Nanometric Lactobacillus plantarum nF1 (nLp-nF1) is a biogenics consisting of dead L. plantarum cells pretreated with heat and a nanodispersion process. In this study, we investigated the immune-enhancing effects of nLp-nF1 in vivo and in vitro. To evaluate the immunostimulatory effects of nLp-nF1, mice immunosuppressed by cyclophosphamide (CPP) treatment were administered with nLp-nF1. As expected, CPP restricted the immune response of mice, whereas oral administration of nLp-nF1 significantly increased the total IgG in the serum, and cytokine production (interleukin-12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$)) in bone marrow cells. Furthermore, nLp-nF1 enhanced the production of splenic cytokines such as IL-12, TNF-${\alpha}$, and interferon gamma (IFN-${\gamma}$). In vitro, nLp-nF1 stimulated the immune response by enhancing the production of cytokines such as IL-12, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IFN-${\gamma}$. Moreover, nLp-nF1 given a food additive enhanced the immune responses when combined with various food materials in vitro. These results suggest that nLp-nF1 could be used to strengthen the immune system and recover normal immunity in people with a weak immune system, such as children, the elderly, and patients.

Transferrin ($T_{f}$) has been used as a targeting ligand for delivering liposome/interleukin-12 (IL-12) pDNA complexes to cancer cells mostly due to the greater number of transferrin receptors ($T_{f}R$) found on tumor cells than on normal cells. $T_{f}$ was conjugated to liposomes via the reaction of MPB-PE with thiol groups of $T_{f}$ introduced by a heterobifunctional cross-linking agent, N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP). Four days after C26 inoculation when the tumor volume reached ${\sim}100mm^{3}$, tumor-bearing Balb/c mice were injected intravenously with $T_{f}-liposome/IL-12 pDNA$complexes twice a week for 3 weeks. Significant suppression of tumor growth was achieved in the group treated with the $T_{f}-liposome/IL-12 pDNA$ complexes, with a dose of $10{\mu}g$ of IL-12 pDNA showing the highest suppression effect among the tested doses. Similar results were obtained when the therapy was initiated one day after tumor inoculation, although in this case $30{\mu}g$ IL-12 pDNA/$T_{f}-liposome$ complexes showed a significant suppression of tumor growth between 19 and 23 days after tumor inoculation. This result indicates that the transferrin receptor-targeted liposomal system is an efficient delivery agent of therapeutic genes, such as IL-12, in mice and that its potential clinical use warrants further research investigation.

Apoptosis is essential for a variety of pathophysiological progress. Apoptosis induction by various agents changes cellular morphology, DNA content and lipid membrane composition. Recently, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is avidly released from not only platelets and erythrocytes but vascular endothelium. Here we established S1P releasing cells by deleting S1P lyase (F9-12 cells). We observed apoptosis induction by the treatment of fumonisin B1 (FB1) in F9-12 cells but not in F9 wild-type cells. We measured high amounts of accumulated S1P and dihydroS1P (DHS1P) in FB1-induced apoptotic F9-12 cells. We also showed DHS1P release in an early stage of the apoptosis induction by FB1 but not by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced apoptosis, suggesting differential apoptotic processes.

The effect of $BaF_2$ flux in $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) formation was investigated. Phase transformation of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) was characterized by using XRD, SEM, and TEM-EDS, and it was revealed that the sequential formation of the $Y_4Al_2O_9$(YAM), $YAlO_3$(YAP) and $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) in the temperature range of 1000-1500$^{\circ}C$. Single phase of YAG was revealed from 1300$^{\circ}C$. In order to find out the effect of $BaF_2$ flux, three modeling experiments between starting materials (1.5$Al_2O_3$-2.5$Y_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$-$BaF_2$, and $Al_2O_3$-$BaF_2$) were done. These modeling experiments showed that the nucleation process occurs via the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, whereas the grain growth process is controlled via the liquid-phase diffusion route. YAG:Ce phosphor particles prepared using a proposed technique exhibit a spherical shape, high crystallinity, and an emission intensity. According to the experimental results conducted in this investigation, 5% of $BaF_2$ was the best concentration for physical, chemical and optical properties of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) that is approximately 10-15% greater than that of commercial phosphor powder.

$(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-mannopyranosyl$ 골격에 $(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\alpha}-{\small{D}}-galactopyranosyl$ 곁사슬을 갖는 직선사슬로 구성된 다당류로 강한 점성을 나타내는 타라검을 황산암모늄 침전법을 사용하여 분획하였다. 황산암모늄 농도에 따라 얻어진 침전물을 원심분리 및 투석 후 동결상태에서 건조시켜서 첫 번째 분획물을 얻고 동일한 방법으로 각 단계별 분획물을 얻어 F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6으로 표기하였다. 각 분획물들의 묽은 농도범위 0.05 g/dL 이하에서 우베로드 점도계로 흐르는 시간을 측정하여 본성 점도를 구하였으며 그 값은 F1: 12.24, F2: 9.38, F3: 12.44, F4: 11.14, F5: 10.51, F6: 10.17dL/g이었다. F1과 F2 분획물이 갖는 본성 점도는 기대 값보다 작았고 그 원인은 단백질 성분이 비교적 많이 포함되어 분자 간 상호작용으로 생긴 용해도에 미치는 영향으로 판단되었다. 또한 고분자 물질의 용질-용매간의 상호작용과 응집상태에 의존하는 상태를 나타내는 Huggins 계수(k')값을 측정한 결과 점도 값이 클수록 k'값이 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 원뿔 평판 점도계로 겉보기 점도를 측정하여 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 점도가 감소하는 전단 묽어짐 현상을 확인하였다. SEC 측정으로 중량평균 분자량, 수 평균 분자량, 회전 반경 및 본성 점도 값들이 $c_p=0.5mg/mL$, dn/dc=0.145의 RI 피크면적으로 계산되었다. 본성 점도 값은 F3:1 0.93, F4: 10.01, F5: 9.33, F6: 9.33 dL/g이었고 Mw: 658.52-776.71, Mn: 318.04-495.78 및 Mz: 952.74-1126.00 kg/mol이었다. 타라검 분획물들의 분자량과 유변학적 성질에 관한 연구로부터 화학물질에 대한 안정제 및 식품첨가제로서의 효과를 높이고 점성 강화제로 사용되는 범위가 확대될 것으로 기대된다.

A hydrated strontium iron fluoride, Sr₂Fe₂F₁₀(H₂O) has been synthesized and characterized. The material was synthesized through mild hydrothermal reaction using an aqueous CF₃COOH solution. The material exhibits a one-dimensional structure consisting of chains of corner-shared Fe³⁺F₆ octahedra, isolated Fe³⁺F₅(H₂O) octahedra, chains of SrF₁₀ polyhedra and isolated SrF₈ polyhedra, respectively. Magnetic property measurements on Sr₂Fe₂F₁₀(H₂O) reveals an antiferromagnetic order at T_N of ~2.5 K with a Weiss temperature (θ) of -61.51 K.

A survey of Fusarium wilt of perilla was conducted in 12 locations in Korea from 1999 to 2001. The disease occurred in 74 out of 187 fields in the 12 locations surveyed, and incidence of the disease reached up to 30% at its maximum in some perilla fields in Seosan and Dangjin. Incidence of the disease in the other locations ranged from 0.2 to 20%. A total of 327 isolates of Fusarium spp. were obtained from stems and roots of the diseased perilla plants. The isolates were identified based on their morphological characteristics. Out of the 327 isolates of Fusarium, 277 isolates from 12 locations were identified as F. oxysporum, 11 isolates from three locations as F. solani,17 isolates from two locations as F. equiseti, 4 isolates from one location as F. avenaceum and 6 isolates from one location as F. subglutinans. The other 12 isolates of Fusarium from four locations were unidentified. Twelve isolates of F. oxysporum and two isolates each of the other Fusarium spp. were tested for their pathogenicity to five cultivars of perilla. Seven isolates of F. oxysporum were strongly pathogenic to some perilla cultivars, but the other five isolates were weakly or not pathogenic. One isolate of F. solani was strongly pathogenic to all the perilla cultivars tested, but another isolate was not pathogenic. All the isolates of F. equiseti, F. avenaceum, and F. Subglutinans tested were not pathogenic to any of the perilla cultivars tested. Symptoms on the perilla plants induced by artificial inoculation with strongly pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum and F. solani appeared as wilt, stem blight, and root yet, which were similar to those observed in the fields. The isolates which induced symptoms by artificial inoculation were re-isolated from the lesions of the perilla plants inoculated. All the isolates of F. oxysporum tested were not pathogenic to eight other crops inoculated. Results of this study reveal that F. oxysporum is the main pathogen of perilla wilt and that it is host specific to perilla. forma specialis of F. oxysporum causing wilt of perilla is proposed as perillae.

시계열에는 1년 주기의 계절변동이 포함되어 있다. 시계열의 기조적 움직임을 살펴보기 위해서는 시계열에서 계절 변동을 제거하는 계절조정이 필요하다. 계절조정 프로그램 X-12-ARIMA에서는 F검정과 Kruskal-Wallis검정으로 시계열에 존재하는 계절변동(계절성)을 식별하고, 스펙트럼 그래프로 계절조정후 불규칙변동에 계절변동이 남아 있는 지 점검한다. 본 연구에서는 평활 검정을 계절성 검정에 적용한 평활 계절성 검정을 제안하고, 그 특성을 모의실험과 실제 시계열에 대한 계절성 검정을 통해 살펴보았다. 모의실험 결과를 보면 평활 계절성 검정이 X-12-ARIMA의 스펙트럼 분석을 계량화하고, 계절성 검정인 F검정과 Kruskal-Wallis검정을 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
