  • 끝동매미충에 대한 국내장여품종, 계통 및 IRRI선발품종의 저항성정도, 그들 품종에 대한 끝동매미충의 산난선호성, 식이선호성, Antibiosis 및 몇개 지역의 끝동 매미충에 대한 벼의 저항성차이 유무를 알기 위해 시험을 실시한바 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 국내장여품종은 모다 감수성(S) 반응을 보였고 IR 667에서 얻어진 품종과 계통은 중간성(M) 반응을 보였다. 2. IRRI 선발품종중 Bir-tsan-3, MTU-15, DK-1, DV-139, H105, ASD-7, MGL-2, PTB-18, Muthumanikam 및 Vellanlangalayan은 저항성 반응을 보였고 IR20과 Mudgo는 중도저항성을 보였으며 IR8, IR22, Pankari-203, Su-Yai-20 및 T(N)1은 감수성 반응을 나타내었다 3. Nephotettix cincticeps와 N. impicticeps간에 현저히 다른 반응을 나타낸 품종은 H105, IR8, Mudgo, Pankari-203 및 Su-Yai-20이었다. 4. 산난선호성은 품종에 따라 현저한 차이가 있었는데 비교적 많은 산난수를 보인 품종은 Suweon 215, Shirogane, Su-Yai-20 및 Milsung 등이었고 비교적 적은 품종은 Palkweng, Kimmaze, Mudgo 및 Akibare 등이었다. 5. 식이선호성도 품종에 따라 현저한 차이가 있었는데 비교적 부착충수가 많은 품종은 Shirogane, $Shin{\#}2$, Paltal 및 Nongbaek등이었고 비교적 적은 부착충수를 보인 품종은 Su-Yai-20, TKM-6, Mudgo 및 Murunga 137 등이었다. 6. 유묘의 저항성과 산난선호성, 식이선호성들 간에 유의한 상관은 없었으나 유묘의 저항성과 식이선호성은 비교적 깊은 관계가 있는 것 같았다. 7. 공시품종에 대한 부화약충의 생존충율에 있어서 PTB-18은 3일만에, Muthumanikam은 7일만에, Vellanlangalayan과 H105는 8일만에, 100의 사충률을 보였으며 그 외에도 저항성품종에서 낮은 생존충률을 보였다. 8. 수원, 이리, 밀양 및 진주 4개 지역의 끝동매미충에 대한 벼의 반응에 차이가 없어 끝동매미충의 생태형은 찾아 볼 수 없었다.

  • Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the first step in fatty acid biosynthesis: the synthesis of malonyl-CoA from acetyl-CoA. As essential regulators of fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism, ACCs are regarded as therapeutic targets for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as obesity, In ACC, the biotinoyl domain performs a critical function by transferring an activated carboxyl group from the biotin carboxylase domain to the carboxyl transferase domain, followed by carboxyl transfer to malonyl-CoA. Despite the intensive research on this enzyme, only the bacterial and yeast ACC structures are currently available, To explore the mechanism of ACC holoenzyme function, we determined the structure of the biotinoyl domain of human ACC2 and analyze its characteristics using NMR spectroscopy. The 3D structure of the hACC2 biotinoyl domain has a similar folding topology to the previously determined domains from E. coli and P. Shermanii, however, the 'thumb' structure is absent in the hACC2 biotinoyl domain. Observations of the NMR signals upon the biotinylation indicate that the biotin group of hACC2 does not affect the structure of the biotinoyl domain, while the biotin group for E. coli ACC interacts directly with the thumb residues that are not present in the hACC2 structure. These results imply that, in the E. coli ACC reaction, the biotin moiety carrying the carboxyl group from BC to CT can pause at the thumb of the BCCP domain. The human biotinoyl domain, however, lacks the thumb structure and does not have additional non-covalent interactions with the biotin moiety; thus, the flexible motion of the biotinylated lysine residue must underlie the "swinging arm" motion. This study provides insight into the mechanism of ACC holoenzyme function and supports the "swinging arm" model in human ACCs.

  • A 17-year-old girl presented with complaints of headache and decreasing vision of one month's duration, without any history of fever, weight loss, or any evidence of an immuno-compromised state. Her neurological examination was normal, except for papilledema. Laboratory investigations were within normal limits, except for a slightly increased Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). Non-contrast computerized tomography of her head revealed complex mass in left frontal lobe with a concentric, slightly hyperdense, thickened wall, and moderate perilesional edema with mass effect. Differential diagnoses considered in this case were pilocytic astrocytoma, metastasis and abscess. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained in 3.0 Tesla (3.0T) scanner revealed a lobulated outline cystic mass in the left frontal lobe with two concentric layers of T2 hypointense wall, with T2 hyperintensity between the concentric ring. Moderate perilesional edema and mass effect were seen. Post gadolinium study showed a markedly enhancing irregular wall with some enhancing nodular solid component. No restricted diffusion was seen in this mass in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) showed increased lactate and lipid peaks in the central part of this mass, although some areas at the wall and perilesional T2 hyperintensity showed an increased choline peak without significant decrease in N-acetylaspartate (NAA) level. Arterial spin labelling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) enhanced perfusion study showed decrease in relative cerebral blood volume at this region. These features in MRI were suggestive of brain abscess. The patient underwent craniotomy with excision of a grayish nodular lesion. Abundant acid fast bacilli (AFB) in acid fast staining, and epithelioid cell granulomas, caseation necrosis and Langhans giant cells in histopathology, were conclusive of tubercular abscess. Tubercular brain abscess is a rare manifestation that simulates malignancy and cause diagnostic dilemma. MRI along with MRS and magnetic resonance perfusion studies, are powerful tools to differentiate lesions in such equivocal cases.
