Anti-cancer drug resistance is a major problem in colorectal cancer (CRC) research. Although several studies have revealed the mechanism of cancer drug resistance, molecular targets for chemotherapeutic combinations remain elusive. To address this issue, we focused on the expression of cellular prion protein ($PrP^C$) in 5-FU-resistant CRC cells. In 5-FU-resistant CRC cells, $PrP^C$ expression is significantly increased, compared with that in normal CRC cells. In the presence of 5-FU, $PrP^C$ increased CRC cell survival and proliferation by maintaining the activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and the expression of cell cycle-associated proteins, including cyclin E, CDK2, cyclin D1, and CDK4. In addition, $PrP^C$ inhibited the activation of the stress-associated proteins p38, JNK, and p53. Moreover, after treatment of 5-FU-resistant CRC cells with 5-FU, silencing of $PrP^C$ triggered apoptosis via the activation of caspase-3. These results indicate that $PrP^C$ plays a key role in CRC drug resistance. The novel strategy of combining chemotherapy with $PrP^C$ targeting may yield efficacious treatments of colorectal cancer.

The effect of $Y^{3+}$ addition to $SrTiO_3:Pr^{3+}$ on the photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence was studied. We discovered that light emitting levels of $Pr^{3+}$ vary by addition of $Y^{3+}$. In $(Sr_{1-x}Y_x)TiO_3:Pr^{3+}$, both the green and red emission are discovered while the red emission prevails in $Sr(Ti_{1-x}Y_x)O_3:Pr^{3+}$ . $Sr(Ti_{1-x}Y_x)O_3:Pr^{3+}$ shows enhancement of red emission by two kinds of enhancement process.

본 연구는 편백 피톤치드에 의해 사멸되지 않는 구강상주균을 분리하고, 이 분리된 세균이 구강 병인균에 대하여 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 관찰함으로써 편백 피톤치드에 구강 내 세균에 대한 지속적인 이차적 효과를 구명한 실험적 연구이다. 이에 정상인 타액 내의 구강상주균에 1%의 편백 피톤치드를 첨가하여 사멸되지 않고 생존한 200개의 잔존 세균을 뷴리하고 이들이 치주질환과 구취의 중요한 원인균인 Pr. intermedia에 대한 억제효과를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 선택된 200개의 잔존 세균 중, 148개(74.0%)가 Pr. intermedia를 억제하였다. 2. 선택한 200개의 잔존 세균은 Streptococcus salivarius가 109개(54.5%)로 가장 많이 나타났고, Streptococcus sanguinis가 25개(12.5%), Streptococcus mitis가 15개(7.5%)로 나타났다. 3. Pr. intermedia를 억제하는 148개의 잔존 세균 중, Streptococcus salivarius가 85.3%(93/109), Streptococcus sanguinis가 64.0%.(16/25), Streptococcus mitis가 54.3%(8/15), Streptococcus parasanguinis가 66.7%(6/9), Streptococcus alactolyticus가 100%(8/8)로 나타났다. 따라서 타액 내에서 편백 피톤치드에 저항하는 구강 상주균은 Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mitis 등으로 나타났으며, 이는 치주질환을 일으키고 구취를 발생시키는 대표적 균주인 Pr. intermedia 에 대하여 세균 억제효과를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 피톤치드는 구강 내 유해균을 억제할 수 있고, 잔존하는 구강 상주균과 함께 구강 내 유해균을 억제함으로써 지속적이고 이차적인 효과를 나타냄으로써 치주질환과 구취발생을 예방할 수 있어, 구강 환경 개선을 위한 임상적 근거가 마련될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

정책고객서비스(Policy Customer Relationship Management: PCRM)는 공공부문의 고객관계관리(Public CRM)를 말한다. 그러나 현재 정부 37개 부 처 청 공무원들은 공공고객관계관리(Public CRM)를 단순히 정책고객 DB 리스트와 컴퓨터 프로그램을 활용한 여론조사 도구 정도로만 활용하고 있는 실정이다. 연구결과, 공무원과 일반국민이 함께 PCRM을 정책고객서비스를 포함하는 공공고객관계관리라는 포괄적인 개념으로 공감하고, PCRM 활용이 공공부문 홍보에 필수불가결한 요소로 강제했을 때, PCRM PR 활성화 가능성이 높아질 수 있는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 다양하고 구체적인 PCRM PR 활용 전략 및 방안을 제안한다.

Research was initiated to investigate turf performance under USGA soil system. USGA system 45 centimeters deep was built with rootzone layer, intermediate layer, and drainage layer. Six turfgrass entries were comprised of 3 blends and 3 mixtures from cool-season grasses (CSG). Turfgrass color and quality ratings were best in spring and fall, especially early May to early July and late August to early November. Kentucky bluegrass (KB) consistently produced the greatest performance, while perennial ryegrass (PR) the poorest. Intermediate turf performance between KB and PR was observed with tall fescue (TF). Among CSG mixtures it increased with KB but decreased with PR. There were considerable variations in summer turf Performance. No summer drought injury was found in KB and TF. However, PR showed poor performance through summer as compared with others. Among mixtures, it decreased with PR. It was suggested that PR mix in less than $20\%$ in the mixtures to have an acceptable quality in summer. Cultural intensity also affected it. With lowering mowing height, KB of rhizomatous-type in growth habit kept good quality, while PR and TF with bunch-type in growth habit poor quality. Mowing quality was greatly different among CSG. KB produced clean-cut surface, but PR unclean one. If had an intermediate mowing quality between KB and PR. A great difference in green color retention was observed among CSG. The longest CSG was PR that kept green for 339 days, while the shortest one TF for 267 days. KB continued to keep green for 290 days. The mixtures kept green in color for 292 to 315 days, depending on turfgrass mixing intensity. The greater the PR in content, the longer the green color duration. These results demonstrate that KB was the best and PR the worst among CSG grown in USGA system under a domestic climate, in regards of turf quality, color, mowing quality, summer turf performance and green color duration. KB and TF are most adequate for high-maintenance and low-maintenance area, respectively. In case of mixtures for high-quality turf, it was desirable to use KB-based mixture with PR of below $20\%$ in seeding rate.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to confer disease resistance to plants. Bacillus sp. JS demonstrated antifungal activities against five fungal pathogens in in vitro assays. To verify whether the volatiles of Bacillus sp. JS confer disease resistance, tobacco leaves pre-treated with the volatiles were damaged by the fungal pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani and oomycete Phytophthora nicotianae. Pre-treated tobacco leaves had smaller lesion than the control plant leaves. In pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression analysis, volatiles of Bacillus sp. JS caused the up-regulation of PR-2 encoding ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase and acidic PR-3 encoding chitinase. Expression of acidic PR-4 encoding chitinase and acidic PR-9 encoding peroxidase increased gradually after exposure of the volatiles to Bacillus sp. JS. Basic PR-14 encoding lipid transfer protein was also increased. However, PR-1 genes, as markers of salicylic acid (SA) induced resistance, were not expressed. These results suggested that the volatiles of Bacillus sp. JS confer disease resistance against fungal and oomycete pathogens through PR genes expression.

To determine whether the feeding of different species of hay affects the dry-matter intake and the serum cortisol level of sheep, 6 non-pregnant, non-lactating ewes were offered alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hay (Al), oats (Avena sativa) hay (Ot) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) hay (Pr) under 6 kinds of treatment including 1) change from Al to Ot, 2) Al to Pr, 3) Ot to Al, 4) Ot to Pr, 5) Pr to Al, and 6) Pr to Ot. The experimental design was a 6${\times}$6 Latin square with a 14 day period of which 9 days were a preliminary period and 5 days as a digestion trial period. The change in hay feeding was done abruptly on the first day of each period without an adaptation period. The blood from the jugular vein was collected on the first, third and the last day of each period through a sterile catheter for the analysis of cortisol. The dry-matter intake was recorded daily throughout the period. The mean daily intake of dry matter (DM, g/kg live weight) was significantly different among the 3 species of hay (Al>Ot>Pr; p<0.05). The digestibility of DM for Al and Ot was the same, but that for Pr was significantly lower than Al and Ot (p<0.05). The mean serum cortisol levels were significantly different among the hays (p<0.05). The level for Pr was the highest and that for Al was the lowest. The abrupt change of hay feeding of 6 treatments produced a significant change in the serum cortisol levels. The DM intake was inversely related to the change of the cortisol level. It is suggested that the animal' intake response to different species of hay may be partly motivated by the psychological feelings toward the hay offered.

The barium strontium calcium titanate((Ba,Sr,Ca)$TiO_3$) powders prepared by the sol-gel method and $MnCO_3$ as acceptor were mixed oxide method. The microstructure was investigated with variation of $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ amount. The BSCT powder and $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ were mixed with organic vehicle(Ferro. B75001). BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing method on alumina substrates. The bottom electrode was Pt and upper electrode was Ag, respectively. All BSCT thick films were sintered at $1420^{\circ}C$, for 2h. The result of the differential thermal analysis(DTA), exothermic peak at around $654^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase. In the X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns, all BSCT thick films showed the typical perovskite polycrystalline structure and no pyrochlore phase was dbserved. The microstructure investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM). Pore and grain size of BSCT thick films were decreased with increasing amount of $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ dopant. And the average grain size and thickness of BSCT thick films doped with 0.1 mol% $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ was $3.09{\mu}m$, $60{\mu}m$, respectively. The relative dielectric constant decreased and dielectric loss decreased with increasing amount of $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ dopant, the values of the BSCT thick films no doped with $Pr_{2}O_{3}$ were 7443 and 4 % at 1 kHz, respectively.

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy has been used to study the optical properties of $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses. The complex refractive indexes of $Pr^{3+}-selenide$ glasses were measured in a frequency range from 0.3 to 1.5 THz. The real and imaginary refractive indexes increased with increasing frequency and $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration. The obtained result indicated that the phonon modes of the $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses shift to lower frequencies with the concentration of $Pr^{3+}$ ions. The theory of far-infrared absorption in amorphous materials was used to analyze the results. The measured data showed that the disorder-induced terahertz absorption increased with increasing $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration.
