Park, Sang-Won,Lee, Chan-Ho,Kim, Yeong Shik,Kang, Sam Sik,Jeon, Su Jin,Son, Kun Ho,Lee, Sun-Mee The Japanese Pharmacological Society 2008 JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGICAL SCIENCES Vol.106 No.1

<P>This study examined the effects of baicalin, a bioactive flavonoid isolated from <I>Scutellariae Radix</I>, on carbon tetrachloride (CCl<SUB>4</SUB>)-induced liver injury. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with 0.5 ml/kg CCl<SUB>4</SUB> and different groups of animals received 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg baicalin. At 24 h after the CCl<SUB>4</SUB> treatment, the level of serum aminotransferases and lipid peroxidation was significantly elevated, whereas the hepatic glutathione content was decreased. These changes were attenuated by baicalin. The histological studies showed that baicalin inhibited the portal inflammation, centrizonal necrosis, and Kupffer cell hyperplasia, which are the three most common characteristics of CCl<SUB>4</SUB>-induced liver damage. The serum level and mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α were markedly increased by the CCl<SUB>4</SUB> treatment but suppressed by baicalin. The mRNA and protein expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase and heme oxygenase-1 increased significantly at 24 h after the CCl<SUB>4</SUB> treatment. Baicalin attenuated the increase in the protein and gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase but augmented the increase in those of heme oxygenase-1. These findings suggest that baicalin protects hepatocytes from the oxidative damage caused by CCl<SUB>4</SUB>, and this protection is likely due to the induction of HO-1 expression and the inhibition of the proinflammatory mediators.</P>

관비재배와 저면관수인 ebb & flow, C-형강의 재배방식에 따른 고품질분화 생산을 위한 재배농가의 경제성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 화훼농가의 비용구조를 분석하였고 자본 회수기간 및 내부수익률의 추정, 관수에 따른 인건비 절감 효과를 분석하여 재배방식에 따른 경제성을 비교하였다. 10a(991.7m²) 규모의 자동온실에 대해 관비재배방식을 선택한 시클라멘 재배농가의 총 비용은 9,993.8만원으로 추정되며, 이 중 시설비는 74%(7,410만원)를 점하고 연간 2,583.8만원의 경영비를 지출할 것으로 예상된다. 반면, C-형강방식을 선택한 재배농가는 초기 시설비용으로 약 8,520.0만원(총비용의 약 70%)을 지출하고, 매년 경영비로 3,597.0만원을 지출할 것으로 추정된다. 한편, 투자자금에 대한 자본회수 기간을 분석한 결과 10a 규모의 자동온실에서 시클라멘을 재배하는 농가에서 관비재배방식 혹은 C-형강방식을 선택할 경우에는 초기시설투자비 회수기간이 약 4 년 정도 소요될 것으로 예측되며, ebb & flow 방식을 선택할 경우에는 약 5년 정도의 시간이 소요될 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 내부 수익률을 추정한 결과 ebb & flow시설과 C-형강시설을 5년과 6년씩 사용한다고 가정할 경우, ebb & flow시설의 내부 수익률은 각각 9%와 14%로 나타났고, C-형강시설의 경우에는 각각 13%와 17%로 나타나 시중의 저축성예금 수신금리 4.82%와 비교하여 경제성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. Economical efficiency for production of high quality-potted plants was analyzed by types of irrigation system such as conventional fertigation, ebb & flow, and C-channel as subirrigation systems. After cost structure was analyzed, payback period of capital, internal rate return (IRR), and effects of reduced labor cost were estimated. The gross cost of cyclamen-producing farmers using hydroponic systems in automated greenhouses (10a) was about 100 million won. Of the gross cost, installation and operation costs occupied 74% and 25%, respectively. In the C-channel subirrigation system, gross cost was 120 million won approximately. Installation and operation costs occupied 70% and 30%, respectively. Payback period of capital was 4 years for fertigated irrigation and C-channel subirrigation system, whereas it was 5 years for ebb & flow. IRR of ebb & flow and C-channel subirrigation systems was higher than the interest rates of 4.82%, indicating economic efficiency.

Shin, Tae-Kyeong,Kang, Mi-Sun,Lee, Ho-Youn,Seo, Moo-Sang,Kim, Si-Geun,Kim, Chi-Dae,Lee, Won-Suk The Korean Society of Pharmacology 2009 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.13 No.3

This study aimed to investigate whether selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) attenuate brain injury and facilitate recovery following photothrombotic cortical ischemia in mice. Male ICR mice were anesthetized and systemically administered Rose Bengal. Permanent focal ischemia was induced in the medial frontal and somatosensory cortices by irradiating the skull with cold light laser. The animals were treated with fluoxetine or sertraline once a day for 14 d starting 1 h after ischemic insult. Treatment with fluoxetine and sertraline significantly reduced the infarct size. The Evans blue extravasation indices of the fluoxetine- and sertraline-treated groups were significantly lower than that of the vehicle group. Treatment with fluoxetine and sertraline shifted the lower limit of the mean arterial blood pressure for cerebral blood flow autoregulation toward normal, and significantly increased the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 ${\alpha}$ (HIF-1 ${\alpha}$) proteins in the ischemic region. These results suggest that SSRIs, such as fluoxetine and sertraline, facilitate recovery following photothrombotic cortical ischemia via enhancement of HO-1 and HIF-1 ${\alpha}$ proteins expression, thereby providing a benefit in therapy of cerebral ischemia.

So Hee Ahn,Won Yeoung Choi,Ji Won Jeong,Geon Woo Park,Su Yeon Kang,Eun Jeong Kim,Su Rim Sin,Eun Seo Jang,Gye Won Lee,Young Ho Cho 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

In this study, To investigate the antioxidant activities of Rhaponticum uniflorum extracts (RUE), we assessed scavenging activities on DPPH, ABTS radicals, and reducing power. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities (SC50) of RUE were 96.97±1.19 μg/mL and 31.26±0.13 μ g/mL, respectively, and the reducing power significantly increased dose-dependent manner. To study the antioxidant effecters of RUE in H₂O₂ induced human keratinocytes, expression of Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were determined by Western blot and qRT-PCR. RUE induced the expression of HO-1, a critical target enzyme of Nrf2, in a concentration-dependent manner. The expression of HO- 1 mRNA was also induced in H₂O₂-treated HaCaT cells but no significant difference in the level of HO-1 mRNA was observed. Taken together, these results suggest that RUE may be useful as a potential ingredient for anti-aging products.

Portable low-cost Kinect sensor was used to analyze standing balance ability of the elderly. Eighty subjects who can walk alone and have a normal cognitive level participated in this experiment. Based on Berg Balance scale (BBS) test with 52 points, subjects were divided into Healthy older (HO: 46 persons, BBS: 53.80 ± 1.19) and Impaired older (IO: 34 persons, BBS: 49.06 ± 2.03) group. Each subject performed 30 seconds four different standing balance tests (EO: Eyes Open, EC: Eyes Close, EOf: Eyes Open on foam, ECf: Eyes Close on foam). Five variables (Mean distance, Range of distance, Root mean square, Mean velocity, 95% ellipse area) were calculated from the hip joint center movement of Kinect sensor. Results showed that there were significant differences between groups for four different standing tests. Calculated variables from kinect sensor showed significant correlation with BBS score. Especially, mediolateral mean distance, mediolateral root mean square, mediolateral range of distance and 95% ellipse area showed discriminative ability for all tests. Mean values of variables of IO were higher than those of HO, which means the decreased balance ability in IO compared with HO. Therefore, it was possible to estimate simple balance assessment of the elderly using portable low-cost Kinect sensor.

We estimate the economic benefit of weather modification (precipitation enhancement and fog dissipation) by assuming its operation for the considered regions. Based on the statistical data, the economic benefit of the virtually operational precipitation enhancement experiments for the Andong and Imha basins, where the natural precipitation is relatively lack in South Korea, is calculated 348 for the water resources, 22,458 for forest fire prevention, and 28,458 million won/year for the drought relief. The benefit of the fog dissipation operation for the Incheon International Airport is estimated 7,365 million won/year for the flight delay due to fog. The calculated ratio of benefit to cost for precipitation enhancement operation for the basins is 14.07, which is comparable to that conducted in other countries.

Highly efficient hybrid light-emitting device using complex of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots embedded in co-polymer as an active layer

Kang, Byoung-Ho,Seo, Jun-Seon,Jeong, Sohee,Lee, Jihye,Han, Chang-Soo,Kim, Do-Eok,Kim, Kyu-Jin,Yeom, Se-Hyuk,Kwon, Dae-Hyuk,Kim, Hak-Rin,Kang, Shin-Won The Optical Society 2010 Optics express Vol.18 No.17

<P>We propose a highly efficient hybrid light-emitting device (LED) with a single active layer where CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) are dispersed as a guest material in a conjugated polymer (co-polymer) matrix used for a host material. In our structure, the QDs act on light-emitting chromophores by trapping the migrating excitons in the co-polymer matrix via F?rster energy transfer, and improve the charge balance within the co-polymer by trapping the injected electron carriers. Experimental results show that the electroluminescent properties highly depend on the doping density of the QDs within the co-polymer matrix, where the luminance as well as the external current efficiency are initially enhanced with increasing the concentration of the dispersed QDs in the co-polymer solution, and then such properties are degraded due to aggregation of the QDs. We can get the maximum brightness of 9,088 cd/m(2) and the maximum external current efficiency of 7.5 cd/A in mixing ratio of the QDs by 1.0 wt%. The external current efficiency is enhanced by over 15 times and the turn-on voltage is reduced in comparison with the corresponding values for a reference device that uses only a co-polymer as an active layer.</P>
