중력분을 이용하여 제면한 후 가압가열, microwave 및 가압가열과 microwave 병행 처리한 후, 생면 및 삶은 면의 품질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 생면의 pH는 microwave 1 min 처리구에서 무처리구와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 수분 함량은 autoclave 50 min 처리구에서 무처리구와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 그 외의 처리구에서는 모두 수분 함량이 감소함을 확인하였다. 면의 색도 측정 결과는 명도는 무처리구에 비해 모든 처리구에서 감소하였으며, 적색도는 microwave 1 min 처리구는 감소한 반면, 나머지 처리구는 증가하였다. 황색도는 autoclave 50 min 처리구와 autoclave 50 min/microwave 1 min 병행 처리구에서 증가한 반면, 나머지 물리적 처리구에서는 감소하였다. 삶은 면의 색도에서는 명도, 적색도, 황색도 모두에서 무처리구에 비하여 물리적 처리구에서 증가한 값을 나타내었다. 물성 측정 결과는 경도, 부착성, 응집성, 검성, 복원성에서 무처리구와 비교시 microwave 1 min 처리구는 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 그 외 처리구에서는 유의적으로 증가한 값을 나타내었다. 탄력성과 전단력은 모든 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 인장력은 가압가열 30 min 처리구와 무처리구가 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 나머지 물리적 처리구에서는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 관능 평가 결과는 생면의 경우 색 항목에서 물리적 처리구들이 유의적으로 낮은 점수를 받았다. 맛, 질감, 향 항목에서는 무처리구와 물리적 처리구간 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전체적인 기호도에서는 microwave 1 min 처리구가 가장 높은 점수를 얻었으며, 가압가열(50 min)과 microwave(1 min) 병행 처리구는 무처리구와 비슷한 점수를 얻었다. 따라서 제면 후 가압가열 및 microwave 처리가 생면 및 삶은 면에 있어서 색과 질감 항목을 보완, 개선시킨다면 알러겐성이 저감화된 면을 제품화하는데 적합할 것으로 사료되어진다. This study was conducted to determine the effects of physical treatments for quality of wet noodles. Noodles were being tried with a microwave (for 1 min), an autoclave (for 30 or 50 min), and both autoclave and microwave (for 30/1 min or 50/1 min). The results showed that the pH levels were slightly decreased after treatments of autoclave and autoclave/microwave. The moisture contents were considerably decreased as compared to the control except autoclave (50 min). After all treatments, the lightness was decreased in all samples, but, redness was increased (except microwave) and the yellowness was increased after autoclave (50 min) and autoclave/microwave (50/1 min). Texture was increased as compared to the control except microwave. In the sensory evaluation, the noodles treated with microwave, autoclave (50 min), and autoclave/ microwave (50/1 min) showed a high score in overall preference. From these results, both the autoclave and microwave methods can be applied to the wet noodles without diminishing its quality to a great extent.

본 연구에서는 가압가열 및 microwave 처리에 의한 중력분 반죽 추출물 내의 gliadin 단백질의 항원성 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 중력분 반죽에 가압가열과 microwave를 단독 또는 병행으로 처리하여 ci-ELISA, SDS-PAGE 및 immunoblotting을 실시하였으며, 가압가열 처리에 의해서 anti-gliadin IgG 항체와 gliadin과의 결합력이 다소 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 특히 30 min 이상 처리시 더욱 감소한 것으로 나타났으며, SDS-PAGE와 immunoblotting 결과에서도 gliadin band의 강도가 약해지고 항체와의 반응도 나타나지 않았다. Microwave 처리의 경우, 5 min 이상 처리시 일부 gliadin 단백질의 소실이 관찰되었으나, 항원성에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 또한 가압가열 및 microwave 병행 처리에 의해 항원-항체 결합력이 더욱 감소되었으며, 특히 가압가열 50 min, microwave 10 min 처리시 약 35.0%로 감소되었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 가압가열 처리에 의해 중력분 반죽 추출물 내 gliadin의 항원성이 감소되는 것을 확인하였으며, microwave와 병행 처리하는 경우, 더욱 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal physical treatment to reduce the antigenicity of gliadin in wheat dough. Medium wheat dough was treated with an autoclave (5, 10, 30, and 50 min at 121℃, 1 atm), a microwave (1, 5, and 10 min) or both (10, 30, and 50 min/5, 10 min). The proteins in the dough extracts were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the binding ability of anti-gliadin IgG to gliadin was examined by ci-ELISA and immunoblotting. Results showed that the ability of anti-gliadin IgG to bind to gliadin in wheat dough treated with an autoclave alone or in combination with a microwave was decreased. Especially, it declined to ~77% after autoclaving for 30 min and 35% after both autoclaving for 50 min and microwaving for 5 min. In addition, the intensity of gliadin bands in SDS-PAGE were weakened and anti-gliadin IgG did not recognize gliadin in immunoblotting. However, microwaving alone did not affect the antigenicity of gliadin in wheat dough. These results indicate that autoclaving may affect the reduction of the antigenicity of gliadin in medium wheat dough. Moreover, autoclaving in combination with microwaving is more effective for reducing the antigenicity of wheat dough.

본 연구에서는 가압가열 및 microwave 처리가 gliadin의 항원성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 강력분에 가압가열과 microwave를 단독 또는 병행으로 처리하여 Ci-ELISA, SDS-PAGE 및 immunoblotting을 실시하였다. 가압가열 처리의 경우 시간이 길어질수록 IgG와의 결합력이 감소하였으며, 특히 50분 처리구에서 약 87%로 가장 낮은 결합력을 보였다. 또한 SDS-PAGE와 immunoblotting 결과에서도 무처리구에서 강하게 보였던 gliadin band가 가압가열처리에 의해 거의 소실되고 항체와 반응하지 않았다. 가압가열 및 microwave를 병행 처리 시도 마찬가지로 gliadin의 결합력이 감소하였으며, 처리구 중 가압가열 50분, microwave 5분 처리구에서 약 93%로 가장 낮은 결합력을 보였다. 반면 microwave를 단독으로 처리한 경우에는 일부 단백질의 변화는 관찰되었으나, 항원성 감소에는 효과가 없음을 확인하여 단백질 변화가 항원성에는 큰 효과를 준 것 같지 않다. 이상의 결과를 통해 가압가열 단독 처리 및 가압가열 및 microwave의 병행처리 시 gliadin의 항원성이 감소함을 확인하였다. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of physical treatments on the antigenicity of gliadin in strong wheat flour. Strong wheat flour was treated with an autoclave (5, 10, 30, 50 min), a microwave (1, 5, 10 min), or both (10, 30, 50 min/ 5, 10 min), followed by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting, and Ci-ELISA using anti-gliadin IgG. The results indicated that the binding ability of IgG to gliadin in strong wheat flour slightly decreased after autoclaving or autoclaving/microwaving. In particular, the binding ability was reduced to about 87% after autoclaving for 50 min and to 89% after autoclaving/microwaving (50/5 min). In addition, gliadin bands in the 50 min autoclaved group disappeared in both SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. On the other hand, the antigenicity of gliadin was unaffected by microwaving alone. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that autoclaving may reduce the antigenicity of gliadin in strong wheat flour.

Expression and Characterization of a Novel 2-Deoxyribose-5-phosphate Aldolase from Haemophilus influenzae Rd KW20

Woo, Mi-Hee,Kim, Min Soo,Chung, Namhyun,Kim, Joong-Su The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2014 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.57 No.5

A codon-optimized 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) gene from Haemophilus influenzae Rd KW20 was synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the biochemical properties of its product were investigated. DERA was purified using affinity chromatography and characterized using 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate as the substrate. Specific activity of the recombinant DERA was $34.1Umg^{-1}$. The pH and temperature optima were 7.5 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. Additionally, the recombinant enzyme retained stability up to temperatures below $50^{\circ}C$. Maximal enzyme activity was observed in presence of 300 mM of acetaldehyde. The apparent $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ of purified enzyme towards 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate were 0.14 mM and $70.42{\mu}mol\;min^{-1}mg^{-1}$ and towards 2-deoxy-D-ribose were 24.77 mM and $1.94{\mu}mol\;min^{-1}mg^{-1}$, respectively. For synthesis of statin intermediates, the bioconversion process for production of (3R, 5S)-6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-erythro-hexose from chloroacetaldehyde and acetaldehyde using the recombinant DERA was studied and this process took 3 h for maximal conversion. This recombinant DERA could be potentially applied in the production of (3R, 5S)-6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-erythro-hexose.

  Today, harbor oscillation problems are the most significant factor to consider when designing harbors serving very large ships. In coastal harbors, large vessels moored in the elastic hawsers are often displaced due to the resonance between long period waves and mooring systems. As a result, cargo handling may be interrupted and the hawsers may be broken, especially when the amplification becomes extreme. The most significant harbor confronted with harbor oscillation problem in Korea is Pohang New port. Many cases of problems are being reported by the pilot association and the local office of MOMAF (Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries). However, it is difficult to prevent the arrival of long waves causing oscillation within this harbor. Moreover, the Korean government has already started a new port plan at the mouth of Yeongil Bay without addressing the problems that have occurred in Pohang New port. This study deals with the variation of harbor oscillation due to the construction of a 4.1 km breakwater at the bay mouth including the arrangement of the new berths. Numerical methods used are in fairly standard form from the extended mile slope equation. The obtained numerical results were compared with field measurement from the previous and this will bring a certain level of discussion and consideration of variation to the future port development.

우수경(Su Kyung Woo),윤민혁(Min Hyuk Yun),이재홍(Jae Heung Lee),권광일(Kwang Il Kwon) 대한약학회 2001 약학회지 Vol.45 No.4

A purified histone Hl protein, p961, which plays a role in mediating the condensation of DNA into chromatin, was recently proved as an arthritis-suppressing agent in the mouse CIA model. The pearmacokinetics of p961 was carried out in rats and rabbits. The rat's blood, bile and urine samples were semially collected from the femoral vein, common bile duct, and bladder respective1y; after bolus I.v. injection at low (10 mghg) and high (30 mg/mg) doses. The rabbit's blood samples were also collected from the marginal ear vein after bolus I.Y. injection at a dose 10 mg/kg. P961 and its major metabolite in the physiological samples were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC using a Vydac C4 protein column and a multistep water-acetonitrile gradient containing 0.24% trifluoroacetic acid. The major pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax, MRT t1/2, Vss and Cl) were estimated from the time course of plasma p961 and metabolite concentrations using WinNonlin. A two- compartment model was chosen for p961 as the most appropriate pharmacokinetic model. After I.v, injection of p961 at doses of 10 mghg and 30 mg/kg, more than 80% of p961 was removed rapidly from the plasma within 15 min. The plasma half-life of p961 in rats and rabbits was found not to exceed 12 min. p961 (22448.9 mot wt) was rapidly cleaved to 21612 mol wt fragment and the breakdown product appeared rapidly in the circulation with no lag phase. P961 and metabolite were not detected in rat urine and bile.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of physical treatments on the antigenicity of gliadin in medium wheat flour. The wheat flour was treated with an autoclave (5, 10, 30, 50 min), a microwave (1, 5, 10 min), and both (10, 30, 50 min/ 5, 10 min), and investigated by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting and Ci-ELISA using anti-gliadin IgG. The results showed that the binding ability of anti-gliadin IgG to gliadin in wheat flour was slightly decreased when autoclaved or when autoclaved and microwaved. Especially, it was reduced to about 69% after autoclaving for 50 min and 73% after autoclaving for 50 min and microwaving for 5 min. In addition, gliadin bands in the 50 min autoclaved group disappeared in both SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. On the other hand, the antigenicity of gliadin was unaffected by microwaving alone. Consequently, there were no considerable changes in using an autoclave alone or in combination with a microwave. These results suggest that autoclaving may affect the reduction of the antigenicity of gliadin in medium wheat flour.

이 연구에서는 폐종양의 정량적 개선을 위하여 분자체를 이용하여 내부 움직임을 측정하고 평가된 데이터를 기반으로 소동물 PET 영상내의 폐종양을 국소화하고자 하였다. 소동물 폐 영역의 내부 움직임은 방사성물질을 흡착한 분자체를 이용하여 소동물 폐 영역에 부착함으로써 구현하였다. 폐 영역의 내부 움직임 표적으로 사용된 분자체는 약 37 kBq의 Cu-64를 흡착시켜 폐종양을 모사하였다. 소동물 PET 영상은 Siemens Inveon 스캐너를 이용하여 획득하였으며 외부 움직임 데이터는 트리거 생성 장치인 BioVet을 이용하였다. SD-Rat PET 영상은 $^{18}F$-FDG 37 MBq/0.2 mL을 미정맥으로 주사하고 60분 후 20분간 데이터를 획득하였다. 리스트모드 데이터의 각 선응답은 외부 트리거 장치에 의해 획득된 트리거신호를 이용하여 2 bin에서 16 bin으로 사이노그램을 획득하였다. 획득된 사이노그램 데이터는 OSEM 2D 알고리즘을 이용하여 4회의 반복으로 재구성하였다. 종양의 정량적 분석을 위한 PET 영상은 종양을 묘사한 분자체 영역에 관심영역을 설정하고 계수와 SNR 그리고 FWHM을 이용하여 평가하였다. 움직임 표적으로 사용된 분자체의 크기는 $1.59{\times}2.50mm$이었으며, 기준 영상으로 획득한 체외 분자체 수직 및 수평 FWHM은 $2.91{\times}1.43mm$이었다. 정적영상과 4 bin 그리고 8 bin 영상에서의 수직 FWHM은 각각 3.90 mm, 3.74 mm, 3.16 mm이었으며 수평 FWHM은 각각 2.21 mm, 2.06 mm, 1.60 mm이었다. 정적영상, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin 그리고 16 bin의 계수 값은 각각 4.10, 4.83, 5.59, 5.38, 5.31이었다. 정적영상, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin 그리고 16 bin의 SNR은 4.18, 4.05, 4.22, 3.89, 3.58이었다. FWHM은 게이트 수의 증가에 따라 계속 향상됨을 확인하였다. 그러나 계수 값과 SNR은 게이트 수의 증가에 따라 계속 향상되지 않고 특정 bin 수에서 가장 높은 값을 보여 소동물 폐 영역에서의 종양 영상화시 SNR의 손실을 최소화하면서 향상된 계수 값을 얻을 수 있는 게이트 수를 획득하였다. 내부 움직임 측정은 최적화된 종양 국소화 영상을 획득할 수 있으며 외부 움직임 모니터링 시스템을 사용하지 않고 장기별 움직임 예측 모델링을 위한 유용한 방법이 될 것으로 기대된다. The purpose of this study was to estimate internal motion using molecular sieve for quantitative improvement of lung tumor and to localize lung tumor in the small animal PET image by evaluated data. Internal motion has been demonstrated in small animal lung region by molecular sieve contained radioactive substance. Molecular sieve for internal lung motion target was contained approximately 37 kBq Cu-64. The small animal PET images were obtained from Siemens Inveon scanner using external trigger system (BioVet). SD-Rat PET images were obtained at 60 min post injection of FDG 37 MBq/0.2 mL via tail vein for 20 min. Each line of response in the list-mode data was converted to sinogram gated frames (2~16 bin) by trigger signal obtained from BioVet. The sinogram data was reconstructed using OSEM 2D with 4 iterations. PET images were evaluated with count, SNR, FWHM from ROI drawn in the target region for quantitative tumor analysis. The size of molecular sieve motion target was $1.59{\times}2.50mm$. The reference motion target FWHM of vertical and horizontal was 2.91 mm and 1.43 mm, respectively. The vertical FWHM of static, 4 bin and 8 bin was 3.90 mm, 3.74 mm, and 3.16 mm, respectively. The horizontal FWHM of static, 4 bin and 8 bin was 2.21 mm, 2.06 mm, and 1.60 mm, respectively. Count of static, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin and 16 bin was 4.10, 4.83, 5.59, 5.38, and 5.31, respectively. The SNR of static, 4 bin, 8 bin, 12 bin and 16 bin was 4.18, 4.05, 4.22, 3.89, and 3.58, respectively. The FWHM were improved in accordance with gate number increase. The count and SNR were not proportionately improve with gate number, but shown the highest value in specific bin number. We measured the optimal gate number what minimize the SNR loss and gain improved count when imaging lung tumor in small animal. The internal motion estimation provide localized tumor image and will be a useful method for organ motion prediction modeling without external motion monitoring system.

강원도지역에서 발생한 발진열과 쯔쯔가무시병

민창홍,장우현,강재승,조수익,최문기,조민기,윤창순,김윤원 대한감염학회 1988 감염 Vol.20 No.2

In Korea, there has been an increasing concern on rickettsiosis as one of most prevailing acute febrile illness, since murine typhus and scrub typhus had not been reported for 2 decades until 1986 and thereafter a few studies were reported on these diseases. A microimmunofluorescence test was used to study antibodies to R. typhi and R. tsutsugamushi in urban and rural inhabitants students, and patiants suspected of leptospirosis or rickettsiosis from 1986 to 1987 in Kangwon-do Korea. 43% of inhabitatnts and 17% of students reacted to R. typhi. Only one inhabitant among inhabitants and students reacted to R. tsutsugamushi. Among 169 patients, 43(25%) reacted to R. typhi, 38(22%) to R. tsutsugamushi and 25(15%) to Leptospira interrogans. Sexual rate(male; female) in murine typhus was 1.7:1, that in scrub typhus was 1:2.2 and that in leptospirosis was 1.5;1. The age ditribution of patients with murine typhus was generally even over 20 years old. But 71% of patients with scrub typhus were over 40 years old. Scrub typhus was most prevailing in female over 40 years old. Murine typhus was relatively more prevailing in Choonchun city than rural area as compared with scrub typhus and leptospirosis. Most of scrub typhus occurred in rural area. Most of each disease occurred between September and November (murine typhus; 93%, scrub typhus; 95%, leptospirosis; 84%) with a peak in October. Scrub typhus considerably occurred not only October(58%) but also November(28%). All patients with scrub typhus were immediately diagnosed by antibody when they visited hospital. 53% of patients with murine typhus were diagnosed when they visited hospital within 7 days after onset of illness, and others were done by second sera obtained 8 days after. The patients in whom IgM was seronegative but antibodies of other class were seropsitive by 20 days after onset of illness, were 14% in murine typhus and 26% in scrub typhus. At least those patients were considered to be infected second. Murine typhus and scrub typhus were suggested to be endemic diseases in Kangwon-do as antibodies of inhabitants and characteristics of patients' sera were considered. By serologic finding of patients with scrub typhus in Kangwon-do, Gilliam was 59'% of etiologic strain of scrub typhus, Karp was 41q% and Kato was none. Most scrub typhus occurred in person to be related to agriculture, but murine typhus was not related to job and occurred more in small city than rural area. Rash was scarcely detected in murine typhus and scrub typhus, and eschar was in 50% of scrub typhus only. Serum transaminase elevated in many patients with scrub typhus and murine typhus. Leukocytosis and abnormal finding in chest X-ray were showed in some patients with scrub typhus but were scarcely in murine typhus.
