The D165539 locus was investigated to collect population genetic data in the Korean population. The selected subject was unrelated 293 Korean people. DNA was extracted from the samples and PCR was performed with fluorescent primer. The amplified fragment was analysed by automated DNA sequencer and it's application software. Among the Korean population, 7 allele and 18 geneotype were observed and allele No. 9 is mostly frequent(0.2679) and then allele No. 11(0.2679), allele No. 9(0.2645). The observed heterozygosity and the expected heterozygosity is 0.7466, 0.7829 each. The polymorphism information content(PIC) is 0.7466. The power of discrimination(PD) and the mean exclusion chance(MEC) are calculated to be 0.9190 and 0.5775.

Short Tandem Repeats (STR) analysis which characterized by genetic polymorphism has been widely used in the forensic genetic fields. Unfortunately, mutation occurred in various STR loci could make it difficult to interpret STR data. Thus, the mutation rate of STR loci plays an important role for the data interpretation in human identification and paternity test. To verify the mutation of the STR loci in the Korean population, 545 trio sets (father, mother, and child) were analyzed with two commercial STR kits that include the 23 autosomal STR loci (D1S1656, TPOX, D2S441, D2S1338, D3S1358, FGA, D5S818, CSF1PO, D7S820, D8S1179, D10S1248, TH01, D12S391, VWA D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D22S1045, SE33, Penta E and Penta D). As a result, 36 mutations were observed in 14 STR loci. The types of mutation were also classified by the increase or decrease of the alleles. The overall mutation rate was 1.4×10^-3, and the paternal mutation rate was four times higher than that of the maternal. This study will provide more detailed criterion for human identification by the mutation rate of STR loci in the Korean population.

A mutant of Bacillus subtilis with a defective cdd gene encoding deoxycytidine-cytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.5) has been characterized genetically. The genetic lesion, cdd, causing the altered deoxycytidine-cytidine deaminase was mapped at 225 min on the linkage map of B. subtilis by AR9 transduction, Transductional analysis of the cdd region established the gene order in clockwise as trp-lys-cdd-aroD. The cdd gene was linked 72% with the aroD and 20% with the lys.

DNA typing is often used to determine identity from human remains. Recently, the molecular biological analysis of ancient deposits has become possible since methods for the recovery of DNA conserved in bones or teeth from archaeological remains have been developed. In the field of archaeology, one of the most promising approaches is to identify the individuals present in a mass burial site. We performed nuclear DNA typing and mitochondrial DNA sequencing analysis based on PCR from a Korea ancient human remain excavated from Sa-chon Nuk-island and civilian access controlline(CACL). A femur bone were collected and successfully subjected to DNA extraction, quantification, PCR amplification, and subsequently typed for several shot tandem repeat(STR)loci. 4 types of STR systems used in this study were CTT multiplex(CSF1PO, TPOX, TH01), FFv multiplex(F13A01, FESFPS, vWA), Silver STRⅢ multiplex(D16S539, D7S820, D13S317), and amelogenin for sex determination. This studies are primarily concerned with the extraction, amplification, and DNA typing of ancient human bone DNA samples. Also, it is suggestive of importance about closely relationship between both fields of archaeology and molecular biology.

In this study human bones and teeth, excavated from the Myeongam-risite in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do Province, have been analysed by nuclear DNA typing and mitochondrial DNA sequencing methods. Twenty-one samples of long bones and twenty-seven samples of teeth from twenty-one individuals were collected and analysed. Among these thirteenteeth were successfully subjected to nuclear DNA extraction, quantification, and PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification. Silver STR III (D16S539, D7S820, D13S317) multiplex PCR method was used in this study for a short tandem repeat (STR) analysis. Mitochondrial DNAs of tooth samples were also amplified and sequenced by a DNA sequencer. These analyses show that a sample from Burial no. 29 and one from Burial no. 38(right) possessed the same maternal inheritance. This may suggest that the Myeongam-ri cemetery was used by a kin group for a relatively long period of time.

The crystal structure of K92-X (K92Al92Si100O384), a=25.128(1) Å, dehydrated at 360 ℃ and 2X 10-6 Torr, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Fd&bar{3} at 21(1) ℃. The structure was refined to the final error indices R1=0.044 and Rw=0.039 with 242 reflections for which I<3σ(I). In this structure, ninety-two K+ ions are located at the five different crystallographic sites. Sixteen K+ ions are located at the centers of the double six rings (site I; K(1)-O(3)=2.65(2) Å and O(3)-K(1)-O(3)=92.0(6)°). About twelve K+ ions lie at site I' in the sodalite cavity opposite double six rings (D6R's) and these K+ ions are recessed ca. 1.62 Å into the sodalite cavity from their O(3) plane (K(2)-O(3)=2.74(2) Å, O(3)-K(2)-O(3)=88.5(8)°). About thirty-two K+ ions are located at the site II in the supercage and these K+ ions are recessed ca. 1.20 Å into the supercage from their O(2) plane (K(3)-O(2)=2.64(2) Å, and O(2)-K(3)-O(2)=101(1)°). About twenty-two K+ ions lie at the site III in the supercage opposite 4-ring ladder and the remaining ten K+ ions lie at the site III' near the 4-ring ladder in the supercage (K(4)-O(4)=2.88(3) Å, O(4)-K(4)-O(4)=79.8(9)°, K(5)-O(4)=2.8(2) Å, and O(4)-K(5)-O(4)=68(5)°).

Background: The results of the Global School Personnel Survey (GSPS) conducted in India in 2009 are compared with 2006 GSPS to assess any change in 2009 on tobacco use and knowledge and attitudes to tobacco use, training and availability of tobacco control teaching material in schools and the existence of school tobacco control policies. Methods: GSPS is a cross sectional survey conducted twice (2006 and 2009) in entire India. A total of 180 schools were surveyed each time. Results: Of the participating school personnel, 2660 in 2006 and 2575 in 2009, about 95% were teachers and the balance administrators. In 2009, compared to 2006 the prevalence of current smoking of cigarettes (19.6% in 2006 and 10.3% in 2009) and bidis (21.5% in 2006 and 13.9% in 2009) was found to be significantly lower; the percentage of teachers receiving training on preventing youth tobacco use has significantly reduced (16.7% in 2006 and 10.1% in 2009); access of teachers to educational materials on tobacco use and how to prevent its use among youth had not increased (34.6% in 2006 and 37.8% in 2009); there was no change in policy prohibiting tobacco use among students and school personnel; however, ever use of any tobacco on school premises was significantly lower (15.6% in 2006 and 9.6% in 2009). Conclusions: The prevalence of current smoking (cigarettes/bidis) among school personnel and use of any tobacco on school premises were significantly decreased in 2009 as compared to 2006. Necessary action should be planned to increase the number of teachers trained and the availability of teaching materials on preventing youth tobacco use in order to have effective prevention of tobacco use among students.

A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) was applied to estimate biokinetic coefficients of Clostridium cadaveris and Clostridium sporogenes, which utilize protein as carbon source. Experimental data on changes in peptone concentration and 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of C. cadaveris and C. sporogenes were fitted to model. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta approximation with non-linear least squares analysis was employed to solve the ordinary differential equations to estimate biokinetic coefficients. The maximum specific growth rate (μ_max), half-saturation concentration (K_s), growth yield (Y), and decay coefficient (K_d) of C. cadaveris and C.sporogenes were 0.73 ± 0.05 and 1.35 ± 0.32 h^-1, 6.07 ± 1.52 and 5.67 ± 1.53 g/l, 2.25 ± 0.75 × 10¹⁰ and 7.92 ± 3.71 × 10⁹ copies/g, 0.002 ± 0.003 and 0.002 ± 0.001 h^-1, respectively. The theoretical specific growth rate of C. sporogenes always exceeded that of C. cadaveris at peptone concentration higher than 3.62 g/l. When the influent peptone concentration was 5.0 g/l, the concentration of C.cadaveris gradually decreased to the steady value of 2.9 × 10¹⁰ copies/ml at 4 h Hydraulic retention time (HRT), which indicates a 67.1% reduction of the initial population, but the wash out occurred at HRTs of 1.9 and 3.2 h. The 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of C. sporogenes gradually decreased to steady values ranging from 1.1 × 10¹⁰ to 2.9 × 10¹⁰ copies/ml. C. sporogenes species was predicted to wash out at an HRT of 1.6 h.
