단순포진 바이러스 감염을 유발하는Herpes simplex2형 바이러스의 감염에 관여하는 항원들과 중화항체 생산을 유발하는 주요 항원들의 위치를 확인하였다. Vero cell에 감염하였을 때 48시간 동안 31, 43, 59, 69 kDa 바이러스 항원들이 지속적으로 발현되었으며, 감염된 쥐에서 생산한 항체와의 반응에서는 51 kDa 항원이 가장 강한 반응을 보였다. 면역전자현미경으로 위치를 확인한 결과 colloidal gold가 바이러스 표면에 발견되는 것으로 보아 이 항원이 바이러스 표면에 존재하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 형광현미경 분석은 이 항원들이 감염된 세포 내에서 전반적으로 발견되었고 특히 세포 표면에서 많이 발현되고 있었다.

Diagnostic specificity of 36 and 91 kDa proteins of Spirometra erlnacei plerocercold (sparganuml was evaluated by micro-ELISA In tissue Invading nematodiasls such as 25 gnathostomiasis, 33 angiostrongyllasls, 22 trichlnellosis patients, and 20 normal control. All but one patient each in 3 nematodlases showed the antibody levels of negative range. The positively reacted patients were regarded as concomitant Infections of sparganum because Immunized or hypennfected rabbit sennn of the nematodes did not react crossly to the antigen.

Thermostable protease is very effective to improve the industrial processes in many fields. Two thermostable extracellular proteases from the culture supernatant of the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum were purified to homogeneity by tractional ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, and Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography. By SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of the two purified enzymes was estimated to be 33 kDa and 63 kDa, respectively. The two proteases were found to be inhibited by PMSF, but not by iodoacetamide and EDTA. The 33 kDa protease (PRO33) exhibited maximal activity at pH 10.0 and the 63kDa protease (PRO63) at pH5.0. The optimum temperature for the two proteases was $65^{\circ}C$. The PRO33 had a $K_m$ value of 6.6mM and a $V_{max}$ value of $10.31{\mu}mol/l/min$, and PRO63 l7.6mM and $9.08{\mu}mol/l/min$, with casein as substrate. They were thermostable at $60^{\circ}C$. The protease activity of PRO33 and PRO63 remained at 67.2% and 17.31%, respectively, after incubation at $70^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The thermal stability of the two enzymes was significantly enhanced by $Ca^{2+}$. The residual activity of PRO33 and PRO63 at $70^{\circ}C$ after 60min was approximately 88.59% and 39.2%, respectively, when kept in the buffer containing $Ca^{2+}$. These properties make them applicable for many biotechnological purposes.

The alkaline protease in the polyhedra preparation of Spodoptera litura nuclear polyhedrosis virus was successfully inactivated by heating at 100C for 20 minutes. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that heat inactivated polyhedra is composed of major proteins of 31kDa and presumptive its polymer protein of 62kDa. However, this polyhedra was converted into several smaller molecular weight proteins when treated with midgut juice, but not by treatment with heat-inactivated midgut juice.

폐흡충증의 진단은 객담검사법이 가장 확실한 진단 방법이기는 하지만 폐흡충이 폐에 기 생한 경우에도 충란 검출이 어려울 때가 있으므로 혈청학적 진단법이 이용되고 있다. 혈청학적 진단법에 사용되는 항원인 기생충 추출물, 즉 조항원은 분류학적으로 유사한 기생충과 서로 공유하고 있는 공통 항원 때문에 교차 반응을 일으키는 경우가 있다. 이 연구는 발육단계 별 폐흡충에서 만든 조항원을 SDS-PAGE(sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)로 전기영동한 다음 EITB(enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot)를 이용하여 항원대별 항원성 및 특이성을 관찰하여 시기별로 채취한 고양이 혈청에 대한 특이 반응대를 관찰해 보고자 시행하였다. 실험에 사용한 항원은 실험적으로 고양이에 감염시켜 3, 5, 8및 12주 만에 얻은 폐흡충의 식염수 추출액 (SEPn; n=감염된 시기)이며 3∼20% linear gradient gel에서 SDS-PAGE하였다. Silver stain결과 폐흡충 조항원은 최소한 30개 이상의 band들로 구성되어 있었는데 각 발육단계 에 공통된 항원대로 203, 63, 35, 21, 19, 13 kDa band들이 관찰되었고, 단계별로 차이점도 관찰 되었다. SEPl2에서는 새로운 229 kDa band가 관찰되었다. 주요 항원대에 대하여 EITB를 한 결과 각 항원과 감염 후 5주 이상 된 혈청과 공통적으로 반응한 항원대는 203, 115, 91, 85, 67, 63, 48, 39, 35 및 25 kDa band들이었고, 8주 이상 된 혈청과의 반응에서는 19, 13및 10 kDa 항원대와 공통적으로 일관성 있게 반응하였다. SEP12는 12주 된 혈청과 229 kDa에서 특이하게 반응하였다.

Objective: Few data were available on glycemic control at the early prediabetic stage, though it is the important stage to prevent diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this research was to examine the glycemic control effects of herb medicine treatment (DA-9802) in prediabetic stage patients Methods: In this randomized, single blind, placebo-controlled study, we compared Sanyak extract (DA-9802) with placebo for the treatment of glycemic control effects in prediabetic stage patients. 45 volunteers who satisfied the requirements were enrolled in the study. They took Sanyak extract (DA-9802) or placebo treatment three times a day for 8 weeks. Blood sugar, Total Symptom Score (TSS) and blood serum were measured at weeks 0, 4, and 8. Results: In the DA-9802 group, fasting blood sugar changes between before 8 weeks significantly decreased. Fasting blood sugar, fasting blood sugar gaps between before and after treatment for 8 weeks, insulin changes and C-peptide significantly decreased at 8 weeks compared with those of the placebo group. Conclusion: Herb medicine treatment (DA-9802) is effective in glycemic control on prediabetic stage.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of arbitrarily located defect around the circular hole in the aircraft structural material such as Al/GFRP laminates and monolithic Al alloy sheet under cyclic bending moment. The fatigue behavior of these materials may be different due to the defect location. Material flaws in the from of pre-existing defects can severely affect the fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of relative location of defects around the circular hole in monolithic Al alloy and Al/GFRP laminates under cyclic bending moment. The fatigue behavior i.e., the stress concentration factor($K_t$), the crack initiation life($N_i$), the relationship between crack length(a) and cycles(N), the relationship between crack growth rate(da/dN) and stress intensity factor range(${\Dalta}K$) near a circular hole are considered. Especially, the defects location at ${\theta}_1=0^{\circ}\;and\;{\theta}_2=30^{\circ}$ was strongly effective in stress concentration factor($K_t$) and crack initiation life($N_i$). The test results indicated the features of different fatigue crack propagation behavior and the different growing delamination shape according to each location of defect around the circular hole in Al/GFRP laminates.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core proteins from two different isolates (HCV-1 and HCV-RH) were expressed in Spotioptera Jrugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. The RH core consisted of two major species of proteins (21 kDa and 19 kDa). On the other hand, the HCV-1 core was approximately 16 kDa in a SDS-PAGE gel. Both core proteins were phosphorylated in vivo on serine residues. Furthermore, the RH core but not HCV-1 core formed dimers, indicating that the protein conformation of the core in these two isolates is dfferent from one another. Immunofluorescence studies showed that the RH core was present in the cytoplasm, whereas the HCV-1 core was localized predominantly to the nucleus in recombinant baculovirus-infected insect cells. Since the major difference between the two isolates is the codon 9 of the core protein, a single amino acid substitution appears to play a major role in the protein conformation and these properties may reflect the different biological functions of core proteins in HCV-infected cells.

Objective: Functional dyspepsia is a prevalent disease. It impedes subjective quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine the equivalent effect of herb medicine treatment (DA-9701) for functional dyspepsia. Methods: In this randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled study, we compared a herb medicine (DA-9701) with standard treatment (mosapride) and placebo for the treatment of functional dyspepsia. 42 volunteers who satisfied the requirements were enrolled in study. Severity of dyspepsia was measured by Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) and Functional Dyspepsia Quality of Life (FD-QOL) before and after treatments. Results: 1. In the DA-9701 group, total key symptoms score was significantly lower and improve rate of key symptoms was higher than in the mosapride and placebo groups, but there were no statistically significant differences between three groups. 2. In the DA-9701 and mosapride groups, "nausea" and "bad breath" were significantly lower compared with the placebo group. 3. In the DA-9701 group, NDI Quality of Life scores were significantly higher, but there were no [other] statistically significant differences between the three groups. 4. In the DA-9701 and mosapride groups, FD-QOL scores were higher compared with the placebo group, but there were no statistically significant differences between the three groups. Conclusion: Herb medicine treatment (DA-9701) is effective to improve the symptoms and quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia.
