최근 인공지능 알고리즘을 활용한 교통 신호 제어에 관한 관심 증대와 함께, 관련 모델구축 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 독립 교차로를 대상으로, 교통량 변화에 연동되는 신호 주기 산정을 위한 이론 전개가 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 신호제어 알고리즘 구축을 위한 실증 분석을 통해, 신호운영과 회전교차 방식의 실제 교차로를 대상으로 분석을 진행하였다. 기존 연구에서 많이 활용되는 GA와 PSO 알고리즘을 개선한 PSO-BFO 알고리즘을 제시하여 두 교차로의 운영 효과 증진을 위한 신호제어 방안을 강구 하였다. 그 결과, 158초의 신호 주기하에 신호 교차로의 경우, 용량 증대 3.4%, 지체도 및 정지횟수 감소는 각각 8.2%, 8.3%의 효과가 발생하고, 회전교차로에서는 용량증대 9.2%, 지체도 및 정지횟수 감소가 각각 7.1%, 27.2%에 이르는 효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Biocatalytic transfer of oxygen in isolated cytochrome P450 or whole microbial cells is an elegant and efficient way to achieve selective hydroxylation. Cytochrome P450 CYP105P2 was isolated from Streptomyces peucetius that showed a high degree of amino acid identity with hydroxylases. Previously performed homology modeling, and subsequent docking of the model with flavone, displayed a reasonable docked structure. Therefore, in this study, in a pursuit to hydroxylate the flavone ring, CYP105P2 was co-expressed in a two-vector system with putidaredoxin reductase (camA) and putidaredoxin (camB) from Pseudomonas putida for efficient electron transport. HPLC analysis of the isolated product, together with LC-MS analysis, showed a monohydroxylated flavone, which was further established by subsequent ESI/MS-MS. A successful 10.35% yield was achieved with the whole-cell bioconversion reaction in Escherichia coli. We verified that CYP105P2 is a potential bacterial hydroxylase.

Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infection. Although side effects of gentamicin such as nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity have been investigated, the information on the hepatic effects of gentamicin is still limited. In the present study, gene expression profiles were analyzed in the liver of gentamicin treated mice using Affymetrix GeneChip$^{(R)}$ Mouse Expression 430A 2.0 Array. Totally, 400 genes were identified as being either up- or down-regulated over 1.5-fold changes (P<0.01) in the liver of gentamicin treated mice. Among these deregulated genes, 16 up-regulated genes mainly involved in transport (Kif5b, Pex14, Rab14, Clcn3, and Necap1) and 20 down-regulated genes involved in lipid and other metabolisms (Hdlbp, Gm2a, Uroc1, and Dak) were selected using k-means clustering algorithm. The functional classification of differentially expressed genes represented that several stress-related genes were regulated in the liver by gentamicin treatment. This data may contribute in understanding the molecular mechanism in the liver of gentamicin treated mice.

In a recently developed strategy for in-situ treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), bioaugmentation was used in conjunction with a surfactant, sorbitan trioleate, as a carbon source for the degrader bacteria, along with the monoterpene, carvone, and salicylic acid as inducing substrates. Two bacteria were used for soil inoculants, including Arthrobacter sp. st. B1B and Ralstonia eutrophus H850. This methodology achieved 60% degradation of PCBs in Aroclor 1242 after 18 weeks in soils receiving 34 repeated applications of the degrader bacteria. However, an obvious limitation was the requirement for soil mixing after every soil inoculation. In the research reported here, bioaugmentation and biostimulation treatment strategies were modified by using the earthworm, Pheretima hawayana, as a vector for dispersal and mixing of surface-applied PCB-degrading bacteria and soil chemical amendments. Changes in microbial biomass and microbial community structure due to earthworm effects were examined using DNA extraction and PCR-DGGE of 16S rDNA. Results showed that earthworms effectively promoted biodegradation of PCBs in bioaugmented soils to the same extent previously achieved using physical soil mixing, and had a lesser, but significant effect in promoting PCB biodegradation in biostimulated soils treated with carvone and salicylic acid. The effects of earthworms were speculated to involve many interacting factors including increased bacterial transport to lower soil depths, improved soil aeration, and enhanced microbial activity and diversity.

To ensure the safety of domestic livestock products, the government made it obligatory to enforce the hazard analysis critical control point(HACCP) in all domestic slaughterhouses. Under the HACCP, most of the hazards generated in slaughterhouses are bio-hazards, especially pathogenic bacteria. In order to reduce to the pathogenic bacteria, critical control point (CCP) is established and controled in the process of slaughter. A study was carried out to measure the level of bacterial contamination of swine carcass in 6 slaughterhouses selected. As a result, the aerobic plate counts(cfu/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of all samples was $10^2$-10 in average, except slaughterhouse C. The level of the aerobic plate counts on the surface of lower loin in slaughterhouse C was $10^4$ and it was considered that slaughterhouse C should set the process of manual transport of carcass as the CCP. Escherichia coli level was the highest in middle line cut surface. Especially, E coli level of slaughterhouses C and D were about 6.5- and 3.0-fold higher than that of other 4 slaughterhouses. Thus, it was considered that the slaughterhouses C and D should set the process of the entrails treatment as the CCP. The air contamination was measured at two point in a slaughterhouse. The air contamination level was 4-13 times higher than that of the standard Japanese slaughterhouses.

반폐쇄만이며 하계동안 저층 빈산소수괴(Hypoxic bottom area)가 형성되는 진해만 일대 해역중의 하나인 원문만에서 해양세균의 계절적 분포와 해양세균이 용존산소소모에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 하계동안 미소생물의 전자전달계 활성도(Electron transport system activity)로서 잠재적 산소소모량(potential consumption of oxygen)을 구하였다. 해양세균의 계절별 우점종은 추계('89년 10월)에는 Pseudomonas spp., 동계 ('90년 2월)에는 Serratia spp., 춘계('90년 5월)에는 Acinetobacter spp., 하계('90년 8월)에는 Flavobacterium spp.가 우점하였다. 조사기간동안 생균수는 하계('90년 8월)에 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.12\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.34\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.55\times10^7cells/ml$로 높은 분포치를, 동계에는 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.08\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.54\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.28\times10^6cells/ml$로 낮은 분포치를 보여주었다. 또한 전자전달계 활성(Electron Transport System Activity)으로 잠재적 산소소모량을 조사한 결과 하계동안 수괴에서 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $232.4-637.5{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$, 이중 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $142.6-432.4{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$로서 수괴의 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량의 약 $55\%$를 차지하여, 하계동안 저층의 산소소모에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 생균수와 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

진료실에서 지르코니아의 수요가 증가하고 있음에 따라 지르코니아의 생체적합성에 대한 평가가 필수적이다. 이번 논문에서는 지르코니아의 생체적 합성에 대한 문헌 중 in vitro 실험에서의 결과를 고찰하였다. Fibroblast, osteoblast, lymphocyte 등 다양한 세포를 이용한 in vitro 실험에서 지르코니아 블록은 뛰어난 생체적합성을 보였다. 여러 연구에서 지르코니아에 대한 세포독성 및 돌연변이 유발이 관찰되지 않았으며, 세균부착도 적은 것으로 나타났다. 장기간 체액노출조건을 모방한 in vitro 실험에서는 약간의 기계적 강도의 감소 외에는 악영향이 관찰되지 않았다. Osteoblast-like cell을 이용한 연구에서, 지르코니아 블록이 면역반응, 물질이동, 세포주기조절에 관여하는 유전자를 조절하여 생체적합을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 여러 in vitro 연구에서 지르코니아 분말의 생체적합성에 대해서는 상이한 보고가 나타나고 있다. 종합적으로 지르코니아 분말은 어느 정도 세포독성을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are of major concern among genotoxic chemicals due to their toxicity and persistence. Some microorganisms can utilize aromatic hydrocarbons as carbon and energy sources by inducing expression of catabolic operon(s). The XylR regulatory protein activates transcription of the catabolic enzymes to degrade BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) from its cognate promoters, Pu and Ps upon exposure of the cells to the aromatic hydrocarbons. The activity of XylR on the promoters was previously monitored using luciferase luc reporter system. The xylR, its promoter Pr and the promoter Po for the phenolic compound catabolic operon were introduced upstream of firefly luciferase luc in the pGL3b vector to generate about 7.1 kb of pXRBTEX. Here E. coli harboring the plasmid was freeze-dried under various conditions to fin,d optimal conditions for storage and transport. The cell viability and luciferase activity were maintained better, when the cells were freeze-dried at -7$0^{\circ}C$ in the addition of the 10% skim milk or 12% sucrose. However, coaddition of protectants such as 10% skim milk plus 10% glucose or 12% sucrose plus 10% glucose, resulted in much better viability and bioluminescence activity compared with the effect of single addition of each protectant. In addition, it was shown that the freeze-dried cells maintained almost intact bioluminescent activities and cell viability for at least 1 week after freeze-drying. This work demonstrated that the properly freeze-dried recombinant bacterial cells could be utilized as a whole-cell biosensor for simple and rapid monitoring of BTEX in the environment.

Herpes simplex is caused by viruses of the herpesvirus hominus family. HSV have four categories: type 1, 2, 6, and 8. Generally HSV-1 affects the mouth. Once infected by HSV, the person's infection is permanent. Retrograde transport through adjacent neural tissue to sensory ganglia leads to a lifelong latent infection. Recently, we treated a patient with recurrent herpes-stomatitis mimicking acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG). The results were satisfactorty so we report this case. 31 years old male patient showed sore throat, gingival ulceration, palpable both submandibular lymph node, and sulcular pus formation around posterior decayed teeth. This is the third time he has suffered from this symptom. Tentative diagnosis was acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. Antibiotic therapy was started. But, intraoral symptom got worse in process of time. Especially ulcer of marginal gingiva got worse. Viral disease was suspected. We carried out viral cultivation. At the same time topical application of antiviral ointment (herpecid$^{(R)}$) was performed on oral ulcer unilaterally for the purpose of diagnosis and reducing pain experimentally. The next day pain was decreased dramatically on application area. Basing on the viral cultivation and clinical effect of antiviral ointment (herpecid$^{(R)}$), we have diagnosed it as a recurrent herpes-stomatitis and concluded that viral infection was major cause of disease and bacterial infection was secondary.
