Different kinds of forces can be applied to the biological tissue. The analysis of the applied force is highly important to explain the mechanism of cellular response. In this study, the applied force to the collagen gel was analyzed by the finite elements analysis. The model received two different kinds of static force (compression and tension). The force range was 50g to 400g. In results, von Mises stress was concentrated in the peripheral region in the compression model. It was concentrated in the central area in the tension model. However, the compressive force was high in the peripheral area of the compression model and the tensional force was also high in the same area of the tension model. In conclusion, the applied force could be different to the region and it should be considered in the experiment to analyze the effects of the mechanical force on the cells.

To clarify the factors influencing the physical properties of fish after heat treatments, we investigated changes in the properties of proteins in the dorsal ordinary and dark muscle of yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) heated under different conditions commonly used for the purposes of food hygiene. High-temperature/short-time heating (85℃ for 90 s and 75℃ for 60 s) affected the protein solubility more than low-temperature/long-time heating (63℃ for 30 min). Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and differential scanning calorimetry showed that low-temperature/long-time heating reduced the degree of actin denaturation in fish compared with that by other heating conditions. In addition, collagen solubility was enhanced with low-temperature/long-time heating. Therefore, these results suggest that differences in the degree of actin and collagen denaturation are responsible for the enhanced meat tenderness and diminished meat shrinkage, resulting from low-temperature/long-time heating.

Alginate-chitosan (anion-cationic polymeric complex) was prepared to control the release rate of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD). Na-alginate (2%) solution containing AgSD was gelled in $CaCl_2$ solution. The gel beads formed were immediately encapsulated with chitosan (CS). The gel matrix and membrane were then reinforced with chondroitin-6-sulfate (Ch6S). Release rate of AgSD from the gel matrix was investigated by placing alginate beads in the sac of cellulose membrane simmered in HEPES-buffer solution. The concentration of AgSD released was analyzed by UV at 264 nm. Incorporation capacity of AgSD in Ca-alginate gel was more than 90%. Alginate-Ch6S-CS could control the release rate of AgSD. The amount of AgSD release was dependent on the AgSD loading dose. Incorporation of tripolyphosphate (polyanionic crosslinker) onto the alginate-Ch6S-CS bead increased the release rate of AgSD. Collagen-coating had no influence on the AgSD release rate. Alginate-Ch6S-CS beads with a sufficiently high AgSD encapsulation were capable of controlling the release of the drug over 10 days. In summary, alginate-Ch6S-CS beads could be used as a sustained delivery for AgSD and provide local targeting with low silver toxicity and patient discomfort.

We purified and characterized a bovine pregnancy-associated protein in pregnant cow urine using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Urine from cows was collected according to their status of pregnancy and non-pregnancy. Proteins in the cow urine were fractionated with 50% ammonium sulfate prior to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins separated on the gels were compared in terms of expression level and new expression by molecular mass and isoelectric point. We localized two pregnancy-associated protein spots on the gels at molecular masses of 24 kDa and 20 kDa and isoelectric points of 5.5 and 5.7, respectively. Likewise, two non-pregnancy specific proteins were localized at 27 kDa and 28 kDa with isoelectric points of 5.7 and 5.9, respectively. To rule out the possibility that environmental or genetic factors might influence the expression of the proteins, we demonstrated the pregnancy-associated expression of the proteins in two-dimensional gels with pregnant urine taken from cows raised in a different institute. The pregnancy-associated protein with molecular mass of 20 kDa and isoelectric point of 5.7, namely spot 2, was microsequenced and found to be highly homologous to the bovine collagen alpha 1 chain.

Angiogenic activity of Aloe vera gel was investigated by in vitro assay. We obtained the most active fraction from dichloromethane extract of Aloe vera gel by partitioning between hexane and 90% aqueous methanol. The most active fraction (F3) increased the proliferation of calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells. In addition, F3 fraction induced CPAE cells to invade type I collagen gel and form capillary-like tube through in vitro angiogenesis assay, and increased the invasion of CPAE cells into matrigel through in vitro invasion assay. Furthermore, the effect on the MRNA expression of proteolytic enzymes which are key participants in the regulation of extracellular matrix degradation was investigated by northern blot analysis. F3 fraction enhanced mRNA expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and membrane-type MMP (MT-MMP) in CPAE cells whereas the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitory (PAl-1) mRNA was not changed.

방사선조사를 이용하여 돈피유래 올리고펩타이드를 제조하고자 하였다. 생박돈피를 chopper를 이용하여 조분쇄한 후 $-20^{\circ}C$ 아세톤으로 탈지하였고, $\gamma$-ray irradiator를 이용하여 0, 20, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kGy의 총 흡수선량을 얻도록 탈지돈피에 방사선조사를 하였다. 탈지돈피의 pH는 150 kGy이상에서 소폭 증가하였고, SDS-PAGE에서 방사선조사선량이 증가할수록 분자량 24 kDa이하의 저분자 물질이 점차 증가하였고, 효소처리를 병행했을 때 $\alpha$- 및 $\beta$-나선구조의 100 kDa 및 200 kDa의 콜라겐 밴드가 소실되는 반면에 24 kDa의 밴드가 형성되고 있으며, 방사선 조사선량이 증가할수록 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel 하단에 콜라겐 분해 물질로 예상되는 저분자 물질이 축적되는 현상을 보였다. 방사선조사선량에 따른 수용성 단백질의 용해도, 점도 및 탁도를 측정한 결과 방사선조사선량이 증가할수록 용해도가 증가하고 점도 및 탁도가 감소하는 현상을 보였고, 방사선을 조사한 돈피에 papain 1%를 첨가하여 수용성 단백질을 추출한 경우 비 효소처리구에 비하여 점도가 낮아지는 현상을 보여 돈피 단백질이 papain에 일정수준 가수분해되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 300 kGy로 방사선을 조사한 돈피 가수분해물을 gel permeation chromatography한 결과 분자량 9,000, 2100, 860, 170 Da의 분획물을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과는 환경오염 문제를 최소화하고 제조공정을 단순화하여 경제성 있는 콜라겐 유래 기능성 올리고펩타이드를 제조함에 있어 방사선조사기술(RT: Radiation Technology)이 고분자물질의 저분자화에 직접 이용될 수 있는 기술로 실용화되어 환경오염을 최소화할 수 있는 대체기술로 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

성문부폐쇄부전(glottic insufficiency)를 수술적으로 치료하기 위한 노력은 여러 형태(silicone, hydrogen gel, teflon, etc.)의 성대이물주입술, 갑상성형술등 다양하게 시도되어 왔다. 그러나, 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 성문부폐쇄부전은 여전히 해결하기 어려운 문제로 남아있다. 여기에 1995년 Ford 등은 성문부폐쇄부전에 이은 음성장애치료의 새로운 접근방법으로 자가 콜라겐주입술(autologous collagen injection)을 소개하였다. (중략)

식중독 병원균인 장염비브리오균 (V. parahaemolyticus)의 세포외 분비 효소 중 콜라겐분해효소를 발현벡터인 pET-29b에 클로닝시키고 대장균에서 발현시킨 다음, 부분정제하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. V. parahaemolyticus collagenase는 $(NH_4)_2So_4$침전, affinity adsorption, 그리고 Sephacryl S-100 gel filtration 과정을 통하여 부분정제 되었다. 이 collagenase는 73%의 회수율과 43.7의 정제도를 나타내었으며, 전기영동시 분자량은 약 35 kDa로 나타났다. 이 효소의 최적 pH 및 온도는 6~12와 $35^{\circ}C$이었고, 온도안정성 조사에서 $55^{\circ}C$까지는 90% 잔존 찬성을 유지하였으나 $60^{\circ}C$이상에서는 급격하게 효소활성이 실활되었다. 기질특이성조사에서 type I collagen과 콜라겐분해효소의 합성기질로 알려진 Z-GPGGPA에서 gelatin과 casein에 비해 높은 활성을 보이는 것으로 보아 이 효소가 진정한 콜라겐분해효소라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A serine proteinase of molecular weight 60 kd was purified from culture supernatant of P. aeruginosa using DEAE-Trisacryl M ion-exchange and AcA 54 gel filtration column chromatography, and the properties of serine proteinase were characterized. By means of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight of the enzyme was 55 kd. The optimal pH for the activity of purified enzyme was 7.5. The activity of the purified enzyme was completely inhibited by Di-isopropylfluorophosphate(DFP) and N-.alpha.-p-tosyl-L-lysine choloromethyl detone(TLCK) but not by other proteinase inhibitors such as E-64, pepstatin A, 1, 10-phenanthroline. The purified enzyme was capable of degrading type I and type IV collagen. Antisera obtained from hymans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa reacted to the purified serine proteinase in immunoblots. These results indicate that the purified enzyme is trypsin-like serine proteinase and this enzyme of P. aeruginosa may play an important role in tissue damage as a spreading factor and may be useful for serodiagnosis of Pseudomonas infections.
