The ${\alpha}-and\;{\beta}$-isomer of 4-nitroazoxybenzenes have been separated by liquid chromatography and their U.V. spectra were examined. The n${\to}{\pi}^{\ast}$ transition band of the compounds did not appear, likewise the cases of other compounds of the series. Transition band of the new isomer were as usual as those of other azoxy-compounds, whereas the ${\pi}{\to}{\pi}^{\ast}$ transition band of the other isomer which is reported in the literature shown peculier hypochromic shift and hypochromic effect. From the spectroscopic point of view it is very likely that the new isomer (m.p. $184-5^{\circ}C$) is ${\alpha}$-isomer and the other one (m.p. $152^{circ}C$) is ${\beta}$-isomer contrary to the literature.

Basically all cells have the recovery mechanisms from the shift of intracellular pH (pHi). Many mechanisms were found and characterized. Generally the recovery mechanisms from acidosis are Na$\^$＋/-dependent, such as Na$\^$＋/-H$\^$＋/ exchange and Na$\^$＋/-HCO$_3$-symport. The recovery mechanism from alkalosis are Cl-dependent, such as Cl$\^$-/-HCO$_3$-exchange and Cal$\^$-/-OH$\^$-/ exchange.(omitted)

The clinical isolate Staphylococcus aureus SA2 was resistant to ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, methicillin, streptomycin, and tobramycin and harboured more than two kinds of plasmids. Transformation experiment demonstrated that 40.98-kb plasmid(pKH2) encoded resistance to ampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, kanamycin, and streptomycin. The cleavage map of a pKH2 was determined by restriction enzyme mapping techniques. Cleavage map is given for BamHI, BglI, BstEII, SalI and XhoI.

In this paper, barrier height between Ni-silicide and source/drain is reduced utilizing Pd stacked structure (Pd/Ni/TiN) for high performance PMOSFET. It is shown that the barrier height is decreased by Pd incorporation and is dependent on the Pd thickness. Therefore, Ni-silicide using the Pd stacked structure is promising for high performance nano-cale PMOSFET.

Neuropharmacological profile of Humulus lupulus (hop) extract was studied in mice. At doses above 100 mg/kg(i.p.), it decreased spontaneous locomotor activity and raised the nociceptive threshold in the hot-plate test. At doses above 250 mg/kg (i.p.), it increased pentobarbital-induced sleeping time and produced muscle relaxant effect. At the dose of 500 mg/kg, anticonvulsive effect against pentylenetetrazole-induced convulsion and hypothermic effect was observed.

Fifty six compounds of 4-methylthiosemicarbazone and thiorcarbohydrazone derivatives were prepared and subjected to biological tests. The following five compounds, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde monothiocarbohydrazone (2),4-methylbenzaldehyde monothiocarbohydrazone (8), 1-(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde)-5(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) dithiocarbohydrazone (45), 1-(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde)-5-furfural dithiocarbohydrazone (46) and 1-benzaldehyde-5-cinnamaldehyde dithiocarbohydrazone (49) exhibited marked antimicrobial activity against E. coli, St. aureus and P. chrysogenum. In addition to these compounds, 3-methoxybenzaldehyde monothiocarbohydrazone (12) and 4-methylbenzaldehyde dithiocarbohydrazone (29) showed marked inhibition of HeLa cell growth at the concentration of 10 ${\nu}$g/ml. It was generally observed that most compounds demonstrated significant antifungal activity against P. chrysongenum but only one compound, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde dithiocarbohydrazone (39), exerted antituberculosis activity against M. tuberculosis H$_{37}$ RV at the concentration of 10 ${\nu}$g/ml.

DA-8159 is a new PDEV inhibitor, synthesized by Dong-A Pharm, as an oral agent to treat male erectile dysfunction. DA-8159 and sildenafil are mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP 3A4. In this study. we compared the metabolism of DA-8159 with sildenafil in vitro and in vivo. First, we quantified the remaining gatio of original compound, DA-8159 and sidenafil., after we incubated drugs for 30 minutes with human liver microsome cytochrome P 450 3A4. (omitted)

In rat hippocampus, kainic acid (KA; 10 mg/kg; i.p.) increased the phosphorylated forms of ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and Jun kinase1 (p-JNK1), but not p-JNK2 and p38 (p-p38). The preadministration with cycloheximide (CHX; 5 mg/kg; i.p.) inhibited KA-induced increase of p-JNK1, but not p-ERK1/2. Surprisingly, the phosphorylated upstream MAP kinase kinases (p-MKKs) were not correlated with their downstream MAP kinases. The basal p-MKK1/2 levels were completely abolished by KA, which were reversed by CHX. In addition, p-MKK4 and p-MKK3/6 levels were enhanced by CHX alone, but were attenuated by KA. Thus, our results showed that KA increased the p-ERK and p-JNK levels in rat hippocampus, which were not parallel with their classical upstreamal kinases.

Purpose: Intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT) is a form of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) that delivers dose in single or multiple arcs. We compared IMRT plans versus single-arc field (1ARC) and multi-arc fields (3ARC) IMAT plans in high-risk prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients were studied. Prostate ($PTV_P$), right pelvic ($PTV_{RtLN}$) and left pelvic lymph nodes ($PTV_{LtLN}$), and organs at risk were contoured. $PTV_P$, $PTV_{RtLN}$, and $PTV_{LtLN}$ received 50.40 Gy followed by a boost to $PTV_B$ of 28.80 Gy. Three plans were per patient generated: IMRT, 1ARC, and 3ARC. We recorded the dose to the PTV, the mean dose ($D_{MEAN}$) to the organs at risk, and volume covered by the 50% isodose. Efficiency was evaluated by monitor units (MU) and beam on time (BOT). Conformity index (CI), Paddick gradient index, and homogeneity index (HI) were also calculated. Results: Average Radiation Therapy Oncology Group CI was 1.17, 1.20, and 1.15 for IMRT, 1ARC, and 3ARC, respectively. The plans' HI were within 1% of each other. The $D_{MEAN}$ of bladder was within 2% of each other. The rectum $D_{MEAN}$ in IMRT plans was 10% lower dose than the arc plans (p < 0.0001). The GI of the 3ARC was superior to IMRT by 27.4% (p = 0.006). The average MU was highest in the IMRT plans (1686) versus 1ARC (575) versus 3ARC (1079). The average BOT was 6 minutes for IMRT compared to 1.3 and 2.9 for 1ARC and 3ARC IMAT (p < 0.05). Conclusion: For high-risk prostate cancer, IMAT may offer a favorable dose gradient profile, conformity, MU and BOT compared to IMRT.

Some promoters were isolated and characterized from the genome of Leuconostoc mesenteroides SY2, an isolate from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented vegetable. Chromosomal DNA of L. mesenteroides SY2 was digested with Sau3AI and ligated with BamHI-cut pBV5030, a promoter screening vector containing a promoterless cat-86. Among E. coli transformants (TFs) resistant against Cm (chloramphenicol), 17 were able to grow in the presence of $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ Cm and their inserts were sequenced. Transcription start sites were examined for three putative promoters (P04C, P25C, and P33C) by primer extension. Four putative promoters were inserted upstream of a promoterless ${\alpha}$-amylase reporter gene in $pJY15{\alpha}$. ${\alpha}$-Amylase activities of E. coli TFs containing $pJY15{\alpha}$ (control, no promoter), $pJY03{\alpha}$ ($pJY15{\alpha}$ with P03C), $pJY04{\alpha}$ (with P04C), $pJY25{\alpha}$ (with P25C), and $pJY33{\alpha}$ (with P33C) were 66.9, 78.7, 122.1, 70.8, and 99.3 U, respectively. Cells harboring $pJY04{\alpha}$ showed 1.8 times higher activity than the control. Some promoters characterized in this study might be useful for construction of food-grade expression vectors for Leuconostoc sp. and related lactic acid bacteria.
