  • The specimens used in this study were obtained from patients with primary gastric carcinoma and adjacent non-malignant mucosa from the same patients. Using the techniques of immunocyto chemicstry and in situ hybridization, transforming growth $factor-{\alpha}(TGF-{\alpha})$ and epiderimal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) nRNAs were identified. $TGF-{\alpha}$ was observed in macrophages and dividing tumor cells but, not in normal cells. EGF-R was observed both in malignant and non-malignant gastric tissues. Although normally, $TGF-{\alpha}$ is not seen in normal gastric tissues, $TGF-{\alpha}$ was discovered in the adjacent non-malignant tissue of histolgically normal, which strongly suggest that $TGF-{\alpha}$ is involved in the differentiation of cancer cells. Immunocytochemicstry using EMB-11 antibody identified the existence of macrophages which express $TGF-{\alpha}$ and EGF-R mRNA. Protein products of EGF-R was identfified using monoclonal antibody. Cancer cells were also identified in the non-malignant normal tissues by the method of immunocytochemicstry using carcino embryonic antigen (CEA)antibody. It is considered that the activity of $TGF-{\alpha}$ increased as tumor cell prolifierates. Immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques can be used to diagnose gastric cancer along with the use of ${\alpha}-feto$ protein and CEA.

  • Fruits and vegetable extracts are well-known as healthy foods. Such foods have been used as herbal medicines or traditional therapies for centuries. To assess biological activities in grapes, we examined the immunomodulating activities of water extracts from four kinds of grapes (cultivars Kyoho, Delaware, Campbell, and Niagara). We explored possible antioxidant and anticancer activities using antioxidant assays such as the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reduction assay, the ferric iron reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assay, a cell proliferation assay, an NO inhibition assay, a wound healing assay, and an IL-4/IL-13 elicitation assay. Methanol extracts of grapes were tested. The results showed that each grape extract had potent antioxidant activities. The grape extracts increased cell proliferation and NO production activities in tumor cell lines. IL-4 and IL-13 cytokine levels were decreased in mouse primary spleen cells by treatment with any extract. These results suggest that grape extracts can be used as biomaterials with immunomodulating activities.

  • To develop Salicornia herbacea as a functional food material, crude polysaccharides and saponins were isolated from 80% ethanolic extracts of Salicornia herbacea using Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, and biological activities including anti-oxidation, anti-proliferation of cancer cells, and immune activities were investigated. The hydrogen-donating properties of crude polysaccharides and saponins were above 20% at $500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. The reducing power of fractions increased in a dose-dependent manner. Crude polysaccharides and saponins at $500{\mu}g/mL$ inhibited more than 20% and 50% of proliferation by PC-3 and HT-29 human cancer cells, respectively. The anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties of crude saponins were higher than those of crude polysaccharides. Also, proliferation in spleen cells and (nitric oxide) NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages treated with crude polysaccharides increased in a dose-dependent manner compared with the untreated control cells. However, crude saponins at concentration greater than $500{\mu}g/mL$ resulted in decreases in immune activities. Immune activities of crude polysaccharide were greater than those of crude saponins. These results indicate that Salicornia herbacea may be used as functional food materials.

  • One year has passed since the pandemic of COVID-19, which occurred in Wuhan, China, in November 2019 began. Worldwide, as of January 2021, more than 95 million people have been infected, and the death toll is higher than 2 million. In Korea, there are 74,262 infected and 1,328 dead, and government policies such as social distancing to prevent infection are being implemented. Accordingly, many inconveniences occurred in the physical activity environment, such as the closure of various sports facilities. It was necessary to consider physical activities to maintain healthy life while cooperating with the national policy while preventing infection. This study investigated the benefits of physical activity to reduce the risk of trichomoniasis and diabetes, improve bone mineral density, prolong healthy lifespan, maintain activity performance with aging, and improve psychological anxiety and depression. In addition, the physiological changes that may occur in the situation of stopping exercise due to social distancing to prevent COVID-19 infection were reviewed. In addition, moderate-intensity exercise that helps strengthen immune function by activating natural killer cells, neutrophils, and antibody responses was investigated. In addition, it reduces the level and function of blood B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells for several hours, decreases phagocytosis of neutrophils in the nasal cavity, increases inflammatory cytokines, decreases immune function, and increases infection. High-intensity exercise was considered. Therefore, in the age of COVID-19, long-term high-intensity exercise such as marathon, which causes impaired immune function, should be refrained from. And you should do moderate-intensity regular aerobic exercise such as fast walking to help prevent infection. It is also recommended to participate in resistance exercises to prevent loss of muscle mass.

  • Due to the highly contagious nature and severity of the respiratory diseases caused by COVID-19, economical and accurate tests are required to better monitor and prevent the spread of this contagion. As the structural and molecular properties of SARS-CoV-2 were being revealed during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, many manufacturers of COVID-19 diagnostic kits actively invested in the design, development, validation, verification, and implementation of diagnostic tests. Currently, diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 are the most widely used and validated techniques for rapid antigen, and immuno-serological assays for specific IgG and IgM antibody tests and molecular diagnostic tests. Molecular diagnostic assays are the gold standard for direct detection of viral RNA in individuals suspected to be infected with SARS-CoV-2. Antibody-based serological tests are indirect tests applied to determine COVID-19 prevalence in the community and identify individuals who have obtained immunity. In the future, it is necessary to explore technical problems encountered in the early stages of global or regional outbreaks of pandemics and provide future directions for better diagnostic tests. This article evaluates the commercially available and FDA-approved molecular and immunological diagnostic assays and analyzes their performance characteristics.

  • In this study, the breads with medicinal herbs (MH) composites showing immunostimulating activity were prepared and their characteristics were examined. Fourteen kinds of medicinal herbs were extracted with hot water and divided into 3 groups (MH-1, MH-2, MH-3) based on their contents. All groups showed immunostimulating activity in terms of macrophage phagocytosis, nitrite production, cytostatic activity and cytokine production. In the preparation of breads containing MH extracts of various contents (0, 30, 50, 70, and 100%), there was no significant difference among dough pHs of all groups after first fermentation, but loaf volume was significantly (p<0.05) increased in 70% added group while decreased in 30%, 50%, and 100% added groups compared to the control. The "a" and "b" values of bread crumb increased with the content of MH extracts while "L" value decreased, but these values of bread crust were similar to the control group. Most improvements in hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of bread were noticed by the addition of 70% MH extracts, but those of springiness, cohesiveness and resilience were mostly by the 50% addition ones. Through the sensory evaluation, it was revealed that mouth feeling, taste and overall preference decreased at breads containing 70% and 100% extracts, although appearance and crumb texture were not significantly (p<0.05) different among all groups.

  • Two groups of entomopathogenic bacteria, Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, are known to suppress insect immune responses by inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis. This study used these bacterial culture broths to develop novel biochemical insecticides against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. Though the bacterial culture broths alone showed little insecticidal activity, they significantly enhanced pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis against the fourth instar larvae of P. xylostella. Sterilization of the bacterial culture broth by autoclaving or $0.2\;{\mu}m$ membrane filtering did not influence the synergistic effect on the pathogenicity of B. thuringiensis. Three metablites identified in the culture broth of X. nematophila also showed similar synergistic effects. In field test, both entomopathogenic bacterial culture broth also enhanced the control efficacy of B. thuringiensis against P. xylostella.

  • 식품으로 인한 질병은 개인의 생명을 위협할 뿐 아니라 건전한 노동력의 상실로 생산성을 감소시키고 의료비를 증가시켜 개인의 행복 및 국가 경제에 부담을 준다 (Buzby et al. 1996, Mead et at. 2000). HACCP와 여러 식품안전에 관한 규제의 시행 등의 많은 노력에도 불구하고 Salmonella serotypes, Staphylococcus aureus, Camplobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, enterotoxigenic and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus와 같은 식품기원 병원성 세균으로 인한 질병은 줄어들고 있지 않다. 오히려 외식 위주로 변해가는 생활습관은 식품을 통한 이들 병원성 세균의 전파가능성을 증가시키고 있다. 게다가 새로운 병원성균 (Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli 0157:H7, Aeromonas spp., Plesiomonas spp.) 의 출현 또는 특정 식품과 연관되어 나타나는 특정 subtype (Salmonella serotype Enteritidis) 의 출현은 이제까지 통용되어왔던 식품기원 세균을 위한 제어프로그램과는 다른 각도로 재원을 활용해야 할 동기를 부여하고 있다.
