본 연구는 산업체에서 발생되는 총 19종 부산물들의 동물사료로의 활용성을 증대시킬 목적으로 유기성 부산물들의 배출 현장을 방문하여 부산물 발생 및 이용 현황을 조사하고, 각각의 화학적 특성을 평가하고, 분석된 화학적 성분들 중에서 부산물 사료의 동물 소화율을 예측할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 지표를 발굴하고, 사료 배합비 설계 시 실제 분석치 대신 문헌 성분표상의 수치 이용의 위험성을 진단하기 위해서 실시되었다. 실험 결과, 부산물들의 발생 현황 및 이용 현황은 매우 다양하였다. 부산물들을 영양적 주성분에 따라 분류하였을 때, 과일가공부산물(사과박, 감껍질, 배박, 포도박)과 제과부산물은 에너지 사료에 속하였고, 비지, 동물성 사료(혈액, 우모분, 닭내장), 유가공슬러지는 단백질 사료에 속하였으며, 대두피, 버섯잔사, 맥아피, 폐지, 육계분은 조사료에 속하였다. 반추위내용물과 식당 원 남은 음식물의 영양적 특성은 각각 소 TMR사료와 양돈용 배합사료 성분에 근접하였다. 대두박과 비교해서 아미노산 함량은 혈액과 우모분은 상대적으로높았고 (P<0.05), 맥아근, 유가공 슬러지, 식당원 남은 음식물들은 상대적으로 낮았다 (P< 0.05). 단백질 원 부산물사료들의 펩신 소화율은 66~99%의 범위에 속하였다. 부산물 종류에 상관없이 in vitro 건물 소화율은 식당 원 남은 음식물, 제과부산물, 사과박, 대두피, 배박, 감껍질, 맥아피, 맥아근, 비지, 포도박, 반추위 내용물, 가금부산물, 육계분, 폐지, 버섯잔사, 유가공 슬러지, 우모분, 혈액의 순으로 높았다 (P <0.05). In vitro 건물 소화율은 화학성분들 중에서 비섬유성 탄수화물과 가장 높은 상관관계(r=0.68)를 보였으며, 이는 비섬유성 탄수화물이 부산물 사료들의 소화율 예측 시 신뢰성 있는 지표로 이용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 부산물 사료들의 실제 화학 분석치와 문헌에 제시된 성분표 상의 수치간의 차이는 큰 편이었다. 따라서 동물 사료 내에 다량의 부산물 사료를 이용할수록 동물 생산성의 극대화를 위해서는 실제 분석치의 이용이 필수적인 것으로 사료되었다.

New group 15 organometallic compounds, M$(phenanthrenyl)_3$ (M = P (1), Sb (2), Bi (3)) have been prepared from the reactions of 9-phenanthrenyllithium with $MCl_3$. A reaction of 9-(diphenylphosphino)phenanthrene with 2,6-diisopropylphenyl azide led to the formation of (phenanthrenyl)${(Ph)}_2P$=N-(2,6-$^iPr_2C_6H_3$) (4). The crystal structures of 2 and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractions, both of which crystallize with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Compound 2 shows a trigonal pyramidal geometry around the Sb atom with three phenanthrenyl groups being located in a screw-like fashion with an approximately $C_3$ symmetry. A significant amount of CH- -$\pi$ interaction exists between two independent molecules of 4. The phosphorus center possesses a distorted tetrahedral environment with P-N bond lengths of 1.557(3)$\AA$ (P(1) N) and 1.532(3)$\AA$ (P(2)-N), respectively, which are short enough to support a double bond character. One of the most intriguing structural features of 4 is an unusually diminished bond angle of C-N-P, attributable to the hydrogen bonding of N(1)-H(5A) [ca. 2.49$\AA$ between two adjacent molecules in crystal packing. The compounds 1-3 show purple emission both in solution and as films at room temperature with emission maxima ($\lambda_{max}$) at 349, 366, and 386 nm, respectively, attributable to the ligand centered $\pi$ $\rightarrow$ $\pi^\ast$ transition in phenanthrene contributed by the lone pair electrons of the Gp 15 elements. Yet the nature of luminescence observed with 4 differs in that it originates from $\pi$ (diisopropylbenzene)-$\pi^\ast$ (phenanthrene) transitions with the $\rho\pi$contribution from the nitrogen atom. The emission maximum of 4 is red-shifted ranging 350-450 nm due to the internal charge transfer from the phenanthrenyl ring to the N-arylamine group as deduced from the ab initio calculations.

공기중에 존재하는 여러 산화성 물질들은 호흡기의 손상과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있으며 이와같은 산화성 물질에 의한 손상은 폐에 존재하는 항산화 물질이나 항산화 효소들에 의해 감소 또는 예방될 수 있다. 저자들은 폐의 항산화방어 기전에 대한 흡연의 영향을 흰쥐에서 관찰하였다. 횐쥐를 6개피의 담배연기에 일일 20분씩 90일간 전신 폭로했을때 조직내의 catalase와 superoxlde dismutase(SOD)의 활성이 유의하게 증가되었다(p<0.05) 그러나 glutathione peroxidase의 활성도는 변화되지 않았고 thiol 화합물의 함량은 흡연 시작후 15일에 44%까지 감소되었으나 그후 정상으로 회복되었다. 한편, 횐쥐를 1, 3, 5, 10 및 20개피의 담배연기에 같은 방법으로 15일간 노출시켰을때, catalase는 개피수에 따라서 증가되었고 총 SOD의 활성도는 5개피 이하에서만 특이하게 증가되었으며 대부분 Zn-SOD이었다. 폐에는 한 종의 Cu, Zn-SOD (pI 4.9)와 CN에 내성이 있는 두종의 Mn-SOD(pI 4.7, pI 7.9)가 존재하였고, 등전점이 4.7인 Zn-SOD가 주된 동위효소로써 흡연에 의해 유도되는 형태였다. 이 결과들은 흡연으로부터 폐의 보호는 초기에는 항산화 물질들의 소모로, 그리고 만성 흡연의 경우는 항산화 효소들의 유도로 이루어지며. 특히 Zn-SOD (pI 4.7)와 catalase가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

단백질 번역 후 O-GlcNAc 수식은 단백질 조절의 새로운 기전으로 대두되고 있다. 전통적인 당수식과 달리 O-GlcNAc 수식은 단 한번의 O-GlcNAc 전달로 이루어지며, 핵 및 세포질단백질 모두에 수식될 수 있다. O-GlcNAc은 이 분자를 끝으로 하는 최종수식으로 생각되어 왔으나, 최근의 논문(J Proteome Res. 2011 10:2725-2733)은 AP180 단백질에 O-GlcNAc-P가 존재함을 보고하였다. 이 논문은 O-GlcNAc-P가 일반적인 단백질수식인지에 대한 중요한 질문을 던진다. 이에 답하고자 저자들은 HEK293T 세포에 O-GlcNAc 인산화효소 NAGK를 DsRed2에 연결한 DsRed2-$NAGK_{WT}$ 혹은 효소활성이 없는 돌연변이 NAGK를 표현하는 DsRed2-$NAGK_{D107A}$를 표현시키고, 단백질 추출물을 얻어 2D-PAGE로 분리한 후 인산화 정도를 측정하여, $NAGK_{WT}$에 의하여 인산화가 증가되는 15개의 단백질 스폿을 선별하였다. 이 가운데 7개 스팟을 동정한 결과 2개의 스폿은 O-GlcNAc 수식 단백질인 $HSP90{\beta}$, 다른 2개의 스폿도 O-GlcNAc 수식 단백질인 ENO1로 동정되었으며, 나머지(dUTP nucleotidohydrolase mitochondrial isoform 2, glutathione S-transferase P, grp94)는 O-GlcNAc 수식 여부를 아직 모르는 단백질이였다. NAGK에 의하여 O-GlcNAc 단백질의 인산화가 증가된다는 사실은 O-GlcNAc이 인산화되어 O-GlcNAc-P로 수식됨을 시사하며, 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 O-GlcNAc이 최종 수식이 아님을 지지한다.

The molecular size reduction and the formation of bitterness during a tryptic hydrolysis of soybean 11S glycinin were determined by using quantitative analysis and organoleptic evaluation. The 11S glycinin of 90% purity was prepared by cryoprecipitation and Con A Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and hydrolyzed with trypsin in a pH-stat reactor for 4 h. Bitterness was formed within 1 h of hydrolysis, and then slowly increased up to $3.5\times10^{-5}$ M quinine-HCl equivalent. The extent of hydrolysis (DH) was 7% at 1 h and increased up to 12% by the end of the reaction. The -amino nitrogen content increased from an initial 0.7 mM to 7 mM at the end of the period. The SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the acidic subunit of 11S glycinin was mostly hydrolyzed. The GP-HPLC analysis indicated that the bitterness was mainly contributed by the peptide fractions of molecular weights of 360-2,100 Da.

We aimed to understand the molecular changes in host cells that accompany infection by the seasonal influenza A H1N1 virus because the initial response rapidly changes owing to the fact that the virus has a robust initial propagation phase. Human epithelial alveolar A549 cells were infected and total RNA was extracted at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h post infection (h.p.i.). The differentially expressed host genes were clustered into two distinct sets of genes as the infection progressed over time. The patterns of expression were significantly different at the early stages of infection. One of the responses showed roles similar to those associated with the enrichment gene sets to known 'gp120 pathway in HIV.' This gene set contains genes known to play roles in preventing the progress of apoptosis, which infected cells undergo as a response to viral infection. The other gene set showed enrichment of 'Drug Metabolism Enzymes (DMEs).' The identification of two distinct gene sets indicates that the virus regulates the cell's mechanisms to create a favorable environment for its stable replication and protection of gene metabolites within 8 h.

One hundred and eighty two lactic acid bacteria, isolated mainly from kimchi, including reference strains were examined for their ability to utilize 95 carbon sources. The test strains were assigned to 5 major, 1 minor and 12 single-membered clusters based on the $S_{SM}$, UPGMA algorithm (at similarity of $80{\%}$). These aggregate clusters were equivalent to the genus Leuconostoc (aggregate cluster M and N), the genus Lactobacillus (aggregate cluster Q and R), and the genera Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc (aggregate cluster O and P) according to the database of the Biolog system. This study demonstrates that rapid identification and classification of isolates originating from kimchi can be achieved on the basis of such carbon source utilization tests.

Background: Maintenance chemotherapy is one strategy pursued in recent years with intent to break through the chemotherapy plateau for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, given the toxicity, platinum-based combinations are rarely given for this purpose. We carried out the present prospective study of triplet platinum-based combination sequential chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC to investigate if patients could tolerate and benefit from such intensive treatment. Methods: From Dec 2003 to Dec 2007, 190 stage IIIB and IV NSCLC patients in Sun yat-sen University sequentially received the 3 platinum-based combination (TP-NP-GP) treatment (T: paclitaxol175$mg/m^2$ d1; N: vinorelbine25$mg/m^2$ d1 and 8; G: gemcitabine1$g/m^2$ d1 and 8; P: cisplatin20$mg/m^2$ d1-5; repeated every 3 weeks). Patients were followed up to at least 3 years to obtain survival data. Treatment toxicities and the quality of life (QOL) were assessed during the whole treatment. Results: There were 187 patients evaluable. The TP, NP and GP response rates with sequential use were 42.8% (80/187), 41.1% (65/158) and 28.8% (21/73) respectively. Median survival time was 18.2 months and the 1, 2 and 3 year overall survival (OS) rates were 78.7%, 38.5% and 21.3%. Patients receiving > 6 cycles of chemotherapy had significantly longer OS and TTP (MST 25.3 vs. 14.5 months, TTP 15.1 vs. 9.1 months). The QOL on the whole for the patients was improved after chemotherapy. Conclusions: The sequential chemotherapy strategy with triplet platinum-based combination regimens can improve the survival outcome and the quality of life of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Purpose: The chemoresistance of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to cytotoxic drugs, especially intrinsic or acquired multidrug resistance (MDR), still remains a major challenge in the management of HCC. In the present study, possible mechanisms involved in MDR of HCC were identified using a 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant human HCC cell line. Methods: BEL-7402/5-FU cells were established through continuous culturing parental BEL-7402 cells, imitating the pattern of chemotherapy clinically. Growth curves and chemosensitivity to cytotoxic drugs were determined by MTT assay. Doubling times, colony formation and adherence rates were calculated after cell counting. Morphological alteration, karyotype morphology, and untrastructure were assessed under optical and electron microscopes. The distribution in the cell cycle and drug efflux pump activity were measured by flow cytometry. Furthermore, expression of potential genes involved in MDR of BEL-7402/5-FU cells were detected by immunocytochemistry. Results: Compared to its parental cells, BEL-7402/5-FU cells had a prolonged doubling time, a lower mitotic index, colony efficiency and adhesive ability, and a decreased drug efflux pump activity. The resistant cells tended to grow in clusters and apparent changes of ultrastructures occurred. BEL-7402/5-FU cells presented with an increased proportion in S and G2/M phases with a concomitant decrease in G0/G1 phase. The MDR phenotype of BEL-7402/5-FU might be partly attributed to increased drug efflux pump activity via multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), overexpression of thymidylate synthase (TS), resistance to apoptosis by augmentation of the Bcl-xl/Bax ratio, and intracellular adhesion medicated by E-cadherin (E-cad). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) might play a limited role in the MDR of BEL-7402/5-FU. Conclusion: Increased activity or expression of MRP1, Bcl-xl, TS, and E-cad appear to be involved in the MDR mechanism of BEL-7402/5-FU.
