Novel citric acid based Ti, Nb and Ta precursors that are highly stable in the presence of water were developed. No alkoxides of Ti, Nb and Ta were utilized in the preparation, instead much less moisture-sensitive metallic Ti, NbCl5 and TaCl5 were chosen as starting chemicals for Ti, Nb and Ta, respectively. The feasibility of these chemicals as precursors is demonstrated in the powder synthesis of BaTi4O9, Y3NbO7 and LiTaO3. The water-resistant Ti precursor was employed as a new source of water-soluble Ti in the amorphous citrate method, and phase pure BaTi4O9 in powdered form was successfully synthesized at 800 ？. The Pechini-type polymerizable complex method using the water-resistant Nb and Ta precursors was applied to the synthesis of Y3NbO7 and LiTaO3, and both the powder materials in their pure form were successfully synthesized at reduced tempera-tures, viz. 500-700 ？. The remarkable retardation of hydrolysis of these water-resistant precursors is explained in terms of the partial charge model theory.

To investigate genes related to vernalization and cold- resistance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Nagaoka), differentially expressed genes were identified from cold-resistant barley leaves with suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and Northern blot analyses. The nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequences of the putative gene products were compared. The bvrn-7 showed high homology(84%) with gene related to vernalization, and the bvrn-3, bvrn-12, bvrn-28, bvrn-29 and bvrn-36 related to cold-resistant genes had high identity of 88~98% with low temperature-induced genes. The results indicate that the 6 genes were closely related to vernalization and cold-resistance during low temperature treatment.

Background: Rifampicin (RFP) is one of the principal first-line drugs used in combination chemotherapies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and its use has greatly shortened the duration of chemotherapy for the successful treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis. Compensatory mutations have been identified in rpoC that restore the fitness of RFP-resistant M. tuberculosis strains with mutations in rpoB. To investigate rpoC mutation patterns, we analyzed 93 clinical M. tuberculosis isolates from patients in South Korea. Methods: Drug-resistant mycobacterial isolates were cultured to determine their susceptibility to anti-tubercular agents. Mutations in rpoC were identified by sequencing and compared with the relevant wild-type DNA sequence. Results: In total, 93 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates were successfully cultured and tested for drug susceptibilities. They included 75 drug-resistant tuberculosis species, of which 66 were RFP-resistant strains. rpoC mutations were found in 24 of the 66 RFP-resistant isolates (36.4%). Fifteen different types of mutations, including single mutations (22/24, 91.7%) and multiple mutations (2/24, 8.3%), were identified, and 12 of these mutations are reported for the first time in this study. The most frequent mutation involved a substitution at codon 452 (nt 1356) resulting in amino acid change F452L. Conclusion: Fifteen different types of mutations were identified and were predominantly single-nucleotide substitutions (91.7%). Mutations were found only in dual isoniazid- and RFP-resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis. No mutations were identified in any of the drug-susceptible strains.

Forty clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens were tested for their susceptibility to 19 antimicrobial drugs and studied on the molecular characteristics of R plasmids. Cefotaxime (Ct) was the most effective drug and only 2 (5%) strains were resistant to this drug. Thirteen to 18% of strains were resistant to cefoperazone (Cz), amikacin (Ak). and trimethoprim (Tp), and 28 to 40% were resistant to piperacillin (Pi), nalidixic acid (Na), gentamicin (Gm), and cefoxitin (Cx). A majority of strains were resistant to carbenicillin (Cb), tobramycin (Tp), kanamycin (Km), and cefamandole (Cd), and all to cephalothin. One half of the isolates were resistant to 10 or more drugs. $MIC_{90}$ of Pi to Gm-resistant strains (Gm') were 8 times higher than that to Gm-susceptible strains (Gm'), but $MIC_{90}$ of Ak, Cx, Ct, and Cz were almost the same between both Gm' and Gm' strains. Nine (23.7%) strains among 38 of multiply drug-resistant S. marcescens transferred conjugally their partial patterns of resistance to E. coli or Klebsiella strains, and two S. marcescens strains producing bacteriocin transferred their resistance to Klebsiella only, but not to E. coli. The plasmid profiles of S. marcescens were studied by the methods of SDS lysis and agarose gel electrophoresis. Twenty-four (60%) strains carried one to four plasmids of 1.4. to 144 Mdal, and conjugative R plasmids of 49 to 127 Mdal were noted in transconjugants. MIC levels of drugs in transconjugants were variable by the R plasmids and recipient strains.

Change in ${\beta}$-tubulin nucleic acid and protein sequences was the only known difference between Haemonchus contortus fenbendazole (FBZ)-resistant and -susceptible isolates. This change was sufficient to determine the pathologic effect induced by FBZ treatment. This research was initiated to investigate further differences from these two isolates. Since ${\beta}$-tubulin is involved in formation of microtubule, which has functions in secretory vesicle transport, DNase activities from excretory/secretory products (ESP) of the two isolates were compared, based on pH, sensitivity to DNase inhibitors, molecular masses and production of 3'-OH. The most significant difference detected was that a 38.5 kDa DNase activity was identified from ESP of H. contortus FBZ-susceptible isolates but not from those of H. contortus FBZ-resistant isolates. However, it was shown that the 38.5 kDa DNase is expressed with similar level of activity in intestine and whole worm of H. contortus FBZ-resistant and -susceptible isolates. This result demonstrated that the secretory transport pathway of the 38.5 kDa DNase was inhibited by unknown mechanisms, which may be related with ${\beta}$-tubulin sequence change in FBZ-resistant isolates. Other DNases of 34, 36 and 37 kDa were detected from ESP of both H. contortus FBZ-resistant and -susceptible isolates. Overall DNase activities found from ESP of these two isolates were not inhibited by 10 mM EDTA at pH 5.0, but largely inhibited by pH 7.0. In addition, DNase activities in two isolates produced DNA fragments with mixtures of 3'- hydroxyls (OH) and 3'-phosphates (P) at each pH although the 3'-end labeling ratios at pH 5.0 and 7.0 were shown different. Identification of inhibition of the 38.5 kDa DNase secretion in FBZ-resistant isolates suggests existence of further differences, in addition to ${\beta}$-tubulin sequence change, in two isolates. This shows complex effect of FBZ on H. contortus biological mechanisms.

Lidocaine 투여에 의한 전신경련의 작용기전을 추구하고자 흰쥐의 전체뇌를 또는 선조체, 해마, 및 중뇌를 부위별로 적출하여 synaptosomes를 마련하고 $20{\mu}M$ veratrine또는 $5{\mu}M\;K^+$ 첨가에 의한 신경 전달물질 (Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, GABA, Norepinephrine)의 유리촉진작용에 미치는 lidocaine, propranolol, norepinephrine 또는 serotonin의 억제효과를 관찰하였고 $[^3H]M$와 $[^3H]-glutamic$ acid의 synaptosomes로의 섭취에 미치는 lidocaine의 영향도 관찰하였다. 아울러 crude synaptic membrane을 이용하여 $[^3H]-GABA$와 $[^3H]-glutamic$ acid의 수용체 결합에 미치는 lidocaine의 작용도 실험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Lidocaine과 propranolol은 veratrine에 의한 aspartate, glutamate, GABA 및 norepinephrine의 유리를 억제하였고, 그중 GABA 유리에 대한 억제작용이 가장 현저하였다. 2. Norepinephrine과 serotonin은 $100{\mu}M$의 농도에서 veratrine에 의한 aspartate, glutamate 및 GABA의 유리촉진 작용을 억제하였다. 3. Lidocaine은 veratrine에 의한 아미노산 유리촉진 효과에 대해서 보다 과 $K^+$ 에 의한 유리촉진 효과를 더욱 약하게 억제하였고 특히 GABA 유리에 대한 억제작용이 가장 약했다. 4. GABA와 glutamic acid의 수용체 결합과 synaptosomes로의 섭취는 1 mM 이하의 lidocaine농도에서 크게 면화가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 신경전도물질의 veratrine에 의한 유리가 과 $K^+$에 의한 유리보다 더욱 생리적이라는 점을 고려한다면, lidocaine 경련은 lidocaine이 흥분성 전도물질인 aspartate나glutamate보다 억제성 전도물질인 GABA의 유리를 더욱 현저하게 억제함으로서 나타남을 시사한다.

콘크리트 구조물은 시간 경과에 따라 화학적인 물질에 노출되거나, 염해, 중성화 등으로 인하여 콘크리트표면 결손 등이 발생하고 이에 따라 수명이 단축되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 황산염 침식의 경우 표면 결손이 급격하게 발생하고 이에 따른 수분의 침투에 의하여 보강 재료로 사용되는 철근의 부식이 발생함에 따라 구조적으로 안정성이 하락하는 특성을 보이고 있다. 본 연구는 시멘트계 보수재의 가장 큰 단점중의 하나인 내산성의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 알루미노실리게이트를 적용한 내산모르타르에 관한 물리적 특성을 시험을 통하여 연구하였으며 시험결과 압축강도 및 휨강도의 경우 동등한 강도를 발현하였으며, 황산용액에 침지하여 중량변화를 관찰한 내산성의 경우 시멘트계 단면복구재가 80% 이상의 중량 변화를 나타내는 반면 시험시료의 경우에는 4% 정도의 중량결손이 발생하여 내산성에 효과적인 특성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 알루미노실리케이트류를 첨가한 내산 모르타르의 특성이 우수한 것으로 나타나 산에 의한 침식 등이 우려되는 곳에 단면복용재료로서 효과적인 특성을 발휘할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

구리 스트레스를 받는 식물에 구리 내성을 부여하며 생장을 촉진할 수 있는 여러 구리 내성 근권세균을 분리하였다. 분리균주 Pseudomonas veronii MS1과 P. migulae MS2는 금속 킬레이트제인 siderophore를 각각 0.13과 0.26 mmol/ml 생성하였으며 또한 20 mg/L Cu 수용액에서 각각 64.6과 77.9%의 구리에 대한 생물흡착능을 나타내었다. 구리는 생물체에서 산화스트레스를 유발할 수 있는 유해한 자유 라디칼 형성을 유도할 수 있다. MS1과 MS2 균주의 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl 라디칼 제거능과 항산화능은 24시간 배양 후 대조군에 비해 각각 82.6과 78.1% 증가하였다. 이들은 식물에서 스트레스 호르몬인 에틸렌의 수준을 낮추는 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase 활성을 각각 7.10과 $6.42{\mu}mol$ ${\alpha}$-ketobutyrate mg/h 나타내었으며 한편 비생물적 스트레스 하의 식물 생장을 도울 수 있는 indole-3-acetic acid와 salicylic acid도 생성하였다. 이 모둔 결과들은 이 구리-내성 근권세균들이 식물에 구리 내성을 부여하며 생장을 촉진할 수 있다는 것을 가리킨다.

The very low density apolipoproteins were separated by a newly developed method of isoelectric focusing in a narrow pH gradient. Four polypeptides were isolated that differed from the major proteins of the high density or low density lipoproteins. Three of these proteins had indistinguishable amino acid compositions, but different isoelectric points, COOH-terminal alanine, no isoleucine, cysteine or cystine. Two of these polypeptides had $NH_2-terminal$ serine. The polymorphism of apolipoprotein-Ala, so designated from the COOH-terminal residue, was related to sialic acid content; one form contained 2 moles of sialic acid per mole of protein, the second, 1 mole of protein, and the third, no sialic acid. The fourth polypeptide had an amino acid composition different from the first three polypeptides and from other polypetides obtained from very low density lipoprotein. This polypeptide had $NH_2-terminal$ threonine, COOH-terminal resistant to carboxypeptidase A, no histidine, cysteine, cystine or sialic acid. These four polypeptides constituted approx. 40% of the total protein in very low density lipoprotein.
