Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are glycolipids and have several pharmacological efficacies. MELs also show skin-moisturizing efficacy through a yet-unknown underlying mechanism. Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a membrane protein that contributes to the water homeostasis of the epidermis, and decreased AQP3 expression following ultraviolet (UV)-irradiation of the skin is associated with reduced skin moisture. No previous study has examined whether the skin-moisturizing effect of MELs might act through the modulation of AQP3 expression. Here, we report for the first time that MELs ameliorate the UVA-induced downregulation of AQP3 in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT keratinocytes). Our results revealed that UVA irradiation decreases AQP3 expression at the protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels, but that MEL treatment significantly ameliorated these effects. Our mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor analysis revealed that phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase or p38, mediates UVA-induced AQP3 downregulation, and that MEL treatment significantly suppressed the UVA-induced phosphorylation of JNK. To explore a possible mechanism, we tested whether MELs could regulate the expression of peroxidase proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR-{\gamma}$), which acts as a potent transcription factor for AQP3 expression. Interestingly, UVA irradiation significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of $PPAR-{\gamma}$ in HaCaT keratinocytes, whereas a JNK inhibitor and MELs significantly rescued this effect. Taken together, these findings suggest that MELs ameliorate UVA-induced AQP3 downregulation in HaCaT keratinocytes by suppressing JNK activation to block the decrease of $PPAR-{\gamma}$. Collectively, our findings suggest that MELs can be used as a potential ingredient that modulates AQP3 expression to improve skin moisturization following UVA irradiation-induced damage.

충북대학교 천문우주학과의 UBVRI 측광기가 부착된 20 cm 망원경을 이용하여 1988년 12월부터 1991년 3월 사이의 33일밤 동안 Algol을 광전측광 관측하여 총 3465점의 관측값을 얻었다. 이 관측값을 이용하여 UBVRI 광도곡선을 만들었고 5개의 극심시각 JDHel 2447898.0938, JDHel 2447908.1014, JDHel 2448265.1205, JDHel 2448288.0598, JDHel 2448275.146 을 결정하였다. 우리가 얻은 UBVRI 광도곡선을 동시에 Wilson-Devinney 방법으로 분석하여 측광학적 해를 구했다. 이 해로 부터 얻은 i= $82.{\circ}47$, q=0.227, $r_1$=0.2102, $r_2$=0.2512와 Hill et al.(1971)의 분광학적 해의 인수들을 이용하여 Algol A,B,C, 각각에 대한 질량에 반경을 $m_1$=3.36, $m_2$=0.76, $m_3$=1.6, $R_1$=2.97, $R_2$=0.76과 같이 구했다. 여기서 사용한 단위는 태양질량 단위와 태양반경 단위이다. 이러한 우리의 결과들은 Kim(1989)이 보고한 값들과 대체로 비슷하다. 우리의 해로 부터 은 5색의 $l_1$, $l_2$, $l_3$ 값들을 Planck 곡선에 fitting 시키는 방법에 의해 Algol C의 온도를 $T_3$=8800로, 그리고 $R_3$=$1.6R_\odot$을 유도했다. Algol A와 B의 배치 형태가 준접촉형인 것은 case B 질량 이동에 의해 생긴 결과로 믿어지며, 질량-반경동에 나타난 이들의 위치에 의하면 Algol B는 수소연소 단계에서도 상당히 진화된 상태에 있는 것으로 추정된다.로 추정된다.

Field hulling of high-moisture paddy followed by brown rice drying offers many advantages over the present paddy harvesting and drying offers many advantages over the present paddy harvesting and drying system. We did a preliminary study of the parameters for efficient hulling of high-moisture paddy using the IRRI Centrifugal Huller and two India rice varieties. Hulling capacity , hulling efficiency , brown rice recovery and percent whole bown rice were generally best at the impeller peripheral speed of 44m/s. A second pass through the huller increased hulling capacity , brown rice revery and hulling efficiency, but reduced percent whole brown rice. To solve this , we recommed separation of paddy after hulling and aspiration such that only unhulled and partially -hulled grains will be fed back to the huller. Paddy at even 23% m.c. could be effectively hulled by the impeller-type huller , but the results were generally better at 14 to 17% m.c. Only in percent whole brown rice did the 17 to 23% m.c. range performed better than that of 14% m.c. Difference invarietal response to hulling was observed.

Radioisotope renography was carried out in 564 cases consisting of 150 normal controls, 140 hypertensives, 102 hypertensive nephropathys, 62 chronic renal diseases, non-functioning kidneys. It was aimed to study which parameter of the renogram is most applicable to any definite disease of the kidney. The analytical methods adopted were; Tobe, Spencer, Krueger, Matchida and Takeuchi. In the non-functioning kidney groups, the hemograms and serum nitrogen series were also studied to evaluate the relationships between the renograms and renal anemia. The parameters were; time of maximum amplitude (Tmax), half-time of maximum amplitude ($T\frac{1}{2}$), Kac value calculated from these two parameters in Tobe's method, slopes of Band C phase, B/A and B/C values in Spencer's method, total concentration (T.C.), minute concentration (M.C.) and minute excretion (M.E.) in Krueger's method, Matchida's K value and Takeuchi's renal function Index (R.F.I.). Following were the results: 1. In general, marked differences in the patterns of the renogram were observed between the normal controls and nephropathys. In Tobe's method, each parameter showed statistically significant delay or decrease in patients with hypertensive nephropathys and chronic renal diseases. In Spencer's method, slopes of B and C phase and B/C, also showed the statistically significant decrease in patients with hypertension, hypertensive nephropathys and chronic renal diseases. In Krueger's method, M.C. and ME showed the statistically significant differences between the control and patients with hypertension, hypertensive nephropathys and chronic renal diseases, In Matchida's method, K value showed the statistically significant differences between the control and patients with hypertensive nephropathys and chronic renal diseases. 2. It appeared, therefore, that Tobe's $T\frac{1}{2}$, Kac value, Spencer's slopes of Band C phase, B/A, B/C values, Krueger's T.C., M.C., and M.E. values, Matchida's K value are useful for the differentiation of various renal diseases, however, qualitative analysis of the renogram with one or two parameters is not accurate. 3. In bilateral non-functioning kidney groups, a positive correlation between anemia and nitrogen retention was observed, although the quantitative assessment of the degree of non-functioning was impossible.

T sergenti cDNA library were constructed to get a more broad information about the structural, functional or antigenic properties of the proteins, and analyzes for their partial cDNA sequences and expression sequences tags(ESTg). The mRNA were purified from T sergenti isolates to identify the information of antigen gene, then first and second strand cDNA was synthesized. EcoR I adaptor ligation and Xho I enzyme restriction were used to the synthesized cDNA, and ligated into a Uni-ZAP XR vector. T sergenti cDNA library was constructed with packaging and amplification in vitro. Antibody screening was performed with constructed T sergenti cDNA library using antisera against T sergenti. Among those clones, eight phagemids were rescued from the recombinant in vivo excision with f1 helper phage. Using the analysis of endonuclease restriction and PCR, the recombinant cDNA were proved having a 0.5-3.0kb of inserts. The eight of partial cDNA clones' sequences were obtained and examined for their homology using BLASTN and BLASTX. The eight of sequenced clones were classified into three groups according to the basis of database searches. A total 3,045bp of partial cDNA sequence were determined from six clones. The putatively identified clones contain a cytochrome c gene, a heat shock protein gene, a cyclophilin gene, and a ribosomal protein gene. The unidentified clones have a homology to ATP-binding protein(mtrA) gene of S argillaceus, DNA-binding protein(DBP) gene of Pseudorabies virus 85kDa merozoite protein gene of B bovis, mRNA spm1 protein of T annulata and glycine-rich RNA-binding protein mRNA of O sativa etc.

The $m{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A is said to be of Boolean rank r if there exist $m{\times}r$ Boolean matrix B and $r{\times}n$ Boolean matrix C such that A = BC and r is the smallest positive integer that such a factorization exists. We consider the the sets of matrix ordered pairs which satisfy extremal properties with respect to Boolean rank inequalities of matrices over nonbinary Boolean algebra. We characterize linear operators that preserve these sets of matrix ordered pairs as the form of $T(X)=PXP^T$ with some permutation matrix P.

We will show that let X and Y be M -finite Banach spaces with canonical M-decompositions $X{\cong}{{\prod}^{{\gamma}_{\infty}}_{i=1}}{X^{n_i}}_{i}\;and\;Y{\cong}{{\prod}^{{\bar{\gamma}}_{\infty}}_{j=1}}{\tilde{Y}^{m_j}}_{j}$, respectively and M and N nonzero locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Then I : $C_{0}$(M,X) ${\longrightarrow}\;C_{0}$(N,Y) is an isometrical isomorphism if and only if r = $\bar{r}$ and there are permutation and homeomorphisms and continuous maps such that I = ${I^{-1}}_{N.Y}\;{\circ}I_{w}^{-1}{\circ}({{\prod}^{\gamma}}_{i=1}I_{t_i,u_i}){\circ}I_{M,X}$.
