고 중량의 궤도열차를 1G 포스이상 가속하기 위해서는 많은 추진력이 필요하다. 선형동기전동기(LSM)는 이러한 고 추력이 필요한 시스템에 적합하다. LSM의 추진 효율을 높이기 위해서 추진제어시스템은 정밀한 위상제어를 위한 실시간의 정확한 차량위치정보가 필요하다. 그러나 추진제어시스템은 전자석 길이구간마다 트랙에 설치되어져 있는 홀센서로부터 상대적으로 긴 시간간격을 갖는 불연속 위치정보를 수신하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 d-q 방정식을 이용한 기본 전동기 모델을 구성하였다. LSM에 의해 추진되는 궤도열차의 모터모델은 코깅력과 마찰손실을 반영한 동적모델이다. 그리고 궤도열차용 LSM제어를 위해 차량위치 추정기를 기반으로 하는 추진제어 시스템을 제안하였다. 해당 궤도열차의 모터모델을 기반으로 위치관측기를 포함한 토크제어시스템의 특성을 확인하기 위해서 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 본 제어시스템이 선형화된 시뮬레이션 모델 분석으로부터 제어기의 대역폭과 위상여유가 충분하다는 것을 보여주고 있으며, 제시한 위치 추정기 기반의 추력제어 알고리즘이 궤도열차의 추력을 제어하는데 효과적임을 확인시켜주었다. 따라서 위치 관측기의 가용성도 확인 할 수 있었다.

Leptin, the hormone product of the obese gene, is secreted predominately from white adipose tissue and regulates feed intake, energy metabolism and body composition. It has been considered a candidate gene for performance, carcass and meat quality traits in beef cattle. The objective of this study was to identify SNPs in the promoter region of the leptin gene and to evaluate the possible association of the SNP genotypes with carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. We identified a total of 25 SNPs in the promoter region (1,208-3,049 bp upstream from the transcription start site) of the leptin gene, eleven (g.1508C>G, g.1540G>A, g.1545G>A, g.1551C>T, g.1746T>G, g.1798ins(G), g.1932del(T), g.1933del(T), g.1934del(T), g.1993C>T and g.2033C>T) of which have not been reported previously. Their sequences were deposited in GenBank database with accession number DQ202319. Genotyping of the SNPs located at positions g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A within the promoter region was performed by direct sequencing and PCR-SSCP method to investigate the effects of SNP genotypes on carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. The SNP and SSCP genotypes from the two mutations of the leptin promoter were shown to be associated with the BF trait. The average BF value of animals with heterozygous SNP genotype was significantly greater than that of animals with the homozygous SNP genotypes for the g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A SNPs (p<0.05). Analysis of the combined genotype effect in both SNPs showed that animals with the AC SSCP genotype had higher BF value than animals with BB or AA SSCP genotypes (p<0.05). These results suggest that SNP of the leptin promoter region may be useful markers for selection of economic traits in Korean cattle.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by diverse clinical manifestations and autoantibody production, which is known to be strongly influenced by genetic factors. Previous studies have revealed the associations of SLE with HLA class II alleles and antiphospholipid antibody system (anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) and anti-${\beta}_2$ glycoprotein I antibody (anti-${\beta}_2$ GPI)). Therefore, we studied the associations of HLA class II alleles with SLE and antiphospholipid antibody system. Methods: The genotyping for HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 alleles were performed in 61 SLE patients and 100 controls by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-sequence specific oligonucleotide probe method. ELISA tests for aCL and anti-${\beta}_2$ GPI were performed in 39 of the 61 SLE patients. The results were evaluated statistically by Chi-square test. Results: The frequencies of the HLA-$DRB1^*15$ and $DQB1^*06$ in SLE patients were significantly higher than those in controls. HLA-$DRB1^*12$ was significantly lower in SLE patients than controls. Nine of 39 patients were positive for aCL (IgG) and three were positive for aCL (IgM). One of 39 patients were positive for anti-${\beta}_2$ GPI (IgG) and none of them positive for anti-${\beta}_2$ GPI (IgM). Association of aCL with HLA class II alleles was not observed in our study. Conclusion: According to our results, it was found that HLA-$DRB1^*15$ and $DQB1^*06$ were associated with genetic susceptiblility and $DRB1^*12$ was associated with resistance to SLE in Korean population. No Association of aCL with HLA class II alleles was observed and the positive rate for anti-${\beta}_2$ GPI was very low.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is an important gastrointestinal pathogen related to the development of not only atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer, but also gastric cancer. Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) may play particular roles in host immune responses to bacterial antigens. This study aimed to investigate the association between HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 genotypes and haplotypes vs H. pylori infection in an Indonesian population. Methods: We selected 294 healthy participants in Mataram, Lombok Island, Indonesia. H. pylori infection was determined by urea breath test (UBT). We analyzed HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 genotypes by PCR-RFLP and constructed haplotypes of HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 genes. Multiple comparisons were conducted according to the Bonferroni method. Results: The H. pylori infection rate was 11.2% in this Indonesian population. The DQB1*0401 genotype was noted to be associated with a high risk of H. pylori infection, compared with the DQB1*0301 genotype. None of the HLA-DQA1 or DQB1 haplotypes were related to the risk of H. pylori infection. Conclusions: The study suggests that HLADQB1 genes play important roles in H. pylori infection, but there was no statistically significant association between HLA-DQA1 or DQB1 haplotypes and H.pylori infection in our Lombok Indonesian population.

Objective: The current research was aimed to profile the transcriptomic picture of the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) associated with immunity in Chinese Holsteins supplemented orally with coated folic acid during the periparturient period. Methods: The total of 123 perinatal cows were selected for this study and divided into three groups; group A (n = 41, 240 mg/500 kg cow/d), group B (n = 40, 120 mg/500 kg cow/d) and group C (n = 42, 0 mg/cow/d) based on the quantity of folic acid fed. Three samples of PBLs were selected from each folic acid treated group (high, low, and control) and RNA sequencing method was carried out for transcriptomic analysis. Results: The analysis revealed that a higher number of genes and pathways were regulated in response to high and low folic acid supplementation compared to the controls. We reported the novel pathways tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling, antigen processing and presentation, Staphylococcus aureus infection and nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B signaling pathways) and the key genes (e.g. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10, TNF receptor superfamily member 1A, cluster difference 4, major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ beta, NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha, and TNF superfamily 13) having great importance in immunity and anti-inflammation in the periparturient cows in response to coated folic acid treatment. Conclusion: Collectively, our study profiled first-time transcriptomic analysis of bovine lymphocytes and compared the involved cytokines, genes, and pathways between high vs control and low vs control. Our data suggest that the low folic acid supplementation (120 mg/500 kg) could be a good choice to boost appropriate immunity and anti-inflammation as well as might being applied to the health improvement of perinatal dairy cows.

다금바리, 자바리 및 능성어는 농어목(Perciformes Order) 바리과(Serranidae Family)에 속하며, 고급횟감으로 인기가 높은 어종이다. 자바리 및 능성어의 경우 몸통부분에 줄무늬가 선명하게 있으나 성어가 되면서 점차 불분명해지는 특징이 있어 무늬의 유무로 인하여 다금바리와 구별하기는 쉽지 않다. 또한 자바리는 제주도에서 다금바리라는 명칭으로 불리고 있으며, 일부 유통업자들이 자바리 및 능성어를 다금바리로 유통시키는 사례가 있어 종 특이 프라이머를 이용한 판별법을 마련하게 되었다. 종 특이 프라이머를 설계하기 위하여 유전자은행(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)에 등록되어있는 다금바리(Accession No. AY947575), 자바리(Accession No. JN603832), 능성어(Accession No. AY947559), 우럭(Accession No. DQ678295) 등의 16S DNA부위의 염기서열을 대상으로 하였으며 비교 및 분석에는 소프트웨어인 BioEdit ver. 7.0.9.0 프로그램을 사용하였다. 그 결과 다금바리, 자바리, 능성어를 판별할 수 있는 각각의 NS-003-F/NS-005-R(136 bp), EB-001-F/EB-002-R(181 bp), ES-001-F/ES-001-R(123 bp) 프라이머를 개발하였으며, PCR 조건을 확립하였다. 또한 적용성 검토를 위하여 우럭, 참돔을 대상으로 실시한 결과 비 특이적 밴드가 형성되지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 다금바리 등에 대한 판별법은 시중에 불법적으로 유통 가능성이 있는 제품을 신속하고 과학적으로 판별할 수 있어 식품안전관리에 활용도가 매우 클 것으로 기대된다.
