Chromatin structure and dynamics that are influenced by epigenetic marks, such as histone modification and DNA methylation, play a crucial role in modulating gene transcription. To understand the relationship between histone modifications and regulatory elements in breast cancer cells, we compared our chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) histone modification patterns for histone H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9/16ac, and H3K27me3 in MCF-7 cells with publicly available formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE)-chip signals in human chromosomes 8, 11, and 12, identified by a method called FAIRE. Active regulatory elements defined by FAIRE were highly associated with active histone modifications, like H3K4me3 and H3K9/16ac, especially near transcription start sites. The H3K9/16ac-enriched genes that overlapped with FAIRE signals (FAIRE-H3K9/14ac) were moderately correlated with gene expression levels. We also identified functional sequence motifs at H3K4me1-enriched FAIRE sites upstream of putative promoters, suggesting that regulatory elements could be associated with H3K4me1 to be regarded as distal regulatory elements. Our results might provide an insight into epigenetic regulatory mechanisms explaining the association of histone modifications with open chromatin structure in breast cancer cells.

In this paper, a driver system is designed and implemented to achieve 4-level gray scale CH TFEL(Thin Film ElectroLuminescent) flat panel display. To implement the driver system, commercial EL driver IC chips are used to apply high voltage pulses to the EL panel and a high voltage switching circuit is designed for the EL driver IC. A new method of reducing storage delay time of transistor is proposed to obtain a reliable switching circuit. The controller for EL driver and switching circuit is also designed. The designed driving scheme applicable to EL display with 4-level gray scale is based on the linear characteristics of brightness vs. frequency of AC TFEL. By experiment, it has been shown that the brightness of AC TEFL display with the implemented driving system is controlled by the level of gray scale.

In the previous paper (Bull. Korean Chem. Soc., 2011, 32, 2997), the hybrid molecules between ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (ALA) and polyphenols (PPs) connected with neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol linker (linker-1) showed new biological activity such as butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition. In order to increase the binding affinity of the hybrid compounds to cholinesterase (ChE), the neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol (linker 1) was switched to the cationic 2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethanol linker (linker 2). The $IC_{50}$ values of the linker-2 hybrid molecules for BuChE inhibition were lower than those of linker-1 hybrid molecules (except 9-2) and they also had the same great selectivity for BuChE over AChE (> 800 fold) as linker-1 hybrid molecules. ALA-acetyl caffeic acid (10-2, ALA-AcCA) was shown as an effective inhibitor of BuChE ($IC_{50}=0.44{\pm}0.24{\mu}M$). A kinetic study using 7-2 showed that it is the same mixed type inhibition as 7-1. Its inhibition constant (Ki) to BuChE is $4.3{\pm}0.09{\mu}M$.

Activated charcoal supported nickel molybdenum carbide (carburized Ni-Mo/AC) catalysts were prepared by wet-impregnation followed by temperature-programmed carburization using 20% $CH_4/H_2$ gas. The effects of pH and initial Ni/Mo mole ratio during wet-impregnation step on the characteristics of the carburized Ni-Mo/AC catalysts were investigated using ICP, XRD, XPS, BET and $CO_2$-TPD techniques, and correlated with the catalytic activity of the carburized Ni-Mo/AC in methane dry reforming reaction. Comparison of the results of methane dry reforming reaction kinetics with the results of characterization of the carburized Ni-Mo/AC catalyst showed that the catalytic activity in methane dry reforming reaction was higher at higher initial Ni/Mo mole ratio or at lower pH(3~natural value). This phenomenon was related to the crystal size of metallic Ni in the carburized Ni-Mo/AC catalyst.

Objective: The effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase enzyme on fermentation quality, microorganism population, chemical composition and in vitro gas production of sorghum silages were studied. Methods: Commercial inoculant Lactobacillus plantarum Chikuso 1 (CH), local selected strain Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) TH 14 and Acremonium cellulase (AC) were used as additives in sorghum silage preparation. Results: Prior to ensiling Sorghum contained $10^4LAB$ and $10^6cfu/g$ fresh matter coliform bacteria. The chemical compositions of sorghum was 26.6% dry matter (DM), 5.2% crude protein (CP), and 69.7% DM for neutral detergent fiber. At 30 days of fermentation after ensiling, the LAB counts increased to a dominant population; the coliform bacteria and molds decreased to below detectable level. All sorghum silages were good quality with a low pH (<3.5) and high lactic acid content (>66.9 g/kg DM). When silage was inoculated with TH14, the pH value was significantly (p<0.05) lower and the CP content significantly (p<0.05) higher compared to control, CH and AC-treatments. The ratio of in vitro methane production to total gas production and DM in TH 14 and TH 14+AC treatments were significantly (p<0.05) reduced compared with other treatments while in vitro dry matter digestibility and gas production did not differ among treatments. Conclusion: The results confirmed that L. casei TH14 could improve sorghum silage fermentation, inhibit protein degradation and decrease methane production.

In this paper, we perform a direct comparison study of real experimental data for domain rearrangement and the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation on the dynamics of morphological evolution. To validate a mathematical model for physical phenomena, we take initial conditions from experimental images by using an image segmentation technique. The image segmentation algorithm is based on the Mumford-Shah functional and the Allen-Cahn (AC) equation. The segmented phase-field profile is similar to the solution of the CH equation, that is, it has hyperbolic tangent profile across interfacial transition region. We use unconditionally stable schemes to solve the governing equations. As a test problem, we take domain rearrangement of lipid bilayers. Numerical results demonstrate that comparison of the evolutions with experimental data is a good benchmark test for validating a mathematical model.

To control the hydrolysis rate of PET fabric with NaOH, HCl and $CH_3$COOH(HAc), as regulating reagent, were added to the 0.5 M NaOH solution. The concentrations of acids in 0.5 M NaOH were varied. PET fabrics were treated with aqueous solutions of acids in 0.5 M NaOH under different conditions. The weight loss of PET fabric, the rate of hydrolysis, the apparent activation energy (E$_{\alpha}$), the handle value, the etched surface of treated PET fabric, and the effect of salts such as NaCl, $CH_3$COONa(NaAc), and NH$_4$Cl on the weight loss were discussed. Acids in the aqueous 0.5 M NaOH solution decreased the weight loss of PET fabric bacause of neutralization of OH- and the weight loss of PET fabrics treated with corresponding concentration of aqueous NaOH solution to the concentrations of the aqueous solutions of acids in 0.5 M NaOH was lower than that of PET fabrics treated with aqueous solutions of acids in 0.5 M NaOH. The addition of NaCl to aqueous NaOH solution accelerated the reaction of OH- with PET greatly, the addition of NaAc increased the weight loss slightly, but the addition of NH$_4$Cl decreased the weight loss. It was thought that the very remarkable result that NaCl in aqueous NaOH solution promoted the hydrolysis of PET with NaOH would contribute to the conservation of energy and NaOH in the weight loss finishing process of PET fabric. The etched surface and the handle value of treated PET fabric were independent of the difference in the kinds of acids and salts added.nd salts added.

Sulfamethazine(SMZ)은 수의임상에서 감염증 치료 및 예방목적으로 많이 사용되고 있을 뿐 아니라 가축의 생산성 향상을 위해 남용되고 있는 주요한 항균제의 하나이다. SMZ의 생체내 대사 및 약물동태학적 특성은 동물의 종차에 따라 상이함이 잘 알려져 있으나 주요 실험동물 및 경제동물인 토끼에서 조사된 바는 매우 드물다. 한편 성차에 따른 약물대사의 차이는 rat를 비롯한 여러 동물에서 인정되고 있는데 대체로 숫컷이 암컷에 비해 대사능이 활발한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 산양에서의 SMZ의 대사는 오히려 암컷이 더 활발하다는 보고도 있어, 여러 동물종에서 일률적으로 성차에 따른 약물대사를 설명할 수가 없다. 초식성의 습성을 가지고 있는 토끼에 있어 성차에 따른 SMZ의 대사 및 약물동태학적 특성이 다른 초식성 동물인 산양의 경우와 동일한 경향을 보이는지는 매우 흥미 있다할 것이다. New Zealand White 토끼에 SMZ을 이정맥에 35mg/kg를 주사한 후 미리 정해진 시간에 수거된 혈장 및 뇨(24시간)를 HPLC를 이용하여 분석하여 아래와 같은 약물동태학 및 대사적 특성을 얻었다. 1. 토끼에서의 SMZ의 주요 대사경로는 아세틸화$(N_4AcSMZ)$이었다. 두개의 수산화 대사산물(50HSMZ, $6CH_2OHSMZ$)도 생성되어 수산화 경로가 있음을 확인하였으나 양적인 관심에서 주요하지 않았다. 2. 토끼에서의 SMZ의 각 대사산물의 생성은 암수간의 성차에 따른 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 3. SMZ을 토끼의 이정맥에 투여(35mg/kg)하였을 때의 약물동태학적 특성은 1구1차 지수형 배설형태로 설명이 가능하였으며 암수에 따른 성차가 인정되지 않았다. 4. SMZ는 신속하게 $N_4AcSMZ$로 대사되었으며, $N_4AcSMZ$의 체외배설은 SMZ에 비해 매우 느렸으며 성차에 따른 배설속도의 차이를 인정할 수 없었다.
