The Jun and Fos families of eukaryotic transcription factors form heterodimers capable of binding to their cognate DNA enhancer elements. We are interested in searching for inhibitors or antagonists of the binding of the Jun-Fos heterodimer to the activator protein-1 (AP-1) site. The basic-region leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of c-Fos was expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase, and allowed to form a heterodimer with the bZIP domain of c-Jun. The heterodimer was bound to glutathione-agarose, to which were added radiolabeled AP-1 nucleotides. After thorough washing, the gel-bound radioactivity was counted. The assay is faster than the conventional electrophoretic mobility shift assay because the gel electrophoresis step and the autoradiography step are eliminated. Moreover, the assay is very sensitive, allowing the detection of picomolar quantities of nucleotides, and is not affected by up to 50% dimethylsulfoxide, a solvent for hydrophobic inhibitors. Curcumin and dihydroguaiaretic acid, recently known inhibitors of Jun-Fos-DNA complex formation, were applied to this Jun-GST-fused Fos system and revealed to decrease the dimer-DNA binding.

박세준,양태규 목원대학교 자연과학연구소 2001 自然科學 硏究論文集 Vol.10 No.1

본 논문에서는 신경회로망을 이용한 양족 로봇에 대한 역모델 학습 제어에 관한 연구를 하였다. 5관절 양족 로봇 모델을 가지고 운동학과 동력학을 구했고 신경회로망의 학습으로 역모델을 구성하였다. 로봇 관절의 원하는 위치, 속도와 가속도를 신경회로망의 입력으로 하고, 원하는 토크를 출력으로 하여 토크 오차가 영(0)이 되도록 가중치를 학습시켜 조절하여 역모델을 구했다. 역모델에 의한 각 관절의 위치, 속도와 가속도를 제어하는 방법을 제안했다. 역전파 알고리즘을 사용하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 역모델의 효율성을 입증했다. 반복횟수가 많을수록 SSE(sun square error)가 영에 가까워짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 원하는 토크, 위치, 속도와 반복횟수에 따른 토크, 위치, 속도 오차의 차이를 표로 보여주었다. 반복횟수가 많을수록 토크, 위치, 속도 오차가 적음을 알 수 있었다. In this paper, learning control of inverse for biped robot using neural network is studied. Kinematics and dynamics of a 5-link biped robot model was attained, and by the neural network's learning capability a reverse model was made. Using the robots joint position, speed, and acceleration for the neural networks input and the desired torque as the output, adjusting neural network's learned weights to make the torque error to be zero and attained an inverse model. We proposed a method for each joint position, velocity and acceleration control by the inverse model, and the inverse model efficiency is proved by simulation using back-propagation algorithm. We now know that the larger the iteration number, the closer the SSE(sun square error) approaches to zero, and that the larger the iteration number, the smaller the error of torque, position, and velocity.

박세훈,지대림,성언기,김희선,송인환,박희영,김준수,이덕희,박대팔 대한마취과학회 2002 Korean Journal of Anesthesiology Vol.43 No.4

Background: Propofol has an antioxidant capacity and can be used for ischemia-reperfusion injury of the liver. However, the effects of propofol on the Kupffer cells have not been establisked. Methods: Kupffer cells were isolated and cultured from male Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects of propofol on the Kupffer cells were evaluated by a phagocytosis assay, TNF-α gene expression, and superoxide anion release after administering propofol in different concentrations on the cultured Kuprrer cells. Results: The latex bead phagocytosis by the Kupffer cells was suppressed when the Kupffer cells were exposed to propofol irrespective of concentrations. Higher propofol concentrations decreased the loss of Kupffer cells after latex bead phagocytosis. Propofol induced TNF-α mRNA expression in the Kupffer cells, but the mRNA expression level after 50㎍/ml of propofol decreased. The pattern of TNF-α mRNA expression induced by propofol was different to that induced by LPS: TNF-α mRNA was expressed continuously in the propofol-treated cells until 16 hours after exposure to propofol, whereas the level of TNF-α mRNA expression induced by LPS was evident after 2 hours and was not found thereafter. TNF-α production after propofol treatment was not higher than that of the control. Formazan presipitation did not show any qualitative differences between cells untreated or treated with propofol concentrations of 0.5, 5.0, and 50 ㎍/ml. Conclusions: These results showed that propofol might inhibit Kupffer cells. This suggests that propofol and be used for patients with ischemia-reperfusion injury of the liver.

박세종,장경수,전무형 충남대학교 수의과대학 동물의과학연구소 1994 動物醫科學硏究誌 Vol.2 No.-

During 2 years from 1992 to 1994, prevalence of atrophic rhinitis(AR) in the pig herds located in the Western Chungnam was investigated, and isolation of B bronchiseptica was attempted for the pigs manifested with the clinical signs of atrophic rhinitis. The isolates were characterized and identified in aspects of biochemical properties, antigenicity, drug sensitivity and pathogenicity. The results through the experiments are summarized as follows; 1. The prevalence of clinical cases of artrophic rhinitis was recorded by 12.7% in the group that is the sows and piglets vaccinated, 28.9% in the group that is the sows only vaccinated and 39.8% in the group of the non-vaccinated groups. In th slaughter house, 53(24.8%) of 214 pigs examined exhibit the AR lesions. 2. A total of 189 strains of B bronchiseptica were isolated from the pig herds. Isolation rates were 12.6% in the group that is the sows and piglets vaccinated, 34.1% in the group that is the sows only vaccinated and 45.7% in the group of the non-vaccinated groups. Isolation rate in the specimen from the slaughter house was 93(43.5%) of 214 pigs examined. Of the AR-non-vaccinated group, the piglets aged between 61 to 90 days revealed the highest isolation rate of 58.5%. 3. Biochemical and serological propertities of 189 isolates were very similar to those of the reference B bronchiseptica phase I type, indicating that most of isolates are B bronchiseptica phase I type. 4. In antimicrobial drug susceptibility, 87.3% of 189 isolates was susceptible to chloramphenicol, 79.9%, to amikacin, 64.6%, to cephalothin and less than 35.4% to others. 5. The whole cells and bacterial filtrates of the isolates were inoculated to guinea pigs and mice. The isolates showed the high pathogenicity and dermonecrotoxicity. 6. In SDS-PAGE analysis, the isolates presented the identical protein profiles to the reference standard strains.

K3에 축적된 내부 응력이 피로 파절에 미치는 영향

김준영,김진우,조경모,박세희 大韓齒科保存學會 2012 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.37 No.2

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the cyclic fatigue of a K3 file and internal stress intentionally induced until the activation of the auto-stop function of the torque-controlled motor. Materials and Methods: K3 (Sybron Endo) .04 and .06 taper, size 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 were used in this study. To give the internal stress, the K3 files were put into the .02 taper Endo-Training-Bloc (Dentsply Maillefer until the activation of the auto-stop function of the torque-controlled motor. The rotation speed was 300 rpm and torque value was 1.0 N·cm. K3 were grouped by the number of induced internal stress and randomly distributed to 4 experimental groups (n = 10, Stress 0 [control], Stress 1, Stress 2 and Stress 3). For measuring the cyclic fatigue failure, the K3 files were worked against a sloped glass block and time for file separation was recorded. Data was statistically analyzed Statistical analyses were performed using two-way ANOVA and Duncan post-hoc test at p < 0.05 level. Results: Except .04 taper size 30 in Stress 1 group, there were statistically significant differences in time for file separation between control and all experimental groups. K3 with .04 taper showed higher cyclic fatigue resistance than those of .06 taper. Conclusion: In the limitation of this study, the cyclic fatigue of the K3 file was influenced by the accumulated internal stress from use until the auto-stop function was activated by the torque-controlled motor. Therefore, clinicians should avoid the reuse of the K3 file that has undergone auto-stops. (Restor Dent Endod 2012;37(2):74-78)

임신부 뇨로부터 정제된 인간 상피세포 증식 인자 유사체의 in vitro bioassay 및 특성

박세철,전재현,남정현,권태종,고인영,유광현 한국미생물생명공학회 ( 구 한국산업미생물학회 ) 1996 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.24 No.4

벤조산흡착, 음이온 교환수지, 단일클론항체을 이용한 immunoaffinity chromatography를 통하여 임신부 뇨로부터 천연의 hEGF를 정제하였다. 정제된 hEGF는 μ Bonda C_18 column을 사용한 HPLC 분석을 통하여 4개의 fraction으로 분리가 가능하였으며 western blot과 double immunodiffusion 실험 결과, 각각의 fraction이 hEGF의 특성을 가진 유사체인 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 hEGF 표준 물질과의 spiking 및 아미노산 분석 등을 통하여 두 번째 fraction이 nhEGF와 동일한 것으로 확인하였다. nhEGF 및 그 유사체의 생물학적 활성 비교를 위하여 NIH 3T3 세포주에서 5'-Brdu incorporation 측정을 위한 labelling 시간, 혈청 농도의 최적 조건을 결정하였다. NIH 3T3 세포주의 DNA 합성능은 0.2% FCS가 포함된 저혈청 배지에서 hEGF가 0.1~10 ng/ml 농도로 첨가하였을 때 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. HPLC를 통하여 분리된 두번째 hEGF 유사체가 다른 유사체보다도 생물학적인 활성이 우수하였으며, rhEGF 표준물질과의 spiking 및 아미노산 서열 분석등을 통하여 nhEGF로 밝혀졌다. 임신부의 뇨의 hEGF 유사체 함량중 natural hEGF는 46%이었다. Natural human epidermal growth facto (nhEGF) was purified from pregnant human urine by benzoic acid adsorption, DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified nhEGF was further separated into four fractions using Bondapak C_18 HPLC system. Following characterization by Western blot and double immunodiffusion, we found that each fraction corresponds to four derivatives of the nhEGF. For biological analysis of nhEGF, we optimized the labeling time and serum concentration for the incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxy-uridine (BrdU), a non-radioactive alternative for [^3H]-thymidine uptake, into NIH 3T3 cells. The DNA synthesis of NIH 3T3 cells was gradually increased at the nhEGF concentrations between 0.1~10 ng/ml in the Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM) containing 0.2% Fetal calf serum (FCS). When we assayed the biological activity of four fractions, the activity of the second fraction was superior to that of the others.
