The present study was aimed to isolate the bacteria producing chitinolytic enzymes including chitin deacetylase (CDA) from soil origin. About 24 bacteria were screened for their chitinolytic enzymes producing ability on the basis of colloidal chitin. Amongst one of the most potent isolates designated to JI-02 was further selected as the most prominent chitinolytic and CDAlike enzyme (CDA-X) producer based on the ability of deacetylation of an artificial substrate pNP-acetamilide. The maximum production of CDA-X in crude enzyme from JI-02 was observed in the presence of 1% colloidal chitin at 37°C and pH 6.4 after 120 h of incubation. Potent enzyme activity of CDA-X was determined toward pNP-acetamilide, demonstrating that optimal pH, temperature and ionic strength of the CDA-X were assessed to be 7.0, 52°C and 125 mM, respectively. Unexpectedly, Nacetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) was not fully converted by the action of CDA-X to glucosamine (GlcN) under the established conditions. Further study on enzyme activity toward chitin-oligosaccharides consisting of multi-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)n, n=2-5 may be necessary to elucidate the mode of action which requires the minimum size of (GlcNAc)n. However, our data suggest that CDA-X can convert chitin to chitosan with the maximum yield of approximately 0.08g/L during the fermentation of the strain in the presence of chitin. Furthermore, we found that crude enzyme showed the significant chitosanolytic activity. Taken together, our data suggest that the strain JI-02 may be a potential candidate as a particular strain for better understating of chitin catabolic pathway.

Acinar cell carcinoma is a rare tumor that represents 1~2% of al1 pancreatic cancers. Clinical and radiologic findings are inconclusive in this disease Acinar cell carcinoma is characterized by rapid progression and early metastasis, which lead to its poor prognosis. A 41-year-o1d man was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed a splenic mass, which was being invaded by a pancreatic tail mass and which had increased ^(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake Primary radical distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Pathologic findings revealed an acinar cell carcinoma of the Pancreas The patient underwent a total gastrectomy three months later because of gastric recurrence Four months later, multiple hepatic metastases were discovered, and the patient underwent a left hepatectomy During treatment with capecitabine, there was no evidence of tumor progression for 14 months. We report a case of metastatic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma, which did not progress for an extended period while the patient was being treated with capecitabme.

탄저는 탄저균이 동물에 감염되어 발병하는 인수 공통 질병이다. 탄저균의 아포가 감염되면 식균작용에 의해 대식세포 내로 들어가게 된다. 대식세포 내에서 아포는 발아하며 대식세포에서 숙주의 체내로 들어가게 된다. 치사독소는 방어항원과 치사요소로 구성되어있다. 방어항원은 세포의 탄저독소 수용체에 결합하여 방어항원에 결합한 치사요소를 세포내로 운반한다. 운반된 치사요소는 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK)의 N-말단 부위를 전달하는 것으로 알려졌으나, 이 기작은 세포 사멸에 직접적인 영향을 주지 않는다. 탄저 치사독소에 의한 세포 사멸에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 그 기전이 아직까지 명확하게 규명이 되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 탄저 치사독소 처리에 의한 생쥐 대식세포주 (RAW 264.7)의 단백질의 발현양상을 조사하여 탄저 치사독소의 세포내 작용기작을 규명하고자 하였다. 단백질 발현 양상을 SELDI-TOF MS을 이용하여 분석하였다. 치사독소를 처리한 대식세포주에서 3,973 Da 단백질의 발현은 90분과 180분에 2배 정도 증가하였다. 단백질 6,066 Da의 발현은 60분에 두 배 증가하고 시간이 지남에 따라 점점 증가하였다. 단백질7,520 Da은 발현이 감소하고, 단백질 8,375 Da과 16,769 Da의 발현은 점점 감소하여 180분에는 절반으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. MAPKKs가 절단되는 60분이 기준으로 점차 변화가 일어나는 이들 단백질은 치사독소의 절단된 MAPKKs에 의해 발현이 변화하는 것으로 추정되었다. Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. The spores of B. anthracis are accessed into the body and germinated in macrophages. B. anthracis secretes three virulence factors (such as, protective antigen : PA, lethal factor : LF, and edema factor : EF), and escapes destruction and lyse the macrophages by an unknown mechanism. Anthrax toxins play a central role in pathogenesis of anthrax. Lethal toxin (LeTx) is a mixture of PA and LF. LF is a zinc-dependent endoproteinase that cleaves the amino terminus of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs). The role of LeTx in mediating these effects is unknown, largely due to the difficulty in identifying and assigning function to individual proteins. To analyze the cytosolic protein profile of murine macrophages treated with LeTx, we have performed surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The protein peak of 3,973 Da was increased 2 fold at 90 min and 180 min in murine macrophages treated with the LeTx. The protein peak of 6,066 Da was increased 2 fold at 60 min and gradually increased at 90 min and 180min. Protein peak 8,973 Da and 16,769 Da was decreased 2 fold in 180 min. Our results suggest that these proteomic approaches are a useful tool to study gene and protein expression in intoxicated macrophages.

After measuring actual stress by two measurements(Dynamic Strain Meter, Histogram Recorder)on truss rail road bridge, we could perform time history analysis by 3-D beam element method on modelling bridge. And then,after analyzing bridge structure in static by 3-D modelling, we estimated degree of fatigue damage in main member, secondary member of tie zone,cutting area of base metal cross section for confirming the result. In case that the simulate stress is carried out on medeling bridge, most of those simulation mainly is performed by main members.But in real bridge fatigue damage problems generally caused by junctions, connections, joints in which especially local stress is activated. Therefore, in this paper actual stress on critical area was estimated through the analysis result by simulation. With this study, we can estimate the degree of fatigue damage from a safety point of view and comparative accuracy.

전립선비대증은 노인 남성에서 흔히 유발되는 질환이며, 노화가 진행될 수록 빈도가 높아지는 특징을 가진다. 이 질환의 원인은 전립선기질세표의 과도한 증식으로 유발된다고 알려져 있지만 그 자세한 기전에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 전립선비대증에서 progesterone 수용체 양성 세포가 다른 전립선 종양에 비해서 많고, progesterone은 testosterone에서 DHT로 전환되는 것을 감소시키는 역할을 가진다고 알려졋다. 또한 남성 전립선 평활근의 과증식에 의한 질환이므로 평활근 세포의 증식과 관련성이 있다고 보고된 COX-2의 전립선비대증에 대한 영향에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 전립선 기질세포에 progesterone을 3일간 투여하여 배양한 경우 기질세포 증식은 차이가 없었다. Progesterone을 단독 또는 DHT와 같이 투여한 기질세포에서 남성호르몬 수용체 mRNA 발현은 비처리군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 progesterone과 DHT 동시 투여에 의한 COX-2 mRNA 발현에도 차이가 없었다. 그러나 progesterone에 의한 남성 호르몬 수용체와 COX-2 단백 발현에서는 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소시켰다. 이상의 결과는 progesterone은 남성호르몬 수용체에 대해 전사 후 반응 (post-transcriptional response)에 효과를 나타내어 남성호르몬 수용체 발현을 감소시키는 작용은 가지며, COX-2 발현 억제효과를 나타내므로 전립선비대증의 치료에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign tumor in older men; the etiology of this disease remains poorly understood. Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) both act as androgen via a single androgen receptor. Testosterone is converted to DHT by 5α-reductase in prostatic stromal cells. Progesterone has been reported to inhibit DHT conversion; howevwe, its effect on prostatic stromal cells remains to be elucidated. Materials and Methods: In this experiment, we investigated the effect of progesterone on androgen receptor expression induced by DHT. We also tested the effect of progesterone on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, as well as prostate stromal cell proliferation using the cell count kit-8. Results: Progesterone did not cause an increase of prostate stromal cell proliferation. The mRNA expression of the androgen receptor and COX-2 were not changed by progesterone; the expressions of androgen receptor and COX-2 proteins were decreased by progesterone in prostate stromal cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that in prostate stromal cells, progesterone decreases androgen receptor protein expression, which results in decrement of COX-2 protein expression. This effect might be mediated by post-transcriptional regulation.
