  • Intravenous administration of saponin extracted from the root of Panax ginseng lowered the blood pressure dose-dependently (10-200 mg/kg, B.W) in anesthetized rats. Therefore, experiments were designed to study the hypothesis that the lowering of blood pressure is associated with the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and the accumulation of guanosine 3, 5-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP). Rings of thoracic aorta with and without endothelium were suspended for the measurement of isometric tension in organ chamber and the tissue content of cGMP was measured by radioimmunoassay. All experiments were performed in the presence of $indomethacin(10^{-5}M).$ Ginseng saponin $(10^{-5}-3{\times}10^{-6}g/ml)$ relaxed contractions induced by phenylephrine $10^{-6}M)$ in the aorta with endothelium but not in that without endothelium. Treatment of aortic rings with $N^G$ monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, $10^{-4}M$ for 30 min), a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, and methylene blue $(MB,\;3{\times}10^{-7}M$ for 30 min). an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, diminished the relaxation induced by Ginseng saponin. Ginseng saponin $10^{-4}g/ml$ for 2 min) increased the accumulation of cGMP in rings with endothelium. L-NMMA and MB inhibited the accumulation of cGMP induced by Ginseng saponin. These data suggest that vascular relaxations induced by Ginseng saponin are mediated by release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and the accumulation of cGMP. The effect of Ginseng saponin on endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic rabbits was examined. In hypercholesterolemic rabbits fed with $2\%$ cholesterol for 8 weeks, relaxation of aortic rings to acetylcholine was impaired. The impaired relaxations of aortic rings in hypercholesterolemic rabbits were improved by dietary supplementation of Ginseng saponin, probably because of an improved release of endothelium - derived relaxing factor.

  • 본 연구에서는 역세척이 가능한 평막과 MBR 하부에서 공급되는 공기 및 자연적으로 순환되는 구형 입자를 이용하여 투과 실험하였다. 활성슬러지 수용액은 MLSS 8,000 mg/L로 유지하였으며 여과/이완(FR), 이완시 역세척(FR/BW), 사인파형 연속투과 운전(SFCO) 및 사인파형 연속투과 운전 시 역세척(SFCO/BW) 방식에 따른 막간차압(TMP)을 측정하였다. 역세척 유량을 47에서 $14L/m^2{\cdot}hr$로 감소시키면, TMP가 증가하였으며 SFCO보다는 FR 방식의 TMP가 크게 증가하였다. 또한 역세척 방식이 구형입자를 이용한 세척방식보다 TMP를 더 감소시켰으며, 구형입자와 역세척 방식을 동시에 사용하면 각각의 방법보다 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This study was conducted to find out the effects of agro-healing activities and strolling on the physiological conditions of patients with chronic metabolic diseases. A total of 11 subjects participated in agro-healing activities, and their average age was 49.6±11.3. Changes in their salivary cortisol were compared and analyzed before and after participating in the agro-healing activity program, and it was found that the stress hormone decreased after participating in the program. Differences in brain wave between before and after participating in agro-healing activities and strolling were measured, and the ratio of alpha to high beta (RAHB) of subjects increased in most of the measured points after participating in agro-healing activities. In addition, the increase in the value in the temporal lobe (T3) that controls mortor skills and occipital lobe (O2) that controls visual functions indicates that the activities were effective in improving relaxation and stability. The relative low beta (RLB) power spectrum of subjects also statistically significantly decreased in the right occipital lobe (O2) that controls visual functions, the relative mid beta (RMB) and relative high beta (RHB) power spectrum decreased in the left temporal lobe (T3) and the right occipital lobe (O2). These results indicate that the activities were effective in improving relaxation under no stress and tension. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure of subjects after participating in agro-healing activities decreased from the prehypertension level to the normal level. These results indicate that horticultural activities and visual elements in healing farms, such as agro-healing activities and strolling, have positive impacts on patients with chronic metabolic diseases accompanied with diabetes or high blood pressure by increasing the brain activity and psycho-physiological conditions of participants.

  • 외부에서 가해진 비소 스트레스가 내피유무에 따른 흰쥐 대동맥의 수축력 증가와 이완반응에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 실험을 실시하였다. 혈압의 측정은 생리기록계를 이용하였고, 내피 유무에 따른 혈관의 수축력은 Organ bath에 조직을 걸고 자동조절 생리기록계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 중추신경계를 파괴시킨 흰쥐의 생체 내 실험에서 비소처리로 vasopressin과 phenylephrine에 의한 혈관 수축력은 대조군에 비해 각각 19.1%와 46.6%로 대동맥의 혈압은 상승되었다. 0, 0.5, 1, 2 및 4 mM As을 처리한 적출 대동맥 실험에서 phenylephrine $(10^{-6}M)$을 가했을 때 5시간까지는 혈관 수축력의 변화가 미미했으나 8시간째 비소 처리군은 대조군에 비해 39% 증가된 값을 보여 수축력이 더욱 유의하게 증가되었다. 내피 제거 시 저농도 비소처리에서 다소 신속한 수축반응을 보였으나 고농도 비소 처리시에는 내피유무에 따른 차이가 유의적이지 않았다. 이완제 sodium nitroprusside와 acetylcoline를 처리했을 때 대조군에 비해 다소 증가된 이완력을 보였고, 시간경과에 따라 내피 비의존적인 nitroprusside와 달리 내피 의존적인 acetylcholine에서 이완력이 대조군에 비해 다소 촉진되었다. 이상의 결과에서 4 mM As처리시 혈관의 수축력은 증가되었으나 내피유무에 따른 차이는 유의적이지 않았고, 내피가 혈관의 이완력을 다소 촉진시킨 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 비소처리한 혈관은 내피유무와 무관하게 수축력이 증가되어 장기간 고농도 비소에 노출 시 고혈압을 유발할 우려가 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

  • In hot embossing lithography which has shown to be a good method to fabricate polymeric patterns for IT and bio components, it is very important to determine the proper process conditions of pressure, temperature, and time. It is also a key factor for predicting the optical properties of final product to calculate residual stress distribution after the embossing process. Therefore, to design the optimum process with right conditions, the ability to predict viscoelastic behavior of polymer during and after the hot embossing process is required. The objective of the present investigation is to establish simulation technique based on constitutive modeling of polymer with experiments. To analyze deformation behavior of viscoelastic polymer, the large strain material properties were obtained from quasi-static compression tests at different strain rates and temperatures and also stress relaxation tests were executed. With this viscoelastic material model, finite element simulation of hot embossing was executed and stress distribution is obtained. Proper process pressure is very important to predict the defect and incomplete filling.

  • When designing high temperature piping system, creep phenomena must be considered. Since ASME code does not provide detailed methods of design by rule (DBR) for high temperature piping, Finite element analysis should be performed. However, In the case of piping system with frequent design changes, creep analysis of the entire piping system for every change is ineffective and practically impossible. Therefore, based on elastic and elastic-plastic analysis, which takes a relatively short time, the creep stress is predicted by using elastic follow-up factor method provided in R5 code and plastic-creep analogy presented by Hoff. The predicted creep stress for a virtual piping system was compared with the creep analysis result and the two results showed similar stress relaxation tendency in time.

  • DA-8159, a new phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, was assessed for its erectogenic potential by a penile erection test in rats, the relaxation of isolated rabbit corpus cavernosum (CC), and estimation of the intracavernous pressure (ICP) in the anesthetized dog. Oral administration of DA-8159 (0.3 to 1 ${\mu}g/kg$ ) increased the number of erections in rats with increasing dosage, with the highest penile erection index at 10 ${\mu}g/kg$ DA-8159 induced the relaxation of phenylephrine (PHE)-induced contractions in the rabbit CC and decreased the $IC_{50}$ of the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in a dose-dependent fashion. In pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs, the intravenous administration of DA-8159 (1~300 ${\mu}g/kg$ ) potentiated the increase in ICP induced by the intracavernosal SNP in a dose-related manner. These findings suggest that DA-8159 has significant therapeutic potential in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

  • Thermal stress and elastic creeping stress analysis was conducted by finite element method to simulate start-up process of a boiler header of 500MW standard fossil power plant. Start-up temperature and operating pressure history were simplified from the real field data and they were used for the thermal stress analysis. Two kinds of thermal stress analysis were considered. In the first case only temperature increase was considered and in the second case both of temperature and operating pressure histories were considered. In the first analysis peak stress was occurred during the temperature increase from the room temperature. Hence cracking or fracture may occur at the temperature far below the operating maximum temperature. In the results of the second analysis von Mises stress appeared to be higher after the second temperature increase. This is due to internal pressure increase not due to the thermal stress. When the stress components of radial(r), hoop($\theta$) and longitudinal(z) stress were investigated, compression hoop stress was occurred at inner surface of the stub tube when the temperature increased from room temperature to elevated temperature. Then it was changed to tension hoop stress and increased because of the operating pressure. It was expected that frequent start-up and shut-down operations could cause thermal fatigue damage and cracking at the stub tube hole in the header. Elastic-creeping analysis was also carried out to investigate the stress relaxation due to creep and stabilized stress after considerable elapsed time. The results could be used for assessing the creep damage and the residual life of the boiler header during the long-tenn service.
