1998년 8~10월에 남해안 일원 해상 가두리 양식장에서 사육중인 돌돔, Oplegnathus fasciatus이 60%이상 폐사하였다. 병어의 체색은 검어지거나 퇴색되며 아가미는 빈혈증상이 심하고 비장은 특이적으로 비대되어 있었고, 비장, 신장, 심장 및 간장 조직에서 퓰겐양성과 호염기성의 비대세포가 관찰되었다. 병어의 비장조직 마쇄액을 GF세포에 접종배양한 결과, 세포가 구형화 되면서 커지는 세포변성효과가 나타나 감염된 GF 세포로부터 바이러스가 분리되었다. 분리된 바이러스 배양액($10^4TCID_{50}$/0.1 ml)을 건강한 돌돔 치어에 복강주사하면 자연감염어와 유사한 증상을 나타내면서 폐사가 일어났고, 또한 병어의 비장조직을 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 조직내 비대세포의 세포질에서 직경이 120~130 nm이며 외막이 있는 정 20면체의 바이러스 입자가 관찰되었다. 그리고 genebank로부터 얻은 참돔 이리도바이러스(RSIV)의 ATPase gene의 DNA염기서열을 주형으로 제작된 primer를 사용하여 PCR을 수행한 결과, 500 bp의 PCR 생성물이 병어나 인위감염된 GF세포에서 얻어졌는데, 이들 PCR 생성물은 RSIV의 ATPase cDNA gene과 95%의 상동성을 나타내었다. 따라서 양식돌돔에 대량 폐사를 일으킨 원인 바이러스는 참돔 이리도바이러스(RSIV)와 유사한 이리도바이러스로 밝혀졌다.

체내에서 영양소의 흡수에 영향을 미치는 에탄올과 섬유소 및 단백질의 급여수준에 따른 이 들 상호작용을 구명하기 위해 에탄올을 투여한 횐쥐에게 단백질 급여 수준을 7%와 20%로 달리 하고 섬유소를 5%와 10% 첨가한 실험식이를 5주간 급여하므로써 이들 영양소가 에탄을 대사효소와 항산화 물질에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. Aldehyde dehydrogenase(ADH)와 microsomal ethanol oxidizing system(MEOS) 활성은 에탄을 투여시 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 특히 MEOS 활성은 단백질 정상 급여와 정상섬유소 급여시 그 증가가 현저하였다. 에탄을 투여로 감소된 aldehyde de-hydrogenase(AIDH) 활성은 정상섬유소군의 경우 단백질 적정 급여시 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다. Cytoch-rome P-450(P-450) 활성은 에탄을 투여로 증가되었으며 에탄을 투여군에서 단백질 정상급여와 과량의 섬유소 급여로 유의하게 감소되었다. Xanthine oxidase (XO) 활성은 에탄을 투여로 증가하는 경향이었으며, 저 단백군에 비하여 단백질 적정 급여시 유의적인 증가를 나타내었다. 또한 섬유소 급여수준에 따른 XO 활성은 에탄올 투여군 중 단백질 정상군에서만 유의적인 차이가 관찰되었다. 에탄을 투여는 간조직 중의 글루타티온 함량을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며, 단백질 결핍에 따른 영향이 현저하게 나타났다. 간조직 중의 지질과 산화 함량은 단백질 결핍시 에탄올 투여로 증가하였다. 이상의 결과에서 에탄올을 해독키 위하여 간의 ADH와 MEOS 활성이 증가되었으며 이로 인해 생성된 아세트알데히드는 AIDH 보다 XO를 통해 해독된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 에탄올 대사효소 활성에 요구되는 단백질 공급과 10% 즉, 과량의 섬유소 급여 보다 5% 섬유소 급여시 에탄올성 간손상을 경감시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Vibriosis is an important septicemic bacterial disease that affects a variety of commercial fish species, including cultured Dicentrarchus labrax. Nanotechnology has become an important modern tool for fish diseases prevention. Furthermore, nanomaterials have the ability to prevent and treat fish diseases. The current study was aimed to identify the causative agent of massive mortality of D. labrax commercial farm in Alexandria, Egypt. Experimental infection and the median lethal dose (LD50) of pathogenic isolate were assessed. Also, the effect of ginger nanoparticles (GNPs) and Sacchromyces cerevisiae as feed additives for prevention of vibriosis in D. labrax was carried out. Similarly, the tissue immunstimulant genes, IL-1β and TLR2 were measured in the spleen of feeding groups. The clinical signs of naturally diseased D. labrax showed corneal opacity and paleness of gills with excessive mucous secretion. The post-mortem abnormalities were severe hemorrhage and adhesion of internal organs. After bacteriological isolation and identification, the causative agent of mortality in the current study was Vibrio alginolyticus. The LD₅₀ of V. alginolyticus was 1.5×10^5.4 CFU/ml. The experimentally infected D. labrax showed ulceration, exophthalmia and skin hemorrhages. The post-mortem findings of the experimentally infected D. labrax revealed internal hemorrhage, spleen darkness and paleness of liver. There is no mortality and 100% RPS in groups fed GNPs then injected with V. alginolyticus, in those fed a combination of GNPs and S. cerevisiae and a group fed normal diet then injected with physiological saline (control negative), respectively. Contrarily, there was 10% mortality and 87.5 RPS in the group fed S. cerevisae then injected with V. alginolyticus. On the other hand, the control positive group showed 79% mortality. The spleen IL-1β and TLR2 immunostimulant genes were significantly increased in groups of fish fed GNNP, S. cerevisiae and a combination of GNPs and S. cerevisiae, respectively compared to control group. The highest stimulation of those immunostimulant genes was found in the group fed a combination of GNPs and S. cerevisiae, while fish fed S. cerevisiae had the lowest level. Dietary combination of GNPs and S. cerevisiae was shown to be efficient in preventing of vibriosis, with greatest stimulation of spleen IL-1β and TLR2 immunostimulant genes.

본 연구에서는 고지방식이(HFD)를 급식하여 제조한 비만마우스 모델을 사용하여 berberine (BBR)과 silibinin (SBN) 복합투여가 혈중 지질대사 및 항비만 개선 효능에 유의적인 시너지 효과가 있는지 조사하였다. HFD로 유도된 비만마우스를 8 주 동안 HFD의 지속적인 제공와 함께 BBR 및 SBN (BBR-SBN) 조합을 투여하였다. 실험이 진행되는 동안 체중과 식이량을 측정하였고 혈중 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방 및 HDL 콜레스테롤 수준을 분석하였다. HFD를 제공한 마우스는 정상 대조군(NC) 그룹에 비해 체중과 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수치가 급격히 증가했다. 그러나 이러한 비만마우스에 BBR-SBN조합을 투여하였을 때 체중 증가가 현저하게 감소하였고 HDL 콜레스테롤 수치가 증가하였으며 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수치는 유의하게 억제되었다. HFD그룹의 복부지방 무게는 유의하게 증가했으며 부고환 지방조직 내의 지방세포의 크기가 NC 그룹에 비해 크게 확장된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 BBR-SBN 그룹에서는 지방세포의 크기가 NC 그룹의 크기와 비슷했으며 복부지방 무게가 현저하게 감소하였다. 더불어, HFD 그룹에서 보이는 간 조직의 거대 소포성 지방구의 축적은 BBR-SBN 그룹에서 크게 감소되었다. 이러한 결과는 BBR-SBN 조합이 HFD 유발 비만마우스에서 체중 및 복부 지방 증가를 현저하게 감소시키는 경향이 있으며 혈청 내의 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수준을 낮추어 항비만 효능을 개선시킬 수 있는 가능성을 보여주는 것으로 앞으로 항비만 치료 및 개선제제로서의 잠재력을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

Objectives We evaluated the improving effects of Taeksa-tang (TST) using 3T3-L1 cells and C57BL/6 mice were fed on a high-fat diet. Methods The anti-radical activities of TST were studied using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid). The content of total polyphenol was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, whereas aluminum chloride colorimetric method was used for the content of total flavonoid. Moreover, the factors related to lipid profile and the protein expressions such as 𝛽-oxidation and anti-oxidant enzyme were analyzed using serum and western blotting of 3T3-L1 cells. Additionally, we examined lipolysis through glycerol appearance in mouse adipose tissue. Results TST treatment showed strong free radical scavenging activities with half maximal inhibitory concentration and the presence of a amount of total polyphenol and total flavonoid. TST treatment significantly increased factors related to 𝛽-oxidation such as carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 and uncoupling protein 2 via the phosphorlyation of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Moreover, the protein expressions of anti-oxidant enzyme and lipolysis were significantly elevated by TST administration. In addition, TST supplementation lowered serum malondialdehyde, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels compared with the control group. Taken together, these data suggest that TST treatment regulated lipid parameters via the increase of 𝛽-oxidation by LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway. Conclusions TST may have a potential remedy in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Therefore, this study may provide the scientific basis for TST use.

A high salt diet contributes to kidney damage by causing hypoxia and oxidative stress. Recently, an increase in dietary salt has been reported to induce an inflammatory phenotype in immune cells, further contributing to kidney damage. However, studies on the exact mechanism and role of a high salt diet on the inflammatory response in the kidneys are still insufficient. In this study, a cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury model using C57BL/6 mice was used to analyze the effect of salt intake on kidney injury. Results showed that high salt administration aggravated kidney edema in mice induced by treatment with cisplatin. Moreover, the indicators of kidney and liver function impairment were significantly increased in the group cotreated with high salt compared with that treated with cisplatin alone. Furthermore, the exacerbation of kidney damage by high salt administration was also associated with a decrease in the number of cells in the immune regulatory system. Additionally, high salt administration further decreased renal perfusion functions along with increased cisplatin-induced damage to proximal tubules. This was accompanied by increased expression of T cell immunoglobulin, mucin domain 1 (a biomarker of kidney injury), and Bax (a pro-apoptotic factor). Moreover, cisplatin-induced expression of proinflammatory mediators and cytokines, including cyclooxygenase-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α in kidney tissue, was further increased by high salt intake. Therefore, these results indicate that the kidney's inflammatory response by high salt treatment can further promote kidney damage caused by various pathological factors.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture on the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis rats. Methods Osteoarthritis was induced by injection of MIA ($50{\mu}L$ with 80 mg/mL) into knee joint cavity of rats. Rats were divided into 6 groups. Normal group was injected by normal saline into knee joint cavity only. Control group was induced for osteoarthritis by MIA and orally administered with distilled water. Normal Saline group was induced for osteoarthritis by MIA and injected with normal saline $100{\mu}L$. Positive comparison group was injected with MIA and orally administered with indomethacin 5 mg/kg. Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture low concentration (CL) group was induced for osteoarthritis by MIA and injected with Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture low concentration $100{\mu}L$. Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture high concentration (CH) group was induced for osteoarthritis by MIA and injected with Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture high concentration $100{\mu}L$. Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture was injected at ST35 and EX-LE4 each group (CL, CH). After that, hind paw weight distribution was measured and oxidative stress biomarker in serum, liver function biomarker in serum, western blot analysis were measured. Histological analysis of knee joint tissue was performed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, Safranin-O staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Results Hind paw weight distribution was significantly improved in both group. alanine aminotransferanse and aspartate aminotransferase were decreased significantly in CH group compare with Indomethacin threated group. Antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, Catalase and heme oxygenase-1 were increased in CH group compare with control group. Inflammatory cytokine cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and interleukin-1 beta were decreased significantly in CH group. Histological analysis result shows that protective effects of joint and cartilage were observed in both CH and CL groups in a concentration-dependent. Conclusions The result suggest that Curcumae Longae Rhizoma pharmacopuncture has anti-oxidation effect, anti-inflammatory effect and also can prevent progression of osteoarthritis and protect joint cartilage.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a novel formulation of an herbal extracts has an inhibitory effect on obesity. To determine its anti-obesity effects, we performed anti-obesity-related experiments in vitro and in vivo. Thus, our present study was carried out to evaluate the anti-obesity effect of herbal extracts using a high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse model and 3T3-L1 adipose cells. The effects of each herbal extracts on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells were examined using Oil Red O staining. Results showed that treatment with each herbal extracts at $10{\sim}100{\mu}g/ml$ had no effect on cell morphology and viability. Without evidence of toxicity, herbal extracts treatment decreased lipid accumulation compared with the untreated adipocytes controls as shown by the lower absorbance of Oil Red O stain. Futhermore, compared with control-differentiated mature adipocytes, each herbal extracts significantly inhibited lipid accumulation in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In the HFD-fed obese mice, body weight, liver weight and white adipose tissue weights were significantly reduced by mixture of herbal extracts administration in mouse skin. Futhermore, we found that mixture of herbal extracts administration suppressed serum triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TCHO) in HFD-induced obese mouse model. The mixture of herbal extracts of permeability was estimated by measuring the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) value in pig skin. The optimized formulations of herbal extracts (Test 3 formulation) showed skin permeation. However, test 1 formulation containing essential oil as enhancer showed maximum skin permeation. After confirming the enhanced skin permeability, in vivo studies were performed to assess whether skin irritation potential on the basis of a primary irritation index (PII) in rabbit skin. Reactions were scored for erythema/edema reactions at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post-application. It was concluded that the test 1 formulation was not irritation (PII = 0). The present study suggests that the test 1 formulation might be of therapeutic interest with respect to the treatment of obesity.

Objective: This study was conducted with the objectives to examine the impacts of inorganic selenium (Se) and different types and levels of organic selenium on the serum and tissues Se status and antioxidant capacity in broiler breeders. Methods: Five hundred and forty 48-wk-old Lingnan Yellow broiler breeders were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments, provided same basal diet (0.04 mg/kg of Se) with 0.15 mg/kg, or 0.30 mg/kg of Se from sodium selenite (SS) or from selenium-enriched yeast (SY) or from selenomethionine (SM). The broiler breeders were slaughtered after an 8-wk experiment. Results: The results showed that SM was better than SY and SS, 0.30 mg/kg level was better than 0.15 mg/kg level in Se deposition (p<0.05) in serum, liver, kidney, pancreas and muscle; in antioxidant status, organic selenium had better effects than SS in broiler breeders (p<0.05), but SM and SY had a similar result, and 0.15 mg/kg level was better than 0.30 mg/kg (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results demonstrated the evident advantage of supplementation of broiler breeders with 0.15 mg/kg SM, which improved tissue Se concentrations and antioxidant status, and can be considered as the best selenium source.
