To study and validate tissue-specific promoters and vectors, it is important to develop cell culture systems that retain the tissue and species specificity. Such systems are attractive alternatives to transgenic animal models. This study established a line of porcine mammary gland epithelial cells (PMECs) from a primary culture based on the cellular morphology and mRNA levels of porcine beta-casein (CSN2). The selected PMECs were stained with the cytokeratin antibody, and were shown to express milk protein genes (CSN2, lactoferrin, and whey acidic protein). In addition, to confirm the acini structure of PMEC932-7 in 3D culture, live cells were stained with SYTO-13 dye, which binds to nucleic acid. The acini of these PMECs on matrigel were formed by the aggregation of peripheral cells and featured a hollow lumens. The system was demonstrated by testing the effects of the culture conditions to cell culture including cell density and matrigel methods of the PMECs. These results suggest that PMECs possess the genetic and structural features of mammary epithelial cells.

뇌신경 변성 / 퇴행과 관련된 중요한 병인론 중의 하나는 변성 과정에서 형성된 유리기(free radical)로 인한 항산화계의 평형 소실로 알려져 있다. Aspalatone (APT)의 예상되는 항산화 효능을 검정하기 위하여 본 실험에서는 Kainic acid (KA) 유발 뇌변성 모델을 적용하였다. KA 모델은 변연계의 간질성 경련과 신경세포 변성에 대하여 재현성 있는 병변 모델을 제공해 주며, 이와 같은 신경세포의 병독 기전에 산소 유리기가 관여함이 강력히 시사되고 있기 때문이다. KA 투여로 인하여 지속적이고도 전형적인 간질성 경련이 관찰되고 1일 이내에 높은 치사율을 보였으나 APT으로 인하여 그 간질성 경련 행위와 비율이 억제되고 KA 유발 치사율도 억제되었다. 최종 KA 투여 3일 후에 얻어진 흰쥐 해마 및 대뇌 피질에서 항산화 효소인 Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (Cat.), Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) 및 과산화지질의 지표인 Malondialdehyde (MDA)를 검정하였다. 대조군에 비하여 KA는 뇌조직의 SOD-1을 유도하였으나, Cat.와 GSH-PX의 활성은 현저히 유도되지 않았고, 반면에 MDA 치는 현저히 증가하였다. 즉, Cat., GSH-PX와 같은 $H_2O$$_2$중화제가 동반 유도하지 않는 SOD의 유도는 세포내 축적되는 $H_2O$$_2$로 인하여 Fenton/Haber-Weiss 반응을 가속화하여 과산화지질화를 촉진함을 시사한다. APT 병용 투여로 SOD는 현저히 유도되지 않았으나 특히 Cat.가 현저히 유도되어지고 MDA는 억제되었다. 이와 같은 생화학적인 결과는 다음의 형태학적인 소견과 일치한다. Fos 관련 항원 (FRA)와 SOD-1을 면역세포화학 (Immunocytochemistry)적 방법으로 이중 표식 (double-labelling) 하였다. FRA는 KA로 인한 신경세포의 자극에 대한 지표로 응용하였고, SOD-1은 퇴행성 뇌질환에서 산화적 손상의 지표로 사용하였다. KA 투여로 해마의 dentate gyrus (DG) 내에 강한 면역환성 (immunoreactivity)이 나타났고 pyramidal cell layer (PCL)와 glia에 SOD-1이 강하게 염색되었다. APT 병용 투여로 상당수의 경련이 일어나지 않은 흰쥐는 해마의 DG에 FRA가 경미하게 염색되었고, PCL에 SOD-1도 경미하게 나타났으나, 경련이 나타난 쥐에서는 KA만을 투여한 흰쥐와 구별되지 않았다. 이상의 APT의 항산화 효과는 KA로 인한 뇌세포 변성 개선에 중요한 인자로 작용할 것으로 사료되나, 보다 명확한 APT의 기전을 검색하고 직접 임상에 응응하기 위하여는 보다 다양한 실험 조건이 보완되어야 찰 것으로 생각된다.

In the direct digital textile printing process, the pre-treatment process is an essential condition for products by forming a clear pattern by sticking and penetration of DTP dye without spreading on the fabric. Recently, pre-treatment agent is changing from high viscosity to low viscosity in order to reduce defects of fabric during pre-treatment process. In this study, pre-treatment agent of acrylic polymer with low viscosity(less than 50cps) was prepared according to the solid content of the polymer, pre-treated on the cotton fabric, and direct DTP printing was performed to compare the color and sharpness. As a result, it showed high color at a viscosity of 50cps or less. When the solid content of the polyacrylic acid having a high molecular weight(A1) was 2.5wt%, when the solid content of the polyacrylic acid having a low molecular weight(A2) was 1 - 1.5wt%, the color was the best. And when the solid content of A1 and A2 was 1.5wt%, the degree of spreading was small and A1 was superior to A2 at the sharpness.

Water treatment study employing plasma is thoroughly examined in the following paper. The research using water plasma torch showed superior results in terms of economical and energy efficiency due to the substantial reduction of electric power. A comparison of streamer and arc discharge phenomena taken place in water was put under close scrutiny. Dyeing wastewater exposed to the plasma treatment was sampled and analyzed for relative dissolved ozone concentration, hydrogen peroxide, as well as the color removal efficiency. It was found that streamer discharges is more effective than arc discharge in growth of $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ by plasma chemical constituents, though plasma torch had small oxidation reagents selectivity. Thus, streamer discharges, due to the efficient plasma-chemical reactions environment, proved to be more efficient compare to the thermal arc plasma loading.

The aim of this study was to investigate the tyrosinase inhibitory activity and antimicrobial activity by mixtures of ultrasonicated chitosan and Maillard reaction products. Analysis of tyrosinase was purified from potato and confirmed by active staining after SDS-PAGE. Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were formed from various sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, arabinose or ribose) and cystein. MRPs inhibited the tyrosinase purified from potato. The highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity was shown by MRP from glucose and cystein. Ultrasonicated chitosan (over 1 hr) showed antimicrobial activity at the concentration of 1% against E. coli and S. aureus. For the development of antibrowning agent with antimicrobial activity, tyrosinase inhibitory and antimicrobial activity by the mixtures of ultrasonicated chitosan and MRP were tested. 1:1 mixture of ultrasonicated chitosan and MRP from glucose and cystein was the best antibrowning agent having antimicrobial activity.

Natural dyes are more expensive than synthetic dyes and the dyeing process, which is mainly immersion of dye, is complicated. For this reason, relatively small-scale production methods were predominant. However, awareness and interest in environmental sustainability is rising globally, and the use of synthetic dyes causes various environmental problems such as wastewater and CO₂ emission, so the consumption of natural dyes is increasing. In addition, interest in digital textile printing, an eco-friendly dyeing method that can produce products of various designs and uses less water, is growing. In this study, natural indigo dye (Indigofera tinctoria) was used as a raw material for Digital Textile Printing ink, and ¹⁴C (Biocarbon) present in it was measured to confirm whether it was derived from natural ingredients. The performance was confirmed by testing the pH, viscosity, electrical conductivity, surface tension, and particle size analysis of natural indigo ink. In addition, the performance of natural indigo DTP ink and printing fabric was evaluated by inspecting the change in color fastness and corresponding index substances before and after digital printing with natural indigo DTP ink on textiles. Through this, the possibility of commercialization of DTP ink and printing fabric using natural indigo was confirmed.

The purpose of this study was to establish a simple vitrification protocols to preserve animal cell lines derived from tissues of livestock that could be recultured. Bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC) were used for the vitrification process using a 0.25 ml straw to increase cryopreservation efficiency. BOEC was cultured from the oviduct of 3.5-day estrus state, and the commercially available polyampholyte StemCell Keep^TM was used as a cryoprotective agent. Using different concentrations, the viability rates of BOEC in 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100% in freezing media were investigated. Survivability was determined using a differential staining technique using a trypan blue test and a CYTO-13/PI staining protocol. The viability rates of BOEC in the trypan blue test were 5.6±11.8, 12.5±7.2, 53.0±2.7, 85.1±6.9, 79.8±0.6, and 60.7±6.7% with a respective concentration of StemCell Keep^TM. The viability rates in CYTO-13/PI staining were 4.6±2.5, 30.8±12.1, 58.4±2.5, 85.5±1.2, 79.8±0.6, and 71.2±1.2%, respectively. These results indicate that BOEC could be preserved with StemCell Keep^TM without toxicity in a 0.25-ml straw. The optimal concentration of vitrification solution with StemCell Keep^TM was determined to be 50% and can be considered as a proper preservation method for cryobanking.
