The information obtained from the analysis of respiratory muscle elecromyographic (EMG) activities provides a mean for studying muscular activity in relation to the ventilatory process. Thus, in order to comprehend the airflow pattern and its brain control, signal processing is required to characterize respiratory muscle activity. This paper presents a computerized method for the analysis of the electrical activity of the respiratory muscles of premature lambs, and focuses upon the automatic determination of respiratory timing points such as onset and cessation points of the burst activity. Based on experimental results, reliable timing points can be obtained using the proposed methodology.

본실험의 목적은 탄산기에 방사성동위원소 C14를 표식한 sodium acetate ($CH_3$C14 OONA)를 사용하여 염소의 위내에 존재하는 acetate 의 위벽으로부터의 흡수율과 위의 acetate의 평균함량을 측정하는데 있다. C14 로 표식된 sodium acetate(specific activity 1.35$\times$108 cpm./g.)를 급사 3 시간후의 염소의 위내에 주입하고 주입 2분후부터 약 2분간격으로 위 내용물을 추울하여 column chromatograpy를 이용하여 acetate를 분리정량한 후 그의 specific activity를 측정하였다. 주입후 3 분경까지는 위내에 존재하는 acetate에 의한 표식 acetate의 희석으로 말미암아 specific activity 는 급격히 감소되어 갔고 3 분후부터는 감소도가 비교적 완만하였으나 역시 계속적으로 감소되어갔다. 희석완료후의 이 specific activity 감소는 위벽을 통한 acetate를 흡수와 위 내용물로부터의 acetate 생성으로 인한 것으로서, 이 감소율로부터 acetate의 위벽흡수속도를 추정할 수 있다. 상기 specific activity의 감소 graph 로부터 추정된 위내 acetate의 량은 본실험의 제조건하에서 약 30 g이었으며 위내 acetate 의 specific activity가 1/2 로 감소되는데 요하는 평균 시간은 약 4 분이었다. 이는 위내에 존재하는 acetate량의 약 절반은 4 분동안에 위벽을 통과함을 의미한다.

Antioxidant activities of Ulmus davidiana root and bark extracts were evaluated by various antioxidant tests, including DPPH radical-scavenging, nitric oxide-scavenging, superoxide anion radical-scavenging, and ABTS radical-scavenging assays, and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and reducing power analysis, along with the determination of total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Both the extracts showed strong antioxidant activities by these testing methods. Ulmus davidiana root extract possessed strong reducing power and nitric oxide-scavenging activity, and high scavenging activities against free radicals including the superoxide anion, and the ABTS and DPPH radicals, but a weaker scavenging activity of SOD. In contrast, the Ulmus davidiana bark extract exhibited a strong SOD-like activity, but all the other activities were weak. It was observed that the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the Ulmus davidiana root extract were higher than those of the Ulmus davidiana bark extract.

In this paper we report an electrochemical sensor based on ZnO-functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite (ZnO-GO) for the sensitive determination of the cabergoline. Cabergoline electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CHA) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The modified electrode shows electrocatalytic activity toward cabergoline oxidation in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 7.0) with a reduction of the overpotential of about 180 mV and an increase in peak current. The DPV data showed that the obtained anodic peak currents were linearly dependent on the cabergoline concentrations in the range of $1.0-200.0{\mu}M$, with the detection limit of $0.45{\mu}M$. The prepared electrode was successfully applied for the determination of cabergoline in real samples.

Beer의 법칙을 이용하여 lysozyme-M. lysodeikticus cell의 용해반응속도 및 lysozyme의 활성을 측정할 수 있는 간단하고 새로운 실험방법을 제시하였다. M.lysodeikticus cell의 농도에 따라 용액의 UV 투과도를 측정하였으며 이것은 Beer의 법칙에 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 용액 내의 lysozyme 농도 및 용해반응에 의해 생성되는 생성물은 UV 투과도에 전혀 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 실험적으로 증명되었다. 따라서 lysozyme의 용해반응이 진행되는 동안 용액내에 존재하는 M. lysodeikticus cell의 농도는 UV-분광광도계를 이용하여 in-situ로 측정될 수 있었다. 이렇게 얻어진 M. lysodeikticus cell의 농도변화를 Michaelis-Menten식을 이용하여 lysozyme-M. lysodeikticus cell의 용해 반응속도 상수들을 결정하였다. 최대반응속도상수 $k_3$은 약 $0.1734sec^{-1}$로 나타났으며 Michaelis-Menten 상수는 약 $9.83{\times}10^{-6}M$으로 나타났다. Lysozyme의 용해반응속도가 활성에 의존하므로 이와 같은 측정을 통해 lysozyme의 활성도도 측정할 수 있었다.

The paraoxonase (E. C. 3.1.1.2) is a major enzyme to detoxicate the organophosphorus and carbamate which are the most widely used as the agricultural spraying insecticides. To investgate the distributions of plasma paraoxonase activity and the factors affecting the enzyme activity, the plasmas of 945 Korean rural population were analysed with the modified Krisch's direct sphectrphotometry method. Three indices of the enzyme activity - basal activity, stimulated activity (by NaCl), % stimulation - were obtained from the analysis. Three indicies suggested unimodal distributions, so we couldn't identify the low activity group risk group to organophosphorus & carbamate insecticides poisoning. There is no significant relation between 3 actvity indicies and sex, age, or history of insecticide use (p>0.05). The basal activity and the stimulated activity have significant relationship and high coefficient of determination with the activities of their parents ($r^2$=0.30, 0.24 ; p<0.05), but the % stimulation does not ($r^2$=0.02 ; p<0.05). These results suggest that the activity of paraoxonase is determined mainly by the genetic factor.

The relative activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in E. coli was measured at 340 $m\mu$ with a spectrophotometer. The synchronized E. coli cells in exponential phase were treated with Phage($T_2$) ghost, and used as a enzyme solution directly. This assay method supposed to be useful for the continuous determination of enzyme activity in E. coli.

Antioxidative effects of crude chlorophylls and carotenoids extracts from mustard leaf kimchi on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate, egg phosphatidyl choline (EPC) liposome and superoxide anion radical were examined. The extracts were found to inhibit the increase of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and show the effect of antioxidative activity on the liposomal phospholipid membrane. The oxidation index of EPC liposome was markedly decreased in the prescence of the extracts. The antioxidative activity of the extracts from mustard leaf kimchi was not related with fermentation period of the kimchi. The extracts from mustard leaf showed the similar antioxidative activity of $\alpha$-tocopherol within in the given level of addition. However, the oxidation index. When the effect of the extracts from mustard leaf kimchi on free radical scavenging was observed by the determination of the superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, it had similar value to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol.

The branched-chain ${\alpha}$-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKAD) complex is a rate limiting enzyme which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain ${\alpha}$-keto acids. Numerous studies have suggested that BCKAD is subject to covalent modification in vitro via phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, which are catalyzed by a specific kinase and phosphatase, respectively. The biggest difficulty in the assay of BCKAD activity is to arrest the interconversion between the active and inactive forms. BCKAD activity was determined from fresh rat heart and liver tissues using homogenizing and assay buffers containing inhibitors of phosphatase and kinase. The results suggest that a radiochemical assay using ${\alpha}$-keto[1-$^{14}C$]-isovalerate as a substrate for the enzyme can be applied as a reliable method to determine in vitro enzyme activity with arrested interconversion between the active and inactive forms of the BCKAD complex.
