Adenylate cyclase 효소를 활성화시키는 약물인 Forskolin의 흰쥐 적출관류 부신으로부터 Ach, excess $K^+$, McN-A-343 및 caffein에 의한 catecholamines (CA) 분비작용에 대한 영향을 검색하고, 그 기전을 규명코자 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 연구결과를 얻었다. Forskolin (1.0 uM)은 흰쥐 부신적출정맥내로 1분동안 관류시킨 후 Ach(50 ug), excess $K^+$(56 mM), DMPP (100 uM) 및 caffeine (0.3 mM)에 의한 CA 분비작용을 현저히 증강시켰으나 McN-A-343에 의한 CA분비작용에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. Forskolin 자체는 CA분비작용을 일으키지 못하였다. 또한 세포의 calcium을 제거한 상태에서도 위 약물에 의한 CA분비작용에 대하여 유의한 증강작용을 나타내었다. 그러나 McN-A-343의 CA작용에는 영향이 없었으나 위의 약물의 CA분비작용을 유의하게 강화시켰다. Cyclic AMP를 증가시키는 약물로 알려져 있는 dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP)는 300 uM농도를 1분간 관류시 Ach, excess $K^+$ 및 DMPP의 CA 분비작용을 뚜렷하게 증강시켰으나 McN-A-343 및 caffeine의 CA분비에는 별다른 영향이 없었다. DBcAMP 자체도 CA분비작용에는 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 또한 DBcAMP는 세포의 칼슘제거시에도 위의 약물에 의한 CA분비작용을 의의있게 증강시켰다. 그렇지만, McN-A-343의 CA분비작용은 증강시키지 못하였다. 이상의 연구결과로 보아 Forskolin는 adenylate cyclase를 활성화 시킴으로써 cyclic AMP 농도를 증가시켜 세포내로 칼슘유입을 증강시키며, 또한 세포내의 칼슘이동에도 관여함으로써 cholinergic nicotinic stimulation 및 depolarization에 의한 CA분비작용을 상승시키는 것으로 사료되어진다.

Single crystals of fully dehydrated and fully $Ca^{2+}$-exchanged zeolites A (|$Ca_6$|[$Si_{12}Al_{12}O_{48}$]-LTA) and X (|$Ca_{46}$| [$Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}$]-FAU) were brought into contact with Te in fine pyrex capillaries at 623 K and 673 K, respectively, for 5 days. Crystal structures of Te-sorbed $Ca^{2+}$-exchanged zeolites A and X have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at 294 K in the cubic space group Pm$\overline{3}$ m (a = 12.288(2) $\AA$) and Fd $\overline{3}$ (a = 25.012(1) $\AA$), respectively. The crystal structures of pale red-brown |$Ca_6Te_3$|[$Si_{12}Al_{12}O_{48}$]-LTA and black coloured |$Ca_{46}Te_8$| [$Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}$]-FAU have been refined to the final error indices of $R_1/wR_2\;=\;0.1096/0.2768\;and\;R_1/wR_2$ = 0.1054/ 0.2979 with 204 and 282 reflections for which $F_o\;>\;4{\sigma}(F_o)$, respectively. In the structure of |Ca6Te3|[$Si_{12}Al_{12}O_{48}$]- LTA, 6 $Ca^{2+}$ ions per unit cell were found at one crystallographic positions, on 3-fold axes equipoints of opposite 6-rings. In |$Ca_{46}Te_8$|[$Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}$]-FAU, 46 $Ca^{2+}$ ions per unit cell were found at four crystallographically distinct positions: 3 $Ca^{2+}$ ions at Ca(1) fill the 16 equivalent positions of site I, 21 $Ca^{2+}$ ions at Ca(2) fill the 32 equivalent positions of site I’, 10 and 12 $Ca^{2+}$ ions at Ca(3) and Ca(4), respectively, fill the 32 equivalent positions of site II. The Te clusters are stabilized by interaction with cations and framework oxygen. In sodalite units, Te-Te distances of 2.86(10) and 2.69(4) $\AA$ in zeolites A and X, respectively exhibited strong covalent properties due to their interaction with $Ca^{2+}$ ions. On the other hand, in large cavity and supercage, those of 2.99(3) and 2.76(11) $\AA$ in zeolites A and X, respectively, showed ionic properties because alternative ionic interaction was formed through framework oxygen at one end and $Ca^{2+}$ cations at the other end.

The sufficient myoplasmic $Ca^{++}$ to react with the contractile proteins is necessary to induce contraction of a cardiac muscle. These $Ca^{++}$ for the production of muscle contraction are supplied from the three recognized $Ca^{++}$ sources; internal $Ca^{++}$ release via the sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR), $Ca^{++}$ influx through a gated Ca-channel in the membrane as a Isi, and $Ca^{++}$ transport by the mechanism of Na/ca exchange. However, it is still controversial which $Ca^{++}$ sources act as a main contributor for myoplasmic $Ca^{++}$, Therefore, this study was undertaken in order to examine the $Ca^{++}$ sources for the contraction of frog ventricle. There is evidence that the SR is sparse in frog ventricular fibers, and that T-tubules are absent. Isolated ventricular strips of frog, Rana nigromaculata, were used in this experiment. Isometric tension was recorded by force transducer, and membrane potentials of ventricular muscles were measured through the intracellular glass microelectrodes, which were filled with 3M KCI and had resistance of $30{\pm}50M{\Omega}$. All experiments were performed at room temperature in a tris·buffered Ringer solution which was aerated with 100% $O_2$. Isotonic high K, low Na solution was used to induce K-contracture, K-contracture appeared at the concentration of 20 to 30mM-KCI and was potentiated in parallel with the increase in KCI concentration. The contracture had two components: an initial rapid phasic and a subsequent slow tonic contractile responses. Membrane Potentials measured at normal Ringer solution(2.5mM KCI) was -90 to -100 mV, and decreased linearly as the KCI concentration increased; -55mV at 20mM.KCI, -45mV at 30 mM.KCI, -30 mY at 50 mM.KCI, and -12 mV at 100 mM.KCI. K-contracture was evoked firstly at the membrane potential of -45 mV. The contracture was potentiated by the increase of bathing extracellular $Ca^{++}$ concentration. However, in the absence of $Ca^{++}$ the contracture was almost not induced by 50 mM.KCI solution. Caffeine(20mM) in normal Ringer solution, which is known to release $Ca^{++}$ from SR without substantial effects on the $Ca^{++}$ fluxes across the surface membrane, did not affect membrane potential and also not initiate contracture, but the caffeine in 20 mM-KCI Ringer solution produced a contracture. Above results suggest that the main $Ca^{++}$ source for the K·contracture of frog ventricle is $Ca^{++}$ influx through the voltage-dependent Ca-channel, and that in the K-contracture at the concentration of 100 mM-KCI, the mechanism of Na/ca exchange also partly contributs, in addition to the $Ca^{++}$ influx.

Elastase 억제활성에서는 대조군, 1% CA, 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군의 결과 값은 각각 26.063, 26.336, 28.285%로 나타났다. Tyrosinase 억제활성에서는 대조군 26.375%, 1% CA 처리군 67.598%, 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군은 77.891% 순으로 높게 나타났다. 모든 분석 치에서 대조군과 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군 간에는 5% 내에서 유의성 차이가 있었다. 본 결과를 통해 ASM처리가 열처리과정에서 기능성성분과 생리활성의 저하를 억제하여주는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며 새로운 산미료로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We have previously shown that, in circular muscle cells of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) isolated by enzymatic digestion, contraction in response to maximally effective doses of acetylcholine (ACh) or Inositol Triphosphate ($IP_3$) depends on the release of $Ca^{2+}$ from intracellular stores and activation of a $Ca6{2+}$-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent pathway. On the contrary, maintenance of LES tone, and response to low doses of ACh or $IP_3$ depend on a protein kinase C (PKC) mediated pathway. In the present investigation, we have examined requirements for $Ca6{2+}$ regulation of the interaction between CaM- and PKC-dependent pathways in LES contraction. Thapsigargin (TG) treatment for 30 min dose dependently reduced ACh-induced contraction of permeable LES cells in free $Ca6{2+}$ medium. ACh-induced contraction following the low level of reduction of $Ca6{2+}$ stores by a low dose of TG ($10^{-9}{\;}M$) was blocked by the CaM antagonist, CCS9343B but not by the PKC antagonists chelerythrine or H7, indicating that the contraction is CaM-dependent. After maximal reduction in intracellular $Ca{2+}$ from $Ca6{2+}$stores by TG ($10^{-6}{\;}M$), ACh-induced contraction was blocked by chelerythrine or H7, but not by CCS9343B, indicating that it is PKC-dependent. In normal $Ca^{2+}$medium, the contraction by ACh after TG ($10^{-9}{\;}M$) treatment was also CaM-dependent, whereas the contraction by ACh after TG ($10^{-9}{\;}M$) treatment was PKC-dependent. We examined whether PKC activation was inhibited by activated CaM. CCS 7343B Inhibited the CaM-induced contraction, but did not inhibit the DAC-induced contraction. CaM inhibited the DAC-induced contraction in the presence of CCS 9343B. This inhibition by CaM was $Ca{2+}$dependent. These data are consistent with the view that the switch from a PKC-dependent pathway to a CaM dependent pathway can occur and can be regulated by cytosolic $Ca{2+}$ in the LES.

망간은 다양한 산화수로 존재하며 Mn(II)은 망간 중 가장 이동성이 높은 종으로 식물에 독성을 미치며 성장을 제한한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 다양한 흡착제를 이용하여 망간을 안정화함으로써 망간의 독성을 저감시키는 것이다. Ferrihydrite, schwertmannite, goethite를 합성하여 XRD로 확인하였고 망간 흡착에 사용하였다. Hematite는 구매하여 망간 흡착제로 사용하였다. CaNO₃, CaSO₄, CaCO₃와 같은 칼슘 화합물은 pH를 높이고 망간을 산화시키기 위해 사용하였다. 망간의 흡착을 위해 다양한 농도의 Mn(II) 용액을 4가지 철산화물, CaNO₃, CaSO₄, CaCO₃와 24시간 반응시킨 후 여과하여 용액에 남아있는 망간 농도를 ICP-OES로 분석하고 망간의 흡착율과 흡착등온식을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 철 산화물 중에서는 hematite에 의한 망간 흡착율이 가장 높았으며 ferrihydrite가 다음으로 흡착율이 높았다. 칼슘 화합물의 경우 CaCO₃>CaNO₃>CaSO₄ 순으로 흡착율이 높았다. CaCO₃은 hematite보다 높은 흡착율을 보였고 CaCO₃를 처리하면 pH를 증가시켜 망간의 독성을 감소하는 데 가장 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 시멘트 클링커 제조에 사용되는 탄산염 광물인 석회석(CaCO₃)을 CO₂가 결합되어 있지 않은 탈탄산 원료를 사용하여 제조 공정 중에 발생하는 CO₂를 저감하고자 하는 연구로 다양한 산업부산물 중 폐콘크리트에 부착되어 있는 시멘트페이스트를 이용하고자 하였다. 일반적으로 시멘트용 석회석은 최소한 CaCO₃의 함유량이 80% 이상(CaO, 44% 이상)의 것을 사용해야만 시멘트 클링커의 품질을 확보할 수 있다. 하지만 폐콘크리트 미분말의 CaO 함량은 평균 20% 정도로 시멘트 클링커 원료로 사용하기 위하여 CaO 함량을 35% 이상으로 조성비를 올려줘야 이용이 가능하다. 따라서 폐콘크리트 미분말의 조성 광물 경도차이를 이용하여 경도가 상대적으로 낮은 CaO 형태의 광물을 선택적으로 분쇄하여 분급 및 체가름을 할 경우 CaO 함량을 35% 이상 상승시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 분쇄 공정을 통해 경도가 상대적으로 낮은 CaO를 함유한 광물들을 선택적으로 분쇄하여 효율적으로 CaO와 SiO₂ 외 기타 성분을 분리하는 최적 조건에 대하여 실험적 및 통계적으로 검토·분석하였다. 시멘트 크링커 원료로서 탈탄산된 35% 이상 CaO를 함유한 폐콘크리트 미분말 제조를 위한 최적 분쇄 조건 실험 결과, 분쇄 시간 5분 이내, 피분쇄물 종류 30mm, 피분쇄물양 1.0 이상이 최적 조건인 것을 알 수 있었지만 단일 입도의 분쇄물이 아닌 혼합입도의 분쇄물에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The internal breakdown of Fuji apple during CA storage classified as watercore breakdown, low temperature breakdown and CO2 injury. This study was undertaken to investigate the watercore breakdown injury factors of Korean Fuji apple during CA storage. The development of internal breakdown was more increased with the larger size, the later harvest time and the hither CO2 gas level. But in internal breakdown fruit of the titratable acidity and soluble solid decreased significantly, the pH of fruit juice and the production of carbon dioxide was greatly increased. The best gas levels of CA storage was 2% oxygen and 3% carbon dioxide. Thus, the predictable parameters of internal breakdown of fruit were increase in pH on decrease titratable acidity within 2 months of CA storage, increase carbon dioxide. So, it was found that the best CA sotrage for internal breakdown control of fruit during CA storage was delayed CA storage methods after low temperature storage immediate harvest of apple and than took a step. The delayed CA storage after low temperature storage for 2 months was more effective in the prevention of development of internal breakdown than immediate CA storage after harvest.

The functional properties of cheese, such as texture and melt, are known to be controlled by several important parameters. Recently, the characteristics of Ca in cheeses, especially the form of Ca (insoluble (INSOL) or soluble) and the shift in Ca equilibrium (i.e., from INSOL to soluble Ca), during aging has received a lot of attention. The INSOL form of Ca, which is present as a structural form in casein, plays a critical role in determining the functional properties of cheese during the early period of ripening (~1 mon). It seems that there is always a reduction of INSOL Ca content in cheese during ripening and there are also factors that can affect the shift in Ca equilibrium. These factors may include the composition of cheese milk, cheese manufacturing pH, acid development during aging, adopting curd-washing in various methods, pre-acidification of milk, etc. There have been many studies showing that the rheological and melting properties of cheese during ripening were significantly (p<0.05) affected by the shift in Ca equilibrium. Therefore, for cheese makers, it is now possible to predict/manage the functional properties of cheese by monitoring and controlling Ca equilibrium in cheese during aging.
