본 연구에서는 15-20 cm 길이의 더덕순을 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 추출물 (CLBE)을 제조하고, H₂O₂로 산화적 스트레스를 유발한 SH-SY5Y세포에 전처리하여 신경세포 보호 효과를 평가하였다. 그 결과, CLBE는 H₂O₂로 자극된 세포에서 세포 손상 및 LDH 방출 억제, ROS 소거를 통하여 세포의 사멸을 막아주었다. 또한 CLBE는 Bcl-2와 Bax 단백질의 발현을 조절함으로써 caspase의 활성을 억제하여 신경세포를 보호하였다. 이상의 연구결과들을 종합할 때, CLBE는 산화적 스트레스에 대하여 신경세포 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 보이며, 향후 신경질환 연구를 위한 치료제 개발 및 고부가가치 식품 소재 개발에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to develop a method to change the color of traditional Dongchimi using natural dyes to meet changing consumer demands. It was intended to improve the manufacturing process ability for color Dongchimi, and the best optimum extraction solvent and method from the natural dyes were proven to be confirmed and valid. The extraction process was evaluated using different solvents including distilled water, 20% ethyl alcohol, and 1% citric acid, and the quantity of the extracted anthocyanin was then measured based on the absorbance. The greatest absorbance was observed when 1% citric acid was used. Based on these findings, it would be most efficient to allow the traditional Dongchimi to produce citric acid naturally instead of using artificial additives during its production. Celosia cristata L. was extracted in its largest quantity when reacted with 20% ethyl alcohol. Therefore, instead of applying Celosia cristata L. to Dongchimi as the sub-ingredient during the preparatory stage, it will be more efficient to use Celosia cristata L. as the fractional ingredient in order to first extraction.

Objective : This study was performed to determine if Scutellaria balicalensis Georgi extract (SbGE) prevents oxidant-induced membrane transport dysfunction in renal tubular cells. Methods : Membrane transport function was estimated by measuring $Na^+$-dependent inorganic phosphate transport in opossum kidney (OK) cells. $H_2O_2$ inhibited phosphate transport in a dose-dependent manner. Results : The inhibitory effect of $H_2O_2$ was significantly prevented SbGE over concentration range of 0.005-0.05%. $H_2O_2$ caused ATP depletion, which was prevented by SbGE. $H_2O_2$ induced the loss of mitochondrial function as evidenced by decreased MTT reduction and its effect was prevented by SbGE. The $H_2O_2$-induced inhibition of phosphate transport was not affected by a potent antioxidant DPPD, but the inhibition was prevented by an iron chelator deferoxamine, suggesting that $H_2O_2$ inhibits $Na^+$-dependent phosphate transport via an iron-dependent nonperoxidative mechanism in renal tubular cells. Conclusion : These data suggest that SbGE may exert the protective effect against oxidant-induced membrane transport dysfunction by a mechanism similar to iron chelators in renal epithelial cells. However, furher studies should be carried out to find the active ingredient(s) of SbGE that exerts the protective effect.

Background: High demand and low supply of fishmeal due to overexploitation of fisheries resources have resulted in a dramatic increase in the price of this ingredient. Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) commercial feed contains approximately 60% fishmeal and limited success has been achieved in identifying sustainable alternative protein sources for this species. Methods: An on-farm feeding trial was conducted to compare a basal diet containing 65% as the control (CONT) with two experimental diets replacing 10% of fishmeal by animal protein (AP₁₀) or 20% of fishmeal by animal and plant protein (APP₂₀). Sub-adult olive flounder averaging 327 ± 9.3 g (mean±SD) were fed one of the three diets in triplicate groups for 16 weeks. Results: Weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, and survival were not significantly different among fish fed all the experimental diets (P > 0.05). Also, non-specific immune responses (superoxide dismutase and lysozyme activity), serum biochemical parameters, and intestinal villi length were not significantly different among fish fed all the experimental diets (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Therefore, based on growth performance, non-specific immune responses, serum biochemical parameters, and intestinal histology, dietary animal and plant protein mixtures could replace up to 20% of fishmeal in the diet of sub-adult olive flounder.

이산화티타늄(TiO₂)은 일반적으로 선크림 제제에 사용되어 빛의 물리적 산란 작용에 의해 피부 표면을 보호하고 유해한 자외선(UV)의 침투를 방지한다. 그러나 불활성 미네랄 성분으로 인해 피부에 사용시 백탁현상을 유발할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 또한 백탁현상을 없애기 위해 TiO₂ 입자를 나노화 하면 가시광선 투과율을 증가시켜 백탁 현상을 감소시키지만 알레르기 염증과 같은 심각한 피부 트러블을 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 산소 결핍 구조 및 질소량 제어를 이용하여 TiO₂의 밴드갭을 제어하고, 결과적으로 피부 맞춤형 유색 TiO₂를 개발하였다. 이는 백탁 현상을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 활성산소를 유발하여 피부 노화를 촉진시키는 것으로 알려진 블루라이트를 효과적으로 차단할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 밴드갭 제어 TiO₂ 화합물은 저자극이고 스펙트럼이 넓으며 환경친화적이다. 또한 이는 자외선 차단제의 sun protection factor (SPF)를 획기적으로 향상시켜 블루라이트 차단 제품에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Background: Ginsenoside Rg₁ (Rg₁) is one of the main active components in Chinese medicines, Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng. Research has shown that Rg₁ has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, including anti-myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, anti-apoptosis, and promotion of myocardial angiogenesis, suggesting it a potential cardiovascular agent. However, the protective mechanism involved is still not fully understood. Methods: Based on network pharmacology, ligand-based protein docking, proteomics, Western blot, protein recombination and spectroscopic analysis (UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra) techniques, potential targets and pathways for Rg₁ against myocardial ischemia (MI) were screened and explored. Results: An important target set containing 19 proteins was constructed. Two target proteins with more favorable binding activity for Rg₁ against MI were further identified by molecular docking, including mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) and adenosine kinase (ADK). Meanwhile, Rg₁ intervention on H9c2 cells injured by H₂O₂ showed an inhibitory oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. The inhibition of Rg₁ on MAPK1 and OXPHOS pathway was confirmed by Western blot assay. By protein recombination and spectroscopic analysis, the binding reaction between ADK and Rg₁ was also evaluated. Conclusion: Rg₁ can effectively alleviate cardiomyocytes oxidative stress injury via targeting MAPK1 and ADK, and inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. The present study provides scientific basis for the clinical application of the natural active ingredient, Rg₁, and also gives rise to a methodological reference to the searching of action targets and pathways of other natural active ingredients.

Objective: The objective was to determine standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in cereal grains and various co-products fed to growing pigs. Methods: Ten feed ingredients tested were barley (9.3% CP), lupin kernels (31.1% CP), and wheat (11.3% CP) as cereal grains, and 2 sources of corn gluten feed produced in China (21.6% CP) and Korea (24.6% CP), corn gluten meal (65.3% CP), lupin hulls (11.6% CP), rice bran (14.5% CP), soybean meal (44.8% CP), and wheat bran (15.4% CP) as co-products. Ten experimental diets were formulated to contain each ingredient as a sole source of N and an N-free diet was used to correct basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. All diets also contained 0.5% Cr₂O₃ as an indigestible index. A replicated 11×6 incomplete Latin square design with 11 dietary treatments, 6 periods, and 22 animals was employed. Twenty-two barrows with an initial body weight of 64.6±4.9 kg were equipped with a T-cannula in the distal ileum. An experimental period consisted of a 4-d adaptation period and a 2-d collection period. Results: The SID of CP in the barley, lupin kernels, wheat, 2 sources of corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal, lupin hulls, rice bran, soybean meal, and wheat bran were 84.7%, 90.5%, 90.4%, 77.4%, 74.6%, 89.5%, 90.4%, 74.4%, 86.9%, and 63.4% (standard error of the mean [SEM] = 5.3, p = 0.006), respectively. The respective SID values of Lys were 75.5%, 88.4%, 83.9%, 74.7%, 62.4%, 80.3%, 83.9%, 78.5%, 88.0%, and 71.2% (SEM = 3.3, p<0.001), and the SID values of Met were 83.6%, 88.7%, 89.4%, 85.7%, 78.3%, 88.9%, 89.4%, 85.3%, 91.1%, and 77.0% (SEM = 2.4, p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion: The ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids varies among the feed ingredients fed to pigs.

전기차의 수요가 증가함에 따라 리튬이온전지의 시장 또한 급증하고 있다. 리튬이온전지의 배터리 수명은 제한되어 있으며, 수명을 다한 배터리의 교체 필연적이므로 폐리튬이온전지 배터리가 발생하게 된다. 이에 리튬이온전지 중 폐리튬인산철(LiFePO₄, 이하 LFP라고 함) 양극재 분말에서부터 리튬은 선택적으로 선침출하고 인산철(FePO₄) 분말을 회수하였다. 회수된 인산철 분말은 탄산나트륨(Na₂CO₃) 분말과 혼합하여 열처리하여 그 결정상을 확인하였다. 열처리 온도를 변수로 하였고, 이후 증류수를 이용하여 수침출 후 각 성분의 침출률 및 분말 특성을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 리튬은 약 100% 침출률을 보였고 800 ℃에서 열처리한 분말의 경우 인이 약 99% 침출되었으며, 침출 잔사는 Fe₂O₃ 단일 결정상으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐LFP 분말로부터 리튬, 인 그리고 철 성분을 개별적으로 분리 및 회수할 수 있었다.

A species of the fungal genus Cordyceps has been used as an ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we prepared cordycepin-enriched WIB-801CE, an ethanol extract from culture solution of Cordyceps militaris-hypha, and evaluated its antiplatelet effects on human platelet aggregation. WIB-801CE dose-dependently inhibited ADP-, collagen-, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. These antiplatelet effects by WIB-801CE were associated with the attenuation of thromboxane $A_2$ ($TXA_2$) production and serotonin release by ADP, collagen, and thrombin. The inhibition of $TXA_2$ production by WIB-801CE was due to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1, $TXA_2$ synthase, and cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ activity. Therefore, these data suggest that WIB-801CE may be a beneficial component against protection from platelet aggregation-mediated thrombotic disease.
