This study was to investigate the effect of improve forelimb sensorimotor function and neurotrophic factor(GAP-43) expression when differing an application time of tDCS in ischemic brain injury rat model(pre, $1^{st}$, $7^{th}$, $14^{th}$). Focal ischemic brain injury was induced in 80 Sprague-Dawley rats through middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) by 'Longa' method. And then experimental groups were randomly divided into four groups; GroupI: MCAO induction, GroupII: application of tDCS(10 min) after MCAO induction, GroupIII: application of tDCS(20 min) after MCAO induction, GroupIV: application of tDCS(30 min) after MCAO induction. Modified limb placing test and single pellet reaching test were performed to test forelimb sensorimotor function. And the histological examination was also observed through the immunohistochemistric response of GAP-43(growth-associated protein-43) in the cerebral cortex. In modified limb placing test, groupIII(p<0.05) showed significantly improve than the other groups on $14^{th}$). day. In single pellet reaching test, groupIII(p<0.01) and groupIV(p<0.05) significantly improved on $14^{th}$) day. And in immunohistochemistric response of GAP-43, group III showed significantly positive response than the other groups on $14^{th}$ day. These results suggest that the intensity(0.1 mA)/time(20 min) condition of tDCS application has a significant impact on the sensorimotor functional recovery in focal ischemic brain injury rat models.

The goal of this paper is to define p-adic Hardy sums and p-adic q-higher-order Hardy-type sums. By using these sums and p-adic q-higher-order Dedekind sums, we construct p-adic continuous functions for an odd prime. These functions contain padic q-analogue of higher-order Hardy-type sums. By using an invariant p-adic q-integral on $\mathbb{Z}_p$, we give fundamental properties of these sums. We also establish relations between p-adic Hardy sums, Bernoulli functions, trigonometric functions and Lambert series.

The 2-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) which was enzymatically glucosylated with the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19] from Bacillus sp. JK-43 has been reported previously. The presnet experiments examined the optimal conditons for the productio of AA-2G from AA and soluble starch, and characterized the properties of the CGTase from Bacillus sp. JK-43. The reaction mixture for the maximal production of AA-2G was followings; 12% total substrate concentration, 1,400 usits/mL of CGTase and a mixing ratio of 2 : 3(g or AA : g of soluble starch). Under this condition, 1.76mM of AA-2G, which corresponded to 2.53% yield based on AA, was produced after incubation for 24hrs at 45$^{\circ}C$ (pH 5.5). The optimum pH and temperature for the CGTase activity were 6.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH 5.5 to 9.5, and at temperature up to 5$0^{\circ}C$. The thermostability of the enzyme could be enhanced up to 6$0^{\circ}C$ by the addition of 30mM CaCl2.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of ginkgo biloba extract, ginkgolide A and B and aspirin on SK-N-MC, human neuroblastoma cell viability and mRNA expression of growth associated protein43 (GAP43), Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), B-cell lymphoma2 (Bcl2) and protein53 (p53) gene in hypoxia and reperfusion condition. Methods: SK-N-MC cells were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) media in $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cells were cultured for 8 hours in non-glucose media and hypoxic condition and for 12 hours in normal media and $O_2$ concentration. Cell survival rate was measured with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent assay. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to estimate mRNA levels of GAP43, MAP2, Bcl2, and p53 genes. Results: The ginkgolide A and B increased viable cell number decreased in hypoxic and reperfused condition. The co-treatment of ginkgolide B with aspirin also increased the number of viable cells, however, there was no additive effect. Although there was no increase of mRNA expression of GAP43, MAP2, and Bcl2 in SK-N-MC cells with individual treatment of ginkgolide A, B or aspirin in hypoxic and reperfused condition, the co-treatment of ginkgolide A or B with aspirin significantly increased GAP43 and Bcl2 mRNA levels. In MAP2, only the co-treatment of ginkgolide A and aspirin showed increasing effect. The mRNA expression of p53 had no change in all treating conditions. Conclusion: This study suggests that the combined treatments of Ginkgo biloba extracts and aspirin increase the regeneration of neuroblastoma cells injured by hypoxia and reperfusion.

To produce staphylokinase (SAK) in B. subtilis WB700, media optimization was carried out and the operation of batch and fed-batch fermentation were compared. Tryptone is a good nitrogen source and its optimum concentration in modified super rich(MSR) media is 15 g/L. When glucose is used as a limiting carbon source in the MSR media, 5 g/L of an optimum glucose concentration was identified for the SAK production under the control of P43 promoter. As the expression of P43 promoter is controlled by the limitation of oxygen, the SAK production was controlled at the 30% DO level in the fed-batch fermentation. Unexpectedly, batch fermentation using MSR media showed 1.5 times higher yield of SAK than that of the fed-batch fermentation. The main cause of the results comes from not achieving higher cell concentration in the fed-batch fermentation and the optimum expression level of P43 promoter under oxygen or nutrient limitations. We could not achieve the increase in cell concentration by any means in batch culture as well as fed-batch culture. The highest yield in the batch culture was 2880 units of SAK activity and 455 mg/L of secreted SAK.

In this current study, we aim to give some applications on fourth-order differential subordination for p-valent meromorphic functions in the region U^* = {z ∈ ℂ : 0 < |z| < 1} = U∖{0}, where U = {z ∈ ℂ : |z| < 1} , involving the linear operator 𝓛^*_pf. By making use of basic concepts in theory of the fourth-order, we find new outcomes.

This paper describes a methode to extract yellow pigment from curcuma and turmeric containing natural color curcumin whose target color indexes of L, a, and b were 87.0 7.43, and 88.2, respectively. The pH range and extraction temperature used for the reaction surface analysis method were from pH 3 to pH 7 and between 40 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively for both natural products. A central synthesis planning model combined with the method was used to obtain optimal extraction conditions to produce the color close to target. Results and regression equations show that the color space and difference of curcuma and turmeric have the greatest influence on the value. In the case of curcuma, the optimum conditions to satisfy all of the response theoretical values of color coordinates of L (74.67), a (5.69), and b (70.08) were at the pH and temperature of 3.43 and $54.8^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimentally obtained L, a, and b, values under optimal conditions were 72.92, 5.32, and 72.17, respectively. For the case of turmeric, theoretical numerical color coordinates of L, a, and b, under the pH of 5.22 and temperature of $50.4^{\circ}C$ were 82.02, 7.43, and 72.86 respectively. Whereas, the experiment results were L (81.85), a (5.39), and b (71.58). Both cases showed an error range within 1%. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a low error rate when applying the central synthesis planning model to the reaction surface analysis method as an optimization process of the dye extraction of natural raw materials.

A bacterial strain producing extracellular mannanases was isolated from soil of chestnut tree farm located in Gongju city of Korea by enrichment culture using Avicel as a carbon source. 16S rDNA sequence of the isolate YB-43 was highly homologous to those of genus Cellulosimicrobium strains with sequence similarities of above 99.6%. Mannanase productivity was significantly increased when the Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43 was grown in the presence of locust bean gum (LBG) or konjac. The mannanases were partially purified to be mannanase A (ManA) and mannanase C (ManC) by DEAE-Sepharose column and Q-Sepharose column chromatography from the culture filtrate of Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43 grown in LB medium supplemented with 0.7% LBG for 24 h. The partially purified ManA showed the highest activity at $55^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5, while ManC activity was optimal at $65^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. ManA was stable up to $40^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, but ManC activity decreased significantly even after 1 h at $20^{\circ}C$. ManA and ManC showed difference from each other according to their substrate specificities and predominant products resulting from the mannanase hydrolysis for mannooligosaccharides. As a result, Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43 was found to produce two different kinds of mannanases.
