The market-based fisheries resources management system was reviewed and the improvement scheme was studied for seeking the sustainability of marine ecosystems and their fisheries resources. A demand-side policy is currently emerging to the management of fisheries resources by reducing over-exploitation, based on the consumer's selection. The role of consumers in the sustainable fishery was studied by comparing the social responsibility and consumer's activity between Korea and foreign countries and international NGO groups, based on the FAO guideline. The adoption of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)'s eco-labelling certificate was suggested by expanding the existing environment-friendly certification system in Korea. This new system will contribute to the protection of young immature fish and spawners in coastal and offshore fisheries as well as to the international trade of seafood in terms of fish products from well-managed fisheries. It is noted that the consumer's activities in the markets as regulators will contribute to the ecosystem health and sustainability.
This work presents a fabrication procedure to make large-area, size-tunable, periodically different shape metal arrays using nanosphere lithography (NSL) combined with ashing and annealing. A polystyrene (PS, 580 μm) monolayer, which was used as a mask, was obtained with a mixed solution of PS in methanol by multi-step spin coating. The mask morphology was changed by oxygen RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) ashing and temperature processing by microwave heating. The Au or Pt deposition resulted in size tunable nano patterns with different morphologies such as hole and dots. These processes allow outstanding control of the size and morphology of the particles. Various sizes of hole patterns were obtained by reducing the size of the PS sphere through the ashing process, and by increasing the size of the PS sphere through annealing treatment, which resulted in tcontrolling the size of the metallic nanoparticles from 30 nm to 230 nm.
Glass was fabricated using refused coal ore obtained from the Dogye coal mine in Samcheok. We additionally used soda ash and calcium carbonate to make a glass with the chemical composition of soda-lime glass, and we also used white, brown, and green glass cullet to make various kinds of colored glass. Transparent glass was fabricated by melting batch materials including refused coal ore at 1550˚C for 1 hr in an electrical furnace. The light transmittance and color chromaticity were measured by a UV/VIS/NIR spectrometer. Transparent glass with a light transmittance of over 80% was fabricated using normal refused coal ore and white glass cullet. Various kinds of colored glass with a light transmittance of 30-80% were fabricated using refused coal ore and brown or green glass cullet. The light transmittance of the mixed color glass samples, fabricated using normal refused coal ore and brown glass cullet and green glass cullet, indicated 30-47%, a relatively low value, in the condition of a cullet ratio of 20-50%. The characteristics of the color chromaticity of the glass samples were indicated in a chromaticity diagram by x-coordinates, y-coordinates, Y (lightness). The values of x-coordinates and y-coordinates were moved with a regular directional property according to the kind and amount of glass cullet. Therefore, we concluded that refused coal ore can be used for raw materials of color glass products like art glass and glass tile.
Epithelioid hemangioma is an unusual, which was at first described as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) in 1969 and misinterpreted as the same disease with Kimura’s disease. But now it represents a distinctive vascular tumor, a different entity with those inflammatory conditions. Here, we present a case of epithelioid hemangioma appearing as a diffuse gingival nodular mass in 33‐year‐old male who had suffered from the idiopathic sharp pain of left mandible area previously and later extended to left maxillary region, therefore the gingival lesion was clinically estimated as malignancy associated with neural invasion. CT images revealed the soft tissue mass restricted to left maxillary gingiva without infiltration to underlying maxillary alveolar bone. Histologically, the circumscribed soft tissue mass consist of solid sheets of epithelioid to spindled cells, expressing reactivity for neither cytokeratin AE1/3 nor HMB‐45, but for CD31, endothelial cell marker. Therefore, the lesion was pathologically diagnosed as epithelioid hemangioma. Diagnostic evaluation for the neurologic symptoms of the patient revealed the trigeminal neuralgia, accompanying with the present epithelioid hemangioma incidentally. Awareness of epithelioid hemangioma should be emphasized not to be misdiagnosed as malignant disease like an invasive squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, or angiosarcoma. Proper evaluation and interpretation for neural symptom may lead to the correct differential diagnosis and therapeutic intervention
젖소는 분만전후기에 당 및 지방대사를 조절하여 태아와 유선에서 요구하는 영양소를 충족하고자 한다. 이러한 대사적 적응과정에서 중요한 역할을 하는 호르몬으로 insulin을 꼽을 수 있으며, 특 히 지방조직에 작용하여 동물체내 필요한 에너지를 충족시키기 위해 지방산의 재배치를 촉진하고 분만전 말기에 insulin resistance를 야기시킨다. 분만전에 혈중 유리 지방산의 농도가 증가됨에 따라 insulin resistance가 발생하며 이것은 사료섭취량의 감소와 밀접한 관계가 있다. Insulin resistance을 완화시키는 물질로 PPARγ agoinst인 thiazolidinedione (TZD)는 분만전후기에 발 생하는 대사성 질병의 발생을 억제하여 젖소의 건강 및 유생산 증가를 도모할 수 있다고 사료된다.
경기도 시설재배지역에서 담배가루이를 채집하여 biotype, TYLCV 보독여부 및 Dinotefuran 등 16약제에 대한 3개 지역개체군별 약제감수성을 검정하였다. 11 개 시․군에서 담배가루이가 확인된 가운데 화성, 고양, 안성지역 담배가루이의 16S rRNA와 Mitochondrial cytochome oxidase I (MtCOI)의 유전자 분석을 통해 B. tabaci biotype의 확인한 결과 고양 일부지역(B-biotype)을 제외한 지역개체군은 Q-biotype을 판정되었다. 또한 2차적으로 계통유연관계(phylogenetic tree)를 분 석하였다. 채집곤충 및 기주식물의 Genomic DNA에 대해 TYLCV specific한 Primer를 이용 PCR을 통해 sequencing과 southern blot을 통해 검정한 결과 모든 지역에서 TYLCV는 검정되지 않았다. 채집한 담배가루이를 실내사육하면서 유묘 검정법을 통해 약제감수성을 검정한 결과, 지역별로 다소 차이는 있었지만 acetamiprid 등 니코티노이드계 약제들에 대해 Q-biotype의 경우 높은 저항성을 보인 반면, B-biotype의 경우 높은 감수성을 보여 대조되는 양상이었다.
Geopolymer is a term covering a class of synthetic aluminosilicate materials with potential use in a number of areas, but mainly as a replacement for Portland cement. In this study, geopolymers with fly ash and meta kaolin were prepared using KOH as an alkali activator and water glass. The effect of water glass on the microstructures and the compressive strength of the geopolymer was investigated. As the amount of water glass increased, the dissolved inorganic binder particles in the geopolymers increased due to polymerization, resulting in a dense microstructure. The meta kaolin-based geopolymer showed a better extent of polymerization and densification than that of the fly ash-based geopolymer. XRD data also suggested that polymerization in meta kaolin-based geopolymers should be active resulting in the formation of an amorphous phase with an increasing amount of water glass. The compressive strength of the geopolymer was also dependent on the amount of water glass. The compressive strength of the geopolymers from both fly ash and meta kaolin increased with an increasing amount of water glass because water glass improved the extent of polymerization of the inorganic binder and resulted in a dense microstructure. However, the addition of water glass to the geopolymer did not seem to be effective for the improvement of compressive strength because the meta kaolin-based geopolymer mainly consisted of a clay component. For this reason, the fly ash-based geopolymer showed a higher value of compressive strength than the meta-kaolin geopolymer.
Pluripotency and self-renewal capacity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are retained by hESCs related genes as OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. These genes are shown high expression level in diverse cancer cells and have potential role in the carcinogenesis. On the contrary to this, several genes which are up-regulated in the differentiated hESCs are involved to suppress the carcinogenesis or proliferation of cells. We discovered several genes in immortalized lung fibroblast (WI-38 VA13) by suppression subtractive hybridization. Among them, we focused chromosome 6 open reading frame 62 (C6orf62) which is uncharacterized, mapped to 6p22.3 and generated to Hepatitis B virus X-transactivated proteins (HBVx-transactivated proteins, XTP). Aim of this study was to characterize C6orf62 through analyzing of expression pattern in various cell lines. Expression of C6orf62 was significantly up- regulated in diverse normal cell lines than cancer cell lines. And C6orf62 was up-regulated in differentiated hESCs (endothelial cells, neural cells) compared to those of undifferentiated hESCs. Also, C6orf62 in WI-38 cells was highly up-regulated during G1/S transition of the cell cycle. Taken together, C6orf62 is shown expression pattern similar to differentiated hESCs-associated genes which down-regulated in cancer cells. Therefore, we assume that C6orf62 may participate to suppress the proliferation and to induce differentiation through regulating the cell cycle.
