An experiment was performed to obtain cryopreservation techniques of starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) sperm. Milt obtained from 24 males were cryopreserved using two diluents, artificial seminal plasma (ASP) and Stein's solution (SS) with three cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, and glycerol concentrated from 5% to 20%. Post-thaw sperm activity (motility and/or speed) revealed the highest in 10% DMSO and 15% methanol in ASP and SS as diluent. Motility and speed of cryopreserved sperm were decreased according to increase of glycerol concentration. To conclude, DMSO was a better cryoprotectant than methanol or glycerol for cryopreservation of starry flounder sperm. Glycerol was incongruent cryoprotectant because of toxic to starry flounder sperm. Most cryopreserved spermatozoa without cryoprotectant showed the enlarged head with granulated chromatin and ruptured plasma membrane by freezing and thawing injuries compared with unfrozen normal spermatozoa.

Paraquat(1.1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion, PQ)는 전세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 농약으로 자살 또는 실수로 마시는 경우 예외없이 폐독성으로 사망하게 된다. 하지만 아직까지 임상에 사용되어지고 있는 효과적인 독성 경감제는 전무한 실정이다. 현재까지 밝혀진 paraquat의 주된 독성기전은 NADPH Cytochrome P$_{450}$ reductase에 의해 산화,환원 반응을 거치는 동안 free radical을 생성하여 세포막에 지질과산화를 일으켜서 세포막의 기능상실과 cell death를 일으킨다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항산화작용이 뛰어난 아미노산인 taurine(TA)의 radical scarvenging 효과에 의한 PQ 독성경감효과를 in vivo에서 검색하였고, in vitro에서 TA의 PQ 독성경감 mechanism을 밝히고자 하였다. in vivo에서 PQ의 간독성(s-GOT,s-GPT), 신장독성(BUN, Creatinine), 폐 및 전신독성(ALP, MDA, G-6-phosphatase)의 정도를 혈액 및 조직균질액 중에서 검색함으로써 TA의 독성억제효과를 측정하였다.

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Many studies show that most cases of human colorectal cancer arise from adenomatous polyps, which are usually dysplastic, nonmalignant precursor lesions; however, accumulation of multiple somatic mutations leads some to develop into advanced adenoma, which ultimately progresses to an invasive colorectal cancer. Notwithstanding the efforts made to improve chemotherapy, most colorectal cancers are unresponsive to this form of treatment, and malignant colorectal cancers remain incurable. To reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer mortality, further studies to improve colorectal cancer treatment are needed. Here, we show that Globefish homogenate suppresses the growth of Caco-2 human colorectal cancer cells, and that the homogenate inhibits Caco-2 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. These data suggest that Globefish homogenate may suppress colorectal cancer development.

본 연구는 중금속에 의한 생체내 독성기전을 연구하고자 흰쥐간의 상층액에서 카드뮴과 잘 결합하는 HMWP들을 분리, 정재하고 나아가 생화학적 특성을 밝히고 이단백질이 카드뮴에 의해 생성되는 것인지 아니면 간의 기존 단백질인지를 밝히고자 함을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. CdCl %2 (3mg/kg body wt.)을 3일간 ip injection시킨 후 흰쥐의 간을 적출하고 균질화하여 원심분리한 crude extract를 직접 Sephacryl S-100에 흡착시켜 10mM phosphate buffer(pH 7.0)으로 용출시켰다. 용출된 fraction tube를 UV spectrometer로 흡광도를 측정하고 atomic absorption spectrophotometer로 카드뮴량을 측정하여 카드뮴량이 높은 분획을 모아서 ion exchange column chromatography(DEAE-Sepharose)에 흡착시켜 염농도 구배로 chromatography를 실시하고, 음이온 교환수지에서 흡착되지 않고 용출된 분획을 ultrafiltration으로 농축시킨 후 S-Sepharose에 흡착시켜 염농도 구배로 chromatography를 실시한 결과 두 종류의 카드뮴 결합 단백질(Cd-BP)를 분리, 정제하였다.

Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation(PEO)를 적용하여 두께 $120{\mu}m$의 알루미늄 판에 $Al_2O_3$ 산화피막을 형성하였다. 전해액의 주성분 KOH 와 $Na_2SiO_3$에 $Na_3P_2O_7$, $H_3PO_4$의 첨가제를 넣어 산화피막을 분석하였다. 첨가제 $Na_3P_2O_7$ 을 넣었을 때 치밀한 구조를 갖는 산화피막이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 특히 KOH, $Na_2SiO_3$, $Na_3P_2O_7$의 비율이 5:5:2 일때 가장 치밀하고 균질한 구조를 갖는 산화피막이 형성되었다.

감자는 전세계적으로 섭취되는 주요 작물로서 우리나라에서는 감자의 생즙을 관절염 및 통증을 억제하는 민간요법으로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 감자 에탄을 추출물의 항산화 작용을 검토하였다. 감자 에탄올 추출물(0.05～5 mg/mL) 은 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical에 대하여 강한 free radical scavenger 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 감자 추출물(0.5 mg/mL)은 쥐간 균질액 에서 생성 된 TBARS의 양을 유의적으로 억제하였으며 (p<0.05) Fe/sup 2+//ascorbate induction system에서 감자 추출물(0.5～2 mg/mL)은 DNPH 반응으로 측정된 carbonyl 형성을 억제하였다. 항산화 활성과 마찬가지로 감자 추출물의 환원력은 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서 가장 높았고 이는 α-tocopherol의 경우와 비슷하였다. 이 결과는 감자 추출물이 항산화력을 통해 생체에서 작용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

Lentinula edodes liquid spawn growth under explosive aeration (supplying air with tiny bubbles) and soybean meal addition to liquid culture medium were investigated in terms of mycelial growth and residual free sugar content. The two treatments were effective for homogeneous culturing of mycelial spawn and for separating colonies during multiplication after an exponential growth period without limiting sustaining nitrogen nutrients. The mycelial growth and carbon dioxide concentration were greatest on the 13th day since the inoculation. At 12th day, however, free sugars were almost depleted in the upper part of the liquid medium. Total nitrogen content within precipitated mycelia was the highest at the 13th day. Chitin and sucrose contents in the mycelia were the highest at the 18th day, but ergosterol content became highest at 22 days. These results suggest that Lentinula edodes liquid spawn is ready in 18 days after inoculation.

Radioisotope tracer experiments on the distribution and the binding of radionuclides to proteins in bivalve were carried out in order to gain further information on biochemical behavior of radionuclides in marine bivalve, Gomphina melanaegis. The radioactivities (cpm/g) of $^{65}Zn\;and\;^{54}Mn$ after 7 days exposure were highly concentrated in liver and kidney in comparison to soft parts. The gel filtration profile of $^{65}Zn$ in liver and kidney showed three elution peaks, while $^{54}Mn$ showed two peaks in liver and three peaks in kidney. On the gel filtration of $^{137}Cs$ in liver and kidney, most of $^{137}Cs$ were eluted on one peak. Thus, it was considered that each radionuclide was bound to different proteins in liver and kidney of bivalve.

Dioxin CRM for QA/QC was prepared with fly ash collected from municipal waste incinerator. With that CRM inter-laboratory test was carried out. The collected fly ash was conducted several homogeneity steps including sievings and mixing. Homogeneity test and estimation of uncertainty was performed by one-way ANOVA based on ISO guide 35. Compared concentrations of fly ash of participants to CRM values, PCDDs value was lower than that of CRM in almost participants, and showed higher PCDFs concentration than that of CRM. Although there is a small difference in PCDD/Fs concentrations with congeners of extract, the result was close to mean value.

The optimum conditions for the extraction of lecithin from egg yolk were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). On the basis of the results of preliminary experiments, the most effective values were selected. The effects of three independent variables, dilution ratio, solvent composition, and extraction temperature on the response of crude egg lecithin (g) were then determined. The optimum conditions for egg lecithin separation obtained using ridge analysis were 6.51, 95.83%, and $40.2^{\circ}C$ for the dilution ratio, solvent composition, and extraction temperature, respectively. Using the optimum conditions, 55.04% of crude lecithin in total phospholipid can be obtained from 100 g liquid egg yolk. The experimental values (56.21% crude lecithin in total phospholipid) agreed with the predicted values.
