  • A gene cluster for cyclohexanone oxidation was cloned from Rhodococcus sp. TK6, which is capable of growth on cyclohexanone as the sole carbon source. The 9,185-bp DNA sequence analysis revealed seven potential open reading frames (ORFs), designated as ssd-chnR-chnD-chnC-chnB-chnE-partial pcd. The chnBCDE genes encode enzymes for the four-step conversion of cyclohexanone to adipic acid, catalyzed by cyclohexanone monooxygenase (ChnB), $\varepsilon-caprolactone$ hydrolase (ChnC), 6-hydroxyhexanoate dehydrogenase (ChnD), and 6-oxohexanoate dehydrogenase (ChnE). Furthermore, the presence of a regulatory element in the downstream region of the chnD gene supports the notion that chnR is a putative regulatory gene. Among them, the activity of ChnB was confirmed and characterized, following their expression and purification in Escherichia coli harboring the modified chnB gene (chnB gene with 6 successive codons for His at the 3' terminus).

  • The cyclohexanol dehydrogenase (ChnA), produced by Rhodococcus sp. TK6, which is capable of growth on cyclohexanol as the sole carbon source, has been previously purified and characterized. However, the current study cloned the complete gene (chnA) for ChnA and its flanking regions using a combination of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified ChnA and plaque hybridization from a phage library of Rhodococcus sp. TK6. A sequence analysis of the 5,965-bp DNA fragment revealed five potential open reading frames (ORFs) designated as partial pte (phosphotriesterase), acs (acyl-CoA synthetase), scd (short chain dehydrogenase), stp (sugar transporter), and chnA (cyclohexanol dehydrogenase), respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the chnA gene exhibited a similarity of up to $53\%$ with members of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family. The chnA gene was expressed using the pET21 a(+) system in Escherichia coli. The activity of the expressed ChnA was then confirmed (13.6 U/mg of protein) and its properties investigated.

  • From the principle of CHN-Corder analysis, it is obvious that seperation of chlorine and bromine in a sample is nearly impossible. In order to analyze, chlorine, bromine, and sulfur seperately in a sample which is a single organic compound or a mixture of organic drugs, combination of flask combustion method and CHN-Corder was successfully attempted.

  • Purpose: To reilluminate academic fundamentals and missions of child health nursing (CHN). Methods: Critical review of literature. Results & Conclusion: The academic fundamentals of CHN were analyzed for three different basis; philosophical, theoretical, and legal & ethical basis. The philosophical basis of CHN was summarized as six beliefs; A child is an important human resource and a valuable asset for future society; A child should be respected as a unique and dignified human being; A child has his/her own unique developmental needs; A child is a vulnerable client and should be advocated for; Atraumatic care should be provided to each child; Child health care should be family-centered. The essence of the theoretical basis were reilluminated into caring theory and client advocacy theory. The legal basis of CHN was stated as pertaining to the various child-related laws and international conventions, such as UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The ethical basis were stated as 4 principles of biomedical ethics and The UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. The mission of the CHN was stated and the role of CHN was described as one who is a child rights advocator, professional caring service provider, policy maker, health educator, researcher.

  • Purpose : We checked voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) in patients with congenital hydronephrosis (CHN) and followed up the occurrence of urinary tract infection(UTI) in these patients. And we tried to figure out the relationship between CHN and VUR and UTI. Methods : We performed a retrospective study in 122 CHN patients who received VCUG from 2002 to 2008 at Ajou University Hospital. We executed logistic regression, chi-square test and T-test using version 16.0 SPSS package for the statistical analysis. P<0.05 was regarded as significant. Results : Most patients with CHN were male (73%) and there was a tendency of preferences for unilateral (77%) and left (84%) occurrence of hydronephrosis. The incidence of VUR was 18.9% among 122 CHN patients and no laterality difference was found to the severity of VUR or hydronephrosis. The incidences of VUR and UTI was higher in group of higher grade (III-IV) CHN patients, when compared to the lower group, respectively. When VUR was present in CHN patients, the incidence of UTI during infancy was also higher. Conclusion : The incidence of VUR was higher in patients with higher grades of CHN. The incidence of UTI during infancy was higher when VUR was present in the CHN patients.

  • The Present study was examined the response of mice of 5 strains to superovulation treatment. Female mice of CF#1, C57BL/6, ICR, dd and CHN strains, aged 60 days were used. Superovulation was induced by the subcutaneous injection of 5 IU PMS and followed 48 hours later by the subcutaneous injection of 5 IU HeG. All females were killed 24 hours after RCG and then ova in the oviduct were counted under a microscope. The average number of ova ovulated in CF#1, C57BL/6, ICR, dd and CHN were 21.3, 17.9, 20.7, 21.0 and 20.5, respectively.

  • After Vanherweghem J-L reported the rapidly progressive interstitial renal fibrosis that developed in patients taking the slimming preparation compounded with chinese Herb in Belgium 1993. Chinese Herb Nephropathy(CHN) has become known as a new renal disease, CHN is described as the decrease of urinary renal enzyme, neutral endopeptidase(NEP). N-acetyl-${\beta}$-Dglucosaminidase(NAG). increase of urinary low molecular protein, ${\alpha}$1-microglobulin, ${\beta}$2-microglobulin. clara cell protein(CC16), retinol-binding protein(RBP) in clinical findings, and the proximal tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis. urothelial atrophy. glomerular sclerosis in histology, Because CHN was caused by Chinese herb contained in slimming preparation, western medical doctors have thought that all Herb medicine might have caused renal disease and prohibit the taking of any Herb medicine, However. CHN was actually caused by the aristolochic acid contained in some Herb medicines. Aristolochia manshuriensis, Aristolochia fang chi, which is the substitutions of Akebia quinata, Stephania tetrandra has being used in clinical. Aristolochia manshuriensis. Aristolochia fang chi were different with Akebia quinata. Stephania tetrandra in botany, and it have not been classified with medicines in Oriental medicine, That is, the aristolochic acid, not Herb medicines. causes CHN, So, Chinese Herb Nephropathy should be changed to Aristolochic acid Nephropathy.

  • An experiment was conducted to compare the ME values of imported corns measured by In vivo(TME) and In vitro(MEn, ME and MEpc) methods and to investigate the true amino acid availability(TAAA) and the true nutrient availability(TNA) of imported corns. For TME assay, twenty four 57-weeks-old Hy-Line roosters were assigned to fasting group(4 roosters) and four corn groups(5 roosters each): USA; corn produced in the United States, ARG; corn produced in Argentina, CHN; regular corn produced in China, CHNP; premium corn produced in China. The MEn, ME and MEpc values were determined by equations based on chemical analysis. The TME value of USA(3,745kcal/kg) in as fed basis was significantly (P<0.01) higher than ARG(3,555kcal/kg) and CHNP(3,518kcal/kg) but was not significantly different from CHN(3,671kcal/kg). The TME value of USA(4,144kcal/kg) in DM basis was not significantly different from CHN(4,060kcal/kg) and CHNP(4,008kcal/kg) but was significantly(P<0.05) higher than ARG(4,001kcal/kg). There were significant differences in TAAA of phenylalanine, histidine and arginine among imported corns. Those of USA were highest but overall TAAA was not significantly different among imported corns. True availability of NFE of USA, ARG and CHN was significantly(P<0.05) higher than that of CHNP. However, true availability of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and crude ash were not significantly different among corns. The correlation coefficient between TME and MEn value was 0.91 which was significant at P<0.1 but correlation coefficient between TME and ME value and between TME and MEpc value was 0.90 and 0.83, respectively which was not significant at P<0.1. In conclusion, US corn was highest in TME values and Chinese premium corn was not significantly different from regular Chinese corn. The MEn value obtained by equation based on chemical analysis may be used as a tool to evaluate TME value of corn.
