In Japan, the membrane filtration is becoming a common technology for municipal water supply system especially for small plant. 6 years before (1991), the national research project of membrane filtration for small plant has started. The project was named as "MAC 21", MEMBRANE AQUA CENTURY 21. In the project the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 8 universities and 18 water treatment plant companies have been involved. This was the first attempt to research a common theme in joint with government, universities and private companies. After three years, the guide line for membrane filtration application for small plant has been established. This has promoted to install some actual plant. And also, another joint research for "RESEARCH OF MEMBRANE FILTRATION FOR ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT" has started in 1994 and completed in March, 1997. The project was named as MAC21. In the former project the main objectives were removal of turbidity and bacteria from water. However, in new project the objective was establishment of the further advanced membrane filtration technology which would be applicable for trace chemical components removal such as tri-halo-methane pre-courser, agricultural chemicals removal, offensive smell and taste removal and virus removal. For the objectives, application of nanofiltration and hybrid-system, a combination of micro-filtration ultra-filtration with biological, ozone and activated carbon treatment process have been studied. In addition, application of membrane filtration for treatment of back-wash waste water originated from membrane filters and conventional sand filters has.been studied. At the end of March of this year, about 30 membrane filtration plants are actually supplying the water, the total treatment capacity is about 6,000 m$^{3}$/day and another 20 will be installed within one year.led within one year.

Because of the cases of Japanese Encephalitis(J.E.) were reported every year in Korea. We, Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., produced J.E. virus vaccine, with lower price, since 1970 in order to prevent ourselves from being infected by the disease. And inoculated the J.E. virus vaccine for the children with a great success. We are going to report several questions which brought about in producing the J.E. virus vaccine by alcohol precipitation, protamine sulfate treatment method. The results obtained were as folows ; 1) In process treated with 40% alcohol, we used to ethanol made in Germany, but it was too expensive to use it. As the result which we had studied about it, we were satisfied with J.E. virus vaccine which produced with alcohol made in Korea, and then, we treated with accurate specific gravity of 40% ethanol for the precipitation of the virus. And also, we knew that it was the best method to be treated it for 3hrs, $13^{\circ}C$. 2) When we treated with protamine sulfate (0.025mg/ml), we acquired the highest potent titer, and suited into purpose for the nitrogen concentration. 3) The filtration of the purified J.E. virus vaccine, in case of millipore filter paper of large pore size was not suitable for the sterility. Therefore the pore size less than 0.8.$\mu$ (AA filter paper) in millipore filter paper was very suitable. But it seemed to be important subhects that the smaller was the pore size, the lower was the potent titer.

In this study, a novel antiviral coating method for the air filtration system of subway station was investigated. Using dry aerosol coating process, we developed a high-performance antiviral air filter with spark discharger and carbon brush type ionizer. Silver nanoparticles were produced by a spark discharge generation system with ion injection system and were used as antiviral agents coated onto a medium grade air filter. The pressure drop, filtration efficiency, and antiviral ability of the filter against aerosolized MS2 virus particles as a surrogate of SARS-CoV-2 virus were tested with dust contamination. Dust contamination caused the increase of the filtration efficiency and pressure drop, while the antiviral agents (in this study, silver nanoparticles) coating did not have any significant effect on the filtration efficiency and pressure drop. Using these properties, we suggested a novel method to maximize the antiviral performance of the antiviral air filter that was contaminated by dust particles. Moreover theoretical analysis of antiviral ability with dust contamination and re-coated antiviral agents was carried out using a mathematical model to calculate the time-dependent antiviral effect of the filter under actual conditions of subway station. Our model can be used to apply on antiviral air filtration system of subway station for prevention of pandemic diffusion, and predict the life cycle of an antiviral filter.

Respiratory face masks are protective facepieces that are designed to filter inhaled air. They are easy-to-use devices that can protect the wearer against various hazardous particles in the air. Respiratory face masks also prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria-containing droplets that are released from the coughing or sneezing of the infected people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, various types of face masks have circulated on the market. Their ability to filter sub-micron particles, which are the sizes of harmful particulate matter and airborne viruses, needs to be investigated. Their breathability, the easiness of breath through the mask, also needs to be considered. In this study, wwe evaluated the performance of filters used for different types of face masks certified by different standards including Korean (KF94, KF80, KF-AD), USA (N95), and Chinese (KN95) standards. We also tested the filters of nanofiber masks and surgical masks for which there are no standards for filtration test. The N95 mask filters showed the highest quality factor for capturing virus-sized particles. The other types of mask filters have acceptable performance except for nanofiber mask filters whose performance is very low.

Toxin protein from Ustilago maydis virus SH14 isolated in Korea was purified using ethanol precipitation, cation exchange, gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified protein was estimated to be 8.3 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The Nterminal sequence of the protein is L-G-I-N-C(K)-R-G-S-S-Q--C(K)-G-L-S-G which is highly homologous with that of P4 toxin, but the amino acid composition and electrophoretic mobility in a native PAGE of the toxin protein were totally different from those of P4 toxin respectively. The SH14 toxin was shown to have immunological cross-reactivity about 50% with P4 toxin when examined by Western hybridization.

CGMMV는 한국에서 수박의 주요 병원균이고, 수박 생산에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 이 연구에서는 박 종자의 CGMMV를 RT-PCR을 이용하여 신속하고 민감하게 검정하는 진단방법을 개발하였다. CGMMV-W의 외피 단백질 유전자 sequence에서 제작된 CGMMV에 특이적인 primer인 Wmfl과 Wmrl은 RT-PCR에 의해 420 bp의 증폭산물을 증폭하였다. RT-PCR에 의한 진단을 위하여 바이러스 추출과정을 간소화하고 종자 추출물의 반응 억제물질을 감소시키기 위해 ethanol 침전, double filtration, PEG 침전, phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol에 의한 추출법을 비교하였으며 phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol에 의 한 추출법이 민감성이 강한 방법으로 선발되었다. RT-PCR을 위해 선발된 primer들과 추출법은 1,000립의 건전 종자에 1립의 이병 종자를 혼합한 수준까지 판별이 가능하였다. 신속하고 민감한 RT-PCR에 의한 본 검정방법은 높은 반응 억제물질을 함유하는 박 종자에서 CGMMV의 특이적인 진단을 위해 유용한 방법이다.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is one of the few human oncogenic viruses, which causes a variety of malignancies, including Kaposi's sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease, and primary effusion lymphoma, particularly in human immunodeficiency virus patients. The currently available treatment options cannot always prevent the invasion and dissemination of this virus. In recent times, siRNA-based therapeutics are gaining prominence over conventional medications as siRNA can be designed to target almost any gene of interest. The ORF57 is a crucial regulatory protein for lytic gene expression of KSHV. Disruption of this gene translation will inevitably inhibit the replication of the virus in the host cell. Therefore, the ORF57 of KSHV could be a potential target for designing siRNA-based therapeutics. Considering both sequence preferences and target site accessibility, several online tools (i-SCORE Designer, Sfold web server) had been utilized to predict the siRNA guide strand against the ORF57. Subsequently, off-target filtration (BLAST), conservancy test (fuzznuc), and thermodynamics analysis (RNAcofold, RNAalifold, and RNA Structure web server) were also performed to select the most suitable siRNA sequences. Finally, two siRNAs were identified that passed all of the filtration phases and fulfilled the thermodynamic criteria. We hope that the siRNAs predicted in this study would be helpful for the development of new effective therapeutics against KSHV.

현재 우리나라에서 재배되고 있는 마늘은 오랜 세월에 걸쳐 바이러스 감염에 무방비상태로 방치된채 영양번식을 계속해 왔기 때문에 대부분의 품종들이 퇴화되어 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 마늘의 단위수량과 질의 향상을 기하기 위해선 바이러스 무감염 씨마늘의 육성, 보급에 의한 품종경신이 불가피할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 우리나라 마늘 재배지대 전역에서 가장 많이 발생하고 있는 모자이크병을 대상으로 바이러스의 분리, 검정식물상의 반응, 전염방법, 물리적성질, 순화방법, 혈청학적반응 및 형태등을 조사함과 동시, 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 적절한 검정방법을 구명하여 앞으로 바이러스 무감염 씨마늘을 육성, 보급하는데 필요한 기초자료를 얻을 목적으로 실시했으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 1970-1972년까지 3년간 전투의 주요 마늘재배지대를 조사한 바 우리나라에서 재배되고 있는 마늘의 거의 대부분이 모자이크병에 걸려있음이 관찰되었다. 2. 마늘 모자이크 바이러스는 Chenopodium amaranticelor에 즙액접종 함으로써 단일계통을 분리할 수 있었다. 3. 26종의 검정식물을 공시하여 마늘 모자이크 바이러스를 즙액접종한 결과, 접종 11-12일 후에 Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quince, C. album, C. koreanse 등 4종 식물의 접종엽상에 r국부병반 반응이 나타났다. 나머지 식물들에서는 병징이 나타나지 않았을 뿐 만 아니라 C. amaranticolor에 역접종했을 때도 바이러스는 회수되지 않았다. 4. 즙액접종에 의해 국부병반 반응이 나타날 상기 4종 Chenopodium속 식물중에서 C. amaranticolor 와 C. quinoa는 반응이 설민하고 정확하기 때문에 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 검정식물로 적당하다고 생각된다. 5. 감염주에서 유내한 종구와 주아는 모두 모자이크 바이러스에 감염되어 있었고 이들 감염종구와 주아를 통하여 $100\%$ 전염되었다. 6. 마늘 모자이크 바이러스는 감염종구와 주아의 즙액에 의해서도 C. amaranticolor에 기계적 전염이 되었다. 7. C. amaranticolor 상에 계통분리된 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 내열성은 $65^{\circ}-70^{\circ}C$, 희석한계는 $10^{-}2-10^{-3}$, 그리고 보존한계는 2 일이었다. 8. 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 순화는 2회의 분획원심과 Sephadex gel filtration에 의해서 가능했다. 9. 전자현미경하에서 관찰한 마늘 모자이크 바이러스는 길이 1200-1225mu 폭 10-12mu의 사상이었다. 10. 혈청학적 미량침강 반응법에 의해 마늘잎에서뿐만 아니라 인편과 주아에서도 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 검정이 가능했다. 11. 우리나라 5개 지방에서 수집한 마늘 종구 150개와 주아 30개에 대해 혈청학적방법으로 마늘 모자이크 바이러스의 감염률을 조사한 결과 $100\%$의 감염률을 보였다. 12. 마늘 모자이크 바이러스와 크기가 근사한 Potato Virus X. Potato virus Y, Potato virus S, Potato virus M 등과의 혈청학적 유연관계를 조사한 바, 마늘 모자이크 바이러스는 이들과 구별되는 다른 바이러스라고 생각된다. 13. 마늘의 모자이크 감염주에서 단일계통으로 분리하여 본 실험에 사용한 바이러스는 마늘의 바이러스 무감염주를 얻을 수가 없기 때문에 직접 마늘잎에 접종해서 모자이크톤의 병원이라는 것을 확인할 수 없었지만, 검정식물상의 반응, 혈청학적반응, 전자현미경적 관찰등의 간접적인 조사 결과로 미루어 미인록의 마늘모자이크 바이러스라고 생각된다.

In this study, we describe a new double layered nanoporous membrane suitable for virus filtration. One layer is an 80 nm thick film having cylindrical pores with diameters of 15 nm and a narrow pore size distribution. This layer is prepared by using a thin film of the mixture of a block copolymer and a homopolymer, and mainly acts to separate viruses. The support layer (${\sim}150\;microns\;thick$) is a conventional micro-filtration membrane with a broad pore size distribution. This asymmetric membrane showed very high selectivity and flux for the separation of human rhinovirus type 14 (HRV 14) which has a diameter of ${\sim}30\;nm$ and is a major pathogen of the common cold in humans.
