Recent evidence has strongly suggested that the CAP/TC10 pathway is involved in the trafficking, docking, and fusion of vesicles containing the insulin-responsive glucose transporter Glut4 to the plasma membrane. However, little is known about how the genes employed in the CAP/TC10 pathway are associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we sequenced 4 genes of the CAP/TC10 pathway [SORBS1, CBL, CRK, and RHOQ] in 24 individuals to identify genetic variations in these loci. A total of 48 sequence variants were identified, including 23 novel variations. To investigate the possible association with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms from SORBS1, 3 from CBL, and 4 from RHOQ were genotyped in 1122 Korean type 2 diabetic patients and 1138 nondiabetic controls. Using logistic regression analysis, 1 significant association between SNP rs1376405 in RHOQ and type 2 diabetes mellitus [OR = 8.714 (C.I. 1.714-44.29), p = 0.009] was found in the recessive model. Our data demonstrate a positive association of the RHOQ gene in the CAP/TC10 pathway with T2DM in the Korean population.

There has been no genome-wide association study (GWAS) for macronutrient intake as a quantitative trait. To explore genetic loci associated with total calorie and macronutrient intake, genome-wide association data of autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from Korean adults were analyzed. We conducted a GWAS in 3,690 men and women aged 40 to 60 years from an urban population-based cohort. At the baseline examination (June 18, 2001 through January 29, 2003), DNA samples of the study subjects were collected and analyzed for genotyping. The information of average daily consumption of total calorie, carbohydrate, protein, and fat was obtained from a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and transformed by natural logarithm for analyses after adjustment of calorie intake. Using multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and height, we tested for 352,021 SNPs and found weak associations, which do not reach genome-wide association significance, with calorie and macronutrient intake. However, a number of SNPs were found to have potential associations with macronutrient intake; in particular, signals in SORBS1 and those in PRKCB1 were likely associated with carbohydrate and fat intake, respectively. We observed an inverse association between the minor allele of the SNPs in these genes and the amount of consumption of carbohydrate or fat. Our GWAS identified loci and minor alleles weakly associated with macronutrient intake. Because SORBS1 and PRKCB1 are reportedly associated with the metabolism of glucose and lipid as well as with obesity-related diseases, further investigations on biological and functional roles of polymorphism of these genes in the relation to macronutrient intake are warranted.

The crystal structure of dehydrated fully $Cd^{2+}$-exchanged zeolite A evacuated at $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr and $450^{\circ}C (a = 12.225(2){\AA})$ and of its ethylene sorption complex (a = 12.219(2) ${\AA}$) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}$. The structures were refined to final error indices, $R_1$ = 0.063 and $R_2$ = 0.065 with 266 reflections and $R_1$ = 0.055 and $R_2$ = 0.062 with 260 reflections, respectively, for which $I{\gg}3{\sigma}(I)$. In both structures, six $Cd^{2+}$ ions lie at two distinguished three-fold axes of unit cell. Dehydrated $Cd_6$-A sorbs 4 ethylene molecules per unit cell at $25^{\circ}C$ (vapor pressure of ethylene is ca. 100 Torr). Each $Cd^{2+}$ ion forms a lateral ${pi}$ complex with an ethylene molecule. Four $Cd^{2+}$ ions exist in a nearly tetrahedral environment, 2.210(7)${\AA}$ apart from three framework oxygen ions (considering ethylene molecule as a monodentate ligand) and $2.67(6){\AA}$ from each carbon atom of ethylene molecule.

Two crystal structures of iodine sorption complexes of dehydrated partially Co(Ⅱ )-exchanged zeolite A, $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}xI_2$, x = 2.5 and 5.0, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Both structures were solved and refined in cubic space group, Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C$. The structures of $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}2.5I_2$(a = 12.173(1) ${\AA}$) and $Co_{3.5}Na_5-A{\cdot}5.0I_2$(a = 12.130(1) ${\AA}$) were refined to the final error indices, $R_1$ = 0.081 and $R_2$ = 0.077 with 261 reflections and $R_1$ = 0.103 and $R_2$ = 0.112 with 225 reflections, respectively, for which I>3${\sigma}$(I). In both structures, 3.5 $Co^{2+}$ ions and 4.5 $Na^+$ ions per unit cell lie at two crystallographically different 6-ring positions. 0.5 $Na^+$ ion lines in an 8-oxygen ring plane. Dehydrated $Co_{3.5}Na_5$-A sorbs 2.5 iodine molecules per unit cell at $70^{\circ}C$ (vapor pressure of $I_2$ is ca. 8.3 torr) within 30 minutes and 5 iodine molecules per unit cell at $80^{\circ}C$ (vapor pressure of $I_2$ is ca. 14.3 torr) within 24 hours. Each iodine molecule makes a close approach, along its axis to framework oxygen atom with I-I-O = $175^{\circ}$.

$K_2CO_3$-based dry regenerable sorbents were prepared by spray-drying techniques to improve mass produced $K_2CO_3-Al_2O_3$ sorbents (KEP-CO2P, hereafter), and then tested for their $CO_2$ sorption capacity by a $2,000Nm^3/h$ (0.5 MWe) $CO_2$ capture pilot plant built for Unit 3 of the Hadong thermal power station in 2010. Each of the sample sorbents contained 35 wt.% $K_2CO_3$ as the active materials with various support materials such as $TiO_2$, MgO, Zeolite 13X, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and hydrotalcite (HTC). Their physical properties and reactivity were tested to evaluate their applicability to a fluidized-bed or fast transport-bed $CO_2$ capture process. The $CO_2$ sorption capacity and percentage utilization of $K_2CO_3$-MgO based sorbent, Sorb-KM2, was $8.6g-CO_2/100g$-sorbents and 90%, respectively, along with good mechanical strength for fluidized-bed application. Sorbs-KM2 and KT were almost completely regenerated at $140^{\circ}C$. No degradation of Sorb-KM by $SO_2$ added as a pollutant in flue gas was observed during a cycle test.

합성된 슈베르트마나이트를 대상으로 $AsO_4,\;SeO_3,\;CrO_4$ 세 종류의 산화음이온에 대한 흡착실험 및 흡착된 시료에 대하여 열분석을 실시하였다. 흡착 실험 결과 대체로 두 종류의 흡착 특성을 보이며 $AsO_4$와 $SeO_3$의 경우 약 1 mM의 농도까지 대부분의 용액 내 이온들이 100% 흡착된 것으로 나타났으나 그 이상의 농도에서는 흡착이 더 이상 뚜렷하게 증가되지 않는 것을 보여준다. 이는 기존의 $AsO_4$의 흡착 연구 결과에서처럼 $AsO_4$가 슈베르트마나이트 구조 내의 $SO_4$를 치환하기 때문으로 생각되며 $SeO_3$ 역시 $SO_4$를 1 : 1로 치환하기 때문으로 해석된다. 그러나 $CrO_4$의 경우 전 농도 구간에서 다른 산화음이온에 비하여 흡착이 훨씬 적게 일어났다. 열분석은 0.1 mM과 1.25 mM 농도에서 흡착된 시료에 대하여 각각 실시되었다. $AsO_4$로 흡착된 시료의 경우 $AsO_4$가 $SO_4$를 치환하고 있기 때문에 순수한 슈베르트마나이트에서 특징적으로 나타나는 약 $600^{\circ}C$에서의 질량 감소가 훨씬 적으며 약 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 $AsO_4$의 분해에 의하여 추가적인 질량감소를 보인다. $SeO_3$로 흡착된 시료의 경우 $SO_4$에 비하여 약간 낮은 온도에서 질량감소가 일어나 좀 더 넓은 온도범위에서 질량감소를 보였다. 이 역시 $SeO_3$의 분해가 $SO_4$ 보다 약간 낮은 온도에서 일어나기 때문으로 사료된다. 그러나 $CrO_4$로 흡착된 시료는 $SO_4$에 의한 질량감소가 역시 적게 나타나나 $CrO_4$가 다른 산화음이온과 같이 고온에서 분해되지 않아 추가적인 질량감소를 보이지 않으며 이를 통하여 $CrO_4$ 역시 $SO_4$를 치환하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 흡착실험 결과와 종합하여 볼 때 $CrO_4$ 역시 $SO_4$를 치환하며 흡착을 하나 다른 두 산화음이온에 비하여 $SO_4$와의 친화도, 광물 구조 내의 불안정성 등의 원인에 의하여 완전한 1 : 1 치환이 일어나지 않는 것으로 판단된다.
