To obtain a basic information of breeding for resistance to clubroot in Chinese cabbage, disease incidence, pathogenicity, and varietal response to the pathogen were studied. Incidence of clubroot was observed at 3 districts in Gyeonggi-Do, 2 districts in Kangwon-Do, and 1 district each in Gyeongnam, Geongbuk and Jeonbuk, respectively. Disease infection rate and diseased ara were most severe in northern part of Gyeonggi-Do. The isolates of clubroot collected from 8 different districts were not different in their virulence one another in view of their infection rate and disease severity in Chinese cabbage. The clubroot fungus had a wide host range for the cruciferous vegetables. Disease severity was high in rape, turnip and mustard, moderate in Chinese cabbage and broccoli, and low in kale and cauliflower. All of Korean hybrids of Chinese cabbage tested were highly susceptible to clubroot, but Japanese varieties were resistant to the highly pathogenic isolate (EJ-93) which was isolated from the Chinese cabbage in Korea. The hybrid(F1) between clubroot resistant line(930WG) and the susceptible line(332MS) showed completely resistant reaction, which indicated that clubroot resistance was governed by a dominant gene.

This experiment was conducted to examine ginseng lines resistant and susceptible to high-temperature injury and to investigate characteristics of the selected lines: leaf burning phenomenon, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and maximum light interception rate. The leaf burning phenomenon incidence rates of the resistant lines Yunpoong, high-temperature injury resistance (HTIR)1, HTIR2, and HTIR3 were low: 5.8%, 3.6%, 4.0%, and 1.9%, respectively. Resistance of the susceptible lines Chunpoong, high-temperature injury susceptible (HTIS)1, and HTIS2 was high: 58.5%, 23.2%, and 21.7%, respectively. The chlorophyll content (SPAD value) of the resistant lines Yunpoong, HTIR1, HTIR2, and HTIR3, which were exposed to high temperatures and intense light, remained as high at 24.8, 27.9, 24.9, and 30.6, respectively, but that of the susceptible lines Chunpoong, HTIS1, and HTIS2 was low at 21.0, 21.1, and 20.1, respectively. During the summer season, the quantum yield of the resistant lines (Yunpoong, HTIR1, HTIR2, and HTIR3) changed little, but that of the susceptible lines (Chunpoong, HTIS1, and HTIS2) changed dramatically. The maximum light interception rate (Fm/Fv value) for the resistant lines (Yunpoong, HTIR1, HTIR2, and HTIR3) was as high as 0.848, 0.794, 0.805, and 0.813, respectively, while that of the susceptible lines (Chunpoong, HTIS1, and HTIS2) was 0.678, 0.642, and 0.717, respectively. Based on these results, the high-temperature injury-resistant lines seemed to be less susceptible to high light, even at high temperatures. Future studies on red ginseng quality and its active ingredients in resistant ginseng lines and field experimentation will be conducted to verify the potential of the resistant lines.

Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a spectrum of disease with abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. Treatment is based on FIGO stage and WHO risk factor scores. Patients whose score is 12 or more are considered as at extremely high risk with a high likelihood of resistance to first line treatment. Optimal therapy is therefore controversial. Objective: This study was conducted in order to summarize the regimen used for extremely high risk or resistant GTN patients in our institution the in past 10 years. Materials and Methods: All the charts of GTN patients classified as extremely high risk, recurrent or resistant during 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2011 were reviewed. Criteria for diagnosis of GTN were also assessed to confirm the diagnosis. FIGO stage and WHO risk prognostic score were also re-calculated to ensure the accuracy of the information. Patient characteristics were reviewed in the aspects of age, weight, height, BMI, presenting symptoms, metastatic area, lesions, FIGO stage, WHO risk factor score, serum hCG level, treatment regimen, adjuvant treatments, side effects and response to treatment, including disease free survival. Results: Eight patients meeting the criteria of extremely high risk or resistant GTN were included in this review. Mean age was 33.6 years (SD=13.5, range 17-53). Of the total, 3 were stage III (37.5%) and 5 were stage IV (62.5%). Mean duration from previous pregnancies to GTN was 17.6 months (SD 9.9). Mean serum hCG level was 864,589 mIU/ml (SD 98,151). Presenting symptoms of the patients were various such as hemoptysis, abdominal pain, headache, heavy vaginal bleeding and stroke. The most commonly used first line chemotherapeutic regimen in our institution was the VAC regimen which was given to 4 of 8 patients in this study. The most common second line chemotherapy was EMACO. Adjuvant radiation was given to most of the patients who had brain metastasis. Most of the patients have to delay chemotherapy for 1-2 weeks due to grade 2-3 leukopenia and require G-CSF to rescue from neutropenia. Five form 8 patients were still survived. Mean of disease free survival was 20.4 months. Two patients died of the disease, while another one patient died from sepsis of pressure sore wound. None of surviving patients developed recurrence of disease after complete treatment. Conclusions: In extremely high risk GTN patients, main treatment is multi-agent chemotherapy. In our institution, we usually use VAC as a first line treatment of high risk GTN, but since resistance is quite common, this may not suitable for extremely high risk GTN patients. The most commonly used second line multi-agent chemotherapy in our institution is EMA-CO. Adjuvant brain radiation was administered to most of the patients with brain metastasis in our institution. The survival rate is comparable to previous reviews. Our treatment demonstrated differences from other institutions but the survival is comparable. The limitation of this review is the number of cases is small due to rarity of the disease. Further trials or multicenter analyses may be considered.

Anticancer drug resistance occasionally occurs in malignant hematologic diseases such as acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) treated with chemotherapy and is a major problem to complete remission. Malignant cells primarily induce intrinsic resistance to treatment of anticancer drug, but gradually obtain acquired resistance to cytotoxic activities of chemotherapy. In this study, we monitored the expression profiles of doxorubicin resistance-related genes in AML-2/DX100, a doxorubicin-resistant human acute myelocytic leukemia cell line. (omitted)

The RNA genome of poliovirus encodes a long polyprotein precursor and this polyprotein is cleaved proteolytically by viral protease to yield mature proteins. The mature proteins derived from the P1 polyprotein precursor are the component of capsids. To further delineate the process of capsid assembly and encapsidation, in a first attempt, a cell line which expresses the authentic P1 polyprotein was established. CV-1 cells were transfected with the pRCRSVS1P1 plasmid DNA which contains 5'ncr sequences, whole authentic capsid gene of poliovirus and neomycin resistance gene. These cells were treated with G418 for 3 months, and eventually G418 resistant cells were selected and formed colonies. Each colony was picked and grown in the media containing G418. DNA analysis indicated that 1 of 13 neomycin resistant cell lines (R2-18) contains whole poliovirus P1 capsid gene segment which was incorporated into the genome. Immuneprecipitation of cell lysates with sera from rabbit immunized with inactivateded Sabin type 1 particles demonstrated the constitutive expression of the poliovirus P1 capsid protein from R2-18.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major impediment to successful chemotherapy of gastric cancer. Our aim was to establish an epirubicin-resistant cell subline (AGS/EPI) and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in acquired EPI resistance. The AGS/EPI cell subline developed by exposing parental AGS cells to stepwise increasing concentrations of EPI demonstrated 2.52-fold resistance relative to the AGS cell line, and mRNA expression of the ATP-dependent drug-efflux pump P-glycoprotein (Pgp), more recently known as ABCB1 protein, was similarly upregulated. An AGS/EPI cell subline could thus be effectively established, and MDR mechanism of these cells was shown to be related to the overexpression of mRNA of the ABCB1 gene.

A total of 98 strains of Bordetella bronckiseptica isolated from pigs affected the infectious atrophic rhinitis(AR) during 1978 were surveyed for drug sensitivity to 26 chemotherapeutic agents, and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), incidence rate of resistant strain and resistant patern from the strains which were obtained from the different pig farm in Jeonnam province were examined. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Most of the strains tested were resistant to Ampicillin (AB, PC), spiramycin(SPO, sulfa drugs (SD) (MIC:$400.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and streptomycin(SM) (MIC:$200.0{{\mu}g/ml}$). Of the 75.0% of strains were also resistant to penicillin(PC) (MIC:$200.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and of the 14.3 of strains were inhibited to grow to tetracycline(TC), chlortetracycline(CTC), oxytetracyc-line(OTC), erythromycin(EM), tylosin(TS), leucomycin (LM) and chloramphenicol (CP) (MIC:$6.25{{\mu}g/ml}$). On the other hand, most of the strains tested were inhibited to grow to kanamycin(KM), gentamycin(GM) neomycin(NM) (MIC:$25.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and to colistin(CL) (MIC:$12.5{{\mu}g/ml}$). 2. Incidence rate of resistant strains to main chemotherapeutic agents was 100.0% of sulfa drugs, 96.4% of streptomycin, 85.7% of penicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and erythromycin, 46.4% of gentamycin, 17.9% of colistin and 0.0% of kanamycin and nalidixic acid.

In this study, we used two breeds of chicken to identify genomic regions corresponding to necrotic enteritis (NE) resistance. We scanned the genomes of a resistant and susceptible line of Fayoumi and White Leghorn chickens (20 birds/line) using a chicken 60 K Illumina SNP panel. A total of 235 loci with divergently fixed alleles were identified across the genome in both breeds; particularly, several clusters of multiple loci with fixed alleles were found in five narrow regions. Moreover, consensus 15-SNP haplotypes that were shared by the resistant lines of both breeds were identified on chromosomes 3, 7 and 9. Genes responsible for NE resistance were identified in chicken lines selected for resistance and susceptibility. Annotation of the regions spanning clustered divergently fixed regions revealed a set of interesting candidate genes such as phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory subunit 5, p101 (PIK3R5) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1 (ITPR1), which participate in immune response. Consensus haplotypes were found in regions containing possibly relevant genes, such as myostatin and myosin, which play important roles in muscle development. Thus, genome scans of divergent selection in multiple chicken lines and breeds can be used to identify genomic regions associated with NE resistance.
