To detect the virulence genes (invA and spvC) and antimicrobial resistance genes, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out using total 67 strains of S. Schwarzengrund isolated from pigs. As results, invA was detected from all 67 strains of S. Schwarzengrund, however, spvC was not at all. All 12 strains with ampicillin resistance, 15 strains with chloramphenicol resistance, 9 strains with kanamycin resistance, 1 strain with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim resistance, and 66 (98.5%) of 67 strains with tetracycline resistance carried TEM (${\beta}$-lactamase $bla_{TEM}$), cmlA (nonenzymatic chloramphenicol resistance), aphA1-Iab (aminoglycoside phosphotransferase), sulII (dihydropteroate synthase), and tetA (class A tetracycline resistance), respectively. All 63 strains with streptomycin resistance carried 3 aminoglycoside resistance genes, including aadA (aminoglycoside adenyltransferase), strA, and strB (streptomycin phosphotransferase). With respect to prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes occurred in S. Schwarzengrund, genes for strB (46.0%); strA and strB (30.2%); aadA, strA, and strB (9.5%); strA (7.9%); aadA and strB (3.2%); and aadA (3.2%) were detected by PCR.

이중차분간섭기법(Double-Differential Interferometric SAR; DDInSAR)을 이용하여 빙하의 조위반응을 정확히 해석하기 위해서는 극지 해양에 대한 조위모델의 정밀도 평가가 수행되어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 동남극 테라노바 만에서 TPXO7.1, FES2004, CATS2008a, Ross_Inv 조위모델의 정밀도를 평가하기 위해 2년 동안 획득된 16쌍의 one-day tandem COSMO-SkyMed SAR 간섭영상으로부터 생성한 120개의 DDInSAR 영상과 수압식 파고계로 11일 동안 실측한 조위를 이용하였다. 먼저, DDInSAR 영상과 조위모델로 추출된 조위의 이중차분값(${\Delta}\dot{T}$)을 비교하였으며, 실측조위와 조위모델의 조위(T), 그리고 실측조위와 조위모델 조위의 24시간 차분값($\dot{T}$)을 비교하였다. ${\Delta}\dot{T}$와 T, $\dot{T}$의 평균제곱근오차(root mean square error; RMSE)는 조위모델의 역기압 효과(inverse barometer effect; IBE) 보정 후에 감소하였고, 이로부터 조위모델의 IBE는 필수적으로 보정되어야 함이 확인되었다. $\dot{T}$와 ${\Delta}\dot{T}$는 T보다 작은 RMSE를 보였다. 이는 SAR 간섭쌍의 시간차(24시간) 동안의 차분값인 에 조위모델과 실측조위의 평균해수면 오차와 조위모델이 사용하는 조화상수 중 $S_2$, $K_2$, $K_1$, $P_1$의 오차가 상쇄되기 때문이다. 따라서 IBE가 보정된 조위모델의 $\dot{T}$와 ${\Delta}\dot{T}$가 DDInSAR 기법에 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 단기간 실측된 조위로는 최적의 조위모델 선정에 어려움이 있었으나, DDInSAR를 이용한 정밀도 평가에 의하면 Ross_Inv가 4.1 cm의 RMSE를 보여 테라노바 만의 DDInSAR에 가장 적합한 조위모델로 확인되었다.

Paracentric inversion of chromosome 18 is a rare cytogenetic abnormality. The vast majority of paracentric inversions are harmless and the offspring of paracentric inversion carriers have only slightly elevated risks for unbalanced karyotypes. However, various clinical phenotypes are seen due to breakpoint variation or recombination. We report a prenatally detected case of familial paracentric inversion of chromosome 18, inv(18)(q21.1q22), with normal clinical features.

Abstract Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) gene expression is regulated by many environmental signals such as oxygen, osmolarity, and pH. Here, we examined changes in the expression level of various regulatory proteins encoded within SPI1 in response to three different concentrations of NaCl, using primer extension analysis. Transcription of all the regulatory genes tested was activated most when Salmonella were grown in Luria Broth (LB) containing 0.17 M NaCl. The expression of hilA, invF, and hilD was decreased in the presence of 0.47 M NaCl or in the absence of NaCl, while hilC expression was almost constant regardless of the NaCl concentration when Salmonella were grown to exponential phase under low-oxygen condition. The reduced expression of hilA, invF, and hilD resulted in lower invasion of hilC mutant to the cultured animal cells when the mutant was grown in the presence of 0.47 M NaCl or in the absence of NaCl prior to infection. Among the proteins secreted via the SPI1-type III secretion system (TTSS), the level of sopE2 expression was not influenced by medium osmolarity. Various effects of osmolarity on virulence gene regulation observed in this study is one example of multiple regulatory pathways used by Salmonella to cause infection.

The aim of this study was to applicate and evaluate a SYBR Green real-time PCR for the specific detection of Salmonella spp. Specificity of the PCR method was confirmed with 48 Salmonella spp. and 5 non-Salmonella strains using invA gene primer. The average threshold cycle ($C_T$) of Salmonella spp. was $11.83{\pm}0.78$ while non-Salmonella spp. was $30.86{\pm}1.19$. Correlation coefficients of standard curves constructed using $C_T$ versus copy number of Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076 showed good linearity ($R^2=0.993$; slope = 3.563). Minimum level of detection with the method was > $10^2$ colony forming units (CFU)/mL. These results suggested that the SYBR Green real-time PCR might be applicable for the specific detection of Salmonella spp. isolates.

Distribution of Salmonella enterica serovars and their associated virulence determinants is wide-spread among food animals, which are continuously implicated in periodic salmonellosis outbreaks globally. The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate the diversity of five Salmonella serovar virulence genes (invA, pefA, cdtB, spvC and iroN) isolated from food animals and humans. Using standard microbiological techniques, Salmonella spp. were isolated from the feces of humans and three major food animals. Virulence determinants of the isolates were assayed using PCR. Clonal relatedness of the dominant serovar was determined via pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using the restriction enzyme, Xbal. Seventy one Salmonella spp. were isolated and serotyped into 44 serovars. Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS; 68) accounted for majority (95.8%) of the Salmonella serovars. Isolates from chicken (34) accounted for 47.9% of all isolates, out of which S. Budapest (14) was predominant (34.8%). However, the dominant S. Budapest serovars showed no genetic relatedness. The invA gene located on SPI-1 was detected in all isolates. Furthermore, 94% of the isolates from sheep harbored the spvC genes. The iroN gene was present in 50%, 100%, 88%, and 91% of isolates from human, chicken, sheep, and cattle, respectively. The pefA gene was detected in 18 isolates from chicken and a single isolate from sheep. Notably, having diverse Salmonella serovars containing plasmid encoded virulence genes circulating the food chain is of public health significance; hence, surveillance is required.

본 논문에서는 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)로 채택된 Rijndael 알고리즘을 구현한 암호 프로세서를 설계하였다. 암호화와 복호화를 모두 수행할 수 있으며, 128비트의 블록과 128비트의 키 길이를 지원한다. 성능과 면적 측면을 모두 고려하여 가장 효율적인 구조로 한 라운드를 구현한 후, 라운드 수만큼 반복하여 암복호화를 수행하도록 하였다. 대부분의 다른 블록 암호 알고리즘과 달리 암복호화 시 구조가 다른 Rijndael의 특성으로 인한 면적의 증가를 최소화하기 위해 ByteSub와 InvByteSub은 알고리즘을 기반으로 구현함으로써 메모리로만 구현하는 방법에 비해 비슷한 성능을 가지면서 필요한 메모리 양은 1/2로 줄였다. 이와 같이 구현한 결과, 본 논문의 Rijndael 암호 프로세서는 0.5um CMOS 공정에서 약 15,000개의 게이트, 32K-bit ROM과 1408-bit RAM으로 구성된다. 그리고 한 라운드를 한 클럭에 수행하여 암복호화 하는데 블럭 당 총 11클럭이 걸리고, 110MHz의 동작 주파수에서 1.28Gbps의 성능을 가진다. 이는 현재 발표된 논문들과 비슷한 성능을 가지면서 면적의 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 메모리 양은 절반 이상 감소하여 지금까지 발표된 논문 중 가장 우수한 면적 대 성능 비를 가지는 것으로 판단된다.

터널링 전계효과 트랜지스터(tunneling field-effect transistor; TFET)로 적층된 3차원 적층형 집적회로(monolithic 3D integrated-circuit; M3DIC)에 대한 연구 결과를 소개한다. TFET는 MOSFET(metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor)와 달리 소스와 드레인이 비대칭 구조이므로 대칭구조인 MOSFET의 레이아웃과 다르게 설계된다. 비대칭 구조로 인해서 다양한 인버터 구조 및 레이아웃이 가능하고, 그 중에서 최소 금속선 레이어를 가지는 단순한 인버터 구조를 제안한다. 비대칭 구조의 TFET를 순차적으로 적층한 논리 게이트인 NAND 게이트, NOR 게이트 등의 M3DIC의 구조와 레이아웃을 제안된 인버터 구조를 바탕으로 제안한다. 소자와 회로 시뮬레이터를 이용해서 제안된 M3D 논리게이트의 전압전달특성 결과를 조사하고 각 논리 게이트의 동작을 검증한다. M3D 논리 게이트 별 셀 면적은 2차원 평면의 논리게이트에 비해서 약 50% 감소된다.

Background: The current conventional serotyping based on antigen-antisera agglutination could not provide a better understanding of the potential pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Brancaster. Surveillance data from Malaysian poultry farms indicated an increase in its presence over the years. Objective: This study aims to investigate the virulence determinants and antimicrobial resistance in S. Brancaster isolated from chickens in Malaysia. Methods: One hundred strains of archived S. Brancaster isolated from chicken cloacal swabs and raw chicken meat from 2017 to 2022 were studied. Two sets of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted to identify eight virulence genes associated with pathogenicity in Salmonella (invasion protein gene [invA], Salmonella invasion protein gene [sipB], Salmonella-induced filament gene [sifA], cytolethal-distending toxin B gene [cdtB], Salmonella iron transporter gene [sitC], Salmonella pathogenicity islands gene [spiA], Salmonella plasmid virulence gene [spvB], and inositol phosphate phosphatase gene [sopB]). Antimicrobial susceptibility assessment was conducted by disc diffusion method on nine selected antibiotics for the S. Brancaster isolates. S. Brancaster, with the phenotypic ACSSuT-resistance pattern (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphonamides, and tetracycline), was subjected to PCR to detect the corresponding resistance gene(s). Results: Virulence genes detected in S. Brancaster in this study were invA, sitC, spiA, sipB, sopB, sifA, cdtB, and spvB. A total of 36 antibiogram patterns of S. Brancaster with a high level of multidrug resistance were observed, with ampicillin exhibiting the highest resistance. Over a third of the isolates displayed ACSSuT-resistance, and seven resistance genes (β-lactamase temoneira [bla_TEM], florfenicol/chloramphenicol resistance gene [floR], streptomycin resistance gene [strA], aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase gene [ant(3")-Ia], sulfonamides resistance gene [sul-1, sul-2], and tetracycline resistance gene [tetA]) were detected. Conclusion: Multidrug-resistant S. Brancaster from chickens harbored an array of virulence-associated genes similar to other clinically significant and invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars, placing it as another significant foodborne zoonosis.

Salmonella spp. are pathogens involved in most salmonellosis in rabbits. This study examined Salmonella disease in rabbits raised in Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam. Two hundred and 56 rectal swabs of rabbits were taken, and a carrier rate of 33.98% was found. In addition, all the isolated Salmonella spp. strains were 100% motile; positive for H₂S, catalase, Voges Proskauer, coagulase, citrate, maltose, and dextrose; and negative for indole, methyl red, urease, oxidase, sucrose, and lactose. The Kirby-Bauer method showed that these Salmonella strains were susceptible to doxycycline (93.2%), tetracycline (84.1%), and levofloxacin (65.9%). On the other hand, they were highly resistant to streptomycin (95.5%), ampicillin (93.2%), colistin (40.9%), and gentamicin (34.1%). Furthermore, polymerase chain reaction used to screen for virulence and specific genes of Salmonella strains showed that all Salmonella strains isolated carried InvA, fimA, and Stn.
