Drought, a common environmental constraint, induces a range of physiological, biochemical and molecular changes in plants, and can cause severe reductions in crop yield. Consequently, understanding the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance is an important step towards crop biotechnology. Here, we report that the rice (Oryza sativa) homeodomain-leucine zipper class IV transcription factor gene, ${\underline{R}ice}$ ${\underline{o}utermost}$ ${\underline{c}ell-specific}$ gene 10 (Roc10), enhances drought tolerance and grain yield by increasing lignin accumulation in ground tissues. Overexpression of Roc10 in rice significantly increased drought tolerance at the vegetative stages of growth and promoted both more effective photosynthesis and a reduction in water loss rate, compared with non-transgenic controls or RNAi transgenic plants. Importantly, Roc10 overexpressing plants had a higher drought tolerance at the reproductive stage of growth and a higher grain yield compared with the controls under field-drought conditions. Roc10 is mainly expressed in outer cell layers including the epidermis and the vasculature of the shoots, which coincides with areas of cell wall lignification. Roc10 overexpression elevated the expression levels of lignin biosynthetic genes in shoots, with a concomitant increase in the accumulation of lignin, while the overexpression and RNAi lines showed opposite patterns of lignin accumulation. We identified downstream target genes of Roc10 by performing RNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq analyses of shoot tissues. Roc10 was found to directly bind to the promoter of PEROXIDASEN/PEROXIDASE38, a key gene in lignin biosynthesis. Together, our findings suggest that Roc10 confers drought stress tolerance by promoting lignin biosynthesis in ground tissues.

How do plants take up water from soils especially when water is scarce in soils? Plants have a strategy to respond to water deficit to manage water necessary for their survival and growth. Plants regulate water transport inside them. Water flows inside the plant via (i) apoplastic pathway including xylem vessel and cell wall and (ii) cell-to-cell pathway including water channels sitting in cell membrane (aquaporins). Water transport across the root and leaf is explained by a composite transport model including those pathways. Modification of the components in those pathways to change their hydraulic conductivity can regulate water uptake and management. Apoplastic barrier is modified by producing Casparian band and suberin lamellae. These structures contain suberin known to be hydrophobic. Barley roots with more suberin content from the apoplast showed lower root hydraulic conductivity. Root hydraulic conductivity was measured by a root pressure probe. Plant root builds apoplastic barrier to prevent water loss into dry soil. Water transport in plant is also regulated in the cell-to-cell pathway via aquaporin, which has received a great attention after its discovery in early 1990s. Aquaporins in plants are known to open or close to regulate water transport in response to biotic and/or abiotic stresses including water deficit. Aquaporins in a corn leaf were opened by illumination in the beginning, however, closed in response to the following leaf water potential decrease. The evidence was provided by cell hydraulic conductivity measurement using a cell pressure probe. Changing the hydraulic conductivity of plant organ such as root and leaf has an impact not only on the speed of water transport across the plant but also on the water potential inside the plant, which means plant water uptake pattern from soil could be differentiated. This was demonstrated by a computer simulation with 3-D root structure having root hydraulic conductivity information and soil. The model study indicated that the root hydraulic conductivity plays an important role to determine the water uptake from soil with suboptimal water, although soil hydraulic conductivity also interplayed.

국내의 화력발전소와 원자력발전소는 품질이 좋은 전기를 생산하기 위하여 여러 가지 형태의 복수기 튜브와 증기발생기 튜브들로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 설비에 결함이 발생되었을 경우 검사할 수 있는 여러 가지의 검사 방법이 있으며, 그 중에서도 유도초음파를 이용한 방법은 장비의 설치가 간단하며, 검사 속도가 빠르고 고정된 위치에서 한 번의 주사로 먼 거리를 검사할 수 있기 때문에 주로 많이 사용되고 있다. 유도초음파를 이용한 검사방법이 이러한 장점을 가지고 있는 반면에 아주 작은 크기의 결함은 검출할 수 없는 단점도 가지고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 소구경 튜브 내에서 발생될 수 있는 여러 가지의 인공결함을 가공하여 결함의 형태 및 크기에 따른 실험과 신호 해석을 통하여 이러한 단점들을 극복하고자 노력 하였으며 신호 처리 기술과 검사용 센서 제작 기술의 발달로 인하여 이러한 문제점들은 조만간에 극복될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the fine structural changes of rat hepatocytes by repeated treatment of cyclosporin A that has been widely used for immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. Sprague-Dawley rats were kept in experimental circumstances for 2 weeks and 50mg/kg B.W of cyclosporin A was injected once a day subcutaneously for 7 days and sacrificed at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days after the last injection. Fine structural changes were observed by transmission electron microscope (JEM 1200EX II) and the results obtained were as follows. 1. Accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes was prominently increased in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and this finding was slightly reduced in 3 days lapse group and remarkably reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 14 days lapse group. 2. Dilatation of rough endoplasmic reticule cisternae, detachment of membrane bound ribosomes, proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticula were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were mild in 3 days lapse group and abruptly reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 28 days lapse group. 3. Small myelin figures were observed in 3 days lapse group after CsA-treatment. 4. Swelling of mitochondria and destruction of their cristae were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were recovered from 3 days lapse group. 5. Dilatation of bile canaliculi and remarkable loss of microvilli in the pericanalicular wall were observed in 1 hour lapse group and the most severe change was shown in 1 day lapse group and lasted to 3 days lapse group, and these findings were reduced gradually from 7 days lapse group enough to recovered completely in 28 days lapse group.

단청, 불화, 벽화 등에 사용된 전통 무기질 안료는 대부분 광물이었으나, 근현대에 저렴한 화학안료로 대체되어 광물안료 제조법의 맥이 끊어졌다. 이 연구에서는 문화재 보존에 필요한 전통 광물안료 중 녹색-청색 계열 안료자원의 국내 산출과 광물학적 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 구리를 함유한 녹색 - 청색 안료광물들은 구리-납-아연을 채굴하는 금속광산의 폐석장이나 갱내 풍화대에서 이차광물로 산출되었다. X선회절과 주사전자현미경 분석을 이용하여 광물동정을 실시한 결과, 녹색은 brochantite, devilline, 청색은 linarite, bechererite, schulenbergite 등의 함수구리황산염이 대표적인 발색광물이었으며, 그 외 소량의 녹색 antlerite, atacamite가 확인되었다. 이들 녹색-청색 안료광물과 함께 cerussite, smithsonite, anglesite, cuprite 등이 이차광물로 흔히 수반되었다. 녹색 규산염 안료인 뇌록은 현무암 파쇄대의 교대산물로 산출되며, 주발색광물인 celadonite 외에 단백석이 다양한 비율로 혼재되어 있었다. 녹색 규산염 안료인 해록석은 사질 서해 퇴적물 내에서 산출이 확인되었다. 이번 조사에서 대표적인 구리계열 녹색-청색 전통안료로 알려진 공작석과 남동석의 산출을 확인할 수 없었다.

호안 보강 (armoring)은 하천, 호수 및 저수지의 호안 침식을 방지하기 위하여 일반적으로 사용하는 공학적 기법이다. 호안 보강은 육역-수역 경계부를 변경하고, 호안 근처의 지형, 수문, 퇴적물 조성 및 수질을 변화시켜서 호안 식생에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 대형 저수지인 의암호의 육역-수역 경계부에서 인위 교란이 호안 식생의 군집 구조와 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 의암호의 호안선은 60% 이상이 콘크리트 옹벽, 사석, 돌망태로 보강되어 있었다. 탈경향대응 분석 (DCA)의 결과에 의하면 보강에 의하여 바뀌어진 호안의 식생 구조가 수생식물 우점 생태계에서 습생식물 우점 생태계로 변화하였다. 호안 보강은 육역-수역 경계부에서 점진적 연속성을 파괴하였고 외래식물의 생물침입을 초래하였다. 2010부터 2013년까지 호안 식생의 분포 면적은 수생식물은 감소하였고 습생식물은 증가하였다. 결론적으로 의암호에서 보강, 도로 건설, 휴양 등과 같은 인간 교란은 호안 식생에서 육역화, 횡단 연속성의 상실, 생물침입을 초래하였다. 그러므로 호안 생태계의 특이성을 보전하기 위하여 호안 수생식물 식생대을 확대할 수 있도록 호안 보강 구조물을 철거하거나 재조성하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

We have experienced 2 cases of the hunshot wound sof the chest involving cardiac injuries at department of the thoracic surgery, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during I year from April I 1979 to Jan. 1980. In one case of two patients , he was a 22 years old man who was transported to this emergency room 4 hour 10 minutes after having gunshot wound of the left chest by helicopter. Physical examination showed small inlet in left 3rd ICS and left parasternal border, large outlet in left 8th ICS and left scapular line, no breath sound on left side and distant heart sound. chest roentgenography demonstrated marked pleural effusion in left side and mediastinum shifted to right. As soon as chest X-ray was taken, the bleeding through penetrating wound became profuse and cardiac arrest ensued. Closed chest cardiac massage was started and vigorous transfusion continued, but no effective cardiac activity could not be obtained. The patient was pronounced dead due to exsanguinating hemorrhage from wuwpected cardiac wounds. In this critically injured patient with evidence of intrathoracic hemorrhage and suspected cardiac penetration, only emergency thoracic exploration and immediate surgical control of bleeding points might offer the maximum possibility of survival. The other case was a 23 years old man who was transferred to the emergency room 4 hours 50 minutes after having kmultiple communicated fractures of sternum and linear fracture of right mandible by a missile. Examination revealed about 30% skin loss of the anterior chest wall, weak pulse of 96 beats/min., distant heart sound and decreased breath sounds bilaterally. finding on the chest X-ray films showed multiple sternal fractures, marked pericardial effusion indicating hemopericardium. So, the patient was moved immediately to the operation room where, after endotracheal tube inserted, a median sternotomy was performced. A hemorrhagic congestion of the right upper lobe and marked bulging pericardium were disclosed. The pericardium was opened anterior to right phrenic nerve and exsanguinating hemorrhage ensued from the 0.5cm lacerated wound in the auricle of right atrium. The rupture site of right atrium was occluded with non-crushing vascular clamps and then was over sewn with interrupted sutures. It was thought to be highly possible that he was alive long enough to have cardiorrhaphy because of cardiac tamponade, which prevented exsanguinating hemorrhage. He was taken closed reduction for linear fracture of right mandible 2 weeks after repair of ruptured right auricle in dental clinic. This patient's post-operative course was not eventful.

대표적인 일부 건축자재의 석면 함량을 일본공업표준법 (JIS)에 따른 X-선회절분석으로 측정하였고, 분석과정에서의 광물학적 성분변화와 문제점을 검토하였다. 국내의 슬레이트, 벽재, 천장재의 대표적인 건축자재에 대해 석면 함량을 정량한 결과, 슬레이트 시료가 6.87~6.93%의 온석면을 함유하여 가장 많은 석면을 함유하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 분석된 다른 건축자재들에서도 1.35~3.98%의 범위로 다양한 양의 온석면이 포함되어 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이번 연구에서 국내에서 처음으로 일부 건축자재의 석면 함량에 대한 X-선회절방법에 의한 분석결과를 제시하였으며, 이런 방법을 통하여 국내에서 최근에 개정된 규정(노동부 산업안전보건법 제2007-26호)에서 규정한 석면의 허용기준량 0.1% 함량을 평가하는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 일부 시료에서 온석면과 함께 투각섬석이 소량 수반되고 있음이 나타났으나, 이들의 결정형태와 그 함량과 지질학적 산출상태 등으로 보아, 석면 활용의 목적으로 첨가한 것이 아니고 온석면에 본래 수반되었던 볼순광물로 나타난 것으로 생각된다. X-선회절분석으로 석면상과 비석면상의 구분이 어렵기 때문에 형태를 관찰할 수 있는 광학현미경과 전자현미경의 보조적인 관찰도 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이번에 사용한 X-선회절분석 방법에서는 가열처리와 산처리에 의한 소실율이 많아 석면의 농집도가 높은 건축자재 시료에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate bone thickness on the buccal and palatal aspects of the maxillary canine and premolars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The differences between left- and right-side measurements and between males and females were also analyzed. Methods: The sample consisted of 20 subjects (9 males and 11 females; mean age, $21.9{\pm}3.0$) selected from the normal occlusion sample data in the Department of Orthodontics, The Catholic University of Korea. The thickness of the buccal and palatal bone walls, perpendicular to the long axis of the root were evaluated at 3 mm and 5 mm apical to cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and at root apex. Results: At the canines and first premolars regions, mean buccal bone thickness of at 3 mm and 5 mm apical to CEJ were less than 2 mm. In contrast, at the second premolar region, mean buccal bone thickness at 3 mm and 5 mm apical from CEJ were greater than 2 mm. Frequency of thick bone wall (${\geq}2mm$) increased from the canine to the second premolar. Conclusions: This result should be considered before tooth extraction and planning of rehabilitation in the canine and premolar area of maxilla. Careful preoperative analysis with CBCT may be beneficial to assess local risk factors and to achieve high predictability of success in implant therapy.
