소의 흰 반점 관련 후보유전자로 c-KIT receptor 유전자를 선정하여, c-KIT receptor 유전자내의 변이를 탐색하고 변이가 흰반점 표현형과 연관성이 있는지를 분석하였다. 한우, Angus, Brown Swiss, Charolais, Hereford, Holstein, Limousin 및 Simmental 등 8개 품종의 DNA 시료를 사용하여 c-KIT receptor 유전자의 intron 6번 영역에서 다형성을 조사하고 분석하였다. c-KIT receptor 유전자의 intron 6번 영역에서는 4개의 염기치환이 발견되어, MspⅠ, BsrBⅠ 및 NdeⅠ 제한효소를 이용하여 PCR-RFLP 분석을 실시하였다. Intron 6번을 포함하는 영역의 PCR 산물 크기는 2,440 bp 이었다. MspⅠ다형성은 PCR-RFLP 분석 결과 3개의 대립유전자가 존재하였으며, 한우품종에서는 3개의 대립유전자 모두가 발견되었고, CC 형태이 유전자형을 제외한 5개의 유전자형 (AA, AB, AC, BC 및 BB)을 확인하였다. Angus, Brown Swiss, Hereford, Holstein 및 Simmental 품종에서는 A 대립유전자만을 갖는 것으로 조사되었고, 한우는 44%만 AA 유전자형을 나타내었다. BsrBⅠ 다형성은 2개의 대립유전자로서 3개의 유전자형이 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, Charolais 및 Hereford 품종이 다른 소 품종에 비하여 A 대립유전자의 빈도가 높게 나타났다. NdeⅠ 다형성을 분석한 결과 Brown Swiss 품종에서는 NdeⅠ에 의해 절단되는 형태인 A 대립유전자만 관찰되었으며, Holstein 품종은 92%, Simmental 품종은 72%가 절단되는 형태를 나타내어, 모색이 흰색을 띠는 소 품종에서 절단되는 형태가 많았다. 소 c-KIT receptor 유전자의 intron 6번 영역에서 확인된 4개의 염기치환은 품종에 따라 다른 빈도를 보였으나, 이들 염기치환과 흰 반점과의 연관성에 대한 증거는 발견하지 못하였다. 그러므로 소의 흰 반점과 c-KIT receptor 유전자 내의 변이와의 관련성은 다른 영역에 대한 추가적인 분석과, 이미 보고된 다른 모색관련 유전자의 다형성과의 연관성 분석 등과 같은 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. We considered KIT gene as a candidate gene for the white-spotting pattern in cattle. This study was carried out to detect genetic variation of c-KIT receptor gene and to investigate association between the mutation and the white-spotting pattern in cattle. PCR-RFLP analysis within intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene were performed with 8 cattle breeds including Hanwoo, Angus, Brown Swiss, Charolais, Hereford, Holstein, Limousin and Simmental. When PCR product of approximately 2,440 bp including intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene was sequenced, four nucleotide substitutions were found within intron 6 of the bovine c-KIT receptor gene. In PCR-RFLP analysis, three alleles (A, B and C), two alleles (A and B) and two alleles (A and B) at each locus were identified by Msp Ⅰ, BsrBⅠ and NdeⅠ, respectively. Although frequencies of allele at each locus were different among cattle breeds, we could not get any evidence related with white or white spotting phenotypes in these mutations on intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene. However, we can not entirely exclude the possibility that c-KIT receptor gene is responsible for white spotting phenotype in cattle. Thus, further studies need to detect other mutations in c-KIT receptor gene and to test association of those mutations and coat color phenotypes in cattle.

We have reported that water-extracted Korean mistletoe(KM-110) had various biological activities such as antitumor and immunomodulatory activity and the lectin fraction(KML-C) of the extract was one of the major factors related to its biological functions. In this paper, we produced murine monoclonal antibody(mAb) against KML-C. The mAbs obtained were largely classified into two groups according to specificity to KML-C and ML-I, a lectin from European mistletoe. One group mABs(9H7-D10 and 3C2-1H4) strongly reacted with KML-C, but not ML-I. In contrast, another group mAbs(8B11-2C5, 8E12-3E9 and 5E10-F1) reacted with both KML-C and ML-1. The subisotypes of these mAbs were shown to be IgG1(9H7-1D10, 3C2-1H4 and 8B11-2C5) or IgM(8E12-3E9 and 5E10-F1). To develop an assay system for determination of the amonunt of KML-C, we established the sandwich ELISA(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method using these mAbs and horse radish peroxidase(HRP) labelled mAbs.In various combinations of the mAbs for coated antibody and detection antibody, the sandwich ELISA quantitatively detected KML-C,showing the detection limit ranging from 7-5,000ng/ml. Especially, reproducibility(C.V.) of the sandwich ELISA, in which 8E12-3E9 was used for coating antibody and 8B11-2C5-HRP for detection antibody, was 4.59-5.83 in intra assay, and 3.9-9.4 in inter assay.

C language를 위한 Concurrent Programming 환경의 개발

윤용익(Y I Yoon),조주현(J H Cho),정영조(Y C Chung),강석열(S Y. Kang) 한국정보과학회 1988 한국정보과학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.15 No.1

Multiprocessor system이 널리 보급되고 사용됨에 따라 concurrent programming은 더욱 더 중요한 feature가 되어가고 있다. 기존의 C 언어는 concurrent programming을 위한 feature들을 가지고 있지 못하나, 본 논문에서는 concurrent processing이 가능한 Concurrent-C 언어를 설계, 구현하였다. Concurrent feature들을 첨가하는 방법으로는 여러 종류의 runtime library routine들을 제공하여 C program 내에서 이 routine들을 call하는 방식을 사용하였다. Concurrent-C는 UNIX 환경하에서 구현되었으며, 실제로 C compiler를 제공하는 어떠한 OS 상에서도 host machine의 종류에 관계없이 구현될 수 있다.

The Role of c-FLIP in Cisplatin Resistance of Human Bladder Cancer Cells

Lee, S.,Yoon, C.Y.,Byun, S.S.,Lee, E.,Lee, S.E. Williams and Wilkins Co 2013 The Journal of urology Vol.189 No.6

Purpose: We investigated the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance in human bladder cancer cells to provide novel molecular targets for the treatment of cisplatin resistant bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: The differential gene expression of cisplatin sensitive (T24) and resistant (T24R2) human bladder cancer cell lines was analyzed and validated by microarray and Western blot analysis. Changes in cisplatin sensitivity by c-FLIP knockdown and related mechanisms in T24R2 cells were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Gaithersburg, Maryland) and Western blot. siRNA oligonucleotides that specifically target c-FLIP were prepared and siRNA transfection was done. Results: Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 1,086 and 322 genes showed more than twofold and fourfold changes in the T24R2 and T24 cell lines, respectively. Especially genes involved in the c-FLIP related death receptor apoptosis pathway, including caspase 2 and 9, NF-kB, BID, c-FLIP, XIAP, and cIAP1 and 2, showed differential expression in the 2 cell lines. Western blot demonstrated complete cisplatin mediated suppression of c-FLIP expression in T24 cells but no change in c-FLIP expression was observed in T24R2 cells after cisplatin treatment in the same dose range. Suppression of c-FLIP expression in T24R2 cells by siRNA transfection rendered these cells significantly more sensitive to cisplatin treatment than untransfected T24R2 cells (p <0.05). Conclusions: Results reveal that c-FLIP has an important role in the cisplatin resistance of human bladder cancer cells and c-FLIP modulation may at least partially reverse cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells.

Hepatoprotective effect of vitamin C on lithocholic acid-induced cholestatic liver injury in Gulo(-/-) mice

Yu, S.J.,Bae, S.,Kang, J.S.,Yoon, J.H.,Cho, E.J.,Lee, J.H.,Kim, Y.J.,Lee, W.J.,Kim, C.Y.,Lee, H.S. North-Holland ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2015 european journal of pharmacology Vol.762 No.-

<P>Prevention and restoration of hepatic fibrosis from chronic liver injury is essential for the treatment of patients with chronic liver diseases. Vitamin C is known to have hepatoprotective effects, but their underlying mechanisms are unclear, especially those associated with hepatic fibrosis. Here, we analyzed the impact of vitamin Con bile acid induced hepatocyte apoptosis in vitro and lithocholic acid (LCA) induced liver injury in vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice, which cannot synthesize vitamin C similarly to humans. When Huh BAT cells were treated with bile acid, apoptosis was induced by endoplasmic retiiculum stress related JNK activation but vitamin C attenuated bile acid induced hepatocyte apoprosis in vitro. In our in vivo experiments. LCA feeding increased plasma marker of cholestasis and resulted in more extensive liver damage and hepatic fibrosis by more prominent apoptotic cell death and recruiting more intrahepatic inflammatory CD11b(+) cells in the liver of vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice compared to wild type mice which have minimal hepatic fibrosis. However, when vitamin C was supplemented to vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice, hepatic fibrosis was significantly attenuated in the liver of vitamin C-sufficient Gulo(-/-) mice like in wild type mice and this hepatoprotective effect of vitamin C was thought to be associated with both decreased hepatic apoptosis and necrosis. These results suggested that vitamin C had hepatoprotective effect against cholestatic liver injury. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This study examined the effect of tenderizing/marinating and flavoring ingredients on thermal inactivation of <I>Escherichia coli</I> O157:H7 in a lean ground beef model system, simulating non-intact products. Ground beef (3% fat) was inoculated with <I>E</I>. <I>coli</I> O157:H7 (5 strains; 6–7 log CFU/g), followed by mixing with nothing (control) or solutions of water, a mixture of flavoring agents (FA), 0.23% calcium chloride (CC) + FA, CC + FA + 0.3% acetic acid (AA), 0.5% sodium chloride (NaCl) + 0.25% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), NaCl + STP + FA, NaCl + STP + 1.8% potassium lactate (PL), NaCl + STP + PL + FA, NaCl + STP + PL + AA, and NaCl + STP + PL + AA + FA. Samples (30 g) were extruded into tubes, stored (4 °C) overnight, and cooked to 60 °C (rare) or 65 °C (medium-rare) in a water bath. Cooking weight losses, and fat and moisture contents, water activity, pH, and total bacterial and <I>E</I>. <I>coli</I> O157:H7 populations were determined after inoculation, after storage, and after heating. Reductions of the pathogen at 60 °C in acid (AA)-treated samples were higher than reductions obtained in samples not treated with acid. Surviving pathogen counts at 65 °C in NaCl and STP-treated samples with no acid were higher (<I>P</I> < 0.05) than those of samples of all other tested treatments; however, the counts decreased to 0.7–1.6 log CFU/g when AA was added.

Antifungal activity of polyacetylenes isolated from Cirsium japonicum roots against various phytopathogenic fungi

Yoon, M.Y.,Choi, G.J.,Choi, Y.H.,Jang, K.S.,Cha, B.,Kim, J.C. Elsevier 2011 Industrial crops and products Vol.34 No.1

Antifungal substances from a methanol extract of Cirsium japonicum roots were purified and characterized, and their antifungal activities against various plant pathogens were evaluated. Three polyacetylene substances were isolated from roots of C. japonicum using repeated column chromatography; these were identified as ciryneol A, ciryneol C and 1-heptadecene-11,13-diyne-8,9,10-triol by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses. In vitro antifungal activity of the three substances varied according to compound and target species. Magnaporthe oryzae, Colletotrichum coccodes, Colletotrichum acutatum, Pythium ultimum and Botrytis cinerea were relatively sensitive to the three polyacetylenes, with IC<SUB>50</SUB> values below 50μgmL<SUP>-1</SUP>. In vivo, they all showed similar and broad antifungal spectra against the seven plant diseases tested. At 500μgmL<SUP>-1</SUP>, all three compounds effectively suppressed the development of rice blast, rice sheath blight, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust and red pepper anthracnose, with control values over 90%. They were highly active especially against wheat leaf rust; they controlled the development of this disease more than 88% even at a concentration of 125μgmL<SUP>-1</SUP>. In addition, ciryneol C effectively suppressed barley powdery mildew. This is the first report on the antifungal activities of the three polyacetylenes from roots of C. japonicum against plant pathogenic fungi. Polyacetylenes from roots of C. japonicum may contribute to the development of environmentally safer alternatives to protect crops from various phytopathogenic fungi.

Distal protection device aggravated microvascular obstruction evaluated by cardiac MR after primary percutaneous intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Yoon, C.H.,Chung, W.Y.,Suh, J.W.,Cho, Y.S.,Youn, T.J.,Chun, E.J.,Choi, S.I.,Chae, I.H.,Choi, D.J. Elsevier/North-Holland Biomedical Press 2013 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY Vol.167 No.5

Background: Protection of distal embolization by balloon occlusion and thrombus aspiration has not improved microvascular circulation nor decreased myocardial injury during primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in randomized trials. In a prospective randomized trial, we investigated the mechanism of the poor effect of distal protection and thrombus aspiration (DP-TA) in 126 patients with STEMI. Methods: Patients with first-diagnosed STEMI were randomly assigned to DP-TA pretreatment or conventional PCI (c-PCI). Primary endpoint was reduced left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured by MRI at post-PCI and 6months after PCI. Secondary end points were infarct ratio (infarct size to entire LV size) by delayed enhancement (DE), area at risk (AAR) ratio (AAR to entire LV size) by T2 high signal, microvascular occlusion index (MVO) ratio (MVO to entire LV size) by DE, and myocardial salvage index (MSI: (AAR-infarct size)*100/AAR) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3days after PCI. Results: Baseline characteristics of the patients including cardiovascular risk factors and lesion characteristics were similar between the two groups. DT-PA failed to improve LV remodeling at 6months (LVEDV 140+/-39 vs 133+/-37 in c-PCI group, p=0.418). Infarct ratio, AAR ratio and MSI were not statistically different between DP-TA group and c-PCI group. However, MVO ratio was significantly larger in DP-TA group than in c-PCI group (2.4+/-2.7 vs 1.1+/-1.9, p=0.045). Conclusion: DP-TA was potentially hazardous in primary PCI for STEMI by increasing MVO. DP-TA should not be used in STEMI.

Recently, SRMs are used in automobiles for power assistant steering, accessory motion control and traction drives. Especially in the motion control and traction drives, safety and efficiency are of paramount important. The paper describes the essential elements, faced in designing and constructing drive circuits for a switched reluctance motor for automobiles<br/> These converters will be referred to as energy efficient C-dump converter and modified C-dump converter. Energy efficient C-dump converter topology eliminate all the disadvantages of the C -dump converter without sacrificing its attractive features, and also provide some additional advantages that have lower number of power devices, full regenerative capability, free-wheeling in chopping or PWM mode, simple control strategy, and faster demagnetization during commutation. The experiments are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.<br/>
