The current work was designed to assess novel pharmacological activities of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (HD), a major phenolic constituent of various natural products of plant origin, such as Gastrodia elata Blume. HD exhibited a significant inhibition in the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) angiogenesis. HD also displayed an inhibitory effect in acetic acid-induced permeability in mice. Anti-nociceptive activity of HD was convinced using the acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. HD was able to suppress production of nitric oxide (NO) and induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. HD also diminished the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level elevated in the LPS-activated macrophages. In brief, HD exhibits anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities possibly via down-regulating iNOS and/or COX-2, which may be partly responsible for pharmacological efficacies of various natural products.

근원세포의 융합에 관여하는 융합유도물질의 존재를 구명하기 위하여 계배의 근세포를 배양하면서, muscle-conditioned medium (MCM) 이 근원세포의 융합에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 근원세포로부터 배양액 내로 방출되는 단백질을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) MCM은 뚜렷한 융합촉진 효과를 나타냈으며, 이러한 효과는 첨가된 MCM의 농도가 층가함에 따라 증가하였다. (2) MCM의 융합촉진 효과는 주로 근원세포로부터 방출되는 융합유도물질에 의하여 일어나는 것으로 판단된다. (3) 배양근원세포로부터 분비되는 45,000달톤과 65,000달톤의 단백질이 융합 유도물질일 가능성이 높다.

본 실험은 우리나라 재래계의 육종 기초 자료를 얻고자 염색체의 형태와 G-, C-banding pattern을 조사하여 보았다. 시료는 성장중인 초기배아를 이용하였고 염색체 분양분석은 현재 Ohio 대학에서 시행하고 있는 방법을 다소 수정하여 행하였다. 실험결과 macrochromosome의 armratio와 centromeric index 그리고 relative length에서 다소 개량종과 차가 있으나 designation에는 차이가 없었다. Densitometric recording에 나타난 graph의 정점은 G-banding에서 1, 2, 3, 4, Z, 그리고 5번의 각 염색체에서 각각 21, 14, 12, 8, 11 그리고 4 개였고, C-banding에서는 各各 16, 13, 9, 9, 9,그리고 4 개였다. 이러한 banding pattern은 분염분석 방법에 따라 더 많이 발현시킬 수 있으리라 생각하며, banding pattern 에 의해서 genetic marker를 시사하기 위해서는 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Metacercariae of Acanthoparyphium marilae Yamaguti, 1934 (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) were discovered in an intertidal clam, Mactra veneriformis, in a southwestern coastal area of the Republic of Korea. A total of 128 metacercariae were detected from 10 clams examined. They were round, 320 m in average diameter, with 23 collar spines. They were fed experimentally to chicks, and 10 days later adult flukes were obtained. The adults were morphologically characterized by the head collar with a single row of 23 dorsally uninterrupted spines, without special end group spines, a round ventral sucker, 2 round and tandem testes, and vitellaria extending at lateral fields from the posterior extremity not beyond the middle level of the posterior testis. The most characteristic feature of this species was the limited distribution of vitellaria, which differs from Acanthoparyphium tyosenense Yamaguti, 1939, the metacercariae of which are encysted in the same mollusk species. This is the first report in which the metacercariae of this species were detected, and the intertidal bivalve, M. veneriformis, has been identified as a second intermediate host for A. marilae.

A study was conducted to assess the nutritive value of two diets based on a low-energy variety of wheat, RAC C1 and their effects on intestinal mucosal structure and function in broiler chickens. The diets were fed with or without microbial enzyme supplement to male and female broiler chickens. The digesta viscosity was reduced (p<0.001) through supplementation with a microbial enzyme in male and female chicks. Enzyme supplementation also improved the dietary apparent metabolizable energy content (p<0.001) and had slight but non-significant positive effects on chick growth and feed conversion ratio. Intestinal mucosal structure and enzyme function were not affected by microbial enzyme supplement. Male chicks consumed more feeds (p<0.001), attained higher final body weight (p<0.001) and were more efficient at feed utilization (p<0.01) than the female chicks. Except for duodenal villus surface area and ileal protein content, intestinal mucosal structure and enzyme activities were similar between the two sexes and dietary treatment groups. The study showed an improvement in the nutritive value of the diets in the presence of the microbial enzyme supplement.

Identification of individuals is a standard tool used to study animal behavior and ecology. Numerous studies based on photographic identifications of various marine mammal populations have been successfully conducted. The objective of this study was to validate a photo-identification method for spotted seals. We tested the method using 4,939 photographs gathered in 30 field surveys from 2006 to 2008 on Baekryongdo, Korea. In 2006, 20 individuals were identified and cataloged using unique spot patterns on their left chick pelages as a natural marker. In 2007 and 2008, three and nine individuals, respectively, were recaptured, with six individuals continually recaptured during the entire survey period. We confirmed that the spot patterns of spotted seal pelages were constant in shape and location throughout time. These characteristics offered an opportunity to consistently identify individuals within a population over the long survey period. The use of photo-identification has great potential for mark-recapture studies.

Several mathematical relationships have been developed to describe bacterial responses to UV irradiation. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was taken as a bacterial model. The results obtained showed that the kinetics of disinfection is far to be as uniform. In fact, application of the model of Chick-Watson in its original form or modification, taking into account the speed change during the disinfection process, has not significantly improved results. The application of both models of Collins-Selleck and Hom constitute a major opportunity to simulate goodly the kinetics of UV disinfection. The results obtained showed that despite the major advantage held by applying the Hom model in this process of disinfection and for all strains studied, the model of Collins-Selleck gave the best results for the description of the UV inactivation process. The design of reactors, operating in continuous disinfection system, requires taking into account the hydrodynamic behaviour of water in the reactor. Knowing that a reduction of 4-log is necessary in the case of wastewater reuse for irrigation, a model integrating the expression of disinfection kinetics and the hydrodynamics through the UV irradiation room was proposed. The results highlight the interest to develop reactors in series working as four perfectly mixed reactors.

국산 목재와 수입라왕의 물리적 성질과 방사선 내성을 측정하여 W.P.C 제조 예비 실험을 한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 목재의 경도는 비중과 휨강도 (bending strength)에 비례했다. 2) 연륜 접선 방향의 경도는 목심으로부터의 거리에 비례했다. 3) 100Mrad 감마선 조사로는 목재의 비중에 큰 변화가 생기지 않았다. 4) 방사선 조사시 연질목재의 경도가 경질 목재의 그것보다 더욱 현저히 감소했다. 그러나 10Mrad까지는 경도 감소가 심하지 알음으로 보아 W,P,C제조에 있어 10Mrad이하의 조사에는 목재가 충분한 내성을 가짐을 알 수 있다.

The arteries in and under the brain of the fowl were invesitigated. Arteries of the brain were injected with neoplen latex into the arteria carotis communis. Those were fixed in 10--- formalin. After fixation, those brain were carefully removed from the cranial cavity doing not wound the arteries of the brain. The results of observation on the arterial supply under the brain surface were essentially the same as those obtained by Hofmann Shiina and Mjyata, Kaku, and Kithoh. The nomenclature of the arteries used by other authers were written in the discussion. In this observation, several conclusions were obtained. 1. In the arteries under the brain of the fowl, their front anastomoses forming the circle of Willis under the brain surface of the mammalia were not seen in all brain. 2. It is very difficult to indicate so called A. cerebri anterior as only one artery ramus. 3. Artery distribution of the two-third in the fissura longitudinal cerebri surface originate from on1y one side in the left or right A. cerebri posterior, and origins of the right side were man number than left. 4. The origin of the A. basilaris originate from only one side R. posterior, therefore their origin were more left than right. 5. There is Rami arteries that branch from A. ethmoidalis to Chiasma opticum in all cases.

일산화탄소를 생성시키기 위한 이산화탄소의 감마선 분해반응(총흡수선량 6.7 Mrad)에서 몇가지 유기물의 첨가효과를 연구하였다. 순수한 이산화탄소를 조사할 때는 일산화탄소가 생성되지 않았으나 첨가제를 가한 경우 상당량의 일산화탄소가 생성되어 0.5%의 메탄올 및 0.25%의 에탄올의 첨가에 의해 각각 4.1 및 4.6의 최대G(CO)값을 얻었다. 또 1%의 포름알데히드 첨가에 의해서는 가장 높은 수율인 8.4의 G(CO)값을 보였고, 1% 아세트알데히드의 경우는 6.3의 G(CO)값을 보였으며 40 Mard에서 최대일산화탄소농도 0.65%를 얻었다.
