This study investigated the effect of vitamin $B_6$ deficiency on antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid profile in rats with exercise-induced oxidative stress. Forty eight rats were fed either a vitamin $B_6$ deficient diet (B6-) or a control diet (control) for 4 weeks and then subdivided into 3 groups: pre-exercise (PreE); post-exercise (PostE); recess after exercise (recessE). Compared to those of control group, plasma catalase and hepatic cytosol superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) activities of B6- group were lower regardless of exercise. The ratio of reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) of B6 - group was lower in PreE and there was no difference between PostE and recessE. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) of B6- was significantly higher in PreE and PostE. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level of B6- group was lower regardless of exercise. Atherosclerotic index of $B_6$- group was higher in PreE and there was no difference between PostE and recessE. It is suggested that a reduction in antioxidative status caused by vitamin $B_6$ deficiency may be aggravated under exercise-induced oxidative stress.

Background: IgE is closely related to the development of allergies. However, the poor relationship between the specific IgE level and the severity of allergic diseases suggests the possibility of functionally different IgE isoforms. With this in mind, rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 activation was analyzed with each type of rat IgE for two parameters, exocytosis and IL-4 mRNA production. RBL-2H3 has been well documented in the rat mucosal mast cell line. Methods: RBL-2H3 cells sensitized with each kind of rat IgE was activated by cross-linking FcRI with B5 (monoclonal anti-rat IgE mouse IgG antibodies). The RBL-2H3 exocytosis was measured by analyzing the ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase level, and the level of IL-4 mRNA synthesis was analyzed using semiquantitative RT-PCR. Rat IgE, which was produced by a parasite infection (REP), was prepared using either Paragonimus westermani metacercariae (REP-PW) or Anisakis simplex third stage larvae (REP-AS). A rat IgE prototype of IR162 was prepared by a peritoneal injection of immunocytoma. Results: The level of exocytosis showed a linear relationship with the rat IgE concentration when REP-PW or REP-AS was applied. However, it exhibited a biphasic response with IR162. In addition, the time course of heating at $56^{\circ}C$ illustrated the similarity between REP-PW and REP-AS, which differed from that of IR162. In contrast, the level of IL-4 mRNA synthesis in the RBL-2H3 cells with IR162 was comparable to that of either REP-PW or REP-AS. Conclusion: These results suggest that functionally different rat IgE isoforms exists in RBL-2H3 exocytosis.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the phase-by-phase elapsed time, the COG, the body joint angle changes and the angular velocities of each phase of Handspring Salto Forward Piked performed by 4 college gymnasts through 3D movement analysis program. 1. The average elapsed time for each phase was .13sec for Phase 1, .18sec for Phase 2, .4sec for Phase 3, and .3sec for Phase 5. The elapsed time for Phase 1 to Phase 3 handspring was .35sec on average and the elapsed time for Phase 4 to Phase 5 handspring salto forward piked was .7sec on average. And so it showed that the whole elapsed time was 1.44sec. 2. The average horizontal changes of COG were 93.2 cm at E1, 138. 5 cm at E2, 215.7 cm at E3, 369.2 cm at E4, 450.7 cm at E5, and 553.1 cm at E6. The average vertical changes of COG were 83.1 cm at E1, 71.3 cm at E2, 78.9 cm at E3, 93.7 cm at E4, 150.8 cm at E5, and 97.2 cm at E6. 3. The average shoulder joint angles at each phase were 131.6 deg at E1, 153.5 deg at E2, 135.4 deg at E3, 113.4 deg at E4, 39.6 deg at E5, and 67.5 deg at E6. And the average hip joint angles at each phase were 82.2 deg at E1, 60 deg at E2, 101.9 deg at E3, 161.2 deg at E4, 97.7 deg at E5, and 167 deg at E6. 4. The average shoulder joint angular velocities at each phase were 130.9deg/s E1, 73.1 deg/s at E2, -133.9 deg/s at E3, -194.4 deg/s at E4, 29.4 deg/s at E5, and -50.1 deg/s at E6. And the average hip joint angular velocities at each phase were -154.7 deg/s E1, -96.5 deg/s at E2, 495.9 deg/s at E3, 281.5 deg/s at E4, 90.3 deg/s at E5, and 181.7 deg/s at E6. The results shows that, as for the performance of handspring salto forward piked, it is important to move in short time and horizontally from the hop step to the point to place the hands on the floor and jump, and to stretch the hip joints as much as possible after the displacement of the hands and to keep the hip joints stretched and high in the vertical position at the takeoff. And it is also important to bend the shoulder joints and the hip joints fast and spin as much as possible after the takeoff, and to decrease the speed of spinning by bending he shoulder joints and the hip joints quickly after the highest point of COG and make a stable landing.

Bovine coat color is decided by the melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) genotype mutation and melanogenesis. Specially, in the various cattle breeds, dominant black coat color is expressed by dominant genotype of $E^D$, red or brown is expressed in the frame shift mutation of recessive homozygous e by base pair deletion and wild type of $E^+$ is expressed in various coat colors. However, not very well known about the effected of MC1R genotype mutation on the coat color through family lines in KBC. Therefore, this study were to investigate effect of MC1R genotype mutation on the coat color, and to suggest mating breed system in accordance with of MC1R genotype for increased on brindle coat color appearance. Parents (sire 2 heads and dam 3 heads) and offspring (total : 54 heads) from crossbreeding in KBC family line with the MC1R genotype and phenotype records were selected as experimental animals. The relationship between melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genotypes expression verified by PCR-RFLP, and brindle coat color appearance to the family line of the cross mating breed from MC1R genotype pattern was determined. As a result, 4MC1R genetic variations, $E^+/E^+$ (sire 1), $E^+/e$ (sire 2 and dam 3), $E^+/e$ with 4 bands of 174, 207 and 328 bp (dam 1) and $E^+/e$ with 3 bands of 174, 207, 328 and 535 bp (dam 2) from parents (sire and dam) of KBC. However, 3 genetic variations, e/e (24%), $E^+/E^+$ (22%) and $E^+/e$ (56%) were identified in offspring. Also, brindle coat color expressrated was the e/e with the 0%, $E^+/E^+$ with 67% and $E^+/e$ with 77% from MC1R genotype in offspring on the cross mating of KBC. Furthermore, when the sire had $E^+/e$ genotype and the dam had $E^+/E^+$ with the 3 bands or $E^+/e$ genotype, and both had whole body-brindle coat color, 62% of the offspring had whole body-brindle coat color. Therefore, the seresults, the mating system from MC1R genotype patterns of the sires ($E^+/e$) and dams ($E^+/E^+$ with the 3 bands or $E^+/e$) with brindle coat color may have the highest whole body-brindle coat color expression in their offspring.

E-Government is an administrative innovation that utilizes information technology and is the most powerful means to strengthen government competitiveness. At this moment, countries around the world are continuously improving government competitiveness by continuously implementing government innovation through the implementation of e-Government. Many scholars argue that e-Government should be changed in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, Korea adopted the government 3.0 instead of the e-Government and promoted the information policy. But the result was a failure. Korea was once a leading country in e-Government, but now it is falling due to government 3.0. The reason can be analyzed in various ways. First of all, over the past decade, Korea's e-Government has been neglected without obtaining the permanence of policy. And the Korea government pursued a new strategy under the name of disconnecting from the past and lost policy permanence. Therefore, future information policy, especially e-Government policies, should be pursued from a politically neutral point of view. The lesson of government 3.0 failure in Korea is clear. Regardless of the government's replacement & regime change, the information policy should be pursued with consistency.

Stereoselective synthesis of farnesol, (2E, 6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-tiren-1-ol(1), was carried out using 5-bromo-2-methylpent-2-ene(2) as a starting material. After conversion of 5-bromo-2-methylpent-2-ene(2) to the corresponding iodide compound, 5-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)-2,3-dihydrofuran(4) was obtained by alkylation of 5-lithio-2,3-dihydrofuran with 5-iodo-2-methylpent-2-ene. Ni(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of the dihydrofuran 4 with MeMgI was proceeded to give (3E)-4,8-dimethylnona-3,7-dien-1-ol(5) in 72% yield. The resultant homoallylic alcohol 5 was converted to the (5E)-6,10-dimethylundeca-5,9-dien-2-one(8) in 4 steps. Compound 8 was condensed with dimethylmethoxycarbonylmethylphosponate in benzene follwed by $NaBH_4$ reduction in EtOH to yield (2E, 6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-trien-1-ol(1). Ni(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of MeMgI with dihydrofuran 4 was a key step in this synthesis of farnesol(1).

In this study, H&E staining is necessary to distinguish cells. However, dyeing directly requires a lot of money and time. The purpose is to convert the phase image of unstained cells to the amplitude image of stained cells. Image data taken with FPM was created with Phase image and Amplitude image using Matlab's parameters. Through normalization, a visually identifiable image was obtained. Through normalization, a visually distinguishable image was obtained. Using the GAN algorithm, a Fake Amplitude image similar to the Real Amplitude image was created based on the Phase image, and cells were distinguished by objectification using MASK R-CNN with the Fake Amplitude image As a result of the study, D loss max is 3.3e-1, min is 6.8e-2, G loss max is 6.9e-2, min is 2.9e-2, A loss max is 5.8e-1, min is 1.2e-1, Mask R-CNN max is 1.9e0, and min is 3.2e-1.

Bacteriophage E3 grows very rapidly and forms a large size plaque with a diameter of 1 cm. The promoter controlling the expression of the gene encoding the major capsid protein is thought to be most efficient. To find out this promoter, this gene was mapped in the genome according to the following procedure. The major capsid protein was purified from phage particle and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was revealed. Based on this sequence,a degernerate oligonucleotide probe was designed and used for screening of the genomic DNA fragments. From the DNA sequence of the selected clone, the gene encoding the major capsid protein was mapped at 70% of E3 genome. The expression of this gene was not sensitive to rifampicin which indicated the presence of E3's own RNA polymerase.

The properties of three esterases (E2, E6 and E11) which were previously purified from Pieris rapae L. were determined and physiological role of E6 was inferred using immunological methods. Based on inhibitor study, all of the purified esterases were found to be carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1). The Km values for E2, E6 and E11 were determined to be 6.89 X 10-$^4$M. 3.19 $\times$ l0-$^4$M and 3.69 X 10-$^4$M, respectively. The molecular weights of E2, E6 and E11 were estimated to be 42 KD, 81 KD and 174 KD, respectively. The isoelectric points of E2, E6 and E11 were estimated to be pH 5.54, pH 5.89 and pH 6.50, respectively. The concentration of E6 during development was highest at the late 5th instar larval stage and that according to organs at the same stage was highest in midgut. These results suggest that E6 might be a hydrolase involved in the digestion of dietary lipids.
