  • The main purpose of this paper is to use the methods of Lattice Dynamical System to establish a global model, which extends the Walrasian evolutionary cobweb model in an independent single local market to the global market evolution over an infinite chain of many local markets interacting each other through a diffusion of prices between them. For brevity of the model, we assume linear decreasing demands and quadratic supplies with naive predictors, and investigate the spatially homogeneous global price dynamics and show that the dynamics is topologically conjugate to that of well-known logistic map and hence undergoes a period-doubling bifurcation route to chaos as a parameter varies through a critical value.

  • The author previously defined the spectral invariants, denoted by $\rho(H;\;a)$, of a Hamiltonian function H as the mini-max value of the action functional ${\cal{A}}_H$ over the Novikov Floer cycles in the Floer homology class dual to the quantum cohomology class a. The spectrality axiom of the invariant $\rho(H;\;a)$ states that the mini-max value is a critical value of the action functional ${\cal{A}}_H$. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove this axiom for nondegenerate Hamiltonian functions in irrational symplectic manifolds (M, $\omega$). We also prove that the spectral invariant function ${\rho}_a$ : $H\;{\mapsto}\;\rho(H;\;a)$ can be pushed down to a continuous function defined on the universal (${\acute{e}}tale$) covering space $\widetilde{HAM}$(M, $\omega$) of the group Ham((M, $\omega$) of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on general (M, $\omega$). For a certain generic homotopy, which we call a Cerf homotopy ${\cal{H}}\;=\;\{H^s\}_{0{\leq}s{\leq}1}$ of Hamiltonians, the function ${\rho}_a\;{\circ}\;{\cal{H}}$ : $s\;{\mapsto}\;{\rho}(H^s;\;a)$ is piecewise smooth away from a countable subset of [0, 1] for each non-zero quantum cohomology class a. The proof of this nondegenerate spectrality relies on several new ingredients in the chain level Floer theory, which have their own independent interest: a structure theorem on the Cerf bifurcation diagram of the critical values of the action functionals associated to a generic one-parameter family of Hamiltonian functions, a general structure theorem and the handle sliding lemma of Novikov Floer cycles over such a family and a family version of new transversality statements involving the Floer chain map, and many others. We call this chain level Floer theory as a whole the Floer mini-max theory.

  • JL1, a specific epitope on CD43, is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of acute leukemia. Although qualitative assays for detecting leukemia-specific CD43 exist, there is a need to develop quantitative assays for the same. Here, we developed two novel monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), 2C8 and 8E10, recognizing different epitopes on CD43. These clones are capable of pairing with YG5, another mAb against JL1 epitope, because they were selectively obtained using sandwich ELISA. Antigens recognized by 2C8 and 8E10 were confirmed as CD43 by western blotting using the CD43-hFC recombinant protein. When expression on various leukemic cell lines was investigated, 2C8 and 8E10 displayed a disparity in the distribution of the epitope. Enzyme assays revealed that these mAbs recognized a sialic acid-dependent epitope on CD43. Using normal thymus and lymph node paraffin-embedded tissues, we confirmed a difference in the epitopes recognized by the two mAbs that was predicted based on the maturity of the cells in the tissue. In summary, we developed and characterized two mAbs, 2C8 and 8E10, which can be used with YG5 in a sandwich ELISA for detecting leukemia-specific CD43.

  • Animal welfare during transport became an largely issue because of increasing demand for improved animal welfare standards. Most studies on the animal welfare during transportation have concentrated on the atmosphere and the temperature of the truck compartments. Thus, the objective of study was to collect and quantify three axis acceleration and determine the effect of bedding for transporting pigs from farm to slaughterhouse. A total of 2,840 crossbred fattening pigs with a live weight of approximately 115 kg were used. They were raised in the same commercial farms and transported to the same commercial slaughterhouse. A 3×2×2 completely randomized factorial design was used to investigate effects of rubber type bedding (bedding or non-bedding) and two levels of driving style (aggressive or normal) in three different time periods with different outside temperatures. Air temperature treatments were as follow: high temperature ([HT] higher than 24℃); low temperature ([LT] lower than 10℃); normal temperature ([NT] 10℃ to 24℃). In our experiment, pigs transported under aggressive driving style showed lower (p < 0.05) pH and water holding capacity (WHC) than those transported under normal driving style. Pigs transported under normal driving style showed a lower percentage of drip loss (DL) (p < 0.05) than those transported with an aggressive driving style. Also, transported with bedding showed higher (p < 0.05) lying behavior but lower (p < 0.05) sitting behavior than those transported without bedding. Pigs transported under normal driving style showed lower (p < 0.05) cortisol level than those transported under aggressive driving style. In conclusion, aggressive driving style cause acute stress in pigs, while bedding helps alleviate acute stress in pigs during transportation in LT.

  • 정상인에서 장내세균은 숙주의 면역이나 영양 흡수를 돕지만, 때로는 기회감염균으로서 그들을 위협하기도 한다. 그 중 절대 혐기성 세균인 Bacteroides fragilis는 분비되는 장독소(enterotoxin)인 Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT)의 유무에 따라 non-enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (NTBF)와 enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF)로 나뉜다. ETBF는 가축 및 사람에서 설사 질환 및 대장 질환을 유발한다 그러나 때때로 ETBF를 가지고 있으나 증상이 없는 사람도 존재한다. ETBF는 염증성 설사 질환, 여행자 설사 환자의 대변에서 검출되어 주목 받고 있다. 또한, 몇몇 연구를 통해 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)나 대장염 및 대장암 환자에서 ETBF가 증가한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 일반 C57BL/6 마우스 및 germ-free 마우스, multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) 마우스, 토끼, Mongolian gerbil 등 여러 동물 모델에서 ETBF가 IBD나 대장염, 대장암을 유발 또는 촉진한다는 것이 발표되었다. ETBF의 유일한 병원성 인자인 BFT는 E-cadherin의 분절을 유도하여 장상피 세포의 투과성을 높인다. 이어서 ${\beta}$-catenin 신호전달계가 활성화하여 장상피세포의 증식이 증가한다. 또한 ETBF의 감염은 일반 마우스에서 급성이나 만성의 대장염을 일으키고 Min 마우스에서 종양 형성을 촉진한다. 이는 Stat3에 의존한 $T_H17$ 면역반응의 활성화를 통해 일어난다. 현재 ETBF의 검출 방법에는 크게 BFT toxin assay와 몇 가지 PCR 방법이 있다. 최근 real-time PCR과 같은 분자진단학적 기법의 발달로 일반적인 PCR보다 더 정확한 ETBF의 검출이 가능하게 되었다. 이것을 이용하여 앞으로 실제 임상에서 ETBF와 대장염 및 대장암의 발달 관계에 대한 심도 깊은 연구가 이뤄질 것으로 본다.

  • 목 적 : 급성 폐손상이 있는 소아에서 혈액 응고 과정에서 중요한 역할을 하는 AT-III의 예후인자로서의 의미를 확인하고자 대상 환자에서 진단 초기의 AT-III 값을 측정하고 사망여부에 따라 AT-III 값을 비교 분석하고 지금까지 알려진 여러 예후인자들과 비교 분석하였다. 방 법 : 2004년 6월부터 2005년 12월까지 18개월 동안 서울대학교병원 소아중환자실에 입원한 198명의 환자 중 급성 폐손상의 정의를 만족하고 기계적 환기요법을 받은 21명의 환자를 대상으로 인구의학적인 변수와 기저질환, 초기 안정화 이후의 호흡지수들, 기계적 환기요법의 여러 설정 등을 측정하였다. 중환자실 입원 24시간 이내의 PRISM-III 점수, LIS 점수를 측정하였고 입원 3시간 내의 AT-III 값을 측정하였다. 사망여부에 따라 두 군으로 분류한 후 예후인자를 비교분석하였고, PRISM-III 값과 AT-III 값에 대해서는 상관관계와 회귀분석을 함께 시행하였다. 단변수 분석에서 사망여부에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 변수에 대해서 중회귀 분석을 시행하여 상대위험도를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 18개월 동안 198명이 입원하였고 21명의 환자가 진단기준을 만족하였다. 남자가 13명(61.9%)였고 연령은 5(1-14)세였다. 급성 폐손상이 발생한 장소가 병원이 아닌 경우가 33.3%였고 기저질환이 폐 병변인 경우가 66.7%였다. 대상 환자 중 AT-III 값이 70% 이하인 경우가 10명(42.9%)이였고 8명의 환자가 사망하여 사망률은 38.1%였다. 사망에 따른 두 군 간의 비교에서 초기 안정화 이후 동맥혈 pH와 $PaO_2/FiO_2$는 사망한 환자군에서 유의하게 더 낮았고, OI와 호기말 양압은 사망한 환자군에서 유의하게 더 높았다. 폐 유순도는 사망한 환자군에서 유의하게 더 낮았다. LIS와 PRISM-III는 사망한 환자군에서 모두 유의하게 높았고 AT-III는 사망한 환자군에서 유의하게 더 낮았다. AT-III와 PRISM-III 값은 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 중회귀분석에서 PRISM-III, LIS, OI는 모두 다른 변수에 독립적으로 유의한 사망의 위험인자였으며 70% 미만으로 정의한 AT-III 감소는 급성 폐손상 환자에서 다른 변수에 독립적으로 사망의 유의한 위험인자였다(OR 2.725, 95% CI 1.284-4.119). 결 론 : 급성 폐손상으로 기계적 환기요법을 시행 받은 소아환자를 대상으로 한 본 연구에서 초기 AT-III 값은 PRISM-III 값과 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며, 또한 사망한 환자군에서 AT-III 값이 유의하게 더 낮았고 이것은 다른 위험인자의 영향을 보정한 상태에서도 독립적인 사망의 위험인자였다. 이로써 AT-III가 급성 폐손상의 유의한 조기 예후 예측인자라는 것을 확인하였으며 향후 급성 폐손상/급성 호흡부전증후군 환자에서 응고장애를 정상화 할 수 있는 처치들이 예후를 향상시킬 수 있을 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • This work aims to utilize wastes from the potato starch industry to produce single-cell protein (SCP) with high lysine content as animal feed. In this work, S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine hydrochloride-resistant Bacillus pumilus E1 was used to produce SCP with high lysine content, whereas Aspergillus niger was used to degrade cellulose biomass and Candida utilis was used to improve the smell and palatability of the feed. An orthogonal design was used to optimize the process of fermentation for maximal lysine content. The optimum fermentation conditions were as follows: temperature of 40℃, substrate concentration of 3%, and natural pH of about 7.0. For unsterilized potato starch wastes, the microbial communities in the fermentation process were determined by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Results showed that the dominant population was Bacillus sp. The protein quality as well as the amino acid profile of the final product was found to be significantly higher compared with the untreated waste product at day 0. Additionally, acute toxicity test showed that the SCP product was non-toxic, indicating that it can be used for commercial processing.

  • As the frequency and the intensity of so called Asian dust (AD) events have increased, public concerns about the adverse health effects has spiked sharply over the last two decades. Despite the recent reports on the correlation between AD events and the risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disease, the nature of the toxicity and the degree of the risk are yet largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the dichloromethane extract of AD (AD-X) and that of urban dust (NAD-X) collected during a non-AD period on gene expression in HL-60 cells using Illumina Sentrix HumanRef-8 Expression BeadChips. Global changes in gene expression were analyzed after 24 h of incubation with 50 or 100 ${\mu}g$/ml AD-X and NAD-X. By one-way analysis of variance (p < 0.05) and Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction for false discovery rate of the results, 573 and 297 genes were identified as AD-X- and NAD-X-responsive, respectively. The genes were classified into three groups by Venn diagram analysis of their expression profile, i.e., 290 AD-X-specific, 14 NAD-X-specific, and 283 overlapping genes. Quantitative realtime PCR confirmed the changes in the expression levels of the selected genes. The expression patterns of five genes, namely SORL1, RABEPK, DDIT4, AZU1, and NUDT1 differed significantly between the two groups. Following rigorous validation process, these genes may provide information in developing biomarker for AD exposure.

  • 멸종위기 어류 미호종개(Cobitis choii)로부터 중금속해독 단백질(metallothionein) 유전자를 분리, 클로닝하고 중금속 및 고온 스트레스에 대한 전사 발현 특정을 분석하였다. 미호종개 metallothionein는 gDNA, mRNA 및 아미노산 서열 모두에서 경골 어류 MT들의 구조적 특징을 잘 보전하고 있었으며, 생물정보분석을 통해 미호종개 MT 유전자 5'-upstream 영역은 중금속 조절, 면역 반응 및 온도 반응에 관여하는 다양한 전사 조절인자들의 부착 위치들을 포함하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 카드뮴(Cd), 구리(Cu), 니켈(Ni), 망간(Mn) 및 아연(Zn)을 이용한 침지 노출 실험(0.5 및 $1.0\;{\mu}M$; 24시간)에서 미호종개 MT mRNA 발현은 구리 및 카드뮴 처리군에서 가장 많이 유도되었고($1.0\;{\mu}M$ Cu 처리군에서 최대 10배), 망간 처리군에서는 비교적 적은 양의 MT 발현이 유도된 반면(2배), 아연 및 니켈 노출 군에서는 유의적인 MT 발현의 증감이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 미호종개 MT 전사 발현은 고온 자극 ($25^{\circ}C$로부터 $31^{\circ}C$까지 증가)에도 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타나, $31^{\circ}C$ 도달시점에서 $25^{\circ}C$ 초기 MT mRNA 발현 수준보다 9배 높은 mRNA 발현이 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과는 MT 기반의 유전자 발현 분석을 이용함으로써, 향후 멸종위기 어류 미호종개의 스트레스 반응 연구에 유용한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있다고 기대된다.

  • Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganesis (Cmm) is a quarantine-worthy pest in $M{\acute{e}}xico$. The implementation and validation of new technologies is necessary to reduce the time for bacterial detection in laboratory conditions and Raman spectroscopy is an ambitious technology that has all of the features needed to characterize and identify bacteria. Under controlled conditions a contagion process was induced with Cmm, the disease epidemiology was monitored. Micro-Raman spectroscopy ($532nm\;{\lambda}$ laser) technique was evaluated its performance at assisting on Cmm detection through its characteristic Raman spectrum fingerprint. Our experiment was conducted with tomato plants in a completely randomized block experimental design (13 plants ${\times}$ 4 rows). The Cmm infection was confirmed by 16S rDNA and plants showed symptoms from 48 to 72 h after inoculation, the evolution of the incidence and severity on plant population varied over time and it kept an aggregated spatial pattern. The contagion process reached 79% just 24 days after the epidemic was induced. Micro-Raman spectroscopy proved its speed, efficiency and usefulness as a non-destructive method for the preliminary detection of Cmm. Carotenoid specific bands with wavelengths at 1146 and $1510cm^{-1}$ were the distinguishable markers. Chemometric analyses showed the best performance by the implementation of PCA-LDA supervised classification algorithms applied over Raman spectrum data with 100% of performance in metrics of classifiers (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive predictive value) that allowed us to differentiate Cmm from other endophytic bacteria (Bacillus and Pantoea). The unsupervised KMeans algorithm showed good performance (100, 96, 98, 91 y 100%, respectively).
