정상' 배추와 '서울' 배추의 배축절편을 선발마커로서 hygromycin 저항성유전자를 갖고 있는 pCAMBIA1301와 paromomycin저항성유전자를 갖고 있는 pPTN290으로 각각 형질 전환된 LBA4404 또는 EHA101균주와 공동배양한 후 선발배지에서 배양하면서 형질전환체를 선발하였다. 형질전환빈도는 사용된 항생제와 품종에 따라서 현저하게 차이가 있었으며, 특히 paromomycin은 hygromycin보다 효과적이었고 정상 배추는 서울배추보다 양호하였다. 가장 높은 형질전환빈도는 (0.70%) 100mg/L paromomycin이 첨가된 선발배지에서 정상배추의배축을 배양할 경우 얻어졌다. GUS양성반응으로 확인 한 결과 정상배추에서 9개체와 서울배추에서 3개체를 각각 얻었으며, 온실에서 생장한 후 $T_1$종자를 수확하였다. $T_1$ 종자를 다시 발아시켜 유식물체를 얻은 후 GUS양성반응을 확인함으로서 외래유전자가 안정적으로 발현하고 있음을 확인하였다. Hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (us. 'Jeong Sang' and 'Seoul') produced adventitious shoots on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 4mg/L $AgNO_3$, 5 mg/L acetosyringone, 4 mg/L 6-benzyladenine and 3mg/L alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (SI) after cocoultivation with strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (LBA4404) harboring the pCAMBIA1301 and the $_PPTN290$ containing hygromycin-resistance gene and paromomycin-resistance gene as a selectable marker genes, respectively. There was a significant difference in the frequency of transgenic plants depending on antibiotics and cultivars used. Paromomycin was better than hygromycin, and cultivar 'Jeong-sang' was higher than 'c.v. Seoul' in the frequency of transgenic plants. In particular, the highest frequency (0.70%) of transgenic plants was obtained from selection medium (SI) containing 100mg/L paromomycin in c.v., 'Jeong-sang' GUS positive response were obtained 9 plants and 3 plants from the cultivars, 'Jeong-sang' and 'Seoul', respectively. They were grown to maturity in a greenhouse and normally produced $T_1$ seeds. GUS histochemical assay for progeny $(T_1)$ revealed that the transgenes were expressed in the plant genome.

'정상' 배추의 배축절편을 선발마커로서 paromomycin 저항 성유전자를 갖고 있는 pPTN290으로 각각 형질전환된 EHA101, LBA4404, GV3101균주와 공동배양한 후 갤러스유도배지에서 형질전환캘러스를 얻은 후, 뿌리유도배지에서 부정근을 그리고 신초유도배지에서 신초를 각각 순차적으로 유도하였다. 형질전환캘러스를 얻은 후, 뿌리유도배지에서 부정근을 그리고 신초유도배지에서 신초를 가각 순차적으로 유도하였다. 형질전환캘러스 형성은 Agrobacterium균주에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 특히 EHA101균주에 공동배양된 배축절편으로부터 최대 6.1%까지 얻어졌다. 또한 각각의 형질전환캘러스 클론으로부터 형질전환 부정근과 신초 발생은 EHA101균주에서 60.7%와 38.2%, LBA4404에서 8.3%와 0%, GV3101에서 20.5%와 85.7%까지 각각 얻을 수 있었다. 형질전환식물체는 특별한 형태적 이상 없이 온실에서 정상적으로 자라 $T_{2}$종자를 얻을 수 있었다. GUS방법으로 7개의 후대 유식물체를 분석한 결과 gus유전자가 안정적으로 발현하고 있음을 확인하였고, 배추 genome에 single 또는 multiple copy로 전달되고 있음을 추측할 수 있었다. Hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (cvs. "Jeong Sang") produced transgenic calli on callus induction medium (MS salt, B5 vitamin, 5 mg/L acetosyringone, 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 3% sucrose, 400 mg/L cefotaxime, 100 mg/L paromomycin, pH 5.8) after cocultivation with strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (EHA101, LBA4404, GV3101) harboring the pPTN290 containing paromomycin-resistance gene as a selectable marker, and then they transferred to root induction medium (1/2MS salt, MS vitamins, 2% sucrose, 100 mg/L paromomycin, 100 mg/L cefotaxime, pH 5.8) and shoot induction medium (MS salt, B5 vitamin, 4 mg/L $AgNO_3$, 4 mg/L 6-benzyladenine, 3 mg/L alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid, 100 mg/L paromomycin, 100 mg/L cefotaxime, 3% sucrose, pH 5.8) in order. There was a significant difference in the frequency of transgenic calli depending on Agrobacterium strains. In particular, the highest frequency (6.1%) of transgenic calli was obtained from the hypocotyls cocultivated with EHA101 strains. Also, the frequency (%) of transgenic root and plants from each transgenic callus clone were obtained with 60.7% and 38.2% in EHA101, with 8.3% and 0% in LBA4404, with 20.5% and 85.7% in GV3101 strains, respectively. They were grown to maturity in a greenhouse and normally produced $T_2$ seeds. GUS histochemical assay for progeny ($T_2$) revealed that the transgenes was expressed in the plant genome, and progeny analysis from 7 independent transgenic events demonstrated that the transformants transmitted the transgene as a single or multiple functional locus.

이 연구에서는 폐종양의 정량적 개선을 위하여 분자체를 이용하여 내부 움직임을 측정하고 평가된 데이터를 기반으로 소동물 PET 영상내의 폐종양을 국소화하고자 하였다. 소동물 폐 영역의 내부 움직임은 방사성물질을 흡착한 분자체를 이용하여 소동물 폐 영역에 부착함으로써 구현하였다. 폐 영역의 내부 움직임 표적으로 사용된 분자체는 약 37 kBq의 Cu-64를 흡착시켜 폐종양을 모사하였다. 소동물 PET 영상은 Siemens Inveon 스캐너를 이용하여 획득하였으며 외부 움직임 데이터는 트리거 생성 장치인 BioVet을 이용하였다. SD-Rat PET 영상은 $^{18}F$-FDG 37 MBq/0.2 mL을 미정맥으로 주사하고 60분 후 20분간 데이터를 획득하였다. 리스트모드 데이터의 각 선응답은 외부 트리거 장치에 의해 획득된 트리거신호를 이용하여 2 bin에서 16 bin으로 사이노그램을 획득하였다. 획득된 사이노그램 데이터는 OSEM 2D 알고리즘을 이용하여 4회의 반복으로 재구성하였다. 종양의 정량적 분석을 위한 PET 영상은 종양을 묘사한 분자체 영역에 관심영역을 설정하고 계수와 SNR 그리고 FWHM을 이용하여 평가하였다. 움직임 표적으로 사용된 분자체의 크기는 $1.59{\times}2.50mm$이었으며, 기준 영상으로 획득한 체외 분자체 수직 및 수평 FWHM은 $2.91{\times}1.43mm$이었다. 정적영상과 4 bin 그리고 8 bin 영상에서의 수직 FWHM은 각각 3.90 mm, 3.74 mm, 3.16 mm이었으며 수평 FWHM은 각각 2.21 mm, 2.06 mm, 1.60 mm이었다. 정적영상, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin 그리고 16 bin의 계수 값은 각각 4.10, 4.83, 5.59, 5.38, 5.31이었다. 정적영상, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin 그리고 16 bin의 SNR은 4.18, 4.05, 4.22, 3.89, 3.58이었다. FWHM은 게이트 수의 증가에 따라 계속 향상됨을 확인하였다. 그러나 계수 값과 SNR은 게이트 수의 증가에 따라 계속 향상되지 않고 특정 bin 수에서 가장 높은 값을 보여 소동물 폐 영역에서의 종양 영상화시 SNR의 손실을 최소화하면서 향상된 계수 값을 얻을 수 있는 게이트 수를 획득하였다. 내부 움직임 측정은 최적화된 종양 국소화 영상을 획득할 수 있으며 외부 움직임 모니터링 시스템을 사용하지 않고 장기별 움직임 예측 모델링을 위한 유용한 방법이 될 것으로 기대된다. The purpose of this study was to estimate internal motion using molecular sieve for quantitative improvement of lung tumor and to localize lung tumor in the small animal PET image by evaluated data. Internal motion has been demonstrated in small animal lung region by molecular sieve contained radioactive substance. Molecular sieve for internal lung motion target was contained approximately 37 kBq Cu-64. The small animal PET images were obtained from Siemens Inveon scanner using external trigger system (BioVet). SD-Rat PET images were obtained at 60 min post injection of FDG 37 MBq/0.2 mL via tail vein for 20 min. Each line of response in the list-mode data was converted to sinogram gated frames (2~16 bin) by trigger signal obtained from BioVet. The sinogram data was reconstructed using OSEM 2D with 4 iterations. PET images were evaluated with count, SNR, FWHM from ROI drawn in the target region for quantitative tumor analysis. The size of molecular sieve motion target was $1.59{\times}2.50mm$. The reference motion target FWHM of vertical and horizontal was 2.91 mm and 1.43 mm, respectively. The vertical FWHM of static, 4 bin and 8 bin was 3.90 mm, 3.74 mm, and 3.16 mm, respectively. The horizontal FWHM of static, 4 bin and 8 bin was 2.21 mm, 2.06 mm, and 1.60 mm, respectively. Count of static, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin and 16 bin was 4.10, 4.83, 5.59, 5.38, and 5.31, respectively. The SNR of static, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin and 16 bin was 4.18, 4.05, 4.22, 3.89, and 3.58, respectively. The FWHM were improved in accordance with gate number increase. The count and SNR were not proportionately improve with gate number, but shown the highest value in specific bin number. We measured the optimal gate number what minimize the SNR loss and gain improved count when imaging lung tumor in small animal. The internal motion estimation provide localized tumor image and will be a useful method for organ motion prediction modeling without external motion monitoring system.

Min-Jeong Kim,Sunhyun Park,Ran-Sook Lee,Sang-Dong Lim,Hyo Jin Kim,Myung-Ki Lee 한국축산식품학회 2014 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.34 No.1

This study is executed to develop probiotics which produce S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), a methyl group donor of the5-methyltetrahydrofolate methylation reaction within the animal cell. SAM is an essential substance for the synthesis, acti-vation, and metabolism of hormones, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, phospholipids, and cell membranes of animals. TheSAM is also known as a nutritional supplement to improve brain functions of the human. In this study, the SAM-producingstrains are identified in 18 types of salted fish, and then, the strains with excellent SAM productions are being identified,with 1 strain in the Enterococcus genus and 9 strains in the Bacillus genus. Strains with a large amount of SAM productioninclude the lactic acid bacteria such as En. faecium and En. durans, En. sanguinicola, as well as various strains in the Bacil-lus genus. The SAM-overproducing strains show antibacterial activities with certain harmful microbes in addition to theweak acid resistances and strong bile resistances, indicating characteristics of probiotics. It is possible that the jeotgal-orig-inated beneficial strains with overproducing SAM can be commercially utilized in order to manufacture SAM enrichedfoods.

Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P>Objective: To investigate the neonatal outcomes of twin pregnancies delivered at late-preterm versus term gestation based on chorionicity and indication for delivery.Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of women with twin pregnancies delivered at ≥34 weeks of gestation from 1995 to 2014. Subjects were categorized into two groups according to gestational age at delivery: late-preterm group (34–36 weeks) and term group (≥37 weeks). Neonatal outcome measures including neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, mechanical ventilator support, and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were compared between the late-preterm and term group based on chorionicity (monochorionic or dichorionic) and delivery indication (elective or non-elective).Results: A total of 1198 twin pregnancies were included in the study: 679 in the late-preterm group and 519 in the term group. Late-preterm twin infants had higher rates of NICU admission, mechanical ventilator support, and RDS than did term twin infants, regardless of the chorionicity and indication for delivery. In the multivariable analysis, late-preterm birth, monochorionicity, and non-elective delivery were independently associated with a significantly higher risk of NICU admission and mechanical ventilator support.Conclusion: The late-preterm birth was associated with a higher risk of adverse neonatal outcome regardless of chorionicity and indication for delivery, and showed significantly increased risk by monochorionicity and non-elective delivery.

Recently, the isolation rate of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in clinical laboratories and the incidence of NTM infections are on the increase in Korea, but there have been only a few studies that reveal the general aspect of NTM isolation or species distribution. Therefore, this study was performed to examine the species identification by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PRA, PCR-RFLP), and the clinical significance of mycobacterial cultures. PRA was used during the novel region of the rpoB gene and was developed for rapid and precise identification of mycobacteria to the species level. From January 2012 to April 2012, we examined pre-identified nontuberculous mycobacteria (60 species in 3 hospital of Busan-Kyeongnam area). We confirmed 4 (6.6%) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and 56 (93.4%) NTM from 60 pre-identified NTM species by multiplex PCR (MolecuTech MTB-IDR V3, YD Diagnostics, Korea) and PRA (Myco-ID, YD Diagnostics, Korea). The distribution of 56 NTM species were M. intracellulare type I 15 (26.7%), M. avium 14 (25%), M. abscessus 11 (19.5%), M. kansasii type I 3 (5.4%), M. pulveris 2 (3.6%), M. intracellulare type, M. chelonae, M. kansasii type V, M. gallinarum, M. wolinskyi. Respectively, 1 (1.8%) and 6 (10.7%) species were not identified.
