  • Sargassum filicinum Harvey, a brown alga (Phaeophyceae) native to Northeastern Asia, has been recently reported from the coast of Southern California (USA). Here we report the occurrence and range extension of this introduced species, as we found the alga at La Jolla and Rancho Packard in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California, Mexico. The first collections of S. filicinum correspond to several immature plants, found on September 8, 2005, drifting in the intertidal zone at La Jolla. Later on November 9, 2006, we found a well-established population in Rancho Packard in the middle intertidal zone to 2 m depth. Since S. filicinum is an annual monoecious species with air bladders, the risk there is a high risk of spreading rapidly along the Pacific, as in the case for S. muticum. The population in Rancho Packard extends 500 m along the coast, consisting mainly of young plants with an average length of 30 cm and a density of 5 thallus/m2. This is the first record of this invasive species for the Mexican Pacific coast, and it represents the southern limit along the Pacific coast of North America. This finding suggests that this invasive species has successfully colonized the Pacific coast of North America and its distributional range is still expanding.

  • Early-stage lung cancer is the deadliest form of the disease. In this study, we investigated the anticancer activity of 5-bromoprotocatechualdehyde (BPCA) extracted from the seaweed Polysiphonia morrowii Harvey (P. morrowii) in lung cancer H460 cells. We extracted P. morrowii powder thrice with 80% aqueous methanol and separated the extract using high-performance liquid chromatography. We then tested BPCA's effects on cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and protein expression Our results showed that BPCA inhibited tumor cell growth and ROS production and induced apoptosis through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AKT signaling pathways in lung cancer cells. When BPCA was combined with hydrogen peroxide, ROS production and apoptosis increased even further due to the regulation of AKT signaling and JNK-MAPKs pathways. These findings suggest that BPCA induces lung-cancer-cell death through ROS-mediated phosphorylation in AKT/MAPK signaling. This could lead to the development of new and effective treatments for early-stage lung cancer.

  • Increased expression of inducible cyclo-oxygenase (COX-2) is associated with a wide variety of tumours. In addition inhibitors of COX have shown a great deal of promise in vitro and in animal models as potential anti-tumour therapies. COX enzymes utilise the substrate arachidonic acid to produce prostaglandin (PO)H$_2$, the precursor to all the prostanoids.(omitted)

  • 오늘날 급속한 과학기술의 발달과 더불어 우리들은 새로운 미디어 환경의 변화를 통해 지금까지와는 매우 다른 커뮤니케이션 양식을 목격하고 있다. Harvey(1990)의 시간과 공간의 응축(time-space compression)이란 개념을 굳이 빌리지 않더라도 현대사회의 커뮤니케이션 양식은 이전의 것들과는 전혀 다른 양상을 보이고 있다. 전통적인 4대 매체에 이어 제5의 매체로 자리잡고 있는 인터넷이라는 새로운 매체에 대한 학문적 관심이 필요한 이유는 인터넷이 기존의 매체들과는 본질적으로 다른 구별되는 속성을 지니고 있기 때문이다.

  • In this paper, we first understand the concept of imperialism as a 'a dialectical relation between territorial and capitalistic logics of power', as suggested by Harvey, and its history with three phases, the last of which would be seen as the phase of new imperialism. Secondly, we examine the New Security Strategy of the U.S which can be seen as a reflection of the new imperialism of the U.S. with its neo-conservative Bush administration, and explain the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as the implementation of the new imperialism. And then we take a close look on the current geopolitical situation of East Asia, especially North and South Korea, Japan and China, in terms of the new imperialist foreign policy of the Bush administration. Finally, we consider the limits of the new imperialism of the U.S. and globally emerging movements of anti-imperialism.

  • 신선 과일, 채소 편의식품의 주요 특징으로는 박피, 절단 등에 의한 식물조직의 손상, 최소가공에 따른 제품의 불확실한 미생물 안전성, 식물 조직의 활발한 물질대사, 제품 종류의 제한 등을 들 수 있다. 따라서 이들 제품에서는 미생물이 증식하기 쉬우나 실제 미생물의 거동은 식물조직의 대사에 의해 영향을 받으며, 또한 생체의 호흡과 필름 포장재의 기체투과도에 의해 좌우되는 포장내부 환경기체에도 영향을 받는다. 수확후 감염은 과일, 채소와같은 원료 농산물의 주요 손실요인으로(Harvey, 1978;Lund, 1983) 신선 과채류 편의식품의 경우 절단면의 노출과 포장내부의 고수분 함량 등에 의해 미생물 감염의 위험은 더욱 더 증가할 수 있다. 특히 대부분의 신선 편의식품이 어떠한 가열처리도 없이 그대로 이용되므로 식품유래 병원균의 오염과 저장중 이들의 증식은 각별한 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 현재 과채류 편의식품에 주로 사용되고 있는 미생물 오염 방지 또는 조절 방법에대해 설명하고 이의 적용과 관련한 주의사항을 살펴보고자 한다.

  • Farmed kelp gametophytes were previously observed to be living endophytically in filamentous red algae. The interactions of two farmed kelp species and six red algae were examined in laboratory culture. Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar and Laminaria religiosa Miyabe demonstrated the differing abilities of zoospores to become endophytic in four host red algae and neither kelp became endophytic in two non-filamentous red algae. There was a strong seasonal component regarding infectiousness that is associated with the changes in fron erosion in U. pinnatifida from April to June. At the same time, L. religiosa showed no significant changes in frond erosion, and there were no apparent changes in infection levels in the two species they were able infect. This study indicated clear differences between two keip species with regard to their symbiotic relationship to red algae in terms of host specificity and preference of kelp gametophytes.
