Cytochrome P450(CYP) gene is involved in the biotransformation of drugs and environmental pollutants. In this study, we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the Anguilla japonica CYP1(AjCYP1) family gene and examined the relative expression of AjCYP1A, AjCYP1B and AjCYP1C1 in response to the exposure to environmental pollutants. After exposure to B[a]P 20mg/kg bw, the expression of AjCYP1 family gene increased over time. Among four tissues examined (liver, spleen, gill and kidney), AjCYP1 family gene was expressed significantly in the kidney. Compared with the control group, AjCYP1A was expressed about 5-fold at 48 hr, AjCYP1B about 6-fold at 24 hr, and AjCYP1C1 about 4-fold at 24 hr. However, after exposure to B[a]P 200mg/kg bw, AjCYP1A did not change in all tissues. On the other hand, AjCYP1B was expressed at about 4-fold at 24 hr in the spleen and 4-fold at 48 hr in the gill. Finally AjCYP1C1 was expressed 3.7-fold and 4.3-fold in the spleen and kidneys at 48 hr, respectively. Taken together, our results suggest that the expression of AjCYP1 gene in eel tissues might be used as a useful tool to assess the exposure to environmental pollutants in aquaculture system.

Background: Buprenorphine, a new synthetic thebaine derivative, is a partial agonist of the opioid $\mu$-receptor with high receptor affinity, great lipid solubility, and slow rate of opiate receptor association and dissociation. Continuous epidural infusion of opioid can possibly produced undesirable effects, such as respiratory depression, pruritus, etc, in spite of effective postoperative analgesia. Methods: The present study was undertaken to compare the analgesic properties and side effects of continuous epidural infusion of buprenorphine combined with bupivacaine, and morphine combined with bupivacaine in 90 patients following elective gynecologic lower abdominal surgery. At the end of surgery, the initial bolus doses were 3 mg morphine (M group), 0.15 mg buprenorphine (0.15B group), 0.3 mg buprenorphine (0.3B group) combined with 0.25% bupivacaine 10ml, and subsequent continuous infusion doses were 6 mg morphine plus 0.125% bupivacine 100 ml (M group) and 0.6mg buprenorphine plus 0.125% bupivacaine 100 ml (0.15B, 0.3B, group) during 48 hours. The assessment of analgesic efficacy and side effects were made at arrival of recovery room, 1 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr, and 48 hr after the epidural injection. Results: The pain score during 48 hours was significantly higher in the 0.15B group than in the M group and 0.3B group (P<0.05), and the number of patients requiring additional analgesics was significantly higher in the 0.15B group than in the M group and 0.3B group (P<0.05). Signs of respiratory depression were not noted, and the incidence of pruritus, nausea, and vomiting was slightly lower in the 0.15B group and 0.3B group than in the M group, and the incidence of sedation and urinary retention was similar in three group. The subjective rating of satisfaction was better in the 0.3B group than in the M group and 0.15B group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The above results suggest that continuous epidural infusion of buprenorphine combined with low-dose bupivacaine is an advisable method of postoperative analgesia.

포유류 배아의 초기발생과정에서 수란관이 하는 역할을 알아보기 위하여 소의 수란관내액이 생쥐 2-세포기 배아의 체외발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대조군의 경우 5%의 배아만이 체외배양과정 중 퇴화한데 비해 5% 혹은 그 이상의 소의 수란관내액 (bOF)이 함유된 배양액 내에서 배양된 배아는 48시간이 지났을 때 모두 퇴화하였다. bOF를 65 \circ C에서 30분간 가열한 후 배양액에 첨가한 결과 bOF의 독성은 변화가 없었으나 90 \circ C에서 30분간 가열하였을때에는 독성이 거의 사라져 95% 의 배아가 정상적으로 발생하였다. bOF를 chymotrypsin으로 1시간 혹은 24시간동안 처리한 후 배양액에 첨가한 경우에도 독성이 사라져 각각 95.5%의 배아가 상실배 혹은 포배로 발생을 진행하였다. 산화방지제인 10mM 농도의 glutathione (GSH)을 bOF와 함께 배양액에 첨가한 결과 마찬가지로 bOF의 독성이 사라져 91.0%의 배아가 상실배 이상으로 발생한 반면 산화 방지능력이 없는 산화형 GSH(GSSG)를 bOF와 함께 배양액에 처리한 경우에는 bOF의 독성은 전혀 제거되지 않았다. 또한 mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, cysteamine 등의 다른 산화방지제도 GSSG와 마찬가지로 bOF의 독성을 제거하지 못하였다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로 미루어 소의 수란관내액에는 체외에 노출될 경우 독성을 나타내는 단백질 성분으로 된 물질이 있으며 이 물질의 독성은 대기 중의 산소의 산화작용에 의해 활성화되는 것으로 여겨진다.

Milling the rice with low moisture requires more energy, produces more cracked rice, and results in reducing taste of cooked rice. Accordingly, it is necessary to add moisture to the rice with low moisture to obtain optimum moisture level for milling and taste of rice. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of initial moisture content and absorption rate on rice crack, milling energy and whiteness of milled rice and to obtain the information for design of rewetting system mounted on stirring device in grain bin. The tests were conducted for the four levels of initial moisture content in the range of 11.4 to 14.5%(w.b.) and six levels of absorption rate in the range of 0.04 to 1.0%, w.b./hr. In the case of lower moisture content below 12%(w.b.), crack ratios of brown rice were remarkably high regardless of initial moisture contents. Therefore, it was found that rough rice below 12%(w.b.) in initial moisture content could not rewetted by spraying water without crack generation of low level. Absorption rate must be below 0.3%, w.b./hr to maintain crack ratio increase of less than 1% regardless of initial moisture contents. In the case of allowable crack ratio increase of 2% and 5%, it was found that the maximum absorprion rate was respectively 0.6%, w.b./hr and 1.0%, w.b./hr in the initial moisture content of above 13.5%(w.b.). Rewetting the rough rice in moisture content of 11.4 to 14.5%(w.b.) to 14.3 to 16.9%(w.b.) decreased milling energy consumption by 15.9 to 22.3%. The effect of energy saving was higher in the samples of higher initial moisture content. Whiteness of milled rice was decreased by 0.5 to 1.5.

Background: 4-Hexylresorcinol (4HR) is able to increase angiogenesis. However, its molecular mechanism in the human endothelial cells has not been clarified. Methods: As endothelial cells are important in angiogenesis, we treated the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with 4HR and investigated protein expressional changes by immunoprecipitation high-performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC) using 96 antisera. Results: Here, we found that 4HR upregulated transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/SMAD/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, RAF-B/ERK and p38 signaling, and M2 macrophage polarization pathways. 4HR also increased expression of caspases and subsequent cellular apoptosis. Mechanistically, 4HR increased TGF-β1 production and subsequent activation of SMADs/VEGFs, RAF-B/ERK and p38 signaling, and M2 macrophage polarization. Conclusion: Collectively, 4HR activates TGF-β/SMAD/VEGF signaling in endothelial cells and induced vascular regeneration and remodeling for wound healing.

We previously isolated Bacillus strains with high fibrinolytic activities (FAs) from cheonggukjang prepared by traditional ways. To test their potential as starters for cheonggukjang, soybean was fermented for 72 hr at $37^{\circ}C$ with each isolate and a control lab strain: B. subtilis CH3-25 (BS3-25), B. amyloliquefaciens CH51 (BA51), B. amyloliquefaciens CH86-1 (BA86-1), and B. subtilis 168 (BS168, control, lab strain). Viable cell numbers of all cheonggukjang samples rapidly increased and reached about $10^9$ CFU/g after 6 hr. During 72 hr, the initial pH of 6.3 rapidly increased to 8.1$\sim$8.2 for cheonggukjang fermented with BS3-25 or BA86-1, and 7.3 for those with BA51 or BS168. FAs and protease activities (acid, neutral, and alkaline) rapidly increased in cheonggukjang fermented with BS3-25, BA51, or BA86-1 during the first 12 hr. On the other hand, those of cheonggukjang fermented with BS168 slightly increased during the first 36 hr. There were significant changes in acid and neutral protease activities in cheonggukjang fermented with BA51 or BA86-1 during the 24 hr. Rapid increases of $\beta$-glucosidase activity corresponded well with rapid increases of $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-galactosidase activities in addition to increases in antioxidant activities and the TPCs (total phenolic contents). The highest increase in the TPCs was observed in cheonggukjang fermented with BA86-1 while the least was that fermented with BS168.

Ralstonia syzygii subsp. indonesiensis (Rsi, former name: Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype IV) PW1001, a causal agent of potato wilt disease, induces hypersensitive response (HR) on its non-host eggplant (Solanum melongena cv. Senryo-nigou). The disaccharide trehalose is involved in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in many organisms. We found that trehalose is required for eliciting HR on eggplant by plant pathogen Rsi PW1001. In R. solanacearum, it is known that the OtsA/OtsB pathway is the dominant trehalose synthesis pathway, and otsA and otsB encode trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) synthase and T6P phosphatase, respectively. We generated otsA and otsB mutant strains and found that these mutant strains reduced the bacterial trehalose concentration and HR induction on eggplant leaves compared to wild-type. Trehalose functions intracellularly in Rsi PW1001 because addition of exogenous trehalose did not affect the HR level and ion leakage. Requirement of trehalose in HR induction is not common in R. solanacearum species complex because mutation of otsA in Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (former name: Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype I) RS1002 did not affect HR on the leaves of its non-host tobacco and wild eggplant Solanum torvum. Further, we also found that each otsA and otsB mutant had reduced ability to grow in a medium containing NaCl and sucrose, indicating that trehalose also has an important role in osmotic stress tolerance.
