Muscle vibration measurement has long been an unique scientific study, in general, and the direct reaction of animals to feel pain (algesia), either from vascular or muscle contraction, is a complex perceptual experience. Thus this paper proposes a way to measure animal algesia quantitatively, by measuring the changes in muscle vibration due to a pinprick on the surface of the skin of a Spodoptera litura larva. Using the laser optical triangulation measurement principle, along with a CMOS image sensor, linear laser, software analysis, and other tools, we quantify the subtle object point displacement, with a precision of up to $10{\mu}m$, for our chosen Spodoptera litura larva animal model, in which it is not easy to identify the tiny changes in muscle contraction dynamics with the naked eye. We inject different concentrations of formalin reagent (empty needle, 12% formalin, and 37% formalin) to obtain a variety of different muscle vibration frequencies as the experimental results. Because of the high concentrations of reagent applied, we see a high frequency shift of muscle vibration, which can be presented as pain indices, so that the algesia can be quantified.

To date, there has been no employment of a magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor method to detect Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in soil. The ME biosensor method needs to be investigated and modified for its successful performance. The filtration method, cation-exchange resin method, and combinations of both methods were employed for the extraction of S. Typhimurium from soil. The number of S. Typhimurium and the resonant frequency shift of the ME sensor were then compared using a brilliant green sulfa agar plate and an HP 8751A network analyzer. A blocking study was performed using bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and casein powder suspension. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was performed to detect S. Typhimurium in soil. The number of S. Typhimurium was significantly decreased from 7.10 log CFU/soil to 4.45-4.72 log CFU/soil after introduction of the cation-exchange resin method. The greatest resonant frequency shift of the measurement sensor was found when employing centrifugation and filtration procedures. The resonant frequency shift of the PEG-blocked measurement sensor was $3,219{\pm}755Hz$, which was significantly greater than those of the BSA- and casein-blocked ME sensor. The optimum concentration of PEG was determined to be 1.0 mg/ml after considering the resonant shift and economic issue. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was able to detect S. Typhimurium in soil in a dose-response manner. Although these modifications of the ME biosensor method sacrificed some advantages, such as cost, time effectiveness, and operator friendliness, this study demonstrated a novel approach of the ME biosensor method to detect S. Typhimurium in soil.

Several ABCH type chiral calix[4]arenes were prepared from monoalkyl calix[4]arenes by treating with various acyl halide, followed by reacting with benzoyl chloride in pyridine. These asymmetrically substituted ABCH type calix[4]arenes are obtained as racemates mixture which are confirmed by the chiral shift reagent in 1H NMR spectra. The molecular and crystal structure of 5-nitro-26-allyloxy-25-benzoyloxy-28-isobutyryloxy-27-hydroxycalix[4]arene 8a has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. Two independent enantiomeric molecules are crystallized in a 1: 1 racemate mixture. They are in the partial cone conformation in which the benzoyloxy phenyl group is down. There is a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving three functional groups in each molecule.

한국산 씀바귀(Lactuca dentata Makino)의 ethylacetate 추출물에서 6 종류의 flavonoid 성분이 TLC에 의해서 검출 되었으며, 이들은 극성에 따라서 A에서 F가지 명명되었다. 그들 중 주성분으로 생각되는 물질 E를 column chromatography을 이용하여 분리정제 하였다. 물질 E의 녹는 점은 $249.5^{\circ}C-251^{\circ}C$ 로 나타났으며, 그 구조를 밝히기 위하여, 물질 E와 이를 가수분해한 genin에 대한 여러가지 shift reagent에서 UV와 IR분석을 하고 또한 물질 E와 그의 acetyl 유도체에 대한 NMR 분석을 하였으며 물질 E에 결합된 당은 TLC에 의하여 확인하였다. 이와같은 분석 결과에서 물질 E는 luteolin 모핵에 glucose가 결합된 $luteolin-7-0-{\beta}-D-glucoside$로서 확인되었다.

Objective : Morus alba Linne Root Bark (MRAL) is a medicinal herb in Korean Medicine, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. However, its mechanisms of action and the cellular targets have not yet been found and the study was developed to investigate the allergic suppressive effect of MRAL. The purpose of this study is to investigate the allergic suppressive effects of MRAL on activation of MC/9 mast cells. Methods : Cytotoxic activity of MRAL (50, 100, 200, 400 ${\mu}g/mL$) on MC/9 mast cells measured using EZ-Cytox cell viability assay kit (WST reagent). The levels of interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-13 and IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13 mRNA expression were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time PCR respectively. The expression of transcription factors such as GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT, AP-1 and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding activity were measured by western blot and electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results : Our results indicated that MRAL (50 ${\mu}g/mL$, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$) significantly inhibited PMA/Ionomycin-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 and the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-13 mRNA in MC/9 mast cells. Moreover, MRAL (50 ${\mu}g/mL$, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$) inhibited PMA/Ionomycin-induced GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT-1, NFAT-2, c-Fos protein expression and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding activity in MC/9 mast cells. Conclusions : In conclusion, we suspect the anti-allergenic activities of MRAL, may be related to the regulation of transcription factors GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT-1, NFAT-2, c-Fos and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding assay causing inhibition of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 in mast cells.

아세트아미드(AA)의 CO기와 희토류 금속이온(Ln(II))을 포함하는 몇 가지 lanthanide shift reagent(LSR) 사이의 상호작용을 이해하기 위하여 AA의 $2{\nu}_{C=0}$ + amide III 조합띠를 $15^{\circ}$ ${\sim} 45^{\circ}C$에서 조사하였다. 묽은 $CCl_4$ 용액속에서 하나의 AA가 사용된 LSR에 배위되어 1 : 1 AA-LSR 복합체를 이루며, Ln(Ⅲ)이온에 대한 AA의 배위 위치는 카르보닐의 산소임을 알았다. 온도 및 농도에 따른 이 조합띠의 변화로부터 Ln(III)${\cdot}$O=C 결합에 대한 여러가지 열역학적 함수들을 구했다. Eu$(dpm)_3$, Yb$(dpm)_3$ 및 Pr$(dpm)_3$에 대한 AA의 결합의 세기를 나타내는 ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$는 각각 -39.1, -28.4 및 -25.5kJ/mol이다. 이들 값을 비교해보면 AA 분자가 배위될 때 중심금속이온의 ionic potential 효과보다는 이미 배위되어 있는 커다란 dpm 분자에 의한 입체장애효과가 더 큼을 알 수 있다.

양파 껍질의 메탄올 추출물에 함유되어있는 플라보노이드류를 분리하고자 Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography를 한 결과, $F_1,\;F_2$ 두 개의 활성분획을 얻었다. $F_1$과 $F_2$ 분획의 자외선과 가시광선에서의 흡수 패턴을 측정하였다. $F_1$과 $F_2$ 분획의 band I과 band II는 전형적인 프라보놀의 피크 파장을 보였으며, $MeOH,\;NaOMe,\;AlCl_3,\;AlCl_3/HCl,\;NaOAc$와 $NaOAc/H_3BO_3$의 shift reagent를 이용한 흡수패턴을 측정한 결과, $F_1$ 분획은 3,5,7,3'-OH를 가지며 4' 위치에 glucose를 가지는 플라보놀로 확인이 되었다. $F_2$ 분획은 3(5),7,3',4'-OH를 가지는 플라보놀로 확인이 되었다. 두 분획의 분자량을 측정하고자 FAB mass를 이용한 결과, $F_1$ 분획의 경우 $m/z\;465\;(M＋H)^+$로 quercetin monoglucoside에 해당되는 분자량을 보였으며, $F_2$ 분획은 $m/z\;303\;(M＋H)^+$로 quercetin에 해당되는 분자량을 보였다. Quercetin 4'-glucoside와 quercetin으로 확인된 분획 $F_1$과 $F_2$에 의한 xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해기작은 비경쟁적과 무경쟁적 저해 형태가 서로 혼합되어 있는 형태이었다.
