  • Neutralized antibody titer of Akabane disease virus were performed from 810 dairy cows in 45 farming households from May 1992 to December 1993 in Incheon area. The 503 dairy cows at the 21 farming household were conducted from May to December 1992, 307 cows were from January to December 1993 The results obtained are summarized as follows 1. Evaluation of neutralized antibody titer of 810 dairy cows tested during two yews revealed that 68.1% (552 hearts) , during the four year revealed that 69.6% (350 heads), the later year was 65.8%(202 heads ) was more than antibody titer 16. 2. Antibody investigation according to area and years, showed no significant difference in the whole area and both years as 65-73% from 1992, and as 65-70% from 1993 had an antibody titer of above 16 or more. 3. Antibody investigation according to age, showed that 34.4% of cows aged below 2 had a titer of above 16, compared with 80.8% for cows aged above 5. It demonstrated that the younger cows had the lower titer level, and the older the higher. 4. Monthly variation of antibody titer showed that the highest level of antibody titer was observed in September, the lowest was in June. It meant that the best periods of vaccination were April, May, June. 5. The result of epidemidogical study to 40 farming households showed that 35 farms (87.5%) had abortions of which were 14 stillbirths, 5 abnormal births, and 13 farms (32.5%) had vaccination.

  • In order to secure practising rapid pattern(證, zheng) differentiation against acute infectious diseases like corona virus disease-19(COVID-19) showing rapid variation and contagion, a simplified classification of stages centering on the exterior-interior pattern identification with 2 step-subdivision by cold, heat, deficiency, excess pattern and pathogens is proposed. Pattern differentiation by compound patterns of 8 principles is made for the non-severe stage of general cold and the early mild stage of epidemic disease. Compound pattern's names of 8 principles about external infectious diseases are composed of three stages, that is disease site-characters-etiology. Based on early stage symptoms of fever or chilling etc., exterior, interior and half exterior and half interior patterns are determined first, and then cold, heat, deficiency, excess patterns of exterior and interior pattern respectively are determined, and then more concrete differentiation on pathogens of wind, dryness, dampness and dearth of qi, blood, yin, yang accompanied with constitutional and personal illness factors. Summarizing above descriptions, 4 patterns of exterior cold, exterior heat, exterior deficiency, exterior excess and their secondary compound patterns of exterior cold deficiency and exterior cold excess and so on are classified together with treatment method and available decoction for a standard measure of eight principle pattern differentiation.

  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) produces a severe hypersensitivity reaction caused by Herpes simplex virus or mycoplasma infection, vaccination, systemic disease, or other agents. Several studies have investigated the genetic susceptibility involved in SJS. To provide further genetic insights into the pathogenesis of SJS, this study prioritized high-impact, SJS-associated pathogenic variants through integrating bioinformatic and population genetic data. First, we identified SJS-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms from the genome-wide association studies catalog, followed by genome annotation with HaploReg and variant validation with Ensembl. Subsequently, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) from GTEx identified human genetic variants with differential gene expression across human tissues. Our results indicate that two variants, namely rs2074494 and rs5010528, which are encoded by the HLA-C (human leukocyte antigen C) gene, were found to be differentially expressed in skin. The allele frequencies for rs2074494 and rs5010528 also appear to significantly differ across continents. We highlight the utility of these population-specific HLA-C genetic variants for genetic association studies, and aid in early prognosis and disease treatment of SJS.

  • 구제역바이러스(FMDV)는 피코나바이러스 과에 속하는 바이러스로서 야생과 가축화된 소와 돼지에 감염된다. FMDV는 제어되기 어려워서 가축의 생산과 국제통상에 큰 장애가 되고 있다. FMDV RNA 게놈의 복제 과정에서 3D 중합효소가 특이적인 복제 기능을 담당하는데 게놈에 결합하는 부위가 매우 중요하다. 이 사실은 FMDV 게놈의 비코딩영역 내에서 3D 중합효소에 의해 인지되는 특이 RNA 구조가 관여함을 제시한다. 이 과정에서 cis-acting replication element (CRE)는 RNA 복제를 위한 개시에 필요하다. FMDV CRE는 15-17 뉴클레오티드의 고리와 이를 지지하는 이중가닥으로 형성된 줄기-고리 모양을 가지며 이들을 구성하는 RNA 뉴클레오티드 서열의 차이가 다른 RNA 이차구조를 생성한다. CRE 이외에 FMDV 복제를 위해서 많은 바이러스와 세포 인자들이 단백질-단백질 결합과 단백질-RNA 결합을 통해 협조적인 네트워크를 만들어낸다. 이 연구에서 국내에서 2010년부터 2017년 까지 구제역이 발생한 소와 돼지에서 FMDV를 분리하여 CRE 서열을 분석하였으며 이들 FMDV들은 A형과 O형의 유전자형을 가졌다. 흥미롭게 국내 FMDV들의 CRE RNA 이차구조의 변이들은 바이러스 간의 계통유전학적 상관관련성과 일치하며 특정 숙주 동물종의 FMDV 감염의 특이성을 밝혀주었다. 이를 토대로 국내 FMDV의 각 유전군의 분류는 독특한 기능적 CRE에 의해 특징지을 수 있으며 새로운 유전적 계통의 진화학적 연속성은 특징있는 CRE 모티프의 구분과 연관지을 수 있다. 그러므로 CRE의 특이적 RNA 구조는 숙주 동물종 의존적인 FMDV 부류의 부가적인 단서로 활용할 수 있음을 제안한다. 이들 연구 결과들은 향후 FMDV 대량감염이 발생할 때 숙주동물종의 특이성을 CRE 서열로 조기에 정확히 분석하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

  • 시설재배지를 대상으로 고추 정식 이후 황색 끈끈이트랩으로 총채벌레 발생을 모니터링하였다. 아울러 토마토반점위조바이러스(Tomato spotted wilt virus: TSWV)가 유발하는 고추 칼라병을 유관으로 조사하였다. 고추 정식 직후(3월 말) 낮은 밀도로 대만총채벌레(Frankliniella intonsa)가 트랩에 포획되었으며 4월 중순부터는 꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis)도 발견되었다. 이후 5월부터는 두 종이 전체 총채벌레의 98% 이상을 차지하였고, 이 가운데 대만총채벌레가 꽃노랑총채벌레보다 다소 많은 발생 밀도를 보였다. 전체 총채벌레의 발생 피크를 보면 5월 중순에 낮은 피크를 기점으로 6-7월에 발생 최성기를 보였다. 이후 총채벌레의 발생은 급격하게 감소하였다. 포획된 꽃노랑총채벌레의 암수 비율이 일정하지 않았는데 이는 이 곤충의 특이적 단성생식 가능성으로 이에 대한 실험적 증거를 제공하였다. 지역간 꽃노랑총채벌레의 유전적 거리를 COI 서열로 비교한 결과 원거리에서 채집한 꽃노랑총채벌레 집단과는 차이를 보였지만 안동지역 내에서 발생한 꽃노랑총채벌레는 COI 서열에서 높은 유사성을 보였다. 이들 주요 두 종의 총채벌레가 전파할 것으로 추정되는 고추 칼라병이 일부 시설재배지를 중심으로 발견되었으며 항혈청 및 분자진단을 통해 확인되었다. 더불어 감염 고추에서 채집된 꽃노랑총채벌레에서도 분자진단을 통해 TSWV를 검출하였다. 감염 TSWV의 게놈 구조를 비교하기 위해 기능성 단백질을 갖는 NSS, N, NSM의 유전자 서열을 분석하였다. 서로 다른 지역별 이들 유전자는 다수의 점돌연변이가 존재하였고 이들 가운데는 아미노산 서열 차이를 초래하는 오류 돌연변이를 포함하였다. 추출된 TSWV를 비보독충 꽃노랑총채벌레에 섭식 처리한 유충과 성충 모두에서 감염으로 일어났으나, 유충에게서만 바이러스 증식이 일어나는 것을 확인하였다.

  • We have found many beneficial effects of the long-tenn intake of Korean red ginseng (KRG) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-I infected patients, including the maintenance of CD4+ T cell count for 10 years with KRG only and the delayed development of resistance mutation to ZDV. In this study, to investigate whether KRG-intake could affect the clinical progression and nef gene variation, we determined 200nef sequences from 70 patients. Follow-up period was $8.8{\pm}2.9$ years and annual decrease in CD4+T cell was $41{\pm}57/ul.$ Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing were perfonned with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained at times during the study period. First, there was a significant correlation between survival duration and duration of KRG-intake $(36.8{\pm}38$ months)(P=0.000). There were significant correlations between the last NefProg score and CD4+ T cell count (r= 0.208, P<0.05) and annual decrease in CD4+ T cell count (r =0.346, P<0.01) in 70 patients. In addition, there were significant correlations between KRG-intake and annual decrease (r= 0.323, P<0.01), and the CD4+ T cell count itself (r=0.229, p<0.05). Furthennore, there was also a mild significance between the NefProg score and the duration of KRG-intake in only SP and RP (n=30, r=-0.281, P=0.067). In addition, we detected various defects in 21 patients $(30.0\%),$ not including 5 premature stop codons. Ten $(12.5\%)$ patients showed repeated deletion of an amino acid. Four of 10 patients were gross deletions and they were treated with KRG for more than 20 months. The number of patients with repeated gross deletions was significantly higher in the order of slow progressors $(18\%)$, typical progressors($3\%$), and rapid progressors($0\%$) (P<0.05). We also observed that long-tenn intake of KRG might make the change from A or D to T at position 54 and decrease NefProg score. Taken together, our results show clear evidence that the long-term intake of KRG has effects on nef gene variation as well as definite clinical usefulness.

  • In this study, a new triplex real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (tqRT-PCR) assay was developed for the rapid and differential detection of three feline viral pathogens including feline calicivirus (FCV), feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1), and influenza A virus (IAV) in a single reaction. The assay specifically amplified three targeted viral genes with a detection limit of below 10 copies/reaction. The assay showed high repeatability and reproducibility, with intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of less than 1%. Based on the diagnostic results of the assay using 120 clinical samples obtained from cats with feline respiratory disease complex (FRDC)-suspected signs, the prevalence of FCV, FHV-1, or IAV was 43.3%, 22.5%, or 0%, respectively, indicating that the diagnostic sensitivity was comparable or superior to those of previously reported monoplex qRT-PCR/qPCR assays. The dual infection rate for FCV and FHV-1 was 8.3%. These results indicate that FCV and FHV-1 are widespread and that co-infection with FCV and FHV-1 frequently occur in the Korean cat population. The developed tqRT-PCR assay will serve as a promising tool for etiological and epidemiological studies of these three bacterial pathogens, and the prevalence data for three feline viruses obtained in this study will contribute to expanding knowledge about the epidemiology of FRDC in the current Korean cat population.

  • The purpose of the present work is to investigate the removal characteristics of positively charged filters for capturing negatively charged particles such as bacteria and virus in water. In order to reduce the pressure drop and increase the filtration efficiency, the filter media, modified by charge modifier having positive functional groups, is developed and evaluated. Improved liquid filters have been developed with the modified surface charge to capture and adsorb particles by electrokinetic interaction between the filter surface and particles contained in an aqueous liquid. The positively charged filter media is composed of glass fiber, cellulose and poly-ethylenimine resin for positively charging with the variation of volume ratio. The zeta potential value of the positively charged filter is +37.92 mV at the glass fiber and cellulose content ratio of 50 : 50 with resin content of 100%, while that of the PSL test particle is -23.5 mV at pH 7. The removal efficiency of the electro-positively charged filter is 98% for PSL particles of 0.11 ${\mu}m$, while that of the negatively charged filter is 7%. The positively charged filter media showed the potential to be an effective method for removing fine particles from the contaminated water for liquid filtration.
