${\alpha}-galactosidase$는 raffinose와 stachyose 등의 ${\alpha}-galactoside$ 결합을 분해하는 효소이다. Raffinose와 stachyose는 특히 두류에 다량 존재하는데 이들 당은 섭취후 복부팽만감의 원인 물질로 발표되었는가 하면 한편으로는 비피더스균 증식인자로 최근에 보고된 바 있기 때문에 이들 당의 인체 건강에 대한 재평가가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 기초 자료로 사용하기 위하여 한국인으로부터 분리된 Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57이 생산하는 ${\alpha}-galactosidase$의 효소 특성을 조사하였다. Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57은 여러 종류의 다른 장내 세균에 비하여 높은 ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ 활성을-보유하고 있고 raffinose에 의하여 효소 생산이 증진되었다. 세포의 음파 파쇄후 DEAE-celluose와 Sepharose 6B gell filtration을 거쳐 부분정제한 효소를 사용하여 PNP-${\alpha}-galactosidase$에 대한 작용을 분석한 결과 최적 pH는 7.0, 최적온도는 $40^{\circ}C$ 였고 금속이온을 5mM 농도로 처리하였을 때 효소활성을 $CoCl_{2}$는 33%, $CuCl_{2}$는 21% 저해하였다. 또한 얻어진 효소는 실제 기질로써 raffinose와 stachyose를 잘 분해하는 것으로 나타났다.

Papain, pepsin, $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ 및 protease을 이용하여 말쥐치육 단백질의 pepsin가수분해물로 부터 합성한 plastein과 유리 glutamic acid 및 leucine을 도입시킨 plastein의 일반성분, 아미노산조성, 분자량, 색조 및 IR spectrum을 측정하여 비교 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Plastein의 단백질함량은 $76.4\~79.0\%$였으나 protease plastein만이 $72.4\%$로 다소 낮았으며, 회분함량은 $7.4\~11.8\%$로 Glu-papain plastein과 Leu-papain plastein의 $3.9\%$ 및 $4.1\%$보다 높았고, 지방 함량은 $0.3\~0.9\%$ 범위였다. 수율은 papain plastein이 $55\%$로 가장 높았고, pepsin plastein, $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ 및 pretense plastein은 각각 $47.6\%,\;38.3\%,\;23.6\%$ 였으며, Glu-papain plastein과 Leu-papain plastein은 각각 $35.0\%,\;45.7\%$ 였다. Plastein 종류에 따른 아미노산조성에는 큰 차이는 없었으며, Glu-papain plastein과 Leu-papain plastein의 glutamic acid 및 leucine함량은 각각 $38.7\%,\;41.7\%$였으나 대조구인 papain plastein에서는 이들의 함량이 $14.0\%,\;10.1\%$에 불과하였다. Gel여과법에 의한 가수분해물의 분자량은 2,000 및 310인 것이 주종을 이루었으나 이외에도 분자량이 1,600 및 120인 획분도 존재하였다. Plastein의 분자량은 papain plastein이 21,000 및 4,900 였으며, pepsin plastein 24,000, $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ plastein 18, 500, protease plastein 6,700, Glu-papain plastein 24,000, Leu-papain plastein은 17,000 이었다. IR spectrum상에서는 동결건조육, FPC및 가수분해물간에 거의 차이가 없었다.. 그러나 plastein의 경우는 이들과 달리 $800\~850\;cm^{-1},\;700\~750\;cm^{-1} 및 $600\~700\;cm^{-1}$에서 강한 흡수띠가 나타났지만 protease plastein만이 흡수띠가 비교적 약하였다. Glu-papain plastein은 amide I의 흡수띠가 넓게 퍼진 반면에 $1,440cm^{-1}$에서 새로운 흡수띠가 나타났다. 그러나 Leu-papain plastein의 경우는 특징적인 흡수띠가 나타나지 않았다.

참취의 활용 및 생리활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 적정 추출방법을 알아보고자 상온교반, 환류냉각, 가압가열, 저온고압 및 초음파 추출법을 이용하여 추출한 두벌 째 수확 참취 추출물의 생리활성을 비교하였다. 추출 수율은 환류냉각추출, 초음파추출, 가압가열추출, 상온추출, 저온고압추출 순으로 높았다. 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 함량은 저온고압추출에서 유의적으로 높았고, 상압가열, 고온고압, 초음파추출에서는 대등한 함량을 나타내었다. 페놀화합물 정량의 경우 chlorogenic acid 함량은 가압가열추출에서 유의적으로 높았으며 cynarin 함량의 경우 환류냉각, 저온고압 및 초음파 추출에서 유의적으로 높았고, astragalin 함량의 경우 저온고압추출에서 높은 함량이 검출되었다. Xanthine oxidase(XO), angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE), HMG-CoA reductase 저해활성의 경우 저온고압추출 및 초음파 추출물에서 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며, 소화효소 저해활성(${\alpha}$-amylase, trypsin, lipase)에서도 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때 저온고압 및 초음파 추출물에서 소재 활용가치가 높을 것으로 사료되며 천연 항산화제 및 기능성 증진을 위한 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study we aimed to examine the co-doping effects of 1/6 mol% $Co_3O_4$ and 1/4 mol% $Cr_2O_3$ (Co:Cr = 1:1) on the reaction, microstructure, and electrical properties, such as the bulk defects and the grain boundary properties, of ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (ZBS; Sb/Bi = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) varistors. The sintering and electrical properties of Co,Cr-doped ZBS, ZBS(CoCr) varistors were controlled using the Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$), ${\alpha}$-spinel ($Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$), and ${\delta}-Bi_2O_3$ were formed in all systems. Pyrochlore was decomposed and promoted densification at lower temperature on heating in Sb/Bi = 1.0 by Cr rather than Co. A more homogeneous microstructure was obtained in all systems affected by ${\alpha}$-spinel. In ZBS(CoCr), the varistor characteristics were improved (non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}$ = 20~63), and seemed to form ${Zn_i}^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$(0.20 eV) and ${V_o}^{\cdot}$(0.33 eV) as dominant defects. From impedance and modulus spectroscopy, the grain boundaries were found to be composed of an electrically single barrier (0.94~1.1 eV) that is, however, somewhat sensitive to ambient oxygen with temperature. The phase development, densification, and microstructure were controlled by Cr rather than by Co but the electrical and grain boundary properties were controlled by Co rather than by Cr.

Objectives: In order to identify the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dan-Sam), widely used in Korean traditional medicine, an in vitro screening system was designed using pGL3, a luciferase reporter vector, and the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 as target genes. Methods: The promoter regions of each gene were generated by PCR using the human chromosome as template DNA, and inserted into pGL3 vector with Kpn I and Hind III. The final construct was transfected into human myelomonocytic leukemia cells (U-937) that could be differentiated and activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Using this system, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of several herbal extracts regarded to have the medicinal effects of diminishing body heat and complementing Qi were tested. The chemicals PD98059 and berberine chloride were used as controls of the transcriptional inhibitors of TNF-${\alpha}$ and COX-2, respectively. Results: Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dan-Sam) demonstrated significant decrease of TNF-${\alpha}$ and COX-2 mRNA in the in vitro assay system. In MTT assay, Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dan-Sam) did not significantly inhibit the survival and proliferation of human myelomonocytic leukemia cells (U-937). Conclusions: Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dan-Sam) was found to exhibit the significant medicinal properties of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

The recognition that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) possess potent anti-inflammatory properties in human models has prompted studies investigating their efficacy for animal growth and immunity. This study examined the effect of feeding an n-3 PUFA-enriched diet on growth and immune response of weanling piglets. Newly weaned pigs (averaging $27{\pm}2$ days of age and $8.1{\pm}0.7kg$ of body weight) were assigned randomly to receive a control (3% vegetable oil, n = 20) or n-3 PUFA-supplemented (3% marine n-3 PUFA, n = 20) diet for 28 day after weaning. Female pigs consuming the n-3 PUFA-enriched diet were lighter at week 4 post-weaning than those fed the vegetable oil supplement. Weanling pigs gained more weight, consumed more feed and had better growth to feed ratios between days 14 and 28 than between days 0 and 14 post-weaning. Plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) decreased between days 0 ($87.2{\pm}17.0ng/mL$) and 14 ($68.3{\pm}21.1ng/mL$) after weaning and then increased again by day 28 ($155.2{\pm}20.9ng/mL$). In piglets consuming the vegetable oil-enriched diet, plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) increased from $37.6{\pm}14.5$ to $102.9{\pm}16.6pg/mL$ between days 0 and 14 post-weaning and remained high through day 28 ($99.0{\pm}17.2pg/mL$). The TNF-${\alpha}$ increase detected in the piglets fed vegetable oil was not observed in the piglets fed n-3 PUFA. Results indicate that weaning induces considerable immune stress in piglets and that this stress can be mitigated by dietary supplementation of n-3 PUFA.

Mushrooms have been widely cultivated and consumed as foods and herbal medicines owing to their various biological properties. However, few studies have evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of mushrooms. Here, we investigated the effects of mushroom extracts (MEs) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophages (RAW264.7 cells). First, we extracted MEs with either water or ethanol. Using LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells, we measured cell proliferation and NO production. Gene expression of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), interleukin (IL)-6 (IL-6), and $IL-1{\beta}$ was assessed by RT-PCR, and protein abundance of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and phosphorylation of p65 were determined by immunoblotting. MEs prepared using both water and ethanol inhibited LPS-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 cells. Nitric oxide (NO) levels induced by LPS were reduced by treatment with MEs. Isaria japonica Yasuda water extracts and Umbilicaria esculenta (Miyoshi) Minks ethanol extracts significantly decreased the mRNA expression of inflammation-related cytokine genes including $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$. Similarly, the protein abundance of iNOS and COX-2 was also decreased. The phosphorylation of p65, a subunit of nuclear $factor-{\kappa}B$ was at least partly suppressed by MEs. This study suggests that mushrooms could be included in the diet to prevent and treat macrophage-related chronic immune diseases.

Many researchers have studied algae as a source of material having potential biological activities, not least because many marine algae extracts have strong antioxidant properties. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Pyropia yezoensis extract (PYE) on RAW 264.7 cells by measuring nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase activity, inducible NOS (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$), interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (1L-$1{\beta}$), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$). PYE decreased the production of intracellular ROS dose-dependently and increased SOD and catalase activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. PYE significantly suppressed the production of NO and reduced the expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-${\kappa}B$. PYE treatment also inhibited the production of IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$ significantly and reduced the phosphorylation of Akt and MAPK significantly in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. These results suggest that PYE has potential anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Vaccinium oldhamii (V. oldhamii) has been reported to exert a variety of the pharmacological properties such as anti-oxidant activity, anti-cancer activity, and inhibitory activity of ${\alpha}$-amylase and acetylcholinesterase. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of V. oldhamii has not been studied. In this study, we aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory activity of the stem extracts from V. oldhamii, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Among VOS, VOL and VOF, the inhibitory effect of NO and PGE2 production induced by LPS was highest in VOS treatment. Thus, VOS was selected for the further study. VOS dose-dependently blocked LPS-induced NO and PGE2 production by inhibiting iNOS and COX-2 expression, respectively. VOS inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$. In addition, VOS suppressed TRAP activity and attenuated the expression of the osteoclast-specific genes such as NFATc1, c-FOS, TRAP, MMP-9, cathepsin K, CA2, OSCAR and ATPv06d2. VOS inhibited LPS-induced $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling activation through blocking $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and p65 nuclear accumulation. VOS inhibited MAPK signaling activation by attenuating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK. Furthermore, VOS inhibited ATF2 phosphorylation and blocked ATF2 nuclear accumulation. From these findings, VOS has potential to be a candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for the inflammatory diseases.
