Testis supernatant, a source of H-Y, obtained from BALB/c mice was used to immunize females of same strain. B lymphocytes of mouse producing antibodies to H-Y were fused with SP2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells and distributed to 384 wells of 96-well microtiter plates. Eighty hybridoma colonies were formed, resulting in 20.8 percent of fusion efficiency. Three strong positive wells from hybridoma colonies were selected for cloning by ELISA and two of them were also found to be positive by indirect immunofluorescence test. Twelve wells of ELISA-positive were selected after cloning and 2D45D4 clones from them were confirmed to produce monoclonal antibodies to H-Y by indirect immunofluorescence test.

Antisera to histocompatibility (H-Y) antigen were used to immunologically presume the sex of rabbit embryos. H-Y antisera were prepared in inbred SD female rat by repeated immunization of spleen cells from males of same strain. The titre of H-Y antibody in antiserum was examined by mouse sperm cytotoxicity and biological tests. Experiments applied delaying ability of development of embryos in H-Y antiserum and binding ability of FITC labelled second antibody. After culture, embryos were observed their morphological characteristics under phase contrast microscope and detected fluorescence on embryos under fluorescence microscope. After detection of fluorescence, embryos were transfered to normal medium and observed their morphological characteristics. 1. When rabbit morula were treated with H-Y antiserum only, the rate of developed and delayed embryos was 47.2 and 52.8% respectively, and the rate of non-fluorescing and fluorescing embryos was 51.4 and 48.6%, respectively. 2. When rabbit morula were cultured in H-Y antiserum followed by complement, the rate of non-fluorescing and fluorescing embryos was 53.6 and 46.4%. respectively. 3. After detection of fluorescence, the embryos were cultured in normal medium. When embryos were treated with H-Y antiserum only, the rate of arrested and developed embryos was 20.8 and 79.2% respectively. However, when embryos were treated with H-Y antiserum followed by complement, the rate of arrested and developed embryos was 42.9 and 57.1% respectively.

Catalytic properties of microporous zeolites in the synthesis of octyl glucoside from D-glucose with 1-octanol by single-step direct glucosidation

Chung, K.H.,Lee, S.J.,Lee, H.,Kim, H.,Park, Y.K.,Kim, B.H.,Jung, S.C. Elsevier 2016 Microporous and mesoporous materials Vol.233 No.-

<P>Catalytic properties of various microporous zeolites consisted of different acidic properties and pore topologies were studied in the synthesis of octyl glucoside from D-glucose with 1-octanol by single-step direct glucosidation. The influences of acidic properties and pore topologies of the zeolite catalysts were evaluated relating to the conversion of glucose and selectivities of octyl glucosides. The octyl glucosides could be synthesized conveniently by the single-step direct glucosidation through aging of reactants without further pre-treatment or additional supply of reactant. The reusability of the zeolite catalyst was evaluated to the used zeolite. The high conversion of D-glucose was obtained on H+ ion exchanged FAU (H-FAU) zeolite which has a mild acid strength. The conversion and yield were improved with increasing of acid site amount of the zeolite catalysts. H-FAU zeolite catalysts exhibited high octyl glucopyranoside selectivity owing to relatively a large pore cavity and a high concentration of mild acid sites. The selectivities of the octyl glucoside isomers were mainly depended on the differences of pore structure and concentration of acid sites of the zeolite catalysts. The zeolite used in the reaction was able to reuse through the regeneration process. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</P>

韓國人의 風疹 바이러스 血球凝集抑制抗體調査

Patwory, K.M.,金慶浩,徐俊錫,張起峰,鄭泰和 대한감염학회 1972 감염 Vol.4 No.1

The Hemagglutination-Inhibition (H-I) antibodies against rubella virus among Korean in 1972 were studied. The H-I antibody possess rate and antibody titers by age group and by area were analyzed. The data in Table's 1,2 and 3 summarize the results of H-I testing of 160 serum specimens. Age group 16~20 and 31~40 gives somewhat higher positiveness than the other age group. The age group 1 year has the lowest positivity. This interaction may be also significant due to a certain extent of different type of titers with titer 1 : 10 producing the highest number of positiveness and specifically with the age group of 11~15 and 21~30. The rural and urban areas people do not seem to have differences in terms of their titer positiveness and same is true in their interaction with age titer revealing on insignificant test. Therefore, in summary we conclude 1. The titers differ significantly in producing positiveness. Titer 1 :10 has the highest of producing such with very little of 1 : 320 and 1 : 640. 2. In general the age groups differ in terms of positiveness by titer but the degree of positiveness do not differ amongst tested population over 16 year of age groups very significantly. Therefore, the effect of titers beyond this age group population would be of similar magnitude. 3. The interaction between titer and age group seem to have a very strong impact on "positiveness" revealing the fact that individual aged will always bear significant variation in positiveness. 4. No significant variation in terms of positivencess could be observed amongst the rural and urban population from this experimental observation and same could be said about their being rural or urban with age or titer.

Human lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent form of lung cancer, is characterized by many molecular abnormalities. K-ras mutations are associated with the initiation of lung adenocarcinomas, but K-ras-independent mechanisms may also initiate lung tumors. Here, we find that the runt-related transcription factor Runx3 is essential for normal murine lung development and is a tumor suppressor that prevents lung adenocarcinoma. Runx3−/− mice, which die soon after birth, exhibit alveolar hyperplasia. Importantly, Runx3−/− bronchioli exhibit impaired differentiation, as evidenced by the accumulation of epithelial cells containing specific markers for both alveolar (that is SP-B) and bronchiolar (that is CC10) lineages. Runx3−/− epithelial cells also express Bmi1, which supports self-renewal of stem cells. Lung adenomas spontaneously develop in aging Runx3+/− mice (∼18 months after birth) and invariably exhibit reduced levels of Runx3. As K-ras mutations are very rare in these adenomas, Runx3+/− mice provide an animal model for lung tumorigenesis that recapitulates the preneoplastic stage of human lung adenocarcinoma development, which is independent of K-Ras mutation. We conclude that Runx3 is essential for lung epithelial cell differentiation, and that downregulation of Runx3 is causally linked to the preneoplastic stage of lung adenocarcinoma.

Human leptospirosis was an unfamiliar disease in Korea until 1984 that outbreak of leptospirosis occurred among farmers and soldiers after field works for harvesting rice. During that time, Lee and Jo confirmed the first Korean cases of leptospirosis by serological test, isolation of causative agent and autopy findings. Afterward several outbreaks occurred also during autumn especially after flood in every years and some characterisitcs of leptospirosis in Korea such as clinical manifestations, serotypes and seroepidemiological features has been revealed by many investigators. Because of the major mode of transmission between rodents and human is by direct contact with leptospiral urine of rodents or contaminated soil by the urine, leptospirosis in Korea has been primarily a disease of person in occupations heavily exposed to contaminated soil or infected urine such as farmer, army and etc. Therefore it seems that leptospirosis is one of the main communicable diseases to be controlled urgently in Korea, for an agricultural people account for almost half of total Korean people. For clarifying the seroepidemiological patterns of human leptospirosis in Korea by sex, month region and main reacting serovars of L. interrogans among acute febrile disease occurred in 1987, 1,773 patient's sers with acute febrile episodes were tested by microagglutination test using 19 representative strains of leptospiral serogroup as antigen. All of those sera were collected from 10 collaborative clinics located in Kyunggi, Kangwon, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Chonbuk, Chonnam province and Seoul. The results wee summerized as follows. 1) Among 1,773 sera of patients with acute febrile episodes, 219 (12.4%) were seropositive to L. interrogans, 487(27.5%) to R. tsutsugamushi, 241(13.6%) to R.typhi and 160(90.0%) to Hantaan virus. 2) Among seropositives to L.interrogans, the male outnumbered the female, 65% and 35%. 3) For age distribution, 26.9% of seropositives to L.interrogans were fifties, 19.6% were forties, 9.1% were sixties, 5.9% were thirties and 4.1% were twenties. 4) Eighty three percent of seropositives had occurred between September and October in 1987 with a peak in September. 5) Main leptospiral serovars reactive to patient's sera were Icterohaemorrhagiae(54.3%), Canicola(31.0%), CH-48(13.2%), Tarassovi(0.9%)and Cynopteri(0.5%). 6) For regional distribution, 65.8% of seropositives to L.interrogans were residents from Chonbuk, 12.3% were Chonnam, 7.3% were Chungnam, 5.5% were Kyunggi and 1.4% were Kangwon.

PHF2 histone demethylase acts as a tumor suppressor in association with p53 in cancer

Lee, K-H,Park, J-W,Sung, H-S,Choi, Y-J,Kim, W H,Lee, H S,Chung, H-J,Shin, H-W,Cho, C-H,Kim, T-Y,Li, S-H,Youn, H-D,Kim, S J,Chun, Y-S Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 Oncogene Vol.34 No.22

Plant homeodomain finger 2 (PHF2) has a role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression by demethylating H3K9-Me2. Several genome-wide studies have demonstrated that the chromosomal region including the PHF2 gene is often deleted in some cancers including colorectal cancer, and this finding encouraged us to investigate the tumor suppressive role of PHF2. As p53 is a critical tumor suppressor in colon cancer, we tested the possibility that PHF2 is an epigenetic regulator of p53. PHF2 was associated with p53, and thereby, promoted p53-driven gene expression in cancer cells under genotoxic stress. PHF2 converted the chromatin that is favorable for transcription by demethylating the repressive H3K9-Me2 mark. In an HCT116 xenograft model, PHF2 was found to be required for the anticancer effects of oxaliplatin and doxorubicin. In PHF2-deficient xenografts, p53 expression was profoundly induced by both drugs, but its downstream product p21 was not, suggesting that p53 cannot be activated in the absence of PHF2. To find clinical evidence about the role of PHF2, we analyzed the expressions of PHF2, p53 and p21 in human colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from patients. PHF2 was downregulated in cancer tissues and PHF2 correlated with p21 in cancers expressing functional p53. Colon and stomach cancer tissue arrays showed a positive correlation between PHF2 and p21 expressions. Informatics analyses using the Oncomine database also supported our notion that PHF2 is downregulated in colon and stomach cancers. On the basis of these findings, we propose that PHF2 acts as a tumor suppressor in association with p53 in cancer development and ensures p53-mediated cell death in response to chemotherapy.
