The objective of this work was to investigate the ability of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Pseudomonas aureofaciens 63-28 to induce plant defense systems, including defense-related enzyme levels and expression of defense-related isoenzymes, and isoflavone production, leading to improved resistance to the phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 in soybean seedlings. Seven-day-old soybean seedlings were inoculated with P. aureofaciens 63-28, R. solani AG-4, or P. aureofaciens 63-28 plus R. solani AG-4 (P+R), or not inoculated (control). After 7 days of incubation, roots treated with R. solani AG-4 had obvious damping-off symptoms, but P+R-treated soybean plants had less disease development, indicating suppression of R. solani AG-4 in soybean seedlings. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities of R. solani AG-4-treated roots increased by 24.6% and 54.0%, respectively, compared with control roots. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activities of R. solani AG-4-treated roots were increased by 75.1% and 23.6%, respectively. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in soybean roots challenged with P. aureofaciens 63-28 and P+R increased by 25.0% and 11.6%, respectively. Mn-SOD (S1 band on gel) and Fe-SOD (S2) were strongly induced in P+R-treated roots, whereas one CAT (C1) and one APX (A3) were strongly induced in R. solani AG-4- treated roots. The total isoflavone concentration in P+Rtreated shoots was 27.2% greater than the control treatment. The isoflavone yield of R. solani AG-4-treated shoots was 60.9% less than the control.

한국산 산딸기속(Rubus)의 체세포 염색체 수를 밝히기 위해 19개 분류군을 조사하였다. 한반도에는 Anoplobatus(2종), Cylactis(1종), Idaeobatus(15종), Malachobatus(1종) 4개 아속의 산딸기속 분류군이 분포하며, 대부분(15종)이 2배체가 우세한 Idaeobatus아속에 속한다. 체세포 염색체 수의 기본수는 x=7이며, 본 연구에서 체세포 염색체수가 처음으로 밝혀진 분류군은 제주도의 특산종인 가시딸기(R. hongnoensis; 2n=14), 울릉도의 특산종인 섬나무딸기(R. takesiemnsis; 2n=14), 거제도에서 분포하는 맥도딸기(R. longisepalus; 2n=14)와 거제딸기(R. longisepalus var. tozawai; 2n=14), 멍석딸기(R. parvifolius; 2n=42), 사슨딸기(R. parvifolius var. taquetii; 2n=28)등 6분류군이다. 복분자(R. coreanus)를 제외한 나머지 12개 분류군의 체세포 염색체 수는 2n=14로 확인하였으며, 모두 일본과 타이완 등의 연구보고와 일치하였다. 또한 이배체로 알려진 멍석딸기는 4, 6배수체가 발견되어 한반도에서 배수화로 종분화가 일어나고 있음을 보여주었다. 또한 겨울딸기(R. buergeri; 2n=56)으로 8배체임을 알았고, 이는 일본에 분포하는 2n=42, 6배체와 비교할 때, 타이완에 분포하는 분류군(2n=56)과 동일한 8배체임을 보여주었다.

We have developed 8 peptide derivatives as potential MC1R antagonists and their inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-MSH induced cell growth in cultured normal human melanocytes (NHM) were investigated. From these experiments, the two most potent peptide derivatives, 5-phenylvaleric acid-(D)His-Arg-Trp-$(Lys)_6NH_2$ (P 6) and 5-phenylvaleric acid-(D)His-Arg-Trp-$(Lys)_9NH_2$ (P 7) were selected for further studies. In ${\alpha}$-MSH depleted NHM cells, we have found that the treatment with 1 ${\mu}M$ of these two peptide derivatives, P 6 and P 7, inhibited the cell proliferation induced by the addition of 1 nM ${\alpha}$- MSH by 70% and 72%, respectively. In NHM cells without previous ${\alpha}$-MSH depletion, 1 ${\mu}M$ treatment in the presence of 10 nM ${\alpha}$-MSH resulted in 70% (P 6) and 80% (P 7) decrease in cell growth and 64% (P 6) and 71% (P 7) reduction in melanin synthesis, respectively. The peptide derivatives P 6 and P 7 were proved to have no apparent cytotoxicity and inhibited the elevation of intracellular cAMP concentration triggered by ${\alpha}$-MSH. In conclusion, our data suggest that the peptide derivatives reported in this study, 5-phenylvaleric acid-(D)His-Arg-Trp-$(Lys)_6NH_2$ (P 6) and 5-phenylvaleric acid-(D)His- Arg-Trp-$(Lys)_9NH_2$ (P 7) strongly antagonize ${\alpha}$-MSH, inhibit cell proliferation and melanin synthesis, and lower the intracellular cAMP concentration, hence have a promising potential as a novel skin lightening agent.

본 연구는 암대극 추출물의 화장품 원료로서의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 항산화, 미백 및 항염 효과와 관련된 다양한 실험을 실시하였다. 암대극 70 % 메탄올 추출물은 MPLC를 사용하여 5개의 분획들로 분리하였다. 1번과 5번 분획에서 항산화(Mn-SOD 생성 억제), 미백(세포 내 멜라닌 생성 억제) 그리고 항염($IL-1{\alpha}$, IL-6, COX-2, Total NO 생성 억제)효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 암대극 추출물은 화장품 원료로서의 개발이 기대된다.

A number of 7-[3-hydroxy-(4-methylthio or 3-methylthiomethyl)pyrrolidinyl]quinoline-3-carboxylic acids were synthesized by condensation of 7-fluoro substituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid with 3-hydroxy-4-methylthiopyrrolidine or 3-hydroxy-4-methylthiomethylpyrrolidine. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of them were tested against twenty species of Gram-positive or Gram-negative microorganisms. It showed remarkable antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive microorganisms. Among those 1-cyclopropyl-5-amino-6,8-difluoro 7-(3-hydroxy-4-methylthiomethylpyrrolidinyl)-1,4-dihyd ro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid(12d) and 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-methoxy-7-(3-hydroxy-4-methylthiometby1pyrrolinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinocarboxylic acid(12g) showed the most potent in vitro antibacterial activity, and 12d showed better antibacterial activity against MRSA compared to ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin.

Since guided weapon is high-cost and one-shot device which is non-reusable, it requires a lot of resources to prove required accuracy as a part of reliability demonstration. Once a test for proving accuracy rate of guided missile fails, it causes an additional cost and delay of schedule. This study introduces an equation for proper sample size and plan for guided-missile accuracy rate test in order to minimize the risk of test failure. Proper sample size for the test is derived by considering the reliability growth. Furthermore, each task for accuracy rate test is defined according to the development step. Therefore, this study can contribute to reduce sample size for accuracy rate test in order to meet the reliability requirement and assure transparency in the test process.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host. Duolac-Gold is a mixture of seven probiotic bacteria containing three species of Bifidobacteria, two species of Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus thermophilus. The aim of this study was to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of Duolac-Gold in an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mouse model. IBD was induced by administering 1.5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 10 days. After induction of DSS-induced colitis, Duolac-Gold was orally administered at three different concentrations. Interestingly, Duolac-Gold treatment accelerated IBD healing, and anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by weight loss, length of the colon, and a microscopic damage score by histology. The expression of inflammatory related cytokines was measured in colon tissues and serum. Of these cytokines, the expression of interleukin-6 decreased remarkably after Duolac-Gold treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that Duolac-Gold treatment is effective in IBD healing by regulating IL-6.

수도균핵병(水稻菌核病)을 일으키는 진균(眞菌)의 형태적 및 배양적 특성을 조사하였다. R. solani와 R. oryzae의 균사복(菌絲福)은 같았으며, $6.0-12.0{\mu}m$, 평균(平均) $9.0{\mu}m$로서 조사한 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 균사복(菌絲福)중에서 가장 넓었다. R. oryzaesativae 의 균사복(菌絲福)은 $6.0-9.0{\mu}m$, 평균(平均) $7.4{\mu}m$였다. R. cereal is의 균사복(菌絲福)은 조사한 Rhizoctonia종(種)들의 균사복(菌絲福)중에서 가장 좁았으며, S. oryzae의 균사복(菌絲福)은 조사한 Sclerotium종(種)들의 균사복(菌絲福)중에서 가장 좁았다. HCL-Giemsa법(法)으로 핵염색(核染色)을 하여 조사한 결과, R. solani 와 R. oryzae 는 한 균사세포내(菌絲細胞內)에 많은 핵(核)을 가지고 있었으며, S. oryzae 는 1개의 핵(核)을, 그리고 다른 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들은 대부분 2개의 핵(核)을 가지고 있었다. R. solani 의 핵수(核數)는 2-17개, 평균(平均) 6.3개로서 가장 많았다. S. hydrophilum과 S. oryzae를 제외한 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 병반에서 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 평균(平均)크기는 1.0-2.0mm였다. S. hydrophilum과 S. oryzae 의 평균균핵(平均菌核)크기는 각각 0.5mm 와 0.24mm였다. R. solani와 R.oryzae의 배양에 의해 형성된 균핵(菌核)들은 병반에서 형성된 균핵(菌核)들 보다 크고, 크기도 더 일정하지 않았다. 그러나 다른 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 배양에 의해 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 크기는 병반에서 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 크기와 거의 같았다. 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 병반에서 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 색깔은 배양에 의해 형성된 균핵(菌核)과 비슷하였으나, 일부 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 병반에서 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 모양은 배양에 의해 형성된 균핵(菌核)의 모양과 다소 차이가 있었다. R. cerealis의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 적온(適溫)은 $23^{\circ}C$였으며, 다른 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 적온(適溫)은 $27-33^{\circ}C$였다. 일부 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 최고온도(最高溫度)는 $41^{\circ}C$ 로서 높은 반면, R. cerealis 의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 최고온도(最高溫度)는 $31^{\circ}C$로서 낮았다. R. cerealis 의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 최저온도(最低溫度)는 $2^{\circ}C$ 였으며, 다른 균핵진균(菌核眞菌)들의 균사생장(菌絲生長) 최저온도(最低溫度)는 $6-10^{\circ}C$였다.

Let ${\mathbb{H}}_3$ be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group equipped with a left-invariant metric. In this paper we calculate the volumes of geodesic balls in ${\mathbb{H}}_3$. Let $B_e(R)$ be the geodesic ball with center e (the identity of ${\mathbb{H}}_3$) and radius R in ${\mathbb{H}}_3$. Then, the volume of $B_e(R)$ is given by $$Vol(B_e(R))={\frac{\pi}{6}}\{-16R+(R^2+6){\sin}\;R+(R^3+10R){\cos}\;R+(R^4+12R^2){\int\nolimits_0^R}\;{\frac{{\sin}\;t}{t}}dt\}$$.
