The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of high-carbohydrate (HC) diet, high-protein (HP) diet and high-fat (HF) diet with a normal diet (N) on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) in healthy Korean women. The four isoenergetic test meals consisted as follows: HC (75$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 10$ \% $ from protein and 15$ \% $ from fat), HP (10$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 75$ \% $ from protein and 15$ \% $ from fat) HF (15$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 10$ \% $ from protein and 75$ \% $ from fat) diet and N (65$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 15$ \% $ from protein and 20$ \% $ from fat) diet. Fasting and postprandial thermogenesis were measured after each test meals in eight subjects by indirect calorimetry for 3 hours. Fasting and postprandial serum glucose, insulin and triacylglycerol contents were also measured for 3 hours. DIT were 10.4$\pm$3.2 for HC, 12.7$\pm$0.5 for HP, 6.9$\pm$2.8 for HF and 8.7$\pm$4.8 for N diet as a percentage of the energy load. DIT of HP was greater than HF significantly, but had no differences with HC and N Integrated areas under the curves ($ \delta- $-AUC) of plasma glucose and insulin were significantly higher for HC compared to HP, HF and N diets. $ \delta$-AUC of plasma triacylglycerol was significantly higher for HF compared to the other test meals. In conclusion, intake of protein rich meal stimulates postprandial energy expenditure, but has no relation between DIT and insulin response, body composition.

Mongolian dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum H.) extracted with solvents having different polarities were prepared to investigate protection activity of gastric mucosa. Ethanol extracts were successively reextracted with methylene chloride, and n-butanol. Concentrations of total flavonoids and luteolin in n-butanol extracts were 27.75 and 1.14%, respectively, much higher than those of other solvent extracts. Results of anti-microbial acitivity test against Helicobacter pylori and urease inhibition test revealed n-butanol extract exerted higher inhibition (13.16%) than other solvent extracts. Based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, n-butanol extract showed the highest efficiency of free radical-scavenger activity among the extracts ($SC_{50}\;47{\mu}g/mL$). Erythrocytic photohemolysis tests, for the protection of cell membrane showed that half-life of human erythrocytes was increased by the addition of n-butanol extract $({\tau}_{50}=172min;C=5.0{\mu}g/mL)$. These results indicate n-butanol extract of Mongolian dandelion may be useful as a adjuvant for gastric diseases.

Background: This study aimed to identify antioxidant compounds from the seeds of Dolichos lablab L. by bioassay-guided isolation and recrystallization. Methods and Results: The water layer of D. lablab L. seed extract inhibits intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) expressing the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA), Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase genes, as determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Two compounds were purified from the water layer of the seeds of D. lablab L. using column chromatography and prep-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrospray Ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), their chemical structures were identified as 5-[(2-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indazol-1-yl)carbonyl]-4,5-dihydro-3H-furan-2-one (C₁₄H₁₄N₂O₄) and stachyose. Conclusions: Two active antioxidant compounds were purified from the seed extract of D. lablab L. seed extract and the structures of these compounds were identified as C₁₄H₁₄O₄N₂ and stachyose.

Maynard proved that there exists an effectively computable constant q1 such that if q ≥ q1, then $\frac{{\log}\;q}{\sqrt{q}{\phi}(q)}Li(x){\ll}{\pi}(x;\;q,\;m)<\frac{2}{{\phi}(q)}Li(x)$ for x ≥ q8. In this paper, we will show the following. Let 𝛿1 and 𝛿2 be positive constants with 0 < 𝛿1, 𝛿2 < 1 and 𝛿1 + 𝛿2 > 1. Assume that L ≠ ℚ is a number field. Then there exist effectively computable constants c0 and d1 such that for dL ≥ d1 and x ≥ exp (326n𝛿1L(log dL)1+𝛿2), we have $$\|{\pi}_C(x)-\frac{{\mid}C{\mid}}{{\mid}G{\mid}}Li(x)\|\;{\leq}\;\(1-c_0\frac{1og\;d_L}{d^{7.072}_L}\)\;\frac{{\mid}C{\mid}}{{\mid}G{\mid}}Li(x)$$.

Fenfluramine, an anorectic agent, is widely abused as a diet pill in Korea because it is freely marketed in China without any regulation. The optical isomers of fenfluramine hav e different phamacological actions: d-form is used as an anorectic agent, while l-form as a neuroleptic agent. To investigate the metabolism when racemic fenfluramine was administered orally, the urinary excretion of fenfluramine was studied in rats. The enantiomeric separation of fenfluramine was performed on achiral column by gas chromatography using (S)-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-l-prolyl chloride (TFP) as a derivatizing agent. After administration of 15mg/kg of racemic fenfluramine to rats, d-, l-fenfluramine and its metabolites d- and l norfenfluramine in urine were determined by chromatographic separation of TFP derivatives on DB-1 at retention time of 11.2, 11.8, 8.4 and 8.6 min respectively. Urinary recoveries of d and l-fenfluramine in rat were 0.42-5.9O% and 0.18-1.20% respectively in urine specimens collected during first 24hr. The comparison in the levels of isomers showed that d- fenfluramine were higher than l-form, while d-norfenfluramine were lower than l-form. The ratios between parent compound and metabolite revealed that d-norfenfluramine to d-fenfluramine ranged from 1.0 to 4.4, while the ratio of l-norfenfluramine to l-fenfluramine was 8.2-21.1 indicating that l-fenfluramine is metabolized faster than the d-isomer.

The MeOH extracts obtained from whole plant of Trigonotis peduncularis Benth. were solvent fractionated using EtOAc, n-BuOH and water, successively. The EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions gave four flavonol glycosides through application of silica gel and octadecyl silica gel (ODS) column chromatographies. The chemical structures of the flavonol glycosides were determined by the interpretation of several spectral data including 2D-NMR as $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-{D}-glucopyranoside\;(astragalin,\;1),\;kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-{L}-rhamnopyranosyl\;(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-{D}-glucopyranoside\;(nicotiflorin,\;2),\;quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-{L}-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-{D}-glucopyranoside\;(rutin,\;3),\;quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-{D}-glucopyranoside\;(isoquercitrin,\;4)$. The flavonoids have been first isolated from this plant. Nicotiflorin $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$ showed $68.3{\pm}1.2%$ of the inhibitory effect on hACAT1(human Acyl CoA: cholesterol transferase 1) activity.

The n-channel MOSFETs with gate-$n^{-}$S/D overlapped structure have been fabricated by ITLDD(inverse-T gate lightly doped drain) technology. The gate length(L$_{mask}$) was 0.8$\mu$m. The degradation effects of hot carriers injected into the gate oxide were analyzed in terms of threshold voltage, transconductance and drain current variations. The degradation dependences on the gate voltage and drain voltage were characterized. The devices with higher n-concentration showed higher resistivity against the hot carrier injection. As the results of investigating the lifetime of the device, the lifetime showed longer than 10 years at V$_{d}$ = 5V for the overlapped devices with the implantation of an phosphorus dose of 5$\times$10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ and an energy of 80 keV in the n$^{-}$resion.

We present preliminary results of far-infrared(FIR) study of the supernova remnant(SNR)s in the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Herschel HERITAGE (HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution) data set. HERITAGE provides FIR data covering the entire LMC at 100,160, 250, 350, and 500 um. In order to confirm FIR emission associated with SNRs, we refer to Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey (MCELS) H-alpha & SII data, Spitzer surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) 24um & 70um data, Chandra Supernova Remnants Catalog, and ATCA 4.8GHz continuum images of Dickel et al. (2005). Among 47 SNRs in the LMC, 7 SNRs show associated FIR emission. We present multi-wavelength view of 5 SNRs; DEM L249, N49, N63A, N132D, and the SNR in N4. N49 and N132D show morphological correlation in FIR and X-ray, suggesting that the FIR emission is from dust grains collisionally heated by X-ray emitting plasma. The FIR emission of N63A resembles H-alpha emission, which implies that the FIR line radiation could be dominant. The FIR images of the rest two objects, DEM L249 and SNR in N4, show no correlation to the other-waveband images.

A packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with nitrate containing synthetic wastewater or effluent from a sequencing batch reactor used for nitrification. The C source introduced into the PBR consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced from anaerobic acidogenesis of food wastes. When nitrate loading rates ranged from $0.50\;to\;1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, the PBR exhibited $100{\sim}98.8%\;NO_{3}^{-}-N$ removal efficiencies and nitrite concentrations in the effluent ranged from $0\;to\;0.6\;NO_{2}^{-}-N\;mg/L$. When the PBR was further investigated to determine nitrate removal activity along the bed height using a nitrate loading rate less than $1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, 100% nitrate removal efficiency was observed. Approximately 83.2% nitrate removal efficiency was observed in the lower 50% of the packed-bed height. When reactor performance at a C/N ratio of 4 and a C/N ratio of 5 was compared, the PBR showed better removal efficiency (96.5%) of nitrate and less nitrite concentration in the effluent at the C/N ratio of 5. VFAs were found to be a good alternative to methanol as a carbon source for denitrification of a municipal wastewater containing 40 mg-N/L.
