Plant genetic engineering led to the production of plant-derived mAb (mAbP), which provides a safe and economically feasible alternative to the current animal expression systems. In this study, the expression level of mAbP SO57 between with and without Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL) was compared in transgenic plant. PCR and PT-PCR analyse showed stable gene insertion transcription of heavy and light chain genes of mAbP SO57 with or without KDEL in plant, respectively. We validated expression of mAbP SO57 by western blot. Western blot showed the significantly higher expression level of mAbP SO57 with KDEL compared to without KDEL. Flow cytometry (FACS) analysis showed that the Fc domains of both purified mAbP and mammalian-derived mAb (mAbM) evidenced similar binding activity to the FcγRI receptor (CD64). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysed, glycosylation patterns of mAbP SO57 with or without KDEL. The mAbP SO57 with KDEL had glycan profile with both oligomannose type (47.6%) and golgi type (52.4%), while the mAbP SO57 without KDEL had only golgi type (100%) glycans. Neutralizing analysis with rabies virus CVS-11 showed the similar neutralizing activity between mAbP SO57 with and without KDEL. These results suggest the potential of mAbP SO57 for rabies immunotherapy, regardless of plant specific glycan structures.

Plant genetic engineering has led to the production of plant-derived mAb (mAbP), which provides a safe and economically feasible alternative to the current antibody expression systems. In this study, the expression levels of mAbP SO57 with or without ER-signal peptides (Lys-Asp-Gly-Leu;KDEL) in transgenic tobacco plants were analysed in transgenic plant. PCR and Reverse Transcription-PCR analyses showed existence of heavy and light chain genes of mAb with or without KEDL and their transcription in plant, respectively. Western blot showed that the expression levels of mAbP SO57 with KDEL were significantly higher than that without KDEL. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the Fc domains of both purified mAbP and mammalian-derived mAb have similar binding activity to the FcγRI receptor. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that the mAbP SO57 with KDEL had glycan profile with both oligomannose and golgi type, whereas the mAbP SO57 without KDEL had only golgi type glycans. Neutralizing analysis with rabies virus CVS-11 showed the similar neutralizing activity between mAbP SO57 with and without KDEL. These results suggest that the potential of mAbP SO57 for rabies immunotherapy is regardless of plant specific glycan structures.

Oxidative stress is well known to be implicated in the development of asthma. The mitochondrial respiratory chain is a major site of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and, at the same time, an important target for the damaging effects of ROS. Mito-Tempo is a specific mitochondrial ROS inhibitor and it is known to be associated with opening of mi-tochondrial permeability transition pore and inhibition of cell necroptosis or apoptosis. However, there is little information on the protective effects of Mito-Tempo on the inflammatory airway disorders including bronchial asthma and its acute exacerbation. We investigate the effects of Mito-tempo on the allergic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness using the mice sensitized with OVA and LPS and then challenged with OVA (OVALPS-OVA mice). The OVALPS-OVA mice showed the typical features of neutrophilic asthma; increased airway inflammatory cells, the pathologic changes, the increased levels of Th2 cytokines in lungs of OVALPS-OVA mice, increased mitochondrial ROS generation, and increased bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Interestingly, we found that in OVALPS-OVA mice, Mito-Tempo, a novel mitochondrial targeting agent significantly reduced the increases in inflammatory cytokines, mitochondrial ROS generation, airway inflammation, and bron-chial hyperresponsiveness. These findings indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction including oxidative damage may be im-plicated in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and provide the therapeutic potential of a mitochondrial targeting agent, Mito-Tempo, for bronchial asthma.

There have been so many researches about problems of cigarettes and relation of smoking and heath since 1950's and generally known that smoking is one of the worst factor of increasing disease and mortality. No matter what such many proofs about various problems of smoking have been researched, smoking rate of current male collage students has not been decreased. Besides, most of the researches about cigarette use and its addiction have been focused on the adolescent or adult women smokers or adult male, not male collage student. Therefore, the subject of this study is about smoking attitude and smoking behavior of male collage students by general features. Smoking attitude was analyzed by modifying 'Guidelines for the content of tobacco smoking surveys of the general population'(WHO, 1982). Two hundred of male collage students participated to the distributed questionnaire for one week in May. The smoking attitude was categorized into duration of smoking and number of cigarette per day(CPD), and nicotine dependency, investigated by Fagerstrom Tolerance Questionnaire(FTQ) (Fagerstorm & Schneider, 1989). All statistics were performed by procedure of SAS according to number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA. The results are as follows: 1. Smoking attitude level was mean 25.73±5.15 marks, ranging from 13 to 39 marks of the total 40 marks. 2. Duration of cigarettes, number of cigarette per day, and nicotine dependency were mean 5.14±2.84 years, 12.88±6.85 pieces, and 4.78±1.69, respectively. 3. Smoking attitude showed significance according to general features such as marital state and allowance, but the significance according to marital state is not valuable because the numerical difference is so big between married one and single that they cannot be compared with each other. 4. Duration of smoking was significant according to general features such as age and allowance. 5. Smoking amount showed significance the factors of age only. 6. ll1ere was no significance in nicotine dependency according to general features. As a result, smoking attitude of male collage student in this study shows moderate level. Smoking attitude and duration is significant according to allowance, and smoking amount is significant according to age. Nicotine dependency according to general features is not significant but comparing with the preceding study about adult male, male collage students in this study are respectively more nicotine-dependent than adult male smokers. In conclusion, the right allowance usage strategies and effective heath education focused on the young are needed. In addition, helpful programs and information spreading strategies are necessary for establishing higher level of smoking attitude. At last, systemic regulations in daily living for ""anti-nico-dependent"" and perspective reforming of male university student are needed for reducing nicotine dependency.

Recently, special attention has been given to acid rain and its problem to environment such as acid precipitation and air pollution in East Asia. In the present study, rainwater samples were collected from Apr to Nov in 2012. The samples were chemically characterized for the assessment of emission sources. Suwon and Yeoju regions, typical agricultural areas in South Korea, were chosen for study sites. Ion composition and cation-affected neutralization were determined to evaluate the contribution of cations to the acidity of rainwater. Ion and electrical conductivity between the measured and the estimated showed high correlation. The cations observed in Suwon and Yeoju were Na<SUP>+</SUP> > NH4<SUP>+</SUP> > K<SUP>+</SUP> > Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> > Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> > H<SUP>+</SUP> and Na<SUP>+</SUP> > K<SUP>+</SUP> > NH4<SUP>+</SUP> > Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> > Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> = H<SUP>+</SUP>, respectively. The anions of all sites were SO4<SUP>2-</SUP> > NO3- > Cl<SUP>-</SUP>. While the amounts of sulfate, one of the major dissolved components of rainwater, were 77.6 and 75.6 ueq L<SUP>-1</SUP> in Suwon and Yeoju, the ones of NSS-SO4<SUP>2-</SUP> (Non-Sea Salt sulfate) were 83 and 82% in Suwon and Yeoju, respectively. The comparison of observed pH values (pHobs) with the theoretical pH values (pHthe) showed that the neutralization of rain water considerably went along during the study periods. The highest amounts of rainfall throughout the year in Suwon and Yeoju were 572.3 and 484.6 mm in July, and its corresponding nitrogen loadings in Suwon and Yeoju were 5.28 and 3.50 kg ha-1, respectively. The major ion contents for crop growth with SO4<SUP>2-</SUP>, Ca<SUP>2+</SUP>, K<SUP>+</SUP> and Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> were 51.7, 5.2, 11.8 and 1.8 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP> in Suwon and 34.2, 4.0, 4.2 and 1.1 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP> in Yeoju.

This study was conducted to test the hypothetical model designed to explain exercise behavior of middle-aged women. This hypothetical model was based on behavior-related theories and exercise-related literature. Exogenous variables were exercise habit and perceived subjective norm. Endogenous variables were exercise benefit, exercise barrier, exercise-related affect, exercise self-efficacy, exercise intention, and exercise. A convenience sample of 152 middle-aged women was studied. SAS PC Program and LISREL 8.12a program were used for descriptive statistics and linear structural relationship(LISREL) modeling. The results were as follows. 1)The overall fit of the hypothetical model was acceptable(χ2 34.86(p=0.0015), χ2/df 2.49, RMSEA 0.09, standardized RMR 0.05, GFI 0.95, AGFI 0.85, NFI 0.92, NNFI 0.87, CFI 0.95). 2)The results of statistical testing of hypotheses were as follows. (1)The varibles in this hypothetical model explained 95% of the variance of the exercise behavior. (2)Habit was the most important variable to explain exercise behavior, followed by self-efficacy, barrier, affect and benefit. Subjective norm and intention were not significant predictors of exercise behavior. Habit and self-efficacy had a significant direct effect on exercise behavior. Barrier and intention did not directly influence on exercise behavior. Habit, benefit, barrier and affect had a significant indirect effect on exercise behavior through other variables in this hypothetical model. Norm had no indirect effect on exercise behavior. (3)The direct path between habit and benefit, habit and barrier, habit and self-efficacy, norm and barrier, benefit and affect, barrier and self-efficacy, and affect and self-efficacy were significant. The indirect path between habit and affect, habit and self-efficacy, benefit and self-efficacy, benefit and intention were significant. In conclusion, this study verified that the hypothetical model constructed in this study could be used effectively as a reference for further structural modeling or interventional studies.

Today, almost all families are quipped with computers. At the same time, we can find lots of side-effects because of computers. If young students, who tend to be unable to control their impulses once they are immersed in internet, the problem will be more serious. It could be happened that the young students can't distinguish the real from the image. Therefore, it is important to grasp the actual condition of juvenile Internet addicts and their practical life, and to come up with basic materials necessary for working out countermeasures. This study surveyed 339 high school students from three high schools in the area of Seoul. Data collection were collected from 22nd of December, 2003 to 27th of December 2003. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program using T-test, ANAVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results were as follows: First, of the 333 respondents 9.61% of them were high-risk internet using group, 15.02% of them were potential-risk internet using group. 25% of then were identified as addicted group. Second, the more addicted the subjects are, the lower their level of school adjustment becomes. For the addicted group, it is difficult to adjust their school and to have a good relationship with friend. Third, the more addicted the subjects are, the lower their level of friendship becomes. The subordinate areas of friendship have same results as the level of Internet addiction and the extent of friendship. If students are addicted to Internet, it is difficult to find friends who can give them encouragement in practical life. Firth, there was a negative relationship between Internet addiction and school adjustment, and, there was a negative relationship between Internet addiction and friendship. Through this study we have seized the relationship between Internet addiction and school adjustment and friendship. As a result, the more addicted, the more difficult to adjust to school. And for the students who were addicted, it is difficult to make a friend.

Background:Alzheimer's disease (Ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is rapidly increasing with the aging society, requiring a need for early diagnosis and prevention. However, diagnosis on AD has only been possible through limited methods such as neuropsychological examination or MRI. AD is characterized by deposition of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Aβ peptide in senile plaques seems to play a central role in the neuropathology of AD. Several biochemical markers for AD are available, including reduced Aβ protein, a change in ratio between Aβ40 and 42 and increased level of tau protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods:This study analyzes anti-Aβ antibody from serums of AD patients using the ELISA. The levels of anti-Aβ antibody from patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease or stroke and from normal control were compared to that of AD patients. Results:Our results showed a significantly lower anti-Aβ antibody level in AD compared to those with other neurological diseases or control. Conclusions:These data showed that the anti-Aβ antibody level in the serum may be used to diagnose the presence of AD.
