Water pollution in enclosed water bodies such as lake and river has become a serious problem over the world. Domestic wastewater is responsible for more than 60 % pollution load in public water area in Korea. Effluent of the treated domestic wastewater at low removal level is abundantly fed rivers and lakes and thus be an serious cause of lake pollution. Therefore, effective implement of domestic wastewater treatment in basin of lake and river must be prepared. The septic tank is one of the effective domestic wastewater treatment equipment and used in individual treatment for a unit of household, The purpose of septic tank as biological treatment system is simultaneously to remove BOD, T-N, T-P and reduce turbidity from influent. Accordingly, the appropriate control of functional microorganisms is important subject for the establishment of stability and economy of the biological treatment method. Especially, microanimals as a high-ranked microorganisms of food-chain are important, because microanimals control the other microorganisms especially various bacteria and effect on function of treatment. Therefore, it is necessary that functional predator like rotifers are attached in wastewater treatment process. In this study, the methods for attachment high density the rotifer to and improvement of transparency in the effluence by a dense rotifer was examined using laboratory scale biological treatment reactor simulated septic tank and real one.

The growth inhibition of Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33291 in the presence of $1\%$ acetic acid at 4, 25, and $42^{\circ}C$, followed by $25^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$, at pH 5.5 and pH 6.5, and by the addition of $1\%$ acetic acid aat 4, 25, and $42^{\circ}C$ were determined to be 22, 8.5, and 1.4 min, respectively, in an FBP-SBB medium. The D values of C. jejuni were increased by the addition of chicken and did not follow the linear relationship observed in the FBP-SBB media without chicken. When using distilled water instead of FBP-SBB in the model system, the death rate of C. jejuni was dramatically accelerated. The injured or low cell numbers that were impossible to enumerate using the plate count method, were detected by a polymerase chain reaction and enrichment culture procedure. These results suggested that acetic acid is reliable and effective as a disinfectant, however, it is necessary to take additional care at refrigeration temperatures due to the potential of injred cells during poultry processing.

Nanomaterial have grown from scientific interest to commercial products and the nanomaterial market has grown 19.1 % each year. As the nanomaterial market size increases, it is expected that nanomaterial production will increase and its contamination of outdoor environmental system will also increase in the form of industrial waste. Since most of nanomaterials are known as biologically non-degradable materials, nanomaterials will accumulate in the environment, and this will increase the potential threats to human health along the food chain. Recent studies have investigated the toxicity effect of nanomaterials due to their size, chemical composition and shape. For the development of nanomaterial while taking human health into consideration, a nanomaterial detecting sensor is required. In this paper, we have observed the trend of nanomaterial detecting sensor of mechanical, electrochemical, optical and kelvin probe force microscopy sensors and we believe that this trend will shed the light on the development of real-life nanomaterial detecting sensors.

가치가 상승하는 와인에 투자하는 것은 바람직하지만 우리나라에서는 와인 투자 자체가 생소하다. 또한, 와인시장에서의 가격책정은 소수에 의해 이루어지기 때문에 과정 자체가 비합리적이고, 정보가 위조되는 경우가 흔하다. 그러나 올바른 해결책만 있다면 와인시장은 오래 투자할수록 높은 수익을 기대할 수 있다는 점에서 바람직한 투자처가 될 수 있다. 또한, 국내 와인수입량의 꾸준한 증가추세를 통한 국내 와인 소비시장의 확대 또한 기대된다. 본 연구는 앞서 말한 우리나라의 와인 투자 시장의 '올바른 해결책'으로 와인시장 활성화 및 투명성 제고를 위한 컨소시엄 블록체인 프레임워크를 제시한다. 블록체인 거버넌스는 바람직한 의사결정권과 책임성을 보장하기 때문에 와인시장의 단점을 보완해줄 수 있다. 블록체인에 저장된 데이터는 소비자가 모두 확인할 수 있기 때문에 위조와인의 등장 가능성을 낮추고 불합리적으로 가격이 책정되는 과정을 보완한다. 또한 자산의 디지털화로 낮은 현금유동성을 해결하며 스마트 컨트랙트를 통해 공급망 전반의 비용과 시간을 절약하게 되어 와인투자의 진입장벽이 낮아진다. 특히 컨소시엄 블록체인을 통해 블록체인의 거버넌스를 '샤또-유통업자-투자자'로 구성한다면 바람직한 와인 시장을 형성할 수 있다. 생산과정을 블록체인에 저장하여 생산비용을 확보하고 합리적인 출시가를 정하며 유통과정을 블록체인에 저장하여 물류시스템을 효율적으로 운영하고 선물거래 주문량을 예측한다. 마지막으로 투자자들은 이 모든 데이터를 열람함으로써 합리적인 의사결정을 한다. 이는 와인경매시장에 있어서 주요 이해관계자들간의 지식공유체제로서 작동할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 해당 연구에서는 소유권을 주식처럼 다룰 수 있다는 점에서 대체투자의 새로운 관점을 제시했다. 또한 정보의 투명성을 제고시킬 방안으로써 와인 소유 매매 프레임워크를 제시하였고 식품 수입절차의 간소화와 와인 업계 내 신뢰 형성을 가능하게 했다. 해당 프레임워크를 통해 와인 관련 정보들을 투명하게 기록함으로써 활발한 와인투자가 이루어질 수 있을 것이며 이는 지식경영 측면에서 큰 의의를 가진다. 향후 연구에서는 해당 프레임워크를 확장해 적용할 분야를 연구하고자 한다.

The emergence and persistence of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in livestock animals have been reported as a potential risk factor for transmission to humans. In this study, we investigated the nationwide prevalence and characteristics of MRSA and MSSA in the Korean beef production system, including retail markets, slaughterhouses, and cattle farms. From a total of 1,285 samples, only 5 MRSA strains were isolated: from a farmer (1 ST72 MRSA), a carcass sample from a slaughterhouse (1 ST72 MRSA), and beef cattle (3 ST5 MRSA). In addition, 11 MSSA strains were isolated from beef cattle (n=3), humans (1 farmer, 1 slaughterhouse worker, and 4 retail market workers), and carcass samples (n=1) and slaughterhouse environment (n=1). Although the prevalence of MRSA and MSSA in beef cattle was much lower than that reported in pigs, 5/5 MRSA and 2/11 MSSA strains displayed multiple drug resistance (MDR) phenotypes. Unlike the swine-associated MRSA, no correlation was found between tetracycline/zinc resistance and MDR phenotype. However, MRSA strains had an identical set of staphylococcal enterotoxins and exhibited enhanced levels of resistance to antimicrobial peptides (PMAP-36 and LL-37) compared to the MSSA strains. In conclusion, continued and systemic surveillance of livestock, meat products, and humans in close contact with livestock/meat products is necessary to prevent the transmission of MRSA and MSSA to humans.

Corydalis Tuber has traditionally been used for the treatment of water retention in the body. Administration of the aqueous extract of Corydalis Tuber has been known to be effective for the control of pain and treatment of arthritis. It was reported that Corydalis Tuber possesses anti-inflammatory activity and modulates the intestinal immune system. The effect of Corydalis Tuber against LPS-stimulated expressions of COX-2, iNOS, and $IL-1{\beta}$ in cells of the murine RAW 264.7 macrophages was investigated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), $PGE_2$ immunoassay, and NO detection. The aqueous extract of Corydalis Tuber was shown to suppress $PGE_2$ production by inhibition on the LPS-stimulated enhancement of COX-2 enzyme activity, $IL-1{\beta}$, and iNOS expression in the RAW 264.7 macrophages. Present results suggest that Corydalis Tuber exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects probably by suppressing of COX-2, iNOS, and $IL-1{\beta}$ expressions, resulting in inhibition of $PGE_2$ synthesis. Corydalis Tuber has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects probably by suppressing of COX-2, iNOS, and $IL-1{\beta}$ mRNA expressions, resulting in inhibition of $PGE_2$ and NO synthesis.

Dietary fiber is defined as soluble and insoluble polysaccharide consisted in the plant cell wall-associated fibers naturally occurring in fruits, vegetables, and cereal products, and of isolated fibers that are added to processed foods which are also artificially modified. There are so many difference types of dietary fibers as arabinoxylan, polydextrose chicory, oligosccharide. inulin, pectin, bran, cellulose, ${\beta}$-glucan, resistant starch and some seaweed polymers as alginate. Most of them provide many biological benefits in the intestine, as lower risk for developing coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and some of the gastrointestinal disease like as colon cancer. And also lowering cholesterol levels, improves glycemic and insulin sensitivity to non-diabetic and diabetic persons including immune system. Beside of many benefits, average consumers in developed and under developing countries take far less amounts of dietary fiber that international organization recommended. Adequate intake of dietary fiber is 14g/1,000kcal base using the energy guide line of 2,000kcal/day for women and 26,000 kcal/day for men, dietary intake is 28g/day of adult women and 36g/day for adult men. The mechanisms behind the reported effects of dietary fiber on metabolic health are not fully well established. It is suggested that changes in intestinal viscosity resulting mucus increasing, macro-nutrients absorption, rate of passage of large intestinal, production of short chain fatty acids by fermentation. Production of gut hormones and changes of microbiota in intestine. It is necessary to do more research in this field in the future and combined interdisciplinary works together.

Compared to infant formula, breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants; it not only improves the neonatal intestinal function, but also regulates the immune system and gut microbiota composition. However, probiotic-fortified infant formula may further enhance the infant gut environment by overcoming the limitations of traditional infant formula. We investigated the probiotic formula administration for one month by comparing 118 Korean infants into the following three groups: infants in each group fed with breast milk (50), probiotic formula (35), or placebo formula-fed group (33). Probiotic formula improved stool consistency and defecation frequency compared to placebo formula-fed group. The probiotic formula helped maintaining the level of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), which had remarkably decreased over time in placebo formula-fed infants (compared to weeks 0 and 4). Moreover, probiotic formula decreased the acidity of stool and considerably increased the butyrate concentration. Furthermore, the fecal microbiota of each group was evaluated at weeks 0 and 4. The microbial composition was distinct between each groups, and the abundance of health-promoting bacteria increased in the probiotic formula compared to the placebo formula-fed group. In summary, supplementation of probiotic infant formula can help optimize the infant gut environment, microbial composition, and metabolic activity of the microbiota, mimicking those of breast milk.

Branched-chain 아미노산이인 leucine이 골격근육의 단백질 합성을 촉진하는 요소로 보고되어 왔다. 이러한 역할은 다른 아미노산도 나타낼 수 없는 특이한 것이나 생체로부터 분리된 근육(isolated muscle system)에서 라는 제한된 실험조건하에 얻어진 결과에 바탕하므로, 본 연구는 생체내에서 leucine이 단백질의 생합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 시도되었다. 실험동물은 정상으로 먹이를 먹인 또는 하루 굶게된 주로 leucine군과 비교군으로 나누었다. Leucine군은 80 또는 $160\mu\textrm{moles}$의 leucine을 복강으로 한번 주사하여 주입받았고 비교군에는 생리적 식염수를 같은 방법으로 주입했다. 단백질 합성속도는 $^{14}\textrm{C}-tyrosine을 주사한 후 근육의 단백질에 혼입된 $^{14}\textrm{C}의 량으로 측정하였다. 본 연구에 이용된 근육은 두가지 형태의 뒷다리 근육 즉 oxidative형 soleus와 glycolytic형 extensor digitorium longus(EDL)와 plataris근육이었다. 만 하루 굶게된 뒤의 EDL과 plantaris 근육은 $160\mu\textrm{moles}$의 leucine에 의해 단백질 합성 속도가 24%, 29% 씩 각각 상승했다. 하루 굶게된 쥐의 soleus근육과 정상으로 먹인 쥐의 어느 근육도 첨가된 leucine에 대해 반응을 보이지 않았다. Leucine에 의해 단백질 합성 속도가 상승된 근육은 굶게되므로 합성속도가 정상군의 54%로 떨어졌고 soleus근육은 정상군의 78%에 상당한 단백질 합성 능력을 가지고 있었다. 따라서 생체로부터 분리된 근육에서 동물의 영양상태나 홀몬 분비의 정상여부에 관계없이 leucin이 단백질 생합성 속도를 상승시키는 현상은 생체내에서 재현되지 않았다. 본 연구결과는 식이 제한등으로 인한 스트레스에 민감하게 반응하여 근육내 생성 활동이 저하된 특수한 상태에서만 leucine은 골격근육의 질소 보유능력을 상승시키리라는 것을 시사한다.
