A technique for detection of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, a causal bacterium of canker on Unshiu orange fruits, was developed using bacteriophage. Procedure for the detection was designed on the basis of the previous reports that one group(CPI) of X. axonopodis pv. citri bacteriophage and corresponding two Iysotypes distributed in Korea. First, fruit surface was washed with sterile distilled water and pellet was obtained from centrifugation. The pellet was resuspended in Wakimoto's potato semi-synthetic broth medium and divided equally into two parts. One part was heated in boiling water to kill bacterial cells. Bacteriophages(CP$_1$) were respectively added into two parts and 0.1 ml from each part was mixed with soft agar medium. After incubation for 18 hrs at 25$^{\circ}C$, the causal bacterium of canker was determined based on plaques formed on the medium. This procedure can be effectively used for detection of living bacterial pathogen on fruit surfaces of Unshiu orange.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the levels of serum 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and evaluate their association with age, body mass index, smoking, military record-based variables, and estimated exposure to Agent Orange in Korean Vietnam veterans. Methods: Serum levels of TCDD were analyzed in 102 Vietnam veterans. Information on age, body mass index, and smoking status were obtained from a self-reported questionnaire. The perceived exposure was assessed by a 6-item questionnaire. Two proximitybased exposures were constructed by division/brigade level and battalion/company level unit information using the Stellman exposure opportunity index model. Results: The mean and median of serum TCDD levels was 1.2 parts per trillion (ppt) and 0.9 ppt, respectively. Only 2 Vietnam veterans had elevated levels of TCDD (>10 ppt). The levels of TCDD did not tend to increase with the likelihood of exposure to Agent Orange, as estimated from either proximity-based exposure or perceived self-reported exposure. The serum TCDD levels were not significantly different according to military unit, year of first deployment, duration of deployment, military rank, age, body mass index, and smoking status. Conclusions: The average serum TCDD levels in the Korean Vietnam veterans were lower than those reported for other occupationally or environmentally exposed groups and US Vietnam veterans, and their use as an objective marker of Agent Orange exposure may have some limitations. The unit of deployment, duration of deployment, year of first deployment, military rank, perceived self-reported exposure, and proximity-based exposure to Agent Orange were not associated with TCDD levels in Korean Vietnam veterans. Age, body mass index and smoking also were not associated with TCDD levels.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of orange (Citrus auranthium) flesh (OF) and peel (OP) extracted with acetone, ethanol, and methanol. Antioxidant potential was examined by measuring total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (RSA), total radical-trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and cellular antioxidant activity (CAA). The comet assay was used to determine the protective effects of OF and OP against $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage. TPC was highest in the acetone extracts of OF and OP. DPPH RSA was also higher in the acetone extracts than in the ethanol extracts. The DPPH RSA was highest in the acetone extracts of OF. The TRAP and ORAC values of the all extracts increased in a dose-dependent manner. In the TRAP assay, the acetone extracts of OF and OP had the lowest $IC_{50}$ values. In the CAA assay, the methanol and acetone extracts of OP had the lowest $IC_{50}$ values. All of the samples protected against $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage in human leukocytes, as measured by the comet assay, but the acetone extracts of OP had the strongest effect. These results suggest that acetone is the best solvent for the extraction of antioxidant compounds from OF and OP. Furthermore, the high antioxidant activity of OP, which is a by-product of orange processing, suggests that it can be used in nutraceutical and functional foods.

2010년 진주시 농산물도매시장에 구입한 감귤에서 이상증상이 발생하였다. 상처 난 감귤 껍질이 수침상으로 물러지고 부패하기 시작하였다. 병징으로부터 분리한 감자한천 배지에서 곰팡이는 연한 갈색의 균총과 검은색의 포자낭을 형성하였다. 균사생육 적온은 $30^{\circ}C$이었으나 $37^{\circ}C$에서도 생육이 가능하였다. 포자낭경은 흰색에서 갈색이며 크기는 $6{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$ 이었다. 포자낭은 흰색에서 검은색으로 변하며 구형 또는 반구형으로 크기는 $40{\sim}200\;{\mu}m$이었다. 주축은 구형 또는 반구형으로 크기는 $85{\sim}120\;{\mu}m$이었다. 포자낭포자는 담갈색, 단포이며 구형으로 크기는 $4{\sim}10\;{\mu}m$이었다. 이상과 같은 병원균의 균학적 특징, ITS 염기서열 유사도, 병원성 검정 결과, 본 병해를 Rhizopus oryzae에 의한 감귤 무름병으로 명명할 것을 제안한다.

피부 염증 개선용 화장품 천연소재를 탐색하고자 피부 염증 유발 미생물 6종에 운향과 과실류 에탄올 추출물을 농도별로 처리하여 항균력을 비교 조사하였다. 운향과 과실류는 전과와 과피로 나누어 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 파우더 형태로 만들어 사용하였다. 그 결과 Staphylococcus aureus 균주를 제외한 5종의 균주에서는 항균활성을 확인할 수 있었고, 특히, Staphylococcus epidermidis 균주에 대한 항균활성이 생 레몬 전과에서 가장 우수하였다. Escherichia coli 균주에서는 생 레몬 전과와 생 탱자 과피에서만, Propionibacterium acnes 균주에서는 건조 레몬 전과에서만 항균활성이 확인되었다. Pityrosporum ovale 균주에 대한 항균활성은 생과의 경우 유자 전과, 레몬 전과, 밀감 껍질 순으로 항균활성을 확인할 수 있었고 건과 중에서는 오렌지 껍질, 탱자 껍질, 밀감 껍질, 레몬 껍질 순으로 항균활성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과 운향과 과실류 중에서 피부 염증 유발과 관련된 피부 상재균에 대해 전반적으로 높은 항균활성을 나타낸 것으로 확인된 레몬이 피부 염증 개선용 화장품 천연소재로서 사용 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

Parts used of it Rhizomes and is known to be used a medicinal stuff yellow dye stuff from past to nowadays in the Oriental region. The objectives of this study were to investigate and to compare to the dyeability of Turmeric according to pH, temperature, mordants, and the antimicrobial properties of wool dyed with turmeric. The results of this study are as follows: The wavelengths of the strongest absorption of Turmeric extract were 420 nm respectively. The extracted dye from Turmeric has affinity to wool. The dyeing rates are decreased according to diluting times and the dyeing rates are increased according to high temperature. The color of pH 3-7 is yellow green, over pH 9 is turned to orange yellow. The color of the non-mordant sample is yellow but it changed to bright yellow by Al, to orange yellow by Cu mordant, and to brown yellow by Fe mordant. The launder fastness and is not good, 2-4 grade and the light fastness is bad, 2-3 grade, but the dry-cleaning fastness is generally good, 4-5 grade. The fabrics dyed with Turmeric extract showed high antibacterial property on Staphylococcus aureus.

Acanthopanax species have traditionally been used as a tonic, a sedative as well as in the treatment of rheumatism, hypertension and diabetes. In the present study, oxidative stress was induced in Vero cells by incubating the cells with glucose and the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The concentration of glucose which 50% of cell viability was 125 mM $(IC_{50})$ and the cell viability was increased to $87.6{\pm}8.8%$ by treatment of the extracts of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus. The antioxidative activity of water extract of different parts of the Acanthopanax plant was investigated by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, xylenol orange assay, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) assay and enzyme (superoxide anion and catalase) assay. Each extract (leaves, root, stem and fruits) of the plant showed free radical and $H_2O_2$ scavenging activity. The extract also inhibited lipid peroxidation and recovered enzyme (superoxide anion dismutase and catalase) activity in Vero cells treated with glucose.

Phytophthora-induced diseases on citrus in Jeju island have been considered of minor importance because of the use as root stock of trifoliate orange, which is immune to Phytophthora. However, brown rot on fruit, which severely occurred in 1998 and 1999, has become a great threat to citrus production in the island. About one-half of the surveyed orchards were infected in 1998 and 4 out of 19 infected fields showed over 20% fruit infection rate. The disease was less severe in 1999, with an estimated infected area and total fruit reduction of 3,155 ha and 15,300 tons, respectively. Typical gummosis was also occasionally observed on cv. Shiranugi, which is mostly cultivated under plastic film houses. Two types of Phytophthora were consistently isolated from various plant parts, identified as P. citrophthora and P. nicotianae. The former was isolated from the aerial parts of the fruit, young leaf, and shoot in the fields. Meanwhile, the latter was only isolated from the basal stem showing gummosis in plastic film houses.
