In this paper, we proposed a hardware-oriented Genetic Algorithm Processor(GAP) based on subpopulation architecture for high-performance convergence and reducing computation time. The proposed architecture was applied to enhancing population diversity for correspondence to premature convergence. In addition, the crossover operator selection and linear ranking subpop selection were newly employed for efficient exploration. As stochastic search space selection through linear ranking and suitable genetic operator selection with respect to the convergence state of each subpopulation was used, the elapsed time of searching optimal solution was shortened. In the experiments, the computation speed was increased by over $10\%$ compared to survival-based GA and Modified-tournament GA. Especially, increased by over $20\%$ in the multi-modal function. The proposed Subpop GA processor was implemented on FPGA device APEX EP20K600EBC652-3 of AGENT 2000 design kit.

이 연구는 Mn과 Pb의 노출이 면역체계에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 남성 근로자 42 명으로, 대상자 중 13명은 사무직 근로자(실험군 I), 21 명은 제조업 사업장 근로자(실험군 II), 8명은 용접 작업자(실험군 III)였다. 대상자의 혈액 중 Mn과 Pb 농도는 실험군별로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 실험군 I 대상자의 CD19+와 total lymphocytes 농도는 기타의 실험군 대상자에서보다 유의하게 높았으나 다른 T lymphocytes subpopulation의 농도는 차이가 없었다. Mn과 Pb 농도는 T lymphocytes subpopulation과 음의 상관관계를 보였으나, Mn은 CD4+CD45RO+와 자연살해세포를 제외한 T lymphocytes subpopulation과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. Pb 농도는 단지 total lymphocytes 농도와 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 이 연구에서 Mn과 Pb의 직업적인 노출은 세포성면역계에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Background: Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species of forest understory vegetation, is an herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Aristolochiaceae. The metapopulation of A. sieboldii is distributed sparsely and has a short seed dispersal distance by ants as their seed distributor. It is known that many flowers of A. sieboldii depend on self-fertilization. Because these characteristics can affect negatively in genetic structure, investigating habitat structure and assessment of genetic structure is needed. A total of 27 individuals in a valley were sampled for measuring genetic diversity, genetic distance, and genetic differentiation by RAPDPCR. Results: The habitat areas of A. sieboldii metapopulation were relatively small (3.78~33.60 m²) and population density was very low (five to seven individuals in 20×20 m quadrat). The habitat of A. sieboldii was a very shady (relative light intensity = 0.9%) and mature forest with a high evenness value (J = 0.81~0.99) and a low dominance value (D = 0.19~0.28). The total genetic diversity of A. sieboldii was quite high (h = 0.338, I = 0.506). A total of 33 band loci were observed in five selected primers, and 31 band loci (94%) were polymorphic. However, genetic differentiation along the valley was highly progressed (G_st = 0.548, N_m = 0.412). The average genetic distance between subpopulations was 0.387. The results of AMOVA showed 52.77% of variance occurs among populations, which is evidence of population structuring. Conclusions: It is expected that a small-scale founder effect had occurred, an individual spread far from the original subpopulation formed a new subpopulation. However, geographical distance between individuals would have been far and genetic flow occurred only within each subpopulation because of the low density of population. This made significant genetic distance between the original and new population by distance. Although genetic diversity of A. sieboldii metapopulation is not as low as concerned, the subpopulation of A. sieboldii can disappear by stochastic events due to small subpopulation size and low density of population. To prevent genetic isolation and to enhance the stable population size, conservative efforts such as increasing the size of each subpopulation or the connection between subpopulations are needed.

It has well studied that immune cells are strongly related to tumor progression and tumor suppression. To identify the difference of immune cell between tumor bearing mice and normal mice, we examined systemically the immune cell of CT26 tumor bearing mice on 21 days after tumor cell administration. As previously reported, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells population of tumor bearing mice significantly decreased 38% and 30% on day 21 compared to that of normal mice, respectively. All subpopulation of CD4 and CD8+ T cell significantly decreased, except CD49b+ T cell subpopulation. But, myeloid cell population ($CD11b^{high}$ and all Gr-1+ subpopulation) of tumor bearing mice significantly increased on day 21. Especially, all subpopulation of CD11b+Gr-1+ cell of tumor bearing mice significantly increased on day 21. Also, Foxp3+$CD25^{high}$ CD4 T cell (regulatory T cells) population significantly increased on day 21. These results suggest that tumor can induce the decline of T lymphocyte and the expansion of myeloid cells and regulatory T cells, and provide the basic information for the study of tumor immunology.

Studies of cancer heterogeneity have received considerable attention recently, because the presence or absence of resistant sub-clones may determine whether or not certain therapeutic treatments are effective. Previously, we have reported G64, a co-regulated gene module composed of 64 different genes, can differentiate tumor intra- or inter-subpopulations in lung adenocarcinomas (LADCs). Here, we investigated whether the G64 module genes were also expressed distinctively in different subpopulations of other cancers. RNA sequencing-based transcriptome data derived from 22 cancers, except LADC, were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Interestingly, the 22 cancers also expressed the G64 genes in a correlated manner, as observed previously in an LADC study. Considering that gene expression levels were continuous among different tumor samples, tumor subpopulations were investigated using extreme expressional ranges of G64-i.e., tumor subpopulation with the lowest 15% of G64 expression, tumor subpopulation with the highest 15% of G64 expression, and tumor subpopulation with intermediate expression. In each of the 22 cancers, we examined whether patient survival was different among the three different subgroups and found that G64 could differentiate tumor subpopulations in six other cancers, including sarcoma, kidney, brain, liver, and esophageal cancers.

We have previously observed that glycyrrhizin(GL) inhibits the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells via the production of nitric oxide from peritoneal macrophages. In the present study, we examined the effect of GL on Iymphocytes subpopulation change of L1210 cells-transplanted mice. GL increased the population of $CD4^-CD8^+$ cells of thymocytes in L1210 cells-transplanted mice and the lucigenin chemiluminescence of human polymorphonuclear cells. These results suggest that the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells is partly inhibited by an enhancement of cytotoxic T cells population and phagocytic activity in GL-administered mice.

Enzootic bovine leukosis(EBL) is chronic disease caused by bovine leukemia virus(BLV), retroviridae. The characteristic feature of this disease is proliferation of lymphocytes in circulating blood or lymphoid tissues. Because EBL concern lymphocytes, immunological disorder or alteration in the lymphocyte subpopulation is suggested. In this study, we investigated the changes of the lymphocyte subpopulation in the circulating blood of Korean native cattle infected with bovine leukemia virus. (omitted)

Background : Nowadays asthma is considered to be an inflamatory disease characterized by airborne hyper-responsiveness and pulmonary eosinophilia. Objective : We aimed to identify the effects of Sochongryongtang on blood eosinophil, serum IgE and T lympocyte subpopulation in asthmatic patients. Material and Methods : The subjects consisted of fifteen patients with asthma who had been treated with Sochongryongtang for two weeks from February 2001 through June 2001. Sochongryongtang is herbal decoction which has been used for the traditional therapeutic agent of asthma. Results : The blood eosinophil and serum IgE in a normal controlled group. However, the T lympocyte subpopulation in asthmatic patients was not significantly different from the T lympocyte subpopulation in a normal group. The patients were treated with Sochongryongtang for two weeks. No significant difference in the blood eosinophil, serum IgE and T Iympocyte in the sub population. After treatment with Sochongryongtang for two weeks, FEV 1 increased significantly over 0.5 points out of total scores. Conclusion : This study shows that Sochongryongtang has effects on improvement of pulmonary function and quality of life in asthmatic patients. However, the patients who were treated with Sochongryongtang for two weeks showed no significant difference in the blood eosinophil, serum IgE and T lympocyte subpopulation. Further long-term studies must be made on a large number of asthmatic patients.

동의학(東醫學)에서는 질병의 발생에 대하여 정기(正氣)의 강약(强弱)에 그 관건(關鍵)이 있다하였다. 그리하여 모든 질병의 치료에 있어서도 정기(正氣)의 회복에 중점을 두는 부정법(扶正法)이나 거사법(祛邪法)을 사용하면서도 정기(正氣)에 손상(損傷)을 입히지 않도록 많은 관심을 기우리고 있다. 암(癌)의 치료 또한 정기(正氣)가 얼마만큼 보충되는가에 따라 항병능력(抗病能力)이 항진(亢進)된다할 수 있을 것이다. 현재 국내외적(國內外的)으로 악성종양(惡性腫瘍)을 치료하기 위하여 다방면으로 연구를 하고 있으며, 또한 실제로 사용하고 있는 치료방법들로는 수술요법(手術療法) 방사선요법(放射線療法) 면역료법(免疫療法) 화학요법(化學療法)등이 있지만 아직까지는 미흡한 상태라 할 수 있을 것이다. 현재 일반적으로 항암제(抗癌劑)를 이용한 화학요법(化學療法) 등이 사용되고 있고, 면역료법(免疫療法)을 위한 많은 방법들이 연구되고 있어 본 저자(著者)들은 천문동(天門冬)이 면역세포(免疫細胞)의 증식(增殖)을 촉진시켜주면서 항암작용(抗癌作用)이 있을 것으로 사료(思料)되는 바 피부암세포(皮膚癌細胞)인 A431 cell line과 골수암세포(骨髓癌細胞)인 KHOS-NP cell line에 천문동(天門冬)을 투여(投與)하여 암세포(癌細胞)의 증식(增殖)을 살펴보고, 면역세포(免疫細胞)인 T cell과 B cell의 증식(增殖)을 살펴보았다. 또한 복강내(腹腔內) macrophage에서 분비되는 NO의 양(量)을 In vitro와 In vivo실험(實驗)을 통하여 살펴보았고, T cell의 apoptosis 및 subpopulation의 양(量)을 관찰하였다. 이 결과(結果) 천문동(天門冬)은 A431 cell 및 KHOS-NP cell에 항암작용(抗癌作用)을 보였고, T-cell의 증식(增殖)을 촉진시켰으며, 마우스 복강내(腹腔內) macrophage에서 분비(分泌)되는 NO의 양(量)을 감소시켜고, T cell의 apoptosis에 있어서는 대조군(對照群)에 비하여 유의성(有意性)있게 증가(增加)시켰으며, subpopulation에서는 $T_H$ cell을 증가(增加)시켰다. 그리하여 천문동(天門冬)은 항암작용(抗癌作用) 뿐만아니라 면역세포(免疫細胞)의 증식(增殖)에도 관여하는 약물(藥物)로 인정(認定)할 수 있을 것으로 사료(思料)된다.
