Objectives: In this study, we investigated the potential of amoxicillin-loaded polymeric microspheres to be delivered to tooth root infection sites via a bioactive reparative cement. Materials and Methods: Amoxicillin-loaded microspheres were synthesized by a spray-dray method and incorporated at 2.5% and 5% into a mineral trioxide aggregate cement clinically used to induce a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and necrotic pulp. The formulations were modified in liquid:powder ratios and in composition by the microspheres. The optimized formulations were evaluated in vitro for physical and mechanical eligibility. The morphology of microspheres was observed under scanning electron microscopy. Results: The optimized cement formulation containing microspheres at 5% exhibited a delayed-release response and maintained its fundamental functional properties. When mixed with amoxicillin-loaded microspheres, the setting times of both test materials significantly increased. The diametral tensile strength of cement containing microspheres at 5% was similar to control. However, phytic acid had no effect on this outcome (p > 0.05). When mixed with modified liquid:powder ratio, the setting time was significantly longer than that original liquid:powder ratio (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Lack of optimal concentrations of antibiotics at anatomical sites of the dental tissues is a hallmark of recurrent endodontic infections. Therefore, targeting the controlled release of broad-spectrum antibiotics may improve the therapeutic outcomes of current treatments. Overall, these results indicate that the carry of amoxicillin by microspheres could provide an alternative strategy for the local delivery of antibiotics for the management of tooth infections.

Objective: This study was to evaluate the effects of individual or combinational use of phytase, protease, and xylanase on total tract digestibility of corn, soybean meal, and distillers dried grains with soluble (DDGS) fed to pigs. Methods: Each experiment had four 4×4 Latin squares using 16 barrows. Each period had 5-d adaptation and 3-d collection. All experiments had: CON (no enzyme); Phy (CON+phytase); Xyl (CON+xylanase); Pro (CON+protease); Phy+Xyl; Phy+Pro, Xyl+Pro, Phy+Xyl+Pro. Each Latin square had 'CON, Phy, Xyl, and Phy+Xyl'; 'CON, Phy, Pro, and Phy+Pro'; 'CON, Pro, Xyl, and Xyl+Pro'; and 'Phy+Xyl, Phy+Pro, Xyl+Pro, Phy+Xyl+Pro'. Results: The digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and nitrogen retention (NR) of corn were not affected by enzymes but the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of phosphorus (P) was improved (p<0.01) by Phy. The DE and ATTD dry matter (DM) in soybean meal were increased (p<0.05) by Phy+Pro and the ATTD P was improved (p<0.01) by Phy, Phy+Pro, and Phy+Xyl. The DE, ME, and ATTD DM in DDGS were improved (p<0.05) by Phy+Xyl and the ATTD P was improved (p<0.01) by Phy, Phy+Pro, and Phy+Xyl. Conclusion: Phytase individually or in combination with xylanase and protease improved the Ca and P digestibility of corn, soybean meal, and DDGS, from the hydrolysis of phytic acid. The supplementation of protease was more effective when combined with phytase and xylanase in the soybean meal and DDGS possibly due to a higher protein content in these feedstuffs. Xylanase was more effective in DDGS diets due to the elevated levels of non-starch polysaccharides in these feedstuffs. However, when xylanase was combined with phytase, it demonstrated a higher efficacy improving the nutrient digestibility of pigs. Overall, combinational uses of feed enzymes can be more efficient for nutrient utilization in soybean meal and DDGS than single enzymes.

피틴산(phytic acid)은 inositol hexaphosphate로서 식물성식품 및 씨 중에 1-5%가량 존재하는 자연 항산화 물질로서 소화효소에 의해 쉽게 분해되지 않는다. 한편 인산염은 식육에서 품질개량제로 식육에서의 항균 효과에 대해서는 이미 여러 보고가 있으나 그 결과는 다양하다. 일반적으로 생육에서는 그 효능이 낮은데 이것은 생육에 존재하는 phosphatase의 작용에 의해 인산염들이 가수분해되기 때문이다. 한편 피틴산염은 열에 강하고 쉽게 분해되지 않으므로 생육이나 멸균 처리된 식육에서 공히 인산염들이 가지고 있는 항균효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 pH가 다른 선택배지에서 Salmonella typhimurium에 대한 피틴산의 항균효과를 평가하였고, 더불어 생육에서 Salmonella typhimurium의 접종 후에 항균 효과를 평가하였다. 선택된 배지인 tryptic soy broth에서 Salmonella typhimurium에 대한 항균 효과는 0.1, 0.5 및 1%의 세 가지 농도에서 농도에 의존적으로 유의성 있게 나타났다. 생육인 닭고기, 돼지고기 및 소고기에 피틴산염을 각각 0.1, 0.5, 그리고 1%의 농도별로 첨가했을 때 Salmonella typhimurium의 증식이 모두 유의성 있게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 또한 피틴산염의 첨가는 모든 식육에서 pH를 0.5-0.6단위만큼 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과로부터 피틴산염은 배지 및 식육에서 항균효과가 뛰어나며 따라서 축산식품의 첨가제로서 사용시 식품의 기능성 향상과 더불어 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

피틴산(Phytic acid)dms inositol hexaphosphate로서 식물성 식품 및 씨 중에 1-5%가량 존재하는 자연 항산화 물질로서 소화효소에 의해 쉽게 분해되지 않는다. 한편 인산염은 식육에서 품질개량제로 식육에서의 항균 효과에 대해서는 이미 여러 보고가 있으나 그 결과는 다양하다. 일반적으로 생육에서는 그 효능이 낮은데 이것은 생육에 존재하는 phosphatase의 작용에 의해 인산염들이 가수분해되기 때문이다. 한편 피틴산염은 열에 강하고 쉽게 분해되지 않으므로 생육이나 멸균 처리된 식육에서 공히 인산염들이 가지고 있는 항균효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 선택배지에서 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 sodium phytate(STP), sodium pyrophosphate(SPP) 및 sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP)의 항균효과를 평가하였고,더불어 생육 및 가열 처리된 식육모델에서 E. coli O157:H7 접종 후에 항균 효과를 비교 평가하였다. 선택된 배지인 tryptic soy broth에서 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 항균 효과는 SPT, SPP 및 STPP의 0.05, 0.1, 0.5%의 세 가지 농도에서 농도에 의존적으로 유의성 있게 세균 증식을 억제시켰으며, 항균효과는 SPP에서 가장 강하게 나타났다. 생육인 닭고기, 돼지고기 및 소고기에 SPT, SPP 및 STPP를 각각 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 그리고 0.5%의 농도별로 첨가했을 때 E. coli O157:H7의 증식이 모두 유의성 있게 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 또한 가열 처리한 식육에서도 이러한 항균효과가 유의적으로 관찰되었으며(p<0.05), SPT는 SPP나 STPP보다 더 강한 항균효과를 보였다. 이러한 항균효과들은 가열처리된 식육보다 생육에서 더욱 강하게 나타났다. SPT, SPP 및 STPP의 첨가는 식육에서 pH를 증가시켰으며, STP의 첨가는 식육에서 soluble orthophosphate 유리에 영향을 주지 않았으나, SPP 및 STPP의 첨가는 식육에서 soluble orthophosphate의 유리를 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과로부터 피틴산염은 이미 알려진 인산염들보다 미약하나마 항균효과가 뛰어나며 더불어 축산식품의 첨가제로서 사용시 식품의 기능성 향상과 더불어 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study was undertaken to observe the effect of sesame in the diet of rats (Splague Dowley). Comparisons were made of weight gains, organ weights and the cholesterol, phospholipid and triglyceride content of the blood serum and liver tissue. Rats weighing 67-80 g were used for the study, while rats weighing 160-165 g were used in the study. In the both studies, the experimental animals were fed on sesame mixtures for 24 weeks. The study was conducted to determine the effect of sesame hulls which are known to contain a high proportion of oxalic acid and phytic acid, which are toxic substances causing various physical disorders. The rats were divided into four groups, a control group which was fed on a standard diet and three groups fed with 20%, 10% and 5% mixtures of sesame seed hulls respectively. The study was designed to observe the same effect, but in this case the rats were divided into two groups, one fed with a 5% mixture of whole sesame seeds and the other with a 5% mixture of dehulled seeds. The results are as follows: 1) An examination of weight gains showed that group I and II which were fed on 20% and 10% mixture of sesame hulls were significantly retarded in comparison with the control group(P<0. 05). 2) Comparisons of organ weights, group I (20% mixture) showed relatively lower weights(P<0.05). 3) The cholesterol content of the blood serum and liver tissue of group I (20% mixture) and group II (10% mixture) were significantly higher than that of the control. 4) The group fed on the whole sesame seed diet and that fed on the dehulled seed diet differed significantly from each other. 5) With the results stated above, the investigators could observe that a high content of sesame hulls in the diet caused retardation in growth and might be the cause of many physical disorders. Though these effects are not important in Korea at present, the increasing intake of sesame seeds and oils indicates that it may become an important problems.

밀기울의 각종 열처리에 따른 밀기울의 화학적 구조 및 기능특성의 변화를 연구하였다. 사용한 열처리의 종류는 toasting, roasting, drum drying, autoclaving+drum drying, microwaving+drum drying, extrusion이였다. 열처리 공정에 의하여 가장 뚜렷한 차이를 보인 것은 수용성 식이섬유의 함량으로서 원료밀기울에 비하여 약 $40{\sim}110%$의 수용성 식이섬유가 증가하였다. 반면에 상대적으로 불용성 식이섬유의 함량도 감소하기 때문에 총 식이섬유 함량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한, 열처리에 의하여 용해도와 보수적이 증가한 반면에 보유력은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 용적밀도와 팽화도는 각각 보수력과 밀접한 관계를 보이지 않았으나, 이들의 곱은 보수력과 높은 상관관계$(R^2=0.94)$를 보였다. 그러나 수용성 성분을 배제한 불용성 성분의 보수력은 용적밀도와 팽화도와의 곱에도 거의 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 밀기울의 외형적 구조변화에 대한 관찰은 열처리에 따른 밀기울의 화학적 및 기능적 특징에 대한 결과를 잘 반영해주었다.

Rice is a staple food for more than 50% of the world's population. Embryo comprises only 2 to 3% of the weight distribution of the entire pericarp but has higher concentration of vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids than the other parts of grains. Moreover, ${\alpha}$-tocoperol, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol, phytic acid and ${\gamma}$-aminobutric acid that have nutraceutical value are abundant. Increasing the volume of embryo assures the fortification of nutritional value of rice grain. We developed new black waxy giant embryo rice, Milyang 263 by crossing Josaengheugchal, a black waxy rice variety, and $ge^t$, a giant embryo mutant generated by tissue culture. The nutrient contents and physical properties of Milyang 263 were compared with several giant embryo mutants and normal embryo rice varieties. Changes in the nutrient properties after germination were also observed. Results indicated that this new black waxy giant embryo rice, Milyang 263, offers a promising source for improving nutritional quality of rice especially anthocyanin, essential minerals, and GABA.

The use of a suitable methodology to quantify the phytate phosphorus ($P_{phy}$) content in both the feed and the excreta from broilers is required to enable accurate calculation of the catalytic efficiency of the phytase supplemented in the feed. This study was conducted to compare 2 analytical methodologies (colorimetry and also high-performance liquid chromatography with a refractive index detector) in order to calculate the phytase efficiency by utilizing the results from the methodology that was shown to be the most appropriate. One hundred and twenty broilers were distributed in a $(4+1){\times}2$ factorial arrangement, corresponding to 4 diets that were equally deficient in P supplemented with increasing levels of phytase (0, 750, 1,500, and 2,250 units of phytase activity - FTU - per kg of feed) plus 1 positive control diet without phytase, supplied to male and female birds. The result indicated that the colorimetric methodology with an extraction ratio of 1:20 (mass of sample in g:volume of the solvent extractor in mL) was shown to be the most adequate. There was no interaction between the phytase level and the sex of the broilers (p>0.05). Males consumed 12% more $P_{phy}$ than did females (p<0.01), but the sex of the broilers did not affect (p>0.05) the excretion and retention coefficient of $P_{phy}$. The increase in the phytase level of the diet reduced (linear, p<0.01) the $P_{phy}$ excretion. The greatest $P_{phy}$ retention was estimated at 87.85% when the diet contained 1,950 FTU/kg (p<0.01), indicating that it is possible to reduce the inorganic P in the formulation at an amount equivalent to 87.85% of the $P_{phy}$ content present in the feed, which, in this research, corresponds to a decrease in 2.86 g of P/kg of the feed.

Soyfoods have potential roles in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, most notably cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. There is evidence that carcinogenesis are supressed by isolated soybean derived products in vivo such as a protease inhibitor, phytic acid, saponins and isoflavones. It is believed that supplementation of human diets with soybean products markedly reduces human cancer mortality rates. Especially, recent papers recognize the potential benefit of soybean isoflavone components for reducing the risk of various cancers. Isoflavones exhibit a multitude of medicinal effects that influence cell growth and regulation, which may have potential value in the prevention and treatment of cancer. In addition to potential biological effects, soybean isoflavones have the important physiological functions such as the induction of Bradyrizobium japonicum nod genes and the responses of soybean tissues to infection by Phytophthora megasperma as well as biochemical activities such as antifungal and antibacterial actions. Genistin, daidzin, glycitin and their aglycone (genistein, daidzein, glycitein) are the principal isoflavones found in soybean. Malonyl and acetyl forms have also been detected but they are thermally unstable and are usually transformed during the processing in glucoside form. Most soy products, with the exception of soy sauce, alcohol-extracted soy protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate, have total isoflavone concentrations similar to those in the whole soybean. Soybean-containing diets inhibit mammary tumorigenesis in animal models of breast cancer, therefore, it is possible that dietary isoflavones are an important factor accounting for the lower incidence and mortality from breast cancer. Of the total soybean seed isoflavones, $80\~90\%$ were located in cotyledons, with the remainder in the hypocotyls. The hypocotyls had a higher concentrations of isoflavones on a weight basis compared with cotyledons. Isoflavone contents were influenced by genetics, crop years, and growth locations. The effect of crop year had a greater impact on the isoflavone contents than that of location. The climate condition might be the attribution factor to variation in isoflavone contents. Also, while the isoflavone content of cotyledons exhibited large variations in response to high temperature during seed development, hypocotyls showed high concentration in isoflavone content. So, it is concluded that one of the factors affecting isoflavone content in soybean seeds is temperature during seed development. High temperature, especially in maturity stage, causes lower isoflavone content in soybean seed. It is also suggested that there may exist a different mechanism to maintain isoflavone contents between cotyledon and seed hypocotyls. In a conclusion, soy foods may be able to have a significant beneficial impact on public health.
