Marine-derived microbes have yielded a variety of metabolites so far. In the course of the project to find metabolites from marine microbes, an isolate of Penicillium glabrum (SF 5317) was selected for chemical investigation. A large scale culture of this strain in PDA media was extracted with an organic solvent and the extract was subjected to a serious of chromatography, which led to six metabolites. Their chemical structures were elucidated as sulochrin (1), questin (2), questinol (3), ergosterol (4), 3-methyldesmethoxyyangonin (5), and hydroxysulochrin (6) on the basis of spectroscopic data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second isolation of compounds 5 and 6 in nature and especially 6 is isolated from Penicillium sp. for the first time.

The treatment of cleft lip and palate must be based on a complete knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and growth of the involved deformity, because of not only the appearance but also impaired functions such as phonation, mastication, respiration and lingual posture of the maxillomandibular complex. Delaire has long studied all these aspects, and has published many numbers of articles and constructed a philosophy concerning the significance and interrelationship of the various structures. The results obtained from its application seem to be particularly valid from a clinical point of view, although it has not all been scientifically supported by experimental data. For these reasons, Delaire's primary unilateral and bilateral cheilorhinoplasty procedures are particulary good, as is his secondary gingivoalveoloplsty procedure during the course of the surgical repair of the hard palate. In order to understand Delaire's philosophy, it is necessary to consider the normal and pathologic anatomy of the structures involved in the deformity, the role of some structures, such as nasal septum, musculature, and tongue, and some functions, such as dental occlusion or nasal respiration, which play important roles in maxillary and particularly premaxillary growth. Despite of important concept and meanings, Delaire's philosophy has not been introduced widely to our Korean cleft surgeons yet. So authors will summarize the basic concepts of Delaire's philosophy according to already published literatures and lectures based on our previous treatment outcomes.

In the course of our program to search for antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory agents from plants, twelve phenolics (1-12) were isolated from the stems of Parthenocissus tricuspidata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR, and MS) data analyses, and comparison with published data. At the concentration of $100{\mu}g/ml$, compounds 2, 4, 6 and 10 possessed potential effects on anti-blood coagulation, with inhibitory percentage of 216, 174, 148 and 225%, respectively; while aspirin used as positive control showed 181% inhibition at the same concentration. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of isolated compounds (1-12) was investigated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine macrophage cells (RAW264.7). Compounds 2, 4 and 6 also potential inhibited the production of nitric oxide, with $IC_{50}$ values of $11.9{\pm}0.3$, $2.9{\pm}0.2$ and $29.0{\pm}0.6{\mu}M$, respectively. Celastrol, the positive control used, gave an $IC_{50}$ value of $1.0{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$.

성공적인 이-러닝을 위해서는 학습자들이 보다 효과적으로 자기주도적 학습을 수행할 수 있는 학습 환경의 지원이 전제돼야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 기존 이-러닝 시스템들은 자기주도적 학습을 촉진할 수 있는 요인들을 부분적으로만 적용하여 학습자의 자기주도적 학습력 향상을 극대화시키지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 학습방법, 평가방법 및 학습내용수준, 다양한 측면에서의 학습동기 유발 전략을 제공하여 이를 종합적으로 반영하여 보다 향상된 자기주도적 학습 환경을 지원하는 웹기반 이-러닝 시스템을 설계하여 제안한다. 제안된 시스템의 효과성을 검증하기 위하여 대학교 자료구조 교과목에 적용한 후 수강학생을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과 제안된 시스템은 학습자가 자신의 학습력을 향상시키며 효과적으로 자기주도적 학습을 수행할 수 있는 학습 환경을 지원한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: To report the use of multiband accelerated echo-planar imaging (EPI) for resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to achieve rapid high temporal resolution at 3T compared to conventional EPI. Materials and Methods: rs-fMRI data were acquired from 20 healthy right-handed volunteers by using three methods: conventional single-band gradient-echo EPI acquisition (Data 1), multiband gradient-echo EPI acquisition with 240 volumes (Data 2) and 480 volumes (Data 3). Temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) maps were obtained by dividing the mean of the time course of each voxel by its temporal standard deviation. The resting-state sensorimotor network (SMN) and default mode network (DMN) were estimated using independent component analysis (ICA) and a seed-based method. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed between the tSNR map, SMN, and DMN from the three data sets for between-group analysis. P < 0.05 with a family-wise error (FWE) correction for multiple comparisons was considered statistically significant. Results: One-way ANOVA and post-hoc two-sample t-tests showed that the tSNR was higher in Data 1 than Data 2 and 3 in white matter structures such as the striatum and medial and superior longitudinal fasciculus. One-way ANOVA revealed no differences in SMN or DMN across the three data sets. Conclusion: Within the adapted metrics estimated under specific imaging conditions employed in this study, multiband accelerated EPI, which substantially reduced scan times, provides the same quality image of functional connectivity as rs-fMRI by using conventional EPI at 3T. Under employed imaging conditions, this technique shows strong potential for clinical acceptance and translation of rs-fMRI protocols with potential advantages in spatial and/or temporal resolution. However, further study is warranted to evaluate whether the current findings can be generalized in diverse settings.

Grb2 is an important adaptor protein in the mitogenic Ras signaling pathway of receptor tyrosine kinases, and contains one SH2 domain and two SH3 domains. The SH2 domain binds to specific phosphotyrosine motifs on receptors or adaptor proteins such as Shc. The SH2 domain antagonists may lead to blocking of the oncogenic Ras signals and to developing new antitumor agents. In the course of screening SH2 antagonists from natural sources, cslerotiorin (1) and isochromophilone IV (2) were isolated from a strain, Penicillium multicolor F1753, and their structures were established by NMR spectral data. The metabolites significantly inhibited the binding between the Grb2-SH2 domain and phosphopeptide derived from the Shc protein, with $IC_{50}$ values of $22{\;}\mu\textrm{M}{\;}and{\;}48{\;}\mu\textrm{M}$ for (1) and (2), respectively. The compounds are the first nonpeptidic inhibitors of the SH2 domain from a natural source.

The selective inhibition of PTP1B has been widely recognized as a potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. In the course of screening for PTP1B inhibitory fungal metabolites, the organic extracts of several fungal species isolated from marine environments were found to exhibit significant inhibitory effects, and the bioassay-guided investigation of these extracts resulted in the isolation of fructigenine A (1), cyclopenol (2), echinulin (3), flavoglaucin (4), and viridicatol (5). The structures of these compounds were determined mainly by analysis of NMR and MS data. These compounds inhibited PTP1B activity with 50% inhibitory concentration values of 10.7, 30.0, 29.4, 13.4, and 64.0 ${\mu}M$, respectively. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis of PTP1B inhibition by compounds 1 and 5 suggested that compound 1 inhibited PTP1B activity in a noncompetitive manner, whereas compound 5 inhibited PTP1B activity in a competitive manner.
