, 53.80 ${\mu}g/mL$으로 나타났으며 아글리콘 분획의 경우 강력한 미백제로 알려진 arbutin (226.88 ${\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 약 4배 정도 더 우수한 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획은 TLC 크로마토그램에서 3개의 띠를 나타내었고, HPLC 크로마토그램(360 nm)은 3개의 피이크를 보여주었다. 분리된 3가지 성분은 taxifolin, quercetin, 그리고 Kaempferol로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과들은 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획들은 $^1O_2$을 비롯한 활성산소종을 소거하고 활성산소종에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계에서, 특히 태양자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획들은 항산화나 미백용 화장품에 응용가능성을 확인하였다.

Since the commercially available rabbit anti-cyclin D3, generated from c-terminal 16 amino acid residues which are common to human and murine cyclin D3, is highly cross-reactive with many other cellular proteins of mouse, a new rabbit polyclonal anti-cyclin D3 has been raised by using murine cyclin D3 protein expressed at a high level in Escherichia coli as the immunogen. To express murine cyclin D3 protein in E. coli, the cyclin D3 cDNA fragment encoding c-terminal 236 amino acid residues obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was inserted into the NcoI/BamHI site of protein expression vector, pET 3d. Molecular mass of the cyclin D3 overexpressed in the presence of IPTG (Isopropyl $\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside) was approximately 26 kDa as calculated from the reading frame on the DNA sequence, and the protein was insoluble and mainly localized in the inclusion bodies that could be easily purified from the other cellular soluble proteins. When renaturation was performed following denaturation of the insoluble cyclin D3 protein in the inclusion bodies using guanidine hydrochloride, 4.4 mg of soluble form of cyclin D3 protein was produced from the transformant cultured in 100ml of LB media under the optimum conditions. Four-hundred micrograms of the soluble form of cyclin D3 protein was used for each immunization of a rabbit. When the antiserum obtained 2 weeks after tertiary immunization was applied to Western blot analysis, it was able to detect 33 kDa cyclin D3 protein in both murine lymphoma cell line BW5147.G.1.4 and human Jurkat T cells at 3,000-fold dilution with higher specificity to murine cyclin D3, demonstrating that the new rabbit polyclonal anti-murine cyclin D3 generated against c-terminal 236 amino acid residues more specifically recognizes murine cyclin D3 protein than does the commercially available rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against c-terminal 16 amino acids residues.
