We investigated the effect of zinc on the formation of colonic aberrant crypt foci induced by azoxymethane (AOM) followed by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice with high iron diet (HFe; 450 ppm iron). Sixweek old ICR mice were fed on high iron diets with combination of three different levels of zinc in diets, low-zinc (LZn; 0.01 ppm), medium-zinc (MZn; 0.1 ppm), and high-zinc (HZn; 1 ppm) for 12 weeks. Animals were received weekly intraperitoneal injections of AOM (10 mg/kg B.W. in saline) for 3 weeks followed by 2% DSS (molecular weight 36,000~50,000) in the drinking water for a week. To confirm the iron storage in the body, the hepatic iron concentration has been determine chemically and compared with histological assessment visualized by Prussian blue reaction. Aberrant crypt (AC) and aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were analyzed in the colonic mucosa of mouse fed high dietary iron. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) level were also investigated. Apoptosis in the preneoplastic lesion was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nickend labeling (TUNEL). In addition, immunohistochemistry of ${\beta}$-catenin was also performed on the mucous membrane of colon. The number of large ACF (${\geq}4$ AC/ACF), which possess greater tumorigenic potential, was significantly lower in MZn and HZn groups compared with LZn group. Cytosolic SOD activity in the liver was significantly higher in HZn group compared with LZn group. Hepatic MDA level was decreased significantly in HZn group compared with MZn and LZn groups. Apoptotic index was significantly higher in HZn group. Taken together, these findings indicate that dietary zinc might exert a protective effect against colonic preneoplastic lesion induced by AOM/DSS in ICR mice with high iron status, and suggest that dietary supplement of zinc might play a role in suppressing colon carcinogenesis in mice.

열안정성 inulinase를 분비하는 Penicillium sp.를 돼지 감자 서식지의 토양으로부터 분리하여 이 균주의 inulinase를 50%-80% 염석, DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, Toyopearl HW 65 F column chromatography에 의해 정제하여 inulinase 활성을 가진 단일 band를 얻었다. 이 band의 단백질을 polya-cryamide gel electrophoresis 후 추출하여 inulinase 활성을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 단백질의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE에 의해 약 77,000 dalton으로 추정되었고, 최종 정제도는 53.3배이었다. 정제된 효소의 효소학적 성질을 조사한 결과, 최적온도는 약 6$0^{\circ}C$이었고, 열 안정성은 30-5$0^{\circ}C$에서 비교적 안정하였다. pH 4에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈으며, pH 4-5에서는 비교적 안정했고 염기성에서는 아주 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 금속이온과 다른 화학물질의 영향을 조사한 결과 1mM의 $MnCl_2$와 $CaCl_2$에 의해 활성이 증가했으며 특히, $MnCl_2$는 1.7배까지 활성을 증가시켰다. 그러나, 1mM의 $CuCl_2$,$HgCl_2$와 1mM EDTA 시에는 활성이 저해되었다. TLC분석결과 모든 산물이 monosaccharide였으므로 이 효소는 exo-acting inu-linase로 추정되었고, inulin에 대한 이 효소의 $K_M$치는 $2.2\times10^{-3}$이었다. 이 효소의 결정된 N-terminal 아미노산 배열은 $NH_2$-X-Glu-Tyr-Thr-Glu-Lys/Leu-Tyr-Arg-Pro이다.

The proteins of the ruminant erythrocyte membranes were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and their relations to the slow erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) of the ruminants were investigated by treating the erythrocytes with proteinases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin and pronase, and glycosidases such as neuraminidase and galactosidase. Protein content in the erythrocyte membrane was $2.85{\pm}0.28$ in human, $3.60{\pm}0.41$ in Korean cattle, $3.71{\pm}0.36$ in Holstein, $4.13{\pm}0.83$ in Korean native goat and $3.94{\pm}0.56mg/ml$ in sheep, showing higher in ruminant animals than in human(p<0.01). Although the general protein profiles of the ruminant erythrocyte membranes were almost similar to that of human, all the ruminant erythrocyte membranes showed one additional protein band, called band-Q in the previous report on proteins of bovine erythrocyte membrane, which migrated electrophoretically to the mid position between band-2 and band-3 in human erythrocyte membranes. The glycoprotein profiles of ruminant erythrocyte membranes revealed by periodic acid Schiff(PAS) stain showed a marked difference from that of human. The PAS-1(glycophorin) and PAS-2(sialoglycogrotein) present in human erythrocyte membranes were almost absent from the ruminant animals. Instead, a strong PAS-positive band near the origin of the electrophorograms, which was named as PAS-B in the previous report on proteins of bovine erythrocyte membranes, was shown in the ruminant animals except sheep. In addition, the erythrocyte membranes of Korean native goat and sheep showed a moderate PAS-negative band near the tracking dye of the electrophorograms, which was named as PAS-G in this study. In the erythrocyte treated with the enzymes, the migration of each protein fracture of erythrocyte membranes in response to each enzyme was diverse according to different species or breed of ruminant animals. Among others, band-Q present in ruminants was slightly or moderately decreased by trypsin-, chymotrypsin-, and pronase- treatments of the erythrocytes, but not only in sheep. It was particularly noticeable that PAS-B, a fraction of glycoprotein, present in ruminants except sheep, was better digested by proteinases than by glycosidases, showing remarkable increase(p<0.01) of the ESR in accord with complete digestion(disappearance) of the PAS-B band by pronase, trypsin or chymotrypsin treatment of erythrocytes. In sheep, there was almost no any response to the various enzymes in general protein and glycoprotein profiles of the erythrocyte membranes except PAS-G, which was markedly decreased by pronase treatment of the erythrocytes. Nevertheless, the ESRs were accelerated in erythrocytes treated with pronase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and neuraminidase. Erythrocyte osmotic fragility was increased in erythrocytes treated with only pronase among five enzymes in all the human and ruminant animals used in this study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gamma irradiation (${\gamma}$-irradiation) at doses of 15, 30 and 45 kGy on chemical composition, anti-nutritional factors, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradibility, in vitro CP digestibility and to monitor the fate of true proteins of full-fat soybean (SB) in the rumen. Nylon bags of untreated or ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB were suspended in the rumens of three ruminally-fistulated bulls for up to 48 h and resulting data were fitted to a nonlinear degradation model to calculate degradation parameters of DM and CP. Proteins of untreated and treated SB bag residues were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Digestibility of rumen undegraded CP was estimated using the three-step in vitro procedure. The chemical composition of raw and irradiated soybeans was similar. Results showed that phytic acid in ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB at dose of 30 kGy was eliminated completely. The trypsin inhibitor activity of 15, 30 and 45 kGy ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB was decreased (p<0.01) by 18.4, 55.5 and 63.5%, respectively. From in sacco results, ${\gamma}$-irradiation decreased (p<0.05) the washout fractions of DM and CP at doses of 30 and 45 kGy, but increased (p<0.05) the potentially degradable fractions. Gamma irradiation at doses of 15, 30 and 45 kGy decreased (p<0.05) effective degradability of CP at a rumen outflow rate of 0.05 $h^{-1}$ by 4.4, 14.4 and 26.5%, respectively. On the contrary, digestibility of ruminally undegraded CP of irradiated SB at doses of 30 and 45 kGy was improved (p<0.05) by 12 and 28%, respectively. Electrophoretic analysis of untreated soybean proteins incubated in the rumen revealed that ${\beta}$-conglycinin subunits had disappeared at 2 h of incubation time, whereas the subunits of glycinin were more resistant to degradation until 16 h of incubation. From the SDS-PAGE patterns, acidic subunits of 15, 30 and 45 kGy ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB disappeared after 8, 8 and 16 h of incubation, respectively, while the basic subunits of glycinin were not degraded completely until 24, 48 and 48 h of incubation, respectively. It was concluded that ${\gamma}$-irradiated soybean proteins at doses higher than 15 kGy could be effectively protected from ruminal degradation.

수직관내 발달 유동의 층류혼합대류에 관한 본 연구는 Re 1,000에서 3,000, $Gr_H\;10^5$에서 $10^8$, Pr 2,000 에서 7,000 그리고 종횡비 1부터 7에 대한 범위에 대해서 수행되었다. 유사성(Analogy)의 원리를 이용하여 수직관내 발달 유동의 층류혼합대류 열전달계를 물질전달계로 모사하였다. 물질전달계로써 Nu 수는 기존의 문헌들의 그것들보다 상당히 큰 값이었는데, 이는 본 실험의 높은 Pr 수 때문이다. 본 연구에서의 종횡비는 완전발달 할 만큼 크지 않았기 때문에, 실험 결과는 긴 수직관내 혼합대류 유동보단 평행평판에서의 혼합대류 유동과 유사하였다. 본 연구의 결론으로서 낮은 종횡비와 $Gr_H$ 수를 갖는 수직관내 발달 유동의 층류혼합대류 유동은 수직 평판에서의 층류혼합대류 유동과 유사한 거동을 보인다는 것이다. 그리고 종횡비와 $Gr_H$ 수가 증가할 때 유체의 거동은 수직관내 완전발달 유동과 유사한 현상을 보였다.

전기로와 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 황철석 시료에 대하여 광물학적 상변화를 파악하고 Fe 최대 용출 인자들을 결정하고자 하였다. 전기로에 노출시킨 시료에서 적철석으로 구성된 가장자리 구조가 나타난 반면에 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 시료는 적철석과 자류철석이 가장자리 구조로 나타났다. 특히 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 시료는 결정 내부에 아크방전에 의하여 수많은 크랙들이 서로 연결되어 형성되었지만 전기로에 노출시킨 시료는 크랙이 형성되지 않았다. XRD 분석에서, 전기로에 노출시킨 시료는 황철석과 적철석이 나타났지만 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 시료는 황철석, 적철석 및 자류철석이 나타났다. 황철석 시료에 대하여 암모니아 용출실험을 수행하여 Fe 용출률이 최대로 나타나는 인자들은 -325 mesh 입도, 2.0 M의 황산, 1.5 M의 황산암모늄, 1.0 M의 과산화수소 농도에서였다. 용출률이 최대로 나타나는 인자들을 전기로에 그리고 마이크로웨이브 노출 시료에 각각 적용한 결과 전기로 보다 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 시료에서 Fe 용출률이 더 많이 그리고 더 빠른 시간에 나타났다. 따라서 산업광물에 포함된 Fe 제거에 혹은 금을 함유하는 황철석 분해에 마이크로웨이브 가열이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

A, B and C dilutors were used to make Ka (A plus B (1 : 1)) and Na (B plus C(1 : 1)) dilutors in this experiment. Three aliqots of semen were respectivly diluted 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 (semen: dilutor) with Ka, Na and C dilutors and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days in order to study their livability during storage. Fertility was checked for the diluted semen with Ka, Na and C dilutors. Whole semen and extended semen with Na dilutos with and without DMSO were cold shocked at various temperatures for 10 min. Effects of different 1st and 2nd dilution with A, B, C and Na dilutors and of vessels on freezability of spermatozoa were investigtigated. 1. Extended semen 1 : 2 with Na and C dilutors showed highest live sperm index during storage for 7 days at 5$^{\circ}C$. 2. The components of Na dilutor per 100$m\ell$ were skim milk 2.5g, trisaminomethane 0.54g, citric acid 0.265g, glucose 2.835g, fructose 1.5g, sodium lauryl sulfate, 0.08g, penicillin 0.06g, streptomycin 0.075g, and egg yolk 10$m\ell$. 3. Fertility of diluted semen was higher than that of whole semen. Ka dilutor showed higher fertility than Na and C dilutors, and there was no difference in the fertility between Na and C dilutors. 4. Na dilutor with DMSO showed slightly higher livability than Na dilutor without DMSO during storage for 7 days at 5$^{\circ}C$. 5. Cold shock at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. decreased greatly the sperm livalility of whole semen but not of extended semen with Na dilutor. Addition of DMSO to Na dilutor has no effect in prevention of cold shock. 6. The extended semen with C. C dilutor (1st and 2nd dilution with C and C dilutor) showed higher post-thawing sperm livability than A.A and Na. B dilutors. Na. B dilution shwed higher post-thawing sperm livability than A.A dilution. There was no difference in the post-thawing livability between semen in 1$m\ell$ straw and 10$m\ell$ aluminium package.

원자력발전소 중대사고시 노심용융물의 Rayleigh-Benard 자연대류 문제에 대한 예비실험으로 두 평판 사이의 거리, 측면벽의 유무 및 평판의 기하구조가 열전달에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 열전달 실험을 대신하여 상사성의 원리를 이용한 황산-황산구리 수용액의 전기도금계를 물질전달계로 채택하였다. 실험은 $Ra_s$는 $1.06{\times}10^7{\sim}2.91{\times}10^{10}$의 범위에서 실험적 조건을 변화시켜가며 열전달을 측정하였다. 실험결과 단일 수평평판에서 측정한 열전달은 McAdams의 수평평판 자연대류 열전달 상관식과 일치하였고 두 평판에서 측정한 열전달은 Dropkin과 Somerscales, Globe와 Dropkin의 Rayleigh-Benard 자연대류 열전달 상관식과 매우 유사한 경향을 보였다. 두 평판 사이의 거리가 작을 경우 열전달이 높다가 거리가 증가하면 단일 수평평판에서의 자연대류 열전달과 같아졌다. 평판에 설치된 휜(Fin)은 열전달을 향상시켰다. 모든 경우에서 측면벽이 없는 경우의 열전달이 측면 벽이 있는 경우보다 항상 높았다.

The proteins of the bovine erythrocyte membrane were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and their relations to the slow sedimentation rate of bovine erythrocytes were investigated by treating the erythrocytes with trypsin. The erythrocyte sedimentation rates of bovine erythrocytes from Holstein and Korean native cattle were very slow compared with the human one (1/7 as slow as the human one) as reported previously. However, when human and Holstein erythrocytes were treated with trypsin (0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml) for 1 hour at ${37^{\circ}C}$, their sedimentation rates were markedly accelerated while the sedimentation rate of Korean native cattle's erythrocytes were not affected. Although the general protein profiles of the bovine erythrocyte membranes were almost similar to that of human, bovine erythrocyte membranes showed one additional protein band, called band Q in this study, which migrated electrophoretically to the mid-position between band 2 and band 3 in human erythrocyte membranes. Treatment of Holstein and human erythrocytes with trypsin caused a decrease or disapperance of the band Q from the erythrocyte membrane. Although the band Q in Korean native cattle's erythroyte membrane was decreased by trypsin treatment of the erythrocytes, the magnitude of the decrement was not so pronounced as in the case of human and Holstein erythrocytes. The glycoprotein profiles of the bovine erythrocyte membranes revealed by periodic acid-Schiff stain showed a marked difference from that of human. The PAS-1 (glycophorin) and PAS-2 (sialoglycoprotein) present in human erythrocyte membrane were almost absent from the bovine erythrocyte membranes. Instead, the bovine erythrocyte membranes showed a strong PAS-positive band near the origin of the electrophorograms, which is named as PAS-B in this study. The PAS-B band was disappered completely by the trypsin treatment of Holstein erythrocytes whereas the PAS-B band in Korean native cattle's erythrocyte membrane still remained after the trypsin treatment. The trypsin treatment of Korean native cattle's erythrocytes, however, led to the appearance of small molecular weight peptides, indicating that the high molecular weight glycoproteins were degraded by trypsin as in human and Holstein ones. These results suggest that the slow sedimentation rate of bovine erythrocytes is due in part to the presence of band Q protein fraction and PAS-B glycoprotein in the bovine erythrocytes.
