Facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) is a chromatin-specific elongation factor required for transcription of chromatin templates in vivo and in vitro. FACT consists of human homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Spt16/Cdc68 protein (hSpt16) and the high mobility group-1-like protein structure-specific recognition protein-1 (SSRP-1). Here we show that the protein level of hSpt16 is massively down-regulated in quiescent T98C cells using both immunofluorescence and western blot analysis. In contrast, we observe high level of the hspt16 expression in the proliferative T98G cells. Interestingly, the expression of SSRP-1 is not altered in both quiescent and proliferative states. Taken together, our findings implicate that the expression of hSpt16 is associated with the proliferative state and can be used as a proliferation marker.

We fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based a fluorinated copper phthalocyanine ($F_{16}CuPc$) as an active layer. And we observed the surface morphology of the $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film. The $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film thickness was 40nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3mm. We observed the typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) in $F_{16}CuPc$ FET and we calculated the effective mobility.

Ultra high-quality and ultra high-resolution omnidirectional 360-degree video streaming is needed to provide immersive media through head-mounted display(HMD) in virtual reality environment, which requires high bandwidth and computational complexity. One of the approaches avoiding these problems is to apply viewport-dependent selective streaming using tile-based segmentation method. This paper presents a performance analysis of viewport-dependent tiled streaming on 16K ultra high-quality 360-degree videos and 4K 360-degree videos which are widely used. Experimental results showed 42.47% of bjotegaard delta rate(BD-rate) saving on 16K ultra high-quality 360-degree video tiled streaming compared to viewport-independent streaming while 4K 360-degree video showed 26.41% of BD-rate saving. Therefore, this paper verified that tiled streaming is more efficient on ultra-high quality video.

Thermoelectric properties of $Sr_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ and $Ba_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ clathrates were investigated in the temperature range between 323K and 923K. Both clathrates were fabricated by the arc-melting method. Homogeneous single phases were observed in the annealed clathrates. Electrical resistivities for both clathrates were increased as the temperature increased up to 823K. The sign of the Seebeck coefficients for both clathrates was negative, which means that the major carriers were electrons. The maximum values of ZT for $Sr_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ and $Ba_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ were 0.86 at 773K and 0.76 at 923K, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 16 weeks of resistance training on the fatigue factor, muscle soreness, oxidative stress, and myokine in elite weightlifters. A total of 10 subjects (six male, four female) participated in this study. The results were compared according to baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks. Ammonia and Pi were increased through 16 weeks of resistance training, but this result was not significant. CK was significantly (p<0.05) increased at 8 weeks and 16 weeks compared to baseline, while LDH was significantly (p<0.05) increased at 8 weeks compared to baseline. The MDA of the oxidative stress factor was significantly (p<0.05) increased at 8 weeks compared to baseline and 16 weeks, and TAS of the antioxidant factor was significantly (p<0.05) increased at 8 weeks compared to baseline. The IL-15 of the myokine was significantly (p<0.05) increased at baseline compared to 8 weeks and 16 weeks. In conclusion, 16 weeks of high-intensity resistance training may have a positive effect on peripheral fatigue factors, muscle soreness, oxidative stress, and myokine in elite weightlifters.

Cyclin E1 (CCNE1), a positive regulator of the cell cycle, controls the transition of cells from G1 to S phase. In numerous human tumors, however, CCNE1 expression is frequently dysregulated, while the mechanism leading to its dysregulation remains incompletely defined. Herein, we showed that CCNE1 expression was subject to post-transcriptional regulation by a microRNA miR-16-1. This was evident at protein level of CCNE1 as well as its mRNA level. Further evident by dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that two evolutionary conserved binding sites on 3' UTR of CCNE1 were the direct functional target sites. Moreover, we showed that miR-16-1 induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest by targeting CCNE1 and siRNA against CCNE1 partially phenocopied miR-16-1-induced cell cycle phenotype whereas substantially rescued anti-miR-16-1- induced phenotype. Together, all these results demonstrate that miR-16-1 plays a vital role in modulating cellular process in human cancers and indicate the therapeutic potential of miR-16-1 in cancer therapy.

The promoter of the HSV-1 VP16 gene contains binding sites for the cellular transcription factors such as USF, CTF, and Sp1, each of which affects basal level expression of the VP16 gene. Transcription of the VP16 gene was induced by viral immediate-early proteins, ICP0 and ICP4, in a synergistic manner but repressed by ICP22. To gain further insight into the role of ICP0 in the expression of the VP16 gene during virus infection, several mutants with deletions in each of their transcriptional regulatory elements were generated. According to transient gene expression assays of these mutants using the CAT gene as a reporter, the USF and CTF binding sites were necessary for efficient induction of the promoter in the presence of transfected ICP0 or during virus infection, whereas the Sp1 binding site had little effect on ICP0-mediated VP16 expression. These results indicate that the immediate early proteins of HSV-1 regulate expression of the VP16 gene during virus infection by modulating the activities of cellular transcription factors such as USF and CTF.

Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), which primarily causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), is associated with complications, such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, myocarditis, pericarditis, and shock. However, no case of pancreatitis associated with CA16 has been reported in children. We report a case of CA16-associated acute pancreatitis in a 3-year-old girl with HFMD. She was admitted because of poor oral intake and high fever for 1 day. Maculopapular rashes on both hands and feet and multiple vesicles on the soft palate were observed on physical examination. She was treated conservatively with intravenous fluids. On the fourth hospital day, she had severe abdominal pain and vomiting. The serum levels of amylase and lipase were remarkably elevated (amylase, 1,902 IU/L; reference range, 28-100 IU/L; lipase, >1,500 IU/L; reference range, 13-60 IU/L), and ultrasonography showed diffuse swelling of the pancreas with a small amount of ascites. The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction result from a stool sample was positive for CA16. CA16 can cause acute pancreatitis, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children with HFMD.

In this paper, we study the LEA[1] block cipher system in UICC-16bit only. Also, we explain a key-schedule function and encryption/decryption structures, propose an advanced modified key-scheduling, and perform LEA in UICC-16bit that we proposed advanced modified key-scheduling. Also, we compare LEA with ARIA that proposed domestic standard block cipher, and we evaluate the efficiency on the LEA algorithm.

In this paper, we analyzed the error rate Performance of Convolution coded 16 QAM signal with Optimum Threshold Detection in Rician Fading Enviroments. The performance of 16-QAM signal with CTD (conventional threshold detection) which employs convolution coding technique was analyzed and the performance improvement of convolution coded 16-QAM signal with OTD (optimum threshold detection) which is varied according to fading parameter 'K' and AWGN in Rician Fading channel was simulated. As a result of analysis, it was shown the effect of performance improvement to overcome the environment of mobile radio data communication channel.
