Background: There are increasing neuro-degenerative disorders with aging. Paeoniae Radix(PR) possesses various pharmacological effects such as sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and neuro-protective actions. Also antiaging and anti-cancer effects of PR were reported. Our purpose was to investigate whether PR is useful on the treatment of Parkinson's disease, one of the neuro-degenerative disorders. Objective: We investigated whether Paeonia Radix possesses a protective effect against 1-methyl-4 phenylpyridine(MPP+)-induced cytotoxicity in neuronal cells. Methods: 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), and Western blotting were performed on SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells. Results: Cells treated with MPP+ exhibited several apoptotic features, while cells pre-treated with Paeonia Radix prior to MPP+ exposure showed s decrease in the occurrence of apoptotic features. Conclusions: These results suggest that Paeonia Radix may exert a protective effect against MPP+-induced apoptosis in SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells.

Metallic fuel has been considered for sodium-cooled fast reactors because it can maximize the uranium resources. It generates rare earth elements as fission products, where it is reported by aggravating the fuel-cladding chemical interaction at the operating temperature. Rare earth elements form a multicomponent alloy (Ce-Nd-Pr-La-Sm-etc.) during reactor operation, where it shows a higher reaction thickness than a single element. Experiments have been carried out by simplifying multicomponent alloys for mono or binary systems because complex alloys have difficulty in the analysis. In previous experiments, xCe-yNd was fabricated with two elements, Ce and Nd, which have a major effect on the fuel-cladding chemical interaction, and the thickness of the reaction layer reached maximum when the rare earth elements ratio was 1:1. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect and relationship of rare earth elements on such synergistic behavior. Single and binary rare earth model alloys were prepared by selecting five rare earth elements (Ce, Nd, Pr, La, and Sm). In the single system, Nd and Pr behaviors were close to diffusion, and Ce showed a eutectic reaction. In the binary system, Ce and Sm further increased the reaction layer, and La showed a non-synergy effect.

The nonohmic characteristics of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-based ceramic varistor doped with $Dy_2O_3$ in the range $0.0\sim2.0mol%$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1350^{\circ}C$ were investigated. 98.5 ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO varistor sintered at $130^{\circ}C$ exhibited higher nonlinear coefficient of 36 than the established Pr-based varistor. The four-component-system varistor such as 96.5 ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO-$2.0Dy_2O_3$ exhibited very highly nonohmic characteristics, which has nonlinear coefficient of 53.9. 98.5ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO varistor sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$, in contrast with that of $1300^{\circ}C$, exhibited approximately ohmic characteristics but nonlinear coefficient of varistor doped with 0.5mol% $Dy_2O_3$ showed higher nonlinear coefficient of probably 35. Consequently, it can be confirmed that $Dy_2O_3$ acted as additive of improvement on nonlinear coefficient. It is estimated that $Dy_2O_3$ will be used as additive of improvement on nonlinear coefficient to develop a goof ZnO varistor.

Repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has shown excellent outcomes. However it leaves varying degrees of residual hemodynamic impairment, with severe pulmonary stenosis (PS) and free pulmonary regurgitation (PR) at both ends of the spectrum. Since the 1980s, studies evaluating late outcomes after TOF repair revealed the adverse impacts of residual chronic PR on RV volume and function; thus, a turnaround of operational strategies has occurred from aggressive RV outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction for complete relief of RVOT obstruction to conservative RVOT reconstruction for limiting PR. This transformation has raised the question of how much residual PS after conservative RVOT reconstruction is acceptable. Besides, as pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) increases in patients with RV deterioration from residual PR, there is concern regarding when it should be performed. Regarding residual PS, several studies revealed that PS in addition to PR was associated with less PR and a small RV volume. This suggests that PS combined with PR makes RV diastolic property to protect against dilatation through RV hypertrophy and supports conservative RVOT enlargement despite residual PS. Also, several studies have revealed the pre-PVR threshold of RV parameters for the normalization of RV volume and function after PVR, and based on these results, the indications for PVR have been revised. Although there is no established strategy, better understanding of RV mechanics, development of new surgical and interventional techniques, and evidence for the effect of PVR on RV reverse remodeling and its late outcome will aid us to optimize the management of TOF.

Nd와 Pr이 함유된 모나자이트 샌드의 염산침출용액에서 Cyanex272 및 PC88A를 기반으로 한 TBP 및 Cyanex272와의 혼합용매를 사용하여 두 금속을 분리하기 위한 용매추출실험을 시행하였다. 이러한 목적을 위해 수상의 pH에 따른 추출제의 농도가 두 금속의 추출 및 분리에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 실험범위에서 Nd의 분배계수가 Pr의 분배계수보다 컸다. Cyanex272로 추출하는 경우 추출제의 농도와 초기 pH는 분배계수에 영향을 미치지 않으나, 초기 pH가 증가할수록 분리인자는 증가하였다. 혼합용매의 경우 PC88A를 단독으로 사용했을 때보다 분배계수가 낮고 분리인자에 차이가 없었다.

Polygalae Radix (PR) from Polygala tenuifolia. (Polygalaceae) is traditionally used in China and Korea, since this herb has a sedative, antiinflammatory, and antibacterial agent. To extend pharmacological actions of PR in the CNS on the basis of its CNS inhibitory effect, the present study examined whether PR has the neuroprotective action against kainic acid (KA) -induced cell death in primarily cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons. PR, over a concentration range of 0.05 to $5{\mu}g/ml$ inhibited KA $(500\;{\mu}M)$-induced neuronal cell death, which was measured by a trypan blue exclusion test and a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. PR $(0.5{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited glutamate release into medium induced by KA $(500\;{\mu}M)$, which was measured by HPLC. Pretreatment of PR $(0.5{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited KA $(500\;{\mu}M)$-induced elevation of cytosolic calcium concentration $([Ca^{2+}]_c)$ which was measured by a fluorescent dye, Fura 2-AM, and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These results suggest that PR prevents KA-induced neuronal cell damage in vitro.

Molecular Beam Epitaxy(MBE)법으로 성장된 $In_xGa_{1-x}As/GaAs$ 에피층에 대해 photoreflectance(PR)실험을 통해 특성을 조사하였다. PR 측정결과 성장된 InxGa1-xAs 에피 층의 띠간격 에너지(E0)신호가 시료의 변형(strain)에 의해 heavy-hole(E0(HH))과 light-hole(E0(LH))로 분리되어 관측되었다. 에피층의 조성과 변형은 각각 시료에서의 Eo(HH) 및 Eo(HH)와 Eo(LH)신호의 에너지 차이를 이용하여 구하였다. 또 160K이하의 온 도에서는 Eo(LH)의 신호가 사라짐을 볼 수 있었다. Franz-Keldysh oscillation(FKO) 피크 로부터 계산되어진 InGaAs/GaAs 계면전장(E)은 In조성의 증가에 따라 $0.75{\times}10^5$V/cm에서 $2.66{\times}10^5$V/cm로 증가하였다. In조성이 x=0.09인 시료에 대한 PR신호의 온도의존성 실험에 서 Varshni계수와 Bose-Einstein계수들을 각각 구하였다.

Radix Paeoniae rubra (PR) has been widely used for recovering acute inflammation with swelling and pain in Far East Asian countries. In order to investigate the anti-arthritic effect of PR herbacupuncture, several behavioral parameters such as body weight, knee circumference, squeaking threshold, and weight distribution ratio were investigated in an adjuvant-induced mono-arthritis rat model. We performed PR herb-acupuncture on Zusanli (ST36) of the right hind-leg once every second day for a total of 6 times from the second day of initiating arthritis with adjuvant injection, while the control group was treated with saline in the same way. In the experimental group, body weight significantly increased, knee circumference and squeaking threshold significantly decreased indicating the reduction of edema, and both the pain and inflammatory swelling of the hind paws measured by incapacitance meter decreased. Conclusively, PR herb-acupuncture has more promising effect in alleviating arthritic pain and inflammation than saline-acupuncture in rat model, hence further clinical study is required.

Influenza viruses cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans through epidemics or pandemics. Currently, two classes of anti-influenza virus drugs, M2 ion-channel inhibitors (amantadin and rimantadine) and neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir), have been used for the treatment of the influenza virus infection. Since the resistance to these drugs has been reported, the development of a new antiviral agent is necessary. In this study, we examined the antiviral efficacy of the plant extracts against the influenza A/PR/8/34 infection. In vitro, the antiviral activities of the plant extracts were investigated using the cell-based screening. Three plant extracts, Thuja orientalis, Aster spathulifolius, and Pinus thunbergii, were shown to induce a high cell viability rate after the infection with the influenza A/PR/8/34 virus. The antiviral activity of the plant extracts also increased as a function of the concentration of the extracts and these extracts significantly reduced the visible cytopathic effect caused by virus infections. Furthermore, the treatment with T. orientalis was shown to have a stronger inhibitory effect than that with A. spathulifolius or P. thunbergii. These results may suggest that T. orientalis has anti-influenza A/PR/8/34 activity.
