The purpose of this study was to determine nitrogen dioxide(NO$_2$) decay rate by reaction between NO$_2$ and interior materials in Korean residence. The results of this research could be helpful to choose the interior construction materials and to study on reduction of indoor air pollutants. The results of this research are as follows; For 30 residences in Seoul and Incheon from October 2000 to march 2001, the mean of infiltration rate was 0.70$\pm$0.44 ACH, and single-detached houses (7 houses) and apartments (19 houses) were 0.97$\pm$0.55 ACH and 0.61$\pm$0.34 ACH, respectively. The $CO_2$ decay followed approximately first-order process ($R^2$=0.97$\pm$0.02). There existed a statistic significance in filtration rate between houses built in 1980’s and built in 1990’s by t-test (p<0.02). Mean of NO$_2$ decay rates in 26 residence3s except 4 residences was 0.94$\pm$0.49hr$^{-1}$ , and also 0.86$\pm$0.49hr$^{-1}$ , 0.97$\pm$0.50hr$^{-1}$ in single-detached houses and apartments, respectively. Mean NO$_2$ decay rates in houses built in 1980’s were 0.78$\pm$0.37hr$^{-1}$ , 1.33$\pm$1.03hr$^{-1}$ , respectively. Nothing were showed statistical significance among indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and NO$_2$ decay rate. However, NO$_2$ decay rates had a tendency to increase by increase of temperature and humidity. Average volume/surface of participated houses was 0.55$\pm$0.07m and mean NO$_2$ deposition velocity was calculated as 1.46$\pm$0.59msec$^{-1}$ .

Taraxacum platycarpum H. Dahl. (Compositae) has been used as an anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer agent in the clinic. Although its antidepressant effect has been reported, however, its cognitive function is not investigated until yet. In the present study, we investigated whether the water extract of T. platycarpum (WETP) could improve cognitive function in cholinergic blockade-induced amnesia mouse model using the passive avoidance or Y-maze task. WETP (12.5, 25 or 50 mg/kg) significantly ameliorated the scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment both in the passive avoidance test and the Y-maze test. In addition, WETP significantly inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity measured by an ex vivo study using the mouse whole brain. These results suggest that WETP alleviates the cognitive dysfunction caused by the cholinergic blockade, in part, via AChE inhibition, and that it may be a useful for treating cognitive dysfunction.

표식 유전자를 이용하여 체세포 잡종체를 선발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 감자조직에는 T-DNA를 도입하여 식물호르몬 무첨가 배지에서도 생장가능한 형질전환체을 획득하고, 담배조직에는 NPT H gene을 도입하여 kanamycin에 대해서 저항성을 나타내는 형질전환체를 획득하여 각각의 특성구명과 원형질체를 유리하여 도입된 유전자 marker를 이용해서 융합을 시도한 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 감자 괴경에서 Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ach5와 A. rhizogenes ATCC15834를 접종하여 crown gall tumor 및 hairy root를 유기하였으며 이러한 tumor조직은 식물 호르몬 무첨가 배지에서 생장이 가능하였다. 2. 감자에서 유기된 hairy root로부터 callus 형성은 2.4-D 2mg/1 첨가된 MS 배지에서 가장 양호하였으며 casein hydrolysate 1g/1가 첨가하면 유연 한 callus의 증식이 더욱 왕성하였다. 3. Activated charcoal이 0.5~2.0g/1 첨가된 배지에서는 crown gall tumor callus의 절단면이 갈변되는 것을 방지 할 수 있어 생존률을 높일 수 있었으나 hairy root에서는 갈변되어 고사되었다. 4. 2, 4-D 2mg/1와 casein hydrolysate 1g/1를 첨가한 배지에 hairy root callus를 현탁배의한 결과 양호한 많은 callus 덩어리들을 단시간에 얻을 수 있었다. 5. $Tri^-$parental mating으로 NPTII gene이 coding되어있는 binary vector인 pGA643을 wild type 및 disarmid된 Agrobacterium 내에 도입하여 Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ach5/pGA643, A.tumefaciens $A_4T$/pGA643, A. tumefaciens LBA4404/pGA643를 획득하였다. 이 세 개의 conjugant를 사용하여 0.7% agarose gel 상에서 pGA643을 확인하였다. 6. pGA643이 도입왼 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404와 담배 조직과 동시배양하여 kanamycin $100\mug$/ml 첨가된 배지에 생존하는 callus를 선발하였으며 동일배지에서 callus의 증식이 가능하였다. 7.형질전환된 담배 callus로부터 식물체 형성은 BA 2mg/1를 첨가한 배지에서 가능하였다. 8. 재분화된 담배의 엽조직은 kanamycin.이 $1000\mug$/ml 첨가된 MS 배지에서도 왕성히 callus가 유기되어, 이는 재분화체에서도 NPTII gene이 그대로 유지되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 9. 담배의 정상 shoot와 형질전환된 shoot를 kanamycin이 $100\mug$/ml이 함유된 MS배지에 기내삽목한 결과, 정상 shoot는 발근이 되지 않고 황화 되었으나 형질전환된 shoot는 발근이되었으며 정상적으로 생장을 하였다. 10. 감자의 T-DNA가 도입된 현탁배양 callus는 cellulase 2%, macerozyme 2%, dricelase 1%에서 양호하게 유리되었다. 11. Osmoticum으로서 mannitol 농도 0.8M에서 담배와 감자의 두 조직 모두 원형질체유리가 가장 효과적이었다. 생존력은 T-DNA가 도입된 감자의 hairy root를 callus로 탈분화 시킨 후 현탁배양한 callus가 mannitol 0.5M에서 97%를 나타냈고, 그리고 NPTII gene이 도입된 담배의 엽조직은 mannitol 0.7M에서 94%로 최고를 타나냈다. 12. 원형질체 융합은 PEG solution 처리 15분 후부터 관찰되기 시작하여 20분에 완전히 융합되었고, 융합된 원형질체는 선발 marker인 호르몬 무첨가 및 kanamycin 첨가배지에서 배양 5일 후에 세포벽이 재생되었으며 4주일 후부터 colony들이 관찰되었다.

Xenopus oocyte is one of the widely used heterologous expression systems of ion channels for electrophysiological studies. Here we describe a new method in which cRNA produced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in vitro transcription is injected to express ion channels in oocytes. This method enables us (1) to eliminate all or a part of the untranslated region of the cDNA and to replace it with a known sequence which helps increase the expression level in oocytes, and (2) to use the PCR product for in vitro transcription without subcloning. Using this method, the expression level of one of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) $\alpha$$_{6}$ subtype in oocytes was systematically increased by more than 100-fold, which was confirmed both by the $\alpha$-Bungarotoxin ($\alpha$,/TEX>Bgt) binding assay and the current measurement.t.

In order to make an efficient prescription and cope with dementia, learning and memory functions of Sprague-Dawley model rats were tested with Morris water maze. And to evaluate the effect of the sample drug(CHM) on choline acetyltranferase and acetylcholine esterase, immunoreactive measurement and enzymatic activity measuring were carried out. Rats were injected with ibotenic acid through hippocampus CA1 and CA3 area. The results are as following. CHM improves the learning ability in the acquisition test and memory function in the retention test significantly. And CHM increases the level of AChE which is resolving acetylcholine. Though it doesn't increase the level of ChAT significantly which is synthesizing acetylcholine, but it shows the tendency of increase. So these results show that CHM improve the cholinergic catabolism and anabolism, and the increment of metabolic activity of cholinergic system. Thus it can be concluded that CHM will be helpful to cholinergic brain disease induced by primary or senile reduction of acetylcholine secretive activity.

We investigated whether endothelium-derived NO and endothelin-1 might result enhanced vasoconstriction induced by administration of norepinephrien (NE) at the early stage of one-kidney, one-clip (1K1C) renal hypertensive rats. We also studied the relation ship of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) using rat aorta in this hypothesis. L-NMMA (30$\mu$M) and L-NAME(30${\mu}M$) enhanced vasoconstriction induced by NE in thoracic aorta of control rats. However angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor didn't. The aorta of 1KIC rats showed a singnificantly exaggerated contractile response to NE as compared with control rats. Rub-bing the endothelium abolished this difference. Ach and SNP-induced vasorelaxation show no significant difference between 1KIC and control rats. The treatment of phosphoramidon (10${\mu}M$) and oral administration of captopril (0.05, w/v%) abolished the exaggerated contractile response to NE at early stage of 1KIC rats. These results suggest that the increase of contractile response at the early phase in 1KIC rat is partially involved in the activation of ACE.
