<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>An extremely sensitive CO sensor based on novel hybrid SnO<SUB>2</SUB>–ZnO core–shell (C–S) nanowires (NWs) functionalized by Au nanoparticles (NPs) was synthesized. First, networked SnO<SUB>2</SUB> NWs were successfully prepared using the vapor–liquid–solid growth method on an electrode layer with special patterns. A ZnO shell was subsequently coated on the SnO<SUB>2</SUB> core using atomic layer deposition, and Au NPs were then attached onto the ZnO shell using γ-ray radiolysis. The resulting sensor exhibited a very high response of 26.6–100ppb CO gas. Furthermore, the responses to other gases such as C<SUB>6</SUB>H<SUB>6</SUB> and C<SUB>6</SUB>H<SUB>7</SUB> were extremely low, indicating the very good selectivity of the sensor to CO gas. Besides acting as heterojunctions, the catalytic effect of the Au NPs on CO gas greatly improved the CO sensing capability of the Au-functionalized SnO<SUB>2</SUB>–ZnO C–S NWs. The high sensitivity and selectivity of this sensor can open a path for prompt toxic monitoring and early detection of fatal diseases related to CO.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Novel hybrid SnO<SUB>2</SUB>–ZnO core–shell nanowires functionalized by Au nanoparticles. </LI> <LI> The resulting sensor exhibited a very high response of 26.6–100ppb CO gas. </LI> <LI> The very good selectivity of the sensor to CO gas. </LI> <LI> Heterojunctions and the catalytic effect of Au greatly improved the CO sensing capability. </LI> </UL> </P>

A Synthetic Naringenin Derivative, 5-Hydroxy-7,4′-diacetyloxyflavanone-<i>N</i>-phenyl Hydrazone (N101-43), Induces Apoptosis through Up-regulation of Fas/FasL Expression and Inhibition of PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathways in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells

<P>Naringenin, a well-known naturally occurring flavonone, demonstrates cytotoxicity in a variety of human cancer cell lines; its inhibitory effects on tumor growth have spurred interest in its therapeutic application. In this study, naringenin was derivatized to produce more effective small-molecule inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation, and the anticancer effects of its derivative, 5-hydroxy-7,4′-diacetyloxyflavanone-<I>N</I>-phenyl hydrazone (N101-43), in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines NCI-H460, A549, and NCI-H1299 were investigated. Naringenin itself possesses no cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells. In contrast, N101-43 inhibits proliferation of both NCI-H460 and A549 cell lines; this capacity is lost in p53-lacking NCI-H1299 cells. N101-43 induces apoptosis via sub-G<SUB>1</SUB> cell-cycle arrest in NCI-H460 and via G<SUB>0</SUB>/G<SUB>1</SUB> arrest in A549 cells. Expression of apoptosis and cell-cycle regulatory factors is altered: Cyclins A and D1 and phospho-pRb are down-regulated, but expression of CDK inhibitors such as p21, p27, and p53 is enhanced by N101-43 treatment; N101-43 also increases expression levels of the extrinsic death receptor Fas and its binding partner FasL. Furthermore, N101-43 treatment diminishes levels of cell survival factors such as PI3K and p-Akt dose-dependently, and N101-43 additionally induces cleavage of the pro-apoptotic factors caspase-3, caspase-8, and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP). Cumulatively, these investigations show that the naringenin derivative N101-43 induces apoptosis via up-regulation of Fas/FasL expression, activation of caspase cascades, and inhibition of PI3K/Akt survival signaling pathways in NCI-H460 and A549 cells. In conclusion, these data indicate that N101-43 may have potential as an anticancer agent in NSCLC.</P>

Kim, Jae-Hwan,Lee, Seong-Su,Kim, Seung Chang,Choi, Seong-Bok,Kim, Su-Hyun,Lee, Chang Woo,Jung, Kyoung-Sub,Kim, Eun Sung,Choi, Young-Sun,Kim, Sung-Bok,Kim, Woo Hyun,Cho, Chang-Yeon Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2016 Animal Bioscience Vol.29 No.5

Many studies have reported the frequency and distribution of haplogroups among various cattle breeds for verification of their origins and genetic diversity. In this study, 318 complete sequences of the mtDNA control region from four Korean cattle breeds were used for haplogroup classification. 71 polymorphic sites and 66 haplotypes were found in these sequences. Consistent with the genetic patterns in previous reports, four haplogroups (T1, T2, T3, and T4) were identified in Korean cattle breeds. In addition, T1a, T3a, and T3b sub-haplogroups were classified. In the phylogenetic tree, each haplogroup formed an independent cluster. The frequencies of T3, T4, T1 (containing T1a), and T2 were 66%, 16%, 10%, and 8%, respectively. Especially, the T1 haplogroup contained only one haplotype and a sample. All four haplogroups were found in Chikso, Jeju black and Hanwoo. However, only the T3 and T4 haplogroups appeared in Heugu, and most Chikso populations showed a partial of four haplogroups. These results will be useful for stable conservation and efficient management of Korean cattle breeds.

2,4-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal (HPB242) induces apoptosis via modulating E7 expression and inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway in SiHa human cervical cancer cells.

Kim, Man Sub,Kim, Jung Hee,Bak, Yesol,Park, Yun Sun,Lee, Dong Hun,Kang, Jeong Woo,Shim, Jung-Hyun,Jeong, Heon Sang,Hong, Jin Tae,Yoon, Do Young Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers [etc.] 2012 Nutrition and cancer Vol.64 No.8

<P>The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction occurring between an amino acid and a reducing sugar, usually requiring thermal processing. Maillard reaction products (MRPs) have antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antibacterial effects, and although 2,4-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal (HPB242), a fructose-tyrosine MRP, appears to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells, its mechanism of action has not been studied in detail. We found that HPB242 treatment modulated expression of cyclins and tumor suppressor genes in SiHa human cervical cancer cell lines: cyclins and phospho-pRB were downregulated, whereas the expression of CDK inhibitors and p53 was enhanced. HPB242 induced apoptosis dose-dependently by suppressing E7 expression and leading to sub-G1 cell-cycle arrest in SiHa cell lines; treatment also led to the proteolytic cleavage of caspase-3, -9, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Moreover, HPB242 upregulated Fas expression, altered expressions of pro- and antiapoptotic factors, and also inhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB and phosphorylation of IκB. HPB242 treatment decreased phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase and p-Akt expression levels, demonstrating that this survival pathway may also be inhibited by HPB242. Cumulatively, HPB242 promotes apoptosis by influencing E7 expression, inducing cell-cycle arrest at sub-G1 phase, and promoting both intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (Fas-dependent) apoptosis in SiHa human cervical cancer cells.</P>

다양한 셀 형태를 가지는 계층 구조 셀룰라 시스템의 텔래 트래픽과 성능 분석

김장섭,이용우,정우곤 成均館大學校 科學技術硏究所 1999 論文集 Vol.50 No.1

A realistic method for the system performance evaluation is introduced for heterogeneous cell type and non-uniformly distributed traffic rate. In order to estimate the performance more accurately, especially for hierarchical cellular systems, the designers need to be free from the constraint of the uniformly distribution of traffic and the homogeneity of cell types. We propose new performance evaluation methods for less constraint cell structures for an overlaid cell types, i.e., a macrocell and any number of embedded microcells. The traffic flow matrices define the non-uniform traffic distribution and the paths with the mobile stations flow through; any types of traffic pattern can be handled. For assessment of the system performance the blocking probability for the new call attempts, the dropping probability for the handoff calls, and the forced termination probability are considered based on the proposed modeling.

金重燁,鄭仁基,金宇燮 嶺南大學校 工業技術硏究所 1982 연구보고 Vol.10 No.1

An experimental study on the performance of the diesel engine using methanol as an additional fuel was performed. In order to increase the amount of methanol, dual injection method has been used that a carburettor for methanol injection was connected with the inlet system. The performance tests have been conducted, and the power output, heat consumption and smoke have been evaluated up to 40% methanol in volume. As the results, it was shown that the rate of methanol mixed was differed from the load. The stable running was possible by 50%(wt.) of the methanol mixing at full range of the output. On the viewpoint of specific heat consumption and excess air ratio, the methanol mixing was profitable at high load. As the increasing of mixing rate, the inlet air and exhaust gas temperatures and the cooling loss were reduced, and smoke density was reduced significantly. By heating the methanol-air mixture, the output was increased, but according to the rate of methanol mixing and the load, inlet air temperature was limited by knock.
