Background: This study aimed to provide a basic standard for assessing freshness and acceptability of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Methods: It was divided into whole body and meat and stored at 25 ℃ to evaluate both quality and freshness changes that occur over time. The shelf life of shrimp was estimated as 17 and 20 h for whole body and meat, respectively. Results: In chemical analysis, K-value increased from 9.96 to 12.32% to a maximum of 75.14%, and TVB-N increased from 1.86 mg/100 g to 34.71 mg/100 g. For volatile sulfur compounds, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide increased from 0.00 mg/100 g to 1.10 mg/100 g and 1.26 mg/100 g, respectively, rapidly increasing with decreasing freshness. Conclusion: Changes in all biochemical indicators significantly correlated with the sensory evaluation results. This study contributes to the knowledge about whiteleg shrimp spoilage and freshness, providing a basis for developing methods to improve shrimp quality control and management.

It was recognized that lead intoxication reduces thiamine content in the brain of rat and this change produces the alterations of thiamine-related biochemical reactions. In the present study, it was tested whether the changes of myelin composition as well as seizure threshold induced by lead intoxication in rats may be related to these changes of thiamine status and thiamine related biochemical factors. Wistar rats were divided into five groups: Control group, Lead-treated group, Lead plus Thiamine-treated group, Thiamine-deficient group, Pyrithiamine-treated group. Each group was divided into three subgroups: 3, 7 and 16 week old group. Myelin protein and phospholipid, one of the compositions of myelin lipid, were measured in the myelin isolated from rat brain. Threshold of electric shock seizure was tested in each group. The amount of each myelin composition in lead-treated group and thiamine-deficient group was significantly lower than those of all the brains in control group, but recovery by supplementation with thiamine during lead intoxication was occurred only in the cerebellum of 3 week old animal. Thresholds of the electric shock seizure of lead treated group and thiamine deficient group in 3 and 7 week old rats were significantly lower than those of control group, while those of lead plus thiamine treated group were similar to those of control group.

담배 생육단계별 RNA, protease 활성도와 단백질 패턴의 변화를 파악하여 노화가 진행되는 과정에서 생리 ㆍ생화학적인 변화의 기초자료를 얻고자 본 실험을 수행하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 가용성 단백질 함량은 출엽 후 15일까지 증가하여 출엽 후 35일까지 일정하게 유지하였다. 총 RNA 함량은 출엽 후 15일에 가장 높았으며 출엽후 30일까지 급격한 감소를 보였다. Protease 활성 변화는 중성 protease (pH 7.8)가 활성이 높았으며 노화말기인 출엽 후 50일부터 갑자기 증가하였다. 전기영동 패턴은 큰 변화가 없었으나 61.0kd의 polypeptide은 출엽 후 35일부터 생성되어 노화말기까지 증가하였다.

NHERF ($Na^+/H^+$ exchanger regulatory factor) and E3KARP (NHE3 kinase A regulatory protein) play important roles in membrane targeting, trafficking and sorting of ion channels, transmembrane receptors and signaling proteins in many tissues. Each of these proteins contains two PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg-1/ZO-1) domains, which mediate the assembly of transmembrane and cytosolic proteins into functional signal transduction complexes. The interaction between NHERF and E3KARP was investigated by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (BIAcore), fluorescence measurement, His-tagged pull-down experiment, and size-exclusion column (SEC) chromatography. BIAcore experiments revealed that NHERF bound to E3KARP with an apparent $K_D$ of 7 nM. Fluorescence emission spectra of the NHERF-E3KARP complex suggested that the tight interaction between these proteins was accompanied by significant conformational changes in one or both. The CD spectra of NHERF and E3KARP show that the conformational changes of these proteins were dependent on pH and temperature. These results implicate that the NHERF-E3KARP complex allows intracellular signaling complexes to form through PDZ-PDZ interactions.

This study investigated changes in certain blood parameters in calves and pigs after foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccination. In this study, five calves and five pigs were selected from groups of 10 calves and pigs, respectively, and were vaccinated with an FMD vaccine. The remaining animals formed two non-treatment control groups. Blood samples were collected from all animals on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days post-vaccination. In the FMD-vaccinated calves and pigs on day 7 post-vaccination, white blood cell counts, blood urea nitrogen levels, and alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were higher than those in the respective controls. The present data suggested that the certain hemato-biochemical parameters on cattle and pigs were meaningfully changed between before and after FMD vaccination.

Hematological analysis can provide crucial information for monitoring the health of fish. However, there is no current information available regarding hematological changes in olive flounder following infection by Vibrio scophthalmi. In this study, hematological and biochemical alterations were determined in olive flounder infected by the high virulence strain (HVS) and low virulence strain (LVS) of V. scophthalmi. Survival in serum, skin mucus, and macrophages of olive flounder was also compared between the HVS and LVS. The results demonstrated that the hematocrit value in infected fish declined from 23.4% at 0 h to 18.0% at 168 h post infection. The total protein concentration in fish infected with the HVS was significantly higher than in fish infected with the LVS and a non-infected control. Lysozyme activity was significantly different between infected and control fish. The HVS survived in serum and cell numbers increased substantially, while cell numbers of the LVS in serum decreased. These changes in hematological characteristics in fish infected by V. scophthalmi can be used as an effective and sensitive index to monitor the physiological and pathological conditions of fish. The survival and reproduction of V. scophthalmi in host serum, skin mucus, and macrophages play a major role in systemic infection and can serve as a virulence indicator for different strains.

Changes in biochemical constituents and physiological alteration were studied in various intensities (1-5%, 6-15%, 16-30%, 31-50% and ＞ 50%) of leaf spot (Myrothecium roridum) on mulberry leaves and compared with healthy leaves. Chlorophyll, total soluble sugar and total protein were decreased (P ＜ 0.01), but total phenol increased due to pathogen infection. Changes in biochemical constituents showed significant correlation with intensity of disease. Chlorophyll ($r^2$= 0.92), and protein (($r^2$= 0.83) possessed negative while phenol (($r^2$= 0.61) possessed positive correlation. Photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, moisture content (%) and physiological water use efficiency (pWUE) were decreased, but stomatal resistance increased in the infected leaves. Physiological parameters also possessed significant (P ＜ 0.01) correlation with disease intensity. Photosynthetic rate (($r^2$= 0.96), transpiration rate ($r^2$=0.88), stomatal conductance (($r^2$= = 0.65), physiological water use efficiency (($r^2$= 0.88) and moisture content (r = 0.85) were negatively but stomatal resistance (($r^2$= 0.75) was positively correlated to disease intensities.

Objectives: This study was performed to observe the toxicological changes caused by a single exposure to benzo[a]pyrene. Methods: Based on the results of a preliminary study, 300 mg/kg was set as the middle dose. A highest dose of 2,000 mg/kg and a lowest dose of 50 mg/kg were selected based on GHS guidelines. Benzo[a]pyrene was orally administered once to female and male SD rats at dose levels of 50, 300, and 2,000 mg/kg(body weight). All animals were monitored daily for clinical signs and mortality over 14 days. Hematological and biochemical values were examined as well. Results: There were neither dead animals nor significant changes in body weights during the experimental period. In addition, no differences were found between the control and treated groups in clinical sign, hematology, serum biochemical, and histopathological analysis. Conclusion: Compared with the control group, we could not detect any toxic alteration in all treated groups. These studies indicate that the acute toxicity of benzo[a]pyrene is relatively low.

본 연구는 청년기 여대생을 대상으로 신체 각 부위의 골밀도와 생화학적 골대사지표를 측정한 후 1년 뒤의 변화를 추적 조사하였다. 각 신체부위별 주요 골격의 1년 후 평균 골밀도변화에서 전완부 골밀도는 유의하게 변화한 반면 요추골, 대퇴골 근위부(경부, 전자부, 워드 삼각부) 및 전신골밀도에서는 변화가 없었다. 골대사지표 중 골형성지 표인 혈청 오스테오칼신과 골흡수지표인 요중 디옥시피리디놀린은 모두 유의하게 변화하였다. 초기 청년기 여성에서 골밀도의 뚜렷한 변화가 없어도 골대사는 여전히 활발히 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
