To investigate the possible usage as probiotics, we isolated and identified one strain of bacillus from Korean traditional food, Jeotgal. The isolate was identified as Bacillus megaterium KS12 by examining its biochemical properties and 16S rRNA sequence analysis (99% similarity). B. megaterium KS12 exhibited high viability in artificial gastric juice for 3 h and in artificial bile salts for 24 h, about 14.4 and 14%, respectively. The herbal digestive medicine containing the isolate showed high starch hydrolytic activity and proteolytic activities (about 6-fold) compared to traditional herbal digestive medicine. The viable cells in the herbal digestive medicine containing the isolate were higher than those of traditional herbal digestive medicine.

Separated normal and waxy rice starches were pulverized, and the physicochemical and digestive properties of the starches were determined. The size of both starch granules significantly decreased (less than $8{\mu}m$) after pulverization. For pasting properties, significant decreases of peak and setback viscosity were observed in both of pulverized starches than in native ones. The lower pasting temperature as well as increased solubility and water binding capacity of pulverized starches imply molecular degradation of starch by pulverization. For thermal properties, onset temperature and melting enthalpy significantly decreased after pulverization, especially in normal rice starch, however there was no difference in amylose-lipid complex before andafter pulverization. The slowly digestible and resistant starch portion of normal rice starch increased after pulverization, however, in waxy rice starch, the rapidly digestible portion increased.

고아미쌀에서 분리해낸 전분에 octenyl succinic anhydride기를 도입하여 에스테르화한 후 $130^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 열처리하여 변성전분을 제조하고 이를 밀가루와 50:50으로 섞어 제조한 쿠키는 밀가루만을 사용한 쿠키와 비교해볼 때 혈당상승을 지연시키는 효과가 컸으나 쿠키의 단단함과 바삭거림은 많이 떨어졌다. 쿠키의 선호도는 색이나 고소한 냄새보다는 경도와 바삭거림과 같은 조직감 특성에 많이 좌우되므로 조직감 향상을 위해 밀가루와 변성전분을 50:50으로 섞은 후 총 가루함량의 0.5%에 해당하는 xanthan 검을 첨가하여 반죽을 만들고 쿠키를 제조하면 검류와 전분의 상호작용으로 인해 단단함과 바삭거림 등 조직감의 향상과 함께 당지수를 효과적으로 낮춰 당뇨환자들의 간식으로 소비될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 실험에 사용된 변성전분은 당지수를 충분히 감소시킬 수 있으므로 쿠키뿐 아니라 혈당조절이 필요한 식품에 밀가루를 대체할 식품소재로 사용될 수 있을 것이며, 동시에 고아미 쌀의 소비도 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to compare sensory and nutritional and digestive properties of the Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio muscle (ICM) by size [normal large (NLF) and small (NSF) fish], part [ventral (VM) and dorsal (DM) muscle], and commercial value [NLF, recessive (RF) or deformed (DF) fish]. In NLF, the major amino acids were lysine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid, whereas aspartic acid and glutamic acid were predominant in NSF, DM, VM, DF, and RF. Taurine content increased with fish size, and was higher in DM than in VM, and higher in NLF than in DF but lower than that in RF. Regardless of ICM size, part, and commercial value, potassium and iron were expected in the health function, but calcium and zinc were not expected. The major fatty acids present in ICM were 16:0, 18:1n-9, and 18:2n-6, regardless of size, part, and commercial value. The digestion rate of ICM by digestive organ was lower in NLF than in NSF, and lower in VM with a high lipid content than in DM, and lower in DF than in RF.

Presence of Helicobacter pylori is associated with an increased risk of developing upper gastrointestinal tract diseases. Antibiotic therapy and a combination of two or three drugs have been widely used to eradicate H. pylori infections. Due to antibiotic resistant drugs, new drug resources are needed such as plants which contain antibacterial compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of GutGard$^{TM}$ to inhibit H. pylori growth both in Mongolian gerbils and C57BL/6 mouse models. Male Mongolian gerbils were infected with the bacteria by intragastric inoculation ($2{\times}10^9$ CFU/gerbil) 3 times over 5 days and then orally treated once daily 6 times/week for 8 weeks with 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg GutGard$^{TM}$. After the final administration, biopsy samples of the gastric mucosa were assayed for bacterial identification via urease, catalase and ELISA assays as well as immunohistochemistry (IHC). In the Mongolian gerbil model, IHC and ELISA assays revealed that GutGard$^{TM}$ inhibited H. pylori colonization in gastric mucosa in a dose dependent manner. The anti-H. pylori effects of GutGard$^{TM}$ in H. pylori-infected C57BL/6 mice were also examined. We found that treatment with 25 mg/kg GutGard$^{TM}$ significantly reduced H. pylori colonization in mice gastric mucosa. Our results suggest that GutGard$^{TM}$ may be useful as an agent to prevent H. pylori infection.

Self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is effective for biliary drainage, especially in pancreaticobiliary cancer. The mechanical properties, material, and design of SEMS are important in preventing recurrent biliary obstruction and complication. Radial and chronic expansion forces play roles in preventing stent migration and collapse. Complications, such as stent impaction, cholecystitis, and pancreatitis, were related to the axial force. The nickel-titanium alloy shows more flexibility, conformability, and optimal axial force compared to previously used stainless steel. Additionally, the stent structure affected the mechanical properties of SEMS. Therefore, understanding the mechanical properties, material, and design of SEMS will provide the best outcome for biliary drainage, as well as better SEMS development.

Objective: The use of probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics in animal feed has received considerable attention in recent decades. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have remarkable functional properties promoting host health and are major microorganisms for probiotic purposes. The aim of this study was to characterize LAB strains of the chicken digestive tract and to determine their functional properties for further use as potential probiotics in poultry. Methods: A total of 2,000 colonies were isolated from the ileum and cecal contents of the chickens based on their phenotypic profiles and followed by a preliminary detection for acid and bile tolerance. The selected 200 LAB isolates with exhibited well-tolerance in acid and bile conditions were then identified by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene, followed by acid and bile tolerance, antimicrobial activity, adhesion to epithelial cells and additional characteristics on the removal of cholesterol. Then, the two probiotic strains (L. ingluviei and L. salivarious) which showed the greatest advantage in vitro testing were selected to assess their efficacy in broiler chickens. Results: It was found that 200 LAB isolates that complied with all measurement criteria belonged to five strains, including L. acidophilus (63 colonies), L. ingluviei (2 colonies), L. reuteri (58 colonies), L. salivarius (72 colonies), and L. saerimneri (5 colonies). We found that the L. ingluviei and L. salivarius can increase the population of LAB and Bifidobacterium spp. while reducing Enterobacteria spp. and Escherichia coli in the cecal content of chickens. Additionally, increased concentrations of valeric acid and short chain fatty acids were also observed. Conclusion: This study indicates that all five Lactobacillus strains isolated from gut contents of chickens are safe and possess probiotic properties, especially L. ingluviei and L. salivarius. Future studies should evaluate the potential for growth improvement in broilers.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of liquefied digestive medicines on the composite resin surface. Methods: Three types of liquefied digestive medicines (Gashwalmyeongsu, Wicheongsu, and Saengrokcheon) were selected as experimental groups, Samdasoo and Chamisul as negative controls, and Trevi as positive controls were selected to measure pH and titratable acidity. The samples filled with resin at acrylic were made total 300, 50 per group. To evaluate the erosion risk of the composite resin, the specimens were immersed in a liquefied medicine for 1, 3, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and then the surface microhardness was measured using the Vickers Hardness Number, and the surface change was observed with scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The average pH of the three liquefied medicine was 3.75±0.30, the Saengrokcheon was the lowest at 3.45±0.01, and the Trevi was 4.66 and Samdasoo and Chamisul were 7.40 and 8.58, respectively. The amount of NaOH reaching pH 5.5 and 7.0 was the lowest in the order of Trevi, Gashwalmyeongsu, Wicheongsu, and Saengrokcheon. The largest surface hardness reduction value was shown in Gashwalmyeongsu (-11.85±3.73), followed by Saengrokcheon (-9.79±3.11) and Wicheongsu (-8.28±2.83), and Samdasoo (-0.84±1.56) and Chamisul (-6.24±0.42) had relatively low surface hardness reduction values. However, Trevi (-16.67±5.41), a positive control group containing carbonic acid, showed a higher decrease in surface hardness than the experimental group. As a result of observation with SEM, experimental group and positive control group, showed rough surfaces and irregular cracks, and negative control groups showed smooth patterns similar to before immersion. Conclusion: The liquefied digestive medicine with low pH could weaken the composite resin surface, and the carbonic acid component could more effect on the physical properties of the composite resin than pH.
