The anticancer activities of petroleum ether extract of Panax ginseng root(crude GX) and its partially purified fraction from silicic acid column chromatography (7:3 GX) were studied with Sarcoma 180(S-180) or Walker carcinosarcoma 256 (Walker 256) in vivo and with L1210 leukemic lympocyte in vitro. Potential cytotoxic activities of the crude GX and against L1210 cells were compared with those of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and saponin derivatives (Panax-diol, Panax-triol, Diol saponin, Triol saponin) in vitro. In order to observe the physiological effects of the crude GX and 7:3 GX on the animals with cancer, hemoglobin(Hb), red blood cell(R.B.C) and white blood cell after treatment with each GX in comparison with corresponding control groups, respectively. The anticancer effects of the crude GX and 7:3 GX were estimated by measuring the survival time of S-180 bearing mice after treatment with them. The experimental results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. The one unit of cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells was equivalent to 2.54$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 0.88$\mu\textrm{g}$of the crude GX and 7:3 GX per ml of culture medium, respectively. 2. The cytotoxic activities of Panax-diol, Panax=triol, Diol saponin and triol saponin against L1210 cells were not detected. 3. The anticancer activities of 5-FU against L1210, S-180 and Walker 256 were very effective in vivo and vitro tests. 4. The significantly increased W.B.C values of mice after inoculation with S-180 cells were reduced to normal range by the crude GX treatment. 5. The significantly decreased Hb values of rats after inoculation with Walker 256 were recovered to normal range by oral administration of the crude GX. 6. The survival times of mice inoculated with S-180 cells were extended about 1.5 to 2 times by the 7:3 GX treatment compared with their control group.

The ignition delay of a dual fuel system has been numerically investigated by adopting a constant volume chamber as a model problem simulating diesel engine relevant conditions. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, consisting of 28 species and 135 elementary reactions, of dimethyl ether (DME) with methane ($CH_{4}$) sub-mechanism has been used in conjunction with the multi-dimensional reactive flow KIVA-3V code to simulate the autoignition process. The start of ignition was defined as the moment when the maximum temperature in the combustion vessel reached to 1900 K with which a best agreement with existing experiment was achieved. Ignition delays of liquid DME injected into air at various high pressures and temperatures compared well with the existing experimental results in a combustion bomb. When a small quantity of liquid DME was injected into premixtures of $CH_{4}$/air, the ignition delay times of the dual fuel system are longer than that observed with DME only, especially at higher initial temperatures. The variation in the ignition delay between DME only and dual fuel case tend to be constant for lower initial temperatures. It was also found that the predicted values of the ignition delay in dual fuel operation are dependent on the concentration of the gaseous $CH_{4}$ in the chamber charge and less dependent on the injected mass of DME. Temperature and equivalence ratio contours of the combustion process showed that the ignition commonly starts in the boundary at which near stoichiometric mixtures could exists. Parametric studies are also conducted to show the effect of additive such as hydrogen peroxide in the ignition delay. Apart from accurate predictions of ignition delay, the coupling between multi-dimensional flow and multi-step chemistry is essential to reveal detailed features of the ignition process.

Polyurethane-ureas(PUUs) were prepared from 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) and various diols including isosorbide. Isosorbide is starch-derived monomer that exhibit a wide range of glass transition temperature and are therefore able to be used in many applications. PUU was synthesized by a pre-polymer polymerization using a catalyst. Successful synthesis of the PUU was characterized by fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Thermal properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis. It was found that by tuning isosorbide content in the resin, their glass transition temperature(Tg) slightly decreased. Physical properties were also determined by tensile strength and X-ray diffraction. There is no significant differences between petroleum-derived diol and isosorbide in XRD analysis. Moreover, their physical and optical properties were determined. The result showed that the poly(tetramethylene ether glycol)/isosorbide-based PUU exhibited enhanced tensile strength, transmittance, transparency and biodegradability compared to the existing diols. After 11 weeks composting, the biodegradability of blends increased in ISB-PUU. The morphology of the fractured surface of blend films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy.

Objective: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays an important role in meat quality. Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes related to pig IMF, especially using pig populations with high IMF content variation, can help to establish novel molecular breeding tools for optimizing IMF in pork and unveil the mechanisms that underlie fat metabolism. Methods: We collected muscle samples of 453 Chinese Lulai black pigs, measured IMF content by Soxhlet petroleum-ether extraction method, and genotyped genome-wide SNPs using GeneSeek Genomic Profiler Porcine HD BeadChip. Then a genome-wide association study was performed using a linear mixed model implemented in the GEMMA software. Results: A total of 43 SNPs were identified to be significantly associated with IMF content by the cutoff p<0.001. Among these significant SNPs, the greatest number of SNPs (n = 19) were detected on Chr.9, and two linkage disequilibrium blocks were formed among them. Additionally, 17 significant SNPs are mapped to previously reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of IMF and confirmed previous QTLs studies. Forty-two annotated genes centering these significant SNPs were obtained from Ensembl database. Overrepresentation test of pathways and gene ontology (GO) terms revealed some enriched reactome pathways and GO terms, which mainly involved regulation of basic material transport, energy metabolic process and signaling pathway. Conclusion: These findings improve our understanding of the genetic architecture of IMF content in pork and facilitate the follow-up study of fine-mapping genes that influence fat deposition in muscle.

Jellyfish is an emerging aquaculture species, farmed for Oriental cuisines and nutraceutical ingredients. This study aimed to examine antioxidative and antimicrobial potentials of various fractions of the jellyfish, Acromitus hardenbergi. The bell and oral arms of the jellyfish were sequentially extracted with petroleum ether (PE), dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform (CHCl₃), methanol (MeOH), and water (H₂O) to extract its bioactive in an increasing polarity gradient. Test fractions were assayed for antiradical activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry, β-carotene-linoleate model and Folin-Ciocalteu assay; and antimicrobial activity against 2 Gram-negative bacteria, 4 Gram-positive bacteria and 2 fungal species using the disc diffusion assay. All fractions were also subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis to identify types of functional groups present. It was found that the hydrophilic extracts (H₂O fractions) possessed the most effective radical scavenging activity (p < 0.05) while the lipophilic extracts (PE fractions) the most active antimicrobial activity, especially against Gram-positive bacteria (p < 0.05). Total oxidation substrates content was found to be highest in the PE fractions of jellyfish bell and oral arms (p < 0.05). FTIR data showed that the H₂O and MeOH fractions contains similar functional groups including -OH, -C=O, -N-H and -S=O groups, while the PE, DCM, and CHCl₃ fractions, the -CH₃, -COOH groups. This study showed that A. hardenbergi contains antioxidants and antimicrobials, thereby supporting the traditional claim of the jellyfish as an anti-aging and health-promoting functional food. Bioassay-guided fractionation approach serves as a critical milestone for the strategic screening, purification, and elucidation of therapeutically significant actives from jellyfish.

본 연구는 간암세포주인 HepG2 cell line에서 녹차씨박 추출물을 에탄올, 석유 에테르, 에틸 아세테이트, 부탄올의 순으로 분획 및 열수 추출물을 조제하여 암세포 증식 억제능을 확인한 후 에탄올 추출물을 선정하여 항종양 및 항염증효과를 생화학적, 분자적 방법으로 분석하였다. 녹차씨박 에탄올 추출물(DGTSE)의 polyphenol 함량을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 EGC($1039.1{\pm}15.26\;{\mu}g/g$)> tannic acid($683.5{\pm}17.61\;{\mu}g/g$)> EC($62.4{\pm}5.00\;{\mu}g/g$)> ECG($24.4{\pm}7.81\;{\mu}g/g$)> EGCG($20.9{\pm}0.96\;{\mu}g/g$)> gallic acid($2.4{\pm}0.68\;{\mu}g/g$)의 순이었으나 caffeic acid는 검출되지 않았다. DGTSE의 농도가 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상에서는 84.13%의 세포 증식 억제능($IC_{50}$: $6.58\;{\mu}g$/mL)을 보여 간암세포의 증식을 효과적으로 억제하였고 제1상효소계인 CYP1A1와 CYP1A2의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. QR 활성은 DGTSE을 $20\;{\mu}g$/mL 농도로 처리 시 대조군에 비해 2.6배 증가하였으며 reporter gene activity로 측정한 ARE 활성은 1.94배로 각각 증가하였다. DGTSE의 처리는 염증생성 인자인 PGE2의 생성과 TNF-${\alpha}$의 단백질 발현은 유의적으로 저해하였으며 cytokine 반응, 염증, 세포성장조절과 같은 다양한 단계에 참여하는 전사인자인 NF${\kappa}$B의 핵으로의 translocation을 억제하였다. 이상의 결과에서 DGTSE은 간암세포인 HepG2 세포계에서 암세포 증식 억제능을 가지며 해독효소인 QR, ARE의 활성을 증진시키고 NF${\kappa}$B의 translocation을 방해하고 TNF-${\alpha}$의 단백질 발현과 $PGE_2$의 생성을 억제하여 암세포의 증식을 억제하였다. 따라서 녹차씨박 추출물에 함유된 암세포 증식효과를 나타내는 생리활성 물질들에 대한 연구가 앞으로 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
