국수 조리시 조직감 향상을 위해 소금, 기름과 설탕을 각각 1%의 농도로 삶는 물에 첨가한 후 조리 특성과 조직감을 측정한 결과, 1%의 소금을 첨가하여 국수를 삶은 경우 83 g의 무게를 보였으며, 삶은 후의 부피 또한 72 $m\ell$로 낮은 함수율을 보였으며, 조직감 역시 우수하였다. 염의 종류를 각각 달리하여 첨가한 경우 NaCl, CaCl,, MgSO$_4$간의 조리 특성은 큰 차이가 없었으며, 염의 종류에 따른 조직감의 유의적 차이는 없었으나, NaCl를 첨가한 경우 다른 염을 첨가한 경우에 비해 다소 우수한 조직감을 보였다. NaCl 첨가농도를 달리하여 조리특성과 조직감을 비교한 결과, 조리 후 무게와 부피의 증가가 NaCl 첨가 농도가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 염의 농도가 증가할수록 이들의 조직감이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 이들 염의 농도에 따른 유의적 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 염을 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 5%의 염을 첨가한 경우에는 이들 조직감에 유의적 차이를 보였다.

A short time microwave heat treatment, bringing in hot NaCl solution, addition of KCI, CaCl2, MgCl2 into brining solution and salts mixture of phosphates into half fermented dongchim were investigated for their effects on some quality of dongchimi, a Korean pickle of Chinese radish roots, during fermentation. The reference dongchimi was prepared by brining the radish roots in 7% NaCl added with seasonings at $25^{\circ}C$. The result showed that microwave heat treatment affected little on the pH or total acidity change during fermentation. Soaking the roots in 80-9$0^{\circ}C$ hot salt solution significantly reduced the fermentation and softening rate of dongchimi while a rather rapid fementation was found for those soaked in 7$0^{\circ}C$. Addition of KCI and CaCl2 into brining solution slowed the pH decrease and softening of the roots, respectively. The dangchimi added with the salts mixture of phosphate, citrate and nitrite was significantly extreneded the fermentation time to pH 4.0 by more than two folds.

Alkaline Sizing behavior and mechanism of handsheets, which were prepared from thermomechanical pulp (TMP) with alkylketene dimer (AKD), were studied in terms of the conditions of the handsheet-making. AKD content in the TMP handsheets was increased with increasing of AKD addition level and the addition of a polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin resin (PAE) clearly enhanced AKD retention as well as the resultant sizing performance of TMP handsheets. Although drying of the AKD sized TMP webs at $20^{\circ}C$ led to no or quite low sizing level, but TMP handsheets sized with AKD had higher sizing degrees with increasing of the temperature of heat treatment. Scanning electron microscopic observations of the AKD-sized TMP handsheets showed that AKD emulsion particles were present on pulp fiber surfaces independently without coagulation in the TMP handsheets dried at $20^{\circ}C$. Heat treatment of the AKD-sized handsheets resulted in disappearance of the AKD emulsion particles because of their melting and spreading. The addition of calcium carbonate filler to the TMP suspensions did not influence on AKD content in the TMP handsheets. Nevertheless, their sizing degrees clearly increased by the addition of $CaCO_3$filler. Probably, AKD molecules adsorbed on the $CaCO_3$filler particles contribute to the enhancement of sizing performance. Thus, AKD can give sizing features effectively to the TMP handsheets, when they are made under suitable conditions.

Human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) have various voltage-dependent $K^+$ channels (VDKCs) that can induce apoptosis. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) modulates VDKCs and induces oxidative stress, which is the main contributor to cardiac injury and cardiac remodeling. We investigated whether $H_2O_2$ could modulate VDKCs in HCFs and induce cell injury through this process. In whole-cell mode patch-clamp recordings, application of $H_2O_2$ stimulated $Ca^{2+}-activated$ $K^+$ ($K_{Ca}$) currents but not delayed rectifier $K^+$ or transient outward $K^+$ currents, all of which are VDKCs. $H_2O_2-stimulated$ $K_{Ca}$ currents were blocked by iberiotoxin (IbTX, a large conductance $K_{Ca}$ blocker). The $H_2O_2-stimulating$ effect on large-conductance $K_{Ca}$ ($BK_{Ca}$) currents was also blocked by KT5823 (a protein kinase G inhibitor) and 1 H-[1, 2, 4] oxadiazolo-[4, 3-a] quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, a soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor). In addition, 8-bromo-cyclic guanosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) stimulated $BK_{Ca}$ currents. In contrast, KT5720 and H-89 (protein kinase A inhibitors) did not block the $H_2O_2-stimulating$ effect on $BK_{Ca}$ currents. Using RT-PCR and western blot analysis, three subtypes of $K_{Ca}$ channels were detected in HCFs: $BK_{Ca}$ channels, small-conductance $K_{Ca}$ ($SK_{Ca}$) channels, and intermediate-conductance $K_{Ca}$ ($IK_{Ca}$) channels. In the annexin V/propidium iodide assay, apoptotic changes in HCFs increased in response to $H_2O_2$, but IbTX decreased $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis. These data suggest that among the VDKCs of HCFs, $H_2O_2$ only enhances $BK_{Ca}$ currents through the protein kinase G pathway but not the protein kinase A pathway, and is involved in cell injury through $BK_{Ca}$ channels.

토끼 흉부 대동맥을 이용하여 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완에 대한 세포외 $Ca^{2+}$과 여러가지 $Ca^{2+}$ 길항제의 효과를 분석하여 EDRF의 작용기전을 밝혀 보고자 하였다. 대동맥 횡단 절편의 등장성 수축은 $10^{-7}\;M$ 노에피네프린으로 유발시켰으며, $10^{-6}\;M$ 사세틸콜린으로 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완을 일으켰다. 내피세포는 작은 솜뭉치로 부드럽게 문질러서 제거하였으며, hemolysate를 사용하여 EDRF에 대한 헤모글로빈의 효과를 관찰하였다. 결과를 종합하면 다음과 같다. 1) 아세틸콜린에 의한 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완은 두 시기, 즉 초기급속이완기와 후기완만이완기로 나타났다. 2) 세포외 $Ca^{2+}$을 낮추면, 아세틸콜린에 의한 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완이 감소하였으며, 특히 후기완만이완기가 감소하였다. 3) Verapamil, nifedipine, $Mn^{2+}$ 및 $Cd^{2+}$은 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완에 영향이 없었던 반면 $La^{3+}$와 $Co^{2+}$는 억제시켰다. 4) 헤모글로빈을 투여하면 내피세포가 없는 절편에서는 기초긴장도의 변화가 없었으나 내피세포가 있는 절편에서는 기초긴장도가 증가하였고 아세틸콜린에 의한 내피세포 의존성 혈관이완도 완전히 억제되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 세포외 $Ca^{2+}$은 주로 후기완만이완기에 작용하며 이때 사용되는 $Ca^{2+}$ 유입 통로는 $Ca^{2+}$ 길항제로 억제되지 않는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.

The calcium-activated $K^+$ ($BK_{Ca}$) channel is one of the potassium-selective ion channels that are present in the nervous and vascular systems. $Ca^{2+}$ is the main regulator of $BK_{Ca}$ channel activation. The $BK_{Ca}$ channel contains two high affinity $Ca^{2+}$ binding sites, namely, regulators of $K^+$ conductance, RCK1 and the $Ca^{2+}$ bowl. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1-radyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) is one of the neurolipids. LPA affects diverse cellular functions on many cell types through G protein-coupled LPA receptor subtypes. The activation of LPA receptors induces transient elevation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ levels through diverse G proteins such as $G{\alpha}_{q/11}$, $G{\alpha}_i$, $G{\alpha}_{12/13}$, and $G{\alpha}s$ and the related signal transduction pathway. In the present study, we examined LPA effects on $BK_{Ca}$ channel activity expressed in Xenopus oocytes, which are known to endogenously express the LPA receptor. Treatment with LPA induced a large outward current in a reversible and concentration-dependent manner. However, repeated treatment with LPA induced a rapid desensitization, and the LPA receptor antagonist Ki16425 blocked LPA action. LPA-mediated $BK_{Ca}$ channel activation was also attenuated by the PLC inhibitor U-73122, $IP_3$ inhibitor 2-APB, $Ca^{2+}$ chelator BAPTA, or PKC inhibitor calphostin. In addition, mutations in RCK1 and RCK2 also attenuated LPA-mediated $BK_{Ca}$ channel activation. The present study indicates that LPA-mediated activation of the $BK_{Ca}$ channel is achieved through the PLC, $IP_3$, $Ca^{2+}$, and PKC pathway and that LPA-mediated activation of the $BK_{Ca}$ channel could be one of the biological effects of LPA in the nervous and vascular systems.

In this study, in order to develop the capacitor composition ceramics with the good dielectric properties, $(Ba_{0.86}Ca_{0.14})(Ti_{0.85}Zr_{0.12}Sn_{0.03})O_3+xCuO$ (x= 0.006~0.010) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The effects of CuO addition on the microstructure and dielectric properties was investigated. All specimens indicated rhombohedral phase without any secondary phase. As CuO addition increased, the variation width of TCC was increased at more than $40^{\circ}C$. Also, the specimen with x=0.007 sintered at $1,250^{\circ}C$ showed the high dielectric constant of 9,632 in spite of low temperature sintering temperature.

Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum Linn) is one of the most widely grown plants in Indonesia. In addition, nyamplung oil has a future competitive advantage in that it can be processed into biodiesel. However, conventional methods for transesterification of nyamplung oil have been less effective. Therefore, in this study biodiesel was produced using microwaves as one of the alternative methods that can improve the shortcomings of conventional methods. In addition, optimization of parameters such as microwave power, catalyst concentration and transesterification time was done using Box-Behnken design. The combination of microwave with CaO catalyst and treated with Box-Behnken design are considered as a new and modern method for production of biodiesel from nyamplung oil and optimizing the factors that affected the transesterification process. The results showed that factors such as microwave power of 449.29 W, concentration of catalyst of 4.86% and transesterification time of 10.07 min can produce optimal yield of biodiesel of 92.73% with reliability of 93.22%.

The present study was aimed at elucidating the mode of inhibitory action of tricyclic antidepressants on the smooth muscle. Effects of amitriptyline on the isolated detrusor muscle strips of the urinary bladder of the rabbit were examined. The spontaneous rhythmic movement of the muscle preparation was frequently observed, which was decreased or abolished by addition of amitriptyline $(10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-3}\;M)$. The muscle preparation responded with contraction dose dependently to carbachol, of which dose response curve shifted to the right in the presence of either amitriptyline or atropine. However, amitriptyline produced a nonparallel shift, whereas atropine caused a parallel one. In calcium free medium, the contraction response to carbachol was markedly decreased, which was resumed by the addition of $CaCl_2$ (2.5mM), but not in the presence of either amitriptyline or nifedipine. KCI (60 mM) produced a potent contraction, which was abolished in the presence of amitriptyline or nifedipine. These results suggest that amitriptyline, unlike atropine, not only acts as a noncompetitive antagonist at cholinergic muscarine receptors but also inhibits Ca-influx through the muscle cell membrane.
