Relationship Between K_trans and K₁ with Simultaneous Versus Separate MR/PET in Rabbits with VX2 Tumors

Lee, K. H.,Kang, S. K.,Goo, J. M.,Lee, J. S.,Cheon, G. J.,Seo, S.,Hwang, E. J. INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH 2017 Anticancer research Vol.37 No.3

<P>Background/Aim: To compare the relationship between Ktrans from DCE-MRI and K1 from dynamic (NNH3)-N-13- PET, with simultaneous and separate MR/PET in the VX-2 rabbit carcinoma model. Materials and Methods: MR/PET was performed simultaneously and separately, 14 and 15 days after VX-2 tumor implantation at the paravertebral muscle. The Ktrans and K-1 values were estimated using an in-house software program. The relationships between Ktrans and K-1 were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and linear/non-linear regression function. Results: Assuming a linear relationship, Ktrans and K-1 exhibited a moderate positive correlations with both simultaneous ( r=0.54-0.57) and separate ( r=0.53-0.69) imaging. However, while the Ktrans and K-1 from separate imaging were linearly correlated, those from simultaneous imaging exhibited a non-linear relationship. The amount of change in K-1 associated with a unit increase in Ktrans varied depending on Ktrans values. Conclusion: The relationship between K-trans and K-1 may be mis-interpreted with separate MR and PET acquisition.</P>

The nationally-governed examinations for certification of allied health professions in Korea have been continued for thirty three years. During that time, there were a lot of managerial improvements in carrying out the examinations, for example, the looking-over the papers converted from manual method to computerized one. Nevertheless, the overall aspects of item management in the national examinations are still remained as obsolete style. In some developed countries they have already tried or adopted computerized system in making questions, executing item analysis, developing item banking, and in overall management of examinations, looking over papers for their national licensure examinations, and have established good reputations. Since the National Health Personnel Licensing Examination Board was established in 1998, now we can expect there would be a lots of improvements in the managerial systems and organizational structures associated with the national licensing examinations suggesting followings. 1. The contents and scope of the licensing examinations based on job analysis should be announced publicaly. 2. Items should be developed based on the scopes and contents of job characteristics. 3. All the developed items for the licensing examinations should be tested quantitatively prior to banking items. 4. All the parameters of the stored items should be fully estimated through item response theory. 5. All the efforts should be given in order to execute the examinations in individual residential areas on behalf of every examinee. 6. To the licensing examination system the Computerized Adaptive Testing system should be introduced in order to enhance the efficiencies. 7. Security enhancement on the stored items should be reminded in order to prevent leaking out the banking items. 8. Much more improvements should be made for the proper job evaluations. 9. Every efforts should be given to prevent cheatings encountable during the examinations. 10. Make the best of professional volunteers from the various fields in the execution of licensing examinations. 11. Consider a new system in that examinations can be executed twice or more in a year. 12. The current methods of presiding over the examinations should be replaced by a more reasonable one. 13. The results of the examinations should be announced as soon as possible in order not to prolong the examinees' unemployment periods. 14. The National Health Personnel Licensing Examination Board should try to rationalize the management keeping step with the information-oriented society.

S6K1 Phosphorylation of H2B Mediates EZH2 Trimethylation of H3: A Determinant of Early Adipogenesis

Yi, S.,Um, S.,Lee, J.,Yoo, J.,Bang, S.,Park, E.,Lee, M.,Nam, K.,Jeon, Y.,Park, J.,You, J.,Lee, S.J.,Bae, G.U.,Rhie, J.,Kozma, Sara C.,Thomas, G.,Han, J.W. Cell Press 2016 Molecular Cell Vol.62 No.3

S6K1 has been implicated in a number of key metabolic responses, which contribute to obesity. Critical among these is the control of a transcriptional program required for the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells to the adipocytic lineage. However, in contrast to its role in the cytosol, the functions and targets of nuclear S6K1 are unknown. Here, we show that adipogenic stimuli trigger nuclear translocation of S6K1, leading to H2BS36 phosphorylation and recruitment of EZH2 to H3, which mediates H3K27 trimethylation. This blocks Wnt gene expression, inducing the upregulation of PPARγ and Cebpa and driving increased adipogenesis. Consistent with this finding, white adipose tissue from S6K1-deficient mice exhibits no detectable H2BS36 phosphorylation or H3K27 trimethylation, whereas both responses are highly elevated in obese humans or in mice fed a high-fat diet. These findings define an S6K1-dependent mechanism in early adipogenesis, contributing to the promotion of obesity.

Runx3 is required for the differentiation of lung epithelial cells and suppression of lung cancer

Human lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent form of lung cancer, is characterized by many molecular abnormalities. K-ras mutations are associated with the initiation of lung adenocarcinomas, but K-ras-independent mechanisms may also initiate lung tumors. Here, we find that the runt-related transcription factor Runx3 is essential for normal murine lung development and is a tumor suppressor that prevents lung adenocarcinoma. Runx3−/− mice, which die soon after birth, exhibit alveolar hyperplasia. Importantly, Runx3−/− bronchioli exhibit impaired differentiation, as evidenced by the accumulation of epithelial cells containing specific markers for both alveolar (that is SP-B) and bronchiolar (that is CC10) lineages. Runx3−/− epithelial cells also express Bmi1, which supports self-renewal of stem cells. Lung adenomas spontaneously develop in aging Runx3+/− mice (∼18 months after birth) and invariably exhibit reduced levels of Runx3. As K-ras mutations are very rare in these adenomas, Runx3+/− mice provide an animal model for lung tumorigenesis that recapitulates the preneoplastic stage of human lung adenocarcinoma development, which is independent of K-Ras mutation. We conclude that Runx3 is essential for lung epithelial cell differentiation, and that downregulation of Runx3 is causally linked to the preneoplastic stage of lung adenocarcinoma.

This experiment was conducted to improve the meat production and quality of cockerels by controling the function of thyroid and gonad with the hormone preparations. Three weeks old 180 Rhode island red cockerels were divided into six group : iodocasein treatment group, tapazol treatment group, D.E.S. treatment group, D.E.S.+iodocasein treatment group, D.E.S.+tapazol treatment group and control group. Each group was then divided into two groups of 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment, arranging the cockerels 15 each. Iodocasein of 0.25 per cent of the basal ration and tapazol in dose of 0.3 ㎎ per Kg of body weight were administered with the basal ration, and 0.75 ㎎ of D.E.S. was implanted subcutaneously at the head. Body weight was measured weekly to investigate the growth rate and daily gain. Sacrifice was done at the certain days after treatment, and carcass percentage and organ weight were observed. Histological observation on thyroid and gonad was conducted at the same time. The results obtained areas follows; 1. The body weight of D. E. S. group, Tap. group and D. E. S. +Tap. group at the end of experimental period were 1452.37±17.61g and 1473.53±16.18g respectively, showing the increasing significance with P<0.05 as compared with 1305.93±21.67g of control group. Iodo. group and D.E.S.+Iodo. group were lighter than control group, but no significance was recognized. 2. Daily gain and carcass percentage were changed as a similar tendency, showing the significance with P<0.05 after 4 weeks and no significance after 8 weeks. Generally high value was obtained in the group treated with D.E.S. and tapazol. 3. Among the meat compositions any marked difference was not recognized in moisture and crude ash cntents of the experimental groups. Crude protein contents were comparatively more in control group (19.87%) than in treatment groups. As compared with 3.39% of control group, crude fat contents of Tap. grop, D. E. S. group anud D. E. S. +Tap. group were 4.44%, 4.22% and 5.35% respectively. 4. Improved effects on feed convertion rate were obtained in the groups treated with D.E.S. and tapazol. D.E.S.+Tap. group was best : 2.61 on the mean. 5. Comb and wattle weights were changed as a similar tendency, showing the significance with p<0.01 after 4 and 8 weeks. Those of all treatment groups were lighter than of control group, particularly in the groups treated with D.E.S. they were atrophied extremely. 6. Generally weights of head, heart, spleen, gizzard and liver were in proportion to body weight. 7. Whole viscera weight showed the significance with p<0.01 among the treatment groups after 4 and 8 weeks. Those of the groups treated with tapazol and D.E.S. were heavier than of control group. 8. Cloacal thymus weight showed the significance with p<0.05. That of control group was heaviest, being heavier after 4 weeks than after 8 weeks. Meat production and quality cockerels was improved successively by decreasing more or less the function of thyroid and gonad with tapazol and D.E.S. treatment. Only use of tapazol or D.E.S. was fairly effective. Because the iodocasein administration caused the growth restraint and derease of fats, it was worthless for practical application.

Human leptospirosis was an unfamiliar disease in Korea until 1984 that outbreak of leptospirosis occurred among farmers and soldiers after field works for harvesting rice. During that time, Lee and Jo confirmed the first Korean cases of leptospirosis by serological test, isolation of causative agent and autopy findings. Afterward several outbreaks occurred also during autumn especially after flood in every years and some characterisitcs of leptospirosis in Korea such as clinical manifestations, serotypes and seroepidemiological features has been revealed by many investigators. Because of the major mode of transmission between rodents and human is by direct contact with leptospiral urine of rodents or contaminated soil by the urine, leptospirosis in Korea has been primarily a disease of person in occupations heavily exposed to contaminated soil or infected urine such as farmer, army and etc. Therefore it seems that leptospirosis is one of the main communicable diseases to be controlled urgently in Korea, for an agricultural people account for almost half of total Korean people. For clarifying the seroepidemiological patterns of human leptospirosis in Korea by sex, month region and main reacting serovars of L. interrogans among acute febrile disease occurred in 1987, 1,773 patient's sers with acute febrile episodes were tested by microagglutination test using 19 representative strains of leptospiral serogroup as antigen. All of those sera were collected from 10 collaborative clinics located in Kyunggi, Kangwon, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Chonbuk, Chonnam province and Seoul. The results wee summerized as follows. 1) Among 1,773 sera of patients with acute febrile episodes, 219 (12.4%) were seropositive to L. interrogans, 487(27.5%) to R. tsutsugamushi, 241(13.6%) to R.typhi and 160(90.0%) to Hantaan virus. 2) Among seropositives to L.interrogans, the male outnumbered the female, 65% and 35%. 3) For age distribution, 26.9% of seropositives to L.interrogans were fifties, 19.6% were forties, 9.1% were sixties, 5.9% were thirties and 4.1% were twenties. 4) Eighty three percent of seropositives had occurred between September and October in 1987 with a peak in September. 5) Main leptospiral serovars reactive to patient's sera were Icterohaemorrhagiae(54.3%), Canicola(31.0%), CH-48(13.2%), Tarassovi(0.9%)and Cynopteri(0.5%). 6) For regional distribution, 65.8% of seropositives to L.interrogans were residents from Chonbuk, 12.3% were Chonnam, 7.3% were Chungnam, 5.5% were Kyunggi and 1.4% were Kangwon.

Novel dentin phosphoprotein frameshift mutations in dentinogenesis imperfecta type II.</P><P>The dentin sialophosphoprotein (<I>DSPP</I>) gene encodes the most abundant non‐collagenous protein in tooth dentin and DSPP protein is cleaved into several segments including the highly phosphorylated dentin phosphoprotein (DPP). Mutations in the <I>DSPP</I> gene have been solely related to non‐syndromic form of hereditary dentin defects. We recruited three Korean families with dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) type II and sequenced the exons and exon–intron boundaries of the <I>DSPP</I> gene based on the candidate gene approach. Direct sequencing of PCR products and allele‐specific cloning of the highly repetitive exon 5 revealed novel single base pair (bp) deletional mutations (c.2688delT and c.3560delG) introducing hydrophobic amino acids in the hydrophilic repeat domain of the DPP coding region. All affected members of the three families showed exceptionally rapid pulp chambers obliteration, even before tooth eruption. Individuals with the c.3560delG mutation showed only mild, yellowish tooth discoloration, in contrast to the affected individuals from two families with c.2688delT mutation. We believe that these results will help us to understand the molecular pathogenesis of DGI type II as well as the normal process of dentin biomineralization.</P>

The prolyl isomerase Pin1 interacts with a ribosomal protein S6 kinase to enhance insulin-induced AP-1 activity and cellular transformation

Lee, N. Y.,Choi, H.-K.,Shim, J.-H.,Kang, K.-W.,Dong, Z.,Choi, H. S. Oxford University Press 2009 Carcinogenesis Vol.30 No.4

<P>Phosphorylation of proteins on serine or threonine residues that immediately precede proline (pSer/Thr-Pro) is specifically catalyzed by the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 and is a central signaling mechanism in cell proliferation and transformation. Although Pin1 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the molecular mechanism of Pin1 in HCC has not been completely elucidated. Here, we show that Pin1 interacts with p70S6K in vitro and ex vivo. Overexpression of Pin1 resulted in enhanced p70S6K phosphorylation induced by insulin in SK-HEP-1 cells. In contrast, Pin1(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibited significantly decreased insulin-induced p70S6K phosphorylation compared with Pin1(+/+) MEFs. Furthermore, Pin1 enhanced the insulin-induced extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation through its interaction with p70S6K, whereas the inhibition of p70S6K activity by rapamycin suppressed insulin-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in SK-HEP-1 cells. Hence, Pin1 affected activator protein-1 activity through p70S6K-ERK1/2 signaling in SK-HEP-1 cells. Most importantly, Pin1-overexpressing JB6 Cl41 cells enhanced neoplastic cell transformation promoted by insulin much more than green fluorescent protein-overexpressing JB6 Cl41 control cells. These results imply that Pin1 amplifies insulin signaling in hepatocarcinoma cells through its interaction with p70S6K, suggesting that Pin1 plays an important role in insulin-induced tumorigenesis and is a potential therapeutic target in hepatocarcinoma.</P>

Facile synthesis of an IRMOF-3 membrane on porous Al₂O₃ substrate via a sonochemical route

Lee, Y.R.,Cho, S.M.,Ahn, W.S.,Lee, C.H.,Lee, K.H.,Cho, W.S. Elsevier 2015 Microporous and mesoporous materials Vol.213 No.-

A densely-packed IRMOF-3 membrane (S-IRMOF-3(Mem)), ~55 μm in thickness, on an Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> disc support was prepared via a sonochemical synthesis route, and the optimal fabrication conditions were established. Bare IRMOF-3 particles (S-IRMOF-3(p)) were synthesized independently to analyze the contribution of the Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> support. The overall physicochemical properties of the IRMOF-3 products produced via the sonochemical route were superior to those prepared by microwave heating. The IRMOF-3 materials produced were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS-mapping, and N<SUB>2</SUB> adsorption-desorption measurements. S-IRMOF-3(p) exhibited satisfactory CO<SUB>2</SUB> adsorption capacities (54 mg/g at 298 K/1 bar; 732 mg/g at 298 K/20 bar) and CO<SUB>2</SUB>/N<SUB>2</SUB> selectivity (18 at 298 K/1 bar). Both S-IRMOF-3(Mem) and S-IRMOF-3(p) were assessed as a catalyst for a liquid phase Knoevenagel condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate. S-IRMOF-3(Mem) and S-IRMOF-3(p) showed comparable conversions (87-89%) with 100% selectivity after a 4 h reaction at 333 K. The heterogeneous nature of the catalyst was confirmed by a hot filtering experiment, and S-IRMOF-3(Mem) could be recovered easily after the reaction and be recycled several times with little change in product yield.
