A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of marker constituents, paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizin was established for the quality control of traditional herbal medicinal preparation, Sayuk-san (SYS). Separation and quantification were successfully achieved with a Waters XTerra RP18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6mm\;I.D.{\times}150mm$) by gradient elution of a mixture of acetonitrile and water containing 0.03% phosphoric acid (pH 2.03) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The diode-array UV/vis detector (DAD) was used for the detection and the wavelength for quantification was set at 230 nm. The presence of paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizin in this decoction was ascertained by retention time, spiking with each authentic standard and UV spectrum. All two compounds showed good linearity ($r^2$>0.996) in a relatively wide concentration ranges. The R.S.D. for intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 7.3% and the limits of detection (LOD) were less than 55.7 ng. The mean recovery of each compound was $102.3{\sim}111.1%$ with R.S.D. values less than 4.6%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of contents of paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizin in three commercial products of SYS. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is simple, effective and could be readily utilized as a quality control method for commercial SYS products.

Electron capture deteotor가 장착된 gas chromatography를 이용하여 간장에서 3-monochloro-1, 2-propanediol(MCPD)의 효율적인 분석조건을 조사하였다. MCPD를 직접 분석하는 것 보다 MCPD를 phenylboric acid로 유도체화하여 분석하는 경우가 sharp한 peak를 얻을 수 있었으며, 감도도 우수하였다. 유도체화 방법을 실온에서 5분간 vortex혹은 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 20분 반응시켜 분석한 결과, R값이 각각 0.9997과 0.9977로 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. MCPD의 추출방법은 Extrelut 3 column을 사용하는 것이 ethyl acetate로 직접 추출하는 것보다 회수율이 월등히 높았으며, MCPD의 농노가 높을수록 회수율이 낮게 나타났다. 하지만 MCPD를 정성적으로 분석하고자 할 경우 ethyl acetate로 직접 추출하는 방법도 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 간장에 MCPD를 spiking 하고 gas chromatography-electron capture detector 및 gas chromatography-mass selective detector로 분석한 결과 sharp한 모양의 peak를 얻을 수 있었으며, mass spectrum으로 MCPD를 확인할 수 있었다.

We performed experiments using Aplysia neurons to identify the mechanism underlying the changes in the firing patterns in response to temperature changes. When the temperature was gradually increased from $11^{\circ}C$ to $31^{\circ}C$ the firing patterns changed sequentially from the silent state to beating, doublets, beating-chaos, bursting-chaos, square-wave bursting, and bursting-oscillation patterns. When the temperature was decreased over the same temperature range, these sequential changes in the firing patterns reappeared in reverse order. To simulate this entire range of spiking patterns we modified nonlinear differential equations that Chay and Lee made using temperature-dependent scaling factors. To refine the equations, we also analyzed the spike pattern changes in the presence of potassium channel blockers. Based on the solutions of these equations and potassium channel blocker experiments, we found that, as temperature increases, the maximum value of the potassium channel relaxation time constant, ${\tau}_n(t)$ increases, but the maximum value of the probabilities of openings for activation of the potassium channels, n(t) decreases. Accordingly, the voltage-dependent potassium current is likely to play a leading role in the temperature-dependent changes in the firing patterns in Aplysia neurons.

In patients with epilepsy, depression is a common comorbidity but difficult to be treated because many antidepressants cause pro-convulsive effects. Thus, it is important to identify the risk of seizures associated with antidepressants. To determine whether paroxetine, a very potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), interacts with ion channels that modulate neuronal excitability, we examined the effects of paroxetine on Kv3.1 potassium channels, which contribute to high-frequency firing of interneurons, using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Kv3.1 channels were cloned from rat neurons and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Paroxetine reversibly reduced the amplitude of Kv3.1 current, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $9.43{\mu}M$ and a Hill coefficient of 1.43, and also accelerated the decay of Kv3.1 current. The paroxetine-induced inhibition of Kv3.1 channels was voltage-dependent even when the channels were fully open. The binding ($k_{+1}$) and unbinding ($k_{-1}$) rate constants for the paroxetine effect were $4.5{\mu}M^{-1}s^{-1}$ and $35.8s^{-1}$, respectively, yielding a calculated $K_D$ value of $7.9{\mu}M$. The analyses of Kv3.1 tail current indicated that paroxetine did not affect ion selectivity and slowed its deactivation time course, resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. Paroxetine inhibited Kv3.1 channels in a use-dependent manner. Taken together, these results suggest that paroxetine blocks the open state of Kv3.1 channels. Given the role of Kv3.1 in fast spiking of interneurons, our data imply that the blockade of Kv3.1 by paroxetine might elevate epileptic activity of neural networks by interfering with repetitive firing of inhibitory neurons.

Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt and Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contacts to n-type InGaAs were investigated for applications to AlGaAs/GaAs HBT emitter ohmic contacts. In the Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt ohmic contact minimum specific contact resistivity of $3.7${\times}$10^{-6}$ $\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by rapid thermal annealing at $^400{\circ}C$/10 sec. In the Pd/Ge/Ti/Au ohmic contact, minimum specific contact resistivity of $1.1${\times}$10^{-6}$ $\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by annealing at 40$0^{\circ}C$/10 sec but the ohmic performance was degraded with increasing annealing temperature due to the reaction between the ohmic contact materials and the InGaAs substrate. However, non-spiking planar interface and relatively good ohmic contact (high-$10^{-6}$ /$\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$) were maintained after annealing at $450^{\circ}C$/10 sec. Therefore, these thermally stable ohmic contact systems are promising candidates for compound semiconductor devices. RF performance of the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT was also examined by employing the Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt and Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au systems as emitter ohmic contacts. Cutoff frequencies were 63.5 ㎓ and 65.0 ㎓, respectively, and maximum oscillation frequencies were 50.5 ㎓ and 51.3 ㎓, respectively, indicating very successful high frequency operations.

N형 InGaAs에 대한 Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au 오믹 접촉의 급속 열처리 조건에 따른 오믹 특성을 조사하였다. $450^{\circ}C$까지의 열처리 동안에 전반적으로 우수한 오믹 특성을 나타내어 $400^{\circ}C$, 20초의 급속 열처리 조건에서 최저 $3.9\times10^{-7}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ 의 접촉 비저항을 나타내었다. 이는 열처리에 의해 생성된 Pd-Si계 화합물의 형성 및 Si의 InGaAs 표면으로의 확산과 관련이 있었다. 그러나 $400^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 시간을 30초 이상으로 연장할 경우 접촉 비저항이 low-$10^{-6}\Omega \textrm{cm}^2$ 으로 약간 증가하였고, 열처리 조건을 425~$450^{\circ}C$/10초로 변화시킬 경우 high-$10^{-7}$~low-$10^{-6}\Omega \textrm{cm}^2$으로 약간 증가하였다. 이는 오믹 재료와 InGaAs의 반응에 의해 Pd-Ga계 화합물이 형성된 것과 관련이 있었다. 고온 열처리 후에도 오믹 재료와 InGaAs의 평활한 계면을 유지하면서 우수한 오믹 특성을 나타내어, 화합물 반도체 소자의 오믹 접촉으로 충분히 응용 가능하다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to comparatively analyze the active stability of shoulder joints according to the frequency of overhead motions, such as serving and spiking, engaged in by female professional volleyball athletes who play different positions, and to provide the results as the basic data for developing exercise programs to prevent shoulder joint injuries. The subjects of this study were 50 Korean female professional volleyball players and positions were as follows: left and right attackers, centers, setters, and liberos. The external rotation and internal rotation muscle strength and muscle strength ratios of the dominant and non-dominant arms of all subjects were measured using Biodex. The results of this study are as follows: Frist, no significant differences were found in the internal and external rotation muscle strength of the dominant and non-dominant arms between positions. Second, for the shoulder joint muscle strength ratio of the dominant arm, by position, the setter showed significantly greater stability compared to the other positions. Third, for the shoulder joint muscle strength ratio of the non-dominant arm, by position, no significant difference in stability between positions was found. Fourth, it was found that the dominant arm had significantly greater instability of the shoulder joint than the non-dominant arm for attackers and centers, but no significant difference was found for setters and liberos. This study comparatively analyzed the muscle strength ratios of the external/internal rotations and dominant/non-dominant arms, which can determine the stability of the shoulder joints between female professional volleyball playing positions that engage in jumps and spikes using only the dominant hand and positions that do not.

To improve the sensory quality of sliced raw fish, the effect of cold brine temperature on the texture properties was investigated. Fishes were immersed in cold brine by various condition and killed instantly by spiking at the head. The onset of rigor-mortis was accelerated by decrease of immersion temperature. Also, the time reaching full rigor was shortened remarkably too. However, the rigor index of samples immersed in the cold brine decreased more than that of samples killed instantly. Rigor index was the highest in samples killed instantly, followed by $0^{\circ}C,\;-5^{\circ}C,\;-10^{\circ}C,\;-12.5^{\circ}C,\;-15^{\circ}C\;and\;-20^{\circ}C$ in that order. The breaking strength of samples immersed in the cold brine increased slowly but did not increase through all the conditions in the samples. Breaking strength of all samples immersed in the cold brine decreased significantly after reaching the maximum values (p<0.05). The lactate content of muscle was increased by the decreased brine temperature, however ATP content decreased. Minimum lactate and maximum ATP content in fish muscle showed at $-12.5^{\circ}C$. Those results demonstrate that optimal temperature for improvement of sliced raw fish quality by cold brine was $-12.5^{\circ}C.$
