Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide sex-matched three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape models of the mandible, which would provide cephalometric parameters for 3D treatment planning and cephalometric measurements in orthognathic surgery. Materials and Methods: The subjects used to create the 3D shape models of the mandible included 23 males and 23 females. The mandibles were segmented semi-automatically from 3D facial CT images. Each individual mandible shape was reconstructed as a 3D surface model, which was parameterized to establish correspondence between different individual surfaces. The principal component analysis (PCA) applied to all mandible shapes produced a mean model and characteristic models of variation. The cephalometric parameters were measured directly from the mean models to evaluate the 3D shape models. The means of the measured parameters were compared with those from other conventional studies. The male and female 3D statistical mean models were developed from 23 individual mandibles, respectively. Results: The male and female characteristic shapes of variation produced by PCA showed a large variability included in the individual mandibles. The cephalometric measurements from the developed models were very close to those from some conventional studies. Conclusion: We described the construction of 3D mandibular shape models and presented the application of the 3D mandibular template in cephalometric measurements. Optimal reference models determined from variations produced by PCA could be used for craniofacial patients with various types of skeletal shape.

<P>A Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, β-glucosidase-producing lactic acid bacterium, designated strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP>, was isolated from the Korean fermented food, Kimchi, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> was able to grow at 4–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 4.0–7.0 (optimum, pH 6.0). Strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> had the ability to transform ginsenoside Rb<SUB>1</SUB> to Rd. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity data, strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> was shown to belong to the genus <I>Lactobacillus</I>. Strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> was related to <I>Lactobacillus koreensis</I> DCY50<SUP>T</SUP> (98.8 % sequence similarity), <I>Lactobacillus parabrevis</I> LMG 11984<SUP>T</SUP> (97.7 %), <I>Lactobacillus senmaizukei</I> L13<SUP>T</SUP> (97.5 %), <I>Lactobacillus hammesii</I> TMW1.1236<SUP>T</SUP> (97.3 %) and <I>Lactobacillus brevis</I> ATCC 14687<SUP>T</SUP> (97.2 %). Subsequently, sequence analysis of the RNA polymerase alpha subunit gene (<I>rpoA</I>) confirmed that strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> showed a maximum <I>rpoA</I> gene sequence similarity value of 93 % with <I>Lactobacillus brevis</I> LMG 6906<SUP>T</SUP>. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.8 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> and <I>Lactobacillus parabrevis</I> DCY50<SUP>T</SUP> and <I>Lactobacillus parabrevis</I> LMG 11984<SUP>T</SUP> were 46.1±4.9 % and 10.6±2.9 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were summed feature 7 (comprised of C<SUB>19 : 0</SUB> cyclo ω10<I>c</I>/19ω6), C<SUB>14 : 0</SUB>, C<SUB>16 : 0</SUB> and C<SUB>18 : 1</SUB>ω9<I>c</I>. The cell wall peptidoglycan was of the A4α <SMALL>l</SMALL>-Lys–<SMALL>d</SMALL>-Asp type. The phenotypic and molecular properties indicated that strain THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> represents a novel species within the genus <I>Lactobacillus</I>, for which the name <I>Lactobacillus</I> <I>yonginensis</I> sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THK-V8<SUP>T</SUP> ( = KACC 16236<SUP>T</SUP> = JCM 18023<SUP>T</SUP>).</P>
Planck Cold Clumps in the <i>λ</i> Orionis Complex. II. Environmental Effects on Core Formation
Yi, Hee-Weon,Lee, Jeong-Eun,Liu, Tie,Kim, Kee-Tae,Choi, Minho,Eden, David,II, Neal J. Evans,Francesco, James Di,Fuller, Gary,Hirano, N.,Juvela, Mika,Kang, Sung-ju,Kim, Gwanjeong,M. Koch, Patrick,Lee, American Astronomical Society 2018 The Astrophysical journal, Supplement series Vol.236 No.2
<P>Based on the 850 mu m dust continuum data from SCUBA-2 at James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), we compare overall properties of Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) in the lambda Orionis cloud to those of PGCCs in the Orion A and B clouds. The Orion A and B clouds are well-known active star-forming regions, while the A Orionis cloud has a different environment as a consequence of the interaction with a prominent OB association and a giant H-II region. PGCCs in the lambda Orionis cloud have higher dust temperatures (T-d = 16.13 +/- 0.15 K) and lower values of dust emissivity spectral index (beta = 1.65 +/- 0.02) than PGCCs in the Orion A (T-d = 13.79 +/- 0.21 K, beta = 2.07 +/- 0.03) and Orion B (T-d = 13.82 +/- 0.19 K, beta =1.96 +/- 0.02) clouds. We find 119 substructures within the 40 detected PGCCs and identify them as cores. Out of a total of 119 cores, 15 cores are discovered in the lambda Orionis cloud, while 74 and 30 cores are found in the Orion A and B clouds, respectively. The cores in the lambda Orionis cloud show much lower mean values of size R = 0.08 pc, column density N(H-2) (9.5 +/- 1.2) x 10(22)cm(-2) , number density n(H-2) - (2.9 +/- 0.4) x 10 5 CM -3 , and mass M-core = 1.0 +/- 0.3 M(circle dot)compared to the cores in the Orion A [R = 0.11 pc, N(H-2) = (2.3 +/- 0.3) x 10(23) cm(-2), n(H-2) = (3.8 +/- 0.5) x 10(5)cm(-3) , and M-core = 2.4 +/- 0.3 M-circle dot] and Orion B [R = 0.16 pc, N(H-2) (3.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(23) cm(-2), n(H-2) = (15.6 +/- 1.8) x 10(5) cm(-3) , and M-core = 2.7 +/- 0.3 M-circle dot] clouds. These core properties in the A Orionis cloud can be attributed to the photodissociation and external heating by the nearby H rr region, which may prevent the PGCCs from forming gravitationally bound structures and eventually disperse them. These results support the idea of negative stellar feedback on core formation.</P>

BACKGROUND: Potassium (K) is one of the macronutrients which are essential for plant growth and development. Its deficiency in paddy soils is becoming one of the limiting factors for increasing rice yield in Asia. METHODS AND RESULTS: To investigate physiological symptoms under K-starvation (NP) compared with complete media (NPK) condition, we measured shoot/root length, weight, nutrients, and patterns of protein expression. The shoot growth was significantly reduced, but root growth was not affected by K-starvation. However, biomasses were decreased in both shoot and root. Uptake of K was reduced up to 85%, while total concentrations of P, Ca, Mg, Na were increased in root and shoot. To better understand the starved K mechanism of rice, comparative proteome analysis for proteins isolated from rice leaves was conducted using 2-DGE. Five spots of differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. Analysis of these K-starvation response proteins suggested that they were involved in metabolism and defense. CONCLUSION(s): Physiological and 2-DGE based proteomics approach used in our study results in observation of morphology or nutrients change and identification of K-starvation responsive proteins in rice root. These results have important roles in maintaining nutrient homeostasis and would also be useful for further characterization of protein function in plant K nutrition.
