Powdery mildew symptoms were frequently on plants of goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus) found cultivated in the island Ulleungdo in June 2008. The symptoms appeared as powdery mycelial colonies and dark brown cleistothecia on leaves, petioles, stems and budding flowers of the plant. Incidence of the disease was as high as 50-80% in the goat's-beard fields. Specimens of the diseased plants were collected and examined for morphological characteristics of the causal fungus. On the basis of morphological characteristics of the conidial stage and the teleomorph, the fungus was identified as Podosphaera ferruginea. This is the first report of goat's-beard powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera ferruginea in Korea.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes associated with nine reproduction and morphological traits in three breed populations of Chinese goats. Methods: The genome-wide association of nine reproduction and morphological traits (litter size, nipple number, wattle, skin color, coat color, black dorsal line, beard, beard length, and hind leg hair) were analyzed in three Chinese native goat breeds (n = 336) using an Illumina Goat SNP50 Beadchip. Results: A total of 17 genome-wide or chromosome-wide significant SNPs associated with one reproduction trait (litter size) and six morphological traits (wattle, coat color, black dorsal line, beard, beard length, and hind leg hair) were identified in three Chinese native goat breeds, and the candidate genes were annotated. The significant SNPs and corresponding putative candidate genes for each trait are as follows: two SNPs located on chromosomes 6 (CSN3) and 24 (TCF4) for litter size trait; two SNPs located on chromosome 9 (KATNA1) and 1 (UBASH3A) for wattle trait; three SNPs located on chromosome 26 (SORCS3), 24 (DYM), and 20 (PDE4D) for coat color trait; two SNPs located on chromosome 18 (TCF25) and 15 (CLMP) for black dorsal line trait; four SNPs located on chromosome 8, 2 (PAX3), 5 (PIK3C2G), and 28 (PLA2G12B and OIT3) for beard trait; one SNP located on chromosome 18 (KCNG4) for beard length trait; three SNPs located on chromosome 17 (GLRB and GRIA2), 28 (PGBD5), and 4 for hind leg hair trait. In contrast, there were no SNPs identified for nipple number and skin color. Conclusion: The significant SNPs or genes identified in this study provided novel insights into the genetic mechanism underlying important reproduction and morphological traits of three local goat breeds in Southern China as well as further potential applications for breeding goats.

Ischemic stroke constitutes about 80% of all stroke incidences. It is characterized by brain cell death in a region where cerebral arteries supplying blood are occluded. Under these ischemic conditions, apoptosis is responsible for the cell death, at least in part. Goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus) is a perennial plant that grows naturally in the alpine regions of Korea. In the present study, we first determined whether water extract of goat's-beard (HY1646) and some of its fractions prepared by partitioning with organic solvents could improve the viability of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) cultured under hypoxic condition by blocking apoptotic pathways. Based on the in vitro findings, we subsequently investigated whether HY1646 and the ethyl acetate fraction (EA) selected from cell culture-based screening could attenuate brain injury in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of ischemia (2 hr), followed by 22 hours of reperfusion. The cell number was sustained close to that initially plated in the presence of HY1646 even after 24 hr of cell culture under hypoxic condition (3% $O_2$), at which time the cell number reached almost zero in the absence of HY1646. This improvement in cell viability was attributed to the delay in apoptosis, identified by the formation of DNA ladder in gel electrophoresis. Of fractions soluble in hexane, ethyl acetate (EA) and butanol, EA was chosen for the animal experiments because EA demonstrated the best cell viability at the lowest concentration (10 ${\mu}g$/mL). HY1646 (200 mg/kg) and EA (10 and 20 mg/kg) significantly reduced infarct size, an index of brain injury, by 16.6, 40.0 and 61.0%, respectively, as assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. The findings suggest that prophylactic intake of goat's beard might be beneficial for preventing ischemic stroke.

고랭지 농업은 표고가 높은 산지의 경사지에서 이루어지고 있고, 비료 및 퇴비 등의 고투입농법에 의존하고 있기 때문에 토양유실 가능성이 상당히 높고 따라서 환경에 악영향을 미칠 가능성이 크다. 이 연구는 식생을 이용한 토양 유실저감효과를 규명하기 위하여 경제성이 있는 산채작물을 재배함으로서 이들의 토양 유실 저감 정도를 평가하였다. 2005년 실험에 따르면 배추포장에 비하여 눈개승마와 참취 포장의 토양 유실량은 1/2로 저감되었으며, 유출량 또한 상대적으로 눈개승마 재배 포장과 침취 재배 포장에서 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 경사도(15%, 30%, 45%)에 따른 토양유실량은 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 15% 포장에서 눈개승마의 경우 52.50 kg, 30% 포장에서 눈개승마의 경우 108.33 kg, 45% 포장에서 눈개승마의 경우 171.50 kg로 나타났으며, 배추포장의 경우는 눈개승마 포장에 비해 2~3배 많은 토양 유실량을 보였다.

Interruption or prolonged reduction and subsequent restoration of blood flow into the kidney triggers the generation of a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to injury in the tubular epithelial cells. In this study, we determined whether methanol extract of goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus) (extract) could prevent this ischemia/reperfusion injury. When in vitro radical scavenging activity of the extract was measured using a DPPH radical quenching assay, the extract displayed slightly lower activity than ascorbic acid. One hour after administration of the extract (400 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection in rats, renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was generated by clamping the left renal artery for forty minutes, followed by 24 hr restoration of blood circulation. Prior to clamping the left renal artery, the right renal artery was removed. Compared with the vehicle-treated group, pretreatment with the extract significantly reduced the tubular epithelial cell injury by 37% in the outer medulla region, and consequently reduced serum creatinine concentration by 39%. Reduction in the cell injury was mediated by attenuation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, inhibition of caspase-3 activation from procaspase-3, and subsequent reduction in the number of apoptotic cells. Thus, goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus) might be developed as a prophylactic agent to prevent acute kidney injury.

This article is to study the ancient Korean make-up based on ancient men's and women's facial decoration. The adornment is mainly about make-up, but I didn't employ make-up in this article on the ground that it isn't an appropriate concept in men's case. The study on the ancient Korean make-up has been conducted on the basis of Goguryeo mural paintings excavated in the tombs. Contrary to the Baekje and the Silla Kingdoms, Goguryeo women's make-up carne to fashion like China. The Goguryeo mural paintings depicted women's make-up which painted their faces white and lined on the eyebrows to make them raise toward their foreheads after removing their own eyebrows. They outlined their mouths smaller than their own and, in some occasions, applied make-up differently on the upper lip and the lower lip. As the time passed by, women applied the blusher, which attests to the fact that make-up of those days was considerably developed. Unlike women, men didn't put on cosmetics but they grew beard as a symbol of adults. The beard had a diversity in shape such as goat-shaped and fan-shaped beards. It can be understood that women's make-up was applied as a manifestation of adults like men's growing beards.

삼나물 에탄올 추출물이 streptozotocin으로 유발한 쥐의 당뇨증상과 산화적 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험군은 정상군(NC), 당뇨군(DM), 당뇨유발 후 식이에 삼나물 에탄올 추출물을 0.3%를 첨가한 식이군(SA), 당뇨유발 후 식이에 삼나물 에탄올 추출물을 0.6% 첨가한 식이군(SB)으로 구분하여 5주간 사육하였다. SA군과 SB군은 NC군에는 미치지 못하였으나, 당뇨로 인해 초래되는 병리적 증상인 체중 감소, 식이섭취량 및 음용수 섭취량의 증가, 식이효율저하, 간장 및 신장 무게의 증가 현상을 개선하는 효과가 있었다. 실험식이로 5주간 사육한 당뇨쥐의 혈당은 DM군에 비하여 $17.9{\sim}27.2%$를 감소시켰으며 fructosamine의 함량은 $25.6{\sim}32.6%$를 감소시켰다. 또한, 당뇨로 인하여 증가된 alanine aminotransferase(ALT)와 aspartate aminotransferase(AST) 활성을 각각 25.6 및 30.3% 감소시켰다. SA 및 SB군은 DM군에 비하여 혈청 중성지질은 $42.37{\sim}55.51%$ 감소, total cholesterol 함량은 $26.85{\sim}30.44%$ 감소, HDL-cholesterol 함량은 $13.01{\sim}17.35%$ 증가, LDL-cholesterol 함량은 $37.29{\sim}39.11%$가 감소하였다. SA 및 SB군의 xanthine oxidoreductase의 total type, O type 및 O/T(%)은 DM군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였으며 간 조직 glutathione함량은 유의적으로 증가 lipid peroxide 함량은 유의적으로 감소시켰다. Superoxide dismutase와 glutathione S-transferase 활성도 DM군에 비하여 각각 $56.84{\sim}94.90%$ 및 $57.14{\sim}68.92%$를 증가시켰다. 이상의 실험 결과 삼나물 에탄을 추출물은 STZ로 유도한 당뇨쥐의 고혈당을 완화시킴과 동시에 ROS 생성계를 억제하고 ROS 소거계를 활성화시킴으로써 당뇨를 경감시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
