대면적의 비정질 실리콘 박막을 가우스 분포(Gaussian Profile)의 일차원 선형빔(line shape beam)을 가지는 엑시머 레이저를 사용하여 결정화를 시켰다. (Corning 7059 glass)위에 증착된 비정질 실리콘 박막이 재결정화된 실리콘 박막의 경우, 두께에따라 결정화되는 모양이 다르게 나타났다. 따라서 두께에 따라 결정화되는 상태의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 angle wrapping 방법을 새롭게 도입하여 깊이에 따른 Si층이 5${\mu}m$ 이상되도록 angle wrapping한 후에 박막의 두께에 따른 micro-raman spectra를 측정하여 결정화상태에 따른 잔류응력을 조사하였다. 또한 기판의 온도가 상온인 경우에 엑시머 레이저의 밀도가 300mJ/${cm}^2$에서 열처리한 경우에 재결정화된 Si 박막의 잔류응력에 박막의 표면에서 박막의 깊이에 따라 $1.3{\times}10^10$에서 $1.6{\times}10^10$을 거쳐 $1.9{\times}10^10$ dyne/${cm}^2$으로 phase의 변화에 따라 증가하였다. 또한 기판의 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$에서 최적의 열처리 에너지 밀도인 300mJ/${cm}^2$에서는 박막의 깊이에 따른 결정화 상태의변화에 따라 thermal stress 의 값이 $8.1{\times}10^9$에서 $9.0{\times}10^9$를 거쳐 $9.9{\times}10^9$ dyne/${cm}^2$으로 변화하는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 liquid phase에서 solid phaserk 변화함에 따라 stress값이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다.

계피(계지, Cinnanmomum cassia)의 주요성분인, trans-cinnamaldehyde를 $^1H-NMR$ 분광법을 이용하여 정량분석하였다. 핵자기 공명법을 이용한 정량분석의 응용가능성을 확인하기 위하여, t-cinnamaldehyde의 $^1H-NMR$ 스펙트럼에서 시료의 농도와 측정온도를 변화시킴에 따라 chemical shift의 변화와 적분값의 변화를 관찰하였다. t-Cinnamaldehyde(7.1429 mg/ml)를 19, 25, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$ 하에서 $^1H-NMR$ 측정한 결과, aldehyde methine signal(doublet)의 chemical shift가 9.7202, 9.7184, 9.7169, 9.7142 및 9.7124 ppm에서 관측되었다. 이는 측정온도는 signal의 chemical shift의 변화에 중요한 변수가 되지 않는다는 것을 의미하였다. 또한, aldehyde signal의 적분값이 $1.37(19^{\circ}C),\;1.37(25^{\circ}C),\;1.37(30^{\circ}C),\;1.37(40^{\circ}C)$ 및 $1.37(50^{\circ}C)$로써, 측정온도가 signal의 적분값에는 전혀 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서 0.4464, 0.8929, 1.7857, 3.5714, 7.1429 및 14.286 mg/ml의 농도의 시료에 대한 $^1H-NMR$ 측정 결과, aldehyde기의 chemical shifts는 각각 9.7206, 9.7201, 9.7196, 9.7192, 9.7185 및 9.7174 ppm에서 나타났다. 이는 각 시료의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 aldehyde의 signal이 고자장으로 약간 이동하는 것으로 나타났다. Aldehyde기의 doublet methine signal의 적분값과 각 시료의 농도에 따른 calibration curve는 직선으로 나타났으며, 매우 높은 회귀율($r^2=1.0000$)을 보였다. t-Cinnamaldehyde와 aldehyde기를 갖는 물질로써, C. cassia의 또 다른 구성성분인 t-2-methoxycinnamaldehyde($7.1429\;mg/ml\;CDCl_3,\;25^{\circ}C$)에 대해서, $^1H-NMR$ 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과, t-cinnamaldehyde는 ${\delta}_H$ 9.7174(9.7078, 9.7270)서 관측되었다. t-2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde는 ${\delta}_H$ 9.6936(9.6839, 9.7032)에서 관측되었다. 따라서, 두 화합물의 chemical shift의 차이는 resolution 값이 0.45 Hz인 NMR 스펙트럼 상에서 충분히 구분할 수 있을 정도로 나타났다. 위의 방법을 이용하여, 추출용매에 따른 C. cassia 내의 t-cinnamaldehyde의 함량을 분석한 결과, n-hexane, $CHCl_3$ 및 EtOAc로 추출하였을 때에, 각각 94.2 mg/g(0.94%), 137.6 mg/g(1.38%), 140.1 mg/g(1.40%)으로 결정되었다.

MMP-9 is a metalloproteinase capable of basement membrane degradation in vivo. Expression of MMP-9 can be found in normal conditions such as trophoblasts, osteoclasts, and leukocytes and their precursors. They also occur as well as in pathological conditions, such as the invasive growth of primary tumors, metastasis, angiogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal diseases. MMP-9 upregulation can be highly induced by a wide range of agents. These agents include growth factors, cytokines, cell-cell, and cell-ECM adhesion molecules, and agents altering cell shape. Here, we observed that TNF-$\alpha$ stimulated human monocytic cell line, HL-60 produced MMP-9 in a dose and time dependent manner. Real time PCR results indicated transcriptional upregulation of MMP-9 as early as 3 h post TNF-$\alpha$ stimulation. To investigate the signaling pathway underlined in TNF-$\alpha$ induced MMP-9 expression, three MAP kinase inhibitors were added to cells 1 h prior to TNF-$\alpha$ treatment. The ERK inhibitor completely abolished MMP-9 expression by TNF-$\alpha$. But neither p38 MAP kinase nor JNK inhibitor had an effect on TNF-$\alpha$ induced MMP-9 expression, suggesting that ERK activation is required for the MMP-9 induction by TNF-$\alpha$. Taken together, we found that TNF-$\alpha$ stimulation facilitates ERK activation, which results in the transcriptional upregulation of MMP-9 gene and subsequent MMP-9 production and secretion.

Steroid $9{\alpha}$.-hydroxylase is a key enzyme system in steroid nucleus degradation in company with ${\Delta}$-dehydrogenase. To examine $9{\alpha}$-hydroxylase activity during microbial transformation of steroids, 9(11)-dehydro-$17{\alpha}$-methyl-testosterone was adopted as a stable substrate for preventing the rupture of steroid nucleus. Using Nocardia restrictus ATCC 14887 capable of introducing a $9{\alpha}$-hydroxyl group into steroids, $9{\alpha}$,$11{\alpha}$-oxido-$17{\beta}$-hydroxy-$17{\alpha}$-methyl-4-androstene-3-one and $9{\alpha}$-hydroxyl group into steroids,$9{\alpha}$,$11{\alpha}$-oxido-$17{\beta}$-hydroxy-$17{\alpha}$-methyl-1,4-androstadiene-3- one were obtained. These microbiologically transformed products could be used as reference compounds in the enzyme assay.

CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) has been developed as a transcriptional control tool by inactivating the DNA cleavage ability of Cas9 nucleases to produce dCas9 (deactivated Cas9), and leaving dCas9 the ability to specifically bind to the target DNA sequence. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has limitations in designing target-specific single-guide RNA (sgRNA) due to the dependence of protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) (5'-NGG) for binding target DNAs. Reportedly, Cas9-NG recognizing 5'-NG as the PAM sequence has been constructed by removing the dependence on the last base G of PAM through protein engineering of Cas9. In this study, a dCas9-NG protein was engineered by introducing two active site mutations in Cas9-NG, and its ability to regulate transcription was evaluated in the gal promoter in E. coli. Analysis of cell growth rate, D-galactose consumption rate, and gal transcripts confirmed that dCas9-NG can completely repress the promoter by recognizing DNA targets with PAM of 5'-NGG, NGA, NGC, NGT, and NAG. Our study showed possible PAM sequences for dCas9-NG and provided information on target-specific sgRNA design for regulation of both gene expression and cellular metabolism.

Genome editing using CRISPR-associated technology is widely used to modify the genomes rapidly and efficiently on specific DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by Cas9 endonuclease. However, despite swift advance in Cas9 engineering, structural basis of Cas9-recognition and cleavage complex remains unclear. Proper assembly of this complex correlates to effective Cas9 activity, leading to high efficacy of genome editing events. Here, we develop a CRISPR/Cas9-RAD51 plasmid constitutively expressing RAD51, which can bind to single-stranded DNA for DSB repair. We show that the efficiency of CRISPR-mediated genome editing can be significantly improved by expressing RAD51, responsible for DSB repair via homologous recombination (HR), in both gene knock-out and knock-in processes. In cells with CRISPR/Cas9-RAD51 plasmid, expression of the target genes (cohesin SMC3 and GAPDH) was reduced by more than 1.9-fold compared to the CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid for knock-out of genes. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9-RAD51 enhanced the knock-in efficiency of DsRed donor DNA. Thus, the CRISPR/Cas9-RAD51 system is useful for applications requiring precise and efficient genome edits not accessible to HR-deficient cell genome editing and for developing CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout technology.

Circling mice were recorded to display profound deafness and a head-tossing and bidirectional circling behavior, showing an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. In addition, the histological examination of inner ears revealed that the region around organ of Corti, spiral ganglion neurons and outer hair cells showed definite abnormality. On the other hand, a genetic linkage map was constructed in an intraspecific backcross between cir and C57BL/6J mice. The cir gene was mapped to a region between D9Mitl16/D9Mit15 and D9Mit38 on the mouse chromosome 9. Estimated distances between cir and D9Mitl16, and between cir and D9Mit38 are 0.70 $\pm$ 0.40 and 0.23 $\pm$ 0.23 cM, respectively. The markers in order was defined as follows: centromere-D9Mit182- D9Mit51/ D9Mit79/ D9Mit310- D9Mit212/ D9Mit184- D9Mit116/ D9Mit15- cir- D9Mit38- D9Mit20- D9Mit243- D9Mit16- D9Mit55/ D9Mit125- D9Mit281 Based on genetic mapping, we constructed for a YAC contig across cir region. They covered the entire region or cir and cir gene was located on between the lactotransferrin (ltf) and the macrotubule-associated protein (map4). It is known that sr gene is localized in 64cM of mouse chromosome 9. The two mouse were found to be allelic by complementation test. Recently the spinner mouse has been mapped to our cir region, and tmie gene were elucidated. And further study will be needed in circling mouse to prove tmie gene mutaiton.
