Numerous bio-digital contents have been produced by new technology using biochip and others for analyzing early chemical-induced genes. These contents have little meaning by themselves, and so they should be modified and extracted after consideration of biological meaning. These include genomics, transcriptomics, protenomics, metabolomics, which combined into omics. Omics tools could be applied into toxicology, forming a new field of toxicogenomics. It is possible that approach of toxicogenomics can estimate toxicity more quickly and accurately by analyzing gene/protein/metabolite profiles. These approaches should help not only to discover highly sensitive and predictive biomarkers but also to understand molecular mechanism(s) of toxicity, based on the development of analysing technology. Furthermore, it is important that bio-digital contents should be obtained from specific cells having biological events more than from whole cells. Taken together, many bio-digital contents should be analyzed by careful calculating algorism under well-designed experimental protocols, network analysis using computational algorism and related profound databases.

The effects of film processing conditions on the water vapor permeability (WVP), the solubility of film's protein (SFP) and the soluble film's meterials amount (SFMA) were investigated to establish the conditions for preparing biodegradable and edible Alaska Pollack meal protein isolate (APMPI) film. ms of film were decreased with increasing plasticizer concentration but those were decreased with decrement of APMPI's pH values. SEPs were decreased with increasing APMPI's pH and plasticizer concentration. SFMAS were also strongly affected by plasticizer concentration and APMPI's pH. In the case of adding different plasticizers, WVP was increased in order as follows: glycerol, polyethylene glycol and sorbitol but SFMA showed inverse order.

We investigated the physicochemical and functinal properties of rapeseed(Brassica napus var. Youngsan) protein prepared by combining various soluvent and purification procedures, such as ultrafiltration (UF) concentration and acid-washin. The lightness value(YCIE) of each protein was greadully improved and its hydrophobicity increased by the degree of purification. The analysis of each protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-plyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) had nine bands revealed without difference, the considerable portion of which were of $1.96~1.59{\times}10^4$ dalton molecular weight. The content of amino acid increased a little more in the other processed proteins than in the control, and decreased considerably in the proteins extracted by the mixed solvent of 1% sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP) and 0.25M ethlene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The better proteins were purified, the lower the kinematic viscosities were in their values. The water absorption and foaming properties were scarcely different according to the processes. The oil absorption and the emulsion activity index normally increased according to the degree of purification. The properties of heat coagulation revealed high values only in the proteins processed by EDTA while they showed considerably low values the other proteins.

We tested the bone regenerating capacity and histologic response of bioresorbable matrix-type implant, which was made with Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) and bone apatite for the carrier of bone morphogenetic protein(BMP). The critical size defect of 8mm in diameter was created at the calvaria of SD rats(n=18), and repaired with polymer implant with $15{\mu}g$ of rhBMP-2(n=9) or without it(n=9). At 2 weeks, 1 months after implantation, the animals were sacrificed(3 animals at every interval and group) and histologically evaluated. The calvarial defect which was repaired with polymer with BMP healed with newly formed bone about 70% of total defect. But that without BMP showed only 0 to under 30% bony healing. Inflammatory response was absent in both group through the experimental period, but there's marked foreign body giant response though it was a little less significant in polymer with BMP group. As the polymer was resorbed, the space was infiltrated and replaced by fibrovascular tissue, not by bone. In conclusion, our formulation of bioresorbable matrix implant loaded with bone morphogenetic protein works good as a bone regenerating material. However, it is mandatory to devise our system to have better osteoinductive and osteoconductive property, and less multinucleated giant cell response.

A potent fungus producing milk clotting enzyme with fairly weak proteolytic activity was isolated from various soil and sewage, which the selected strain, SA-101, was identified as Mucor sp. with microbiological characteristics. Its milk clotting enzyme production was maximized when grown on 10g of wheat bran media added to 8ml of tap water containing 0.1M HCl for 60hrs at $30^{\circ}C$. This enzyme production was stimulated by addition of 6% lactose, 0.05% NaCl and reached a maximal level of 9810 unit/g wheat bran. The crude enzyme product could be produced effectively by salting out with ammonium sulfate fractionation and lyophilization. The ratio of milk clotting activity to proteolytic activity of crude enzyme product was lower than Hansen rennet, but resembled to Meito rennet. The optimal temperature of milk clotting activity of crude enzyme product was abound $60^{\circ}C$ on a substrate of 10% reconstituted skim milk containing 1/100M $CaCl_2$.

The mechanism of cadmium adaptation and detoxification in Rhizopus oryzae was investigated. The lag phase was lengthened as the concentration of cadmium increased. Detoxication of cadmium were postulated to be primarily operated by the induction of two cadmium binding proteins and increment of inorganic polyphosphate pools in adaptation phase. After adaptation, inorganic polyphosphate system has been involved in turnover and compartmentalization. The secondary system for cadmium adaptation and detoxification might be derepression of ACPase activity and the synthesis of phosphatidyl serine. It has been considered that the overall changes for cadmium adaptation and detoxfication eventually influence on the morphology, resulting in the dispersed filamentous type which may be the most advantageous form.

This study was conducted to evaluate plant proteins as a replacement for a fishmeal diet in the rearing of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. Twelve groups of 20 fish averaging 34.0±0.62 g were randomly distributed into 12 rectangular tanks (250 L). Four experimental diets included a control diet containing 60% fishmeal (Control), and three other diets that replaced 20% of fishmeal with soy protein concentrate (SPC), fermented soybean protein concentrate (F-SPC), and enzyme-processed soy protein concentrate (E-SPC). At the end of the feeding trial, fish that were fed Control, SPC and E-SPC diets showed significantly higher weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and protein efficiency ratio than those that were fed F-SPC diet. However, there were no significant differences among the fish that were fed Control, SPC, and E-SPC diets. No significant differences were observed in crude protein, crude lipid, and ash of whole body among the fish that were fed all the diets. Therefore, these results indicated that 20% of fishmeal could be replaced by E-SPC or SPC without any adverse effects on the growth performance of coho salmon.

Background: Cytokine-mediated ex vivo expansion has been proposed as a means of increasing the number of cord blood (CB) hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. As well as stem cell number, stromal cells are necessary for functional maturation of hematopoiesis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of stromal cells during ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells. Methods : $CD34^+$ cells were purified from CB by magnetic bead selection. The levels of of interleukin-3, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6, granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ were measured in culture supernatants on 0, 1, 2, and 3 weeks, using ELISA techniques. CB $CD34^+$ cells were expanded in Iscoves modified Dulbeccos medium in the presence of several cytokines. The expression of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, von Willebrand factor, vimentin, and CD14 in newly developed stromal cells was examined by immunocytochemical method. Relevant extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and proper cytokines were also assayed for the most suitable condition for expansion of stromal cells. Results: Several cytokines were found to have been produced by CB $CD34^+$ cells as well as bone marrow-derived $CD34^+$ cells. During ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells, stromal cells appeared in the culture by day 4 and expanded over the following 7-10 days before being confluent by day 2 1. These cells expressed surface markers characteristic of cells of endothelial lineage. Furthermore, these stroaml cells also expanded effectively when treated with thrombopoietin+flt-3 ligand+stem cell factor+leukemia inhibitory factor or 0.1% poly-L-lysine-coated wells. Conclusion: Stromal cells were developed during ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells and that this development could be enhanced further by treating the stromal cells with cytokines or ECM.

Hairy vetch(Vicia villosa Roth) which is legume fur winter cover crop can supply nitrogen for companion crop and soil. The purpose of this study was to improve the forage quality and productivity using forage crop and hairy vetch in winter season fer three years. The results of this experiments were summarized as follows. Plant height of rye was decreased but hairy vetch was increased. The heading stage of rye did not show difference among the treatments. The content of dry mater(DM) was decreased with increased ratio of hairy vetch/rye but it did not show significant difference between seeding methods. Crude protein(CP) content tended to increase in mixture plots. Acid detergent fiber(ADF) and NDF(neutral detergent fiber) content of mixture plots were lower than that of rye mono-cultivated. In vitro dry matter digestibility(IVDMD) and TDN(total digestible nutrient) content were showed inverted tendency. The highest DM yield was in rye mono-cultivated, but it was similar between mono-cultivated and mixture I (P<0.05). In the CP yield, it did not show the significant difference between rye mono-culture and mixture I . The content of total nitrogen in soil showed slight increase as 0.06∼0.08%. Conclusively, mixture I showed equal or superior productivity and quality comparing with rye mono-cultivated, mixture I would be recommended to produce higher yield and to conserve soil environment.

To identify the immunogens of a PRT strain of Infectious Hematopoietci Necrosis Virus (IHNV) isolated from cultrued fish in Korea (Park et al, 1993). a panel of 4 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against IHNV-PRT strain and two polyclonal antisera from rainbow trout survived IHN disease were prepared. Proteins of purified IHNV-PRT strain were analysed on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto NC paper and were incubated with the antibody solutions. With the polyclonal antibodies, four bands ($M_1$, $M_2$, G and 90Kd) were detected and the band density was in the order of $M_2$ > 90Kd > $M_1$ > G. However, with the MAbs, only two bands(G and 90Kd) were detected. The origin of 90Kd protein was not clear but maybe cell. All the results represented that among the five proteins of IHNV-PRT strain (Park et al., 1993), $M_2$, $M_1$ and G proteins were immunogens and $M_2$ protein was the strongest one.
