기존 라우터시스템에서의 패킷 포워딩 엔진은 최적화된 룩업 알고리즘을 통한 소프트웨어 방식으로 구현되었으나, 처리해야 할 데이터가 폭주하면서 전용화된 룩업칩을 이용한 포워딩 엔진으로 대체되어 가고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 룩업칩 기반 패킷 포워딩 엔진은 가격이 비싼 것은 물론. 급변하는 통신 프로토콜에 적응하기 힘든 단점을 가지게 되었으며, 이로 인해서 최근에는 Network Processor 기반의 패킷 포워딩 엔진에 대한 개발이 활발해지고 있다. 본 연구소에서도 초고속광가입자망 사업에 적용되는 포워딩 엔진을 IBM의 2.5G Network Processor 인 NP4GS3 칩을 이용하고 있으며, GbE／POS／E-PON 등의 인터페이스를 지원하고 있다. 또한 본 사업에서는 가입자망에서의 Layer2 broadcasting시의 트래픽 폭주와 가입자간의 보안 기능 등을 지원하기 위해 VLAN 서비스를 적용할 예정이다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 VLAN 기능에 대해서 알아보고, IBM NP4GS3에서 지원되는 VLAN 기능을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 NP4GS3 기반 패킷 포워딩 엔진에서 VLAN 구현 방안에 대하여 기술하였다.

Biomonitoring of nonylphenol (NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, is required in Korea to perform its proper regulation. Thus, we analyzed exposure levels of nonlyphenol (NP) in breast milk from the mothers who delivered babies within 10 days (N=325). We analyzed free and total forms of NP in breast milk with LC/MS/MS (LOD, 0.5 ppb). In addition, we obtained questionnaires concerning lifestyle from the subject. As results, ranges of total NP were ${\mu}g/L$ (median, $3.51{\pm}4.98{\mu}g/L$ vs. normal, N=281, $2.07{\pm}3.76{\mu}g/L$; p<0.05). In conclusion, we suggest that exposure monitoring of NP should be continuously performed, even though the risks of NP are not clear, yet.

Previously, we reported negative effects of low-dose nonylphenol (NP) exposure on the reproductive organs of F1 male mice. In the present study was further investigated the endocrine disrupting effect of NP exposure to F2 generation male mice. Mice were divided into 2 groups; (1) CON, control animals and (2) NP-50 ($50{\mu}g/L$), animals were treated with NP via drinking water. NP exposures were continuously conducted from parental pre-mating period until the postnatal day (PND) 55 of F2 offsprings. Mice were sacrificed on PND 55 and the reproductive tissue weights were measured. The initial (at PND 21) and terminal (PND 55) body weights of the NP-50 group animals were not significantly different from those of control group animals. NP exposure fail to induce a significant weight change of the testes, seminal vesicle and prostate except absolute epididymal weight (p<0.05). However, pathohistological studies revealed that NP-treated F2 animals showed evident decrease in seminiferous tubule diameters, reduced luminal area and number of germ cells. Also, sloughing morphologies in the tubules were notable. In the caudal epididymis, fewer mature sperms and swollen epithelial cells were found in the NP-treated group. The present study demonstrated that the subchronic low-dose NP exposure induced pathohistological abnormalities in testis and epididymis of F2 mice, and we assumed that these 'qualitative' changes in reproductive tissues could be derived from the epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modification, altered DNA accessibility and chromatin structure. Further studies are needed to achieve a better understanding on the multi- or trans-generational effects of NP on the reproductive health and a human application.

본 연구에서는 해산어를 이용하여 bisphenol A(BPA)와 nonylphenol(NP)이 난모세포 성숙 과정에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하기 위해 성숙단계에 있는 노래미(Hexagrammos agrammus) 난모세포(난경 약 1.88 mm)를 대상으로 in vitro에서 BPA와 NP 처리에 의한 난모세포의 성스테로이드 생성농도를 조사하였다. 난모세포에 BPA와 NP를 농도구별(0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1,000 ng/$m{\ell}$)로 첨가하고, 50 IU의 human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG)를 농도구별 BPA 또는 NP와 함께 첨가하거나 하지 않고 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 배양 후 배양액 내의 $17{\alpha},20{\beta}$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one($17{\alpha}20{\beta}OHP$), estradiol-$17{\beta}(E_2)$ 그리고 testosterone(T)의 농도를 방사면역측정법(RIA)을 통해 정량하였다. BPA 처리구에서는 100 ng/$m{\ell}$의 농도구에서 HCG 처리 유무에 상관없이 $E_2$ 생성이 촉진되었다. HCG 처리하에서 0.1 ng/㎖의 농도구에서 T 생성은 촉진 되었으나, HCG를 처리하지 않은 실험구의 모든 농도구에서 T 생성은 저해되었다. NP 처리구에서는 HCG를 처리하지 않은 실험구의 10 ng/$m{\ell}$의 농도구에서 $17{\alpha}20{\beta}OHP$와 T 생성이 촉진되었고, 1 ng/$m{\ell}$의 농도구에서는 $E_2$ 생성이 억제되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 노래미의 성숙단계의 난모세포에서 BPA는 약한 estrogen-agonistic 효과를, NP는 estrogenantagonistic 효과를 지니는 것으로 사료된다.

The p53 which is well known as tumor suppressor gene is located at 17p13. p53 is a sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor that responds to certain cytotoxic stresses, such as DNA damage, by enhancing the transcription of genes that regulate cell-cycle progression as well as programmed cell death. The p63 gene that is located at 3q27-29, is recognized members of the p53 family, and responsible for the transcription of 6 isoforms. Three isoforms ($TAp63{\alpha}$, $TAp63{\beta}$, $TAp63{\gamma}$) contain an N-terminal transactivation (TA) domain and can induce apoptosis. The other 3 isoforms (${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$, ${\Delta}Np63{\beta}$, ${\Delta}Np63{\gamma}$) lack the TA domain and may function in a dominant-negative fashion by inhibiting the transactivation functions of p53 and TAp63 proteins, and thus act as oncoproteins. A number of studies have investigated the role of p63 in human squamous cell carcinomas from different organs. Only a few studies have examined ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform in oral squamous cell carcinoma including normal epithelium. This study aimed to evaluate expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform in human oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue and normal mucosa. The 3 cases of well differenciated oral squamous cell carcinoma specimen including adjacent normal mucosa were examined, and immunohistochemical study with monoclonal antibody(4A4) and tumor cell apoptosis analysis with Transmission Electon Microscopy were studied. And, RT-PCR analysis was done for expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform. The results were as followed. 1. Normal gingiva showed the restricted p63 expression in basal cell layer. 2. Well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma showed mainly p63 expression in overall area of malignancy, especially in basal cell layer to adjacent stromal tissue. 3. Tumor cells around keratinized area with no p63 expression disclosed less micro-organelle in decreased size cytoplasm and severe chromatin margination with nuclear destruction that means apoptosis. 4. Comparison of mRNA expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform by RT-PCR showed variable expression of ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform, but ${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$ was most highly expressed in all 3 tumor specimen. From theses results, it should be suggested that ${\Delta}Np63$ isoform expression in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was closely related to tumor oncogenesis, expecially overexpression of ${\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$ is a most important factor in tumor genesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Nanoparticles are small-scale substances (<100 nm) with unique properties, complex exposure and health risk implications. Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) nanoparticles (NP) have been widely used as abrasives, wear-resistant coatings on propeller shafts of ships, to increase the specific impulse per weight of composite propellants used in solid rocket fuel and as drug delivery systems to increase solubility. However, recent studies have shown that nano-sized aluminum (10 nm in diameter) can generate adverse effects, such as pulmonary response. The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of $Al_2O_3$ NP were investigated using the dye exclusion assay, the comet assay, and the mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase (tk$^{+/-}$) gene mutation assay (MLA). IC$_{20}$ values of $Al_2O_3$ NP in BEAS-2B cells were determined the concentration of 273.44 $\mu$g/mL and 390.63 $\mu$g/mL with and without S-9. However IC$_{20}$ values of $Al_2O_3$ NP were found nontoxic in L5178Y cells both of with and without S-9 fraction. In the comet assay, L5178Y cells and BEAS-2B cells were treated with $Al_2O_3$ NP which significantly increased 2-fold tail moment with and without S-9. Also, the mutant frequencies in the $Al_2O_3$ NP treated L5178Y cells were increased compared to the vehicle controls with S-9. The results of this study indicate that $Al_2O_3$ NP can cause primary DNA damage and cytotoxicity but not mutagenicity in cultured mammalian cells.

Intervertebral disc(IVD) mainly consists of Annulus fibrosus(AF) and Nucleus pulposus(NP), playing a role of distributing a mechanical load on vertebral body. IVD tissue engineering has been developed the methods to achieve anatomic morphology and restoration of biological function. The goal of present study is to identify the possibilities for creating a substitute of IVD the morphology and biological functions are the same as undamaged complete IVD. To fabricate the AF and NP combine biphasic IVD tissue, AF tissue scaffolds have been printed by 3D bio-printing system with natural biomaterials and NP tissues have been prepared by scaffold-free culture system. We evaluated whether the combined structure of 3D printed AF scaffold and scaffold-free NP tissue construct could support the architecture and cell functions as IVD tissue. 3D printed AF scaffolds were printed with 60 degree angle stripe patterned lamella structure(the inner-diameter is 5mm, outer-diameter is 10 mm and height is 3 mm). In the cytotoxicity test, the 3D printed AF scaffold showed good cell compatibility. The results of histological and immunohistochemical staining also showed the newly synthesized collagens and glycosaminoglycans, which are specific makers of AF tissue. And scaffold-free NP tissue actively synthesized glycosaminoglycans and type 2 collagen, which are the major components of NP tissue. When we combined two engineered tissues to realize the IVD, combined biphasic tissues showed a good integration between the two tissues. In conclusion, this study describes the fabrication of Engineered biphasic IVD tissue by using enable techniques of tissue engineering. This fabricated biphasic tissue would be used as a model system for the study of the native IVD tissue. In the future, it may have the potential to replace the damaged IVD in the future.

본 연구는 서울시 상수도 계통에서 내분비계장애물질인 BPA 및 NP의 실태조사를 위해 2002년 9월부터 2003년 12월까지 수행되었다. 상수원 유역의 한강 및 지류천중의 BPA 및 NP의 수준은 다음과 같았다: 팔당댐, $ND{\sim}0.033{\mu}g/L$ 및 $ND{\sim}0.823{\mu}g/L$ ; 경안천, $ND{\sim}0.659{\mu}g/L$ 및 N$D{\sim}3.827{\mu}g/L$ ; 왕숙천, $ND{\sim}0.528{\mu}g/L$ 및 $ND{\sim}12.724{\mu}g/L$. 서울시 6개 취수장 원수중의 BPA 수준은 $ND{\sim}0.260{\mu}g/L$, NP의 농도는 $0.122{\sim}2.724{\mu}g/L$의 범위에 있었다. 그리고 왕숙천 수역을 중심으로 한 3개 정수장의 여과수와 그 수돗물에서 BPA는 모두 불검출된 반면에, NP는 전지점에서 ppt 수준으로 검출되었다. 또한, 먹는물의 정수처리공정에서 NP의 제거율은 정수장별 차이가 없이 80{\sim}95%로 높게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 상수도 계통에서 BPA 및 NP의 농도는 한강유역에 존재하는 점오염원 및 하수처리장 방류량에 의존된다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

Thermococcus pacificus P-4의 유전체 서열 분석을 통하여 예측되는 GH1 ${\beta}$-glucosidase를 암호화하는 유전자를 동정하였다. 그 유전자는 487 아미노산들을 암호화하는 1,464 bp 나타내었으며, 그 아미노산 서열은 Pyrococcus furiosus ${\beta}$-glucosidase와 77% 상동성을 나타내었다. 그 유전자는 Escherichia coli 시스템 내에서 복제 및 발현하였다. 재조합 된 단백질은 금속 친화크로마토그래피를 통하여 정제하고 특성을 분석하였다. 정제된 단백질(Tpa-Glu)은 pH 7.5와 $75^{\circ}C$에서 최적활성을 나타내었으며, 열안정성은 $90^{\circ}C$에서 약 6시간의 반감기를 보였다. Tpa-Glu는 pNP-${\beta}$-glucopyranoside, pNP-${\beta}$-galactopyranoside, pNP-${\beta}$-mannopyranoside, 그리고 pNP-${\beta}$-xylopyranoside 순으로 우수한 $k_{cat}/K_m$ 값을 나타내었다. 또한, Tpa-Glu는 ${\beta}$-1,3-linked polysaccharide (laminarin) 그리고 ${\beta}$-1,3-와 ${\beta}$-1,4-linked oligosaccharides에 대하여 exo-hydrolyzing 활성을 보였다. 본 연구는 초고온 고세균으로터 ${\beta}$-glucosidase가 exohydrolyzing 활성을 처음 확인한 것으로 이 효소는 laminarin의 당화공정에 ${\beta}$-1,3-endoglucanase와 함께 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 allbanggae starch (ABS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), alginic acid (SA)를 이용하여 naproxen (NP) 각인 starch 기반 다층 바이오소재를 제조하고, 물리화학적 특성과 약물 방출 제어 효과를 조사하였다. 또한, FE-SEM과 FT-IR 분석에 의해 제조한 다층 바이오소재의 특성을 조사하였다. 약물 방출 제어 효과와 경피 약물 전달 시스템의 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 NP 각인 다층 바이오소재로부터 NP 방출 특성을 사람의 체온인 36.5 ℃에서 다양한 pH buffer solution과 인공 피부를 이용하여 확인하였다. NP는 낮은 pH보다 높은 pH에서 1.3배 더 빠른 방출을 나타냈고, single-layer 바이오소재에서보다 multi-layer 바이오소재에서 약 4.0배 느린 방출이 일어남을 확인하였다. 인공 피부 방출에서도 동일하게 single-layer 바이오소재보다 multi-layer 바이오소재에서 약 4.0배 더 느린 약물 방출 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, double-layer와 triple-layer 바이오소재 모두 12시간 동안 지속적으로 NP가 방출되었음을 확인 하였다. NP 방출 mechanism을 규명하기 위해 수학적 모델링에 적용하여 비교했을 때, pH buffer solution에서의 방출은 Fickian diffusion mechanism, 인공 피부 방출은 empirical mechanism에 적합한 것을 확인하였다.
