Objectives : Molecular biology techniques were employed to assess diversity of bacterial in children's dental caries. Methods : DNA of germs was extracted and the diversity of the 16S rRNA clones was analyzed by amplified rDNA restriction analysis and sequencing. The experimental samples were pit and fissure caries (PC), deep dentinal caries (DC), smooth surface caries (SC), and supragingival plaque (PQ) from 50 children of age less than 12 years old. The control group was healthy teeth supragingival plaque (HT). Thirty clones from each 16S rRNA clone library of 5 samples were randomly selected, thus a total of 150 clones were analyzed. Results : Amplified rDNA restriction analysis uncovered 18, 20, 11, 17, and 22 phylotypes from healthy teeth, pit and fissure caries, deep dentinal caries, smooth surface caries, and supragingival plaque, respectively. Sequencing analysis found the dominance of Actinomycs naeslundii and Fusobacterium nucleatum in the healthy teeth; Leptotrichia sp. in the pit and fissure caries; Actinomyces sp., Streptococcus mutans, and Rahnella aquatilis in the deep dentinal caries; Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces sp. in the smooth surface caries; Enterobacter hormaechei and Streptococcus sanguinis in the supragingival plaque. Conclusions : Clonal analysis identified 6 phyla, 20 genera, and 51 species.

In Korea, pulmonary surfactant (PS) replacement therapy in respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was started in 1991 since when Surfacten$^{(R)}$ was imported from Japan. At the present time, Surfacten$^{(R)}$, Newfactan$^{(R)}$, Curosurf$^{(R)}$, and Infasurf$^{(R)}$ are available in Korea. The governmental health insurance covers the expense for multiple dose treatment since 2002 and the early prophylactic treatment (BW: <1,250 g or GP: <30 wks) since 2011. We undertook a multi-institutional collective study to evaluate the outcomes of PS over past 20 years in Korea (Period-I; 1990/91, P-II; 1996, P-III; 2002, and P-IV; 2007, P-V; 2010). There were 60 RDS neonates with PS treatment in P-I (16 hospitals), 1,179 in P-II (64), 1,595 in P-III (62), 1,921 in P-IV (57), and 3,160 in P-V (72). Decreased mortality rate, defined as the percentage of neonates who died within 28 days of birth, was seen between periods, P-V vs P-I, II, III, and IV (mortality rate: 10.1% vs. 40.0%, 30.0%, 18.7%, and 14.3%). We conclude that PS therapy contributed to improve remarkable outcome in RDS neonates over the last 20 years in Korea. However, more efforts should be made to optimize PS therapy for better outcome. Multiple PS doses for relapse and poor response, early prophylactic use, and better supportive care for pre-term infants are mandatory.

With the increasing demand for a better FPD image quality, better evaluation metrics and advanced display quality measurement methods are required to meet these needs. There are many measurement methods for evaluating the viewing angle of various display devices, but these methods, which include luminance drop, color shift, and contrast ratio decrease, are imperfect considering that human perception does not completely correlate to them. In this paper, a new method of measuring the perceptual angle of FPDs is proposed, considering human visual perception, which uses the color space of the color appearance model.

The jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai was hydrolyzed with papain and a novel dipeptide purified via ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography with Sephadex LH-20, and reverse phase chromatography using $C_{18}$ and $C_{12}$ columns. The IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectrometer analyses showed that the dipeptide comprised tyrosine-isoleucine (Tyr-Ile). The $IC_{50}$ and $K_i$ values were $6.56{\pm}1.12$ and $3.10{\pm}0.28\;{\mu}M$, respectively, indicating competitive inhibition of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE). As a novel ACE-inhibitory active peptide, Tyr-Ile may have potential for use in antihypertensive therapy.

The fruit of Terminalia chebula Retzius has been used as a panacea in India and Southeast Asia but its biological activities have not been fully elucidated. Here we report anti-arthritic and analgesic effect of NDI10218, a standardized ethanol extract of Terminalia chebula, on collagen-induced arthritis and acetic acid-induced writhing model, respectively. Arthritis was induced in DBA/1J mice by immunizing bovine type II collagen and mice were treated with NDI10218 daily for 5 weeks after the onset of the disease. NDI10218 reduced the arthritis index and blocked the synovial hyperplasia in a dose-dependent manner. The serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, and IL-$1{\beta}$ were significantly reduced in mice treated with NDI10218. Production of the inflammatory IL-17, but not immunosuppressive IL-10, was also inhibited in splenocytes isolated from NDI10218-treated arthritis mice. Administration of NDI10218 markedly decreased the number of T cell subpopulations in the regional lymph nodes of the arthritis mice. Finally, NDI10218 reduced the number of abdominal contractions in acetic acid-induced writhing model, suggesting an analgesic effect of this extract. Taken together, these results suggest that NDI10218 can be a new therapeutic candidate for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

우리나라 벼 수량의 기상반응을 종합적으로 검토하여 벼 수량예측모델을 구축하고자 1985년부터 1999년까지 15년간 수행한 20개 지역의 벼 지역적응시험 자료를 이용하여 기상에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선(boundary line)분석을 하였으며, 이에 근거하여 수량예측모형을 설정하였다. 1. 벼의 생육기간을 영양생장기, 생식생장기, 등숙기로 구분하고 각 발육단계를 15-20일 간으로 구분하여 각 시기의 기상요소에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선은 평균기온( $T_{a}$ )과 일조시수( $S_{h}$)에 대해서는 지수함수 f( $T_{a}$ )=$\beta$$_{0}$(1-exp(-$\beta$$_1$/$\times$ $T_{a}$ ), f( $S_{h}$)=$\beta$$_{0}$(1-exp(-$\beta$$_1$$\times$ $T_{h}$)로 나타났으며 일교차(Tr)는 2차함수 f( $T_{r}$)=$\beta$0(1-( $T_{r}$-$\beta$$_1$)$^2$)로, 이 식에서 상수항 $\beta$$_{0}$를 제거하여 수량에 대한 각 기상요소의 영향도를 0-1로 나타내는 기상지수로 나타내었다. 2. 각 생육시기의 평균기온, 일조시간 및 일교차에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선이외에 불임에 의한 등숙률 저하와 그에 따른 수량감소를 고려하기 위하여 Uchijima(1976)가 제안한 냉각도일수(cooling degree day)를 출수전 30일간의 생식생장기에 계산하여 이에 대한 수량과 등숙률 반응의 최대경계선을 계산하였는데 냉각도일수가 증가하면 수량이 감소하는 지수함수로 잘 표현되어 기존의 연구들과 같은 결과였다. 3. 기상지수는 벼의 생육기간을 영양생장기, 생식생장기 및 등숙기로 구별하고 각 시기별로 수량 기상지수를 각 기상요소 기상지수를 기하평균하여 산출하였는데 각 시기별 수량기상지수의 수량변이 설명도는 각각 0.383-0.430, 0.460-0.534, 0.4603-0.587로 결정계수는 영양생장기＜생식생장기＜등숙기의 순으로 컸다. 4. 최대경계선 분석방법을 통하여 얻어진 각 생육시기별 수량기상지수를 기하평균하여 구한 종합수량기상지수와 수량과의 직선회귀식을 구하여 수량예측모형(Model I, II, III)을 작성하였다. Model I, II, III)은 각각 결정계수가 0.6512, 0.6703, 0.6129로 모든 생육단계에 걸쳐서 기간을 15-20일 단위로 세분하여 모든 기간의 수량에 대한 기상지수를 고려하여 전 생육기간의 종합수량기상지수를 산출한 Model II가 기상변화에 따른 수량변이의 설명도가 가장 높았다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of massage therapy and exercise therapy on body composition and blood cholesterol in the obese women. Sixteen college women were randomly assigned to aged $20.1{\pm}2.7$ years who had not exercised regurlarly, volunteered to participate in the present study as subjects. They completed a 12 weeks massage therapy and exercise therapy performed 3 times/week, for 60min/session. Massage put in exercise treatment effect of 12 weeks in BMI has shown a significant decrease those are before test $25.1{\pm}2.2$ to after test $23.7{\pm}3.2$(p<0.05). The waist measure/height has a difference by before test r=0.5 to after a test r=0.47, and waist measure/hips measure by before test r=0.8 to after test r=0.75. A total cholesterol(TC) average value has $187.6{\pm}36.9$ before test to $168{\pm}32.4$(p<0.05) after test, a significant difference. Also average value of LDLC has $114{\pm}33.8$ before test to $99.2{\pm}30.4$(p<0.05) that shows a difference, but HDLC was $52{\pm}7.5$ before test to $52.3{\pm}7.7$(p<0.05) after test which means a none difference. HDLC does not have any difference but total cholesterol and LDLC were significantly different. It was a short program of 3 times a week, 60 min/session but, a dance meditation exercise program with high strength self massage had given a big effect in consideration. Using these scientific studies data, wish a program related by obese could make an activation in a beauty part.

안지오텐신II 수용체(AT1 수용체)는 혈관수축과 체내 전해질이온 조절에 중요한 역할을 한다. AT1 수용체 길항제(ARB)는 고혈압 치료에 이용되며 최근에는 당뇨병을 포함한 대사질환에 효능이 있음이 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 ARB 처리 후 세포 내 인산화단백질에 인산화가 일어나는지를 antibody array를 이용하여 실험하였다. 아미노산세린 및 트레오닌에 인산화되는 단백질 6개, 티로신에 인산화되는 단백질 12개에 대한 항체를 선정하여 nitrocellulose membrane에 부착시켰다. AT1 수용체를 발현한 COS-1 세포에 로사틴(losartan)을 처리하였을 때 small GTPase인 RhoA의 세린 잔기에 인산화가 20% 증가함을 관찰하였다. RhoA는 세포골격의 재배열에 중요한 역할을 하며 세린 잔기에 인산화가 되면 활성이 억제된다. 본 연구결과로부터 ARB가 AT1 수용체에 의한 혈관수축을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 세포 신호룰 생성함을 알 수 있다.
