The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inhibitory effects of Resina Pini against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) that is one of the major causes of dental caries and oral diseases. Topically applied Resina Pini (RP) would be incorporated in saliva and thus the factor associated with water solubility should be considered. In this paper, therefore, effects of various treatment for RP and activities of water extracts from unprocessed and processed RP were compared. The crude RP (RP1) and the recrystallized RP (RP2) in ethanol solution showed strong antimicrobial activities (d.>15mm) against S. mutans. All RP samples exhibited considerable inhibitory effect against glucosyltransferase produced by S. mutans $(IC_{50}=91.2\;to\;276.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The very considerable increase in cellular permeability of S. mutans was observed with RP1, RP2 and their water extracts. These results suggest that RP1 and RP2 may be a potential source for pharmaceutical products used for prevention and/or treatment of dental caries and periodontal disease.

In the present study, we have evaluated cytotoxic effects, antitumor activities and metastasis inhibitory effects of Palsun brewing water in NIH 3T3 cells, human epitheloid carcinoma cells, and human skin melanoma cells. The light microscopic study showed morphological changes, AG-NOR (argyrophylic nucleolar organizer region) by silver chloride stain, and glycoprotein by PAS (periodic acid stain) reaction of the treated cells. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by colorimetric methods; MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide) and SRB (sulforhodamine B protein) assays. These results suggest that Palsun Brewing Water retains no cytotoxic effects in NIH 3T3 cells and a growth-inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines.

Berberine, a common isoquinoline alkaloid, has been shown to possess anti-cancer activities. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not completely understood. In the current study, we investigated the effects of berberine on cell growth, colony formation, cell cycle distribution, and whether it improved the anticancer efficiency of cisplatin and doxorubicin in human breast cancer estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF-7 cells and estrogen receptor negative (ER-) MDA-MB-231 cells. Notably, berberine treatment significantly inhibited cell growth and colony formation in the two cell lines, berberine in combination with cisplatin exerting synergistic growth inhibitory effects. Accompanied by decreased growth, berberine induced G1 phase arrest in MCF-7 but not MDA-MB-231 cells. To provide a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms of action of berberine, we performed genome-wide expression profiling of berberine-treated cells using cDNA microarrays. This revealed that there were 3,397 and 2,706 genes regulated by berberine in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. Fene oncology (GO) analysis identified that many of the target genes were involved in regulation of the cell cycle, cell migration, apoptosis, and drug responses. To confirm the microarray data, qPCR analysis was conducted for 10 selected genes based on previously reported associations with breast cancer and GO analysis. In conclusion, berberine exhibits inhibitory effects on breast cancer cells proliferation, which is likely mediated by alteration of gene expression profiles.

The extracts of selected plants and analyzed phenolic compounds were used to study the effects of alleloKDICicals on seed germination and seedling growth. HPLC analysis of the aqueous extracts of seven species identified 15 phenolic compounds including caffeic acid. Among them, protocatechuic acid was detected at 65.87ppm and 6.84ppm, in Erigeron canadensis and Pinus rigida, respectively. And the extract of P. rigida showed the strongest inhibitory effect on seed germination. The extract of P. rigida leaves significantly inhibited germination and radicle growth of Raphanus sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis in direct proportion to concentration. However, germination of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame was stimulated by the treated extracts at the same concentrations, but root growth was inhibited at high concentrations. Except chlorogenic acid, eleven of the twelve phenolic compounds inhibited the germination of R. sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis. In the case of C. mimosoides var. nomame, some phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid and ${\rho}-coumaric$ acid stimulated germination, while the others reduced it.

This work was designed to illustrate physiological effects on the elimination of sulfur and its compounds in petroleum using sulfur-reducing bacteria. Deulfurizing bacteria were collected from sewage and soil at several areas in Soul and Ulsan, Korea. Seven supecies of sulfur-reducing microbes isolated were identified as : Pseudomonas marginata, Ps.effusa, Ps. putrefaciens, Ps.pseudcmcnelli, Ps. xanthochlora, Ps.bowlesiae, and Ps.aeruginosa. And some experiments were performed to define the growing characteristics of the Pseudomonads and the results obtained are as follows : 1) Shaking culture method was more effective for the growth of the cells than stagnant culture. 2) Beef peptone medium was better for the growth than other media. 3) Cuprous chloride of 50 ppm and cupper sulfate of 300 ppm treated, respectively, in the medium were effective for the growth. 4) Benzene of toluene of 5,000 ppm and petroleum ether of 50,000 ppm did not show remarkable inhibitory effects on the growth.

유황처리 토양에서 재배한 열무 YR-A와 유황처리 후 복토를 덮어 재배한 열무 YR-B와 이 열무로 김치를 담근김치 A와 김치 B의 pH및 산도와 AGS 인체 위암세포의 성장억제효과에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. YR-A로 담근 열무김치 A와 YR-B로 담근 김치 B는 $4\~5$주일째에 적숙기의 pH에 도달하였으며, 이 때 산도는 $0.88\~1.20\%$의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 열무김치 A와 B는 발효가 더욱 진행되어 $6\~8$주일째가 되어도 pH는 4.0이 하로 감소하지 않고 저장성이 길어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 유황처리한 김치 A와 다시 복토를 한 김 치 B는 일반 토양에서 재배한 대조군 김치에 비해 다소 빠른 시일에 적숙기에 도달하였다. 발효초기에는 김치 A가 대조군 김치보다 높은 Leuconostoc속 젖산균 함량을 나타내었으나, Lactobacillus속 젖산균수는 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. 암세포 성장억제효과의 경우, 유황처리 열무 YR-A 즙액 과 VR-B 즙액은 일반토양에서 재배한 YR-Control 즙액에 비해 유의적으로 $70\%$의 높은 암세포 성장억제효과를 나타내었으며, YR-A와 YR-B는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 대조군 김치, 김치 A와 김치 B의 각 즙액은 첨가 농도 $10{\mu}L/assay$에서는 암세포 성장억제효과가 거의 나타나지 않았으나, 첨가 농도 $20{\mu}L/assay$에서 는 약 $74\%$의 AGS 위 암세포에 대한 성장억제효과가 있었으며 이 결과는 열무의 즙액시료 YR-A와 YR-B에서와 비슷한 효과를 나타내는 것으로 보아 열무김치의 발효과정에서는 그 효과가 거의 나타나지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. 열무김치의 메탄올추출물을 이용하여 암세포의 성장억제효과를 관찰한 결과에서도 거의 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 열무 재배시 토양에의 유황처리방법은 열무김치의 발효과정 및 적숙기에서 시원한 맛을 증가시키고 신맛을 감소시켜 유황처리로 재배한 열무김치가 맛 부분에서 다소 우수하다고 할 수 있으나, 유황처리한 열무 YR-A와 다시 복토를 한 열무 YR-B의 산도와 맛에는 별로 차이가 없었다. 또 유황처리토양에서 재배된 열무와 이 열무로 담근 김치즙액의 AGS 암세포 성장 저지효과는 거의 비슷한 수준이었으며, 유황을 첨가하여 재배한 열무의 경우 대조군에 비해 그 효과가 증진되었다. 이 결과에 의하여 유황을 첨가하여 재배한 열무의 암세포의 성장을 저지하는 활성 성분의 증가가 예상되어진다. 본 연구결과로부터 유황처리 열무의 기능성 식품재료로서의 개발가능성을 기대할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Chlorine dioxide is an effective chemical to inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses or to disinfect infected areas. In this study, the effects of chlorine dioxide on several bacteria in hospitals were analyzed. Alloiococcus otitis, Kocuria rosea, Leuconostoc mesenteroides spp. and Staphylococcus lentus as gram-positive bacteria and Acinetobacter lwoffii, Aeromonas salmonicida, Brucella melitensis, Oligella ureolytica as gram-negative bacteria were done for the inhibitory analysis. The growth and morphology of the bacteria were analyzed by placing a plastic stick which was called "FarmeTok (medistick/Puristic)" provided by Purgofarm, co, Ltd. to release ClO₂ (13 ppmv/hr) next to the plate where the bacteria were incubated for 24 hours. Less than 10 bacterial colonies were evaluated as having 99% inhibitory effect. The initial bacterial culture concentration of 0.5 McFaland turbidity was good for analyzing the chlorine dioxide inhibitory effect. All bacteria could be easily counted post 24 hr co-incubation with ClO₂, but A. otitis and A. lwoffii without ClO₂ gas were not countable due to very dispersed colony types which were not affected for result analysis. As shown in this study, the FarmeTok plastic stick, which discharges chlorine dioxide at 13 ppmv / hour, was evaluated to be sufficient to suppress the above bacteria in the hospital. Bacteria existing in the clinic such as this hospital will be used as a data to inhibit the growth of bacteria by using ClO₂, and molecular biology analysis using the gene of bacteria will be possible in the future rather than inhibiting the growth of bacteria itself.

Polyphosphate의 Candida albicans와 Trichophyton mentagrophytes에 대한 항진균 작용에 대하여 연구하였다. 평균 사슬길이가 15, 45, 75인 polyphosphate는 진균에 대하여 성장억제 효과를 나타낸 반면, pyrophosphate는 성장억제 효과가 없었다. 사슬길이가 증가함에 따라서 진균 성장억제 효과가 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었으며 $800\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서는 균주의 성장을 완전히 억제시켰다. $Mg^{2+}$나 $Ca^{2+}$의 첨가는 polyphosphate의 성장억제 효과를 감소시켰다. Polyphosphate를 처리한 C. albicans에서는 핵산물질의 유리가 관찰되었으며, 세포 swelling이나 표면돌출과 같은 세포형태 변화도 관찰되었다. 세포막 불투과성 물질인 propidium iodide는 Polyphosphate를 처리한 C. albicans의 핵을 염색하는 것이 관찰되었다. Polyphosphate의 항진균 작용은 polyphosphate가 진균 세포벽이나 세포막의 필수 양이온에 대한 chelation 효과에 의한 것으로 사려된다.

A producer of inhibitor against ${\beta}-glucosidase$ of Penicillium sp.-L4 was screened from Actinomycetes, and the isolated strain was identified as Streptomyces sp. The inhibitor produced was very stable against heat, acidic and alkaline conditions, proteolytic and amylolytic enzymes. The inhibotor was purified from culture broth through activated carbon treatment, ultrafiltration, anion and cation exchange, activated carbon columm, acetone precipitation and preparative HPLC. It showed inhibitory activities against a variety of dissacharide hydrolyzing enzymes produced by P.sp.-L4, and the mode of inhibition was competitive. Its structure and molecular formular was elucidated by IR, $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ NMR and FAB/Mass spectrometry, which was identified as 1-deoxynojirimycin (dNM). dNM showed inhibitory effects on the cell growth and hydrolytic enzyme action of P.sp.-L4 on agar plate and infected lemon peel.
