As majority of the traffic accidents in intersections is caused by human factor, a close examination is required on its contributing factors through measuring the psychological and physiological response according to the driving characteristics of the drivers and the road conditions. In this study, for the safety evaluation of individual intersection considering human factors of the drivers, electroencephalography reaction was measured utilizing cutting-edge measuring equipment and survey on drivers' cognitive characteristics in ordinary times and while driving test was conducted. The relationship between the electroencephalography response when approaching the intersection and cognitive evaluation survey data in driving test was clarified, and individual intersection safety evaluation model was built considering cognitive evaluation factor and the reaction of a bio-response electroencephalography data. As a result, I could find out that cognitive evaluation was made through the reaction of a bio-response (Electroencephalography) process because electroencephalography reaction of a bio-response showed differently by the physical characteristics of the intersection and cognitive evaluation had a difference.

현재 인류는 플라스틱(plastic) 세상에 살고 있다. 의류, 식품, 주거 생활 곳곳에 플라스틱이 존재하며, 플라스틱이 없는 세상은 상상조차 할 수 없다. 하지만, 플라스틱 사용량 증가에 따른 폐플라스틱의 배출량의 증가는 심각한 환경문제들을 야기하여 생태계뿐만 아니라 인간에게도 위협이 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 단순히 폐플라스틱의 처리에 그치지 않고, 이를 활용하여 새로운 고부가가치의 생성물을 제조하는 플라스틱 업사이클링(plastic upcycling) 시스템이 최근 주목을 받고 있으며, 현재 다양한 형태로 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그 중의 한가지로 본 기고문에서는 알칸 교차 복분해(cross alkane metathesis) 반응을 소개한다. 알칸 교차 복분해 반응은 수소화/탈수소화(hydrogenation/dehydrogenation) 반응과 올레핀 복분해(olefin metathesis) 반응으로 이루어져, 탈수소화 반응 후 생성된 이중결합 탄소를 갖는 두 개의 알켄 화합물이 자리바꿈을 통해 새로운 이중 결합을 형성하는 반응이다. 이 촉매반응 과정이 반복되면 저분자화된 새로운 알칸 화합물을 생성되는데, 이는 기존의 플라스틱 처리방식인 열분해 및 촉매 분해 공정보다 낮은 반응온도를 요구한다. 또한 이를 통해 상대적으로 높은 순도의 가솔린 및 디젤을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 폐플라스틱 처리 공정의 새로운 대안기술이 될 수 있다. 본 기고문에서 폐플라스틱 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 폴리에틸렌을 처리하는 대안기술로써 알칸 교차 복분해 반응의 메커니즘과 및 촉매의 역할, 그리고 반응성에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 기술한다.

DLA class I complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) cross-match method was established to control hyperacute rejections in organ transplantation. The aim of the present study is to investigate if DLA class 1 CDC corssmatch method is effective to prevent hyperacute rejections in canine renal allografts. Seven mongrel dogs of similar age and weight were used. Erythrocyte crossmatch was first performed and only the negatives were used. Among the same blood types, CDC cross-match was performed. Anti-dog serum, Hank's balanced salt solution(HBSS), and tile self-serum was used as a positive-, a negative-, and all auto-control respectively. After the reaction with class I complement, it was stained with eosin and scored by international cytotoxicity scoring system under inverted phase microscope. According to these results, kidneys oi CDC negatives among same blood types were cross-transplanted to observe the incidence of hyperacute rejections. One of four 1.2 B blood type dogs had autoantibodies. here were negative CDC results among each blood type, and also there were negative results between different blood types. Two pairs with the same blood types and negative CDC results underwent allo-transplantation each other. There were no hyperacute rejections. DLA cross-match method studied in this experiment for canine renal allograft can be effective to prevent hyperacute rejections. it may be applicable for the future studies of histocompatibility testing in canine renal allografts.

Purpose : Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6B and 6A are important pathogens in pneumococcal infections. It is commonly assumed that the 6B vaccines elicit antibodies cross-reacting with the 6A serotype and the cross-reactive antibodies protect against infections of 6A. To examine this assumption, we measured the opsonophagocytic capacity to serotype 6A and 6B in adults. Methods : Twenty-four adults were immunized with pneumococcal PS vaccine that contains 6B PS. Their preimmune and postimmune sera were studied for the capacity to opsonize 6B and 6A serotypes with opsonophagocytic killing assay. Results : Opsonization titers to 6B were significantly higher than those to 6A in preimmune and postimmune sera. Because significant increasesof opsonization titers were observed in adults with polysaccharide vaccines for 6A(cross-reactive) serotype as well as for 6B(vaccine) serotype, 6B PS in vaccine elicited cross-protective antibodies to 6A, but not in all cases. One adult did not have detectable levels of opsonization titers to 6A after immunization. Conclusion : Although 6B PS in pneumococcal PS vaccine elicits antibodies cross-reacting with 6A serotype in some adults, it may not occur always. This study should be extended to other age groups such as children and elderly people. The presence of the cross-protection should be directly determined in clinical trials of the pneumococcal vaccines as well as during the postlicensure monitoring surveys by serotyping the clinical isolates of pneumococci.

본 연구의 목적은 인간의 동맥경화증에서 Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis)와 인체 열충격단백 60의 T-세포 및 교차성 B-세포 epitope를 규명하고 수립된 T-세포주의 T-세포 주요조직적합체 양상을 파악하려는 데 있다. P. gingivalis 열충격단백-반응성 T 세포주와 환자의 혈청을 이용하여 P. gingivalis 열충격단백60 분자를 구성하는 104개의 중복성 합성 펩타이드의 T-세포 epitope과 B-세포 epitope을 규명하였다. 인체 열충격단백60에 대한 B-세포 epitope도 같은 방법으로 파악하였다. P. gingivalis, P. gingivalis 열충격단백60 또는 인체 열충격단백60에 대한 IgG 항체는 모든 동맥경화증 환자에서 상승하였다. P. gingivalis 열충격단백60의 3, 15, 24, 33, 45, 53, 64, 84, 88, 99번 펩타이드가 주요한 T-세포 epitope였고 이것들은 T-세포 및 B-세포 공동 epitope이기도 했다. 또한 인체 열충격단백60 교차반응 B-세포 epitope은 15, 29, 53, 56, 69, 74번 펩타이드로 판명되었다. 대부분 환자의 주요조직적합체는 $HLA-DRB1^{\ast}1504$와 $HLA-DZB1^{\ast}0603$으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 P. gingivalis 열충격단백60은 제 2급 주요조직적합제-제한적으로 분해되고 전달되었으며 이 단백질이 공통적인 T-세포 및 B-세포 epitope를 가지면서 동시에 인체 열충격단백60과 교차성 B-세포 epitope을 가지면서 동맥경화증의 면역조절기능에 관여한다고 볼 수 있다.

To observe the antigenic protein fractions in saline extract of Spirometra mansoni plerocercoid (sparganum), the crude extract was separated in reducing conditions of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE). The proteins, transferred by celctrophoresis to introcillulose paper, were reacted with sera from 15 surgically confirmed sparganosis and 24 cysticercosis patients for immunoblotting. Out of 30 identified protein bands in the extract, bands of 29 and 36 kilodaltons (kDa) were the strongest and the most frequently reacting with specific antibody (IgG) in sparganosis sera. Bands of highter molecular weight also reacted with the sera but their frequency of reactions was lower. Sera of cysticercosis reacted with different protein bands in saline extract of sparganum, but the cross reactions were observed in strong antigenic bands of 29 and 36 kDa.

A sensitive competitive heterogeneous bioluminescence immunoassay for serotonin was developed using photoprotein, aequorin as a label for the first time with the optimal assay conditions; especially, serotoninavidin conjugate was prepared by Mannich reaction and the synthetic process of serotonin-avidin conjugate was optimized by controlling the initial molar ratios of serotonin, formaldehyde and avidin (1:12,000:25). The developed bioluminescence immunoassay for serotonin showed good sensitivity (LOD of 0.68 ng/mL) with wide area of dynamic range ($5.0{\times}10^{-10}\;M\sim5.0{\times}10^{-7}\;M$). (cf. the range for serotonin in human blood serum is $151{\pm}45\;ng$/mL). In addition, cross-reactivity studies demonstrated that 5-methoxytryptamine showed some cross-reactivity (28.0%), whereas 3-methylindole, melatonin and 5-hydroxylindole-3-acetic acid showed no crossreactivity, and good recoveries were obtained in serum. Thus, this developed method provides a good tool to monitor serotonin in serum.

Peach (Prunus persica) has been recognized as a food allergen for over 20 years. However, there is little information about cross-reactivity with other foods. The aim of this study was to research cross-reactivity of Korean cherry and hot pepper on patients allergic to peach and its stability by digestive enzyme treatment. Peach, Korean cherry, and hot pepper proteins were extracted and separated by Tricine-SDS-PAGE analysis. The protein extracts had a wide range of molecular weight, from 3 kDa to more than 26 kDa, and displayed different patterns of protein bands on Tricine-SDS-PAGE. Peach allergic patients' sera were used to detect the allergenic protein in three samples. Three peach allergic patients' sera reacted strongly with 9 kDa protein of peach, which was the expected lipid transfer protein (LTP) as the major allergen of peach and was detected with anti-LTP1 polyclonal antibody. However, the reactivity of the 23 kDa protein in Korean cherry and hot pepper protein was stronger than that of the 9 kDa protein. The stability of protein extracts on digestive enzyme treatment was examined using simulated gastric fluids (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluids (SIF), in which digestive enzyme stability is one of the characteristics of allergen potentially causing food allergy. Findings confirmed that allergenic proteins in peach, Korean cherry, and hot pepper were not completely digested by SGF and SIF treatments from results of SDS-PAGE analysis. These results confirmed that Korean cherry and hot pepper might cause cross-reactivity in peach allergic patients, and its allergenic proteins have stability against digestive enzymes.

The development of antibody titers and crossreaction between Sarcocystis and Toxoplasma were investigated by means of IF A test and ELISA in pigs experimentally infected with $1.5{\times}10^6$ S. suicanis sporocysts and 10,000 T. gondii oocysts, respectively. The intact and soluble Sarcocystis antigens were prepared from the bradyzoites harvested by peptic digestion of infected pork. The intact and soluble Toxoplasma antigens were prepared from the tachyzoites in mouse peritoneal cavity. IgG antibodies in pigs infected with Sarcocystis and Toxoplasma, respectively were detected first at 2 weeks post infection on both IF A test and ELISA. The antibody titer to Toxoplasma reached its maximum at 6 weeks post infection and decreased thereafter. The antibody titer to Sarcocystis reached its maximum terminally. The cross-reaction titer in pigs infected with Toxoplasma against Sarcocystis antigen was up to 1 : 16 in IFA test and up to 1 : 32 in ELISA. The titer in control group was below 1 : 4 in both reactions.
