  • tRNA는 그 생화학적인 역할이 잘 알려져 있고 구조적으로 안정하며, 이용할 수 있는 분자 생물학적인 자료가 많아, 유전자 발현과 유전자 산물간의 조직적인 상호작용을 연구하는데 적합한 재료이다. 효모의 미토콘드리아에는 24개의 tRNA 유전자가 잇어, 단백질 합성에 필요한 tRNA를 자급하고 있으나, 유전자 발현과 processing에 관여하는 모든 정보가, tRNA의 5' 부위를 process하는데 관여하는 효소중 RNA subunit인 9S RNA를 산출하는 tsl 유전자를 제외하고, 핵 유전자에 존재한다. 효모의 대표적인 종인 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 $tRNA^{Asp}$ 유전자에 결함이 생긴 한 돌연변이 균주의 성질을 조사하고, 억제현상(suppression)을 규명하므로써 tRNA의 구조적 특성을 파악하고, 나아가 미토콘드리아 생성에 관여하는 핵 유전자를 찾아보고자 한다.

  • Biochemical research was carried out on 4 human skeletal remains from historical lime-layered tombs assigned to the Joseon Dynasty in Oknam-ri, Seocheon. The preservation of femur was evaluated by stereoscopic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Most of specimens showed good histological preservation. The histological results proved to be a good potentiality for biochemical analysis using bio-molecules. The amelogenin gene and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses revealed that three specimens perhaps have maternal consanguinity due to sharing with mtDNA haplogroup D4b1, and two specimens buried in the same tomb were a couple in Gatjaegol site. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis indicated that four deads diet were built around C3 plant as rice, barley, wheat and bean. In this study we characterized genetic and diet features from the social stratum who could make lime-layered tombs during period of the Joseon Dynasty. The results suggest that biochemical research using the human skeletal remains from the Joseon Dynasty has the great potential and reasonable value for archaeology, anthropology, and population genetics.

  • In the present study, using biological information of bacteria and biochemical information of chlorine dioxide gas, Gram-positive bacteria, e.g., Alloiococcus otitis, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Staphylococcus caprae, Staphylococcus lentus, and gram-negative bacteria, e.g., Acinetobacter baumannii complex, Aeromonas salmonicida, Brucella melitensis, Oligella ureolytica were used whether a plastic kit to release ClO2 gas could inhibit their growth. Overall, chlorine dioxide gas showed about 99% inhibition of bacterial growth, with less than 10 CFU. However, it was found that Gram positive Alloiococcus otitis and Gram negative Aeromonas salmonicida had more than about 50 CFU. When comparing the results of experiments with several bacteria, it suggested that the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas would be at least 10 ppm to 400 ppm for the bacterial inhibition. The results of this study could be used as basic data to evaluate the clinical usefulness of chlorine dioxide gas. If this study helps with prior knowledge to help clinicians to recognize and prevent the presence of micro-organisms that cause infections in hospitals, it would be helpful for activities such as patient care as a convergence field. In the future, it is considered that the research results will be the basis for rapidly inhibiting the microbes infected with patients by utilizing data of the information of the microbes that are inhibited for chlorine dioxide gas.

  • Leucine-responsive Regulatory Protein (Lrp) is a global regulator involved in modulating a variety of metabolic functions, including the catabolism and anabolism of amino acids as well as pili synthesis. In addition, there is growing evidences that Lrp may play an important role when cells make transition between rich and lean nutritional conditions. In this review, the biochemical characteristics of Lrp are described to provide a good example that shows how bacteria adapt to nutrient limitation and environmental stress.

  • Currently, oriental medicine research is focused with modern research technology and validate it's various biochemical effect by combining with molecular biology technology. But there are few searching system for finding biochemical mechanism which is related to major compounds in oriental medicine. In this research, we aimed developing korean herb database based on text-mining system by analyzing PubMed data. We have developed prototype system for searching chemical, gene and biological relation in oriental medicine. It is characterized by modern oriental medicine research trend with major chemical, gene and protein information. Analysis results can be searched on the prototype system with visualization of the biological interactions.

  • 파킨슨병은 도파민계 신경이 파괴되는 질병으로 알츠하이머병과 함께 대표적인 퇴행성 뇌 질환으로 병의 진행을 완화시킬 수 있는 치료법이 존재하기 때문에 병의 진단이 굉장히 중요하다. 파킨슨병을 진단하기 위한 과거의 연구는 대부분 단일 생체지표를 이용하는 것이었지만 이러한 방법에는 한계성이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생화학적 생체지표인 뇌척수액 내의 ${\alpha}-synuclein$ 단백질 수치와 영상학적 생체지표인 확산 텐서 영상의 여러 모수들을 결합한 융합 생체지표를 특징으로 사용하는 파킨슨병 진단 모델을 개발하고 성능을 평가하였다. 10-fold cross validation 에서 모든 성능지표에 대해 최고 100%를 보였으며, cross validation 의 과적합을 감안하더라도 파킨슨병의 조기진단에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of education for hemodialysis patient with a family caregiver on self-care practice and on blood biochemical parameters. A nonequivalent control group pretest and posttest design has been employed for analysis. Among hemodialysis patients in C university hospital located in Daegu, 56 subjects, 28 in experimental and 28 in control group, participated in the study from April to May in 2015. The experimental group whose family caregiver participated in education for hemodialysis patient reported significant differences in self-care practice (t=3.36, p=.001) and serum potassium level (t=2.78, p=.007) from the control group whose family caregiver did not participate. Considering positive effects of family education, we suggest education programs incorporating family caregivers be used as an effective nursing intervention.

  • The ability or inability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a classic inherited trait that has been best-studied in human populations. Also, variation in PTC perception has been correlated with dietary preferences and thus may have important consequence for diet-related diseases in modem populations. The recent identification of the TAS2R38 gene (PTC gene) which is a member of TAS2R family of bitter taste receptor genes and three common polymorphisms in the gene is highly correlated with taste sensitivity to PTC. Balancing natural selection has acted to maintain high frequency of both alleles of the gene in human population. Future detailed studies of the relationships between molecular mechanisms and taste function may have therapeutic implications, such as helping patients to consume beneficial bitter-tasting compounds.

  • 우리나라 해산어류양식의 중요양식품종인 조피볼락은 양식년수가 증가됨에 따라 양성과정 중에 여러 가지 폐사 유형을 동반하고 있다. 최근 남해안 가두리에서는 수면을 부유하는 등 이상유영을 동반한 복수증예가 연중 산발적으로 발생하고 있으며, 특히 수온이 15$^{\circ}C$이하로 떨어지는 10월에서 이듬해 2월에 걸친 저수온기에 다발하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 그러나, 본 증예에 대한정보는 Kang등(1999년)이 수의 병리학회에 보고한 것 외에는 없는 실정으로, 그 대책 마련이 어려운 실정에 있다. (중략)
