<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Nanostructured pyropolymers contain significant amounts of redox-active heteroatoms, have high specific surface areas, and a defective carbon microstructure, indicating good potential for pseudocapacitive charge storage. In this study, nitrogen-enriched pyropolymer nanoparticles (N-PNs-50) are fabricated from polyaniline nanotubes through rapid pyrolysis at 50 °C min<SUP>−1</SUP>.

전격성 제1형 당뇨병은 특발성 당뇨병환자에서 임상 경과가 짧고 진단 당시 심각한 대사 합병증을 동반하면서 췌장 효소 수치가 높고 췌도 특이 자가항체가 음성인 새로운 아형으로 알려져 있으며, 일본과 일본 외에서의 유병률에는 차이가 있는 것으로 보인다. 아직 전격성 제1형 당뇨병의 발생 기전은 명확하지 않으며 유전적 감수성이 있는 개체에서 바이러스 감염 등의 환경적인 인자와의 연관성이 가능한 병태생리로 제시되고 있으며 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 요구된다. 저자들은 케톤산증으로 내원하여 전격성 제1형 당뇨병을 진단받은 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고 하는 바이다. Some patients with idiopathic type 1 diabetes have a fulminant disorder characterized by the absence of insulitis and of diabetes-related antibodies, a remarkably abrupt onset and high serum pancreatic enzyme concentrations. This is referred to as fulminant type 1 diabetes. A 29-year-old man suffering from abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting consulted to our hospital. Laboratory findings revealed high blood glucose level and the evidence of diabetic ketoacidosis, but the serum HbA1c was normal nevertheless. The low level of plasma C-peptide indicated the loss of endogenous insulin secretion. The patient satisfied the criteria for the diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes. After the patient has been treated with insulin, his symptoms were improved and abnormal laboratory data were normalized. We report this case with a review of the literature

Na Rae Choi,Chuleui Jung,Dae-Weon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.10

The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, has played an important role as one of the alternative pollinators. Recently, pathogens and parasites affect the life span and fecundity of their host and been isolated from B. terristris. In order to detect viral infection in the field populations of B. terristris, we collected adults and isolated total RNA for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR primers specific for several viruses such as deformed wing virus, Israel acute paralysis virus, Kashmir bee virus and black queen cell virus (BQCV) were newly designed and applied to gene amplification for cloning. Only BQCV was successfully amplified and sequenced, which suggests that BQCV may mainly infects the examined field population of B. terristris. To detect of capsid protein gene of BQCV, 4 selected regions were analyzed by primary PCR and 1 region was successfully amplified, which was further analyzed in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that BQCV was detected at concentrations as low as 0.1ng/μl total RNA. This result suggests that the detection via qRT-PCR can be applied for the rapid and sensitive diagnosis of BQCV infection in the field population as well as risk assessment of B. terristris.

The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, has played an important role as one of the alternative pollinators since the outbreak of honeybee collapse disorder. Recently, pathogens and parasites such as viruses, bacteria and mites, which affect the life span and fecundity of their host, have been discovered in B. terristris. In order to detect the microsporidian pathogen, Nosema Spp. in the field populations of B. terristris, we collected adults and isolated their genomic DNA for diagnostic PCR. The PCR primers specific for Nosema Spp. were newly designed and applied to gene amplification for cloning. Only small subunit ribosomal RNA(SSU rRNA) gene of N. ceranae was successfully amplified and sequenced among examined genes, which indicates that N. ceranae mainly infects the examined field population of B. terristris. To detect of SSU rRNA gene, two regions of SSU rRNA gene were selected by primary PCR analysis and further analyzed in quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that SSU rRNA of N. ceranae was detected at concentrations as low as 0.85 ng/μl genomic DNA. This result suggests that the detection via qRT-PCR can be applied for the rapid and sensitive diagnosis of N. ceranae infection in the field population as well as risk assessment of B. terristris.

Na Rae Choi,Chuleui Jung,Dae-Weon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.04

Bombus terrestris has played an important role in the pollination in agricultural fields for the alternatives in colony collapsing in the honeybee. Recently, some pathogens or parasites such as viruses, bacteria, mites have been discovered in B. terristris, which affects its life span and fecundity. In order to detect a microsporidian, Nosema apis. in the field population, we collected honeybees and isolated genomic DNA. PCR primers specific for 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) were synthesized and applied to gene amplification for cloning and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The amplified gene was cloned and sequenced to confirm the 16S rRNA gene. qRT-PCR analysis showed the detection limit of 16S rRNA of Nosema apis was approximately 0.5 ng/μl genomic DNA. This result suggests that detection via qRT-PCR can be applied for the diagnosis of pathogen infection.

Na Rae Choi,Chuleui Jung,Dae-Weon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2014 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2014 No.10

The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, plays an important role as one of alternative pollinators since the outbreak of honeybee colony collapse disorder. Recently, pathogens and parasites such as viruses, bacteria and mites affecting the life span and fecundity of their host have been discovered in B. terrestris. In this study, in order to detect viral infection in B. terrestris, we collected B. terrestris adults and isolated total RNA for diagnostic PCR. The PCR primers specific for pathogenic viruses were newly designed and applied to gene amplification for cloning and detection. Capsid protein gene of black queen cell virus (BQCV) among examined viral genes was only successfully amplified from collected bumble bee adults and sequenced. To optimize the detection of capsid protein gene of BQCV, 4 regions in the capsid protein gene were selected and further analyzed in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that capsid protein gene was directly detected with not more than 200 ng total RNA. This result suggests that an optimized detection via qRT-PCR can be applied for the rapid and sensitive diagnosis of BQCV infection in the field population as well as risk assessment of B. terrestris.

Risk Assessment of a Imported Industrial Insect, Bombus terrestris, Via Polymerase Chain Reaction

Na Rae Choi,Wook Hyun Cha,Chuleui Jung,Dae-Weon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2012 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2012 No.10

Currently, honeybee colonies are not stable and suffer from the infection of pathogens, affecting the pollination. For the alternatives to this difficulty, Bombus terrestris has been imported and used for pollination in agricultural fields. Although imported insects for pollination are very useful, the potential risk exposing to novel pathogens has been raised. To assess the risk primarily, we designed and synthesized PCR primers for detection of pathogens and parasites in B. terrestris. The samples were obtained from companies importing B. terrestris or field collections and genomic DNAs not showing physical shearing were purified. PCR for detection of pathogen- or parasite-specific gene revealed several DNA fragments were amplified in expected molecular size including Kashmir Bee Virus, Varroa jacobsoni, V. rindereri, Acarapis woodi and Aspergillus flavus. These amplified DNA fragments are in the process of cloning for DNA sequencing to confirm the target gene amplification. We also have plans to optimize the PCR conditions for each amplified target gene and try to develop biomarkers for diagnosis.
