$PKC{\delta}$-catalytic V5 Heptapeptide (FEQFLDI, FP7) interacts with heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and inhibits HSP27-mediated resistance to cell death against various stimuli including radiation therapy. Here, we prepared radio-iodinated heptapeptide and further investigated its uptake properties in HSP27 expression cells. Peptide sequence of FP7 and a negative control peptide (WSLLEKR, QP7) was modified by substituting their C-terminus residue to tyrosine (FP6Y and QP6Y) to label radio-iodine. Iodinated peptides were confirmed by LC mass analysis with cold iodine reaction mixture. Accumulation of [$^{125}I$]iodo-FP6Y and [$^{125}I$]iodo-QP6Y in NCI-H1299 cell line, with higher level of HSP27, and NCI-H460 cell line, with lower level of HSP27, was measured by NaI(Tl) scintillation counter. The modification of substituting C-terminus residue of FP7 to tyrosine (FP6Y) did not affect its interaction with HSP27. Accumulation of [$^{125}I$]iodo-FP6Y in NCI-H1299 cells was 3 fold higher than in NCI-H460 cells. The novel radio-iodinated FP6Y would be used as a tracer for targeting HSP27 protein.

The effects of regular endurance exercise, or acute-exercise and rest on the levels of lipids, carnitines and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were exercise trained on a treadmill for 60 min per day for 60 days (long-term trained, LT), or non-trained for 59 days (NT) and exercised for 60 min on the 60th day. In NT rats, the levels of serum nonesterified carnitine (NEC), acidsoluble acylcarnitine (ASAC), and total carnitine (TONE) increased significantly during the post-exercise recovery period (PERP). In LT rats, ASAC, and TCNE, which increased right after the 60 min running session decreased to the levels of pre-exercise during the PERP. The levels of skeletal muscle ASAC in NT rats, which increased significantly by the acute-exercise, decreased to the pre-exercise levels during the PERP. However, the ASAC level in LT rats reached its peak at 4 h after running for 60 min. Liver triglyceride (TG) and total lipids (TL), which increased by the acute-exercise, decreased to the pre-exercise levels during the PERP in both NT and LT rats. CPT-I activity in NT rats increased significantly after 1 h of a 60-min exercise and slowly decreased to pre-exercise levels during the PERP. However, the CPT-I activity in LT rats, which increased significantly by the 60 min exercise, decreased slowly and reached its pre-exercise level within 8 h of the PERP. Northern blot analysis showed that the changes of CPT-I activities during the PERP coincided with changes in CPT-I mRNA levels. This study shows that both regular endurance exercise, and acute-exercise and rest, can influence differently the levels of carnitines, lipids and CPT-I in rats. The results suggest that regular endurance exercise, rather than the acute-exercise, can change effectively the distributions of carnitines, lipids and CPT-I in rats during exercise and rest.

산소분압비에 따른 ZnO 박막의 성장특성을 알아보기 위해 RF 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 $0%{\sim}30%$의 산소분압비로 박막을 제작하였다. 위상변조방식의 분광타원계를 이용하여 $1.5{\sim}3.8eV$ 범위에 걸쳐 타원상수를 측정하였고, TL 분산관계식을 이용하여 최적맞춤한 결과 박막과 표면기칠기층의 두께, void 비율을 알 수 있었고, ZnO 알갱이의 크기는 산소분압비의 증가에 따라 그 크기가 작아짐을 알 수 있었다. 산소분압비에 따른 ZnO 박막의 밴드 갭은 산소유입량의 증가에 따라 증가하여 ZnO 박막의 광흡수 특성이 산소분압비에 크게 의존함을 알았고, 산소분압비의 증가는 결정의 불완전성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Bacterial strain No. P08 isolated from wastewater at the Cheongju industrial complex was found to be capable of degrading 4-chlorobenzoate under aerobic condition. P08 was identified as Comamonas sp. from its cellular fatty acid composition and 16S rDNA sequence. The fcb genes, responsible for the hydrolytic dechlorination of 4-chlorobenzoate, were cloned from the plasmid pJJl of Comamonas sp. P08. The fcb gene cluster of comamonas sp. PO8 was organized in the order fcbB-fcbA-fcbTl-fcbT2-fcbT3-fcbC. This organization of the fcb genes was very similar to that of the fcb genes carried on the chromosomal DNA of pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. However, it differed from the fcbA-fcbB -fcbC ordering of Arthrobacter sp. SU. The nucleotide sequences of the fcbABC genes of strain P08 showed 98% and 53% identities to those of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 and Arthrobacter sp. SU, respectively. This suggests that the fcb genes might have been derived from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 to form plasmid pJSl in Comamonas sp. P08, or that the fcb genes in strain DJ-12 were transposed from Comamonas sp. P08 plasmid.

Seventeen specimens of leptocephali [9.8-44.5 mm total length (TL)], of the family Ophichthidae, were collected from southeastern waters off Jeju Island and the Korea-Japan intermediate zone, and identified by means of morphology and genetics. These specimens were identified as belonging to the subfamily Ophichthinae based on various combinations of morphological characters: 211-215 total myomeres; 7 gut swellings; 2 liver lobes connected with the gall bladder on the second lobe; 6-7 postanal pigments present from anus to caudal margin. An analysis of the partial 12S rRNA sequences (849 base pairs) of mitochondrial DNA showed that our specimens must be Ophisurus macrorhynchos because their sequences were concordant with those of the adult O. macrorhynchos (genetic distance = 0.000). Furthermore, their total myomeres were consistent with those of the O. macrorhynchos adult. This is the first time that the morphological characteristics of O. macrorhynchos leptocephali have been described for Korean waters, and we suggest diagnostic characteristics for the genus Ophisurus leptocephali. We hypothesize that one of the spawning grounds of O. macrorhynchos is located in the southeastern part of Jeju Island.

본 논문에서는 배열센서에서 DOA(Direction Of Arrival)를 수행하는 경우 크래머 라오 하한을 이용하여 표적신호가 수신되는 방위오차의 최소분산을 계산하고, 탐지 방위오차 및 위치추정 거리오차를 추정하는 방안을 제시한다. 신호 대 잡음비는 DOA의 정확도 즉, 표적의 탐지 방위오차 및 위치추정 거리오차를 결정한다. 일반적으로 신호대 잡음비는 음원준위, 소음준위, 전달손실, 배열센서의 형상, 빔 조향 방위에 따라 달라진다. 표적의 공간상 상대적 위치와 소음준위가 달라지는 경우, 신호 대 잡음비의 변화에 따른 탐지 방위오차 및 위치추정 거리오차를 확률적으로 추정하는 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써, 제안된 방법을 검증하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of underwater noise caused by pile driving during marine construction on fish. In this study, the three gray rockfish were released about 1 km away from the construction site of wind power generation on July 18, 2018 and traced using two acoustic telemetry techniques. The behavior of the fish was analyzed by calculating the moving distance, swimming speed and direction of the gray rockfish. In the results of the acoustic tracking using the ship, the rockfish moved about 2.11 km for about two hours at a speed of $0.28{\pm}0.14m/s$ (0.94 TL/s). The bottom depth of the trajectory of the rockfish was $1.0{\pm}0.6m$ on average. There was a significant directionality in swimming direction of the gray rockfish, and there was no significant correlation between the swimming direction and tidal current direction. Moving distance during 5 minutes (5MD) during pile driving and finishing operations between rock surface and bedrock were 0.94-0.96 times (76.0-77.0 m) and 1.81-2.73 times (146.0-219.5 m), respectively, compared with no pile driving. This study is expected to be used as a basic data of fish behavior research on underwater noise.

The concrete is considered as an important radiation shielding material employed widely in nuclear reactors, particle accelerators, laboratory hot cells and other different radiation sources. The present research is dedicated to the shielding properties study of the ordinary concrete reinforced with different weight fractions of lead oxide micro/nano particles. Lead oxide particles were fabricated by chemical synthesis method and their properties including the average size, morphological structure, functional groups and thermal properties were characterized by XRD, FESEM-EDS, FTIR and TGA analysis. The gamma ray mass attenuation coefficient of concrete composites has been calculated and measured by means of the Monte Carlo simulation and experimental methods. The simulation process was based on the use of MCNP Monte Carlo code where the mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) has been calculated as a function of different particle sizes and filler weight fractions. The simulation results showed that the employment of the lead oxide filler particles enhances the mass attenuation coefficient of the ordinary concrete, drastically. On the other hand, there are approximately no differences between micro and nano sized particles. The mass attenuation coefficient was increased by increasing the weight fraction of nanoparticles. However, a semi-saturation effect was observed at concentrations more than 10 wt%. The experimental process was based on the fabrication of concrete slabs filled by different weight fractions of nano lead oxide particles. The mass attenuation coefficients of these slabs were determined at different gamma ray energies using ²²Na, ¹³⁷Cs and ⁶⁰Co sources and NaI (Tl) scintillation detector. The experimental results showed that the HVL parameter of the ordinary concrete reinforced with 5 wt% of nano PbO particles was reduced by 64% at 511 keV and 48% at 1332 keV. Reasonable agreement was obtained between simulation and experimental results and showed that the employment of nano PbO particles is more efficient at low gamma energies up to 1Mev. The proposed concrete is less toxic and could be prepared in block form instead of toxic lead blocks.
