BACKGROUND: The use of green manure and compost as organic fertilizer may increase crop yield and soil fertility due to improved soil nutrient availability and soil organic matter content (SOM). This study aimed to investigate the effects of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.) and compost application on red pepper growth, yield, fruit quality and soil health. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatments were no fertilizer (CON), chemical fertilizer (CF), hairy vetch (HV), and livestock compost+HV (LC+HV). Red pepper seedlings (70 days old) were transplanted and maintained in experimental plots for 140 days. Plant dry weight, micro- and macronutrient contents of plants and soil chemical properties were determined. All fertilizer treatments significantly increased plant dry weight. Fruit yield was significantly highest with HV treatment. As for nutrient content, plants in HV and LC+HV treatments have significantly higher K and Ca contents than the other treatments. Regarding soil properties, HV and LC+HV application significantly altered the soil chemical properties. Significantly higher SOM was observed in HV and LC+HV treated soils. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that short-term application of hairy vetch and compost is an effective alternative to the conventional chemical fertilizer to increase fruit yield red pepper and improve soil health.

Abalone herpes-like virus (AbHV) is a fatal disease of abalones that impose severe economic impacts on the industry of infected regions due to high mortality. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of introducing AbHV into Korea through the importation of live abalones for human consumption by import risk analysis (IRA). Monte Carlo simulation models were developed to provide estimates of the probability that a ton of imported abalone contains at least one AbHV-infected individual, using historical trade data and relevant literatures. A sensitivity analysis with 5,000 iterations was also conducted to determine the extent to which input parameters affect the outcome of the model. Although many uncertainties were present in the data, the results indicated that, if 5,000 tons of abalone were imported from a hypothetical exporting country with low prevalence of AbHV (model 1), there would be at least one AbHV-infected abalones in 4,816 of those tons (96.3%), while there would be at least one AbHV-infected abalones in 100% of those tons imported from country with high prevalence (model 2). Sensitivity analysis indicated that for model 1, prevalence was the strongest influence factor on the predicted number of infections. For model 2, background mortality and washing to reduce the risk of surface contamination during processing were the major contributing factors. Risk management strategies need to be enforced to reduce the risk of AbHV introduction in that at least one infected abalone would remain in a consignment from country even with a low prevalence of AbHV infection. The methodology and the results presented here will contribute to improve the development of AbHV management program, and with more accurate data this IRA model will aid science-based decision-making on mitigation strategies to reduce the risk of AbHV introduction in Korea.

본 논문에서는 고주파 열처리된 SAE1055 베어링강의 경도에 따른 피로 거동 및 이의 확률론적 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 경도 수준에 따른 5 종류의 시험편(A : 원재료, B : HV390-전경화, C : HV510-전경화, D : HV700-전경화 및 E : HV-700 표면경화)를 준비하였다. 피로시험은 4 점 회전굽힘 피로시험기를 이용하여 응력비 R=-1 의 조건하에서 수행하였다. 그 결과, SAE1055 강의 피로 거동은 경도에 따라 크게 변화하였으나 HV510 수준이상에서는 피로한도의 증가는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 피로 파손기구에 대한 경도의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 SEM(scanning electron microscope)을 이용한 파면 관찰을 수행하였다. 피로수명의 통계적 특성은 P-S-N(probabilistic S-N) 곡선을 이용하여 평가되었으며 이에 대한 경도의 영향은 잔류치 해석(residue analysis)을 통하여 수행하였다.

Pseudomonas sp. HJ-2는 heptanoinc acid를 단일탄소원으로 이용하여 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB),3-hydroxy-velerate (3HV) 및 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HHp)를 구성 단위체로 하는 고무탄성 polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)를 생합성한다. 이 미생물 고분자는 poly(3HB-co-3HV)공중합체와 poly(3HHp) 단일중합체로 이루어진 혼합물임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 PHA가 고무탄성체로서의 성질을 유지하는데 필용한 단위체 조성과 HJ-2의 배양조건이 PHA의 생산 및 단위체 조성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 생합성된 PHA의 탄성률은 poly(3HHp)의 존재로 크게 감소되었으나, 3HV의 함량이 높은 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 자체도 최대변형률 740%로서 고무탄성체로서의 성질을 보였다. HJ-2의 생장 및 PHA 생합성은 탄소원인 heptanoic acid의 초기농도가 40mMdlfEo 가장 높았으나, 50mM의 농도에서는 큰 저해를 받았다. PHA 생합성은 질소와 인이 결핍된 조건에서 크게 증가되었다. 배양액의 pH 및 통기는 HJ-2로부터 생합성되는 PHA의 단위체 조성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. pH 7.5에서 생합성되는 고분자는 poly(3HB-co-38% 3HV)인 반면에 pH8.0에서의 고분자는 3HHp가 95%를 차지하였다. 발효조의 교반속도를 달리한 실험의 결과 고분자 내 3HHp의 함량은 산소전달 속도가 높아질수록 증가하였다.

Alcaligenes sp. SH-69에서 탄소원의 고갈 또는 새로운 탄소원의 첨가시 포도당을 단일탄소원으로 하여 생합성된 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [poly(3HB-co-3HV)] 공중합체의 물질대사 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 회분배양 과정 중 탄소원이 고갈된 후에는 세포 내에 축척되었던 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 분해가 일어나 고분자 함량의 감소와 함께 무게평균 분자량도 감소하였다. 분해 과정 중에는 저분자량의 PHA에 비하여 상대적으로 고분자량의 PHA양이 크게 감소하여 평균 분자량 분포가 보다 낮은 방향으로 이동되는 양상을 보였다. 이에 반하여 1차 탄소원(기질)으로 사용된 포도당의 고갈 직후 2차 기질로서 포도당과 함께 3HV의 전구물질인 levulinic acid를 혼합기질로 첨가해 주었을 경우, 세포 건체량의 지속적인 증가와 아울러 3HV 함량이 높은 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 합성이 이루어졌다. 그러나 아세톤을 이용한 고분자의 분획 실험 결과, 2차 기질로부터의 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 생합성과 1차 기질로부터 생합성된 공중합체의 분해가 동시에 일어나며, 또한 각 기질로부터 생합성된 고분자가 단지 3HV의 함량이 다른 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체임에도 불구하고 혼합물 형태로 존재하고 있음을 확인하였다.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3HB-co-3HV), copolyesters, with 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) contents ranging from 17 to 60 mol%, were produced by Alcaligenes sp. MT-16, and their biocompatibility evaluated by the growth of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the adsorption of blood proteins and platelets onto their film surfaces. The number of CHO cells that adhered to and grew on these films was higher with increasing 3HV content. In contrast, the tendency for blood proteins and platelets to adhere to the copolyester surfaces significantly decreased with increasing 3HV content. Examination of the surface morphology using atomic force microscopy revealed that the surface roughness was an important factor in determining the biocompatibility of theses copolyesters. The results obtained in this study suggest that poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolyesters, with >30 mol% 3HV, may be useful in biocompatible biomedical applications.

For the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(P(3HB-co-3HV)) from butyric acid and valeric acid, 10 strains of bacteria capable of producing P(3HB-co-3HV) were isolated from soil. Among them, the strain HJ-067 showed the best ability of producing P(3HB-co-3HV), and was indentified as a Azotobacter sp. For the production of P(3HB-co-3HV), the optimum concentrations of butyric and valeric acid were 3.0g/l, respectively. The most effective nitrogen source was $(NH_4)_{2}SO_4$ at an optimum concentration of 0.75g/l, which was equivalent to 21.36 in C/N ratio. Deficiency of the cationic metal ions ($Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$) in the proguction medium had stimulating effect on P(3HB-co-3HV) accumulation, especially in the manganese. deficient medium. The optimum temperature for P(3HB-co-3HV) production was 27$^{\circ}C$ and the optimum initial pH was 7.0. Under the optimum conditions, 1.82g/l of P(3HB-co-3HV) and 3.00g/l of dry biomass were produced after 36 hour cultivation, and the P(3HB-co-3HV) yield and HV% were 60.60% (w/w), 15.92%, respectively.

Background: An inactivated Hantaan virus vaccine (iHV) has been broadly used as a preventive strategy for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) by the South Korean Army. After the vaccination program was initiated, the overall incidence of HFRS cases was reduced in the military population. While there are about 400 HFRS cases annually, few studies have demonstrated the efficacy of the iHV in field settings. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the iHV efficacy on HFRS severity. Methods: From 2009 to 2017, HFRS cases were collected in South Korean Army hospitals along with patients' vaccination history. HFRS patients were classified retrospectively into two groups according to vaccination records: no history of iHV vaccination and valid vaccination. Vaccine efficacy on the severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) stage and dialysis events were investigated. Results: The effects of the iHV on renal injury severity in between 18 valid vaccinated and 110 non-vaccinated patients were respectively evaluated. In the valid vaccination group, six of the 18 HFRS patients (33.3%) had stage 3 AKI, compared to 60 of the 110 (54.5%) patients in the non-vaccination group. The iHV efficacy against disease progression ($VE_p$) was 58.1% (95% confidence interval, 31.3% to 88.0%). Conclusion: The iHV efficacy against the progression of HFRS failed to demonstrate statistically significant protection. However, different severity profiles were observed between the iHV and non-vaccination groups. Additional studies with larger populations are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the iHV in patients with HFRS.
