Fungi belonging to the Paecilomyces spp. have recently been used as food and herbal medicines in Korea and are greatly popular as commercially available powdered supplement or dried fruiting body. Despite this acceptance and its use, little is known of the genes related to its reactive agents. Presently, We have constructed an olig-d(T) primed directional cDNA library from the silkworm Dongchunghacho, an entomopathogenic fungus, of which species is belonging to Paecilomyces spp. based on the previous identification of ITS1 and ITS2 at the molecular level and collected from Jocheon Miryang, Korea. To isolate and screen genes in the fungus, 626 expressed sequence tags(ESTs) were generated by a partial sequencing from the cDNA library. cDNA encoding the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(Pt-GAPDH) of Paecilomyces tenuipes- Jocheon was cloned from the above cDNA library. The complete cDNA sequence of Pt-GAPDH is comprised of 1,014bp encoding 338 amino acid residues. The deduced protein sequence of Pt-GAPDH showed higher homology with Beauberia bassiana-GAPDH(93% amino acid identity). Hydropathy analysis revealed that Pt-GAPDH protein is hydrophilic. The major three amino acids in its composition of amino acid residues were alanine(11.54%), valine(9.47%) and glycine(8.88%). The Pt-GAPDH gene of Paecilomyces tenuipes entomopathogenic fungus consisted of three exons and two introns coding for 338 amino acid residues, and the genomic DNA length of the gene spans 1302bp. The accession number of the gene in GenBank are GU997099 for Pt-GAPDH cDNA and GU997102 for Pt-GAPDH genomic DNA. More investigation works including gene expression, immunological analysis etc. will be carried continuously without hesitation after this presentation.

This study utilized a body-part picture naming task (HALA - Hawaii Assessment of Language Access) to assess the proficiencies and dominance of Korean and English from 20 Korean college students. Their accuracy and response time were gauged to show the correlation between language proficiency and vocabulary response time. The results of this study suggest that lexical accessibility can be used as a legitimate reflection of a speaker's overall language proficiency and thus, the potential of utilizing the HALA project as a simple and convenient tool for future related research should be seriously considered.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of myocardial injuries in patients with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage by identifying the occurrence of myocardial injury and defining its correlation with subsequent cardiovascular events. Subjects and methods: One hundred twenty-four patients with nontraumatic intracraninal hemorrhage presented to the emergency department within six hours from onset of symptoms were enrolled. Brain CT, serial electrocardiography, and echocardiography were done at the emergency center. Blood samples for troponin I and creatine kinase(CK)-MB were drawn immediately and eight hours after admission, Troponin I and CK-MB were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay, respectively. Results: Electrocardiographic and echocardiography abnormalities were found in 65 cases(52.4%) and 21 cases(17%), respectively. Serum troponin I and creative kinase-MB were increased in 35 cases (28.2%) and in 58 cases(46.8%), respectively. Abnormal findings of echocardiography and ECG, as well as elevated levels of serum troponin I and creative kinase-MB, were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular event and survival. Logistic regression analysis revealed that an abnormal echcocardiographic finding and elevation of serum troponin I were factors associated with the occurrence an adverse cardiovascular event and that electrocardiographic abnormalities and initial mental status were factors associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion: This study reveals that actual myocardial injury develops in a significant proportion of patients with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and that the development of the myocardial injury is associated with an adverse cardiovascular event that occurs during admission.

구동환,하상우,조수현,박기문,김동운,강국희 성균관대학교 생명과학자원연구소 1997 生命資源科學硏究 Vol.4 No.1

The objectives of this study were to investigate the optimal condition for growth and highly concenterated culture of Bifidobacterium longum (Bif longum). The effects of additives were compared with titratable acidity and viable cell counts, and 10% reconstituted skim milk (no additive) was used as a control. Correlation coefficient for the growth of Bif. longun between CO_2 anaerobic jar method and overalaid medium method was R=0.99. When 1% Bif. longurn was inoculated on 12%, 14%, and 16% reconstituted skim-milk, viable cell counts were 8.60, 8.89, and 8.93 Log CFU/ml, respectively. When Lactose, Glucose, Glucosamine, Fructose, Peptone, N-acethyl-D-glucosamine, D-galactose, and liver extract were added to 16% reconstituted skim-milk, the viable cell counts were 8.61, 9.05, 9.15, 9.24, 8.82, 9.75, 9.17, and 9.64 Log CFU/ml, respectively. Therefore, D-galactose, liver extract, and N-acethyl-D-glucosamine were selected as final additives. When Bif longum was inoculated on Fermentor-I (16% reconstituted skim milk containing 0.1% yeast extract, 0.5% D-galactose and 0.5% liver extract), Fermentor-II (16% reconstituted skim milk containing 0.190% yeast extract, 0.590% N-acethyl-D-glucosamine and 0.5% liver extract), Batch culture-I (16% reconstituted skim milk containing 0.1% yeast extract, 0.5% D-galactose and 0.5% liver extract), and Batch culture-II (16% reconstituted skim milk containing 0.1% yeast extract, 0.5% N-acethyl-D-glucosamine and 0.5% liver extract), viable cell counts were 10.46, 9.37, 9.03, and 8.83 Log CFU/ml, respectively. Although liver extract was the important additive for the highly concentrated culture of Bif. longum in this study, it caused serious off-flavor when liver extract-1 (contained cell mass) was added to Fermentor culture. However, flavor was improved when liver extract-2 which was removed cell mass, was used instead of liver extract-1. Addition of 2% liver extract-II and 1% D-galactose had the similar effect with addition of 0.5% Liver extract-I and 0.5% D-galactose on the growth of Bif. longum.

영어 이중목적어 구문 구사 시 한국 고등학교 영어 교사들의 담화원칙 적용 양태

In this paper, Korean high school English teachers’ use of English dative constructions is compared with that of English native speakers, especially focusing on how the given-before-new(GN) discourse principle is applied. A written elicited production task with six dative verbs presented in each of the given-theme and ivenrecipient conditions was provided to the participants in order to probe how the two objects are aligned in English dative constructions. The results showed that Korean teachers tend to instantiate the GN order more in prepositional datives than in double object datives. This result suggests that besides their knowledge about the GN discourse principle, other factors such as the difference of difficulty in acquiring the prepositional datives and double object datives might be in play. A more in-depth research with more Korean participants at varying different English proficiency levels is required to investigate how the GN discourse principle might be instantiated by Korean learners of English.

Sol-Gel방법에 의해서 성장시킨PbTiO₃박막의 결정화와 물리적 성질

Ferroelectric PbTiO3 thin films coated on SiO2/Si(100) and ITO glass substrates were prepared by sol-gel processing of metal alkoxide solutions and solvents. The use of sol-gel method for preparing various functional films makes it possible for the homogeneous distribution of elements at the molecular level, precise composition control, lower temperature synthesis, large surface coating and high optical quality. First of all, the XRD investigation shows that perovskite phase of polycrystalline PbTiO3 was formed by four times coating of the concentrated solution and by the heat treatment over 500, 600℃(O2 gas and air) and over 10, 20, 30 min. Surfaces of thin films were crack-free and uniform and the average grain size investigated by SEM was 0.25∼1.00 ㎛. Dielectric constant of PbTiO3/ITO glass thin film were 380 ∼ 5.25 in the region of 1 kHz∼ 10 MHz at room temperature(30℃), respectively. From the hysteresis loop of PbTiO3/ITO glass thin film, a remnant polarization of 0.382 μC/cm2 and a coercive filed of 23.85 kV/cm were obtained. At the frequency(5 kHz), C-V measurements of films in MFIS and MFM configurations showed well-behaved C-V characteristics and an injection type hysteresis. The capacitance of flat band(CFB) was 60 pF. The band gap energies of the thin films depend on the assumption of direct or indirect transition. Using one layer structure model, we calculated refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and band gap energy of thin film in the wavelength range of 300 to 800 nm. The band gap energy, refractive index and extinction coefficient at λ = 6325 Å of the PbTiO3 thin film were 3.7 eV, 1.96 and 0.1 respectively.

호르텐스극구흡충 성충 (adult worm)을 재료로 하여 acid phosphatase (Acp)와 alkaline phosphatase (Alp)의 조직 세포에 대한 분포 및 동위효소의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 Gomori lead nitrate 및 Gomori calcium 방법 그리고 전기영동법 등을 시행하였다. 조직 내의 Acp 및 Alp의 분포는 충체의 소장 (intestine)과 난황선 (vitellaria) 그리고 인두 (pharynx)에서 강한 반응을 나타냈다. 동위효소 유형은 Acp에서 179.5 및 209.4 kDa 두 개의 분획이 분리되었고, Alp은 145.9, 207.5 및 220.8 kDa의 세 개의 분획이 분리되었다. 열에 대한 안정도는 Alp가 90℃에서 12초 경과 후에 완전히 불활성화 되었으며, Alp의 최적 온도 및 pH는 40℃와 pH 9이었고 Acp의 최적 pH는 5였다. 그리고 Acp 및 Alp의 최대활성도 (unit)는 Acp가 71 범위였고, Alp는 189의 범위에 있었다. 이상에서와 같이 호르텐스극구흡충은 phosphatase가 소화관과 난황선에서 주로 분포하고 있었으며 숙주 체내에서 소화관을 중심으로 대사가 활발하게 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. This study was aimed to investigate the enzyme-histochemical localization and characteristics of alkaline and acid phosphatase extracted from adult of Echinostoma hortense. Using the Gomori calcium stain and the Gomori lead nitrate satin method, we found that the alkaline and acid phosphatases were localized mostly in the intestine, vitellaria and pharynx of Echinostoma hortense. The three isozymes of alkaline phosphatase and two isozymes of acid phosphatase were separated from Echinostoma hortense by electrophoresis. The isozymes of alkaline phosphatase were 145.9, 207.5, 220.8 kDa and the isozymes of acid phosphatase were 175.9 and 209.4 kDa. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was denatured completely after heating at 90℃ for 12 seconds. The optimum pH and temperature for activity of alkaline phosphatase were about pH 9 and 40℃, while the optimum pH for activity of acid phosphatase was about pH 5. The maximum activity of alkaline phosphatase was at 189 unit, but maximum activity of acid phosphatase was at 71 unit. As the result from above, we observed that alkaline and acid phosphatases funtion mainly in the alimentary tract and vitellaria. Echinostoma hortense performs the parasitism in the intestine of host by using proper isozyme of phosphatase.
