This study is based on a series of numerical modeling experiments to understand the tidal circulation in the Kangjin Bay (KB). The tidal circulation in the KB is mostly controlled by the inflow from two channels, Noryang and Daebang which introduce the open ocean water into the northern part of the KB with relatively strong tidal current, while in the southern part of the KB, shallowest region of the entire study area, weak tidal current prevails. The model prediction of the sea level agrees with observed records at skill scores exceeding 90 % in terms of the four major tidal constituents (M2, S2, K1, O1). However, the skill scores for the tidal current show relatively lower values of 87, 99, 59, 23 for the semi-major axes of the constituents, respectively. The tidal ellipse parameters in the KB are such that the semi-major axes of the ellipse for M2 range from 1.7 to 38.5 cm/s and those for S2 range from 0.5 to 14.4 cm/s. The orientations of the major-axes show parallel with the local isobath. The eccentricity values at various grid points of ellipses for M2 and S2 are very low with 0.2 and 0.06 on the average, respectively illustrating that the tidal current in the KB is strongly rectilinear. The magnitude of the tidal residual current speed in the KB is on the order of a few cm/s and its distribution pattern is very complex. One of the most prominent features is found to be the counter-clockwise eddy recirculation cell at the mouth of the Daebang Channel.

Cannabigerol (1, CBG), methyl 4-[(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octad ienyl)oxy]-3-methoxybenzoate (2, DTM), 5-fluorouracil (3, FU) as a reference, and cannabidiol (4, CBD) were tested for their growth inhibitory effects against KB(ATCC NO, OCL 17) cell lines using two different assays, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay and the sulforhod-amine B protein (SRB) assay. These compounds showed inhibitory activity in vitro in the micromolar range against KB cell lines. In general, the antitumor activities of these compounds (1, 2, 3 and 4) were dose-dependent over the micromolar concentration range of 1 to 100 M. The comparison of $IC_{50}$ values of these compounds in tumor cell lines showed that their susceptibility to these compounds decreases in the following order: DTM > CBD > 5-FU > CBG by MTT assay and DTM = CBD > 5-FU > CBG by SRB assay. CBG 1, DTM 2, 5-FU 3, and CBD 4 were tested for their cytotoxic effects on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts using two different assays, the MTT assay and SRB assay. These compounds exhibited potent cytotoxic activities in vitro in the micromolar range against NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. In general, the cytotoxic acivities of these compounds (1, 2, 3 and 4) were dose-dependent over the micromolar concentraion range of 1 to 100 M. The comparison of $CD_{50}$ values of these compounds in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts shows that their susceptibility to these compounds in decreases the following order(:) CBD > 5-FU > DTM > CBG by MTT assay, CBD > 5-FU > CBG > DTM by SRB assay. These results suggest that DTM 2 has the most growth-inhibitory activity against KB cell lines.

골격근 세포는 미분화 단핵 근원세포로부터 신장과 융합을 거쳐 다핵 횡문근섬유로 분화되어 가며 동시에 근특이 유전자의 발현이 선택적으로 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 계배 배양 근원세포의 분화동안 유전자 발현 조절 양상에 대한 연구를 위해, 계배 근원세포를 72시간 배양한 근섬유로부터 CDNA 라이브러리를 제작하였다. 이 cDNA 라이브러리를 미분화 단핵 근원세포(배양 36시간)와 분화된 다핵 근섬유(배양 72시간)의 poly(A)+ RNA 주형에서 합성된 [32P〕cDNA를 Probe로 사용한 differential plaque hybridization 방법으로 스크리닝하였다 분화된 다핵 근섬유 CDNA probe에 강한게 흔성화되는 CDNA clone을 선별하여 클로닝하였다. 선별한 CDNA clone 들 중 하나는 약 1.3 Kb 크기의 삽입절편을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이 CDNA를 probe로 사용하여 northern blotting 한 결과, 이 CDNA엑 대한 유전자는 미분화 단핵 근원세포에서 분화된 다핵 근섬유로 분화가 진행됨에 따라 유전자 산물인 RNA 양이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다 또한 이 1.3 Kb CDNA에 대한 RNA의 크기는 약 2 7 Kb로 확인되었다.

Gene for lactose catabolism in Lactobacillus casei SW-M1 was encoded by a 60Kb metabolic plasmid. A derivative of only 10kb, pPlac 15 of recombinant plasmid, was constructed by introducing into pBR322 and was cloned into E. coli using restriction endonuclease Pst I. A 10kb insery DNA in plasmid pBR322 was identified as a gene encoded phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase by the determination of enzyme activity. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase was apparently expressed in E. coli. The enzyme activities of cell-free extract from transformant E. coli HB101 carrying pPLac 15 DNA were not different from that of L. casei as a donor strain on the basis of enzyme properites. However, specific activity of phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase in the cloned strain with Lac $Y^{-}$ phenotype of E. coli HB101 was lower than that in L. casei strain.

This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial and anticancer effects of Galla Rhois (GR) on pathogens isolated from oral and KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells. Their antimicrobial activities were tested against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes), Escherichia coli (E. coil) and Candida albicans (C. albicans). GR powder has the antimicrobial activity against C. albicans, S. mutans and S. aureus. The extracts of water and ethanol have the antimicrobial activity against S. sureus and C. albicans. The water extract showed inhibitory activity against the growth and pH of above mentioned reference microorganisms. The water extract of GR declined cell viability in a dose dependent manner. DNA flow cytometric analysis showed that population of sub-G/sub 0//G₁, phase of cell cycle was increased by GR extract treatment in a dose dependent manner. Western blot analysis revealed that Caspase-3 was reduced by GR extract treatment. These result suggested that GR has the effect of antimicrobial on pathogens isolated from oral, and also, has anticancer effect that associated with the induction of apoptosis in a dose dependent manner in KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells. It may be GR-induced apoptosis was mediated via activation of Caspase-3.

2-Arylchromones, also known as flavones, are among the most ubiquitous classes of natural products occurring in the plant kingdom. On the other hand, 2-styrylchromones are relatively scarce in nature and only a few compounds has been isolated from the blue-green algae species. Therefore, new 2-arylethenylchromone derivatives ( 4a∼n, 5a∼f) were synthesized by the aldol condensation of 2-methylchromone ( 3) with several aromatic aldehydes in order to evaluate their cytotoxicities using a MTT assay on three tumor cells. 2-Arylethenylchromone derivative 4a showed the significant cytotoxic activities on KB, HL-60 and P-388 cell lines with $IC_{50}$/ values of 25.2, 63.59 and 49.51 $\mu$M, respectively, indicating that 2-arylethenylchromone skeleton has a potential anti-tumor application.

Most biocontrol agents for plant diseases have been isolated from sources such as soils and plants. As an alternative source, we examined the feces of tertiary larvae of the herbivorous rhino beetle, Allomyrina dichotoma for presence of biocontrol-active microbes. The initial screen was performed to detect antifungal activity against two common fungal plant pathogens. The strain with strongest antifungal activity was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KB3. The inhibitory activity of this strain correlated with lipopeptide productions, including iturin A and surfactin. Production of these surfactants in the KB3 isolate varied with the culture phase and growth medium used. In planta biocontrol activities of cell-free culture filtrates of KB3 were similar to those of the commercial biocontrol agent, B. subtilis QST-713. These results support the presence of microbes with the potential to inhibit fungal growth, such as plant pathogens, in diverse ecological niches.
