Alterations in the cellular genome affecting the expression or function of genes controlling cell growth and differentiation are considered to be the main cause of cancer. Over 30 oncogenes can be activated by insertional mutagenesis, single point mutations, chromosomal translocations and gene amplification. The ras oncogenes have been detected in $15{\sim}20%$ of human tumors that include some of the most common forms of human neoplasia and are known to acquire their transforming properties by single point mutations in two domains of their coding sequences, most commonly in codons 12 and 61. The ras gene family consists of three functional genes, N-ras, K-ras and H-ras which encode highly similar proteins of 188 or 189 amino acid residues generically known as P21. ras proteins have been shown to bind GTP and GTP, and possess intrinsic GTPase activity. Experimental study was performed to observe the mutational change of the ras gene family and apply the results to the clinical activity. 36 Golden Syrian Hamster each weighing $60{\sim}80g$ were used and painted with 0.5% DMBA by 3 times weekly on the right buccal cheek(experimental side) for 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks. Left buccal cheek (control side) was treated with mineral oil as the same manner of the right side. The hamsters were sacrificed on the 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 & 16 weeks. Normal and tumor tissues from paraffin block were completely dissected by microdissection and DNA from both tissue were isolated by proteinase K/phenol/chloroform extraction. Segments of the K-ras and H-ras gene were amplified by PCR using the oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the homologous region (codon 12 and 61) of the hamster gene, and then confirmational change of ras genes was observed by SSCP and autosequencing analysis. The results were as follows : 1. Malignant lesion could be found in the experimental side from the experimental six weeks. 2. One hamster among six showed point mutation of the H-ras codon 12($G{\rightarrow}A$ transition) at the experimental 10 and 14 weeks. 3. One of six at 6 weeks, two of six at 8 weeks and one of six at 12 weeks revealed the confirmational change of the H-ras codon 61($A{\rightarrow}T$ transversion). 4. The incidence of point mutation of H-ras codon 12 and 61 were 5.5%(2 of 36) and 11%(4 of 36) respectively. 5. Point mutation of the K-ras could not be seen during the whole experimental period. Form the above results, these findings strongly support the concept that H-ras oncogenes may have the influence of the DMBA induced carcinoma of hamster buccal pouch.

탄성파 탐사를 통해 취득된 자료는 적절한 자료처리 및 해석 과정을 거쳐 석유, 가스 자원의 부존여부를 파악하는데 활용할 수 있다. 자원의 부존여부를 지시하는 탄성파 속성은 진폭 정보로부터 도출되며, 이 때 탄성파 고유 감쇠를 표현하는 Q 값은 탄화수소 지시자로서 유용하게 사용된다. 따라서, Q 값을 산출하는 기법의 정확성이 자원 부존여부를 파악하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 수치모형실험을 통해 탄성파 감쇠를 표현하는 Q 값을 산출하고 오차율을 분석하였다. 실제 현장자료를 모사하기 위해 무작위 잡음을 추가한 자료에 대하여 스펙트럼 진폭 비교법과 최대 주파수 이동법을 이용하여 Q 값을 산출하고 오차율을 분석하였다. Q 값을 산출한 결과 무작위 잡음을 추가하여 신호대 잡음비가 90 dB 일 때는 두 가지 방법 모두 비교적 정확한 값을 산출하였으나, 무작위 잡음의 크기가 증가할 경우 최대 주파수 이동법이 스펙트럼 진폭 비교법 보다 정확한 결과를 도출함을 알 수 있었다.

Transgenic animals production tools have been valuable for research and purpose. The current methods of gene transfer, microinjection and nuclear transfer, which are widely used in transgenic animal production, but all most methods has only had limited success in production of larger species. Here, we report the possibility of a sperm-mediated gene transfer method in porcine embryos. Oocytes were collected from ovaries harvested at a local slaughterhouse were matured in 500${mu}ell$ drops of TCM-199 under mineral oil at 38.5$^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of 5%CO2 in air. After 42-43h of in vitro maturation oocytes were denuded. for sperm injection into the cytoplasm of the porcine oocytes, sperm suspension in NIM medium are subjected extraction with TritonX-100 before mixing with a green fluorescent gene (GFP). Sperm with Tritonx-100 were prepared by adding TritonX-100 to a final volume of 0.05% in the sperm suspension and mixing by trituration for 60s before two wishes in NIM medium at 2$^{\circ}C$. A(ter wishing, sperm were mixed with TritonX-100 at $25^{\circ}C$ followed by washes at 2$^{\circ}C$. Sperm were resuspended in ice cold NIM to a final volume of 400${mu}ell$ and 2-20ng/${mu}ell$ DNA were triturated on ice for 60s. All microinjection was performed in HEPES-buffered CZB medium at room temperature within 2h. After culture in NCSU-23 for 72h, percent of porcine embryos transfected GFP gene are 20.7%(6/29) in 20ng/${mu}ell$ sperm-DNA mixed group and other groups were 3.7 %(2/54)and 4.7%(3/67). These data suggests that sperm-mediated gene transfer method should be used to the production tool of transgenic pig efficiently.

Oil and natural gas reserves have been recognised abundantly in clayey rich rock formations in deep costal reservoirs. It is necessary to understand the sedimentary history of those reservoir rocks to well explore these natural resources. This work designs a group of laboratory experiments to mimic the physical process of the sedimentary clay-rich rock formation. It presents characterisation results of the physical properties of the artificial clayey rocks synthesized from illite clay, quartz sand and brine water by high-pressure consolidation tests. Special focus is given on the effects of illite clay content and high-stress consolidation on the physical properties. Multi-step loaded consolidation experiments were carried out with stress up to 35 MPa on mixtures constituting of the illite clay, quartz sand and brine water with five initial illite clay contents (w=85%, 70%, 55%, 40% and 25%). Compressibility and void ratio were characterised throughout the physical compaction process of the mixtures constituting of five illite clay contents and their water permeability was measured as well. Results show that the applied stress induces a great reduction of clayey rock void ratio. Illite clay contents has a significant influence on the compressibility, void ratio and the permeability of the physically synthesized clayey rocks. There is a critical illite clay content w=70% that induces the minimum void ratio in the physically synthesised clayey rocks. The SEM study indicates, in the high-pressure synthesised clayey rocks with high illite clay contents, the illite clay minerals are located in layers and serve as the material matrix, and the quartz minerals fill in the inter-mineral pores or are embedded in the illite clay matrix. The arrangements of the minerals in microscale originate the structural anisotropy of the high-pressure synthesised clayey rock. The test findings can give an intuitive physical understanding of the deep-buried clayey rock basins in energy reservoirs.

Heat shock protein (HSP) expression is unregulated in tumor cells and, HSP expression is likely marker of the malignant potential of oral epithelial lesion. Furthermore, the 70kDa HSP is implicated in the degree of tumor differentiation, the rate of tumor proliferation and the magnitude of the anti-tumor immune response. Accordingly, the distribution and intensity of HSP 70 and HSP 47 expression was assessed in the DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis in hamster. Golden Syrian hamsters which were 3 months-age and 90-120g were collected. 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA) in a 0.5% solution in mineral oil was painted on the buccal pouch mucosa 3 times per week in the study group. In each control and experimental groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 weeks, specimen were sectioned for immunohistochemical study with anti-HSP47 and anti-HSP70 antibody. The following results were obtained. 1. HSP47 positive cells were rare or negative of normal oral mucosa, increased mildly in basal and suprabasal basal layer, and spinous cell layer after experimental 6 weeks (dysplastic or CIS stage). In CIS stage, HSP47 expression is prominent in dysplastic free or normal adjacent epithelium. 2. HSP 47 positive cells in connective tissue were mainly inflammatory cells, which is gradually increased from control to precancerous and cancer stage. But HSP47 positive cells after 14 weeks were decreased, especially normal and cancer adjacent epithelium. 3. The positive staining cells of HSP70 in control, dysplastic, and CIS stage were not seen. But they were mild findings in basal layer and moderate findings in spinous layer after experimental 14 weeks (cancer stage). 4. HSP70 positive cells were increased in precancerous and cancer stage than control group in connective tissue. After experimental 16 weeks, we could not find the HSP expression in cancer cells according to cancer differentiation or cancer stage. It is concluded that HSP70 or HSP47 expression is not a definitive marker of oral malignancy or malignant potential. However, with further development, HSP immunoreactivity may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for assessing the malignant potential of oral mucosal lesions.

These study was carried out to investigate the effects of the supplementation with sodium nitroprusside (SN) and nitric oxide (NO) of canine oocytes on IVM rates. Oocytes were incubated in TCM-199 supplement with at 0.03~0.10 mM SN and 0.3~1.0 mM NO for 48 hrs. Oocytes were transferred to 50 ul drops of maturation medium covered mineral oil and cultured in a $CO_2$ incubator (5% $CO_2$, 95% air, $38^{\circ}C$). The in vitro maturation rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in TCM-199 medium supplement with 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10 mM SN were $25.9{\pm}3.5%$, $36.4{\pm}3.2%$, $33.3{\pm}3.5%$, $28.8{\m}3.2%$, respectively. The in vitro maturation rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in TCM-199 medium supplement with 0.03~0.07 mM SN were significantly increased compare to the control ($26.0{\pm}2.2%$). The in vitro maturation rates of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in TCM-199 medium supplement with 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mM NO were $28.0{\pm}4.2%$, $36.5{\pm}3.6%$, $30.0{\pm}3.8%$, $19.2{\pm}3.5%$, respectively. The in vitro maturation rate of oocytes in TCM-199 medium supplemented with 0.3 and 0.5 mM NO were significantly increased compare to the control ($26.0{\pm}2.2%$). The in vitro maturation rates of oocytes cultured for 12~48 hrs in TCM-199 medium supplement with 0.05 mM SN were $26.0{\pm}3.2%$, $28.0{\pm}3.4%$, $38.0{\pm}3.2%$, respectively. The in vitro maturation rate of oocytes cultured for 12~48 hrs in TCM-199 medium supplement with 0.5 mM NO were $22.0{\pm}3.0%$, $30.0{\pm}3.8%$, $36.0{\pm}4.2%$, respectively. These result was significantly increased compare to the control.

Air pollution trends in Japan between 1970 and 2012 were analyzed, and the impact of air pollution countermeasures was evaluated. Concentrations of CO decreased from 1970 to 2012, and in 2012, the Japanese environmental quality standard (EQS) for CO was satisfied. Concentrations of $SO_2$ dropped markedly in the 1970s, owing to use of desulfurization technologies and low-sulfur heavy oil. Major reductions in the sulfur content of diesel fuel in the 1990s resulted in further decreases of $SO_2$ levels. In 2012, the EQS for $SO_2$ was satisfied at most air quality monitoring stations. Concentrations of $NO_2$ decreased from 1970 to 1985, but increased from 1985 to 1995. After 1995, $NO_2$ concentrations decreased, especially after 2006. In 2012, the EQS for $NO_2$ was satisfied at most air quality monitoring stations, except those alongside roads. The annual mean for the daily maximum concentrations of photochemical oxidants (OX) increased from 1980 to 2010, but after 2006, the $98^{th}$ percentile values of the OX concentrations decreased. In 2012, the EQS for OX was not satisfied at most air quality monitoring stations. Non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) concentrations generally decreased from 1976 to 2012. In 2011, NMHC concentrations near roads and in the general environment were nearly the same. The concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) generally decreased. In 2011, the EQS for SPM was satisfied at 69.2% of ambient air monitoring stations, and 72.9% of roadside air-monitoring stations. Impacts from mineral dust from continental Asia were especially pronounced in the western part of Japan in spring, and year-round variation was large. The concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ generally decreased, but the EQS for $PM_{2.5}$ is still not satisfied. The air pollution trends were closely synchronized with promulgation of regulations designed to limit pollutant emissions. Trans-boundary OX and $PM_{2.5}$ has become a big issue which contains global warming chemical species such as ozone and black carbon (so called SLCP: Short Lived Climate Pollutants). Cobeneficial reduction approach for these pollutants will be important to improve both in regional and global atmospheric environmental conditions.

Hexane을 유일 탄소원으로 첨가한 무기염 배지에서 hexane 생분해 속도와 비성장속도를 구하였고, $^{14}C-hexane$을 이용하여 무기화(mineralization) 정도를 측정하였다. 또한, 16S rDNA PCR-DGGE 분석기법을 활용하여 consortium의 미생물 군집 특성을 조사하였다. Consortium CH의 최대 비성장속도 (${\mu}_{max}$)값은 $0.2\;h^{-1}$이고, 최대 hexane 분해속도 ($V_{max}$)와 포화상수 ($K_{s}$)는 각각 460 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}g-DCW^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ 및 25.87mM 이었다. Consortium CH는 $^{14}C-hexane$의 약 $49.1\%$를 무기화하였고, $43.6{\%}$의 $^{14}C-hexane$는 biomass를 증가시키는데 사용하였다. DGGE band로부터 얻은 clone들은 유류, biphenyl, PCE 및 폐가스 등과 같은 오염물질 분해능을 가진 세균들과 유사성이 가장 높았다. 본 연구에서 얻은 hexane 생분해용 consortium은 향후 hexane 제거용 생물학적 시스템을 개발하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

마늘 flavor의 발현과 flavor에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 살펴보았다. 마늘 flavor는 alk(en)yl-$\small{L}$-cysteine sulfoxide에 alliinase가 작용하여 생성된 alk(en)yl thiosulfinate에 의한 것으로 alk(en)yl기는 주로 allyl기이다. 마늘의 flavor세기는 성숙도 부위, 배양조건, 저장조건, 가공처리법에 따라 달라진다. 마늘의 flavor를 증진시키기 위해서는, 마늘 재배시 토양내 유황의 함량이 많을수록 flavor 전구체의 생성량이 증가하여 flavor 세기가 커졌으므로, 충분한 양의 유황을 공급하되 alliin함량이 최대로 되기 위한 다른 무기질과의 조성비율 중 현재까지 연구된 2종류의 무기질 조성(NS : ${NO_3}^{-2}$, 40%, ${SO_4}^{-2}$, 60%, NP : ${NO_3}^{-2}$, 62%, ${PO_4}^{-3}$, 38%)을 고려하여야 할 것이며, 너무 습하지 않은 토양에서 재배하는것이 바람직하다. 마늘은 성숙함에 따라 인편내 alliin함량도 증가되므로 완전히 성숙한 후에 수확하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 마늘의 flavor를 유지하기 위해서는 수확후 저장하는 동안에 일어나는 flavor 손실을 최소로 하여야 할 것이다. 자연조건에 저장하는 동안에 일어나는 flavor 손실은 주로 호흡, 발아, 부패에 의한 것이므로 이를 억제하기 위한 저장방법으로 저온 저습저장, 예건처리, gas치환, 발아억제 처리등의 방법이 있으나 현재까지 경제, 실용성등을 고려하여 가장 많이 사용하는 방법은 예건처리후 저온저습조건에 저장하는 방법이다. 가공처리된 마늘은 생마늘에 비하여 flavor가 상당히 많이 감소되는데 건조시켜 분말로 만들 경우, 건조방법에 따라 flavor 감소정도는 크지만 flavor 감소율이 적은 방법 (진공건조, 동결건조)이라도 그 손실률은 거의 50%에 달한다. 그외의 마늘 가공처리품들인 oil이나 extract등도 제조시 기질과 효소가 접촉하는 과정을 거칠 때 flavor의 손실이 크므로 되도록 이면 flavor 손실이 크지 않은 방법으로 제조하는 것이 바람직하다. 마늘 flavor를 합성하는 방법으로는 thiosulfinate 합성에 의한 방법과 alk(en)yl-$\small{L}$-cysteine sulfo-xide-alliinase 분해물에 의한 방법, 그리고 $\small{L}$-5-alk(en)yl thiomethylhydantoin${\pm}$S-oxides에 의한 방법이 있으며 이들 방법에 의해 생마늘과 유사한 flavor를 얻을 수 있어 앞으로 식품첨가물로서 기대되는 바이다.
