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.

Multiplex PCR Detection for 3 Events of Genetically Modified Maize, DAS-59122-7, TC6275, and MIR604

Ji-Hye Ahn,Jae-Hwan Kim,Su-Youn Kim,Woo-Young Lee,Sun-Hee Park,Hae-Yeong Kim 한국식품과학회 2008 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.17 No.3

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to simultaneously detect 3 events of genetically modified (GM) maize. The event-specific primers were used to discriminate the following 3 events of GM maize (DAS-59122-7, TC6275, and MIR604) using multiplex PCR method. The zein gene was used as an endogenous maize reference gene in the multiplex PCR detection. The primer pair Zein-F/R producing a 99 bp amplicon was used to amplify the zein gene. The primer JI-Das-F1/R1 for DAS-59122-7, JI-TC6275-F3/R3 for TC6275, and JI-MIR F1/R1 for MIR604 yielded an amplicon of 130, 162, and 197 bp, respectively. The detection limit of multiplex PCR was 1% for DAS-59122-7, TC6275, and MIR604 for one reaction.

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma Arising from Mature Cystic Teratoma

Ho-Chang Lee1, Seung-Myoung Son, Yong-Moon Lee, Ji Hae Koo, Song-Yi Choi, Ok-Jun Lee, Eun-Hwan Jeong 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.2

Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is rare. Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a neoplasm comprising malignant mesenchymal cells and a conventional carcinomatous area. Here, we report on a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma arising from an MCT in the left ovary of a 45-year-old female. A unilocular cyst consistent with MCT was observed; however, a nodule within the cyst was confirmed from the resected ovary. Microscopically, the nodule showed both squamous cell carcinoma and pleomorphic sarcomatous components admixing with each other. Lining epithelial cells at the periphery of the main tumor showed squamous metaplasia. When a sarcomatous component is observed in the ovary tumor, it is important to find a squamous cell component, either benign or malignant.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

다공질 TiNi 형상기억합금의 고온자전합성에 관한 연구 : A Study on the Self-propagating High-tempaerature Synthesis of Porous TiNi shape Memory Alloy

이승해,김지순,권영순 울산대학교 1999 공학연구논문집 Vol.30 No.2

고온자전합성법을 이용하여 다공질 TiNi 금속간화합물을 제조하였다. 합성반응에 미치는 원료분말의 특성과 성형체 밀도, 점화온도 등의 영향을 생성물의 미세조직 관찰과 상분석, 기공도 및 기공구조 분석을 통하여 조사하였다. 다양한 원료분말을 사용하여 이들의 조합을 달리하여 준비한 혼합분말에 대한 반응 결과, 반응을 일으키는 최소점화온도는 280-500℃의 넓은 온도 범위로 확인되었으며, Hunter법으로 제조된 Ti 원료분말과 카르보닐 Ni 원료분말을 혼합한 경우에 가장 안정된 반응거동과 양호한 기공구조를 나타내었다. 제조된 반응생성물의 상분석 결과 단상의 TiNi와 제2상으로Ti₂Ni, TiNI₃등이 관찰되었으며, 제2상은 점화온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였다. 점화온도의 증가에 따라 기공의 크기도 감소하였으며 그 분포가 균일하여짐을 확인하였다. Porous TiNi intermetallic compound was produced by SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis). Effects of starting powder characteristics, green density and ignition temperature on synthesis reaction were investigated through microstructural observation, phase analysis, porosity and pore structure of reacted specimens. Minimum ignition temperature for a propagation of thermal wave front ranged from 280 to 500℃ which varied according to starting powder characteristics. Mixtures of Ti produced by Hunter process and carbonyl Ni powders showed a stable reaction behavior and a good pore structure. From the results of XRD phase analysis TiNi was confirmed as a major phase. Additionally, Ti₂Ni and TiNi₃phases were also detected as second phases. The amount of teh second phases decreased with increasing ignition temperature which resulted also in a decrease of pore size and uniform distribution of pores.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate clinical effect of paroxetine treatment and to explore psychological Pre-dictors of treatment response. Methods : Patients (n=26) who met DSM-IV criteria for panic disorder with or without agoraphobia were treated by Pa-roxetine for 12 weeks. We assessed symptom improvement using Clinical Global Impression (CGI), and clinical characteristics using Anxiety Sen&itivity Index (ASI), Anxious Thoughts and Tendencies (AT & T), Agoraphobic Cognition Questionnaire (ACQ), Body Sensation Questionnaire (BSQ), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). T-test, correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed. Results : Panic patients showed significant improvement in seventy of illness and each clinical characteristic after 12 weeks of paroxetine treatment. There were significant correlations among severity of illness, anxiety, and depression, and subjective seventy was related with catastrophic thoughts. The more catastrophic thoughts and the higher sensitivity of body sensation, Patients had the worse symptom improvement they shorved. Multiple regression analysis showed that catastrophic thought related to agoraphobia was the best predictor of symptom improvement (22%). Conclusion : This study suggests that short-term treatment of paroxetine is effective in panic disorder with or without ago-raphobia, and that catastrophic thought could be a predictor of poor treatment response. Thus cognitive intervention on Catastro-phic thoughts may play an important role in symptom improvement in panic disorder.

Anthony Browne 그림책의 상호 텍스트성에 관한 연구

지은주,이혜은 부산유아교육학회 2003 유아교육논총 Vol.12 No.-

현대의 그림책에서는 여러 다양한 기법들이 사용되는데, 상호텍스트성도 이 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 상호텍스트성을 문학적 또는 문학외적인 텍스트와 이미지의 변형 및 재구조화로 정의 내리고, Anthony Browne의 그림책을 이러한 상호텍스트적인 관점에서 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, Anthony Browne의 그림책 속에는 전래동화와 신화가 숨어 있으며, 둘째, Anthony Browne의 그림책은 문학외적인 장르 즉 유명한 회화 작품들과 영화 장면들과도 상호텍스트성을 보이며, 넷째, Anthony Browne의 그림책들 간에도 인물, 배경, 스타일면에서 많은 상호텍스트성을 보인다. 이러한 상호텍스트성은 그림책을 훨씬 더 다양하고, 복합적이고, 재미있게하며, 아동으로 하여금 문학을 더욱더 확장하고 심화하게끔 한다. A variety of techniques are used in modern picturebooks, and one of these is intertextuality. We defined intertextuality as literary or extraliterary variation and restructure of text and image. We analysed Anthony Browne’s picturebooks in terms of intertextuality. Our results are followings: First, fairy tale and myth are linked with intertextuality in his books. Secondly, intrtextuality appears with extraliterary, well-known pictures and film-scenes. In the third, intertextuality appears on characters, settings, and style. Intertextuality makes children read picturebooks with very various, complex, and interesting mind, Then, intertextuality also helps children extend and deepen their understanding and imagination of the literature.

연구목적 : 본 연구는 우리나라 실정에 적합하게 직무 스트레스(job stress)를 측정하고자 Osipow와 Spokane(1992)의 이론적 모형에 기초한 직무 스트레스 검사를 개발하고, 그 신뢰도 및 타당도를 검증할 목적으로 실시하였다. 방 법 : Osipow와 Spokane(1992)의 이론에 근거하여 한국판 직무 스트레스 검사(The Korean Version of Occupational Stress Inventory)를 제작하였다. 문항분석을 거쳐 최종적으로 직무 역할(Occupational Role Questionnaire ; ORQ), 개인적 긴장(Personal Strain Questionnaire ; PSQ), 개인적 자원〕(Personal Resource Questionnaire ; PRQ) 등 세 가지 하위 영역의 총 140문항으로 검사를 구성하였다. 한국직업사전의 직업분류에 기초하여 총 7개 직종군의 805명(남성 76.5%, 여성 23.5%)에게 검사를 시행한 뒤 직무 스트레스 척도의 신뢰도 및 타당도에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 결 과 : 1) 직무 스트레스 검사의 신뢰도에 대한 분석에서 직무 역할(ORQ), 개인적 긴장(PSQ), 개인적 자원(PRQ) 각 하위 영역에 대해서는 .89∼.92 14개 하위 척도에 대해서는 .70∼.88의 높은 내적 일관성 신뢰도계수 α를 얻을 수 있었다. 8주 간격으로 검사-재검사를 실시하였을 때의 신뢰도 계수는 .62∼.79였으며, 2개 언어 사용자를 대상으로 한국어판 검사와 영어판 검사를 모두 실시하였을 때의 상관 계수는 .82∼.96으로 나타나서 전반적으로 높은 수준의 신뢰도를 확인하였다. 2) 타당도 분석에서 개인이 경험하는 직무 스트레스의 수준은 대처 자원과 유의한 부적 상관관계(γ=-.29)를 나타냈고, 스트레스로 인한 긴장과는 유의한 정적 상관관계(γ=.69)를 나타냈으며, 개인의 대처 자원은 스트레스로 인한 긴장과 유의한 부적 상관관계를 나타냈다(γ=-.40). 전체 직무 스트레스 검사에 대한 요인분석 결과, 전반적인 스트레스 요인과 그에 따른 반응, 스트레스에 대한 개인의 대처기술, 스트레스에 대한 개인의 심리적, 신체적, 행동적 반응 등 세 가지 요인이 추출됨으로써, 이론적 모형에 따른 구성타당도가 입증되었다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 개발된 검사는 그 높은 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증됨으로써, 직장인의 직무 스트레스 경험을 체계적으로 이해하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있는 도구임이 확인되었다. 향후 직무 스트레스의 구체적 원인과 그 대처방법을 규명하고 나아가 직무 스트레스와 각종 정신적 신체적 질환의 관련성을 과학적으로 평가함으로써, 스트레스로 인해 고통받는 일반 직장인 및 환자의 치료에 기여할 수 있으리라 기대한다. Objectives : The present study explored the reliability and the validity of our newly constructed job stress scale, the Korean version of the Occupational Stress Inventory(K-OSI). Methods : Through preliminary item-analysis, we constructed 140 items of the Korean version of Occupational Stress Inventory(K-OSI). K-OSI consists of three subscales measuring three sections, 'ORQ'(Occupational Role Questionnaire), 'PSQ'(Personal Strain Questionnaire), and 'PRQ'(Personal Resource Questionnaire), respectively. The normative group consisted of 805 adult workers who represented six major job classes in Korea. Results : The internal consistency coefficients of 'ORQ', 'PSQ', and 'PRQ' ranged from .89 to .92, and of those 14 subscales ranged from .70 to .88. The test-retest reliability coefficients of 8 week duration ranged from .62 to .79, and bilingual's consistency coefficient ranged from .82 to .96. The validity of the K-OSI was investigated by factor-analysis, yielding 3 factors of overall job stress and its responses, personal stress coping, psychological, physical, and behavioral responses of job stress. Conclusion : The present results indicate that the K-OSI is a reliable and valid measure of job stress.
