  • The inhibitory effect of histone acetyltransferase from methanol extract of Terminalia chebula Retz. fruit (TCME) was investigated in prostate cancer cell. TCME significantly inhibited histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity by over 50% at 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration. TCME treatment repressed androgen receptor (AR) mediated transcription, mRNA level of AR target genes, prostate specific antigen (PSA) and NKX-3.1, as well as AR acetylation. Finally, the prostate cancer cell viability was dramatically reduced by TCME treatment at 0~100 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration. These results indicated that TCME, as a potent HAT inhibitor, could suppress prostate cancer cell growth by AR mediated transcription regulation.

  • The spermatozoa of Platichthys stellatus is relatively simple cells composed of a spherical head, a short midpiece, and a tail, as in most Pleuronectiformes. The ultrastructure is characterized by the following features: a round nucleus with a deep nuclear fossa, the centriolar complex located at a right angle to each other, a short midpiece, a tail with paired lateral ribbon and no acrosome. However there are some minor morphological differences, including the appearance and number of the mitochondria, the shape and size of the nuclear fossa and the structure of the basal body. Especially the basal body structure consisting of a basal foot, a rootlet and nine alar sheets structures varies considerably in different species. It can be used as indicator of relationships in Pleuronectiformes because minute morphological differences might have functional and evolutionary significance. In conclusion, the spermatozoa of P. stellatus show a certain structural homogeneity and provide support for the concept that ultrastructural features of spermatozoa can be useful in taxonomic studies of Pleuronectiformes.

  • Paraquat (1,1-dimethyl 4,4' -dipyridium dichloride; PQ) is a kind of herbicide. Terminalia chebulae (TC) has been used as a medicine in China and in Korea for treating illnesses such as diarrhea, collapsed anus, spasmodic, diphtheria, asthma etc.. This study was to examin new physiological activities of methanol extract of TC (TCM) on the toxicity of PQ. It was observed biochemical effects on the toxicity of PQ in kidney and lung tissues after treatment orally administered 100, 200, 300 mg/kg of TCM daily for two weeks. In the experiment related to the toxicity of PQ, we got following results: renal and pulmonary lipid peroxide contents, activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidase were significantly increased in control group as compared with normal group, in the treatment of TCM the values were decreased as compared with control group. Activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase which are free radical scavenging enzymes were also increased in control group as compared with normal goup, but were decreased in TCM group as compared with control group. Collagen content and glucose-6-phosphatase activity in lung tissue were increased in control group as compared with normal, but was decreased in TCM group as compared with control group. From these results, we concluded that TCM can playa role as an effective agent to decrease toxicity of PQ.

  • Helicobacter pylori infects the mucosa, induces chronic inflammation and ulcers, and is known as a biological carcinogen. Antibiotics are used as therapeutic agents for H. pylori, but there are problems such as resistance. Thus, research is being conducted on the use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as an alternative therapeutic agent. There have been many studies on LAB related to kimchi. However, studies related to Gajami Sikhae, a traditional fermented seafood in Korea, are insufficient. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of LAB isolated from Gajami Sikhae on H. pylori and its use as a probiotic. Forty species of LAB isolated from Gajami Sikhae were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Weisella paramesenteroides, and 10 strains of 40 species were selected through liquid inhibition assay of H. pylori. The selected LAB supernatant at 1%, 5%, and 10% had a growth inhibitory effect on H. pylori 52, 51, e-53, and 309. The adjusted pH of 7.0 was used for the LAB culture supernatant, in reference to a study that the growth of H. pylori is affected by acid. All 10 strains of LAB at 5% and 10% concentration suppressed the growth of H. pylori 52, and 7 strains of LAB at 10% concentration suppressed the growth of H. pylori e-53. LAB also had the effect of suppressing the activity of urease. Finally, LAB isolated from Gajami Sikhae is expected to be useful for eradicating and preventing H. pylori.

  • The war that broke out on October 7, 2023 is prolonging and expanding into the Middle East. Although the damage from war is increasing, humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip has been halted due to UNRWA's deviant actions. Powerful countries have suspended support, and the UN is appealing for support for the Gaza Strip. All damage is borne by civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially women, children, and the elderly. Israel has selected an evacuation zone and evacuation route in the Gaza Strip and established a humanitarian aid route in the border area. However, Hamas's resistance in underground tunnels, using civilian-dense areas and civilian facilities such as hospitals and schools as shields, further amplified civilian casualties. This Israel-Hamas war requires the international community to approach it from a human security perspective. We must strengthen the UN's functions and roles to ensure that humanitarian supplies reach the field and humanitarian intervention forces ensure human dignity and basic rights. We must restore the credibility of the UN's role through the Israel-Hamas war. In addition, Korea should urge the introduction of humanitarian aid and goods, and provide humanitarian goods such as daily necessities and medicine. We must also prepare for deployment as a member of the UN peacekeeping force in the future. These activities will help Korea develop into a model country that fulfills its role as a 'global pivotal nation' and will have a virtuous cycle of international support in the event of a future crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
