This study was carried out to compare lactic acid bacteria count of liquid type yogurts with various experimental conditions during shelf-life period. The conditions were media(BCP and Elliker agar), incubation conditions(aerobic and anaerobic), dilution waters(saline and phosphate buffer) and dilution methods(10 and 100 times). All of the samples were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs. In the case of counting L. acidophilus as a yogurt starter culture, there were differences on dilution waters and incubation conditions, but were no difference on media and dilution methods. In the case of counting L jugurti and mixed strain with L. acidophilus and L. casei, there were differences on media, incubation conditions and dilution waters, but was no difference on dilution methods. For L. casei in the yogurt, media and dilution methods were shown slightly different viable cell count but incubation conditions were not shown difference. In the case of counting L. bulgaricus, there were differences on media, incubation conditions and dilution methods, but was no difference on dilution waters. Therefore, the measurment of lactic acid bacteria count may be effective if preferred experimental conditions are selected for different types of strain.

본 연구의 목적은 3주 동안 장기간 냉각상태로 보관된 개 정자의 기능적 특성을 알아보고자 두 종류의 정자 희석액, Glucose-BSA(G-BSA), Dimitropoulos-II(BIMI)가 정자의 기능적 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 개 정액을 수지법에 의해 채취하여 원심분리한 후 정장은 제거하였다. 정자를 G-BSA나 DIMI으로 희석하여 최종 농도를 $100\times10^6$ sperm/ml로 하였다. 희석된 정자를 정자 운송 시스템을 이용하여 루지애나 주립 대학에서 뉴올리언즈 실험실까지 운송하였다. 정자 운송 시스템은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $9^{\circ}C$까지 분당 $0.08^{\circ}C$ 냉각율로 설정하였다. 희석된 정자는 $4^{\circ}C$에서 3주간 보관하였다. 보관 1일부터, 매주 단위로 정자의 활력, 정자 원형질막 고유성(생존성), 정자 첨체의 고유성을 검사하였다. 또한 체외조건하에서의 정자 번식 능력을 평가하기 위해 zona binding assay를 실시하였다. 실험 결과 냉각 상태로 3주 동안 보관된 개 정자는 여전히 정자의 기능적 특성을 나타냈다. 냉각기간이 길어질수록 정자의 활력 및 생존성은 감소하였으며(P<0.01), 첨체의 고유성은 냉각기간에 따라 감소하였으나 유의성은 없었다. 정자의 특성 중 활력이 다른 특성에 비해 냉각처리에 민감한 반응을 보였다. G-BSA배지에 보관된 정자의 활력 및 생존성이 DIMI에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 1 주 동안 보관된 정자의 생존성의 비교시 유의성이 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 그러나 첨체의 고유성은 1일 동안 DIMI에 보관된 정자에서 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 3주 동안 냉각상태로 보관된 개 정자는 여전히 난자의 투명대에 결합하는 능력을 보였으며, G-BSA에 보관된 정자의 경우 난자에 부착되는 평균 정자 수가 보관일수에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 그러나 희석액 종류에 따른 난자에 부착되는 평균 정자 수의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 정자의 활력 및 생존성과 난자의 투명대에 결합하는 정자 수와의 상관관계를 본 결과, 활력 및 생존성이 높은 정자일수록 난자의 투명대에 많이 결합하여 정자의 잠재적 번식력이 증가함을 보였다. 결론적으로 G-BSA나 DIMI의 희석액으로 희석된 후 $4^{\circ}C$에서 냉각 보관된 정자는 3주 동안 정자의 기능적 특성을 유지하였으며 냉각 보관 2주까지 좋은 성적의 정자 특성을 나타냈다. 개 정자 냉각 보존에 대안적인 희석액으로 G-BSA도 사용 가능한 것으로 사료된다.

A series of experiments were conducted to compare the effects of various diluents in cold storage on the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherimus sperm. Various diluents of glucose solutions, artificial sea water(ASW) and 50% ASW were used to store the sperm at 4$^{\circ}C$. The storage effect was evaluated using sperm activity index(SAI), survival rate of sperm and fertilization rate to egg. ASW and 1.2 M glucose were found to be better diluents which maintained high motility and survival rate of sperm f3r a storage period of 30 days. Optimal pH of diluent to store the sperm at 4$^{\circ}C$ is 7.0∼8.0. In order to keep high SAI and survival rate of sperm, addition of 400 ppm neomycin into the diluent revealed the best storage results.

Curing behavior and glass transition temperatures of epoxy resins into which reactive diluents were added to control processability were investigated. Heat of cure generated of the epoxy resin was reduced with butyl glycidyl ether(BGE) and phenyl glycidyl ether(PGE) contents. $T_g$ of the resin was decreased with the amount of reactive diluents and it was attributed to increased molecular weight between crosslink points. Cure kinetics of the resins was studied employing autocatalytic reaction model and found that reaction constants decreased as the contents of reactive diluent was increased.

Most neurodegenerative diseases are known to be influenced by oxidative stress. We investigated the anti-oxidative activity of the concentrate of fermented wild ginseng root culture (HLJG0701) containing ginsenosides Rg5 and Rk1. HLJG0701 showed effective DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$: 16- and 4-fold dilution, respectively) and was inhibited dose-dependently by the $FeSO_4$-induced lipid peroxidation group (8- and 4-fold dilution: 2.3 and 1.5 nM, respectively). In MTT and LDH assays, 8-, 16-, 32- and 64-fold diluted HLJG0701 significantly increased cell viability by 70, 53, 35, and 26%, respectively. LDH released by HLJG0701 was reduced 1.3-fold with 8-fold diluted HLJG0701 compared to the $H_2O_2$-treated control. In addition, the inhibitory effect of HLJG0701 on oxidative stress in PC12 cells was confirmed by DCF-DA analysis (16-, 4-fold diluted HLJG0701: 50 and 68% ROS inhibition, respectively), TBARS (16- and 4-fold diluted HLJG0701: 50.7 and 46.5% inhibition, respectively), GPx (16- and 4-fold diluted HLJG0701: 133.3 and 227.3% release, respectively), and SOD analysis (16- and 4-fold diluted HLJG0701: 118.2 and 218.2% release, respectively). These results suggested that HLJG0701 protects neuronal cells by its anti-oxidative effects and hence can be a potential preventive material against neurodegenerative diseases.

Purpose Estradiol (E2) is a steroid hormone mainly produced in women and is a useful indicator for diagnosis of gynecological diseases, menstrual cycle, menopause, and precocious puberty. E2 measurement is performed by diluting the $^{125}I$ radioactive tracer and tracer buffer in the kit. However, It was not precisely specified when the period of tracer is available after activating. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate dilution time based on the measurement value with dilution time. Materials and Methods From December 2016 to February 2017, 60 E2 samples with concentrations ranging from 8 to 4577 pg/mL were divided into low, medium, and high concentrations. Dilution of the $^{125}I$ tracer was performed on a 230 RPM agitator for 30 minutes, 1 hour 30 minutes, and 2 hours 30 minutes, respectively. 24 hour dilution was gently shaken and refrigerated. To verify the difference and significance of the results according to the dilution time, a test of normality was performed using SPSS 18.0 and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. The measured value according to the dilution time was compared with the interquartile range of the absolute error. Results The results of Kruskal-Wallis test were not significant (P>0.05). Measurement results are showed as interquartile range of absolute error. At low concentration, it is 0.052 between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes, and 0.105 between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes. At medium concentration, 0.062 between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, and 0.038 between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes. At high concentration, it is 0.029 between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes, and 0.06 between 2 hours 30 minutes and 24 hours. Conclusion There were no statistically significant differences. However, the change in the measured value is the smallest between 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes. Therefore, we recommend diluting time between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes.
