The HAP complex has been found in many eukaryotic organisms. HAP recognizes the CCAAT box present in the promoters of 30% of all eukaryotic genes. The HAP complex consists of three subunits - HAP2, HAP3 and HAP5. In this paper, we report the biological function of the AtHAP3b gene that encodes one of the HAP3 subunits in Arabidopsis. Compared with wild-type plants, hap3b-1 and hap3b-2 mutants exhibited a delayed flowering time under long-day photoperiod conditions. Moreover, the transcription levels of FT were substantially lower in the mutants than in the wild-type plants. These results imply that AtHAP3b may function in the control of flowering time by regulating the expression of FT in Arabidopsis. In a subsequent study, AtHAP3b was found to be induced by osmotic stress. Under osmotic stress conditions, the hap3b- 1 and hap3b-2 mutants flowered considerably later than the wild-type plants. These results suggest that the AtHAP3b gene plays more important roles in the control of flowering under osmotic stress in Arabidopsis.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant form of human genetic variation and are a resource for mapping complex genetic traits. A genome is covered by millions of these markers, and researchers are able to compare which SNPs predominate in people who have a certain disease. The International HapMap Project, launched in October, 2002, motivated us to start the Korean HapMap Project in order to support Korean HapMap infrastructure development and to accelerate the finding of genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. A Korean SNP and haplotype database system was developed through the Korean HapMap Project to provide Korean researchers with useful data-mining information about disease-associated biomarkers for studies on complex diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Also, we have developed a series of software programs for association studies as well as the comparison and analysis of Korean HapMap data with other populations, such as European, Chinese, Japanese, and African populations. The developed software includes HapMapSNPAnalyzer, SNPflank, HWE Test, FESD, D2GSNP, SNP@Domain, KMSD, KFOD, KFRG, and SNP@WEB. We developed a disease-related SNP retrieval system, in which OMIM, GeneCards, and MeSH information were integrated and analyzed for medical research scientists. The kHapMap Browser system that we developed and integrated provides haplotype retrieval and comparative study tools of human ethnicities for comprehensive disease association studies (http://www.khapmap.org). It is expected that researchers may be able to retrieve useful information from the kHapMap Browser to find useful biomarkers and genes in complex disease association studies and use these biomarkers and genes to study and develop new drugs for personalized medicine.

본 연구는 광노화의 원인으로 알려진 자외선을 차단하는 새로운 복합 분체에 관한 것이다. Hydroxyapatite (HAp)는 자체 생체 친화적이고, 피부에 도포 시 백탁 현상 없이 자외선을 차단하는 효과가 우수하다. 그러나 HAp 구조가 단단한 육방정계이어서 피부 도포 시 피부손상과 분체의 재응집 현상이 발생되어 화장 후 뭉치는 현상, 자체 사용감이 매끄럽지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하고자 HAp의 표면 개질을 통한 자외선 차단 증진 및 사용감을 개선한 새로운 복합 분체를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 HAp의 표면 개질을 위해 코팅제로 dimethicone, lauroyl lysine, triethoxycaprylylsilane 및 silica를 사용하였다. Dimethicone, lauroyl lysine 및 triethoxycaprylylsilane은 건식 방법으로 각각 표면 복합화 처리하였고, silica는 수열 합성법으로 표면 처리하여 표면 복합체를 제조하였다. 제조된 HAp 복합체의 자외선 차단 효과를 측정하여 실리카가 코팅된 HAp-silica를 최적의 HAp 복합체로 선정하였다. SEM, 입자크기와 분포, 표면 측정, EDS 분석을 통해 HAp-silica의 표면 복합 분체 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 제형 내에서 안정성, BB cream에서 자외선 차단 효과 측정 및 안전성 시험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, HAp 분체의 표면 개질을 통해 제조한 HAp-silica는 사용감이 우수하였고, 백탁 현상을 개선함으로써 자외선 차단 효과를 증진시키는 복합 분체로서 자외선 차단 화장품의 새로운 기능성 소재로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: We report monitoring conservation effect for a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan) breed using major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and DNA barcords. Methods: The full length of MHC B-G gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17 was measured using re-sequencing and sequencing procedures, respectively. Results: There were 292 single nucleotide polymorphisms of MHC B-G gene identified in six generations. Heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) of MHC B-G gene in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17 remained stable. He and PIC of MHC B-G gene were different in six generations, with G10, G15, G16, G17 >G5>G0 (p<0.05). For the COI gene, there were five haplotypes in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17. Where Hap2 and Hap4 were the shared haplotypes, 164 individuals shared Hap2 haplotypes, while Hap1 and Hap3 were the shared haplotypes in generations 0 and 5 and Hap5 was a shared haplotype in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17. The sequence of COI gene in 6 generations was tested by Tajima's and D value, and the results were not significant, which were consistent with neutral mutation. There were no differences in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17for measured phenotypic traits. In other generations, for annual egg production, with G5, G10, G15, G16, G17>G0 (p<0.05). For age at the first egg and age at sexual maturity, with G10, G15, G16, G17>G5>G0 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Combined with the results of COI gene DNA barcodes, MHC B-G gene, and phenotypic traits we can see that genetic diversity remained stable from generations 10 to 17 and the equimultiple random matching pedigrees conservation population conservation effect of Langshan chicken was effective as measured by these criteria.

Infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have a higher chance of experiencing seizures before the age of 1 year; in particular, they commonly accompany infantile spasms. In cases where infantile spasms resulting from TSC are drug-resistant, more severe neuro-developmental and cognitive impairments occur. This particular case dealt with an infant with TSC who continued to experience partial seizures and infantile spasms despite using two different kinds of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). His spasms ceased on the seventh day of taking modified Yukmijihwang-tang (YMJ), at which point he stopped the use of all AEDs. He became seizure-free after a month of the treatment and modified hypsarrythmia was found to have been resolved in the electroencephalogram test. Until now, the infant has been taking YMJ for 16 months and is maintaining the seizure-free state without side effects. Moreover, his developmental status is continually improving, with a significant progress in language and cognitive-adaptive abilities. Such results suggest that YMJ can serve as an alternative treatment option for refractory epilepsy.

수산화물, 탄산염 및 수산화아파타이트(HAp)의 형성과 해리는 용액의 pH에 따라 달라지며 $Ca-PO_4-H_2O$계로부터 균질하고 미세한 HAp, $Ca_{10-x}(HPO_4)_x(PO_4)_{6-x}(OH)_{2-x}(x=0)$, 세라믹 분말을 제조하는데 매우 중요한 인자가 된다. 각 복합이온의 용해도는 pH와 직선적인 관계에 있으므로 용해도 도형은 수산화물, 탄산염 및 수산화아파타이트(HAp)의 평형상수와 용해도적으로부터 계산된 대수 몰농도로 그릴 수 있다. $Ca-PO_4-H_2O$계로부터 $25^{\circ}C$에서 단일상의 $Ca_{10-x}(HPO_4)_x(PO_4)_{6-x}(OH)_{2-x}(x=0)$ 분말을 제조하기 위한 최적의 pH조건은 이론적인 고찰 결과 $10.5{\pm}0.5$로 결정되었다. 실온에서 제조하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 건조시킨 HAp분말은 75nm의 입자크기를 갖는 미세한 응집분말 이었으며, $1,000^{\circ}C$에서 하소시킨 HAp분말은 450nm 크기의 거의 균질한 형태의 분말을 얻었다. HAp분말들이 응집되어 있었지만 소결후 미세구조는 양호하여 우수한 기계적 특성을 보유하였다.

본 연구에서는 UV-A 조사를 통해 titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), hydroxyapatite(HAP)와 germanium(Ge)의 다양한 복합촉매를 통한 항생제(lincomycin, LM)의 광촉매 제거를 조사하였다. 우선, 다양한 복합촉매의 향상된 광촉매능을 비교하였고, 도출된 제거효율은 $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$ > $TiO_2/Ge$ > $TiO_2/HAP$ 순으로 관찰되었다. $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$의 조성은 반응표면법의 하나인 혼합물분석(mixture analysis)에 기초하여 통계적 방안이 수행되었다. 각 인자별 6개의 조건을 포함하도록 설정한 독립변수 $TiO_2(X_1)$, HAP($X_2$)와 Ge($X_3$)의 LM($Y_1$)과 TOC($Y_2$) 제거에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 분산분석(ANOVA)의 회귀분석항은 유의한 p값(p<0.05)과 높은 결정계수 값($R^2$ of $Y_1=99.28%$ and $R^2$ of $Y_2=98.91%$)을 나타냈다. 등고선도와 반응곡선을 통해 UV-A 조사조건에서 $TiO_2$/HAP/Ge 조성에 따른 LM의 제거를 나타냈다. TOC($Y_2$) 제거를 기준으로 도출된 최적조성비는 코드화 값으로 $X_1=0.6913$, $X_2=0.2313$과 $X_3=0.0756$으로 나타났다. 실제 적용에 따른 비교 실험 결과는 LM과 TOC의 평균제거율이 각각 99.2%와 49.3%로 나타나 모델의 예측과 잘 부합하였다.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been emerging out of the efforts to research human diseases and ethnic disparities. A semantic network is needed for in-depth understanding of the impacts of SNPs, because phenotypes are modulated by complex networks, including biochemical and physiological pathways. We identified ethnicity-specific SNPs by eliminating overlapped SNPs from HapMap samples, and the ethnicity-specific SNPs were mapped to the UCSC RefGene lists. Ethnicity-specific genes were identified as follows: 22 genes in the USA (CEU) individuals, 25 genes in the Japanese (JPT) individuals, and 332 genes in the African (YRI) individuals. To analyze the biologically functional implications for ethnicity-specific SNPs, we focused on constructing a semantic network model. Entities for the network represented by "Gene," "Pathway," "Disease," "Chemical," "Drug," "ClinicalTrials," "SNP," and relationships between entity-entity were obtained through curation. Our semantic modeling for ethnicity-specific SNPs showed interesting results in the three categories, including three diseases ("AIDS-associated nephropathy," "Hypertension," and "Pelvic infection"), one drug ("Methylphenidate"), and five pathways ("Hemostasis," "Systemic lupus erythematosus," "Prostate cancer," "Hepatitis C virus," and "Rheumatoid arthritis"). We found ethnicity-specific genes using the semantic modeling, and the majority of our findings was consistent with the previous studies - that an understanding of genetic variability explained ethnicity-specific disparities.
