The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is an important pathogen in crop cultivation, however, few methods are available to control this parasitic roundworm. In this study, the nematicidal effects of approximately 30 Streptomyces strains isolated from soil samples of Mt. Naejang (Korea) were tested against Meloidogyne incognita, and the culture broth of the strains KRA-24 and KRA-28 exhibited approximately 75% and 85% insecticidal activity, respectively, in in vitro assays. In in vivo pot experiments, these strains reduced the number of nematodes in the soil and the number of egg masses in the roots of red peppers. The two strains also survived in the presence of insecticidal agents (0.1 to 3.0%) such as fosthiazate, ethoprophos and terbufos when they were used in parallel. The mixture of KRA-24 or KRA-28 culture broth and fosthiazate exhibited nematicidal effects that were similar to those observed when KRA-24 or KRA-28 were used alone. Our results clearly suggest that the Streptomyces strains KRA-24 and KRA-28 should be promoted as a biocontrol agent against Meloidogyne incognita.

The novel $\alpha$-amylase purified from locally isolated strain, Bacillus sp. KR-8104, (KRA) (Enzyme Microb Technol; 2005; 36: 666-671) is active in a wide range of pH. The enzyme maximum activity is at pH 4.0 and it retains 90% of activity at pH 3.5. The irreversible thermoinactivation patterns of KRA and the enzyme activity are not changed in the presence and absence of $Ca^{2+}$ and EDTA. Therefore, KRA acts as a $Ca^{2+}$-independent enzyme. Based on circular dichroism (CD) data from thermal unfolding of the enzyme recorded at 222 nm, addition of $Ca^{2+}$ and EDTA similar to its irreversible thermoinactivation, does not influence the thermal denaturation of the enzyme and its Tm. The amino acid sequence of KRA was obtained from the nucleotide sequencing of PCR products of encoding gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme revealed a very high sequence homology to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAA) (85% identity, 90% similarity) and Bacillus licheniformis $\alpha$-amylases (BLA) (81% identity, 88% similarity). To elucidate and understand these characteristics of the $\alpha$-amylase, a model of 3D structure of KRA was constructed using the crystal structure of the mutant of BLA as the platform and refined with a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation program. Interestingly enough, there is only one amino acid substitution for KRA in comparison with BLA and BAA in the region involved in the calcium-binding sites. On the other hand, there are many amino acid differences between BLA and KRA at the interface of A and B domains and around the metal triad and active site area. These alterations could have a role in stabilizing the native structure of the loop in the active site cleft and maintenance and stabilization of the putative metal triad-binding site. The amino acid differences at the active site cleft and around the catalytic residues might affect their pKa values and consequently shift its pH profile. In addition, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity of the enzyme at 350 nm does not show considerable change at pH 3.5-7.0.

A 2-year-old, 440 kg, thoroughbred gelding showed a lameness grade of 3 out of 5, as well as swelling and heating on the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ). Periarticular new bones due to the arthritis were observed on performing radiography and ultrasonography. PIPJ arthrodesis was performed under general anesthesia. With the PIPJ open, the articular cartilage was removed by using curette, chisel, and mallet. Arthrodesis was performed with a PIP plate and two additional transarticular cortex screws inserted in lag fashion. A cast was placed over the limb distal from the proximal metatarsal bone. At 6 months after surgery, complete union of the PIPJ was confirmed by radiography, and the incision site was well closed. Based on the outcome, a PIP plate with two additional transarticular cortex screws inserted in lag fashion is recommended as a method for treating osteoarthritis of the PIPJ in horses.

A 5-year-old Thoroughbred race horse was presented to Busan Korea Racing Authority equine hospital with a 3-year history of a slow-growing left rostral maxillary mass. The location and progressive growth of the mass eventually resulted in poor food prehension, quidding and mouth bit placement. The mass was solitary and hard, and covered by normal smooth oral mucosa. Radiographic examination of the maxillae showed a flocculated and mixed radiolucent lesion protruding outward and displacing the 202 and 203 teeth caudally. The 202 tooth was in normal size and the 203 tooth was hypoplastic on radiography. Under general anesthesia, a partial surgical resection of the mass was performed to minimize functional loss and facilitate prompt return to track. After surgery, there was improvement in food intake, mouth bit placement, and cosmetic appearance. Histopathological examination determined the resected maxillay mass to be an ossifying fibroma. However, there was continued growth of remnant mass in the maxilla. Equine ossifying fibroma is a rare condition and primarily affects the rostral mandible, and less commonly, the maxillae. In this case, the lesion was slow-growing, and caused cosmetic and functional impairments, including poor food intake and reduced trainability. Surgical resection was performed, but the effect of treatment was limited due to advanced size / stage of the tumor. Early dental care is suggested for horse owners to prevent belated identification and improve successful treatment of oral disorders like ossifying fibroma.

Recently companies are aggressively Pushing ahead with integrating the systematical applications of internal and external information systems such as Data level, Application level, Process level in the company, Process level between companies. The EAI solution is generally considered as the necessary tool to integrate companies, but the appraisal standard for the EAI solution has not Vet settled in Korea, so the companies have difficulty in deciding whether to adopt the EAI solution or not. Through this report, we first introduce the KRA Project as the best practice in making an application of the settled standard to evaluate and adopt the EAI solution, and then suggest that it can be adapted to companies considering applying to the EAI solution.

뿌리혹선충에 의한 병 발생은 작물수확량의 감소를 초래하여 중요한 문제로 인식되고 있다. 화학농약의 사용은 선충방제를 위해 효과적인 방법 중의 하나로 고려되지만 환경 오염이나 인축에 대한 독성과 같은 문제를 야기하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 살선충제 개발에 사용될 수 있는 미생물을 선발하고자, 토양으로부터 분리한 670여 개의 방선균을 대상으로 뿌리혹선충에 대한 살선충 활성을 조사하였다. 이들 중 가장 우수한 살선충 활성을 나타내는 KRA15-528 균주를 선발하였으며, 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열에 기초하여 S. flavogriseus로 동정하였다. S. flavogriseus KRA15-28 균주 배양여액을 최종농도 10%가 되도록 J2 단계의 유충과 선충알에 각각 처리 시, 48시간 후 71%의 선충 치사율과 9일째에 54%의 선충 알 부화 억제율을 확인하였다. 배양여액을 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올을 이용하여 용매 분획하여 에틸 아세테이트와 부탄올, 물 추출물에 대한 살선충 활성을 조사한 결과, 에틸 아세테이트 추출물로부터만 높은 살선충 활성을 확인하였다. 1,000, 500, $250{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 각각 91%, 53%, 30%의 치사율을 나타내었다. 이외에도, 오이에 대한 뿌리 혹 선충병 방제활성을 조사한 결과, 배양여액 처리구에서 눈에 띄게 뿌리혹형성이 억제되는 현상을 관찰하였다. 따라서, S. flavogriseus KRA15-528은 뿌리혹선충병을 방제에 사용할 수 있는 미생물제제로서의 가능성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A 4-year-old gelding Thoroughbred racehorse, which had been undergoing antibiotic therapy at a local veterinary clinic, was referred to the KRA veterinary center with a 20-day history of continuous right nasal discharge. Patient's history, endoscopic examination, and radiographic examination revealed primary maxillary sinusitis. Under sedation, surgical intervention was performed to collect samples and remove the accumulated mucopurulent exudate in the sinus. Swab samples were collected from the sinus during surgery for cytology and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Only one type of bacteria was cultured, and molecular analyses of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences identified it as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The isolate was resistant to multiple antibiotics, which are frequently used in equine practice. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was chosen based on antibiotic susceptibility test, trephination, and sinus lavage using saline were applied to treat bacterial sinusitis. The clinical signs improved after 1 month and the patient resumed training. This report describes S. aureus isolated from bacterial maxillary sinusitis in a horse and its antibiotic susceptibility.

키 복구 시스템은 1994년 미국 NIST의 키 복구 제품 EES 개발이후 많은 나라에서 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있는 분야이다. 국내에서도 단일 키 복구 시스템부터 다중 키 복구 시스템을 바탕으로 다양한 키 복구 방식들이 제안되고 있다. 하지만 기존 방식은 단일, 다중 기관시스템에 있어서 낮은 안전성의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 키 복구 시스템을 분석하고 다중 키 복구 기관을 기반으로 키를 N개로 나누어서 분산 보관하며, 키 복구 기관의 기능 상실, 결탁 등 문제에도 키 복구가 가능하도록 설계 하였다. 또한 ElGamal 방식을 이용하여 키 위탁, 키 복구, 합법적인 감청 절차를 제안하였다.
