Single and 4 weeks oral administration of l-muscone, a major active ingredient of musk, to beagle dogs of both sexes were performed to investigate both acute and subacute toxicity. Beagle dogs(3 males and 3 females) in acute experiments were administered orally with single dosage of 2,000 ㎎/㎏ and groups of 9 male and 9 female beagle dogs in subacute experiments were given daily different dosage of l-muscone, 0.2㎎/㎏/day(low dosage group), 2 ㎎/㎏/day(middle dosage group), or 20 ㎎/㎏day(high dosage group) once a day for 4 weeks by oral route according to the Established Regulation of Korean Food and Drug Administration(1996.4.16). LD_50 value for beagle dogs was more than 2,000 ㎎/㎏ on oral route for both male and females. In animals administered with l-muscone, there were neither dead animals nor significant changes of body weights. In addition, no differences were found between control and treated groups in clinical signs, urinalysis, eye examination, hematology, serum chemistry, organ weight and other findings. No histolopathological lesions were observed in both control and treatment groups. Above data strongly suggest that l-muscone in beagle dogs is considered to be safe.

A spent fuel problem has prevented the nuclear power from claiming to be a completely clean energy source. The nuclear transmutation technology to incinerate the long lived radioactive nuclides and produce energy during the incineration process is believed to be one or the best solutions. HYPER(Hybrid Power Extraction Reactor)is the accelerator driven transmutation system which is being developed by KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). Some major feature of HYPER have been developed and employed. On-power fueling concepts are employed to keep system power constant with minimum variation of accelerator power. A hollow cylinder-type metal fuel is designed for the on-line refueling concept. Lead-bismuth(Pb-Bi) is adopted as a coolant and Spallation target material. One of the issues related to the HYPER target system is the thermal and mechanical loads imposed on the Pb-Bi and the beam window. FLUENT is used for thermal-hydraulic calculation, and finally stress calculation is performed by ANSYS. A beam condition such as current is varied. The initial velocity of Pb-Bi is also varied.

Cold acclimation improves freezing tolerance in plants. In higher plants, many advances have been made toward identifying the signaling and regulatory pathways that direct the low-temperature stress response; however, similar insights have not yet been gained for simple nonvascular plants, such as bryophytes. To elucidate the pathways that regulate cold acclimation in bryophytes, we used two PCR-based differential screening techniques, cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), to isolate 510 ESTs that are differentially expressed during cold acclimation in Physcomitrella patens. We used realtime RT-PCR to further analyze expression of 29 of these transcripts during cold acclimation. Our results show that cold acclimation in the bryophyte Physcomitrella patens is not only largely similar to higher plants but also displays distinct differences, suggests significant alteration during the evolution of land plants.

Chemerin exhibits an inhibitory eff ect on hepatocellularcarcinoma; however, the underlying mechanismis unclear. Here, low chemerin expression was confi rmedin samples of liver cancer patients and hepatoma cells. Chemerin altered hepatoma cell morphology but had noeff ect on normal hepatocytes. Chemerin inhibited proliferationof several human hepatoma cell lines. Real-time PCRdetection of hepatocellular carcinoma markers showed thatmRNA levels of albumin and A-type gamma-glutamyltransferase increased whereas those of alpha-fetoprotein,alkaline phosphatase, B-type gamma-glutamyl transferase,insulin-like growth factor II, and human telomerase reversetranscriptase decreased in chemerin-treated SMMC7721cells. Western blotting revealed that chemerin up-regulatedalbumin and vimentin expressions, and downregulated alpha-fetoprotein expression. Phosphorylated STAT3 wassignifi cantly up-regulated, whereas phosphorylated ERKand AKT were signifi cantly downregulated by chemerin. Chemerin decreased phosphorylated ERK and AKT expressionand the cell proliferation induced by PI3K activator 740Y-P but could not signifi cantly alter phosphorylated STAT3expression and the cell growth induced by STAT3 inhibitorNSC74859. In conclusion, chemerin reversed the malignantphenotype and induced SMMC7721 cell diff erentiation byinhibiting MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling; growthinhibition by chemerin is not directly related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Our study provides novel evidencethat chemerin could be utilized for liver cancer treatment.

( Ming Xia Qi ),( Fei Mei ),( Hui Wang ),( Ming Sun ),( Ge Jiao Wang ),( Ziniu Yu ),( Yeon Ho Je ),( Ming Shun Li ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2015 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.25 No.2

CodY is a highly conserved protein in low G+C gram-positive bacteria that regulates genes involved in sporulation and stationary-phase adaptation. Bacillus thuringiensis is a grampositive bacterium that forms spores and parasporal crystals during the stationary phase. To our knowledge, the regulatory mechanism of CodY in B. thuringiensis is unknown. To study the function of CodY protein in B. thuringiensis, BMB171codY- was constructed in a BMB171 strain. A shuttle vector containing the ORF of cry1Ac10 was transformed into BMB171 and BMB171codY-, named BMB171cry1Ac and BMB171codY-cry1Ac, respectively. Some morphological and physiological changes of codY mutant BMB171codY-cry1Ac were observed. A comparative proteomic analysis was conducted for both BMB171codY-cry1Ac and BMB171cry1Ac through two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS analysis. The results showed that the proteins regulated by CodY are involved in microbial metabolism, including branched-chain amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and energy metabolism. Furthermore, we found CodY to be involved in sporulation, biosynthesis of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate, growth, genetic competence, and translation. According to the analysis of differentially expressed proteins, and physiological characterization of the codY mutant, we performed bacterial one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assay experiments and confirmed the direct regulation of genes by CodY, specifically those involved in metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, ribosomal recycling factor FRR, and the late competence protein ComER. Our data establish the foundation for in-depth study of the regulation of CodY in B. thuringiensis, and also offer a potential biocatalyst for functions of CodY in other bacteria.

Overexpression of starch branching enzyme 1 gene improves eating quality in japonica rice

Ming-Mao Sun,이혜정,Sailila E Abdula,지무근,조용구 한국식물생명공학회 2013 식물생명공학회지 Vol.40 No.2

Eating quality of rice attracts more and more attention from rice-eating consumers in the recent years. Thus, improvement of eating quality of cooked rice has become one of the most important breeding goals in japonica rice. Here, the generation of transgenic japonica rice with improved eating quality and grain yield are reported. Overexpression of OsSbe1 gene encoding rice starch branching enzyme 1 was driven by 35S promoter. Eleven independent homozygous T3 transgenic lines were characterized and had shown higher palatability (71.2 ~ 72.6) than wild type Gopum (70.4). Moreover, transgenic rice lines showed an increase in 1000-grain weight and number of spikelets per panicle compared with the wild type. The yield of milled rice was 562.8 ~ 596.7 kg/10a in eight T3 lines, but 542.1 kg/10a in wild type. Gene expression analyses in mRNA transcription and enzyme activity levels suggest that improved eating quality is due to the up-regulation of OsSbe1 gene.

A Resonant Characteristics Analysis and Suppression Strategy for Multiple Parallel Grid-connected Inverters with LCL Filter

Sun, Jian-jun,Hu, Wei,Zhou, Hui,Jiang, Yi-ming,Zha, Xiao-ming The Korean Institute of Power Electronics 2016 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.16 No.4

Multiple parallel inverters have multiple resonant frequencies that are influenced by many factors. This often results in stability and power quality problems. This paper develops a multiple input multiple output model of grid-connected inverter systems using a closed-loop transfer function. The influence factors of the resonant characteristics are analyzed with the developed model. The analysis results show that the resonant frequency is closely related to the number, type and composition ratio of the parallel inverters. To suppress resonance, a scheme based on virtual impedance is presented, where the virtual impedance is emulated in the vicinity of the resonance frequency. The proposed scheme needs one inverter with virtual impedance control, which reduces the design complexity of the other inverter controllers. Simulation and experimental tests are carried out on two single phase converter-based setups. The results validate the correctness of the model, the analytical results and the resonant suppressing scheme.

Ming-Mao Sun,최근진,김홍식,송범헌,우선희,이철원,정승근,조용구 한국육종학회 2009 한국육종학회지 Vol.41 No.2

국내에서 육성된 벼 품종 중에서 1998년부터 2005년까지 국립종자관리소를 통하여 보급된 67개 벼 품종을 가지고 벼 11개 염색체로부터 선발한 20개 SSR 마커들로 분석한 결과 총 대립인자수는 149개였으며 대립인자 수의 범위는 4~14개이었고 평균 대립인자 수는 7.5개였다. 대립인자들의 분자량의 변이는 RM335에서 51bp로 가장 컸고 RM253이 4 bp로서 가장 작았다. 분석에 사용한 20개 SSR 마커의 PIC값은 0.45(RM202) This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic diversity and to develop a technique for cultivar discrimination using SSR markers in rice. Sixty-seven recently distributed rice cultivars in Korea from 1998 to 2005 were evaluated by 20 SSR markers. A total of 149 alleles were produced ranging from 4 to 14 alleles with an average of 7.5 alleles per locus. The molecular weight of alleles per locus varied from 4 bp (RM253) to 51 bp (RM335), and PIC values ranged from 0.45 (RM202) to 0.87 (RM204) with an average of 0.67. Of them, seven markers, RM204, RM257, RM21, RM224, RM249, RM253, and RM264, were selected as key markers for differentiating rice varieties. The seven markers produced a total of 67 alleles with an average of 9.6 alleles per marker. PIC values ranged from 0.48 (RM253) to 0.87 (RM204) with an average of 0.72. The 63 cultivars (94%) out of 67 cultivars could be individually identified by the genotype using the seven SSR markers, which will be applicable to discriminating rice cultivars.
