치아 우식증은 감염성 질환의 하나로 치아우식의 원인균은 Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans)와 같은 mutans steptococci로 알려져 있다. S. mutans가 치면에 접착하여 군집을 형성하는 능력은 균독성에 중요한 역할을 하는데, AgI/II와 같은 세포 표면의 섬유성 단백질을 매개로 한다. Secretory IgA는 타액이나 누.비액, 초유, 그리고 폐나 소화기관의 분비액에서 선택적으로 다량 발견되는데 타액에서 secretory IgA는 S. mutans의 대사활동을 억제하고 치면으로의 부착을 방해한다. 이전의 몇몇 연구에서 S. mutans에 특이적인 타액 내 IgA와 우식경험도는 역상관관계를 보인다고 발표하였다. 그러나 다른 연구에서 통계적 유의성이 없다고 보고하기도 하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 소아, 성인의 치아우식증과 S. mutans의 AgI/II에 특이적인 타액 내 IgA와의 관계를 알기위한 것이다. 이를 위해 소아(평균6세) 28명, 성인(20-30세) 18명을 대상으로 Group Ⅰ(deft index ${\leq}$ 3), Group II(deft index ${\geq}$ 4), Group III(DMFT index ${\leq}$ 3), Group IV(DMFT index ${\geq}$ 4)로 분류하였다. 그리고 caries resistant group(CR group, deft or DMFT index ${\leq}$ 3)과 caries susceptible group(CS group, deft or DMFT index ${\geq}$ 4)으로 분류하였다. S. mutans 수와 우식경험도 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. AgI/II 특이 salivary IgA titer는 Group III이 Group II보다 통계적으로 유의하게 더 컸으며, CR group이 CS group보다 유의하게 크게 나타났다.

Rhizoctonia solani의 종내 그룹의 분류에는 균사융합군과 배양형태가 많이 이용되고 있으며, 이미 20종 이상의 R. solani가 생태학적, 형태학적, 효소학적, hyphal anastomosis 등에 의해 이미 구분되어졌다. Anastomosis group은 R. solani를 분리하는데 유용하지만 R. solani의 생물학적과 병리학적 연구를 위한 유전적 특성과 동정의 직접적인 방법이 요구되어진다. RAPD는 특별한 DNA 절편을 증폭하고 이를 genetic mapping, identification of isolates에 유용하게 적용될 수 있으며, 또한 genetic variation 조사에도 사용될 수 있다. Dendrogram을 작성한 결과 크게 5 group으로 나뉘어졌고, 5개의 group은 AG group의 subgroup과 동일하게 나뉘어졌다. AG group에 구분되지 않은 species들도 RAPD결과 AG tester들과 grouping 되어졌다. RS-1은 AG-5 group에 속하며, RS-4, RS-14, RS-17, RS-16은 AG-2-2(III B)에 속하였다. RS-13은 AG-4에 속하였으며, RS-8과 RS-10은 AG-1(I B)에, RS-7과 RS-21은 AG-2-2(IV)에 속하였다. RS-19는 AG-1-1(I C)에 속하고, RS-3, RS-5, RS-18, RS-6, RS-15는 AG-1에 속하였다. RAPD 결과 AG group의 subgroup간의 차이를 볼 수 있었고, 이에 AG group 되어 있지 않은 species의 AG grouping이 이루어졌다. 또한 subgroup 간의 유전적 차이를 확인 할 수 있는 marker를 개발하거나 subgroup의 특별한 primer를 제작하는 SCAs기법을 이용하여 식물체 병반 또는 토양에서 분리된 R. solani를 간이 동정에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In the fabrication of ceramic chip couples for high frequency application such as the mobile communication equipment the formation of electrode lines and Ag diffusion were investigated with heat treatment conditions for removing organic binders. The deformation and densification of the electrode line greatly depended on the binder burnout process due to the overlapped temperature zone near 400$^{\circ}C$ of the binder dissociation and the solid phase sintering of the silver electrode. Ag ions were diffused into the glass ceramic substrate. The Ag diffusion was led by the glassy phase containing Pb ions rather than by the crystalline phase containing Ca ions. The fact suggests that the Ag diffusion could be controlled by managing the composition of the glass ceramic substrate.

Silver(I) [bis(alkylthio)methylene]malonates were synthesized from the reaction of silver nitrate and potassium [bis(alkylthio)methylene]malonates. The structures of the Ag complexes were characterized with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and elemental analysis. Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained from the decomposition of the Ag complexes in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at $110^{\circ}C$ without an additional surfactant. The average sizes of the Ag NPs are in the range of 5.1-6.3 nm and could be controlled by varying the length of the alkyl chain. The optical properties, crystalline structure and surface composition of Ag NPs were characterized with ultraviolet-visible (UV-visible) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA).

Size-controlled Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from the decomposition of Ag(I) carboxylates using ethanolamine derivatives as a reducing agent without an additional stabilizing agent. The size of the Ag NPs with a narrow size distribution (sub-10 nm to ca. 40 nm) was controlled precisely by varying the processing parameters, such as the type of reducing agent and the chain length of the carboxylate in the Ag(I) carboxylate. The optical properties, surface composition and crystallinity of the Ag NPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, thermal gravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Effects of Astragali Radix extract (AG) on the cell mediated-and nonlpecific immunotoxic responses of zinc chloride (Zn) were studied usign ICR mice. Mice were divided into 4 groups (10 mice/group), and Zn was given to the mice 1 hr after i.p. injection with 0.5g/kg of AG by i.p. injection daily for 10 days at a dose of 25 mg/kg. Immune responses on the responses on the relative weight of thymus, delayed-type hypersensitivity to SRBC (DTH), phagocytic activity and circulating leukocytes were evaluated. Zn treatment decreased body weight gain, the relative weight of thymus, DTH and circulating leukocytes compared with those in controls. AG treatment increased DTH, phagocytic activity and circulating leukocytes compared with those in controls. Combination of AG and Zn increased DTH and circulating leukocytes compared with those in controls, but decreased body weight gain and the relative weight of thymus. These findings indicated that AG decreased immunotoxicity of Zn on the DTH and circulating leukocytes.

The reduction of vacuum-dehydrated $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A, 0 {\le} x {\le} 9.2$, and its reoxidation by O$_2$, have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction. Also, the structure of $Na_6Na_6-A$ treated with hydrogen at room temperature has been studied by single crystal methods in the cubic space group Pm3m at $24{\circ}C (a = 12.221(2) {\AA})$. The diffraction pattern of dehydrated Ag$_{12}$-A reduced by H$_2$ contains only the (111) and (200) reflections of silver metal, indicationg that the zeolite structure has been lost, but the zeolite's diffraction pattern and structural integrity can be fully restored by oxidation with O$_2$ at 100 or 200${\circ}C$. In contrast, the structures of $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A$, x = 4.5 and 9.2, were not destroyed by treatment with hydrogen. Dehydrated Na$_6Ag_6$-A treated with 50 Torr of hydrogen gas at 24${\circ}C$ for 30 minutes has $6\; Na^+\;and\;1.27\;Ag^+$ ions at 6-ring sites. These $Ag^+ ions are associated with 2.54 Ag${\circ}$ atoms to form 1.27 $Ag_3^+$ clusters per unit cell. Also found were 0.7 $Ag_3^{2+}$ clusters per unit cell near the 8-rings. The structure was refined to the final error indices R$_1$ = 0.134 and R$_2$ (weighted) = 0.147, using 168 independent reflections for which $I_0 >3{\sigma}(I_0)$.

The structure of partially $Ag^+$-exchanged zeolite 4A, $Ag_{7.6}Na_{4.4}-A$, vacuum dehydrated at $370^{\circ}C$, has been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group, Pm3m (a = 12.311(1)${\AA}$) at $24(1)^{\circ}}C$. The structure was refined to the final error indices $R_1$ = $R_2$ (weighted) = 0.064 using 266 independent reflections for which $I_0$>$3{\sigma}(I_0)$. Three $Na^+$ ions occupy the 3 8-ring sites, and the remaining ions, 1.4 $Na^+$ and 6.6 $Ag^+$, fill the 8 6-ring sites; each $Ag^+$ ion is nearly in the [111] plane of its 3 O(3) ligands, and each $Na^+$ ion is 0.9${\AA}$ from its corresponding plane, on the large-cavity side. One reduced silver atom per unit cell was found inside the sodalite unit. It was presumably formed from the reduction of a $Ag^+$ ion by an oxide ion of a residual water molecule or of the zeolite framework. It may be present as a hexasilver cluster in 1/6 of the sodalite units, or, most attractively among several alternatives, as an isolated Ag atom coordinated to 4 Ag ions in each sodalite unit to give $(Ag_5)^{4+}$, symmetry 4mm.

To characterize plasmids in Xanthomonu axonopodis pv. glycines, we isolated plasmids pAG1 from the strain AG1 and pXAG81 and PXAG82 from the strain Bra, respectively, and sequenced three plasmids. The size of plasmids, pAG1, pXAG81, and pXAG82 was 15,149-base pairs (bp), 26,727-bp, and 1,496-bp, respectively Fifteen and twenty six possible open reading frames (ORFs) were present in pAG1 and pXAG81, respectively. Only one ORF homologous to a rep gene of Xylella fastidiosa was present in pXAG82. pAG1 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, three parA genes, M.XmaI, R.XmaI, and six hypothetical proteins. pXAG81 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, two parA genes, pemI, pemK, mobA, mobB, mobC, mobD, mobE, trwB, traF, traH, ISxac2, and eleven hypothetical proteins. Based on DNA sequence analysis, we presume that pXAG81 is a conjugal plasmid. Interestingly, we found 0.5-kb truncated avirulence gene similar to aurXacE3 on the right border of avrBs3 homolgs of pAG1 and pXAG81. Two hundred twenty five isolates were analyzed to find aurBS3 or tra gene homologs by Southern hybridization. The numbers of avrBs3 homolog varied from 3 in AG1 to 8 in AG166. Two hundred seventeen isolates appeared to can conjugative plasmids (pXAG81 type), and thirty eight isolates appeared to carry non-conjugative plamids (pAGl type). This indicated that aurBs3 gene homologs might be spread by conjugation in X. axonopodis pv. glycines.

5M 이상의 질산 매질에 있는 Ag(Ⅰ) 이온을 전착회수하기 위하여 질산 농도에 따른 전착특성을 cyclic voltammetry 방법으로 조사하였다. Ag(Ⅰ) 이온의 전착은 질산 매질의 농도에 크게 영향을 받았으며 질산 농도가 3M 이하인 경우에는 백금을 전극에서 Ag(Ⅰ) 이온이 쉽게 전착될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 질산농도가 5M 이상에서는 질산 자체의 환원이 활발하게 일어나 Ag(Ⅰ) 이온의 전착을 억제하였으나 용액을 혼합시킬 경우 질산 환원의 영향을 크게 감소시킬 수 있었다
