  • Diets based on carbohydrates increase rapidly the blood glucose level due to the fast conversion of carbohydrates to glucose. High glucose diets have been known to induce many lifestyle diseases. Here, we demonstrated that high glucose diet shortened the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans through apoptosis induction. Control adult groups without glucose diet lived for 30 days, whereas animals fed 10 mg/L of D-glucose lived only for 20 days. The reduction of lifespan by glucose diet showed a dose-dependent profile in the concentration range of glucose from 1 to 20 mg/L. Aging effect of high glucose diet was examined by measurement of response time for locomotion after stimulating movement of the animals by touching. Glucose diet decreased the locomotion capacity of the animals during mid-adulthood. High glucose diets also induced ectopic apoptosis in the body of C. elegans, which is a potent mechanism that can explain the shortened lifespan and aging. Apoptotic cell corpses stained with SYTO 12 were found in the worms fed 10 mg/L of glucose. Mutation of core apoptotic regulatory genes, CED-3 and CED-4, inhibited the reduction of viability induced by high glucose diet, which indicates that these regulators were required for glucose-induced apoptosis or lifespan shortening. Thus, we conclude that high glucose diets have potential for inducing ectopic apoptosis in the body, resulting in a shortened lifespan accompanied with loss of locomotion capacity.

  • We isolated a lignan, kobusin from Geranium thunbergii and studied its effect on the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene in a monocyte/macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 cells. Kobusin inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated NO production and the expression of iNOS in a concentration-dependent manner. To identify the mechanistic basis for its inhibition of iNOS induction, we examined the effect of kobusin on both the luciferase reporter activity using $NF-{\kappa}B$ minimal promoter and the nuclear translocation of p65. Kobusin suppressed the reporter gene activity and the LPS-induced movement of p65 in to nucleus. $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation is controlled by the phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of $I-{\kappa}B{\alpha}$, and in the present study, we found that $I-{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ phosphorylation was also inhibited by kobusin. Our findings indicate that kobusin may provide a developmental basis for an agent against inflammatory diseases.

  • 본 연구는 피질골 천공을 동반한 교정적인 치아이동이 통상의 교정적인 치아이동과 조직 재형성의 정도에 차이가 존재하는지 알아보기 위하여 시행하였다. 실험동물은 15주령 군 300 - 350 g의 자성 백서(Sprague-Dawley Rat)를 사용하였으며 피질골 천공을 동반한 치아이동 실험군(TMC group, n = 16)과 단순 치아이동 대조군(TM group, n = 16)으로 나누었다. 모든 실험동물에 20 gm 이하의 힘으로 전치부를 이개시키는 치아 이동을 시행하였으며, 실험군은 상악전치부의 직후방 구개측에서 치근을 손상시키지 않도록 직경 1.0 mm의 microscrew를 사용하여 피질골 천공을 하였다. 모든 실험동물은 1, 4, 7, 14일에 희생시켜서 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, -8, -13 효소의 RT-PCR과 I형 교원질(Collagen type I)과 Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1)의 면역조직화학염색(immunohisto-chemistry)을 시행하였다. MMP-1은 실험군에서 4일째에 가장 활발한 발현을 보이다가 7일째와 14일째에 조금씩 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면에, 대조군에서는 실험 7일째에 가장 높은 발현을 보이다가 14일째 들어서 감소하는 양상을 보였다. MMP-8은 실험 1일째부터 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 더 많은 발현을 보였으며, 특히 4일째의 실험군에서는 대조군보다 두 배 이상 발현되었다. MMP-13은 실험 1일째의 실험군에서 가장 높은 발현도를 보였으며, 대조군에서는 오히려 미처치 대조군에 비해 더 낮게 발현되었다. I형 교원질의 면역조직화학염색 결과는 실험 4일째부터 압박측에서는 실험군에서 대조군보다 더 많은 교원질의 소실을 보였고, 인장측에서는 대조군이 실험군보다 더 많은 교원질의 염색 소견을 보였다. TIMP-1은 실험 4일째에는 압박측에서 대조군이 실험군보다 치주인대와 치조골의 골세포에서 좀 더 균일한 염색 소견을 보였다. 이상의 실험 결과에서 피질골 천공은 백서의 실험적 치아이동에 있어 치주인대와 치조골 결합 조직의 재형성 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다.

  • The genomic region of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) encoding the movement protein (MP) was cloned into pET21a and transformed into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) to express the protein. Induction was made with a wide range of isopropyl-${\beta}$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2 mM) each for duration of 4, 6, or 16 h. However, the highest expression level was achieved with 1 mM IPTG for 4 h. Identity of the expressed protein was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) followed by Western blotting. The expressed 41 kDa protein was purified under denaturing condition by affinity chromatography, reconfirmed by Western blotting and plate-trapped antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PTA-ELISA) before being used as a recombinant antigen to raise polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Purified anti-GFLV MP immunoglobulines (IgGs) and conjugated IgGs detected the expressed MP and GFLV virions in infected grapevines when used in PTA-ELISA, double antibody sandwich-ELISA, and Western blotting. This is the first report on the production of anti-GFLV MP polyclonal antibodies and application for the virus detection.

  • 본 논문은 오존 방식 선박평형수 처리의 핵심 장치인 이젝터에 대하여 회전 운동하는 구동 유체가 기체-액체 이젝터의 효율에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 이젝터는 오존을 구동 노즐을 통해 분사되는 고압 액체(선박평형수)와 주변부의 저압 기체 간의 운동량 교환으로 발생되는 부압에 의해 기체(오존)를 흡입시키는 장치이다. 기존의 이젝터는 단순한 형태로 구동 유체가 분사되지만, 본 논문에서는 구동 노즐부에 회전 유도장치를 적용하여 구동 유체가 회전 운동하며 분사될 수 있도록 한다. 구동 유체의 회전 운동 유무에 따른 유동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 전산유체해석을 이용하였으며, 구동 유체의 압력과 유량, 흡입부에 발생하는 흡입 유체의 부압과 흡입 유량, 그리고 토출 압력이 예측되었다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 회전유도 장치가 적용된 이젝터의 효율은 22.25%로 산출되었으며, 구동 유체의 회전 운동이 없는 이젝터에 비해 약 1.7%의 효율이 향상되었다. 마지막으로 전산유체해석의 타당성을 검증하고자 실험 장치를 구축하여 회전 유도 장치가 적용된 이젝터에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 전산유체해석 결과와 비슷한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • 고속 엘리베이터는 높은 안정성과 제어성이 필요하므로 기동, 정지시에 영 속도를 포함한 정밀 구동이 필요하다. 유도전동기의 정밀 구동을 위하여 사용되어온 벡터 제어 기법은 슬립 주파수 제어에 의한 간접 벡터 제어와 계자편향에 의한 직접벡터 제어의 두가지 종류로 분류할 수 있으며, 직접벡터제어의 경우 전동기 제어 변수의 변화에 강건한 반면에 직접 벡터 제어의 경우 비교적 넓은 속도구간에서 제어가 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 토크는 직접 벡터기반으로 제어하고, 지속은 간접 벡터 기반으로 제어함으로써 유도전동기의 과도상태 동작과 시동시 영 속도 부근 및 저속 영역에서의 동작이 보다 강건하도록 개선된 직접토크-간접자속(DTIF, Direct Torque Indirect Flux)제어기를 제시하였다. 3상 유도전동기의 구동을 위하여 제안된 시스템의 수행결과는 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 입증하였으며, 영 속도부근과 저속에서 고속으로의 변환과정은 속도응답에 대한 상전압, 상전류 그리고 DC링크 전류를 비교 측정하여 안정하고 강건한 속도변화가 이루어짐을 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • Tobamoviruses are the major viral pathogens of tomato and bell pepper. The preliminary results showed that Acibenzolar-Smethyl(ASM; S-methylbenzo(1,2,3) thiadiazole-7-carbothiate) pre-treatment to tomato and tobacco plants reduces the concentration of Tomato mosaic tobamovirus(ToMV) and Tobacco mosaic tobamovirus(TMV) in tomato and bell pepper seedlings, respectively. Pre-treatment of the indicator plant(Nicotiana glutinosa) with the ASM followed by challenge inoculation with tobamoviruses produced a reduced number and size of local lesions(67 and 79% protection over control to TMV and ToMV inoculation, respectively). In order to understand the mechanism of resistance the gene expression profiles of antiviral genes was examined. RT-PCR products showed higher expression of two viral resistance genes viz., alternative oxidase(AOX) and RNA dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp) in the upper leaves of the ASM-treated tomato plants challenge inoculation with ToMV. Further, the viral concentration was also quantified in the upper leaves by reverse transcription PCR using specific primer for movement protein of ToMV, as well as ELISA by using antisera against tobamoviruses. The results provided additional evidence that ASM pre-treatment reduced the viral movement to upper leaves. The results suggest that expressions of viral resistance genes in the host are the key component in the resistance against ToMV in the inducer-treated tomato plants.

  • Ethylene was found to reverse the direction of gravity-induced lateral auxin transport and to cause an accumulation of auxin in the physically upper sides of horizontally placed pea shoots. The pea shoot displayed a slightly positive (downward) geotropic curvature in the presence of applied ethylene. Golgi bodies were found to be distributed preferentially in the bottom halves of cells as against the top halves following geotropic stimulation, and this pattern of intracellular distribution of dictyosomes was also reversed by ethylene treatment. Intracellular displacement of amyloplsts as a result fo geotropic induction was not reversed by the action of ethylene. In view of a positive correlation between the direction of auxin movement and the displacement patern of dictyosomes, it is suggested that the Golgi bodies are involved in the perception of gravity and/or subsequent redistribution of auxin or differential elongation in geotropism.

  • For a linear induction motor(LIM), the constants of each phase are different due to the structure. In this paper, a vector control analysis method of a LIM taking into consideration its asymmetrical constants are proposed. And, in order to prove the propriety of proposed vector control method and to analyze the dynamic characteristics of LIM's vector control, FEM taking into account of movement and using stator tapped winding is used in the analysis region. So, It is confirmed that the proposed asymetrical constants vector control theory and simulation method of mixing with FEM is appropriate to dynamic characteristics analysis of LIM.
