Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were previously considered to have an anti-inflammatory effect, and Interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) was found to be a pro-inflammatory factor in chondrocytes, but the mechanism underlying ADSCs and $IL-1{\beta}$ is unclear. In this study, we investigate whether P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) signalling, regulated by microRNA 373 (miR-373), was involved in the ADSCs and $IL-1{\beta}$ mediated inflammation in osteoarthritis (OA). Chondrocytes were collected from 20 OA patients and 20 control participants, and ADSCs were collected from patients who had undergone abdominal surgery. The typical surface molecules of ASDCs were detected by flow cytometry. The level of nitric oxide (NO) was determined by Griess reagent. Concentrations of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), matrix metallopeptidase 3 (MMP-3) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of IL-6, MMP-3, miR-373 and P2X7R were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of P2X7R. The typical potential characters of ADSCs were verified. In chondrocytes or OA tissues, the miR-373 expression level was decreased, but the P2X7R expression was increased. $IL-1{\beta}$ stimulation increased the level of inflammatory factors in OA chondrocytes, and ADSCs co-cultured with $IL-1{\beta}$-stimulated chondrocytes decreased the inflammation. OA chondrocytes transfected with the miR-373 inhibitor increased the inflammation level. The miR-373 mimic suppressed the inflammation by targeting P2X7R and regulated its expression, while its effect was reversed by overexpression of P2X7R. $IL-1{\beta}$ induced inflammation in OA chondrocytes, while ADSCs seemed to inhibit the expression of P2X7R that was regulated by miR-373 and involved in the anti-inflammatory process in OA.

Interactions between microbes and epithelial cells in the gastrointestinal tract are closely associated with regulation of intestinal mucosal immune responses. Recent studies have highlighted the modulation of mucosal immunity by microbe-derived molecules such as ATP and short-chain fatty acids. In this study, we undertook to characterize the expression of the ATP-gated $P2X_7$ receptor ($P2X_7R$) on M cells and its role in gastrointestinal mucosal immune regulation because it was poorly characterized in Peyer's patches, although purinergic signaling via $P2X_7R$ and luminal ATP have been considered to play an important role in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we present the first report on the expression of $P2X_7R$ on M cells and characterize the role of $P2X_7R$ in immune enhancement by ATP or LL-37.

High concentrations of ATP induce membrane blebbing. However, the underlying mechanism involved in epithelial cells remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) in membrane blebbing using Par C5 cells. We stimulated the cells with 5 mM of ATP for 1${\sim}$2 hrs and found the characteristics of membrane blebbing, a hallmark of apoptotic cell death. In addition, 500 ${\mu}M$ Bz-ATP, a specific P2X7R agonist, induced membrane blebbing. However, 300 ${\mu}M$ of Ox-ATP, a P2X7R antagonist, inhibited ATP-induced membrane blebbing, suggesting that ATP-induced membrane blebbing is mediated by P2X7R. We found that ATP-induced membrane blebbing was mediated by ROCK I activation and MLC phosphorylation, but not by caspase-3. Five mM of ATP evoked a biphasic $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ response; a transient $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ peak and sustained $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase secondary to ATP-stimulated $Ca^{2+}$ influx. These results suggest that P2X7R plays a role in membrane blebbing of the salivary gland epithelial cells.

이중의 망간 perovskite 블록을 가진 Ruddlesden-Popper 상(R-P phase) $Sr_3Mn_2O_7$ 은 공기중에서 불안정하다. 본 연구에서는 망간 이온 자리에 철 이온을 소량 치환 함으로써 R-P 상을 안정화 시켰으며 이들의 결정구조는 X-선회절 데이터를 이용하여 Rietveld 법으로 정밀화하였다. 안정화에 필요한 Fe 이온의 양은 약 x=0.15로 나타났으며 Fe이온의 양이 증가함에 따라 쉽게 안정화 되었다. 자화율 측정결과 x=0.20 시료는 120K에서 paramgnetic-antiferromagnetic 전이를 나타내었고 이 전이 온도는 치환되는 Fe이온의 양이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

In this study, the characteristics of degradation and mineralization of diazinon using a statistical approach based on Box-Behnken design (BBD, one of response surface method) was investigated in an E-beam process, and also the main factors with diazinon concentration ($X_1$), irradiatin intensity ($X_2$) and pH ($X_3$) which consisted of 3 levels in each factor was set up to determine the effects of factors and optimization. At first, effects of pH and diazinon concentration were investigated to determine the proper range of application on response surface method(RSM). In statistical approach, the regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to evaluate the quantitative comparison of each factors in order to obtain the effects were irradiation intensity>diazinon concentration>pH. The regression model predicted the optimization point using the response optimizer to consider the effects of operation conditions were $Y_1=81.73-5.58X_1+23.69X_2-14.23X{_2}^2+4.22X{_3}^2(R^2=99.7%)$, $Y_2=35.23-3.01X_1+10.79X_2-7.58X_2{^2}(R^2=97.9%)$ and 95.7% of diazinon degradation, 41.8% of TOC reduction at 12.75mg/L and 4.26kGy, respectively. The pH condition was not significantly affects on E-beam process than other advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).

We provide a direct proof of the following theorem of Kalton, Hollenbeck, and Verbitsky [7]: let H be the Hilbert transform and let a, b be real constants. Then for 1 < p < ${\infty}$ the norm of the operator aI + bH from $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ is equal to $$\({\max_{x{\in}{\mathbb{R}}}}{\frac{{\mid}ax-b+(bx+a){\tan}{\frac{\pi}{2p}}{\mid}^p+{\mid}ax-b-(bx+a){\tan}{\frac{\pi}{2p}}{\mid}^p}{{\mid}x+{\tan}{\frac{\pi}{2p}}{\mid}^p+{\mid}x-{\tan}{\frac{\pi}{2p}}{\mid}^p}}\)^{\frac{1}{p}}$$. Our proof avoids passing through the analogous result for the conjugate function on the circle, as in [7], and is given directly on the line. We also provide new approximate extremals for aI + bH in the case p > 2.
