Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar gallinarum (S. gallinarum) is the agent of fowl typhoid, and the 9R vaccine is a commercial live vaccine for the prevention of fowl typhoid. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of different brands of S. gallinarum 9R vaccine used in commercial laying chickens in Korea. All 9R strains originated from three different brands showed the same pattern in the biochemical and serological properties, and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profile. But, there was a difference in rhamnose fermentaion, agglutination with Salmonella group $D_1$ antiserum and PFGE pattern between 9R vaccine strain and field S. gallinarum isolates. In laboratory and field trials for assesment of safety and immunogenicity of 9R vaccine, all of the three 9R vaccines showed the same safety in commercial laying chickens. In addition, there was a significant difference between the vaccinated and unvaccinated control groups in mortality and the re-isolation rate of the challenge strain from the tissues (p < 0.05), and no difference by the brands of 9R vaccine. The results from this study indicated that all three different brands of S. gallinarum 9R vaccine showed highly protection against mortality and organ invasion in commercial laying chickens exposed to virulent strains of S. gallinarum.

A fungal strain, R9, was isolated from the South Atlantic sediment sample and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus. An antifungal protein, AfAFP_R9, was purified from the culture supernatant of Aspergillus fumigatus R9. AfAFP_R9 was identified to be restrictocin, which is a member of the ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), by MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS. AfAFP_R9 displayed antifungal activity against plant pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria longipes, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Paecilomyces variotii, and Trichoderma viride at minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.6, 0.6, 1.2, 1.2, and 2.4 μg/disc, respectively. Moreover, AfAFP_R9 exhibited a certain extent of thermostability, and metal ion and denaturant tolerance. The iodoacetamide assay showed that the disulfide bridge in AfAFP_R9 was indispensable for its antifungal action. The cDNA encoding for AfAFP_R9 was cloned from A. fumigatus R9 by RT-PCR and heterologously expressed in E. coli. The recombinant AfAFP_R9 protein exhibited obvious antifungal activity against C. gloeosporioides, T. viride, and A. longipes. These results reveal the antifungal properties of a RIP member (AfAFP_R9) from marine-derived Aspergillus fumigatus and indicated its potential application in controlling plant pathogenic fungi.

본 연구는 한우고기의 품질에 영향을 미치는 사후 대사변화를 구명하고자 사후 1, 3, 9, 24시간별에 따라 한우 거세우 배최장근의 pH, 도체온도, R-value 및 단백질분해효소 활성측정을 수행하였다. 도체 pH와 온도는 사후 시간이 경과함에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 사후 3시간에 6.50($31.99^{\circ}C$)을 나타내었다. $R_{248}$과 $R_{250}$ 값은 사후 9시간부터 유의적으로 증가하였지만, $R_{258}$ 값은 사후 9시간부터 감소하였다(p<0.05). Calpain I 활성은 사후 3시간부터 유의적으로 감소하였고, calpastatin 활성은 사후 9시간부터 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). pH와 도체온도는 $R_{258}$, calpain I, calpastatin에서 0.95이상의 높은 정의 상관관계를 나타내었지만, $R_{248}$과 $R_{250}$에서는 -0.97 이상의 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 사후9시간 이후에 대사 변화가 급격히 발생하는 것으로 나타났고, pH와 도체온도의 상관도가 높아 잠재적인 연화능력의 예측이 가능할 것으로 사료되지만, 사후 3시간부터 9시간 사이의 대사변화에 대하여 좀 더 심도 깊은 연구할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Previously, $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride has been found to lower dopamine content in PC12 cells (Kim et al., 20001). In this study, the effects of $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride on L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells were investigated. Treatment with $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride at concentrations higher than $500\;{\mu}M$ caused cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. In addition, $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride at non-cytotoxic or cytotoxic concentrations significantly enhanced L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity (L-DOPA concentration, $50\;{\mu}M$). Treatment of PC12 cells with $750\;{\mu}M$ $-1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride and $50\;{\mu}M$ L-DOPA, alone or in combination, also induced cell death via a mechanism which exhibited morphological and biochemical characteristics of apoptosis, including chromatin condensation and membrane blebbing. Exposure of PC12 cells to $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride, L-DOPA and $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride plus L-DOPA for 48 h resulted in a marked increase in the cell loss and percentage of apoptotic cells compared with exposure for 24 h. These data indicate that $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$hydrochloride at higher concentration ranges aggravates L-DOPA-induced neurotoxicity cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Therefore, it is proposed that the long-term L-DOPA therapeutic patients with $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride could be checked for the adverse symptoms.

The development of selective targeting of drug molecules towards the mitochondria is an important issue related to therapy efficacy. In this study, we report that gallic acid (GA)-mitochondria targeting sequence (MTS)-H₃R₉ exhibits a dual role as a mitochondria-targeting vehicle with antioxidant activity for disease therapy. In viability assays, GA-MTS-H₃R₉ showed a better rescue action compared to that of MTS-H₃R₉. GA-MTS-H₃R₉ dramatically exhibited cell penetration and intercellular uptake compared to MTS and fit escape from lysosome release to the cytosol. We demonstrated the useful targeting of GA-MTS-H₃R₉ towards mitochondria in AC16 cells. Also, we observed that the antioxidant properties of mitochondrial-accrued GA-MTS-H₃R₉ alleviated cell damage by reactive oxygen species production and disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential. GA-MTS-H₃R₉ showed a very increased cytoprotective effect against anticancer activity compared to that of MTS-H₃R₉. We showed that GA-MTS-H₃R₉ can act as a vehicle for mitochondria-targeting and as a reagent for therapeutic applications intended for cardiovascular disease treatment.

초음파기(A-mode type, TATT, TH-500, Datoherutsu Co, Japan)를 이용하여 20-39세의 한국 사람들의 삼두박근, 견갑골하부, 장골위, 대퇴부의 피하지방을 측정하고, 이 피하지방 두께와 표준체중, 상대체중(relative body weight, RBW), body mass index(BMI), $R\ddot{o}hrer$지수와의 상관관계를 알아 보았다. 남성에서는 장골위의 피하지방 두께가 $9.04{\sim}9.51mm$로 가장 크고, 견갑골 아래가 $9.04{\sim}9.51mm$, 대퇴부가 $6.48{\sim}7.04mm$, 삼두박근이 3.48${\sim}$3.69mm이었다. 피하지방 두께와 여러 신체 지수와의 상관관계를 보면 삼두박근의 피하지방 두께와 BMI(r=0.618), $R\ddot{o}hrer$지수(r= 0.622)가, 장골위의 피하지방 두께와 체중(r=0.551). RBW(r=0.457), BMI(.= 0.478), $R\ddot{o}hrer$ 지수(r=0.418), 견갑골 하부의 피하지방 두께(r=0.433)가 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 여성에서는 대퇴부의 피하지방 두께가 $11.85{\sim}12.15mm$로 가장 크고 장골위가 $8.79{\sim}9.87mm$9.87mm, 견갑골하부 $6.21{\sim}6.91mm$, 삼두박근이 $4.80{\sim}4.93mm$이며, 대퇴부의 피하지방 두께가 RBW(r=0.339), BMI(r=0.347), $R\ddot{o}hrer$ 지수(r=0.330)와 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 남성의 경우 삼두박근의 피하지방 두께가 RBW, BMI, $R\ddot{o}hrer$지수와 상관관계가 있었고, 장골위의 피하지방 두께는 RBW, BMI, $R\ddot{o}hrer$ 지수외에 체중과도 상관관계가 있었으므로 초음파를 이용한 피하지방측정은, 남성은 장골위가 가장 유용함을 알 수 있었고, 여성의 경우는 대퇴부의 피하지방 두께가 RBW, BMI, $R\ddot{o}hrer$ 지수와 상관관계가 있었으므로 대퇴부의 피하지방 측정이 가장 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 비만 측정에서 초음파 장치는 여러 가지 장점이 있으므로 앞으로 이에 대한 연구가 있어야겠다.

The advanced glycation endproducts receptor (AGER) is a multiligand signal transduction receptor. One of its ligands, S100b molecules activates vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells via its receptor, thus triggering activation of signaling cascades and generation of cytokines and proinflammatory molecules. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc9 is an E2 conjugating enzyme that transfers the activated small ubiquitin-related modifier to protein substrates, and thus it plays a critical role in SUR-Mylation-mediated cellular pathways. Previous studies have shown that both AGE-R and Ubc9 play roles in diverse cellular signaling pathways. However, until recently, little attention has been paid to interactions between AGE-R and Ubc9. In this study, sequence database searches allowed us to identify a potential interaction motif between AGE-R and Ubc9. The subsequent biochemical and molecular biological analysis suggested that there may be specificity in AGE-R and Ubc9 complex signaling in atherosclerosis and cancer cells in a cell-type specific manner. Although the determinant for specificity in AGE-R and Ubc9 complex signaling in cancer cells and atherosclerosis is yet to be determined, this study provides the basis to develop a specific therapeutic application of AGE-R, SURM (small ubiquitin-related modifier)-1, and Ubc9 complex activation pathways in atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer and inflammatory diseases.
