  • Serratia marcescen ATCC 25419 protease를 ammonium sulfate treatment, DEAE-cellulose anion exchange chromatography등의 방법으로 정제하였는데 최종 단계에서 667.5 unit/mg 이었으며 회수율은 43%이었고 448배 정제되었다. 정제한 S. marcescens protease로부터 아포효소를 만든 후 금속 재활성화에 대해 조사하였다. S. marcescens protease는 EDTA에 의해 완전히 활성을 잃는 metalloenzyme이며 Hg, Fe, Cu 등에 의해서 효소 활성을 70% 이상 잃은 반면, Co는 효소 활성을 약 20% 정도 증가시켰다. 아포효소의 재활성화는 pH 6~8에서 Mn, Co, Zn 등이 효과적이었다. Mn, Co, Zn등을 아포효소에 가하여 만든 효소들 중에서 Zn-효소는 효소 활성도, 알칼리-불활성화, 열-안정성 면에서 원래 protease와 유사하였다.

  • A new method to calculate the transmittable prevalence of an epidemic disease is proposed based on a back-calculation formula. We calculated the probabilities of reactivation and of parasitemia as well as transmittable prevalence (the number of persons with parasitemia in the incubation period) of malaria in South Korea using incidence of 12 years(2001-2012). For this computation, a new probability function of transmittable condition is obtained. The probability of reactivation is estimated by the least squares method for the back-calculated longterm incubation period. The probability of parasitemia is calculated by a convolution of the survival function of the short-term incubation function and the probability of reactivation. Transmittable prevalence is computed by a convolution of the infected numbers and the probabilities of transmission. Confidence intervals are calculated using the parametric bootstrap method. The method proposed is applicable to other epidemic diseases in other countries where incidence and a long incubation period are available. We found the estimated transmittable prevalence in South Korea was concentrated in the summer with 276 cases on a peak at the $31^{st}$ week and with about a 60% reduction in the peak from the naive prevalence. The statistics of transmittable prevalence can be used for malaria prevention programs and to select blood transfusion donors.

  • Water/cosolvent mixture system에 사용된 활성을 잃은 효소를 증발을 통해 재생하였다. model system으로 HRP를 이용하였을 때, 활성을 잃은 효소를 증발과 희석을 통해 용매를 제거하였을 경우, 두 경우 모두 열역학적으로 동일한 상황임에도 불구하고 증발에 의해 재생된 효소의 활성이 더 높게 나타났으며, 이는 증발이 활성을 잃은 효소의 재생에 어떤 영향을 주는 것으로 여겨진다. 형광분석법을 이용하여 효소의 구조를 간접적으로 분석하였을 때, 증발에 의한 경우가 희석에 의한 경우보다 효소의 구조적 변형이 적었음이 관찰되었다.이러한 결과들을 통해 증발에 의한 재생 효과는 구조적으로 비활성화된 효소의 활성을 일부 되살리는 기능을 하는 것으로 여겨진다. 한편 용매의 증발에 의해 재생된 효소는 초기 효소의, 유기용매 내에서의 상대적 안정성을 유지하였다.

  • Structural inversion refers to the reverse reactivation of extensional faults that influence basin shortening accommodated by contractional faults or folds. On the Korean peninsula, Miocene inversion structures have been found, but the Cretaceous rocks on Geoje Island may have undergone inversion as early as the Upper Cretaceous. To evaluate the structural inversion on Geoje Island, located on the eastern side of South Korea, and to determine the effects of preexisting weakness zones, field-based geometric and kinematic analyses of faults were performed. The lithology of Geoje Island is dominated by hornfelsified shale, siltstone, and sandstone in the Upper-Cretaceous Seongpori formation. NE and NW-oblique normal faults, conjugate strike-slip (NW-sinistral transpressional and E-W-dextral transtensional) faults, and NE-dextral transpressional faults are the most prominent structural features in Geoje Island. Structural inversion on Geoje Island was evidenced by the sinistral and dextral transpressional reactivation of the NW and NE-trending oblique normal faults respectively, under WNW-ESE/NW-SE compression, which was the orientation of the compressive stress during the Late Cretaceous to Early Cenozoic.

  • 본 연구에서는 석탄계 활성탄 신탄과 재생탄들을 이용하여 재생 횟수의 증가가 이들의 세공 구조 변화 및 수중의 유기성 오염물질들의 흡착 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴본 결과, 신탄과 비교하여 1~3차 재생탄들에서 재생회수의 증가에 의해 $15\;{\AA}$ 이하의 미세세공은 감소한 반면 $20{\sim}100\;{\AA}$ 정도의 중간세공은 증가하였다. 재생횟수의 증가할수록 비표면적과 세공용적의 감소가 나타났으며, 세공용적의 감소폭은 신탄에 비해 크지 않았다. 신탄과 1~3차 재생탄들에서의 $CHCl_3$와 DOC에 대한 최대 흡착능(X/M)은 신탄의 경우 $964.6\;{\mu}g/g$ 및 19.5 mg/g인데 반해, 1~3차 재생탄들에는 $255.6{\sim}399.5\;{\mu}g/g$과 18.0~18.7 mg/g이였으며, 1차~3차 재생탄들의 THM 구성종들에 대한 흡착능은 신탄 보다 2~3배 정도 감소하였으나, DOC에 대한 흡착능은 신탄과 거의 동일하였다.

  • Eight structurally different acetylcholinesterase reactivators derived from currently commercially available oximes were tested for their potency to reactivate acetylcholinesterase inhibited by pesticide paraoxon (P) and DFP (D). Housefly AChE (F) and bovine red blood cell AChE (B) were used as the source of the cholinesterases. Ellman's method was taken to examine cholinesterases activity. The results show that four AChE reactivators are potent AChE reactivators, able to reach reactivation potency of more than 30% in all cases - PF, PB, DF and DB. Their reactivation potency was comparable with that of pralidoxime and even higher compared with that of HI-6, standard AChE reactivators currently available on the market.

  • Yangsan fault in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula has been locally reactivated along a prexisted fault during the late Pleistocene time. Geomorphological evidence of the reactivation is revealed at the northern segment(Yugye-ri, Tosung-ri areas) of the Yangsan fault. The reactivation is distinctively characterized by fault gouge and fracture zone with high frequency in the Yugye-ri area. Obique slip separation of the area is about three meters of the middle terrace. The cumulative vertical displacement is recognized after the formation of the middle terrace. Age of the reactivated faulting is constrained to during the formation of dissected valley deposits. Average vertical slip based on paleo-event is inferred to about 0.5-0.7 meter in this area.

  • A parallel reactor system which is consisted of two trickle bed reactors (TBR) was developed for the biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in waste gas stream. The reactor were packed with porous ceramic materials and Burkholderia cepacia G4 was inoculated to form biofilms. Each reactor was operated alternatively in TCE degradation or reactivation mode, and the effect of switching time on TBR performance was investigated. The MO (monooxygenase) activity during the TCE transformation decreased below 10 % within 24 hr, but could be recovered to the initial high level within 10 hr after supplying the reactivation medium supplemented with phenol as a carbon source. This shows that the parallel TBR system has a great potential for the long-term stable treatment of TCE.

  • Inactivation and reactivation of photosynthetic oxygen evolving complex were studied with isolated spinach (Spinacia oleraceda. L.) photosystem II particles by the activity of oxygen evolution and chlorophyll fluorescence. When the particles were treated with Tris and urea, the oxygen evolution was inactivated and three polypeptides having molecular weights of 33 kDa, 24 kDa and 18 kDa were simultaneously released. But in NaCl-treated particles, two polypeptides of 24 kDa and 18 kDa were removed from PS II particles. The oxygen evolution activities of Tris and urea-treated particles were not restored by adding cation ions (Mg2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+), but the NaCl-treated particles were restored by exogenously added Ca2+. The removal of these extrinsic polypeptides, especially 33 kDa, markedly showed the decrease of the variable fluorescence (Fv). These results are likely to be due to dissipate thermal energy by antenna of photosystem II complexes.

  • Herpes zoster (HZ) is a transient disease caused by the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) in spinal or cranial sensory ganglia. It is characterized by a painful rash in the affected dermatome. Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most troublesome side effect associated with HZ. However, PHN is often resistant to current analgesic treatments such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioids, and topical agents including lidocaine patches and capsaicin cream and can persist for several years. The risk factors for reactivation of HZ include advanced age and compromised cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Early diagnosis and treatment with antiviral agents plus intervention treatments is believed to shorten the duration and severity of acute HZ and reduce the risk of PHN. Prophylactic vaccination against VZV can be the best option to prevent or reduce the incidence of HZ and PHN. This review focuses on the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of HZ and PHN, as well as the efficacy of the HZ vaccine.
