The present study was undertaken in investigate the response to salinity and effect of plant growth regulators and proline under salinity stress on the germination and seedling growth of Vigna angularis. The protective effect of external Ca2+ on root elongation under saline conditions was also investigated. The seed germination of Vigna angularis decreased with an increase in salinity. The growth regulators GA3 was more effective than kinetin. At a higher salinity, low concentrations of kinetin and high concentrations of GA3 were more effective. The external application of proline and betaine improved germination under saline conditions. At a low salinity proline and betaine alleviated the salinity-induced inhibition of germination, yet at higher NaCl concentrations, proline and betaine were both ineffective. Exposure to salinity during germination was accompanied by an increase in the proline content, thereby suggesting that one compatible solute in the germinating seed would seem to be proline. The inhibition of germination by high NaCl concentrations was relatively more severe in scarified seeds than in intact seeds, indicating that the seed coat acts as a partial barrier to an Na2+ ameliorated the adverse effect of salinity stress.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to assess anti-depressive effects of Bee Venom(BV) on an Animal Model of Depression induced immobility stress. Methods : There was 2 pre-experiments MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and Western blot test and 3 main experiments ; forced swimming test, tail suspension test and Y-maze task. Male rats were used for main experiment. The subject was divided into 4 groups(1. control group injected only saline, without immobility stress 2. Negative group injected saline after 2 hours immobility stress 3. Positive group injected Amitriptyline after 2 hours immobility stress 4. BV group injected Bee Venom after 2 hours immobility stress). Each group consisted of 6 rats. Forced swimming test, tail suspension test, Y-maze task were used to evaluate anti-depressive effect of Bee Venom. Results : In MTT assay, as the density of BV increased, the existence rate of primary neuronal cell increased. In Western blot test, the density of CREB and AKT was increasing as time went by. In forced swimming test, BV group showed immobility decreased more than Normal group and Positive group. In tail suspension test, Normal group and Positive group showed immobility decreased more than BV group. In Y-maze task, BV group showed immobility decreased more than Normal group, but Positive group showed immobility decreased more than BV group. Conclusions : These results suggest that Bee Venom may have anti-depressive effect on depression.

염 내성 돌연변이체를 선발하기 위하여, ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS)로 처리된 돌연변이 종자 집단을 사용하였다. 150 mM NaCl 고염 스트레스 하에서 종자 발아 내성을 보이는 세 종류의 EMS 돌연변이체를 선발하였다. 세 종류의 EMS 돌연변이체들 중, salt tolerance 42-14(sto42-14) 돌연변이체는 175 mM NaCl 고농도에서 종자 발아율이 대조구(WT)에 비해 7배 이상의 높은 발아율을 보였다. 또한 내염성 sto42-14 돌연변이체는 glucose(Glc)에 대해서도 비감수성을 갖고 있음을 관찰되었고, 흥미롭게도 sto42-14돌연변이체에 $20{\mu}M$ gibberellin(GA)을 처리한 결과, 대조구에 비해 하배축과 뿌리의 생장이 억제됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 고염 내성 sto42-14 돌연변이체는 Glc 뿐만 아니라 GA호르몬 반응에도 관련되어져 있음을 알 수 있다.

이 연구의 목적은 유산균(LAB)의 항스트레스 효과를 알아보기 위함이다. 본 실험에서는 ICR 마우스에게 구속 스트레스를 가하면서 혼합유산균과 홍삼추출물을 경구투여 하였다. 5일간 Normal 그룹을 제외한 saline (control), LAB100, LAB200, RGE200에게 구속 스트레스를 주었다. 구속 스트레스를 가한 후에 ICR 마우스에게 kg당 100 mg ($3.0\times10^{11}$ CFU/g) 또는 200 mg $3.0\times10^{11}$ CFU/g)의 혼합유산균(Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus pentosaseus, Bifidobacterium longum SPM1205)을 투여하였으며 대조물질로는 홍삼 추출물(Red ginseng extract) 200 mg (홍삼추출물)/kg (마우스)을 투여하였다. 마지막 실험일에는 locomotor와 elevated plus-maze 실험을 통하여 마우스의 행동변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 혼합유산균을 투여한 그룹에서는 스트레스를 일부 억제하는 효과를 보였다. 특히 Elevated plus-maze 실험에서, 스트레스를 받은 마우스는 open zone에서보다 closed zone에서 더욱 많은 시간을 보냈다. 그렇지만 혼합유산균을 투여한 그룹에서는 open zone에서 더욱 오래 시간을 보냈으며 그 시간은 saline과 RGE200 그룹에 비해서도 길었다. 그것은 또한 아무것도 처리하지 않은 Normal 그룹과도 비슷한 결과이다. 그리고 마우스의 분변에서 유산균수를 측정하였는데 스트레스를 가하고 혼합유산균은 투여하지 않은 saline 그룹에서는 유산균수가 감소했지만 혼합유산균을 투여한 LAB100, LAB200 그룹에서는 유산균수가 증가하였다.

A CRD experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different exogenous betaine levels (0.000, 0.075, 0.150 and 0.225 percent) on 576 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross) under water salinity stress. Different levels of water salinity were made by adding 3 levels of NaCl (0, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/L) to drinking water. Feed and water were available ad libitum. Betaine increased body weight, improved feed conversion ratio, and decreased packed cell volume (p<0.05). Water salinity promoted body weight over the whole period, increased feed intake (11 to 21 and 29 to 42-d) and also improved feed conversion ratio in grower and finisher periods (p<0.01). Breast weight, water consumption (28-d and 42-d) and excreta moisture (28-d) were increased by elevating the level of water salinity (p<0.01). Interaction between dietary betaine and water salinity was significant on plasma osmolarity as well as epithelial osmolarity of the duodenum at 28-d. Epithelial osmolarity was decreased from duodenum to ileum. The data imply that betaine is involved in the protection of intestinal epithelia against osmotic disturbance which can be caused by saline water, but further research is needed to investigate the effects of betaine with higher levels of water salinity.

$Calotropis$ $procera$ L. is a perennial shrub distributed in saline areas of deserts of South Asia. Salt stress is a very challenging subject in arid and semi-arid areas. Germination stage is very sensitive and many plants do not germinate in saline soil. The objective of this study was identifying the salinity effect on seed germination of $Calotropis$ $procera$ L. The experimental design was a complete randomized block design with NaCl and $CaCl_2$ at five levels of isobar concentrations: 0.0, -0.01, -0.05, -0.1, and -0.15 MPa. Osmotic potential had significant effects ($P$ < 0.01) on germination percentage, germination rate, shoot length, root length, and seedling dry weight. All seedling characteristics decreased with decrease in osmotic potential. Shoot length and root length decreased more than the seedling characteristics. Germination was completely inhibited in -0.1 Mpa. Priming with NaCl and $CaCl_2$ (-0.1 MPa) for four days had significant effects ($P$ < 0.01) on the germination percentages. Priming improved the seedling characteristics in all samples, especially in -0.05 Mpa, but a decrease with decrease in osmotic potential.

This study was conducted to obtain basic information of growth, chlorophyll, and $Na^+\;and\;K^+$ content of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings after transplanting in different NaCl conditions. Plants grown in pots for 8 days after germination were grown for 10 days after transplanting in 50 and 100 mM NaCl concentrations. At higher NaCl concentration, plant height, root length, dry weight and chlorophyll content were reduced with NaCl stress. Among rice cultivars, the shoot dry weight of Gancheokbyeo, Janganbyeo and Hwasungbyeo, and the root dry weight of Janganbyeo, Gancheokbyeo and Juanbyeo showed relatively low reduction compared to the other rice cultivars at 100 mM NaCl stress. The $Na^+$ content in seedling rapidly increased with the increase of NaCl concentration but $K^+$ contents decreased. There was a significant relationship between $Na^+$ content and shoot and root dry weight after transplanting rice seedlings to saline conditions. The shoot and root dry weight showed highly negative relationship with the $Na^+/K^+$ ratio in saline conditions.

This study investigated the effects of vitamin C on oxidative stress induced by volatile anesthetics in pigs. One group of pigs was used as an anesthesia control group (group 1), and they were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen and saline (0.9% NaCl) was injected intravenously. The other group (group 2) was anesthetized with isoflurane and injected intravenously with vitamin C. Total oxidant status, total antioxidant status, and the oxidative stress index in group 2 were significantly different compared with those in group 1. The results showed that intravenous administration of vitamin C decreased oxidative stress during isoflurane anesthesia in pigs.
