본 연구는 농축 블루베리주스를 제조 시 구연산(CA) 또는 산성메타인산나트륨(ASM)을 산미료로써 이용하여 열처리과정에서 블루베리의 폴리페놀과 안토사이아닌과 같은 기능성 성분농도와 산화방지활성, elastase 억제활성 및 tyrosinase 억제활성 등의 저하를 최소화시키는데 있다. 열처리한 농축 블루베리주스의 색가는 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군이 54.672로 가장 높았고, 1% CA 처리군이 33.034, 대조군이 22.083의 순으로 나타났다. 총 안토사이아닌 함량에서도 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군이 65.747 mg/100 g, 1% CA 처리군, 대조군 순으로 각각 46.022, 30.864 mg/100 g으로 나타났다. 산화방지활성으로써 DPPH radical 소거능의 경우 대조군은 67.983%, 1% CA 처리군은 75.486%, 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군은 87.338%로 나타났다. Elastase 억제활성에서는 대조군, 1% CA, 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군의 결과 값은 각각 26.063, 26.336, 28.285%로 나타났다. Tyrosinase 억제활성에서는 대조군 26.375%, 1% CA 처리군 67.598%, 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군은 77.891% 순으로 높게 나타났다. 모든 분석 치에서 대조군과 1% CA+1% ASM 처리군 간에는 5% 내에서 유의성 차이가 있었다. 본 결과를 통해 ASM처리가 열처리과정에서 기능성성분과 생리활성의 저하를 억제하여주는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며 새로운 산미료로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

배경: 악성종양에서 신생혈관 생성 및 당분해의 증가는 저산소 상태의 미세환경을 나타내며, 이는 종양의 침습성, 전이 및 환자의 예후와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1(HIF-1)는 당원 수송체, 당분해 효소, 혈관내피세포 성장인자 등의 유전자의 전사를 활성화한다고 알려져 있다. 그리고 HIF-1의 전사 활성도는 HIF-$1{\alpha}$ 아단위의 표현이 조절되는 정도에 의존한다. 비소세포 폐암에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 발현이 혈관 생성능, 종양세포 증식능 및 이상형 p53의 축적 등 종양의 생물학적 특성에 미치는 영향과 환자의 수술 후 예후와의 관계를 규명하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년부터 1999년까지 비소세포 폐암으로 진단받고 전폐절제술 혹은 폐엽절제술을 시행 받은 59명의 폐암 환자들에서 얻어진 파라핀 조직 블록을 대상으로 하였다. ABC(avidin-biotin complex) 방법에 기초한 면역조직화학검사를 이용하여 암조직과 정상조직에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$, VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor), p53 단백의 발현을 조사하고, Ki-67의 발현을 이용한 증식지수를 측정하였다. HIF-$1{\alpha}$ 발현과 환자의 생존기간을 포함한 임상적-병리학적 변수들과의 상관관계, VEGF, p53의 발현과 증식지수와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 과발현은 40.7%(24예/59예)였다. HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 과발현은 병리학적 TNM병기(p=0.004), T병기(p=0.020), N병기(p=0.004), 림프관/혈관 침범(p=0.019) 등과 관련이 있었다. 또 혈관내피세포 성장인자의 발현(p<0.001) 및 이상형의 p53의 발현(p=0.040)과 관련성이 있었다. Kaplan-Meier 생존분석에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 과발현이 있는 환자의 5년 생존울은 22%로 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 저발현 환자의 5년 생존율 61%에 비해 불량한 생존율을 보였고, 단변량분석과 다변량분석에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 발현은 불량한 예후를 나타내는 인자로 관찰되었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 비소세포 폐암 환자에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 과발현은 종양내 신생혈관의 생성과 림프절 전이와 관련이 있는 표지자로 여겨지며, 수술 후 불량한 예후를 나타내었다.

Objective: Elevated serum progesterone (P) levels on triggering day have been known to affect the pregnancy rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF). This study aimed to identify the possible factors influencing serum P levels on triggering day in stimulated IVF cycles. Methods: Three hundred and thirty consecutive fresh IVF cycles were included in the study. All cycles were first attempts and were performed in a single infertility center. The indications for IVF were male factor infertility (n=114), ovulatory infertility (n=84), endometriosis (n=61), tubal infertility (n=59), unexplained infertility (n=41), and uterine factor infertility (n=39). A luteal long protocol of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist (n=184) or a GnRH antagonist protocol (n=146) was used for pituitary suppression. Ovarian sensitivity was defined as the serum estradiol level on triggering day per 500 IU of administered gonadotropins (OS[a]) or the retrieved oocyte number per 500 IU of administered gonadotropins (OS[b]). Results: Univariate analysis revealed that the serum P level on triggering day was associated with the serum estradiol level on triggering day (r=0.379, p<0.001), the number of follicles ${\geq}14mm$ (r=0.247, p<0.001), the number of retrieved oocytes (r=0.384, p<0.001), and ovarian sensitivity (OS[a]: r=0.245, p<0.001; OS[b]: r=0.170, p=0.002). The woman's age, body mass index, antral follicle count, and basal serum follicle stimulating hormone and estradiol levels were not associated with serum P level on triggering day. The serum P level on triggering day did not show significant variation depending on the type or cause of infertility, pituitary suppression protocol, or the type of gonadotropins used. Conclusion: The serum P level on triggering day was closely related to the response to ovarian stimulation.

A total of 120 male and 240 female quail (Coturnix coturnix Pharaoh) were used to determine the effect of feeding time on laying and reproductive performance of Pharaoh quail. They were fed ad libitum between 09:00 to 17:00 or full day, daily. Each female-male pair was housed in multiple-bird cages and colony cages. Initial and final body weight, quail-day egg production, feed consumption per egg and mortality were measured to determine laying performance of breeders. A total of 960 eggs were used to determine reproductive performance of quail in each treatment group. Eggs were incubated in a commercial setter and hatcher in standard conditions. Embryonic mortality, apparent fertility, hatchability of total and fertile eggs were calculated to determine the reproductive performance. Results indicated that feeding between 09:00 to 17:00 h reduced final body weight and egg production (p<0.001, p<0.001). Whereas, limited time of feeding improved hatchability of total (p<0.001) and fertile eggs (p<0.001) and reduced embryonic mortality (p<0.001) when compared with the effects of feeding full day. It was found that there were no significant differences for the egg production of quail housed in different cage systems. Quail caged in multiple-bird cages consumed less feed (p<0.01) compared to quail housed in colony cages. There were significant differences for the mortality (p<0.05), hatchability of total (p<0.001) and fertile eggs (p<0.001), and embryonic mortality (p<0.001) during the incubation due to main effect of cage systems. There were significant cage $systems{\times}feeding$ time interactions for hatchability of total and fertile eggs and embryonic mortality (p<0.001). As a conclusion; feeding from 09:00 to 17:00 reduced laying performance of quail and improved the reproductive traits compared to full day feeding of quail breeders. But, further investigations are needed to determine the optimum length of feeding time and egg production of breeders in quail fed limited time must be evaluated in comparison with its beneficial or detrimental effects.

Background: Upfront surgery followed by systemic treatment is recommended to treat clinical stage I-IIA small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but data on the clinical outcomes are sparse. Thus, this study evaluated the stage migration and long-term prognosis of surgically treated clinical stage I-IIA SCLC. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 49 patients with clinical stage I-IIA SCLC who underwent upfront surgery between 2000 and 2020. Additionally, we re-evaluated the TNM (tumor-node-metastasis) staging according to the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system for lung cancer. Results: The clinical stages of SCLC were cIA in 75.5%, cIB in 18.4%, and cIIA in 6.1% of patients. A preoperative histologic diagnosis was made in 65.3% of patients. Lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection were performed in 77.6% and 83.7% of patients, respectively. The pathological stages were pI in 67.3%, pII in 24.5%, pIII in 4.1%, and pIV in 4.1% of patients. The concordance rate between clinical and pathological stages was 44.9%, and the upstaging rate was 49.0%. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 67.8%. No significant difference in OS was found between stages pI and pII. However, the OS for stages pIII/IV was significantly worse than for stages pI/II (p<0.001). Conclusion: In clinical stage I-IIA SCLC, approximately half of the patients were pathologically upstaged, and OS was favorable after upfront surgery, particularly in pI/II patients. The poor prognosis of pIII/IV patients indicates the necessity of intensive preoperative pathologic mediastinal staging.

Background: To determine the cut-off values of the preoperative risk of malignancy index (RMI) used in differentiating benign or malignant adnexal masses and to determine their significance in differential diagnosis by comparison of different systems. Materials and Methods: 191 operated women were assessed retrospectively. RMI of 1, 2, 3 and 4; cut-off values for an effective benign or malignant differentiation together with sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values were calculated. Results: Cut-off value for RMI 1 was found to be 250; there was significant (p<0.001) compatibility at this level with sensitivity of 60%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 75%, specificity of 93%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 88% and an overall compliance rate of 85%. When RMI 2 and 3 was obtained with a cut-off value of 200, there was significant (p<0.001) compatibility at this level for RMI 2 with sensitivity of 67%, PPV of 67%, specificity of 89%, NPV of 89%, histopathologic correlation of 84% while RMI 3 had significant (p<0.001) compatibility at the same level with sensitivity of 63%, PPV of 69%, specificity of 91%, NPV of 88% and a histopathologic correlation of 84%. Significant (p<0.001) compatibility for RMI 4 with a sensitivity of 67%, PPV of 73%, specificity of 92%, NPV of 89% and a histopathologic correlation of 86% was obtained at the cut-off level 400. Conclusions: RMI have a significant predictability in differentiating benign and malignant adnexal masses, thus can effectively be used in clinical practice.

Background: Phytic acid (PA) is a polyphosphorylated carbohydrate that can be found in high amounts in most cereals, legumes, nut oil, seeds and soy beans. It has been suggested to play a significant role in inhibition of colorectal cancer. This study was conducted to investigate expression changes of ${\beta}$-catenin and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and cell proliferation in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence after treatment with rice bran PA by immunocytochemistry. Materials and Methods: Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 equal groups with 12 rats in each group. For cancer induction two intraperitoneal injections of azoxymethane (AOM) were given at 15 mg/kg bodyweight over a 2-weeks period. During the post initiation phase, two different concentrations of PA, 0.2% (w/v) and 0.5% (w/v) were administered in the diet. Results: Results of ${\beta}$-catenin, COX-2 expressions and cell proliferation of Ki-67 showed a significant contribution in colonic cancer progression. For ${\beta}$-catenin and COX-2 expression, there was a significant difference between groups at p<0.05. With Ki-67, there was a statistically significant lowering the proliferating index as compared to AOM alone (p<0.05). A significant positive correlation (p=0.01) was noted between COX-2 expression and proliferation. Total ${\beta}$-catenin also demonstrated a significant positive linear relationship with total COX-2 (p=0.044). Conclusions: This study indicated potential value of PA extracted from rice bran in reducing colonic cancer risk in rats.
