대기의 이산화탄소의 농도 증가는 해양산성화와 지구온난화를 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 해마는 해양생태계 및 수산자원생물로서 중요한 종으로 알려져 있지만, 최근 해양산성화로 인하여 개체수가 감소되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 멸종 위기 종인 복해마(Hippocampus kuda)에 미치는 생리적 영향을 조사하기 위해서 사육수의 산성조건인 pH 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 및 자연해수(pH 8.0)의 환경에서 복해마(H. kuda)를 15일 동안 사육 후 체내 조성 변화 및 항산화 효소 활성 변화에 대하여 조사를 실시하였다. 복해마(H. kuda)의 크기 및 성장은 대조군인 pH 8.0을 제외한 실험군에서는 pH가 저하함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 체내 조성성분인 회분, 조지방 및 조단백 또한 pH 저하에 따라 농도의존적으로 감소하는 것이 관찰되었다. SOD, CAT 및 GSH와 같은 항산화 효소의 분석 결과, SOD활성의 경우, pH 저하에 따라 농도의존적으로 감소하지만, 이와 상반되게 CAT 및 GSH에서는 pH저하에 따라 활성이 농도의존적으로 증가하는 결과가 나타내었다. 이것은 복해마(H. kuda)가 사육수의 pH 저하에 따른 체내 항상성을 유지하는 과정 중 스트레스가 야기되어 에너지 대사가 손상된 것으로 추정된다. 항산화효소는 일반적으로 산성화 스트레스에 민감하게 작용하는데 본 연구에서도 사육수의 pH 변화에 따라 항산화 효소작용이 유의하게 변화하였다. 이러한 결과로 복해마(H. kuda)에 있어서 산성화 노출을 통한 생리학적 스트레스가 항산화 반응 및 체내 성분과 성장을 저해하는 것으로 여겨진다.

Internal stress of electrodeposited metals affect physical and mechanical characteristics of deposits. Internal stress of nickel deposits was reviewed intensively. Important outcomes are as follows. Substrate have an important effect on internal stress of electrodeposit. Origin of its internal stress could be explained mismatch of crystal lattice and coalescence of crystallites. When surface cleaning is not satisfying, instantaneous stress is low but the electrodeposited layer being thickened increasingly stress become to high and peeling phenomenon occurs. Effect of current density and temperature on internal stress is variable. Internal stress increases rapidly at pH 5 and above because of codepositing colloidal materials caused hydrolysis. Concentrations of nickel ion and $H_3BO_3$ ion affect little on internal stress and solution which contains impurities tend to increase stress. Especially impurities of $H_2O_2$ and iron ion have a great effect on internal stress. Additives are divided in two kind. One is increasing tensile stress another is increasing compressive stress. Concentrations of additives have a great effect on internal stress.

To obtain global gene expression profiles of Arabidopsis thaliana by acid stress, seedlings were subjected to low pH stress. Using Affymetrix AH1 chips covering 24,000 genes, we analyzed gene expression patterns. Fifty-four genes were up-regulated, and 38 were down-regulated more than 3-fold after 2 h of acid stress (pH 3.0). Several defense and abiotic stress-related genes were recognized among the up-regulated genes and peroxidase and extensin genes were identified among the down-regulated genes. After 12 h treatment, relatively fewer genes showed changed expression, indicating that plants seem to adjust themselves to this abiotic stress. Most of the up-regulated genes are already known to be involved in abiotic stress responses and pathogen attacks, especially wounding. However, down-regulated genes for the members of extensins and peroxidases are specific to the acid treatment. These results suggest that acid treatment turns on genes involved in stress responses, especially in wounding and turns off genes very specific for the acid stress.

Objective: Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been shown to accelerate cell proliferation and tissue healing in both animal models and clinical trials. However, details of the clinical effects of LIPUS have not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LIPUS on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in rat articular chondrocytes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Chondrocyte were cultured in six well cell culture plates for 72 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ with 5% $CO_2$, and then exposed to LIPUS at 1.5 MHz frequency and $30-mW/cm^2$ power. Changes in chondrocyte activities were evaluated in response to oxydative stress in dose-dependent (0 and 300 uM) and time-dependent (0-24 hr) manner. The cell viability were analyzed using MTT [3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide]. The expression of p38 MAPK was measured using western blotting. Results: Oxidative stress was induced in rat chondrocytes using hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). The cell viability was decreased in chondrocytes after the $H_2O_2$ dose and time-dependent treatment. The p38 MAPK phosphorylation occurred at a significantly increased rate after $H_2O_2$ treated (p<0.05). Expression of p38 MAPK was decreased in the p38 inhibitor groups compared with the oxidative stress-induced chondrocyte damage via the p38 MAPK signaling pathways (p<0.05). Conclusions: It could be concluded that LIPUS can inhibit oxidative stress-induced chondrocyte damage via the p38 MAPK signaling pathways.

생분해성 포장재질에 대한 달걀의 기능성 변화를 알아보기 위해 달걀의 저장중 pH변화, 파손강도 및 응력완화현상을 측정하고 무포장 및 복합 필름에 포장한 달걀과 비교하였다. 생분해성 포장재질을 달걀에 사용한 경우 pH는 초기 8.39에서 최종 pH 9.3으로 최종 pH 9.48을 보인 무포장의 경우와 유사한 pH변화를 보이며, 파손강도의 변화에 있어서도 초기 14.25 N에서 생분해성 포장재질로 포장한 경우 6.76 N, 무포장의 경우 9.31 N의 변화를 보였다. 생분해성 포장재질이나 무포장에 비해 공기투과도가 상대적으로 무척 낮은 복합 필름 포장재를 사용한 경우는 저장이 진행됨에 따라 pH는 8.39에서 8.81로 적은 변화량을 보였으나 파손 강도값은 14.25 N에서 5.29 N으로 크게 감소하는 것으로 보아 달걀내부의 물성학적 기능이 크게 저하됨을 보여주었다. 내부조직변화를 감지할 수 있는 응력완화 현상을 측정하여 3-elements Maxwell model에 적용하고 구하여진 점탄성의 값을 비교시 무포장한 달걀과 생분해성 포장재를 사용한 경우에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 복합 필름 포장재의 경우에는 저장이 진행됨에 따라 그 기능이 현저하게 떨어짐을 보여주었으며 따라서, 달걀의 기능성 변화를 살펴볼 때 공기 및 수분투과도가 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 생분해성 포장재질의 많은 인장력 증가가 현 단계에서 요구되나 환경적인 문제를 고려할 때 기존의 달걀 포장재인 PE포장재의 대체품으로서 사용 가능성이 긍정적으로 여겨진다.

The aim of study is to contribute to this knowledge-base by investigating the respiratory function, the metabolic rate and the difference of physiological responses un-der low water temperature ($20^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}15^{\circ}C$) stress be-tween diploid and triploid far eastern catfish, Silurus asotus. During the 48 hrs of water temperature stress exposure time, the respiratory frequencies, $CO_2$ and ${NH_4}^+$ concentrations of diploid had higher values than those of triploid (p<0.05). However, pH of triploid was higher than those of diploid (p<0.05), and oxygen consumption rate was not different between diploid and triploid (p>0.05). The level of plasma cortisol and plasma glucose of triploid was lower than those of the diploid (p<0.05). However, in case of lactic acid, there were not significant between triploid and diploid (p>0.05). These results suggest that diploid was more sensitive for low water temperature stress response than triploid in this species.

To be economically profitable, the poultry industry demands an increase in stocking density, which could adversely affect chicken welfare. The current study was performed to investigate the effect of stocking density on stress-related, heat shock protein genes (HSP70 and HSP90), 3-hydroxyl-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) gene and telomere length in broiler chickens. Seven-day-old broiler chickens were housed at High (0.0578 $m^2$/bird), Standard (0.077 $m^2$/bird) and Low (0.116 $m^2$/bird) stocking densities with 8 replicates each until 35 d of age. The growth performance, such as body weight gain and average daily feed intake, was found to be significantly (p<0.05) higher in the Low density group, but these parameters did not show any difference between the High and Standard groups. Other growth performance, such as feed conversion ratio and final feed intake, showed no difference among the treated groups. The expression levels of HSP70 and HMGCR were found to be elevated with the increase of stocking density. The expression level of these genes was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the High density stocked group compared with the other groups, whereas the expression levels were not significantly different between the Low and Standard groups. The expression levels of HSP90 did not show any significant changes among the treated groups. The telomeric length of the birds housed in High density was reduced significantly (p<0.05) when compared to that of the birds in Low density. These results clearly indicate that birds stocked at high density show physiological adaptive changes indicative of stress at gene transcriptional and telomere levels.

Using a low viscosity synthetic traction oil and a low viscosity mineral oil with nearly equal viscosity grade of ISO VG 32, the effect of kind of oil on the fatigue life of bearing steel rollers was examined. A pair of rollers finished the contact surfaces to a mirror-like condition were driven under rolling with sliding conditions of s = -3.2% and a maximum Hertzian stress in the range of $P_H=2.8GPa{\sim}4.0GPa$ was applied in point contact condition. As a result of experiments, the fatigue life with a mineral oil was longer than that with a traction oil under higher stress conditions above $P_H=3.4GPa$. Based on the numerical calculation results of the thermal EHL which simulates the present experiment, the authors discuss the reason why such a difference in the fatigue life comes out.

Low soil pH causes from $H^+$ rhizotoxicity results in nutrients unavailability in the growing media, inhibits plant growth, development and reduces crop yields. The present study was carried out to reveal morpholophysiological and biochemical responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to acidity stress. Four wheat varieties viz. BARI Wheat-21, BARI Wheat-25, BARI Wheat-26 and BARI Wheat-30 were used in the study. Eight-day-old seedlings were exposed to different pH levels (3.5, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5) of growing media. Acidity stress at any level reduced biomass, water, and chlorophyll contents in all the varieties; whereas BARI Wheat-26 showed the least damage. $H^+$ rhizotoxicity also caused oxidative stress through excess production of reactive oxygen species and methylglyoxal which increase lipid peroxidation in all the varieties but the lowest oxidative damage was observed in BARI Wheat-26 due to better performance of the antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems. Considering the growth, physiological and biochemical attributes BARI Wheat-26 may be considered as acidity stress tolerant, among the variety examined.

Previous studies have suggested a possible correlation between cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and stress tolerance in Bifidobacterium. In this study, the relationship was examined between CSH and environmental stress tolerance in Lactobacillus spp. By measuring the adhesion to hexadecane, 2 Lactobacillus fermentum strains- KLB 261 and KLB 231 were found to have high and low CSH, respectively. To measure their tolerance to various stresses, cells were subjected to salt (2 M NaCl), acid (pH 2), $H_2O_2$ (0.01 %, v/v), ethanol (20%, v/v), heat ($60^{\circ}C$), and cold ($-20^{\circ}C$). Compared with KLB 231, the hydrophobic KLB 261 was found to be much more resistant to the various stresses examined. After being subjected to different stresses for a period of time, KLB 261 and KLB 231 showed 50 and 0% survivability in 2 M NaCl, 108.2 and 0.6% in 0.01 %(v/v) $H_2O_2$, 40.2%(v/v), and 3.7% at $60^{\circ}C$ incubation, 4 and 0.6% at $-20^{\circ}C$, 12.9 and 0.1 % in pH 2, 33.8 and 0.2% in 20%(v/v) ethanol, respectively. Autoaggregation test and morphological observation were also conducted in an attempt to explain these differences. These results suggested that high CSH could strengthen the stress tolerance of lactobacilli.
