A novel serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif, which belongs to PPEF family was partially cloned from rat brain cDNA by employing RT-PCR method. The size of the amplified clone was 1.6kbp. The amplified DNA was subcloned into pGEM-T-Easy vector and the resulting plasmid was maned as pGEM-rPPEF2. The nucleuotide sequence is shared by 88% with that of mouse PPEF-2 cDNA, and the deduced amino acid sequence reveal 92% homology with that of mouse PPEF-2 cDNA. The N-terminal region of the cloned rat brain PPEF contains a putative phosphatase catalytic domain (PP domain) and the C-terminal region contains multiple $Ca^{2+}$ binding sites (EF region). The putative catalytic domin (PP) and the EF-hand motif (EF) regions were subcloned into pGEX4T-1 and were overexpressed in E. coli DH5 as glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. Expression of the desired fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and also by immunoblot analysis using monoclonal antibody against GST. The recombinant proteins were purified by glutathione-agarose chromatography. This report is first to demonstrate the cloning of PPEF family from rat brain tissues. The clone reported here would be invaluable for the investigation of the role of this new type-phosphatase in rat brain.

Our previous study showed the intensity of the long LBH (1600 - 1715 ${\AA}$) was enhanced very much compared to that of the short LBH (1400 - 1500 ${\AA}$) when the characteristic energy of the precipitating electrons increased from 1 keV to > 7 keV, in accordance with the theoretical models. In this presentation, we would like to present the results of our study for new modeling results about previous report and even higher energy electrons. We selected the events in which the fluxes both in the low energy (100 eV ~ 20 keV) and in the high energy (170 ~ 360 keV) were enhanced, and examined the auroral spectra for these events observed simultaneously by the imaging spectrograph on the same spacecraft. While the accurate characteristic energy could not be determined because of the gap in the energy range, our result showed the intensity ratio of the long LBH to the short LBH ranged from 1.2 to 2.0 in these events, in contrast to 1.0 or smaller for the events in which the highest enhancement was seen only in the low energy. Our study suggests that intense auroras might be accompanied by high energy electrons above 20 keV.

최근 AV 벤더들의 악성코드 동향 보고서에 따르면 신종, 변종 악성코드의 출현 개수가 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 분석 속도가 떨어지는 수동적 분석방법을 대체하고자 기계학습을 적용하는 악성코드 분석 연구가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 지도학습기반의 기계학습을 이용할 때 많은 연구에서 AV 벤더가 제공하는 신뢰성이 낮은 악성코드 패밀리명을 레이블로 사용하고 있다. 이와 같이 악성코드 레이블의 낮은 신뢰성 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 새로운 레이블링 기법인 "Unified Labeling"을 소개하고 나아가 Fine-grained 방식의 특징 분석을 통해 악성 행위 유사성을 검증한다. 본 연구의 검증을 위해 다양한 기반의 클러스터링 알고리즘을 이용하여 기존의 레이블링 기법과 비교하였다.

최근 실험실에서 사용하는 시약장은 IoT 기반 다양한 센서들을 활용하여 내부 환경을 실시간으로 측정하고 사용자들에게 서비스를 제공한다. 센서 데이터를 수집한 후 서버 내에서 위험상황을 식별하고 기기들에게 동작 명령을 전송하게 된다. 이와 같은 중앙 집중형 관리시스템은 여러 대의 시약장에서 측정되는 센서 데이터들을 전송받고 처리하게 될 경우 시약장의 수가 증가할 때마다 데이터 처리 속도가 점차 증가하게 되는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 중앙 집중형이 아닌 분산 환경에서 시약장 내부 환경을 분석하여 위험상황의 식별 및 기기 제어를 수행할 수 있는 분산 제어가 가능한 분산 IoT 센서 기반 실험실 안전관리 시스템에 대해 연구한다. 이와 같이 분산형 제어가 가능한 센서 모듈을 이용한 시약장 내부 환경 제어 통해 위험상황에 대한 식별 및 대처를 자동으로 진행함으로써 기존의 시약장과 실험실을 관리하는 시스템들보다 신속한 대처 및 안전관리가 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.

This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the difference of the therapeutic effi cacy and adverse effects of leukotriene receptor antagonist and theophylline added to inhaled corticosteroids in adult asthma. Databases were searched for studies published through Nov, 2010. Randomized-controlled trials containing inhaled corticosteroids plus leukotriene receptor antagonist and inhaled corticosteroids plus sustained-release theophylline for asthma therapy were selected. For each report, data were extracted to the outcomes analyzed: mean change in morning peak expiratory flow, mean change in evening peak expiratory flow, mean change in morning forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, mean change in daily short bete2-agonist use, asthma exacerbation and adverse effects. Four assessable trials including 182 asthmatic patients were identified. Inhaled corticosteroids plus leukotriene receptor antagonist was superior to inhaled corticosteroids plus theophylline therapy in improving morning peak expiratory flow in asthmatics (mean difference 19.08 [95% confidence interval 13.37-23.79] l/min, p<0.001) and morning forced expiratory volume in 1 sec in asthmatics (mean difference 0.09 [95% confidence interval 0.03-0.14] liter, p=0.001). In evening peak expiratory flow, daily short bete2-agonist use, asthma exacerbation and adverse effects, there was no significant difference between these two therapies (All p>0.05). Our meta-analysis showed that the combination of inhaled corticosteroids plus leukotriene receptor antagonist resulted in more improvement in both peak expiratory flow and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec in the morning than inhaled corticosteroids plus sustained-release theophylline in adult asthmatics. Further trials are necessary to evaluate the dominant effects of the former combination.

Pythium porphyrae is responsible for devastating outbreaks in seaweed farms of Pyropia, the most valuable cultivated seaweed worldwide. While the genus Pythium contains many well studied pathogens, the genome of P. porphyrae has yet to be sequenced. Here we report the first available gene repertoire of P. porphyrae and a preliminary analysis of pathogenicity-related genes. Using ab initio detection strategies, similarity based and manual annotation, we found that the P. porphyrae gene repertoire is similar to classical phytopathogenic Pythium species. This includes the absence of expanded RxLR effector family and the detection of classical pathogenicity-related genes like crinklers, glycoside hydrolases, cellulose-binding elicitor lectin-like proteins and elicitins. We additionally compared this dataset to the proteomes of 8 selected Pythium species. While 34% of the predicted proteome appeared specific to P. porphyrae, we could not attribute specific enzymes to the degradation of red algal biomass. Conversely, we detected several cellulases and a cutinase conserved with plant-pathogenic Pythium species. Together with the recent report of P. porphyrae triggering disease symptoms on several plant species in lab-controlled conditions, our findings add weight to the hypothesis that P. porphyrae is a reformed plant pathogen.

Background: Errors in surgical pathology diagnosis can have serious consequences for the patient. Since the final product of a surgical pathology lab is the report, errors can be picked by reviewing reports of cases. Aim: To determine the frequency and types of error in surgical pathology reports of cases signed out in 2014 in a laboratory in Karachi, Pakistan. Materials and Methods: All surgical pathology reports in which changes were made in the original report after sign out and an amended report was issued were included. Errors included: (1) misinterpretations; (2) missing critical information; (3) erroneous critical information; (4) misidentification; and (5) typographic errors. Results: Errors were identified in 210 cases (0.37%). These comprised 199 formalin fixed specimens and 11 frozen sections. The latter represented 3.8% of a total of 2,170 frozen sections. Of the 11 frozen section errors, 10 were misinterpretations. Of the 199 permanent specimens, 99 (49.7%) were misinterpretations, 65 (32.7%) belonged to missing critical information category, 8 (4%) belonged to erroneous critical information category, 8(4%) were misidentifications, 16(8%) were typographic errors while 3 cases (1.5%) were other errors. Most misinterpretations occurred in the gastro intestinal, liver and pancreato biliary tract (23.2%) and breast (13.1%). Another 87 cases were reviewed on the clinicians' request. However diagnosis after review remained the same as the original diagnosis. In 49 out of these (56.3%), additional workup was performed at the time of the review. Conclusions: Our findings were similar to other published studies. We need to develop documented procedures for timely review of cases to detect errors.
