In Malaysia, Labisia pumila Benth & Hook f, popularly known as 'Kacip Fatimah' has been used traditionally to treat various elements of the woman's health in Malay community. The objective of this study was to develop randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) based DNA markers for the identification of L. pumila and to distinguish its three varieties from each other. Total DNA from nine accessions of L. pumila was extracted by CTAB method and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were carried out to amplify the segments of DNA using different primers to develop DNA barcode using RAPD technique. To find out variety-specific DNA marker/s, twenty different 10-mer primer sequences with annealing temperature from 36-$40^{\circ}C$ were evaluated in triplicate. Out of 20 random primers, two primers (OPA-1 and OPA-2/A10) were selected which produced reliable RAPD band patterns. To have DNA based handle, two RAPD amplification products were cloned and sequenced to determine the identity of the DNA. RAPD analysis using two random primers generated 72 discrete bands ranging in size 200 bp-3,000 bp. Fifty nine of these were polymorphic loci (82%) and thirteen were non-polymorphic loci (18%). A total of 32 bands polymorphic loci (72%) were amplified with primer OPA-1 and analyzed by cluster analysis and UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic) to present a dendogram depicting the degree of genetic relationship among nine accessions of L. pumila. Our results shows the reasonable genetic diversity among the L. pumila varieties and within varieties; and two RAPD marker sequences obtained could be used to identify L. pumila at species level.

The present study was attempted to investigate the antioxidant capacity of popular yellow-green vegetable juices (kale, Angelica keishei, carrot, small water dropwort) and to investigate the effect of vegetable juices on protecting oxidative damage to DNA in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells. Antioxidant capacity was analyzed by TRAP assay (Total radical-trapping antioxidant potential). Cellular DNA dmamage was measured by SCGE (single-cell gel electrophoresis, also known as comet assay. Cells incubated in medium with PBS (negative control) or with various concentration of the freeze dried green juices (25, 50, 100, 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) resuspended in PBS were treated with $H_2O_2$ (200 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) as an oxidative stimulus for 5 min at 4$^{\circ}C$. The physiological function of each vegetable juice on oxidative DNA damage was analyzed and expressed as tail moment (tail length X percentage migrated DNA in tail) . Kale juice had the highest TRAP value suggesting that kale has the highest antioxidant capacity followed by Angelica keishei, small water dropwort and carrot. Cells treated with $H_2O_2$ had extensive DNA damage compared with cells treated with PBS or pre-treated with vegetable juice extracts. All green juices inhibited $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage with kale being the most effective juice among the tested juices. These results indicate that green juice supplementation to CHL cells followed by oxidative stimulus inhibited damage to cellular DNA, supporting a protective effect against oxidative damage induced by reactive oxygen species.

Three monophyletic branches are strongly supported in a phylogenetic analysis of the Teloschistaceae based on combined data sets of internal transcribed spacer and large subunit nrDNA and 12S small subunit mtDNA sequences. These are described as new monotypic genera: Jasonhuria S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et S. -O. Oh, Loekoesia S. Y. Kondr., S. -O. Oh et J. -S. Hur and Olegblumia S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J. -S. Hur. Three new combinations for the type species of these genera are proposed.

DNA-dependent protein kinase(DNA-PK) is involved in joining DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation or V(D)J recombination and is activated by DNA ends and composed of a DNA binding subunit, Ku, and a catalytic subunit, DNA-PKcs. It has been suggested that DNA-PK might be $2^{nd}$ upstream kinase for protein kinase B(PKB). In this report, we showed that Ser473 phosphorylation in the hydrophobic-motif of PKB is blocked in DNA-PK knockout mouse embryonic fibroblast cells(MEFs) following insulin stimulation, while there is no effect on Ser473 phosphorylation in DNA-PK wild type MEF cells. The observation is further confirmed in human glioblastoma cells expressing a mutant form of DNA-PK(M059J) and a wild-type of DNA-PK(M059K), indicating that DNA-PK is indeed important for PKB activation. Furthermore, the treatment of cells with doxorubicin, DNA-damage inducing agent, leads to PKB phosphorylation on Ser473 in control MEF cells while there is no response in DNA-PK knockout MEF cells. Together, these results proposed that DNA-PK has a potential role in insulin signaling as well as DNA-repair signaling pathway.

본 연구에서는 분자생물학적인 방법을 이용하여 침출수 내의 미생물 군집 분석을 통한 매립지의 안정화 정도를 평가하는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 국내 사용종료매립지 중 정밀조사대상매립지 244개소를 대상으로 기초자료 조사 및 현장답사를 통해 천안 J 매립지와 원주 T 매립지를 연구대상 매립지로 선정하였다. 각 매립지의 침출수 시료에서 genomic DNA를 추출한 후 PCR을 이용한 16S rDNA 클로닝 과정을 거쳐 매립지 침출수 내에 분포하는 미생물 군집의 유전적 다양성을 확인하였다. 또한 탈질화 및 메탄생성 유전자를 대상으로 competitive PCR과 Real-Time PCR을 이용한 미생물 정량을 실시하여 오염인자와의 상관관계를 확인하였다. 분석된 DNA sequence를 BLAST search한 결과 97% 이상 유사성을 보이는 근연종은 J 매립지, T 매립지 각각 47.6%, 32.1%로 나타났으며 이 중 Proteobacteria phylum이 가장 많이 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 탈질화 유전자 정량 결과 매립종료 후 경과기간이 13년인 T 매립지에 비해 7년인 J 매립지메서 nirS gene, cnorB gene이 각각 약 7배, 4배 정도 많이 분포하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 메탄생성 유전자 정량 결과 J 매립지 내부 침출수(J1)에서 가장 많이 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 매립지에서 지하수 흐름 방향으로 멀어질수록 미생물 개체수가 급격히 감소함을 확인하였다. nirS gene, cnorB gene 및 MCR gene의 개체수와 TOC, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3-N,\;NO_2-N,\;Cl^-$, alkalinity에 대한 비교 분석결과 $NO_3-N$을 제외하고 최대 99% 이상의 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 불량매립지로부터 침출수의 유출에 의한 경계 영역 주변에 대한 분자생태학적 영향평가 결과 종래 대표적인 수질평가 분석 항목과의 상관관계가 매우 높게 관측되어 분자생물학적 기술을 영향역 설정 및 안정화 지표로서 충분히 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
