배경: 팔로네징후의 수술적 교정은 좋은 조기 및 만기 성적을 보이고 있다. 그러나 장기적인 추적 관찰 기간 동안 발생하는 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착은 지속적으로 문제가 되고 있으며, 이는 최초 완전교정술 시 재건한 우심실 유출로 크기 정도에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 이에 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 팔로네징후로 완전교정술을 시행 받은 환자들을 대상으로 장기적으로 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기를 찾기 위한 전향적 연구이다. 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 팔로네징후 62명(남자 34 명, 여자 28명)의 환자들을 완전교정하였고 우심실 유출로 재건 후 폐동맥 판륜의 크기(직경) 를 측정하였으며, 심초음파를 정기적으로 시행(퇴원 시, 6개월, 1년, 2년, 3년)하여 폐동맥 판막 역류 및 협착 정도를 추적 관찰하였다. 결과: 우심실 유출로를 재건한 방법에 따라 경판륜 그룹(12명)과 비경판륜 그룹(50명)으로 구분하였고 우심실 유출로의 크기는 폐동맥 판륜의 직경을 기준으로 경판륜 그룹에서 Z value -1 $(-3.6{\sim}0.8)$, 비경판륜 그룹에서 2.1 $(-5.2{\sim}1.5)$ 이었다 수술을 마치고 측정한 우심실 /좌심실의 압력 비율은 경판륜 그룹이 평균 $0.44{\pm}0.09$, 비경판륜 그룹이 $0.42{\pm}0.09$로 두 그룹 간에 차이가 없었으며, 폐동맥 판륜 크기와 우심실/좌심실 압력 비율 간의 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 두 그룹 중에서 중등도 이상의 페동맥 판막 역류의 발생은 경판륜 그룹에서 의미 있게 많았다(p<0.01). 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 수술 시 교정한 폐동맥 판륜 크기에 따른 폐동맥 판막 역류의 발생을 분석하였을 때 Z value가 0보다 크게 교정된 경우 폐동맥 판막 역류가 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.05) 경도-중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착의 발생은 Z value가 -1.5보다 작은 경우 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 관찰 기간 중 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 의미 있는 중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착은 4명 발생하였고, 이들의 Z value는 각각 -3.8, -3.8, -2.9, -1.8이었으며 3명은 재수술, 1 명은 풍선 판막 성형술을 시행하여 교정하였다. 결론: 팔로네징후의 완전교정술을 시행하였을 때 경판륜 우심실 유출로 재건술을 시행한 그룹은 폐동맥 판막 역류가 현저하게 많았다. 비경판률 재건을 시행하는 경우 우심실 유출로의 폐동맥 판륜 크기를 Z value -1.5 에서 0사이가 되도록 재건하고 1.5 이하인 경우에는 폐동맥 판막 협착 가능성에 대한 면밀한 추적 관찰을 시행하는 것이 필요하다.

본 연구는 자연 속에 미량(존재비: 0.012 %)으로 존재하는 $^{180}Ta$의 중성자포획 공명에 대하여 포획단면적의 계산치와 측정치를 비교하여 분석하였다. 일반적으로 중성자 공명은 Breit-Wigner식으로 정의되며, 식에는 공명에너지를 중심으로 공명의 폭을 결정하는 다양한 인자들로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 $^{180}Ta$의 경우 중성자포획단면적과 공명에 대한 정보가 잘 알려져 있지 않고 실험적으로도 측정되어진 예가 현재까지는 없는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 천연 Ta속에 포함되어진 $^{180}Ta$에 의한 중성자 포획에 의해 발생되는 감마선을 관측하여 $^{180}Ta$의 공명을 분석하고 Mughabghab에 의해서 계산되어진 공명인자를 사용하여 1 eV이하의 에너지에 대한 중성자포획단면적을 계산하고 비교분석하였다. 측정을 위해서 교토대학원자로 실험소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속기를 이용하여 중성자 TOF 방법으로, 에너지 영역 0.003 eV에서 10 eV에 걸쳐 측정하였다. 측정을 위해서는 12개의 $Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}(BGO)$섬광체로 구성된 전에너지 흡수검출장치로 $^{180}Ta(n,{\gamma})^{181}Ta$ 반응으로부터 나오는 즉발감마선을 측정하였다.

Streptomyces sp. AD001 is a Gram-positive soil actinomycetes secreting an uncharacterized 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) oxidizing enzyme, whose activity is similar to the previously known Actinomycetes lignin-peroxidase (ALiP). This extracellular peroxidase was purified from Streptomyces sp. AD001 as a single protein band on an SDS-PACE by ammonium sulfate fractionation, Q-sepharose, concanavalin A, and Bio-Gel HTP column chromatographies. The molecular mass of the purified peroxidase was determined by SDS-PAGE to be 45.2 kDa, and 49.7 kDa with MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. The highest level of peroxidase activity was observed at pH 7.5 and $30^{\circ}C$. The amino terminal sequence of the purified peroxidase (G-E-P-E-E-G-N-V-D-G-T-L) showed no significant homologies to my known proteins, suggesting that Streptomyces sp. AD001 may secrete a novel kind of bacterial peroxidase Initial rate kinetic data of the 2,4-DCP oxidation were best modeled with a random-binding bireactant system.

To identify genes involved in rice Pi5-mediated disease resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae, we compared the proteomes of the RIL260 rice strain carrying the Pi5 resistance gene with its susceptible mutants M5465 and M7023. Proteins were extracted from the leaf tissues of both RIL260 and the mutant lines at 0, 24, and 48 h after M. oryzae inoculation and separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis identified eight proteins that were differently expressed between the resistant and susceptible plants (three down- and five up-regulated proteins in the mutants). The down-regulated proteins included a triosephosphate isomerase (spot no. 2210), a 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate-independent phosphoglycerate mutase (no. 3611), and an unknown protein (no. 4505). In addition, the five up-regulated proteins in the mutants were predicted to be a fructokinase I (no. 313), a glutathione S-transferase (no. 2310), an atpB of chloroplast ATP synthase (no. 3616), an aminopeptidase N (no. 3724), and an unknown protein (no. 308). These results suggest that proteomic analysis of rice susceptible mutants is a useful method for identifying novel proteins involved in resistance to the M. oryzae pathogen.

This study was done for the determination and excretion profile of adrenosterone and its metabolites in human urine using both liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. Adrenosterone and its two metabolites were detected in human urine after administration a healthy volunteer with 75 mg of adrenosterone. We found that adrenosterone-M1 ($C_{19}H_{26}O_3$) was a reduction and adrenosterone-M2 ($C_{19}H_{26}O_4$) was a hydroxylation at C-ring, which did not know the exact position of the C-ring. The adrenosterone parent was detected by GC/TOF-MS, but not detected by LC/APCI/MS because of low intensity. Adrenosterone and its two metabolites were excreted as their glucuronided fractions. The recovery of this method ranged from 100.7 to 118.4% and the reproducibility and accuracy test were 85.5 to 112.0% and 1.1 to 8.4%, respectively. The excretion studies showed that adrenosterone and its metabolites were detectable in human urine during a 48 h period after oral administration, with maximum level of excretion at 4.1 h. The glucuro-/sulfaconjugated ratio of adrenosterone, M1 and M2 was 0.73 ${\pm}$ 0.03, 0.96 ${\pm}$ 0.06 and 0.89 ${\pm}$ 0.03 (n = 6), respectively. The amounts of adrenosterone excreted in urine were 14.75 ng for 48 h. Also, the maximum level of androsterone and 11$\beta$-hydroxy androsterone, which were endogenous steroids, were reached 4.1 h after the oral administration of adrenosterone.

Synthetic polymers such as polyimide, polycarbonate, and poly(methyl methacrylate) are long chain molecules which consist of carbon, hydrogen, and heteroatom linked together chemically. Recently, polymer surface can be modified by using a high energy ion beam process. High energy ions are introduced into polymer structure with high velocity and provide a high degree of chemical bonding between molecular chains. In high energy beam process the modified polymers have the highly crosslinked three-dimensionally connected rigid network structure and they showed significant improvements in electrical conductivity, in hardness and in resistance to wear and chemicals. Polyimide films (Kapton, types HN) with thickness of 50~100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used for investigations. They were treated with two different surface modification techniques: Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII) and conventional Ion Implantation. Polyimide films were implanted with different ion species such as Ar+, N+, C+, He+, and O+ with dose from 1 x 1015 to 1 x 1017 ions/cm2. Ion energy was varied from 10keV to 60keV for PSII experiment. Polyimide samples were also implanted with 1 MeV hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen ions with a dose of 1x1015ions/cm2. This work provides the possibility for inducing conductivity in polyimide films by ion beam bombardment in the keloelectronvolt to megaelectronvolt energy range. The electrical properties of implanted polyimide were determined by four-point probe measurement. Depending on ion energy, doses, and ion type, the surface resistivity of the film is reduced by several orders of magnitude. Ion bombarded layers were characterized by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), XPS, and SEM.

So far it has been generally considered that proteomic approaches are very useful for studying plant-microbes interaction. In this review, recent studies based on papers published from 2010 to 2013 have investigated proteomics analysis in various interaction during plant-fungal pathogen infection by means of gel-based proteomics coupled with mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis. In rice, three papers focused on rice-Magnaporthe oryzae interaction were mainly reviewed in this study. Interestingly, another study showed proteomic changes in rice inoculated with Puccinia triticina, which is not only an fungal pathogen in wheat and but also results to the disease resistance with non-host defense manner in rice. Additionally, proteomics analysis has been widely subjected to understand defense mechanism during other crops (wheat, tomato, strawberry and mint) and their fungal pathogen interaction. Crops inoculated are analyzed to identify differentially regulated proteins at various tissues such as leaf and apoplast using 2-DE analysis coupled with various MS approaches such as MALDI-TOF MS, nESI-LC-MS/MS and MudPIT, respectively. Taken together, this review article shows that proteomics is applicable to various organisms to understand plant-fungal pathogen interaction and will contribute to provide important information for crop disease diagnosis and crop protection.

In this study, the extracellular metalloprotease from Serratia marcescens PPB-26 was purified to homogeneity via ethanol fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Thus, a 3.8-fold purification was achieved with a 20% yield and specific activity of 76.2 U/mg. The purified protease was a 50-kDa monomer whose optimum pH and temperature for activity were 7.5 and $30^{\circ}C$ respectively; however, it was found to remain active in the 5-9 pH range and up to $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. The protease had a half-life of 15 days at $4^{\circ}C$, an optimum reaction time of 10 min, and an optimum substrate (casein) concentration of 0.25%. Furthermore, the Michaelis constant ($K_m$) and reaction velocity ($V_{max}$) of the protease were calculated to be 0.28% and $111.11{\mu}moles/(min{\cdot}mg)^{-1}$, respectively. The protease was stable when subjected to metal ions (2 mM), showing increased activity with most (especially $CoCl_2$ and $MgSO_4$ (30.54% increase)). It was also stable when exposed to oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and detergents (5% v/v for 60 min). It retained 93% of its activity in non-ionic detergents (Tween-20, Tween-80, and Triton X-100). Moreover, wash performance analysis in commercial detergents (Ariel and Tide) showed that not only was the protease capable of protein stain removal, but also reduced cleaning time by 80% when added to detergents. Thus, the Serratia marcescens PPB-26 metalloprotease appears to be a promising new candidate as a laundry additive in the detergent industry.

본 연구에서는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 core-shell 구조의 CoAl₂O₄@Al 복합체를 Al 금속의 수열반응을 통하여 합성하고, 이를 Rh 촉매의 담지체로 적용하여 구조적, 촉매화학적 특성을 분석하였다. Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al (3 wt% Rh) 촉매는 단순침적법(incipient wetness impregnation)으로 제조하였고, 특성의 비교평가를 위하여 공침법(co-precipitation)으로 합성한 CoAl₂O₄를 담지체로 하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ (3 wt% Rh) 촉매를 단순침적법으로 제조하였다. 이들 촉매들은 N₂ 흡착, XRD, 전자 주사현미경, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), CO 화학흡착 분석을 통해서 그 특성을 분석하였고, 글리세롤 수증기 개질 반응(550 ℃)을 통한 수소전환반응에 적용하여 촉매적 특성을 평가하고 분석하였다. 글리세롤 수증기 개질반응에 대하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al 촉매는 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에 비하여 약 2.8배 높은 글리세롤 전환 turnover frequency (TOF)를 보여주었고, 이는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 복합체를 통한 원활한 반응열의 전달에 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. CoAl₂O₄@Al 및 CoAl₂O₄ 담지체에서도 환원에 의하여 노출된 일부 Co 금속에 의한 촉매적 활성이 관찰되었는데, Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al과 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에서와 마찬가지로 core-shell 구조체인 CoAl₂O₄@Al이 CoAl₂O₄ 보다 높은 촉매적 활성을 보였다. 그러나, 이들 촉매는 글리세롤 개질반응에서 비교적 높은 비활성화를 보여주었고 이는 촉매표면의 탄소침적(coking)에 기인한 것으로 판명되었다.
