We selected the adequate cell line to be used for propagation and plaquing of R. tsutsugamushi in laboratory and identified R. tsutsugamushi serotype cultured in LuMA cells by nested PCR. As in this study, we concluded that. 1. LuMA cell was suitable for the study of the biology of rickettsiae-host cell interaction. 2. The plaque-forming unit (PFU) per ml of R. tsutsugamushi Karp strain propagated in embryonated egg yolk sacs was $10^{8.8}$ and the PFU/ml of Gilliam strain was $10^{7.1}$. 3. The rate and extent of cytopathic changes depended on the PFU titer of R. tsutsugamushi. 4. PCR with nested primer pairs was useful for identification of R. tsutsugamushi serotype cultured in human embryonic lung cells.

In this paper, we design a non-volatile memory IP, 1-kb one-time programmable (OTP) memory, used for power management ICs. Since a conventional OTP cell uses an isolated NMOS transistor as an antifuse, there is an advantage of it big cell size with the BCD process. We use, therefore, a PMOS transistor as an antifuse in lieu of the isolated NMOS transistor and minimize the cell size by optimizing the size of a OTP cell transistor. And we add an ESD protection circuit to the OTP core circuit to prevent an arbitrary cell from being programmed by a high voltage between the terminals of the PMOS antifuse when the ESD test is done. Furthermore, we propose a method of turning on a PMOS pull-up transistor of high impedance to eliminate a gate coupling noise in reading a non-programmed cell. The layout size of the designed 1-kb PMOS-type antifuse OTP IP with Dongbu's $0.18{\mu}m$ BCD is $129.93{\times}452.26{\mu}m^2$.

Recent evidence indicates that growth factors modulate response of mammary epithelial cells to environmental stress. The objective of this study was to examine the cellular and biochemical responses of mammary tissue to environmental stress caused by artificial mastitis. For experimental a, pp.oach, toxins of most mastitis causing organisms(Staph. aureus or Strep. agalactiae) and heat stress(42$^{\circ}C$) were artificially exposed to mammary tissue. Effects of these environmental stresses on cell growth, cell death and heat shock protein synthesis were examined. Lactating mammary tissure were cultured under basal medium(DMEM) su, pp.emented with insulin(10$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and aldosterone(1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml). All treatment groups in heat stress at 42$^{\circ}C$ incubation significantly decreased DNA synthesis rates in comparison with those at 39$^{\circ}C$(P<0.05), however, these decreased DNAa synthesis rates were recovered by addition of adenosine(10$\mu$M) and IGFI(10ng/ml). Similar results were obtained when tissue growth rates were measured by DNA content/tissue. Strep. agalactiae toxin did not significantly decreased DNA content/tissue in comparison with no treatment of bacterial toxin with or without heat stress, however, tended to decrease DNA contents/tissue without heat stress. In the fluorography analysis, heat stress(42$^{\circ}C$ incubation) slightly increased 35S-methoionine labelled 70kd protein synthesis. These results indicate that environmental stress caused by artificial mastitis slightly decreased mammary growth or mammary size, however, these results could be recovered by addition of adenosine and IGF-I.

Screening was performed to isolate biopolymer-producing microorganisms from natural sources. The bacteriological characteristics of this strain and physicochemical properties of the biopolymer produced were investigated. The bacterial strain was identified as a Bacillus coagulans. Crude biopolymer treated with ethanol and actone was purified to fraction I and II by ion exchange chromatography and gel chromatography (Shephadex G-100 and Shepharose CL-2B). Analysis of chemical composition and various color reaction revealed that the polymer is composed of amino acids. It was confirmed that fraction II is a homopolymer of glutamic acid and fraction I is a homopolymer of lysine by analysis data of amino acid analyzer, GC and IR.

The transposon TnphoA was used to generate avirulent mutants from a type A Pasteurella multocida. A suicide vector plasmid pRT733 carrying TnphoA, having the kanamycin resistant gene and harbored in Escherichia coli K-12 strain SM10(${\lambda}pir$), was mated with streptomycin resistant P. multocida P-1059 strain as recipient. This resulted in the generation of two TnphoA insertion mutants (transconjugants, tc95-a and tc95-b) which were resistant both to kanamycin ($Km^{R}$) and streptomycin ($Sm^{R}$), secreted alkaline phosphatase, and were avirulent to turkeys. Southern blot hybridization using two probes derived from internal fragments of TnphoA, confirmed the insertion of TnphoA into 12.9kb or 13.7kb DNA fragment from the EcoRV digested genomic fragments of transconjugants. The two transconjugants, tc95-a and tc95-b, were distinguishable from their parent strains by differences in ribotypes, and outer membrane protein profiles. TnphoA insertion in both transconjugants also resulted in constitutive expression of a 33Kd iron regulated outer membrane protein (IROMP). The gene encoding $Sm^{R}$ was also located within the same 12.9kb EcoRV genomic fragment from both transconjugants. Furthermore, our finding that the recipient P. multocida P-1059 $Sm^{R}$ strain and both transconjugants were avirulent to turkeys suggest that the either 12.9kb or 13.7kb genomic DNA contains the virulence gene and speculate that the presence of $Sm^{R}$ gene or TnphoA insertion may be responsible for regulating and inactivating the gene(s) encoding virulence in P. multocida.

Phosphorylation of amino acid residues in proteins, plays a major role in biological mechanism. Phosphorylation acts as a process regulating the protein activity in variable pathways such as metabolism, signal transduction and cell division. Therefore the development of ligands for phosphoamino acids are an important work for protein analysis and proteomics studies. In this study, RNA aptamers for o-phosphoserine, o-phosphotyrosine and o-phosphotyrosine which appears frequently in nature were developed by in vitro evolution method. We could obtain similar sequences from random RNAs of 40 mer by SELEX method through 10 cycles. As result, the aptamers for o-phosphoserine and o-phosphothreonine among phosphoamino acids aptamers showed high affinity of Kd=2.60 nM and 2.65 nM for their target molecules, respectively. In addition, these aptamers could be confirmed the high selectivity for their target.

나노입자는 벌크 재료와는 다른 광학적, 전기적, 촉매적 특징 때문에 최근 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 나노유체의 성질은 나노입자의 크기와 형상, 분산성등과 같은 여러 요인에 의해서 결정되어진다. 이러한 나노입자의 특징 때문에 여러 응용분야에서 활용되어지고 있다. 예를 들면, 일반 유체에 나노입자를 분산시키면, 열전도도와 대류열전달효과가 증대되어 진다. 이러한 나노유체의 제조법으로는 크게 두 가지로 분류되어 있다. 투스텝법은 환원법 혹은 기계적으로 제작한 나노입자를 일반 유체에 혼합시킨 후 분산을 시켜 제조하는 제조법이다. 원스텝법은 투스텝법과는 달리 한번에 나노유체를 제조하는 제조법이다. 일반 유체에서 나노유체를 제조함과 동시에 분산을 시켜서 제조한다. 최근, 유체내에서 나노유체를 제조함과 동시에 분산을 시켜 나노유체를 제조하는 새로운 기술인 유체 플라즈마법이 개발되었다. 하지만, 유체 플라즈마의 일반적인 거동과 해석이 명확하게 규명되지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 유체 플라즈마의 발생 메카니즘 규명을 위한 방전 시간, 전압, 단극 직류 전력, 극간거리에 따른 유체 플라즈마의 특징을 OES와 오실로스코프를 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한, 제조된 나노유체의 특징을 UV-vis nir spectropgotometer, HR-TEM, zeta-potential, EDS, ICP-OES, KD2 pro and lambda로 측정하였다. 유체 플라즈마를 각 조건에 따라 발생시켰고, 나노유체를 성공적으로 제조하였다. 유체 플라즈마의 주요 발생 원소는 산소와 수소이온으로 측정되었다. 유체 플라즈마의 강도는 전기에너지가 증가함에 따라서 증가함으로 측정되었다. 제조된 나노입자의 크기는 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함에 따라서 감소하였고, 대부분의 나노입자의 형상은 구형으로 제조되었다. 나노유체의 분산안정성 또한 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였다. 직경이 $18.1{\pm}5.0$ nm인 나노유체의 열전도도는 3%로 측정되었다. 유체 플라즈마에 의한 나노유체의 제조 메카니즘을 다음과 같이 제안한다. 유체내에서 전기에너지 인가에 따른 이온과 전자의 흐름은 유체 플라즈마를 발생시킨다. 기본 유체는 물이므로 유체 플라즈마의 주요 발생 원소는 수소와 산소이며, 인가되는 전기에너지량이 증가함에 따라서 이온과 전자의 흐름이 증가됨으로서 유체 플라즈마의 강도가 증가함으로 추측한다. 유체 플라즈마 발생은 전자의 흐름과 관계되어진다. 따라서, 유체내에 존재하는 전구체에 전자가 제공되어짐에 따라서 금 입자를 환원시켜 입자가 형성된다. 또한, 유체 플라즈마는 나노입자를 음전하로 대전시켜 분산안정성의 확보가 되는 것으로 추측되어진다.

Aggregation behavior of three kinds of benzindocarbocyanine dyes in aqueous methanol solution was studied by UV-Vis absorption spectrum. The results indicated that the three dyes all existed monomer-dimer equilibrium in aqueous methanol solution (concentration range $10^{−5}\;to\;10^{−6}$ M) at 25.0$\sim$41.0 ${^{\circ}C}$ for Dye 1, 28.0$\sim$49.0 ${^{\circ}C}$ for Dye 2 and 26.0$\sim$47.0 ${^{\circ}C}$ for Dye 3. The fundamental property of the three dyes as the dimeric association constant KD, the dimeric free energy ${\Delta$}G_D, the dimeric entropy ${\Delta$}S_D, and the dimeric enthalpy ${\Delta$}H_D were determined. The ${\Delta$}H_D of three dyes: Dye 1, Dye 2 and Dye 3 was -42.5, -15.1 and -18.9 kJ/mol, respectively. The experimental observations were the subject of a theoretical study including the ground-state geometries which were fully optimized using DFT at B3LYP/6-31G level. The effect of dye molecule structure on ${\Delta$}H_D was discussed by theoretical calculations.
