This study was undertaken to estimate seasonal variation of riboflavin status and investigate the relationship between riboflavin intake and its biochemical status in rural women. Dietary intake was measured by determining both 24hr recall method and conventient method. The riboflavin intake was also estimated by food frequency method. Ribofiavin biochemeical status was assessed by erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient(EGR AC) and urinary riboflavin excretion. All information was repeatly collected in three seasons ; farming season (June), harvest season(October), nonfarming season(February). Mean daily riboflavin intake was below RDA for Koreans in all seasons. Cereal & pulse, vegetable were the primary sources of riboflavin intake and provided above 60% of the total dietary riboflavin intake in all seasons. Riboflavin biochemical status was significantly different among seasons(EGR AC P<0.005, 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion P<0.05), and riboflavin biochemical deficiency was highest in February. The mean values of EGR AC revealed riboflavin deficiency in all seasons. However the mean values of urinary riboflavin excretion were within the normal range except 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion in February. On the basis of EGR AC criteria, 44.7% of subjects were at risk of deficiency in June, 44.7% in October, 81.6% in February. Result of individual riboflavin status assessed by EGR AC or 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion criteria was quite alike. Urinary riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine underestimated riboflavin deficiency. Significant correlations were observed among biochemical indexes. It also appeared that riboflavin intake measured by food frequency method showed significant correlation with biochemical indexes, especially high correlation with EGR AC (P<0.001). The results indicated that the prevalence of riboflavin deficiency seems to be high among rural women in all seasons and the inadequacy of dietary riboflavin intake was reflected in the abnormalcy of riboflavin biochemical status assessed by EGR, AC. Therefore EGR AC seems to be more sensitive measure of impaired riboflavin status compared to urinary excretion.

The insecticidal toxin gene of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is one of the most commonly used in the development of genetically modified (GM) crops. In this research, we analyzed Bt rice showing lepidopteran pest-resistance. The Bt gene is a synthetic Cry1Ac composed of optimal codons for plants, and the Bt protein is targeted to the chloroplast by a transit peptide. Three Cry1Ac rice events (C103-3, C127-1, and C7-1) were analyzed for molecular characterization. C103-3 contains two copies of T-DNA where the left border (LB) region is truncated. Both C7-1 and C127-1 have a single copy of T-DNA, but a part of the vector backbone DNA is inserted into the genome of C127-1; thus, only C7-1 had intact T-DNA. Progenies of C7-1 crossed with the original cultivar, Nakdong, and double-haploid lines from anther culture of lines crossed with the elite cultivar, Dongjin, were analyzed for T-DNA flanking genomic DNA and genotyping. Results showed that an intact T-DNA region without the vector backbone was inserted into the genome and was stably inherited through generations. The C7-1 homozygous event could be used as breeding material to develop GM rice with pest resistance.

As-Te.Si-Ge 유리질 반도체의 직류 펀도도는 실온에서 3x10-7Ω-1cm-1∼1.5x10-8Ω-1cm-1이었고 각 시료의 온도 인화에 따른 전도특성은 상전이 온도(Tg) 이하에서 o=ooexp(-△E/kT)로 표시할 수 있었다. 또한 실온에서 각 시료의 교류 전도도의 주파수 의존도는 거의 같았으며 직류 전도도에 비해 상당치 높게 나타나서 o(w)=oo+Awn으로 표시할 수 있었다. 200KHz 경우에 교류 펀도도는 295。K∼473。K에서 온도에 무관하고 200Hz 경우에는 433。K에서 부터 심하게 증가하였다. 각 시fy는 기억스위칭 현상은 없었고 문지받스위칭 현상만 관찰할 수 있었다. The dc conductivity, ac conductivity and switching effect of As·Te-Si·Ge have beon investigated. The dc conductivity ranged from 3x10-7Ω-1cm-1∼1.5x10-8Ω-1cm-1 at room temperature and was found to be expressed by o=ooexp(-△E/kT) below the phase transition temperature Tg. The ac conductivity was much higher than dc conductivity and this result is consistent to experimental formula o(w)=oo+Awn. In the temperature range of 298。K∼147。K, the ac conductivity was independent of temperature at 200KHs. At lower frequencies the ac conductivity increased strong1y with temperature. Also, it has been found that all samples showed a threshold switching, but not a memory switching.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Asparagus cochinchinensis (AC) and fermented AC (fAC) on microorganisms and efficacies. Methods: AC was fermented for four weeks without using any bacterial strains. Then we investigated fermentation characteristics including potential of hydrogen (pH), total sugar, microbial profiling and antioxidant compound contents such as total polyphenol and total flavonoid. The anti-obesity effects of AC and fAC were evaluated by using Oil Red O staining in 3T3-L1 adipocyte. Also anti-diabetic effects of them were evaluated by using 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake in C2C12 skeletal muscle cell. Results: Both pH and total sugar of fAC were decreased significantly compared to unfermented AC. And the abundance of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased during fermentation, especially Lactobacillus plantarum. Also fermentation of AC increased the content of total polyphenol. On the metabolic aspects, we found that AC and fAC suppressed fat accumulation. Conclusions: After four weeks of fermentation, AC increased concentrations of active compounds, altered microbial composition, and inhibited fat accumulation such as triglyceride. These results indicate that fermentation of AC might be a beneficial therapeutic approach for obesity.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the apical constriction (AC) and apical canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars, using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Materials and Methods: The anatomical features of 313 root canals from 41 maxillary first molars and 57 maxillary second molars of patients with known age and sex were evaluated using micro-CT, with a resolution of 26.7 ㎛. The factors evaluated were the presence or absence of AC, the morphotypes, bucco-lingual dimension, mesio-distal dimension, and the profile (shape) of AC and the apical root canal. The apical root canal dimensions, location of the apical foramen (AF), AC to AF distance, and presence of accessory canals in the apical 5 mm were also assessed. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used for data evaluation. Results: AC was present in all 313 root canals. Patients' age and sex did not significantly impact either AC or the apical canal dimensions. The most common AC morphotype detected was the traditional (single) constriction (52%), followed by the parallel (29%) morphotype. The mean AC dimensions in maxillary first molars were not significantly different from those in maxillary second molars. Sixty percent of AF were located within 0.5 mm from the anatomic apex. Conclusions: The most common morphotype of AC detected was the traditional constriction. Neither patients' age nor sex had a significant impact on the dimensions of the AC or the apical root canal. The majority of AF (60%) were located within 0.5 mm from the anatomic apex.

We have cloned the Bacillus cellulyticus K-12 avicelase (Avi, E.C.3.2.1.4) gene (ace A) In E. coli. This was accompanied by using the vector PT7T3U 19 and Hind W -Hind m libraries of Bacillus cellulyticus K-12 chromosomal inserts created in 5.cofi. The Libraries were screened for the expression of avicelase by monitoring the immunoreaction of the anti-avicelase (immunoscreening). Positive clones (Ac-3, Ac-5, and Ac-7) contained the identical 3.5kb Hind III fragment as determined by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization, and expressed avicelase efficiently and constituvely using its own promoter in the heterologous host. From the immunoblotting analysis, a polypeptide which showed a CMCase activity with an Mr of 54000 was detected.

The methabolism and phamacokinetics of a mixed disulfide S-(N, N-diethyldithiocarbamoyl)-N-acetyl-L-cysteine (AC-DDTC) were studied in rats. Two metabolites of AC-DDTC following iv and po administration were indentified in plasma and liver by HPLC and GC, namely N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) and the methyl ester of DDTC (Me-DDTC). AC-DDTC was very unstable in vivo and could not be detected neither in plasma nor in urine. Pharmacokinetic parameters of DDTC following intravenous administration of AC-DDTC (20 mg/kg) were calculated. DDTC has a low affinity to rat tissue and the body clearance was $9.0{\pm}3.4mkl/mim/kg$. The mean residence time (MRT) was $11.5{\pm}16.3 min$. After oral administration of 20 mg/kg AC-DDTC, maximal plasma concenttion ($C_{max}$) was $3.8{\pm}0.2 nmol/ml$ and the bioavailability was 7.04%. $C_{max}$ for DDTC at a dose of 120 mg/kg. AC-DDTC was $40.1{\pm}2.2 nmol/ml$. ART was $47.1{\pm}2.8min$.at a dose of 20 mg/kg and $110.5{\pm}6.0 min$ at 120 mg/kg.

현재 AC-PDP(Plasma Disphay Panel) 의 기술은 급속히 발전하고 있는 추세이지만 아직도 몇가지 문제로 인해 이를 해결하기 위한 다각적인 접근이 이루어지고 있다. 동화상 윤곽의 제거 광(光) 대비 향상을 통한 화질의 개선 신뢰도 및 전력 효율을 개선하는 등의 문제가 여기에 해당되며 그 중에서도 특히 전력 효율의 관점에서 40 인치 이상의 대형화면을 지향한는 PDP 기술에서 가장 큰 약점으로 분류되고 있는 수백 와트(watt)에 이르는 전려 소모를 CRT 수준이 200[W] 미만으로 낮추어 것이 시급한 당면 과제이다. 전려 효율을 향상시키기 위해서 PDP의 발광효율을 높이는 것과 함께 기체 장번과는 직접적인 관련이 없이 구동과정시 발생하게 되는 불필요한 전력소모를 최소화 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 전력 소모를 최소화하기 위한 새로운 형태의 고효율 에너지 회수 회로를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 동작을 확인하였다. 또 이는 회로를 설제 7.5인치 패널에 인가하고, 200［kHz］에서 실험하여 제안한 고효율 에너지 회수회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.
