본 연구는 포유동물 수정란의 체외발생에 인, 아미노산과 BSA가 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 체외성숙 및 수정된 소의 수정란을 한정 무단백 배양액에서 배양하였다. 배양액에 포함된 인의 농도를 0.00, 0.10. 0.35, 1.05와 2.10mM로 조정하였을 때 0.00부터 1.05mM 농도에서는 수정후 48시간 까지 수정란 발생에 영향을 미치지 않았고, 수정후 96시간과 114에서의 8세포기와 상실배 발생이 0.35mM에서 유의적(P<0.05)으로 붕가하였다. 19종 아미노산의 첨가는 수정후 96, 144, 192시간에 각각8세포기(49-50%), 상실배(38-40%), 배반포(29-32%)발생을 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였으나, glutamine단독 첨가는 영향이 없었다. BSA첨가는 첨가시간에 관계없이 수정후 48, 96, 144, 192시간에서 각각 2세포기, 8세포기, 상실배와 배반포의 발생을 증가시켰다.

B3 antibody specifically binds the $Lewis^Y$-related carbohydrate antigen of many carcinomas, and it is used as a model antibody in this study. In a previous study, the Fab fragment of the antibody was fused to a 38 kDa truncated form of Pseudomonas exotoxin A, PE38, to make Fab-PE38, where PE38 is fused to the Fd fragment of the Fab domain. This parent monomer molecule, Fab-PE38, had no cysteine in the hinge region, and it could not make a disulfide bond to form a disulfide bond bridged homodimer. In this study, we constructed three different kinds of divalent Fab-toxin fusion homodimers where the toxin is fused to the light chain of Fab, $(Fab-PE38fl)_2$. In addition to the PE38 toxin fused to the light chain, these three molecules have different hinge sequences hi, h2, and h3 making Fabh1-, Fabh2-, and Fabh3-PE38fl monomers, respectively. These hinges contain only one cysteine on different positions of the hinge sequence. The disulfide bond between the hinge region of two monomers forms homodimers $(Fabh1-PE38fl)_2$, $(Fabh2-PE38fl)_2$, and $(Fabh3-PE38fl)_2$. The refolding yields of these dimers were 5-16-fold higher than a previously constructed dimer where the PE38 was fused to the Fd fragment $(Fabh2-PE38)_2$ [8]. Our data suggest that the steric repulsion between the two PE38s in $(Fabh1-PE38)_2$ during disulfide bridge formation is relieved by fusing it at the end of the light chain. The best cytotoxicity value of these dimers showed about 2.5-fold higher on an MCF7 cell line than that of the monovalent reference molecule in ng/ml scale, which is 15-fold higher in pM scale.

본 연구는 실제 운영되는 수산물 가공 산업폐수의 immersed MBR (iMBR)공정을 이용한 폐수처리시설 운영 결과에 대한 실증적 고찰을 수행한 것이다. 수산물 가공 산업의 특성상 일별, 월별 유량 변동이 심하여 유량조정조의 설계 및 운전방법이 중요하며, 유량조정조 교반시 포기식 교반을 적용하면 산발효 방지를 통하여 후속 응집/부상 공정의 약품비 절감이 가능하다. 동 현장은 유량조정조, 가압부상조, iMBR을 거쳐 방류하며, 이때 가압부상조를 거쳐 iMBR로 유입되는 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, T-P의 농도는 2,291 mg/L, 530 mg/L, 38 mg/L, 256.8 mg/L, 13.5 mg/L으로 나타났다. 수산물 가공 폐수와 같이 고농도의 염이 함유된 폐수의 생물학적 처리는 슬러지의 침강성과 관계없는 침지식 중공사막을 이용한 iMBR 공법을 적용하는것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. iMBR 공정의 주요 에너지 소모 요인인 공기세정에 대한 운영 값의 검토 결과 SADm값이 $0.31m^3/hr{\cdot}m^2$ membrane area이었으며, SADp값은 $26.5m^3/hr{\cdot}m^3$ permeate으로 상용화된 평막 대비 월등히 에너지 효율이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 무산소, 혐기, 호기 탈기조로 구성된 침지식 중공사막이 결합된 iMBR 공정에서 막오염 지표인 Normalized TMP와 온도, MLSS 등을 비교 분석한 결과 F/M비가 0.08~0.10 gBOD/gMLSS에서 임계 F/M 값을 나타냈다. 생물반응조에서의 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, T-P의 처리수질은 각각 1.8 mg/L, 11.0 mg/L, 1.1 mg/L, 11.0 mg/L, 0.24 mg/L으로 운전되었으며, 제거율은 99.9%, 97.9%, 96.3%, 95.7%, 97.8%으로 나타났다.

In the present study, the neuroprotective effects of astaxanthin on $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic cell death, using cultured mouse neural progenitor cells (mNPCs), were investigated. To cause apoptotic cell death, mNPCs were pretreated with astaxanthin for 8 h and followed by treatment of 0.3 mM $H_2O_2$. Pretreatment of mNPCs with astaxanthin significantly inhibited $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptosis and induced cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. In Western blot analysis, astaxanthin-pretreated cells showed the activation of p-Akt, p-MEK, p-ERK, and Bcl-2, and the reduction of p-P38, p-SAPK/JNK, Bax, p-GSK3b, cytochrome c, caspase-3, and PARP. Because $H_2O_2$ triggers caspases activation, this study examined whether astaxanthin can inhibit caspases activation in $H_2O_2$-treated mNPCs. After $H_2O_2$ treatment, caspases activities were prominently increased, but astaxanthin pretreatment significantly inhibited $H_2O_2$-mediated caspases activation. Astaxanthin pretreatment also significantly recovered the ATP production ability of $H_2O_2$-treated cells. These findings indicate that astaxanthin inhibits $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic features in mNPCs. Inhibition assays with SB203580 ($10\;{\mu}M$, a specific inhibitor of p38) and PD98059 ($10\;{\mu}M$, a specific inhibitor of MEK) clearly showed that astaxanthin can inhibit $H_2O_2$-mediated apoptotic death via modulation of p38 and MEK signaling pathways.

In this study, we evaluated effect of particle size on arsenic solid-state speciation and bioaccessibility in soils highly contaminated with arsenic from smelting and mining. Soils were partitioned into six particle size fractions ($2000-500{\mu}m$, $500-250{\mu}m$, $250-150{\mu}m$, $150-75{\mu}m$, $75-38{\mu}m$, <$38{\mu}m$), and arsenic solid-state speciation and bioaccessibility were characterized in each particle size fraction. Arsenic solid-state speciation was characterized via sequential extraction and XRD analysis, and arsenic bioaccessibility was evaluated by SBRC (Solubility Bioaccessibility Research Consortium) method. In smelter site soil, arsenic was mainly present as arsenic bound to amorphous iron oxides. Fine particle size fractions showed higher arsenic concentration, but lower arsenic bioaccessibility. On the other hand, arsenic in mine site soil showed highest concentration in largest particle size fraction ($2000-500{\mu}m$), while higher bioaccessibility was observed in smaller particle size fractions. Arsenic in mine site soil was mainly present as arsenolite ($As_2O_3$) phase, which seemed to affect the distribution of arsenic and arsenic bioaccessibility in different particle size fractions of the mine soil.
