Literally, the mean of Tae-gye is highest brook. And on the basis of the acupuncture theory, Tae-gye point is the Soo earth point and source point of the Kidney Channel as well. In addition, Tae-gye point is one of the Yang-Returning Nine points. We were trying to study bibliographically on the Tae-gye point because Tae-gye point can be used very broadly across the symptoms in the theoretical aspect described above. As a results, we found out that according to the classical books of acupuncture, Tae-gye point is entering point of the Meridian Water as a source point and can be used at both Kidney-Sufficient Syndrom and Kidney-Deficient Syndrom. And Tae-gye can be applied to the disease of kidney or bladder that is urogenital symtoms, Also, Tae-gye is an useful option of tooth-ache, asthma, indigestion, constipation, edema etc whose cause is related with decrease of Kidney ki.

NSC126188, a piperazine alkyl derivative, induces apoptosis via upregulation of RhoB in HeLa cells.

Kim, Bo-Kyung,Kim, Dong-Myung,Chung, Kyung-Sook,Park, Song-Kyu,Choi, Shin-Jung,Song, Alexander,Lee, Kiho,Lee, Chang-Woo,Song, Kyung-Bin,Han, Gyoonhee,Simon, Julian,Kim, Hwan Mook,Won, Misun M. Nijhoff ; Kluwer Academic Publishers 2011 Investigational new drugs Vol.29 No.5

<P>We describe here a piperazine alkyl derivative, NSC126188, which induced apoptosis of HeLa cells by upregulating RhoB expression. NSC126188 caused multi-septation of fission yeast and hypersensitized a ???rho3 mutant, which implicates the involvement of functional human homolog RhoB. The treatment of cells with NSC126188 induced apoptosis and a dramatic increase in RhoB expression. In addition, RhoB knockdown using siRNA rescued cells from apoptosis, indicating a crucial role of RhoB in NSC126188-induced apoptosis. In a reporter assay using luciferase and EGFP under control of the RhoB promoter, NSC126188 increased both luciferase activity and the expression of EGFP, implicating transcriptional activation of RhoB by NSC126188. Furthermore, NSC126188 demonstrated in vivo anti-tumor activity, inhibiting tumor growth by 66.8% in a nude mouse xenograft using PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that NSC126188 is a potential lead compound and that upregulation of RhoB is associated with NSC126188-induced apoptosis.</P>

<P>Co3O4 sensors with a nanoscale TiO2 or SnO2 catalytic overlayer were prepared by screen-printing of Co3O4 yolk shell spheres and subsequent e-beam evaporation of TiO2 and SnO2. The Co3O4 sensors with 5 nm thick TiO2 and SnO2 overlayers showed high responses (resistance ratios) to 5 ppm xylene (14.5 and 28.8) and toluene (11.7 and 16.2) at 250 degrees C with negligible responses to interference gases such as ethanol, HCHO, CO, and benzene. In contrast, the pure Co3O4 sensor did not show remarkable selectivity toward any specific gas. The response and selectivity to methylbenzenes and ethanol could be systematically controlled by selecting the catalytic overlayer material, varying the overlayer thickness, and tuning the sensing temperature. The significant enhancement of the selectivity for xylene and toluene was attributed to the reforming of less reactive methylbenzenes into more reactive and smaller species and oxidative filtering of other interference gases, including ubiquitous ethanol. The concurrent control of the gas reforming and oxidative filtering processes using a nanoscale overlayer of catalytic oxides provides a new, general, and powerful tool for designing highly selective and sensitive oxide semiconductor gas sensors.</P>

Hyung Sook Kim,Hwa Sun Ryu,Bo Ram Shin,강종순,Hwan Mook Kim,Yong Ook Kim,Jin Tae Hong,Youngsoo Kim,Sang Bae Han,Jee Youn Kim 한국식품영양과학회 2011 Journal of medicinal food Vol.14 No.7

Paecilomyces cicadae Miquel Samson is the anamorph of Cordyceps cicadae Shing and is used in functional foods for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. In the present study, we examined the effects of P. cicadae polysaccharide (PCP) on dendritic cell (DC) maturation. Phenotypic maturation of DCs by PCP was confirmed by the elevated expressions of CD80, CD86, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I, and MHC-II molecules and functional maturation by increased expression of interleukin-12, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α, enhanced allogenic T cell stimulation, and decreased endocytosis. PCP induced the maturation of DCs from C3H/HeN and C57BL/6 mice but not from Toll-like receptor (tlr) 4–/– knockout mice and TLR4-mutated C3H/HeJ mice, which suggests that TLR4 is the membrane receptor for PCP. PCP increased the degradation of inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) α/β, which enhanced the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p50/p65 and induced the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, which are signaling molecules downstream of TLR4. These results indicate that PCP induces DC maturation through TLR4 signaling.

Won-Ki Kim,Min-Soo Kim,Eui-Mook Lee,Jae-Won Cha,Bo-Young Choi,Bong-Chul Kim,Seung-Ki Min,Jun Lee 대한구강악안면외과학회 2012 대한구강악안면외과학회지 Vol.38 No.3

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rarely reported benign tumor, accounting for 0.4-3% of all odontogenic tumors. Approximately 150 cases have been reported in the literature between 1958 and 2003. The age range of CEOT varies from 8 to 92 years with mean of 36.9 years, and the occurrence of the lesion in both genders is almost equal. It has 2 clinico-topographic variants: the intraosseous (94%) and the extraosseous (6%) type. The intraosseous type has a predilection for mandible (maxilla : mandible ratio of 1 : 2). The intraosseous CEOT commonly associated with non-erupted teeth accounts for more than half (52%) of the cases and usually appears as painless swelling that causes bony expansion. The location of diffused round-shaped calcifying material is inside the connective tissue stroma and epithelial islands. The tumors tend to be located toward the tooth crown, which usually has a unilocular radiolucent region containing variant radiopaque materials radiologically. In this paper, we report a case of CEOT occurring in the left mandibular first premolar of a 23-year-old female and present a brief review of the literature.

Early identification of maxillary canine impaction is very important, because of treatment duration time. Analysis used by 3-dimensional computed tomography is more important than before in treatment planning. The aim of this study was to analysis of factors associated with the treatment during time of forced eruption of the impacted maxillary canine using 3-dimensional computed tomography. 17 patients were analysed in Daejeon dental hospital of Wonkwang university(16 patients with unilateral impactions and 1 patient with bilateral impaction). In total, 18 maxillary impacted cannines were analysed by 3-dimensional computed tomography. The results obtained were as follow; 1. There was positive correlation between the age of patient and treatment duration time. 2. There was positive correlation between the distance of occlusal plane to cusp of maxillary impacted canine and treatment duration time, and negative correlation between the length of maxillary impacted canine and treatment duration time. 3. There was positive correlation between the angulation of midsagittal plane to axis of maxillary impacted canine and treatment duration time, and negative correlation between occlusal plane to axis of maxillary impacted canine and treatment duration time. In conclusion, age, tooth length, distance from the canine cusp tip to the occlusal plane, angulation of tooth axis to occlusal plane and midsagittal plane allow that we can predict treatment duration time.

Fire-through Ag contact formation for crystalline Si solar cells using single-step inkjet printing.

Kim, Hyun-Gang,Cho, Sung-Bin,Chung, Bo-Mook,Huh, Joo-Youl,Yoon, Sam S American Scientific Publishers 2012 Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Vol.12 No.4

<P>Inkjet-printed Ag metallization is a promising method of forming front-side contacts on Si solar cells due to its non-contact printing nature and fine grid resolution. However, conventional Ag inks are unable to punch through the SiN(x) anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer on emitter Si surfaces. In this study, a novel formulation of Ag ink is examined for the formation of fire-through contacts on a SiN(x)-coated Si substrate using the single-step printing of Ag ink, followed by rapid thermal annealing at 800 degrees C. In order to formulate Ag inks with fire-through contact formation capabilities, a liquid etching agent was first formulated by dissolving metal nitrates in an organic solvent and then mixing the resulting solution with a commercial Ag nanoparticle ink at various volume ratios. During the firing process, the dissolved metal nitrates decomposed into metal oxides and acted in a similar manner to the glass frit contained in Ag pastes for screen-printed Ag metallization. The newly formulated ink with a 1 wt% loading ratio of metal oxides to Ag formed finely distributed Ag crystallites on the Si substrate after firing at 800 degrees C for 1 min.</P>
