L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is a cell surface molecule to initiate a variety of cellular responses through interacting with other cell adhesion molecules in a homophilic or heterophilic manner. Although its expression was found to be upregulated in some tumor cells, including cholangiocarcinomas, and ovarian cancers, and many studies have investigated the role of L1CAM in these cancers, its role in inflammatory responses has been poorly understood. In this study, we explored the role of L1CAM in macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. L1CAM significantly suppressed the production of nitric oxide (NO), but induced cell proliferation in RAW264.7 cells. L1CAM expression was detectable, but its expression was markedly decreased by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induced by LPS was dramatically suppressed by L1CAM in RAW264.7 cells. L1CAM inhibited the transcriptional activities of NF-${\kappa}B$ and AP-1 while its cytoplasmic domain deletion form, $L1{\Delta}CD$ did not suppressed their activities in RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, L1CAM suppressed nuclear translocation of p65 and p50 as well as c-Jun, c-Fos and p-ATF2 which are transcription factors of NF-${\kappa}B$ and AP-1, respectively. In conclusion, L1CAM suppressed inflammatory responses in macrophages through inhibiting NF-${\kappa}B$ and AP-1 pathways.

The Paprika plant infected with Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) do not produce commercial fruit as causing necrotic spots symptom on the fruit. Ten cultivars of paprika were analyzed to select the resistance cultivars against PMMoV pathotypes, $P_{1.2}$ and $P_{1.2.3}$, using bioassay and genetic markers. $L^1$, $L^3$, and $L^4$ genotypes expressing resistance to the pathotypes existed in those cultivars but $L^2$ genotype did not. $L^4L^4$ in cvs. Easy and Magnifico, $L^4L^3$ in cvs. Scirocco and Orange glory F1, $L^4L^1$ in cv. Special F1, $L^3L^3$ in cvs. Fiesta, Piero and Derby, and $L^3L^1$ in Cupra and Mazzona F1 were identified with SCAR and CAPS markers. The resistant cvs. to the 2 pathotypes were Magnipico, Easy, Scirocco F1, Orange glory and Special F1 and the susceptible cvs. were Fiesta, Piero, Derby, Cupra and Mazzona F1. The susceptible cvs. of the absence of $L^4$ genotype showed systemic infection when inoculated with PMMoV-$P_{1.2.3}$. However, those cvs. despite the presence of $L^3$ genotype showed vein necrosis on the inoculated leaf and hypersensitive necrosis symptom on the upper parts when inoculated with PMMoV-$P_{1.2}$.

Guzmania was propagated through in vitro culture of lateral shoots. When new shoots grown in greenhouse were cut and cultured in vitro, contamination rate was very high at about 80% in the first stage of in vitro culture. Among cytokinin treatments for agar medium, 2.0 mg/L BA was most effective for shoot multiplication, and those with 0.5 mg/L kinetin and 0.5~1.0 mg/L BA were favorable for shoot multiplication. BA was more effective for shoot multiplication than kinetin, and shoot multiplication was more enhanced when 2.0 mg/L BA was combined with 0.1~0.5 mg/L IAA than 2.0 mg/L BA alone. The medium with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L IAA showed the highest rate of shoot multiplication with about 8.7 in shoot number, and those with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.5~1.0 mg/L IAA also resulted in high multiplication of shoots. Shoots were multiplicated more in liquid rotation culture(80 rpm) with the medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L IAA than liquid stagnating and solid cultures. Regenerated shoots formed roots very favorably in the medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L IBA.

This study investigated the optimal conditions of enzymatic reaction for production of isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO) using rice flour. To manufacture IMO, commercial enzymes (Termamyl 2X, Maltogenase L, Promozyme D2, Fungamyl 800L and Transglucosidase L) were used. The sugar composition and amount of IMO were examined by HPLC with charged aerosol detector (HPLC-CAD) in each manufacturing process. Liquefaction reaction was performed according to different Termamyl 2X concentrations (0.025%, 0.05%, 0.075%, 0.1%) and reaction times (1 h, 2 h). As a result, the reducing sugar content was the highest at 138.26 g/L when 0.075% Termamyl 2X was added for 2 hours. In order to optimize simultaneous saccharification and transglucosylation, experiments on enzyme selection, enzyme concentration and enzyme reaction time were conducted. Reaction with 0.0015% Maltogenase L, 0.05-0.1% Promozyme D2 and 0.1% Tansglucosidase L was effective in decreasing glucose content and increasing content of IMO with a high degree of polymerization. A change in sugar content was observed every 6 hours to determine the optimal reaction time, and the highest IMO was produced after 36 hours of reaction (75.36 g/L). The IMO prepared under optimal conditions showed isomaltose, 35.11 g/L; panose, 11.97 g/L; isomaltotriose, 19.95 g/L; isomaltotetraose, 7.46 g/L; isomaltopentaose, 1.05 g/L at 18 brix and the ratio of IMO in the total sugar was 56.37%.

An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Pseudomonas putida C-5, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, was isolated from controlled horticultural soils in Seonnam-myun, Sungju-gun, Kyungpook and Woosung-myun, Gongju-shi, Chungnam to develop biological nematode pesticide. When $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of A. thaumasia Nema-1 culture was treated to Meloidogyne incognita, the nematicidal activity resulted in 55% at 72 hours after treatment. While the nematicidal activity increased to 65% by treating the culture mixture of $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ Nema-1 and P. putida C-5 after 72 hours. Furthermore, the nematicidal activity of the mixture containing cinnamon extract $50mg\;L^{-1}$, each $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of Nema-1 and C-5 culture was elevated to 89% at 72 hours after treatment, comparing to the result showed 17% and 57% of the nematicidal activity, respectively by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate $50mg\;L^{-1}$ and neem oil $2,000mL\;L^{-1}$. These results suggested that the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract were more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.

The polysaccharide C prepared from gum tragacanth powder (U. S. P. grade) by the precipitation method with 85% ethanol was a neutral polysaccharide, $[{\alpha}]^{30}_D-72.2$. The polysaccharide C consisted of L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose in the molar ratio 2:1:17:9 (Table 1, 2, 3, ). The polysaccharide C was methylated with dimethylsulphate and 40% NaOH, and Purdies regent. The hydrolyzate of fully methlated product ($[{\alpha}]^{22}_D-102$ in chloroform, the methoxy content 40.6%) was composed of 2, 3, 5-tri-O-methyl-L-arabofuranose (I), 3,4-di-O-methyl-L-rhamnopyranose (II), 2,3-di-O-methyl-D-xylose (III), 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galactopyranose (IV), 2,4-di-O-methyl-L-arabopyranose (?), 2,4-di-O-methyl-D-galactose(VI), 2-O-methyl-D-arabinose (VII), and L-arabopyranose(VIII) (Table 4, 5, and Fig. 4). The first partial hydrolysis (A) of the polysaccharide C with 0.05N-HCl for 4.5 hours at $80-85^{\circ}C$ released only L-arabinose: the second hydrolysis (B) with 0.1N-HCl for 5 hours at $80-85^{\circ}C$, L-arabinose and D-galactose; and the third hydrolysis (C) with 0.3N-HCl at $90-95^{\circ}C$ in sealed tube, L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose. From the unhydrolyzate A' were found L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-galactose; from B' L-rhamnose, d-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose; and from C' D-xylose and D-galactose respectively (Table 6). The periodate consumption and formic acid production of the polysaccharide C were measured at various time intervals. After 120 hours periodat was consumed by 1.23 mole per $C_5H_8O_4$ and formic acid was produced 0.78 mole per $C_5H_8O_4$ (Table 7). Although a definite chemical structure for this polysaccharide C may not be formulated, experimental data, especially, from methylation, partial hydrolysie and determination of its molar ratio, and periodate analysis showed that the polysaccharide C is a highly branched polysaccharide and would be constructed of galactoaraban as a main chain residue and L-arabofuranose, D-galactopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-L-arabofuranose, D-xylopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-L-arabofuranose, and L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-arabofuranose, and D-galactopyranosyl-$(1{\rightarrow}2)$-L-arabopyranosyl-$(1{\rightarrow}1)$-I-arabofuranose as a branch chain or end group (page 21).

GPS provides two services which include SPS(Standard Positioning Service) and PPS(Precise Positioning Service). While SPS users can navigate in more precise due to cancellation of SA(Selective Availability), SPS users has still less precision navigation than PPS users. L1/L2CS integrated receiver can provide more precise navigation to SPS users because the delay of Ionosphere will be cancelled by using two frequencies (L1 and L2). This paper designs an integrated L1/L2CS digital correlator to prepare the L2C signal that will be provided in 2003. Also L2CS transmitter is designed to confirm L2CS correlator.
