Formation of toxic protein aggregates is a common feature and mainly contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases. The transglutaminase 2 (TG2) gene encodes a multifunctional enzyme, displaying four types of activity, such as transamidation, GTPase, protein disulfide isomerase, and protein kinase activities. Many studies demonstrated that the calcium-dependent transamidation activity of TG2 affects the formation of insoluble and toxic amyloid aggregates that mainly consisted of NDD-related proteins. So far, many important and NDD-related substrates of TG2 have been identified, including $amlyoid-{\beta}$, tau, ${\alpha}-synuclein$, mutant huntingtin, and ALS-linked trans-activation response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43. Recently, the formation of toxic inclusions mediated by several TG2 substrates were efficiently inhibited by TG2 inhibitors. Therefore, the development of highly specific TG2 inhibitors would be an important tool in alleviating the progression of TG2-related brain disorders. In this review, the authors discuss recent advances in TG2 biochemistry, several mechanisms of molecular regulation and pleotropic signaling functions, and the presumed role of TG2 in the progression of many NDDs.

방사선의 출력선량계수는 모든 선량계획과 치료선량결정에 영향을 주게 되므로, 정확한 선량평가가 강조되고 있다. 저자들은 물흡수선량을 결정하는 선량프로토콜을 종전의 TG-21에서 TG-51로 전환하여 2007년부터 새로운 버전과 새로운 공동전리함으로 선량을 평가하기 위해 SSDL의 $N_k$를 $N_{dw}{^{Co-60}}$로 변환하여 적용하였다, 평가된 물흡수선량계수는 치료선량결정과 RPC의 선량모니터링을 통해 비교되었으며, 선량평가는 2% 이내를 보였지만 불안정성을 확인하게 되었으며, 선량평가과정을 후향적으로 모니터하였다. 점검결과 새 전리함의 교정계수가 -2.8% 낮은 것을 확인하고 PSDL의 물흡수선량교정계수를 구하여 출력선량계수를 구하였으며, 선량평가 결과 2010년부터 안정되었고 지속적으로 1% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다.

닭고기 패티에 소금함량을 줄이며 칼슘을 강화하기 위해 패각칼슘분말(SCP)을 첨가하며, 물성을 개선하기 위해 트랜스글루타미나아제(TG)를 첨가했을 때 나타나는 영향을 확인하기 위해 첨가하는 소금과 SCP, TG의 함량을 달리한 5개의 처리구(CON, 소금 2%; T1, 소금 0.75% + SCP 0.2%; T2, 소금 0.75% + SCP 0.2% + TG 0.2%; T3, 소금 0.5% + SCP 0.4%; T4, 소금 0.5% + SCP 0.4% + TG 0.2%)를 제조하여 패티의 육질특성 및 저장성을 비교 분석하였다. 닭고기 패티에 소금 첨가량을 낮췄을 때 회분 함량이 감소했으며 가열감량이 증가했다. 그리고 SCP와 TG를 첨가할수록 pH가 상승하였다. 소금, SCP, TG의 첨가량에 따른 육색의 변화는 없었으며, TG 없이 소금 0.5%와 SCP 0.4%를 첨가했을 때 경도와 씹음성이 감소했다. 소금을 0.5%로 줄이며 SCP 0.4%를 첨가했을 때 관능적으로 다즙성이 떨어진다는 평가를 받았지만 전체기호도를 포함한 나머지 관능평가항목에서는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 소금의 첨가량은 닭고기패티의 TBARS 결과에 영향을 주지 않았지만, 소금을 적게 첨가할 시 미생물 오염에 취약해질 수 있다는 결과를 보였다. 이를 통해 닭고기 패티에 소금을 줄이면서 SCP를 첨가하는 것은 관능적으로 큰 영향을 주지 않지만, 소금을 0.5% 이하로 첨가 시 패티의 물성에 부정적인 영향을 줌으로 TG의 첨가를 고려해야 한다. 또한 소금 첨가량이 감소할 시 미생물로 인한 저장성에 취약해지므로 제조 시 이에 대한 추가 첨가물을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this cross sectional case control study was to examine the serofrequency and serointensity of Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) IgG, IgM, and DNA among patients with schizophrenia. A total of 101 patients with schizophrenia and 55 healthy controls from Sungai Buloh Hospital, Selangor, Malaysia and University Malaya Medical Center (UMMC) were included in this study. The diagnosis of schizophrenia was made based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). The presence of Tg infection was examined using both indirect (ELISA) and direct (quantitative real-time PCR) detection methods by measuring Tg IgG and IgM and DNA, respectively. The serofrequency of Tg IgG antibodies (51.5%, 52/101) and DNA (32.67%, 33/101) among patients with schizophrenia was significantly higher than IgG (18.2%, 10/55) and DNA (3.64%, 2/55) of the controls (IgG, P=0.000, OD=4.8, CI=2.2-10.5; DNA, P=0.000, OD=12.9, CI=2.17-10.51). However, the Tg IgM antibody between patients with schizophrenia and controls was not significant (P>0.005). There was no significant difference (P>0.005) in both serointensity of Tg IgG and DNA between patients with schizophrenia and controls. These findings have further demonstrated the strong association between the active Tg infection and schizophrenia.

Purpose: The authors used a meta-analysis approach to investigate the effects of exercise on gender-specific triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in obese adolescents. Methods: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis study to confirm the effect of exercise intervention according to gender for obese adolescents. PICO were obese a adolescents, exercise intervention, comparative intervention (control and general group),TG and HDL-C. Results: The group of obese male adolescents showed a statistically significant decrease of 51.72 in TG (n=175, MD=-51.72; 95% CI -52.44 to -51.00).There was a statistically significant increase of 4.44 in HDL-C (n=175, MD=4.44; 95% CI 3.79 to 5.10) in the group of obese male adolescents. Conclusion: Triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were analyzed to determine the effect of exercise interventions in obese adolescents according to gender differences. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the design of future exercise intervention studies, subjects, exercise methods, and intervention periods.

In this study the quantity and the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were investigated with using gas chromatography after non-polar lipid of the flint corn in the growing period was extracted with the solution of chloroform : methanol (2 : 1) and then separated by the SACC method. Neutral lipid was separated into monoglyceride(MG), 1, 3-diglyceride (1, 3-DG) , free fatty acid (FFA) , triglyceride (TG), cholesteryl ester (CE). Fatty acid of each spot was mainly composed of linoleic , oleic and palmitic acids. Lonolieic acid decreased in MG(54.5-51.4%), CE(31.3-28.9%) but increased ini TG(57.2-63.8%) during growth process. Olec acid increased in MG(25.7-29.3%), 1, 3-DG(24.7-28.9%), CE(16.7-19.9%) but decreased in TG28.6-23.1%). Palmitic acid decreased in MG(12.8-11.5%), FFA(25.7-24.1%), TG(10.4-9.3%) but increased in CE(26.4-31.5%) during a growth process. The ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acid in TG(7.01-7.84%) was higher in five spots of neutral lipid and in 1, 3-DG(4.61-4.16%) decreased growth process but increased in MG(5.06-5.60%), TG(7.01-7.84%).

Experimental error sources for thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) were investigated and sample preparation method to reduce the experimental error was suggested. Maximum dissociation temperatures of EVA for the first and second dissociation reactions ($T_{m1}$ and $T_{m2}$, respectively) were measured. By decreasing the weight of raw EVA, the $T_{m1}$ increased but the the $T_{m2}$ decreased. When weight of the raw EVA was over 10 mg, the TGA curve showed abnormal behaviors. The abnormal TG behaviors were explained by gathering and instantaneous evaporation of acetic acid formed by deacetylation of the VA unit. When TGA analysis of EVA was performed using untreated (raw) EVA, the experimental errors were about 1%. In order to eliminate the abnormal TG behaviors and to reduce the experimental errors, EVA film made by solvent casting was used. For the treated EVA (EVA film), the abnormal TG behaviors did not appear, the $T_{m1}$ decreased by about $2^{\circ}C$ but the $T_{m2}$ increased by about $6^{\circ}C$, and the experimental errors were reduced by 0.5%.

본 논문에서는 수동형 900MHz RFID 태그 칩용 로직 공정 기반 저면적.저전력 1Kb EEPROM를 설계하였다. 1Kb 셀 배열 (cell array)은 1 워드 (word)의 EEPROM 팬텀 셀 (phantom cell)을 2차원 배열 형태인 (16행 ${\times}$ 16열) ${\times}$ 4블록으로 구성하였으며, 4개의 메모리 블록이 CG (Control Gate)와 TG (Tunnel Gate) 구동회로를 공유하므로 저면적 IP 설계를 하였다. TG 구동회로를 공유하기 위해 소자간의 전압을 신뢰성이 보장되는 5.5V 이내로 유지하면서 동작 모드별 TG 바이어스 전압을 스위칭해 주는 TG 스위치 회로를 제안하였다. 그리고 4 메모리 블록 중 하나의 블록만 활성화하는 partial activation 방식을 사용하므로 읽기 모드에서 전력소모를 줄였다. 그리고 하나의 열 (column)당 연결되는 셀의 수를 줄이므로 읽기 모드에서 BL (Bit-Line)의 스위칭 시간을 빠르게 하여 액세스 시간 (access time)을 줄였다. Tower $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 (32행 ${\times}$ 16열) ${\times}$ 2블록과 (16행 ${\times}$ 16열) ${\times}$ 4블록의 2가지 배열 형태의 1Kb EEPROM IP를 설계하였으며, (16행 ${\times}$ 16열) ${\times}$ 4블록의 IP가 (32행 ${\times}$ 16열) ${\times}$ 2블록의 IP에 비해 레이아웃 면적은 11.9% 줄였으며, 읽기 모드 시 전력소모는 51% 줄였다.

Nine polymorphic modifications of doxazosin mesylate have been obtained by recrystallization in organic solvents under variable conditions. Different polymorphs of doxazosin mesylate were characterized by powder X-ray crystallography diffractometry (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). Transformation of Form 1 and Form 2 was not occurred in three relative humidities ($0\%$, $51\%$, and $99\%$) at 20$\pm$0.5 for 30 days.
