The rates of antibiotic susceptibility and resistance were investigated in Streptococcus iniae and Streptococcus parauberis isolates obtained from diseased olive flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus) collected from fish farms in Jeju Island, Korea. Isolates of S. iniae (n=65) were susceptible to cefotaxime, erythromycin, ofloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline and vancomycin, as demonstrated by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. Isolates of S. parauberis (n=86) were highly resistant to erythromycin (58% of the 86 isolates tested) and tetracycline (63% of the 86 isolates tested). Fifty-four isolates of tetracycline-resistant S. parauberis contained the tet(M/O/S) genes, of which 39 and 12 isolates contained the tet(M) and tet(S) genes, respectively, whereas 3 isolates contained both the tet(M) and tet(S) genes. Among the erythromycin-resistant isolates of S. parauberis (n=50) only 14 contained the erm(B) gene. These results suggest that the tet(S) and erm(B) genes of S. parauberis are involved in the acquisition of high-level resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline. Our findings reveal a high rate of antibiotic resistance among strains of S. parauberis and emphasize the need to develop an appropriate vaccine to reduce the use of antibiotics.

Jun, B.H.,Jung, S.A.,Park, S.D.,Park, B.J.,Han, Y.H.,Kim, C.J. North-Holland 2011 Physica. C, Superconductivity Vol.471 No.21

To understand the effect of Y<SUB>2</SUB>BaCuO<SUB>5</SUB> (Y211)/YBa<SUB>2</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>7-y</SUB> (Y123) interfaces on the oxygen diffusion in single grain YBa<SUB>2</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>7-y</SUB> superconductors, single grain Y123 superconductors with 0.05 and 0.3moles of Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> additions were fabricated by a top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) process. Y123 compacts with Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> additions were subjected to melt growth heating cycles with a cooling rate of 1<SUP>o</SUP>C/h through a peritectic temperature (1015<SUP>o</SUP>C) and then annealed at 450<SUP>o</SUP>C for 200h in flowing oxygen. The superconducting temperature (T<SUB>c</SUB>) and critical current density (J<SUB>c</SUB>) were estimated for the three different regions (top surface (s), intermediate (i) and center (c)) of samples. The amount of Y211/Y123 interface area in single grain Y123 superconductors was successfully controlled by Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> additions. The T<SUB>c</SUB> values of s regions were higher than those of i and c regions, which indicates the presence of more oxygen at the sample surfaces. In addition, the T<SUB>c</SUB> values of i and c regions of the Y123 sample with 0.3mole Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> addition were higher than those of the same regions of the Y123 sample with 0.05mole Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> addition due to the promoted oxygen diffusion through Y211/Y123 interfaces and other related defects. In spite of the promoted oxygen diffusion by Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> addition, the large T<SUB>c</SUB> difference among the regions still existed, which suggests sluggish oxygen diffusion into single Y123 grains.

Y Beam형 모노레일의 가이드 레일 및 클램프의 특성과 안전성에 관한 연구

고형근(Ko H K),김영순(Kim. Y S),남대희(Nam D H),정승연(Jung S Y),천성욱(Cheon S W) 한국철도학회 2010 한국철도학회 학술발표대회논문집 Vol.2010 No.7

모노레일은 그동안 과좌식과 현수식으로 분류 되어 왔으나 세계 최초로 도입한 중앙 안내 방식의 인천 월미은하레일은 신개념의 Y Beam을 가이드 레일로 사용한 새로운 형식의 모노레일이라 할 수 있다. Y Beam 은 안내륜을 통해 모노레일의 수평 하중을 전달하는 역할을 담당하고 있기 때문에 수직 하중을 타이어를 통해 전달 받는 콘크리트 바닥 및 강재 Beam과 함께 모노레일의 주행 안전에 없어서는 안 될 가장 중요한 구조물이다. 본 연구에서는 수평 하중을 감당하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 모노레일의 안정과 안내를 함께 보장 하면서 급전선을 지지하는 역할도 동시에 담당하고 있는 Y Beam과 Y Beam을 고정하는 클램프의 특성과 안전성에 대해 고찰하였다. Monorail has been classified as straddled type and suspended type. However, Inchon Wolmi Eunha rail, a center guide type first ever introduced in the world, uses a new concept Y-Beam as guide rail. Since Y-Beam takes horizontal loads of monorail through guide wheels, it is an essential structure for the safe operation along with concrete surface and steel beam which take vertical loads through main tires. This study presents the characteristic and reliability of Y-Beam and Y-Beam fixture, clamp, which are not only taking horizontal loads but also guarantying both guiding and stability of monorail and holding power supply line.

Rosiglitazone-mediated dendritic cells ameliorate collagen-induced arthritis in mice

Byun, S.H.,Lee, J.H.,Jung, N.C.,Choi, H.J.,Song, J.Y.,Seo, H.G.,Choi, J.,Jung, S.Y.,Kang, S.,Choi, Y.S.,Chung, J.H.,Lim, D.S. Pergamon Press 2016 Biochemical pharmacology Vol.115 No.-

<P>Rosiglitazone is a selective ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), which serves diverse biological functions. A number of autoimmune disease models have been used to examine the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of tolerogenic dendritic cells (tDCs). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether rosiglitazone-mediated DC (Rosi-DC) therapy suppressed arthritis in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. Rosi-DCs were generated by treating immature DCs with TNF-alpha, type II collagen, and rosiglitazone. CIA mice then received subcutaneously (s.c.) two injections of Rosi-DCs. The severity of arthritis was then assessed histopathologically. The phenotypes of the DC and regulatory T (Treg) cell populations in CIA mice were determined by flow cytometry and the effect of Rosi-DCs on the secretion of autoimmunity-inducing cytokines was examined by ELISA. Rosi-DCs expressed lower levels of DC-related surface markers than mature DCs. Histopathological examination revealed that the degree of inflammation in the paws of Rosi-DC-treated mice was much lower than that in the paws of PBS-treated CIA mice. Taken together, these results clearly show that rosiglitazone-mediated DCs ameliorate CIA, most likely via the induction of antigen-specific Treg cells. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

본 조사연구는 종란을 생산하는 원종계, 종계, 백세미씨알 생산농장을 대상으로 수직감염(난계대 전파)되는 전염성질병인 추백리/가금티푸스, 닭 마이코플라즈마증(MG, MS), 전염성빈혈증, 조류 아데노바이러스 감염증에 대한 항원 및 항체검사를 실시하였다. 조사기간은 2009년 8월부터 12월까지 5개월간 원종계 45계군, 종계 1,018계군, 백세미씨알 생산 54계군에 대한 성적이다. 추백리/가금티푸스 항원검사에서는 모든 계군이 음성으로 확인되었으나 항체검사 결과 종계 3.2 %, 백세미씨알 생산계군 3.0 %의 항체양성률이 관찰되었다. 계종별 가금티푸스의 발생률은 종계군의 항원검사결과와 상반되어 육계 44.3 %, 백세미 26.2 %, 산란계 15.7 %, 토종닭 12.6 %, 육용종계 1.08 %였다. MG 항체검사 결과 원종계 71.1%, 종계 및 백세미씨알 생산계군 각 88.7% 항체 양성률이 확인되었으며 MS항체검사 결과도 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 닭 전염성빈혈바이러스 검사결과 원종계 42.2%, 종계 18.0%가 바이러스를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 항체양성률도 86% 이상이었다. 이와 함께 조류아데노바이러스 항원검사 결과에서는 원종계 4.4%, 종계 2.7%, 백세미씨알 생산계군 9.35%가 바이러스를 보유하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 결론적으로 국내 종계군은 닭 마이코플라즈마증과 닭 전염성 빈혈에 상당히 높은 수준으로 감염되어 있는 것으로 판명되어 질병별 적절한 예방책이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. A survey of transovarially transmitted diseases, including salmonellosis [(pullorum disease; PD)/(fowl typhoid; FT)], mycoplasmosis, avian infectious anemia(CIA), and fowl adenovirus infection was conducted in the breeder chickens from August to December in 2009. The numbers of flocks sampled out were: grand parent(GP), 45; parent 1018, Baeksemi breeder(BSB) 54. The seroprevalence of salmonellosis(PD/FT) were 0 % (GP), 3.2 % (parent), and 3 % (BSB), respectively. A total of 983 chicken farms were affected with FT outbreaks between 2000 and 2008. The incidence of FT in commercial broilers, Baeksemi, commercial layers, native chickens, and broiler breeders was 44.3 %, 26.2 %, 15.7 %, 12.6 % and 1.08 %, respectively. Of the affected broilers, over 90 % birds were under 2 weeks of age, indicating it was possible that they were infected with S. gallinarum via vertical transmission. The sero-positive flocks against Mycoplasma gallisepticum(MG) were 71.1 % (GP), 88.7 % (parent), 88.7 % (BSB), while the rates of positive flocks against Mycoplasma synoviae(MS) were 86.0 % (GP), 77.0 % (parent), and 98.0 % (BSB). In GP and parent farms, the detection rates on specific genes of CIA virus were 19/45 (42.2 %), and 169/1039 (18.0 %), respectively, whereas the seroprevalence of CIA were 86.0 % in GP and 93.7 % in parent flocks. In addition, positive flocks of fowl adenoviruses were 4.4 % (GP), 2.7 % (parent) and 9.35 % (BSB), respectively. As a results, avian mycoplasmosis and CIA have been more prevailing in chicken breeder than avian salmonellosis and fowl adenovirus infection in Korea.

정윤하(Y. H. Jung),강성관(S. K. Kang),김은하(E. H. Kim),고대홍(D. H. Ko),조만호(M. H. Cho),황정남(C. N. Whang) 한국진공학회(ASCT) 1999 Applied Science and Convergence Technology Vol.8 No.3(1)

p-type Si (100) 기판 위에 습식 산화법으로 SiO₂ 층을 형성한 후, Ionized Cluster Beam(ICB) 증착 방법으로 200 Å 두께의 Y₂O₃ 박막을 증착 하였다. Y₂O₃ 박막이 증착 된 시편을 산소, 아르곤 분위기에서 열처리한 후, Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM)과 Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM)을 사용하여 Y₂O₃ 박막의 표면과 계면을 관찰하였다. 열처리를 수행한 후 Y₂O₃ 박막과 Si 기판 사이에서 SiO₂층이 성장하고, 이트륨실리 케이트 층이 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 산소 분위기에서 열처리를 수행한 시편의 Y₂O₃ 박막 표면을 관찰한 결과, 표면 상부에 아르곤 분위기에서 열처리한 시편에서는 보이지 않았던 새로운 상이 형성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 전기적 특성을 측정하기 위하여 Al/Y₂O₃/p-type Si (100) 의 캐패시턴스-전압 특성을 관찰하였고, 그 결과 Y₂O₃ 박막의 유전 상수 값이 약 9정도임을 알 수 있었다. We investigated the interfacial reactions between the Y₂O₃ film deposited by ICB processing and p-type (100) Si substrates upon annealing treatments in O₂ and Ar gas ambients. We also investigated the evolution of surface morphology of ICB deposited Y₂O₃ films upon annealing treatments. We observed that the root-mean-square (RMS) value of surface roughness measured by AFM increased with annealing time at 800℃ in O₂ ambient, while the change of surface roughness was not observed in Ar ambient. We also found the growth of SiO₂ layer and the formation of yttrium silicate layer. From the capacitance values (C_(acc)) measured by C-V measurements, the relative dielectric constant of Y₂O₃ film in metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure was estimated to be about 9.
