The egg development of various fishes is studied by various methods including electron microscopy(Matsuyama et al, 1991) and hormone treatment(Schoonbee et al. 1980). In addition to attempt to induce final maturation and spawning, the present experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of hCG upon reproductive cycles in catfish(Silurus asotus) with developing gonads and to stimulate the reproductive system during the rapid phase of gonadal development.

Unlike other viral polymerases, HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) has not been successfully inhibited by nucleoside analogues presumably due to its strong substrate specificity for RNA. Thus, in order to understand the RNA-specificity of HCV RdRp, the structural characteristics of the active site was investigated. The hereto unknown 2-OH binding pocket at the active site of RdRp provides invaluable implication for the development of novel anti-HCV nucleoside analogues.

Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of the freshwater crucian carp(Carassius carassius) from Kunsan in Korea, representing genetic similarity by polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA as twelve of arbitrary primers. The electrophoretic analysis of polymerase chain reaction-random amplified polymorphic DNAs(PCR-RADP) products showed the high levels of similarity between different individuals in crucian carp.

In this study, we investigated the effect of rice bran water extract fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum KCCM-12116 (RBLp) on ADP ($20{\mu}M$)-, collagen ($10{\mu}g/mL$)-, and thrombin (0.2 U/mL)-stimulated platelet aggregation. RBLp dose-dependently inhibited ADP-, collagen-, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, with $IC_{50}$ values of 501.1, 637.2, and > $2,000{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The platelet aggregation induced by ADP plus RBLp ($750{\mu}g/mL$) was increased by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor, SQ22536, and the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) inhibitor, Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. Treatment with RBLp increased the phosphorylation of VASP ($Ser^{157}$), an A-kinase substrate, which was also inhibited by SQ22536 and Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. It is thought that the RBLp-induced increases in cAMP contributed to the phosphorylation of VASP ($Ser^{157}$), which in turn resulted in an inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, thereby indicating that RBLp has an antiplatelet effect via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of VASP ($Ser^{157}$). Thus, RBLp may have therapeutic potential for the treatment (or prevention) of platelet aggregation-mediated diseases, such as thrombosis, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of sensing changes in a tumor during boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using a Monte Carlo simulation tool. In the simulation, an epi-thermal neutron source and a water phantom including boron uptake regions (BURs) were simulated. Moreover, this simulation also included a detector for positron emission tomography (PET) scanning and an adaptively-designed collimator (ADC) for PET. After the PET scanning of the water phantom, including the 511 keV source in the BUR, the ADC was positioned in the PET's gantry. Single prompt gamma rays were collected through the ADC during neutron irradiation. Then, single prompt gamma ray-based tomography images of different sized tumors were acquired by a four-step process. Both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and tumor size were analyzed from each step image. From this analysis, we identified a decreasing trend of both the SNR and signal intensity as the tumor size decreased, which was confirmed in all images. In conclusion, we confirmed the feasibility of sensing changes in a tumor during BNCT using PET and an ADC through Monte Carlo simulation.

The first case of liver infection caused by Sphingomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. in a wild rodent is reported. A captured wild rodent, Apodemus agrarius (A. agrarius), presented with multiple liver abscess-like nodules (diameter 0.7~2.4 mm) in which Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacilli were detected simultaneously. These were grown in aerobic and anaerobic cultures, respectively, and were identified as Sphingomonas sp. and Bacillus sp., respectively, according to 16S rRNA sequencing.
