<P>Despite an increasing understanding of the essential role of the Mei2 gene encoding an RNA-binding protein (RBP) in premeiotic DNA synthesis and meiosis in yeasts and animals, the functional roles of the mei2-like genes in plant growth and development are largely unknown. Contrary to other mei2-like RBPs that contain three RNA-recognition motifs (RRMs), the mei2 C-terminal RRM only (MCF) is unique in that it harbors only the last C-terminal RRM. Although MCTs have been implicated to play important roles in plants, their functional roles in stress responses as well as plant growth and development are still unknown. Here, we investigated the expression and functional role of MCT1 (At1g37140) in plant response to abscisic acid (ABA). Confocal analysis of MCT1-GFP-expressing plants revealed that MCT1 is localized to the nucleus. The transcript level of MCT1 was markedly increased upon ABA treatment. Analysis of MCT1-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis plants and artificial miRNA-mediated mct1 knockdown mutants demonstrated that Mal inhibited seed germination and cotyledon greening of Arabidopsis plants under ABA. The transcript levels of ABA signaling-related genes, such as ABI3, ABI4, and ABI5, were markedly increased in the MCT1-overexpressing transgenic plant. Collectively, these results suggest that ABA-upregulated MCT1 plays a negative role in Arabidopsis seed germination and seedling growth under ABA by modulating the expression of ABA signaling-related genes.

Although many DEAD-box RNA helicases (RHs) are targeted to chloroplasts, the functional roles of the majority of RHs are still unknown. Recently, the chloroplast-localized Arabidopsis thaliana AtRH3 has been demonstrated to play important roles in intron splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and seedling growth. To further understand the functional role of AtRH3 in intron splicing and growth and the stress response in Arabidopsis, the newly-generated artificial microRNA-mediated knockdown plants as well as the previously characterized T-DNA tagged rh3-4 mutant were analyzed under normal and stress conditions. The rh3 mutants displayed retarded growth and pale-green phenotypes, and the growth of mutant plants was inhibited severely under salt or cold stress but marginally under dehydration stress conditions. Splicing of several intron-containing chloroplast genes was defective in the mutant plants. Importantly, splicing of ndhA and ndhB genes was severely inhibited in the mutant plants compared with the wild-type plants under salt or cold stress but not under dehydration stress conditions. Moreover, AtRH3 complemented the growth-defect phenotype of the RNA chaperone-deficient Escherichia coli mutant and had the ability to disrupt RNA and DNA base pairs, indicating that AtRH3 possesses RNA chaperone activity. Taken together, these results demonstrate that AtRH3 plays a prominent role in the growth and stress response of Arabidopsis, and suggest that proper splicing of introns governed by RNA chaperone activity of AtRH3 is crucial for chloroplast function and the growth and stress response of plants.

민병구,박찬영,최재순,이혁수,황창모,김삼성,윤걸중,김종원,선경,이경갑,정종태,김원곤 제주대학교 인공심장이식연구소 2001 인공심장 연구 Vol.2 No.1
현재 개발되고 있는 맥동형 이식형 인공심장은 완전이식형 인공심장과 좌심실보조장치 뿐이다. 좌심실보조장치를 장착한 환자의 10~15%가 우심실의 보조를 필요로하고 완전이식형 인공심장의 장착을 위해서는 자연심장을 제거해야하는 상황에서 이식형 양심실보조장치에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구진은 완전이식형 인공심장으로 개발된 한국형 인공심장을 개선하여 양심 실 보조장치를 개발하였다. 양심실보조장치는 이동형 작동기식 미케니즘을 이용하고 있으며 에너지 변환장치와 감속기로 구성된 작동기와 혈액주머니, 그리고 내장형 제어기로 구성되어 있다. 선인장 펌프로 명명된 KAH350은 캐뉼라의 연결을 위한 커넥터를 포함하여 길이 177mm, 폭 164mm, 높이 67 이고 무게 780g이며 최대 심박출량은 5L/min 이다. 양심실보조장치로 개발된 선인장펌프는 좌심실보조장치로도 응용이 가능하다. 이식적합성과 생체적합성을 평가하기 위하여 좌심실보조장치로 5회, 양싱실보조장치로 6회의 동물실험을 수행하였다. 각각 최장 28일간 생존하였으며 11회의 동물실험중 장치의 결함에 의한 것이 3회 있었는데 이들은 모두 전자장치의 결함과 방수처리문제였다. 현재 이식적합성과 일박출량을 향상시킨 KAH400모델이 개발중이다. The types of pulsatile implantable artificial hearts that are on the way of development and have been developed are totally implantable artificial heart and implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Approximately 10% to 15% of all patients Implanted with wearable VADs have required right heart support with another device. And it is reluctant to patient who should remove his or her own heart to be implanted with total artificial heart. These situations drive the development of implantable bi-ventricular assist device (BVAD). The Korean BVAD was develophed by modifying the moving actuator type Korean artificial heart. This electro-mechanical BVAD comprises actuator including energy converter and reduction gear train, blood sacs, and internal motor and energy controllers. The KAH350 which is named as 'Cactus Pump' is 177mm in length, 164mm in width, and 67mm in thickness including connectors and nuts. The weight and maximum cardiac output of Cactus Pump is 780g and 5L/min, respectively. The Cactus Pump that was developed as BVAD could be used as LVAD by attaching compliance caps on the 2 ports of one ventricle. The animal experiments were undergone 5 times for LVAD, and 6 times for BVAD. The best records were 28 days survival in both applications. There were 3 times of device failure and they were all associated with electrical connection and hermetic sealing. The KAH400 that has improved anatomical fitting characterisitcs and stroke volume is on development.
Magnetism of Zinc-Blende Fe Chalcogenides (FeY, Y = S, Se and Te): First-Principles Calculations
Gul Rahman,Sunglae Cho,Soon Cheol Hong 한국물리학회 2008 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.53 No.1
Within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method, we study the magnetism and the electronic properties of zinc-blende (ZB) Fe chalcogenides. The theoretical calculations show that the magnetic ground states of all of the ZB FeS, FeSe and FeTe considered in this study are antiferromagnetic (AFM). The calculated equilibrium lattice constant of ZB Fe chalcogenides in the AFM states varies linearly with the ionic radius of anion. The calculated density of states shows that these Fe chalcogenides are metals.

Reprogrammed hepatic stem cells can generate a variety of extracellular vesicular particles including exosomes with similar therapeutic potential. However, their functional application in cancer therapy is restricted due to a poor understanding of their physical properties, antiproliferative effects, and the underlying mechanism. Here, we explore reprogrammed stem cells that can release vesicular particles with physical properties of exosomes that can exert anti-proliferative effects by regulating cell proliferationrelated genes. We obtain vesicular particles with properties of exosomes expressing CD81 and CD63 with the size distribution peak observed at 155 nm. We analyze that as compared to non-treated conditions, vesicular particles have reduced cell proliferation of Hep G2 by 93.6% after 72 h. Furthermore, we also identify that B-cell lymphoma 2 has been reduced by 89.64% and activation of caspase- 3 has occurred in treated conditions via the mitochondrial pathway. Therefore, our results may highlight the potential of exosomes from hepatic stem cells to play a vital role in treating liver pathologies.

Intellectual Capital, a valuable intangible organizational asset, is primarily linked to a company's financial performance and is divided into three categories: human, structural, and relational capital. This paper investigates the impact of intellectual capital on the financial performance of selected Pakistani companies in the Information and Communication sector, as this sector is heavily reliant on intellectual capital. The data for 11 firms was gathered from the State Bank's Financial Statements Analysis of Companies Listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2020. Pulić's (2004) Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) has been used to assess a company's IC efficiency. VAIC<sup>TM</sup> and its components, the efficiency of intellectual capital, and the efficiency of capital employed are calculated. Financial performance is measured through return on assets, return on capital employed, and asset turnover ratio. Multiple regression, fixed-effect, and random-effect Panel Data estimation are used in the empirical study. The findings suggest that intellectual capital efficiency has a large impact on major profitability metrics, but little effect on company productivity. It can be inferred from the results that the companies must invest in advanced technology, the latest machinery, and well-equipped offices to improve financial performance and productivity and gain a competitive advantage.

Microarray analyses provide information that can be used to enhance the efficiency of livestock production. For example, microarray profiling can potentially identify the biological processes responsible for the phenotypic characteristics of porcine liver. We performed transcriptome profiling to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs) in liver of pigs from two breeds, the Korean native pigs(KNP) and Yorkshire pigs. We correctly identified expected DEGs using factor analysis for robust microarray summarization(FARMS) and robust multi-array average(RMA) strategies. We identified 366 DEGs in liver(p<0.05, fold- change>2). We also performed functional analyses, including gene ontology and molecular network analyses. In addition, we identified the regulatory relationship between DEGs and their transcription factors using in silico and qRT-PCR analysis. Our findings suggest that DEGs and their transcription factors may have a potential role in adipogenesis and/or lipid deposition in liver tissues of two pig breeds.
Optimal vaccination and treatment in the SIR epidemic model
Gul Zaman,Yong Han Kang,Il Hyo Jung 한국산업응용수학회 2007 한국산업응용수학회 학술대회 논문집 Vol.3 No.2
Mathematical epidemiological models for the dynamics of infections that induce lifelong immunity have been extensively developed. In this work, we consider a nonlinear SIR model given by a nonlinear system describing the dynamics of the interaction between susceptible and infective individuals in population. We analyze the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear system and then use two types of control vaccination and treatment to reduce the susceptible and infective individuals and increase the number of recovered individuals. The optimality system is derived and then solved numerically using an iterative method with Runge-Kutta fourth order scheme.
