Diacylglycerol(DAG) was produced by enzymatic esterification of glyceryl mono-oleate(GMO) and conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) in a stirred-batch type reactor. The reaction was catalyzed by lipozyme RMIM(an immobilized lipase from Rizomucor miehei). DAG was isolated by a short-path distillation process and decolorized. DAG oil was composed of 87.3% DAG, 11.4% triacylglycerol(TAG), and 1.5% monoacylglycerol(MAG)(all w/w). Major fatty acids in DAG oil were oleic acid(54%), CLA(31.1%), and linoleic acid(7%). DAG oil iodine,and acid values were 108.8, 2.57, and 1, respectively. The DAG oil solid fat index(SFI) and thermograms were obtained using differential scanning calorimetry.

This paper was to characterize the transfer of diacylglycerol(DAG) from lipophorin to Manduca sexta larval fat bodies. $[^3H]$-DAG-labeled Lp($[^3H]$-DAG-Lp) was incubated with the larval fat bodies under different times and the time of DAG transfer was determined. Incubation of fat bodies with $[^3H]$-DAG-Lp resulted in accumulation of DAG and TAG in the tissue. The transfer of $[^3H]$-DAG was inhibited in the presence of suramin and unlabeled lipophorin, which would be consistent with a lipophorin receptor. The effects of suramin may be complex because it can change membrane properties when bound to the lipophorin receptor and affect the rate of DAG transfer. To investigate the lipid uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis, we treated with endocytosis inhibitors, ammonium chloride and chloroquine. The results show that the transfer process of lipid by lipophorin and fat bodies is receptor-mediated endocytosis.

The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers esterified in diacylglycerol (DAG)-rich oil on lipid metabolism was investigated. Since dietary DAG has been known to induce the regression of atherosclerosis, CLA-DAG and olive-DAG oils containing similar levels of DAG (51.4~54.2%) were synthesized from olive oil. Hyperlipidemic C57BL/6J mice were then fed high-fat high-cholesterol diets supplemented with these oils (5% each) for 7 wk. The CLA-DAG diet containing 2.1% CLA isomers (0.78% c9,t11-CLA; 1.18% t10,c12-CLA) remarkably increased the levels of total plasma cholesterol and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) along with hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) contents. Furthermore, the CLA-DAG diet inhibited fat uptake into adipose tissue whereas fat deposition (especially in the liver) was increased, resulting in the development of fatty livers. Hepatic fatty acid composition in the CLA-DAG mice was different from that of the olive-DAG mice, showing higher ratios of C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1/C18:0 in the liver. The activity of hepatic acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) was higher in CLA-DAG mice while plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were lower in CLA-DAG mice compared to the olive-DAG animals. Results of the present study suggest that CLA incorporation into DAG oil could induce atherosclerosis in mice.

Capacitated goat spermatozoa generated diacyl glycerol (DAG) when suspended in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate medium and induced by progesterone or $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore A23187. We have added Sn-1-oleoyl-2-acetyl glycerol externally, to study the effect of DAG in goat sperm acrosomal exocytosis. Addition of neomycin abolished the DAG generating capacity of progesterone in a dose dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of a phosphoinositidase C activated phospholipase C system in the process. The level of increase in phosphatidic acid was considerably low and was produced well after the DAG generation thereby suggesting the involvement of a DAG kinase which phosphorylates DAG to produce PA. The inhibition of progesterone mediated effect by inhibitors of $GABA_A/Cl^{-}$ channel and $Ca^{2+}$ channels further supports the evidence that the events of binding of agonist to the receptor(s), opening of $Ca^{2+}$ channels and the activation of phospholipase C are reconciled to perform the function of acrosome reaction in capacitated goat spermatozoa.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) were synthesized by enzymatic esterification of glyceryl monooleate (GMO) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in a shaking water bath. The reaction was catalyzed by Lipozyme TLIM (immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosa). Effects of reaction time, molar ratio, enzyme road and molecular sieves were studied. Results of normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) analysis were performed. At 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 (GMO : CLA) molar ratio and Lipozyme TLIM of 20% amount, DAG were produced in 42.6, 54.4 and 54.6 area% in 1 hr, respectively. When different Lipozyme TLIM amounts (2, 5, 10, 20%) were used with 2:1 (GMO : CLA) molar ratio, DAG were produced 21.4 (24 hr), 51.7 (12 hr), 56.2 (6 hr) and 54.4 (1 hr) area%, respectively. The reaction in the absence of molecular sieves increased DAG contents. The maximum DAG concentration conditions were obtained with molar ratio of 2:1 (GMO : CLA), lipase concentration of 10% (of substrate), 10% molecular sieves and reaction time of 6 hours at 55$^{\circ}C$. Under this reaction condition, produced DAG-rich oil was composed of 69 area% DAG, 7.9 area% TAG, 2 area% FFA, and 21.1 area% MAG.

The effects of medium-chain enriched diacylglycerol (MCE-DAG) oil on hepatic cholesterol homeostasis were investigated. HepG2 hepatocytes were treated with either 0.5, 1.0, or $1.5{\mu}g/mL$ of MCE-DAG for 48 h. There was no evidence of cytotoxicity by MCE-DAG up to $1.5{\mu}g/mL$. The level of proteins for cholesterol uptake including CLATHRIN and LDL receptor increased by MCE-DAG in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). Furthermore, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, an inhibitor of LDLR, was dose-dependently diminished (p<0.05), indicating cholesterol clearance raised. MCE-DAG significantly increased 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase and acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase2 (p<0.05), required for cholesterol synthesis, and their transcriptional regulator sterol regulatory element-binding protein2 (p<0.05). These findings suggest that given conditions of prolonged sterol fasting in the current study activated both hepatic cholesterol synthesis and clearance by MCE-DAG. However, total intracellular level of cholesterol was not altered by MCE-DAG. Taken together, MCE-DAG has the potential to prevent hypercholesterolemia by increasing hepatic cholesterol uptake without affecting intracellular cholesterol level.

DagA, a ${\beta}$-agarase, was produced by cultivating a recombinant Streptomyces lividans in a glucose medium or a mixed-sugar medium simulating microalgae hydrolysate. The optimum composition of the glucose medium was identified as 25 g/l glucose, 10 g/l yeast extract, and $5g/l\;MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$. With this, a DagA activity of 7.26 U/ml could be obtained. When a mixed-sugar medium containing 25 g/l of sugars was used, a DagA activity of 4.81 U/ml was obtained with very low substrate utilization efficiency owing to the catabolic repression of glucose against the other sugars. When glucose and galactose were removed from the medium, an unexpectedly high DagA activity of about 8.7 U/ml was obtained, even though a smaller amount of sugars was used. It is recommended for better substrate utilization and process economics that glucose and galactose be eliminated from the medium, by being consumed by some other useful applications, before the production of DagA.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) was produced from lipase by the catalyzed synthesis of soybean oil (SBO) and glyceryl monooleate (GMO) with Lipozyme TLIM (Thermomyces lanuginosa). Effects of reaction time, molar ratio and enzyme road were studied. When 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 (SBO:GMO) molar ratios with 20% Lipozyme TLIM were applied in a 1-hr reaction, the concentrations of DAG produced were 17.8, 20.0 and 20.4 g/100 g oil, respectively. Different amounts (2, 5, 10 and 20%) of Lipozyme TLIM were used at a 1:2 (SBO:GMO) molar ratio, and the concentrations of DAG produced in a 1-hr reaction were 10.8, 14.0, 16.9 and 20.4 g/100 g oil, respectively. During a 72-hr reaction, 10.8-22.7 g/100 g oil of DAG were produced under the reaction conditions in this study.

Background and Objectives: To determine the anatomic position of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) canal in patients with mandibular prognathism using the cone-beam CT (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Fifty rami from 25 patients were evaluated. The images were taken by i-CAT and reconstructed 3-dimensionally using the Simplant 11 program. The linear distances between the IAN canal to the buccal cortex (a, $a^{\dag}$ and $a^{\ddag}$), from the IAN canal to the alveolar crest (b and $b^{\dag}$) and the anterior margin ($b^{\ddag}$) and finally the buccal cortical thickness (c, $c^{\dag}$ and $c^{\ddag}$) were measured at three reference planes (VP, OP and HP). Results: On the left side, the average distance of a, b and c were 7.12, 15.96 and 3.60 mm on the VP plane, respectively. On the OP, the distance of $a^{\dag}$, $b^{\dag}$ and $c^{\dag}$ was 6.11, 8.83 and 2.63 mm. For the HP, the distance of $a^{\ddag}$, $b^{\ddag}$ and $c^{\ddag}$ was 4.84, 10.11 and 2.30 mm. On the right side, the distance of a, b and c, on the VP, was 7.10, 16.13 and 3.42 mm, respectively. On the OP, the distance of $a^{\dag}$, $b^{\dag}$ and $c^{\dag}$ was 4.77, 8.75 and 2.68 mm. On the HP, the distance of $a^{\dag}$, $b^{\dag}$ and $c^{\ddag}$ was 4.55, 9.84 and 2.38 mm. Regarding the difference between genders, the distance in male's was longer than female's on the VP (p=0.019), and was thicker in males than females on the HP (p=0.002). Conclusion: The CBCT data provided accurate information about the location and course of the IAN.

Intrusion detection is very important for network situation awareness. While a few methods have been proposed to detect network intrusion, they cannot directly and effectively utilize semi-quantitative information consisting of expert knowledge and quantitative data. Hence, this paper proposes a new detection model based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and a belief rule base (BRB). In the proposed model, called DAG-BRB, the DAG is employed to construct a multi-layered BRB model that can avoid explosion of combinations of rule number because of a large number of types of intrusion. To obtain the optimal parameters of the DAG-BRB model, an improved constraint covariance matrix adaption evolution strategy (CMA-ES) is developed that can effectively solve the constraint problem in the BRB. A case study was used to test the efficiency of the proposed DAG-BRB. The results showed that compared with other detection models, the DAG-BRB model has a higher detection rate and can be used in real networks.
