  • Lycopene is a carotenoid widely used as a food and feed supplement due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer functions. Various metabolic engineering strategies have been implemented for high lycopene production in Escherichia coli, and for this purpose it was essential to select and develop an E. coli strain with the highest potency. In this study, we evaluated 16 E. coli strains to determine the best lycopene production host by introducing a lycopene biosynthetic pathway (crtE, crtB, and crtI genes cloned from Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 and dxs, dxr, ispA, and idi genes cloned from E. coli). The 16 lycopene strain titers diverged from 0 to 0.141 g/l, with MG1655 demonstrating the highest titer (0.141 g/l), while the SURE and W strains expressed the lowest (0 g/l) in an LB medium. When a 2 × YTg medium replaced the MG1655 culture medium, the titer further escalated to 1.595 g/l. These results substantiate that strain selection is vital in metabolic engineering, and further, that MG1655 is a potent host for producing lycopene and other carotenoids with the same lycopene biosynthetic pathway.

  • This paper evaluates patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) in the treatment of small and multiple tumors by the CyberKnife system with fixed collimators, using an ion chamber and EBT3 films. We selected 49 patients with single or multiple brain tumors, and the treatment plans include one to four targets with total volumes ranging from 0.12 cc to 3.74 cc. All PSQA deliveries were performed with a stereotactic dose verification phantom. The A16 microchamber (Standard Imaging, WI, USA) and Gafchromic EBT3 film (Ashland ISP Advanced Materials, NJ, USA) were inserted into the phantom to measure the point dose of the target and the dose distribution, respectively. The film was scanned 1 hr after irradiation by a film digitizer scanner and analyzed using RIT software (Radiological Imaging Technology, CO, USA). The acceptance criteria was <5% for the point dose measurement and >90% gamma passing rate using 3%/3 mm and relative dose difference, respectively. The point dose errors between the calculated and measured dose by the ion chamber were in the range of -17.5% to 8.03%. The mean point dose differences for 5 mm, 7.5 mm, and 10 mm fixed cone size was -11.1%, -4.1%, and -1.5%, respectively. The mean gamma passing rates for all cases was 96.1%. Although the maximum dose distribution of multiple targets was not shown in the film, gamma distribution showed that dose verification for multiple tumors can be performed. The use of the microchamber and EBT3 film made it possible to verify the dosimetric and mechanical accuracy of small and multiple targets. In particular, the correction factors should be applied to small fixed collimators less than 10 mm.

  • 최근 스마트폰 사용자를 대상으로 다양한 종류의 어플리케이션이 개발/배포되고 있다. 특히 Google에서 개발한 안드로이드 운영체제인 경우 오픈 소스 정책을 채택하였으며 멀티태스킹 서비스를 지원함과 동시에 기존의 구글 서비스와 연계할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 특히 안드로이드 운영체제에서 Layar, Wikitude, Sherpa 및 a2b 등과 같이 스마트폰 환경에서 GPS 위치정보를 이용한 어플리케이션이 개발되어 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 Cell-ID 기반의 위치정보는 이동통신사업자가 이동통신망에 설치한 교환장치를 통해 직접적으로 수집될 수 있기 때문에 개인 프라이버시 문제가 발생하고, 각종 사업자에 따라 얼마든지 정보가 유출될 가능성이 있는 정보이므로 개인 프라이버시 침해 위험성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스마트폰에서의 GPS 기반 개인위치정보를 사용자 스스로 통제 및 접근제어할 수 있는 기술적 방안을 제시하였고 이를 설계하였다. 이를 통해 안드로이드 환경에서 다양한 GPS 개인위치정보 자기제어 SW 개발이 가능하였다.

  • During the period from Mar., 1991 to Feb., 1992 66 tSP samples were collected by Hi volume air sampler at 1 sampling site in Seoul and the amount of concentration of 21 components(SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$, NO$_{3}$$^{-}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$, Cl$^{-}$, Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, It Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pt Si, Ti, Zn, Zr ) were measured. And monthly and seasonal variation were surveyed and the principal component analysis( PCA ) were carried out with respect to these amount of pollutants, minimum of visibility and radiation on a horizontal surface. The total amount of soluble ion in water was high in order o(SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$> NO$_{3}$$^{-}$> N%'>Cl$^{-}$ and metal ion was high in order of Na> Ca>Si> Fe> Al> K> Mg> Zn> Pb> Cu>Ti> Mn > Ba> Cr> Zr> Ni> Cd. There was Seasonal variation in concentration for SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$, Cl$^{-}$, Na, Al, Ca, Bt Mg, Fe and Si. It was assumed that the components of the highest concentration on April were depend on yellow sand and the frequency of wind velocity and direction. As the results of PCA, the amount of pollution components was able to characterized with two principal components(Z$_{1}$, Z$_{2}$ ). The first principal components Z$_{1}$ was considered to be a factor indicating the pollutants originated from natural generation and The second principal components Z$_{2}$ was considered to be a factor indicating the pollutants originated from human work. The monthly concentration of pollutants in ISP, minimum of visibility and radiation on a horizontal surface was possible to evaluate by the use of these two principal components Z$_{1}$ and Z$_{2}$ .

  • 모바일 단말기 관리를 수행하는 방법이나 프로토콜 등이 제조회사나 ISP 마다 달라서 효율적으로 관리하기가 매우 어려웠기 때문에, OMA(Open Mobile Alliance)에서 OMA DM(Device Management)이라는 단말기 관리 표준안을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 OMA DM개념을 실제 응용 분야에 적용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로써, OMA DM에이전트를 이용한 택배 서비스 관리 프로그램을 설계 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 택배 서비스 관리 프로그램은 SK-WIPI Clet 환경에서 개발하였으며, SyncML Tool Kit 4.3, SK WIPI SDK 및 Embedded Visual-C++언어를 사용하였다. 대부분의 모바일 단말기마다 설치될 것으로 예상되고 있는 OMA DM 시스템을 이용함으로써, 본 논문에서 제안한 택배 서비스 관리 프로그램은 별도의 하위 계층 소프트웨어를 개발하지 않아도 되는 장점이 있다. SK 위피 에뮬레이터 1.1을 사용하여 이 연구의 정당성을 검증하였는데, 이 에뮬레이터는 모바일 단말기와 동일한 실행 환경을 제공한다. 실험을 통하여, 본 논문에서 개발한 택배 서비스 관리 프로그램이 제대로 동작함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Background: Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) with subscapularis (SSC) tears cause severe shoulder dysfunction. In the present study, the influence of SSC tears on three-dimensional (3D) shoulder kinematics during scapular plane abduction in patients with MRCTs was examined. Methods: This study included 15 patients who were divided into two groups: supraspinatus (SSP) and infraspinatus (ISP) tears with SSC tear (torn SSC group: 10 shoulders) or without SSC tear (intact SSC group: 5 shoulders). Single-plane fluoroscopic images during scapular plane elevation and computed tomography (CT)-derived 3D bone models were matched to the fluoroscopic images using two-dimensional (2D)/3D registration techniques. Changes in 3D kinematic results were compared. Results: The humeral head center at the beginning of arm elevation was significantly higher in the torn SSC group than in the intact SSC group (1.8±3.4 mm vs. -1.1±1.6 mm, p<0.05). In the torn SSC group, the center of the humeral head migrated superiorly, then significantly downward at 60° arm elevation (p<0.05). In the intact SSC group, significant difference was not observed in the superior-inferior translation of the humeral head between the elevation angles. Conclusions: In cases of MRCTs with a torn SSC, the center of the humeral head showed a superior translation at the initial phase of scapular plane abduction followed by inferior translation. These findings indicate the SSC muscle plays an important role in determining the dynamic stability of the glenohumeral joint in a superior-inferior direction in patients with MRCTs.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 회전조사 시 표적종양의 위치변위와 갠트리의 조사반경에 의한 치료깊이 변화에 따른 모의치료계획 결과와 선량전달 결과상의 오차를 분석하고자 하였다. 깊이 변위가 가장 이상적인 경우, 즉 팬텀의 중심에 표적이 위치한 경우와 한쪽으로 2.5 cm, 5 cm씩 치우친 경우로 나누어 모의실험하였다. 표적의 위치 변화에 따른 모의치료계획을 실시하기 위하여 IMRT Body 팬톰(I'mRT Phantom, Wellhofer Dosimetry, Germany)를 이용하여 전산화단층촬영장치(Computed Tomography, Light speed 16, GE, USA)로 데이터를 획득하였다. 획득된 영상을 이용하여 치료계획장치(Treatment Planning System, Eclipse, ver. 6.5, VMS, Palo Alto, USA)를 이용하여 정중앙, 2.5 cm, 5 cm에 가상의 치료표적을 만들어 모의치료계획을 수립하였다. 선형가속기(CL21EX, VMS, Palo Alto, USA)의 6 MV 광자선과 최근 개발된 Gafchromic 필름(EBT2, ISP, Wayne, USA)을 이용하여 선량분포를 측정하였고, 선량분석프로그램(OmniPro-IMRT, ver. 1.4, Wellhofer Dosimetry, Germany)을 이용하여 모의치료계획 데이터와 측정 데이터를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석프로그램으로 횡축방향 선량분포 프로파일(Cross-plane profile)과 선량분포를 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 감마인덱스(DD: 3%, DTA: 2 mm) 히스토그람을 이용하였다. 표적과 표적주변의 선량분포는 Conformity index(CI), Homogeneity index(HI)를 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 치료표적 전체체적에 대한 100% 선량분포에 포함되는 체적을 비교하여 분석하였다. 표적의 위치가 5 cm 에 있는 경우 다문동적회전조사(Multiple Conformal Arc Therapy, MCAT)는 23.8%, 단일동적회전조사(Single Conformal Arc Therapy, SCAT)는 35.6%, 고정조사는 37%였고, 표적이 2.5 cm에 있는 경우 MCAT 61%, SCAT 21.5%, 고정조사 14.2%로 분석되었다. 표적의 위치가 중앙에 있는 경우 MCAT 70.5%, SCAT 14.1%, 고정조사 36.3%로 나타났다. 표적의 위치가 5 cm 치우쳐 있는 경우를 제외하고 MCAT의 100% 선량분포에 포함되는 체적이 가장 크게 나타났다. 감마인덱스 히스토그램 분석결과, SCAT의 경우 37.1, 27.3, 29.2로 MCAT의 경우 9.2, 8.4, 10.3에 비해 최소 2.8배, 최대 4배 오차가 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로, 동적조형회전조사 시 표적종양의 위치변이와 조사반경의 변화에 따라 선량전달오류의 가능성을 알 수 있었으며 치료표적의 위치가 정중앙이 아닐 경우, 깊이와 회전반경을 최적화함으로써 정확한 선량 전달을 할 수 있다고 생각한다.

  • 쌀을 이용한 기능성 식품개발을 위하여 쌀전분에서 직접 발효가능한 amylolytic Bifidobacterium을 한국인에서 분리하여 쌀발효를 통한 bifidus발효식품을 개발 하고자 하였다. 한국인 38명으로부터 한천배지에서 amylolytic Bifidobcterium 18균주를 선발하였고 이중 amylase 활성이 높은 4균주를 최종선발하였다. Bif. sp. FBD-12는 세포외 amylase역가가 0.17 U/mg였고 세포내 역가는 1.8 U/mg로 가장 우수한 균이었다. 그리고 이중 Bif. sp. FBD-12, Bif. sp. FBD-16, Bif. sp. FBD-17은 산에 대한 내성이 강했으나 Bif. sp. FBD-6는 내산성이 비교적 약해 pH 5.0배지에서의 생육이 대조구의 $10^2$로 감소하고 있었다. 이들을 이용하여 쌀을 발효한 결과 초기균수 $10^6\;CFU/mL$에서 $10^9\;CFU/mL$까지 생육이 잘 이루어지고 있음을 알았다. 발효물의 기호와 기능을 제고하기 위하여 배지환원제인 cysteine대신 ascorbic acid를 0.1%첨가했을 때 같은 생육효과를 보여 주었으며 분리대두단백첨가 쌀배지에서 발효시켰을 때 3%첨가시가 가장 좋았다. 쌀배지에 0.1%의 ascorbic acid와 3% 분리대두단백을 첨가하여 발효시켰을 때 발효가 빨리 일어나 초기 $10^7\;CFU/mL$에서 12시간만에 $10^9\;CFU/mL$까지 증가하였고, pH는 초기 6.5에서 3.8로 저하되었다. 산도도 $0.8{\sim}1.0%$로 증가하였으며 환원당도 증가하였는데 Bif. sp. FBD-6은 2mg/mL에서 15.5 mg/mL이 생성되어 cysteine만을 첨가했을 때에 비해 현저히 향상된 발효특성을 보여주었다. 발효물에 대한 관능검사결과 Bif. sp. FBD-12에 의한 발효물은 기호도가 양호하게 나타나 Bifidobacterium에 의한 쌀식품개발에 대한 가능성을 제시해주고 있다.

  • Effects of replacing pork backfat with a combination (ICM) of isolated soy protein (ISP), carrageenan, and maltodextrin, or with ICM +olive oil, on the quality characteristics of sausages were investigated. Both treatments had lower fat content (p<0.05), but higher protein and moisture contents than the control (p<0.05). The fat content of low-fat sausage containing the ICM was increased on day 30 compared to day 1 and 15 (p<0.05), and that of ICM+olive oil was increased after day 15. The water holding capacity of ICM was lower than the control through day 30 (p<0.05). The ICM+olive oil had a lower cooking loss than ICM on day 1 and 15 (p<0.05). On day 1, the ICM had lower lightness and higher redness values than the control (p<0.05), and the ICM+olive oil had a higher yellowness value than the control and ICM (p<0.05). Both treatments presented higher hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness values than the control (p<0.05). The lipid oxidation values of both treatments were lower than the control on day 15 and 30 (p<0.05), and those were affected by the addition of olive oil. The ICM was rated higher for sensory color and overall acceptability than the ICM+olive oil (p<0.05).

  • Biphenyl dioxygenase (BPDO), which catalyzes the first step in the bacterial degradation of biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls, was characterized in Pseudomonas sp. B4. The bphA locus containing the four structural genes encoding BPDO were cloned and sequenced. A regulatory gene as well as a putative regulatory sequence were identified upstream of this locus. A transposase-like gene was found within a 1-kb region further upstream, thereby suggesting that the bphA locus may be carried on a transposable element. The three components of the BPDO enzyme have been separately overexpressed and purified from E. coli. The ferredoxin and terminal dioxygenase components showed biochemical properties comparable to those of two previously characterized BPDOs, whereas the ferredoxin reductase exhibited an unusually high lability. The substrate selectivity of BPDO was examined in vivo using resting cell assays performed with mixtures of selected polychlorinated biphenyls. The results indicated that para-substituted congeners were the preferred substrates. In vitro studies were carried out on a BPDO complex where the reductase from strain B4 we replaced by the more stable isoform from Comamonas testosteroni B-356. The BPDO enzyme had a specific activity of $0.26{\pm}0.02 {\mu}mol {min^-1}{mg^-1}\;of\;ISP_{BPH}$ with biphenyl as the substrate. The 2,3-, 4,4'-, and 2,4,4'-chlorobiphenyls were converted to single dihydrodiols, while 2,4'-dichlorobiphenyl gave rise to two dihydrodiols. The current data also indicated that 2,4,4'-trichlorobiphenyl was a better substrate than the 4,4'-dichlorinated congener.
