The purpose of this study is to introduce the limit of previously used six sigma quality process evaluation metrics, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, and a solution to overcome this drawback by using a metric based on performance evaluation of Z-factor quality innovation. Case analysis on projects from national six sigma contest from 2011 to 2012 is performed and literature review on new drug development HTS (High Throughput Screening) is used to propose innovative performance evaluation metrics. This research shows that experimental study on six sigma evaluation metric, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, have no significance difference between industrial type (Manufacturing, Semi-Public Institute, Public Institute) and CTQ type (Product Technology Type CTQ, Process Technology Type CTQ). Following discovery characterize this quality improvement as fixed target type project. As newly developed moving target type of quality innovation performance metric Z-Factor is used for evaluating experimental study, hypothetical analysis suggests that $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$ share different relationship or even show reciprocal relationship. Constraints of the study are relatively small sample size of only 37 projects from past 2 years and conflict on having interview and communication with six sigma quality practitioner for qualitative experimental study. Both moving target type six sigma innovation project and fixed target type improvement project or quality circle enables efficient ways for a better understanding and quality practitioner use by applying quality innovation performance metric. Downside of fixed target type quality performance evaluation metric, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, is presented through experimental study. In contrast, advantage of this study is that high throughput requiring product technology, process technology and quantum leap typed innovation effect is evaluated based on precision and accuracy and Z-Factor that enables relative comparison between enterprises is proposed and implemented.

산화적인 스트레스(Oxidative stress)는 신경염증의 발병요인 중의 하나로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구는 약용곤충추출물을 이용하여 항산화 물질을 찾고자 초고속 적용가능한 스크리닝 방법을 적용하였다. 우선, 분자염증은 활성산소 관련의 물질과 밀접한 관련이 있으므로 이들의 억제를 동반하는 추출물을 먼저 선별하였다. 항산화 실험과 관련하여 DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), FRAP(Ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), HO (Hydroxyl radical) 소거, linoleic acid에 대한 항산화 활성 등을 assay하였고 hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)에 의한 세포사멸 억제 활성을 보기 위해 MTT assay를 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 사마귀, 늦반딧불이, 무당벌레에서 다른 library에 비교하여 항산화 활성이 높게 나타났다.

High-throughput screening has become a popular method used to identify new “leads”for potentially therapeutic compounds. Further screening of these lead compounds is typically done with secondary assays which may utilize living, functioning cells as screening tools. A problem (or benefit) with these cell-based assays is that living cells are very sensitive to their environment. We have been interested in the process of stem cell migration and how it relates to the cellular therapy of bone marrow transplantation. In this study we describe a secondary, cell-based assay for screening the effects of various in-vitro conditions on Immature Hematopoietic Cell (IHC) migration. Our results have revealed many subtle factors, such as the cell's adhesive characteristics, or the effect of a culture's growth phase, that need to be accounted for in a screening protocol. Finally, we show that exponentially glowing KG1a cells (a human IHC cell line) were 10 times more motile than those in the lag or stationary phases. These data strongly suggest that KG1a cells secrete a chemokinetic factor during the exponential growth phase of a culture.

We designed an effective screening method for double strand DNA (dsDNA) binders using DNA-modified magnetic particles. Hairpin DNA was immobilized on the surface of magnetic particle for a simple screening of dsDNA binding materials in a solution containing various compounds. Through several magnetic separation and incubation processes, four DNA-binding materials, DAPI, 9AA, AQ2A, and DNR, were successfully screened from among five candidates. Efficiency of screening was demonstrated by HPLC analysis using a C2/18 reverse-phase column. In addition, their relative binding strengths were verified by measuring the melting temperature ($T_m$). If hairpin DNA sequence is modified for other uses, this magnetic bead-based approach can be applied as a high-throughput screening method for various functional materials such as anti-cancer drugs.

Down syndrome screening with cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the maternal plasma has recently received much attention in the prenatal diagnostic field. Indeed, a large amount of evidence has already accumulated to show that screening tests with cfDNA are more sensitive and specific than conventional maternal serum and/or ultrasound screening. Globally, more than 1,000,000 of these noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPTs) have been performed to date. There are several different methods for NIPTs that are currently commercially available, including shotgun massively parallel sequencing, targeted massively parallel sequencing, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based methods. All of these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this review, I will focus specifically on the SNP-based NIPT.

다중나무예측치들이 한 개의 나무 예측치 보다 검증용 자료 오분류률을 줄이는데 있어서 더 정확하다 라는 것은 잘 알려져 있는 사실이다. 다중나무를 생성하는 두 가지 방법이 있다. 하나는 원래의 훈련용 자료를 재 추출하여 수정된 훈련용자료들을 만든 다음에 각각의 수정된 훈련용 자료에 근거하여 나무를 만드는 것이다. arcing 알고리즘이 효율적이라고 알려져있다. 다른 방법은 각각의 마디에서 최적 분리의 후보들 중에서 랜덤하게 하나를 선택하여 나무를 생성하는데에, 이 과정을 반복하면 원래의 훈련용 자료에 대해서 비교적 좋은 나무들을 생성하리라 기대되다. 우리는 arcing의 각 단계에서 후자의 다중회귀나무예측치들을 사용하는 결합다중회귀나무예측치를 제안하고, 효능 있는 화합물들을 찾기 위한 고속의 대량 선별 자료 분석의 예를 통해서 예측방법들의 효율성을 비교한다.

Valuable natural compounds produced by a variety of microorganisms can be used as lead molecules for development of new agrochemicals. Furthermore, high-throughput in vitro screening systems with specific modes of action can increase the probability of discovery of new fungicides. In the current study, a rapid assay tested with various microbes was developed to determine the degree of respiratory inhibition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in two different liquid media, YG (containing a fermentable carbon source) and NFYG (containing a non-fermentable carbon source). Based on this system, we screened 100 fungal isolates that were classified into basidiomycetes, to find microbial secondary metabolites that act as respiratory inhibitors. Consequently, of the 100 fungal species tested, the culture broth of an IUM04881 isolate inhibited growth of S. cerevisiae in NFYG medium, but not in YG medium. The result is comparable to that from treatment with kresoxim-methyl used as a control, suggesting that the culture broth of IUM04881 isolate might contain active compounds showing the inhibition activity for respiratory chain. Based on the assay developed in this study and spectroscopic analysis, we isolated and identified an antifungal compound (-)-oudemansin A from culture broth of IUM04881 that is identified as Oudemansiella venosolamellata. This is the first report that (-)-oudemansin A is identified from O. venosolamellata in Korea. Taken together, the development of this assay will accelerate efforts to find and identify natural respiratory inhibitors from various microbes.

Control of pine wilt disease, which is caused by pine wilt nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is heavily dependent on the use of chemicals such as abamectin. Although such chemicals are highly effective, demands for alternatives that are derived preferentially from natural sources, are increasing out of environmental concerns. One of the challenges to discovery of alternative control agents is lack of fast and efficient screening method that can be used in a high-throughput manner. Here we described the development of colorimetric assay for the rapid and accurate screening of candidate nematicidal compounds/biologics targeting B. xylophilus. Contrary to the conventional method, which relies on laborious visual inspection and counting of nematode population under microscope, our method utilizes a redox dye that changes its color in response to metabolic activity of nematode population in a given sample. In this work, we optimized parameters of our colorimetric assay including number of nematodes and amount of redox dye, and tested applicability of our assay for screening of chemicals and biologics. We demonstrated that our colorimetric assay can be applied to rapid and accurate quantification of nematode viability/mortality in a nematode population treated with candidate chemicals/biologics. Application of our method would facilitate high-throughput endeavors aiming at finding environment-friendly control agents for deadly disease of pine trees.

본 연구는 제주산 해조류의 생리활성을 대량검색하기 위해 HTS 기법을 이용한 실험과정의 제어 및 관리를 위한 자동화 시스템을 구축하고자 DPPH 라디칼을 이용하여 HTS를 이용한 자동화 시스템을 구축하고 제주산 해조류의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 대량 검색하고자 하였다. 그 결과 HTS를 위한 효율적인 검색방법을 개발하였고 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성이 높은 해조류를 검색하게 되었다. 녹조류의 경우 납작파래 (20G6)의 $20^{\circ}C$ 추출물(1 mg/ml)에서 약 60%이 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 보였을 뿐 나머지 해조류에서는 40% 미만이 낮은 활성만을 보였다. 갈조류의 경우 꽈배기 모자반 (20B17), (70B17), 참그물바탕말 (70B1), 큰잎모자반 (70B16)과 감태 (70B26)에서 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성이 우수하였다. 홍조류 중에서는 왜떨기나무붉은실 (20R24)에서 가장 우수한 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었고 갈래잎 (20R17), 굵은참우뭇가사리 (20R18), 부채분홍잎 (20R23) 또한 높은 소거활성을 보였다. 따라서 우수한 효과를 나타내었던 해조류를 대상으로 용매분획 및 활성물질의 분리, 정제를 통해 해조류 유래의 기능성 신소재를 개발한다면, 해조류의 고부가가치화 및 HTS기술의 보편화에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.
