Stabilization of liposomes against degradation by bile salts has been investigated in order to develop a liposomal model system for oral drug delivery. Two polysaccharides, amylopectin (AP) and chitin (CT), were employed to coat both empty liposomes and bromthymol blue (BTB)-encapsulated liposomes by adsorption-coating techniques. Turbidity changes and BTB-release characteristics in pH 5.6 buffer solutions with or without bile salts, sodium cholate and sodium glycocholate, were observed to compare the differences between uncoated liposomes and polysaccharide-coated liposomes. Initial turbidities of both uncoated and polysaccharide-coated liposomes in buffer solution were kept constant within 3% range during 4 hours of experiments. But they were decreased in a different manner in bile salts-containing buffer solutions, showing 10% or less decrease for polysaccharide-coated liposomes and 25% or more decrease for uncoated liposomes. BTB release from uncoated liposomes has been greatly increased upto 90% after 4 hours in bile salts-containing buffer solution, which is a clue for breakdown of liposomal vesicles. However, polysaccharide-coated liposomes showed the controlled-release pattern which is proportional to square-root of time, followed by around 50% release for the same time period. Consequently, it is possible to conclude that these polysaccharide-coated liposomes might be an available system for oral delivery of a drug which is unstable in gut environment.

There were eight Korean indigenous cattles affected with bovine tuberculosis (BTB) detected by inspectors at slaughterhouses located in Chungbuk province from May 2006 through July 2007. Postmortem finding of BTB cases was characterized by the presence of several caseous or calcified nodules encapsulated by connective tissue from the pleural/peritoneal surface, livers, lungs and regional lymph nodes On micro-scopic examinations, the characteristic lesion of BTB was the formation granulomatous nodules, which contains central calcified necrotic zone surrounded by epithelioid cells, macrophages and a few Langhans' type giant cells. In addition, mononuclear cells and fibroblasts were also infiltrated. At the periphery, encapsulation was formed that protect the neighboring healthy tissues.

The Syrian (golden) hamsters are seasonal breeders whose reproductive functions are active in summer and inactive in winter. In experimental facility mimicking winter climate, short photoperiod (SP) induces gonadal regression. The blood-testis barrier (BTB) of the sexually involuted animals have been reported to be permeable, allowing developing germ cells to be engulfed or sloughed off the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules. The expressions of genes related to the tight junction composing of BTB were investigated in the reproductive active and inactive testes. Claudin-11, occludin, and junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) were definitely expressed in the active testes but not discernably detected in the inactive testes. And spermatozoa (sperm) were observed in the whole lengths of epididymides in the active testes. They were witnessed in only cauda region of the epididymides but not in caput and corpus regions in animals with the inactive testes. The results imply that the disorganization of BTB is associated with the testicular regression. The developing germ cells are swallowed into the Sertoli cells or travel into the lumen, as supported by the presence of the sperm delayed in the last region of the epididymis. These outcomes suggest that both apoptosis and desquamation are the processes that eliminate the germ cells during the regressing stage in the Syrian hamsters.

ZBTB3 belongs to the Zinc finger and BTB/POZ domain containing transcription factor family; however, its biological role has rarely been studied. We demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, that ZBTB3 is an essential factor for cancer cell growth via the regulation of the ROS detoxification pathway. Suppression of ZBTB3 using two different short hairpin RNAs in human melanoma, lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma results in diminished cell growth. In addition, we found that suppression of ZBTB3 activates a caspase cascade, including caspase-9, -3, and PARP leading to cellular apoptosis, resulting from failed ROS detoxification. We identified that ZBTB3 plays an important role in the gene expression of ROS detoxification enzymes. Our results reveal that ZBTB3 may play a critical role in cancer cell growth via the ROS detoxification system. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that target ZBTB3 could be used in selective cancer treatments.

In order to constrain the railway roadbed settlement which causes track irregularity, and thus threats running stability and ride quality, advanced Back-to-Back (BTB) reinforced retaining wall was numerically analyzed as railway roadbed structure. This study is intended to improve conventional Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall as the technology which would reduce the roadbed settlement in a way of constraining the lateral displacement of its prestressed vertical facing and inducing arching effects in roadbed (backfill) placed between masonry diaphragm wall and vertical facing. As a result of numerical analysis, it was found that the roadbed settlement was reduced by 10% due to the prestressed vertical facing and embedded masonry diaphragm wall of the advanced Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall system.

pH지시약을 YPL배지에 첨가하여 진단배지로 사용하였으며, 진단배지의 발색반응을 기준으로 오염균을 진단할 수 있는 기술을 개발코자 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 느타리버섯의 액체종균에 병원균 P. tolaasii, P. agarici, T. koningii, T. harzianum, T. atroviride, T. virens에 대한 오염진단을 위해 BG, MR, BP, BTB, PR 5종의 지시약이 각각 포함된 배지에서 발색반응 결과 BTB첨가배지는 녹색에서 청록색, PR첨가배지는 주황색에서 적색으로 변하여 오염균 진단배지로 선발하였다. 그리고 이후의 실험에서 BTB보다 PR첨가배지의 흡광도 변화율이 크게 나타나 YPL배지에 PR을 첨가한 액체 및 고체진단배지를 최종적으로 선발하였다. 5일간 배양된 액체종균의 진단배지 발색반응으로 세균(Pseudomonas sp.)접종구는 액체 및 고체진단배지 모두 적색의 발색반응이 나타났고, 푸른곰팡이(Trichoderma sp.)접종구는 액체진단배지에서 연두색으로 나타났으며, 고체진단배지의 경우 선홍색으로 나타났다. 따라서 액체종균 오염진단은 YPLP고체진단배지에서 가장 발색반응이 뚜렷하여 적합한 배지로 판명되었다.
