We visualized the distribution of heterochromatin in a single nucleus using plasmonic nanoparticle-conjugated H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 antibodies. Due to distance-dependent plasmonic coupling effects between nanoprobes, their scattering spectra shift to longer wavelengths as the distance between heterochromatin histone markers reduced during oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). These observations were supported by simulating scattering profiles based on considerations of particle numbers, interparticle distances, and the spatial arrangements of plasmonic nanoprobes. Using this plasmon-based colourimetric imaging, we estimated changes in distances between H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 during the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci in OIS cells. We anticipate that the devised analytical technique combined with high-spatial imaging and spectral simulation will eventually lead to a new means of diagnosing and monitoring disease progression and cellular senescence.

한방에서 종기, 치질, 위암 및 염증의 치료목적으로 사용되어온 당느릅나무 (Ulmus davidiana Planch) 근피의 메탄을 추출물로부터 sesquiterpene o-naphthoquinone류 화합물 세가지를 분리 정제하였다. 이들의 구조를 UV-vis, IR, EIMS, HR-EIMS 및 여러 가지 NMR 스펙트럼, 특히 새로운 기법인 pulse field gradient (PFG)-HMQC 및 HMBC 스펙트럼의 분석에 의하여 결정하였다. 그 결과 이들은 2,3-dihydro-3,6,9-trimethylnaphtho(1,8-b,c)pyran-7,8-dione, 3,6,9-trimethylnaphtho(1,8-b,c)pyran-7,8-dione 및 2,3-dihydro-4-hydroxy-3,6,9-trimethylnaphtho(1,8-b,c)pyran-7,8-dione으로 동정 되었으며, 각각 mansonone E, F 및 H로 밝혀졌다. 이 화합물들은 당느릅나무에서는 처음 분리되었으며, 특히 mansonone H는 아프리카 열대식물인 Mansonia altissima Chev 및 Helicters angustifolia에서 분리된 후 자연계에서 처음으로 분리되었다. 문헌에 잘못 보고된 mansonone E 와 F의 C-3a, C-6a 및 C-9b의 세 사급탄소의 chemical shift를 최신 PFG-NMR기법에 의하여 동정하여 교정하였다.

옥수수 뿌리로부터 분리한 13,000g pellet과 13,000~80,000g pellet 내에 있는 membrane-bound ATPases의 특성을 구명하였다. 13,000g pellet과 13,000~80,000g pellet의 membrane-bound ATPases의 최적 pH는 5와 9였다. Discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation에 의한 13,000g pellet의 분획중 Fraction C는 pH 5에서, Fraction D, E 및 F는 pH 5에서보다 pH 9에서 더높은 활성을 나타냈다. 13,000~80,000g pellet의 분획에서 보면, Fraction A, C는 pH 9보다 pH 5에서, Fraction B, D, E 및 F는 pH 5보다 pH 9에서 더 높은 활성을 가겠다. pH 5와 pH 9에서 membrane-bound ATPases의 기질포화 농도는 3~5 mM이며 ATP에 대한 Km 값은 모두 0.25 mM이였다. Vmax 값은 8.0~55.6 $\mu$M Pi/mg membrane protein/hr의 범위에 있었다. Membrane-bound ATPase의 활성은 $K^+$ 이온에 의해 증가되었다.

Objectives In this study, we investigated the biodegradation features of 4 perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) alternatives developed at Changwon National University compared to those of PFOS. Methods Biodegradation testing was performed with microorganisms cultured in the good laboratory practice laboratory of the Korea Environment Corporation for 28 days following the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines for the testing of chemicals (Test No. 301 C). Results While $C_8F_{17}SO_3Na$, PFOS sodium salt was not degraded after 28 days, the 4 alternatives were biodegraded at the rates of 20.9% for $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$, 8.4% for $C_{17}F_9H_{25}S_2O_8Na_2$, 22.6% for $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and 23.6% for $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}O_{13}S_3Na_3$. Conclusions $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}S_3O_{13}Na_3$, $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$ were superior to PFOS in terms of biodegradation rates and surface tension, and thus they were considered highly applicable as PFOS alternatives. Environmental toxicity, human toxicity, and economic feasibility of these compounds should be investigated prior to their commercialization.

Dinuclear Ni(II)-thiophene halides, which contain linear bridging thienylenes, trans,trans-[$(PR_3)_2$(X)Ni-Y-Ni(X)$(PR_3)_2$] {X = Cl, Br; $H_2Y$ = 5,5'-dichloro-2,2'-bithiophene ($H_2bth$); $H_2tth$ = 5,5"-dichloro-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene ($H_2tth$)} were prepared by the oxidative addition of dihalobithiophene ($H_2bth$) or dihaloterthiophene ($H_2tth$) to [$Ni(COD)_2$] in the presence of tertiary phosphines. Subsequent reactions of $NaN_3$ with the dinuclear Ni(II)-thiophene chlorides gave the corresponding Ni(II)-azido complexes, trans,trans-[$(PR_3)_2(N_3)$Ni-Y-Ni$(N_3)(PR_3)_2$], whose reactivity toward trimethylsilyl pseudohalides such as trimethylsilyl isothiocyanates and cyanides was investigated. In addition, the reaction of trans-[$BrNi(PEt_3)_2-C_4H_2S-C_4H_2S$-CHO], a thienyl Ni(II) complex containing a terminal aldehyde group, with phosphonium ylide was examined.

25%(v/v) dioxane 수용액의 넓은 pH범위에서 살충성 $O,O-Diethyl-{\alpha}-cyanobenzylideneamino-oxyphosphorothioate(Volaton^{\circledR})$의 가수분해 반응은 용매효과 (pH 6.0; m=0.21, n=1.55, pH 12.0; m=0.42, n=3.14 및 $|m|{\ll}|l|$), 반응 속도식, 일반염기 촉매효과, 가수분해 반응생성물 분석 및 분자 궤도(MO) 함수 계산 등의 결과로부터 trigonal bipyramidal$(sp^3d^2)$중간체를 경유하여 pH 7.0 이하에서는 $A_{AC}2$형 반응, 그리고 pH 9.0 이상에서는 $B_{AC}2$형 반응이 일어난다. Volaton의 가수분해 반응성은 입체 장애보다는 양하전 크기$(p{\gg}{\alpha}C_2)$에 의존적이며 $pH\;7.0{\sim}9.0$ 사이에서는 이들 두 반응이 경쟁적으로 일어나는 반응 메카니즘을 제안하였다.

Swine influenza is an acute respiratory disease prevalent in pig-growing areas all around the world and plays the roles of an intermediate host to be transmitted to mammals including human beings through a genetic recombination with the avian influenza virus. Recognizing that people could be contracted with swine influenza, this study set out to investigate the seroprevalence of individual and multiple infections with two subtypes (H1N1 and H3N2) of the swine influenza virus in pig farms in the Gyeongnam region according to age, area, and season, as well as to provide basic data for the prevention and control of swine influenza. Used in the study were total 904 swine sera that were not vaccinated against the influenza gathered from the pig farms in the Gyeongnam region from November, 2009 to October, 2010. HerdChek SIV (H1N1, H3N2) ELISA kit (IDEXX Laboratories, USA) was used for antibody testing against swine influenza. The test results show that 370 sera (40.9%) were infected with either H1N1 or H3N2 with 37.3% (337 sera) being contracted with H1N1, 13.1% (118 sera) with H3N2, and 9.4% (85) with both H1N1 and H3N2.
