플라보노이드는 식물의 주요 2차 대사산물 중 하나로 자외선 차단, 식물의 수분을 위한 곤충 유인 등 외부환경에 적응하는데 이로운 역할을 한다. 특히 플라보노이드는 항산화 효과가 우수한 것으로 알려져 노화방지와 생활습관 질병예방에 유용한 건강기능식품소재로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 플라보노이드의 생체이용률은 매우 낮으며 이러한 플라보노이드 흡수과정에 관한 생물학적기전은 최근에 조금씩 밝혀지기 시작하고 있다. 플라보노이드의 수송기전에는 세포 내에서 일어나는 소포체 매개 수송과 세포막 및 소기관 표면 단백질에 의한 막 수송체 매개 수송이 있다. 소포체 매개 수송의 경우 cellular trafficking에 의한 일련의 소포체 유래 vesicle의 융합 반응을 거쳐 식물 세포의 경우 액포 내에 플라보노이드가 축적되거나 세포 외부로 배출된다. 표면 단백질에 의해 플라보노이드의 세포막 흡수가 일어나게 되는데 ATP를 사용한 능동수송, 막 전위를 이용한 2차 수송에 관여하는 다수의 수송체들이 관여하는 것으로 보인다. 다양한 종류의 플라보노이드가 존재하는 만큼 플라보노이드 수송체도 다양하며 어쩌면 모든 플라보노이드의 특이적 수송체를 규명하는 것은 불가능 할 지도 모른다. 하지만 식품에 다량 존재하는 주요 플라보노이드를 모델 화합물로 이용한 연구를 수행하면 이에 관련된 주요 수송체 단백질과 관련 메커니즘에 대해 깊이 이해할 수 있고 이를 통해 생체 이용률을 향상시키는 방법을 생각해 볼 수 있으며 특히 낮은 혈중 농도 조건에서도 조직 세포 내에 플라보노이드 축적을 통해 건강 기능성을 최적화하는 노력을 기울이는데 적절한 과학적 방법을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) are used to transport mRNAs along neuronal dendrites to their site of translation. Staufen2 is an mRNA-binding protein expressed in the cell bodies and cellular processes of different brain cells. It is notably involved in the transport of dendritic mRNAs along microtubules. Its knockdown expression was shown to change spine morphology and impair synaptic functions. However, the identity of Staufen2-bound mRNAs in brain cells is still completely unknown. As a mean to identify these mRNAs, we immunoprecipitated Staufen2-containing mRNPs from embryonic rat brains and used a genome wide approach to identify Staufen2-associated mRNAs. The genome wide approach identified 1780 mRNAs in Staufen2-containing mRNPs that code for proteins involved in cellular processes such as post-translational protein modifications, RNA metabolism, intracellular transport and translation. These results represent an additional and important step in the characterization of Staufen2- mediated neuronal functions in rat brains.

A. tamarense로부터 ESTs library를 제작하였다. 이들의 염기서열을 분석하여 STX 생합성 관련 유전자를 클로닝하였다. 연구결과 827 클론의 염기서열이 분석되었고, 564개의 EST가 GenBank에서의 Blast search를 사용하여 기능에 따라 분류되었다. EST에서의 주요 유전자는 cellular organization, cell metabolism, energy, cell cycle과 DNA processing, cellular transport와 transport, cell rescue, defense, death와 aging 및 transcription 등으로 분석되었다. 특히 S-adenosylmethionine synthetase와 H2A histone family 유전자의 발현이 독성 A. tamarense에서 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 두 개의 유전자가 A. tamarense에서의 삭시톡신 생합성을 검출하기 위한 좋은 바이오마커가 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

This paper considers the concept of analog computing based on a cellular neural network (CNN) paradigm to simulate nuclear reactor dynamics using a time-dependent second order form of the neutron transport equation. Instead of solving nuclear reactor dynamic equations numerically, which is time-consuming and suffers from such weaknesses as vulnerability to transient phenomena, accumulation of round-off errors and floating-point overflows, use is made of a new method based on a cellular neural network. The state-of-the-art shows the CNN as being an alternative solution to the conventional numerical computation method. Indeed CNN is an analog computing paradigm that performs ultra-fast calculations and provides accurate results. In this study use is made of the CNN model to simulate the space-time response of scalar flux distribution in steady state and transient conditions. The CNN model also is used to simulate step perturbation in the core. The accuracy and capability of the CNN model are examined in 2D Cartesian geometry for two fixed source problems, a mini-BWR assembly, and a TWIGL Seed/Blanket problem. We also use the CNN model concurrently for a typical small PWR assembly to simulate the effect of temperature feedback, poisons, and control rods on the scalar flux distribution.

In global competition manufacturing companies have to produce modern, new constructions from advanced materials in order to increase competitiveness. The aim of my research was to develop a new composite cellular plate structure, which can be primarily used for structural elements of road, rail, water and air transport vehicles (e.g. vehicle bodies, ship floors). The new structure is novel and innovative, because all materials of the components of the newly developed structure are composites (laminated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) deck plates with pultruded Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) stiffeners), furthermore combines the characteristics of sandwich and cellular plate structures. The material of the structure is much more advantageous than traditional steel materials, due mainly to its low density, resulting in weight savings, causing lower fuel consumption and less environmental damage. In the study the optimal construction of a given geometry of a structural element of a road truck trailer body was defined by single- and multi-objective optimization (minimal cost and weight). During the single-objective optimization the Flexible Tolerance Optimization method, while during the multi-objective optimization the Particle Swarm Optimization method were used. Seven design constraints were considered: maximum deflection of the structure, buckling of the composite plates, buckling of the stiffeners, stress in the composite plates, stress in the stiffeners, eigenfrequency of the structure, size constraint for design variables. It was confirmed that the developed structure can be used principally as structural elements of transport vehicles and unit load devices (containers) and can be applied also in building construction.

This study analysed the transport properties of bladder mucosa known as the typical system of 'tight epithelia' by using TEM observation with both rapid freeze-fracture electron microscopy and thin-section method and mainly analysed the cellular characteristics of turtle bladder epithelial cells. The bladder epithelium, like other tight epithelia, consists of a heterogenous population of cells. The majority of the mucosal cells are the granular cells and may function primarily in the process of active $Na^+$ reabsorption in turtle bladder. The remaining two types of cells are rich in mitochondria and is believed to be res-ponsible for a single major transport system, namely, $H^+$ transport by A-type of cell and urinary $HCO_{3}^-$ secretion by B-type of cell. As viewed in freeze-fracture electron micrograph, the tight junctions form a continuous tight seal around the epithelial cells, thus restricting diffusion in tight epithelia. In addition, the apical surface membranes have a population of rod-shaped intramembranous particles (IMPs). It is believed that these IMPs probably represent the components of the proton pump. However, it is likely that these characteristics of the apical transporter remain to be clarified in tight epithelial cells.

Recent molecular genetics studies have revealed that cyclic electron transport around photosystem I is essential for normal photosynthesis and growth of plants. Chloroplastic NAD(P)H dehydorgenase (NDH) complex, a homologue of the complex I in respiratory electron transport, is involved in one of two cyclic pathways. Recent studies on the function and structure of the NDH complex are reviewed.
