본 연구는 피부에 안전하고 부작용이 없는 식물성 원료를 이용한 항염 소재를 개발하여 피부 진정 및 여드름, 아토피 피부에 적용되어질 수 있는 피부 자극 완화제를 개발하고자 하였다. 이에 따라 전통적으로 염증 질환 치료에 사용되어진 오동나무(Paulownia coreana Uyeki)를 소재로 하여 오동나무 잎 추출물의 항산화 효능과 항염 효능을 알아봄으로써 화장품 원료로의 가능성을 확인하였다. EPR을 이용하여 오동나무 잎 추출물의 superoxide anion radical 소거능을 확인하였으며 대식세포주에서의 LPS 처리에 의해 유도되어지는 NO의 생성을 저해시키는 효능을 확인하였다. 그 결과 추출물의 우수한 NO 생성 저해능을 확인하여 오동나무 잎 추출물의 항염 효능 메카니즘을 규명하였다. ELISA 기법을 이용하여 $PGE_2$ 생성 억제 효능을 확인하였으며 NO와 $PGE_2$ 생성 단백질인 iNOS와 COX-2의 발현 여부를 확인한 결과 오동나무 잎 추출물 처리에 의해 두 단백질의 발현이 확연히 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 염증 반응의 초기 단계에 관여하는 $IkB-{\alpha}$ 단백질의 분해정도를 시간별로 확인한 결과 LPS 처리 30 min 후 $IkB-{\alpha}$ 단백질의 분해가 일어나게 되는데 오동나무 잎 추출물을 함께 처리하였을 경우 시간이 경과되어도 $IkB-{\alpha}$ 단백질의 분해가 일어나지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 이로써 오동나무 잎 추출물의 항염 효능은 염증 반응 신호 전달의 초기 단계에 해당하는 $IkB-{\alpha}$ 단백질의 분해를 억제함으로써 결과적으로 NO와 $PGE_2$의 생성을 감소시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 CCD-986sk와 Raw 264.7 세포에 대한 세포 독성이 존재하지 않음을 확인함으로써 오동나무 잎의 항염 효능을 이용한 피부 자극완화제로서의 개발 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 넓패 에탄올 추출물의 항염증 효과를 알아보기 위해 RAW 264.7 세포에 LPS로 유도된 염증 반응 in vitro 및 in vivo 실험을 실시하였다. RAW 264.7 세포에 LPS와 함께 세포를 배양하였다. 먼저 MTT assay 실험을 통해 넓패 에탄올 추출물이 모든 농도(0.1, 1, 10, 50, $100{\mu}g/mL$)에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 것을 학인 하였다. 또한 모든 농도에서 염증억제 효과를 살펴 본 결과, LPS 처리구는 iNOS, COX-2, NF-${\kappa}B$ 그리고 MAPKs의 발현양을 증가 시켰으나, 넓패 에탄올 추출물의 경우 염증 반응에 관여하는 전사인자인 NF-${\kappa}B$와 MAPKs의 활성을 억제함으로써 항염증 효과를 나타내었다. 마지막으로 넓패 에탄올 추출물의 mast cell의 피부 조직학적 변화를 알아본 결과, control의 경우 진피와 경피의 면적이 확장 되어있고, mast cell의 침윤이 정상 군에 비하여 현저하게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 넓패 에탄올 추출물의 경우 대조군에 비해 진피와 경피의 두께가 줄었으며 mast cell의 침윤감소에 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 모든 결과를 종합하였을 때 넓패 에탄올 추출물이 항염증 치료제 뿐만 아니라 더 나아가 항염증에 유용한 기능성 식품소재로써 가치가 높다고 사료된다.

Botulinum toxins are the most potent toxins known to mankind. Botulinum toxin acts by blocking the cholinergic neuromuscular or the cholinergic autonomic innervation of exocrine glands and smooth muscles. Seven distinct antigenic botulinum toxins (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) produced by different strains of Clostridium botulinum have been described and only A and B type of botulinum toxins were clinically used. Toxins were consisted of a heavy chain with a molecular weight of 100 kD and a light chain with a molecular weight of 50 kD. Toxins are bound with an astounding selectivity to glycoprotein structures located on the cholinergic nerve terminal. Subsequently light chain of toxin is internalized and cleaves different proteins of the acetylcholine transport protein cascade transporting the acetylcholine vesicle from the intracellular space into the synaptic cleft. After a decade of therapeutic application of the toxin, no anaphylaxis or deaths have been reported and systemic adverse effects have not been reported so far. However the toxin's immunologic properties can lead to the stimulation of antibody production, potentially rendering further treatments ineffective. Botulinum toxin is a safe and effective treatment. Use of botulinum toxin in clinical medicine has grown exponentially in recent years, and many parts of the human body are now being targeted for therapeutic purposes.

Hisardale male lambs (n=24, 4-5 month of age) were maintained on a conventional ration for a month, to equilibrate the body mineral status. Six lambs were sacrificed after one month of feeding; the samples of organs were analyzed to ascertain mineral status. The remaining 18 lambs were divided into 3 groups of 6 each on body weight basis. Three dietary treatments containing 100 ($T_1$), 110 ($T_2$) and 120% ($T_3$) of minerals (Ca, P, S, Zn and Mn) as specified by NRC (1985) were formulated and each treatment was alloted ad libitum to a group for 120 days. Blood and wool samples were collected at monthly intervals. At the end of the experiment a balance trial of 5 days duration was conducted to study the balance of mineral elements. The effective intake of minerals was Ca, 111 and 120, P, 110 and 122; S, 112 and 129; Zn, 112 and 126 and Mn, 109 and 123 percent in $T_2$ and $T_3$, respectively, in comparison to $T_1$ (100). The additional mineral supplementation had no significant effect on dry matter intake. The average daily weight gain was higher (p<0.01) in $T_2$ and $T_3$ than the control ($T_1$). The lambs under treatments $T_2$ (8.72) and $T_3$ (8.47 kg) consumed apparently lesser amount of dry matter per unit gain as compared to $T_1$ (10.81 kg). Significantly higher (p<0.05) dry matter and crude protein digestibility (%) were observed in $T_2$ and $T_3$ than in $T_1$. The mean balances for different elements were Ca, 1.14, 1.68 and 1.67 g; P, 1.70, 1.95 and 2.18 g; S, 0.54, 0.92 and 1.11 g; Zn, 22.56, 25.30 and 28.71 mg; Cu, 7.94, 5.71 and 5.53 mg; Fe, 33.19, 32.94 and 31.03 mg and Mn, 8.24, 14.40 and 16.07 mg/lamb/day. The retention of supplemental minerals increased (p<0.01) while that of Cu decreased (p<0.01) due to supplementation of minerals (Ca, P, S, Zn and Mn). Retention as per cent of intake increased statistically for S and Mn while that of Cu decreased. It can be concluded that supplementation of minerals (Ca, P, S, Zn and Mn) higher than the recommended level improved body weight gain and feed to gain ratio. The retention of minerals increased due to supplementation. Therefore, an additional supplementation of deficient minerals (Ca, P, S, Zn and Mn) by 10% was beneficial for Hisardale male lambs under tropical condition in India.

The present study investigated the nutritional and economic suitability of cashew reject meal (full fat and defatted) as replacement for groundnut cake (GNC) in the diets of laying chickens. A total of eighty four brown shavers at 25 weeks of age were randomly allotted into seven dietary treatments each containing 6 replicates of 2 birds each. The seven diets prepared included diet 1, a control with GNC at $220gkg^{-1}$ as main protein source in the diet. Diets 2, 3 and 4 consist of gradual replacement of GNC with defatted cashew reject meal (DCRM) at 50%, 75% and 100% on weight for weight basis respectively while diets 5, 6 and 7 consist of gradual inclusion of full fat cashew reject meal (FCRM) to replace 25%, 35% and 50% of GNC protein respectively. Each group was allotted a diet in a completely randomized design in a study that lasted eight weeks during which records of the chemical constituent of the test ingredients, performance characteristics, egg quality traits and economic indicators were measured. Results showed that the crude protein were 22.10 and 35.4% for FCRM and DCRM respectively. Gross energy of DCRM was 5035 kcal/kg compared to GNC, 4752 kcal/kg. Result of aflatoxin $B_1$ revealed moderate level between 10 and $17{\mu}g/Kg$ in DCRM and GNC samples respectively. Birds on control gained 10 g, while those on DCRM and FCRM gained about 35 g and 120 g respectively. Feed intake declined (P < 0.05) with increased level of FCRM. Hen day production was highest in birds fed DCRM, followed by control and lowest value (P < 0.05) was recorded for FCRM. No significant change (P > 0.05) was observed for egg weight and shell thickness. Fat deposition and cholesterol content increased (P > 0.05) with increasing level of FCRM. The cost of feed per kilogram decreased gradually with increased inclusion level of CRM. The prediction equation showed the relative worth of DCRM compared to GNC was 92.3% whereas the actual market price of GNC triples that of DCRM. It was recommended that GNC could be completely replaced by DCRM in layer's diets in regions where this by product is abundant. However, FCRM should be cautiously used in diets of laying chickens.

Background and Objectives : Nitric oxide(NO) is a short-lived molecule with messenger and cytotoxic functions in nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Among the three distinct NOS isoforms, the neuronal isoform is expressed in small, discrete neuronal populations of CNS and PNS. Axonal injury in adult animals results in a dramatic NOS up-regulation in many types of central and peripheral neurons which normally lack the enzyme or express it only at very low levels. In previous study, we confirmed the efficacy of PEMS on the early functional recovery in rats with surgically transected and reanastomosed recurrent laryngeal nerve. Therefore, after we obtained functionally recovered rats using PEMS in this study, we studied to evaluate the expression of nNOS through the analysis of the difference between functional recovery group and non-recovery group in the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Materials and Method : Using 84 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, transections and primary anastomosis were performed on their left recurrent laryngeal nerves. Rats were then randomly assigned to 2 groups. The rats in group A(n=42) received PEMS by placing them in custom cages equipped with Helm-holz coils(3 hr/day, 5 days/wk, for 12 wk). The rats in group B(n=42) were handled the same way as the group A, except that they did not receive PEMS. Laryngovideoendoscopy was performed before and after surgery and followed up weekly. Laryngeal EMG was obtained in both PCA and TA muscles. Immunohistochemisty staining using monoclonal anti-neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) antibody was performed to detect nNOS in recurrent laryngeal nerve and nodose ganglion. Results : 20 rats(63%) in group A and 5 rats(17%) in the group B showed recovery of vocal fo1d motion. The number of NOS-positive cells was increased in functionally-recovered rats. NOS-staining intensity was reduced 12 weeks after nerve injury. The difference between PEMS group and non-stimulated group was not found. Conclusion : This study shows that nNOS may exert a beneficial effect on nerve regeneration and functional repair.
