Avian-origin H3N2 canine influenza A viruses (CIVs) have become enzootic in China and Korea and have sporadically transmitted to North America, causing multiple epidemics. We isolated six CIVs in Korea from CIV-infected patients during 2014-2017 and conducted whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses. Results revealed that CIVs have circulated and evolved in Korea since the early 2000s and then diversified into a new clade, probably contributing to multiple epidemics in China, the USA, and Canada. Our findings bridge an evolutionary gap for understanding the global transmission of CIVs, emphasizing the significance of continuous monitoring of CIVs.

Previous studies have shown that glucocorticoid suppresses microsomal epoxide hydrolase(EH) gene expression and that EH expression is altered during pregnancy. The effects of progesterone on the expression of rat EH and certain glutathione S-transferase(GST) genes were examined in this study. Northern RNA blot analysis revealed that progesterone was effective in increasing hepatic EH mRNA levels at 12 h to 48 h after treatment with a maximal 9-fold increase being noted at 12 h time point. Nonetheless, multiple daily treatment with progesterone rather caused minimal relative increases in EH mRNA levels. GST Ya and Yb1/2 mRNA levels were also transiently elevated at 12 h after progesterone treatment, followed by gradual decreases from the maximal Increases at day 1, 2 and 5 post-treatment. These changes in EH and GST mRNA levels were noted only at a relatively high dose of progesterone. Furthermore, immunoblot analyses showed that rats treated with progesterone for 5 days failed to show EH or GST induction, indicating that progesterone-induced alterations in EH and GST mRNA levels do not reflect bona fide induction of the detoxifying enzymes. Concomitant progesterone treatment of rats with the known EH inducers including ketoconazole and clotrimazole failed to additively nor antagonistically alter EH mRNA levels. In contrast, dexamethasone substantially reduced ketoconazole- or clotrimazole-inducible EH expression. These results showed that progesterone stimulates the EH, GST Ya and Yb1/2 gene expression at early times followed by marked reduction in the RNA levels from the maximum after multiple treatment and that the changes in mRNA do not necessarily reflect induction of the proteins.

Crystals of salicylaldehyde-4-morpholinothiosemicarbazone, $C_{12}H_{15}O_2N_3S$, are orthorhombic with space group Pna21. Unit-cell dimensions are a = 11.85(5), b = 15.45(5) c = 7.18(3)${\AA}$ with z = 4. Three-dimensional intensity data were collected from the multiple-film equi-inclination Weissenberg photographs taken with $CuK{\alpha}$ radiation. The intensities were estimated visually. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by the block-diagonal least-squares methods until the final R value becomes 0.11 for the 1064 observed independent reflections. The morpholine ring has a chair form. The rest atoms of salicylaldehyde-4-morpholinothiosemicarbazone molecule excluding morpholine ring and sulfur atom approximately lie on a plane. The hydroxyl group of the salicylaldehyde and the nitrogen atom of the thiosemicarbazone form an intramolecular hydrogen bond, $O-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}N$, of 2.67${\AA}$. The short intermolecular distances all appear to be normal van der Waals contacts.

This study was conducted to designing conserved regions of molecules for virus-derived resistance to transgenic Phlaenopsis orchids to protect against two major orchid viruses, Cymbidum mosaic virus (CymMV) and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV). Infected leaf samples of Phalaenopsis were randomly screened by the RT-PCR with specific primers to both of viruses. RT-PCR products of the viruses were cloned and their nucleotide sequences were determined. Multiple alignments of coat protein (CP) genes of the viruses revealed that over the 88 ％ and 94 ％ identities with CymMV and ORSV, respectively, were observed. These data can be useful for selection of highly conserved regions of CP gene of the viruses for transgenic orchid experiments.

Numerical optimization of rotor blade airfoils is performed with a response surface method for helicopter rotor. For the baseline airfoils, OA 312, OA 309, and OA 407 airfoils are selected and optimized to improve aerodynamic performance. Aerodynamic coefficients required for the response surface method are obtained by using Navier-Stokes solver with k-$\omega$ Shear Stress Transport turbulence model. An optimized airfoil has increased drag divergence Mach number. The present design optimization method can generate an optimized airfoil with multiple design constraints, whenever it is designed from different baseline airfoils at the same design condition.

The heat treatment performed during the welding of the structure should adjust the temperature of the structure in several steps in order to further improve the welding performance. This paper proposes a technique to control multiple SCR power converters to control the temperature of each ceramic heater at various stages according to a specified time.
