<P>As a member of imitation switch (ISWI) family in ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors, RSF complex consists of SNF2h ATPase and Rsf-1. Although it has been reported that SNF2h ATPase is recruited to DNA damage sites (DSBs) in a poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-dependent manner in DNA damage response (DDR), the function of Rsf-1 is still elusive. Here we show that Rsf-1 is recruited to DSBs confirmed by various cellular analyses. Moreover, the initial recruitment of Rsf-1 and SNF2h to DSBs shows faster kinetics than that of γH2AX after micro-irradiation. Signals of Rsf-1 and SNF2h are retained over 30 min after micro-irradiation, whereas γH2AX signals are gradually reduced at 10 min. In addition, Rsf-1 is accumulated at DSBs in ATM-dependent manner, and the putative pSQ motifs of Rsf-1 by ATM are required for its accumulation at DSBs. Furtheremore, depletion of Rsf-1 attenuates the activation of DNA damage checkpoint signals and cell survival upon DNA damage. Finally, we demonstrate that Rsf-1 promotes homologous recombination repair (HRR) by recruiting resection factors RPA32 and Rad51. Thus, these findings reveal a new function of chromatin remodeler Rsf-1 as a guard in DNA damage checkpoints and homologous recombination repair.</P>

<P>A microstructure-based hydrogel was employed to study the relationship between spatial specificity and cellular behavior, including cell fate, proliferation, morphology, and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. To effectively form homogeneous cell clusters in vitro, we made cell-containing hydrogel membrane constructs with an adapted grid structure based on a hexagonal micropattern. Homogeneous cell clusters (average diameter: 83.6 14.2 μm) of pancreatic insulinoma (MIN6) cells were spontaneously generated in the floating hydrogel membrane constructs, including a hexagonal grid structure (size of cavity: 100 μm, interval between cavities: 30 μm). Interestingly, 3D clustering of MIN6 cells mimicking the structure of pancreatic islets was coalesced into a merged aggregate attaching to each hexagonal cavity of the hydrogel grid structure. The fate and insulin secretion of homogeneous cell clusters in the hydrogel grid structure were also assessed. The results of these designable hydrogel-cell membrane constructs suggest that facultative in vitro β-cell proliferation and maintenance can be applied to biofunctional assessments.</P>

趙載敏,李炳讚,閔潤植 충주대학교 산업대학원 2002 大學院論文輯 Vol.3 No.-

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of water on the physical characteristics of dough for making white bread The results of the farinogram, the extensogram, and the amylogram measured were as the follow 1. In the farinogram pattern, the water absorption of dough were SW 71.2%, CW 70.9%, and DW 70.5%. water absorption of dough in SW was higher than CW and DW 2. In the development time, both SW and CW showed stability of dough because SW and CW taken 6 minutes whereas DW taken 2-3 min. In the extensogram, the resistance of dough was DW 520 B.U, CW 580 B.U, and SW 560 B.U, and thus CW and SW show excellence in keeping CO_2 formed by dough fermentation since their R/E (Resistance/ Extensibility) ratio was higher than R/E of DW. 3. By the amylogram of analyzing α-amylase activity, the highest viscosity was SW 700 B.U, DW 510 B.U, and CW 525 B.U, which showed SW might have the highest effect in enzyme stalling and starch decomposition in the baking stage.

김민지(Min-Ji Kim),김정수(Jung-Soo Kim),라채훈(Chae Hun Ra),김성구(Sung-Koo Kim) 한국생물공학회 2013 KSBB Journal Vol.28 No.5

Ethanol fermentations were performed using separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) processes with monosaccharides from pretreated seaweed, Eucheuma spinosum as the biomass. The pretreatment was carried out with 11% (w/v) seaweed slurry and 150 mM H₂SO₄ at 121℃ for 40 min. Enzyme hydrolysis after H₂SO₄ pretreatment was performed with Celluclast 1.5 L at 45℃ for 24 h. Five % active charcoal were added to hydrolysate to removed 5-hydroxy methylfurfural. Ethanol fermentation with 11% (w/v) seaweed hydrolysate was performed for 72~96 h using Kluyvermyces marxianus, Pichia stipits, Saccharomyces cervisiae and Candida tropicalis. Ethanol concentration was reached to 18 g/L by K. marxianus, 16 g/L by P. stipitis, 15 g/L by S. cerevisiae and 10 g/L by C. tropicalis, respectively. The ethanol yield from total monosugar was obtained 0.50 and ethanol productivity was obtained 0.38 g/L/h by K. marxianus.

오존 처리에 의해 산소 작용기가 도입된 활성탄소의 세슘 흡착 특성

채은선 ( Eunseon Chae ),민충기 ( Chung Gi Min ),임채훈 ( Chaehun Lim ),이영석 ( Young-seak Lee ) 한국공업화학회 2024 공업화학 Vol.35 No.1

세슘은 높은 수용성으로 인하여 인체에 쉽게 침투하여 암 또는 DNA의 변형을 유발하는 잠재적인 독성 오염물질이다. 본 연구에서는 활성탄소의 세슘 흡착 능력을 향상시키고자 오존 처리를 통하여 활성탄소 표면에 산소 작용기를 도입하였다. 오존 처리 시간의 증가에 따라 활성탄소 표면의 산소함량이 증가하였다. 이후 활성탄소와 세슘 사이의 정전기적 상호작용이 더욱 원활하게 이루어져 모든 시료의 세슘 이온 흡착 효율이 향상되었다. 특히 반응기 내부 오존 농도를 50000 ppm으로 하여 7 min 동안 오존 처리한 시료는 약 12%의 높은 산소 작용기 함량을 보이며 97.6%의 가장 높은 세슘 제거 효율을 보였다. 한편, 5 min 동안 처리된 시료는 7 min간 반응한 시료와 비교하여 0.3%의 근소한 세슘 제거율 차이를 보였으며, 이는 오존 기체의 반응 특성으로 인한 두 시료의 표면화학적 유사성에 기인한다. 그러나, 오존 처리된 활성탄소의 세슘 흡착 성능은 활성탄소의 비표면적 및 기공 구조도 중요하지만 표면에 도입된 산소 작용기 양이 주된 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. Cesium is a potential toxic contaminant due to its high solubility, which allows it to easily penetrate the human body and potentially induce cancer or DNA mutations. In this study, oxygen functional groups were introduced on activated carbons (ACs) by ozone treatment to enhance the cesium adsorption capacity. As the ozone treatment time increased, the oxygen content on the ACs surface increased. Subsequently, the electrostatic interaction between ACs and cesium enhanced, resulting in higher cesium ion adsorption efficiency across all samples. In particular, the sample treated with ozone for 7 minutes at an internal ozone concentration of 50000 ppm had roughly 12% greater oxygen functional group content and the highest cesium removal effectiveness (97.6%). Meanwhile, samples treated for 5 minutes showed a 0.3% cesium removal rate difference compared to those treated for 7 minutes, which was caused by the surface chemical similarity of the two samples due to the reactive characteristics of ozone gas. However, the cesium adsorption performance of ozonated activated carbon seems to be mainly influenced by the amount of oxygen functional groups introduced to the surface, although the specific surface area and pore structure of the activated carbon are also important.

The Korean Association of lnternal Medicine : Poster Session ; PS 1357 : Nephrology ; Age is the Strongest Effector for the Relationship between Estimated Glomerular filtration Rate and Coronary Artery Calcifi cation in Apparently Healthy Korean Adults

( Hyun Beom Chae ),( Eun Jung Rhee ),( Hae Jung Park ),( Min Kyung Lee ),( Won Seon Jeon ),( Se Eun Park ),( Cheol Young Park ),( Won Young Lee ),( Ki Won Oh ),( Sung Woo Park ) 대한내과학회 2014 대한내과학회 추계학술대회 Vol.2014 No.1

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major clinical problem and the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Coronary artery calcifi cation (CAC) is a potential mechanism that explains the association between renal function and cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to evaluate the association between renal function and CAC in apparently healthy Korean subjects. Methods: In 23,617 participants in the health screening program in Kangbuk Samsung Hospital health screening program from January 2010 to December 2011, estimated glomerular fi ltration rate (eGFR) was assessed by Cockcroft-Gault equation. Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) was measured by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). Subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the CKD Staging system with eGFR grade; stage 1: eGFR = 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, stage 2: eGFR 60-89 mL/ min/1.73 m2, stage 3: eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results: Mean age of the participants was 41.4 years, and mean eGFR was 103.6±21.7 mL/min/1.73 m2. Hypertension and diabetes were noted in 43.7% and 5.5% of the participants, respectively. eGFR showed weakly negative but signifi cant association with CACS in bivariate correlation analysis (r=-0.076, p<0.01). Mean CACS signifi cantly increased from CKD stage 1 to 3. The proportion of subjects who had CAC signifi cantly increased from CKD stage 1 to 3. Although odds ratio for CAC signifi cantly increased from stage 1 to 3 after adjustment for confounding factors, this signifi cance was inversed when age was included in the model. Age was the strongest factor that affects CAC. Conclusions: This study performed in young Korean subjects with relatively normal renal function, age was the mostly strongest effector on the association between eGFR and the degree of CAC.
