DNA subfragments, sopA, sopB, and sopC supporting stable maintenance of an oriC plasmid, were derived from mini-F plasmid DNA (EcoRI restriction fragment, f5) after digestion with restriction endonucleases, and cloned in vector plasmid pBR322. The recombinant plasmid obtained were introduced into E. coli KY7231 and E. coli CSR603, and proteins specified by the mini-F fragments were analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two proteins encoded by the F fragments were detected, having molecular weights of 41,000 and 37.000. The sopA protein (41K) encoded by a plasmid pXX288 was observed in the cytoplasm, whereas the sopB protein (37K) encoded by a plasmid pXX157 was in the membrane fraction. There was no novel protein band detected in the cell with a plasmid pXX300, which contained sopC fragment. Gene products of a plasmid pXX167, which is comprised of sopA, sopB, and sopC, were not detectable. Fluorography after one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis of the lysates showed that these two proteins were overproduced in the cells which were allowed to incorporate radioactive amino acid after plasmid amplification by chloramphenicol treatment. The isoelectric points of the sopA and sepB proteins were 6.6 and 7.0, respectively.

Invasion process of bacterial cell into intestinal epithelium is important in Salmonella infection. The invasion is induced by the proteins secreted by type III secretion appratus of Salmonella. It has been known that the proteins do not have N-terminal signal peptide existing in general secreted proteins. Recent studies on Yersinia reported that secretion signal of type III appratus may lie on 5'end secondary structure of mRNA of secreted protein. In this study, we constructed translational fusion of ompR and sopE, encoding type III secretion protein of Salmonella, and observed secretion of the fusion protein for investigating the secretion signal of Salmonella type III appratus. The sopE DNA fragments of the translational fusion contain the region of promoter and from start code to tenth or to fifth code. These translational fusions indicate that type III secretion signal of Salmonella is located on 5'end of mRNA encoding secreted protein. We constructed prototype of secretion vector using this signal to produce useful foreign protein.

MRSA, erythromycin-resistant S. pyogenes, penicillin non-susceptible pneumococci, PPNG, ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, class C ${\beta}$-lactamase-producing E. coli, fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli, aminoglycoside-resistant A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa are all prevalent in Korea, which suggest the presence of high levels of antimicrobial selective pressure and nosocomial spread of resistant bacteria. Rapid increase of VRE and emergence of fluoroquinolone-resistant gonococci and VIM-2 metallo-${\beta}$-lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa are recently observed new threats in Korea.

We planned to study how the chemical disposal designed by SOP can affect on physicochemical compositions of the livestock excrement. According to Livestock Manure Management Scheme, we experimented in two steps; the first step, NaOH treatment-Citric acid neutralization, and then the second procedure, Thermophilic Aerobic Oxidation (TAO) system. Physicochemical compositions of the 3-days-old samples after NaOH treatment were pH 10.31, EC 24.54 mS/cm, SCOD 3,022 mg/L, T-N 4,315 mg/L, $NH{_4}^+-N$ 1,960 mg/L, and not detected E. coli.. And those of one-day-old samples after citric acid neutralization were pH 7.36, EC 32.89 mS/cm, $SCOD_{Mn}$ 12,733 mg/L, T-N 4,787 mg/L, $NH{_4}^+-N$ 2,450 mg/L, and E. coli. not detected. In contrast, the physicochemical compositions of the treatment plots after the second treatment with TAO system (72hr) were pH 9.42 EC 24.21 mS/cm, $SCOD_{Mn}$ 3,660 mg/L, T-N 3,616 mg/L, $NH{_4}^+-N$ 1,190 mg/L, and no detection of E. coli.

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.

In this paper, we proposed a new customized e-Ring(Enterprise Ring Back Tone) system which could be represented each user and organization feature. The e-Ring system provided the ring back tone and additional services to reduce the waiting time when the client called an organization. This system was for an appropriate organization public relations instead of the meaningless ring back tone which was used usual call, also was maximized the service availability and work efficiency which was obtained from the automatic response and service suppling to users who had needs and questions.

Vibrio vulnificus septicemia is nor-rare diease in Korea. Carriage rate of the orgaism by shellfish is not well known. In this study performance of SPS agar and SGP broth and effect of storage of specimen in the isolaton was determined using the shellfish specimens collected from the coast and market of Koonsan city. Isolation rate was similar with TCBS and with SPS, but the rate became much highher after enrichment in SGP broth. 80% of oyster speimes were positve when inoculated immediately, but the rate dropped rapidly after storage of specimens at freezing temperature for sometime. All of the isolates fermented lactose in 2 days. A few isolates were not identfiable with API 20E system, because of acid prduction from melibiose. Serover 04 was the frequent isolates.

Temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric and electrical properties was investigated in cerium and manganese doped Sr$\_$0.6/Ba$\_$0.4/Nb$_2$O$\_$6/(60SBN) ceramic system. Structural deformation of 60SBN by dopants did not appeared. 1350$^{\circ}C$-10 h sintered specimen had higher densification than 1250$^{\circ}C$-10 h sintered one, to which dielectric properties are related. That the feature of dielectric maxima peaks was typical Diffusive Phase Transition (DPT), it was explained by "random-field Ising model". Even though 60SBN has large dielectric loss at high frequency above 100 ㎑, it is desirable for optical applications because of low dielectric loss at low frequency. From Arrhenius plot of temperature, the activation energy was calculated to 0.45-0.49 eV.

Restorative effect of forest settings is an emerging issue in the field of forestry. It is also the central question facing those currently engaged in the psychotherapeutic interventions is which treatments work. This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of forest experience on alcoholics' depression. Among 531 participants in forest healing camps, 47 alcoholics who participated all three sessions of the camps were selected for this study. Using pre-test and post-test group design with Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), mean changes in alcoholics' depression by completion of the camp was measured. The result of this study indicated that the 3-session of forest camp played significant role in reducing participants depression levels (i.e., positive changes in depression scores).
