  • As buildings have been constructed higher and more complicated recently, the activities of the residents occurred in those multiplex buildings have also become more various. As a result, possibility and the size of the damage from the disaster like a fire are getting larger. So, many studies for preventing the damage in refuge situation are being conducted. In this study, a new process for finding the optimum refuge path is presented, which is different from existing methods. This new method operates by using the human movement detection system in the building for real time. And the process also shows the new way which can shorten the number of calculation for deciding the optimum refuge path. That new way is to make variables such as the velocity of smoke and person movement into a constant. Finally it will be applied to a multiplex building.

  • The development of rapid, infallible, and sensitive methods of detecting foodborne pathogens has received much impetus in recent years owing to an increased public awareness of the health hazards. For the rapid and simultaneous detection of these foodborne pathogens, a multiplex PCR method was developed. Yersinia enterocolitica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Shigella spp. are bacteria of concern because of their specific growing condition that enables them to live at low temperatures. In order to detect each pathogenic bacterium, specific primers from Y. enterocolitica, St. aureus, and Sh. flexneri were selected and validated successfully. To apply this method to food stored at low temperature, Y. enterocolitica, St. aureus, and Sh. flexneri were artificially inoculated in lettuce and incubated for enrichment. The multiplex PCR assays were able to simultaneously detect three pathogens, and the presence of three bands was observed at initial inoculation levels of approximately 1$\times$10$^1$ CFU/g in lettuce. Therefore, this method could be used for simultaneous detection of Y. enterocolitica, St. aureus, and Shigella spp. contaminated in lettuce during cultivation, transportation, preservation, and storage.

  • To develop the diagnostic method for the viral infection in apple, the partial genes corresponding to the N-terminal region of RNA polymerase of Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and coat protein of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) were characterized from the infected apple cultivars in Korea. Based on the nucleotide sequences of the characterized partial genes, the virus gene-specific primers were designed for the detection of ASGV and ACLSV infected in species of Malus. The RT-PCR using the primers for the genes of ASGV and ACLSV successfully gave rise to 404 and 566 bp DNA fragments, respectively. Using those viral gene-specific primers, the multiplex RT-PCR assays were also established to diagnose the mixed infection by ASGV and ACLSV simultaneously. Furthermore, the control primers, which have to be included for the RT-PCR as an internal control, were designed using the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding elongation factor $1{\alpha}(EF1{\alpha})$. This multiplex RT-PCR including the control primers provides more reliable, rapid and sensitive assay for the detection of ASGV and ACLSV infected in Korean apple cultivars.

  • Beetles Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis Kolbe (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) and Allomyrina dichotoma Linn. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are widely used in traditional medicine, and the number of insect-rearing farms is increasing in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to establish a multiplex PCR-based assay for rapid simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens causing insect diseases. Six insect parasites such as fungi Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae), bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae), Pseudomonas aeruginosa Migula (Pseudomonadales: Pseudomonadaceae), and Serratia marcescens Bizio (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae), and Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus were chosen based on the severity and incidence rate of insect diseases in South Korea. Pathogen-specific primers were designed and successfully applied for simultaneous detection of multiple infectious agents in farm-bred insects P. b. seulensis and A. dichotoma using multiplex PCR and high resolution capillary electrophoresis. Our results indicate that multiplex PCR is an effective and time-saving method for simultaneous detection of multiple infections in insects, and the QIAxcel capillary electrophoresis system is useful for quantitative evaluation of the individual impact of each infectious agent on the severity of insect disease. The approach designed in this study can be utilized for rapid and accurate diagnostics of infection in insect farms.

  • Purpose: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common lethal muscular dystrophy and is caused by the genetic variants of DMD gene. Because DMD is X-linked recessive and shows familial aggregates, prenatal diagnosis is an important role in the management of DMD family. We present our experience of prenatal molecular diagnosis and carrier detection based on multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and linkage analysis. Materials and Methods: During study period, 34 cases of prenatal diagnosis and 21 cases of carrier detection were performed at the Seoul National University Hospital. Multiplex PCR and MLPA was used to detect the exon deletions or duplications. When the DMD pathogenic variant in the affected males is unknown and no DMD pathogenic variant is detected in atrisk females, linkage analysis was used. Results: The prenatal molecular diagnosis was offered to 34 fetuses. Twenty-five fetuses were male and 6 fetuses (24.0%) were affected. Remaining cases had no pathogenic mutation. We had 24 (80.0%) cases of known proband results; exon deletion mutation in 19 (79.2%) cases and duplication in 5 (20.8%) cases. Linkage analysis was performed in 4 cases in which 2 cases (50.0%) were found to be affected. In the carrier testing, among 21 cases including 15 cases of mother and 6 cases of female relative, 9 (42.9%) cases showed positive results and 12 (57.1%) cases showed negative results. Conclusion: Prenatal molecular diagnosis and carrier detection of DMD are effective and feasible. They are useful in genetic counseling for DMD families.

  • Bacillus cereus causes two different types of food poisoning syndromes: diarrhea and emesis. The diarrheal syndrome is attributed to various enterotoxins, including nonhemolytic enterotoxin, hemolytic enterotoxin, and enterotoxin-T, whereas the emetic syndrome is caused by the dodecadepsipeptide toxin cereulide. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed to rapidly detect and identify B. cereus strains. Three primer pairs specific to regions within genes encoding nonhemolytic enterotoxin (nheA), molecular chaperonin (groEL), and cereulide synthetase (ces) were used to identify and differentiate between the enterotoxin-producing and emetic toxin-producing B. cereus strains. The cereulide-producing emetic B. cereus showed 3 PCR products of 325, 405, and 685 bp for the groEL, ces, and nheA genes, respectively, whereas the enterotoxin-producing B. cereus showed 2 PCR products without a ces gene specific DNA fragment. Specific amplifications and differentiations by multiplex PCR assay were obtained using 62 B. cereus strains and 13 strains' of other bacterial species. The detection limit of this assay for enterotoxin-producing strain and emetic toxin-producing strain from pure cultures were $2.4{\times}10^1$ and $6.0{\times}10^2\;CFU/tube$, respectively. These results suggest that our multiplex PCR method may be useful for the rapid detection and differentiation of B. cereus strains in foods.

  • 본 연구에서는 신선편이 양배추 내 Bacillus cereus의 최적 증균 온도를 선정하고 증균배양액에 소수성필터를 적용하여 multiplex PCR의 검출률을 확인하였다. B. cereus 증균온도는 B. cereus 균주 5 개를 혼합하여 1 Log CFU/mL이 되도록 증균배지에 접종하고 $30^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$, $42^{\circ}C$에서 증균한 뒤 3시간 간격으로 MYP agar에 도말한 후 계수하여 선정하였다. 소수성필터 미적용 그룹은 B. cereus 균주 5 개를 혼합하여 신선편이 양배추에 접종한 뒤 최적 증균온도에서 증균하였으며, 증균배양액을 가열하여 DNA를 추출한 뒤 multiplex PCR을 진행하였다. 소수성필터 적용 그룹은 증균배양액을 소수성 필터에 적용하고 필터에 있는 균을 멸균증류수로 현탁한 뒤 가열하여 추출된 DNA로 multiplex PCR을 진행하였다. 증균온도 확인 결과, 6시간 증균 시 $42^{\circ}C$에서 증균된 샘플($5.4{\pm}0.3Log\;CFU/mL$)과 $30^{\circ}C$에서 증균된 샘플($4.6{\pm}0.6Log\;CFU/mL$) 간 유의차가 확인되었다(p < 0.05). 소수성필터 적용 유무에 따른 multiplex PCR 결과, 1 Log CFU/g 접종된 샘플의 검출률이 소수성 필터 적용 전 60%(3/5)에서 100%(5/5)로 향상되었다. 2 Log CFU/g 접종 샘플은 소수성필터 적용 전 80%(4/5)에서 소수성 필터 적용 후 100%(5/5)로 검출률이 증가하였으나, 3 Log CFU/g 접종 샘플은 소수성 필터 적용 전후 모두 100%(5/5)로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 신선편이 양배추 내 B. cereus 검출 시 증균배양액에 소수성필터를 적용하고 multiplex PCR을 적용했을 때 신속하고 효율적인 검출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 캐놀라(canola)는 식용유 및 바이오 에너지 생산을 위해 전 세계적으로 널리 재배되는 작물이다. 캐놀라의 수요가 증가하면서 유전자변형 캐놀라에 대한 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 LM 캐놀라 재배면적이 해마다 증가하고 있다. 국내에서는 상업적으로 활용되는 캐놀라를 100% 전량 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 이에 따라 비의도적으로 유출 가능성이 있는 수입 LM 캐놀라의 안전관리 및 생태계 위해성 평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 수입 승인 유통 LM 캐놀라 5개 이벤트(Topas 19/2, Rf3, Ms8, RT73, T45)의 명확한 검출을 위한 동시증폭 검출법(multiplex PCR)을 확립하고자 하였다. PCR 반응 조건은 5개 LM 이벤트가 동시에 명확히 검출되는 최적 primer 농도 및 반응 조건을 통해 Topas 19/2 (95 bp), Rf3 (139 bp), Ms8 (250 bp), RT73 (317 bp), T45 (378 bp)의 서로 다른 생성물 크기로 명확히 구분되도록 하였다. 최적 primer 농도는 반응액 최종농도 0.3~1.0 pmol로 primer 쌍 마다 각각 다른 cocktail을 만들었고, PCR 반응 조건은 $95^{\circ}C$ 5분 반응 후, $95^{\circ}C$ 15초, $55^{\circ}C$ 20초 20회 반응하고, 다시 $95^{\circ}C$ 15초, $60^{\circ}C$ 20초 20 회 반응하였을 때 최적 검출이 이루어졌다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 multiplex PCR 검출 조건은 국내 수입 유통 LM 캐놀라의 자연환경 모니터링을 위한 검출에 있어 소요되는 연구인력, 비용 및 시간을 보다 효율적으로 개선할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
