연구배경: 폐결핵의 진단은 결핵균이 배양되면 확진이 되나, 실제 임상에서는 세균학적 진단이 양성으로 나타나지 않는 폐결핵 환자가 다수 존재하므로 활동성 위한 빠르고 확실한 진단방법이 임상에서 절실히 요구되고 있다, $\beta$-glucuronidase(이하 GLU)와 $\beta$-N-acetyl glucosaminidase(이하 NAG)는 폐내 탐식세포인 대식세포(macrophage)의 리소솜(lysosome) 효소들로서, 이산화규소가 폐내로 흡입되어 폐포내 대식세포에 의해서 탐식되고 이어서 대식세포가 파괴된 다고 알려진 규폐증에서 NAG의 혈중농도가 증가한다는 보고가 있었다. 또한 폐결핵에서도 세포내에서 증식된 결핵균을 충분히 사멸시키지 못하여 활동성 결핵 병변이 유발된 경우 파괴된 대식세포로부터 증식된 결핵균과 함께 GLU나 NAG도 유리될 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구는 활동성 폐결핵환자의 혈중 리소솜 효소 활성도가 비활동성 결핵환자나 정상대조군보다 높은지 여부와 혈중내 리소솜 효소의 측정이 활동성 폐결핵 진단법으로 이용될 수 있는지의 여부에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 결핵균이 검출되어 활동성 폐결핵으로 진단된 환자군과 비활동성 폐결핵군 및 건강대조군에서 GLU와 NAG의 혈장내 농도 차이를 비교하였으며 활동성 폐결핵환자군에서는 투약에 따른 리소솜효소의 변동이 있는지를 관찰하기 위하여 투약후 2개월 뒤에 상기 효소들의 활성치를 다시 측정하여 진단시의 값과 비교하였다. 두가지 효소 모두 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates를 사용한 형광측정법으로 측정하였다. 결과: 1) 활동성 폐결핵군과 비활동정 폐결핵군 및 건강대조군 사이의 혈중 GLU와 NAG의 농도차이: 활동성 폐결핵군의 GLU 및 NAG의 혈중 농도는 $21.52{\pm}3.01$ 및 $325.4{\pm}23.37nmol$ product/h/ml of plasma(이하 단위표기생략)로서 비활동정 폐결핵군 $24.87{\pm}3.78$, $362.36{\pm}33.92$와 건강대조군 $25.45{\pm}4.05$, $324.44{\pm}28.66$ 사이에 차이가 없었다. 2) 활동성 폐결핵군에서 항결핵제 치료 전후의 혈중 NAG와 GLU의 농도차이: 활동성 폐결핵 치료시작 2개월후 GLU의 혈중치는 $41.18{\pm}5.23$으로서 치료전에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 증가되었고(p값<0.05) NAG의 혈중농도는 $359.2{\pm}39.53$으로서 치료전과 차이가 없었다. 결론: 활동성 폐결핵환자의 혈장내 GLU 및 NAG의 농도는 비활동성 결핵군이나 건강대조군과 차이가 없었으므로 상기 효소들의 측정은 활동성 폐결핵 진단의 방법으로서 유용하지 않는 것으로 사료되었고 병 경과에 따른 혈중 GLU치의 증가에 대하여는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

본 실험은 볼락 종묘를 안정적으로 대량 생산하는 데 필 수적인 자치어기의 성장과 소화효소인 trypsin, pepsin-like enzyme, amylase 그리고 lipase의 activity를 측정하여 소화생리에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 산출 직후 자어의 체장은 $5.01{\pm}0.22 mm$이었던 것이 산출 후 100일에는 $36.01{\pm}1.22 mm$ 까지 성장하였고, 습중량은 산출 후 70일 전후로 급격히 증가하였다. trysin 활성은 산출후 2일째 처음으로 확인되어 $7.00{\pm}1.48$ unit을 나타내고 산출후 66일 $1425{\pm}230$ unit으로 peak를 나타내었다. pepsin-like enzyme 활성은 산출 후 11일째 처음으로 확인되었고 산출후 66일째 $902{\pm}160$ unit까지 급격히 증가하였다. Lipase 활성은 산출후 2일째 $4.5{\pm}1.4$ unit으로 확인되었고 산출후 47일계에는 $38.3{\pm}0.4$unit로 peak를 나타내었다. Amylase 활성은 산출후 11일째 $0.18{\pm}0.11$ unit으로 처음 확인되었고 산출후 50일째 $23.48{\pm}5.11$ unit까지 급격히 증가하였다. specific activity는 trypsin이 산출후 14일째, pepsin-like enzyme이 61일째 peak를 나타냈다. 볼락의 체중이 현저하게 증가하는 시기에 맞춰서 각 효소와 전활성이 급격히 상승하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것은 이시기가 위선이 기능적으로 역할을 하는 시기와 일치하므로 단백질 소화능력의 비약적인 증가가 체중 증가에 크게 관여하였음을 나타낸다. 그러므로 본 실험에서 확인 된 체중이 급격히 증가하는 시기는 볼락 양식에 있어서 사료 전환기 즉, 생물사료에서 배합사료로 전환하기에 적당하다고 할 수 있겠다.

Seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis a marine teleost fish, has long been used as one of the essential materials in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the uses of seahorse have been limited due to its high cost, despite its beneficial biological activities. Seahorse has not been widely explored for its biofunctional properties and active components. In the present study, the enzymatic hydrolysates of seahorse were prepared by using two digestive enzymes (trypsin and pepsin) and five food grade enzymes (neutrase, protamex, alcalase, kojizyme, and flavourzyme). The enzymatic hydrolysates indicated higher hydrolysis yields than its water extract. Among them, the distilled water-pepsin hydrolysate (DP) which was obtained by distilled water extraction followed by pepsin hydrolysis, showed the highest yield and protein content as well as the highest alkyl radical scavenging activity. Also, it provided protective effects against oxidative stress induced by AAPH in vero cell and zebrafish. Further fractionation based on the molecular weight was carried out to identify it’s active components, and < 5 kDa (less than 5 kDa) molecular weight fraction was confirmed to have the highest antioxidant activity. In conclusion, this study suggests that DP of seahorse has antioxidant properties, and might be a novel and useful material from the marine origin for healthy functional foods and cosmetics.

Inhibitory activities of 264 methanol extracts, which were prepared from different parts of 210 kinds of wild and medicinal plants, against human thrombin were evaluated. Based on the anti-coagulation activity determined by thrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time, the 14 extracts were screened. The fibrinolytic activity, heat stability and inhibition of other proteolytic digestive enzymes, such as pepsin, papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin, of the 14 extracts were further determined, and Ginko biloba (herba), Ephedra sinica (radix), Reynoutria elliptica (herba), Amomum tsao-ko Crevost (fructus), and Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils (bark) were finally selected as possible plant sources for anti-thrombosis agent. These results suggested that medicinal and wild plants could be the potential source of thrombin inhibitor.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with different levels of detoxified Jatropha curcas kernel meal (DJM) in growing pig diets on growth performance, nutrients digestibility and meat edibility. Methods: A total of 144 pigs with initial body weight of $20.47{\pm}1.44kg$, were randomly allocated to 6 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment and 4 pigs per replication for a period of 79 days. Six diets (DJM0, DJM15, DJM30, DJM45, DJM60, and DJM75) were formulated using DJM to replace 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, and 75% of SBM. From d 37 to 42, feces and urine were total collected from six barrows in each treatment. At day 79, thirty-six pigs were slaughtered for sampling. The feed intake and weight gain were recorded, while the intestinal morphology, digestive enzyme activities, nutrient digestibility and the content of residual phorbol esters in muscles were determined. Results: The results showed that increasing the replacement of SBM with DJM decreased the parameters including body weight, average daily gain, average daily feed intake, gain-to-feed ratio, weight and villus heights of duodenum, villus height and villus height/crypt depth of jejunum, digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase, and trypsin) activities, and nutrients digestibility (nitrogen deposition, digestibility of nitrogen, energy digestibility, and total nitrogen utilization) (linear, p<0.05; quadratic, p<0.05) and there was no significant difference among DJM0, DJM15, and DJM30 in all measured indices. The highest diarrhea morbidity was observed in DJM75 (p<0.05). Phorbol esters were not detected in pig muscle tissues. Conclusion: The DJM was a good protein source for pigs, and could be used to replace SBM up to 30% (diet phorbol esters concentration at 5.5 mg/kg) in growing pig diets with no detrimental impacts on growth performance, nutrient utilization, and meat edibility.

말쥐치 자치어의 성장에 따른 소화기관 및 trypsin, pepsine-like enzyme, lipase, amylase 활성의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 64일간 사육실험을 수행하였다. 자어는 부화 후 2~26일 rotifer Brachionus plicatilis를 급이 하였고 부화 후 10~64일에는 Artemia nauplii를 급이 하였다. 그리고 부화 후 40일부터 배합사료를 급이 하기 시작하여 사료를 서서히 전환하였다. 사육기간 동안 수온은 $21.5{\sim}24.2^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. Trypsin과 Lipase 활성은 부화 후 4일째($6.0{\pm}1.4unit$) 그리고 6일째($4.5{\pm}1.4unit$) 각각 확인되었다. 이들 두 효소의 활성은 말쥐치 자어후기와 치어초기에 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. Pepsin-like enzyme 활성은 부화 후 10일째 확인되었고 말쥐치 치어 초기 단계인 28일부터 급격히 증가하였다. Pepsin-like enzyme 활성 변화와 위선 수의 변화가 일치하는 것은 흥미로운 현상이라고 할 수 있다. Amylase 활성은 부화 후 10일째 확인되었고 부화 후 28일까지 낮은 값을 유지하였으며 부화 후 28일과 40일 사이에 급격히 증가하였다. 결과적으로 말쥐치 치어초기의 Trypsin과 Pepsin-like enzyme 활성의 급격한 증가와 위선 수의 증가에 기인하여 치어기 급격한 체성장이 일어났을 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of fiber sources on gut development and bacterial activity in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets. Eighteen crossbred (Duroc${\times}$Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire) barrows were fed a basal diet based on corn plus soybean meal or similar diets in which a portion of the corn and soybean was replaced by 5% wheat bran or 5% sugar beet pulp. The results indicate that pigs fed diets containing 5% wheat bran or 5% sugar beet pulp had lower liver weights than control pigs (p<0.01). The relative weight of the pancreas in pigs fed diets containing 5% sugar beet pulp was greater than that of control pigs or pigs fed diets containing 5% wheat bran (p<0.05). The pH of the ileal digesta of pigs fed the diet containing 5% wheat bran was higher than that of control pigs or pigs fed the diet containing 5% sugar beet pulp (p<0.05). The lipase activity in the distal jejunum, proximal, and distal ileum of pigs fed the control diet was higher than that of pigs fed the diets containing 5% wheat bran or 5% sugar beet pulp (p<0.05). The concentration of volatile fatty acids anterior to the caecum was greater for the pigs fed the diet containing 5% sugar beet pulp, while the concentration of volatile fatty acids posterior to the ileum was greater for the pigs fed the diet containing 5% wheat bran. This means that sugar beet pulp increased the bacterial fermentation precaecum, while wheat bran increased the bacterial fermentation post-ileum. The concentration of bacterial nitrogen and bacterial protein/total protein in ileal digesta of pigs fed the control diet was higher (p<0.05) than that of pigs fed the diets contained either fiber source. Bacterial protein/total protein in the feces of pigs fed the diet containing 5% sugar beet pulp was higher than that of pigs fed the control diet. This means that inclusion of 5% wheat bran or sugar beet pulp in diets influenced the development of the digestive tract of piglet. The mechanism by which dietary fiber reduced specific activity of lipase needs further consideration. Dietary fiber influenced the bacterial activity in the digestive tract of piglets, sugar beet pulp increased the fermentation in the upper gastrointestinal tract, and while wheat bran increased the fermentation in the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the common diseases with 25% of prevalence globally, but there is no thera-peutic access available. Amomum villosum var. xanthioides (Wall. ex Baker) T.L.Wu & S.J.Chen (AX), which is a medicinal herb and traditionally used for treating digestive tract disorders in Asia countries. We aimed to examine pharmacological effects of ethyl acetate fraction of AX (AXEF) against ER stress-induced NASH mice model using C57/BL6J male mice by tunicamycin (TM, 2 mg/kg) injection focusing on the oxidative stress. Mice were orally administrated AXEF (12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg), silymarin (50 mg/kg) or distilled water daily for 5 days, and outcomes for fatty liver, inflammation, and oxidative stress were measured in serum or liver tissue levels. AXEF drastically attenuated hepatic ER stress-induced NASH which were evidenced by decreases of li-pid droplet accumulations, serum liver enzymes, hepatic inflammations, and cell death signals in the hepatic tissue or serum levels. Interestingly, AXEF showed potent antioxidant effects by quenching of reactive oxidative stress and its final product of lipid peroxide in the hepatic tissue, specifically increase of metallothionein (MT). To confirm underlying actions of AXEF, we ob-served that AXEF increase MT1gene promoter activities in the physiological levels. Collectively, AXEF showed antioxidant properties on TM-induced ER stress of NASH by enhancement of MTs.
