We examined the combined impacts of future increases of $CO_2$ and temperature on the growth of four marine diatoms (Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros debilis, Chaetoceros didymus, Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii). The four strains were incubated under four different conditions: present ($pCO_2$: 400ppm, temperature: $20^{\circ}C$), acidification ($pCO_2$: 1000ppm, temperature: $20^{\circ}C$), global warming ($pCO_2$: 400ppm, temperature: $25^{\circ}C$), and greenhouse ($pCO_2$: 1000ppm, temperature: $25^{\circ}C$) conditions. Under the condition of higher temperatures, growth of S. costatum was suppressed, while C. debilis showed enhanced growth. Both C. didymus and T. nodenskioldii showed similar growth rates under current and elevated temperature. None of the four species appeared affected in their cell growth by elevated $CO_2$ concentrations. Chetoceros spp. showed increase of pH per unit fluorescence under elevated $CO_2$ concentrations, but no difference in pH from that under current conditions was observed for either S. costatum or T. nodenskioeldii, implying that Chetoceros spp. can take up more $CO_2$ per cell than the other two diatoms. Our results of cell growth and pH change per unit fluorescence suggest that both C. debilis and C. didymus are better adapted to future oceanic conditions of rising water temperature and $CO_2$ than are S. costatum and T. nodenskioeldii.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a microaerophilic spiral bacterium and infection by it in the human stomach causes gastritis, furthermore, it is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcers and the development of gastric carcinoma. We assessed the inhibitory activity of new antiulcer drugs against Helicobacter pylori. The activities of new antiulcer agents against Helicobacter pylori strains were determined by the standard agar dilution method with blood agar base #2, supplemented with 5% sheep blood and 4 antibiotics to support growth of these organisms. They were inoculated by multipoint inoculator and incubated at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 3 days under microaerophilic atmosphere. The MIC of antiulcer agents was the lowest concentration that inhibited visible growth of these organisms. According to results of various biochemical tests, these bacteria were identified as Helicobacter pylori strains. And the MIC results showed that the strains were very susceptible to omeprazole and YJA20379s. Some of YJA20379s were more potent than omeprazole. These results suggest that our new antiulcer drugs have potent inhibitory activity against Helicobacter pylori, so that our new antiulcer drugs might be useful for the clinical eradication of gastrointestinal Helicobacter pylori.

To investigate the intestinal absorption of a fibrinolytic and proteolytic lumbrokinase extracted from Eisenia andrei, we used rat everted gut sacs and an in situ closed-loop recirculation method. We extracted lumbrokinase from Eisenia andrei, and then raised polyclonal antibody against lumbrokinase. Fibrinolytic activity and proteolytic activity in the serosal side of rat everted gut sacs incubated with lumbrokinase showed dose- and time-dependent patterns. Immunological results obtained by western blotting serosal side solution using rat everted gut sacs method showed that lumbrokinase proteins between 33.6 and 54.7 kDa are absorbed mostly by the intestinal epithelium. Furthermore, MALDI- TOF mass spectrometric analysis of plasma fractions obtained by in situ recirculation method confirmed that lumbrokinase F1 is absorbed into blood. These results support the notion that lumbrokinase can be absorbed from mucosal lumen into blood by oral administration.

The development of isolated blastomeres from mammalian preimplantation embryos has been basically studied for the multiplication of embryos from superior animals. Therefore, this study was investigated the effect of co-culture with mouse fetal fibroblast cells(MFFC) on in vitro development of blastomeres from mouse preimplantation embryos. Mature female ICR mice were treated with hormone to induce superovulation and embryos were collected at each 2, 4, and 8-cell stage. Then, after removing zona pellucida with protease, blastomeres were isolated by micropipetting, or reconstituted with different stage blastomere, and incubated for 72 hrs either in T6 or TCM199 or on the monolayer of MFFC, which was prepared with fibroblast cells from 14∼14 day mouse fetus. After incubation, we examined their development rates every day and the nuclei numbers of each blastocyst by Hoechst-33342 staining. In the development rates of blastomeres, there were no significant differences between media but the higher rateswere found in the monolayer of MFFC, regardless of reconsititution. In addition, blastomeres cultured with MFFC had slightly greater number of nuclei than those cultured in single media. Generally, the higher development rates of blastomeres were found from earlier stage embryos than the later ones, regardless of culture conditions. Reconsitituted blastomeres had more nuclei but did not show the higher development rates, compared to the single blastomeres. Taken together, our results suggest that co-culture with MFFC have a beneficial effect on the in vitro development of blastomeres from mouse embryos.

The rate of evolution of ethylent by tomato plants was rapidly increased by ozone fumigation. In the present study, the mechanism of ethylent evolution by ozone was investigated in experiments with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and tiron, which inhibit the formation of ethylene and peroxidation of lipids, respectively. Pretreatment with AVG significantly inhibited the ozone-induced ethylent evolution, but the treatment of plants with tiron did not inhibit. These results indicate that the induction of the evolution of ethylene by ozone involves the pathway via aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC), while not released as a result of the peroxidation of lipids. Ozone-induced ethylent evolution was greater in dar- than light-incubated, intact tomato plants. The difference between dark- and light-ethylene evolution was examined with diuron, an inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport. The inhibitor treatment promoted ethylent evolution. These results suggest that ethylent retention and metabolism in plants were regulated by internal $CO_2$ levels which, in turn, were controlled in large part by photosynthesis. Thus, ethylene was retained in illuminated leaf tissue under low intenal $CO_2$ concentration which may develop in a sealed container without exogenously supplied $CO_2$.

Bifidobacteria의 고농도 배양을 위한 배양액내 완충제로써 $CaCO_3$ 비드를 효율적으로 이용하기 위하여 유기산에 대한 비드의 반응특성과 유기산과 반응한 비드의 재사용 방안을 수학적 모델을 적용하여 검토하였다. 각각 다른 크기의 $CaCO_3$ 비드를 0.1 M의 혼합 유기산 용액과 Bifidobacterium longum ATCC 15707이 접종된 배양액에 각각 첨가하여 반응시킨 후, 비드 표면으로부터 감소한 $CaCO_3$ 양을 수학적 모델에 의하여 산출한 비드의 직경값과 micrometer를 이용하여 반응한 비드의 직경을 직접 측정한 값을 비교한 결과 서로 일치하였다. 그러므로, 수학적 모델이 유기산과 반응하는 $CaCO_3$ 비드의 반응특성을 설명하는데 유용하게 이용되어 질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 각각 다른 크기의 $CaCO_3$ 비드를 완충제로 사용한 배양액에 Bifidobacterium longum을 접종하여 $37^{\circ}C$로 20시간 배양한 후, $CaCO_3$ 비드의 완충효과와 직경의 변화 및 Bifidobacterium longum에 대한 증식도를 측정한 결과 비드의 직경이 작을수록 더높은 완충효과와 균증식도를 나타내었으며, 또한 비드의 직경이 크게 감소하였다. 균배양액으로부터 회수한 비드의 직경을 조사하여 반응된 비드의 전체표면적을 산출한 후 초기 사용한 비드의 전체표면적과 같도록 새로운 비드를 첨가하여 bifidobacteria를 배양한 결과 초기 사용한 비드의 완충효과와 유사한 결과를 나타내었으며, 또한 배양액내 균증식도도 같은 수준으로 증식되었음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 bifidobacteria 배양에 완충제로 이용된 비드를 균배양에 완충제로 재차 이용할 경우 비드가 일정한 크기를 갖고, 감소한 표면적과 같은 양의 새로운 비드를 첨가한다면 사용된 비드의 재활용 가능성도 있다고 사료되었다.

Metabolism of DWP401, recombinant juman epidermal growth factor, was examined in vivo and in vitro in rats. When $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 was administered at a dose of 50 ${\mu}g$/kg by i.v. injection. $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 was rapidly degraded within 30 minytes above 93%. Thin layer chromatography analysis of urine collected for 24 hr after i.v. administration of $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 showed ohly one spot on a X-ray film which was considered as diiodo-tyrosine. This result suggests tha $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 was completely digested into free amino acids without any specific intermediate polypeptides. About 42.1% of the administered iodine was recovered in 24 hr. For in vitro degradation study, $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 was added to plama and tissue homogenates of rats and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$. Almost 98% of the added radioactivity recovered from the protein fraction of the liver, kidey, small intestine, stomach and spleen decreased rapidly. For examplem the recovery rates of $^{125}I$-labeled DWP401 were 58.6, 63.2, 39.9, 52.9 and 66.8% after 4hrs of incubation in respective organ homogenates.

The aim of this study was to compare the two culture systems 1) co-culture with cumulus cells and 2) chemically defined medium supplemented with amino acids (CR1aa) and fetal calf serum (FCS) of in vitro produced bovine embryos from follicular oocytes in vitro. Bovine follicular oocytes were collected from ovaries of slaughtered cows and matured in TCM199 supplemented with 10% FCS and hormones (1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH-P and 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml oestradiol-17$\beta$)24 hours at 39$^{\circ}C$ under 5% CO2 in air. The capacitation of spermatozoa from ejaculated or frozen bull semen was induced by centrifugation through Percoll density gradient (45%, 90%). Then capacitated spermatozoa (1$\times$106/ml) were inseminated into 50${mu}ell$ droplet containing matured follicular oocytes and incubated for 40~42 hours. Cleaved embryos of 2~4cell stage were transferred to the co-culture with cumulus cells and/or CR1aa medium supplemented with FCS. In semen source, the developmental rates to the blastocyst and the hatched blastocyst stages were higher in ejaculated semen(27.6% and 14.9%) than those of frozen-thawed semen(18.3% and 11.8%), respectively. In two culture systems, the proportions of embryonic development upto the blastocysts and the hatched blastocysts were higher of CR1aa medium (22.1% and 12.1%) than those of cumulus cell co-culture (16.8% and 5.1%), respectively. The number of cells in exapnded blastocysts was slightly higher in cumulus cells co-culture (122.6$\pm$8.5) than that in CR1aa medium (117.9$\pm$5.9). The present results indicated that the early development of in vitro produced bovine embryos can be maintained efficiently in CR1aa medium as well as in co-culture with cumulus cells.

논 생태계를 모의하여 토양에 투입된 비료의 종류(AS, PMC, HV)와 토양 수분 변동조건(습윤기간, 전이기간, 건조 기간)으로 구분하여 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 플럭스를 조사하였다. $CH_4$ 플럭스는 0~13.8 mg $CH_4$/m/day의 범위에서 변화하였으 며, 시기적으로 습윤기간 초기와 전이기간과 건조기간 경계 시점에서 높은 값을 보였다. $CO_2$ 플럭스는 습윤 초기에 최대 치를 보이고 지속적으로 감소하다가 전이기간에 다시 상승하 였다. 최종토양의 탄소함량 변화는 대조구에서-5.4%이었고, 비료 처리구에서는-7.5~-16.4%이었다. HV 시용은 타 비종 에 비해 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 플럭스를 증가시켰는데, 이는 녹비작물 이 가축분 퇴비에 비해 상대적으로 이분해성으로 배양 초기 에 유기물 분해에 의해 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 발생량이 높았기 때문이 다. AS나 PMC 처리구에서 $CH_4$ 플럭스가 대조구에 비해 낮았는데, 이는 AS의 ${SO_4}^{2-}$와 퇴비에 함유된 산화형 물질($Fe^{3+}$, $Mn^{4+}$, ${NO_3}^-$)과 같은 전자 수용체에 의해 습윤기간 중 이들 물질이 전자수용체로 활용되어 $CH_4$ 생성이 감소할 수 있음 을 의미한다. PMC와 HV의 탄소 손실률을 비교하면, HV와 같은 이분해성 유기물에 비해 PMC와 같은 난분해성 유기물 의 시용이 토양 탄소량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구는 HV와 같은 녹비 작물이 질소 공급의 측면에서 화 학비료를 대체할 수 있지만, 화학비료 시용에 비해 $CH_4$ 발생 이 증가할 수 있음을 제시한다. 따라서, 이분해성 유기물(녹비 작물)과 난분해성 유기물(가축분퇴비)을 혼합 시용할 경우 양 분공급과 탄소저장량 증대에 모두 유리할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and granulosa cells monolayer on nuclear maturation and cleavage rates of ovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). The COCs (n = 2814) were matured in maturation medium supplemented with various concentration of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (0, 5, 10, $15{\mu}g/ml$), oocytes were incubated at $39^{\circ}C$ with 5 % $CO_2$ for 24 h in three culture systems: (a) maturation medium (MM; n = 884), (b) co-cultured with granulosa cells (CG; n = 982) and (c) co-cultured with granulosa cells and cells were further cultured in MM for 12 h (CG + 12hMM; n = 948). Our results showed that ${\alpha}$-tocopherol had no effect on GVBD and MII as compared to control group, but when ${\alpha}$-tocopherol added to maturation medium the rate of cleavage decreased. This indicates interaction of above mentioned factors in any of the treatments showed no significant differences on the rate of maturation and cleavage stages (MII, GVBD and cleavage) (p > 0.05). The oocytes co-cultured with granulosa cells for 24 h had beneficial effects on cleavage rate. The maximum MII and cleavage rates were achieved when oocytes had extra 12 h culture in the maturation medium without granulosa cells. Results also showed our modified co-culture system (CG + 12hMM), improved rates of MII and the cleavage in comparison with other studied maturation systems.
