Soybean proteins of 19 varieties recommended In Korea were characterized by solubility classes, SDS-PAGE and amino acid composition. In distribution of the protein fractions by solubility difference, glycinin content was $48.19{\sim}58.86%$ of total protein. Prolamin, constituting about 1.16% of total protein, was the fraction showing the significant differences between varieties. The electrophoretic patterns of whole soybean proteins exhibited no varietal differences except in 6 varieties of Padal, Jangbaek, Jangyeob, Danyeob, Nameheon and S-138 in molecular weight range of $21.5{\sim}31.0%$ kd. Cystein, methionine, tyrosine and threonine were the minor components of soybean protein and percentage of tyrosine to the total proteins showed significant varietal differences.

The objects of the present study were to establish the method of purification, subunit dissociation of verotoxin-2 (VT2) produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7, and to investigate the characteristics of purified verotoxin-2 such as molecular weight and composition of amino acid. The results were summerized as follows; Verotoxin-2 was extracted by addition of polymyxin B sulfate into bacterial cell lysate prepared from Escherichia coli O157:H7(KSC109). As an initial step, the bacterial cell lysate was precipitated with 30% saturated ammonium sulfate. The precipitated crude toxin was then subjected to anion-exchange, chromatofocusing and cation-exchange chromatography. Using this scheme, we obtained highly purified toxin with a specific activity of $1.1{\times}10^9$ $CD_{50}/mg$. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) for purified VT2 showed two protein bands. The upper band, approximately 32 Kd, was supposed as A subunit and the lower band, approximately 7.7 Kd, was supposed as B subunit. When the toxin was separated in the subunit-dissociating solution, two peaks emerged with retention times of 15 and 28 min by HPLC. These peaks represented A subunit and B subunit, respectively. The amino acid composition of purified VT2 were made up in order of glutamic acid, histamine, asparaginic acid, histidine, lysine, alanine and leucine etc. The largest amount among the amino acid composing VT2 was methionine.

Myrosinase was purified from Korean mustard seed(Brassica juncea) by a sequential process of DEAE-cellulose, concanavalin A-sepharose, and Superose 6 chromatography. The molecular weight of puri-fied myrosinase(II-2) determined by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis was 67KD. About a 248-fold purification for myrosinase II-2 was obtained after Superose 6 chromatography. Optimum pH of the myrosinase was 7.0 and optimum temperature of the enzyme was $3^{\circ}C.$ The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0, and below $30^{\circ}C.$ Cu, Hg and Fe ion significantly inhibited the enzyme activity, but ascorbic acid enhanced, resulting in a maximum activity by 1mM ascorbic acid. Among tile ascorbic acid ana-logues, dehydroascorbic acid inhibited the enzyme activity, whereas others showed a little effect. Reducing agents such as 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol inhibited the enzyme activity, but the reducing agents with ascorbic acid was enhanced enzyme activity.

본 연구는 D-galactosamine을 이용한 중기발암성 모델에서 세포성면역중의 하나인 natural killer (NK) 세포활성과 c-myc 종양단백의 발현을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 수컷 6주령의 SPF SD랫드 50마리를 3개군으로 각 군당 20마리씩 나누어 배치하였다. 실험 0일에 제 1,2 군에서 DEN을 복강내로 체중 kg당 200mg 1회 투여하여 발암유발을 하였으며 대조군인 제 3군에는 saline을 투여하였다. 제 2주에 제 1군에는 강력한 발암촉진물질인 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF)을 사료에 0.01% 투여하였으며, 제 2군은 미약한 발암촉진물질인 phenobarbital (PB)을 0.05%로 음수에 6주간 투여하였다 제 8, 15, 36주에 경시적으로 부검하였다. 제 8주에 부검시 GST-P$^{+}$ 병변이 잘 유도되어 전암병변의 유도가 잘 되었음을 확인하였다. 제 15주에 부검시 AAF를 투여한 군에서 glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-p)에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색에서 AAF와 PB를 투여한 제 1군 및 제 2군의 간장에서는 주위조직과 한계가 명료한 GST-P$^{+}$ 증식성 결절과 병소를 관찰할 수 있었으나 기초 사료만을 투여한 제 3군은 어떠한 GST-P$^{+}$ 증식성 결절 및 병소를 관찰할 수 없었다. 랫드에서 natural killer세포는 사람이나 마우스에서 주로 자연살생능 (natural killing activity)을 보이는 LGL(lure granular lymphocyte)의 형태를 띄고 있었으며 LGL 이라고 부르는 것처럼 특징적으로 세포질 대 핵의 비율이 높고 azurophilic 과립을 세포질내에 함유하고 있으며 일반적으로 신장 형태의 핵을 가지고 있었다. 또한 세포의 크기는 small lymphocyte와 대식세포 (macrophage)의 중간 크기였다. 15주와 시험종료시 정상대조군인 제 3군의 랫드로 부터 분리한 NK 세포활성도 (% cytotoxicity)에 비하여 발암물질 투여군의 NK 활성도는 PB 투여군들의 NK활성도 보다 약간 낮았다. 랫드에서 c-myc 종양단백은 65KD 와 671KD 에서 band가 형성된 것이 관찰되었다. 시험 개시후 15주에 부검한 랫드의 간에서 c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 모든 처리군들이 대조군에 비하여 높게 발현되는. 것이 관찰되었으나 시험개시후 26주에 부검한 랫드의 간에서 c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 대조군에 비하여 차이가 거의 없었다. 따라서 랫드에서 화학적으로 유도한 간암발생 과정에서 NK 세포활성이 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 생각되며, c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 시험개시후 15주에 그 발현이 확실한 것으로 사료되어 진다.

Background: As personalized healthcare industry has attracted much attention, big data analysis of healthcare data is essential. Lots of healthcare data such as product labeling, biomedical literature and social media data are unstructured, extracting meaningful information from the unstructured text data are becoming important. In particular, text mining for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reports is able to provide signal information to predict and detect adverse drug reactions. There has been no study on text analysis of expert opinion on Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KAERS) databases in Korea. Methods: Expert opinion text of KAERS database provided by Korea Institute of Drug Safety & Risk Management (KIDS-KD) are analyzed. To understand the whole text, word frequency analysis are performed, and to look for important keywords from the text TF-IDF weight analysis are performed. Also, related keywords with the important keywords are presented by calculating correlation coefficient. Results: Among total 90,522 reports, 120 insulin ADR report and 858 tramadol ADR report were analyzed. The ADRs such as dizziness, headache, vomiting, dyspepsia, and shock were ranked in order in the insulin data, while the ADR symptoms such as vomiting, 어지러움, dizziness, dyspepsia and constipation were ranked in order in the tramadol data as the most frequently used keywords. Conclusion: Using text mining of the expert opinion in KIDS-KD, frequently mentioned ADRs and medications are easily recovered. Text mining in ADRs research is able to play an important role in detecting signal information and prediction of ADRs.

In this paper, we propose a scheme to reduce the number of shadow tests conducted during rendering of ray tracing. The shadow test is a very important process in ray tracing to generate photo-realistic images. In the rendering phase, the ray tracer determines whether to cull the shadow test based on information calculated from a shadow test conducted on the kd-tree in the preprocessing phase. In conventional rendering process, the proposed method can be used with little modification. The proposed method is suitable for a static scene, in which the geometry and light source does not change in the same manner as it does in the conventional method. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified and its performance is evaluated during cycle-accurate simulation. Through experiment results, we found that we could reduce up to 17% of the shadow test.
