Twenty analogs of $[Orn^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor$ were synthesized and assayed for their biological activities: seven analogs of $[Orn^6,X^9]{\alpha}-factor$, seven analogs of $[X^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor$, five analogs of $[X^5,X^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor$, and native ${\alpha}-factor$ (X = amino acids). Their biological activities (halo, gene induction, and affinity) were measured using S. cerevisiae Y7925 and LM102 and compared with those of native ${\alpha}-factor$ (100%). G protein-coupled receptor was expressed in strain LM102 containing pESC-LEU-STE2 vector. $[Dap^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor$ with weak halo activity (10%) showed the highest receptor affinity (> 230%) and the highest gene induction activity (167%). $[Arg^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor$ showed the highest halo activity (2,000%). The number of active binding sites per cell (about 20,000 for strain LM102) was determined using a newly-designed fluorescence-based detector, $[Arg^6,D-Ala^9]{\alpha}-factor-Edan$, with high sensitivity (12,500-fold higher than the absorption-based detector $[Orn^6]{\alpha}-factor-[Cys]_3$).

Woody plant tissues contain great amounts of phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. These substances inhibit the activation of reverse transcriptase and/or Taq polymerase in RT-PCR. The commonly used multiple-step protocols using several additives to diminish polyphenolic compounds during nucleic acid extraction are time consuming and laborious. In this study, sodium sulfite was evaluated as an additive for nucleic acid extraction from woody plants and the efficiency of RT-PCR assay of commercial nucleic acid extraction kits and small-scale dsRNA extraction was compared. Sodium sulfite was used as an inhibitor against polyphenolic oxidases and its effects were compared in RNA extraction by commercial extraction kit and small-scale double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) extraction method for RT-PCR. During nucleic acid extraction, addition of 0.5%-1.5%(w/v) of sodium sulfite to lysis buffer or STE buffer resulted in lighter browning by oxidation than extracts without sodium sulfite and improved the RT-PCR detection. When commercial RNA extraction kit was used, optimal concentrations of sodium sulfite were variable according to the tested plant. However, with dsRNA as RT-PCR template, sodium sulfite 1.5% in STE buffer improved the detection efficiency of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) in fruit trees, and reduced the unspecific amplifications signi-ficantly. Furthermore, when viruses existed at low titers in host plant, small-scale dsRNA extractions were very reliable.

We assessed the regulation of cryparin, a class II hydrophobin, using three representative mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in Cryphonectria parasitica. Mutation of the CpSlt2 gene, an ortholog of yeast SLT2 in the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway, resulted in a dramatic decrease in cryparin production. Similarly, a mutant of the CpBck1 gene, a MAP kinase kinase kinase gene in the CWI pathway, showed decreased cryparin production. Additionally, mutation of the cpmk1 gene, an ortholog of yeast HOG1, showed decreased cryparin production. However, mutation of the cpmk2 gene, an ortholog of yeast Kss1/Fus3, showed increased cryparin production. The easy-wet phenotype and accumulation of the cryparin transcript in corresponding mutants were consistent with the cryparin production results. In silico analysis of the promoter region of the cryparin gene revealed the presence of binding motifs related to downstream transcription factors of CWI, HOG1, and pheromone responsive pathways including MADS-box- and Ste12-binding domains. Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR analyses indicated that both CpRlm1, an ortholog of yeast RLM1 in the CWI pathway, and cpst12, an ortholog of yeast STE12 in the mating pathway, showed significantly reduced transcription levels in the mutant strains showing lower cryparin production in C. prasitica. However, the transcription of CpMcm1, an ortholog of yeast MCM1, did not correlate with that of the mutant strains showing downregulation of cryparin. These results indicate that three representative MAPK pathways played a role in regulating cryparin production. However, regulation varied depending on the MAPK pathways: the CWI and HOG1 pathways were stimulatory, whereas the pheromone-responsive MAPK was repressive.

Background: Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), a neurodegenerative disease leading to reduced dopamine production, is a common disease in aged horses. The treatment is based on administration of the dopamine agonist pergolide. This drug has been related to valvular fibrosis in humans, but the cardiovascular effect of this drug has not yet been investigated in horses. Objectives: To determine whether pergolide induces valvular disease in horses or affects the cardiac function. Methods: Standard, tissue Doppler (TDE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking (STE) echocardiography were performed in horses with diagnosed PPID based on adrenocorticotropic hormone dosage. Measurements taken in horses treated with pergolide were compared with those from untreated horses with nonparametric t-tests. Furthermore, measurements from follow-up examinations performed at least three months after the initial exam were compared with a Wilcoxon signed rank test for repeated measurements in each group. Results: Twenty-three horses were included. None of the 12 horses under treatment developed valvular regurgitation. Furthermore, no differences in the measurements of the left ventricular systolic or diastolic function could be seen between the group of horses with treatment and those without treatment. Measurements taken in the follow-up exam did not differ compared to those taken in the initial exam in both groups. Conclusions: No changes of the left ventricular function assessed by TDE and STE could be shown in a small population of horses with confirmed PPID. Treatment with pergolide did not affect the ventricular function nor induce valvular disease.

A vegetative filter strip (VFS) is one of the best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of VFS in dense upland field areas. The study areas are agricultural fields in the Maedae (MD), Gaa (GA), and Jaun (JU) watersheds, where severe sediment yields have occurred and the Korean government has designated them as non-point management regions. The agricultural fields were divided into three or four clusters for each watershed based on their slope, slope length, and area (e.g., MD1, MD2). To assess the sediment trapping (STE) and pesticide reduction efficiency (PRE) of VFS, the Vegetative Filter Strip Modeling System (VFSMOD) was applied with three different scenarios (SC) (SC1: VFS with rye vegetation; SC2: VFS with rye vegetation and a gentle slope in VFS range; and SC3: VFS with grass mixture). For SC1, there were relatively short slope lengths and small areas in the MD1 and GA3 clusters, and they showed higher pollutant reduction (STE>50%, PRE>25%). For SC2 and SC3, all clusters in GA and some clusters (MD1 and MD3) in MD show higher pollutant reduction (>25%), while the uplands in JU still show a lower pollutant (<25%). With correlation analysis between geographic characteristics and VFS effectiveness slope and slope length showed relative higher correlations with the pollutant efficiency than a area. The results of this study implied that slope and slope length should be considered to find suitable upland conditions for VFS installations.

최근 영상 의학 분야의 발전으로 인한 보편화와 일본의 후쿠시마 원전사태가 일어나면서 방사선 노출에 대한 대중들의 관심이 높아지게 되었다. 이러한 방사선 피폭에 대한 대중들의 관심으로 현재 거의 대부분의 PET/CT검사에서 사용되고 있는 AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) 시스템은 환자의 피폭선량 감소를 위해 피사체의 두께에 따라 최적의 관전류를 조사한다. 또한, 서울아산병원에서는 전신 PET/CT 검사 시선속 경화 인공물(Beam hardening artifact)의 발생을 줄이기 위해 환자의 팔을 머리 위로 올리고 검사를 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전신 PET/CT검사 시 환자의 팔 위치에 따라 AEC 시스템을 적용한 CT 유효선량의 차이를 비교하고자 한다. 2008년 12월부터 2011년 7월까지 서울아산병원 핵의학과를 내원하여 동일 장비에서 팔을 올렸을 경우와 팔을 내렸을 경우의 전신 18F-FDG PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 45명을 연구의 대상으로 하였고, 실험 장비는 Biograph Truepoint 40 (Bio 40), Biograph Sensation 16 (Bio 16), Discovery STe 8 (DSTe 8)을 사용하였다. 각 장비당 15명의 동일 환자를 대상으로, 팔을 올리고 검사하였을 경우와 팔을 내리고 검사하였을 경우의 CT 유효선량을 산출하여 비교 분석하였다. CT 유효선량의 측정 방법은 ImPACT v1.0 프로그램을 사용하였다. 이 연구를 통해 팔을 올리고 검사한 경우에 팔을 내리고 검사한 경우보다 총 15.2%의 환자 유효선량이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전신 PET/CT 검사 시 환자의 팔을 올린 자세는 선속 경화 인공물 발생을 줄이고, 영상의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

표준섭취계수(SUV) PET과 영상 재구성 방법에 따라 크게 달라진다. 삼성 서울병원 핵의학과에 설치된 GE사의 Discovery MIDR와 Discovery Ste의 영상 재구성 알고리즘을 이용하여 의인화몸통팬텀 내의 심장, 간과 배경영역에서 표준섭취계수를 측정하여 실제 SUV와 비교하였다. 영상 재구성 알고리즘은 MIDR에서는 VPFX-S (TOF+PSF), QCFX-S-350 (Q.Clear+TOF+PSF), QCFX-S-50와 VPHD-S (OSEM+PSF), Ste에서는 VUE Point (OSEM)와 FORE-FBP를 사용하였다. 방사선사의 방사선 피폭을 감소시키기 위하여 소량의 ¹⁸F-FDG 선원을 물과 혼합하였다: 52.5 ml 심장에는 2.28 MBq, 1,290 ml 간에는 20.3 MBq와 9,590 ml 배경영역에는 45.7 MBq을 주입하였다. 심장에서의 표준섭취계수는 MIDR의 VPFX-S, QCFX-S-350, QCFX-S-50, VPHD-S와 Ste의 VUE Point (OSEM)와 FOR-FBP 알고리즘에서 각각 27.1, 28.0, 27.1, 26.5, 8.0와 7.4 이었으며, 기대치는 5.9이었다. 배경역역에서는 4.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.1, 1.1와 1.2 이었으며, 기대치는 0.8이었다. 각 영역에서 표준섭취계수는 PET과 알고리즘에 따라 크게 차이가 있었지만, 심장과 배경영역의 SUV 비율은 비교적 일정하여 6개 영상 재구성 알고리즘에 대하여 6.5, 6.8, 6.5, 6.5, 7.3와 6.2 이었으며 기대치는 7.8이었다. 심장에서의 평균 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)는 각각 6개 알고리즘에 대하여 8.3, 12.8, 8.3, 8.4, 17.2와 16.6이었다. 결론적으로 PET 성능 평가는 각 영역에서의 절댓값 보다는 두 영역 사이의 SUV 비율이 적절하며, 비교적 소량의 방사능으로도 확인할 수 있는 가능성이 있다.
