The periodontium is a topographically complex organ consisting of epithelial tissue, soft and mineralized tissues. Structures comprising the periodontium include the gingiva, periodontal ligament (PDL) , cementum and the alveolar bone. The molecular mechanism of differentiation in PDL fibroblast cells remain unclear. Amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying nutrition to normal and cancer cells and for cell proliferation. Amino acid transport system L is a major nutrient transport system responsible for the Na+-independent transport of neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids. The system L is divided into two major subgroups, the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) and the L-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2). In this study, the expression pattern of amino acid transport system L was, therefore, investigated in the differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. To determine the expression level of amino acid transport system L participating in intracellular transport of amino acids in the differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells, it was examined by RT-PCR, observation of cell morphology, Alizaline red-S staining and uptake analysis after inducing experimental differentiation in PDL fibroblast cells isolated from mouse molar teeth. The results are as follows. 1. The LAT1 mRNA was expressed in the early stage of PDL fibroblast cell differentiation. This expression level was gradually reduced by differentiation- inducing time and it was not observed after the late stage. 2. The expression level of LAT2 mRNA was increased in time-dependent manner during differentiation induction of PDL fibroblast cells. 3. There was no changes in. the expression level of 4F2hc mRNA, the cofactor of LAT1 and LAT2, during differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. 4. The expression level of ALP mRNA was gradually increased and the expression level of Col I mRNA was decreased during differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells. 5. The L-leucine transport was reduced by time from the early stage to the late stage in PDL fibroblast cell differentiation. As the results, it is considered that among neutral ammo acid transport system L in differentiation of PDL fibroblast cells, the LATl has a key role in cell proliferation in the early stage of cell differentiation and the LAT2 has an important role in the late stage of cell differentiation for providing cells with neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids.

일반적으로 도심지 배수시설로 설치되는 맨홀은 중간맨홀, $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀, 3방향 합류맨홀 및 4방향 합류맨홀 등 다양한 접합 형태를 가지고 있다. 특히 도시유역의 중․하류부에 주로 설치되는 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 과부하흐름은 에너지 손실을 발생시켜 도심지의 침수피해를 가중시키는 주요 원인이다. 그러므로 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 흐름특성 분석 및 손실계수의 산정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현황조사 결과를 고려하여 수리실험 장치를 제작하였으며, 맨홀 및 관경은 하수도 시설기준을 준용하여 1/5로 축소 제작하였다. 선정된 실험조건인 맨홀 형상 조건(사각형, 원형), 유출유량($Q_{out}$)에 대한 측면유입유량($Q_{lat}$)의 비($Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$) 및 실험 유량(2.0, 3.0, 4.0, $4.8{\ell}/sec$)을 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 측면유량비가 증가할수록 손실계수는 증가하였으며, 사각형 맨홀보다 원형 맨홀에서의 손실계수가 다소 낮게 산정되었다. 그러나 유출유량 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화는 미미하였다. 측면유량비에 따른 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀의 손실계수는 0.4~0.8로 산정되었다. 또한, 측면유량비 변화를 고려한 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정식을 제시하였다.

Resazurin 기반 호흡 측정법으로 strobilurin계 살균제에 대해서 감수성인 고추탄저병균 Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. 20JDS8에 대한 살균제의 호흡 억제 효과를 조사하였다. Potato dextrose broth에 병원균의 포자를 접종하고 배양하면서 시간별로 상대 형광값(relative fluorescence unit)을 조사한 결과, 12시간 후부터 상승하기 시작하여 24시간 후의 1×10⁴, 1×10⁵, 1×10⁶ spores/ml의 포자 접종구에서 상대 형광값은 1,965.5, 5,412.5, 10,061.0이었다. 병원균을 0, 6, 12, 24시간씩 배양 후에 공시한 살균제를 처리하고, 24시간 후에 상대 형광값을 조사하였다. Dithianon, isopyrazam, pyraclostrobin, fluazinam을 병원균의 포자(0시간), 포자 발아(6시간), 균사 생장(12시간) 단계에 처리할 경우, 각 살균제의 고농도에서 호흡을 90-100% 억제하였다. 하지만 병원균을 24시간 배양한 후에 살균제를 처리할 경우에는 호흡 억제 효과가 크게 감소하였다. Pyraclostrobin 저항성인 C. acutatum s. lat. 20CDJ6에 대해서 pyraclostrobin, azxoystrobin, trifloxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl을 병원균의 모든 생장 단계에 각각 처리하였을 때, 호흡에 대한 억제 효과는 매우 미미하거나, 나타나지 않았다.

The name Golovinomyces cynoglossi s. lat. is traditionally applied to a complex of morphologically similar powdery mildews on hosts of the plant family Boraginaceae. The current species-level taxonomy within this complex is ambiguous due to the lack of phylogenetic examinations. The present study applied phylogenetic methods to clarify the taxonomy of G. cynoglossi s. lat. Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA ITS sequences retrieved from Asian, European and North American specimens revealed that G. cynoglossi s. lat. collections from different hosts involved several species in five clearly separated lineages. Clade I consists primarily of Golovinomyces cynoglossi s. str. on Cynoglossum. Clade III consists of Golovinomyces sequences retrieved from the host genera Symphytum and Pulmonaria. The taxa within clade III are now assigned to G. asperifoliorum comb. nov. Clade V encompasses G. cynoglossi s. lat. on the host genera Bothriospermum, Buglossoides, Echium, Myosotis, and Trigonotis. The taxa within clade V are now assigned to G. asperifolii comb. nov. The species concerned in this study were lecto- and epitypified to stabilize their nomenclature.

Background: Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is the most common type of temporomandibular disorder. This study compared the efficacies of low-level diode laser therapy (LLLT) and laser acupuncture therapy (LAT) in the treatment of MPDS. Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial included 24 patients with MPDS who were randomly divided into two equally sized groups. Patients in the LLLT group received 12 sessions of low-level diode laser irradiation applied to the trigger points of the masticatory muscles during 1 month. The same protocol was also used in the LAT group according to the specific trigger points. We measured pain intensity and maximum mouth opening in both groups at baseline, during treatment, and 2 months after treatment completion. Results: The pain intensities decreased from 6.58±1.31 to 0.33±0.65 and from 7.08 ± 1.37 to 0 in the LLLT and LAT groups, respectively. The maximum mouth openings increased from 32.25 ± 8.78 mm to 42.58 ± 4.75 mm and from 33 ± 6.57 mm to 45.67 ± 3.86 mm in the LLLT and LAT groups, respectively. Pain intensity (P = 0.839) and level of maximum mouth opening (P = 0.790) did not differ significantly between the groups. Conclusion: Our results showed similar efficacy between LLLT and LAT in the treatment of MPDS signs and symptoms.

Colletotrichum species is known as the major causal pathogen of red pepper anthracnose in Korea and various groups of fungicides are registered for the management of the disease. However, the consistent use of fungicides has resulted in the development of resistance in many red pepper-growing areas of Korea. Effective management of the occurrence of fungicide resistance depends on constant monitoring and early detection. Thus, in this study, various methods such as agar dilution method (ADM), gene sequencing, allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were applied for the detection of benzimidazole resistance among 24 isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides s. lat. The result of the ADM showed that C. gloeosporioides s. lat. was classified into sensitive and resistant isolates to benomyl while C. acutatum s. lat. was insensitive at ≥1 ㎍/ml of benomyl. The sequence analysis of the β-tubulin gene showed the presence of a single nucleotide mutation at the 198th amino acid position of five isolates (16CACY14, 16CAYY19, 15HN5, 15KJ1, and 16CAYY7) of C. gloeosporioides s. lat. Allele-specific PCR and PCR-RFLP were used to detect point mutation at 198th amino acid position and this was done within a day unlike ADM which usually takes more than one week and thus saving time and resources that are essential in the fungicide resistance management in the field. Therefore, the molecular techniques established in this study can warrant early detection of benzimidazole fungicide resistance for the adoption of management strategies that can prevent yield losses among farmers.

Engagement of the immunoreceptors initiates signaling cascades resulting in lymphocyte activation and differentiation to effector cells, which are essential for the elimination of pathogens from the body. For the transduction of these immunoreceptor-mediated signals, several linker proteins termed transmembrane adaptor proteins (TRAPs) were shown to be required. TRAPs serve as platforms for the assembly and membrane targeting of the specific signaling proteins. Among seven TRAPs identified so far, LAT and LIME were shown to act as a positive regulator in TCR-mediated signaling pathways. In this review, we will discuss the functions of LAT and LIME in modulating T cell development, activation and differentiation.

Recent dynamic computations of zonal flow and analysis of oceanographic data of CSK in winter indicate year-to year variations in the location and dynmic structure of the Subtropic Countercurrent in the western North Pacific. In January 1966, the Subtropical Countercurrent migrated southward to 21$^{\circ}$- 22$^{\circ}$N Lat in association with the subsurface Subtropical Convergence. At the area of 25$^{\circ}$- 26$^{\circ}$N Lat, another surface thermal front was formed along which a stronger eastward flow of approximately 0.4kt is seen. On the section of 142$^{\circ}$E Long in January 1967, eastward flow appears at every interval of 2$^{\circ}$latitude in the northern waters of 20$^{\circ}$N Lat.
