본 연구는 한국재래돼지의 MC1R 유전자형을 결정하고 MC1R 유전자의 변이와 육질과의 연관성을 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 재래돼지의 MC1R 유전자형을 분석한 결과 중국재래돼지품종이 속하는 $E^{D1}$ 내에서도 0201형에 속하는 것으로 나타났으며 몇몇의 재래돼지에서는 $E^P$ 유전자형이 출현하였는데 이는 Berkshire 품종의 혼입으로 인한 것으로 사료된다. 흑색의 모색과 관련되어 있다고 보고된 Leu102Pro (T1132C) 변이를 재래돼지와 Yorkshire의 양방향 교배로 생산된 F2 집단의 171 두를 대상으로 분석하고 육질형질과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 모든 육질형질에 대하여 유의적인 효과를 나타내지 않았으며 이로써 돼지의 흑색모색과 육질과는 연관성이 없으며 다른 육질관련 유전자에 의해 영향을 받는다는 근거를 제공하였다. 또한 Duroc 품종에서 AA으로 고정되어 있어 다른 품종과의 구분 기준이 되는 Ala243Thr (G1554A) 변이를 이용하여 종돈검정소에서 출하된 Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc, Berkshire 순종집단에 대한 유전자형 빈도를 조사하였으며 Berkshire를 제외한 나머지 품종에서 이형접합체가 일부 출현하였다.

The effect of genotype, fibre level and fibre source on gut morphology, environment and microflora was studied using 18 Mong Cai (MC) and 18 Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire (LY) pigs, aged around 60 d. The diets were based on maize, rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal and soybean oil, and cassava residue (CR) or brewer's grain (BG) as fibrous ingredient sources in the high-fibre diets (HF). A low-fibre diet (LF), containing around 200 g NDF/kg dry matter (DM), was formulated without CR and BG as feed ingredients. The HF diets (HF-CR and HF-BG) were formulated to contain around 270 g NDF/kg DM. The experiment was arranged according to a $2{\times}3$ factorial completely randomized design with six replications, and lasted 30 d. Crypt density in ileum was lowest (p<0.05) and villus height in jejunum and ileum were the greatest (p<0.05) in pigs fed diet HF-BG. Villus width in ileum was greatest in pigs fed diets HF-CR and HF-BG (p<0.05). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts in stomach were greatest (p<0.05) and E. coli counts in ileum and colon were lowest (p<0.05) in pigs fed diet HF-CR. The concentration of total organic acids in ileum, caecum and colon were greatest (p<0.05), and pH in ileum and colon were lowest (p<0.05) in pigs fed diet HF-CR. Crypt density in ileum was lowest, and villus height in ileum and villus width in jejunum and ileum was greatest in LY pigs (p<0.05). LAB counts in stomach and ileum were greatest, and E. coli counts in ileum were lowest in MC pigs (p<0.05). The concentration of total organic acids in ileum, caecum and colon were greatest (p<0.05) and pH lowest (p<0.05) in MC pigs.

Objectives: Erigeron bonariensis is a type of Erigeron found throughout the tropical and subtropical areas as one of the perennial plants or pioneer plants. It is known to show detoxifying, antipyretic, and anticancer effects for various cancers. However, there are no reports on the anticancer effect of E. bonariensis on oral cancer cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the methanol extract of Erigeron bonariensis (MEEB) on the inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis in mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) cell lines, including the MC3 and YD15 oral cancer cells. Methods: MC3 Cells were treated by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or methanol extracts of 20 various natural products 20 ㎍/mL for 48 hours and cell viability were analyzed as Trypan blue exclusion assay. The effects of MEEB treatment on the cell viability of MC3 and YD15 cells, for 48 h, were analyzed by Trypan blue exclusion assay. The anticancer efficacy and apoptosis of oral cancer cell lines were analyzed by western blot analysis. The statistical significance of differences between groups was analyzed by Student's two-tailed t-test. A value of P<0.05 compared to the vehicle control was considered statistically significant. Results: Among 20 different naturally derived products, MEEB significantly inhibited cell viability and increased cleaved poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP) protein in the MC3 and YD15 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions: These results suggest that MEEB can be used as a natural anticancer drug for the treatment of human oral cancer.

PURPOSE. This study was performed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 3mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) and niobium oxide containing Y-TZPs with specific ratios, new (Y,Nb)-TZPs, namely YN4533 and YN4533/Al20 discs. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 3Y-TZP, YN4533 and YN4533/Al20 discs (15 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness) were prepared and their average surface roughness ($R_a$) and surface topography were analyzed using 3-D confocal laser microscope (CLSM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded onto all zirconia discs and evaluated with regard to cell attachment and morphology by (CLSM), cell proliferation by PicoGreen assay, and cell differentiation by Reverse-Transcription PCR and Quantitative Real-Time PCR, and alkaline phosphatase (Alp) staining. RESULTS. The cellular morphology of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts was more stretched on a smooth surface than on a rough surface, regardless of the material. Cellular proliferation was higher on smooth surfaces, but there were no significant differences between 3Y-TZP, YN4533, and YN4533/Al20. Osteoblast differentiation patterns on YN4533 and YN4533/Al20 were similar to or slightly higher than seen in 3Y-TZP. Although there were no significant differences in bone marker gene expression (alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin), Alp staining indicated better osteoblast differentiation on YN4533 and YN4533/Al20 compared to 3Y-TZP. CONCLUSION. Based on these results, niobium oxide containing Y-TZPs have comparable osteogenic potential to 3Y-TZP and are expected to be suitable alternative ceramics dental implant materials to titanium for aesthetically important areas.

본 연구에서는 사철쑥 추출물의 항산화 효과 및 $H_2O_2$로 유도한 산화적 스트레스 상황에서 조골세포의 증식 및 분화에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 산화적 스트레스에 대한 사철쑥추출물의 조골세포 보호효과 및 골 질환 관련 항산화소재로서의 이용가능성에 대해 확인하였다. 항산화 능력을 알아보기 위해 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, DPPH radical 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능을 측정하였다. 그 결과 총 페놀 함량 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 90.19${\pm}$2.03 mg/g 과 11.10${\pm}$0.38 mg/g으로 나타났고 DPPH와 ABTS radical 50% 소거 활성의 농도는 105.80${\pm}$4.27와 251.48${\pm}$14.00 ${\mu}g$/mL였다. 이를 바탕으로 사철쑥은 항산화 기능을 하는 페놀 및 플라보노이드를 가지고 있으며 항산화 활성이 있으므로 조골세포에서 산화적 스트레스에 대해 보호효과를 가질 것이라 기대되었다. 산화적 스트레스 상황에서 사철쑥 추출물이 조골세포의 증식에 미치는 영향은 MTT assay를 통해 분화에 미치는 영향은 분화 지표인 ALP 활성, 석회화를 측정하여 알아보았다. 그 결과 사철쑥 추출물은 산화적 스트레스로 인해 감소된 세포의 증식률을 유의적으로 증가시켰고 산화적 스트레스 상황의 분화된 세포의 증식률도 유의적으로 증가시켰다. 분화의 지표인 ALP 활성은 모든 농도에서 활성이 유의적으로 증가하였고 석회화 또한 유의적으로 증가하였다. 증식률 및 두 개의 분화지표인 ALP 활성, 석회화 모두 사철쑥 추출물 200 ${\mu}L$ 농도일 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 사철쑥 추출물이 항산화 활성이 있고 산화적 스트레스 상황의 조골세포의 증식과 분화를 증가시키는 결과로 미루어 볼 때 사철쑥 추출물의 항산화 활성이 산화적 스트레스 상황의 조골세포를 보호하는 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 이상의 연구결과 사철쑥 추출물은 항산화 작용을 통해 $H_2O_2$로 유도된 산화적 스트레스 상황에서 조골세포의 증식 및 분화를 촉진하고 손상 및 활성 감소를 억제하여 산화적 스트레스에 대해 보호하는 효과가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 산화적 스트레스에 대한 조골세포의 보호효과 및 골 질환 관련 항산화소재로서 사철쑥이 이용가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

우리의 경제발전과 함께, 막구조 및 케이블구조를 이용한 특수 대공간 구조물이 더욱 더 늘어날 전망이며, 이들 구조물의 구조해석은 일반적인 범용ㅇ 구조해석 프로그램으로는 해석이 불가능하다. 즉, 대부분의 범용 구조해석 프로그램이 초기강성을 가진 구조물을 해석할 수 있는데 반해, 막구조 및 케이블 구조는 초기강성이 매우 약한 구조체이므로, 초기 불안정현상을 나타내고, 따라서 해석이 불가능하게 된다. 이러한 구조적 특징을 가진 막구조 및 케이블구조를 해석하기 위하여, 막 케이블 및 트러스요소로 구성된 복합구조체를 해석할 수 있는 범용 구조해석 프로그램인 McS(Membrane and Cable/Truss Structures)가 개발되었으며, 그 Flow-chart는 표1에서와 같다. McS는 현재, 한국에서는 성균관대학교 자연과학캠퍼스의 VAX-11, 1명진단조공업주식회사의 SUN 워크스테이션에서 작동중이며, 일본에서는 동경대학 생산기술연구소의 M-380 및 T.I.S. & Partners의 IBM 워크스테이션에서 작동중에 있다.

It is known that bones get damaged by accidents and aging. Since the discovery of Bioglass, various kinds of ceramics have been also found to bond to living bone; some of these ceramics are already being clinically used as bone-repairing materials. In the present study, antibacterial calcium silicate gel ($Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel) was prepared by sol-gel method in order to control the microstructure, which is related to the dissolution rate and induction period of apatite formation in body environment. In addition, biological $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ is tested. This was done to impart antimicrobial activity to the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$. Ag ion was added during sol-gel synthesis to replace the $H_2O$ added during the making of the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel, which has silver solutions of various concentration. After the sol-gel process, 1N-$HNO_3$ solution was used to wash the gel when synthesizing the gel, in order to maintain the porous structure and remove PEG, water soluble polymers. Then, the apatite forming ability of the sol-gel derived CaO-$SiO_2$ gels was investigated using simulated body fluid (SBF), which had almost the same ion concentration as that of human blood plasma. The gels were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM observation, XRD, and fluorescent microscopy. The apatite was successfully created even after washing the gel; apatite is present in an amorphous state, and was found to affect the concentration of the Ag ion in cells in MC3T3 live & dead assay results. From these results, it is suggested that a good material that can be used to repair defects of nature bone is $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel.

Trace mineral studies involving metal ion chelators have been conducted in investigating the response of gene and protein expressions of certain cell lines but a few had really focused on how these metal ion chelators could affect the availability of important trace minerals such as Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu. The aim of the present study was to investigate the availability of Zn for the treatment of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells and the availability of some trace minerals in the cell culture media components after using chelexing resin in the FBS and the addition of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN, membrane-permeable chelator) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA, membrane-impermeable chelator) in the treatment medium. Components for the preparation of cell culture medium and Zn-treated medium have been tested for Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu contents by atomic absorption spectrophotometer or inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer. Also, the expression of bone-related genes (ALP, Runx2, PTH-R, ProCOL I, OPN and OC) was measured on the cellular Zn depletion such as chelexing or TPEN treatment. Results have shown that using the chelexing resin in FBS would significantly decrease the available Zn (p<0.05) $(39.4{\pm}1.5{\mu}M\;vs\;0.61{\pm}10.15{\mu}M)$ and Mn (p<0.05) $(0.74{\pm}0.01{\mu}M\;vs\;0.12{\pm}0.04{\mu}M)$. However, levels of Fe and Cu in FBS were not changed by chelexing FBS. The use of TPEN and DTPA as Zn-chelators did not show significant difference on the final concentration of Zn in the treatment medium (0, 3, 6, 9, $12{\mu}M$) except for in the addition of higher $15{\mu}M\;ZnCl_2$ which showed a significant increase of Zn level in DTPA-chelated treatment medium. Results have shown that both chelators gave the same pattern for the expression of the five bone-related genes between Zn and Zn+, and TPEN-treated experiments, compared to chelex-treated experiment, showed lower bone-related gene expression, which may imply that TPEN would be a stronger chelator than chelex resin. This study showed that TPEN would be a stronger chelator compared to DTPA or chelex resin and TPEN and chelex resin exerted cellular zinc depletion to be enough for cell study for Zn depletion.
