Background: Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is a well-characterized medicinal herb listed in the classic oriental herbal dictionary as "Shin-nong-bon-cho-kyung." Ginseng has diverse pharmacologic and therapeutic properties. Black ginseng (BG, Ginseng Radix nigra) is produced by repeatedly steaming fresh ginseng nine times. Studies of BG have shown that prolonged heat treatment enhances the antioxidant activity with increased radical scavenging activity. Several recent studies have showed the effects of BG on increased lipid profiles in mice. In this study report the effects of water and ethanol extracts of BG on hypercholesterolemia in rats. To our knowledge, this is the first time such an effect has been reported. Methods: Experiments were conducted on male Sprague Dawley rats fed with a high-cholesterol diet supplemented with the water and ethanol extracts of BG (200 mg/kg). Their blood cholesterol levels, serum white blood cell levels, and cholesterol-metabolizing marker genes messenger RNA (mRNA) expression were determined. Liver and adipose tissues were histologically analyzed. Results: We found that BG extracts efficiently reduced the total serum cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels with increased food efficiency ratio and increased number of neutrophil cells. It also attenuated the key genes responsible for lipogenesis, that is, acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) acetyltransferase 2, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2, at the mRNA level inside liver cells. Furthermore, the BG extract also reduced the accumulation of fat in adipose tissues, and inhibited the neutral fat content in liver cells stained with hematoxylin and eosin and oil red O. Conclusion: Administration of BG extracts to Sprague Dawley rats fed with high-cholesterol diet ameliorated hypercholesterolemia, which was mediated via modulation of cholesterol-metabolizing marker genes. This data throw a light on BG's cardioprotective effects.

BACKGROUND: Soy isoflavones, structurally similar to endogenous estrogens, may affect human body through both hormonally mediated and non-hormonally related mechanisms. Heat processing could change chemical compositions. The effects of different thermal processes, boiling and HTHP(high temperature and high pressure) on the composition of isoflavone compounds and total amount of domestic soybeans were investigated in this study. METHOD AND RESULTS: Three different kinds of soybean samples were collected from RDA-Genebank. The samples were extracted using methanol, distilled water, and formic acid based solvent. Also the same solvents were used for mobile phase in UPLC/ToF/MS. All of the isoflavone compounds were analyzed based on the aglycone type of external standard for quantification. The standard calibration curve presented linearity with the correlation coefficient R2 > 0.98, analysed from 1 to 50 ppm concentration. The total isoflavone contents does not change by treatment within the same breed. While "boiling" and "HTHP" processes tend to increase the contents of aglycone and ${beta}$-glucosides, "fresh" soybeans retained the high concentration of malonylglucosides. CONCLUSION: These results have to be considered while developing an effective functional food, from the health while point of view using soybeans.

Objective: The potential of aqueous extract of Christ's thorn jujube (Ziziphus spina-christi) leaves (SLAE) to reduce the negative impacts of heat stress on production performance and physiological traits was investigated in dual-purpose layers under subtropical farming. Methods: A total of 200, 25-week-old laying hens (Inshas strain) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments including SLAE at 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mL/kg, respectively. The average temperature-humidity index value was 26.69 during the experimental period. The SLAE contained saponin (0.045%), total flavonoid content of 17.9 mg of quercetin equivalent/100 g and overall antioxidant capacity concentration of 17.9 mg of ascorbic acid equivalent/100 g. Results: The maximum final body weight (BW), BW gain, egg weight, number, and mass occurred at the level of SLAE7.5 inclusion. The egg quality was significantly higher in SLAE groups than in control, and overall, SLAE7.5 had the most favorable influence at 28 and 32 weeks. Liver and kidney function, as well as lipids profile, improved significantly by SLAE inclusion; the lowest concentrations of these parameters were in SLAE7.5 hens. Treatment with SLAE7.5 increased total antioxidant capacity and endogenous antioxidant enzymes compared to control, whereas no effect on superoxide dismutase was noticed. Conclusion: The addition of SLAE at 7.5 mL/kg diet improved egg laying performance and quality, metabolic profiles, and antioxidant status during hyperthermia conditions.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of processing method and rapeseed variety on ruminal and intestinal protein digestibility of rapeseed meal in steers. Intestinal amino acid digestibility was assessed with an in situ ruminal incubation and precision-fed rooster bioassay. In this experiment one traditional rapeseed meal sample (sample A, prepress extraction) and three double low rapeseed meal samples (sample B, prepress extraction, sample C, screw press and sample D, low temperature press) were placed in polyester bags(8 cm${\times}$12 cm) and suspended in the ventral rumen of steers for 16 h. The residues of in situ incubations were intubated to roosters. Total excreta were collected for 48 h after incubation and then desiccated and amino acid concentrations were determined. Results showed that in ruminal incubation the degradation rate of amino acid and crude protein was higher for traditional rapeseed meal sample A than for double low rapeseed meal sample B, but was much lower than for double low sample C and D. In the group of double low rapeseed meal samples, sample D processed by low temperature press had the highest degradation rate of amino acids in the rumen. For all amino acids, the digestibility of the residual protein as measured by the precision-fed rooster bioassay tended to be lower for sample B than for sample A, which had the same processing method with sample B, and in the group of double low rapeseed meals, sample B had similar digestibility of amino acid in residual protein to sample D and higher than that of sample C. However, although the total amino acid availability involving the digestibility of amino acids in the rumen and rooster bioassay of double low rapeseed meal sample D (low temperature press) was higher than those of the other three samples by 7 to 9 percent, there were no significant differences. Results indicated that processing method markedly affected ruminal and post ruminal amino acid digestibility of rapeseed meal when the temperature exceeded 110$^{\circ}C$. Rapeseed meal that had a high content of fiber was not suitable for dry heat treatment at higher temperatures or the amino acids digestibility in rumen and total availability of amino acids could be reduced. Results also suggested the variety of rapeseed meal had no significant effect on the digestibility and availability of amino acids.

We analyzed 57 types of herbal medicines for Soeumin, clinically applied in Dongyisoosebowon. In order co discover the standard of herbal classification for the Sasang Constitutions, four concepts of Sasang Medicine were applied. These included 'Sadangron (theory of four groups)', 'Seungganggaehap(ascending-descending and gathering-dispersing)', 'Pyorihanyoul(exterior-interior and hot-cold)', and 'Hyungchiaekmi(fragrance, smell, bodily fluid and taste)'. According to these analyzing methods of herbal properties, we have reached the following conclusions: 1. Lee Je-ma first established the physiology of the internal organs of the Sasang Constitutions through the understanding of constitutional pathology. Dr. Lee then classified herbal medicines into four constitutional groups by observing the herbal effects according to such perspective of organ physiology and pathology. 2. Among the Sasang concepts applied in the analysis of herbal properties based on the physiology and pathology of Sasang constitutions, 'Seungganggaehap (ascending-descending and gathering-dispersing)' was found to be the most useful. Meanwhile, 'Sadangron, (the theory of four groups - Spirit, Qi, Blood and Essence),' along with 'Pyorihanyoul (exterior-interior and hot-cold)' and 'Hyungchiaekmi (fragrance, smell, bodily fluid and taste)' were partially useful. 3. Herbal medicines for Soeumin are characterized by ascending energetics that protect the Yang Qi. The 'Exterior heat disease' is treated with herbal medicines that raise the "Exterior Yang" in three different way: by tonifying Qi. by tonifying Blood and by releasing exterior. The 'Interior cold disease' is treated with herbal medicines that descend "Interior Yin" in two ways. One by warming the stomach, and the other by regulating Qi. 4. Cases where a whole category of herbs with the same effect have been applied co one constitution, are most frequent among Shaoyin herbs. There was an intimate connection between the treatment methods and the traditional effects of herbs for 'Soewnin'. These discoveries allowed us to see that the development of the pharmacology of the Sasang Constitutional pathology more progressed in 'Soeumin'. *analysing simple herbs of "DongEuiBoGam JangBu" we compare JangBu of traditional oriental medicine with JangBu of Sasang Constitutional Medicine. So we can comprehend the JangBu's difference of traditional-oriental with sasang-constitional medicine.

종류가 다른 보광등과 난방등으로 보광을 해 주었을 때, 절화 장미의 수확량, 절화수명, 엽색에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 보광등으로 LED등(Light emitting diode lamp, LED), 메탈할라이드등(Metal halide lamp, MH), 고압나트륨등 (High-pressure sodium lamp, HPS)과 난방등으로 나노탄소섬유 적외선등 (Nano-carbon fiber infrared lamp, NCFI)을 절화장미를 재배하고 있는 농가의 수경재배 베드 위에 설치하였다. 절화 장미 수확량과 판매 가능한 절화수는 HPS 처리에 의해 봄과 가을에 크게 증가하였다. 품질의 주요기준이 되는 절화장은 봄철에는 전등처리에 의해 대조구보다 길어졌으나, 겨울에는 오히려 감소하였다. 겨울에는 전등처리로 인해 개화가 촉진되어 영양생장기간이 상대적으로 짧아졌기 때문으로 생각된다. 절화수명은 전등 처리시간이 짧은 가을에는 처리간 차이가 보이지 않았으나, 겨울에는 HPS에서만 대조구에 비해 3일 정도 길어졌다. 엽색은 가을철 보다는 겨울철에 전등처리의 영향을 크게 받았으며, 모든 보광등(LED, MH, HPS)처리에서 엽색이 짙어진 반면, 난방등으로 이용되고 있는 NCFI에서는 대조구와 비슷한 밝기였다. 결론적으로, HPS는 절화장과 절화수명을 길게하며, 수확량도 증가시키므로 매우 좋은 보광등이라고 판단되었다. NCFI는 발열양이 많기 때문에 난방등으로의 기능은 충분할지라도 판매 가능한 절화수가 감소하고 품질지수가 저하되기 때문에 보광등으로서의 역할은 미약할 것으로 판단되었다.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate convolutional neural network models and computer vision techniques for the classification of swine posture with high accuracy and to use the derived result in the investigation of the effect of dietary fiber level on the behavioral characteristics of the pregnant sow under low and high ambient temperatures during the last stage of gestation. A total of 27 crossbred sows (Yorkshire × Landrace; average body weight, 192.2 ± 4.8 kg) were assigned to three treatments in a randomized complete block design during the last stage of gestation (days 90 to 114). The sows in group 1 were fed a 3% fiber diet under neutral ambient temperature; the sows in group 2 were fed a diet with 3% fiber under high ambient temperature (HT); the sows in group 3 were fed a 6% fiber diet under HT. Eight popular deep learning-based feature extraction frameworks (DenseNet121, DenseNet201, InceptionResNetV2, InceptionV3, MobileNet, VGG16, VGG19, and Xception) used for automatic swine posture classification were selected and compared using the swine posture image dataset that was constructed under real swine farm conditions. The neural network models showed excellent performance on previously unseen data (ability to generalize). The DenseNet121 feature extractor achieved the best performance with 99.83% accuracy, and both DenseNet201 and MobileNet showed an accuracy of 99.77% for the classification of the image dataset. The behavior of sows classified by the DenseNet121 feature extractor showed that the HT in our study reduced (p < 0.05) the standing behavior of sows and also has a tendency to increase (p = 0.082) lying behavior. High dietary fiber treatment tended to increase (p = 0.064) lying and decrease (p < 0.05) the standing behavior of sows, but there was no change in sitting under HT conditions.

항암 화학요법제의 항암작용을 증가시키거나, 부작용을 감소시켜 항암 치료를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 항암치료 보조제(modulator)에 대한 개발의 일환으로 녹차 추출물의 이용가능성을 추정하기 위하여 사람 폐암 세포주인 A549 세포를 배양하여 시스플라틴과 독소루비신의 항암성에 미치는 녹차 추출물과 EGCG의 영향을 비교 관찰하였다. A549 세포에 독성을 나타나는 농도는 녹차 추출물 $400\;{\mu}g$/mL, EGCG $300\;{\mu}g$/mL, 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 및 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL로, 녹차 추출물이 세포독성을 나타내는 농도는 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신에 비하면 낮았다. A549 세포에서 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 시스플라틴 $6\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 시스플라틴의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 독소루비신 $4\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 독소루비신의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 녹차추출물 투여 후 p53 및 caspase 3에 대한 Western blot을 시행한 결과 p53및 caspase-3의 유전자 발현이 증가되었다. 이상의 실험결과 녹차추출물은 광범위 항암제 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신의 세포독성을 증강시키는 효과가 있고, 녹차추출물에 의한 p53이나 caspase-3 등과 같은 세포자살유도 단백질의 발현 증가는 녹차추출물에 의한 세포독성 증강효과와 연관이 있을 것으로 추측된다. 녹차추출물의 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신 세포독성 증강효과는 항암화학요법제의 용량을 늘리지 않고 항암력을 증대시킬 수 있기 때문에 항암화학요법 보조제로서 이용될 수 있는 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 효과를 규명하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
