경기도와 인천시의 초등교사 양성을 책임지고 있는 인천교육대학교의 입장에서는 경기·인천지역의 초등 과학과 수학분야의 영재교육 프로그램을 경험하려는 학생들에게 기대와 요구를 충족시켜 줄 책임과 의무가 있다. 이에 인천교육대학교에서는 과학교육연구소가 중심이 되어 영재교육연구원이나 영재교육원을 설치하기 위한 장기적인 목표 하에 과학·수학 영재교육을 실시할 수 있는 실제적인 방안을 모색할 필요성에 따라, 우선 실험적으로 캠프 형식의 운영을 실험해 보았다. 본 연구는 이러한 구체적인 현장 사례연구를 바탕으로 인천교육대학교에서 주관하는 영재교육추진 기본 계획 수립을 위한 초등 과학·수학분야 영재교육 프로그램의 운영 모델과 그것의 실천에 필요한 장기적인 전망을 제안한다. 캠프에서 운영할 수 있는 프로그램의 성격은 심화형의 다 주제 탐구형으로 진행하면서 다양한 교과나 체험을 위주로 한 내용과 형식을 갖출 것을 권장한다. 영재캠프에 참가할 수 있는 자격 조건과 선발 기준은 운영하고자 하는 프로그램의 내용과 성격에 가장 부합하도록 특성화되어야 하고, 캠프에 참가한 학생들에 대한 지속적인 사후 관리가 필요하다. 지속적인 교육과 운영을 위해서는 장기적인 연구 계획 및 예산 수립이 필요하며, 각 교과의 전문가들과 보다 장기적인 공동연구를 수행해야만 한다. 그러면서 영재교육연구원이나 영재교육원의 운영을 목표로 영재교사 양성을 위한 직무연수 프로그램이나 부설 사회교육원의 프로그램을 통해 학부모 교실을 운영할 수 있음도 제안한다. This is a basic study on the science and math camp program for the gifted and talented children in science and mathematics. We organized and managed empirical camp twice for 2 years. From those experiences, we proposed a sample model to manage good camp and a long term vision. This is the result of the basic study on the management of the science and mathematics camp program in Inchon National University of Education.

본 연구는 영재 프로그램과 그 운영의 적절성과 타당성을 판단하는데 기초 자료가 될 수 있는 준거를 추출하기 위한 연구이다. 과학캠프 활동 프로그램에 대한 학생들의 흥미와 유익성, 영재캠프 운영에 관련된 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 캠프에 참가한 학생과 그 학부모에게 실시하여 분석하였다. 영재 캠프에 참가한 학생은 직접 참여할 수 있으면서 지적 호기심을 자극하는 활동에 흥미를 느꼈고, 놀이 요소가 포함된 프로그램을 많이 선호하였다. 학생들이 모르거나, 중요하다고 생각하거나, 일상생활에 적용할 수 있는 과학 지식이나 원리를 배웠다고 인식하는 경우, 유익한 프로그램으로 인식하였다. 과학 영재 캠프의 운영에 있어서 많은 학생이 방학 중에 1주일 정도의 기간으로 합숙하는 프로그램 운영 방식을 선호하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 캠프 활동 프로그램과 운영에 대한 몇 가지 시사점을 제안하였다. This study is to find out criteria and basic data to evaluate effectiveness and validity of program for gifted children in science. To this purpose, a questionnaire to investigate the perception of interest and usefulness for camp activities was administered to the gifted children registered to science camp. By analyzing their responses, we could conclude that the gifted children thought the activities, which stimulating their curiosity or providing opportunities to participate, to be interesting to them. They preferred the activities like a play or a game and considered that a useful activities should have something worth-learning. They and their parents preferred to stay in a camp for a week. Based on this research, we suggested some implications about academic camp program for gifted children in science.

생물검정법을 이용한 하수슬러지 장기연용 토양의 독성평가

남재작,이승환,권순익,홍석영,임동규,고문환,송범헌 한국환경농학회 2004 한국환경농학회지 Vol.23 No.4

생물검정법에 의한 토양 내 독성평가의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 두 종류의 하수슬러지를 7년간 연용한 토양을 Microtox^(?) 생물검정법과 상추종자 뿌리 신장법을 사용하여 독성을 평가하였다. 이 방법들은 하수오니의 종류나 시용량에 따른 토양의 독성 정도를 잘 평가 할 수 있었다. 상추종자 뿌리 신장법은 특별한 장비나 복잡한 처리 없이도 유의성 있는 결과를 구할 수 있었고 Microtox^(?) 검정법은 전반적으로 재현성과 감도에서 유의성이 있었으며 또한 유기화합물에 대한 종합적인 평가도 가능하였다. 하수오니와 같이 다양한 화합물이 혼재되어 있는 유기성 자원의 토양 시용시 기존의 제한된 화학성분의 토양 분석법만으로는 독성평가에 한계가 있고 또 개별적으로는 별 영향이 없더라도 여러 화합물이 복합적으로 존재할 때 나타나는 독성작용에 대한 평가는 더욱이 어렵다. 그러므로 이러한 영향을 종합적으로 평가할 수 있는 생물검정법이 토양의 독성 평가에서 화학분석법을 보완하는 평가방법으로서의 중요성은 충분하다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 생물독성법의 유용성을 높이기 위해서는 생물검정법의 시료 추출방법 개선과 실험의 재현성을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하리라 생각된다. 따라서 이런 생물검정법의 많은 제약에도 불구하고 환경의 종합적인 평가에 있어서 생물검정법의 중요성은 대단히 크며 직접적으로 생물을 이용하는 방법뿐만 아니라 유전독성 평가 방법 등 다양한 방법들이 환경독성 평가에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. Bioassay was employed to assess toxicity of soil which had been treated with sewage sludges for seven years. The Microtox^(?) and root elongation test of lettuce (Lactuca Saliva) elucidated that the intensity of soil toxicity was closely related with the types and amount of sewage sludges applied. Both bioassay methods proved to be useful in an assessment of soil toxicity and were consistent to some extent with the conventional chemical analysis methods. EC_(50) values resulted from Microtox^(?) were highly correlated with concentration of heavy metals in soils amended with sewage sludges : Cu (r²= 0.86^(**)), Cr (r²= 0.84^(**)), Ni (r²= 0.83^(**)), and Zn (r²= 0.69^(**)). This demonstrated that both bioassay techniques could be employed as tools for soil toxicity assessment when the soil was exposed to solid wastes such as sewage sludge.

Naringenin (NAR) as one of the fl avonoids observed in grapefruit has been reported to exhibit an anti-cancer activity. However, more detailed mechanism by which NAR exerts anti-cancer properties still remains unanswered. Thus, in this study, we have shown that NAR down-regulates the level of cyclin D1 in human colorectal cancer cell lines, HCT116 and SW480. NAR inhibited the cell proliferation in HCT116 and SW480 cells and decreased the level of cyclin D1 protein. Inhibition of proteasomal degradation by MG132 blocked NAR-mediated cyclin D1 downregulation and the half-life of cyclin D1 was decreased in the cells treated with NAR. In addition, NAR increased the phosphorylation of cyclin D1 at threonine-286 and a point mutation of threonine-286 to alanine blocked cyclin D1 downregulation by NAR. p38 inactivation attenuated cyclin D1 downregulation by NAR. From these results, we suggest that NAR-mediated cyclin D1 downregulation may result from proteasomal degradation through p38 activation. The current study provides new mechanistic link between NAR, cyclin D1 downregulation and cell growth in human colorectal cancer cells.

<i>Vitex rotundifolia</i> Fruit Extract Induces Apoptosis Through the Downregulation of ATF3-Mediated Bcl-2 Expression in Human Colorectal Cancer Cells

<P>Fruit from <I>Vitex rotundifolia</I> L. (VF) has been reported to initiate apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Since various regulatory factors are involved in the apoptotic pathway, further study of the potential mechanisms of VF associated with the induction of apoptosis may be important despite the fact that the molecular target of VF for apoptosis has already been elucidated. In this study, we showed a new potential mechanism for the relationship between VF-mediated ATF3 expression and apoptosis to better understand the apoptotic mechanism of VF in human colorectal cancer cells. VF reduced the cell viability and induced apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells. VF treatment increased both the protein and mRNA level of ATF3 and upregulated ATF3 promoter activity. The cis-element responsible for ATF3 transcriptional activation by VF was CREB which is located between <TEX>$ -$</TEX>147 to <TEX>$ -$</TEX>85 of ATF3 promoter. Inhibitions of ERK1/2, p38, JNK and GSK3<TEX>$ \beta $</TEX> blocked VF-mediated ATF3 expression. ATF3 knockdown by ATF3 siRNA attenuated the cleavage of PARP by VF, while ATF3 overexpression increased VF-mediated cleaved PARP. ATF3 knockdown also attenuated VF-mediated cell viability and cell death. In addition, VF downregulated Bcl-2 expression at both protein and mRNA level. ATF3 knockdown by ATF3 siRNA blocked VF-mediated downregulation of Bcl-2. In conclusion, VF may activate ATF3 expression through transcriptional regulation and subsequently suppress Bcl-2 expression as an anti-apoptotic protein, which may result in the induction of apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells.</P>

Increased Antibiotic Resistance of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300 Δpsm Mutants and a Complementation Study of Δpsm Mutants Using Synthetic Phenol-Soluble Modulins

Phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) are responsible for regulating biofilm formation, persister cell formation, pmtR expression, host cell lysis, and anti-bacterial effects. To determine the effect of psm deletion on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, we investigated psm deletion mutants including Δpsmα, Δpsmβ, and Δpsmαβ. These mutants exhibited increased β-lactam antibiotic resistance to ampicillin and oxacillin that was shown to be caused by increased Nacetylmannosamine kinase (nanK) mRNA expression, which regulates persister cell formation, leading to changes in the pattern of phospholipid fatty acids resulting in increased anteiso-C_15:0, and increased membrane hydrophobicity with the deletion of PSMs. When synthetic PSMs were applied to Δpsmα and Δpsmβ mutants, treatment of Δpsmα with PSMα1-4 and Δpsmβ with PSMβ1-2 restored the sensitivity to oxacillin and slightly reduced the biofilm formation. Addition of a single fragment showed that α1, α2, α3, and β2 had an inhibiting effect on biofilms in Δpsmα; however, β1 showed an enhancing effect on biofilms in Δpsmβ. This study demonstrates a possible reason for the increased antibiotic resistance in psm mutants and the effect of PSMs on biofilm formation.

L-Glycine Alleviates Furfural-Induced Growth Inhibition during Isobutanol Production in Escherichia coli

Lignocellulose is now a promising raw material for biofuel production. However, the lignin complex and crystalline cellulose require pretreatment steps for breakdown of the crystalline structure of cellulose for the generation of fermentable sugars. Moreover, several fermentation inhibitors are generated with sugar compounds, majorly furfural. The mitigation of these inhibitors is required for the further fermentation steps to proceed. Amino acids were investigated on furfural-induced growth inhibition in E. coli producing isobutanol. Glycine and serine were the most effective compounds against furfural. In minimal media, glycine conferred tolerance against furfural. From the IC₅₀ value for inhibitors in the production media, only glycine could alleviate growth arrest for furfural, where 6 mM glycine addition led to a slight increase in growth rate and isobutanol production from 2.6 to 2.8 g/l under furfural stress. Overexpression of glycine pathway genes did not lead to alleviation. However, addition of glycine to engineered strains blocked the growth arrest and increased the isobutanol production about 2.3-fold.
