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.

In 1995, the costumes were restored in an unknown woman's tomb at the Jeonju Lee's family cemetery in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-Do, and there are currently nine items remaining. In this study, we first introduced these 9 relics to academia and analyzed the morphological characteristics of the costumes. We also estimated the time and person of burial compared with costumes unearthed from other burials. Jeogories (short jacket) are all four items. One of these items was unusual in shape, and the upper part of the seop (gusset) was wrinkled and shaped. This type of Jeogori appears only till the 1520s in other tombs. There are also two skirts, one of which is characterized by a superimposed pattern. The top and bottom / middle part of the skirt were rolled up, and the skirt, which was double-rolled up in this way, was first discovered. An analysis of the shape of Jeogori and skirt indicated that the person buried in the Jeonju Lee's family tomb was believed to have survived until the early 16th century. Based on these estimated periods, as a result of looking at the genealogy of Jeonju Lee's family, it was concluded that the tomb was probably a woman named Lee Geum Myeong (李金命) born in the mid-15C and died between the late 15C and the early 16C.

Thirty five patinets' paraffin embedded biops block , which was previously diagnosed ameloblastoma and obtained from oral and maxillofacial surgery dept. of pusan paik hospital and OMS dept of collage dentistry, pusan national university hospital, from January 1994 to march 1999, were performed immunohistochemistry with p-53 and MIB-1. On investigating the expression, correlation between clinical and histologic factor and correlation between prognosis and moleculopathologic property were examined. And we obtained the following results; 1. Age over forty, recurrence rate was 58.5%. 91.4% of the tumor was developed on mandibule, recurrence rate of maxilla area tumor was 66.7% On radiologic and histologic feature, multilocular and follicular type has high recurrence rate but no significance statistical difference was found 2. Expression of p-53 was 25.7%, When underage of forty. location on mandibule, multilocular and plexiform type, the expression of p-53 was somewhat higher and recurred cases of tumor, expression rate was 12.5%. 3. MIB-1 expression rate was 77.1%. When location on mandibule, unilocular, plexiform type tumor and previously recurred case, MIB-1 expression was 87.5% which was somewhat higher than no recurrence case of 74.1%. 4. 33.3.% of positive on MIB-1 have expression of p-53 and all p-53 positive case express MIB-1 positive. All p-53 positive case have high cell proliferation rate. From this result, age and location have closely related with the prognosis of tumor, histologic feature and MIB-1 expression has related with the prognosis of tumor. But p-53 has highly expressed on cell proliferation area, not closely related with the prognosis of tumor.

Residue levels of PCBs and DDTs(p.p'-DDE +P,p'-DDT) in surface sediment samples from Masan Bay were investigated. The concentrations of PCBs and DDTs ranged from 8.Ong/g to 150ng/g and from 0.001> to 7.8ng/g, respectively. The pattern of PCBs in the the samples, mainly composed of trichlorobiphenyls(T₃BCBs), tetrachlorobiphenyls (T₄CBs), pentachlorobiphenyls(P_(5)CBS) and hexachlorobiphenyls(H_(6)CBs) , suggested that the contaminant might have flowed to the stagnate area(site 2) from terrestrial areas, because the PCBs isomer patterns in some sites are usually different due to their environmental conditions and the industrial usage.

Backgrounds 3,4-Dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) is a transformation product of herbicides that is commonly used as a reference in developmental toxicity studies (OECD TG 236) (Bonnet et al. in Environ Toxicol 22:78–91, 2007). However, the mechanisms underlying 3,4-DCA-induced hepatotoxicity are not well known. Methods We exposed zebrafish larvae at 72 hpf to 3,4-DCA for 3 days and observed lipid accumulation in liver treated with 10-μM 3,4-DCA using oil red O staining. Subsequently, we performed qRT-PCR analysis to determine the genes involved in the observed lipid accumulation. Results We found that genes related to lipogenesis (srebp1, pparγ, lipin1, and scd1) and ER stress (bip, atf4, ddit3, dnajc3, and edem1) were significantly upregulated. In addition, we found that ROS generation increased in the larvae treated with 10-μM 3,4-DCA. Moreover, glutathione-S-transferase activity in these larvae was increased by 3,4-DCA in a dose-dependent manner, and the expression of the inflammation marker il-1β increased. Conclusion Our results indicated that exposure to 3,4-DCA induced fatty liver in zebrafish larvae and that this, in association with additional factors such as ER stress response, can promote liver damage. We accordingly suggest that 3,4-DCA could be used to induce fatty liver in zebrafish larvae.

본 연구는 Scholes & Wolfson(1992) 의 「Taxes and Business Sstrategy」에서 효율적으로 세무계획을 하려면 투자와 자금조달결정에 있어서 외형적 조세(Explicit Tax)뿐만 아니라 내재적 조세(Implicit Tax)와 같은 간접적인 세금의 효과도 고려해야 한다는데 착안하여 우리 나라 기업소득에 대한 내재적 조세를 이론적으로 분석하고, 실증적으로 검증하였다. 그리고 내재적 조세의 발생에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 원인변수인 조세혜택에 기업특성변수가 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 조세혜택기업(租稅惠澤企業)과 조세비혜택기업(租稅非惠澤企業) 사이에 부채비율, 수출비율, 자본집약도입비율, 이익증가율 등은 유의적인 차이가 있었지만, 기업규모, 연구개발비율은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 기업에 대한 조세혜택의 증가가 세전자기자본수익률의 감소를 가져올 것이라는 내재적 조세가설(內在的 租稅假說)을 실증분석한 결과 표본기간에 걸쳐 표본전체기업을 대상으로 한 분석에서는 독립변수인 세전자기자본조세혜택비율(稅前自己資本租稅惠澤比率)과 종속변수인 세전자기자본수익율(稅前自己資本收益率) 간에는 유의적인 음(-)의 상관관계가 나타나 내재적 조세가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. Previous horizontal equity studies have measured the variation in explicit taxes only, when both implicit and explicit taxes are considered, apparent horizontal in equity disappear and all that remains is variation due to market imperfection. Researchers have long known of suspected that omitting implicit taxes is a problem in the examining of horizontal equity on the total tax burden. Scholes and Wolfson's(1992) definition of implicit taxes and the advent of experimental markets research provide opportunities to demonstrate the effects of implicit taxes on the measurement of horizontal equity. The concept of implicit tax is based on perfectly competitive market at equilibrium. So the after-tax returns of all investments are equal after adjusting for risk. The empirical test was complied to these two sub samples. tax-advantaged firms and tax-disadvantaged firms. The result of study provides an empirical evidence that there exists a significant inverse relation between pre-tax return and tax subsidy among only tax-disadvantaged firms listed on the korean stock market. Results of previous empirical studies are consistent with the predictions of implicit tax by hypothesis and are statistically significant inverse relation between tax subsidy(PTTSE) and pre-tax return(PTROE), but the empirical relation is weaker than predicted for a pertectly competitive and frictionless market, which is due to presence of market frictions or systematic measurement error. There finding should allow policy makers to enact more effective legislation and enable researchers to construct experiments that have greater power and more internal validity.

This study was to investigate the structural behavior of braced-frame systems with slit damper. For this study, push-over analysis was carried out to investigate the difference of structural behavior between the braced frame system without slit-plate dampers and the braced frame system with slit-plate dampers. The braced-frame systems with slit plate dampers were more effective than the braced-systems without slit-plate dampers: (1) The plastic hinges which were happened at damper were decentralized each story so that the plastic deformation of the main frames were decreased. (2) The ductilities of the former structure were increased.

본 연구는 측모 두부 규격 방사선사진을 이용하여 성장 중인 아동의 제4경추 형태를 경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도에 따라 분류하고 초경의 시기와 수완부 골 성숙 단계를 평가하여, 성장 중인 아동의 골격적 부정교합의 진단 및 악정형 치료를 위한 성장 시기 평가에 제4경추의 형태 변화가 진단의 참고자료로 활용될 수 있는지를 연구하였다. 11-14세 여자 환자 중, 같은 날짜에 촬영된 측모 두부 규격 방사선사진과 수완부 방사선사진이 모두 있는 81명을 대상으로 환자의 측모 두부 규격 방사선사진상 제4경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도에 따라 세 그룹으로 분류하였다. (Group A - 제4경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도가 1.05 mm 이하, Group B -제4경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도가 1.05- 2.07 mm 사이, Group C -제4경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도가 2.07 mm 이상)세 그룹에서 각각 제4경추 몸체부의 수직 길이, 수평 길이, 수직/수평 비율, 초경의 시기, 수완부 골 성숙 단계를 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 평균 수완부 골 성숙 단계는 Group A가 SMI 5.67 ± 2.57단계, Group B는 SMI 8,73 ± 2.41 단계, Group C는 SMI 10.00 ± 1.47단계로 나타났다. GroupA에서 Group B, Group C로 갈수록 제4경추의 수직 길이, 수평 길이, 수직/수평 비율, 수완부 골 성숙 단계에 있어서 각각 유의하게 더 큰 값을 보였다. 본 연구대상 아동의 평균 초경 시기는 11.64 ± 0.92세를 보였다. 제4경추 몸체부 하연의 만곡 정도, 수직 길이, 수평 길이, 수직/수평 비율은 수완부 골 성숙 단계와 각각 서로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 초경을 경험한 그룹이 초경을 경험하지 않은 그룹에 비해 제4경추의 수직 길이, 수평 길이, 수직/수평 비율, 수완부 골 성숙 단계에 있어서 유의하게 큰 값을 보였다. 연구 결과 측모 두부 규격 방사선사진상 제4경추 하연의 만곡 깊이가 2.07 mm 이상인 경우 성장의 완료 단계에 가까운 시기로 나타나 이 시기의 악정형적 치료는 큰 효과를 얻을 수 없을 것으로 사료된다. Objective: This study analyzed the morphologic changes of the fourth cervical vertebra body to determine the skeletal age of orthodontic patients during growth. Methods: Eighty-one female patients aged from 11 to 14 who had cephalograms taken on the same day were examined. The subjects were divided into three groups depending on the depth of the concavity of the lower border of the fourth cervical vertebra (Group A: less than 1.05 mm, Group B: 1.05 - 2.07 mm, Group C: greater than 2.07 mm). Menarcheal timing, SMI stage, length, width and ratio of length and width of the fourth cervical vertebra body were analyzed and the following results were obtained. Results: The average SMI stage of group A,B and C were 5.67 ± 2.57, 8.73 ± 2.41, and 10.00 ± 1.47, respectively. Length, width, ratio of length and width, and SMI stage were greater in group B than group A and in group C than group B. Mean menarcheal timing was 11.64 ± 0.92 years. Concavity depth, length, width, ratio of length and width showed a significant positive correlation with SMI stage, especially with the concavity depth. Conclusion: The results of this study propose a simple method for determining the timing of orthopedic treatment by measuring the concavity depth of the fourth cervical vertebra on the cephalogram.
