Asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangements of allyl propargyl ethers in hexane were performed in the presence of s-butyllithium and (-)-${\alpha}$-isosparteine which is a $C_2$-symmetric chiral ligand for the alkyllithium reagent. The reactions of (Z)-or (E)-allyl 3-trimethylsilylpropargyl ethers at -78$^{\circ}C$ showed good diastereoselectivities (74-100%) and moderate enantioselectivities (29-71%). The absolute configurations of the rearrangement products were determined by the corresponding Mosher's esters. It was found that (-)-${\alpha}$ -isosparteine induced (R) configuration at the hydroxy carbon and syn stereochemistry more favorably. The possible transition state is discussed.

The 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangements involving group (X) migration in ${\omega}$(X)-substituted 1,3-pentadiene, $C^1H_2=C^2H-C^3H=C^4H-C^5H_2-X$, where X = H, $CH_3$, $BH_2$, $NH_2$, OH or F, are investigated MO theoretically using the AM1 method. For the migrating groups without lone pair electrons, X = H, $CH_3$, or $BH_2$, the suprafacial pathway is favored, whereas for the migrating groups with lone pair electrons participating in the TS, $X=NH_2$, OH, or F, the antarafacial pathway is favored electronically. However excessive steric inhibition in the antarafacial TS for $X=NH_2$ leads to subjacent orbital controlled suprafacial process. The antarafacial shift of F is relatively disfavored compared to that of OH due to smaller orbital overlap and larger interfrontier energy gap in the TS.

The Wittig-oxy-Cope rearrangements of deprotonated diallyl ether, I, $CH_2={\bar{C}}H-CH-O-CH_2-CH=CH_2$, have been investigated theoretically by the AM1 method. A two step mechanism forming a Wittig product ion, II, $(CH_2=CH)$ $(CH_2=CH-CH_2)$ $CHO^-$, through a radical-pair intermediate was found to provide the most favored reaction pathway in the Wittig rearrangement. The subsequent oxy-Cope rearrangement from species II also involves a two step mechanism through a biradicaloid intermediate. The intramolecular proton transfer in I (to form $CH_2=CH-CH_2-O-{\bar{C}}H-CH=CH_2$) is a higher activation energy barrier process compared to the Wittig and oxy-Cope rearrangements and is considered to be insignificant. These results are in good agreement with the condensed-phase as well as gas-phase experimental results.

MINDO/3 theoretical studies were carried out on sigmatropic hydrogen rearrangements in systems with central nitrogen atom; three systems studied being (1) N-methylformaldimine, (2) nitrous acid, and (3) formaldoxime-nitrosomethane systems. It was found that in system (1), 1,3-H shift is preferred whereas in systems (2) and (3), 1,2-H shifts are favored. The relative order of reactivity for the three systems was found to be (2) < (3) < (1), which is exactly the opposite to that found for the corresponding systems with central carbon atom.

Recent studies on the photoreactivity of l,4-unsaturated systems have changed some ideas that were firmly established in this area of research for many years. Thus, we have described the first examples of 2-aza-di-$\pi$-methane (2-ADPM) rearrangements promoted by triplet-sensitization and by single electron transfer (SET) using electron-acceptor sensitizers. These reactions afford N-vinylaziridine and cyclopropylimine photoproducts in the first examples of di-$\pi$-methane processes that yield three-membered ring heterocycles. l-Aza-1,4-dienes also undergo SET-promoted l-aza-di-$\pi$-methane (l-ADPM) rearrangements via radical-cation intermediates using electron acceptor sensitizers. In some cases, alternative cyclizations yielding different carbocycles and heterocycles have been observed. The l-ADPM and di-$\pi$-methane (DPM) reactions also occur via radical-anion intermediates on irradiation using electron donor sensitizers. On the other hand, the photoreactivity reported for $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes for many years was decarbonylation to the corresponding alkenes. However, our studies demonstrate that these compounds undergo the oxa-di-$\pi$-methane (ODPM) rearrangement with high chemical and quantum efficiency. A comparison of the photochemical reactivity of $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes and corresponding methyl ketones has shown that the ketones do not undergo the ODPM rearrangement while the corresponding aldehydes are reactive by this pathway. Monosubstituted $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes at C-2 undergo the ODPM rearrangement yielding the corresponding cyclopropane carbaldehydes diastereoselectively. Finally, we have described the first examples of reactions, similar to the well know Norrish Type I process, which take place in the triplet excited state of $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by excitation of the C-C double bond instead of the carbonyl group.

Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) are structural chromosomal rearrangements involving at least three chromosomes and more than two breakpoints. CCR carriers are generally phenotypically normal but related to higher risk of recurrent miscarriage and having abnormal offspring with congenital anomalies. However, most of CCR carriers are not aware of their condition until genetic analysis of either abortus or affected baby or parental karyotyping is performed. Herein, we present the case that CCR carrier patients can be identified by preimplantation genetic testing of preimplantation embryos. An infertile male patient with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia was diagnosed balanced reciprocal translocation, 46,XY,t(3;11) (p26;p14) at first. After attempting the first preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangement (PGT-SR) cycle, we found the recurrent segmental gain or loss on 21q21.3-q22.3 of five out of nine embryos. As a result of karyotype re-analysis, the patient's karyotype showed a balanced CCR involving chromosomes 3, 11, and 21 with three breakpoints 3p26, 11p14, and 21q21. The patient underwent two PGT-SR cycles, and a pregnancy was established after the transfer of an euploid embryo in the second cycle. Amniocentesis confirmed that the baby carried normal karyotype without mosaicism. At 37 weeks gestation, a healthy girl weighting 3,050 g was born.

The potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the primary and secondary dissociations of the phenylarsane molecular ion (1a) were determined from the quantum chemical calculations using the G3(MP2)//B3LYP method. Several pathways for the loss of $H{\cdot}$ were determined and occurred though rearrangements as well as through direct bond cleavages. The kinetic analysis based on the PES for the primary dissociation showed that the loss of $H_2$ was more favored than the loss of $H{\cdot}$, but the $H{\cdot}$. loss competed with the $H_2$ loss at high energies. The bicyclic isomer, 7-arsa-norcaradiene radical cation, was formed through the 1,2 shift of an $\alpha$-H of 1a and played an important role as an intermediate for the further rearrangements in the loss of $H{\cdot}$ and the losses of $As{\cdot}$ and AsH. The reaction pathways for the formation of the major products in the secondary dissociations of $[M-H]^+$ and $[M-H_2]^{+\cdot}$. were examined. The theoretical prediction explained the previous experimental results for the dissociation at high energies but not the dissociation at low energies.

개의 림프종을 분자유전자학적으로 진단하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 12개의 염색 및 고정된 도말 표본으로부터 DNA를 추출한 후, 임파육종에 특이적인 재배열된 항원 수용체 유전자를 중합효소연쇄반응으로 증폭시켰다. 그 결과 6개의 type-B 림프종에서 type-B 세포의 림프종에 특이적인 IgH (immunoglobulin H) 주유전자(major gene)와 type-B 림프종의 부유전자(minor gene)가 증폭되었다. 또한, 3개의 type-T 세포의 림프종의 경우에도 이에 특이적인 $TCR{\gamma}$ 유전자가 증폭되었다. 한편, 에를리키아증에 이환된 표본은 $TCR{\gamma}$ 유전자가 위양성으로 증폭되었지만, 활성화된 림프절 샘플의 경우에는 어떤 유전자의 재배열도 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 림프종의 진단에 있어서 혈액 또는 조직 도말 표본의 DNA를 이용하여 재배열된 항원 수용체 유전자의 검출을 시도한다면, 특이적이고 객관적으로 림프종을 감별진단 할 수 있을 것이며, 나아가 회고적 분석에도 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In comparative genome analyses, synteny blocks play important roles for finding ortholog genes, reconstructing phylogenetic tree and predicting genome rearrangement events. In this paper, we propose a novel method to search biologically plausible synteny blocks not only from the viewpoint of finding highly preserved regions but also from the viewpoint of analyzing genome rearrangements. We have applied the method to our experiments on four fungal organisms, and succeeded to obtain some biologically interesting results.

Chromosome rearrangement induced by bleomycin were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probe for chromosome 4. The frequency of color junctions, translocations, dicentric and acenttic fragments increased with bleomycin dose. Different types of balanced translocation and dicentric were scored and compared. The frequency of cells exhibiting multiple aberration was higher compared to that of cells exposed to Gamma radiation suggesting that effect of bleomycin might be similar to that of high LET radiation.
