포유류 배아의 착상기작을 규명하고자 본 연구에서는 착상시기에 수정된 배아가 착상부위를 어떻게 인식하는 지 그리고 착상부위의 분화유발요인이 무엇인지를 조사하였다. 착상시기(임신 제6일)와 착상후 초기배아 발생기간(임신 제9일)중 혈청내 estradiol (E2)과 Progesterone(P4)의 농도를 측정하였으며, 자궁내막 조직을 착상부위 (antimesome trium)와 비 착상부위(mesometrium)로 분리하여 P4의 수용체 농도를 측정하였다. 혈청내 E2의 농도는 임신 제6일군에서 E2처리군에서 가장 높았으며, 임신 제9일에서는 intact 대조군에서 가장 높고 제9일의 모든 실험군의 농도는 임신 제6일군보다 높았다. 혈청내 P4 농도는 임신 제6일과 9일에서 다같이 대조군에서 가장 높으며 처리군 중에서는 P4처리군에서 높아지고 있다. P4 농도 역시 임신 제9일의 모든 실험군에서 제6일의 실험군보다 높았다. P4수용체 농도는 착상부위가 비 착상부위보다 높으며, 대조군(P < 0.01)과 P처리 군(P < 0.05)에서는 유의한 차이로 비 착상부위보다 높았다. 자궁내막조직 착상을 위한 분화에는 P4의 영향이 크며 P4의 혈청내 농도와 핵의 수용체 농도는 모든 실험군에서 상응하는 관계를 나타내었다. 이 결과는 앞서 일차적으로 발표한 알카리성 phosphatase (ALPase) 활성과도 상응하는 것이다.

The infectivity of an isolate of avian pneumovirus (APV) from turkeys to Balb/c mice was investigated to examine the transmission possibility to mammals. Three different age groups (3, 5 and 7 weeks old) were exposed by oculonasal route with a cell cultured APV of turkey origin. No clinical signs were observed from both APV-inoculated and commingled mice. However, all the tissue samples including blood from mice in the APV-inoculated group were positive for APV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) up to 6 days postinoculation. At 14 days postinoculation, APV was not detected from blood samples by PCR, but sera showed the presence of APV-specific antibodies. In commingled mice, APV was detected from lung and rectal swap samples by PCR. These results suggest that an APV isolate from turkey could be transmitted to mice by direct contact or other ways.

This experiment was carried out to study the preventive effect of cysteine on the toxicities of captafol to the hematological and serum biochemical values. A single dose of captafol(5mg/kg BW, ip) was given to male Sprague-Dawley rats and its toxicities were evalutated by body weitht changes, autopsy findings, absolute organ weight, and hematological and serum biochemical parameters. The single dose of captafol caused significant decreases in body weitht, and absolute liver weight, as-cites, fibrin clot in abdominal cavity, adhesion of liver lobes significant elevation of number of RBC, hemoglobin concentration and serum AST activity, and decreased of serum phospholipid level. Where as cysteine(over 58mg/kg BW) given immediately after captafol appeared to prevent the ascites, fibrin clot in abdominal cavity and liver lobe adhesion. It also prevented the liver and blood, especially RBC toxicites. The results suggest that cysteine and other compounds containing sulfhydryl groups may protect the subjects from captafol-induced toxicity.

The effects of soybean extracts on serum lipid contents were evaluated in rats. Ninety-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $100{\pm}10g$ were divided into fourteen groups and fed different fat diets for four weeks. The experimental groups were divided into; control, saturated fat diet, unsaturated fat diet and high fat diet respectively were fed 1% cholesterol group. The serum total lipid were higher in saturated fat diet group than in control group. The contents of total-cholesterol in serum of the saturated fat diet group was significantly higher than other groups. The contents of HDL-cholesterol in serum of the soybean extract group were higher than those other fat diet group. The contents of LDL-cholesterol in serum of the soybean extract group were lower than other fat diet groups. The soybean extract group of lipid was significantly lower in other groups.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Sophorae fructus extracts on antioxidative potential, free radical generation and the lipid levels in rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 2 groups of either AIN-76 diet (control group) or modified AIN-76 diet with 0.5% Sophorae fructus extracts for 4 weeks. The result were as follows: body weight gain and feed efficiency ratios were not significantly different in both groups. Antioxidative potentials were significantly increased in the group fed Sophorae fructus extracts compared to control group; however, there was no difference in free radical generation. Organ (heart, kidney, liver, spleen) weights in rats were not different in both groups. Total cholesterol level in Sophorae fructus group was significantly decreased compared to control group. Serum HDL-cholesterol level in Sophorae fructus group was significantly higher than control group. Serum phospholipid and triglyceride contents in Sophorae fructus group were no different from control group. These results suggest that supplementation of Sophorae fructus extracts may beneficially contribute to the effects of antioxidative potential and lipid levels in rats.

In order to investigate the effect of the combined dietary animal and vegetable proteins on growing female and male rats and mice. 25 female and 25 male rats of 4 weeks old weighing approximately 43-65g and 47-60g, respectively, were subjected to feeding trials for 4 weeks and then subsequently to metabolic trials for 10 days. In case of mice, 25 female and 25 male mice of 4 weeks old weighing approximately 12-17g and 12-16g, respectively, were equally treated. The dietary energy level was set as 3600 kcal ME/kg, and protein and fat provided respectively 12 and 5% of the dietary energy. The rest 83% of the energy level was supplied with appropriate amounts of starch and glucose. The following results were obtained. The body weight gain of female and male rats were increased as the combined dietary animal protein level increased. Whereas that of male mice was the highest for the diet E(Ap 10+Vp 90). Food efficiencies both of female and male rats were improved as combined dietary of animal protein increased. Male rats were superior to that of female. In the mice, the food efficiency value of male mice was superior to that of female. And the values of the male showed the same fashion as that in the growth rate, although it was not for the female. Protein efficiencies, both of female and male rats, were improved as combined dietary of animal protein level increased. That of male mice was in accord with the body weight gain and food efficiencies. But that of female mice was not accordant. Nitrogen retention of the experimental diets in the same protein level was in proportion to nitrogen intake. That of male mice was improved as animal protein level increased, but, that of female mice was not. Body protein utilizability was found to be superior in mice to rats. Blood serum protein level was not found to be affected by the experimental diets in the same protein level. The best combination ratio of animal and vegetable protein seems to be variable depending on the sex and species of animals, and the best diets for female and male rats and female and male mice were found to be experimental diet A(Ap 10+Vp 90) or diet B(Ap 75+Vp 25), diet C(Ap 50+Vp 50), and diet E(Ap 10+Vp 90), respectively. From the above-mentioned results that there was no difference in growth rate of body weight gain from the weanling period to puberty, and that the protein requirements of rats and mice were different from each other.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by chronic relapsing inflammation and is associated with hyper-production of immunoglobulin E (IgE). Recent studies have suggested that one of the treatments to alleviate symptoms of AD could be a supplementation of probiotics, Lactobacillus, Rhamnosus, Bifidus, etc. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of probiotics on immune parameters in NC/Nga mice treated with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitro-benzene (DNCB). To induce atopic dermatitis, DNCB was treated to the back of mice for 2 weeks. Then, NC/Nga mice were divided into the four experimental groups randomly. Probiotics fragment, probiotics with other complex (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12LbL, L. plantarum K8, L. plantarum K8 fragment, ${\gamma}$-linolenic acid), antihistamine, and distilled water were administrated orally to the NC/Nga mouse for 4 weeks of experimental period. The groups were probiotics fragment group (DPF), probiotics with other complex group (DPOC), antihistamine group (DAH) and distilled water group (DDW) as a control group. The levels of serum IgE, interlukin-4 (IL-4), interlukin-5 (IL-5), interferon-gamma (IFN-${\gamma}$) and spleenocyte IgE were measured. The levels of serum IgE were significantly different among the four experimental groups. Before the treatment, there was no differences among the groups. However, from the first through the third week of the treatments, the levels of serum IgE in the probiotics (DPF, DPOC) and antihistamine (DAH) groups were lower than those of control group (p < 0.05). The levels of serum IL-4 of DPOC group was significantly lower than that of control group (p < 0.05) and serum IL-5 levels of DPF, DPOC, and DAH groups were significantly lower than that of control group. The levels of serum IFN-${\gamma}$ were not different among the four experimental groups. The levels of serum IgE in supernatant of spleen lymphocytes were not significantly different among the groups. These results suggest that probiotics supplementation showed partial effectiveness in the DNCB treated NC/Nga mice via modulation of IgE level and IL-4, IL-5 production. Based on these findings, probiotics exhibited the inhibitory effect via IL-4 production thereby inhibited the production of IgE in atopic animal model NC/Nga mice.
