처음으로 real time으로 유전자 발현을 visualization할 수 있는 marker를 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 이 maker가 바로 green fluorescent protein(GFP; 녹색형광단백질)이다. GFP는1962년 Shimomura 등에 의하여 해파리인 Aequorea victoria에 존재함이 밝혀졌다(1). 그러나 30년이 지난 1992년이 되어서야 Plasher등에 의하여 GFP의 cDNA가 클로닝 되었고(2) 이후 지금까지 약 10년 동안 GFP는 생명과학분야에서 가장 각광받는 유용한 단백질 중의 하나가 되어 매우 다양한 연구에 응용이 되고 있다. 이렇게 GFP가 생명과학분야에서각광을 받게 된 이유로는 GFP가 모든 외래의 세포에서 형광을 발할 수 있는 활성을 가진 형태로 발현되기 때문이다(3). Chalfie 등은 처음으로 GFP를 대장균과 Caenorhabditis elegans에서 발현시켜 유전자의 발현을 모니터함으로써 GFP를 원핵 및 진핵세포 모두에서 사용할 수 있다는 것을 보고하였다(3), 이러한 발견을 통하여 GFP는 살아있는 세포, 조직 및 생물체에 해를 주지 않고 (non-invasive) 유전자의 발현을 측정하는 marker로서 사용할 수 있게 되어 cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology 및 cytology 등의 연구분야에 널리 이용되고 있다.

우리나라에서 표고버섯은 소비자의 선호도가 매우 높고, 전체 임산버섯 생산량의 약 97.7%를 차지하고 있는 매우 중요한 단기소득임산물중 하나이다. 이러한 표고버섯은 최근 신품종의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있어, 육종가의 권리 보호를 위하여 품종을 구분할 수 있는 분자마커 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 신품종 '산마루2호'를 37개의 표고버섯 품종으로부터 구분할 수 있는 CAPS 마커를 개발하였다. '산마루2호'의 유전체에서 Scaffold 2번 1803483에 위치한 단일염기 다형성(SNP)이 확인되었고, 이 SNP를 포함하여 증폭한 DNA는 제한효소 Hhal에 의하여 특이적으로 절단되지 않아 다른 표고버섯 품종들과 구분되었다.

Modern watermelon cultivars (Citrullus lanatus [Thunb.] Matsum.& Nakai var. lanatus) have fruits with diverse phenotypes, including fruit shape, rind patterns, and flesh color. Molecular markers enable efficient selection of plants harboring desirable phenotypes. In the present study, publicly available DNA markers tightly linked to fruit shape, rind stripe pattern, and flesh color were evaluated using 85 watermelon accessions with diverse fruit phenotypes. For fruit shape, the dCAPS SUN - Cla011257 marker revealed an 81% of marker - trait match for accessions with elongated or round fruits. For rind stripe pattern, the SCAR wsb6-11marker was effective for selecting Jubilee-type rind pattern from other rind patterns. For flesh color, the Clcyb.600 and Lcyb markers derived from a mutation in the Lycopene ${\beta}$ - cyclase (Lcyb) gene, were effective at selecting red or yellow flesh. Forty-eight accessions possessing diverse fruit - related traits were selected as a reference array and their genetic relationships assessed using 16 SSR markers. At a coefficient of 0.11, the 48 accessions grouped into two major clades: Clade I and Clade II. Clade I subdivided further into subclades I - 1 and I - 2 at a coefficient of 0.39. All accessions with colored flesh were classified into Clade I, whereas those with white - flesh were classified into Clade II. Differences in fruit traits between subclades I - 1 and I - 2 were observed for rind pattern and fruit color; a majority of the accessions with Crimson-type striped or non-striped rind were grouped together in subclade I - 1, while most accessions in subclade I - 2 had a Jubilee - type rind stripe pattern. These results imply that reference array watermelon accessions possess distinguishable genetic structure based on rind stripe pattern. However, no significant grouping pattern was observed based on other fruit-related traits.

식물세포의 형질전환을 위한 새로운 표지유전자의 개발은 식물유전공학의 중요한 관건이 되고 있다. 본 실험은 독성 adenosine 유도체인 9-$\beta$-D-arabinofuranosyl adenine (Ara-A)과 cordycepin등에 저항을 나타내는 adenosine deaminase (ADA) 유전자를 새로운 식물세포의 형질전환용 표지유전자로 사용코자 수행하였다. 정상식물체에서는 치사하는 농도인 Ara-A 100 $\mu$M과 cordycepin 50 $\mu$M이 함유된 선발배지에서 ADA 유전자에 의하여 형질전환된 연초식물체는 생존이 가능하였으며 성공적으로 형질전환체를 선발할 수 있었다. 또한 형질전환된 연초식물체에서 획득한 종자도 동일한 선발배지에서 ADA 유전자가 유전된 종자와 유전되지 않은 종자를 쉽게 구별할 수 있었다. 이런 결과는 동물유전자인ADA 유전자를 연초조직의 새로운 형질전환용 표지유전자로 사용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

For many stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation therapy, there is a need for indicator for evaluating the body function in paretic and non-paretic regions of stroke patients quantitatively. In this paper, the function of muscles and cells in paretic and non-paretic regions of severe and mild hemiplegic stroke patients was evaluated using multi-channel bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. The paretic and non-paretic regions of severe and mild stroke patients were quantitatively assessed by using bioelectrical impedance parameters such as prediction marker (PM), phase angle (${\theta}$), characteristic frequency ($f_c$), and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). The mean values of impedance vector were significantly discriminated in all comparisons (severe-paretic, severe-non-paretic, mild-paretic, and mild-non-paretic). The bioelectrical impedance parameters were proved to be a very valuable tool for quantitatively evaluating the paretic and non-paretic regions of hemiplegic stroke patients.

Purposes: Lung cancer is prevalent worldwide and improvements in timely and effective diagnosis are need. Pentraxin-3 as a novel serum marker for lung cancer (LC) has not been validated in large cohort studies. The aim of the study was to assess its clinical value in diagnosis and prognosis. Methods: We analyzed serum PTX-3 levels in a total of 1,605 patients with LC, benign lung diseases and healthy controls, as well as 493 non-lung cancer patients including 12 different types of cancers. Preoperative and postoperative data were further assessed in patients undergoing LC resection. The diagnostic performance of PTX-3 for LC and early-stage LC was assessed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) by comparing with serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1). Results: Levels of PTX-3 in serum were significantly higher in patients with LC than all controls. ROC curves showed the optimum diagnostic cutoff was 8.03ng/mL (AUC 0.823, [95%CI 0.789-0.856], sensitivity 72.8%, and specificity 77.3% in the test cohort; 0.802, [95%CI 0.762-0.843], sensitivity 69.7%, and specificity 76.4% in the validate cohort). Similar diagnostic performance of PTX-3 was observed for early-stage LC. PTX-3 decreased following surgical resection of LC and increased with tumor recurrence. Significantly elevated PTX-3 levels were also seen in patients with non-lung cancers. Conclusions: The present data revealed that PTX-3 was significantly increased in both tissue and serum samples in LC patients. PTX-3 is a valuable biomarker for LC and improved identification of patients with LC and early-stage LC from those with non-malignant lung diseases.

Bloomless cucumber fruits are commercially produced by grafting onto the pumpkin stocks (Cucurbita moschata) to restricted silicon ($SiO_2$) absorption. Inhibition of silicon absorption in bloomless stocks is conferred by a mutant allele of the CmLsi1 homologous to Lsi1 in rice. In this study, we characterized the Lsi1 homologs in pumpkin (C. moschata) and its cold-tolerant wild relative C. ficifolia ('Heukjong') in order to develop a DNA marker for selecting a bloomless trait and to establish the molecular basis for breeding bloomless stock cultivars of C. ficifolia. A Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker (CM1-CAPS) was designed based on a non-sysnonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, C>T) of the CmLsi1 mutant-type allele, and its applicability for Marker-assisted selection (MAS) was confirmed by evaluating three bloom and five bloomless pumpkin stock cultivars. Quantitative RT-PCR of the CmLsi1 for these stock cultivers implied that expression level of the CmLsi1 gene does not appear to be associated with the bloom/bloomless trait and may differ depending on plant species and tissues. A full length cDNA of the Lsi1 homolog [named CfLsi1($B^+$)] of 'Heukjong' (C. ficifolia), was cloned and sequence comparison between CmLsi1($B^+$) and CfLsi1($B^+$) revealed that there exists total 24 SNPs, of which three were non-synonymous. Phylogenetic analysis of CfLsi1($B^+$) and Lsi1 homologs further revealed that CfLsi1($B^+$) is closesly related to Nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) and most similar to CpNIP1 of C. pepo than C. moschata.

본 논문은 모바일 기반 양안식 HMD 기기를 사용하는 마커기반의 증강현실 시나리오에서 단안영상으로부터 삼차원 입체영상을 생성하는 효과적인 기법을 제안한다. 모바일 기기의 단안카메라로는 좌안과 우안에 대해 정확한 양안시차를 제공하는 양안영상을 생성할 수 없기 때문에, 기존의 양안식 증강현실 시스템에서는 좌안과 우안에 동일한 실세계 영상을 제공하여 입체감과 몰입감이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 마커기반의 증강현실 시나리오에서 대부분의 사용자들이 마커를 주시한다는 가정 하에, 기존 방법에 비해 높은 입체감과 시각적 편안함을 제공하는 단안카메라 기반 3차원 입체영상 생성기법을 제안한다. 마커와 카메라의 3차원 자세정보를 통해 단안영상을 3차원 공간상에 나타내고, 사용자의 좌안과 우안에 해당하는 가상의 두 카메라를 통해 단안영상의 마커영역과 마커 위에 증강될 가상물체에 대해서 시차를 계산한다. 마커 이외의 영역은 블러 효과를 적용하여 선명도를 낮추고 양안식 HMD를 통해 입체 콘텐츠를 감상할 때 발생하는 시각적인 피로를 감소시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법으로 생성된 3차원 입체영상이 기존 방법에 비해 높은 입체감을 제공하는지 여부를 세 가지의 사용자 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 실험결과, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 기존방법에 비해 높은 입체감을 제공하고 시각적인 피로가 크지 않는다는 것, 사람의 시차와 동일한 스테레오 카메라를 통해 촬영된 영상과 유사한 현실감을 사용자에게 제공한다는 것, 그리고 영상블러를 통해 사용자의 시각적인 피로도가 감소되었다는 사실을 확인하였다.

Objectives: Correlations of the levels of the nonspecific inflammatory markers C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and of the coagulation marker fibrinogen with the treatment period of wheel balanced cancer therapy were determined. Methods: Electronic charts of stage IV cancer patients hospitalized from February 1, 2008, to November 30, 2013, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients whose laboratory follow-up tests included at least two data points for at least one marker were included. Patients receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy or having Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) levels exceeding 2 were excluded. Correlations of the markers with the length of treatment for treatment periods ${\geq}21$ and ${\leq}20$ days were determined by gender and whether or not surgery had been performed. Results: Analyses of the CRP and the ESR revealed a higher proportion of patients with stable marker levels than with increased or decreased levels. Also, only the ESR in female and the CRP in male groups had higher proportions of patients with stable marker levels than with increased or decreased levels. The ${\geq}21$ day group had a higher proportion of patients with stable CRP and ESR levels than the ${\leq}20$ days group. Only the ESR in female and the CRP in male groups had higher proportions of patients with stable marker levels in the ${\geq}21$ day than in the ${\leq}20$ day group. In addition, only the CRP in the surgery group and the ESR in the non-surgery group had higher proportions of patients with stable marker levels in the ${\geq}21$ day group than in the ${\leq}20$ day group. Conclusion: For stage IV cancer patients at hospitals that offer Korean medicine, more than 21 days of long-term wheel balanced cancer therapy (WBCT) should help maintain the CRP and the ESR levels and should have a favorable effect on the survival rate.

In this paper we will deal with a calibration method for low cost motion capture system using psd(position sensitive detection) optical sensor. To measure the incident direction of the light from LED emitted marker, the PSD is used the output current ratio on the electrode of PSD is proportional with the incident position of the light focused by lens. In order to defect the direction of the light, the current output is converted into digital voltage value by opamp circuits peak detector and AD converter with the digital value the incident position is measured. Unfortunately, due to the non-linearly problem of the circuit poor position accuracy is shown. To overcome such problems, we compensated the non-linearly by using least-square fitting method. After compensated the non-linearly in the circuit, the system showed more enhanced position accuracy.
