송이버섯을 인공재배하기 위하여 송이 근권토양의 미생물을 활용하여 본 실험을 진행하였다. 본 실험은 송이의 자실체가 나오기 전인 7월의 토양으로부터 세균을 확보하여 진행되었으며 총 4점의 세균에 대해 송이 균사체 생장촉진을 확인하였다. 확보된 세균들, Y22_B06, Y22_B11, Y22_B18, Y22_B22는 각각 송이 균사의 면적을 각각 154.67%, 125.91%, 134.06%, 158.28%로 생장시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 해당 균들에 대한 동정도 이뤄졌으며 각각 Mic. paraoxydans, Pae. castaneae, Per. frigoritolerans, Per. butanolivorans 로 확인되었으며, 이중 Paenibacillus 속을 제외하고는 송이 균사체 생장촉진 사례가 보고되지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과를 동일한 실험조건인 기존 사례(Oh et al., 2018a)와 비교하였으며, Pae. latus에 의한 230%의 송이 균사 생장촉진의 사례 등과 비교하면 그 생장촉진능은 떨어진다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 세균 자체에 의한 항진균성이 낮아 송이 근권토양에서 진균과의 경쟁에서 우위에 있다고 보기 힘들다. 그러나 송이 균사체에 대해 유의미한 생장촉진을 이끌어냈기에 본 실험의 세균 4점은 송이 생장 촉진에 대한 유효성이 있다고 판단되며 해당 세균을 이용한 배양액을 직접적으로 송이 균사체 혹은 송이 자실체에 적용하였을 경우 송이 생장에 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것으로 기대되며 이에 대한 추가적인 실험이 진행되어야 할 필요가 있다.

Objective: Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play critical roles in embryo development, and immune responses to infectious diseases. In this study, to investigate the roles of FGFs, we performed genome-wide identification, expression, and functional analyses of FGF family members in chickens. Methods: Chicken FGFs genes were identified and analyzed by using bioinformatics approach. Expression profiles and Hierarchical cluster analysis of the FGFs genes in different chicken tissues were obtained from the genome-wide RNA-seq. Results: A total of 20 FGF genes were identified in the chicken genome, which were classified into seven distinct groups (A-F) in the phylogenetic tree. Gene structure analysis revealed that members of the same clade had the same or similar exon-intron structure. Chromosome mapping suggested that FGF genes were widely dispersed across the chicken genome and were located on chromosomes 1, 4-6, 9-10, 13, 15, 28, and Z. In addition, the interactions among FGF proteins and between FGFs and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) proteins are limited, indicating that the remaining functions of FGF proteins should be further investigated in chickens. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis showed that FGF gene interacts with MAPK genes and are involved in stimulating signaling pathway and regulating immune responses. Furthermore, this study identified 15 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in 21 different growth stages during early chicken embryo development. RNA-sequencing data identified the DEG of FGFs on 1- and 3-days post infection in two indigenous Ri chicken lines infected with the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 (HPAIV). Finally, all the genes examined through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and RNA-Seq analyses showed similar responses to HPAIV infection in indigenous Ri chicken lines (R² = 0.92-0.95, p<0.01). Conclusion: This study provides significant insights into the potential functions of FGFs in chickens, including the regulation of MAPK signaling pathways and the immune response of chickens to HPAIV infections.

넓은 잎 벌로랑이의 이용에 있어서 초기생육 부진이 가장 심각한 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 유식물 활력증진을 위한 육종의 기초자료로 이용하기 위하여 종자가 작은 MO-20과 종자가 큰 302921 두 채통을 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$의 생육상에서 재배하여 유식물 활력을 비교 검토하였다. 이산화탄소 교환솔(CER)은 적외선 가스분석기를 이용하여 closed system으로 측정하였다. 암호흡솔은 Gilson 호흡계로 측정하였으며 일당 순탄소 축적솔과 유식물 생장분석도 조사하였다. 302921은 MO-20에 비해 종자크기는 약 3.5배 가량이, 최대 신장 자엽 면적은 약 2배 가량이 더 컸다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 출현후 3주까지는 302921의 초기 유식물 생장이 더 양호하였으나 3주 이후부터 시험종료시 까지는 오히려 MO-20이 302921보다 연면적당 CER이 더 높고 건물축적솔도 더 많았다. 반면 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 MO-20이 302921보다 생장이 더 억압 받았다. MO-20의 암호흡솔은 302920보다 약간 높았으나 일당 순이산화탄소 교환솔은 MO-20이 $25^{\circ}C$에서 높았고 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 낮았다. MO-20의 상대생장솔은 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 높은 순동화솔로 인하여 302921보다 높았으나 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 계통간 차이가 별로 없었다.

An immunoassay may be defined as an analytical procedure involving the competitive reaction between a limiting concentration of specific antibody and two populations of antigen, one of which is labelled or immobillized. The advent of immunoassay has revolutionised our knowledge of reproductive physiology and the practice of veterinary and clinical medicine. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) was the first of these methods to be developed, which meausred the analyte with good sensitivity, accuracy and precision (1,2). The essential components of RIA are:-(i) a limited concentration of antibodies, (ii) a reference preparation, and (iii) an antigen labelled with a radioisotope (usually tritium or iodine-125). Most procedures invelove isolating the antibody-bound fraction and measuring the amount of labelled antigen. Good facilities are available for scintilltion counting, data reduction nd statistical analysis. RIA is undergoing refinement through:-(i) the introduction of new techniques to separate the antibody-bound and free fractions which minimize the misclassification of labelled antigen into these compartments, and the amount of non-specfic binding. (3), (ii) the development of non-extration for the measurement of haptens (4), (iii) the determination of a, pp.rent free (i.e. non-protein bound) analytes (5), and (iv) the use of monoclonal antibodies(6). In 1968, Miles and Hales introduced in important new type of immunoassay which they termed immunora-diometric assay (IRMA) based on t도 use of isotopically labelled specific antibodies(7) in a move from limited to excess reagent systems. The concept of two-site IRMAs (with a capture antibody on a solid-phase, and a second labelled antibody to a different antigenic determinant of the analyte) has enabled the development of more sensitive and less-time consuming methods for the measurement of protein hormones ovar wide concentration of analyte (8). The increasing use of isotopic methos for diverse a, pp.ications has exposed several problems. For example, the radioactive half-life and radiolysis of the labelled reagent limits assay sensitivity and imposes a time limit on the usefulness of a kit. In addition, the potential health hazards associated with the use and disposal of radioactive cmpounds and the solvents and photofluors necessary for liquid scientillation counting are incompatable with the development of extra-laboratory tests. To date, the most practical alternative labels to radioisotopes, for the measurement of analytes in a concentration > 1 ng/ml, are erythrocytes, polystyrene particiles, gold sols, dyes and enzymes or cofactors with a visual or colorimetric end-point(9). Increased sensitivity to<1 pg/ml may be obtained with fluorescent and chemiluminescent labels, or enzymes with a fluorometric, chemiluminometric or bioluminometric end-point. The sensitivity of any immunoassay or immunometric assay depends on the affinity of the antibody-antigen reaction, the specific activity of the label, the precision with which the reagents are manipulated and the nonspecific background signal (10). The sensitivity of a limited reagent system for the measurement of haptens or proteins is mainly dependent upon the affinity of the antibodies and the smalleest amount of reagent that may be manipulated. Consequently, it is difficult in practice to improve on the sensitivity obtained with iodine-125 as the label. Conversely, with excess reagent systems for the measurement of proteins it is theoretically possible to increase assay sensitivity at least 1000 fold with alternative luminescent labels. To date, a 10-fold improvement has been achieved, and attempts are being made to reduce the influence of other variables on the specific signal from the immunoreaction.

Purpose PET-CT imaging require an appropriate quality assurance system to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Quality control is essential for improving the quality of care and patient safety. Currently, there are performance evaluation methods of UN2-1994 and UN2-2001 proposed by NEMA and IEC for PET-CT image evaluation. In this study, we compare phantom images with the same experiments before and after PET-CT 3D normalization and well counter correction and evaluate the usefulness of quality control. Materials and methods Discovery 690 (General Electric Healthcare, USA) PET-CT equiptment was used to perform 3D normalization and well counter correction as recommended by GE Healthcare. Based on the recovery coefficients for the six spheres of the NEMA IEC Body Phantom recommended by the EARL. 20kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the sphere of the phantom and 2kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the body of phantom. PET-CT scan was performed with a radioacitivity ratio of 10:1. Images were reconstructed by appliying TOF+PSF+TOF, OSEM+PSF, OSEM and Gaussian filter 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6,5 mm with matrix size 128×128, slice thickness 3.75 mm, iteration 2, subset 16 conditions. The PET image was attenuation corrected using the CT images and analyzed using software program AW 4.7 (General Electric Healthcare, USA). The ROI was set to fit 6 spheres in the CT image, RC (Recovery Coefficient) was measured after fusion of PET and CT. Statistical analysis was performed wilcoxon signed rank test using R. Results Overall, after the quality control items were performed, the recovery coefficient of the phantom image increased and measured. Recovery coefficient according to the image reconstruction increased in the order TOF+PSF, TOF, OSEM+PSF, before and after quality control, RCmax increased by OSEM 0.13, OSEM+PSF 0.16, TOF 0.16, TOF+PSF 0.15 and RCmean increased by OSEM 0.09, OSEM+PSF 0.09, TOF 0.106, TOF+PSF 0.10. Both groups showed a statistically significant difference in Wilcoxon signed rank test results (P value<0.001). Conclusion PET-CT system require quality assurance to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Standardized intervals and procedures should be followed for quality control. We hope that this study will be a good opportunity to think about the importance of quality control in PET-CT

Background: Brucella infection induces brucellosis, a zoonotic disease. The intracellular circulation process and virulence of Brucella mainly depend on its type IV secretion system (T4SS) expressing secretory effectors. Secreted protein BspJ is a nucleomodulin of Brucella that invades the host cell nucleus. BspJ mediates host energy synthesis and apoptosis through interaction with proteins. However, the mechanism of BspJ as it affects the intracellular survival of Brucella remains to be clarified. Objectives: To verify the functions of nucleomodulin BspJ in Brucella's intracellular infection cycles. Methods: Constructed Brucella abortus BspJ gene deletion strain (B. abortus ∆BspJ) and complement strain (B. abortus pBspJ) and studied their roles in the proliferation of Brucella both in vivo and in vitro. Results: BspJ gene deletion reduced the survival and intracellular proliferation of Brucella at the replicating Brucella-containing vacuoles (rBCV) stage. Compared with the parent strain, the colonization ability of the bacteria in mice was significantly reduced, causing less inflammatory infiltration and pathological damage. We also found that the knockout of BspJ altered the secretion of cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ) in host cells and in mice to affect the intracellular survival of Brucella. Conclusions: BspJ is extremely important for the circulatory proliferation of Brucella in the host, and it may be involved in a previously unknown mechanism of Brucella's intracellular survival.

Since April 2012, doctor fish in the breeding tank and in the quarantine tank in Hanwha Aquaplanet Yeosu Aquarium have been dying, accompanied by diffuse bleeding around the mouth, in the chin, and at the bottom of the abdomen. In this study, the cause of death would be examined through the bacteriological study of doctor fish and the rearing water quality in the aquarium. The water quality and the bacterial counts of the rearing water in the exhibit tank and in the quarantine tank were analyzed once a week, starting from August to November 2014. Water quality was measured based on the following data: temperature was in the range of 24.5~26.8℃, pH at 6.77~7.94, DO at 6.15~8.61 ppm, ammonia at 0~0.93 ppm, nitrite at 0.009~0.075 ppm, and nitrate at 1.1~40.9 ppm. Studies revealed that the differences in these water quality factors were not related to the death of doctor fish. Bacterial counts in the rearing waters of Garra rufa slightly increased to 10³~10⁴ CFU/ml, just before the death of the doctor fish. Twelve strains of bacteria were isolated from the dead fish and rearing waters. The isolates were identified as Aeromonas veronii, Citrobacter freundii, Pseudorhodoferax aquiterrae, Shewanella putrefaciens, and Vibrio anguillarum on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The most dominant species was C. freundii, which showed medium sensitivity to florfenicol and norfloxacin, and was resistant to amoxacillin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and trimethoprim. Ten isolates were confirmed to be pathogenic to the doctor fish. Doctor fish infected with C. freundii and S. putrefaciens showed high mortality in the experimental groups. These results indicate that the variation in bacterial numbers in the rearing water was related to the death of doctor fish. C. freundii and S. putrefaciens were directly implicated in causing the death of doctor fish in the aquarium.

소변 중 대마 남용여부를 판별하는데 기준이 되는 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)의 대사체 성분인 11-nor-9-carboxy-${\Delta}^9$-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH)를 고체상 추출법 (solid-phase extraction, SPE)과 가스크로마토그래피/질량분석법 (GC/MS)을 이용하여 신속하게 분석 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 본 실험은 시험관에 소변 3 mL를 취해 염기성 (pH 10) 조건에서 가수분해 한 후, 양이온교환 카트리지를 사용하여 THCCOOH 성분을 선택적으로 추출하고, 증발 건고한 다음 유도체 반응을 시켜 GC/MS로 분석하였다. 그 결과 분석방법의 검출한계 (LOD)는 0.4 ng/mL이고, 정량한계 (LOQ)는 1.2 ng/mL이였다. 검정곡선의 직선성 상관계수 ($r^2$)는 1.2 (LLE는 1.3)~50.0 ng/mL의 농도범위에서 0.999를 나타내었다. 그리고 정밀도 (precision)와 정확도 (accuracy)는 모두 ${\pm}1.20%$ 이내로 안정적이었으며, 회수율(recovery)은 83.6~90.7%로 측정되었다. 액체상 추출법 (liquid-liquid extraction, LLE)과 비교할 때, SPE 방법이 회수율은 낮았지만 검출한계, 정량한계, 정밀도 및 정확도에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 LLE 방법은 추출과정에 시간과 노력이 많이 드는 반면, SPE 방법은 상대적으로 추출 조작이 간편하고 신속하게 추출되었으며, 추출 잔류물도 깨끗하였다. SPE를 이용한 추출방법을 다수의 대마 흡연자 소변에 적용하였을 때 기존에 사용하던 LLE 방법보다 간편하고, 신속하게 대마 대사체 분석이 가능하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of different sorts of Korean traditional liquor among male and female adults in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, their awareness of them and their preference in an effort to discuss what problems Korean traditional liquors were faced with and how they could gain popularity among people in general. First, It is investigated of drinking frequency by gender, 51.3 percent of the male adults drunk once or twice a week, and 33.2 percent of the female adults drunk once or twice a month. Thus, the men drunk more often than the women. By age, the adults who were in their 20s and 30s were far different from those who were in their 50s above in drinking frequency. Second, regarding what kind of liquor they enjoyed, the men enjoyed Soju the most, followed by beer and traditional liquors. The women enjoyed beer the most, followed by Soju and wine. The favorite liquor of the men was Soju, followed by beer and traditional liquor, and the women most liked for beer, followed by wine and Soju. The female adults preferred low-proof liquor more than the male adults. Third, concerning their awareness of traditional liquor, Andong-soju was most widely viewed as traditional liquor, which were followed by Munbaeju, Gyeongju-gyodongbeopju, Gyeongju-beopju, Gukhwaju, Ssal- makgeolri, and Geumsan-insamju. Overall, they were rarely aware what traditional liquor was. Fourth, as to purchase experience, the men and the older people had more experience to buy traditional drinks than the women and the younger ones. Fifth, as for anju (dishes for traditional drinks), they believed that panfried food and Kimchi should be served with coarse liquor. Panfried and streamed dishes were considered to be good complements to Takju (rice wine) and Cheongju (clear strained rice wine), and pot stew and soup were looked upon as good complements to distilled liquor. The above-mentioned findings illustrated that in order to step up the development of the traditional liquor industry, perpetual research efforts should be put into adding new tastes to unique traditional liquor drinks. And it's required to commercialize those drinks, and multiple P.R. and marketing strategies should be prepared to promote their sales.
