Human genomic Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) was extracted from teeth by boiling, salting-out, phenol, boiling-phenol methods. The author compared DNA concentration and its purity, the accuracy of sex determination and the results of the D1S80 locus detection among above 4 methods. The following results were obtained : 1. DNA concentration was the highest in pulp with salting-out method and DNA purity was higher in pulp with salting-out and phenol methods than other 2 methods. 2. Sex determination was possible using of the pulp and the dentin of the teeth with four methods but, it was impossible in the enamel and some pulp with boiling method. 3. Amplification of D1S80 locus occurred from pulp and dentin with salting-out, phenol, and boiling-phenol methods. 4. There are no differences among the amplification of X-Y homologus amelogenin gene by application of 4 methods and salting-out, phenol methods efficiently makes available to amplification of D1S80 locus. From the investigation DNA extraction, sex determination, amplification of D1S80 locus was successfully accomplished with salting-out, phenol, boiling-phenol methods Therefore above 3 methods are available and applicable as forensic odontology for individual identification.

The human genomic deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) was extracted from the pulp, dentin of 22 teeth by clelex, phenol methods. Samples of the tooth-derived DNA were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), electrophosed for sex determination by detection of X-Y homologus amelogenin gene and D1S80 locus detection The following results have been achieved. 1. Chelex and phenol method are effective to sex determination in the pulp and dentin 2. Chelex method is not suitable for detection of D1S80 locus. 3. Concentration and purity of DNA for teeth using chelex method is lower than using phenol method. From the above investigation, chelex method is simple, rapid for sex determination, but it is not suitable for detection of VNTRs.

Cigarette butts from 5 smokers were gathered and then, placed in room temperature for 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 days. The possible use of the cigarette butts for individual identification was evaluated in sex determination, amplification of D1S80 locus, polymorphisms of HLA-DQA1 gene from the extracted DNA. 1. DNA extraction was possible in cigarette butts weree left in room temperature for 15days, so it can be applicatable to individual identification by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). 2. Amplification of X-Y homologous amelogenin gene by PCR made it possible to identify the sex in saliva stains (cigarette butts). 3. Amplification of D1S80 locus can be acquired from adding the boving serum albumin and hot start PCR procedures from forensic samples such as saliva stains (cigarette butts), so the AMP-FLPs examining is possible. 4. Genotype could be determined simply and rapidly using Amplitype$TM$ HLA-DQ$\alpha$ forensic kit in examining the HLA-DQA1 gene. From the investigation, DNA extraction, sex determination, amplification of D1S80 locus, polymorphisms of HLA-DQA1 gene was successfully done even though the cigarette butts were left for 15 days at room temperature. Therefore cigarette butts are highly reliable and applicatable as molecular biologic samples for individual identification.

The deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) was isolated from the pulp, dentin and enamel of the 4 fresh teeth and the 7 teeth left in room temperature for 10 years. Then it was examed to find out the usefulness for forensic dental medicine. Samples of the tooth-derived DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), electrophosed for sex determination by detection of X-Y homologous amelogenin gene and D1S80 locus detection. The following results have been achieved. DNA extraction was possible in pulp and dentin of the fresh teeth, so it could be applicatable to detection of X-Y homologous amelogenin gene for sex determination, amplification of D1S80 locus by PCR. Sex determination was possible in pulp and dentin of the teeth left at room temperature for 10 years. Also, possible the detection fo AMP-FLPs to increase PCR cycling up to 40. DNA was isolated from all pulp of the fresh teeth and the teeth left in room temperature for 10 years, and also isolated from the dentin of the fresh teeth, partially isolated(3/7) from the dentin of the teeth left in room temperature for 10 years, but DNA was not isolated from enamel. From the above investigation, DNA extraction, sex determination, amplification of D1S80 locus were successfully accomplished even though the teeth were left for 10 years at room temperature. Therefore, teeth, especially pulp, are highly reliable and applicable as molecular biological samples for individual identification.

The highly polymorphic variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci in the human genome are informative markers for the genetic characterization of individuals in the paternity test and forensic science as well as for the study of human disease. In this study, VNTR loci D1S80 and D2S123 have been amplified by PCR and the amplified length polymorphic alleles were detected with a discontinuous vertical PAGE system and silver staining. For explicit DNA typing, PCR optimization, in which amplification efficiencies are similar over a wide range of allele sizes, non-specific amplifications are minimal, and new longer alleles have high amplification efficiency, has been performed by changing the PCR reaction buffer composition and thermal cycling conditions. It turned out that adding an appropriate amount of Tween 20 and NP40 to the PCR reaction buffer and raising the annealing temperature to $68^{\circ}C$ in thermal cycling made it possible for optimal VNTR loci amplification. A modified PAGE system for VNTR separation was established. Under these conditions, new longer alleles in the 01580 locus were discovered and 025123 pattern changes in colorectal tumors were observed. These technical tips are valuable for detecting various amplified fragment length polymorphisms.

본 연구는 사상의학의 객관화 및 그 임상활동에 관한 유용한 자료를 제공함을 목적으로, 사상체질진단법에 의해서 분류된 태음인, 소양인, 소음인 그룹에 대하여 현재 유전적 분석 연구에 많이 사용되는 Amp-FLP법을 이용하여 VNTR인 MCT118(D1S80)과 STR중 3종의 locus (THO1, vWA, CSF1PO)를 대상으로 alleledistribution을 조사 작성하였다. 그리고 이러한 결과들은 Chi-square test를 통하여 통계학적인 유의성이 검토되었다. MCT118과 THO1은 각 체질별 집단의 특이성을 대변할 만한 유의적인 요소가 없는 것으로 나타났으나, vWA의 경우는 각 체질집단 중 소양인(0.002056)과 소음인($2.41{\times}10^{-10}$) 집단이 유의수준인 0.05보다 현저히 낮은 p-value를 나타내었다. 또한, CSFIPO에서도 소음인 집단이 $4.65{\times}10^{-17}$의 매우 낮은 p-value를 나타내었다. 따라서, 유의성 있는 차이를 보여준 vWA와 CSF1PO의 경우, 충분한 크기의 표본을 가지고 유전자 분석을 실시하여 위와 통일한 결과를 얻는다면 체질간 유전적 차이를 보여주는 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

연구배경 : 제21번 염색체가 3개(trisomy)인 다운 증후군(Down syndrome) 에서는 폐암을 포함한 고형종양의 빈도가 일반인에 비해 유의하게 낮다. 이와 같이 디운증후군에서 폐암 위험도가 낮은 것은 여분의 21번 염색체가 존재함에 따른 유전자-용량 효과(gene-dosage effect) 때문일 가능성이 있으며 이는 폐암의 발생과정에 관여하는 종양억제유전자가 21번 염색체에 있음을 의미한다. 저자들은 21번 염색체의 종양억제 유전자 발굴을 위한 선행연구로 21번 염색체 장암의 LOH 빈도와 LOH 유 무에 따른 임상상을 비교하였다. 방 법 : 근치적 절제술을 받은 비소세포폐암 39예를 대상으로 하였다. 동결된 폐암조직과 환자의 림프구에서 DNA를 추출한 후 21q의 5개의 현미부수체 표지자를 이용하여 PCR을 시행하고 6% polyacrylamide-8M urea gel에서 전기영동 한 후 silver 염색을 하였다. LOH는 암조직의 대립유전자 signal이 림프구의 50%이하로 감소된 경우로 판정하였으며 종양의 fractional allelic loss(FAL)는 informative 표지자 수에 대한 LOH가 발견된 표지자 수의 비로 계산하였다. 결 과 : 대상환자 39예 가운데 21예(53.8%)에서 한 개 이상의 표시자에서 LOH가 관찰되었다. LOH는 편평상피세포암의 경우 23예 가운데 15예(65.2%)에서, 선암의 경우는 16예 가운데 6예(37.5%)에서 관찰되어 편평상피세포암에서 LOH의 빈도가 높은 경향이 있었다. 편평상피세포암에서 LOH 빈도는 I 기 53.8%와 II-III기 80.0%로 진행된 병기에서 높은 경향이 있었으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 종양에서 대립 유전자 소실의 축적 정도를 반영하는 지표인 FAL치는 편평상피세포암의 경우 0.431(${\pm}0.375$)로 선암의 0.192(${\pm}0.276$)에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 편평상피세포암에서 FAL치는 I 기 0.391(${\pm}0.427$)인데 비해 II-III기는 0.484(${\pm}0.310$)로 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 진행된 병기에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 결 론 : 비소세포폐암에서 21q의 LOH가 흔히 관찰되었으며 이러한 결과는 비소세포폐암의 발암과정에 관여하는 종양억제유전자가 21q에 존재할 가능성을 강력히 시사한다. 21q에 존재하는 LOH의 역할을 규명하기 위해서는 향후 보다 많은 예를 대상으로 한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
