This study aimed to discover functional materials derived from resources, which can improve the troublesome symptoms of a bronchus by improving bronchial hyperresponsiveness as air pollution in Korea caused by fine dust and yellow dust is getting worse. Of natural resources grown naturally in Korea, Chrysanthemum morifolium(CM), and Scutellaria baicalensis(SB) have been used as a safe raw material for drinking or medicine for a long time, and it has been found that a combination of CS73 can improve bronchial health function in experimental animal models. Analysis of serum of animal models with asthma induced by ovalbumin (chicken egg albumin) and analysis of cytokine production in BALF (Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) showed that inflammatory indices IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17E were significantly reduced and that respective production of IL-2 and IFN-γ was significantly increased in the group taking extracts from CS73 when compared with the control group. These results suggested that the combination of CS73 could be used as a natural treatment for asthma. In addition, in the animal models that the combination of CS73 significantly decreased the respective production of IgE, histamine and TSLP when compared with the control group. In experimental models, the ratio of Chrysanthemum morifolium to Scutellaria baicalensis of 7 : 3 had more excellent effect than other combined experimental groups, which suggests that the above combination can be developed as a natural treatment for asthma and is valuable as a pharmaceutical composition with an effect of improving bronchial health, capable of contributing to the public health threatened by fine dust.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), caused by the PPR virus (PPRV), is an acute and fatal contagious disease that mainly infects goats, sheep, and other artiodactyls. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are considered the primary innate immune cells. Objectives: PBMCs derived from goats were infected with PPRV and analyzed to detect the relationship between PPRV replication and apoptosis or the inflammatory response. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to identify PPRV replication and cytokines expression. Flow cytometry was conducted to detect apoptosis and the differentiation of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells after PPRV infection. Results: PPRV stimulated the differentiation of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. In addition, PPRV induced apoptosis in goat PBMCs. Furthermore, apoptosis and the inflammatory response induced by PPRV could be suppressed by Z-VAD-FMK and Z-YVAD-FMK, respectively. Moreover, the virus titer of PPRV was attenuated by inhibiting caspase-1-dependent apoptosis and inflammation. Conclusions: This study showed that apoptosis and the inflammatory response play an essential role in PPR viral replication in vitro, providing a new mechanism related to the cell host response.

Health-promoting preparations of inanimate microorganisms or their components are postbiotics. Since probiotics are sensitive to heat and oxygen, postbiotics are stable during industrial processing and storage. Postbiotics boost poultry growth, feed efficiency, intestinal pathogen reduction, and health, making them acceptable drivers of sustainable poultry production. It contains many important biological properties, such as immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory responses. Postbiotics revealed promising antioxidant effects due to higher concentrations of uronic acid and due to some enzyme's production of antioxidants, e.g., superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidases and peroxidases. Postbiotics improve intestinal villi, increase lactic acid production, and reduce Enterobacteriaceae and fecal pH, all of which lead to a better immune reaction and health of the gut, as well as better growth performance. P13K/AKT as a potential target pathway for postbiotics-improved intestinal barrier functions. Similarly, postbiotics reduce yolk and plasma cholesterol levels in layers and improve egg quality. It was revealed that favorable outcomes were obtained with various inclusion levels at 1 kg and 0.5 kg. According to several studies, postbiotic compounds significantly increased poultry performance. This review article presents the most recent research investigating the beneficial results of postbiotics in poultry.

Various biometerials have been researched and have been developed for treatment of some disease through transplantation to body. They have been evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity test using some skin-derived cell lines for prediction of their biocompatibility in vivo. However, the results of experiments using mesenchymal or epithelial cells could not be considered in vivo immune reaction. In this study, we evaluated the biomaterial-elution (elute from high density polyethylene film) using some cell lines (L929, Jurkat, U937) in vitro, and then that results were compared with in vivo results from guinea pig sensitization test. In sensitization test, saline and elution of syringe could not induce erythema, but only DNCB (hypersensitive chemical) induce erythema at guinea pig sensitization test. In cell experiment, the cytotoxicity results of inflammatory cells (Jurkat; T lymphocyte, U937; monocyte) was no difference with L929 (fibroblast) in the overall trend. However, inflammatory cell lines were only secreted inflammatory cytokine (TNF-${\alpha}$, INF-${\gamma}$) in some materials (biomateriallution, FAC, DNCB). And the biomaterial-elution did not have toxicity to the cells, but it induced the inflammatory cytokines in inflammatory cell lines only. So, we were predicted inflammatory reaction through the cytokine resultes of inflammatory cell lines, and it was more correlated with in vivo results than cytotoxicity test. Therefore, we suggested that the inflammatory cytokine assay using inflammatory cell lines are more effective method in vitro for evaluation of biocompatibility of biomaterials or chemicals.

GMI (Fibrel${(R)}$) is one of the dermal filling substances which have been successfully used for the treatment of depressed cutaneous scar and wrinkles. It's major components are; Gelatin powder, which provides a framework for the clot to form and remains stable under the scar, and ${\varepsilon}$-aminocaproic acid, which inhibits the production of fibrinolysin, and Plasma, which provides the necessary ingredients for collagen synthesis. GMI has advantages of low immunogenicity and increased longevity. It has been known to induce fibroblast activity and promote new collagen synthesis. We used 34 Sprague-Dawley rats which were bred under the same condition and duration. 18 of experimental animals were undergone cardiac puncture, and their blood were collected, centrifugated, and stored in freezer. Out of 16 animals, control group were injected with 2ml plasma into the subcutaneous tissue of Lt. scapular, while experimental group were implanted of 2 ml GMI into the Rt. same area. Experimental animals were sacrificed at the 3rd day, 5th day, 1st week and 2nd week respectively after implantation of GMI. To observe the histopathologic change of GMI and surrounding tissue reaction of GMI, we had examined with H&E staining, immunohistochemical staining with vimentin, ${\alpha}$-SMA, S-100 under LM and SEM. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. In LM study, the inflammatory cell infiltrations and granulation tissue formation were observed, and muscle tissues were well attached with adipose tissues in the control group. In the experimental group, inflammatory cell infiltrations had been observed by the 2nd week and irregular adipiose tissues and well differentiated mesenchymal tissues were examined. 2. In immunohistochemical study, the experimental group of ${\alpha}$-SMA study, there were a prominent positive response on endothelial development of granulation tissues and mesenchymal tissues compare with the control group. In vimentin study, positive response on mescenchymal fibroblast continued to 2nd week, but negative in the control group. In S-100 study, both groups were positively responded on irregular adipose tissues. 3. In SEM study, collagen fibers were embedded by the plasma by the 5th day in the control group, and in the 3rd day experiment GMI were resorved but communited with collagen fiber till the 1st week. Collagen fibers were infilt-rated into GMI at the 2nd week and the infilltrated GMI were conglomerated with the mature adipose cells and the collagen fibers. From the above results, GMI implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of Sprague-Dawley rat, the mild infiltration of inflammatory cells were showed till 2nd week and the granulation tissues were observed. GMI were nearly resorbed till 2nd week, but well attached with adipose tissue and collagen fibers. The endothelium and fibroblasts were actively proliferated. Adipose tissues and mesenchymal tissue cells were observed. As already expressed, GMI showed resorptive change in course of time without any early immune reaction, and seemed to induce fibroblast activity and promote new collagen synthesis.

파유미 종 닭에 계두 및 구두 백신을 접종하고 2종의 백신에 대한 방어 능력을 방글라대쉬의 야외의 닭 사육 조건에서 비교하였다. 'Take reaction'의 수율을 평가하여 이것을 더 나은 면역 반응과 관련지어 해석하였으며, 그룹 B와 그룹 C의 닭은 각각 93.33%와 100%의 면역 반응을 보여주었다. 1차 예방접종에 따른 평균 PHA 항체가는 B와 C 그룹에서 각각 $32{\pm}14.81$과 $33{\pm}13.66$으로 나타났다. 보강 접종 후 평균 PHA 항체가는 B 및 C 그룹의 전 처리군에서는 $46.93{\pm}16.52$와 $55.46{\pm}14.64$이었으며, 공격접종 2주 후 시점에서 향체가는 각각 $93.86{\pm}33.04$와 $110.93{\pm}29.29$로 나타났다. PHA 항체가는 백신 접종 후와 접종 후 처치군들에서 백신접종 전 항체가에 비해 현저하게 증가함을 보여주었다. 이렇게 현저한 PHA 항체가의 차이는 사용한 백신의 종류가 다양함으로 인해 발생되는 것이기도 하였으나, 백신 접종을 받은 모든 닭들은 감염에 대한 저항력을 보여주었다.

비브리오 패혈증의 원인균인 V vulnificus에 대한 어류의 저항성을 증강시키기 위한 연구로써, 비브리오 백신이 경구로 투여된 넙치에서의 특이 또는 비특이적 면역반응을 조사하였다. 넙치에 대하여 UHKB (uncoated heat killed bacterin of V. vulnincus)를 20rng1kg b.w.의 농도로 경구를 통하여 4주 연속 투여 (4W) 또는 1주 동안 투여하고 2주 동안 투여하지 않다가 다시 1주 동안 투여 (1-2-lW) 하는 두 가지 방법으로 실시한 후 형성된 혈청내 특이 항체량을 비교한 결과 1-2-1W group은 4W group에는 도달하지 못하였지만 명백히 증가된 특이 항체량을 보여주었다. UHKB를 1주일에 2회씩 4주 연속 투여한 실험구가 최종 투여 후 2주 째부터 가장 높은 항체가를 보여 주었고 이러한 경향은 전 실험기간 동안 계속 유지되었다. 이러한 실험 결과는 단일세포수준에서 분석된 특이항체 생성세포 (SASC) 수의 계측에서도 확인되었는데 백신의 최종 경구투석 후 1주 째부터 대조구에 비하여 증가를 보인 실험구의 SASC수는 최종 투여 후 8주 째까지 유지되었다. 그러나 내산성으로 제조된 백신 (ECHB)은 V.vulnificus에 대한 항체생성 면역반응 그리고 인위 감염시킨 V vulnifcus (1$\times$10 CFU/kg b.w.) 생균의 체내 제거능력 분석 양쪽 모두에서 UHKB에 비하여 낮은 결과를 보여 주었다. 그러므로 넙치에 경구 투여된 UHKB는 V vulnificus의 오염을 억제 할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 확인되었으나 내산성으로 제조된 ECHB는 면역반응 증가를 유도하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)에 대한 체액성 및 세포성 면역반응 유도에 대한 PAMAM dendrimer G4 (PAMAM)의 증강 효과를 조사하였다. PAMAM을 KLH와 2주 간격으로 2회 피하주사로 면역한 후, KLH에 대한 특이항체를 측정한 결과, KLH+PAMAM 면역 그룹은 KLH만을 단독으로 면역한 그룹에 약 30배이상 높은 유의한 항체가(IgG+IgA+IgM) 상승을 나타냈다. ELISA 분석에 의해 KLH 특이적인 면역글로부린의 isotype을 측정한 결과, PAMAM를 혼합하여 면역함으로서 IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3 및 IgM 항체의 역가가 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 면역 개시 7주째에 면역동물에 KLH 항원을 피하주사하고 swelling reaction을 통해 세포성 면역반응인 지연형 과민반응(DTH)을 측정한 결과, KLH+PAMAM으로 면역한 그룹에서 KLH만을 단독으로 면역한 그룹에 비해 높은 DTH 유도활성이 관찰되었다. 한편 면역동물의 비장세포를 취하여 in vitro에서 KLH로 재자극한 후 림프구 증식반응과 사이토카인 유도활성을 측정한 결과, PAMAM을 혼합하여 면역한 그룹에서 KLH 단독 면역 그룹에 비해 림프구의 증식반응에 유의하게 증가하였으며, Th1 type (IFN-γ)과 Th2 type (IL-4) 사이토카인의 생성도 모두 상승하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 PAMAM dendrimer는 함께 투여된 항원물질에 의해 유도되는 세포성 면역과 체액성 면역을 상승시키는 활성이 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 PAMAM dendrimer가 면역 adjuvant로서 응용 가능한 소재임을 입증하는 것이다.
