The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. As a result, there is a growing interest towards various materials to relieve stress. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the anti-stress effects of ethanol extract of Ziziphus jujuba in PC12 cells treated with corticosterone and its underling mechanisms. Furthermore, the viability of the cells, the apoptosis of the cells, the level of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (p-ERKs) expression were measured by MTT assay, LDH assay, Hoechst staining assay and western blotting. Our results showed that the extract of Ziziphus jujuba reversed corticosterone-induced damage in PC12 cells, which increased cell viability, decreased LDH release, and attenuated corticosterone-induced apoptosis as compared with the corticosterone-treated group. Therefore, these data suggest that the extract of Ziziphus jujuba could be a good candidate for development as a functional food supplement in the improve the anti-stress effect.

An UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS analytical method was developed for cyclopeptide alkaloids in the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae), which is a commonly used herb in Chinese and Korean traditional medicines. Considering the basicity of cyclopeptide alkaloids, a specific separation method was developed for an UHPLC system. The compounds were detected by DAD and ESI-qTOF-MS, and their fragmentation patterns were also acquired by MS^E technologies. Peak-picking of major compounds was performed with nine previously isolated compounds and two reference standard compounds. Tandem MS fragmentation behaviors of type-Ia and -Ib cyclopeptide alkaloids were investigated with the acquired data to develop a strategy for dereplication of other cyclopeptide alkaloid compounds in Z. jujuba var. spinosa. Two more cyclopeptide alkaloids were tentatively identified with UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS using this method.

Ziziphus jujuba Mill. (ZJM), a traditional folk medicine and functional food in South Korea and China, has been reported to having pharmacological activities against anti-cancer, anti-oxidative, and anti-obesity. However, the effect of ZJM related to myoblast differentiation has not been known. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanism of ZJM on myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells. ZJM promotes myogenic differentiation and elevates the formation of multinucleated myotube compared to the control group. ZJM significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of MyHC1, myogenin and MyoD in dose- and time-dependent manner. Interestingly, ZJM significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of protein degradation markers, atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, in dose- and time-dependent manner. Taken together, our data suggest that ZJM is a potential functional candidate for muscle growth and strength by promoting myogenic differentiation.

This study was to investigated optimum preparation conditions for Gugija Heukimja jook by response surface methodology (RSM). The important materials used for the Gugija Heukimja product were Lycium chinese, Seasamum indicum L., Ziziphus jujuba Mill. and rice. Moisture content, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and crude fiber content were 15.62, 16.60, 13.62, 4.93 and 11.17% for Lycium chinese, 3.62, 20.94, 43.56, 5.67 and 10.72% for Seasamum indicum L., 24.12, 5.38, 0.73, 2.30 and 1.25% for Ziziphus jujuba Mill., and 12.36, 6.98, 0.46, 0.43 and 0.41% for rice, respectively. Optimal extraction conditions of brix, color, pH and total acidity in the materials for Gugija Heukimja jook were temperature $80^{\circ}C$, water volume 850 mL and extraction time of 63 min. The spreadability of jook with Lycium chinese and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts was the highest when black sesame was 12 g pH was the lowest when black sesame was 9 g. PH showed a significant difference when the added black sesame ratio changed. The 'value L' of chromaticity was lower with an increase of the black sesame ratio, 'value a' was higher with an increase of the black sesame ratio, 'value b' was lower with an increase of the black sesame ratio. Brix was lower when black sesame in jook was added. Total acidity was highest (7.27%) when black sesame was 12 g. The degree of gelatinization tended to be lower with additional black sesame. Higher scores of sensory evaluation were found for the product containing 9 g black sesame with Lycii furctus and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts ompared to the other samples with 3 and 6g. No significant difference in taste occurred for Gugija Heukimja jook prepared with over 9 g black sesame, while a great difference showed in color, pH and total acid. Therefore, the Gugija Heukimja jook prepared under the optimal conditions of 9 g black sesame with Lycium chinese and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts exhibited higher qualities. Gugija Heukimja jook can use the easier for Yacksun jook. It is expected to become functional in the product's development.

Ziziphus jujuba (ZJ) fruit is rich in bioactive functional components such as polysaccharides, triterpenoid acid, flavonoids and oleamide. It has been commonly used in the treatment of various diseases including diabetes, digestive disorders, diarrhea, skin infections, liver and urinary diseases. However, its dietary effect on chemoprevention of colon cancer has never been studied. The present study was to evaluate the protective effects of dietary ZJ on colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis in azoxymethane (AOM)-dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-treated mice. AOM was injected (10 mg/kg b.wt., i.p.) and three cycles of 2% DSS in drinking water for 7 days with 14 days of normal drinking water in-between was administered to induce colitis-associated colon cancer. ZJ fruit was supplemented in feed as 5 and 10%. Dietary ZJ significantly attenuated aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formation thereby decreasing the progression of hyperplasia to dysplasia. In addition, it significantly reduced circulating white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils and platelets compared to colon cancer mice. We conclude that ZJ supplementation delayed the progression of colon cancer from hyperplasia to dysplasia and ultimately adenocarcinoma and cancer. In addition, it decreased circulating tumor-related leucocytes, main regulators of cancer inflammation. Therefore, dietary consumption of ZJ fruit attenuated the formation of ACF and delayed the progression of colon cancer.

본 연구는 충청북도농업기술원 대추연구소에서 보유 중인 대추 유전자원 중 형태적 다형성을 나타내는 '일본'과 주요 대추 유전자원의 형태형질을 조사하고, 대추 육종 소재로서 '일본'의 가능성을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. '일본'은 주요 대추 유전자원과 비교하여 엽과 과실의 크기가 뚜렷하게 작고 당도가 낮았다. 하지만 과실에 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았으며, 항산화 능력 또한 가장 높았다. 또한 '일본'은 종자형성능이 가장 높았다. 대추 유전자원들의 형태형질을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 지리적 기원에 따라 유전자원들이 분류되었다. 특히 '일본'은 한국 및 중국 유전자원들과 명확히 구분되었다. 따라서 종자형성능이 우수하고 기능성 성분이 높은 '일본'은 추후 대추 유전연구 및 교배육종을 통한 품종 육성에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

PG has been well studied about effects of stress resistance. Although ZJ has been known that it had stress resistance effect since ancient times, its pharmacological properties and clinical applications have not been studied and reported until recently. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether effects of stress hormones, mechanism of stress protein could be induced by PG and ZJ of herb extract ingestion during stress exposure. In addition, this study identified expression of apoptosis factors related to stress. 1) Bcl-2 expression of the stressed rats decreased in comparison with the unstressed rats in heart and stomach. Bcl-2 expression of rats administered to PG was higher than the stressed rats in heart and that of rats administered to ZJ was higher than the stressed rats in stomach. 2) Stressed rats were decreased in p53 protein expression than normal rats. Thus, the results suggest stress-induced apoptosis is p53-independent apoptosis. And these results demonstrated that PG or ZJ administration helped to return from stress state to normal. 3) Clusterin expressed markedly in only salivary gland, but that of expression was no difference among four groups in tissues. Clusterin expression has no relation of stress-induced apoptosis.

대추나무는 갈매나무과에 속하며 과실에 높은 영양가를 지니고 있어 전통 한의학에서 널리 사용되고 있는 경제적으로 중요한 종이다. 국내에서 재배되고 있는 대추나무들의 품종실태를 파악함으로서 우량개체 선발과 육종계획 수립에 유용한 유전정보를 얻고자 보은, 경산 등 대추 주산지 6곳에서 수집된 대추나무 270개체를 대상으로 ISSR 표지 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 유전적 다양성을 보여주는 S.I.값은 0.107, 유전적 유사도는 0.935로 높게 나타나 연구에 사용된 대추나무들이 특정 품종 또는 개체에 편중되어 있었다. 또한 270개체 중 67%인 180개체가 '복조'와 동일한 유전자형을 나타내는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 국내 재배 대추나무 개체들의 유전적 다양성이 매우 낮은 것으로 파악되었다. 이에 외부 교란에 취약할 가능성이 큰 것으로 예상되며, 시장에 판매되고 있는 대부분의 대추가 단위결실을 통해 생산되는 것으로 판단된다.
