[ $^{31}P$ ] powder pattern spectra were measured to investigate the aspects of the interaction between the MLV (Multilamellar vesicle) and PMAP-23, a membrane of cathelicidin family and then CSAs(chemical shift anisotropy) were calculated to indentify the extent of perturbation of phospholipid mobility by the peptides. We found that acidic phospholipid interacts strongly with PMAP-23, and the analogues which modified to increase the amphipathic property showed that larger change of CSA. The analogue which introduced positive charge showed the same effects with amphipathic property.

A colloid refers to dispersed particles of a solid or liquid having the diameter of about $10^{-5}-10^{-7}cm$. Such colloidal silver is produced by electrolysis. In this paper, colloidal silvers of various concentrations according to charge amount and time are produced, and their anti-microbial activities are measured. And optimum conditions for emulsion are measured by varying the concentration of colloidal silvers. Further, stability of the emulsion is measured with a Zeta potential, chrome meter by applying colloidal silvers to creams (W/Si, O/W, MLV).

The effects of phosphatidic acid(PA) on the activity of phospholipase D were examined in detail. The enzyme activity was examined in the liposome system containing phosphatidylcholine and PA, which was suspended in a desired buffer solution by ultrasonication. The substrate of large unilamella vesicle (LUV) state by ultrasonication was more effective on the enzyme activity than that of multilamella vesicle(MLV) by water-bath type sonication. The most effective molar ratio of PC-PA liposome for enzyme activity was found to be 1:0.7. The other optimum conditions were found 5 mM $Ca^{2+}$ ion, pH 6.6, and incubation temperature of $27^{\circ}C. K_m \;and \;V_{max}$ values were estimated to be 1.43 mM and 0.8 $nmole/min/{\mu}g$ protein respectively. These properties in a PC-PA liposome system were compared with those in a PC-SDS mixed micelle system. The effects of other phospholipids and organic phosphates on the enzyme activity were also examined.

We report here the generation of transgenic chickens that produce human Thrombopoietin (hTPO) using replication-defective Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV)-based vectors packaged with vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSV-G). For the retrovirus vectors, we used hCMV (human Cytomegalovirus) internal promoter to drive the hTPO gene. After confirming the expression of the hTPO gene in various target cells, the concentrated solution of recombinant retrovirus was injected beneath the blastoderm of non-incubated chicken embryos (stage X). The biological activity of the recombinant hTPO in target cell was significantly higher than its commercially available counterpart. Out of 132 injected eggs, 11 chicks hatched after 21 days of incubation and 4 hatched chicks were found to express vector-encoded hTPO gene. However, 3 out of the 4 transgenics died within one month of hatching. The major significance of this study is that it is one of the very few successful reports on the production of transgenic chickens as bioreactors aiming mass production of commercially valuable and biological active human cytokine proteins.

We report here the production of transgenic chickens that can regulate human erythropoietin (hEPO) gene expression. The glycoprotein hormone hEPO is an essential for viability and growth of the erythrocytic progenitors. Retrovirus vector system used in this study has two features including tetracycline-controllable promoter and woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulator element (WPRE). The former is for to reduce the possibility of physiological disturbance due to constitutional and unregulated expression of hEPO gene in the transgenic chicken. The latter is for maximum expression of the foreign gene when we turn-on the gene expression. A replication-defective Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV)-based vectors packaged with vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSV-G) was injected beneath the blastoderm of non-incubated chicken embryos (stage X). Out of 325 injected eggs, 28 chicks hatched after 21 days of incubation and 16 hatched chicks were found to express the hEPO gene delivered by the vector. The biological activity of the recombinant hEPO in transgenic chicken serum was comparable to its commercially available counterpart. The recombinant hEPO in transgenic chicken serum had N- and O-linked carbohydrate simillar to that produced from in vitro cultured cells transformed with hEPO gene.

본 연구에서는 VSV-G(vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein)로 포장된 MoMLV(Moloney murine leukemia virus) retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 GFP가 발현되는 형질전환 닭을 생산하고자 하였다. GFP 유전자를 retroviral vector 내의 RSV(Rous sarcoma virus) promoter의 조절 하에 도입한 후, Gp293 세포주에서 virus 형태로 생산하였으며, 이 virus를 초원심분리로 고농축하여 stage X 계란의 배 반엽 층에 주입하여 GFP가 발현되는 형질전환 닭을 생산하였다. 생산된 닭에서의 GFP의 발현은 epifluorescence stereomicroscope를 이용하여 확인하였다. 이 방법은 기존의 여러 형질전환 가금 방법에 비하여 기술적인 용이성과 경제성을 가지므로(Muramatsu, Park and Okumura 1998), 매우 효율적이고 주목할 만한 형질전환 가금 생산 방법으로 사료된다. 형질전환 가금의 생산에서 retrovirus vector를 이용하는 방법은 다양한 종류의 표적세포에 대하여 retrovirus 고유의 감염성에 의한 외래 유전자의 전이가 용이하고, 전이된 유전자가 진정염색질 영역 내로 선택적으로 도입될 수 있으며 유전적으로 안정성을 나타내므로 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나 가금에서는 초기 배 발달에 의한 급격한 세포의 수적 증가로 인해 고감염성 virus의 획득이 요구되므로, 본 연구에서는 virus의 농축에 있어 보다 안정적이고 숙주 범위에 있어서 pantropic한 VSV-G에 기반을 둔 retrovirus vector system을 확립하였다. 이 system은 기존의 형질전환 닭의 생산방법에 비해 외래 유전자의 전이에 있어서 매우 효과적인 것으로 확인되었으며, 또한 여러 유용한 생리활성물질을 분비하는 형질전환 동물의 생산에 있어서 상당한 기여를 할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of core program exercise on balance in patients with chronic low back pain. Thirty-four subjects participated in this study, these subjects were assigned into two groups, a control group(n=17) and an experimental group(n=17). Methods: The subjects in the control group were received a conservative physical therapy and in the experimental group carried out the core program exercise for 30 minutes per day, three times a week during 6 weeks. In order to evaluate the progresses of balance ability, corresponding variables were measured at two times, pre and 6th week. The balance ability was assessed using GOOD BALANCE system. The collected data were analyzed by using the paired t-test and ANCOVA. In all statistical analyses, significance level, ${\alpha}$ was set by 0.05. Results: The results of this study were as follows: 1) In the position of left standing eye closed, there were significant difference of Y in the control group and X, Y, V in the experimental group. 2) In the position of right standing eye closed, there were significant difference of Y in the control group and X, Y, V in the experimental group. 3) In the position of dynamic balance 1, there were significant difference APV in experimental groups. 4) In the position of dynamic balance 2, there were significant difference MLV in experimental groups. 5) There were significances between the two group of X, V in static balance and APV in dynamic balance. Conclusion: The above results indicated that a core program exercise improved balance abilities in patients with chronic low back. The further studies should be focused at development of various modified forms of the core program exercise in keeping up the improvement effect of this exercise.

Background: Multiple etiologies have been hypothesized for prostate cancer, including genetic defects and infectious agents. A recently reported gamaretrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) has been reported to be detected in prostate cancer. However, this virus has not been detected in similar groups of patients in other studies. Herein, we sought to detect XMRV in prostate cancers and benign controls in Sanandaj, west of Iran. Materials and Methods: In a case-control study, genomic DNA was extracted from formalin fixed and paraffin embedded prostate tissues from a total of 163 Iranian patients. We developed a conventional and a nested PCR assay using primers targeting to an env specific sequence of XMRV. PCR assays were carried out on 63 prostate cancers and 100 benign prostate hyperplasias. Results: Beta-actin sequences were successfully detected in the DNA extracts from all prostate tissues, confirming DNA extraction integrity. We did not detect XMRV in samples either from prostate cancers or benign prostate hyperplasias using XMRV specific primers. Conclusions: We conclude that in our population XMRV does not play a role in genesis of prostate cancer.
