세포막지질의 산화는 심각한 세포막의 기능저하를 유발하고 심하면 세포를 죽음에 이르게하여 생물학적으로 중요한 지표이다. 세포막지질의 산화는 간접적인 화학적 방법으로 측정하거나, 지질을 추출해내어 질량분석기나 핵자기공명분광기 같은 물리적 방법으로 분석한다. 우리는 이온유도 이차전자 방출계수(${\gamma}$) 변화를 측정하여 세포막지질의 산화를 지질추출 없이 측정할 수 있는지 조사해 보았다. 세포막분리가 쉬운 적혈구를 모델세포로 사용하였고, 다양한 라디칼을 발생시키는 대기압 공기 DBD플라즈마 장치를 이용하였다. 적혈구를 플라즈마에 노출하는 시간으로 산화의 정도에 차이를 만들어 측정값과 비교하였다. ${\gamma}$값은 Auger의 중화이론에 바탕을 둔 이온유도 이차전자 방출빔(${\gamma}$-FIB)장비를 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정결과 적혈구가 산화됨에 따라서 ${\gamma}$값이 증가함을 볼 수 있었고, 동시에 workfunction값이 변화함을 보았으며, 그 결과를 화학적 방법과 비교해 보았다.

It was carried out for research and development of natural antimicrobial on Scutellariae Radix extract against food-borne infection bacteria .Scutellariae Radix extract showed remarkable antimicrobial activites against Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Vivro parahaemolyticus when examined by disk method, it was very stable on the wide rane of temperature and pH,.The growth rates of Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Vivro parahaemolyticus were decreased at the concentration of more than 500 ppm Scutellariae Radix extract, Indicating that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)of the Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Vivro parahaemolyticus to Scutellariae Radix extract were around 500 ppm . The morphological changes were observed by transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope and the microbial cells membran was destroyed by Scutellariae Radix extract. It was identified that the membrane integrity of the sensitive cells was disrupted by exposure to Scutellariae Radix extract as the $\beta$-galactosidase test on experimental substrate ONPG(o-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-galacto-pyranoside)

Cell counting is extensively used to analyze cell growth in biomedical research, and as a result automated cell counting methods have been developed to provide a more convenient and means to analyze cell growth. However, there are still many challenges to improving the accuracy of the cell counting for cells that proliferate abnormally, divide rapidly, and cluster easily, such as cancer cells. In this paper, we present an automated cell counting method for HeLa cells, which are used as reference for cancer research. We recognize and classify the morphological conditions of the cells by using a cell segmentation algorithm based on cell membrane extraction, and we then apply a cell back-tracking algorithm to improve the cell counting accuracy in cell clusters that have indistinct cell boundary lines. The experimental results indicate that our proposed segmentation method can identify each of the cells more accurately when compared to existing methods and, consequently, can improve the cell counting accuracy.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiological activityof the water extract from EA. The present study was done to investigate the effects of EA on cultured hepatocyte cell system and lipid peroxidation in $A{\beta}$ treatment conditions. Pretreatment of EA attenuated in cell cytotoxicity enhanced by increasing concentrations of $A{\beta}$. MDA level induced by $A{\beta}$ treatment was significantly increased and the level was slightly reduced by pretreatment of EA. The ability of EA to reduce cell death and MDA level induced by $A{\beta}$ suggest that EA may be a protective agent against free radical generating compounds such as $A{\beta}$. EA exhibited anti oxidative activity at all concentration tested.The extract was as good as antioxidative activity of the synthetic antioxidants, butylated hydroxy toluene and ascorbic acid. Furthermore, this was superior to that of natural antioxidant, a-tocopherol. In the presence of heavy metal ions ($Fe^{2+},{\;}Zn^{2+}$), EA showed strong antioxidative activity. The extracts showed about 3075% in the nitrite scavenging effect under pH 1.2 and $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. There was significant difference among concentration of extracts.

In this study, to investigate the anticariogenic effect of red ginseng, the antibacterial effect, cell adherence and biofilm formation inhibitory effect of n-hexane extract of red ginseng marc (HERGM) against Streptococcus mutans, the causative bacteria of caries, were measured. The growth of S. mutans was inhibited in proportion to the concentration of HERGM, and was hardly observed at a concentration above 125 ㎍/mL (MIC =125 ㎍/mL). It was found that HERGM acts on the cell membrane and the nucleic acid component of the cell was leaked. In addition, HERGM inhibited the adherence and biofilm formation of S. mutans by more than 90% at a concentration of 125 ㎍/mL. GTase activity was completely inhibited at a concentration of 50 ㎍/mL of HERGM. In conclusion, it was found that HERGM commonly inhibited the growth and biofilm formation of S. mutans.

생쥐 신장의 근위세뇨관과 원위세뇨관 세포의 미세구조에 미치는 염화 메틸수은의 독성에 대한 홍삼유출물의 첨독성적 영향을 전자현징경적으로 연구하였다. 염화 메틸수은 처리군의 근위세뇨관 세포에서는 대조군에서 보다 철세 융모가 다소 축소되고 불규칙한 배열을 하였다. Brush border의 인접 부위에서는 작은 경계들이 나타나고 세포질 중앙 부위에서는 치밀체를 함유한 큰 육포들이 관색되었다. Mitochondria는 상당히 팽대되고 기양막은 부분적으로 비후되었으며 다수의 ITsosome이 나타났다. 염화 메틸수은 처리군의 원위세뇨관 세롱에서는 불규칙한 세포 표면, 양사된 세포, 그리고 다수의 ribosome과 소수의 지방사이 나타났으며 mitochondria 는 팽대되고 기고막은 부분적으로 비후되었다. 염화 메틸수은-홍삼추출물 병행 처리군의 근위세뇨관 세포에서는 염화 메틸수은 처리군에서 보다 mitochondria의 팽대 정도가 감소되었으며 육포의 크기와 수도 상당히 감소되었다. 염화 메틸수은-홍모적출물 병행 처리군의 원위세뇨관 세롱에서는 세포 표면이 어느정도 규칙적이고 mitochondria의 정해와 기저막의 비후 정도가 감소되어 정상 세포와 거의 유사하였다.

Trafficking process of viral glycoprotein to cell surface results in the syncytium formation when baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells was infected by Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Rhus chinensis gall, well-known as a medicinal plant, inhibited not only syncytium formation, but also trafficking of glycoprotein, hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN) to the cell-surface. Modification of viral glycoprotein is processed within the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi body during trafficking into surface. R. chinensis gall extracts showed the strong inhibitory activities ($IC_{50}$ $12.5{\mu}g/mL$) against ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, when compared with the ${\beta}-glucosidase$. And this inhibitory activities is increased by the samples in a dose-depedent pattern. These data showed that the extracts of R. chinensis gall inhibited the cell-surface expression of NDV-hemagglutinin-neuramidase glycoprotein without significantly affecting HN glycoprotein synthesis in NDV-infected BHK cells.

Ephedra sinica Stapf, known as a medicinal plant, inhibited not only syncytium formation, but also trafficking of viral glycoprotein, hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN) to the cell-surface. Trafficking of viral glycoprotein to the surface of infected-cells results in syncytium formation in Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-infected baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. Viral glycoprotein in the infected-cell is processed within the endoplasmic reticulum during routing into surface. The processing of viral glycoprotein like a N-linked oligosaccharide trimming by ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in cell is necessary for virus infection. Methanol extracts showed inhibitory activities ($IC_{50}$ $15{\mu}g/mL$) against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. This suggested that E. sinica extracts inhibited the cell-surface expression of NDV-HN glycoprotein without significantly affecting HN glycoprotein synthesis in NDV-infected BHK cells.

The present study was carried out for research and development of natural antimicrobial from extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ against food borne bacteria. The hexane extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ at 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ per disc showed 15 ~ 20 mm inhibition zone against gram positive and gram negative barteria. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hexane extract was 250${\mu}g$/$m\ell$against Bacillus cereus, 250~500${\mu}g$/$m\ell$against Listeria monocytogenes, 500${\mu}g$/$m\ell$ against Staphylococcus aureus, Psedomonas aeruginosa. Observation by transmission electron microscope, showed that disruption of the cell wall assumed to be due to the bactericidal activity. In addition, the membrane integrity of the sensitive cells was disrupted by exposure to Stachys sieboldii MIQ extract on the D-$\beta$-galatosidase activity as substrate of O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galacto-pyranoside. The hexane extract of Stachys sieboldii MIQ was very stable on the pH and thermal stability.

Chlorosulfolipids(CSLs)는 1960 년대에 해조류에서 발견되었다. 하지만 당시 기술력으로는 해조류에서 CSLs 를 추출해 내는 것이 불가능하여 연구가 중단 되었다. 그 후로 40 년 뒤 2009 년이 되어서야 CSLs 를 추출할 수 있게 되었다. CSLs 가 독성을 지니고 있다는 연구가 보고 되어 왔다. 하지만 이 CSL 가 형성하는 구조를 실험으로 알수가 없고 아직까지 학회에 보고 된 적이 없다. 따라서 본 연구원이 MD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 CSLs 가 형성하는 세포막의 구조를 알아보기 위하여 Coarse-grain 모델을 이용한 CSLs 의 Self-Assembly 연구와 이 결과로 인해 얻은 정보로 atomistic 모델을 만들어서 MD 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.
