  • 홍삼으로부터 홍삼알콜 추출물을 제조하고 부산물로 생성된 홍삼추출잔사로부터 한외 여과를 이용하여 홍삼산성다당체(RGAP, red ginseng acidic polysaccharide)를 대량으로 분리할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 본 방법으로 홍삼추출잔사로부터 분리된 RGAP의 수율은 20.9%이었고, RGAP로부터 지표성분인 활성성분(GFP)의 분리수율은 39.4%이었다. 분리된 RGAP는 macrophage에 의한 NO(nitric oxide)를 생성하여 암세포를 사멸시키는 것으로 나타났다. RGAP를 BALB/c 마우스에 복강투여한 후 분리된 복강 macrophage를 P815 암세포(mastocytoma)와 함께 배양하였을 때 배지내의 NO 농도는 대조군에서 4.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$이었으나, RGAP 100, 300 mg/kg 투여군에서는 각각 9.8 및 25.3$\mu\textrm{m}$로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 아울러 암세포인 P8l5세포의 사멸율도 정상대조군일 경우 7.3%이었으나 RGAP 100, 300 mg/kg 투여군에서는 각각 22.7 및 31.8%로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. RGAP을 2M의 TFA로 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 가수분해한 후 당 표준품과 TLC로 비교한 결과 당 표준품과 Rf치 및 발색 색깔이 일치하는 4개의 spot, 즉 rhamnose(Rf 0.78, 노란색 ), glucose(Rf 0.61, 녹색), galactose(Rf 0.56, 녹색), glucuronic acid(Rf 0.36, 황갈색)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 가수분해된 RGAP 분해산물을 Gl(glucose)부터 G7(maltoheptaose)까지의 당류와 함께 TLC를 행한 결과 진한 색상을 나타내는 spot은 Rf 0.56~0.61로 G2(maltose, Rf 0.46) 이상의 단당류(monosaccharide)인 것으로 나타났다. RGAP의 일부 이화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 pH는 4.74, 건조감량은 4.72%, 조단백질 함량은 3.30%, 회분은 4.74%이었고 중금속인 Pb는 2.30 ppm이었다.

  • In this paper, the real scenario of water situation (e.g. water management, water availability and flooding) in an irrigated rice cultivation area in Suphanburi Province, Central-West Thailand is discussed together with the NDVI time series data. The result shown is derived by our classifier named 'Peak Detector Algorithm (PDA)'. The method discriminated 5 classes in terms of irrigation activities and cropping intensities, namely, Non-irrigated, Poorly irrigated - 1 crop/year, Irrigated - 2 crops/year, Irrigated - 3 crops/year and Others (no cultivation happens in a year or other land covers). The overall accuracy of all classified results (1999-2001) is around $77\%$ against independent ground truth data (general activities or function of an area). In the classified results, spatial and temporal inconsistency appeared significantly in the Western and Southern areas of Suphanburi. The inconsistency resulted mainly by anomaly of rainfall pattern in 1999 and their temporal irrigation activity. The algorithm however, was proved that it could detect actual change of irrigation status in a year.

  • Purpose: To classify and describe the characteristic features of MRI of some ameloblastoma variants. Materials and Methods: The MR images, CT images, and panoramic radiographs in 5 cases were retrospectively examined as follows. First, the contents of ameloblastomas were devided into two portions of either solid or cystic components on the basis of MR signal intensities. The signal intensity within the solid or cystic portions was classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Next, the characteristic internal feature of the lesion on T1W1 or T2WI was described. The signal intensities were classified into low, intermediate, slightly high, high, and strong high signal intensity. Results: Unicystic lesion showed homogeneous high signal intensity (SI) on T2W2 and the rim enhancement of the surrounding area including the mural nodule and the thick wall except the central portion on Gd- T1W1. Solid type revealed heterogeneous and high SI area with strong high SI area on T2W2. On Gd- T1W1, the area corresponding to the low signal spot on T1W1 and the strong high signal spot on T2W1 showed low SI. Hybrid type showed slightly enhanced capsular structures and low SI for the round bony septa and the areas connecting the mixed and cystic lesions on T2Wl and Gd-T1W1. Conclusion: MRI could easily assess the relationship between the mixed and cystic findings in ameloblastoma.

  • Abstract White spot disease (WSD), resulting in more than 90% mortality of aquacultured penaeid shrimp, has been reported off the southern and western coasts of Korea since 1993. The pafuogen of WSD has been identified as being a virion wifu an envelope around a central nucleocapsid, and with an average size of 167 nm in diameter and 375 nm in length. In the present study, an in situ hybridization technique was developed as a rapid. sensitive, and specific diagnostic assay for the WSD viros infection in shrimp. Furthermore. the pathological changes ofWSD, in shrimp experimentally infected with WSD viroses. were investigated. Using a biotinylated 643 bp probe obtained from a peR using primers specific to the rod-shaped virus of Penaeus japonicus (RV-PJ), positive signals were detected in both naturally and experimentally infected shrimps. The in situ hybridization revealed positive reactions in the nuclei of the stromal matrix cells in the lymphoid organ, epithelia of the gills, foregut. epidermis, and hematopoietic cells of the interstitial tissues, suggesting the presence of WSD virus. Tills result indicates that the in situ hybridization method can be useful for a rapid and sensitive detection of WSD viruses in shrimp.shrimp.

  • Background: This study was conducted to quantitatively analyze proteins associated with the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that was obtained from a rat model of chronic neuropathic pain following administration of intrathecal $CGRP_{8-37}$. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (100-150 g, 5-6 wks) were divided into two groups, sham controls and neuropathic pain models. At the time of operation for neuropathic pain model, an intrathecal catheter was threaded through the intrathecal space. At 1 or 2 wks after the operation (maximum pain state), a test dose of 1, 5, 10, or 50 nM of $CGRP_{8-37}$ was injected into the intrathecal catheter and the CSF was then aspirated. Conventional proteomics to evaluate the CSF were then performed using high resolution 2-D, gel electrophoresis followed by computational image analysis and protein identification by mass spectrometry. Results: Treatment with $CGRP_{8-37}$ effectively alleviated mechanical allodynia in a dose dependent manner. The most effective response was obtained when a dose of 50 nM was administered, but significant differences were obtained following administration of only 5 nM $CGRP_{8-37}$. Furthermore, the results of the proteomic analysis were consistent with the experimental results. Specially we detected 30 differentially expressed spots in 7 images when 2-D gel electrophoresis was conducted. The intensity of 6 of these spots (spot number: 20 and 26-30) was found decrease the $CGRP_{8-37}$ dose increased; therefore, these spots were evaluated by mass spectrometry. This analysis identified 2 different proteins, CGRP (spot numbers: 26-30) and neurotensin-related peptide (spot number: 20). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that CGRP plays a role in chronic central neuropathic pain and is a major target of chronic neuropathic pain management.

  • 본 논문의 목적은 소련해체 이후 중앙아시아 지역안보환경의 변화 양상과 중앙아시아 지역국가들이 참여하고 있는 다자간 협력기구들의 현황 및 특성을 고찰함으로써 중앙아시아 지역안보체제의 국제정치학적 의미를 규명하고, 중앙아시아 지역안보체제의 구축 전망을 제시하는데 있다. 중앙아시아는 일찍이 '유라시아의 발칸'으로 인식되었듯이 구(舊)체제에서 축적되고 독립 후 새로운 체제로 이행하는 과정에서 발생한 각국 내부의 다양한 갈등 요소들과 상호간 분쟁 요소들, 그리고 강대국들의 전략적 이해관계가 중첩되고 있는 안보불안정 지역이다. 현실의 중앙아시아 지역안보는 미국을 위시한 서방의 이익을 대변하는 나토, OSCE 체제와 러시아를 중심으로 하는 포스트소비에트국가 간의 다자 및 양자협력 체제, 중국, 인도, 터키 등 역외 주요행위자들이 참여하는 다자협력기구들의 활동과 궤를 같이 하고 있다. 그러나 중앙아시아 다자안보협력의 움직임들은 아직까지 어느 것도 범지역적 대표성을 획득하는 단계로까지 발전하지 못하고 있다. 중앙아시아 각국 내부의 문제와 이들 국가 간의 갈등요소를 근본적으로 해결하지 않고서는 이 지역의 안보는 담보될 수 없으며, 편협하고 맹목적인 현실주의는 불안정 지역의 확산을 가져오고 유라시아대륙의 상당부분을 분쟁의 영구적인 근원으로 만들 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 중앙아시아 지역에서 미국, 러시아, 중국, EU 등 주요 행위자들의 전략적 판단과 선택은 재고되어야 할 것이다.

  • White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the major viral pathogens affecting shrimp aquaculture. Four proteins, WSSV199, WSSV 222, WSSV 249 and WSSV 403, from WSSV are predicted to encode a RING-H2 domain, which in presence of ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (E2) in shrimp can function as viral E3 ligase and modulate the host ubiquitin proteasome pathway. Modulation of host ubiquitin proteasome pathway by viral proteins is implicated in viral pathogenesis. In the present study, a time course expression profile analysis of WSSV Open Reading Frame (ORF) 199 and Penaeus monodon ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (PmUbc) was carried out at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post WSSV challenge by semi-quantitative RT-PCR as well as Real Time PCR. EF1${\alpha}$ was used as reference control to normalize the expression levels. A significant increase in PmUbc expression at 24 h post infection (h.p.i) was observed followed by a decline till 72 h.p.i. Expression of WSSV199 was observed at 24 h.p.i in WSSV infected P. monodon. Since the up-regulation of PmUbc was observed at 24 h.p.i where WSSV199 expression was detected, it can be speculated that these proteins might interact with host ubiquitination pathway for viral pathogenesis. However, further studies need to be carried out to unfold the molecular mechanism of interaction between host and virus to devise efficient control strategies for this chaos in the shrimp culture industry.

  • Sharing geo-tagged photos has been a hot social activity in the daily life because these photos not only contain geo information but also indicate people's hobbies, intention and mobility patterns. However, the present raw geo-tagged photo routes cannot provide information as enough as complete GPS trajectories due to the defects hidden in them. This paper mainly aims at analyzing the large amounts of geo-tagged photos and proposing a novel travel route restoring method. In our approach we first propose an Interest Measure Ratio to rank the hot spots based on density-based spatial clustering arithmetic. Then we apply the Hidden Semi-Markov model and Mean Value method to demonstrate migration discipline in the hot spots and restore the significant region sequence into complete GPS trajectory. At the end of the paper, a novel experiment method is designed to demonstrate that the approach is feasible in restoring route, and there is a good performance.
