The maturation process of mammalian oocytes accompanies an extensive rearrangement of the cytoskeleton and associated proteins. As this process requires a delicate interplay between the cytoskeleton and its regulators, it is often targeted by various external and internal adversaries that affect the congression and/or segregation of chromosomes. Asymmetric cell division in oocytes also requires specific regulators of the cytoskeleton, including formin-2 and small GTPases. Recent literature providing clues regarding how actin filaments and microtubules interact during spindle migration in mouse oocytes are highlighted in this review.

In the work, a new computerized incremental forming method having high flexibility has been developed. In the mothod, the ordinary tools are replaced by various small tools, and only the small local region of a sheet blank is incrementally by movement of these tools. Since a small tool moves over the arbitrary surface ofthe dies using a NC machine, it is possible to produce three-dimensional and non-symmetric parts directly from CAD data. Arbitrarily shaped dies are made by LOM(Laminated Object Manufacturing), which is one of the Rapid Prototyping Methods. A forming machine is designed and developed by introducing a computer to control the movement of the tools.

Salicornia herbacea L. (Chenopodiaceae) has been used as a seasoned vegetable by living in coastal areas. S. herbacea (SH) has been demonstrated to stimulate cytokine production, nitric oxide release, and to show anti-oxidative effect. In a series of investigations to develop potential anti-diabetic and/or anti-hyperlipidemic agents from Korean indigenous plants, 50% ethanol extract of Salicornia herbacea was found to prevent the onset of the hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia induced by high fat diet in ICR mice. At 6 week old, the ICR mice were randomly divided into five groups; two control and three treatment groups. The control mice were to receive either a regular diet (RD) or high-fat diet (HFD), and the treatment groups were fed a high fat diet with either 350 mg/kg, 700 mg/kg of SH (SH350 and SH700) or 250 mg/kg of met-formin (MT250) for a 10-week period. SH not only reduced body weight but also corrected associated hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in a dose dependent manner. SH exerted beneficial effects on the plasma glucose and lipid homeostasis possibly ascribed to its specific effects on lipogenesis related genes (SREBP1a, FAS, GAPT), and PEPCK, glucose 6-phosphatase gene expressions in liver. Ethanol extract of S. herbacea has potential as a preventive agent for type 2 diabetes (and possibly hyperlipidemia) and deserves future clinical trial.

종래의 말포민류에 대한 화학구조 연구에 있어서의 난제들이 최신의 각종 기기분석 및 새로운 정제 방법의 적용에 의해 해결되어졌으며, 이 결과 말포민 A로부터 신규의 $A_4$를 포함한 4종의 A동족체들이 단리 구조결정되었다. 본 연구에 의해 말포민 A동족체의 화학 구조는, $A_1$(1)이 cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-Ile, $A_2$(2)가 cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-Val, $A_3$(3)가 cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-Leu, $A_4$(4)가 cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Ile-L-Val으로서 확정 되었다. 이들 중, 말포민 $A_3$(3)는 말포민 C와 동일한 화합물로 확인되었다. 단리된 말포민 A동족체에 대해서 옥수수 근 부굴곡활성과 녹두 상배축신장활성을 지표로 하여 생물검정을 실시하였다. 옥수수 근부굴곡 활성의 검정으로부터, 모든 A동족체가 활성을 나타내었으며, 특히 분자량 529의 동족체는 분자량 515의 동족체보다 높은 활성을 보여주었다. 그러나, 녹두 상배축신장활성의 검정에서는 분자량에 따른 차이가 인정되지 않았으며, 이들 중 말포민 $A_4$는 활성형이 아닌 것으로 확인되었다. 양검정법에서 모두 최고 수준의 활성을 나타낸 말포민 $A_1$은, $0.25{\mu}m$ 에서 83%의 옥수수 근부굴곡활성을 나타냈으며, 녹두 상배축신장활성의 경우, $0.1{\mu}m$에서 대조구에 비해 165%의 신장촉진을 보였다.
