The level at which analyses of DNA content might contribute more significantly to the genetic mechanisms of evolution lies in the events of speciation. The object of this study was to investigate the DNA content of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and determine the optimal tissue samples for measuring the DNA content of abalone by flowcytometry without fixation. The DNA content (pg/nucleus) of gill tissue (2.5±0.08), which was contaminated with protozoa, was significantly lower than that of muscle tissue (3.2±0.02), mantle tissue (3.2±0.02) (p<0.05), and a standard reference standard, while the DNA contents of muscle tissue and mantle tissue were higher than that of the standard reference. Considering the results of this study, DNA content analysis with flowcytometry is an acute and rapid method by which muscle tissue and mantle tissue are the most appropriate sample for measuring the DNA content of abalone without fixation.
Since cultural eutrophication has the detrimental effects on estuarine and coastal ecosystems, recognition of early stage of nutrient over-enrichment is critical for effective managements of the ecosystems. Since released nutrients into coastal ecosystems are diluted and dissipated through tidal action and rapid uptakes by marine plants, monitoring of in situ nutrient concentrations may not be useful for detecting early eutrophication on coastal and estuarine ecosystems. To develop an effective indicator of cultural eutrophication using marine plants, tissue N content and area normalized leaf mass of eelgrass, Zostera marina were examined in Kosung Bay and Koje Bay on the south coast of Korea from June 2001 to April 2003. Eelgrass tissue N content exhibited obvious seasonal variations. Leaf N content was highest during winter and early spring and lowest during summer. Eelgrass tissue N content was higher at Kosung Bay site, which has higher sediment organic content, than at Koje Bay site. Area normalized leaf mass showed reverse trend of leaf N content, and consequently, eelgrass leaf N content and leaf mass exhibited strong negative correlation at both study sites. The results of the present study suggested that the ratio of eelgrass leaf N content to area normalized leaf mass can be applied to assess environmental nitrogen conditions on the coastal and estuarine ecosystems.

In order to observe the localization of the specific antigenic protein in the tissue of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, immunogoldlabeling method was applied using IgG of the dog which were infected with Paragonimus westermani metacercaria and IgG of rabbits which were immunized with purified 23 kDa protein from metacercaria of the Paragenimus westermani. The metacercaria worm tissues obtained from Cambaroides similis were embedded in Lowicryl HM20 medium, treated with infected and immunized IgG and protein A gold complex (particle size; 12 nm) and observed by electron microscope. In the tissue antigen of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, the content of excretory bladder which was highly dense electron density was constituted in the excretory bladder of the parenchymal tissue. In the metacercaria tissues antigen reacted with IgG of infected dog. Labeled gold particles distributed on the interstitial matrix of parenchymal cells, fibrous granules of parenchymal tissue and the content of excretory bladder. High antigenicity was observed on content of excretory bladder. It was found to be specifically distributed at the tissue of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria. In the tissues antigen reacted with IgG of immunized rabbit. Labeled gold particles randomly distributed on the interstitial matrix and fibrous granules of parenchymal tissue but in the content of excretory bladder of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, gold particles were richly labeled. Therefore, the 23 kDa protein contained with Paragonimus westermani metacercaria was found protein which was specifically constituted at the content of excretory bladder of Paragonimum westermani metacercaria. The 23 kDa protein was commonly contained from of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria to adult and showed strong antigenicity against the immunized and infected IgG.
To observe the effect of the different level of PUFA and marginal tocopherol supplement on HDL-chol, tissue tocopherol content and fatty acid composition, the rats were supplied either safflower oil or conconut oil with or without tocopherol supplement to the experimental diet. Plasma tocopherol level was not greatly influenced by the different dietary fat and similar effect was observed in the liver but not in the adipose tissue. HDL-chol level was reduced in the high PUFA diet regardless of tocopherol content. No effect by tocopherol supplement was observed in the fatty acid composition of liver and adipose tissue lipid in both dietary PUFA levels . There was also no increase in the content of tissue polyenoid acid by tocopherol in the high PUFA diet . Fatty acid composition of tissue lipid was rather more influenced by dietary fat. Lauric and myristic acid contents were higher in the low PUFA diet and linoleic acd and total polynoic acid content were higher in the high PUFA diet. With tocopherol supplement tocopherol /PUFA ratio of tissue was increased but the ratio of high PUFA diet was significantly lower than that of low PUFA diet. Marginal tocopherol supplement could not reduce the peroxidizability index of high PUFA diet.
Changes in urinary $Na^+$ and $K^+$ excretions, renal cortical microsomal $Na^+$ -K-ATPase activity, cortical tissue electrolyte content and plasma aldosterone level were studied in rats treated with CdCl2 (2 mg Cd/kg/day, s.c. injection) for 7-14 days. After 7 days of cadmium exposure, urinary excretion of $Na^+$ was markedly reduced. This change was accompanied by an increase in $Na^+$-$K^+$-ATPase activity, a fall in tissue $Na^+$ content, a rise in tissue $K^+$ content and an elevation of plasma aldosterone level.
This study aimed to evaluate the anti-stress effect of Yangsimtang and Yangsimtang+Siyup on the rats in immobilization stress.The experimental animals were immobilized in the stress box(5${\times}$5${\times}$20cm) for 12 hours in a day suring 3 days, and administered 1g/100g of Yangsimtang and Yangsimtang+Siyup and Siyup extract for 12 days before stress. The norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine and serotonin contents were measured by HPLC method in various part of rat brain.The following results were observed.1. In frontal cortex the norepinephrine content of control group was 561.${\pm}$24.46 ng/g brain tissue, that of saple 1 group was 430.8$\pm$41.2 ng/g brain tissue, and that of sample 2 group was 417.2$\pm$38.5 ng/g brain tissue. The differences was statistically significant.2. In corpus striatum, the norepinephrine content of control group was 561.3$\pm$27.3 ng/g brain tissue, and that of sample 1 group was 422.1$\pm$21.2 ng/g brain tissue, the dopamine content of control group was 1205.1$\pm$75.9 ng/g brain tissue, that of sample 2 group was 685.6$\pm$41.5 ng/g brain tissue. The differences was statistically significant.3. In hypothalamus, the norepinephrine content of control group was 1165.1$\pm$162.6 ng/g brain tissue, that of sample 2 group was 947.2$\pm$35.7 ng/g brain tissue. The differences was statistically significant.4. In hippocampus, the norepinephrine content of control group was 931.6$\pm$82.2 ng/g brain tissue, that of sample 1 group was 652.1$\pm$47.5 ng/g brain tissue, and that of sample 2 group was 627.4$\pm$31.2 ng/g brain tissue, the dopamine contrnt of control group was 315.4$\pm$28.4 ng/g brain tissue, that of sample 2 group was 208.5$\pm$23.7 ng/g brain tissue. The differences were statistically significant.Base on the above results, it may be concluded that Yangsimtang and Yangsimtang+Siyup are effective to reduce stress.
Seasonal variation in the contents of sugars (fructose, glucose, and sucrose) in the floret, leaf, and stem of broccoli were studied in ten commercial broccoli cultivars. Plants were grown in the spring and fall seasons in 2011. In both seasons, glucose was the major constituent, comprising about 50% of the total sugar content in the floret and leaf tissue of most cultivars, whereas the broccoli stem showed an unusual pattern of accumulation. Sucrose exhibited greater cultivar dependency as well as seasonal variation compared to fructose and glucose in floret and leaf tissues. The floret tissue had a higher total content of sugar in the spring compared to the fall due to an increase in glucose and fructose. However, most of the leaf and stem tissues of broccoli had a higher total sugar content in the fall compared to the spring. Furthermore, stem and leaf tissues possessed a relatively higher total sugar content compared to floret tissue in both seasons. 'Grandeur' broccoli contained a significantly greater amount of total sugar in both floret and leaf tissues in both seasons, whereas 'YuDoRi No.1' broccoli exhibited the highest total content of sugar in stem tissue. At overall, the results showed significant influences of genotype, plant part and growing season on sugar content in broccoli.
Dantrolene sodium(DS) is a long acting skeletal muscle relaxant which has been successfully used to control muscle spasticity in patients with various neurological disorders. However, its use is associated with hepatotoxicity. Tissue sulfhydryl group has many important roles for cellular integration and glutathione serves as a substrate for the detoxification metabolism. The purpose of this study were to investigate the effect of DS on tissue sulfhydrl group and glutathione content. Foully albino rats were divided into two groups ; saline treated (control) and DS treated groups. DS dissolved in saline was administered orally. All rats were sacrificed after 7. 14. 21 and 28 days of DS ana saline treatment by dacapitation ana liver was removed for the enzyme preparation. Total and nonprotein sulfhydryl were measured by the method of Sedlak and Lindsay (1968). Total glutathione content was assayed according to the method described by Tietze (1969) and glutathione reductase was assayed according to the method of Racker (1955), The results obtained are summarized as follows : DS administration significantly depressed the total, protein and nonprotein sulfhydryl content in liver. There were significant reduction of both total glutathione content and glutathione reductase activity in liver. On the basis of the above results it may be speculated that the toxicity of DS are well correlated with tissue sulfhydryl content and glutathione reductase activity.
The effect of cryopreservation on extracellular matrix was studied with the ultimate objective of permiting a prediction of the tendency of aorta conduit tissue to calcify following transplantation. Cryopreserved and fresh porcine aorta conduit tissues were extracted using guanidine-hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) followed by sequential digestion of the tissues with collagenase, elastase, and papain. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the proteoglycans (PGs) were isolated and quantitated. Gdn-HCl extracted about 61% and 62% of the total GAG (proteoqlycan) material from cryopreserved and fresh tissues, respectively. Collagenasesolubilized proteoglycans from Gdn-HCl extracted tissue represented 20% and 13%, respectively, of the total GAGs present in cryopreserved and fresh tissues. Subsequent elastase hydrolysis of collagenase-digested tissue released about 11% of total GAGs from cryopreserved tissue and 16% from fresh tissue. The remaining 8%, from cryopreserved tissue, and 9%, from fresh tissue, of the total GAGs were obtained after using a papain hydrolysis. There was essentially no difference between fresh and cryopreserved tissues in the relative distribution of proteoglycans in the extracts and digestions except in the initial digestion step where more proteoglycans were obtained from collagenase solubilization of cryopreserved tissue than fresh tissue (p<0.05). The histologic status of the fresh and cryopreserved porcine aortic conduit did not differ markedly. The normal tissue architecture was not affected markedly by the cryopreservation procedure as neither alteration of elastic structure, fibrous proteins nor alteration of nuclear distribution or smooth muscle cell morphology was detected. Quantitative tissue mineral studies revealed that the mean calcium content of the cryopreserved aorta conduit tissue $(165{\pm}3\;{\mu}g/g\;wet\;tissue)$ was higher than that of the fresh tissue $(105{\pm}4\;{\mu}g/g\;wet\;tissue)$$(p<0.05)$. The mean phosphorus content was $703{\pm}35\;{\mu}g$ wet tissue from cryopreserved tissue and $720{\pm}26\;{\mu}g$ wet tissue from fresh tissue. The study indicates that there is no significant alteration in the distribution of PGs in properly cryopreserved tissue, but the total calcium level appears to be increased in tissue cryopreserved by the cryopreservation process used in this study.
Enrichment in nutrients coming from urban sewage outfalls can lead to eutrophication in coastal areas, which can also change the species composition and community structure of macro algal communities. We investigated the structure of the macro algal community within three rocky shores in order to assess any possible differences in their characteristics. Site 1 was located near Tongyeong city's sewage outfall, Site 2 was located near a public beach area, and Site 3 faced open channel of the Ocean. All three sites were located within the same stretch of the coast, where Site 2 was located between sites 1 and 3. We measured the nutrient concentration in water and the tissue nitrogen content in macro algae samples. Nutrients in the water column surrounding site 1 were high in ammonium ($30.2\pm1.8{\mu}M$), nitrate ($26.2{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$), and phosphate ($2.7{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$) content, and were characterized by low numbers of macroalgal species and species and a low species diversity index. In contrast, site 3 exhibited relatively low nutrient concentration levels and a high number of macroalgal species and a high species diversity index. Comparative analysis showed that the tissue nitrogen content of macroalgae were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the nutrient concentration in the water column. The tissue nitrogen content of green algae within site 1 was higher than the others sites. However, the tissue nitrogen content of brown algae was similar at all three sites. Thus, the tissue nitrogen content of macro algae and the macro algal community structure of intertidal rocky shores were dependent on location and the performance of macroalgal communities was dependent on water quality.
