  • In order to study the effect of air pollution on the ventilatory function of lung, pulmonary function studies were carried out in middle school students (male) living isn Sasang industrial area more than 10 years, and were compared with those of control group. The following results were obtained; 1. Lung capacities were normal in observed & control group, and were not significantly different between two groups. 2. The respective parameters of ventilatory function test of observed group were smaller than that of control group, but FVC, $FEV_1$, $FEV_1/FVC$, FEF 25-75%, Vmax 50, MVV of two groups were normal. 3. PEFR, Vmax 25, Vmax 75 of observed group were significantly decreased, and there were statistically significant differences between two groups in FEF 25-75% (p < 0.01), Vmax 25 (p < 0.05), Vmax 50 (p < 0.01), Vmax 75 (p < 0.05), PEFR (p < 0.05) and MVV (p < 0.02).

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate hemodynamics of intracranial blood flow for obtain clinically useful reference values and assess cerebral hemodynamics change with aging. 81 normal Korean subjects(age, 14$\thicksim\∼\thicksim$70 years) examined who han no history of neurologic disease and the subjects divided into group A(age, 14$\∼$39 years), group B(age, 40$\∼$59 years) and group C(age, 60$\∼$70 years). Transcranial doppler was use for measured the maximum velocity(Vmax), mean velocity(Vmean), pulsatility index(PI), resistive index(RI), stenosis index(SI) and depth of sample volume. Vmax was 99.1 1cm/s, Vmean was 63.57cm/s, PI was 0.85, RI was 0.56, SI was 31.94 and depth of sample volume was 52.35 in middle cerebral artery. Vmax was 85.54cm/s, Vmean was 52.52cm/s, PI was 0.82, RI was 0.55, SI was 34.48 and depth of sample volume was 73.62 in anterior cerebral artery. Vmax was 75.45cm/s, Vmean was 45.60cm/s, PI was 0.82, RI was 0.58, SI was 36.14 and depth of sample volume was 62.35 in posterior cerebral artery. Vmax was 70.44cm/s, Vmean was 47.07cm/s, PI was 0.87, RI was 0.58, SI was 29.83 and depth of sample volume was 75.23 in basilar artery Vmax was 63.92, Vmean was 42.42, PI was 0.89, RI was 0.58, SI was 29.89 and depth of sample volume was 66.65 in vertebral artery. Vmax and Vmean was significantly decreased with increasing age in middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery, basilar artery and vertebral artery And PI and RI was significantly increased with increasing age in basilar artery and vertebral artery. And I suggest that transcranial doppler sonography can be used as one of useful clinical tool for detection of cerebral hemodynamics.

  • The actomyosin and myosin of the squid at 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest Vmax and the actomyosin and myosin of the clam at 35$^{\circ}C$ and HMM at $25^{\circ}C$ showed the highest Vmax the thermostability of myofibrillar proteins is changed greatly according to the difference of KCI concentration. The myofibrillar proteins of the clam showed a higher thermostability than the myofibrillar proteins of the squid. When 3% ethanol solution was added and heated myofibrillar proteins, denaturation was accelerated and it was shown that there was a difference between animals in the denaturation velocity.

  • The main objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of NSC and HSC beams with stirrups. Main variables were the concrete compressive strength and amount of vertical stirrups. A total of 24 beams was tested; 4 beams without web reinforcement and 20 beams with web reinforcement in the form of vertical stirrups. Main variables were 2 different compressive strengths of concrete of 26.9MPa and 63.5MPa, 5 different spacing of stirrups of 200, 150, 120, 100 and 90mm. Therefore, the results were compared with the strengths predicted by the equations of ACI code 318-99 and other researchers. The shear reinforcement ratio, where the test beams were failed simultaneously under flexure and shear, were $0.63{\rho}_{vmax}$ for NSC beams and $0.53{\rho}_{vmax}$ for HSC beams, respectively. The ACI code equation was found to be very conservative for shear design.

  • The purpose of the present experiment is to make certain the exsistence of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) in mouse oocytes and confirm its possible role on meiotic resumption. The results showed two types of cAMP in the oocytes with different Michaelis constants (Km) with specific maximum (Vmax); The Km and Vmax of one of two types of PDE were estimated at $0.14 \\pm 0.01 \\muM$ and $0.42 \\pm 0.07$ fmol cAMP hydrolyzed/oocyte/minute, and the other at $14.5 \\pm 2.0 \\muM$ and $2.2 \\pm 0.5$ fmol cAMP hydrolyzed/oocyte/minute. cAMP hydrolysis by PDE was reversibly inhibited in vitro by presence of theophylline or isobutyl-methyl-xanthine (IBMX), which is well known as an inhibitor of oocyte maturation. Consequently, it can be assumed that maturation of oocyte is affected by the high level of intracellular cAMP, and its level is well maintained by presence of PDE inhibitor, such as theophylline and IBMX.

  • Polygalacturonase activity was not detected at turning stage but were 55.01 and 206.70 units/100g -fr. wt. in mature and soft persimmon, respectively. Polygalacturonase have two isoenzymes and its molecular weight was estimated to be 55,000 doltons by the method of gel filtration. Vmax and Km of polygalacturonase 1 were 0.195$\mu$ mole reducing-sugar/$m\ell$/30 min. and 3.50mg/$m\ell$, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme appeared to 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 3.5, respectively. Polygalacturonase I had Vmax of 0.110m mo1e reducing-sugar/$m\ell$/30min. and Km value of 2.50mg/$m\ell$, The optimum temperature and pH of polygalcturonase II appear 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 4.0, respectively. Polygalacturonase I was fairly stable at 6$0^{\circ}C$while polygalacturonase II appeared to be stable up to 4$0^{\circ}C$.

  • studies of olefin oxidation using Al(III)-porphyrin complexes as catalyst are investigated in CH2Cl2, in which NaClO is used as terminal oxidant. Porphyrins are TPP(5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphyrin) and (p-X)TPP(X=CH3O, CH3, F, Cl). Olefins are styrene and (p-X)styrene (X=CH3O, CH3, Cl, Br). The values of Km and Vmax are calculated from the Michaelis-Menten equation. According to the substituents of substrate and catalyst, kinetic parameters will be measured. Investigating the correlation between the Michaelis-Menten rate parameters and the substituent constants, we were able to analyze the influence on the changes of catalytic activity or the rate determining step during the process of the formation and the dissociation of the M-oxo-olefin.

  • Biochemical characteristics and activities of glutathione-S-transferases(GSTs) and carboxylesterase extracted from soybean and corn plants treated with quizalofop-ethyl were investigated. Km value and Vmax of GSTs extracted from soybean and corn plants were $6.7{\times}10^{-3}M$ nmole/mg/min, 50, 20 nmole/mg/min, respectively. Optimum pH of carboxylesterase from soybean and corn was 7.0. Km value and Vmax of carboxylesterase extracted from soybean and corn plants were $4.2{\times}10^{-4}M$, $2.5{\times}10^{-4}M$ nmole/mg/min, 33, 10 nmole/mg/min, respectively. GSTs and carboxylesterase activity were reduced by quizalofop-ethyl. GSTs and carboxylesterse activity of corn was more reduced than that of soybean. When soybean and corn were treated by 80 ppm of quizalofopethyl. Soybean recovered after 10 days elapsing, but corn withered after 3days elapsing.

  • 가토 신피질에서 분리한 brush border membrane (BBM)과 basolateral membrane vesicle (BLM)에서 유기 음이온인 p-aminohippuric acid (PAH)와 유기 양이온인 tetraethylammonium (TEA)의 이동에 대한 동력학적 분석을 하였다. BLM에서 PAH에 대한 Km과 Vmax값은 각각 $0.34{\pm}0.02\;mM$$0.22{\pm}0.07\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였으며 BBM에서 각 값은 $8.46{\pm}0.57\;mM$$4.43{\pm}0.40\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였다. BLM에서 용액내 Na의 제거는 PAH에 대한 Km 값에는 영향없이 Vmax 값을 변화시켰다. BBM에서 TEA이동에 대한 Km과 Vmax 값은 각각 $0.55{\pm}0.15\;mM$$1.04{\pm}0.23\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였으며 BLM에서 각 값은 $0.46{\pm}0.04\;mM$$0.61{\pm}0.06\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였다. BLM에서 측정한 유기 이온들의 이동에 대한 Km 값이 신절편이나 분리된 tubule에서 보고된 값과 일치함을 보였으며 이러한 결과는 신세뇨관 세포막을 통한 유기 이온들의 이동 특성이 membrane vesicle을 분리하는 과정에서 변하지 않았음을 가르킨다.
