우리나라는 1인 가구와 맞벌이 가구가 증가하면서 신선편이 식품의 수요가 늘어나고 있지만 신선편이 과일의 오염도에 대한 자료는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 시판되고 있는 신선편이 과일 9종에 대한 중온균, 저온균, 대장균군, 대장균, 효모와 곰팡이, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. 그리고 E. coli O157:H7의 오염도를 평가하였다. 중온균, 저온균, 효모와 곰팡이의 평균은 각각 4.51, 5.35, 4.31 log CFU/g으로 유사한 결과를 보였다. 대장균군의 평균은 2.42 log CFU/g으로 관찰되었고 대장균은 모든 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. 식중독 세균의 경우 B. cereus와 S. aureus는 각각 2.5%와 7.5%의 시료에서 검출되었으며 Salmonella spp.와 E. coli O157:H7은 모든 시료에서 불검출 되었다. 시료들 가운데 배의 오염도가 전반적으로 가장 높았으며, 배 1건은 식품공전의 B. cereus 기준 규격을 초과하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 2건의 방울토마토도 S. aureus가 검출되면서 엄격한 위생 관리가 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 평가한 대부분의 미생물들은 저온에서 증식이 억제된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으므로 신선편이 식품에 대한 소비자들의 안전한 섭취를 위해서는 철저한 저온 관리 및 위생 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Aloe-emodin (AE), an ingredient of aloe, is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory activities. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms of its inflammatory modulatory activity in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of AE using $Pam_3CSK_4$-stimulated macrophages. Methods: RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with AE (0~20 mM) for 1 h, followed by treatment with $Pam_3CSK_4$ for 1 h. After incubation, mRNA expression levels of cytokines were measured. The effect of AE on TLR2-related molecules was also investigated in $Pam_3CSK_4$-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Results: AE attenuated $Pam_3CSK_4$-stimulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Two concentrations of AE ($10{\mu}M$ and $20{\mu}M$) effectively reduced mRNA expression of TLR2 by 41.18% and 54.43%, respectively, compared to that in control cells (p < 0.05). AE also decreased nuclear factor-kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) activation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. Phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, p38, and JNK were markedly reduced by $20{\mu}M$ AE. In particular, AE decreased phosphorylation of ERK in a dose-dependent manner in $Pam_3CSK_4$-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Conclusion: Our data indicate that AE exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing TLR2-mediated activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ and MAPK signaling pathways in macrophages.

Objective: Piglet pre-weaning mortality is an important variable indicating the efficacy of farrowing management and animal well-being during lactation. The present study determined the association of newborn traits measured soon after birth with piglet pre-weaning mortality and growth. Methods: In total, 805 piglets born from 57 multiparous sows were investigated. Their blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose and rectal temperature at 24 h after birth (RT24h) were monitored. Birth order, sex, skin color, integrity of the umbilical cord, attempts to stand and birth intervention were monitored. Piglets were weighed at day 0, 7, and 21 to evaluate average daily gain (ADG). Results: Piglet pre-weaning mortality for lactation period was 12.6% and cumulative mortality during the first 7 days of age was 8.6%. A higher proportion of piglets with pale skin color died compared to piglets with normal skin color (26.7% vs 7.7%, p<0.001). A higher (p<0.001) proportion of piglets that attempted to stand after 5 min (38.5%) died compared to piglets that attempted to stand within 1 min (6.3%) after birth. Piglet body weight at birth ($BW_B$), blood glucose and the number of piglets born alive (BA) were correlated with ADG (p<0.05). Piglets with $BW_B$ <1.30 kg had higher (p<0.001) mortality rate than piglets with $BW_B{\geq}1.80 kg$ (19.0% vs 3.3%) and piglets with $BW_B$ 1.30 to 1.79 kg (4.0%). Piglet with RT24h <$37.0^{\circ}C$ had higher (p<0.001) mortality rate (86.2%) than piglets with RT24h >$38.5^{\circ}C$ (3.9%). Conclusion: Low $BW_B$ and low RT24h compromise piglet survival during the lactation period in the tropical conditions. Piglets in the litters with a high BA, low $BW_B$ and low blood glucose have reduced ADG.

The acetyltransferase inhibitor garcinol, a polyisoprenylated benzophenone, is extracted from the rind of the fruit of Garcinia indica, a plant found extensively in tropical regions. Anti-cancer activity has been suggested but there is no report on its action via inhibiting acetylation against cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis-inhibtion induced by estradiol ($E_2$) in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The main purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of the acetyltransferase inhibitor garcinol on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis inhibition in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells treated with estrogen, and to explore the significance of changes in acetylation levels in this process. We used a variety of techniques such as CCK-8 analysis of cell proliferation, FCM analysis of cell cycling and apoptosis, immunofluorescence analysis of NF-${\kappa}B$/p65 localization, and RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis of ac-H3, ac-H4, ac-p65, cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl. We found that on treatment with garcinol in MCF-7 cells, $E_2$-induced proliferation was inhibited, cell cycle progression was arrested at G0/G1 phase, and the cell apoptosis rate was increased. Expression of ac-H3, ac-H4 and NF-${\kappa}B$/ac-p65 proteins in $E_2$-treated MCF-7 cells was increased, this being inhibited by garcinol but not ac-H4.The nuclear translocation of NF-${\kappa}B$/p65 in $E_2$-treated MCF-7 cells was also inhibited, along with cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl in mRNA and protein expression levels. These results suggest that the effect of $E_2$ on promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis is linked to hyperacetylation levels of histones and nonhistone NF-${\kappa}B$/p65 in MCF-7 cells. The acetyltransferase inhibitor garcinol plays an inhibitive role in MCF-7 cell proliferation promoted by $E_2$. Mechanisms are probably associated with decreasing ac-p65 protein expression level in the NF-${\kappa}B$ pathway, thus down-regulating the expression of cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl.

Ten strains out of about 1,000 yeast strains isolated from byproducts of alcoholic industries, milk products, fruits, greens, food-related industries and soils of nature, revealed the killer activities. Two strains which have excellent killer activities among them were isolated and identified with Saccharomyces cerevisiae B 15-1 and Hansenula anomala Y 33 by investigation of the morphological, cultural and physiological properties. The optimal conditions on these strains for the production of killer toxin were investigated. The strain B 15-1 showed the highest killer toxin activities when it was cultured up to the log phase of 48 hr in YPD medium (pH 4.7) at $25^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the strain Y33 revealed the highest activities when it was cultured up to the stationary phase of 60 hr in YPD medium (pH 4.0) at $20^{\circ}C$. The sensitive strain Kyokai 7 was found to be killed entirely by the killer toxin produced from the wild killer yeast B 15-1 when B 15-1 was cocultured with the same cell concentration ($10^{6}$ cells/ml) of Kyokai 7 after cultivation of 36 hr, and with large concentration ($9\times 10^{7}$ cells/ml) after 48 hr.

The mechanism by which lead enters glial cells was examined. The uptake of lead reached saturation when assays were performed in buffers at pH 5.5 and 7.4. The Vmax and Km was 2.7 pmoles/mg protein/min and 13.4 M in the buffer at pH 7.4, respectively, whereas the Vmax and Km was 329 fmoles/mg and 8.2 M in the buffer at pH 5.5, respectively. Uptake in a buffer at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.4 was inhibited by iron. Cells treated with the iron chelator desferoxamine displayed higher levels of the divalent metal transporter mRNA and protein.
