To develop a convenient promoter analysis system for fungi, a null-pigment mutant (NPG) of Aspergillus nidulans was used with the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPTase) gene, npgA, which restores the normal pigmentation in A. nidulans, as a new reporter gene. The functional organization of serially deleted promoter regions of the A. nidulans trpC gene and the Cryphonectria parasitica crp gene in filamentous fungi was representatively investigated to establish a novel fungal promoter assay system that depends on color complementation of the NPG mutant with the PPTase npgA gene. Several promoter regions of the trpC and crp genes were fused to the npgA gene containing the 1,034-bp open reading frame and the 966-bp 3' downstream region from the TAA, and the constructed fusions were introduced into the NPG mutant in A. nidulans to evaluate color recovery due to the transcriptional activity of the sequence elements. Serial deletion of the trpC and crp promoter regions in this PPTase reporter assay system reaffirmed results in previous reports by using the fungal transformation step without a laborious verification process. This approach suggests a more rapid and convenient system than conventional analyses for fungal gene expression studies.

불포화 폴리에스테르(unsaturated polyester : UPE) 수지를 다가알콜 (propylene glycol : PG, neopentyl glycol : NPG)의 각 몰비를 조정하여 포화 이염기산(isophthalic acid : IPA)과 불포화 이영기산 (maleic anhydride : MA)의 혼합물로 축합반응으로 제조하였다. 고체의 표면특성을 결정짓는 임계표면장력(${\gamma}_{c}$)을 Zisman plot으로 평가하였고, 또한 수지의 구조와 물성과의 관게를 레올로지 측정으로 조사하였다. 고체 glass에 의한 (${\gamma}_{c}$)은 UPE 수지 액체들에 대해서 30.5mN${\cdot}m^{-1}$를 얻었고, PG/NPG 몰비중 NPG 함량이 증가할수록 UPE 수지 용액의 접촉각과 표면장력이 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 글리콜 몰비가 다른 UPE 수지의 동적 점탄성을 측정하면 정상류 점도의 전단속도 의존성, 동적 탄성율의 각 주파수 의존성에 의해 순수한 PG보다는 NPG의 함량이 증가할수록 낮은 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical and sensory properties of yogurt added with nanopowdered ginseng (NPG) and powdered ginseng (PG) of different concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7%) (w/v) during the storage at $7^{\circ}C$ for 20 d. The pH and viscosity values of yogurt added NPG or PG decreased during the storage. The pH values of the yogurt samples were ranged from 4.0 to 4.6 as a reflective of the fresh state. Viscosity values of yogurt with NPG at lower concentrations 0.1 and 0.3% (w/v) showed higher values during increased storage time. DPPH radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in the NPG-added yogurt than in the PG during the storage period (p<0.05). The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts ranged from $3.0{\times}10^9$ to $1.3{\times}10^9$ and $2.2{\times}10^9$ to $1.1{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ in 0.3% NPG and PG-added yogurts, respectively. Increased storage period showed decrease in LAB counts irrespective of the type of ginseng powder and storage period. In sensory test, 0.1 and 0.3% NPG-added yogurt showed similar results to control in yellowness, viscosity, and bitterness. Based on the data obtained from the present study, it was concluded that the concentrations 0.1 and 0.3% (w/v) of NPG could be used to produce NPG-added yogurt without significant adverse effects on physicochemical and sensory properties, and enhance functional value of yogurt.

PET(polyethylene terephthalate)는 섬유 및 다방면의 응용분야에 사용되는 상업용 고분자로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 PET를 개질하기 위해 pentanediol의 이성질체인 1,5-pentanediol(1, 5-PD)과 neopentyl glycol(NPG)를 제3 monomer로 도입시켰다. NPG를 도입시킨 경우에는 결정화 속도가 감소하고, 1,5-PD로 개질된 PET는 1,5-PD가 약 10mo1% 첨가될 때가지 결정화 속도가 서서히 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 NPG의 branch된 methyl기가 고분자 사슬에 표면으로 확산되면서 결정화하는 것을 방해하기 때문이다.

This study was divised to observe an Inhibitory effect toward a lipolytic action of toxohormone-L from large root and small root Nepal pseudo ginseng (NPG ; Nepal products) components by water extract and ethanol precipitate in vitro. Toxohormone-L is known to be a lipolytic factor that was partially purified from the ascites fluid of Sarcoma 180-bearing mice and of patients with hepatoma. The inhibitory effect that inhibited the lipolytic action of toxohormone-L by ethanol Precipitate component of large root NPG (mean 55.5%) was higher (mean 1.37 times) than that of water extract component in final reaction concentration of 500 and 1, 000ug/ml, on the other side inhibitory effect of water extract component in small root NPG (mean 55.5%) was higer (mean 1.14 times) than that of ethanol precipitate component. In a way inhibitory effect of precipitate component In large root NPG(47.6%), when final reaction concentration of sample were 1, 000ug/ml, was about 40% lower than that of Korean red ginseng.

The effects of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) were evaluated on the generation of multiply charged ions of cytochrome c in a 2-nitrophloroglucinol (2-NPG) matrix in high-vacuum, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The presence of 1% TFA in the 2-NPG matrix solution was more effective in generating multiply charged protein ions than matrix solutions containing 0.1% or 0% TFA. Regarding the matrix itself, with 1% TFA, 2-NPG was significantly more effective in generating multiply charged ions than 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB). The maximum charge state of cytochrome c was +8 when using a 2-NPG matrix containing 1% TFA.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mixed pharmacopuncture of $Jungsongouhyul$ and $Cervi$ $Pantotrichum$ $Cornu$ on low back pain patients. Methods : 83 patients with Low back pain who were treated in Dept. of Acupuncture and Moxibusion, Dongshin University Hospital in Suncheon from Sep. 1st, 2010 to August 31th, 2011, were divided into two groups. One group (52 patients) was treated with conservative treatments (acupuncture, herb med, cupping therapy and physical therapy) and mixed pharmacopuncture of $Jungsongouhyul$ and $Cervi$ $Pantotrichum$ $Cornu$ theraphy (PG) and the other group (31 patients) was treated with conservative treatments alone(NPG). To estimate the effects of treatments, visual analog scale(VAS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI) were checked. Results : 1. In VAS, both of PG and NPG shows statistically significant improvement rate after 3rd treatment and 5th treatment. 2. In ODI, both of PG and NPG shows statistically significant improvement rate after 3rd treatment and 5th treatment. 3. In comparing VAS of PG and NPG, there was more significant improvement in PG than NPG after 3rd treatment and 5th treatment. 4. In comparing ODI of PG and NPG, there was more significant improvement in PG than NPG after 3rd treatment but no significant improvement between PG and NPG after 5th treatment. Conclusions : According to the study, it is thought that mixed pharmacopuncture of $Jungsongouhyul$ and $Cervi$ $Pantotrichum$ $Cornu$ theraphy is effective to low back pain patients, and further study is needed for the confirmation of the effect of mixed pharmacopuncture of $Jungsongouhyul$ and $Cervi$ $Pantotrichum$ $Cornu$.

200 두의 한우 거세우를 이용한 비교도체 시험에서 얻어진 자료로부터 유지를 위한 정미에너지 요구량(Net energy requirements for growth, NEg) 및 단백질 요구량(Net protein requirements for growth, NPg) 산출식을 도출하기 위해 본 실험을 수행하였다. 공시축은 6개월령에서 8두를 무작위 선발하여 도축하였고, 나머지 192두는 2개 처리에 임의 배치하였다. 농후사료 제한 급여구는 6～12개월령에 체중의 1.2～1.5%, 13～18개월령에는 체중의 1.7～1.8%로 제한 급여하였고, 19～30개월령에는 자유채식시켰다. 무제한 급여구는 6개월령부터 30개월령까지 전 사육기간 농후사료를 자유채식시켰다. 두 처리 모두 조사료는 볏짚을 자유채식시켰다. 8개월령부터 각 처리 8두씩 무작위 선발하여 2개월 간격으로 30개월령까지 도축하였다. 모든 조직 부위의 중량을 측정한 후, 일정비율의 시료를 채취하여 0～5℃ 상태로 실험실로 운반하여 단백질 및 지방 그리고 bomb caloriemeter로 calorie를 측정하였다. NEg와 NPg 요구량 산출 회귀식은 일본 육우사양표준(農林水産技術會議事務局, 2000)의 회귀식과 같은 변수로 구성되었고, NEg 산출식은 농후사료 제한 급여구에서 NEg = 0.05332×LBW0.75×DG 그리고 무제한 급여구에서 NEg=0.04912×LBW0.75×DG으로 결정되었다. NPg 요구량은 농후사료 제한 급여구는 NPg=DG×(224.7－0.251×LBW), 무제한 급여구는 NPg=DG×(210.1－0.214×LBW)로 결정되었다.

pNPG는 염색체 1번의 동원체 왼편에 위치하는 npgA1을 상보할 수 있는 genomic DNA를 포함하는 플라스미드인데 Aspergillus nidulans의 형질전환율을 현저히 증가시키는 특징을 보여주었다. 이 플라스미드로 형질전환시켰을 때 $Trp^+$형질전환체 모두가 $Npg^+$이었고 이들 중에 불완전 형질전환체는 전혀 형성되지 않았다. pNPG를 제한효소 PstI으로 절단하여 얻어진 10.4 kb 절편내에 형질전환율을 증가시키는 DNA서열이 존재함을 확인하고 pILJ16의 PstI site에 재조합하여 pKJH10.4라 명명하였다. pKJH10.4에 의한 A. nidulans의 형질전환율은 pILJ16 보다 대략 200배 이상 증가하였다. pKJH10.4에 의한 형질전환체를 비선택적 조건에서 배양하였을 때 $Arg^+$무성생식포자의 약 80%이상이 $Arg^-$로 복귀됨으로써 플라스미드가 매우 불안정함을 보여주었다. argB2 지표와 다른 종류의 연관된 유전자 지표를 지니는 플라스미드로 형질전환하였을 경우 비선택적 조건에서 argB2 지표가 결손될 때 연관된 다른 지표도 항상 함께 결손되는 현상을 보여주었다. 이 결과는 이 플라스미드에 의한 형질전환체의 불안정성이 염색체로 삽입되었다가 절제되어 나오기 때문이기보다는 염색체 밖에서 자가 복제하기 때문임을 시사한다. 형질전환율을 증가시키는 최소한의 DNA절편은 EcoRI-HaeIII 4.9 kb 절편이었으며 PvuII-EcoRI 2.2 kb 절편은 플라스미드의 불안정성과 관련이 있었다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 형질전환율을 증가시키는 새로운 DNA 서열의 특성이 ANS1 보다는 AMA1과 유사하였으므로 AMA2라 명명하였다.
