세포는 다양한 인체 질환에 관련되어 있는 저산소 환경을 인지하고 반응하며 적응한다. 저산소 상태에 적응하기 위해서는 hypoxic 유전자의 발현을 증가시키고 aerobic 유전자의 발현을 감소시키는 유전자 발현 조절이 필요하다. 최근 연구에서 미토콘드리아 호흡계가 이러한 유전자 발현 조절에 관여됨이 밝혀지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 호흡이 가능한 곰팡이(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)와 호흡이 불가능한 돌연변이 곰팡이를 실험대상으로 하여 미토콘드리아 호흡계가 저산소 환경에서 유전자 발현 조절에 관여됨을 DNA microarray 기법을 이용하여 전체 유전자를 대상으로 조사하였다. 산소 농도가 감소함에 반응하여 많은 유전자의 발현에 변화가 있었으며, 이러한 차별적인 발현 양상을 보이는 유전자는 여러 그룹으로 분류할 수 있었다. 대부분의 hypoxic 그리고 aerobic 유전자는 저산소 상태에 적응하는 발현 양상을 위해서는 미토콘드리아 호흡계가 필요하였다. 그러나 일부 hypoxic 그리고 aerobic 유전자는 미토콘드리아 호흡계와 무관하게 저산소 상태에 적응하는 발현 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 미토콘드리아 호흡계가 저산소 환경에 적응하는 유전자 발현 조절에 필요하며, 또한 여러 기전을 통하여 이러한 유전자 발현 조절에 관여함을 제시한다. 또한 microarray 실험 결과에서 도출된 산소 농도에 대해 차별적인 발현을 보이는 유전자에 대하여 gene ontology 및 promoter 분석을 수행하였고 이러한 추가 분석 결과는 산소에 의해 조절되는 유전자와 함께 세포가 저산소 환경에 적응하는 기작을 이해하는 데 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this busy world actually stress is continuously grow up in research and monitoring social websites. The social interaction is a process by which people act and react in relation with each other like play, fight, dance we can find social interactions. In this we find social structure means maintain the relationships among peoples and group of peoples. Its a limit and depends on its behavior. Because relationships established on expectations of every one involve depending on social network. There is lot of difference between emotional pain and physical pain. When you feel stress on physical body we all feel with tensions, stress on physical consequences, physical effects on our health. When we work on social network websites, developments or any research related information retrieving etc. our brain is going into stress. Actually by social network interactions like watching movies, online shopping, online marketing, online business here we observe sentiment analysis of movie reviews and feedback of customers either positive/negative. In movies there we can observe peoples reaction with each other it depends on actions in film like fights, dances, dialogues, content. Here we can analysis of stress on brain different actions of movie reviews. All these movie review analysis and stress on brain can calculated by machine learning techniques. Actually in target oriented business, the persons who are working in marketing always their brain in stress condition their emotional conditions are different at different times. In this paper how does brain deal with stress management. In software industries when developers are work at home, connected with clients in online work they gone under stress. And their emotional levels and stress levels always changes regarding work communication. In this paper we represent emotional intelligence with stress based analysis using machine learning techniques in social networks. It is ability of the person to be aware on your own emotions or feeling as well as feelings or emotions of the others use this awareness to manage self and your relationships. social interactions is not only about you its about every one can interacting and their expectations too. It about maintaining performance. Performance is sociological understanding how people can interact and a key to know analysis of social interactions. It is always to maintain successful interactions and inline expectations. That is to satisfy the audience. So people careful to control all of these and maintain impression management.

Objectives:The ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1, the major components of ginseng saponin, have neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects including promotion of neuronal survival and proliferation, facilitation of learning and memory, and protection from ischemic injury and apoptosis. In this study, to investigate the molecular basis of the effects of ginsenoside on neuron, we analyzed gene expression profiling of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells treated with ginsenoside Rg1 or Rb1. Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were cultured and treated in triplicate with ginsenoside Rg1 or Rb1($80{\mu}M$, $40{\mu}M$, $20{\mu}M$). The proliferation rates of SH-SY5Y cells were determined by MTT assay and microscopic examination. We used a high density cDNA microarray chip that contained 8K human genes to analyze the gene expression profiles in SH-SY5Y cells. We analyzed using the Significance Analysis of Microarray(SAM) method for identifying genes on a microarray with statistically significant changes in expression. Results:Treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with $80{\mu}M$ ginsenoside Rg1 or Rb1 for 36h showed maximal proliferation compared with other concentrations or control. The results of the microarray experiment yielded 96 genes were upregulated(${\geq}$3 fold) in Rg1 treated cells and 40 genes were up-regulated(${\geq}$2 fold) in Rb1 treated cells. Treatment with ginsenoside Rg1 for 36h induced the expression of some genes associated with protein biosynthesis, regulation of transcription or translation, cell proliferation and growth, neurogenesis and differentiation, regulation of cell cycle, energy transport and others. Genes associated with neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation such as SCG10 and MLP increased in ginsenoside Rg1 treated cells, but such changes did not occur in Rb1-group. Conclusion:Our data provide novel insights into the gene mechanisms involved in possible role for ginsenoside Rg1 or Rb1 in mediating neuronal proliferation or cell viability, which can elicit distinct patterns of gene expression in neuronal cell line. Ginsenoside Rg1 have more broad and strong effects than ginsenoside Rb1 in gene expression and related cellular physiology. In addition, we suggest that SCG10 gene, which is known to be expressed in neuronal differentiation during development and neuronal regeneration during adulthood, may have a role in enhancement of activity dependent synaptic plasticity or cytoskeletal regulation following treatment of ginsenoside Rg1. Further, ginsenoside Rg1 may have a possible role in regeneration of injured neuron, promotion of memory, and prevention from aging or neuronal degeneration.

Situated close to Heathrow Airport, and adjacent to the M4 and M25 Motorways, the site at Axis Park is considered a prime location for business in the UK. In consequnce two of the UK's major property development companies, MEPC and Redrew Homes sought the expertise of Intergeo to remediate the contaminated former industrial site prior to its development. Industrial use of the twenty-six hectare site, started in 1936, when Hawker Aircraft commence aircraft manufacture. In 1963 the Firestone Tyre and Rubber Company purchased part of the site. Ford commenced vehicle production at the site in the mid-1970's and production was continued by Iveco Ford from 1986 to the plant's decommissioning in 1997. Geologically the site is underlain by sand and gravel, deposited in prehistory by the River Thames, with London Clay at around 6m depth. The level of groundwater fluctuates seasonally at around 2.5m depth, moving slowly southwest towards local streams and watercourses. A phased investigation of the site was undertaken, which culminated in the extensive site investigation undertaken by Intergeo in 1998. In total 50 boreholes, 90 probeholes and 60 trial pits were used to investigate the site and around 4000 solid and 1300 liquid samples were tested in the laboratory for chemical substances. The investigations identified total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil up to 25, 000mg/kg. Diesel oil, with some lubricating oil were the main components. Volatile organic compounds were identified in the groundwater in excess of 10mg/l. Specific substances included trichloromethane, trichloromethane and tetrachloroethene. Both the oil and volatile compounds were widely spread across the site, The specific substances identified could be traced back to industrial processes used at one or other dates in the sites history Slightly elevated levels of toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were also identified locally. Prior to remediation of the site and throughout its progress, extensive liaison with the regulatory authorities and the client's professional representatives was required. In addition to meetings, numerous technical documents detailing methods and health and safety issues were required in order to comply with UK environmental and safety legislation. After initially considering a range of options to undertake remediation, the following three main techniques were selected: ex-situ bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils, skimming of free floating hydrocarbon product from the water surface at wells and excavations and air stripping of volatile organic compounds from groundwater recovered from wells. The achievements were as follows: 1) 350, 000m3 of soil was excavated and 112, 000m3 of sand and gravel was processed to remove gravel and cobble sized particles; 2) 53, 000m3 of hydrocarbon contaminated soil was bioremediated in windrows ; 3) 7000m3 of groundwater was processed by skimming to remove free floating Product; 4) 196, 000m3 of groundwater was Processed by air stripping to remove volatile organic compounds. Only 1000m3 of soil left the site for disposal in licensed waste facilities Given the costs of disposal in the UK, the selected methods represented a considerable cost saving to the Clients. All other soil was engineered back into the ground to a precise geotechnical specification. The following objective levels were achieved across the site 1) By a Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA) methodology it was demonstrated that soil with less that 1000mg/kg total petroleum hydrocarbons did not pose a hazard to health or water resources and therefore, could remain insitu; 2) Soils destined for the residential areas of the site were remediated to 250mg/kg total petroleum hydrocarbons; in the industrial areas 500mg/kg was proven acceptable. 3) Hydrocarbons in groundwater were remediated to below the Dutch Intervegtion Level of 0.6mg/1; 4) Volatile organic compounds/BTEX group substances were reduced to below the Dutch Intervention Levels; 5) Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals were below Inter-departmental Committee for the Redevelopment of Contaminated Land guideline levels for intended enduse. In order to verify the qualify of the work 1500 chemical test results were submitted for the purpose of validation. Quality assurance checks were undertaken by independent consultants and at an independent laboratory selected by Intergeo. Long term monitoring of water quality was undertaken for a period of one year after remediation work had been completed. Both the regulatory authorities and Clients representatives endorsed the quality of remediation now completed at the site. Subsequent to completion of the remediation work Redrew Homes constructed a prestige housing development. The properties at "Belvedere Place" retailed at premium prices. On the MEPC site the Post Office, amongst others, has located a major sorting office for the London area. Exceptionally high standards of remediation, control and documentation were a requirement for the work undertaken here.aken here.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between climacteric symptoms and management of menopause of middle -aged women. The subjects of this study were 261 women(40 to 60 years old). Data were collected from Jun. 1 to Jul. 15, 2001 by a structured questionnaire. The instruments employed were : 1) The Climacteric Symptoms Scale developed by Aeri Song and Eun soon Chung(1998). 2) The Management of Menopause Scale developed by Aeri Song(1997). The data were analyzed by the SPSS p.c. program using t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of the study were as follows : 1. Mean score of climacteric symptoms was $2.18{\pm}0.39$(Maximum 4, Minimum 1). The mean scores among the categories of climacteric symptoms, in descending order, were : a) physical and physiological reactions ($2.62{\pm}0.53$), b) social and family relationships ($2.23{\pm}0.50$), c) psychiatric and psychological reactions ($2.08{\pm}0.49$), d) relationship with sexual partner($1.73{\pm}0.54$), e) genitourinary reactions ($1.72{\pm}0.55$). 2. Mean score of management of menopause was $1.79{\pm}0.45$ (Maximum 4, Minimum 1). The mean scores among the categories of management of menopause, in descending order, were : a) dietary management($2.57{\pm}0.52$), b) self control ($2.24{\pm}0.57$), c) management of exercise and physical activity($2.14{\pm}0.75$), d) management of sex life($1.71{\pm}0.47$), e) management of professional health maintenance($1.61{\pm}0.59$). 3. There were statistically significant differences in the score of middle-aged women's self reported climacteric symptoms according to : a) occupation (t=-2.79, p<0.001) b) marriage state (t=-2.29, p<0.05) c) age of menarche (F=4.66, p<0.001) d) method of Sanhujori (post natal care & treatment) (F=4.22, p<0.001) e) hormone replacement therapy (t=-3.09, p<0.05). From the above statistics, several significant findings were noted : a) There were more climacteric symptoms from those who were unemployed, those who had no partner or were divorced and those who started a menarche earlier. b) There were less climacteric symptoms reported from those on hormone replacement therapy and those who followed their parents or parents-in-law advice regarding Sanhujori (postnatal care) 4. There were statistically significant differences in the score of middle-aged women's self reported management of menopause according to : The educational background (F=7.63, p<0.001), religion (F=3.74, p<0.001), income (F=3.65, p<0.001), number of parity (F=4.87, p<0.001), method of Sanhujori(postnatal care) (F=5.73, p<0.001), period of Sanhujori (postnatal care) (F=2.81, p<0.05), hormone replacement therapy (t=3.81, p<0.001). Women with higher educational background, strong religion, higher income, large number of parity, managed their post natal care well, were on HRT, managed their menopause significantly better than the others who took part in the survey. 5. It will be noted from the above that women's degree of climacteric symptoms showed a negative correlation to the management of menopause(r=-0.2146, p<0.001). The findings shown above suggest the need to develop a variable management of menopause, in order to improve climacteric symptoms of middle-aged women. It is hoped that the above findings will stimulate more detailed research into this matter, and thereby enable guidance to be given to women going through the menopause to cope with it in a less stressful way.

본 연구는 경남 일부 초등학교 비만아동을 대상으로 식습관, 영양교육에 대한 인식, 영양지식을 조사하여 분석한 자료를 바탕으로 비만아동의 영양교육을 위한 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 아동의 신체적 특징으로 신장은 남학생과 여학생 간에 유의적인 차이는 없으며 체중은 남학생(55.0${\pm}$9.0 kg)이 여학생(52.0${\pm}$9.4 kg)보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 2. 전체 아동의 83.5%가 영양교육을 받아본 경험이 없다고 답하였으며 80.3%가 영양교육의 필요하다고 답하여 영양교육에 대한 관심도가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 희망하는 영양교육 내용에는 '체중 감소를 위한 식사조절법(64.7%)', '올바른 간식(12.2%)'으로 조사되었다. 희망하는 영양교육 방법으로 남학생은 '게임(35.4%)', '강의(18.8%)', '조리실습(16.7)', '개인상담(16.7%)' 순으로, 여학생은 '조리실습(25.6%)', '개인상담(25.6%)', '강의(11.6%)', '그림그리기(11.6%)'로 나타나 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 아동의 식사속도는 남학생이 여학생보다 식사속도가 유의적으로 빠른 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 5. 운동종목에서 남학생이 '가벼운 레포츠활동(27.0%)'과 '구기종목(25.4%)'을 여학생은 '가벼운 레포츠 활동(47.9%)'과 '걷기(25.4%)'를 선호하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 운동장소로 남학생이 여학생에 비해 운동장 등 활발한 장소를 선택하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 6. 영양교육 수업지도안 개발은 비만 개선을 위한 올바른 식습관과 영양지식을 교육하기 위해 13차시 분량의 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 개발된 초등학교 고학년용 영양교육 교수 학습지도안은 비만 정의 알기, 자신의 모습 사랑하기, 식사와 관련된 감각 익히기, 식품군 알기, 아침결식개선, 편식개선, 올바른 간식선택, 외식의 8개 대주제와 13개의 소주제로 구성된 13차시였다. 본 연구의 수업지도안을 활용하여 실제로 수업하여 그 효과판정을 하지 못했으므로 그에 대한 후속 연구가 이루어져야 하며 비만인구는 점점 증가하고 세계적으로 문제시되고 있지만 이에 대한 교육방법 개발과 실제 교육은 학교에서 거의 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 앞으로 비만문제를 단순히 가정에 맡기거나 의학적인 문제로 방치하기 보다는 그 예방차원이 우선시되어 아이들의 교육을 담당하고 있는 학교에서 식습관 관련 수업이 영양교사에 의해서 이루어지는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.
