We will be establish the new k stores of identical product firm $F_B$ to gain competitive advantage over rival firm $F_A$ that has already monopolize a market with k stores. In this situation, how we can decide the location of k stores? For this problem, Serra and Revelle proposes k-Median and MAXCAP integer programming using LP+BB to decide the k stores of firm $F_B$. Then they exchange the k stores to another location that cover more customers. This paper suggests non-neighborhood search method that finds the ${\upsilon}{\not\in}N_G(u)$nodes for u of firm $F_A$ without most outer loop nodes using just MS-Excel. As a result of experiment, the proposed algorithm can be get the optimal solution easier and faster than integer programming.

Objective: To investigate the effects of gambogic acid (GA) on the growth of human malignant glioma cells. Methods: U251MG and U87MG human glioma cell lines were treated with GA and growth and proliferation were investigated by MTT and colony formation assays. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by annexin V FITC/PI flow cytometry, mitochondrial membrane potential assays and DAPI nuclear staining. Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining and GFP-LC3 localisation were used to detect autophagy. Western blotting was used to investigate the molecular changes that occurred in the course of GA treatment. Results: GA treatment significantly suppressed cell proliferation and colony formation, induced apoptosis in U251 and U87MG glioblastoma cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. GA treatment also lead to the accumulation of monodansylcadaverine (MDC) in autophagic vacuoles, upregulated expressions of Atg5, Beclin 1 and LC3-II, and the increase of punctate fluorescent signals in glioblastoma cells pre-transfected with GFP-tagged LC3 plasmid. After the combination treatment of autophagy inhitors and GA, GA mediated growth inhibition and apoptotic cell death was further potentiated. Conclusion: Our results suggested that autophagic responses play roles as a self-protective mechanism in GA-treated glioblastoma cells, and autophagy inhibition could be a novel adjunctive strategy for enhancing chemotherapeutic effect of GA as an anti-malignant glioma agent.

An E1B-defective adenovirus, named r2/Ad carrying the neo expression cassette, was constructed by homologous recombination. The construction, selection (using neomycin as a selective marker), and propagation of the recombinant virus was performed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK 293). An in vitro study demonstrated that this recombinant virus has the ability to replicate in and lyse some p53-deficient human tumor cells such as human glioma tumor cells (U251) and human bladder cells (EJ), but not in some cells with functional p53, such as human adenocarcinoma cells (A549) and human fibroblast cells (MRC-5). Also, based on the cytopathic effect (CPE), it was demonstrated, under identical conditions, that the U251 cells were more sensitive to r2/Ad replication than the EJ cells. In this paper, we report that r2/Ad could be very useful in studying the in vitro selective replication of E1B-defective adenovirus and has great potential in cancer gene therapy.

Background: MicroRNAs, small noncoding RNA molecules, can regulate mammalian cell growth, apoptosis and differentiation by controlling the expression of target genes. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miR-323-5p in the glioma cell line, U251. Materials and Methods: After over-expression of miR-323-5p using miR-323-5p mimics, cell growth, apoptosis and migration were tested by MTT, flow cytometry and cell wound healing assay, respectively. We also assessed the influence of miR-323-5p on the mRNA expression of IGF-1R by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR), and on the protein levels by Western blot analysi. In addition, dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine the target site of miR-323-5p to IGF-1R 3'UTR. Results: Our findings showed that over-expression of miR-323-5p could promote apoptosis of U251 and inhibit the proliferation and migration of the glioma cells. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that increased expression of miR-323-5p might be related to glioma progression, which indicates a potential role of miR-323-5p for clinical therapy.

The generation of energy and the cooling of system using thermoelectric semiconductor material have been in spotlight. Thermoelectric effect increases with the decrease of the thermal conductivity. In the thermoelectric devices, thermal conductivity is related to phonon scattering. Therefore, few studies have been conducted in the thermoelectric materials dispersed nano oxide particle for increasing the phonon scattering. However, core-shell structure which nano particle disperses in solvents and then which thermoelectric materials coated on the nano oxide particles has not been reported. In this study, we selected commercial nano powder such as $Al_2O_3$. This nano particle was about 20nm and was crushed aggregate by mechanical treatment. We have developed the effect of the dispersant and the solvent. The properties of particles were evaluated by SEM, TEM, particle size analysis, and BET. Dispersion and dispersion stability were evaluated by electronic microscope and turbidity.

Objective : p16/INK4a, a kind of tumor suppressor genes, encodes a specific inhibitor of the cyclin D-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6. This prevents the association of CDK4 with cyclin D1, and subsequently inhibits phosphorylation of retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein(pRb), thus preventing exit from the G1 phase. According to previous reports, over 50% of glioma tissue and 80% of glioma cell lines have been demonstrated inactivation of p16/INK4a gene. The purpose of this study was to determine whether recombinant adenovirus-p16 virus is a suitable candidate for gene replacement therapy in cases of glioma. Methods : Three human glioma cell lines(U251MG, U87MG and U373MG) that express mutant p16 protein were used. Replication-deficient adenovirus was utilized as an expression vector to transfer exogenous p16 cDNA into the cells ; control cells were infected with the Ad-${\beta}$-gal expressing ${\beta}$-galactosidase. To monitor gene transfer and the expression of exogenous genes, we used Western Blotting analysis. Flow cytometry studies of cellular DNA content were performed to determine the cell cycle phenotype of the glioma cells before and after treatment. Results : We showed here that restoration of p16/INK4a expression in p16 negative U87MG, U251MG and partially deleted U373MG by Ad-CMV-p16 induced growth suppression in vitro. Flow cytometric study revealed that Ad-CMV-p16 infected U87MG cells were arrested during the G0-G1 phase of the cell cycle. Expression of p16 transferred by Ad-CMV-p16 in glioma cells was highly efficient and maintained for more than seven days. Conclusions : Our results suggest that Ad-CMV-p16 gene therapy strategy is potentially useful and warrants further clinical investigation for the treatment of gliomas.

Modalpartikeln, die auch $Abt\"{o}nungspartikeln,\;W\"{u}rzw\"{o}rter,\;F\"{a}rbew\"{o}rter$ usw. genannt werden, galten eine Zeitlang als $\"{U}berfl\"{u}ssiges$. Aber mit der 'kommunikativ­pragrnatischen Wende' hat die Partikelforschung einen enormen Aufschwung genommen. Auch im Femdsprachenunterricht waren Partikeln als etwas Unwichtiges oder in anderen Worten etwas schwer zu Behandelndes geblieben und wurden deshalb zur Seite geschoben. Mit Hilfe der Aufschwung der Partikelforschung in Deutschland untersuchte ich koreanische $\"{U}bersetzungsm\"{o}glichkeiten$ von Modalparikeln. Ich $\"{u}bernahm$ Diewaldische Methode. Sie $schl\"{a}gt$ ein Beschreibungsschema vor: Modalpartikeln haben verweisende und $verkn\"{u}fende$ Funktion. Sie weisen $n\"{a}hmlich$ auf den pragmatischen $Pr\"{a}text\;zur\"{u}ck$ und bringen ihn in relevanter Situation mit der Modalpartikel enthaltenden $\"{A}u{\ss}erung$ in Beziehung. Da braucht man also drei Ebenen: pragmatischer $Pr\"{a}text$, relevante Situation und partikelhaltige $Au{\ss}erung$. Die Schwierigkeit der $\"{U}bersetzungsm\"{o}glichkeiten$ von Modalkartikeln besteht darin, jeweiligen $Pr\"{a}text$ und jeweilige relevante Situation wiederherzustellen und auszudrticken. In diesem Aufsatz geht es nur um 'doch'. 'doch' ist eine der $h\"{a}ufigsten$ Modalpartikeln und tritt in vielen verschidenen Satzarten. 'doch' tritt in Aussage-, Imperativ-, Ausrufe­und Wunschsatzen auf. $Au{\ss}erdem$ tritt 'doch' in $Erg\"{a}nzungsfragen$ und Entscheidungsfragen mit Intonation auf und ist aber nur bei 'echten' Fragen ausgeschlossen. Aus der diachronischen Bedeutungsentwicklung und dem Bedeutungsvergleich zu ihren Homonymen stellten sich die semantischen Merkmale von 'doch' als $Adversativit\"{a}t\;und\;Konzessivit\"{a}t$. Aber diese semantischen Komponenten werden bei dem Modalpartikel $abgeschw\"{a}cht$ und pragmatische Faktoren werden in verschiedenen $Verwendungsm\"{o}glichkeiten$ verstarkt. Unter $Ber\"{u}cksichtigung\;jeweiligen\;Pr\"{a}textes$ und relevanter Situation schlug ich koreanische $\"{U}bersetzungsm\"{o}glichkeiten$ von 'doch' je nach der Satzart und nach der $Verwendungsm\"{o}glichkeit$ vor.

Objective : To study the physiochemical characteristics of podophyllotoxin (PPT) conjugated stearic acid grafted chitosan oligosaccharide micelle (PPT-CSO-SA), and evaluate the ability of the potential antineoplastic effects against glioma cells. Methods : PPT-CSO-SA was prepared by a dialysis method. The quality of PPT-CSO-SA including micellar size, zeta potential, drug encapsulation efficiency and drug release profiles was evaluated. Glioma cells were cultured and treated with PPT and PPT-CSO-SA. The ability of glioma cells to uptake PPT-CSO-SA was observed. The proliferation of glioma cells was determined by 3-[4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The apoptosis and morphology of U251 cells were observed by 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) dye staining. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry. The migration ability of U251 cells was determined by wound healing test. Results : PPT-CSO-SA had nano-level particle size and sustained release property. The encapsulation efficiency of drug reached a high level. The cellular uptake percentage of PPT in glioma cells was lower than that of PPT-CSO-SA (p<0.05). The inhibitory effect of PPT-CSO-SA on glioma cells proliferation was significantly stronger than that of PPT (p<0.05). The morphologic change of apoptosis cell such as shrinkage, karyorrhexis and karyopyknosis were observed. The percentage of U251 cells in G2/M phase increased significantly in the PPT-CSO-SA group compared with PPT group (p<0.05). Compared with the PPT group, the cell migration ability of the PPT-CSO-SA group was significantly inhibited after 12 and 24 hours (p<0.05). Conclusion : PPT-CSO-SA can effectively enhance the glioma cellular uptake of drugs, inhibit glioma cells proliferation and migration, induce G2/M phase arrest of them, and promote their apoptosis. It may be a promising anti-glioma nano-drug.
