The callus from the hypocotyl region of immature embryo of Citrus junos Sieb. was efficiently induced in the $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium containing 45uM BA after 8 weeks culture. The callus was developed into the two callus type, embryogenic callus and nonembryogenic callus, which can be distinguished by visual examination depending on color and appearence. In vitro regeneration of callus established efficiently in the hormone-free MS medium from the embryogenic callus. In order to investigate the physiological changes depending on the developmental stage of embryo, the embryo was formed in the MS medium. The embryogenic and nonembryogenic callus, and the various stages of the somatic embryo were examimed the changes of esterase activity, and their isozyme patterns as well. The protein content and esterase activities was gradually increased on the developmental stages of embryo. Total protein pattern were different by the SDS-PAGE and were appeared strong band of 23 KD in the torpedo stage. The pattern of the esterase isozyme was exhibited a difference between embryogenic callus and nonembryogenic callus. It was appered pI 6.0, 8.0, 8.2 in the embryogenic callus. Also the new band of pI 4.75 was appeared in the cotyledon. These results suggest that the changes of esterase activities and isozyme patterns are importent factor in the differentiation and development of citrus.

Organic farming is considered an effective form of sustainable agricultural management. However, understanding of soil microbial diversity and composition under long-term organic and conventional farming is still limited and controversial. In this study, the Illumina MiSeq platform was applied to investigate the responses of soil bacterial and fungal diversity and compositions to organic farming (OF) and improved conventional farming (CF, applied straw retention) in the rice-wheat rotation system. The results highlighted that the alpha diversity of microbial communities did not differ significantly, except for higher bacterial diversity under OF. However, there were significant differences in the compositions of the soil bacterial and fungal communities between organic and conventional farming. Under our experimental conditions, through the ecological functional analysis of significant different or unique bacterial and fungal taxonomic members at the phyla and genus level, OF enhanced nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and carbon dynamic cycling in soil with the presence of Nodosilinea, Nitrospira, LCP-6, HB118, Lyngbya, GOUTA19, Mesorhizobium, Sandaracinobacter, Syntrophobacter and Sphingosinicella, and has the potential to strengthen soil metabolic ability with Novosphingobium. On the other hand, CF increased the intensity of nitrogen cycling with Ardenscatena, KD1-23, Iamia, Nitrosovibrio and Devosia, but enriched several pathogen fungal members, including Coniochaeta, Corallomycetella, Cyclaneusma, Cystostereum, Fistulina, Curvularia and Dissoconium.

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate direct oxidation of aqueous solution containing cefalexin antibiotic with new generation Sn/Sb/Ni: 500/8/1 anode. The fact that there is no such a study on treatment of cefalexin with these new anode made this study unique. According to the operating parameters evaluation COD graphs showed clearer results compared to TOC and CLX and thus, it was it was chosen as major parameter. Furthermore, pseudo-first degree kd values were calculated from CLX results to show more accurate and specific results. Experimental results showed that after 60 min of electrochemical oxidation, complete removal of COD and TOC was accomplished with 750 mg L^-1 KCl, at pH 7, 50 mA cm^-2 current density and 1 cm anode-cathode distance. Also, the stability of the Sn/Sb/Ni anode was evaluated by taking SEM and AFM images and XRD analysis before and after of electrochemical oxidation processes. According to the results, it was not occurred too much change on the anode surface even after 300 h of electrolysis. Thus, it was thought that the anode material was not corroded to a large extent. Furthermore, the removal efficiencies were very high for almost all the time and conditions. According to the results of the study, electrochemical oxidation with new generation Sn/Sb/Ni anodes for the removal of cefalexin antibiotic was found very successful and applicable due to require less reaction time complete mineralization and doesn't require pH adjustment step compared to other studies in literature. In future studies, different antibiotic types should be studied with this anode and maybe with real wastewaters to test applicability of the process in treatment of pharmaceutical wastewaters containing antibiotics, in a better way.

Aptamers are short, chemically synthesized, single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that fold into unique three-dimensional structures. In this study, we aim to determine the antibiofilm activity and binding specificity of the six polyclonal DNA aptamers (S15K3, S15K4, S15K6, S15K13, S15K15, and S15K20) on Staphylococcus aureus BPA-12 and Escherichia coli EPEC 4. Aptamer S15K6 showed the highest percentage of antibiofilm activity against S. aureus BPA-12 (37.4%) as shown by the lowest OD570 value of 0.313. Aptamer S15K20 showed the highest percentage of antibiofilm activity against E. coli EPEC 4 (15.4%) as shown by the lowest OD570 value of 0.515. Aptamers S15K13 and S15K20 showed antibiofilm activities against both S. aureus BPA-12 and E. coli EPEC4, and thus potentially have broad reactivity. Furthermore, based on the binding capacity and Kd values from our previous study, the binding specificity assay of selected polyclonal DNA aptamers (S15K3 and S15K15) against S. aureus BPA-12, E. coli EPEC 4, S. aureus BPA-6, S. agalactiae, E. coli MHA-6, and Listeria monocytogenes were performed using qPCR. Aptamers S15K3 and S15K15 showed specific binding to S. aureus BPA-12, E. coli EPEC 4, S. aureus BPA-6, and S. agalactiae, but could not bind to E. coli MHA-6 and L. monocytogenes. Therefore, this study showed that the polyclonal DNA aptamers have antibiofilm activity and were able to bind to S. aureus BPA-12 and E. coli EPEC 4 bacteria.

Purpose: The development of vaccines that confer protection against multiple avian influenza A (AIA) virus strains is necessary to prevent the emergence of highly infectious strains that may result in more severe outbreaks. Thus, this study applied reverse vaccinology approach in strategically constructing messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine construct against avian influenza A (mVAIA) to induce cross-protection while targeting diverse AIA virulence factors. Materials and Methods: Immunoinformatics tools and databases were utilized to identify conserved experimentally validated AIA epitopes. CD8⁺ epitopes were docked with dominant chicken major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) to evaluate complex formation. Conserved epitopes were adjoined in the optimized mVAIA sequence for efficient expression in Gallus gallus. Signal sequence for targeted secretory expression was included. Physicochemical properties, antigenicity, toxicity, and potential cross-reactivity were assessed. The tertiary structure of its protein sequence was modeled and validated in silico to investigate the accessibility of adjoined B-cell epitope. Potential immune responses were also simulated in C-ImmSim. Results: Eighteen experimentally validated epitopes were found conserved (Shannon index <2.0) in the study. These include one B-cell (SLLTEVETPIRNEWGCR) and 17 CD8⁺ epitopes, adjoined in a single mRNA construct. The CD8⁺ epitopes docked favorably with MHC peptidebinding groove, which were further supported by the acceptable ∆G_bind (-28.45 to -40.59 kJ/mol) and Kd (<1.00) values. The incorporated Sec/SPI (secretory/signal peptidase I) cleavage site was also recognized with a high probability (0.964814). Adjoined B-cell epitope was found within the disordered and accessible regions of the vaccine. Immune simulation results projected cytokine production, lymphocyte activation, and memory cell generation after the 1st dose of mVAIA. Conclusion: Results suggest that mVAIA possesses stability, safety, and immunogenicity. In vitro and in vivo confirmation in subsequent studies are anticipated.

연구배경 : 종양세포 성장의 역동학적 성상은, 종양의 분열능을 직접적으로 반영하므로 종양의 예후 예견에 임상적 의의가 있다. PCNA는 DNA 합성에 관여하는 36KD의 핵단백질로서, 종양 조직에서 면역조직화학적 방법으로, 그 발현 정도를 계측하여 종양세포 증식정도의 반영으로서 이용하고 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐암의 조직에서 면역조직화화적 방법으로 PCNA의 세포의 분열능을 반영하는 다른 분자생물학적 인자 즉 S-주기비율과의 관계를 확인하고, PCNA의 발현정도에 따른 폐암환자들의 생존률을 검색하였다. 방 법 : 대상군은 원발성 비소세포 폐암으로 확진 받고, 외과적 절제술 후 파라핀에 보관된 57례의 폐암 조직을 사용하여 면역조직화학 염색법으로 PCNA의 암세포형, TNM 병기, 세포 분화도, S-주기 비율과 생존률과의 관계를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 본 병원에서 외과적 절제술을 시행한 57례중 남녀비는 43 : 14였고, 평균연령은 60세였다. PCNA의 발현 정도는 25%를 기준으로 하여 +, ++, +++, ++++로 구분하였다. PCNA의 발현은 편평상피암에서 선암보다 강하게 발현되었으며, TNM 병기에 따른 PCNA 발현의 차이는 없었다. 세포의 분화도에 따라서 미분화일수록 PCNA의 발현 정도는 높았으나, 유의한 차이는 없었다. S-주기 비율은 -17.9%, +18.3(${\pm}9.7$)%, ++18.6(${\pm}11.1$)%, +++19.6(${\pm}9.0$)%, ++++24.7(${\pm}8.2$)% 였으나 서로간의 유의성있는 차이는 없었다. PCNA의 발현 정도에 따른 2년 생존률과 중간 생존기간은 -50% 13.0개월, +75% 41.3개월, ++73% 33.6개월, +++67% 29.0개월, ++++25% 9개월로서 서로간에 유의한 차이를 보여주고 있다(P<0.05, Kaplan-Meier법, generalized Wilcox). 결 론 : 비소세포 폐암에서 PCNA의 발현정도는 편평상피암에서 선암보다 높았고, TNM 병기와 세포분화도에 따른 차이는 없었다. PCNA 발현정도에 따라 S-주기 비율은 증가한 듯하나 유의성은 없었다. PCNA 발현이 높을수록 2년 생존률과 중간 생존기간은 유의하게 불량하였다. 즉 결과적으로 PCNA 염색법은 비소세포폐암의 예후인자로서의 이용이 가능하리라 생각된다.
