This study has been undertaken to examine the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of electric organ from korean electtric ray(Narke japonica). Korean electric ray was caughted at Chungmu sea and transported to the laboratory, where electric organs were removed and stored at $-70^{\circ}C$ until used. Acelycholinesterase(AChE) of electric organ was purified by affinity column that was prepared with dicaproyl-methylpyridinium linked to Sepharose 4B. Upon purification, the specific activities in Ellman unit were increased by 52 and 39 times for high salt soluble AChE (HSSE, 870.86 $\DeltaOD/min/geam$ of tissue) and detergent soluble AChE(DSE, 105.42 .$\DeltaOD/min/geam$ of tissue), respectively. Each subunit of AChE separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)was transferred to immonilon P by western boltting and detected by mAbs raised against each subunit of AChE from electric organ og Torpedo califomica. Collagenic tails of AChE from Torpedo califomica, likewise 103Kd protein of AChE from Narke japonica was detected by monoclonal antibody specific to 103Kd of AChE from Torpedo califomica. However, molar ratio of three subunits of AChE from Narke japonica is different from that of Torpedo calicormica. Furthermore, catalytic subunit of AChE from Narke japonica was not identified by monoclnal antibody specific to catalytic subunit of AChE from Torpedo californica. These results showed differences in molecular structure of AChE from Narke japonica and AChE from Torpedo califormica eventhough they showed same enzymatic activities.

This study was designed to develop biomarkers of coastal pollution using biochemical indices of flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) by changes in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the serum and cholinesterase activities in brain membranes. For this purpose acetylcholiesterase (AChE) activity, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity, LDH/AChE ratio and LDH/BChE ratio of cultured flounders at 5 different sites on the southern coast of Korea were compared to those of wild flounders caught in the Pohang, eastern coast of Korea as a control group. Relatively high LDH activities were measured in the serum of flounders cultured on the southern coast of Korea (0.101-0.145 unit) than those in the Pohang control group (0.093 unit). AChE activities were significantly low $(about\;10-20\%)$ in brain membranes of cultured flounders compared to those in the Pohang control group. The ratios of LDH/AChE and LDH/BChE were consistently higher $(136-178\%,\; 155-214\%)$ in cultured flounders than those of Pohang control group. Thus, we propose that the ratios of LDH/AChE and LDH/BChE in flounders could be applicable for the diagnosis of marine pollution.

The effects of physostigmine and neostigmine on the parathin induced toxicity were examined in adult female rats. Physostigmine $(100\;{\mu}g/kg,\;ip)$ or neostigmine $(200\;{\mu}g/kg,\;ip)$ inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinesterase (ChE) activities in blood, brain and lung when the enzyme activity was measured 30 min after the treatment. At the doses of two carbamates equipotent on brain AChE, neostigmine showed greater inhibition on peripheral AChE/ChE. The enzyme activity returned to normal in 120 min following the carbamates except in the lung of rats treated with neostigmine. Carbamates administered 30 min prior to parathion (2 mg/kg) antagonized the inhibition of AChE/ChE by parathion when the enzyme activity was measured 2 hr following parathion. Neostigmine showed greater protective effect on peripheral AChE/ChE. The effect of either carbamate on AChE/ChE was not significant 2 hr beyond the parathion treatment. Carbamates decreased the mortality of rats challenged with a lethal dose of parathion (4 mg/kg, ip) either when treated alone or in combination with atropine (10 mg/kg, ip). Lethal action of paraoxon (1.5 mg/ks ip), the active metabolite of parathion was also decreased by the carbamate treatment indicating that the protection was not mediated by competitive inhibition of metabolic conversion of parathion to paraoxon. The results suggest that carbamylation of the active sites may not be the sole underlying mechanism of protection provided by the carbamates.

Purpose: Acute organophosphate (OP) poisoning may be monitored by measuring the acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It is important to assess severity and establish prognostic tests in the early stage of OP poisoning. The aim of this study was to look at the relationship between various clinical aspects of the OP poisoning, prognostic indicators of OP poisoning including Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) 3, and the associated changes in AChE levels. Methods: Clinical data and initial AChE levels from thirty-seven patients with OP poisoning were prospectively reviewed from 12 teaching hospitals in South Korea from August 2005 to July 2006. Clinical manifestations at the time of arrival such as miosis, respiratory abnormality, salivation, urinary incontinence, GCS score, AVPU scale, need for intubation, and mechanical ventilation requirements were recorded. SAPS 3 was calculated using clinical data and laboratory results. Results: The median level of AChE was 9.8 (1.3-53.6) U/gHb. There was no significant difference in AChE levels between the groups with and without cholinergic symptoms. The median level of AChE of the patients who required intubation and those who did not were 3.5 U/gHb and it 19.7 U/gHb respectively (Mann-Whitney test; p<0.001). The AChE levels were also significantly different (p=0.007) in patients who needed mechanical ventilation compared to those who did not with AChE levels found to be 3.1 U/gHb and it was 14.8 U/gHb, respectively. Level of consciousness assessed using the AVPU scale was correlated with AChE levels (Kruskal-Wallis test; p=0.013). GCS score were correlated with AChE levels (p=0.007, Spearman's rho = 0.454). In addition, the lower the level of initial AChE, the longer the ICU stay (p=0.029, Spearman's rho=-0.380). SAPS 3 was inversely correlated with the initial AChE (p<0.001, Spearman's rho=-0.633). Conclusion: In the acute OP poisoning, low AChE levels appear to help indicate the severity of poisoning. The initial AChE level may be a useful prognostic parameter for acute OP poisoning.

점박이응애(Tetranychus urticae Koch)에 대한 독성시험방법을 비교하고, 감수성계통을 누대도태하여 in vivo에서 저항성 발달수준과 in vitro에서의 AChE insensitivity의 관계를 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 점박이응애의 살비제 저항성 수준결정의 독성시험방법중 slide dip법 (CV=8.7%)은 leaf dip법(CV=12.2%) 이나 leaf disc법(CV=13.6%)보다 변이가 적고 정확도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 처리방법이 간편하고 한가지 농도에 대하여 여러 계통을 동시에 처리할 수 있고 처리 후의 조건을 균일하게 유지시킬 수 있으며 기주식물 없이 시험이 가능하였다. topical application법(CV=8.1%) 역시 정확도는 높았으나 시험 조작이 어렵고 필요한 장비의 구입 비용이 더 들며 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있었다. 두 유기인제에 의한 누대도태결과 22세대 carbophenothion 도태개체군은 동일약제에 156배의 저항성이 발달하였으며, ethion에 대하여 128배의 저항성 반응을 보였다. 24세대 ethion 도태개체군은 동일약제에 64.1배의 저항성 발달이 되었으며, carbophenothion에 대하여도 65배의 저항성 반응을 보였다. 도태개체군의 AChE 활성저해도를 보면 감수성계통에 비하여 carbophenotion 누대계통은 carbohenothion은 3.3배, ethion은 2.7배의 활성저해도를 보였다. 또한 ethion 도태개체군에 대해서는 ethion은 2.6배 carbophenothion은 3.0배의 활성저해도를 나타냈다. 위와 같이 in vivo에서의 저항성 발달 수준과 in vitro에서의 AChE 저해도와는 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 보아 유기인계 살비제에 대한 점박이응애의 저항성 발현에는 AChE의 insensitivity가 주요인으로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다.

To develop a new anti-dementia acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor from edible mushrooms, AChE inhibitory activities were determined on water and ethanol extracts of various edible mushrooms from oriental medicine markets and agriculture markets. As a result, the 70% ethanol extract from Pholiota adiposa fruiting body had the highest AChE inhibitory activity of 30.6, and its water extract also had an AChE inhibitory activity of 23.8%. Therefore, we finally selected P. adiposa as a potent anti-dementia AChE inhibitor-containing mushroom. The AChE inhibitor of P. adiposa was maximally extracted when its fruiting body was treated with water for 3hr at $70^{\circ}C$ and 70% ethanol for 12 hr at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study was carried out with the detection for multiresidue of the carbamate pesticide such as carbaryl and cabofuran by enzyme-inhibition method. The check time for determination of acetylcholinesterase(AChE) activity was selected at 60 sec. The AChE activity in chicken brain determined by the Ellman's method was $162{\mu}$mol/min/g protein. $I_{50}$ for AChE by carbamate pesticide with wet kit was 0.169mg/L of carbaryl and 0.089mg/L of cabofuran, respectively. The incubation time for enzyme kit with substrate kit was 30min for determination of AChE activity. Enzyme kit with substrate kit was stable at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Limit detection concentration of carbaryl with dry kit for AChE was 0.05mg/L. The dry kit such as wet kit applied Enzyme-Inhibition(EI) method with AChE was confirmed the multi residue method to detect the carbamate pesticides.
