The responses of soybean seeds were evaluated to accelerated aging and gamma irradiation with regard to germination, seed leakage, seed leachate component and dry weight of hypocotyl and primary root of the germinating seed. Accelerated aging significantly reduced the final germination rate while gamma irradiation increased the final germination rate. Furthermore, the interactive effects occurred that the final germination rate of 5-day aged seeds increased considerably in response to 4 Gy of gamma irradiation. The extent to which the electrolyte was leaked from the seeds (conductivity) was significantly affected by accelerated aging and showed a close negative correlation with the germination rate. Gamma irradiation, however, did not significantly affect the electrical conductivity of seed leachate. The accelerated aging significantly increased the concentrations of the particular electrolytes leaked from the seeds while the gamma irradiation did not affect those concentrations. Of the electrolytes leaked from the seeds, Ca and Mg showed relatively lower concentrations while K showed greater concentrations than others. Moreover, N and P showed similar responses to aging treatment. Aging treatment significantly affected dry weight (DW) of hypocotyls and primary root. Also, gamma irradiation decreased DW of hypocotyls and primary root, particularly for 8 Gy associated with 5 days aging treatment. The data were discussed in terms of the relationships of seed vigor with aging treatment and gamma irradiation.

Calcium hydroxide pastes is widely used in conventional endodontics. Along with the expanded clinical use of calcium hydroxide, literatures suggest mixing calcium hydroxide with other substance. Among added substances the vehicle plays the most importance role in the overall process because it is directly related with the velocity of ionic dissociation of $Ca^{2+}$ and OH ion. In this study, we evalutated and compared periapical tissue response and root resorption after canal was filled with mixture of saline and calcium hydroxide(Junsei Chemical Co.. Japan) as a aqueous vehicle, Metapaste(Meta Co., Korea) as a viscous vehicle paste, Vitapex(Neo Dental, Japan) as a oily vehicle paste and IRM(Caulk Dentsply, USA) in replantation of rat molar. A total of 31 maxillary first molars of Sprague-Dawley female rats, 30 days old were used. The upper 1st molar was extracted and the mesiobuccal canal was filled with mixture of saline and calcium hydroxide, Metapaste, Vitapex. IRM and then replanted. Rats were sacrificed 3 weeks after replantation. the maxillae were removed. section of 4 micron were cut and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Apical tissue response were observed under light microscope. The results were as follows: 1. Saline mixing group and Metapaste group were significant different in fibrous capsule width compared to Vitapex group and IRM group(P<0.05). 2. Saline mixing group. Metapaste group. Vitapex group and IRM group did not prevent root resorption and there were no statistical difference. 3. In saline mixing group and Metapaste group. loss of pastes were observed in all samples. From the results of our study. we observed loss of pastes in saline mixing group and Metapaste group because of water soluble property and assumed it was related to inflammation in apical area and sealing ability of material. So, we should study and develop calcium hydroxide vehicle which is easily removed and more stable and because of only 3 weeks observation we need more evaluation in long period.

The physiological characteristics of the neurons receiving the ventral root afferent inputs were investigated in the cat. A total of 70 cells were identified in the lumbosacral spinal cord. All these cells responded only to the C-strength stimulation of the distal stump of cut ventral root and the estimated conduction velocities of the VRA fibers were not faster than 4 m/sec. The majority of them were silent in resting state. For 49 cells, their peripheral receptive fields were characterized. Among them, 25 cells were exclusively excited by VRA inputs, 8 were inhibited and the remaining cells recevied both excitatory and inhibitory VRA inputs. According to the response pattern to the mechanical stimuli applied to their receptive fields, only a fourth of them were typical high threshold cell, a sixth, wide dynamic range cells, while remainings were a rather complex cells. Most of the cells receiving VRA inputs, received only the A ${\delta}-peripheral$ nerve inputs. Intravenous injection of morphine decreased the response of spinal cells to the VRA activation. The responses were abolished completely by counter irritation to the common peroneal nerve with C-strength-low frequency stimuli. These physiological properties of the spinal neurons receiving the VRA inputs are differ in some aspect from the spinal neurons receiving nociceptive inputs from the periphery, but still were consistent with the contention that VRA system might carry nociceptive informations arising from the spinal cord and/or neraby surrounding tissues.

암을 유발하는 phorbol ester로 알려진 Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)는 동물세포에서 신호전달 효소의 하나인 protein kinase C (PKC)를 활성화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 옥수수 일차뿌리에서 PMA가 에틸렌 생성을 통하여 굴중성 반응을 조절하는 효과를 연구하였다. PMA는 8시간 동안 $10^{-6}$ M과 $10^{-4}$ M에서 농도 의존적으로 뿌리 생장과 굴중성 반응을 촉진시켰다. 이러한 촉진 효과는 PKC의 억제제인 staurosporine (STA)에 의해 상쇄되었다. 이 결과는 굴중성 반응이 신호전달 체계에 관여하는 protein kinase C를 통하여 조절될 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 식물호르몬인 에틸렌도 뿌리 생장과 굴중성 반응에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 에틸렌 생성은 $10^{-6}$ M과 $10^{-4}$ M PMA에 의하여 각각 26%와 37% 증가하였다. PMA는 또한 ACC synthase (ACS) 활성을 촉진시켰다. 또한 이 증가 효과는 STA에 의하여 상쇄되었다. 이 결과는 옥수수 뿌리에서 굴중성 반응은 에틸렌 생성을 거쳐 protein kinase를 통하여 조절될 가능성을 제시하고 있다.

염증반응은 유해한 물질이나 병원체에 대항하여 활성화되는 생체 방어 기전이다. 그러나 과도한 염증반응은 그 자체가 생체에 좋지 않은 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 대식세포는 지질다당류와 같은 병원체를 인식한 후, NF-${\kappa}B$ 경로의 활성화를 포함한 다양한 경로를 통하여 산화질소와 같은 염증매개인자들을 분비하는 면역세포이다. 본 연구에서는 지질다당류로 활성화시킨 RAW 264.7 대식세포를 이용하여 등골나물(Eupatorium chinensis var. simplicifolium) 뿌리, 줄기 그리고 꽃 추출물들의 항염증 효과를 알아보았다. 그 중 등골나물 뿌리의 추출물은 농도의존적으로 산화질소의 생성을 감소시켰으며, 산화질소 합성유도효소(inducible nitric oxide synthase)와 고리형 산소화효소-2(cyclooxygenase-2)의 발현을 통계적으로 유의하게 감소시켰다. 또한 등골나물 뿌리의 추출물은 NF-${\kappa}B$ 경로에 있는 MAP (mitogen activated protein) 인산화효소와 단백질 인산화효소 B (protein kinase B)의 활성화를 감소시켰으며, 억제적 kappa B (inhibitory kappa B)의 분해 또한 감소시키는 것을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 등골나물 뿌리의 추출물이 NF-${\kappa}B$ 경로와 산화질소 합성유도효소 발현의 억제를 통하여 항염증작용을 나타낼 수 있음을 제시한다.

Drought limits rice production under upland condition. This study quantified the effect of rhizobacteria inoculation on rice root system developmental response to drought and its role in maintaining high soil water use, and dry matter production under drought using NSIC Rc192 (rainfed lowland rice variety). The source of inoculant was Streptomyces mutabilis, a recently isolated rhizobacteria containing plant growth promoting compounds such as ACC deaminase, indole-3-acetic acid and phosphatase (Cruz et al., 2014, 2015). In the first experiment, pre-germination inoculation of seeds with S. mutabilis significantly increased the shoot and root (radicle) length as well as root hair lengths, relative to the non-inoculated control. In the second experiment, rice plants inoculated with S. mutabilis and grown in rootbox with soil generally had greater total root length under drought regardless of the timing of inoculations, relative to the non-inoculated control. Consequently, improved root system development contributed to the increase in soil water uptake under drought and thus, dry matter production. Among inoculation treatments, one-time inoculation of S. mutabilis either at pre-germination or pre-drought stress at 14 days after sowing (DAS), had significantly greater shoot dry matter production than three-time inoculation at pre-germination, at thinning (3 DAS) and at pre-drought (14 DAS). This study demonstrated the effectiveness of rhizobacteria (S. mutabilis) containing growth promoting compounds for enhancing drought dehydration avoidance root traits and improving the growth of rice plants under drought condition.

A new structure-vibration-control approach is proposed which uses a passive coupling element between two parallel structures to reduce the seismic response of a system due to earthquake excitation. Dynamic characteristics of the two coupled single-degree-freedom systems subject to stationary white-noise excitation are examined by means of statistical energy analysis (SEA) techniques. Optimal parameters of the passive coupling element such as damping and stiffness under different circumstances are determined with an emphasis on the influence of the structural parameters of the system on the optimal parameters and control effectiveness. Numerical results including the root mean square values of the response due to the filtered white-noise excitation and the time-histories of response to El Centro 1940 NS excitation are presented.

This paper presents the transient response analysis of a rotating blade in resonant frequency range. It is shown that the modeling is considered in elastic foundation and friction damping effect. The equations of motion are derived and transformed into a dimensionless form to investigate general phenomena. Numerical results show that the magnitude of friction damping to reduce maximum transient response in near the critical angular speed. The method can be applied to a number of examples of the practical rotating blade system to minimize transient response in resonant frequency range.
