To reduce salt content and enhance calcium in chicken patty, shell calcium powder (SCP) was added, and transglutaminase (TG) was included to improve its properties. Five different treatments were prepared to assess the effects: CON (2% salt), T1 (0.75% salt + 0.2% SCP), T2 (0.75% salt + 0.2% SCP + 0.2% TG), T3 (0.5% salt + 0.4% SCP), and T4 (0.5% salt + 0.4% SCP + 0.2% TG). Reducing salt led to decreased ash content and increased cooking loss. The addition of SCP and TG raised pH levels. Meat color remained consistent with different salt, SCP, and TG levels. However, when salt was reduced to 0.5% and SCP was added at 0.4% without TG, the patty's hardness and chewiness decreased. Sensory evaluations showed reduced juiciness when salt was reduced to 0.5% and SCP was added at 0.4%, but no significant differences were observed in overall acceptability. Salt had no impact on TBARS results, but salt reduction to below 0.5% increased susceptibility to microbial contamination. In summary, reducing salt and adding SCP had minimal sensory impact, but when salt is reduced to 0.5% or lower, consider adding TG. Also, when decreasing salt, additional preservatives should be considered to address potential microbial contamination during manufacturing.

RNA polymerase II carboxyl-terminal domain (pol II CTD) phosphatases are a newly emerging family of phosphatases that are members of DXDX (T/V). The subfamily includes Small CTD phosphatases, like SCP1, SCP2, SCP3, TIMM50, HSPC129 and UBLCP. Extensive study of SCP1 has elicited the diversified roles of the small C terminal domain phosphatase. The SCP1 plays a vital role in various biological activities, like neuronal gene silencing and preferential Ser5 dephosphorylation, acts as a cardiac hypertrophy inducer with the help of its intronic miRNAs, and has shown a key role in cell cycle regulation. This short review offers an explanation of the mechanism of action of small CTD phosphatases, in different biological activities and metabolic processes.

RNA polymerase II carboxyl-terminal domain (RNAPII CTD) phosphatases are responsible for the dephosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of the small subunit of RNAPII in eukaryotes. Recently, we demonstrated the identification of several interacting partners with human small CTD phosphatase1 (hSCP1) and the substrate specificity to delineate an appearance of the dephosphorylation catalyzed by SCP1. In this study, using the established cells for inducibly expressing hSCP1 proteins, we monitored the modification of ${\beta}$-O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). O-GlcNAcylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications (PTMs). To gain insight into the PTM of hSCP1, we used the Western blot, immunoprecipitation, succinylayed wheat germ agglutinin-precipitation, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, and site-directed mutagenesis and identified the $Ser^{41}$ residue of hSCP1 as the O-GlcNAc modification site. These results suggest that hSCP1 may be an O-GlcNAcylated protein in vivo, and its N-terminus may function a possible role in the PTM, providing a scaffold for binding the protein(s).

The SCP girder, which compensates for the shortcomings of conventional girders through the effective composition of concrete, steel, and PS tendon, has recently been developed and applied on real bridges. Developed as a simple-support type, it may be applied on simple-support and continuous bridges by connecting the simple-support SCP girders to the interior supports. A continuous SCP girder, which has structural and cost advantages over the simple-support SCP girder, is proposed in this study. Likewise proposed herein is a new method of constructing a continuous SCP girder, using segments of the girder sequentially. A two-span, half-scale specimen was designed and constructed to verify the propriety of the continuous SCP girder bridge. A static load test was also carried out, using this specimen, to examine the behavior of the continuous SCP girder. Based on the results of the study, it is expected that the continuous bridge that uses the continuous SCP girder can guarantee the structural safety of the simple-support SCP girder.

We have previously observed that feeding with single-cell hemoprotein (heme-SCP) in dogs (1 g/day for 6 days) and broiler chickens (1 ppm for 32 days) increased the proportion of lactic acid bacteria in the gut while reducing their body weights by approximately 1~2%. To define the roles of heme-SCP in modulating body weight and gut microbiota, obese C57BL/6N mice were administered varied heme-SCP concentrations (0, 0.05, and 0.5% heme-SCP in high fat diet) for 28 days. The heme-SCP diet seemed to restrain weight gain till day 14, but the mice gained weight again later, showing no significant differences in weight. However, the heme-SCP-fed mice had stiffer and oilier bodies compared with those of the control mice, which had flabby bodies and dull coats. When mice were dissected at day 10, the obese mice fed with heme-SCP exhibited a reduction in subcutaneous fat with an increase in muscle mass. The effect of heme-SCP on the obesity-associated dyslipidemia tended to be corroborated by the blood parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, and C-reactive protein) at day 10, though the correlation was not clear at day 28. Notably, the heme-SCP diet altered gut microbiota, leading to the proliferation of known anti-obesity biomarkers such as Akkermansia, Alistipes, Oscillibacter, Ruminococcus, Roseburia, and Faecalibacterium. This study suggests the potential of heme-SCP as an anti-obesity supplement, which modulates serum biochemistry and gut microbiota in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to examine the abutment screw stability of screw- and cement-retained implant-supported dental prosthesis (SCP) after simulated cement washout as well as the stability of SCP cements after complete loosening of abutment screws. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six titanium CAD/CAM-made implant prostheses were fabricated on two implants placed in the resin models. Each prosthesis is a two-unit SCP: one screw-retained and the other cemented. After evaluating the passive fit of each prosthesis, all implant prostheses were randomly divided into 3 groups: screwed and cemented SCP (Control), screwed and non-cemented SCP (Group 1), unscrewed and cemented SCP (Group 2). Each prosthesis in Control and Group 1 was screwed and/or cemented, and the preloading reverse torque value (RTV) was evaluated. SCP in Group 2 was screwed and cemented, and then unscrewed (RTV=0) after the cement was set. After cyclic loading was applied, the postloading RTV was measured. RTV loss and decementation ratios were calculated for statistical analysis. RESULTS. There was no significant difference in RTV loss ratio between Control and Group 1 (P=.16). No decemented prosthesis was found among Control and Group 2. CONCLUSION. Within the limits of this in vitro study, the stabilities of SCP abutment screws and cement were not significantly changed after simulated cement washout or screw loosening.

This paper proposes a extended service filtering technique to solve overload control problems inService Con-trol Poin(SCP) due to Televoting (VOT) services with heavy traffic characteristics. Also, this paper compares this new technique with existing IN overload control lechniques, and calculate steady state call blocking probabilities in In under overload conditions. The proposed technique considers SCP overload and IN CS-1services such as VOT service that need to use the specialized resources of IP. This technique uses first an activating step which SCP sends service filtering request to SSP and IP for the start of service filtering. Then, in the filtering step SSP sendas filtering results to SCP periodically or each N-calls.Also,when filtering time-out timer expired or call counter value exceeded maximum number of calls,SSP stops service filtering,and sends ser-vice filteing response to SCP in the deactivating step. The application of this techique to VOT service defined in IN CS-1 service is investigated and analyzed by using an analytical VOT service model.In order to apply this technique to VOT service, this paper also discusses VOT service and the corresponding N architecture including Service Switching Point(SSP),SCP and IP. Then this paper also constructs an analytical VOT service model,and calculates SCP and SSP/IP(circuit)call blocking probablities.With the application of this new technique,this paper shows good performance enhancements in SCP call blocking probability.

A yeast hydrolysate SCP-20 with anti-stress and mitigative effects for premenstrual syndromes (PMS) was composed with crude protein (57.5%) and carbohydrates (28.1%). For the investigation of anti-stress effect in the immobilization stressed rats, the weights of spleen, thyroid and kidney in the group of SCP-20 sdministration were significantly different from those in the group not given SCP-20. Total power (TP), suppression indicator of stress, was obtained from frequency of heart rate variability. TP was changed by the administration of SCP-20 suggesting that SCP-20 has the autonomous nervous control effect. In premenstrual assessment form(PAF), the administration of SCP-20 reduced the intensity of somatic symptoms, emotional symptoms, and behavioral symptoms.

인구적 증가와 사료 가격의 상승으로 인한 육류 제품의 가격이 상승하고 있음은 우리나라를 비롯하여 세계적인 현황이다. 이 문제에 대처하는 한 방법으로 새로운 단백질 급원으로써 Single Cell Protein이 개발되었고 이에 대한 여러가지 연구가 되어지고 있다. Single Cell Protein이 인간에게 식용이 될 동물이나 나아가서는 인간에게 직접 식품으로 사용되기 전에 인체나 동물 체내에 끼칠 영향과 그 안전성을 확인하려는 하나의 노력으로 이 연구가 시도되었다. 동물 체내 대사에 미치는 SCP의 악영향의 주원인은 함유된 독성물질로 보고 그 독성물질이 SCP 생산 및 처리 과정 중 어느 시기에 생겨나는가를 규명해 보고자 하였다. Fermentation을 끝낸 SCP의 Supernatant내에 함유된 Inorganic phosphate(I.P.)의 함량을 측정하여 SCP세포의 Viability를 알아보았다. Fermentation을 끝낸 후 10일까지는 I.P.가 차츰줄다가 40일이 지났을 때에는 I.P.의 증가를 보였으나 직후보다는 낮음을 나타냈다. 또한 냉동 건조시킨 뒤에도 SCP Cell이 살아있음을 보였다. 또한 위와 관련지어서 SCP를 Protein급원으로 써서 사육한 흰쥐에 나타난 Protein Efficiency Ratio(PER)를 통하며 SCP의 질을 평가하였다. 실험결과로 나타난 것을 보면 표준 식이에 사용된 Casein의 PER$(\overline{X}=2.58)$이 SCP의 PER$(Dict 1;\overline{X}=0.888$, $Dict 2;\overline{X}=0.893$, $Dict 3;\overline{X}=0.860)$ 보다 유의적으로 높았다. 그리고 총실험기간의 평균치를 볼 때, Fermentation을 끝내고 3일 후와 6일 후에 냉동 건조시킨 SCP의 PER은 시판되는 SCP의 것과 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리나 후반기에 있어서는 Fermentation을 끝내고 3일과 6일 후에 냉동 건조시킨 SCP의 PER이 시판되는 SCP의 것보다 약간 저조함을 보였다. 그리고 Casein의 PER은 총 사육기간은 통하여 별 변동이 없음에 반하여 후반기에 SCP의 PER이 급격한 저하를 보임은 SCP 사용상의 문제점을 나타낸 것으로 해석 된다.

Objective : SCP-20, a yeast hydrolysate from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has exhibited anti-stress, anti-anxiety, and antidepressant effects in animal studies. The objective of this study was to test the effects of SCP-20 on healthy controls and to assess its effects on stress response, depression and, anxiety. Methods : Sixty-one healthy volunteers (30 male, 31 female) were recruited and screened for significant psychiatric and medical conditions. Baseline measures of stress, anxiety, and depression were taken using questionnaires such as the Stress Response Inventory (SRI), Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), and the physiological measure of heart rate variability (HRV). Each subject was assigned randomly to a group taking capsules containing either 70% SCP-20 (i.e. the SCP70 group), 99.5% SCP-20 (i.e. the SCP99.5 group), or a placebo. Follow up measures were taken at week 4. Results : Subjects taking SCP-20 showed significant improvement in SRI and BAI scores compared to those taking placebo. For BDI scores, there was no significant difference between groups. No significant adverse effects were reported. Conclusions : This study suggests that SCP-20 is effective in alleviating stress and anxiety symptoms in healthy individuals, and has little or no side effects. However, the role of of SCP-20 in alleviating depression needs further clarification. Studiess examining its effects in psychiatric populations are needed to establish its role in alternative medicine.
