Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) is associated with a wide spectrum of benign and malignant disorders including leukoplakia, Hodgkln's lymphoma, central nervous system lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma and nasopharyngeal undifferentiated carcinoma. There are several distinctive aspects of biology of the virus that are important in investigation of virus in clinical specimens. The abundant expression of the EBER mRNA transcripts makes possible the sensitive detection of latent expression in EBV-associated tumors. Although there has been a dramatic increased interest in the direct characterization of EBV in clinical specimens, there have been few studios about the effective and reliable positive controls in performing in situ hybridization technique for EBV, especially on paraffin-em bedded tissue. We applied Burkitts lymphoma ceil line as positive control in EBV in situ hydridization using Oncor Kit. The cell block of Burkitt lymphoma cell line(CCL85 EB-3) showed strong and specific positivity for EBER in situ in nuclei of EBV infected cells.

We report a rare case of metachronous lymphoma with two distinct cell lineages in a 75-year-old man. The patient complained about having nasal obstruction for 2 years and extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma of the nasal type was diagnosed from a biopsy. The immunohistochemical staining for CD56 and in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER-ISH) were positive and the tumor cells were negative for CD20. After 13 months of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the patient presented with swelling of the left testis. Positron emission tomography scan detected an abnormal uptake in the testis. A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, was diagnosed from subsequent radical orchiectomy. The immunohistochemical staining revealed to be positive for CD20, BCL2, BCL6, and MYC and negative for CD10 and EBER-ISH.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Roles of the Epstein-Barr, Merkel cell polyoma and mouse mammary tumor viruses in breast carcinogenesis are still controversial although any relationship would clearly be important for breast cancer etiology, early detection and prevention. In the present study associations between EBV, MMTV and Merkel cell polyoma virus and breast cancer in 100 Iranian patients were evaluated using paraffin-embedded tissues. EBER RNA and expression of p53 and large T antigen were evaluated by real time PCR and CD34, p63, HER2, PR and ER markers were studied by immunohistochemistry. EBV was detected in 8/100 (8%), MMTV in 12/100 (12%), MPy in 3/100 (3%) and EBER RNA in 18/100 (18%) cases. None of the control samples demonstrated any of the viruses. p53 was suppressed in EBV, MPy and MMTV positive samples. The large T antigen rate was raised in MPy positive samples. Our results showed that EBV, MMTV and the Merkel cell polyoma virus are foundwith some proportion of breast cancers in our patients, suggesting that these viruses might have a significant role in breast cancer in Kerman, southeast of Iran.

Objectives: Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) is a B-lymphotrophic virus with a tumorigenic potential. EBV infection has been recognized as the main cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Burkitt's lymphoma. Bcl-2 protein expression is known to be up-regulated by the EBV-latency associated antigen latent membrane protein(LMP). The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of EBV in squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx and the relationship between the presence of EBV and bcl-2 expression. Patients and Methods: From January 1994 to December 1977, 35 patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were studied. EBV genome DNA was surveyed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay and then compared the results of in situ hybridization(ISH) for EBER1 using digoxigenin-tailed oligonucleotide probe. The expression of bcl-2 protein was studied by immunohistochemistry(IHC) using bcl-2 monoclonal antibody. Results: By PCR, EBV genome was detected in 22 of 35(62.9%) squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx. Nineteen of 35 cases(54.3%) showed a positive nuclear staining for EBER1 in tumor cells by ISH. Three cases showed positivity in inflammatory cells by ISH and one of them showed a positive staining of both tumor cells and inflammatory cells. Eighteen of 32 specimens(62.5%) were positive for bcl-2 protein. There was no significant correlations between the presence of EBV DNA and bcl-2 expression. Conclusions: It could be concluded that high incidence of EBV in the laryngeal cancer tissue may indicate a probable role of EBV in the development of laryngeal carcinoma.

Bacillus subtilis의 glutamyl-tRNA synthetase(GluRS)는 대장균에서 발현될 때 숙주세포의 $tRNA_1^{Gln}$에 glutamate를 잘못 아실화하여 독성을 나타내는 것으로 추정되고 있다. 이러한 B. subtilis GluRS를 대장균에서 과발현 시키기 위하여 B. subtilis 168 균주의 chromosomal DNA에서 GluRS의 유전자(gltX)를 PCR을 이용하여 증폭하고 T7 promoter에 의해 발현이 조절되는 pET11a expression vector에 클로닝하였다. 이 재조합된 pEBER plasmid DNA로 T7 RNA polymerase를 갖는 대장균 NovaBlue(DE3)에 형질전환하였다. 형질전환된 대장균에 IPTG를 처리하여 과량 생성된 GluRS 단백질은 ammonium sulfate 분별침전 후 EPLC를 이용한 Source Q column anion exchange chromatography, Superdex 200 column gel filtration, Mono Q column anion exchange chromatography로 정제하였다. 정제된 B. subtilis의 GluRS 분자량은 약 55 kDa이었으며 효소의 활성도는 조효소액에 비해 18배로 증가하였다.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has a pathogenic role in several lymphomas including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In this study, we detected EBV from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues of DLBCL patients by RT-PCR and compared the sensitivity of the RT-PCR method to in situ hybridization (ISH) method. The RNA was extracted from 91 FFPE samples with DLBCL and amplified with primers targeting EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) by RT-PCR. When using the RT-PCR method, 13 of 91 patients (14.3%) were positive and among these 13 cases, 7 cases (7.7%) were from > 50-year-old patients that is classified as EBV positive DLBCL of the elderly. In previous results using ISH method, 3 of 91 patients (3.3%) were positive and 2 case (2.4%) were older than 50-year-old. These results indicate that RT-PCR method used in this study shows a higher sensitivity than ISH method. The ratio of male versus female among the EBV positive samples was 1.2:1 with the ratio of male higher. If RT-PCR method having high sensitivity is used simultaneously as well as the ISH method providing the information of the EBV positive cellular location, it is expected that EBV will be more accurately detected.

n-GaAs/A1GaAs계의 화합물 반도체 접합에 형성되는 이차원 전자 가스를 캐패시턴스-전압(C-V), 각도 의존 자기저항(SdH), 전자 빔 반사(EBER)등의 측정 방법을 통하여 A1GaAs 조성비(x)는 0.281, 전도대와 가전도대의 밴드 불연속은 각각 밴드 갭($E_g$)의 69%와 31%임을 알았고, 여기에 존재하는 이차원 전자가스의 면농도는 $5.4\times10^11cm^-2, 페르미 준위 $E_F$는 25mev임을 알았다. 또한 도핑 된 A1GaAs층에서 흔히 나타나는 Franz-Keldysh진동은 불순물의 활성화도가 작으면 형성되는 전기장의 약화로 나타나지 않는다는 것을 발견하였다.

본 연구는 옥외용 epoxy/glass fiber의 열화과정을 분석하기 위하여 FRP 적층판을 고온과 수에 노출시켰다. 열화과정은 접촉각, 표면전위감쇠, 표면저항률의 비교에 의해 평가하였다. 젖음성의 변화는 열처리 시료에서 $200^{\circ}C$까지 접촉각이 증가하였지만 수분처리 시료는 감소하였다. 표면전위감쇠 특성은 수분처리 시료에서는 감소하지만, 열처리 시료는 미 처리와 비교해서 증가하였다. 또한, 표면저항률은 접촉각의 변화와 같은 경향을 보이고 있다.
