The 6,6-dibromopenam (6) was treated with CH3MgBr and carbaldehyde 5 to afford the hydroxy compound 7, which was reacted with acetic anhydride to give acetoxy compound 8. The deacetobromination of 8 with zinc and acetic acid gave 6-exomethylenepenams, E-isomer 10 and Z-isomer 9, which was oxidized to sulfone 11 by m-CPBA. The p-methoxybenzyl compounds were deprotected by AlCl3 and neutralized to give the sodium salts 12, 13, and 14.

Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of $SF_6$ was tested with varying degrees of ionization and initial concentrations of $SF_6$. The applied dose of ionization energy varied from 0 to 400 kGy. The initial concentration of $SF_6$ gas also varied from 1,000 ppm to 2,500 ppm. In order to assess the effect of a residence time on DRE (Destruction and Removal Efficiency, %), experiments were also conducted at different irradiation times of 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 sec, respectively. The DRE of $SF_6$ increased with an increasing amount of dose and current. Regardless of initial concentration of $SF_6$, 90% level of DRE was achieved by applying over 10 mA of electrical current.

본 연구는 다진 생강에 다량 함유된 6-gingerol을 뇌질환 개선 등의 기능성이 보고된 6-shogaol로 변환시키기 위하여 $CO_2$를 이용한 6.4MPa의 가압조건에서 가열 온도와 시간을 변수로 두고 중심합성설계법을 이용한 최적반응표면분석법을 적용하였다. 적용 온도 $70-130^{\circ}C$ ($X_1$)와 적용 시간 95-265분($X_2$)을 독립변수로, 6-gingerol함량($Y_1$, mg/g dried ginger)와 6-shogaol함량($Y_2$, mg/g dried ginger)을 종속변수로 설정하였다. 그 결과 온도와 시간이 대체적으로 증가할수록 6-gingerol은 감소하였으며 반대로 6-shogaol은 증가하였다. 도출된 반응표면 설계를 분석한 결과 압력이 6.4 MPa일 경우 적용 온도($X_1$)는 $130^{\circ}C$, 적용 시간($X_2$)는 204분이었다. 최적반응표면분석 결과 예측된 6-gingerol과 6-shogaol 함량은 각각 건조시킨 생강을 기준으로 0.13, 3.85 mg/g이며, 이때 만족도는 0.991이었다. 본 실험 결과를 통하여 도출된 가압조건에서의 열처리 방법은 스팀 등을 이용한 물리적 열처리 기술에 비해 소요 시간과 소모되는 에너지를 줄일 수 있었고, 6-gingerol에서 6-shogaol로의 변환율이 탁월하기 때문에 친환경적이고 효율적인 6-shogaol을 얻을 수 있는 기술임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, insulations characteristics by temperature changes(+30~-40[$^{\circ}C$]) of $SF_6$ gas in the experimental chamber were studied. From this result, The breakdown characteristics classify the gas & liquid coexisted stage of voltage value increases & much deviation and the $V_B$ low stage as the interior of chamber gets filled with mixture of $SF_6$ that are not liquefacted and remain ing air which couldn't be ventilated. In addition the ability of insulation of liquid $SF_6$ was higher than that of the highly pressurized $SF_6$ gas. In this research, we want to provide the base data on designing insulation of high-temperature superconductor and the cryogenic equipments by investigating the insulation characteristics of $SF_6$.

Glycans released from ovalbumin by PNGase F were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry using three different dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) matrix systems: 2,5-DHB, 2,6-DHB, and a 2,5-DHB/2,6-DHB binary matrix. Relative to the results obtained with the single-component matrices (2,5-DHB or 2,6-DHB), the 2,5-DHB/2,6-DHB binary matrix boasted lower background noise and higher sensitivity. A total of 16 glycan peaks were observed using the 2,5-DHB/2,6-DHB binary matrix, while only 10 and 9 glycan peaks were observed using the 2,5-DHB and 2,6-DHB matrices, respectively.

The prevalence of allergic disease has been increasing over the past few decades in the majority of Western industrialized nations. There are some socioeconomic disparities regarding allergic disease status and management. Pyeongwee-San (KMP6) is Korean medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal tract disease. It is known that KMP6 has an improving effect on the spleen and stomach functions in traditional Korean medical theory. Here, we hypothesized that KMP6 could be used to regulate the inflammatory reaction. We show the molecular mechanisms of Pyeongwee-San (KMP6) on inflammatory reactions. A molecular docking simulation showed that hesperidin, component of KMP6, regulate the enzymatic activity by interaction in the active site of caspase-1. KMP6 control the activity of caspase-1 in activated human mast cell line (HMC-1 cells). KMP6 reduced the expression of receptor interacting protein (RIP)-2 in HMC-1 cells. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin protein production and mRNA expression were inhibited by KMP6. In the activated HMC-1 cells, KMP6 suppressed the activation of mitogen-ativated protein kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB. In addition, KMP6 significantly inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Our findings indicate that KMP6 may attenuate allergic reactions via the regulation of caspase-1/RIP-2 signaling pathway. These studies will help advance the social welfare system.

The aac(6')-Ib gene is the most prevalent gene that encodes aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and confers resistance to tobramycin, kanamycin, and amikacin. The aac(6')-Ib-cr variant gene can induce resistance against aminoglycoside and fluoroquinolone simultaneously. Two main methods, sequence analysis and the restriction enzyme method, can detect the aac(6')-Ib-cr variant in clinical strains. We collected the 85 strains that were believed to be aac(6')-Ib positive from clinical isolates. Among them, 38 strains were the wild-type; the remaining 47 strains were the aac(6')-Ib-cr variant. Of these 47 strains, 19 simultaneously harbored aac(6')-Ib and aac(6')-Ib-cr. Our study aims to report the characteristics of the 19 strains that simultaneously harbored both genes. This study is the first investigation published in Korea of strains that included both aac(6')-Ib and aac(6')-Ib-cr variant.

본 논문은 IFN-$\gamma$ 및 LPS로 유도된 생쥐 복막 대식 세포에서 염증 반응에 대한 KMU-4, 6, 7 검색에 관한 것으로, 주요 내용은 다양한 질병 치료에 사용되는 생약에서 추출한 한국 해양 식물 (KMU-4, 6, 7)에 대한 연구를 중심으로 한다. 이 논문에서는 쥐 복막 대식 세포를 이용하여, KMU-4, 6, 7가 IFN-$\gamma$ 및LPS로 유도된 산화질소, COX-2 발현, 세포 생존력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. KMU-6는 IFN-$\gamma$ 및 LPS로 유도된 산화질소를 억제하고 COX-2 발현에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이는 KMU-6가 대식 세포 매개 염증성 질환 조절에 사용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 위 결과로부터 KMU-6는 LPS로 자극한 쥐 복막 대식세포에서 COX-2 발현을 억제시켜 산화질소 생성을 억제하는 효과가 있다는 내용이다.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer. Although prostate tumors respond to androgen ablation therapy at an early stage, they often acquire the potential of androgen-independent growth. Elevated transcriptional activity of androgen receptor (AR) and/or signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) contributes to the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. In the present study, we examined the effect of resveratrol, a phytoalexin present in grapes, on the reporter gene activity of AR and STAT3 in human prostate cancer (LNCaP-FGC) cells stimulated with interleukin-6 (IL-6) and/or dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Our study revealed that resveratrol suppressed the growth of LNCaP-FGC cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Whereas the AR transcriptional activity was induced by treatment with either IL-6 or DHT, the STAT3 transcriptional activity was induced only by treatment with IL-6 but not with DHT. Resveratrol significantly attenuated IL-6-induced STAT3 transcriptional activity, and DHT- or IL-6-induced AR transcriptional activity. Treatment of cells with DHT plus IL-6 significantly increased the AR transcriptional activity as compared to DHT or IL-6 treatment alone and resveratrol markedly diminished DHT plus IL-6-induced AR transcriptional activity. Furthermore, the production of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was decreased by resveratrol in the DHT-, IL-6- or DHT plus IL-6-treated LNCaP-FGC cells. Taken together, the inhibitory effects of resveratrol on IL-6- and/or DHT-induced AR transcriptional activity in LNCaP prostate cancer cells are partly mediated through the suppression of STAT3 reporter gene activity, suggesting that resveratrol may be a promising therapeutic choice for the treatment of prostate cancer.
