In this study, 363 Korean father-son haplotype transfers in 351 families were analyzed using an in-house multiplex PCR system for 14 Y-STRs (DYS385a/b, DYF387S1, DYS391, DYS449, DYS460, DYS481, DYS518, DYS533, DYS549, DYS570, DYS576, DYS627 and DYS643), that included 11 loci newly added to the PowerPlex Y23 system or the Yfiler Plus system. The Y-STRs showed gene diversity values ranging from 0.2499 to 0.9612; the multicopy Y-STR loci DYS385 and DYF387S1 had high gene diversity of 0.9612 and 0.9457, respectively. In addition, DYF387S1, which has two copies, showed three alleles in seven individuals, and micro-variant alleles were observed in 14 individuals at four loci (DYS448, DYS518, DYS570 and DYS627). Among 351 haplotypes for the 11 newly added Y-STRs, 350 different haplotypes were observed, with an overall haplotype diversity of 0.9999 and discrimination capacity of 99.72%. In 363 haplotype transfers from 351 pedigrees, 29 single-step mutations were observed at 11 Y-STRs. Locus-specific mutation rate estimates varied from 0.0 to 1.93x10<SUP>-2</SUP>, with an average estimated mutation rate of 6.66x10<SUP>-3</SUP>. Two father-son pairs had mutations at two different loci in 11 Y-STRs. The number of pairs with mutations at multiple loci increased to five when the mutation event was investigated for haplotype transfer at 28 Y-STRs including 17 Yfiler loci and 11 Y-STRs examined in this study: four father-son pairs had mutations at two loci, and one pair had mutations at three loci. Overall, mutations were frequently observed at DYS449, DYS576 and DYS627 loci, which are known to be rapidly mutating Y-STRs. Mutation rate estimates at most loci were not significantly different from rates in other populations, but estimates for DYF387S1, DYS518 and DYS570 were considerably lower in the Korean population than in other populations.

Weight loss at the first month of palliative chemotherapy predicts survival outcomes in patients with advanced gastric cancer

Ock, C. Y.,Oh, D. Y.,Lee, J.,Kim, T. Y.,Lee, K. H.,Han, S. W.,Im, S. A.,Kim, T. Y.,Bang, Y. J. Springer Science + Business Media 2016 Gastric cancer Vol.19 No.2

<P>Weight loss during chemotherapy is a significant prognostic factor for poor survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, in most studies, weight loss was measured at the end of chemotherapy, limiting its clinical use. In this study, we evaluated whether weight loss during the first month of chemotherapy could predict survival outcomes in patients with AGC. We analyzed 719 patients with metastatic or recurrent AGC who were receiving palliative chemotherapy. We calculated the initial body mass index (BMIi), percent weight loss after 1 month of chemotherapy (Delta W (1)m), percent weight loss after last administration of chemotherapy (Delta W (end)), and average weight loss per month during chemotherapy (Delta W/m). We correlated these data with overall survival (OS) by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Kaplan-Meier curves, and performed a subgroup analysis using Cox regression. The probabilities of longer OS had stronger correlations with Delta W/m and Delta W (1)m than with Delta W (end) or BMIi. A significant positive correlation between Delta W (1)m and Delta W/m (r (2) = 0.591, p < 0.001) was observed. Median OS of patients with Delta W (1)m more than 3 % was significantly shorter than in patients with less weight loss (OS: 9.7 vs. 16.3 months, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed that Delta W (1)m accompanied poor survival irrespective of other clinical characteristics. Weight loss at the very first month of palliative chemotherapy could predict unfavorable survival outcomes in AGC.</P>

J.Y.ROH,H.W.PARK,Y.H.JE,D.W.LEE,B.R.JIN, H.W.OH,S.S.GILL AND S.K.KANG.1997. Bacillus thuringiensis NTB-1 isolated from soil samples in Korea produces ovoidal parasporal inclusions with proteins of approximately 24-40kDa in size. Although serological study indicated that the isolate has a flagella (H) antigen identical with subsp. israelensis, it seemed to be non-insecticidal against Lepidoptera and Coleoptera as well as Diptera. To investigate the activity of non-insecticidal B.thuringiensis transformed with insecticidal crystal protein genes, cryIVD and cytA genes of B. thuringiensis subsp. morrisoni PG-14, highly toxic to mosquito larvae, were introduced into the isolate NTB-1. The expression of mosquitocidal crystal protein genes in NTB-1 was characterized by SDS-PAGE analysis and electron microscopy. The results showed that crystalline inclusions of host, CryIVD and CytA were stably expressed in the transformant. However, the mosquitocidal activity of transformant was similar to that of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Cry-B harbouring cryIVD and cytA genes, demonstrating that a synergistic effect by an interaction of both introduced insecticidal and resident non-insecticidal crystal proteins was not observed.

Long-term outdoor cultivation by perfusing spent medium for biodiesel production from Chlorella minutissima

Oh, S.H.,Kwon, M.C.,Choi, W.Y.,Seo, Y.C.,Kim, G.B.,Kang, D.H.,Lee, S.Y.,Lee, H.Y. Society for Bioscience and Bioengineering, Japan ; 2010 Journal of bioscience and bioengineering Vol.110 No.2

A unique perfusion process was developed to maintain high concentrations of marine alga, Chlorella minutissima. This method is based on recycling cells by continuous feeding with warm spent sea water from nuclear power plants, which has very similar properties as sea water. A temperature of at least 30 <SUP>o</SUP>C in a 200 L photo-bioreactor was maintained in this system by perfusion of the thermal plume for 80 days in the coldest season. The maximum cell concentration and total lipid content was 8.3 g-dry wt./L and 23.2 %, w/w, respectively, under mixotrophic conditions. Lipid production was found to be due to a partially or non-growth related process, which implies that large amounts of biomass are needed for a high accumulation of lipids within the cells. At perfusion rates greater than 1.5 L/h, the temperature of the medium inside the reactor was around 30 <SUP>o</SUP>C, which was optimal for cell growth. For this system, a perfusion rate of 2.8 L/h was determined to be optimal for maintaining rapid cell growth and lipid production during outdoor cultivation. It was absolutely necessary to maintain the appropriate perfusion rate so that the medium temperature was optimal for cell growth. In addition, the lipids produced using this process were shown to be feasible for biodiesel production since the lipid composition of C. minutissima grown under these conditions consisted of 17 % (w/w) of C<SUB>16</SUB> and 47% (w/w) of C<SUB>18</SUB>. The combined results of this study clearly demonstrated that the discharged energy of the thermal plume could be reused to cultivate marine alga by maintaining a relatively constant temperature in an outdoor photo-bioreactor without the need for supplying any extra energy, which could allow for cheap production of biodiesel from waste energy.

A multiplex PCR system for 13 RM Y-STRs with separate amplification of two different repeat motif structures in DYF403S1a

Lee, E.Y.,Lee, H.Y.,Kwon, S.Y.,Oh, Y.N.,Yang, W.I.,Shin, K.J. ELSEVIER SCIENCE B V AMSTERDAM 2017 FORENSIC SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL GENETICS Vol.26 No.-

<P>In forensic science and human genetics, Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have been used as very useful markers. Recently, more Y-STR markers have been analyzed to enhance the resolution power in haplotype analysis, and 13 rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs have been suggested as revolutionary tools that can widen Y-chromosomal application from paternal lineage differentiation to male individualization. We have constructed two multiplex PCR sets for the amplification of 13 RM Y-STRs, which yield small-sized amplicons (<400 bp) and a more balanced PCR efficiency with minimum PCR cycling. In particular, with the developed multiplex PCR system, we could separate three copies of DYF403S1a into two copies of DYF403S1a and one of DYF403S1b1. This is because DYF403S1b1 possesses distinguishable sequences from DYF403S1a at both the front and rear flanking regions of the repeat motif; therefore, the locus could be separately amplified using sequence-specific primers. In addition, the other copy, defined as DYF403S1b by Ballantyne et al., was renamed DYF403S1b2 because of its similar flanking region sequence to DYF403S1b1. By redefining DYF403S1 with the developed multiplex system, all genotypes of four copies could be successfully typed and more diverse haplotypes were obtained. We analyzed haplotype distributions in 705 Korean males based on four different Y-STR subsets: Yfiler, PowerPlex Y23, Yfiler Plus, and RM Y-STRs. All haplotypes obtained from RM Y-STRs were the most diverse and showed strong discriminatory power in Korean population. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.</P>

Indica \times Japonica 교잡에 의해 육성된 수도신품종들의 유묘기 내냉한계와 내냉발현특성을 Janica품종들과 비교 고찰하고자 10개 품종을 유묘기 내냉성이 제일 약한 제 3 엽기에 주간 11\circ C야간 5\circ C의 저온조건에 0, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10일 처리한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 저온처리 전후에 주야 26\circ C / 18\circ C에서 생장한 파종 후 35일묘의 건물중이 무처리묘의 90% 이상이 되는 최장저온처리기간은 신품종들의 경우 0.8~2.8일 간으로써 특히 조생통일이 짧고 밀야 2003가 길었으며, Japonica 품종들의 경우 4.0~5.2일간으로써 신품종들보다 가역적 내냉한계기간이 배정도 길었다. 2. 저온처리에 따른 냉해발현 종료후 묘생존율이 90%이상되는 최장저온처리기간은 신품종들의 경우 3.0~5.6 일간으로써 수원 258호가 제일 짧고 수원 25001가 제일 길었으며, Japonica 품종들은 공시품종 모두 10일간 이상으로 신품종들보다 비가역적 내냉한계기간이 2~3배 이상 길었다. 3. 저온처리중 엽신변색고사율(y_1) 및 묘고사율(y_2), 저온처리 후 발현된 모신변색고사율(y_3), 묘고사율(y_4), 냉해를 받은 35일묘의 초장(y$_{5}$)과 건물중(y$_{6}$)은 모두 저온처리기간(x)과 고도로 유의한 상관성을 보였는데 특히 y_1, y_3, y$_{6}$와 높은 상관성을 보였으며, y_1~y$_{6}$들 상호간에도 모두 고도로 유의한 상관성을 보였으나 특히 y_1과 y_3, y_3와 y$_{6}$의 상관성이 컸다. 4. 냉해징상들의 발현순서와 상태들간의 상관성 분석결과로부터 가역적 및 비가역적, 직접적 및 간접적 냉해의 발생과 그들의 복합현상으로써 결과되는 관찰되는 냉해징상의 발현과정 모식도를 작성하여 그림 5에 제시하였다. 5. 수도유묘의 내냉성 평가에 있어서 가역적 피해와 비가역적 피해를 종합적으로, 그리고 정량적으로 나타내며 일반적으로 냉해를 나타내는 조사형질들 중 냉해에 가장 예민한 반응을 보이는 건물중율을 1차요인으로 취급할 것으로 제의한다. Comparative tolerance of the new rice varieties from Indicax Japonica cross to elastic and plastic chilling injuries was examined at the 3rd leaf-stage, the most sensitive stage to chilling during nursery, using a chilling chamber set 11\circ C, 13hrs. 20K lux day/5$^{\circ}C$ night. Seedlings were reared until 35 days after seeding in a 26\circ C, 13hrs. day / 18\circ C night chamber except the period of chilling treatment for 0, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10 days. The new varieties were approximately twice susceptible to elastic injuries, and thrice susceptible to plastic injuries than the Japonica varieties in the term of chilling duration. Among the variables indicating apparant chilling injuries the reduction in dry matter responded most sensitively and differentiated well the varietal difference in chilling resistance even with shorter chilling period. Sequential aspects of the cause and effect relations involved in the development of the apparant chilling injuries are discussed and a schematic diagram is presented as Fig. 5 in the text.
