  • For convex bodies, chord power integrals were introduced and studied in several papers (see [3], [6], [14], [15], etc.). The aim of this article is to study them further, that is, we establish the Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities and get the upper bound for chord power integrals of convex bodies. Finally, we get the famous Zhang projection inequality as a corollary. Here, it is deserved to mention that we make use of a completely distinct method, that is using the theory of inclusion measure, to establish the inequality.

  • The full-length cDNA of the lumbrokinase fraction 6 (F6) protease gene of Lumbricus rubellus was amplified using an mRNA template, sequenced and expressed in E. coli cells. The F6 protease gene consisted of pro- and mature sequences by gene sequence analysis, and the protease was translated and modified into active mature polypeptide by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the F6 protease. The pro-region of F6 protease consisted of the 44 residues from methionine-1 to lysine-44, and the mature polypeptide sequence (239 amino acid residues and one stop codon; 720 bp) started from isoleucine-45 and continued to the terminal residue. F6 protease gene clones having pro-mature sequence and mature sequence produced inclusion bodies in E. coli cells. When inclusion bodies were orally administrated rats, generated thrombus weight in the rat' venous was reduced by approximately 60% versus controls. When the inclusion bodies were solubilized in pepsin and/or trypsin solutions, the solubilized enzymes showed hemolytic activity in vitro. It was concluded the F6 protease has hemolytic activity, and that it is composed of pro- and mature regions.

  • A size exclusion chromatography (SEC) process, in the presence of denaturant in the refolding buffer was developed to refold recombinant human $interferon-\gamma$ ($rhIFN-\gamma$) at a high concentration. The $rhlFN-\gamma$ was overexpressed in E. coli resulting in the formation of inactive inclusion bodies (IBs). The IBs were first solubilized in 8 M urea as the denaturant, and then the refolding process performed by decreasing the urea concentration on the SEC column to suppress protein aggregation. The effects of the urea concentration, protein loading mode and column height during the refolding step were investigated. The combination of the buffer-exchange effect of SEC and a moderate urea concentration in the refolding buffer resulted in an efficient route for producing correctly folded $rhIFN-\gamma$, with protein recovery of $67.1\%$ and specific activity up to $1.2\times10^7\;IU/mg$.

  • The zoospores of Polymyxa graminis known as vector of barley yellow mosaic virus(BYMV) were found from the rootlets of diseased barley plants. The X-bodies in the lower epidermis of diseased leaf tissues were reddish under fluorescence microscopy. The shape of virus particles was flexuous rod and 300-1,000 nm in length. The pinwheel structures, cylindrical inclusion bodies, ring-form inclusion bodies, and crystalline lattice-like structure were found together with virus particles in the cytoplasm of diseased leaf tissues. Generally, intracellular organelles in the diseased barley leaf tissues infected with BYMV were either not well-developed or degenerated.

  • 단백질이 어떻게 비수용성이 되는지를 알기위해, 클로람페니콜 아세틸전이효소와 베타-락타메이즈를 과잉생산하여 그들의 수용성과 활성을 측정하였다. 클로람페니콜 아세틸전이효소는 총단백질의 9에서 45%를 차지하였으며, inclusion body 형성없이 완전히 수용성이었으며, 효소활성은 만들어진 양과 비례하였다. 또한 30℃에서 T7 발현체계에 의해 생성된 베타-락타메이즈는 수용성의 숙성체였으나, 37℃에서는 비수용성이 되었다. 세포질에 있는 대부분의 베타-락타메이즈는 비수용성이었고. 페리플라즘 공간에서는 대부분이 수용성이었다. 단백질의 올바른 폴딩을 도와주는 chaperone의 일종인 GroEL 단백질은 본 실험조선에서는 베타-락타베이즈의 수용성을 별로 높이지는 못했다. 세포 내에서 inclusion body의 형성은 단백질의 높은 종도보다는 각각 단밸질 자체의 특성과 관련된 듯하다.

  • 발달중인 Sedum 및 Salsola의 엽육조직을 chemical fixation과 high pressure freezing (HPF) 등으로 고정한 후, 초박 및 후박절편으로 제작 carbon coating하여 TEM 및 UHVEM으로 연속절편에 의한 2-D영상과 tilt image data를 수집하였다. 이후 초미세 구조들에 대하여 tilting 및 tomography 기법, 그리고 디지털화한 image의 3-D 입체구조 재구현에 필수적인 IMOD 프로_그램을 적용한 image 처리과정을 거쳐 UHVEM data에서 색소체내 초미세구조의 정보를 추출하여 세포수준에서의 3-D image를 분석하였다. 색소체 기질에서 녹말입자 및 틸라코이드에 인접하여 형성되는 CAM및 $C_4$ 식물 색소체 결정체들은 어떤 막으로도 둘러싸이지 않는 구조로서, Sedum rotundifolium 색소체내 결정체는 수 ${\mu}m$에 이르는 커다란 크기로 형성된다. 결정체 내에는 약 20nm격자거리로 이루어진 기원을 알 수 없는 수백-수천 개의 미세소관성 요소들이 평행 또는 격자상태로 정교한 구조를 이루며, 티라코이드 및 녹말입자와 인접하여 발달하였다. $C_4$ 광합성 수행 Salsola komarovii의 경우, 결정체는 엽육세포 색소체에서만 발달하며 결정체 구성 기본요소들이 비교적 규칙적인 격자거리를 이루며 수십 개 배열하는 구조를 형성하였다. 특히, tilted image및 3-D 입체구조 연구에서 결정체 형성에는 이들과 인접하여 발달하는 틸라코이드막이 관여함을 알아 낼 수 있었다. 이는 엽육세포 색소체에는 결정체들이 식물이 수행하는 광합성 유형에 따라 각기 다른 구성요소로 형성되어 Sedum의 경우와 같이 발달 중인 엽육조직에서 분화하거나 Salsola에서와 같이 세포 유형에 따라 상이하게 발달하는 것으로 추정되었다.

  • The occurrence of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome was confirmed for the first time in Korea from chickens submitted for diagnosis to our laboratory from broiler and baeksemi farms. Clinical signs included depression, inappetence, ruffled feathers and an increase in mortality. At necropsy, severe hydropericardium and hepatic necrosis was characteristically found. The most remarkable microscopic changes were seen in the liver, including basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in the hepatocytes, massive hemorrhages and necrosis in the liver parenchyma. Based on polymerase chain reaction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we could identify the fowl adenoviruses as the causative agent of the disease. In the TEM, we observed the presence of a large number of intranuclear virus particles in the hepatocytes. We could also find the PCR amplification of 700 bp DNA from purified hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome viral DNA.

  • Two dead and two terminally sick badgers with signs of lacrimation and nasal discharge were submitted to the Pathology Division of the National Veterinary Research Institute for necropsy. The major gross findings included chronic dermatitis and pneumonia. histologically intracytoplasmic and intranuclear acidophilic inclusion bodies consistent with Canine Distemper (CD) virus particles in lung kidney urinary bladder skin foot pad stomach and small intestine. Additionally there were diffuse bronchointerstitial pneumonia hyperkeratosis of foot pads and focal non-suppurative encephalitis. Canine distemper infection in these badgers was further confirmed by immuofluorescent technique which demonstrated CD virus-specific antigens in lung and kidney sections.

  • A dead dove was found on the road and submitted for diagnosis. The bird was severely emaciated, with deformation in its facial area. Grossly, white coalescing nodules were seen on the cut surface of the nasal cavity. Histopathologically, epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract were markedly proliferated, with ballooning degeneration, down growth of the rete ridge, and large eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Parakeratotic hyperkeratosis and focal necrotic focus was present in the proliferative area. The facial bones showed partial bone resorption. Transmission electron microscopy revealed numerous viral particles in epithelial cells with dumbbell-shaped bodies, consistent with poxvirus.
