It is well known that dichlorvos (DDVP), an organophosphate insecticide in common use, is so easily and rapidly hydrolyzed and excreted that it has usually little toxic effect on human body. In these days, however, it is widely used as an industrial and domestic insecticide and as an anthelmintic agent for animals, so that the accident of chemical poisoning occurs frequently. DDVP acts as a powerful inhibitor of carboxylic esterase, which can cause accumulation of acetylcholine at the synapses so paralysis of muscle and the transmission failure in cholinergic synapses dueing to desensitization of acetylcholin receptor may occure. Moreover accumulation of the acetylcholine brings about the elevation of the cyclic-AMP, which alters the cellular metabolisms of nucleic acid, carbohydrate, protein and lipid. Present study has undertaken to investigate the cardiotoxic effect of DDVP by electron microscopic study. A total of 30 Sprague-Dawley strain rats, weighing about 250gm were used as experimental animals. 2mg/kg/day of DDVP is intraperitonealy injected 3 times with intervals of every other day. On 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 14 days after drug administration, the animals were sacrified by cervical dislocation. Left ventricular cardiac muscles were resected and sliced into $1mm^3$. The specimens were embedded with Epon 812 and prepared by routine methods for electron microscopical observation. All preparations were stained with lead citrate and uranyl acetate and then observed with Hitachi-600 transmission electron microscope. The results were as follows: 1. In the cardiac muscle of DDVP treated rats, mitochondria with disorganized double membrane and mitochondrial crista, and vacuole formation in mitochondrial matrix were observed. But structures of mitochondria were recovered to normal in 14 days group. 2. In the cardiac muscle of DDVP treated rats, cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum were dilated and sacculated. But these changes were recovered to normal in 14 days group. 3. In the cardiac muscle of DDVP treated rats, glycogen particles around damaged myofibrils were decreased. But amount of glycogen particles were restored in 14 days group. 4. In the cardiac muscle of DDVP treated rats, disruption and discontinuation of myofilaments and disorganization of Z-disc were observed. But the structures of myofibrils were recovered to normal in 14 days group. It is consequently suggested that DDVP would induce the reversible degenerative changes on the ultrastructures in cardiac muscle of rat.

소수성 유기실리콘 그룹에 친수성 극성 그룹이 결합되어 있는 유기실리콘 계면활성제는 유기실리콘의 독특한 특성으로 인하여 낮은 계면장력, 윤활성, 퍼짐성, 발수성, 열 안정성, 화학적 안정성 때문에 폴리우레탄 폼, 건설재료, 화장품, 페인트잉크, 농약 등 많은 산업분야에 사용되고 있다. 특히 소수기로 저분자 실록산을 가지고 있는 유기실리콘 계면활성제는 낮은 표면장력과 우수한 습윤/퍼짐성 때문에 super wetter/super spreader로서 활용되고 있으나 가수분해가 되는 취약한 단점도 가지고 있다. 저분자 실록산 계면활성제의 기능향상과 단점개선 등 응용분야에서의 요구사항을 반영하기 위하여 다양한 화학구조를 가진 저분자 실록산 계면활성제들이 개발되고 있다. 본 총설에서는 반응성 테트라실록산과 다이실록산의 합성방법, 반응성 테트라실록산 또는 다이실록산을 친수성 그룹과 결합시키는 규소수소화반응 같은 주요 합성방법, 그리고 폴리에테르, 카보하이드레이트, 제미니, 볼라 타입 등 구조를 가지는 테트라실록산 계면활성제와 다이실록산 계면활성제들의 합성방법을 논의한다.

주목열매에서 분리한 과육과 씨를 95% EtOH 용액을 사용하여 각각 1.15 kg과 0.94 kg을 유리 용기에 침지하여 추출하고, 농축된 추출용액을 용매의 극성에 따라 n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate 및 수용성으로 순차 분획한 후, 동결건조하였다. 혼합물로부터 순수한 화합물을 분리하기 위하여 ethyl acetate 및 수용성 분획에 대하여 Sephadex-LH 20 칼럼크로마토그래피를 실시하였다. 단리된 화합물들의 구조는 flavan 화합물의 경우 $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR 및 EI-MS 스펙트럼을 측정하였으며, 탄수화물은 보다 정확한 구조를 결정하기 위해 COSY, HSQC와 같은 2-D NMR과 LC/MS 스펙트럼을 이용하여 구조를 결정하였다. 또한 구성당 분석을 위해 acid hydrolysis, permethylation을 실시하여 구성당의 성분과 결합위치를 확인하였다. 위의 실험을 통하여 (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), (+)-gallocatechin (3), (-)-epigallocatechin(4) 및 ${\beta}$-D-fructofuranose-($2{\rightarrow}4$)-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose($1{\rightarrow}4$)-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranose-($1{\rightarrow}2$)-O-${\beta}$-D-fructofuranose (5)의 구조를 결정하였다.

The adiponectin gene is known to be involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis involving food intake, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Human adiponectin gene polymorphisms have been recently reported to be associated with obesity, insulin sensitivity and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The present study was carried out to investigate the porcine adiponectin gene as a candidate gene for fat deposition and carcass traits. A mutation of A178G of the porcine adiponectin gene that resulted in substitution of the amino acid Isoleucine to Valine was identified. AcyI PCR-RFLP was used to detect the polymorphism of the genotypes in five different pig populations (Large White, Landrace, Duroc, Chinese breeds Meishan and Qingping). The A allele frequency was significantly higher among subjects from Chinsese lard type breeds, while the G allele was the only one present in those from Western lean type breeds. To determine if there was an association of the polymorphism with phenotypic variation, the mutation was tested in 267 pigs of the "Large $White{\times}Meishan$" F2 resource population. The results of association analyses showed significant associations of the genotypes with fat deposition and carcass traits. Allele G was significantly associated with increase in loin eye height, loin eye area and lean meat percentage and bone percentage, and decrease in fat mean percentage, ratio of lean to fat, shoulder fat thickness, 6-7 rib fat thickness, thorax-waist fat thickness and buttock fat thickness. The substitution of A178G (Ile60Val) happened to be located at amino acid 60 in the collagenous domain of porcine adiponectin which might affect the association into higher-order structures, and accordingly affect the posttranslational modifications and optimal biological activity of the multimeric forms. The identified functional polymorphism provides new evidence of adiponectin as an important candidate gene affecting fat deposition and carcass traits in pigs.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the effects of maize straw treated with calcium oxide (CaO) and various moisture, on the composition and molecular structure of the fiber, and gas production by fermentation in an in vitro rumen environment. Methods: The experiment used 4×3 Factorial treatment. Maize straws were treated with 4 concentrations of CaO (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7% of dry straw weight) and 3 moisture contents (40%, 50%, and 60%). Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy were employed to measure the surface texture, secondary molecular structure of carbohydrate, and calcium (Ca) content of the maize straw, respectively. The correlation of secondary molecular structures and fiber components of maize straw were analyzed by CORR procedure of SAS 9.2. In vitro rumen fermentation was performed for 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h to measure gas production. Results: Overall, the moisture factor had no obvious effect on the experimental results. Neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose contents decreased (p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of CaO treatment. Surface and secondary molecular structure of maize straw were affected by various CaO and moisture treatments. NDF had positive correlation (p<0.01) with Cell-H (H, height), Cell-A (A, area), CHO-2-H. Hemicellulose had positive correlation (p<0.01) with Lignin-H, Lignin-A, Cell-H, Cell-A. Ca content of maize straw increased as the concentration of CaO was increased (p<0.01). Gas production was highest in the group treated with 7% CaO. Conclusion: CaO can adhere to the surface of the maize straw, and then improve the digestibility of the maize straw in ruminants by modifying the structure of lignocellulose and facilitating the maize straw for microbial degradation.

막의 기능설계를 하기 위하여 DPPC(dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine)인 지질로 제조한 liposome과 DPPC와 DTAB(dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide)를 혼합하여 liposome을 제조하여 그 구조변화를 조사하였다. 막 구조의 변화는 CF(carboxylfluorescein)를 이용하여 DPPC의 상전이 온도($t_c=41^{\circ}C$) 이상과 이하에서 측정하여 평가하였다. DPPC liposome에 함유된 CF의 유출에 의한 형광강도는 $45^{\circ}C$에서 증가되었지만 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 그 변화는 관측되지 않았다. 동등한 조건에서 DPPC/DTAB liposome에서 CF 유출에 의한 형광강도의 변화는 DPPC liposome에 비하여 큰 것이 관측되었다. 이 결과는 DPPC/DTAB liposome이 불규칙한 배열을 하고 있다는 것을 시사한다. 한편 $Ca^{2+}$ 존재하에서 DPPC liposome과 DTAB/DPPC liposome에서 Quin 2의 형광강도는 $45^{\circ}C$에서 현저히 증가되었지만 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 그리고 형광강도의 변화는 DPPC/DTAB liposome보다 DPPC liposome 쪽이 더 크게 나타났다. 이것은 DPPC/DTAB liposome의 구조가 DPPC liposome보다 더 안정하다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 형광물질인 ANS를 이용하여 막 표면의 양상을 조사한 결과 DPPC liposome과 DPPC/DTAB liposome에서 ANS의 형광강도는 $45^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에서 다른 양상을 보였다. 이 양상은 상전이 온도의 이상과 이하에서 DPPC liposome과 DPPC/DTAB liposome의 막유동성을 의미하고 그 변화량은 DPPC liposome이 DPPC/DTAB liposome보다 더 컸다. 또한 DSC에 의해 측정된 상전이 온도는 DPPC liposome의 경우 $41^{\circ}C$이었으며 DPPC/DTAB liposome의 경우에는 $32^{\circ}C$이었다. 이상의 결과로 DPPC/DTAB liposome의 분자배열 상태가 불규칙한 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 DPPC/DTAB liposome은 불규칙하게 배열되어 있지만 안정된 구조를 갖고 있다고 생각된다.
