Background: Deletion types of genetic variants of glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 and T1, the GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null which are risk factors for certain cancers, have been ubiquitously found in human populations but their worldwide distribution pattern is unclear. Materials and Methods: To perform a meta-analysis, a systematic search for the literature on GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes was done to identify 63 reports for 81 human populations. Relationships between the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype frequencies and the absolute latitude of 81 populations were tested by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results: A significant positive correlation was detected between the GSTM1 null genotype frequency and the absolute latitude (r=0.28, p-value <0.05), whereas the GSTT1 null genotype frequency and absolute latitude showed a significant negative correlation (r= -0.41 p-value <0.01). There was no correlation between the frequencies of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype in each population (r= -0.029, p-value=0.80). Conclusions: Latitudinal clines of the distribution of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes may be attributed to the result of gene-environmental adaptation. No functional compensation between GSTM1 and GSTT1 was suggested by the lack of correlation between the null frequencies for GSTM1 and GSTT1.

The hydro(solve)thermal reaction of zinc(II) nitrate $(Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O)$ with $1,3-BDCH_2\;(1,3-BDC= 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate)$ in the presence of pyridine a gave 1-dimensional zinc polymer $[Zn(1,3- BDC)({\mu}_4-O)\;(pyridine)_2]$ (1). X-ray structure determination revealed that polymer 1 has a quadruply bridging oxygen $({\mu}_4-O)$ ligand. This polymer consists of two strands linked by 1,3-BDC ligands, and each strand is formed by connecting the monomer units by 1,3-DBC ligands.

The structures of the conformers for 1,3-di-t-butyl-2,4-dinitro-tetramethoxysulfonylcalix[4]arene (1) and 1,2-di-t-butyl-3,4-dinitro-tetramethoxysulfonylcalix[4]arene (2) were optimized using DFT BLYP and mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) (hybrid HF-DF) calculation methods. We have analyzed the total electronic and Gibbs free energies and the differences between the various conformations (cone, partial-cone (PC), 1,2-alternate, and 1,3-alternate) of 1 and 2. For both compounds, the 1,3-alternate (1,3-A) conformers were calculated to be the most stable, which correlate very well with the experimental results. The orderings of the relative stability of 1 and 2 that resulted from the mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) calculations are the following: 1: 1,3-A (syn) > PC (syn) > PC (anti) > 1,2-A (anti) > CONE (syn); 2: 1,3-A (anti) > PC (anti) > PC (syn) > 1,2-A (anti) > 1,2-A (syn) > CONE (syn). The BLYP/6-31G(d) calculated IR spectra of the most stable 1,3-A conformers of 1 and 2 are compared.

In this paper, we estimate the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model for web service when the mean object size in the M/H₂/1 model is equal to that of the M/G/1/PS and M/BP/1 models. To this end, we use the mean object size obtained by assuming that the mean latency of deterministic model is equal to that of M/H₂/1, M/G/1/PS, and M/BP/1 models, respectively. Computational experiments show that if the shape parameter of the M/BP/1 model is 1.1 and the system load is greater than 0.35, the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model when mean object size of M/H₂/1 model is the same as that of M/G/1/PS model is almost equal to the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model when the mean object size of M/H₂/1 model is the same as that of M/BP/1 model. In addition, as the upper limit of the M/BP/1 model increases, the number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model converges to one, which increases latency. These results mean that it is efficient to use small-sized objects in the web service environment.

In order to synthesize novel anticonvulsants, we researched that the reactions of diamines with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran and 1,3-acetonedicarboxylic acid. The reaction of ethylenediamine with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran and 1,3-acetonedicarboxylic acid afforded 8-(2-pyrrol-1-yl-ethyl)-8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-one (yield; 5.0%) and 1,2-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan3-onyl)ethane (yield; 17.0%). In case of 1,3-diaminopropane, 8-(3-pyrrol-1-yl-propyl)-8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-one(yield; 6.0%) and 1,3-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-onyl)propane (yield; 21.0%) were obtained. In case of 1,8-diaminooctane, 8-(8-pyrrol-1-yl-octyl)-8-aza-bicyclo-[3,2,1]octan-3-one (yield; 2.6 %) and 1,8-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-onyl)octane (yield; 24.9%) were obtained. In diaminobenzene reactions, synthetic yields of 8-aza-bicyclo-[3,2,1]octan-3-one derivatives were higher than those of pyrrole derivatives because re actions were done under room temperature. The longer the carbon chain of diaminoalkane is, the more reactive N atom is due to more electron donating effect, and the less steric hindrance around the carbon gave the higher chemical yields. The reaction of p-phenylenediamine as a diaminobenzene with 2,5-dimethoxyte-trahydrofuran and 1,3-acetonedicarboxylic acid produced p-dipyrrolylbenzene (yield; 4.0%), 8-(4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl)-8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-one (yield; 12.0%), and 1,4-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-onyl)benzene (yield; 59.0%). In case of m-phenylenediamine, 8-(3-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl)-8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-one(yield; 2.0%) and 1,3-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-3-onyl)benzene (yield ; 28.0%) were obtained. But, synthesis of 1,2-di-(8-aza-bicyclo[3,2,l]octan-3-onyl)benzene by treatment of o-phenylenediamine was not successful, presumably due to the steric hindrance of 8-aza-bicyclo-[3,2,1]octan-3-one rings.

The four 1,1-disubstituted 2-vinylcyclopropanes, 1,1-diphenyl-2-vinylcyclopropane (1a), 1,1-dicyano-2-vinylcyclopropane(1b), ethyl 1-cyano-2-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate(1c), and diethyl 2-vinylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate(1d) rearranged below $300{\circ}C$ to the corresponding 4,4-disubstituted cyclopentenes, 4,4-diphenylcyclopentene(2a), 3-cyclopentene-1,1-dicarboxylate(2d). Diphenpyl derivative 1a rearranged almost quantitatively to 4,4-diphenylcyclopentene(2a) at the temperature of $250{\circ}C$. Although dicyano derivative 1b in solution underwent the thermal rearrangement at rather low temperature of $170{\circ}C$, the other vinylcyclopropanes, 1c and 1d, in solution rearranged thermally above $220{\circ}C$. In the thermal reaction of 1b, 1c, and 1d considerable amounts of polymers 3 were also produced. Also detected product was the ring-opened diene, ethyl 2-cyano-2,4-hexadienoate(4), in case of the pyrolysis of 1c. The observed facile rearrangement of disubstituted vinylcyclopropanes was explained by the radical stabilization effect of substituents on the diradical intermediates 5.

Twenty-three cultivars of colored rice were collected from inside and outside Korea to determine the contents of pigments and phenolic compounds, and also to compare their correlations with antioxidativity and antimutagenicity. The pigment content decreased in the order of LK 1-3-6-12-1-1>LK 1D 2-7-12-1-1>Elwee>Mutumanikam>IR 1544-38-2-2-1-2-2>wx 124-163-45-7-1-1-1, LK 1A-2-12-1-1. Polyphenolic content was the greatest in IR 17491-5-4-3-3 with a ratio of 0.244 g per 100 g brown rice, followed by LK 1-3-6-12-1-1>LK 1D2-12-1>Elwee>Mutumanikam 7 IR 1544-38-2-2-1-2-2, LK 1A-2-12-1-1. The pigment contents for each colored rice cultivar showed a highly positive correlation with polyphenolics in colored rice seeds. For chromaticity, a positive correlation was exhibited between the lightness and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In contrast, a negative correlation was observed between the redness and the inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation.

중증 만성 치주염과 1L-1B+3954 및 1L-1A+4845 유전자의 대립유전자 2 보유 유전자 다변성이 관련된다고 보고되었다. 그러나 이러한 1L-1 복합유전자 다변성과 만성 치주염 및 급진성 치주염과의 관련성에 대해서는 상반되게 보고되고 있는데 이는 인종적 배경과 질환특성의 차이에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 이 연구는 한국인에서 경도, 중등도와 중증의 만성 치주염 그리고 급진성 치주염 환자를 대상으로 하여 1L-1A+4845, 1L-1B+3954, 1L1B-511, 1L-1 RN intron 2 (VNTR) 유전자 다변성의 분포를 평가하고, 치주질환의 심도와 유형에 관련되는지 알아보고자 시행되었다. 전남대학교 병원 치주과에서 검진과 치료를 받은 100명의 치주질환자를 대상으로 하였고 질환군은 치주낭 깊이, 부착 소실, 골 소실을 기준으로 하여 경도, 중등도, 중증의 만성 치주염, 급진성 치주염군으로 분류하였다. 대조군으로는 전남대학교 병원 소아치과에 내원한 전신적으로 건강한 92명의 아동을 포함하였다. 각 대상 환자에서 채취된 협점막상피에서 genomic DNA를 얻어 1L-1A+4845, 1L-1B+3954, 1L-1B-511 genotype은 중합효소 연쇄반응을 시행한 후 제한 효소분해과정을 거쳐 전기영동 후 분리한 결과를 해석하였으며 1L-1 RN(VNTR) 유전형은 중합효소연쇄반응 후 분리한 결과를 해석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 대립유전자 2 보유자 비율은 치주질환자에서 1L-1A+4845, 1L-1B+3954, 1L-1B-511, 1L-1 RN이 각각 61%, 13%, 76.6%, 34%였으며 대조군에서는 76.9%, 7.7%, 62.2%, 19.1%였다. 1L-1B+3954과 1L-1A+4845 대립유전자 2 보유자인 양성유전자형 비율은 경도, 중등도, 중증의 만성치주염, 급진성 치주염환자에서 각각 10%, 7.9%, 22.2%, 12% 였으며 치주질환자의 13%, 대조군의 7.7%에서 양성 복합유전자형(positive genotype)을 보였다. IL-1B-511 유전자 다변성은 치주질환자에서 대조군에 비하여 높았으며 급진성 치주염환자에서 대립유전자 2 보유자율이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). IL-1 RN intron 2 유전자 다변성은 중등도 및 중증 만성 치주염환자에서 대립유전자 2 보유자율이 유의하게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 IL-1 gene cluster의 유전형이 한국인에서도 치주염의 유형과 질환 심도에 관련될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Phosphorus accumulation in fertilized soils becomes serious problem for agriculture and the environment. In this investigation, we conducted a laboratory scale investigation to find the most desirable displacement methods of the adsorbed phosphate onto the soil particle surfaces. Soil samples which contained high amount of phosphate were collected at two different depths (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm) from four locations at the moderate highland located in Nonsan, Chungnam. To observe the mobilization of solid-phase phosphate, soil samples were equilibrated with oxalic acid solutions ranging from $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-1}cmol\;L^{-1}$ with the dilution factors of 1:1, 1:2.5, 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20. The mineralized P sharply increased as the concentration of oxalic acid was greater than $5{\times}10^{-4}cmol\;L^{-1}$ under dilution factors of 1:1, 1:2.5, and 1:5. The breaking concentration of oxalic acid was lowered to $10^{-4}cmol\;L^{-1}$ and $5{\times}10^{-5}cmol\;L^{-1}$ for dilution factors of 1:10 and 1:20, respectively. The curve fit obtained from the graph can be described by exponential growth when the dilution factors were 1:1, 1:2.5, and 1:5 while the sigmoidal shape for 1:10 and 1:20, showing the mineralization of P were significantly dependent on the dilution factor.

Anticarcinogenicity of 12 kinds of colored rice cultivars was investigated in vitro with Ilpumbyeo as a control. Pigment and hexane fractions were prepared from the rice brans through extraction with 80% ethanol containing 0.5% TFA or n-hexane to use subsequent evaluation of their anticarcinogenic effect by determining inhibitory activity against DNA strand scission and tumor promotion, as well as antimutagenic activity using SOS chromotest system. Antimutagenic activity of the pigment fractions was revealed to decrease in order of LK1B4-12-1-1 > Sanghaehanghyulla > HP833-1-3-1-1 > Chokoto14 > Jagwangdo > Jajin > Kilmheugmi > Tiwan-Tsi-C > Heugjinmi > Linsia-Shoea-Dau > Suweon425 > Suweon415. The activity of the hexane fractions decreased in order of LK1B4-12-1-1 > Sanghaehyanghyulla>Ilpunibyeo > HP833-1-3-1-1 > Chokoto14 > Jagwangdo > Jajin > Linsia-Shoea-Dau >Tiwan-Tsi-C > Heugjinmi > Suweon425, Kilimheugmi > Suweon415. Results showed that inhibitory activity against DNA strand scission in the pigment fractions decreased in order of HP833-1-3-1-1 > Tiwan-Tsi-C > Jajin > Chokoto14 > Suweon425 > Heugjinmi > LK1B4-12-1-1 > Suweon415 > Jagwangdo > Kilimheugmi > Linsia-Shoea-Dau > Sanghaehyanghyulla. On the other hand, the activity of the hexane fractions decreased in order of LK1B4-12-1-1 > Suweon 415 > Kilimheugmi > Chokoto14 > Heugjinmi > Jajin > Suweon425 > Tiwan-Tsi-C > Sanghaehyanghyulla a Linsia-Shoea-Dau > Jagwangdo > HP833-1-3-1-1 > Ilpumbyeo. Experiment using the short-term assay for promotor substance showed that inhibitory activity contained in the pigment fractions against rumor promotor TPA decreased in order of Linsia-Shoea-Dau > Kilimheugmi > HP833-1-3-1-1, Suweon425 > Heugjinmi > Jajin > Chokoto14 > Sanghaehyanghylla > Suweon 415 > LK1B4-12-1-1 > Tiwan-Tsi-C > Jagwangdo.
