젖산균의 유전자 연구를 촉진하기 위해 간단하고 신속한 plasmid DNA의 분리방법과 electro-poration을 이용하여 vector plasmid의 간단하고 신속한 전이방법을 얻기 위해 젖산균의 형질전환에 영향하는 요인에 대하여 연구하였으며 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. O'Sullivan과 Klaenhammer의 방법을 개선하여 젖산균 plasmid DNA의 분리에 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있는 신속하고 쉬운 방법을 고안하였으며, genomic DNA 분리에 이용되는 guanidium thio-cyanate 처리방법을 plasmid의 분리에 적용할 수 있었다. 2. L. casei, L. acidophilus. L. delbruekii var. bulgaricus. L. brevis와 L. plantarum 균주에서 plasmid를 확인하였으며, 돼지 분에서 분리된 L. lactis ssp. lactis. L. fermentum과 L. plantarum에서도 plasmid를 분리 확인하였다. 3. Lactococci의 plasmid분리는 lactobacilli와는 달리 mutanolysin의 처리없이도 잘 되었으며, L. lactis ssp. lactis와 Ent. faecalis에서 plasmid를 확인하였다. 4. E. coli plasimd 분리에 이용되는 MPS membrane filter 방법으로 젖산균 plasmid pLZ12의 분리가 가능하였으나, 세포파편이 filter를 막아 사용에 어려움이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 5. Plasmid 분리없이 electroporation을 이용한 세포 대 세포 전이법으로 간편하고 빠르게 E. coli DH5${\alpha}$에 E. coli Jm109의 plasmid pBX19, pBR322를 전이시켰다. 6. L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 lysozyme 처리시 30${\sim}$80%의 생존율을 보였으며, 대부분의 L. acidophilus 균주의 경우 약 70%의 생존율을 보였다. L. casei 102S의 경우는 45분간 처리 시에도 100%의 생존율을 보였다. 8. L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 pLZ12를 6.0kV에서 전이시킨 결과 12.5kV에서보다 형질전환 효율이 훨씬 높았으며 lysozyme 처리에 의해 형질전환 효율이 증가되었다. 9. L. acidophilus 균주에 pLZ12를 전이시 6.0kV에서는 전이가 모두 이루어졌으나, 12.5kV에서는 L. acidophilus WIESBY와 NCFM에서 전이가 이루어지지 않았으며, lysozyme 처리 후 pLZ12를 전이시켰을 때 12kV보다 6.0kV에서 형질전환 효율이 증가되었다. 10. Gene Pulser와 Progenitor II를 사용하여 pLZ12를 L. lactis ssp. lactis 균주에 전이하였을 때 Gene Pulser에 비해 Progenitor II의 형질전환 효율이 현저히 떨어졌다. L. acidophilus HY7008과 HY7001은 두 기기 모두 형질전환이 이루어졌으나, L. acidophilus WEISBY와 NCFM은 Progeni-tor II에서 전이가 일어나지 않았으며, Gene Pulser에서 전이균주를 얻어 두 electroporator간에 형질전환 효율의 차이를 보였다. 11. L. casei 102S에 pLZ12를 electroporation시 낮은 전압에서 형질전환 효율이 비교적 좋았으며, 배양 시기를 달리하여 전이시켰을 때 대수생장 말기의 세포가 형질전환 효율이 좋았다. 12. L. casei 102S세포를 각각 10% glycerol, EB, 2차 증류수 등에 녹여 electroporation을 실시하였을 때 각각 $3.8{\times}10^3$, $5.0{\times}10^2$,1.5${\times}10^2$cfu의 형질전환 효율을 보였으며, 1.0mM HEPES, TE buffer를 사용하였을 때에는 전이가 이루어지지 않았다. 13. Plasmid pLZ12의 농도를 달리하여 electroporation을 하였을 때 형질전환 효율이 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 14. L. casei 102S에 대수생장 말기의 세포를 채취하여 10% glycerol, 200 Ohms, 25 ${\mu}$FD, 10kV/cm로 plasmid pLZ12를 electroporation할 때 최대 형질전환 효율인 3.8${\times}$10$^{3}$cfu를 얻었으며, lysozyme 처리가 다른 젖산균과는 달리 형질전환 효율을 증가시키지 못하였다. 15. L. casei 102S 세포를 10% glycerol과 EB에 녹여 -20$^{\circ}C$에서 냉동시킨 다음 1일과 7일 후의 세포를 electroporation한 결과 냉동시 세포에 손상을 주는 것으로 인식되었다.

The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of bone scans in routine preoperative examinations of patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung carcinoma. Material and Method: We reviewed the medical records of 258 patients who were newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in our hospital between January 2000 and December 2000. More than half of the patients (132) were deemed to be inoperable due to their advanced stage based on the CT scans. The remaining 126 patients were considered potentially operable. For these patients, clinical evaluation including the presence of bone pain, serum alkaline phosphatase, and calcium levels was used as clinical predictors of bone metastasis. All patients received bone scans. Bone X-rays, MRI or bone biopsy were performed to confirm the presence of bone metastasis. The usefulness of the bone scan was evaluated by comparing its power of predicting bone metastasis to that of the clinical information. Result: In all patients, the positive and negative predictive values of bone scans for the bone metastasis were 44%, and 99%, respectively. Those of the clinical information were 38% , and 94%. However, in potentially operable patients, the negative predictive value of the clinical information was as high as 99%. Conclusion: If newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer patients are presented as potentially operable on the basis of CT scan with no clinical evidence of distant metastases, curative resection could be considered without performing routine bone scans because of the low probability of bone metastasis. However, if there are positive clinical findings, further evaluations, including bone scan should be followed as metastasis will be documented in more than 30% of patients.

계면활성제용액에 서로 다른 기능을 하는 두 종류의 첨가제를 투입하여 미셀의 미 세구조 전이현상을 규명하였다. 양이온 계면활성제는 CMC 이상의 농도에서 2단계의 미세 구조 전이거동을 나타낸다. 우선 구형 미셀은 첨가제의 투입에 의하여 표면에서의 친수성기 간의 반발력이 감소됨으로써 실린더형 또는 디스크형미셀로 전이가 일어난다. 더욱 농도가 증가하면 이방성을 가지는 실린더형 미셀간의 중첩 또는 hooking 현상에 의한 두 번째 전 이가 일어난다. 이때 미셀 용액은 흔히 점탄성을 나타내거나 확연한 비뉴톤성 유체거동을 나타낸다. 본 연구에선 heptanol의 화확구조적 차이가 물성에 나타내는효과를 규명하고 wormlike 미셀을 형성하는 MaSal에 의한 점탄성 거동을 살펴보았다. Heptanol의 화학구조 의 영향을 보면 약친수성기인 OH기가 알킬그룹과 나란하게 존재하여 밀집된 구조를 가지 기 쉬운 primary heptanol이 가장효과적으로 미세구조 전이를 유도함을 관찰하였다. 다른 이성질 hetanol의 경우 secondary heptanol이 teriary heptanol에 비하여 효과적임을 보이지 만 화학재할수 있는 농도범위가 매우 좁아 대부분 영역에서 비뉴톤성거동을 나타냄을 확인 하였다. 즉 NaSal를 사용한 경우 실린더형 미셀이 존재할 수 있는농도범위가 매우 좁아 대 부분 영역에서 비뉴톤성 거동을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 즉 NaSal 이 첨가된 용액은 선형점탄 성거동을 보이며 몰비가 증가함에 따라 scission 과정이 관찰되었다. 또한 몰농도비에 따라 항복응력과 shear thickening 특징을 보이는데 이는 흐름장의 세기에 따라 미세구조 변화가 일어나기 때문이다.

Purpose : Spine is one of the most common sites of the metastatic bone tumors. Conservative management such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy has been preferred in most cases. However, the neurologic deficit has not been usually improved, and the quality of life was poor. The purpose of this study was to show the efficacy of the surgical treatments for metastatic spinal tumors in terms of postoperative improvements of neurologic deficit and survival time. Materials and Methods : Authors have reviewed the literatures and analyzed 14 patients of metastatic spinal tumors who were received operative treatments between August 1991 and June 1999 at the our department of orthopaedic surgery. Results : The most frequent primary tumor was breast cancer in women and lung cancer in men. The thoracic region was the most common site. There was a preponderance of females over males, and the age ranged between 4th and 8th decade. The indications of surgical treatment comprised instability, progressive neurologic findings, resistance to radiotherapy, pathological fracture, long life expectancy( >6weeks), isolated metastasis and need for pathological diagnosis. The degree of preoperative neurological deficit might influence on the improvement of clinical symptoms after surgery. Conclusion : The surgical treatment reduced the neurological deficit and pain regardless of the operative methods. In the early stage of neurological deficit, the surgical treatment was important for better prognosis. Recently early active operative treatment was performed for metastatic spinal tumor to minimize the intractable pain and to prevent the progression of the neurologic deficit. Early intervention can improve the quality of life and long term survival.

We report a case of the successful anatomical correction of the Taussig-Bing anomaly associated with the interrupted aortic arch and intramural left coronary artery for an 38 day-old infant Aortic arch and neoaortic reconstructions were conducted without any prosthetic or pericardial patch. Intramural left coronary was separated from right one after partial detachment of aortic commissure and both coronary artery buttons were transferred separately to the proximal main pulmonary artery(nee-aorta). Delayed sternal closure was done 3 days after the operation and hospital discharge was delayed for a month because of postoperative pneumonia. Now he is 5 months old and free of symptoms and cardiac drugs.

This study aims to develop time headway distribution models of bicycle traffic flow in a uninterrupted bikeway. The sample data were collected and classified into two groups of traffic volume levels. The lower level traffic volume is defined to be under 8 bicycles per minute, and the higher one is greater or equal to 8 bicycles per minute. The data aggregation interval size was set to be 0.5-second. Four distribution models including normal distribution, negative exponential distribution, shifted negative exponential distribution, and Pearson III distribution were tested, and Chi-square test results shows that the negative exponential distribution and the shifted negative exponential distribution are well fitted to the sample data. Another test results with different sample data also shows the same conclusion.

Because a railway bridge is designed over a long period of time and covers a large site, it involves various environmental factors and uncertainties. For this reason, design changes often occur, even if the design was thoroughly reviewed in the initial design stage. In particular, design changes of large-scale facilities, such as railway bridges, consume significant time and cost, and it is extremely inefficient to repeat all the procedures each time. In this study, a technique that can improve the efficiency of learning after design change was developed by utilizing the learning result before design change through transfer learning among deep-learning algorithms. For analysis, scenarios were created, and a database was built using a previously developed railway bridge deep-learning-based prediction system. The proposed method results in similar accuracy when learning only 1000 data points in the new domain compared with the 8000 data points used for learning in the old domain before the design change. Moreover, it was confirmed that it has a faster convergence speed.

Hyporheic zone is a region beneath and alongside a stream, river, or lake bed, where there is mixing of shallow groundwater and surfacewater. Hyporheic exchange controls a variety of physical, biogeochemical and thermal processes, and provides unique ecotones in a aquatic ecosystem. Field and experimental observations, and modeling studies indicate that hyporheic exchange is mainly in response to pressure gradients driven by the geomorphological features of stream beds. In the reach scale of a stream, pool-riffle structures dominate the exchange patterns. Flow over a pool-riffle sequence develops recirculation zones and stagnation points, and this flow structures make irregular pressure gradient which is driving force of the hyporheic exchange. In this study, 3 D hydro-dynamic model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the surface water and Darcy's Law and the continuity equation for ground water. The two sets of equations are coupled via the pressure distribution along the interface. Simulation results show that recirculation zones and stagnation points in the pool-riffle structures dominantly control the upwelling and downwelling patterns. With decrease of recirculation zones, length of donwelling zone formed in front of riffles is reduced and position of maximum downwelling point moves downward. The numerical simulation could successfully predict the behavior of hyporheic exchange and contribute the field study, river management and restoration.

The current study examines the mediation effect of the work-family spillover between full-time married working women's inefficient working culture and career interruption intention. The mediation effect is tested by classifying the work-family spillover effect into two subfactors: the work-family conflict and the work-family facilitation. For this purpose, we sampled 281 full-time married working women aged between 30 and 50s and conducted a hierarchical regression analysis. The main results are as follows: both work-family conflict and work-family facilitation play the role of partial mediation. This finding implies that it is necessary to carefully examine the effects of subfactors for work-family spillover to married working women's career interruption.

This study explored whether the transition to living with a chronic disease changes the level of depression symptoms among middle-aged and older adults in South Korea. We hypothesize that the transition to living with chronic disease leads to a higher level of depressive symptoms. A nationally representative sample (N = 6,284) of adults 45 years and older from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) was analyzed. Multi-regression modeling was used to examine the association between the diagnosis of chronic disease and the level of depressive symptoms in patients. The findings highlight the need for policy makers, clinicians, as well as patients and their caregivers to become more aware of mental health risks in patients diagnosed with chronic diseases, particularly first-time patients. This study contributes to encouraging greater psychosocial support, including monitoring the level of depressive symptoms of patients who develop chronic conditions and providing appropriate treatments for those at the highest risk.
