  • Corrosion science faces new challenges in various nuclear environments. Three main areas may be identified where increases of knowledge and understanding have been done and are still needed to face the technical needs: (i) the extension of the service time of nuclear power plants from 40 years, as initially planned, to 60 years and probably more as expected now, (ii) the prediction of long term behaviour of metallic materials in nuclear waste disposal where the corrosion processes have to be predicted over large periods of time, some thousands years and more, (iii) the choice of materials for use at very high temperatures as expected in Generation IV power plants in environments like gas (helium), supercritical water, liquid metals or salts. Service time extension, deep geological waste repositories and high temperature reactors sustain researches and developments to model corrosion phenomena at various scales, from atoms to components.

  • 본 논문에서는 cytochrome P450 LA1 유전자의 5'-upsteam 조절부위의 클로닝을 실시하였다. pUC19 vector에 연결시킨 3.4 Kb 크기의 Pstl DNA조각을 Sst1, Nco1 제한 효소로 자른 뒤, Exonuclease III 를 처리하여 약 200bp 씩의 차이를 갖는 여러 크기의 plasmid들을 얻었다. 이 plasmid 의 핵산서열을 알아보기 위해 dideoxy nucletide를 이용한 sequencing방법으로 그 핵산서열의 결정 실험을 시도하였다. 또한, 다환상 방향족 탄화수소 화합물에 반응성을 갖는 C57BL/6N 생쥐와 반응성을 갖지않는 DBA/2N 생쥐에 있어 phase II 대사 효소인UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 효소활성에 대한 3-methylcholanthrene의 영향을 알아보기 위해 C57BL/6N 생쥐와 DBA/2N 생쥐에 각각 다른 농도의 3-methylcholanthrene을 처리하거나 각기 다른 시간에 3-methylcholanthrene를 처리하였다. 그 결과 UDP-glucuronosyl-transferase의 mRNA가 3-methylcholanthrene양의 증가에 따라, 처치시간이 길어짐에 따라 증가되어지며 그 mRNA위 크기는 약 2.2Kb 정도임을 알았다. 이로부터 UDP-ghucuronosyltransferase 또한 cytochrome P45O와 함께 다환상 방향족 탄화수소 화합물 조절인자를 통한 조절을 받을 것이며 phase I phase II 약물 대사 효소가 조절상 밀접한 관련을 가짐을 예측할 수 있었다.

  • Chondroblastomas are rare entities accounting for approximately 1% of all primary bone tumors. We describe a case of a 7-year-old girl with a giant chondroblastoma of the maxilla, treated with bilateral class III maxillectomy and reconstruction with a double-barreled and double skin paddle fibular free flap. We show evidence of an excellent aesthetic outcome at 6 months' follow up with no evidence of tumor recurrence.

  • Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Family Araliaceae) was treated at low ($60^{\circ}C$, LT), mild ($100^{\circ}C$, MT) and high ($120^{\circ}C$, HT) temperatures, some components (panaxytriol, ginsenosides and polysaccharides) were isolated, and their inhibitory effects on growth, infection and VacA vacuolation of Helicobacter pylori (HP) were investigated. The molecular weights of polysaccharides were decreased according to the increasing processed temperature. Ginseng polysaccharides inhibited the HP infection into KATO III cells, but did not inhibit HP growth and VacA vacuolation of HeLa cells. (omitted)

  • Skeletal Class III malocclusions are growth-related discrepancies, and the problems are more severe until growth is complete. Causes of skeletal Class III malocclusion are classified into mandibular overgrowth, maxillary deficiency, and combination of the two. Face mask has been recommended for treatment of Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency in the early time of growth. Numerous experiments were performed and clinical studies have been reported on face mask ; nevertheless, studies on profile changes and stability after treatment of face mask are considered to be somewhat insufficient. The author selected 50 patients who can be checked for follow-up. They had been diagnosed as skeletal Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency and then treated with face mask ; the sample group was divided according to sex, treatment beginning age, palatal suture opening (intraoral appliance). For each group, changing pattern of facial profile and stability of treatment observed, and comparison with 20 Korean normal children(Angle's Class I). The following results were obtained. 1. skeletal, dental, and soft tissue measurements indicated more changes in the amounts of maxillary forward movement during face mask treatment. 2. R.P.E. group showed more significant maxillofacial changes and La-Li group showed more dental changes. 3. Growth changes of maxilla induced in the treatment group during wearing face mask were much more than those of normal group. 4. Growth changes of maxilla in the treatment group after treatment of face mask were less than those of normal group. From the obtained aata, it can be concluded that there was a stimulative effect on forward growth of maxilla during the use of face mask ; however, on removal of face mask, the stimulative effect was eliminated and undergrowth tendency of maxilla resumed.

  • These studies were carried out to understand the mechanisms of genes which are related in cell cycle progression at G1/S phase. Mutants involved in cell cycle progression and regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated and characterized. To isolate new mutants, we screened the sensitivity to ciclopirox olamine (CPO) which inhibits the cell cycle traverse at or very near the G1/S phase boundary in HeLa cell and budding yeast. As results, we isolated 30 mutants and named cos(ciclopirox olamine sensitivity: cos27∼cos57) mutants. To determine the phenotype of mutants, we examined the sensitivity to methyl-methane sulfonate (MMS) and hydroxyurea (HU). Several mutants were sensitive to MMS and HU. According to these Phenotypes, cos mutants were grouped into four. Group I mutants are cos27, cos28, cos32, cos33, cos36, cos37, cos40, cos42, cos46, cos50, cos52 and cos53 which show MMS, HU sensitivities and might act at a checkpoint pathway during S phase. Group II mutants are cos43 and cos48 which show MMS sensitivities and might act at a checkpoint pathway during Gl or G2 phase. Group III mutants are cos35, cos47, cos54, cos55 and cos56 which show HU sensitivities and might act at a progress pathway during S phase. Finally, Group IV mutants are cos29, cos30, cos31, cos34, cos38, cos39, cos41, cos44, cos45, cos49, cos51 and cos57 which show only CPO sensitivities. Moreover, we examined the terminal phenotype of mutants under fluorescent microscope and then found one of S phase checkpoint related mutant(cos37). Furthermore, we constructed the heterozygote strain between mutant and wild type haploid strains to study their genetic analysis of cos mutants.

  • A La (III) ion-selective membrane sensor has been fabricated from poly vinyl chloride (PVC) matrix membrane, containing 3-hydroxy-N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-naphthohydrazide (HPMN) as a neutral carrier, potassium tetrakis (p-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as an anionic excluder and ortho-nitrophenyloctyl ether (NPOE) as a plasticizing solvent mediator. The effects of membrane composition and pH as well as the influence of the anionic additive on the response properties were investigated. The sensor with 30% PVC, 62% solvent mediator, 6% ionophore and 2% anionic additive, shows the best potentiometric response characteristics. It displays a Nernstian behavior (19.2 mV per decade) across the range of $1.0{\times}10^{-2}-1.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M. The detection limit of the electrode is $7.0{\times}10^{-8}$ M ($\sim$10 ng/mL) and the response time is 15 s from $1.0{\times}10^{-2}$ up to $1.0{\times}10^{-4} $M and 30 s in the range of $1.0 {\times}10^{-5}-1.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M. The sensor can be used in the pH values of 3.0-9.0 for about seven weeks. The membrane sensor was used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of lanthanum ions with EDTA. It was successfully applied to the lanthanum determination in some mouth wash preparations.

  • Gamadi, a native rice cultivar from Nepal in which the panicle remains enclosed within its flag leaf sheath upto maturity, was crossed with different genetic marker testers of 12 linkage groups in order to analyze its linkage relationship. The results obtained from the experiment were summarized as follows: Normal segregations of all the genetic marker genes used in this experiment viz Cl, wx and Pla of linkage group I, Pn, Rd and Pub of linkage group III, and lg, g, Ps, gh, Hla, la, nl, bl, be and gl of linkage groups II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII respectively confirmed the previous results, and also strongly indicated that the genetic constituent of the Gamadi and marker testers is same. 'Gamadiness' (the panicle enclosing character) was controlled by two complementary dominant genes with the segregation ratio of 9 Gamadi to 7 normal panicle-exserting types. These genes have been temporarily proposed as G-a and G-b for gamadiness. G-a gene was found to be linked with the neckleaf gene (nl) of linkage group Ⅸ with the crossover value of 0.3733$\pm$0.027. G-b gene appeared to be associated with the brittle culm gene (bc) of the linkage group XI with the crossover value of 0.2725$\pm$0.061.TEX>0.061.

  • A monoclonal antibody against Toxoplasma gondii of Tg556 clone (Tg556) blotted a 29 kDa protein, which was localized in the dense granules of tachyzoites and secreted into the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) after infection to host cells. A cDNA fragment encoding the protein was obtained by screening a T. gondii cDNA expression library with Tg556, and the full-length was completed by 5'-RACE of 2,086 bp containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 669 bp. The ORF encoded a polypeptide of 222 amino acids homologous to the revised GRA3 but not to the first reported one. The polypeptide has 3 hydrophobic moieties of an N-terminal stop transfer sequence and 2 transmembrane domains (TMD) in posterior half of the sequence, a cytoplasmic localization motif after the second TMD and an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retrival motif in the C-terminal end, which suggests GRA3 as a type III transmembrane protein. With the ORF of GRA3, yeast two-hybrid assay was performed in HeLa cDNA expression library, which resulted in the interaction of GRA3 with calcium modulating ligand (CAMLG), a type II transmembrane protein of ER. The specific binding of GRA3 and CAMLG was confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays. The localities of fluorescence transfectionally expressed from GRA3 and CAMLG plasmids were overlapped completely in HeLa cell cytoplasm. In immunofluorescence assay, GRA3 and CAMLG were shown to be co-localized in the PVM of host cells. Structural binding of PVM-inserted GRA3 to CAMLG of ER suggested the receptor-ligand of ER recruitment to PVM during the parasitism of T. gondii.
