<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This is the first report that L(3)mbt-like 2 (L3MBTL2) specifically interacts with the histone deacetylase domain of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) via its MBT domain. Here, we show that L3MBTL2 selectively interacts with HDAC3, but not other class I HDACs. An in vitro peptide-binding assay demonstrated the specific association of HDAC3 with methylated histone-K20 tail and L3MBTL2. Furthermore, depletion of HDAC3 resulted in a decrease of methylated K20-H4, as well as an increase in acetylated histone H3. Consequently, HDAC3 knock-down selectively suppressed L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression. Taken together, our results reveal the concerted action of both HDAC3 and L3MBTL2 in histone deacetylation and methylation-dependent transcriptional repression.</P><P><B>Structured summary</B></P><P>MINT-7719975: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) and <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>colocalize</I> (MI:0403) by <I>fluorescence microscopy</I> (MI:0416)</P><P>MINT-7719941, MINT-7719921: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>binds</I> (MI:0407) to <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-7719991: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-7719958: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>anti tag coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0007)</P><P>MINT-7719897: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>two hybrid</I> (MI:0018)</P>

This study was performed to identify risk factors for depression among the elderly in a rural area. A survey was done for the elderly living in Gosam-myenn, Ansung-kun during the period of July 28, 1997 and July 30, 1997. Demographic and sodoeconornic characteristics, and functional and health Status were assessed using a structured questionnaire, and the level of depression was measured by GDS score. The data obtained were analyzed by frequencies, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression, and the results were as follows: 1. The total sample consisted of 133 elderly. Of them, 47 elderly (35.4%) showed significant depressive Symptoms. 2. The GDS score was the highest for the group over 85 years of age (p < 0.05). Those living alone or widowed showed lower GDS score than those living with someone or married (p < 0.05). 3. The GDS score was the highest in the absolutely dependent group, followed by the partially dependent group, and the independent group (p < 0.01). The elderly who perceived their health Status as excellent showed the lowest GDS score. In contrast, those who had more than five chronic diseases showed the highest GDS score. 4. The elderly receiving financial and emotional support from their family or friends showed lower GDS score compared to those without any support. 5. The economically dependent group showed higher GDS score than that of independent group. 6. The elderly who involved in leisure activities showed lower GDS score than those without any involvement. 7. In terms of risk factors for depression, we found that perceived health Status, subjective economic Status, leisure activities, living arrangement and financial support were inversely associated with GDS score, whereas labor support was positively associated with GDS score. Based upon the above findings, this study suggests that these risk factors for depression in the elderly should be taken into consideration for a comprehensive mental health program for the elderly living in the rural area.

The purpose of this study was to analyze consumers' perception of green marketing and purchase intention of green products. Questionnaire survey was conducted from 9 August to 29 August 2010. We have surveyed 298 consumers who were living in Cheongju area. Major findings are as follows. First, consumers' environment perception and involvement, awareness of green marketing, evaluation for green products, purchase intention of green products were generally positive. It means that Korean consumers have a positive attitude and behavioral intention for green consumption. Second, consumers responded high perception level for necessity of green marketing and purchase intention of green products. On the other hand, consumers think that green product manufacturers need to more protect our environment. Consumers evaluated the quality of green products is good but its price is high. Third, insufficient information was the most common response of the items asked for the resistance of the whole process for the production of green products. For benefit part, high quality and symbolic value of green consumer were given answer highly. Fourth, there were differences among the consumer groups from environment perception, awareness of green marketing, evaluation for green products, and purchase intention of green products by consumers' characteristics. Old aged group were high involved on environment and student group showed relatively low environment perception and involvement of green consumption. Four million won or less income groups were relatively higher interest in green products and eco-conscious consumer groups have a high degree of purchasing intention of green products.

An assay method using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltertrazolium bromide (MTT) is commonly utilized for analyzing cell viability. In this method, MTT tetrazolium is converted to formazan by mitochondrial reductase of viable cells. The formzan formed is, however, not stable; the stability is affected by various factors. In the present study, effects of zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) and different solvents on color response of formazan dye were investigated. MTT formazan was stable under dark; light enhanced the color degradation of formazan. ZnPP induced rapid degradation of formazan under light condition in DMSO solution. Decolorization of formazan was faster in aqueous solvents, including distilled water, HCl as well as Triton X-100 solution. Formazan dye was most unstable in HCl (0.1 N) regardless of light or presence of ZnPP. Color response of formazan dye in NaOH (0.1 N) was enhanced by ~2 folds as compared to one in DMSO. MTT formazan was stable in this condition; the color change was less than 10% even under light during 2 hr. ZnPP, however, induced rapid decolorizaion of formazan dissolved in NaOH under light. H2O2, an oxidizing agent, did not affect color response of MTT formazan. The present results suggest that various factors could affect the color response of MTT formazan, which needs to be considered carefully in MTT assay. Key words:MTT tetrazolium, formazan, zinc protoporphyrin, cell viability, sodium hydroxide.

In order to increase opportunities for students to enjoy the musical arts, it is necessary to develop musical arts programs that are based on students’ interests and the national (or provincial) curriculum, that can be systematically and effectively supported by teachers. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to develop those musical arts, carry out the programs in one elementary school and one middle school from October to December 2011, and analyze each implementation. For the analysis, lesson videos, students’ worksheets, in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and teaching artists, and lesson plans were collected. The conclusions and implications are as follows: 1) the role and meaning of musical arts programs based on national curriculum were more highlighted; 2) students could have great depth of aesthetic experience by the means of direct contact with professional musicians and concrete musical experience; 3) the role of music mediators and its importance was magnified; 4) there was a positive change in the musical preferences and attitudes of students with regard to the musical artsprograms. 본 연구는 학생들의 음악 예술 향수기회 확대를 위해 학생들의 흥미와 국가 교육과 정을 중심으로 하는 ‘현장성’, 교사들의 음악 교육을 효과적으로 지원할 수 있는 ‘체계성’, 그리고 음악 예술 전문가들과 학교 사이에 꾸준히 실행될 수 있는 ‘지속성’을 갖춘 음악예술프로그램을 2010년 10월부터 12월까지 초등학교와 중학교에 적용하고 그 결과를 분석하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 수업 동영상, 학생 활동지, 학생과 교사 심층인터뷰, 강사 인터뷰, 수업안 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결론은 첫째, 국가 교육과정을 반영한 음악 예술프로그램의 역할과 의미가 더욱 확장되었다. 둘째, 음악가들과의 직접적인 만남과 구체적인 예술적 체험을 통하여 학생들은 이전과 비교될 수 없는 ‘깊이 있는 미적 경험’을 하게 되었다. 셋째, 음악메디에이터의 역할이 부각되었다. 넷째, 음악예술프로그램을 통하여 학생들에게 음악에 대한 삶의 변화가 있었다.

The effects of dietary lactose supplementation on bone mineral density and bone mineral content in growing rats are uncharacterized. We studied growing female rats fed a diet either control of supplemented with lactose for 9 weeks. The animal was scanned to determine the BMD and BMC using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (FIXImus, GE Lunar Corporation, Madison, WI). Food intake and FER were not affected by loctose supplementation. But the lactose group had significantly higher spine bone mineral density(0.1517±0.0034(g/㎠) vs 0.1626±0.0095(g/㎠)) and spine bone mineral density/weight than the control group. And femur bone mineral density/weight as well as femur bone mineral content/weight were higher in the lactose supplemented group. These data suggest that lactose supplementation may be a useful way in growing children in which there is a desire to increase bone mineral density.

본 연구에서는 호주의 정신보건전략을 소개하고 우리의 지역정신보건에 함의하는 바를 생각해 보았다. 호주는 1992년 연방정부가 수립한 정신보건전략을 시작으로 탈시설화를 전폭적으로 시행에 옮김으로써 지역정신보건사업을 확장하여 실시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 호주의 정신보건제도를 연구하기 위하여 2001년 7월과 8월에 호주 멜버른대학교의 정신보건연구소에 체재하면서 관련기관을 방문하여 시설을 관찰하고 정부 담당자와 정신보건서비스기관의 전문가를 대상으로 면담조사를 실시하였다. 국가정신보건전략 이후 빅토리이주는 주정부의 리더십으로 재정문제해결과 정신보건사업 활성화를 이룩한 것을 살펴보았고 다양한 지역사회서비스의 특성을 살펴보았다. 호주의 지역정신보건의 전문화와 그 진행과정을 통해 우리가 주목할 점으로는, 우선 호주정부가 지역 정신보건에 대한 의지와 전략을 성실히 이행함으로써 재정적인 문제해결은 물론 정신장애인을 위한 지원을 확대한 점과 일정 인구비율에 따라 정신보건서비스가 지역적으로 균형이 잡혀 있고 비교적 접근가능성이 높은 점이다. 호주의 경험을 통해 우리의 정신보건 발전방안을 제안하였다. 중심단어 : 정신보건전략, 탈시설화, 지역정신보건, 팀접근 This study aims to introduce the national mental health strategy in Australia and to discuss about what it means to our mental health system. Starting 1992 Australia planned a national mental health strategy and fully implemented deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. In order to understand the mental health system I visited community mental health services and had interviews with their mental health workers in the state of Victoria of Australia during my stay at the Mental Health Unit at the School of Social Work, University of Melbourne in the period of July and August, 2001. In the state of Victoria, the state government closed down all of the mental hospitals and incorporated into the general hospital and established the area-based mental health services except the acute inpatient units which have only 20 beds in the general hospital. Looking at the characteristics and problems of Australian community mental health, what we koreans can learn include the Government's will for the improvement of mental health services and the balance and the accessibility of mental health services in each area. The ways of developing our mental health system have been suggested. Key Words : mental health strategy, deinstitutionalization, community mental health, team approach

This study was to investigate the cause of the color and turbidity in a small-scale water treatment plant using lakes water as water supply source. Water qualities in aqueducts, in depth of the lakes and in each process were measured. And effects of prechlorination on each unit operation in the water treatment, especially on iron and manganese removal, were studied. The concentration of iron and manganese was 0.13, 0.08 mg/L in the surface water and 1.93 and 0.433 mg/L in 15 m depth of the lake. Higher iron concentration of the inlet was measured to 5.35 mg/L which was caused by the steel aqueduct corrosion. The optimun coagulation dosages of Poly Aluminum Chloride(PAC) and Liquid Aluminum Sulfate (LAS) were 17.5 mg/L and 35 mg/L. Pretreatmnet of raw water with CaCOl improved the removal efficiencies of iron and manganes. However, more efficient method for removing iron and manganes was required.

한국인 제2형 당뇨병 환자의 골격근에서 인슐린 신호전달체계의 결함

최준혁,이관우,김효정,이동훈,이종우,김정은,엄현채,김경미,최성이,정윤석,김현만 대한내분비학회 2002 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.17 No.5

연구배경: 제2형 당뇨병에서 나타나는 인슐린 저항성은 간, 지방, 근육 같은 말초조직에서 인슐린의 작용이 떨어지는 것을 말한다. 제2형 당뇨병의 발생기전에 인슐린 저항성과 인슐린 분비능 저하가 같이 관여함은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 인슐린의 세포내에서의 저항성을 규명하기 위한 인슐린의 세포내 신호전달체계에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 몇몇 연구에서 인슐린 저항성을 가진 골격근육에서 IRS와 관련된 PI3-kinase의 활성감소와 Akt kinase의 활성감소를 보고하고 있으나 아직까지 명확하게 그 기작이 설명되어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정상성인, 제2형 당뇨병 환자를 대상으로 경구당부하검사 및 인슐린 클램프검사를 시행하고 인슐린 클램프 검사시 대상인의 근육을 채취하여 인슐린 신호전달 체계(IR-β, IRS, Akt(PKB, Rac) kinase, GSK-3)를 연구하였다. 방법: 연구대상자는 한국인으로서 경구당부하검사상 정상인 및 당뇨병 환자 각각 11명, 9명을 대상으로 하였으며, 정상인은 건강인으로 과거력상 당대사에 영향을 줄 질환이 없고, 현재 당대사에 영향을 줄 약물 복용 및 다른 소견이 없는 경구당부하검사상 정성 내당능을 보이는 대상자로 하였다. 당뇨병환자는 모두 제2형 당뇨병 환자로 이환기간이 만 5년 이내인 경우로 하고, 인슐린으로 치료하는 대상자는 제외하도록 하였다. 대상자의 연령, 체질량지수, 체지방량, 공복시 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 및 HbA1c, 인슐린, C-peptide를 측정하였고, "HOMA model"을 이용하여 베타세포의 기능와 인슐린저항성 정도를 평가하였다. 정상혈당클램프 검사(euhlycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test)를 시행하고 인슐린 투입 전과 인슐린 투입 30분후, 두차례에 걸쳐 대퇴부 근육생검을 실시한후 western 법으로 IR-β, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3의 인산화량을 측정하였다. 결과: 정상인 11명과 당뇨병 환자 9명을 대상으로 하였으며 대상자의 평균 연령, 평균 체질량지수, 체지방량, 허리/엉덩이 둘레의 비(waist hip ratio; WHR)는 두 군간에 차이가 없었다. 평균 공복혈당은 정상군 98.0±0.3㎎/dL, 당뇨병군 208.1±16.5㎎/dL(p<0.05), HbA1c는 정상군 5.4±0.5%, 당뇨병군 9.2±0.6%(p<0.05)였다. "HOMA model"을 이용한 베타세포의 기능과 인슐린저항성은 정상군 56.4±8.5%, 1.4±0.2, 당뇨병군 72.2±52.3%(p<0.01), 10.2±6.3(p<0.01)였으며 정상혈당클램프 검사상 포도당 이용률은 정상군 8.2±0.6㎎/㎏/min, 당뇨병군 3.7±1.1㎎/㎏/min(p<0.01)로 정상군과 당뇨병군간에 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. Western blot법으로 IR-β, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3의 인산화량을 인슐린 투입전과 인슐린 투입 30분후 측정하였을 때 IR-β에서는 정상군이 103.9±2.3에서 241.3±18.6, 당뇨군이 108.9±2.2에서 198.7±6.3으로 증가하였다(p=NS). 이는 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 통계적인 차이가 없었다. IRS에서는 정상군이 111.6±7.3에서 295.6±17.2, 당뇨군이 114.5±6.1에서 222.0±23.2로 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 24% 감소하였다. Akt kinase에서는 103.4±6.0에서 416.8±29.5로 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 43% 감소하였다. GSK-3에서는 정상군이 107.7±6.7에서 595.7±28.1, 당뇨군이 104.3±4.8에서 443.3±12.9로 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 25% 감소하였다. 결론: 제2형 당뇨병 환자에서 정상인과 비교하여 인슐린 자극후 IR-β는 인산화량의 증가정도가 큰 차이가 없었으나, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3에서는 인산화량의 증가 정도가 감소되는 것으로 보아 상위 인슐린 신호전단체계부터 결함이 있는 것으로 생각된다. Background: The glucose uptake rate is the limiting step in glucose utilization and storage. The failure of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in muscle appears to be a primary defect of insulin resistance. This study was undertaken to examine the effect of physiological hyperinsulinemia on the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR-β), insulin receptor substrate (IRS), Akt kinase and GSK-3 in isolated skeletal muscle, in people with type 2 diabetes(n=9) and control subjects(n=11). Methods: 75g OGTT and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test were done. And vastus lateralis muscle was obtained before and 30 min into the euglycemic clamp. Western blots were performed for tyrosine phosphroylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and phosphorylation of the insulin receptor(IR-β), Akt and GSK-3. Result: There were no statistical differences in the mean age, BMI and body fat between the control subjects and diabetic patients. The fasting blood sugar and HbA_1c in controls and diabetic patients were 98.0±0.3 and 208.1±16.5ng/dl, and 5.4±0.5 and 9.2±0.6%, and 1.4±0.2 in the control subjects, and 72.2±52.3%(p<0.01) and 10.2±6.3(p<0.01) in the diabetic patients, respectively. The insulin resistance from the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test were 8.2±0.6㎎/㎏/min and 3.7±1.1ng/㎏/min in the control subjects and in the diabetic patients, respectively(p<0.01). Compared with the normal controls, insulin-stimulated IR phosphorylation was no different to that in the diabetic patients. However, insulin-stimulated IRS phosphorylation, insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and insulin-stimulated GSK-3 phosphorylation were reduced in the diabetic patients compared with the normal controls by 24, 43 and 25%, respectively(p<0.05). Conclusion: In Korean type 2 diabetic patients, the insulin resistance may be due to the impairment of the upstream insulin signal molecular network. Further studies will focus on determining whether these signaling defects are the cause of the development of insulin resistance, or secondary to the altered metabolic state, associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 17:685∼697, 2002).
