The ptsH and ptsI genes of Lactococus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 7962 (L. lactis 7962), encoding the general proteins of phosphotransferase system (PTS) components, HPr and enzyme I, respectively, were cloned and characterized. A 1.3 kb PCR product was obtained using a primer set that was hybridized to the internal region of the L. lactis 7962 pts HI genes and then subcloned into a low-copy number vector, pACYC184. The 5' upstream and 3' downstream region from the 1.3 kb fragment were subsequently clone using the chromosome walking method. The complete ptsHI operon was constructed and the nucleotide sequences determined. Two ORFs corresponding to HPr (88 amino acids) and enzyme I (575 amino acids) were located. The ptsHI genes of L. lactis 7962 showed a very high homology (84-90%) with those genes from other Gram-positive bacteria. A primer extension analysis showed that the transcription started at either one of two adjacent bases upstream of the start codon. Using a Northern analysis, two transcripts were detected; the first, a 0.3 kb transcript corresponding to ptsH and the second, a 2 kb transcript corresponding to ptsH and ptsI. The transcription level of ptsH was higher than that of ptsI. The concentration of the ptsH transcript in cells grown on glucose was similar to that in cells grown on lactose, yet higher than that in cells grown on galactose. The ptsI transcript was scarcely detected in cell grown on lactose or galactose. The ptsI transcript was scarcely detected in cells grown on lactose or galactose. The results of a sequence analysis and Northern blot confirmed that the ptsH and ptsI genes of L. lactis 7962 were arranged in an operon like other known ptsHI genes and the expression of the ptsHI genes was regulated at the transcriptional level in response to the carbon source.

A first systematic approach on new and simple preparation method of spherical granules in the system using organic granulating solution was carried out. Mixer granulation required narrow range of moisture content but gentle action of tumbling in the mixer and capilary forces were adequate to compact the porous mass and also were highly effective to produce granules close to sphere. Where the granules by massing and screening provided the more open structure, its pore distribution lied between 71 and 16 .mu.m by above 50% and on the contrary, that of the mixer granulated granules showed only below 25%. Increase in retention time in the mixer decreased the intragranular porosity of granules produced, and in comparison with granular particles produced by conventional wet granulation, those from the mixer granulation had the advantages of flow properties, packing characteristics and definite spherocity. They also had extremely low friability resulting in few fines.

Spherical granules of anti-inflammatory enzyme were prepared by mixer granulation and the recovery rate of enzyme activity by processing was compared with tablet ones. In the enteric granule coating .processing, the effect of the amount of coating solution and the conentration of fatty alcohol on disintegration and stabilities on the accelerated conditions were also studied. Being prepared in non-pressure and non-aqueous condition, spherical granules of enzyme made better recovery of enzme activity than tablet ones by 10 times. Combined processing of both mixer granulation and enteric granule film coating provided the noble enteric coated granules, in the sense of disintegration and stabilities, was obtained from using 0.125% fatty alcohol in coating solution.

A DNA fragment, pCKB13, containing two genes encoding Coenzyme a transferase, was isolated from a genomic DNA library of S. marcescens KCTC 2172. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 2,081-bp BamHI fragment on pCKB13 was determined. Sequencing of the fragment led to the identification of two open reading frames showing high homology with two Coenzyme A (CoA) transferases, Acetoacetyl-CoA transferase (Acot) and Succinyl-CoA transferase (Scot), enzymes catalyzing the reversible transfer of CoA from one carboxylic acid to another. The enzyme activity of Coenzyme A transferase increased after introducing the multicopy of the cloned gene in E. coli. The recombinant protein, overexpressed by multicopy and induction with IPTG, was a polypeptide of 42 kDa, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The protein was purified to homogeneity through three sequential chromatographic procedures including ion-exchanged DEAE-sepharose, CM-sepharose, and Mono Q.

Extrusion-Spheronization Processing (ESP) was applied to preparate sustained release spherical particles as a form of matrix spherical particle (MSP). dl-methylephedrine HCI (ME) was the drug chosen and several dissolution retardants and binders were selected to estimate a relatively good formulation on this purpose. The effect of physicochemical nature, concentration, and solvents of these dissolution retardants and binders on regularity in shape of MSP and in vitro release rate was investigated. The effect of Particle size of matrix particles was also evaluated. It is, therefore, concluded that this ESP would be a relatively good preparation method of sustained release MSP of ME which has the sustained action of about 5 and 8 hours by formulating of ethylcellulose and ethylcellulose-paraffin as a dissolution retardant, respectively, and then ethylcellulose solution of 80% EtOH is recommended as a binder.

This study was differentiated between Korea and China arkshells using PCR-aided RFLP method which could identify the variation for inter-and intra-species of arkshell (Scapharca broughtonii Schrenck) at the level of DNA. The DNA fragment patterns were compared after digesting gene of mitochondrial 16S rDNA with 8 kinds of restriction enzymes. A 720 bp DNA fragment corresponding to 16S rDNA gene was amplified by PCR with primers ArkF-3 and ArkR-3. PCR products were cut by restriction enzymes (Pvull, BamHI, Hinfl, HaeIII, EcoRI, RsaI, Ksp221, and BstX21), and RFLP pattern was studied. A unique 275 bp DNA band was observed in the samples from Dukyang, Gamak, Namhae, Jinhae, and Taean in Korea when treated by Hinfl, but Chinese arkshell did not show. Treatment of HaeIII could discriminate the sample of Namhae and Jinhae from Dukyang/Gamak/Taean, as well as Korean and Chinese arkshell based on a 700 bp. However, PuvII, BamHI, EcoRI, RsaI, Ksp221, and BstX21 showed the same of 700 bp band in Korean and Chinese arkshell. The phylogenetic tree inferred from PCR-RFLP pattern comparsion in Korean arkshell was different that the distance between Dukyang/Gamak/Taean and Namhae/Jinhae was approximately 7. In particular, the distance between Korean and Chinese arkshell was 25. Consequently, HinfI and HaeIII played an important role in a reliable molecular tool for rapid discriminating Korean and Chinese arkshell, as well as a intra-species in Korea.

The immune staus is known to be decreased in malignant disease and radiation therapy (RT), used as a therapeutic tool, further decrease this-attenuated immune status. We measured the number of peripheral lymphocytes, its subsets and lymphoblast transformation for PPD, PHA, monoclonal antibodies including anti-CD3 and anti-CD2 before and after RT in 19 patients with squamous cell lung cancer to search the fine mechanism behind the RT-induced attenuation of lymphoblast transformtion for mitogens and antigen. The results were as follows; 1) The number of lymphocytes and its subsets decreased significantly after RT, but the percentages of lymhocyte subsets did not change aftr RT except interleukin-2 receptor positive T lymphocytes. 2) The function of lymphoctes, measured by lymphoblast tranformation for PHA and PPD, decrased after RT and the compositions of PBMC used for lymphoblast transformtion were not different before and after RT. 3) The mitosis of lymphocytes to anti-CD2 or anti-CD3 decreased significantly after RT. And IL-2 plus anti-CD3 increased the mitosis than that of anti-CD3 only after RT, but before RT there was no difference. In conclusion, we suggested the fine mechanism behind the RT-induced attenuation of immune response might be the dysfunction of lymphocytes in terms of impaired synthesis of IL-2 rather than the decrease of circulating lymphocyte numbers.
