Currently, the genetic modification of Aspergillus oryzae is mainly dependent on protoplast-mediated transformation (PMT). In this study, we established a dual selection marker system in an industrial A. oryzae 3.042 strain by using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT). We first constructed a uridine/uracil auxotrophic A. oryzae 3.042 strain and a pyrithiamine (PT)-resistance binary vector. Then, we established the ATMT system by using uridine/uracil auxotrophy and PT-resistance genes as selection markers. Finally, a dual selection marker ATMT system was developed. This study demonstrates a useful dual selection marker transformation system for genetic manipulations of A. oryzae 3.042.

결핵(TB)은 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) 복합체의 구성원에 의한 세균 감염 질병이다. 결핵은 전 세계 인구의 1/3이 감염된 것으로 알려져 있으며, 한국에서는 매년 약 4만 명의 새로운 결핵환자가 발생한다. 또한, 비결핵 항상균 감염이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 전통적인 결핵 및 비결핵 항상균 진단방법은 세균 배양으로 3~4주 이상이 소요된다. 따라서, 신속하고 정확한 결핵균(TB) 및 비결핵 항상균(NTM) 진단법의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 결핵균 및 비결핵 항상균을 구분하기 위하여, 전 세계적으로 다양한 진단 방법이 개발되고 있다. 특히, 결핵균과 비결핵 항상균을 신속하고 정확한 동정의 요구가 증가함에 따라, 정확하고 신속하게 진단하기 위한 체외 진단 방법이 개발 되고 있다. 그러나 현재 결핵과 비결핵 항상균에 대한 체외 진단 시약의 성능 평가는 부족한 실정이다. 최근 식약청은 결핵균 및 비결핵 항상균 체외 진단 시약에 대한 가이드 라인을 발표했다. 본 연구에서는, 미국 FDA에 승인을 받은 결핵균 및 비결핵 항산균에 대한 체외 진단 시약의 성능을 검토하였다. 이 검토는 결핵균 및 비결핵 항상균 체외 진단 시약 평가에 유용한 참고 자료가 될것으로 사료된다.

In vitro diagnostic veterinary medical reagents (IVDVMRs) were diverted the medical devices from medicine by the revision of the pharmaceutical affairs act enforcement regulations in 2015 in Korea. It classified into class I-IV according to risks of individual and public health. However, good manufacturing practices requirements on IVDVMRs were exempted from the current system. The registration of IVDVMRs by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has gradually increased since 2012, and total of 584 products from 68 companies were registered from 1978 to 2017. Most of these items are clinical immunochemistry (infection disease), clinical immunochemistry (non-infection disease), molecular genetics, endocrinology, blood gas analysis, clinical microbiology, toxin, heavy metal and drug of abuse, other etc. The market size of IVDVMRs reported from the Korea Animal Health Products Association was estimated to be approximately 51.9 billion won in 2017. The domestic consumption and the export sales were approximately 31.2 and 20.7 billion won, respectively. They are increasing 23.9% (CAGR) in domestic consumption and 40.4% (CAGR) in export from 2011 to 2017.

For the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVM), we developed a new liquid embolic material and named it Embol. The material was pre-tested in an in vitro AVM model and tested in rete mirabile of pigs that is similar in structure with the AVM in human. We report on the construction of the in vitro AVM model, the pre-test results of Embol in the AVM model, and the animal test result in pig rete mirabile.

뎅기열 발병은 전 세계 인구의 약 1/3이 거주하고 있는 열대, 아열대 기후에 집중되며, 우리나라도 아열대 기후로 바꾸고 있어 뎅기열 발병에 취약해지고 있다. 뎅기열은 감염병 관리 차원에서 진단 이력 관리가 중요하다. 감염병 이력에 따라서 지역별, 연령별, 남녀비율 등에 따라서 개개인의 치료 방법과 전략을 수립할 수 있는 체계가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 뎅기열 관제시스템을 제안하며, 이러한 시스템은 뎅기열의 발병에 대한 체외진단기기를 이용한 실시간 집계방식으로 발병률과 사망률을 감소시킬 수 있는 전략을 수립하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 뎅기열 관리를 위한 관제시스템 구성으로 형광면역진단 키트를 이용한 뎅기열 체외진단기기와 실시간 뎅기열 관제시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문으로 개발된 뎅기열 관제시스템은 향후 정부의 감염병 통합정보와 결합되어 다양한 감염병 관리 및 정책 활용을 위해서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The in vitro antibody discovery technologies revolutionized the generation of target-specific antibodies that traditionally relied on the humoral response of immunized animals. An antibody library, a large collection of diverse, pre-constructed antibodies, can be rapidly screened using in vitro display technologies such as phage display. One of the keys to successful in vitro antibody discovery is the quality of the library diversity. Antibody diversity can be obtained either from natural B-cell sources or by the synthetic methods that combinatorially generate random nucleotide sequences. While the functionality of a natural antibody library depends largely upon the library size, various other factors can affect the quality of a synthetic antibody library, making the design and construction of synthetic antibody libraries complicated and challenging. In this review, we present various library designs and diversification methods for synthetic antibody library. From simple degenerate oligonucleotide synthesis to trinucleotide synthesis to physicochemically optimized library design, the synthetic approach is evolving beyond the simple emulation of natural antibodies, into a highly sophisticated method that is capable of producing high quality antibodies suitable for therapeutic, diagnostic, and other demanding applications.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has been challenging the healthcare service, i.e., the vitalization of the point of care accompanying self-testing in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs). This study aims to suggest priority criteria to classify self-testing IVDs using the analytic hierarchy process technique. Methods: Two dimensions of the characteristics embedded in the IVDs and the diseases to be diagnosed with self-testing IVDs were parallelly considered and independently investigated. In addition, three expert panels consisting of laboratory medical doctors (n=11), clinicians (n=10), and citizens (n=11) who have an interest in the selection of self-testing IVDs were asked to answer to questionnaires. Priorities were derived and compared among each expert panel. Results: First of all, ease of specimen collection (0.241), urgency of the situation (0.224), and simplicity of device operation (0.214) were found to be the most important criteria in light of the functional characteristics of self-testing IVDs. Medical doctors valued the ease of specimen collection, but the citizen's panel valued self-management of the disease more. Second, considering the characteristics of the diseases, the priority criteria were shown in the order of prevalence of diseases (0.421), fatality of disease (0.378), and disease with stigma (0.201). Third, medical doctors responded that self-testing IVDs were more than twice as suitable for non-communicable diseases as compared to communicable diseases (0.688 vs. 0.312), but the citizen's group responded that self-testing IVDs were slightly more suitable for infectious diseases (0.511 vs. 0.489). Conclusion: Our findings suggested that self-testing IVDs could be primarily classified as the items for diagnosis of non-communicable diseases for the purpose of self-management with easy specimen collection and simple operation of devices, taking into account the urgency of the situation as well as prevalence and fatality of the disease.

Yeast strains were isolated from healthy women(36 isolates), infertile women(15 isolates) and women suffering from local morbidity(82 isolates). On the basis of 37 different physiological and morphological characteristics, the isolated 133 yeast strains were assigned to 10 species belonging to 5 genera. Four pathogenic species were identified. They were Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis and Trichosporon beigelii. Candida albicans was the dominant species, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae prevailed among the saprophytic species. The percentage occurrence as well as the pattern of yeast species differed in the diagnostic groups. It was higher in the women suffering from local morbidity than in the healthy and infertile women. Moreover, a wider spectrum of species was isolated from this group. Women with intrauterine contraceptive devices showed the highest percentage of yeast occurrence which reached 50% of those tested. Five different antifungal agents were tested fro their effects on the growth of the isolated yeast species in vitro. Nystatin was the most effective against the isolated yeast species, followed by pyrithion zink and ciclopiroxolamine, whereas micronazole and clotrimazole, showed a lesser effect.
