  • Culex pipiens pallens에 존재하는 Alkaline phosphatase의 연구를 위한 적정 분석조건과 우화 후, 시간 경과에 따른 Alkaline phosphatase 활성 경향에 대해서 연구하였다. C. pipiens에 존재하는 Alkaline phosphatase의 활성은 우화 직후부터 지속적으로 감소하다가, 흡혈 자극에 의해서 급격하게 증가한다. 흡혈 후 30시간이 경과했을 때, 최대의 활성도를 보이고 감소하나, 흡혈 48시간 이후에는 다시 증가하여 지속적으로 유지됨을 알 수 있다. 기관별 분석에서 첫번째 활성 증가는 중장에서 일어나고, 두번째 활성 증가는 난소에서 일어남을 알 수 있다. 그리고 흡혈 후 30시간된 성체에서는 5개의 동위효소 밴드가 보이는데, 난소에서 ALP-1와 ALP-2가 나타나고, 가슴에서는 ALP-3, ALP-4와 ALP-5가 보인다. 지방체에서는 ALP-4와 ALP-5가, 중장에서는 ALP-3, ALP-4와 ALP-5가 나타남을 알 수 있다. 그리고 흡혈 후 72시간된 성체에서, ALP-1, ALP-2가 동일하게 존재함을 알 수 있다.

  • Changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes and isoforms in human serum have a major diagnostic value, therefore the regulation of ALP activities is a valuable target for therapeutic interventions. To assess the pharmacological activity of retinoids, i.e., all-trans retinoic acid and 13-cis retinoic acid, their tissue-specific inhibitory effect on human serum ALP activity was elucidated by chemical inhibition methods, heat-sensitive inactivation, and wheat-germ lectin precipitation test. Retinoids showed significant inhibition of the total ALP activity in human serum at a concentration of 5 mM. All-trans retinoic acid (5 mM) and 13-cis retinoic acid (5 mM) inhibited ALP activities by up to 12% and 15%, respectively, compared to that by guanidine hydrochloride (200 mM). L-phenylalanine (100 mM) and urea (30 mM) had no further inhibitory effect on ALP activities in human serum pretreated with retinoids (5 mM). Retinoids significantly inhibited ALP activities by up to 20% compared with that of tetramisole (30 mM). The ALP activities in retinoid-pretreated serum remained unchanged after the heat inactivation process. These results suggest that retinoids are inhibitors of the intestinal ALP isoenzyme. Remarkably, retinoids revealed potent inhibitory activities against ALP in wheat-germ lectin precipitant serum, indicating that they also function as inhibitors of the bone ALP isoform. The results show that retinoids inhibit the specific tissue-derived human serum ALP activities, moreover, the inhibitory effect of retinoids against bone ALP activity suggests their clinical utility as monitoring and prevention of metastasis of bone cancer.

  • This study was performed to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on femoral fracture healing in dogs. Eight healthy dogs from 4 to 5 $\beta^3$ were used in this experiment. In the treatment group, anode and cathode were connected to proximal and distal site apart from the fracture line by 2 cm and electrical stimulation was applied to the fracture site for l5minutes by 2 V, 25 Hz and for a month. The control group was connected to electrostimulator as the treatment group, but no electrical stimulation was applied. Various parameters were evaluated including radiograph and serum levels of total-ALP(TALP), bone-ALP(BALP) and osteocalcin. The radiography revealed more rapid callus formation in the treatment group than in the control by about a week. The total-ALP levels of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group from the 2nd to the 24th day(p< 0.05). The bone-ALP levels of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control from the 2nd to the 24th day(p< 0.05). The bone-ALP/ total-ALP ratios of the treatment group were higher than those of control throughout this experiment but there were no significance. There were no significance in the osteocalcin levels between two groups. In conclusion, the electrical stimulation on femoral fracture site was effective for bone healing in dogs.

  • In an effort to develop an efficient expression and secretion system for heterologous proteins in Aspergilius nidulans, the PCR-amplified coding sequence for alkaline pretense (AlpA) of A. oryzae was cloned into a fungal expression vector downstream of A. nidulans aicA (alcohol dehydrogenase) promoter to yield pRAAlp. Transformation of A. nidulans with pRAAlp gave stable transformants harboring various copy numbers (3 to 10) of integrated alpA gene, from among which 6 representatives were selected. On a medium containing 0.8% ammonium sulfate that represses the expression of the host's own pretense, the alcA prumoter-controlled AlpA expression was strongly induced by threonine but repressed by glucose. The level of AlpA secretion was highest (approximately 666 mU/ml) in transformant ALP6 containing the largest copy number integrated alpA. However, the level of AlpA secretion was not necessarily proportional to the copy numbers of the integrated alpA genes. The N-terminal sequence or the secreted mature AlpA was determined to be Gly-Leu-Thr-Thr-Gln-Lys-Ser and its molecular mass to be approximately 34 kDa, indicating that AlpA is properly processed by the removal of 121 N-terminal amino acids.

  • This paper presents relationship between the dynamic behavior of an asynchronous linear pipeline (ALP) and the performance of the ALP as buffers are allocated. Then the relationship is used in order to characterize a local optimum situation on the buffer design space of the ALP. Using the characterization we propose an efficient algorithm optimizing buffer allocation on an ALP in order to achieve its average case performance. Without the loss of optimality, our algorithm works in linear time complexity so it achieves fast buffer-configuration optimization. This paper makes two contributions. First, it describes relationship between the performance characteristics of an ALP and a local optimum on the buffer design space of the ALP. Second, it devises a buffer allocation algorithm finding an optimum solution in linear time complexity.

  • 본 연구는 가시여지 잎 에탄올 추출물(ALE) 및 조다당 추출물(ALP)의 면역 활성에 관하여 비교하기 위하여, 선천 및 적응면역에서 중추적인 역할을 수행하는 큰포식세포에 ALE 및 ALP를 처리하여 세포 증식률, 산화질소 분비능, 사이토카인(종양괴사인자, IL-6, $IL-1{\beta}$) 분비능 및 기전 분석을 통한 신호전달에 관하여 관찰하였다. ALE 및 ALP를 큰포식세포에 처리하여 면역활성에 관하여 비교하였을 때, 큰포식세포 면역활성의 바이오-마커인 산화질소, 사이토카인의 분비능 및 iNOS의 세포내 발현이 ALP 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 기전분석결과, ALP의 처리는 MPAKs의 인산화 및 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 핵내 이동성을 증가시켜 면역활성을 증가시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서, ALP의 높은 면역활성은 MPAKs의 인산화 및 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 그라비올라 잎 조다당 분획물(ALP)의 멜라닌 저해활성에 관하여 알아보기 위하여 B16F10 melanoma 세포의 세포 생존율, tyrosinase 저해활성, 멜라닌 함량, 멜라닌 생합성에 관여하는 단백질(TRP-1, TRP-2, tyrosinase, MITF 및 p-CREB)의 발현을 관찰하였다. ALP의 tyrosinase 활성 저해능을 측정하였을 때, 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 B16F10 세포에 ALP를 처리하여 멜라닌 활성 저해능에 관하여 알아봤을 때, tyrosinase, 멜라닌 함량이 농도 의존적으로 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 ALP가 미백과 관련된 TRP-1, TRP-2, tyrosinase, MITF 및 p-CREB의 단백질 발현양이 농도의존적으로 감소되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 ALP는 멜라닌 저해 활성을 효과적으로 나타낸 것으로 보아 기능성 미백 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 거꾸로 수업의 이점과 한계를 분석하여 실제수업 적용에 효율적인 ALP 모형을 개발하고, 그 효과를 확인하는 데 있다. 새로운 모형과 프로그램 개발 과정은 ADDIE 모형을 기초로 하였다. 먼저 거꾸로 수업의 어려움 분석과 관련된 연구들을 분석하여 새 모형의 주요 구성 요소를 추출하였고, 이 요소들을 수업의 흐름에 따라 재배치함으로써 ALP 모형을 개발하였다. 모형은 요약 강의 참여 단계(Attending a Short Lecture), 갭(gap) 이용 추가 학습 단계(Learning More in a Gap), 학생 중심 학습 수행 단계(Performing Student-centered Learning)의 3단계로 구성된다. 과학적 의사소통능력에 대한 모형의 효과를 살펴보기 위해 ALP 모형을 적용한 초등과학 프로그램을 개발하였다. 추가적인 정보를 얻기 위해서 수업에 대한 인식 조사와 실험집단 학생들 중 일부를 대상으로 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 거꾸로 수업의 어려움을 분석한 논문을 살펴본 결과 수업의 흐름에 따라 다양한 종류의 어려움을 확인할 수 있었으나, 주로 사전학습과 관련된 것이었다. 이를 바탕으로 수업 구조적인 변화를 주어 사전학습의 동영상 강의 부분을 다시 교실로 가지고 오고, 자율적인 추가 학습 부분을 교실 밖에 유지하였다. 이를 통해 거꾸로 수업에서 의사소통능력 향상에 도움을 주는 학생중심학습 시간의 증대를 꾀하고, 거꾸로 수업의 사전학습에서 교사의 준비 부담과 학생의 참여 관련 어려움을 줄이고자 하였다. ALP 모형을 적용한 초등 과학 프로그램을 적용한 뒤에 과학적 의사소통능력측면의 효과를 살펴본 결과, 실험집단에서 유의한 향상이 있음을 확인하였다. 세부 결과에서는 표와 그림 형태와 주장형과 정당화 유형에서 유의한 효과를 확인하였다. 이는 학생들에게 학생중심학습의 시간과 기회를 보다 많이 제공한 결과로 볼 수 있으며, 이는 수업에 대한 인식조사나 면담에서도 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in gallbladder cancer (GBC). Materials and Methods: Serum ALP and GGT levels and clinicopathological parameters were retrospectively evaluated in 199 GBC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the cut-off values of ALP and GGT. Then, associations with overall survival were assessed by multivariate analysis. Based on the significant factors, a prognostic score model was established. Results: By ROC curve analysis, $ALP{\geq}210U/L$ and $GGT{\geq}43U/L$ were considered elevated. Overall survival for patients with elevated ALP and GGT was significantly worse than for patients within the normal range. Multivariate analysis showed that the elevated ALP, GGT and tumor stage were independent prognostic factors. Giving each positive factor a score of 1, we established a preoperative prognostic score model. Varied outcomes would be significantly distinguished by the different score groups. By further ROC curve analysis, the simple score showed great superiority compared with the widely used TNM staging, each of the ALP or GGT alone, or traditional tumor markers such as CEA, AFP, CA125 and CA199. Conclusions: Elevated ALP and GGT levels were risk predictors in GBC patients. Our prognostic model provides infomration on varied outcomes of patients from different score groups.

  • ALP (alkaline phosphatase) is a membrane-bound metalloenzyme that is expressed in osteoblasts, hepatocytes, lung, kidney, endothelial cells, leukocytes and other cells. Normal soft tissue and skin show little tissue nonspecific ALP (TN-AP), However, scar tissue contains high levels of TN-AP activity, and in fact, TN-AP is expressed intensely in regenerating connective tissue after the wounding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of ALP expression in hypertrophic scar model in rabbits and the effect of triamcinonolone on ALP expression. Adult male New Zealand white rabbits, weighing about 2.5 kg, were used. After full-thickeness wounding over the ventral surface of each ear, either saline (control ear) or triamcinolone (contralateral ear) was injected on day 16. Rabbits were sacrificed on day 3, 7, 15, 17, 19, 23, and the specimens were retrieved en bloc. Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations of tissue samples were done. The results obtained were as follows: On day 3, ALP reaction was observed on fibroblasts and inflammatory cells in wound margin. On day 7, ALP reaction was more intense than day p in capillaries, inflammtory cells, and fibroblasts behind newly formed epithelium. On day 15, ALP reaction was lessened in both groups and appeared mainly in subepidermal capillary network, Since day 17, ALP reaction was lessened in both groups and weaker in triamcinolone-injected group than in saline-injected group. These results suggest that ALP reaction isn't increased in triamcinolone-injected scar and triamcinolone reduces scar not by increasing TN-AP expression but other mechanism.
