  • To gain a better understanding on the function of the potato Solanum tuberosum Multiprotein Bridging Factor 1 protein (StMBF1) its interaction with the TATA box binding protein (TBP) was demonstrated. In addition we reported that StMBF1 rescues the yeast mbf1 mutant phenotype, indicating its role as a plant co-activator. These data reinforce the hypothesis that MBF1 function is also conserved among non closely related plant species. In addition, measurement of StMBF1 protein level by Western blot using anti-StMBF1 antibodies indicated that the protein level increased upon $H_2O_2$ and heat shock treatments. However, the potato $\beta$-1,3-glucanase protein level was not changed under the same experimental conditions. These data indicate that StMBF1 participates in the cell stress response against oxidative stress allowing us to suggest that MBF1 genes from different plant groups may share similar functions.

  • StMBF1 (Solanum tuberosum multiprotein bridging factor 1) is a plant member of the MBF1 family of transcriptional co-activators. In an attempt to understand the role of StMBF1, we analyzed its interaction with plant transcription factors of the homeodomain-leucine zipper (Hd-Zip) family, a group of proteins with a typical leucine zipper motif adjacent to a homeodomain. StMBF1 is able to interact in vitro with the Hd-Zip protein Hahb-4 both in the presence and absence of DNA. Upon binding, StMBF1 increases the DNA binding affinity of Hahb-4, and of another plant homeodomain containing protein from the GL2/Hd-Zip IV family, HAHR-1. The biological role of interactions is discussed in this paper.

  • 본 연구에서는 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8을 이용한 오디 발효주(MBB)와 시판건조효모 Fermivin을 이용한 오디 발효주(MBF)의 발효 품질 특성을 비교하였고, 항산화능을 확인하기 위하여 두 종의 제조된 발효주와 오디생과 착즙액의 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량 및 DPPH radical 소거 활성, ABTS radical 소거 활성, 환원력을 측정하였다. 또한 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8로 발효한 발효주의 향기성분을 Fermivin 발효주의 향기성분과 비교하여 풍미나 식향에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. S. cerevisiae B-8은 국내 복분자로부터 분리된 토종발효미생물이며, 이와 Fermivin을 각각 오디에 $1{\times}10^9$ CFU/kg으로 접종하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 10일 동안 발효를 진행하였다. 그 결과 MBF의 최종 품질은 알코올 15.44%, 당도 $11.2^{\circ}Bx$, 산도 0.75%로 발효 속도는 MBB보다 약 2배 정도 빠르며 최종 알코올 생성량이 약 1% 정도 높아 우수한 알코올 생성능을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 MBF가 $1.90{\pm}0.02$ GAE mg/mL, MBB는 $1.97{\pm}0.01$ GAE mg/mL로 Fermivin보다 토종발효미생물인 S. cerevisiae B-8로 발효한 MBB가 가장 높은 함량을 보였고, MBB의 총 플라보노이드 함량($0.57{\pm}0.01$ RU mg/mL)은 MBF와 비슷한 함량을 보였으며, MBJ보다는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 항산화 활성 검증을 위한 DPPH radical 소거 활성의 $IC_{50}$ 값을 비교한 결과 오디 착즙액보다 두 종의 발효주의 활성이 증가하였고, MBB($73.62{\pm}0.37{\mu}L/mL$)와 MBF($70.86{\pm}0.79{\mu}L/mL$) 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. ABTS radical 소거 활성 결과 $IC_{50}$ 값은 MBB($19.16{\pm}0.25{\mu}L/mL$), MBF($19.90{\pm}0.19{\mu}L/mL$), 착즙액 순으로 높은 활성을 보였고, 환원력도 MBB가 MBF보다 농도 의존적으로 높은 활성을 보여 항산화 활성 실험 결과 MBB가 MBF보다 우수한 활성을 보였다. 두 종의 오디 발효주에서 분석된 23개의 휘발성분(Table 4) 중 술의 향기성분에 크게 관여하는 과일향이나 와인향의 풍미를 지닌 ester류 15종과 과일향의 acetate류 1종, aldehyde류 1종과 술의 주성분인 ethyl alcohol을 제외한 alcohol 6종이 분석되었다. Ethyl caprylate와 달콤하면서 견과류 향을 나타내는 decanoic acid, ethyl ester가 MBF보다 2배 이상 높은 함량을 보였으며, 부드럽고 orris, violet과 같은 oil 특성을 나타내는 tetradecanoic acid, ethyl ester는 MBF보다 MBB가 약 10배 많은 함량을 보였다. 그 외 술의 향미에 크게 관여하는 ester류 화합물이 MBB보다 MBF에서 대체적으로 더 높은 함량을 보였다. 결과적으로 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8을 이용한 발효주는 시판되는 Fermivin을 이용한 발효주보다 우수한 항산화 활성을 보였으며, 향기성분 분석 결과 상대적으로 풍부한 ester 화합물을 지녀 향미나 식향에도 도움을 줄 것으로 판단되어 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8의 산업적 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Lkh1, a LAMMER kinase homolog in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, acts as a negative regulator of filamentous growth and flocculation. It is also involved in the response to oxidative stress. The lkh1-deletion mutant displays slower cell growth, shorter cell size, and abnormal DNA content compared to the wild type. These phenotypes suggest that Lkh1 controls cell size and cell cycle progression. When we performed microarray analysis using the lkh1-deletion mutant, we found that only four of the up-regulated genes in the lkh1-deletion were associated with the cell cycle. Interestingly, all of these genes are regulated by the Mlu1 cell cycle box binding factor (MBF), which is a transcription complex responsible for regulating the expression of cell cycle genes during the G1/S phase. Transcription analyses of the MBF-dependent cell-cycle genes, including negative feedback regulators, confirmed the up-regulation of these genes by the deletion of lkh1. Pull-down assay confirmed the interaction between Lkh1 and Yox1, which is a negative feedback regulator of MBF. This result supports the involvement of LAMMER kinase in cell cycle regulation by modulating MBF activity. In vitro kinase assay and NetPhosK 2.0 analysis with the Yox1T40,41A mutant allele revealed that T40 and T41 residues are the phosphorylation sites mediated by Lkh1. These sites affect the G1/S cell cycle progression of fission yeast by modulating the activity of the MBF complex.

  • The mechanical properties of STD11 Joints by using TLP (Transient Liquid Phase Diffusion) bonding method employing MBF-30 and MBF-80 insert metals were investigated with concerning to the microstructural change. TLP bonding of STD 11 was carried out at 1323∼1423K for 0.6ks∼3.6ks in vacuum. The microstructure and the element distribution of the interlayer between tool steels and insert metals showed specific feature with bonding conditions. It was found that the width of the interlayer increased at initial bonding stage. However, the width of interlayer showed nearly constant value during the isothermal solidification. After isothermal solidification was completed, the joint showed homogeneous element distribution and similar microstructure with base metal because of the grain boundary migration to the bonded interlayer. The bonding strength measured by a tensile test has been varied with the bonding conditions. The maximum joint strength, 760MPa, was obtained with the condition of 1423K for 1.2ks using MBF30 insert metal in this experiment.

  • On the Transient Liquid Phase Bonding (TLPB) phenomenon with the MBF-50 insert metal at narrow gap (under 100), it takes long time for the bonding and the homogenizing. Typically, isothermal solidification is controlled by the diffusion of depressed element of B and Si. However, the amount of B and Si in the MBF-50 filler metal is large. This is reason of the long bonding time. Also, the MBF-50 filler metal did not contained Al and Ti which are ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ phases former. This is reason of the long homogenizing time. From the bonding phenomenon with the MBF-50 insert metal, we search main factors on the bonding mechanism and select several insert-metals for using the wide-gap TLPB. New insert-metals contained Al and Ti which are ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ phases former and decrease the B then the MBF-50. When the new insert-metal was used on the TLPB, the bonding time was decreased about 1/10 times and homogenizing heat treatment was no needed. In spite of the without homogenizing, the volume fraction of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ phases in the boned interlayer was equal to homogenizing heat treated specimen which was TLPB with the MBF-50. Finally, the new insert metal named WG1 for the wide-gap TLPB is more efficient then the MBF-50 filler metal without decreasing the bonding characteristic.

  • Objective: To study the prevalence and clinical characteristics of decreased myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantified by dynamic computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in symptomatic patients without in-stent restenosis. Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven (mean age, 71.3 ± 10 years; age range, 48-88 years; 31 males, 6 females) consecutive symptomatic patients with patent coronary stents and without obstructive de novo lesions were prospectively enrolled to undergo dynamic CT-MPI using a third-generation dual-source CT scanner. The shuttle-mode acquisition technique was used to image the complete left ventricle. A bolus of contrast media (50 mL; iopromide, 370 mg iodine/mL) was injected into the antecubital vein at a rate of 6 mL/s, followed by a 40-mL saline flush. The mean MBF value and other quantitative parameters were measured for each segment of both stented-vessel territories and reference territories. The MBFratio was defined as the ratio of the mean MBF value of the whole stent-vessel territory to that of the whole reference territory. An MBFratio of 0.85 was used as the cut-off value to distinguish hypoperfused from non-hypoperfused segments. Results: A total of 629 segments of 37 patients were ultimately included for analysis. The mean effective dose of dynamic CT-MPI was 3.1 ± 1.2 mSv (range, 1.7-6.3 mSv). The mean MBF of stent-vessel territories was decreased in 19 lesions and 81 segments. Compared to stent-vessel territories without hypoperfusion, the mean MBF and myocardial blood volume were markedly lower in hypoperfused stent-vessel territories (77.5 ± 16.6 mL/100 mL/min vs. 140.4 ± 24.1 mL/100 mL/min [p < 0.001] and 6.4 ± 3.7 mL/100 mL vs. 11.5 ± 4 mL/100 mL [p < 0.001, respectively]). Myocardial hypoperfusion in stentvessel territories was present in 48.6% (18/37) of patients. None of clinical parameters differed statistically significantly between hypoperfusion and non-hypoperfusion subgroups. Conclusion: Decreased MBF is commonly present in patients who are symptomatic after percutaneous coronary intervention, despite patent stents and can be detected by dynamic CT-MPI using a low radiation dose.

  • 본 연구에서는 배기 가스 촉매정화용 금속담체 지지체의 접합특성을 향상시키기 위하여, 브레이징 접합부의 고온내산화성에 미치는 브레이징 합금원소의 영향을 고찰하였다. 브레이징은 Ni계 합금인 BNi-5 분말(Ni-Cr-Si계합금)과 MBF-50 foil(Ni-Cr-Si-B계 합금)을 사용하여 $1200^\circC$의 진공중에서 행하였다. 약 1-1.5 wt%의 B을 함유한 MBF-50으로 브레이징된 시편이 BNi-5로 브레이징된 시편에 비해 내산화성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났으며. 이것은 합금/브레이징 계변을 따라 형성된 Kirkendall void를 통한 산소의 빠른 침투로 인한 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the association between myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantified by dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and the increments in heart rate (HR) after stress in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively included 204 subjects who underwent both dynamic CT-MPI and coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Patients with more than minimal coronary stenosis (diameter ≥ 25%), history of myocardial infarction/revascularization, cardiomyopathy, and microvascular dysfunction were excluded. Global MBF at stress was measured using hybrid deconvolution and maximum slope model. Furthermore, the HR increments after stress were recorded. Results: The median radiation dose of dynamic CT-MPI plus CCTA was 5.5 (4.5-6.8) mSv. The median global MBF of all subjects was 156.4 (139.8-180.4) mL/100 mL/min. In subjects with HR increment between 10 to 19 beats per minute (bpm), the global MBF was significantly lower than that of subjects with increment between 20 to 29 bpm (153.3 mL/100 mL/min vs. 171.3 mL/100 mL/min, p = 0.027). This difference became insignificant when the HR increment further increased to ≥ 30 bpm. Conclusion: The global MBF value was associated with the extent of increase in HR after stress. Significantly higher global MBF was seen in subjects with HR increment of ≥ 20 bpm.

  • A형 보툴리눔 독소(botulinum toxin type A, BTX-A)는 교근 비대의 치료에 성공적으로 적용되어 왔지만 주사 부위 근육의 약화를 초래한다. 이 연구는 BTX-A를 사람 교근에 주사한 후 최대 교합력(Maximum Bite Force, MBF) 의 변화를 측정하고, 반복 주사의 효과를 평가하기 위해 시행되었다. 30명의 자원자들을 18주간 추적 관찰하고, 최대 교합력을 측정하였다. 1차 주사로부터 18주가 경과한 후 시술에 만족한 16명은 제외하고 나머지 14명에게 반복 주사를 시행하였고, 다시 18주간 측정하였다. 평균 최대 교합력은 주사 2주 후 20% 감소하였다가 4주부터 점차 회복되었으며, 12주 뒤에는 주사 이전 수준으로 회복되었다. 최대 교합력은 주사 전과 주사 2주, 4주, 8주 후에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 반복 주사군(n=14)의 최대 교합력은 6주에 두드러진 감소를 보였다가(p<.05) 12주간 점차 회복되었다. 실험군이 경험한 불편감의 수준은 일반적인 저작에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.
