P450 CYP2D6 enzyme(=debrisoquine hydroxylase) is known to metabolize many neuroleptics and some genetic polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene were reported to be associated with tardive dyskinesia(TD). We investigeted the association of two genetic polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene, $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$, with TD in Korean schizophrenic subjects. Subjects consisted of 71 Korean schizophrenics and TD was evaluated using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). There were no statistically significant differences in the demographic variables of age, male to female percentage and the current antipsychotic(CPZ equivalent) dose between the group with TD and the group without TD. But the duration of antipsychotic drug exposure was significantly higher in the group without TD(p=0.000, by independent t-test). The mean AIMS score in the group with TD was $11.2{\pm}6.6$(S.D.). Genotypings for the presence of $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$ were done using PCR amplifications and endonuclease digestions. There were no statistically significant genotypic and alleleic associations between TD and $CYP2D6^*4$(by chisquare tests), and between TD and $CYP2D6^*10$(by chi-square tests). These results indicate that the $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$ polymorphisms have no significant roles in the causation of TD.

Perdeuterated hexaflouroacetyIacetonato-ytterbium $[Yb(HFA-D)_3]$ complexes were synthesized by the keto-en01 tautomerism reaction of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ in methanol-$d_4$ in order to reduce the radiationless transition to the ligands. The luminescence properties of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ complex were measured in the following anhydrous deuterated organic solvents ; Acetone-$d_6$, Methanol -$d_4$, THF-$d_6$, PO$(OHC_3)_3$ and DMSO-$d_6$. The intensity, lifetime and quantum efficiency of the luminescence in DMSO-$d_6$ were superior to those in other deuterated solvents. It was suggested that the anhydrous DMSO-$d_6$ might be the most appropriate solvent for the liquid laser material of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ complex.

For $q^5-q^3-q^2-q+1{\leq}d{\leq}q^5-q^3-q^2$, we prove the non-existence of a $[g_q(6,d),6,d]_q$ code and we give a $[g_q(6,d)+1,6,d]_q$ code by constructing appropriate 0-cycle in the projective space, where $g_q (k,d)={{\sum}^{k-1}_{i=0}}{\lceil}\frac{d}{q^i}{\rceil}$. Consequently, we have the minimum length $n_q(6,d)=g_q(6,d)+1\;for\;q^5-q^3-q^2-q+1{\leq}d{\leq}q^5-q^3-q^2\;and\;q{\geq}3$.

Condensation of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (2) with 1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranose (3) in the presence of silver triflate and syn-collidine gave 1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl)-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranose (4) in $86{\%}$ yield. Cleavage of phthalimido group and de-O-acetylation with hydrazine, acetylation, and hydrolysis of isopropylidene and O-acetyl groups furnished 6-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-galactopyranose (1) with overall yield of $65.8{\%}$ starting from 3. Some other derivatives of 1 which have free hydroxyl groups at the specific position have also been prepared from 4. These compounds could be used as precursors for further glycosidation reactions.

dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase as an oxidoreductase catalyzes the conversion of dTDP-D-glucose to dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose, which is essential for the formation of 6-deoxysugars. dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase shows remarkable sterochemical convergence in which displacement of the C-6 hydroxyl group by a C-4 hydrogen proceeds intramolecularly with inversion of configuration. The reaction mechanism is known to be oxidation, dehydration, and reduction by bases mediating proton transfer and $NAD^+$ cofactor. In this study, the bases in the active site domain are proposed to be His-79 and His-300 from a comparison of the peptides of the dehydratase and UDP-D-glucose epimerase. His-79 and His-300 were mutated to prepare the mutants H79L (mutation of histidine to leucine at the 79th amino acid) and H300A (mutation of histidine to alanine at the 300th amino acid) by site-directed mutagenesis. The H79L protein was inactive, showing that His-79 participates in the reaction mechanism.

The genetically determined CYP2D6 activity as considered to be associated with cancer susceptibility with inter-individual variation. Genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) was determined by the two polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and BstN1 and EcoN1 restriction fragment length polymorphisms(RFLP) for 67 lung cancer cases and 95 healthy volunteer controls. The cases were composed of 26 squamous cell carcinoma, 14 small cell carcinoma, 10 adenocarcinoma, 3 large cell undifferentiated carcinoma, and 14 not histologically diagnosed. The results were gained from the 142 subjects (57 cases and 85 controls) who observed successfully in two PCR and BstNl/EcoN1 RELP. Only one and no mutant allele of the CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) gene was detected, that is, the frequency of mutant allele was very low; 0.7%(1/142) and 0%(0/142), respectively. Detected mutant allele of the CYP2D6(B) was beterozygous type(WM). The odds ratios for lung cancer susceptibility with CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotype were not calculated. These results are similar to the previous understanding that the mutant allele is very rare in Orientals compared to Caucasians, therefore, it considered that CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotypes have maybe no association with lung cancer susceptibility in Koreans. This is the basic data of CYP2D6(B) and CYP2D6(T) genotypes for Koreans. It would be hepful for further study to determine lung cancer susceptibility of Koreans with the data about CYP1A1, CYP2E1, GSTM1 from future study.

We evaluated the usefulness of $DTI_{6D}$ which was acquiring six direction diffusion data through compared to $DWI_{3D}$. Mean SNR and CNR were on $DWI_{3D}$ and $DTI_{6D}$ $44.01{\pm}13.36$, $37.15{\pm}11.44$ (p=0.029) and $18.47{\pm}9.66$, $19.88{\pm}9.20$(p=0.017). The number of lesions were $311{\pm}26.87$, $224.5{\pm}26.16$(p=0.041) on $DTI_{6D}$ and $DWI_{3D}$. Twenty patients were the more detected brain infarction lesion on $DTI_{6D}$. But there is no one the more detected on $DWI_{3D}$. And the more three direction diffusion data could get more information. However, we need to consider about the time consumption compared to DWI.

In this paper, the performance of Au / $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BST) / Magnesium oxide (MgO) two-layered electrically tunable band-pass Filters (BPFs) is demonstrated. The devices consist of microstrip, coplanar waveguide (CPW), and conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CBCPW) structures. These BST thin film band-pass filters have been designed by the 2.5 D field simulator, IE3D, Zeland Inc., and fabricated by thin film process. The simulation results, using the 2-pole microstrip, CPW, and CBCPW band-pass filters, show the center frequencies of 5.89 GHz, 5.88 GHz, and 5.69 GHz, and the corresponding insertion losses are 2.67 dB, 1.14 dB, and 1.60 dB, with 3 %, 9 %, and 7 % bandwidth, respectively. The measurement results show the center frequencies of 6.4 GHz, 6.14 GHz, and 6.04 GHz, and their corresponding insertion losses are 6 dB, 4.41 dB, and 5.41 dB, respectively, without any bias voltage. With the bias voltage of 40 V, the center frequencies for the band-pass filters are measured to be 6.61 GHz, 6.31 GHz, and 6.21 GHz, and their insertion losses are observed to be 7.33 dB, 5.83 dB, and 6.83 dB, respectively. From the experiment, the tuning range for the band-pass filters are determined as about 3 % ~ 8 %.

Antioxidant activities and in vitro anticancer effects of bamboo salt doenjang on HT-29 human colon cancer cells were studied. 3Y3B-D (three-year fermentation using three-time baked bamboo salt doenjang), 3Y9B-D (three-year fermentation using nine-time baked bamboo salt doenjang), 6Y3B-D (six-year fermentation using three-time baked bamboo salt doenjang), and 6Y9B-D (six-year fermentation using nine-time baked bamboo salt doenjang) were compared to C-D (commercial doenjang) and 3B-S (cooked soy beans prepared using three-time baked bamboo salt). There were no differences between experimental groups in pH, amino-type nitrogen, or ammonia-type nitrogen levels. 6Y9B-D showed the highest antioxidative effect, followed by 6Y3B-D, 3Y9B-D, and 3Y3B-D, in order. 6Y9B-D showed the highest total polyphenol concentration. 6Y9B-D showed the highest anticancer effect, as determined by MTT assay, as well as levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, iNOS, and COX-2, followed by 6Y3B-D, 3Y9B-D, and 3Y3B-D, in order. From the results above, 6Y9B-D showed the highest antioxidative and anticancer effects, followed by 6Y3B-D, 3Y9B-D, 3Y3B-D, C-D, and 3B-S.

PCR primers were designed based on consensus sequences of dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, one of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of deoxysugar. The PCR product (360 bp) was obtained from Thermus caldophilus GK24. Colony hybridization was carried out to the cosmid library constructed from T. caldophilus GK24 genomic DNA by the PCR product DNA fragment. We isolated a cosmid clone (pSMTC-1) that was subcloned to call pKCB series plasmid (BamHI fragments), partially sequenced and analyzed. pKCB80 (4.2 kb-BamHI DNA fragment) of them showed ORFs that was orfA, orfB, orfC and orfD. The orfABCD gene cluster is the deosysugar biosynthetic gene ; orfA (glucose-1-phosphate thymidylytransferase), orfB (dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase), orfC (dTDP-4-keto-L-rhamnose reductase) and orfD (dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose 3,5-epimerase). The gene cluster that was related in biosynthesis of dTDP-L-rhamnose was also identified by computer analysis, and we proposed that the biosynthetic pathway of deoxysugar analyzed from DNA sequencing of pKCB80 is from D-glucose-1-phosphate, dTDP-D-glucose, dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose via dTDP-4-keto-L-rhamnose to dTDP-L-rhamnose.
