Mammalian eyes have a limited ability to regenerate once neurons degenerate. This results in visual impairment that impacts the quality of life among adult populations as well as in young children leading to lifelong consequences. Various therapies are in development to restore vision, and these include gene therapy, stem cell therapy, in-vivo transdifferentiation, and transplantation of a patient's whole eye obtained from interspecies blastocyst complementation. This review discusses advances in the research as well as hurdles that need to be resolved to have a successful restoration of vision.

Purpose Acrylamide is present in significant quantities in a wide range of commonly consumed human foods. Carcinogenic risk of acrylamide through the consumption of food is a great public concern and in controversy, but it is not properly addressed due to the lack of evidence in humans. While a plenty of data is available on the carcinogenicity in animal models, the studies in humans are limited. Thus, the present study attempted to examine the carcinogenic potentials of acrylamide on the human epithelial cell, which is the target cell origin of the most cancers. Material and method & Result 1. Acrylamide was not cytotoxic up to $100{\mu}M$ as measured by MTT and LDH assays, indicating a relatively low toxicity of this substance in human epithelial cells. 2. The parameters of neoplastic cellular transformation such as cell saturation density, soft-agar colony formation and cell aggregation were analyzed to examine the carcinogenic potential of acrylamide. 3. The neoplastic transformation was further increased with the co-treatment of TPA 4. Antioxidants blocked the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) and the GSH depleting agent dramatically increased the ROS production. 5. mRNA levels of fibronectin following acrylamide exposure was increased in a dose-dependent manner, indicating a possible biomarker of acrylamide-induced cellular transformation. Conclusion The present study will provide a valuable basis to compare the interspecies differences in response to carcinogenic potentials of acrylamide. The data on the interspecies differences are essential element in human risk assessment. Thus, our results obtained from the human epithelial cells will contribute to improving the risk assessment of human neoplasm including oral cancer.

본 연구에서는 토양 내에서 비선택적으로 작용하는 제초제인 phosphinothricin(PPT) 을 분해할 수 있는 세균을 분리. 동정하고 돌연변이 유도 및 세포융합의 기법을 통해 그 능력을 개량하였으며, 아울러 다른 제초제인 glyphosate 저항성 균주 (Pseudomonas cepacia) 와의 종간 세포 융함을 이용하여 두가지 제초제에 동시에 작용 할 수 있는 균주의 개발 가능성을 알아보았다. 이때, 분리된 PPT 분해균주는 Pseudomonas paucimobilis 로 동정되었고, ethylmethansulfate 를 처리하여 영양 요구성 돌연변이를 얻은뒤, 이를 종내 세포융합을 위한 균주로 사용하였다. Lysozyme 과 EDTA 를 이용하여 원형질체를 형성시켰을때, 원형질체 재생율은 P. paucimoblis 의 경우 6.5%, P. cepacia 의 경우 8.8% 로 나타났다. 세포융합의 fusogen 으로 polyethylenglycol 6,000 을 사용하여, 종내 융합을 통한 융합체 F1, F2, 종간 융합을 통한 융합체 F3, F4 를 얻었다. 종내 융합의 결과, 융합체 F1 위 경우 야생형에 비해 PPT 분해능이 약 11% 정도 향상되었으며, 종간융합을 통하여 얻은 융합체의 경우, PPT 분해능 및 glyphosate 저항성 등의 모균주 특성을 모두 지니고 있다.

본 연구에서는 랫트, 토끼, 닭, 개 등의 각종 동물들의 약물동태학적 파라미터를 이용하여 록시스로마이신의 이종간 예측모델을 수립하였으며, 이때 약물동태학적 파라미터는 반감기, 청소율, 분포용적, 평균체류시간 등을 이용하였다. 이종간 약물동태학적 파라미터의 변화 예측은 체중과 지수적 상관관계 $(Y=aW^b)$를 이용하였으며, 이때 Y는 약물동태학적 파라미터, W는 체중, a는 allometric coefficient를 의미한다. B는 약물동태학적 파라미터와 체중간의 상관관계를 의미하는 비례상수이다. 랫트, 토끼, 닭, 개 등의 약물동태학적 파라미터인 분포용적, 청소율, 반감기, 평균체류시간 등은 체중과 유의한 선형관계를 나타내었다. 본 연구에 의해 수립된 록시스로마이신에 대한 이종간 약물동태학적 파라미터의 이종간 예측모델은 다양한 종의 동물종에 대한 좀 더 정확한 용법용량을 구하는 기초자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

Cultured cells of the toxic Alexandrium tamarense were fed to four mussel species, Mytilus coruscus, M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis and Septifer vulgatus, to examine the interspecies and interlocality differences in the ability to accumulate paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins. Toxin content of A. tamarense cells varied during culture period. In contrast, toxin composition in the cell (C1,2, GTX1-4 and neoSTX) was constantly stable. In feeding experiment, the four mussel species collected from Geoje intoxicated after uptake of A. tamarense. Toxin content ($average{\pm}SD\;{\mu}g$ STXeq/100 g) of M. coruscus, M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis and Septifer vulgatus were $1,660{\pm}79,\;3,914{\pm}2,242,\;5,626{\pm}1,620\;and\;958{\pm}163$, respectively. Toxin profiles included C1,2, GTX1,4 and neoSTX as the major components, and dcGTX2,3, GTX2,3, neoSTX and STX as the minor ones. Toxin accumulation of three mussel species collected from Pohang, Geoje and Anmyon-do showed interspecies and interlocality differences. Toxin content ($average{\pm}SD\;{\mu}g$ STXeq/100 g) were $91{\pm}4,\;151{\pm}14,\;39{\pm}3$ in M coruscus, $189{\pm}1,\;231{\pm}11,\;206{\pm}15$ in M edu/is and $214{\pm}28,\;326{\pm}30,\;291{\pm}26$ in M. galloprovincialis in order of Anmyon-do, Geoje and Pohang.

혐기소화에 의한 메탄생산은 유기물이 가수분해, 산생성 단계를 거쳐 아세트산생성균과 메탄생성균 간의 영양공생 (syntrophy)에 의해 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 종간 영양공생 기작인 종간직접전자전달 (DIET, Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer) 과정을 촉진시키기 위하여 전도체인 마그네타이트 (Fe₃O₄) 첨가가 음폐수의 메탄생산에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 회분식 혐기반응기를 이용하여 마그네타이트 투입량에 따른 음폐수의 메탄퍼텐셜 (B_u)과 최대메탄생산속도 [R_m(t₀)]를 분석하였다. 마그네타이트 무처리구의 메탄퍼텐셜은 0.496 Nm³/kg-VS_added이었으며, 21.06일에 38.24 mL/day의 최대메탄생산속도를 보였다. 마그네타이트 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 70, 100mM 처리구의 메탄퍼텐셜은 각각 0.502, 0.498, 0.512, 0.510, 0.518, 0.523, 0.524, 0.540, 0.549 Nm³/kg-VS_added이었으며, 마그네타이트 투입량 증가에 따라 유의성 있는 메탄퍼텐셜의 증가 경향을 보였다. 최대메탄생산속도는 무처리구와 비교하여 마그네타이트 처리구에서 증가하였으며 15mM 처리구에서 36.95%까지 증가하였다. 또한, 마그네타이트 투입농도가 증가함에 따라 최대메탄생산속도에 도달하는 기간(t₀)은 무처리 21.06일에서 마그네타이트 100mM 처리 14.67일로 크게 단축되었다. 따라서, 마그네타이트 투입에 따른 음폐수의 메탄퍼텐셜과 최대메탄생산속도가 크게 향상되었다.

There are numerous and evidential findings that TCDD (2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-Pdioxin, or dioxin) is a potential carcinogen and general toxin in rodents. flowever, human risk assessment for dioxin exposure has been a topic of debate, owing in part to the large animal interspecies differences in its toxicity. We review dioxin-related reports indicating its toxicity, toxic effects in animal, and human epidemiologic findings. The intent of this paper does not provide a causal inference about chronic human diseases related to dioxin exposure. This summary would give a valuable clue for a researcher to conduct or design a further dioxin-related study.

Resent advances in computer technology have introduced a sophisticated capability for computing the biological fate of toxicants in a biological system. This methodology, which has drastically altered risk assessment skill in toxicology, is designed using all the mechanistic information, and all claim better accuracy with extrapolating capability Iron animal to people than conventional pharmacokinetic methods. Biologically based mathematical models in which the specific mechanistic steps governing tissue disposition(pharmacokinetics) and toxic action (pharmacodynamics) of chemicals are constructed in quantitative terms by a set of equations loading to prediction of the outcome of specific toxicological experiments by computer simulation. pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models are useful in risk assessment because their mechanistic biological basis permits the high-to-low dose, route to route and interspecies extrapolation of the tissue disposition and toxic action of chemicals.

Taxonomic relations among three species of some edible fleshy fungi(Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Flammulina velutipes) in the family Tricholomataceae were examined by using polyacrylamied gel disc electrophoresis. The soluble, crude extract of mycelium grown on potato sucrose broth was subjected to electrophoresis. Similarities in the protein bands for each isolated of one species were compared with those for others. In the banding patterns there was a closer relationship between isolates within one species than among isolates of different species. However, the isozyme patterns obtained from each isolate of Peurotus ostreatus (esterase, peroxidase, tyrosinase) were appeared to represent the degree of geographical variability within one species.

한국산 박새속 조류 Porus major(박새), Porus atter(진박새), Porus poiustris(쇠박새), Parus varius(곤줄박이)의 핵형을 일반염색 방법으로 분석한 결과 4종의 염색체 수는 모두 2n=78∼80으로 나타났고, 성 염색체를 포함한 7쌍이 macrochromosome, 그 외 32∼33쌍이 microchromosome이었다. 종간 차이를 나타내는 염색체는 5번째 염색체와성염색체인 Z·W-염색체였다. 이러한 핵형의 차이는 5번째 염색체에서는 pericentric inversion, 성 염색체에서는 전좌에 의한 것으로 생각된다. The chromosomal analysis of Pows major, Paws after, Paws palustris and Paws vorius of the genus Paws in Korea were performed by conventional Giemsa staining method. The diploid number of four species were 2n=78-80, and there were 7 pairs of macrochromosomes and 32 or 33 pairs of microchromosomes. The 5th and Z·W-chromosomeswere distinctly different between interspecies. Probably these karyological differences were speculated by pericentric inversion in 5th chromosome and translocation in Z·W-chromosomes.
