This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of age and dietary linolenic acid content and the linolenic acid/linoleic acid (LAN/LA) ratio on the brain lipid composition and membrane-bound enzyme, acetylcholinesterase(AchE) activities. AchE was selected as a test case for the relationship between cell lipid composition and cell membrane function. The male rats were fed diets with 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 of LNA/LA ratio within 8% LNA(H-LNA) or 4% LNA(L-LAN) of total fatty acid content for different feeding period(1, 4, 12 month). The fats used s source were sesame oil, perilla oil, soybean oil and beef tallow. The AchE activity of brain crude synaptosomal fraction was reduced with advancing age, showing 20-30% reduction in 12M compared with 1 M, and the P/C ratio was reduced in old rats. In 1 and 4 monthed rats, AchE activites was higher in H-LAN-0.2 and L-LNA-0.2 and 0.4 group. In accordance with rising of AchE activities was higher in H-LNA-0.2 and L-LNA-0.2 and 0.4 group. In accordance with rising of AchE activities, the PC/PE ratio increasedin those groups. Paricularly in L-LNA, the PC/PE ratio increased as the AchE activites for decline of membrane fluidity with increasing cholesterol and decreasing P/C ratio when rats were old. Also, AchE activity increaed with increasing PC/PE ratio which depended on the dietary LNA/LA ratio within each LNA content. Therefore, it is concluded that the lipid composition of cell membrane influenced the AchE activiteis, which was mediated by aging and the modification of dietary LNA/LA ratio.

식물 세포의 미토콘드리아와 엽록체는 광 증감제로 작용할 가능성이 있는 여러 가지 색소들을 함유하고 있다. 이들 색소들은 대부분이 막에 결합되어있으며 청색광 영역에서 강한 흡수대를 가지므로 청색광하에서 노출된 이들 소기관에서는 활성산소가 발생되어 막의 구조적, 기능적 피해를 유발하는 요인이 된다. 활성산소의 광발생에 따른 막구조의 변화는 일차적으로 막지질 지방산성분의 산화적 파괴에 기인할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 식물이 고광도의 가시광선(특히 청색광선)하에서 일어나는 막지질 지방산의 산화적 파괴에 지방산 대신 상대적으로 둔감한 포화 지방산의 조성비를 높일 것이라고 가정하고, 이를 뒷받침할만한 실험결과를 얻었다. 즉, 광질이 서로 다른 가시광선 처리조건하에서 생장중인 식물 및 그 소기관들을 대상으로 막지질의 과산화, 지방산조성 및 불포화도, 막결합 단백질의 활성 등을 측정하고 이를 제시하였다.

Crude polysaccharides from rapeseed meal (PRM) were extracted with 0.3% NaOH aqueous solution, followed by further purifications and 2 fractions, namely PRM1 and PRM2, were separated with a DEAE-cellulose DE-52 column. Their primary compositions were analysed and antioxidant activity was determined, including scavenging activity toward superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and nitric oxide radicals, reducing power, and inhibitory effects against the microsomal lipid peroxidation, compared to that of L-ascorbic acid. The results indicated that PRM1 and PRM2 exhibited not only good reducing power and inhibitory effects on the microsomal lipid peroxidation, but also strong scavenging activity toward superoxide anion radicals, nitric oxide radicals, and hydroxyl radicals. In addition, positive correlations were also observed between the superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and the protein contents of the polysaccharides, and the reducing power and the sulfate contents. These findings thus clearly suggest the polysaccharides possess direct and potent antioxidant activity.

Miniaturized sensors capable of both sensitive and selective real-time monitoring of target analytes are tremendously valuable for various applications ranging from hazard detection to medical diagnostics. The wide-spread use of such sensors is currently limited due to insufficient selectivity for target molecules. We developed selective nanocoatings by combining trinitrotoluene (TNT) receptors bound to conjugated polydiacetylene (PDA) with single-walled carbon nanotube-field effect transistors (SWNT-FET). Selective binding events between TNT molecules and phage display derived TNT receptors were effectively transduced to sensitive SWNT-FET conductance sensors through the PDA coating. The resulting sensors exhibited unprecedented 1 fM sensitivity toward TNT in real time, with excellent selectivity over various similar aromatic compounds. Our biomimetic receptor coating approach may be useful for the development of sensitive and selective micro and nanoelectronic sensor devices for various other target analytes.

Interaction of the the rust fungus Puccinia miscanthi with the biofuel plant Miscanthus sinensis during the teliospore phase was investigated by light and electron microscopy. P. miscanthi telia were oval-shaped and present on both the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces. Teliospores were brown, one-septate (two-celled), and had pedicels attached to one end. Transmission electron microscopy revealed numerous electron-translucent lipid globules in the cytoplasm of teliospores. Extensive cell wall dissolution around hyphae was not observed in the host tissues beneath the telia. Hyphae were found between mesophyll cells in the leaf tissues as well as in host cells. Intracellular hyphae, possibly haustoria, possessed electron-dense fungal cell walls encased by an electron-transparent fibrillar extrahaustorial sheath that had an electron-dense extrahaustorial membrane. The infected host cells appeared to maintain their membrane-bound structures such as nuclei and chloroplasts. These results suggest that the rust fungus maintains its biotrophic phase with most mesophyll cells of M. sinensis. Such a nutritional mode would permit the rust fungus to obtain food reserves for transient growth in the course of host alteration.

Doxorubicin induces oxidative stress leading to cardiotoxicity causing electrocardiogram abnormalities and increases in biomarkers associated with toxicity. Green tea extract (GTE) is reported to possess antioxidant activity mainly via its polyphenolic constituent, catechins. This study was intended to determine the effect of various doses of GTE (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg/day p.o. for 30 days) on doxorubicin-induced electrocardiographic and biochemical changes in rat heart. The latter included lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase in serum and superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione, as well as membrane bound enzymes like $Na^+K^+ATPase,\;Ca^{2+}ATPase,\;Mg^{2+}ATPase$ and decreased lipid peroxidation in heart tissue Results demonstrated that rats which received GTE were less susceptible to such changes indicating protection afforded by GTE.

Wool samples were treated by potassium tert-Butoxide(t-BuOK) in anhydrous tert-butanol to remove the bound surface lipid-layer, and the weight loss behaviors in protease solution and dyeabilities of the samples were studies. The C/N ratio of the surface of the t-BuOK-treated wool was shown to be 4.3 from XPS analysis. From SEM pictures any remarkable change in the shape of surface curticle during the proteasw treatment was not observed regardless of prior t-BuOK treatment. Dyeing rate and equilibrium adsorption of Orange II, a typical levelling type acid dye, on wool were not changed by protease or t-BuOK treatment, but those of Milling Cyanine 5R, a typical milling type acid dye, on wool were greatly enhanced by t-BuOK treatment in spite that, from alkali and urea-bisulfite solubilities, no damage on the inner part of wool fiber was expected by t-BuOK treatment.

모발표면에는 독특한 형태의 지방산이 있다. 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA)는 모발 큐티클의 최외각 층에 공유결합된 특이한 ante-iso 형태의 지방산이다. 18-MEA 층은 CMC의 ${\beta}$-층 위에 위치하면서 모발의 외부 표면에 표면에너지와 마찰저항 을 낮춰준다. 18-MEA 분자의 높은 유동성은 계면 전단력을 감소시켜 외부로부터 전달되는 지질들이 쉽게 퍼지도록 한다. 본 연구에서는 C10 - 40 isoalkyl acid의 말단에 관능기로 N-hydroxyl succinimidyl ester를 도입하여 모발 표면의 공유결합 지방산 층을 회복시켜보고 자 하였다. 모발 표면의 재 소수화를 확인하기 위하여 접촉각을 측정하였다. 서로 다른 습도 조건(40, 55, 70 %RH)에서 모발의 내부 수 분 함유량은 전자 수분 분석기를 이용하여 실시하였다. Hydroxysuccinimidyl C10 - 40 Isoalkyl Acidate (HCIA)로 처리한 모발의 표면은 큐티클을 접착하는 것과 같이 지방산 단분자층이 공유결합을 형성하여 큐티클의 균열을 채워줌으로써 매끄럽고 균일할 것으로 생각되었다. 이러한 접착 효과는 atomic force microscope (AFM) 영상의 라인 프로필(line profile)을 통해서 확인되었다. 따라서 모발 내부 구 성 물질과 수분이 쉽게 용출되지 않고, 외기의 습도가 변하는 경우에도 최적의 모발 습도가 항상 유지된다. AFM을 사용한 lateral force microscopy (LFM) 결과에 따르면 HCIA를 처리한 모발 표면의 마찰력이 감소되었고, 이에 대해 15회 샴푸 과정을 수행한 이후에도 동일한 마찰력 값을 나타내었다.
