유휴농경지의 증가로 이에 대한 대안적 활용의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 경관의 모의조작을 통하여 이를 보다 적극적으로 산림으로 복구하거나 다른 대안으로의 이용하는 방안의 타당성을 검토하며 이에 대한 지불의사를 분석하고자 하였다. 두가지 유형의 유휴농경지에 대하여 각가 세개씩의 대안을 검토하여 총 6개의 대안을 검토하였다. SBE값은 폐경지상태가 가장 낮았으며 산림과 야생초화류로 복구되는 대안의 값이 유의하게 상승하였다. 각각의 토지이용대안에 대한 지불의사를 추정하기 위하여 로지스틱 모형을 적용하였으며 6개의 모델에 대한 ${\rho}$값은 0.3-0.4로서 예상된 적중률은 약 75%에 해당하였다. 독립변수 중에서 적중률에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 변수는 세액으로 나타났으며 수입은 통계적으로 유의한 관련을 가지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 변수들은 모델에 따라 다르게 나타났다. SBE와 WTP는 서로 일정한 상관을 가지는 것으로 사료되며 SBE가 증가함에 따라 WTP도 증가하는 것으로 추정되었다. 따라서, 농경지에 대한 경관의 질을 향상시킴으로써 전원지역의 환경보전에 대한 지불의사를 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The quality control of ocean observations data is becoming a major issue as real-time observational data and information services have increased recently. Therefore, it is necessary for oceanographic instruments to calibrate. In this paper, we first introduce the CTD calibration system and traceability. Next, CTD calibration procedures and estimation of uncertainty of measurement are described. The expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the temperature, pressure and conductivity are 0.$0.003^{\circ}C$, $6.0{\times}10^{-5}$ and 0.006 mS/cm respectively. Finally, the excellence of CTD calibration and its measurement capability has been proven by comparing the inter-calibration result of KIOST and Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE). CTD calibration residuals are less than ${\pm}0.0001^{\circ}C$, ${\pm}0.001$ MPa, ${\pm}0.0001$ S/m for SBE 3plus temperature sensor, SBE 19plus pressure sensor and SBE 4C conductivity sensor respectively.

The starch-branching enzymes (BEs) are responsible for synthesizing the amylopectin, which plays an important role in determining the structural and physical properties of starch granules. BE has two differently functioning isoforms (BEI and BEIIa/b) based on their difference in the chain-length pattern by the degree of polymerization (DP), which mainly contributes to the amylopectin chain length distribution in starch biosynthesis. In this study, we investigated functional haplotypes and evolutionary analyses of SBE1 in 374 rice accessions (320 Korean bred and 54 wild). The analyses were performed based on the classified subpopulations. Haplotype analysis generates a total of 8 haplotypes, of which only four haplotypes were functional carrying four functional SNPs in four different exons of SBE1 on chromosome 6. Nucleotide diversity analysis showed a highest pi-value in aromatic group (0.0029), while the lowest diversity value was in temperate japonica (0.0002), indicating the signal of this gene evolution origin. Different directional selections could be estimated by negative Tajima's D value of temperate japonica (-1.1285) and positive Tajima's D value of tropical japonica (0.9456), where the selective sweeps were undergone by both positive purifying and balancing selections. Phylogenetic analysis indicates a closer relationship of the wild with most of the cultivated subgroups indicating a common ancestor for SBE1 gene. FST-values indicate distant genetic relationships of temperate japonica from all other classified groups. PCA and population structure analysis show an admixed structure of wild and cultivated subpopulations in some proportions.

Purposed: This study was conducted to find out by ultrasonic waves the thickness change of the deep abdominal muscles, such as transverse abdominal, internal oblique and external oblique when performing general bridge exercise on the stable surface (GBE), single-legged bridge exercise on the stable surface (BES), bridge exercise with a sling (SBE) and single-legged bridge exercise with a sling (SBS). Methods: The subject, 33 healthy adults(18 men and 15 women) in their 20s of V university in J city were subjected to take four postures of GBE, BES, SBE, and SBS. When performing each posture, the thickness of transverse abdominal, internal oblique and external oblique were measured by ultrasonic waves and analyzed by repeated measures of ANOVA. This significance level was set to be p<.05. Results: Muscle thickness was increased in the order of BES, SBE, and GBE in the external oblique, resulting in statistically significant differences(p<.001). The internal oblique was significantly thicker in SBE and SBS rather than in GBE, and was thicker in SBE and SBS rather than in BES (p<.01). The thickness of the transverse abdominal was significantly increased in SBS than in GBE (p<.01). Conclusion: As the result, it may be more effective for the trunk stabilization exercises to activate the internal oblique and transverse abdominal by applying both-legged or single-legged bridge exercise in slings.

Obesity is considered a mild inflammatory state, and the secretion of inflammation-related cytokines rises as adipose tissue expands. Inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), interlukin 6 (IL-6) and monocyte-chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), are modulated by adipose tissue and known to play an important role in insulin resistance which is the common characteristics of obesity related disorders. In this study we analyzed the effects of Sasa borealis leaves extract on inflammatory cytokines and insulin resistance in diet induced obese C57/BL6J mice. The obese state was induced by a high fat diet for 20 weeks and then the mice were divided into two groups; obese control group (OBC, n = 7) and experimental group (OB-SBE, n = 7). The OBC group was fed a high fat diet and the OB-SBE group was fed a high fat diet containing 5% Sasa borealis leaves extract (SBE) for 12 weeks. We also used mice fed a standard diet as a normal control (NC, n = 7). The body weight and adipose tissue weight in the OB group were significantly higher than those in the NC group. The effects of the high fat diet were reduced by SBE treatments, and the body weight and adipose tissue deposition in the OB-SBE group were significantly decreased compared to the OBC group. The OBC group showed higher serum glucose and insulin levels which resulted in a significant increase of incremental area under the curve (IAUC) and HOMA-IR than the NC group. Also, serum leptin, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the OBC group than in the NC group. In contrast, the OB-SBE group showed a reversal in the metabolic defects, including a decrease in glucose, insulin, IAUC, HOMA-IR, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and leptin levels. These results suggest that BSE can suppress increased weight gain and/or fat deposition induced by a high fat diet and theses effects are accompanied by modulation of the inflammatory cytokines, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 secretion resulting in improved insulin resistance.

Currently, abundant wastes from the palm oil refining process have been generated which are hard to handle. Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) is the solid waste from this process and leads the cost of elimination to the company. This study aims to utilize the SBE as the alternative material in the non-fired wall tiles. The main raw materials used in non-fired wall tiles consist of laterite soil, fluvial sand, and Portland cement. The experimental formulas have been conducted and divided into 3 groups by varying the percentage of the SBE in main raw materials. The specimens of material mixture have been produced by uniaxial pressing at 100 bars, dimensions in $50{\times}100{\times}8mm$. These specimens are sprayed with water and cured in the air for 7 days. After that, bending strength and water absorption test of these specimens has been performed. It can be concluded that the best formula with the percentage of laterite soil, fluvial sand, Portland cement, and SBE are 60.94%, 13.125%, 22.5%, and 3.435%, respectively. Its bending strength and %water absorption are 0.68 MPa and 5.64%. Material costs of specimen are approximately $0.00276 USD/100g. Furthermore, the comparison of curing period between 7 days and 30 days has been performed. The 30 days of curing period can improve the bending strength of the specimen, but there is no effect on water absorption.

Purpose: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most frequent cause of chronic liver diseases in both adults and children with obesity. The aim of this study was to compare the changes in liver enzymes and metabolic profile in adolescents with fatty liver following selected school-based exercise (SBE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) interventions. Methods: In a semi-experimental study, 34 obese male adolescents with clinically defined NAFLD were divided into the HIIT (n=11, age=12.81±1.02 years, body mass index [BMI]=26.68±2.32 kg/㎡), selected SBE (n=11, age=13.39±0.95 years, BMI=26.47±1.74 kg/㎡), and control (n=12, age=13.14±1.49 years, BMI=26.45±2.21 kg/㎡) groups. The ultrasonography NAFLD grade, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), lipid profile, insulin resistance, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels of the participants were measured before and after the exercise interventions. Results: The BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage of the participants decreased, and a significant increase in VO2peak was observed after the intervention; however, the HIIT group showed a significant improvement compared with the SBE group (p<0.01). Significant reductions were observed in the levels of insulin resistance, triglyceride, total cholesterol, ALT, and AST in both groups, although high-density lipoprotein levels decreased only in the HIIT group (p<0.01). Further, a significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein level was observed in the training groups (p<0.01), but this decrease was not significant compared with the control group (p>0.01). Conclusion: HIIT and SBE are equally effective in improving health parameters in obese children and adolescents.

Eating quality of rice attracts more and more attention from rice-eating consumers in the recent years. Thus, improvement of eating quality of cooked rice has become one of the most important breeding goals in japonica rice. Here, the generation of transgenic japonica rice with improved eating quality and grain yield are reported. Overexpression of OsSbe1 gene encoding rice starch branching enzyme 1 was driven by 35S promoter. Eleven independent homozygous $T_3$ transgenic lines were characterized and had shown higher palatability (71.2 ~ 72.6) than wild type Gopum (70.4). Moreover, transgenic rice lines showed an increase in 1000-grain weight and number of spikelets per panicle compared with the wild type. The yield of milled rice was 562.8 ~ 596.7 kg/10a in eight $T_3$ lines, but 542.1 kg/10a in wild type. Gene expression analyses in mRNA transcription and enzyme activity levels suggest that improved eating quality is due to the up-regulation of OsSbe1 gene.

본 논문에서는 조, 기장 및 수수 추출물에 대한 항산화활성 및 인체 전립선암 세포성장 억제효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 조, 기장 및 수수 추출물에 대한 항산화 활성을 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ABTS 라디칼 소거능, 환원력 및 SOD 유사 활성능을 통해 확인한 결과, 수수 추출물에서 농도의존적인 항산화 활성의 증가를 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 조 및 기장 추출물보다 높은 효능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 두 가지의 다른 형태의 인체 전립선 암세포(PC-3 및 LNCaP)를 이용하여 암세포 증식 억제활성을 확인한 결과, 조 추출물과 기장 추출물의 처리는 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서도 큰 억제 효과를 확인할 수 없었으나 LNCaP 세포에 수수 추출물을 처리한 군에서는 $10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서부터 유의적인 세포증식 억제효능을 확인할 수 있었다. PC-3 및 LNCaP 세포의 형태학적 변화를 알아본 결과, 수수 추출물을 처리한 군에서 부유, 사멸 및 증식억제가 관찰되었으나 동일한 농도의 조 및 기장 추출물을 처리한 군에서는 대조군과 유사한 세포형태를 유지하였으며 특이적인 세포독성이 관찰되지 않았다. Hoechst 염색을 통한 핵 형태 관찰에서도 조 및 기장 추출물과는 대조적으로 수수 추출물에서만 apoptotic body, 세포 및 핵의 응축 등 세포 사멸과 관련된 형태학적 변화가 관찰되었다. 조, 기장, 수수 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 2.01, 1.71, 29.10 mg GAE/g로 나타났으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았던 수수에서 항산화 및 항암 효능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 조, 기장 및 수수 추출물 중 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았던 수수에서 항산화 활성 및 인체 전립선 암세포의 성장 억제효과가 뛰어난 것으로 확인되었으며, 이를 통해 수수 추출물을 항산화 및 암세포의 증식억제를 위한 식품원료 및 산업 소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this presentation, we will discuss several recent achievements developed in my laboratory for microarray-based diagnosis of human genetic mutations including HNF-1 and BRCA1 mutations. To determine the presence of the genetic mutations in a human sample, we prepared allele-specific oligonucleotide chips from selected mutation sites and generated target probes using a tow-step method for Cy-3 DNA $samples^{1)}$ or in vitro transcription of promoter-tagged PCR products for Cy-3 RNA $samples^{2)}$. Hybridization of the target probes to the chips successfully identified all of the genotypes for the tested sites. For more reliable diagnosis, we also employed single base extension (SBE) reaction and zip-code microarray technique for our strategy. Particularly we developed an efficient PNA zip-code microarray for the detection of $HNF-1{\alpha}$ $mutations^{3)}$. Using multiplex SBE reactions and zip-code strategy, we were able to correctly diagnose several mutation sites in exon 2 of $HNF-1{\alpha}$ with a wild-type and mutant including a MODY3 patient. These works represent successful applications of DNA microarray technology for the diagnosis of human genetic mutations.
