    Notes: Abstract A two-stage, cyclic fed-batch bioprocess was designed, and its performance evaluated to improve rice α-amylase productivity by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica SMY2 (MatA, ade1, ura3, xpr2), ATCC 201847, containing a replicative plasmid coding for a rice α-amlyase. Transcription of the recombinant gene is controlled by the XPR2 promoter. The first stage (or growth stage) was operated in the fed-batch mode, and the growth medium, designed to maintain a constant high cell density (i.e., 60 g/l), was fed according to a predetermined and preprogrammed optimal feed rate which, in turn, maintained the specific cell growth rate at an optimal value (i.e., 0.1 h−1). Typically, when the volume in the first stage reached a preset value, a portion of culture broth (i.e., 55%) was transferred to the second stage (or production stage). The remaining cells in the growth stage were then fed with fresh growth medium according to the bioprocess control strategy developed, while induction of α-amylase expression and its production was taking place in the second stage. The second stage was also operated in the fed-batch mode, and the production medium designed to maintain a constant high cell density and high productivity of heterologous protein was fed at a predetermined and preprogrammed rate, which maintained the specific cell growth rate at an optimal level. The volumetric α-amylase productivity achieved (1835 units l−1 h−1) from the two-stage, cyclic fed-batch culture process was twofold higher than that of the fed-batch culture process. The genetic stability of the recombinant strain and the design of optimal media for growth and production stages are also critically important to a successful implementation of the two-stage, cyclic fed-batch process for production of heterologous protein.

    Notes: Catastrophic optical damage (COD) in Al-free InGaAs/InGaP 0.98 μm lasers has been investigated using real-time electroluminescence (EL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From EL images, we observed that multiple bright spots initiated from one of the facets and then propagated to the center of the cavity during the COD process. It is clarified by the TEM analysis that the propagation of bright spots resulted in 60-nm-wide Moiré fringe along the cavity and the crystalline phase of the active area became polycrystalline. Highly nonradiative polycrystalline phase of the active area is the major cause of COD failure in the Al-free 0.98 μm lasers. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background and objective The thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) is a receptor for a potent bronchoconstrictor, TBXA2 which is known to be related to bronchial asthma and myocardial infarction. TBXA2R antagonist and TBX synthase inhibitors have been found to be effective in the management of asthmatic patients. This study was aimed to evaluate whether genetic variants of TBXA2R may be related with development of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA)-intolerant asthma (AIA).Methods TBXA2R gene polymorphisms (TBXA2R+795T〉C, TBXA2R+924T〉C) were determined using a single-base extension method in 93 AIA patients compared with 172 patients with ASA-tolerant asthma (ATA) and 118 normal controls (NCs) recruited from the Korean population. HLA DPB1*0301 genotype was performed using a direct sequencing method.Results The rare C allele frequency of TBXA2R+795T〉C was significantly higher in AIA than in ATA (P=0.03) and the TBXA2R+795T〉C polymorphism was also associated with extent of percent fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) after the inhalation of lysine–acetyl salicylic acid in AIA patients (P=0.009); AIA patients homozygous for the +795 C allele had a greater percent fall of FEV1 compared with individuals with TBXA2R+795 CT or TT genotypes. The frequency of patients carrying both the TBXA2R+795T〉C rare allele and HLA DPB1*0301 was significantly higher in AIA patients (29.4%) than in ATA patients (7.3%) (P=0.008, odds ratio=5.3).Conclusion These results suggest that the polymorphism of TBXA2R+795T〉C may increase bronchoconstrictive response to ASA, which could contribute to the development of the AIA phenotype.

    Notes: Background A disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) is expressed in the lung by fibroblasts and bronchial smooth muscle cells. Given its structure and cellular provenance, ADAM33 may be associated with airway remodelling and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the ADAM33 gene have previously been associated with asthma susceptibility in the Caucasian population.Objective and Methods To assess whether genetic variants of ADAM33 are related to asthma in a Korean population, we conducted an association study of the ADAM33 gene with asthma susceptibility, bronchial hyper-reactivity and serum IgE in Korean asthmatics (n=326) and normal controls (n=151). Five of the 14 polymorphisms originally reported to be associated with asthma development (S1 G〉A, T1 T〉C, V-1 C〉A, V1 T〉A, V4 C〉G) were genotyped using single base extension and electrophoresis. Haplotypes and their frequencies were inferred using the algorithm implemented by the software Arlequin. Allele frequencies of each SNP and haplotypes were compared between the patients and the normal controls using logistic regression analysis.Results There was no significant difference in the distribution of SNPs and the six haplotypes between asthmatics and normal controls. All single SNPs and six haplotypes in ADAM33 were also analysed for the association with level of PC20 using general linear models. The distribution of the T1 T〉C SNP and one haplotype (ht4: GCGG) showed significant association with log-transformed PC20 methacholine level in the asthma patients (P=0.03 and 0.0007, respectively, using a co-dominant model).Conclusion Polymorphism of ADAM33 may contribute to development of BHR in asthma.

    Notes: Low energy ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) of refractory tungsten nitride films onto GaAs is attempted for the first time. This ion beam technique provides lower process pressure, and less ion damage to substrates and films than conventional reactive sputter deposition. Schottky diode characteristics of W/ and WNx/GaAs and their thermal stability were investigated by capping the refractory films with SiO2 films and subsequent annealing at 700–900 °C for 30 min. While both tungsten and tungsten nitride contacts were stable up to 850 °C, the tungsten nitride contact showed better thermal stability and higher Schottky barrier height. The Schottky barrier heights of W/ and WN0.27/GaAs diodes annealed at 850 °C were 0.71 and 0.84 eV, respectively. These preliminary results are comparable to those of the best results reported with the conventional sputtering methods.

    Notes: Photoluminescence of gallium nitride (GaN) layers 7.5–870 μm thick was studied with changes in temperature and excitation intensity. These layers were grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy on a buffer layer of aluminum nitride (AlN). The photoluminescence emission consists of the shallow-donor bound exciton at 3.471 eV and the free hole-to-electron bound to a donor (possibly a nitrogen vacancy VN or oxygen) transition at 3.40–3.433 eV. The peak position varies depending on the thickness of the GaN and AlN layers. The localized donor due to donor concentration fluctuation is attributed to the variable peak position. The observed 3.269 eV emission is attributed to a donor–acceptor pair transition. The relationship between the peak and the excitation intensity is described accurately by a theoretical description which yields Ed=32 meV and Ea=230 meV, which originate, respectively, from a silicon donor and carbon acceptor. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The atomic layer deposition technique has been applied to the growth of Al2O3 thin films on the substrates of Si(100), 100-nm-thick SiO2 covered Si(100) [SiO2/Si(100)], and 90-nm-thick TiN covered SiO2/Si(100). The growth rate of Al2O3 films was 0.19 nm/cycle and identical for all substrates employed under the surface controlled process. However, the optical properties of Al2O3 films were significantly affected by different substrates. The average interband-oscillator energy and refractive index parameter were determined to be 3.330 eV and 2.992×10−14 eV m2 for Al2O3 film grown on Si(100), while those for the film grown on SiO2/Si(100) were 4.492 eV and 2.074×10−14 eV m2, respectively. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection with status of p53 protein expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The expression of EBV gene and gene product, p53 protein and bcl-2 protein in NPC was histopathologically studied.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods and resultsIn-situ hybridization using oligonucleotide probe to EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) and immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies against EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), p53 protein and bcl-2 proteins were performed in 56 primary NPCs. EBERs were detected in 46 (82%) cases and LMP1 in 17 (30%) cases. While 30 of 32 (94%) cases in differentiated nonkeratinizing carcinoma (NKC, WHO type 2) and 16 of 17 (94%) cases in undifferentiated carcinoma (UC, WHO type 3) showed EBERs expression, neither five cases of keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (KSCC, WHO type 1) nor two cases of adenocarcinoma showed EBERs. bcl-2 protein was detected in 50 (89%) cases, but its expression did not depend on expression of LMP1. p53 protein was detected in 31 (55%) cases, and there was a correlation between expression of EBERs and p53 protein (P 〈 0.05) but not between LMP1 and p53 protein.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionIn this study, close association of NKC and UC but not KSCC with the latent infection with EBV was demonstrated. The induction of bcl-2 protein by LMP1, as shown in vitro, was not demonstrated. The association between overexpression of p53 protein and the presence of EBV suggests that some EBV-encoded protein, which may be different from LMP1, may play a role for nuclear accumulation of p53 protein.
