식이성 고지혈증 유발 Sprague Dawley계 숫흰쥐를 사용하여 용담 열수 추출액을 급여하므로써 혈당 및 혈청의 지질 개선 효과를 규명하기 위해 4주간 실험 사육한 결과, 혈당 농도는 대조군인 1군(물)에 비해 2군(콜레스테롤+물) 및 3군(콜레스테롤+용담추출액)이 높게 나타났으며, 콜레스테롤과 용담 추출액을 급여한 3군이 2군(콜레스테롤+물)보다 다소 낮은 경향을 보였지만 혈당 저하효과는 유의성있게 관찰되지 않았다. 혈청중 총콜레스테롤 농도는 2군에 비하여 3군이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. LDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 2군에 비해 3군에서 유의성있게 감소하였으며, 총콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도비는 용담 추출액 급여군이 높게 나타났다. 혈청 유리 콜레스테롤 및 콜레스테롤 에스테르 농도는 콜레스테롤 급여군인 2군에 비해 용담 추출액 급여군(3군)이 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 중성지질 및 인지질 농도는 3군의 농도가 낮았다. 혈청 AST 및 ALT활성은 대조군에 비하여 여타 실험군에서 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서, 용담 열수 추출액이 식이성 고지혈증 흰쥐에 대한 혈청지질 개선효과가 다소나마 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The objective was to determine the relationship between feed intake levels and patterns, and growth performance and body composition of barrows and gilts using automatic feed intake recording equipment (F.I.R.E.). This system records the time of visits to the feeder and the duration and size of meals for individual animals housed in groups. Ninety-six crossbred pigs were grown from $33.4{\pm}0.51$ to $109.7{\pm}1.39kg$ live weight over a 13-week period. Eight mixed-sex groups of 12 pigs were used and 4 dietary treatments were compared giving 2 pens per treatment. The dietary treatments consisted of corn-soybean meal diets with differing protein levels which ranged from 14.7% to 19% between 30 to 55 kg, from 13.3% to 16.9% between 56 and 85 kg, and from 12.3% to 16.8% for the remainder of the study. Animals were ultrasonically scanned to measure loin-eye area and backfat thickness to estimate carcass fat-free lean content at the beginning and end of the study. Barrows had higher daily feed intake than gilts (2.67 vs. 2.46 kg resp. p<0.05) which was the result of a longer feeder occupation time per visit (4.77 vs. 4.54 min, resp. p<0.05), higher feed consumption rates (30.4 vs. 29.0 g/min, resp. p<0.05), and higher feed intakes per visit (136.9 vs. 126.8 g, resp. p<0.01). Gilts had less backfat and greater loin-eye area than barrows (p<0.05). Diet had no significant effect on growth performance and had limited impact on feeding patterns. Body weight showed high correlations with ADG (r=0.74), feed intake per visit (r=0.51) and feed consumption rate (r=0.69). Positive correlation were also found between daily feed intake and feed intake per visit (r=0.45), feeder occupation time per day (r=0.56), and feed consumption rate (r=0.55), and between daily feed intake and backfat thickness (r=0.32) and feed consumption rate and loin-eye area (r=0.32). There were negative correlations between number of feeder visit per day and daily feed intake (r=-0.54), and between feed intake per visit and number of feeder visits per day (r=-0.43). However, correlations between feed intake traits and carcass traits were generally low. Visits to the feeder were greatest during the morning (0700 to 1100 h) and lowest during the evening and nighttime. These results highlight limited variation among the sexes in feeding patterns and suggest important relationships between feeding behavior and feed intake.

Background: Breast cancer is known to be one of the most prevalent cancers among women in both developing and developed countries. The incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan has increased dramatically within the last few years and is the second country after Israel in Asia to have highest proportional cases of breast cancer. However, there are limited data for breast cancer available in the literature from Pakistan. Objectives: The study was conducted to bring to light the common clinical presentation of breast cancer and to evaluate the frequency of established risk factors in breast carcinoma patients and furthermore to compare the findings between premenopausal and postmenopausal women in Pakistan. Materials and Methods: A 6 months (from July 2012 to Dec 2012) cross sectional survey was conducted in Surgical and Oncology Units of Civil Hospital, Karachi. Data were collected though a well developed questionnaire from 105 female patients diagnosed with carcinoma of breast and analyzed using SPSS version 17. Institutional ethical approval was obtained prior to data collection. Results: Out of 105 patients, 43 were premenopausal and 62 were postmenopausal, 99 being married. Mean age at diagnosis was $47.8{\pm}12.4years$. A painless lump was the most frequent symptom, notived by 77.1%(n=81). Some 55.2% (n=58) patients had a lump in the right breast and 44.8%(n=47) in the left breast. In the majority of cases, the lump was present in upper outer quadrant 41.9% (n=44). Mean period of delay from appearance of symptoms to consulting a doctor was $5.13{\pm}4.8months$, from the shortest 1 month to the longest 36 months. Long delay (> 3 months) was the most frequent figure 41.9%. Considering overall risk factors most frequent were first pregnancy after 20 years of age (41%), physical breast trauma (28.6%), lack of breast feeding(21.9%), and early menarche <11 years (19%), followed by null parity (16.2%), consumption of high fat diet (15.2%), family history of breast cancer or any other cancer in first degree relatives (9.5% and 13.3%, respectively). Some of the less common factors were late menopause >54 years (8.6%), use of oral contraceptive pills (10.5%), use of hormone replacement therapy (4.7%),smoking (4.7%) and radiation (0.96%). Significant differences (p<0.005) were observed between pre and post menopausal women regarding history of physical breast trauma, practice of breast feeding and parity. Conclusions: A painless lump was the most frequent clinical presentation noted. Overall age at first child > 20 years, physical breast trauma, lack of breast feeding, early menarche <11 were the most frequent risk factors. Physical breast trauma, lower parity, a trend for less breast feeding had more significant associations with pre-menopausal than post-menopausal onset. Increase opportunity of disease prevention can be obtained through better understanding of clinical presentation and risk factors important in the etiology of breast cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare overfeeding performance, fatty acid composition, blood chemistry, enzymes and genes expression overfed Xupu and Landes geese. Methods: Sixty male Xupu geese (80 d) and Landes geese (80 d) were selected. After a period of one-week of pre-overfeeding, Xupu and Landes geese were overfed three meals of 550 and 350 g/d, respectively, of a high-carbohydrate diet in the first week of the overfeeding period. The next week, geese were given four meals of 1,200 and 850 g/d, respectively, over 8 to 14 d. Finally, geese were given five meals of 1,600 and 1,350 g/d, respectively, for the last two weeks. Results: After overfeeding for 28 d: Compared with Landes geese, Xupu geese liver weight and liver-to-body weight ratio decreased (p<0.05), while final weight, slaughter weight, total weight gain, abdominal fat weight, and feed-to-liver weight ratio increased (p<0.05). The levels of elaidic acid (C18:1t9), oleic acid (C18:1n-9), eicosenoic acid, and arachidonic acid in the liver of Xupu geese significantly increased (p<0.05), and the levels of myristic acid and stearic acid significantly decreased (p<0.05), while methyleicosanoate acid significantly increased (p<0.05). Xupu geese had higher plasma concentrations of triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05), and decreased activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lipase (LPS) (p<0.05). Landes geese had higher LPS activity (p<0.05), but lower cholinesterase activity (p<0.05) when compared with Xupu geese. The mRNA expression levels of fatty acid dehydrogenase (FADS) gene, elongase of long-chain fatty acid 1 (ELOVL1) gene, ELOVL5, and acyl-Co A: cholesterol acyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) gene were significantly upregulated (p<0.05) in Landes goose when compared with Xupu geese. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the liver production performance of Landes geese was better than that of Xupu geese to some extent, which may be closely related to LPS activity, as well as the expression of FADS, ELOVL1, ELOVL5, and ACAT2.

꾸지뽕나무 뿌리 추출물은 항염, 항암, 항산화와 같은 효과를 갖는 많은 생리활성 물질을 포함하고 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 꾸지뽕나무 뿌리 추출물(이하 CTE)의 사람 혈소판 응집 억제 기전에 관하여는 알려진 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 CTE가 혈소판에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. CTE는 collagen으로 유도한 혈소판 응집 반응에서 cyclooxygenase-1 활성을 억제하고, 세포 내 칼슘 농도를 낮추는 방식으로 thromboxane A₂ 생성을 억제하였다. 또한, phospholipase Cγ2와 syk의 인산화 반응을 억제하였으며, guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)에 의존적인 방식으로 vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein(VASP)의 Ser²³⁹ 위치를 인산화하여 항혈소판 효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 고지방 식이로 혈소판 활성화를 유도한 랫드에서 CTE를 경구 투여 하였을 때, 간독성 없이 콜라겐으로 유도한 혈소판 응집반응을 thromboxane A₂ 생성을 억제함으로써 항혈소판 효과를 보였다. 이는 in vivo와 in vitro에서 같은 결과를 제시하고 있다. 결론적으로, CTE는 항혈소판 작용 및 심혈관계 질환 예방을 위한 천연물 유래의 안전하고, 새로운 물질임을 제시하는 바이다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity and anti-hyperlipidemic Effects of Taeyeumjowee-tang and its modified prescription on the animal model of obesity and hyperlipidemia induced high-fat diet. Method : 1) The extracts of Taeyeumjowee-tang (TJT) and its modified prescription, Taeyeumjoweetang gagam-bang (TJGB) were evaluated for its inhibitory effects on obesity. 2) The body weight and feed weight were determined in the pre-treated and post-treated mice and the lipid profiles in the serum were analyzed in order to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemia action of the extracts. 3) The effect of each extract was investigated for the influences on monoamine oxidase activity and HMG-CoA reductase activity. Results 1. TJT and TJGB extracts dose-dependently reduced the body weight and feed intake in normal mice. The effect of TJGB extract was better than that of TJT extract. 2. TJGB extract diminished the body weight increase and reduced the feed intake in the pre-treatment or post-treatment of the extract 3. TJGB extract decreased the amount of total cholesterol slightly and triglyceride potently after the pre-treatment or post-treatment, but HDL cholesterol exhibited no remarkable change compared with control. 4. TJGB extract weakly potentiated the monoamine oxidase activity, but its effect was better than that of TJT extract. 5. TJGB extract weakly inhibited the HMG-CoA reductase activity, but its effect was better than that of TJT extract. Conclusion : Taeyeumjowee-tang and its modified prescription can clinically be useful as anti-obesity drug and also for the improvement of hyperlipidemia.

본 연구에서는 절식이 일반사료 및 고지방사료를 섭취한 마우스의 장내미생물생태에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. 일반 사료 및 고지방사료를 마우스에 16주 동안 무한급이 형태로 섭취하게 하여 실험종료 직전에 1일(24시간) 간 절식시켰으며, 절식 전 후의 분변 샘플을 채집하고 MiSeq을 이용하여 장내미생물생태 분석을 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 고지방사료를 섭취한 마우스에서는 절식 전후 장내미생물생태 내의 종 풍부성과 균등성이 감소한 반면, 일반사료를 섭취한 마우스에서는 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 또한, 고지방사료를 섭취한 마우스의 장내미생물생태에서는 절식 후 변화하는 것을 확인하였으며, 일반 사료를 섭취한 마우스의 절식 전후 변화가 없었다. Difference abundance analysis는 일반사료를 섭취한 마우스에서 절식 이후 S24-7로 분류되는 OTU는 증가하고, Ruminococcaceae로 분류되는 OTU가 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면, 고지방사료를 섭취한 마우스에서는 절식 이후 10OTUs가 감소하고, 3OTUs가 증가하였는데, 대부분 Ruminococcaceae로 분류되는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 마우스에서의 절식이 장내미생물생태 중 Ruminococcaceae의 abundance에 영향을 미치며, 일반사료를 섭취한 마우스에 비해 고지방사료를 섭취한 마우스에서 절식에 대한 효과가 더 명확하게 나타난다는 것을 시사한다.

Background: Ginsenoside compound-Mc1 (Mc1) is a member of the deglycosylated ginsenosides obtained from ginseng extract. Although several ginsenosides have a cardioprotective effect, this has not been demonstrated in ginsenoside Mc1. Methods: We treated H9c2 cells with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and ginsenoside Mc1 to evaluate the antioxidant effects of Mc1. The levels of antioxidant molecules, catalase, and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were measured, and cell viability was determined using the Bcl2-associated X protein (Bax):B-cell lymphoma-extra large ratio, a cytotoxicity assay, and flow cytometry. We generated mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity using ginsenoside Mc1 and assessed their heart tissues to evaluate the antioxidant effect and the fibrosis-reducing capability of ginsenoside Mc1. Results: Ginsenoside Mc1 significantly increased the level of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the H9c2 cells. The expression levels of catalase and SOD2 increased significantly after treatment with ginsenoside Mc1, resulting in a decrease in the production of H₂O₂-mediated reactive oxygen species. Treatment with ginsenoside Mc1 also significantly reduced the H₂O₂-mediated elevation of the Bax:Bcl2 ratio and the number of DNA-damaged cells, which was significantly attenuated by treatment with an AMPK inhibitor. Consistent with the in vitro data, ginsenoside Mc1 upregulated the levels of catalase and SOD2 and decreased the Bax:B-cell lymphoma-extra large ratio and caspase-3 activity in the heart tissues of HFD-induced obese mice, resulting in reduced collagen deposition. Conclusion: Ginsenoside Mc1 decreases oxidative stress and increases cell viability in H9c2 cells and the heart tissue isolated from HFD-fed mice via an AMPK-dependent mechanism, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for oxidative stress-related cardiac diseases.

본 시험음 활성탄의 첨가가 사료의 반추위내 발효성상 건물 및 영양소 소실율 반추위내 가스 생산량에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 in vitro 조건에서 실시되었다. 활성탄의 첨가수준은 0.00 0.25 0.50 %의 3수준이었으며, 사료의 조농비율은 볏짚과 농후사료 비율을 8:2 6:4 4:6 및 2:8로 하였다. 그리고 처리간 유의성은 5% 수준에서 검정하였다. 시험 결과를 요약하면, 위액의 pH는 활성탄의 첨가 비율이 높아질수록 높아지는 경향을 나타냈으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았으며, 사료의 조농비율에 따른 영향은 8:2구가 다른 처리구보다 유의하게 높았다. 그리고 VFA molar %는 활성탄 첨가에 의하여 유의한 결과는 아니지만 $C_2$는 감소되고 $C_3$는 증가되는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 조사료비율이 증가될 수록 전술의 결과와는 상반된 현상을 보였다. $C_2/C_3$ 비율도 활성탄의 첨가와 농후사료 비율의 증가에 의하여 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. 건물 및 영양소 소실율에 있어서는 활성탄 첨가에 의하여 건물 조단백질 NDF ADF hemicellulose의 소실율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 조지방의 소실율은 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 조농비율에 의한 영향에 있어서는 농후사료의 비율이 증가할 수록 건물 및 영양소의 소실율이 유의하게 증가하였다. 그리고 반추위내 가스 생산량에 있어서는 활성탄 0.5% 첨가구가 0.25% 및 0.00%구에 비하여 감소하는 경향이었고, 조사료의 비율이 높을수록 많아지는 경향이었다. 위 결과에서 보듯이 활성탄은 가축의 생산성 향상에 유리한 조건을 제공하는 경향이 있지만, 이것을 좀 더 명확히 밝히기 위해서는 활성탄의 흡착능력 위내의 세균총에 대한 연구 및 많은 생체실험도 병행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

몽골의 건조한 자연환경에서 몽골인들은 유목이라고 하는 문화를 만들어냈다. 또한 유목민들은 초원에서 유목 생활에 필요한 가옥으로 이동식의 겔을 창조해 냈다. 겔의 주요 재료는 버드나무 줄기와 휄트인데, 전자는 하천에서 쉽게 구할 수 있으며 겔의 골조로 사용되고, 후자는 양모를 원료로 만들어졌는데 지붕을 덮고 벽을 두르는데 사용한다. 겔은 건축하기 쉽고, 해체하기 쉬우며, 운반하기에 가벼운 특성을 갖는 이동식 가옥이다. 겔의 형태는 원형 평면에 낮은 원추형의 지붕으로 되어 있어서 바람에 대한 저항이 적고, 휄트는 단열의 효과가 좋은 재료이다. 즉 겔은 바람이 강하고 혹한의 겨울을 대비한 유목민의 가옥이다. 유목민의 음식은 가축예서 얻을 수 있는 젖과 고기로 만들어진다. 그들은 우유 양유 야크유 등을 많이 마시며, 가공하여 치즈 버터 마유주 등을 만들고, 육류는 삶아서 먹고, 일부는 건조시켜 장기간 저장해 놓고 먹는다. 내장은 순대로 만들어 먹기도 한다. 유목민들이 식물성 식품을 섭취하지 않아도 건강하게 생활할 수 있는 것은, 풀을 사료로 하는 양에서 짠 젖에 필요한 식물성 영양소가 포함되어 있기 때문이다.
