  • Many nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the exchange of ${\gamma}$-phosphates between tri- and diphosphonucleosides. The catalytic Many nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the exchange of ${\gamma}$-phosphates between tri- and diphosphonucleosides. The catalytic reaction follows a ping-pong mechanism in which the enzyme is transiently phosphorylated on a histidine residue conserved in all nucleoside diphosphate kinases. Beside their role in nucleotide synthesis, these enzymes present additional functions, possibly independent of catalysis, in processes such as differentiation, cell growth, tumor progression, metastasis and development. To clone murine nm23-M5, several expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of the GenBank data base, selected according to their homology to nm23-H5 cDNA, reconstituted a complete open reading frame (GenBank AF222750). To test whether murine NDPKs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) can inhibit Bax-mediated toxicity in yeast, co-transformation was performed respectively. The yeast S.cerevisiae was transformed with a copy expression plasmid containing the histidine selection marker and expressing murine Bax under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter. Several clones were selected and found to be growth inhibited when Bax expression was induced with galactose. A representative clone was transformed again with a copy expression plasmid containing the tryptophane selection marker and expressing either murine Bcl-xL or NDPK under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter. Several subclones of the double-transformants were selected and characterized. The ability of Bcl-xL and NDPKs to suppress Bax-mediated toxicity was determined by growing yeast cells overnight in galactose media and spot-testing on galactose plates starting with an equal number of yeast cells as determined by taking the OD$_{600}$. Ten-fold serial dilutions were used in the spot-test. Plates were grown at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 2-3 days. All murine NDPKs suppressed Bax dependent apoptosis. Futher study will be peformed whether Bax-toxicity inhibition was caused by NDP kinase activity or additional function.n.

  • 호흡기 바이러스는 인간에게 가장 강한 감염력을 지닌 병원체의 하나이다. 1997년-2000년 부산지역에서 시행된 바이러스성 전염병 유행예측사업 과정 중에 호흡기계 바이러스를 분리하여 확인하였다. 지정 의뢰된 검체에서 분리된 바이러스의 평균 분리율은 8.4%이었으며 확인된 바이러스의 종류에는 인플루엔자 바이러스 A, B형, 파라인플루엔자 바이러스, 아데노바이러스, 유행성이하선염 바이러스, 홍역 바이러스이었다. 분리된 인플루엔자 바이러스의 주요 항원형은 인플루엔자 A/Sydney/05/97(H3N2)-like 및 A/Johanesburg/33/94(H3N2)-like, A/Beijing/262/95(H1N1)-like, 그리고 인플루엔자 B/Beijing/262/95-like와 B/Harbin/07/94-like, B/Guangdong/08/93-like형이었다. 주요 혈청형으로는 아데노 바이러스는 1, 2, 3, 5 혈청형이 관찰되었고, 유행성 이하선염과 홍역 바이러스는 IgN 과 IgG 항체가로 확인하고 유행성 이하선염 바이러스도 분리하였다. 연도별 발생에서는 인플루엔자 바이러스는 항원형은 달랐으나 매년 나타났으며 파라인플루엔자 바이러스는 1999년에 확인되었다. 1999년과 2000년에는 유행성 이하선염 바이러스가, 2000년도엔 홍역바이러스가 집중적으로 검출되었다. 분리월별로는 인플루엔자 바이러스는 11월에서 다음해 3월 사이, 아데노바이러스는 1월에서 6월 사이, 유행성 이하선염은 2월에서 5월 그리고 12월에, 홍역은 4월에서 8월, 11월과 12월에 각각 확인되었고, 파라인플루엔자는 12월에 분리되었다. 분리된 바이러스는 외피가 없는 70 nm의 아데노바이러스를 제외하고 모든 구형을 나타내었으며, 크기는 인플루엔자바이러스 B형이 130 nm, 유행성 이하선염과 파라인플루엔자 바이러스는 외피가 있는 170-180nm 이었다.TEX>$\pm$0.10(100분), 0.46$\pm$0.11(120분), 0.52$\pm$0.15(심폐기 재가동 30분), 0.62$\pm$0.15(60분), 0.76$\pm$0.17(심폐기이탈 30분), 0.81$\pm$0.20(60분), 0.84$\pm$0.23(90분) and 0.94$\pm$0.33(120분)를 보였고 이는 역행성 뇌관류 전에 비해 유의하게 증가된 소견이었다(p<0.05). 뇌신피질, 기저핵, 해마에서 전자현미경 조직 소견을 관찰하였으며 마이토콘드리아의 부종을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론 : 역행성 뇌관류 120분 후에 S100 베타 단백의 유의한 증가를 관찰할 수 있었으며 뇌조직 손상과의 관련성은 좀 더 연구되어야 할 부분으로 생각된다. 장기 생존 모델을 통한 재평가가 필요하다고 사료되며 심폐바이패스 시행 등의 교란 인자도 고려해야 할 것이다.비해 Progenitor II의 형질전환 효율이 현저히 떨어졌다.

  • The characteristics of disinfection and organic removal were investigated with pulse UV lamp in this study. The intensity and emission wavelength of pulse UV Lamp were compared with low pressure UV lamp. The emission spectrum range of pulse UV lamp was between 200 and 400 nm while the emission spectrum of low pressure UV lamp was only single wavelength of 254nm. 3 Log inactivation rate of B. subtilis spore by pulse UV and low pressure UV irradiation was determined as $44.71mJ/cm^2$ and $57.7mJ/cm^2$, respectively. This results implied that wide range of emission spectrum is more effective compared to single wavelength emission at 254nm. 500ng/L of initial 2-MIB concentration was investigated on the removal efficiency by UV only and $UV/H_2O_2$ process. The removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 80% at $8,600mJ/cm^2$ dose. 2-MIB removal rate of $UV/H_2O_2$ (5 mg/L $H_2O_2$) process was 25 times increased compared to UV only process. DOC removal efficiency for the water treatment plant effluent was examined. The removal efficiency of DOC by UV and $UV/H_2O_2$ was no more than 20%. Removal efficiency of THMFP(Trihalomethane Formation Potential), one of the chlorination disinfection by-products, is determined on the UV irradiation and $UV/H_2O_2$ process. Maximum removal efficiency of THMFP was approximately 23%. This result indicates that more stable chemical structures of NOM(Natural Organic Matter) than low molecule compounds such as 2-MIB, hydrogen peroxide and other pollutants affect low removal efficiency for UV photolysis. Consequently, pulse UV lamp is more efficient compared to low pressure lamp in terms of disinfection due to it's broad wavelength emission of UV. Additional effect of pulse UV is to take place the reactions of both direct photolysis to remove micro organics and disinfection simultaneously. It is also expected that hydrogen peroxide enable to enhance the oxidation efficiency on the pulse UV irradiation due to formation of OH radical.

  • An RPLC-postcolumn detection method has been developed for the fluorimetric determination of dichloroacetamide (DCAD) in water. After ammonia and DCAD were separated on a $C_{18}$ nonpolar stationary phase with 2.5% methanol-0.02 M phosphate buffer at pH 3, the column eluant was reacted with post column reagents, o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) and sulfite ion at pH 11.5, to produce a highly fluorescent isoindole fluorophore, which was measured with a fluorescence detector ( ${\lambda}_{ex}$ = 363 nm, ${\lambda}_{em}$ = 425 nm). With the optimized conditions for RPLC and the postcolumn derivatization, the calibration curve was found to be linear in the concentration ranges of 0.5 and 20 ${\mu}$M for DCAD, and the detection limit for DCAD was 0.18 ${\mu}$M (23${\mu}$g/L). This corresponded to 18 pmol per 100 ${\mu}$L injection volume for a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, and the repeatability and reproducibility of this method were 1.0% and 2.5% for five replicate analyzes of 2 ${\mu}$M DCAD, respectively. The degradation yields DCAD to ammonia were 94 and 99%, and the percent recoveries of DCAD from 4 and 6 ${\mu}$M DCAD-spiked tap water were shown mean more than 97%.

  • Mirtazapine is an antidepressant agent with dual action on both the noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter systems. A simple high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of mirtazapine in human plasma. A reversed-phase Cl8 column was used for the determination of mirtazapine with a mobile phase composed of 0.01M ammonium acetate solution (pH 4.2) and acetonitrile (75:25, v/v%) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. Terazosin hydrochloride was used as an internal standard. The fluorescence detector was set at excitation and emission wavelengths of 290 and 350 nm, respectively. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification of 3 ng/mL. Mirtazapine was stable in human plasma under various storage conditions. This method was used successfully for a pharmacokinetic study using plasma samples after oral administration of a single 30 mg dose as mirtazapine base to 8 healthy volunteers. The maximum plasma concentration of mirtazapine was $64.1{\pm}28.0ng/mL$ at 1.8 h, and the area under the curve and elimination half-life were calculated to be $674.1{\pm}218.5ng\;h/mL\;and\;23.4{\pm}3.8h$, respectively.

  • 목 적: 방사선 치료를 받은 코인두암 환자의 치료 전 조직을 면역조직화학염색하여 생체분자적 예후인자를 찾고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년부터 2006년까지 방사선 치료를 받은 코인두암환자는 68명이었다. 이중 38명의 환자에서 면역조직화학염색을 위한 파라핀 블록을 찾을 수 있었다. 전체 환자 중 31명은 미분화암종이었고, 7명은 편평세포암종이었다. 전체 환자의 84%가 2002 American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage III or IV 환자였다. 전체 환자의 파라핀 블록을 이용하여 Met, COX-2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), nm23-H1에 대해 면역조직화학염색을 시행하였다. 결 과: 전체 환자의 중앙 추적 기간은 30개월이었고 생존 환자의 중앙 추적 기간은 39개월이었다. 높은(${\geq}50%$) Met 발현을 보인 환자들의 5년 생존율은 48%, 낮은 Met 발현을 보인 환자들의 5년 생존율은 84%로 이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.02). Met 발현 정도는 다변량 분석에서도 유의한 인자로 분석되었다(p=0.01). Met 발현은 종양의 병기, 성별, 나이, 항암제나 방사선 치료에 대한 반응 정도와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. Met 발현 정도는 COX-2 발현과 중등도의 상관관계를 보였으나(Pearson coefficient 0.496, p<0.01), COX-2 발현은 전체생존율에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 nm23-H1이나 EGFR의 발현은 예후인자가 아닌 것으로 분석되었다. 결 론: 방사선치료를 받은 코인두암에서, 높은(${\geq}\;50%$) Met 발현은 전체생존율에 영향을 미치는 독립적인 예후인자일 가능성이 있다.

  • 백운풀의 품질표준화를 위하여 지표 성분을 설정하고자 하였다. 백운풀의 에탄올 추출물 중 비교적 백운풀에 특이하고, 다량 함유되어 있는 화합물을 분리한 다음 $^1H$$^{13}C$-NMR을 이용하여 구조 동정한 결과, HD1 (digitolutein), HD2 (2-hydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone), HD3 [(E/Z)-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester, 4:1] 및 HD4 [(E/Z)-6-O-p-methoxycinnamoyl scandoside methyl ester, 4:1]의 4 종 화합물을 표준품으로 확보할 수 있었다. HD1~4의 검량선을 작성한 결과 상관계수($R^2$)는 각각 0.9991, 0.9999, 0.9993, 0.9998로 높은 직선성을 보였으며, LOD는 0.05, 0.06, 0.03, $0.07{\mu}g/ml$로, LOQ는 0.165, 0.198, 0.99, $0.231{\mu}g/ml$ 수준으로 나타났다. 또한 면적 비에 대한 재현성 RSD (%)는 각각 0.16, 0.90, 1.18, 0.58%의 값을 보였으며 일내 CV (%)는 0.23, 2.00, 1.18, 0.26%를, 일내 정확도는 102.80, 96.08, 108.44, 94.60%로 나타났다. 한편, 일간 CV (%)는 각각 0.25, 1.16, 0.98, 0.30%, 일간 정확도는 102.82, 98.58, 110.23, 94.73%였다. 백운풀 추출물 중 설정한 4 종 지표성분의 정량을 위한 최적 HPLC 조건을 검토한 결과, 고정상은 Merck Chromolith RP-18e ($100{\times}4.6mm$, $5{\mu}m$), 컬럼 온도는 실온, 검출은 UV 280 nm, 유속 2.0 ml/min, injection volume $10{\mu}l$, 이동상으로는 0.5% acetic acid가 포함된 $H_2O$ (A)와 methanol (B)을 사용하여 최초 80% (A)로 시작하여 9분 후 40% (A)가 되도록 gradient를 준 다음 18분까지 유지하는 조건을 설정하였다. 이 방법으로 백운풀 ethanol 추출물을 분석할 경우 다른 성분의 방해 없이 20분 이내에 모든 지표성분을 분석할 수 있었다. 연구결과는 백운풀의 건강기능식품 및 천연물신약 개발 및 품질관리에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The purposes of this study are the identification and determination of metabolites in the isolated rat liver perfusate of carbon disulfide by two-dimentional thin-layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography for understanding the metabolism of carbon disulfide. 2-Thio-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid(TTCA) was synthesized by the reaction of carbon disulfide and cysteine, and confirmed by two-dimentional thin-layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, UV spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. The absorbance of UV detector for the simultaneous determination of TTCA and thiocarbamide was 254 nm although their maximum spectra were 273 nm and 237 nm, respectively. Two kinds of the developing solvent in the two-dimentional thin-layer chromatography were 2-butanol : 80% HCOOH : $H_2O$ (7 : 2 : 1) as the first developing solvent and 2-propanol : $H_2O$ (4 : 1) as the second developing solvent. After perfusion of carbon disulfide ($8274.23{\mu}mol$), the amount of TTCA and thiocabamide of the perfusate(100 ul) were $12.02-16.4{\mu}mol$ and $5.25-8.15{\mu}g$, respectively. The mean amount of them were $14.08{\mu}mol$ and $6.41{\mu}mol$ respectively, and the former was 2.20 times greater than the latter. For conforming the mechanism of formations of TTCA and thiocarbamide in vivo, we have to clarify whether the reactions between carbon disulfide and ammonia, ammonium salts, amides, cysteine, cystine, or proteins will be formed in vitro.

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dna2 protein has biochemical activities: DNA-dependent ATPase, DNA helicase and DNA nuclease and is essential for cell viability. Especially, Pro$\^$504/ is determined as an important residue in ATPase, helicase, and nuclease activity. We synthesized and determined the three-dimensional solution structure of N-terminal domain comprising residues of Val$\^$501/ -_Phe$\^$508/ (Dna2$\^$pep/) using two-dimensional $^1$H-NMR and dynamical simulated annealing calculations. On the basis of a total of 44 experimental restraints including NOEs, $^3$J$\_$$\alpha$$\beta$/ and $^3$J$\_$$\alpha$$\beta$/ coupling constants, the solution structures of Dna2$\^$epe/ were calculated with the program CNS. The 23 lowest energy structures were selected out of 50 final simulated-annealing structures. The atomic RMSDs of the final 23 structures fur the individual residues were calculated with respect to the average structure. The mean RMSDs for the 23 structures were 0.042 nm for backbone atoms and 0.316 nm for all heavy atoms, respectively. The Ramachandran plot indicates that the $\Phi$, Ψ angles of the 23 final structures are properly distributed in energetically acceptable regions. Solution structure of Dna2$\^$pep/ showed a single unique turn spanning residues of Asn$\^$503/ Val$\^$506/.
