Tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) is a derivative of thyroid hormone T₄ and causes anti-angiogenesis by blocking T₄ binding to integrin α_vβ₃. In this study, we synthesized [^99mTc]Tc-Cys-Asp-Gly(CDG)-tetrac and evaluated it in vitro as a tumor angiogenesis imaging ligand. The CDG was conjugated to tetrac as a chelator for technetium-99m labeling. The cold vial containing CDG-tetrac, sodium glucoheptonate, and reducing agent was completed under nitrogen-filled atmospheric glove bag. [^99mTc]Tc-CDG-tetrac was synthesized in quantitative yield by heating the cold vial with [^99mTc]TcO₄^- at 100℃ for 30 min. In vitro serum stability of [^99mTc]Tc-CDG-tetrac was measured by incubating the radioligand in 50% fetal bovine serum at 37℃ and analyzing the incubation mixture by radio-TLC, which showed high stability over 6 h (≥ 98%). Cell binding study was carried out by incubating [^99mTc]Tc-CDG-tetrac with human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells at 37℃ for 6 h. The cell binding of the radioligand increased from 100% at 0.5 h to 293.7% at 6 h in a time-dependent manner. For blocking study, the cells were incubated with the radioligand in the presence of either tetrac (20 μM) or cRGDyK (20 μM) at 37℃ for 4 h. The results demonstrated that the cell binding of the radioligand was inhibited by tetrac (19.1%) or cRGDyK (35.6%), indicating specific binding of the radioligand to integrin α_vβ₃. Thus, this study suggests that [^99mTc]Tc-CDG-tetrac may be a potential radioligand for tumor angiogenesis imaging.

In this paper, we show that for any ${\sigma}$-complete Boolean subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathcal{R}(X)$ containing $Z(X)^{\sharp}$, the Stone-space $S(\mathcal{M})$ of $\mathcal{M}$ is a basically diconnected cover of ${\beta}X$ and that the subspace {${\alpha}{\mid}{\alpha}$ is a fixed $\mathcal{M}$-ultrafilter} of the Stone-space $S(\mathcal{M})$ is the the minimal basically disconnected cover of X if and only if it is a basically disconnected space and $\mathcal{M}{\subseteq}\{\Lambda_X(A){\mid}A{\in}Z({\Lambda}X)^{\sharp}\}$.

The synthesis and secretion of human angiogenin in E. coli by the natural leader sequence has been studied. We constructed a recombinant plasmid containing human angiogenin cDNA which encompassed all the coding region including leader sequence required for secretion. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into a suitable E. coli host. The angiogenin was detected in the culture medium and periplasm upon the induction of gene expression. The molecular weight of the secreted angiogenin was identical to that of authentic angiogenin purfied from human plasma when estimated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. showing that the natural leader sequence was recognized and processed by the secretion machinery of E. coli. The angiogenin concentration in the culture medium reached a maximum within 2 h when expressed at $37^{\circ}C$ with 0.02~2 mM IPTG. In contrast, the expression level increased gradually over time up to 11 h at $23^{\circ}C$ with 0.002~2 mM IPTG and at $37^{\circ}C$ with 0.002 mM IPTG.

1. 이용가능한 자료를 분석해 본 결과 우리나라 참조기의 평형어획곡선은 Schaefer model 보다 정방향으로 기울어져 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 시도해 본 여러 m치 가운데 m치가 0.2일 때 본연구에서 취급한 자료범위내에서는 가장 잘 맞는 평형어획곡선을 나타냈다. 3. m치가 0.2일때의 최대평형어획량은 37,306M/T로 나타났으며 1971년도의 흉어현상은 최대평형어획량을 훨씬 상회하는 1968년도의 어획량(45,392M/T)에 기인하는 것이 아닌가 추리된다.

Morus alba, known as White Mulberry, is one of the most common species of mulberry found in South Korea, along with M. australis, known as Korean Mulberry. During a routine survey to investigate fungal diseases on deciduous broad-leaved trees in 2020, leaf spots were consistently observed on the White Mulberry in Sejong-si (36°30'12.8"N 127°17'34.5"E) and Wonju-si (37°15'29.6"N 128°11'37.9"E), South Korea, with a disease incidence of approximately 70 to 80%. Symptoms included circular, tan or necrotic lesions surrounded by a dark margin on leaves, which, in some cases, the lesions coalesced to form relatively large necrotic regions. The pathogen was successfully isolated from M. alba, and was identified as Cladosporium pseudocladosporioides based on the phylogenetic analysis and morphology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf spot disease on M. alba caused by C. pseudocladosporioides in South Korea.

KHNP recently has obtained the approval for the commercialization of the modified 37-element (or 37 M) fuel bundle and now is loading the 37 M fuel bundles in CANDU-6 reactors in KOREA. One of the main issues for approval was the burnup limit. Due to CANDU design and neutronic characteristics, there was no specific burnup restriction of a fuel bundle. The absence of a burnup limit does not mean that a fuel bundle can stay in the CANDU reactor without a time limit. However, the regulator requested traditional design values as well as the burnup limit reflecting the computer code uncertainty. The method for the PWR burnup limit was not applied to the CANDU fuel bundle. Since there was no approved methodology to build the burnup limit with uncertainties, KHNP introduced a Monte-Carlo method coupled with a 95/95 approach to determine the conservative burnup limit from the viewpoint of the centerline temperature, internal pressure, strain measurement deviation. Moreover, to consider the uncertainties of various computing models, a converted power uncertainty was introduced. This paper presents the methodology and puts forward the limits on burnup, evaluated for each of the existing and modified fuel bundles, in consideration of the pressure tube aging condition.

Conditions for glutathione production in E. coli cells which possess pGH501 (2 gshI+gshII) were studied. In terms of ATP supply for the glutathione synthesis, two different systems have been constructed and compared. When the acetate kinase reaction of E. coli was used for ATP generation, 20 mM of L-cysteine was completely converted to glutathione by toluene-treated E. coli cells (100 mg/ml) harboring pGH501 within 2 h at $37^{\circ}C$. However, considering the economical aspects, the glycolytic pathway of yeast was chosen as a better system for ATP generation. The optimal concentrations of reactants for glutathione production were determined to be as follows; 80 mM L-glutamate, 20 mM L-cysteine, 20 mM glycine, 20 mM $MgCl_2$, 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5), 400 mM glucose, polyoxyethylene stearylamine ($5\;\mul/ml$), toluene-treated E. coli HB101/pGH501 (100 mg/ml), and dried yeast cells (400 mg/ml). The conversion ratio of L-cysteine to glutathione was 80% (about 5 mg/ml) under optimal condition within 6 h at $37^{\circ}C$.
