<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The RB-E2F1 pathway is an important mechanism of cell-cycle control, and deregulation of this pathway is one of the key factors contributing to tumorigenesis. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and Cyclin D have been known to increase in aggressive thyroid cancer. However, there has been no study to investigate effects of a selective CDK 4/6 inhibitor, Ribociclib (LEE011), in thyroid cancer. Performing Western blotting, we found that RB phosphorylation and the expression of Cyclin D are significantly higher in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cell lines as well as anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cell lines, compared with normal thyroid cell line and follicular thyroid cancer cell line. LEE011 dose-dependently inhibited RB phosphorylation and also decreased the expressions of its target genes such as <I>FOXM1, Cyclin A1,</I> and <I>Myc</I> in ATC. Furthermore, LEE011 induced cell cycle arrest in G0-G1 phase and cell apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation in ATC. Consistently, oral administration of LEE011 to ATC xenograft models strongly inhibited tumor growth with decreased expressions of pRB, pAKT and Ki-67, and also significantly increased tumor cell apoptosis. Taken together, our data support the rationale for clinical development of the CDK4/6 inhibitor as a therapy for patients with aggressive thyroid cancer.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> pRB and Cyclin D were expressed high in aggressive thyroid cancer. </LI> <LI> LEE011 suppressed pRB and also decreased the expressions of its target genes in ATC. </LI> <LI> LEE011 induced cell cycle G1 arrest and apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation. </LI> <LI> LEE011 inhibited in vivo tumor growth with decreased expressions of pRB and Ki-67. </LI> <LI> We could explain the anticancer effects with the RB-E2F pathway. </LI> </UL> </P>

본 연구에서는 교대로 운전되는 두 개의 UV/광촉매 반응기로 구성된 폐가스 처리시스템의 운전단계와 단계별 광촉매의 비활성화의 상관관계를 사용된 광촉매에 대한 기기분석을 통하여 규명하였다. 선행연구[Lee와 Lim, Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583 (2021)]의 광촉매 반응기 시스템 운전에 사용되지 않은 광촉매를 담지한 다공성 SiO₂ 담체(A4), 1회 운전하는 동안 사용되고 재생을 경험하지 않은 광촉매를 담지한 다공성 SiO₂ 담체(A1), 2회 운전에 사용되고 1회 재생된 광촉매를 담지한 다공성 SiO₂ 담체(A2) 및 3회 운전에 사용되고 2회 재생된 광촉매를 담지한 다공성SiO₂ 담체(A3)와, 1차 재생(AD1) 또는 3차 재생(AD3)된 광촉매를 담지한 다공성 SiO₂ 담체에 대한 BET 분석, SEM, XPS, SEM-EDS 및 FTIR 분석 등을 수행하여, 광촉매를 담지한 다공성 SiO₂ 담체의 비활성화 및 재생 특성을 포함하는 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과로서, 3회 이상의 여러 번 재생을 수행하는 광촉매의 적정 재생 온도를 200℃ 미만으로 도출하였다. 이러한 광촉매의 적정 재생 온도는 BET 분석결과에서 도출된 기공에 흡착된 에탄올 산화분해 중간생성물의 대부분이 완전 분해가 되어 기공이 재생되는 재생 온도와 거의 일치하였다. 특히, XPS 분석 결과는, 선행 연구[Lee와 Lim, Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583 (2021)]에서 광촉매 반응기의 첫 번째 운전 후에 광촉매의 미세한 비활성화가 발생하였음을 나타내었다. 또한, XPS 분석 결과는, 선행연구[Lee와 Lim, Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583 (2021)]에서 광촉매 반응기의 두 번째 운전에서 비교적 큰 광촉매의 비활성화가 발생하여 첫번째 운전성능보다 약 5%만큼 못 미치는 에탄올과 황화수소 각각의 제거효율을 초래하였으나, 세 번째 운전에서의 에탄올과 황화수소의 제거효율은 두 번째 운전에서의 에탄올과 황화수소의 제거효율 실험 결과와 거의 비슷하였다는 연구 결과와 일치하였다. 한편, AD3를 사용하여 선행연구[Lee와 Lim, Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583 (2021)]에서와 같은 광촉매 반응기의 네 번째 운전을 수행할 것을 가정하면, 두 번째 운전에서보다 더 큰 광촉매의 비가역적 비활성화의 발생으로 인하여 에탄올과 황화수소 제거효율이 가장 크게 저하되리라 예상되었다. In this study, the correlation between operating stages of waste air-treating system composed of two alternatively-operating UV/photocatalytic reactors, and the deactivation of photocatalyst used in each operating stage, was investigated by instrumental analysis thereon. The repeated deactivation and subsequent re-generation of photocatalyst used in the waste air treating system of previous investigation performed by Lee and Lim (Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583(2021)), were characterized on virgin photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media (A4), used photocatalystcarrying porous SiO₂ media (A1, A2 and A3) collected from the corresponding photocatalytic reactor upon 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd run, respectively, regenerated photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media upon 1 time-run (AD1) and 3 times regenerated photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media upon 3 time-runs (AD3) by instrumental analysis including BET analysis, SEM, XPS, SEM-EDS and FT-IR. As a result, the proper regeneration-temperature for deactivated photocatalyst to be regenerated several times (more than 3 times), was suggested below 200℃. Such temperature of deactivated photocatalystregeneration was almost consistent to the one, according to BET analysis, at which tiny nano-pores blocked by adsorbed ethanol-oxidative and degraded intermediates (AEODI), were regenerated to be reopened through almost complete mineralization of AEODI. In particular, the results of XPS analysis indicated an incurrence of insignificant deactivation of photocatalysis upon 1^st run of UV/photocatalytic reactor (A or C) of the previous investigation. In addition, the results of XPS analysis were consistent with the experimental results of the previous investigation in that 1) deactivation of photocatalyst incurred during 2^nd run of the UV/photocatalytic reactor (A or C) resulted in decreased removal efficiency, by ca. 5% and 5%, of ethanol and hydrogen sulfide, respectively, compared with its 1^st run; 2) there was insignificant difference between the removal efficiencies of its 2^nd run and 3^rd run. Furthermore, the removal efficiencies of ethanol and hydrogen sulfide for hypothetical 4^th run of photocatalytic reactor in the previous investigation, using AD3, were expected to decrease, compared with its 3^rd run, by much more than those for 2^nd run in the previous investigation did, compared with its 1^st run.

objective : This study investigated the significance of anti-β₂ glycoprotein-Ⅰ(β₂GPI) antibody in antiphospholipid syndrome from the results of the relationship between the antiphospholipid antibody test and the anti-β₂GPI antibody test. Methods : The IgM, IgG type of the anti-β₂GPI antibody was tested by ELISA in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome or those who were suspected of having antiphospholipid syndrome and compared with the anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant results. As a control, the anti-β₂GPI antibody was tested in 12 normal healthy persons and 8 systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Results : In 6 patients with antiphospholipid syndrome, the positive rate of lupus anticoagulant, IgM and IgG anticardiolipin antibody was 33%, 50%, and 67%. However, the positive rate of the IgM and IgG anti-β₂GPI antibody test was 83%, 100%. Among the 6 patients, 3 patients were tested for the anti-β₂GPI antibody before and after treatment. In all 3 patients, the anti-β₂GPI antibody titer was lower after treatment. The anti-β₂GPI antibody test was positive in those patients suspected for having antiphospholipid syndrome, but tested negative to the anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant. In the normal and disease controls, the anti-β₂GPI antibody test was negative in all cases. Conclusion : In diagnosing antiphosphotipid syndrome. the anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant should be used as a screening test, and if necessary, an anti-β₂GPI antibody should be added. This might improve the sensitivity and specificity. Also, the anti-β₂GPI antibody titer may be used as a marker of disease activity.

Objectives : Under normal condition melanin protects the skin from extracellular stimuli including ultraviolet (UV)-induced oxidative skin damages, but excess production and accumulation of melanin can induce hyperpigmentation causing esthetic problems. Therefore, in this study we tried to search for natural skin whitening materials from marine natural resources. Methods : Water and ethanol extracts of marine natural resources were prepared from Porphyra thalli (PT), Laminariae thallus (LT), Ostreae concha (OC), Sargassum thallus (ST), Undaria thallus (UT), Codium thalli (CT), Enteromorpha thalli (ET), Syngnathoides biaculeatus (SB), and Hippocampus coronatus (Hc). Their effects against UVB and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-induced melanogenesis were investigated based on melanin formation in B16 mouse melanoma cells. The mRNA and protein expression of enzymes involved in the melanogenic process were further examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis, respectively. Results : Water extract of Ostreae concha (OCW/E) effectively inhibited UVB and α-MSH-induced melanin production in B16 melanocytes, which seemed to be mediated by inhibition of mRNA expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1). In another experiment, ethanol extracts from Porphyra thalli (PTE/E), Laminariae thallus (LTE/E), Sargassum thallus (STE/E), Undaria thallus (UTE/E), Codium thalli (CTE/E), Syngnathoides biaculeatus (SBE/E), and Hippocampus coronatus (HcE/E) significantly suppressed UVB and α-MSH-induced melanin formation. Furthermore, ethylacetate fraction isolated form LTE/E (LTE/EEt) decreased UVB and α-MSH-elevated extracellular melanin levels via inhibition of tyrosinase protein expression. Conclutions : These results suggest that marine natural resources such as Porphyra thalli, Laminariae thallus, Ostreae concha, Sargassum thallus, Undaria thallus, Codium thalli, Syngnathoides biaculeatus and Hippocampus coronatus have anti-melanogenic effects, thereby exhibiting high potentials to be utilized as one of the ingredients for the development of new whitening functional cosmetics.

Zika virus (ZIKV), a virus mainly occurring in South America, is now globally distributed. Understanding the pathogen transmission cycle in a vector is exceptionally important in developing disease control strategies. In this study, we performed ZIKV microinjection in Aedes albopictus (Skuese), to estimate its vertical and horizontal transmission ability. The virus infection rate was confirmed by real-time qPCR in the F1 generation derived from the ZIKV-injected Ae. albopictus. The minimum infection rate (MIR) of the F1 generation was highest when they were injected with the virus at 6–12 h (MIR: 16.1) and lowest at 12–24 h (MIR: 4.7) after feeding. In the developmental stage of the F1 progeny, MIR values were 1.0, 1.3, and 6.7 in each egg, larval, and adult stage, respectively, but ZIKV was not detected in the pupa stage. Virus transmission ability was not significantly different between the collection areas (Tongyeong and Jeju). Ae. albopictus demonstrated a high venereal transmission rate of ZIKV and was detected in males (6 pool/7 pool) and females (6 pool/7 pool), confirming that ZIKV can be transmitted from infected mosquitoes to uninfected mosquitoes via mating. This is the first study of the administration of a ZIKV microinjection to Ae. albopictus in Korea and suggests a possibility of a potential mechanism for the virus to survive during adverse conditions via vertical transmission.

This study was carried out to evaluate the status of the groundwater quality for paddy fields irrigation in Korea. Water samples were collected at 130 sites throughout the country. Samples were collected at three seasons-April, July and October-in 2000. According to our survey, the groundwater was found to be suitable for irrigation purpose. Average EC was shown 0.286 dS/m. Nitrate-nitrogen and Cl^(-) concentration was 5.6 ㎎/L, 32.95 ㎎/L which satisfied the Korean Standards for Irrigation Water. Nitrate-nitrogen concentration in each province was shown as following orders: Jeju (11.17 ㎎/L) > Chungnam (8.16 ㎎/L) > Gyeongbuk (6.64 ㎎/L) > Gyounggi (5.91 ㎎/L) > Chungnam (4.95 ㎎/L) > Gyeongnam (3.91 mgk) > Jeonbuk (3.50 ㎎/L) > Jeonnam (3.27 ㎎/L) > Gangwon (2.91 ㎎/L). The concentration by sampling seasons were October (6.62 ㎎/L) > July (5.88 mg&) > April (4.78㎎/L). As the soil of Jeju Province is usually derived from volcanic ash soils mainly used for upland drops, it may influence the nitrate-nitrogen concentration of groundwater. The amount of rainfall also influence the water quality. But the COD_(Cr), were shown April (3.17㎎/L) > July (2.91 ㎎/L) > October (2.40 ㎎/L), it is highly related in the basal dose of organic matter fertilizers. This study demonstrated that groundwater quality was suitable for irrigation, but continuous monitoring is recommended for agricultural policy and developing OECD agricultural environment indicators.

이찬용,채희문,김종국 강원대학교 삼림과학연구소 2000 Journal of Forest Science Vol.16 No.-

솔잎혹파리 피해임지의 특성에 따른 수세변동을 구명하였다. 솔잎혹파리 피해도(「심), 「중), 「경))별로 구분하여 수세를 조사한 결과 피해가 심한 지역의 수목은 수세가 현저하게 약화되었으며, 수목의 임분밀도(「밀), 「중),「소」)별로 구분한 경우는 피해도와 관계없이 임분밀도가 낮은 임분에서 수목의 수세가 강하게 나타났다. 수목의 외형적 인자중 수관폭과, 흉고직경이 작은 개체에 비하여 큰 개체의 수세가 모든 임분에서 강하게 나타났다. 각 임분에서 전기저항치와 수관면적과의 관계는 피해도 「심」 임분에서는 수관면적이 13.4m2, 「중」 임분에서는 10.9m2, 「경」 임분에서는 7.9m2로 피해가 심할수록 수관면적이 넓어야 임목이 생존할 가능성이 높은 전기저항치(15kΩ이하)가 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. This study investigated tree vigor of damaged forest by Thecodiplosis japonensis Uchida et Inouye. In damaged forest by pine gall midge, the investigation result of damaged rate section(severe, moderate, light) indicated that severe stand showed higher value of electric resistance(kΩ) than that of light stand, the investigation result of tree density section(crowed, middle, little) indicated that crowed stand showed higher value of electric resistance than that of little stand(the value of electric resistance at which low reading show high vigor tree and high reading low vigor tree). The crown width and DBH(diameter of breast height) of external factors showed lower value of electric resistance than that of small size. The results of comparative between Crown area and value of electric resistance in each stand were 13.4m2 in severe stand, 10.9m2 in moderate stand and 7.9m2 in light stand. Therefore, the tree which have big crown showed low value of electric resistance(below 15kΩ)that has high possible of survial. Key word : Thecodiplosis japonensis, electric resistance, crown area
