The microsomal fraction is isolated from rabbit heart and skeletal muscle. The fraction is found to contain the $Na^+$-and $K^+$-activated ATPase. The maximal ATPase activity is obtained in $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentration of 100 mM. Calcium itself stimulates the $Na^+$-and $K^+$-activated portion of ATPase in the presence of $Mg^{++}$. However, calcium does not stimulate ATPase in the absence of $Mg^{++}$.

Behavior of micro stickies was analyzed using model micro stickies prepared with PVAc emulsion adhesive. Flocculation of micro stickies increased with temperature. Acidic state also induced greater flocculation of micro stickies since they became more unstable under these conditions. Flocculation of micro stickies increased as calcium ion concentration increased. But the presence of calcium carbonates made micro stickies dispersed indicating that calcium carbonates cause two different effects on the behavior of micro stickies. Talc increased flocculation of micro stickies because of its hydrophobic nature. Cationic polymer increased flocculation of micro stickies. Especially cationic starch has far greater effect in flocculating sticky particles by forming bridging flocculations.

The content of Ca in milk exceeds the typical saturation level of Ca salts, which is necessary for neonate growth. This calcium is distributed between the casein micelles in the colloidal and aqueous phases. Information on the properties of calcium activity in the aqueous phase is limited compared with that on the properties of bound or sequestrated calcium. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the changes in calcium activity in fresh milk using an ion-selective electrode and to assess the relationship between calcium activity and milk production in hot season. Milk samples collected from 10 cows at the National Agricultural Research Center for Kyushu Okinawa Region in June to October (Min-Max: 7.2-$35.2^{\circ}C$, 24.3-100% RH) were analyzed on total calcium concentrations and calcium activity. We observed that the rectal temperature of the cows increased according to elevation of ambient temperature but that the pH of the collected milk ($6.61{\pm}0.01$ (Mean${\pm}$SEM)) was not significantly influenced by rectal and ambient temperature. Total calcium concentrations and calcium activity in fresh milk decreased in July (Min-Max: 21.1-$33.5^{\circ}C$, 48.9-100.0% RH) compared with the values after August (Min-Max: 18.1-$35.0^{\circ}C$, 26.5-96.2% RH) (p<0.05); however, there was no significant correlation between the two parameters. The ratio of calcium activity to total calcium concentration decreased after August compared with the values in June and July (p<0.05). The calcium activity in fresh milk was positively correlated with milk yield (r = 0.45, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with milk lactose content (r = -0.53, p<0.01). These results suggest that the calcium activity in milk could be affected by ambient temperature and might be associated with milking production in hot season.

반응온도 $75^{\circ}C$에서 $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry 및 NaOH의 혼합용액에 $Na_2CO_3$ 수용액의 농도 및 첨가방법을 변화시키면서 아라고나이트 침강성 탄산칼슘의 생성거동을 관찰하였다. 이 반응에서 $Na^+$ 이온은 탄산칼슘 격자내의 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온 자리에 치환되어 칼사이트의 성장을 지연시키고, 특정방향으로의 결정성장이 진행되어 침상형 아라고나이트의 생성을 유리하게 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, $CO_3^{2-}$ 이온농도 조절에 의한 반응속도의 감소는 균일침전반응을 유도하고, $Na^+$ 이온의 치환능력을 증대시켜 아라고나이트의 생성 및 성장을 촉진하는 것으로 판단되었다.

Three hundred and twelve female Tsaiya ducks from four lines (L1051, L1052, L1053 and L1054) were used in this study to investigate the changes in plasma calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels, blood pH, carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO$_{2}$), bicarbonate ion concentration ($HCO_{3}^{-}$), and base excess (BE) during laying periods. The results indicated that plasma calcium and inorganic phosphorus concentration at 40 and 50 wks of age were higher (p<0.05) than those at other ages. Significant positive correlation coefficients were found between plasma calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels at each age tested from 20 to 50 wks. Ducks from L1053 showed lower (p<0.05) blood pH, BE and $HCO_{3}^{-}$ as compared with other lines. Ducks from L1054 had higher (p<0.05) blood pH, BE and $HCO_{3}^{-}$ than those of other lines showing that there were some differences on blood parameters among lines. Eggshell strength decreased with age up to 65 wks and remained constant thereafter. Egg weight increased gradually from 30 to 60 wks and decreased slightly after 70 wks of age. Plasma inorganic phosphorus level in 40 and 50 wks old birds was positively correlated with eggshell strength, while blood $HCO_{3}^{-}$ in 40 and 50 wks old birds was negatively correlated with eggshell strength.

In the present study, we examined effects of ginseng saponins (ginsenosides) on pp60c-src protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, intracellular calcium concentration ([$Ca^{2+}$]i), and cell proliferation in NIH3T3 cells. Eight different ginsenosides [ginsenoside-Rb1 (G-$Rb_1$), -$Rb_2$, -Rc, -Rd, -Re, -Rf, -$Rg_1$, -$Rg_2$) and ginseng total saponin (GTS) were used for these experiments. All ginsenosides and GTS tested stimulated the activation of $pp60^{c-src}$ kinase, and especially G-$Rb_1$,-Rd,-$Rg_1$, and -$Rg_1$ showed a higher stimulatory effect than others at 16.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of ginsenosides with a 18 hr-incubation, increasing the activity by 4.5, 3.5, 3.5, and 3.0-fold, respectively, over that of untreated control. In addition, both G-Rd and -$Rg_2$)Rg2 increased ($Ca^{2+}$), to 202 and 334 nM, respectively, about 2-3-fold above the basal level within 7min at 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/yml of ginsenosides. The increases of ($Ca^{2+}$), were eliminated by Pretreatment of EGTA, an extracellular calcium chelator, suggtasting that they result from an influx of calcium ion from extracellular medium rather than an efflux from intracellular calcium store, endoplasmic reticulum (ER). All ginsenosides studied enhanced cell proliferation to 1.2-1.4-fold over that of untreated control at 5~250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of concentrations. Interestingly the promotion of cell proliferation by ginsenosides corresponded with the activation of c-src kinase, which is an early step in the mitogenic signaling cascade. Taken together, we suggest that some ginsenosides may lead to cellProliferation via the activation of cellular signal transduction Pathway involving $pp60^{c-src}$ kinase.

산성비가 대리석 문화재에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 1996년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지 원각사지 10층 석탑과 암질이 유사한 대리석 시편을 제작하여서 탑골공원과 광화문에서 옥외노출하여 직접 산성비를 맞게 한 경우와 광화문의 석탑보호시설내 산성비를 맞지 않는 경우를 비교하여서 부식감량을 조사하였다. 탑골공원과 광화문의 시편은 부식감량이 비슷하게 나타났으며, 또 비를 맞지 않는 실내에서 보다 7.7배 정도로 높게 나타났다. 또한 대리석 용해에 영향을 주는 산성비 특성을 연구하기 위하여 1~8 mm 강우에 대하여 이온성분 및 칼슘이온의 변화를 조사한 결과 1 mm 강우에 40% 이상 이온성분 농도, 특히 음이온 농도가 높았으며 칼슘 이온은 초기 1 mm 강우시 약 30% 이상 용출되었다. 이 결과는 초기 강우시에는 $SO_2$, $NO_2$등이 빗물에 녹아서 질산 이온, 황산 이온의 형태로 존재하게 되어 음이온 농도가 높게 된 것으로 판단된다. 대리석, 사암, 석회암으로 된 문화재나 미술품은 산성비 영향을 받을 수 있는 것으로 예상되어 향후 구체적 조사를 통하여 현장여건에 알맞는 문화재 보존대책 수립이 필요하다.

속도론적인 관점에서 실험변수를 조절하여 얻어진 결과로부터 침강성 탄산칼슘(precipitated calcium carbonate, PCC)의 생성을 핵생성속도로 규명하였다. 반응온도 $80^{\circ}C$에서 $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry, $Na_2CO_3$ 수용액 및 다양한 농도의 NaOH를 첨가하여 침강성 탄산칼슘의 생성거동을 관찰하였다. 핵생성속도는 주 반응물인 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온과 $CO{_3}^{2-}$ 용해속도를 조건으로 나누어 진행하였다. 두 이온의 농도가 고농도일경우에는 vaterite와 calcite가 혼재되어 나타났다. $Ca^{2+}$ 이온과 $CO{_3}^{2-}$ 이온농도 중 어느 하나만을 낮게 하여 반응시킨 경우에는 주로 calcite가 생성되었으며 두 이온농도가 모두 낮을 경우에는 aragonite가 형성되었다. 또한 NaOH 농도를 증가시킴에 따라 calcite의 생성은 감소하였으며 5M NaOH 수용액 내에서 단일상의 aragonite를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과포화도 조절을 통해 다형체(polymorphs) 중 특정 형태를 합성할 수 있었다.

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a major mode of extracellular calcium entry, plays roles in a variety of cell activities. Accumulating evidence indicates that the intracellular calcium ion concentration and calcium signaling are critical for the responses induced by oxidative stress. The present study was designed to investigate the potential effect of SOCE inhibition on $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are the predominant cells involved in endothelial repair. The results showed that $H_2O_2$-induced EPC apoptosis was reversed by SOCE inhibition induced either using the SOCE antagonist ML-9 or via silencing of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a component of SOCE. Furthermore, SOCE inhibition repressed the increases in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ameliorated the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by $H_2O_2$. Our findings provide evidence that SOCE inhibition exerts a protective effect on EPCs in response to oxidative stress induced by $H_2O_2$ and may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy against vascular endothelial injury.

칼슘이온의 농도가 Arabidopsis thaliana의 원형질체배양에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 Arabidopsis thaliana의 원형질체를 분리하여 서로 다른 농도의 CaCl$_2$를 첨가한 IMH 배지에서 배양하면서 나타나는 현상을 관찰하였다. 대조군과 12.5 mM 이하의 농도에서는 배양세포들이 심하게 액포화되었으며 세포분열은 관찰되지 않았다. 0-50 mM 범위의 농도에서는 농도의 증가와 비례하여 세포의 액포화가 적었으며 이에 반하여 plasma rich cell의 비율은 높아졌다. 세포분열의 유도는 25 mM 이상의 농도에서 관찰되었고 50mM에서 가장 높은 평판효율(5-6%)을 나타내었다. 그러나 100 mM 이상의 농도에서는 뚜렷한 저해효과를 나타내었다. 칼슘이온의 투여 시기가 세포분열과 콜로니 형성과정에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 서로 다른 농도의 칼슘이온을 각각 원형질체 분리용액과 배양액에 투여하고 배양한 결과, 투여 시기에 따른 영향은 콜로니의 형성과정에 다소 차이를 보였다. 이처럼 높은 칼슘 농도가 원형질체 배양시 요구되는 것은 원형질체가 배지로부터 생장조절물질을 흡수하여 재분화하는 과정에서 칼슘이온이 중요한 조절작용을 하기 때문인 것으로 추측된다.
