In view of the effect of antithrombin III on essential hypertension, we investigated the 5' untranslated exon 1 length (I/D) polymorphism and intron 5'-DdeI RFLP of the human antithrombin III gene in the Korean patients with essential hypertension. There were no significant differences in the allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of these polymorphisms between normotensive and essential hypertensive subjects. The significant linkage disequilibrium was however, detected between I/D polymorphism and Dde I RFLP. The I/D polymorphism was also significantly associated with BMI, total cholesterol (TC) and HDL- cholesterol levels, while DdeI polymorphism with age and BMI. Therefore, our results suggest that the significant association between the genetic polymorphisms in the antithrombin III gene and variable cardiovascular risk factors may reflect the potential role of human antithrombin III gene in cardiovascular function.

고래회충유충증은 해산어류에 기생하는 고래회충과(family Anisakidae)에 속하는 선충류 유충에 의한 질병으로 유충의 직접적인 위장관내 침입으로 인한 병변과 더불어 유충의 분비 배설물에 의한 알레르기 질환도 유발될 수 있다. 고래회충유충증은 A. simplex를 비롯하여 Contracaecum, Pseudoterranova, Hysterothylacium 등의 유충에 의해 야기될 수 있으나 이들에 대한 형태학적 감별 진단은 유충의 형태적 유사성으로 인하여 매우 어려운 경우가 많다. 이러한 형태학적 진단의 어려움을 극복하고 분자생물학적 감별진단 방법을 확립하기 위하여 A. simplex, Contracaecum type A. type C' 및 Goezia 유충을 숭어, 도다리, 고등어, 아나고, 참돔 등 5종의 어류에서 분리하였다. 각각의 유충으로부터 분리한 18S rDNA를 PCR로 증폭한 후 Taq 1, Hinf I, Hha I, Alu 1, Dde I, Hae III, Sau 96I, Sau 3AI 등 8종의 제한효소를 사용하여 PCR-RFLP를 시행하였다. PCR product의 크기는 약 2.0 Kb였으며 Hinf l, Alu 1, Hha I, Dde 1 및 Hae III로 A. simplex와 Contracaecum type C'을 구분할 수 있었다. 그러나 Contracaecum type A의 경우에는 Taq I, Hinf I, Alu I 및 Dde I의 경우에는 2가지 패턴으로 나타났으며 이들 가운데 일부는 A. simplex, Contracaecum type C', 및 Goezia와 동일한 분석 패턴을 보이기도 하였다. Goezia는 사용한 8개의 제한 효소 모두에서 A. simplex 및 Contracaecum type A 및 type C'과 각기 다른 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 18S rDNA PCR-RFLP 방법은 A. simplex와 Contracaecum type C'의 감별 진단에 유용한 것으로 밝혀졌으며, Contracaecum type A의 분류에는 제한적으로 사용되어야 함은 물론 형태학적 분류 기준에 대한 재검토가 뒤따라야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

POU1F1 is a positive regulator for GH, PRL and TSH${\beta}$ and its mutations associate with production traits in ruminant animals. We described a DdeI PCR-RFLP method for detecting a silent allele in the goat POU1F1 gene: TCT (241Ser)>TCG (241Ser). Frequencies of $D_1$ allele varied from 0.600 to 1.000 in Chinese 801 goats. Significant associations of DdeI polymorphism with production traits were found in milk yield (*p<0.05), litter size (*p<0.05) and one-year-old weight (*p<0.05) between different genotypes. Individuals with genotype $D_1D_1$ had a superior performances when compared to those with genotype $D_1D_2$ (*p<0.05). Hence, the POU1F1 gene was suggested to the potential candidate gene for superior milk performance, reproduction trait and weight trait. Genotype $D_1D_1$, characterized by a DdeI PCR-RFLP detection, was recommended to geneticists and breeders as a molecular marker for better performance in the goat industry.

We describe a riboprinting scheme for identification of unknown Acanthamoeba isolates at the species level. It involved the use of PCR-RFLP of small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (riboprint) of 24 reference strains by 4 kinds of restriction enzymes. Seven strains in morphological group I and III were identified at species level with their unique sizes of PCR product and riboprint type by Rsa 1. Unique RFCP of 17 strains in group II by Dde I. Taq I and Hae III were classified into: (1) four taxa that were identifiable at the species level. (2) a subgroup of 4 taxa and a pair of 2 taxi that were identical with each other. and (3) a species complex of 7 taxa assigned to A. castellanii complex that were closely related. These results were consistent with those obtained by 18s rDNA sequence analysis. This approach provides an alternative to the rDNA sequencing for rapid identification of a new clinical isolate or a large number of environmental isolates of Acanthamoeba.

Hypertension is a complex disease with strong genetic influences. Essential hypertension has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance. To clarify the genetic basis of insulin resistance in Hypertension, case-control association studies were performed to examine candidate genes for insulin resistance in hypertension. Polymorphisms investigated were the BstO I polymorphism of the $\beta$3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene, the Xba I Polymorphism of the glycogen synthase (GSY) gene, the Dde I polymorphism of the protein phosphatase 1 G subuit (PP1G) gene, the BstE II polymorphism of the glucagon receptor (GCG-R) gene, the Pst 1 polymorphism of the insulin (INS) gene and the Acc I polymorphism of the glucokinase (GCK) gene. No significant differences were observed in the distribution of alleles and genotypes of the ADRB3, GSY PP1G, GCG-R, INS, and GCK genes between hypertensive and normotensive groups. Although the frequencies in each of these polymorphisms were not significantly different between essential hypertensive and normotensive individuals, our results may provide additional information for linkage analysis and associative studies of disorders in carbohydrate metabolism or in cardiovascular disease.

Objective: We inversigated Small Heterodimer Partner (SHP) gene mutation in Korean Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients. SHP protein regulates the activity of nuclear receptors which regulate the cellular development and differentiation. Recently, the mutation of SHP gene was found in the obesity and diabetes patients in Japanese group, and suggested that its mutation may involved in pathogenic mechanism of PCOS. Methods: This study was performed in 20 PCOS patients and 20 normal women. The DNAs were extracted from the peripheral bloods, and amplified at each exon (1 and 2) of SHP gene by PCR method. Subsequently, each PCR product was digested with the restriction enzyme indicated below for studying restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). After enzyme digestion, the results of RFLP were compared PCOS patients with control women to find any sequence variation. Results: We examined 9 regions of exon 1 with Msp I, Pvu II, Dde I and 3 regions of exon 2 with Pst I, Dde I. There is no heterozygous or homozygous mutation in patients and control women at these restriction sites. Conclusion: The genetic analysis at our restriction sites in the SHP gene did not show any genetic variation in Korean PCOS patients. Our PCR-RFLP analysis was not covered the entire SHP gene (68 bp/1,006 bp), we need to further analysis of the entire SHP gene.

매립지를 직접 생태학적으로 모니터링하는 방법을 개발하고자, 매립지 내의 생화학적 반응에 관여하는 세균들과 효소의 양을 정량함과 동시에 지하수 수질인자와 상호 연관성을 조사하여 생태학적 인자와의 연계 이용 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 4개의 매립 종료된 비위생 매립지(천안(C), 원주(W), 논산(N), 평택(P) 매립지)에서 계절별로 지하수 시료를 채취하였으며 동시에 16S rDNA 방법을 사용하여 미생물 다양성을 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로, 매립지에서 주로 발견되는 세균과 효소를 대표하는 유전자를 정량하기 위한 특이 프라이머 쌍을 제작하였으며 상관계수에 기초하여 수질인자와 유전자 지표 인자간의 정량적 관련성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 DSR(황환원 세균) gene과 BOD(생화학적 산소요구량)사이의 상관관계는 0.8 이상인데 반해 NSR(질산화 세균-Nitrospira sp.) gene과 질산성 질소는 0.9 이상이었다. 안정화지표(BOD/COD)와 MTOT(메탄 산화 세균), MCR(Methyl coenzyme M reductase), Dde(Dechloromonas denitrificans) gene들은 0.8 이상의 상관관계를 가졌으나 3가 철과 Fli(Ferribacterium limineticm) gene은 0.7로 낮았다. MTOT gene의 경우, BOD/COD과의 관련성이 100%에 가깝게 높았다. 또한, 혐기성 유전자들(nirS-아질산 환훤효소, MCR, Dde, DSR)과 DO 역시 0.8 이상으로 나타나 일반적인 매립지 혐기성 반응들이 DO에 크게 의존함을 보였다. 결론적으로 분자생물학적 조사와 수질인자가 높은 상호연관성이 있었으며 real-time PCR이 전통적인 모니터링 인자들과 동시에 상호 보완적으로 모니터링에 사용됨으로써 매립지안정화 및 주변 영향을 평가하는데 효율적으로 사용 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The objective of this research is to propose a new global damage detection parameter, termed as the static defect energy (SDE). This candidate parameter possesses the ability to detect, locate and quantify structural damage. To have a full understanding about this parameter and its applications, the scope of work can be divided into several tasks: theory and formulation, numerical simulation studies, experimental verification and feasibility studies. This paper only deals with the first part of the task. Brief introduction will be given to the dynamic defect energy (DDE) after systematically reviewing the previous works. Process of applying the perturbation method to the oscillatory system to obtain a static expression will be followed. Two implementation methods can be used to obtain SDE equations and the diagrams. Both results are equally good for damage detection.
