We have made a comparison of the magnetic properties between columnar defect introduced YBCO single crystal(S#1) and partially introduced crystal(S#2).Magnetization vs. applied field curves of S#1 had larger width than S#2 by SQUID magnetometer measurement. But if we considered the volume of partially introduce columnar defect in S#2, the curves of magntization of S#1 and S#2 showed nearly same magnitude. Moreover, S#1 and S#2 showed same normalized relaxation rate thus we may concluded that only the part of columnar defect contrubute the flux pinning in S#2. Irreversibility line(IRL)was obtained from AC susceptibility measurement. IRL of S#2 showed downward shift relative to the case of S31. Below the Bcr, exponent αwas 1.85 and 1.68 in the S#2, respectively. Bose-glass phase was even showed in the case of S#2 defect structure.

LIM, E.-S.,RHEE, Y.-H.,PARK, M.-K.,SHIM, B.-S.,AHN, K.-S.,KANG, H.,YOO, H.-S.,KIM, S.-H. Wiley (Blackwell Publishing) 2007 Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Vol.1095 No.1

<P>Shikonin has been reported to induce apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. 6-(1-propoxyiminoalkyl)-5,8-dimethoxyoxy 1,4-naphtoquinone S-64 (DMNQ S-64) was synthesized as a shikonin derivative. In this article, the underlying apoptotic mechanism of DMNQ S-64 was examined. DMNQ S-64 exerted cytotoxicity against A549 lung carcinoma cells with IC(50) of 27.3 microM. Apoptotic bodies were observed in DMNQ S-64-treated A549 cells by 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining assay. DMNQ S-64 also increased sub-G1 DNA portion in a concentration-dependent manner by flow cytometric analysis. Western blotting has revealed that DMNQ S-64 effectively activates the expression of caspase 8, 9, and 3, cleaves poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, and increases the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2. Furthermore, cytochrome c was released in a concentration-dependent manner by DMNQ S-64. Similarly, DMNQ S-64 significantly increased caspase 3 activity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It also significantly inhibited the level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) by ELISA and downregulated the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in a concentration-dependent manner. Taken together, DMNQ S-64 may exhibit cytotoxicity against A549 cells via caspase activation and COX-2 inhibition.</P>

이영문,조삼규,장은실,태원의,심보경 韓國工作機械學會 2000 한국생산제조학회지 Vol.9 No.3

In this study, the characteristics of chip formation of the cold drawn Bi-S free machining steels were assessed. And for comparison, those of the cold drawn Pb-S free machining steel, the hot rolled low carbon steel which has MnS as free machining inclusions and the conventional steels were also investigated. During chip formation, the cold drawn free machining steels show relatively little change in thickness and width of chip compare to those of the conventional carbon steels. And a single parameter which indicates the degree of deformation during chip formation, 'chip cross-section area ratio' is introduced. The chip cross-section area ratio is defined as chip cross-section area is divided by undeformed chip cross-section area. The variational patterns of the chip cross-section area ratio of the materials cut are similar to those of the shear strain values. The shear stress, however, seems to be dependent on the carbon content of the materials. The cold drawn Bi-S and Pb-S steels show nearly the same chip forming behaviors and the energy consumed during chip formation is almost same. A low carbon steel without free machining aids shows poor chip breakability due to its high ductility. By introducing a small amount of free machining inclusions such as MnS, Bi, Pb or merely increasing carbon content the chip breakability improves significantly.

Proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in porous hyaluronic acid scaffold

Yoon, I.S.,Chung, C.W.,Sung, J.H.,Cho, H.J.,Kim, J.S.,Shim, W.S.,Shim, C.K.,Chung, S.J.,Kim, D.D. Society for Bioscience and Bioengineering, Japan ; 2011 Journal of bioscience and bioengineering Vol.112 No.4

Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) attracted much interest as a promising alternative to autologous chondrocytes and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells for cartilage regeneration. Developing a suitable culture technique to direct AD-MSCs into the chondrogenic lineage could be a crucial prerequisite for the cartilage defect repair application of AD-MSCs. Herein, we prepared the PEGDG-crosslinked porous three-dimensional (3D) hyaluronic acid (HA) scaffold and evaluated for its feasibility to induce proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of the AD-MSCs. In addition, the effect of bone-morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on chondrogenic differentiation was further investigated. Proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation were evaluated by cell morphology, DNA contents, s-GAG contents, and level of mRNA expression of relevant marker genes. When cultured with reference chondrogenic medium (RCM; serum-free DMEM-HG supplemented with 10ng/mL of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), 50nM ascorbate, 100nM dexamethasone, and 5μg/mL of ITS), better proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of AD-MSCs were obtained in the 3D HA scaffold culture as compared to the micromass culture, a standard 3D culture system. Moreover, the level of chondrogenic differentiation of AD-MSCs in the HA scaffold-RCM culture system was further increased by BMP-2, and decreased by PDGF. These results suggested that the HA scaffold with RCM was a promising chondrogenic culture system of AD-MSCs, and that BMP-2 could potentially serve as a chondrogenic supplement for AD-MSCs. However, PDGF was determined to be an inappropriate supplement based on its inhibition of the chondrogenic differentiation of AD-MSCs.

To represent atrial fibrillation (AF) we use the bi-domain model coupled with the Courtmanche model of human atrial cell and simulate the 3D electric waves on left atrial surface. S1-S2 stimulation protocol is applied to induce AF in the model. We obtained patient-specific geometries of left atrium (LA) from CT data and constructed three-dimensional (3D) simulation models. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nerve activity on electric wave propagation in AF. In the cell model, we add acetycoline-activated potassium current to reflect the nerve effect of ganglionated plexus. Parasympathetic actions are formulated based on the experimental results of acetylcholine effects in patch-clamp studies. Computed results show that ach-activated potassium current by parasympathetic stimuls induces maintained AF waves than control condition.

Goudah, A.,Sher Shah, S.,Shin, H.C.,Shim, J.H.,Abd El-Aty, A. M. Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2007 Journal of veterinary medicine. A, Physiology, pat Vol.54 No.10

<P>Summary</P><P>The aim of this investigation was to examine the pharmacokinetics and mammary excretion of erythromycin administered to lactating ewes (<I>n</I> = 6) by the intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) routes at a dosage of 10 mg/kg. Blood and milk samples were collected at pre-determined times, and a microbiological assay method was used to measure erythromycin concentrations in serum and milk. The concentration–time data were analysed by compartmental and non-compartmental kinetic methods. The serum concentration–time data of erythromycin were fit to a two-compartment model after i.v. administration and a one-compartment model with first-order absorption after i.m. and s.c. administration. The elimination half-life (<I>t</I><SUB>1/2&bgr;</SUB>) was 4.502 ± 1.487 h after i.v. administration, 4.874 ± 0.296 h after i.m. administration and 6.536 ± 0.151 h after s.c. administration. The clearance value (Cl<SUB>tot</SUB>) after i.v. dosing was 1.292 ± 0.121 l/h/kg. After i.m. and s.c. administration, observed peak erthyromycin concentrations (<I>C</I><SUB>max</SUB>) of 0.918 ± 0.092 <I>&mgr;</I>g/ml and 0.787 ± 0.010 <I>&mgr;</I>g/ml were achieved at 0.75 and 1.0 h (<I>T</I><SUB>max</SUB>) respectively. The bioavailability obtained after i.m. and s.c. administration was 91.178 ± 10.232% and 104.573 ± 9.028% respectively. Erythromycin penetration from blood to milk was quick for all the routes of administration, and the high AUC<SUB>milk</SUB>/AUC<SUB>serum</SUB> (1.186, 1.057 and 1.108) and C<SUB>max‐milk</SUB>/C<SUB>max‐serum</SUB> ratios reached following i.v., i.m. and s.c. administration, respectively, indicated an extensive penetration of erythromycin into the milk.</P>

The prolyl isomerase Pin1 interacts with a ribosomal protein S6 kinase to enhance insulin-induced AP-1 activity and cellular transformation

Lee, N. Y.,Choi, H.-K.,Shim, J.-H.,Kang, K.-W.,Dong, Z.,Choi, H. S. Oxford University Press 2009 Carcinogenesis Vol.30 No.4

<P>Phosphorylation of proteins on serine or threonine residues that immediately precede proline (pSer/Thr-Pro) is specifically catalyzed by the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 and is a central signaling mechanism in cell proliferation and transformation. Although Pin1 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the molecular mechanism of Pin1 in HCC has not been completely elucidated. Here, we show that Pin1 interacts with p70S6K in vitro and ex vivo. Overexpression of Pin1 resulted in enhanced p70S6K phosphorylation induced by insulin in SK-HEP-1 cells. In contrast, Pin1(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibited significantly decreased insulin-induced p70S6K phosphorylation compared with Pin1(+/+) MEFs. Furthermore, Pin1 enhanced the insulin-induced extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation through its interaction with p70S6K, whereas the inhibition of p70S6K activity by rapamycin suppressed insulin-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in SK-HEP-1 cells. Hence, Pin1 affected activator protein-1 activity through p70S6K-ERK1/2 signaling in SK-HEP-1 cells. Most importantly, Pin1-overexpressing JB6 Cl41 cells enhanced neoplastic cell transformation promoted by insulin much more than green fluorescent protein-overexpressing JB6 Cl41 control cells. These results imply that Pin1 amplifies insulin signaling in hepatocarcinoma cells through its interaction with p70S6K, suggesting that Pin1 plays an important role in insulin-induced tumorigenesis and is a potential therapeutic target in hepatocarcinoma.</P>
