This paper describes implemation of 'General-purpose ETRI MAP interface module' (GEM) for Mini-MAP network. GEM operates as a Mini-MAP node in our FA system. To communicate between GEM and programmable devices(PD) such as PLC and CNC, serial communication is used. Application programs of a MiNi-MAP host system control and monitor programmable devices via GEM. GEM is implemented and tested on the basis of the MAP 3.0. TBC in the Nini-MAP board performs the function of the MAC sublayer. The LLC sublayer is implemented according to the specification of Class 3 that includes Type 1 and 3. And the MMS services are designed within the scope of implementation class MAP3. All the softwares are implemented under the real-time multitask OS for real-time application of the Mini-MAP and they are loaded into PROMs at the network board of GEM. We tested the LLC functions to make use of a protocol analyzer for the token-passing protocol. Also the MMS conformance test was carried out by exchanging primitives between GEM and a MMS product that had already passed the conformance test. Therefore GEM is proposed as a network tool of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) to integrate PDs which don't support MAP functions.

A map gene encoding methionyl-specific aminopeptidase (MAP; EC 3.4.11.18) was cloned from Tetragenococcus halophilus CY54. Translated amino acid sequence of CY54 MAP showed high similarities with those from Enterococcus faecalis (83.8%) and Streptococcus salivarius (62.2%) but low similarities with MAPs from Lactobacillus and Lactococcus genera. The map gene was overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) using pET26b(+),pET26b(+), and the recombinant MAP was purified by using an Ni-NTA column. The size of recombinant MAP was 29 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of CY54 MAP were pH 5.0 and 60℃, respectively. The activity of CY54 MAP was most significantly increased by Co²⁺ ion (159%), and showed the highest activity at 12% NaCl. K_m and V_max were 0.64 ± 0.006 mM and 10.12 ± 0.014 U/mg protein, respectively when met-pNA was used as the substrate. This is the first report on a MAP from Tetragenococcus species.

Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL-17), produced by keratinocytes, is a CC chemokine known to selectively Th2 type T cells via $CCR4^+$ and is implicated in the development of atopic dermatitis (AD). TARC/CCL17 expression was induced by cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$). We recently found that the wogonin, a flavone isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, suppressed TARC expression via heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) in human keratinocytes induced with mite antigen. However, little is known about the inhibitory mechanism of wogonin on TARC/CCL-17 expression stimulated with cytokines. To investigate the inhibitory mechanism, I determined the inhibitory effects of wogonin on the activation of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) and $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ phosphorylation, and also examined the activation of p38 MAP kainase in HaCaT keratinocytes stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$ and IFN-${\gamma}$. Wogonin inhibited NF-${\kappa}B$-DNA complex, NF-${\kappa}B$ binding activity, and the phosphorylation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ in a dose dependent manner. Wogonin also inhibited the translocation of NF-${\kappa}B$ from cytosol to nucleus. Moreover, the phosphorylation of of p38 MAP kinase in the TNF-${\alpha}$ and IFN-${\gamma}$-stimulated HaCaT keratinocytes were suppressed by wogonin in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that wogonin may inhibit cytokine-induced NF-${\kappa}B$ activation by $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ degradation via suppression of p38 MAP kinase signaling pathway in keratinocytes and modulation of wogonin signaling pathway may be beneficial for the treatment of AD.

The study of Euclidean submanifolds with finite type "classical" Gauss map was initiated by B.-Y. Chen and P. Piccinni in [11]. On the other hand, it was believed that for spherical sub manifolds the concept of spherical Gauss map is more relevant than the classical one (see [20]). Thus the purpose of this article is to initiate the study of spherical submanifolds with finite type spherical Gauss map. We obtain several fundamental results in this respect. In particular, spherical submanifolds with 1-type spherical Gauss map are classified. From which we conclude that all isoparametric hypersurfaces of $S^{n+1}$ have 1-type spherical Gauss map. Among others, we also prove that Veronese surface and equilateral minimal torus are the only minimal spherical surfaces with 2-type spherical Gauss map.

We introduce a new concept of convex spaces and a multimap class K having certain KKM property. From a basic KKM type theorem for a K-map defined on an convex space without any topology, we deduce ten equivalent formulations of the theorem. As applications of the equivalents, in the frame of convex topological spaces, we obtain Fan-Browder type fixed point theorems, almost fixed point theorems for multimaps, mutual relations between the map classes K and B, variational inequalities, the von Neumann type minimax theorems, and the Nash equilibrium theorems.

목적: 자기공명 영상장치(MRI)의 송신 자기장 정보를 이용한 인체 내 도전율을 측정하는 기술이 최근 제안되었다. 송신 자기장 정보의 노이즈에 따른 도전율의 오차를 측정하고 도전율과 노이즈의 관계를 모델화 하였다. 대상과 방법: 송신 자기장의 분포는 원형 모델에 대해서 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션으로 생성된 송신 자기장의 분포에 가우시안 노이즈를 더해준 후 정량적인 도전율 측정에 어떤 영향을 주는지 공명 주파수, 물체의 크기, 송신 자기장의 신호 대 잡음 비에 대해서 수행하였다. 각 각의 변수에 따른 도전율 대 잡음 비를 측정하여 모델화 하였다. 결과: 시뮬레이션 결과 도전율 측정은 송신 주파수의 크기 오차보다 위상 오차에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것을 보였다. 또한, 송신 자기장의 신호 대 잡음 비, 공명 주파수, 도전율 값, 평균필터의 크기에 따라서 도전율 대 잡음비가 비례하는 경향성을 보였다. 하지만, 물체를 둘러싼 외부 물질의 크기는 도전율 측정에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 위의 시뮬레이션 결과는 3T 임상용 MRI에서 원형 모델 팬텀에 대해서 검증되었다. 결론: 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 변수와 도전율 측정의 오차와의 관계를 통해서 정량적인 도전율 측정에서 발생되는 오차를 모델화 할 수 있었다. 또한 제시된 분석 방법을 통하여 자기공명 영상 장치를 이용한 도전율 측정의 필터링 및 재구성 알고리즘의 효과를 검증 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

RAPD 연관지도를 RFLP 연관지도와 합병을 하는 것은 각각의 유전 marker들의 단점을 서로 보완하여 세밀화된 유전자 지도작성을 용이하게 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 Essex와 PI 437654의 $F_2$ 및 $F_3$ 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 RAPD 연관지도를 콩의 RFLP 연관지도와 합병을 함에 있어서 나타난 몇가지 특징들을 기술하고자 함을 목적으로 하는 바 그 특징들은 아래와 같이 요약된다. 1. RAPD 연관지도상에서의 RFLP probe들의 위치가 RFLP 연관지도상에서의 위치와 부분적으로 변동된 현상이 나타났다. RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-3을 RFLP 연관그룹 a1 및 a2와 합병하는 과정에서 pSAC3와 pA136, 그리고 pA170/EcoRV와 pB170/HindIII이 서로 반대방향으로 위치하였다. pK400은 RFLP 연관지도상에서는 pA96-1과 pB172의 사이에 위치한 반면 RAPD 연관지도상에서는 i locus와 pA85 사이에 위치하였다. 2. RAPD 연관지도상에서의 두 marker들간의 간격이 RFLP 연관지도상에서의 간격보다 멀어진 현상이 두드러지게 나타났다. pA890과 pK493간의 간격은 RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-1에서는 48.6 cM이었던 반면 RFLP 연관 그룹상에서는 단지 13.3 cM으로 나타났다. 또한 pB32-2와 pA670, pA670과 pA668사이의 간격은 RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-2에서는 50.9 cM과 31.7 cM이었던 반면, RFLP 연관지도상에서의 간격은 각각 35.9 cM과 13.5 cM으로 나타났다. 3. 하나의 RFLP probe로부터 두개 이상의 다형화 현상을 나타낸 marker들이 동일한 연관그룹이나 다른 연관그룹에 위치하는 현상이 나타났다. 제한효소 HindIII로 절단된 probe pK418은 세개의 marker를 나타내었는데, 그 중 하나는 L.G.C-20에 위치하였으며, 다른 두개는 L.G.C-4에 위치하였다. 위에 나타난 특징들은 RAPD 연관지도는 intraspecific cross의 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 반면 RFLP 연관지도는 interspecific cross의 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 결과에선 비롯된 차이점 때문인 것으로 추측된다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of ginkgo biloba extract, ginkgolide A and B and aspirin on SK-N-MC, human neuroblastoma cell viability and mRNA expression of growth associated protein43 (GAP43), Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), B-cell lymphoma2 (Bcl2) and protein53 (p53) gene in hypoxia and reperfusion condition. Methods: SK-N-MC cells were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) media in $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cells were cultured for 8 hours in non-glucose media and hypoxic condition and for 12 hours in normal media and $O_2$ concentration. Cell survival rate was measured with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent assay. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to estimate mRNA levels of GAP43, MAP2, Bcl2, and p53 genes. Results: The ginkgolide A and B increased viable cell number decreased in hypoxic and reperfused condition. The co-treatment of ginkgolide B with aspirin also increased the number of viable cells, however, there was no additive effect. Although there was no increase of mRNA expression of GAP43, MAP2, and Bcl2 in SK-N-MC cells with individual treatment of ginkgolide A, B or aspirin in hypoxic and reperfused condition, the co-treatment of ginkgolide A or B with aspirin significantly increased GAP43 and Bcl2 mRNA levels. In MAP2, only the co-treatment of ginkgolide A and aspirin showed increasing effect. The mRNA expression of p53 had no change in all treating conditions. Conclusion: This study suggests that the combined treatments of Ginkgo biloba extracts and aspirin increase the regeneration of neuroblastoma cells injured by hypoxia and reperfusion.

Gangliosides play an important role in neuronal differentiation processes. The regulation of ganglioside levels is related to the induction of neuronal cell differentiation. In this study, the ST8Sia5 gene was transfected into mESCs and then differentiated into neuronal cells. Interestingly, ST8Sia5 gene transfected mESCs expressed GQ1b by HPTLC and immunofluorescence analysis. To investigate the effects of GQ1b over-expression in neurogenesis, neuronal cells were differentiated from GQ1b expressing mESCs in the presence of retinoic acid. In GQ1b expressing mESCs, increased EBs formation was observed. After 4 days, EBs were co-localized with GQ1b and nestin, and GFAP. Moreover, GQ1b co-localized with MAP-2 expressing cells in GQ1b expressing mESCs in 7-day-old EBs. Furthermore, GQ1b expressing mESCs increased the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway. These results suggest that the ST8Sia5 gene increases ganglioside GQ1b and improves neuronal differentiation via the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway.

In this paper, we present a fixed point theorem for a family of generalized condensing multimaps which have ranges of the Zima-Hadžić type in Hausdorff KKM uniform spaces. It extends Himmelberg et al. type fixed point theorem. As applications, we obtain some new collective fixed point theorems for various type generalized condensing multimaps in abstract convex uniform spaces.
