초산인 35세 산모가 고령 임신과 모체혈액선별검사 고위험군을 주소로 양수천자를 실시한 결과 8번 염색체의 단완에 위성체가 붙어 있는 것이 발견되었다. 부모 염색체 검사 결과 모두 정상으로 확인되어 태아에게서 관찰된 8ps현상은 de novo로 판단된다. FISH 검사로 좀 더 자세히 분석한 결과, 8번 염색체와 22번 염색체 사이에 미세한 전좌가 관찰되었다. 태아의 염색체 8번과 22번 사이의 de novo 전좌를 갖고 있었지만 절단 부위가 DNA의 단순 반복 부위이므로 표현형에 영향을 미칠 가능성은 높지 않을 것으로 추측되었고, 임신 기간 동안 초음파상 이상 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 유전상담을 통해 8번 염색체 단완의 미세 결실 가능성이 설명되었고, 부모의 결정에 따라 추가실험 없이 임신은 유지되었다. 그리고 38주에 정상 표현형의 남아가 분만되었다. 본 증례는 산전 진단에서 세포유전학적 검사로 8번 염색체 단완의 위성체만이 발견되었으나, 추가의 분자세포유전학적 진단으로 8번과 22번 염색체 단완 사이의 미세한 전좌를 확인하였다. 이처럼 보다 정확하고 자세한 분자세포 유전학적 분석들이 산전 진단에서는 필요함을 시사한 사례였다. The authors of the present study report the prenatal detection of a chromosomal abnormality with additional satellites on the distal short arm of chromosome 8. A 35-year-old woman was referred for amniocentesis because of her advanced maternal age and positive result for maternal serum screening test. Cytogenetic analysis of cultured amniocytes showed a satellite 8p chromosome. The satellite 8p chromosome was positive for nucleolus organizer region (NOR) staining. The parents’ karyotypes were normal. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study for metaphases of fetal amniocytes revealed a cryptic translocation of chromosomes 8p and 22p. The fetal karyotype was described as 46,XY,8ps.ish t(8;22)(p23.3;p11.2) (D8S504-;D8S504+)dn. The parents decided to continue the pregnancy and a phenotypically normal boy was born at 38 weeks of gestation. In case of de novo terminal NORs detected prenatally, more accurate cytogenetic and molecular analysis should be performed in order to rule out cryptic chromosomal rearrangement among other chromosomes.

Silk sericin (SS) was fabricated into beads using LiCl/DMSO solution as a solvent. Up to 30 % (w/v) of SS could be dissolved within 3 hours, and the shape of solidified SS depends on the concentration of SS. Ethanol was the best coagulant among alcohols, making beads with suitable mechanical strength for further application. SS beads swell more at a pH above the isoelectric point (pI) than below the pI. The pH and the presence of an enzyme greatly affect the dissolution rate of SS beads. Whereas only 10 % of SS beads were dissolved at pH 2.2 in the presence of pepsin, more than 45 % of SS beads were dissolved at pH 7.4 in the presence of trypsin. The release of drug was suppressed in a stomach-like environment while promoted in an intestine-like environment.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Muscle weakness is one of the most common symptoms in aged individuals and increases risk of mortality. Thus, maintenance of muscle mass is important for inhibiting aging. In this study, we investigated the effect of catechins, polyphenol compounds in green tea, on muscle regeneration. We found that (−)-epicatechin gallate <B>(</B>ECG) and (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) activate satellite cells by induction of Myf5 transcription factors. For satellite cell activation, Akt kinase was significantly induced after ECG treatment and ECG-induced satellite cell activation was blocked in the presence of Akt inhibitor. ECG also promotes myogenic differentiation through the induction of myogenic markers, including Myogenin and Muscle creatine kinase (MCK), in satellite and C2C12 myoblast cells. Finally, EGCG administration to mice significantly increased muscle fiber size for regeneration. Taken together, the results suggest that catechins stimulate muscle stem cell activation and differentiation for muscle regeneration.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Catechins stimulate muscle regeneration after muscle damage. </LI> <LI> Catechins activate muscle satellite cells through Akt activation and Myf5 induction. </LI> <LI> Catechins stimulate myogenesis through the induction of Myogenin and MCK. </LI> </UL> </P>

<P>A yellow-pigmented, Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated CS100(T), was isolated from soil in Chungbuk, Korea. Phylogenetic analysis and comparative studies based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CS100(T) belonged to the genus Flavobacterium in the family Flavobacteriaceae. Strain CS100(T) showed the highest sequence similarities to Flavobacterium glaciei JCM 13953(T) (97.6 %) and Flavobacterium johnsoniae KACC 11410(T) (97.1 %). Sequence similarity to other members of the genus Flavobacterium was 91.5-97.0 %. Growth occurred at 4-30 C, at pH 5.0-9.0 and in the presence of 0-2 % (w/v) NaCl. Flexirubin-type pigments were produced. Menaquinone-6 (MK-6) was the major respiratory quinone and the major fatty acids were iso-C(15 : 0) (17.3 %), summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH and/or C(16 : 1)ω7c, 15.5 %) and C(16 : 0) (11.8 %). The DNA G+C content was 36.4 mol%. Strain CS100(T) hydrolysed skimmed milk and gelatin, but not chitin or pectin, and showed oxidase and catalase activities. DNA-DNA relatedness was 3.0 % with F. glaciei JCM 13953(T) and 11.5 % with F. johnsoniae KACC 11410(T). On the basis of the evidence from this study, strain CS100(T) represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium chungbukense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CS100(T) ( = KACC 15048(T) = JCM 17386(T)).</P>
