Once limited to opportunistic private criminal groups, the concept of cyberattack transformed into a countrys important means to bolster national security and further propagate national stance in cyberspace. Henceforth, cyberspace emerges as compelling security realm. When compared to traditional security environment, judging the situation is convoluted on account of the unique characteristics of cyberspace. Under the amorphous nature of cyberspace, if anything, nations become more nationalized. The nature of cyber realm characterized by innate openness and hyper-connectivity will trigger structural change in cybersecurity landscape. Thus the thesis argues that although nations will actively interact and engage in collective initiatives fueled by the rising voice of forming global governance for cybersecurity, the overriding state sovereignty in the end would breed discord in the cyber era. Every move in cyberspace rests upon a nations political end thereby taking account of geopolitical interests assumes greater importance since invisible borderline matters. Given the nations inclination to utilize cyber capabilities for political ends, what happens in conventional security realm can also occur in cyberspace. The thesis chooses the US and China, allegedly Group of Two (G2), to study how both country take governmental measures vis-Γ -vis cybersecurity. Two great powers, with no doubt, are the pioneers in this emerging security realm. Not only both actively engage in building up cyber capabilities but also actively engage in appealing for cooperation to its allies. By conducting a comparative study on Cybersecurity Act of 2015 in the US and Cybersecurity Law of the PRC in 2016, the thesis aims to demonstrate how G2 implement legal regulation to safeguard domestic information infrastructure amidst the rising cyber threats posed by both state and non-state actors. In doing so, the thesis will research how respective country exerts its national interests in cyberspace while cooperate with other countries to defend global security. The thesis will add a new dimension on current cybersecurity studies by filling the gaps in previous literature. The thesis will contribute in understanding Sino-US relation regarding hegemonic competition in cyberspace and further propose the prospects of nations in the cyber era.μ§€λ‚œ μ‹­ λ…„μ˜ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„ν™˜κ²½μ€ μ •μΉ˜μ  λͺ©μ μ„ 이루기 μœ„ν•œ μˆ˜λ‹¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨ κ΅­κ°€ μ£Όλ„μ˜ 사이버곡격이 μ£Όλ₯Ό 이룬닀. ν•œλ•Œ 기회주의적 범죄집단에 κ΅­ν•œλœ 사이버곡격은 이제 ν•œ κ΅­κ°€μ˜ μ •μΉ˜μ  λͺ©μ  달성, 사이버 κ³΅κ°„μ—μ„œμ˜ μ •μΉ˜μ  μ„ μ „μ˜ μ€‘μš”ν•œ μˆ˜λ‹¨μœΌλ‘œ μ΄μš©λœλ‹€. 이에 따라 사이버곡간은 κ·Έ κ·€μΆ”κ°€ μ£Όλͺ©λ˜λŠ” μ‹ (ζ–°)μ•ˆλ³΄μ˜μ—­μœΌλ‘œ κΈ‰λΆ€μƒν•˜κ³  μžˆλ‹€. 전톡적 μ•ˆλ³΄ μ˜μ—­κ³Ό λΉ„κ΅ν–ˆμ„ λ•Œ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„κ³΅κ°„μ˜ λ…νŠΉν•œ νŠΉμ„±μœΌλ‘œ 말미암아 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄ ν™˜κ²½μ„ κ°€λŠ ν•˜λŠ” 것은 훨씬 λ³΅μž‘ν•˜λ‹€. κ°œλ°©μ„±κ³Ό μ΄ˆμ—°κ²°μ„±μœΌλ‘œ νŠΉμ§•λ˜λŠ” λ¬΄μ •ν˜•μ˜ 사이버 κ³΅κ°„μ—μ„œ μ—­μ„€μ μ΄κ²Œλ„ κ΅­κ°€λŠ” λ”μš± κ΅­κ°€μ£Όμ˜μ μΈ κ²½ν–₯을 보인닀. μ•ˆμ „ν•œ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄ ν™˜κ²½ μˆ˜λ¦½μ„ μœ„ν•΄ κΈ€λ‘œλ²Œκ±°λ²„λ„ŒμŠ€ κ΅¬μΆ•μ˜ ν•„μš”μ„±μ— 더해 각 ꡭ가듀이 κ³΅λ™μ˜ μ΄λ‹ˆμ…”ν‹°λΈŒλ₯Ό μœ„ν•΄ ν˜‘λ ₯함에도 λΆˆκ΅¬ν•˜κ³  더 μš°μ„ μ‹œλ˜λŠ” μ£ΌκΆŒκ΅­κ°€μ˜ 이읡은 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„κ³΅κ°„μ΄λΌλŠ” μ‹ (ζ–°)μ•ˆλ³΄ μ˜μ—­μ—μ„œμ˜ κ°ˆλ“±μ„ μ΄ˆλž˜ν•  것이닀. μ΄λŠ” ꢁ극적으둜 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄ μ „λ§μ˜ ꡬ쑰적 λ³€ν™”λ₯Ό λΆ€μΆ”κΈ΄λ‹€. 사이버곡간 ν•˜μ— ν•œ κ΅­κ°€μ˜ μ •μΉ˜μ  ν–‰μœ„κ°€ κ²°κ΅­ νŠΉμˆ˜ν•œ λͺ©μ μ— λ‹¬λ €μžˆμŒμ— 기인해 이 μ‹ (ζ–°)μ•ˆλ³΄ μ˜μ—­μ˜ 이해에 μ•žμ„œ 지정학적 μ΄μ΅κ΄€κ³„μ˜ 이해가 μš”κ΅¬λœλ‹€. 사이버 μ—­λŸ‰μ„ ν•œ κ΅­κ°€μ˜ μ •μΉ˜μ  λͺ©μ  λ‹¬μ„±μ˜ μˆ˜λ‹¨μœΌλ‘œ μ΄μš©ν•˜λ €λŠ” μ§€λ‚œ μ‹­ λ…„μ˜ κ²½ν–₯은 전톡적 μ•ˆλ³΄μ˜μ—­ μ°¨μ›μ—μ„œ λ°œμƒν•˜λ˜ 일이 사이버곡간에 λ˜ν•œ λ°œμƒν•  수 μžˆμŒμ„ μ‹œμ‚¬ν•œλ‹€. λ³Έ 논문은 λ―Έκ΅­κ³Ό 쀑ꡭ이 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄ κ΄€λ ¨ μ–΄λ– ν•œ μ •λΆ€μ°¨μ›μ˜ 쑰치λ₯Ό μ·¨ν•˜λŠ” 지 연ꡬ함에 λͺ©μ μ„ λ‘”λ‹€. 양ꡭ은 사이버 μ—­λŸ‰ λ°œμ „μ— ꡭ가적 투자λ₯Ό 아끼지 μ•Šμ„ 뿐 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ λ™λ§Ήκ΅­λ“€μ—κ²Œλ„ ν˜‘λ ₯을 μ΄‰κ΅¬ν•˜λ©° μ‚¬μ΄λ²„κ³΅κ°„μ΄λΌλŠ” μ‹ (ζ–°)μ•ˆλ³΄μ˜μ—­μ— κ°€μž₯ 적극성을 λ λŠ” ꡭ가이닀. 미ꡭ의 2015λ…„ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄λ²•κ³Ό μ€‘κ΅­μ˜ 2016λ…„ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„λ³΄μ•ˆλ²•μ„ 비ꡐ 연ꡬ해 λ³Έ 논문은 양ꡭ이 κ΅­λ‚΄μ˜ 정보 인프라 보호λ₯Ό μœ„ν•΄ μ–΄λ– ν•œ 법적 규제λ₯Ό λ§ˆλ ¨ν–ˆλŠ”μ§€ μ‚΄νŽ΄λ³΄κ³ μž ν•œλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ 각ꡭ이 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„κ³΅κ°„μ—μ„œ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ ꡭ읡을 ν–‰μ‚¬ν•˜λ©° λ™μ‹œμ— 범지ꡬ적 μ°¨μ›μ˜ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄λ₯Ό μœ„ν•΄ μ–΄λ– ν•œ ν˜‘λ ₯ λ§€μ»€λ‹ˆμ¦˜μ„ μΆ”κ΅¬ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ μ—°κ΅¬ν•œλ‹€. λ³Έ 논문은 μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄λ₯Ό λ―Έβˆ™μ€‘ κ²½μŸκ΅¬λ„μ˜ κ΄€μ μ—μ„œ μž¬ν•΄μ„ν•˜λ©° 더 λ‚˜μ•„κ°€ κ±°μ‹œμ μœΌλ‘œ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄λ₯Ό μ „λ§ν•œλ‹€λŠ” μ μ—μ„œ ν˜„μž¬μ˜ μ‚¬μ΄λ²„μ•ˆλ³΄ 연ꡬ에 κΈ°μ—¬ν•œλ‹€.I.

    DoctorInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifaceted immune disorder caused by dysregulated immune responses against gut microbiota and associated with the surge of commensal microbial species with pathogenic potential, thus termed as pathobiont species. However, how immune homeostasis to pathobiont species can be established under steady state condition and how these pathobiont species provoke colonic inflammation remain elusive. In this study, I aim to identify the pathobiont species involved in the pathogenesis of different experimental colitis and determine their behaviors during the onset of colitis. I also investigate the underlying mechanisms that permit the expansion of pathobiont species during the onset of T cell-induced colitis. I revealed that delayed contact of gut microbiota, i.e. microbial colonization of adult germ-free (GF) mice (conventionalized GF mice), could induce pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 responses that were associated with the overgrowth of pathobiont Helicobacter species. The induction of colitogenic responses against Helicobacter species were tightly regulated in pre-weaned GF mice, indicating that the weaning period is critical time window for establishing immune tolerance to these pathobiont species. The overwhelming expansion of Helicobacter species in conventionalized GF mice was dependent on its capacity to use fumarate as a terminal electron acceptor during anaerobic respiration. Hence, while the precision editing of gut microbiota specifically targeting nitrate-dependent anaerobic respiration effectively suppressed dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, this strategy was not applicable to T cell-induced colitis. Alternatively, fumarate reductase inhibitors could ameliorate colitogenic T cell responses by inhibiting the surge of pathobiont species. Therefore, fumarate reductase inhibitors can be a promising therapeutics for treating IBD. These data emphasize that microbiota-targeted therapeutics should be applied based on the characteristics of IBD and the types of pathobiont species that can vary among IBD patients.염증성 μž₯μ§ˆν™˜μ€ μž₯λ‚΄ 곡생 μ„Έκ·  및 μœ ν•΄ 곡생 μ„Έκ· μ˜ 증가에 μ˜ν•΄ μœ λ„λ˜μ–΄μ§€λŠ” 비정상적인 λ©΄μ—­λ°˜μ‘μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ§ˆν™˜μ΄λ‹€. μ •μƒμƒνƒœμ—μ„œλŠ” μœ ν•΄ 곡생 세균에 λŒ€ν•œ λ©΄μ—­ 항상성이 μœ μ§€λ˜μ§€λ§Œ, μž₯λ‚΄ 염증이 μœ λ„λœ μƒνƒœμ—μ„œ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ μœ ν•΄ 곡생 세균이 λ©΄μ—­ λ°˜μ‘μ„ ν™œμ„±ν™”μ‹œν‚€λŠ”κ°€μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ—°κ΅¬λŠ” 아직 λͺ…ν™•νžˆ λ°ν˜€μ§€μ§€ μ•Šμ•˜λ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ, λ³Έ μ—°κ΅¬μ—μ„œλŠ” λ‹€μ–‘ν•œ 염증성 μž₯μ§ˆν™˜ λͺ¨λΈκ³Ό κ΄€λ ¨λœ 병원균을 ν™•μΈν•˜κ³  T 세포λ₯Ό 맀개둜 ν•œ 염증성 μž₯μ§ˆν™˜ μ΄ˆκΈ°μ— λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚˜λŠ” 병원균 증식에 κ΄€λ ¨λœ μž‘μš©κΈ°μ „μ„ μ—°κ΅¬ν•˜κ³ μž ν•œλ‹€. λ‹€μžλž€ 무균 μ₯μ— μž₯λ‚΄ λ°•ν…Œλ¦¬μ•„λ₯Ό μ£Όμž…ν•˜κ²Œ 되면 (conventionalized 무균 μ₯) 염증성 Th1κ³Ό Th17 μ„Έν¬μ˜ λ©΄μ—­λ°˜μ‘μ΄ μœ λ„λ˜λŠ”λ° 이와 같은 ν˜„μƒμ΄ 병원균인 ν—¬λ¦¬μ½”λ°•ν„°κ· μ˜ 증식과 연관이 μžˆμŒμ„ λ°ν˜€λƒˆλ‹€. 헬리코박터균에 λŒ€ν•œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 염증 λ°˜μ‘μ΄ 이유 μ‹œν‚€κΈ° μ „μ˜ μ–΄λ¦° λ§ˆμš°μŠ€μ—μ„œλŠ” μ—„κ²©ν•˜κ²Œ μ œν•œλ¨μ„ ν™•μΈν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨ 이유 μ‹œκΈ°κ°€ 병원균에 λŒ€ν•œ λ©΄μ—­λ°˜μ‘μ˜ 내성에 μžˆμ–΄ μ€‘μš”ν•œ μ‹œκΈ°μž„μ„ 확인할 수 μžˆμ—ˆλ‹€.

    DoctorBioconjugation technology using synthetic and natural polymers like poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and hyaluronic acid (HA) has been widely exploited for the development of long-acting biopharmaceuticals. The chemical attachment of polymers with the biopharmaceuticals, such as protein and peptide drugs, has been reported to increase the drug efficacy by reducing renal clearance, decreasing the immuno-response and alleviating the enzymatic degradation in the body. Recently, HA has been widely investigated as a novel drug carrier of various chemical and biopharmaceutical therapeutics. As a natural linear polysaccharide in the body, HA has several advantageous properties for biomedical applications, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, and non-toxicity. HA has been regarded as one of the best biomaterials in terms of safety issues. However, the short half life of HA should be overcome for long-term clinical applications. One of the main objectives in this study was to develop how to control the molecular degradation of HA derivatives for drug delivery applications. In Chapter 1, the characteristics of HA was introduced focusing on the biological functions and unique physico-chemical properties. In addition, the chemical modification of HA and the application of HA derivatives to drug delivery were described. In Chapter 2, a novel protocol to control the molecular degradation of HA was successfully developed for drug delivery applications. HA has a different conformational structure in water and in organic solvent. The carboxyl group of HA is known to be the recognition site of hyaluronidase and HA receptors. Based on these findings, HA was chemically modified by grafting adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) to the carboxyl group of HA in the water to prepare HA-ADH_WATER and in the mixed solvent of water and ethanol to prepare degradation controlled HA-ADH_WATER/ETHANOL. To compare the degradation rate of the samples, three kinds of HA hydrogels were prepared by the crosslinking of HA-ADH_WATER or HA-ADH_WATER/ETHANOL with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3), and by the crosslinking of HA-OH with divinyl sulfone (DVS). In vitro and in vivo degradation tests showed that HA-DVS hydrogels were degraded the most rapidly, followed by HA-ADH_WATER hydrogels and HA-ADH_WATER/ETHANOL hydrogels. There was no adverse effect during and after the in vivo degradation tests. All of the HA hydrogel samples appeared to be biocompatible according to the histological analysis with hematoxylin-eosin and alcian blue staining. Based on these results, long acting HA - biopharmaceutical conjugates were developed after chemical modification of carboxyl groups of HA in the following studies. In Chapter 3, a new protocol for the synthesis of HA - peptide (CWRYMVm) conjugate for FPRL1 receptor was successfully developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as sepsis. Aminoethyl methacrylated HA (HA-AEMA) was synthesized by the coupling reaction of tetrabutyl ammonium salt of HA (HA-TBA) and AEMA using benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris(dimethyl-amino)phosphonium hexafluoro-phosphate (BOP) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Then, HA-AEMA was conjugated with CWRYMVm in water via Michael addition reaction between methacryloyl group of HA-AEMA and thiol group of cysteine in CWRYMVm. The formation of HA-peptide conjugate was confirmed by 1H-NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The average number of conjugated peptide molecules could be controlled from 5 to 23 per single HA chain. The HA-peptide conjugate showed serum stability longer than four days. In vitro signal transduction activity of HA-peptide conjugate for FPRL1 receptor was confirmed from the elevated levels of phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) and calcium ion in FPRL1 over-expressing RBL-2H3 cells. The partially decreased biological activity of HA-peptide conjugates by the steric hindrance of HA was recovered after its degradation by hyaluronidase treatment. In vivo tests of HA-peptide conjugate in murine model of sepsis confirmed the increased therapeutic effect after conjugation to HA. In Chapter 4, a novel protocol to synthesize anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate was successfully developed for the treatment of ocular neovascularization. Using HA-TBA, water-insoluble anti-Flt1 peptide could be conjugated with HA in DMSO by the amide bond formation between carboxyl groups of HA and N-terminal amine groups of GGNQWFI. The formation of anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate was confirmed by 1H-NMR and fluorometric analyses. The average number of grafted peptide molecules in anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugates could be controlled from 3 to 30 per single HA chain by changing the feeding amount of peptide for the conjugation reaction. The resulting HA - GGNQWFI conjugate self-assembled to form micelles in aqueous solution, as confirmed and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). According to in vitro biological activity tests, HA - GGNQWFI conjugate exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition effect on the binding of Flt1-Fc to VEGF165 coated on the well. Furthermore, in vivo biological activity of anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate was confirmed from the inhibitory effect on corneal neovascularization in SD rats. VEGF receptor 2 expression in silver nitrate cauterized cornea was also reduced after treatment with anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate. In addition, anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate effectively inhibited retinal choroidal neovascuarization (CNV) in laser induced CNV model rats. In the diabetic retinopathy model rats, the retinal vascular permeability and the deformation of retinal vascular structure were significantly reduced after treatment with anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugates. Pharmacokinetic analysis confirmed the increased mean residence time of anti-Flt1 peptide after conjugation to HA longer than 2 weeks. In addition, anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate also showed therapeutic effect on asthma reducing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and lung inflammation evaluated by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cellularity. Moreover, anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate having a micelle structure in aqueous solution was developed as a novel drug carrier of various hydrophobic drugs such as genistein, dexamethasone, and doxorubicin. The hydrophobic drug - loaded micelles had a spherical shape with a diameter in the range of 100 ~ 300 nm, as characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and TEM analyses. Anti-Flt1 peptide - HA conjugate capable of encapsulating hydrophobic drugs would be successfully exploited as a novel drug carrier for an anti-angiogenic cocktail therapy
