  • This research was performed to investigate the possibilities of industrial usage of camellia (Camellia japonica L.) by examining the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of methanol extract with different sections. Content of total phenolics, DPPH radical scavenging activities and antibacterial activity of young leaf, mature leaf, flower bud, flower, bark, and seed of camellia were compared in vitro experimental models. Total phenolics was contained the higher in young leaf (74.62 mg), flower bud (65.02 mg) and flower (62.42 mg) but less than 20.95 mg per 100 g of dry weight in other parts of Camellia japonica L. And effects of antioxidant measured by DPPH radical scavenger activity ($RC_{50}$, reduce concentration 50%), was shown higher $7.16{\sim}18.14\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in methanol extract of young leaf, flower bud and flower than $61.23\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of BHT as a chemical oxidant. Also, the antimicrobial activity of Camellia japonica L. extracts determined using a paper disc method against food-borne pathogen and food spoilage bacteria, the young leaves extracts showed the most active antimicrobial activity against 7 kinds of harmful microorganisms. Flower bud extracts showed the highest antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp. C1036. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of young leaf extract against B. subtillis,S. fradiae,S. aureus,E. coli,P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. C1036, and S. typhimurium were revealed 1 to 15 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. As a result, antimicrobial activity of camellia extracts was shown higher gram positive bacteria than gram negative bacteria.

  • 1997년 홍콩 가금시장에서의 H5N1 조류독감바이러스의 발병은 18명의 감염된 사람 중에서 6명의 사람의 생명을 앗아갔다. 이 사건은 조류독감바이러스가 매개체를 통하지 않고 닭에서 바로 사람에게 감염한 처음 있는 사건이다. 홍콩가금시장에서의 역학조사는 H5Nl과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스가 함께 공존한다는 것을 밝혔다. 가금에서는 H5N1과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스가 검출되었다. 우리는 H5N1 조류독감바이러스로부터 자을 방어하는데 H9N2 조류독감바이러스의 역할에 대해 연구했다. H5N1과 H9N2 바이러스의 혼합바이러스를 동시에 자에 접종하면 자은 생존하지 못했다. 그러나, H5N1 조류 독감바이러스감염 이전에 H9N2 조류독감바이러스를 감염한 닭들은 생존할 수 있었다 H9N2 조류 독감바이러스로 감염된 닭으로부터 얻어진 혈청은 H5N1 조류독감바이러스와 교차반응을 일으키지 않는다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염시킨 닭으로부터 얻어진 T임파구 또는 CD8 T임파구를 감염하지 않은 닭에 주입할 때 닭은 H5N1 조류독감바이러스로부터 생존할 수 있었다. 실험실외 킬러임파구실험은 H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염된 닭으로부터 얻어진 T임파구는 H5N1과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염된 목표세포를 동시에 감지했다. 게다가, 생체내 T임파구의 제거실험은 교차보호면역은 a/b TCR를 가진 CD8 T임파구가 중요한 역할을 하며, a/b TCR (Vbl)형의 T임파구가 목표세포를 감지한다는 것을 증명했다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스에 의한 방어면역은 시간이 지남에 따라 감소를 했고, 감염 100일까지 방어력을 나타냈다. 1997년 조류독감바이러스인 H5N1의 홍콩에서의 발병에 대한 풀리지 않은 것 중의 하나는 약 20%의 조류들이 매우 치사율이 높은 H5N1 독감바이러스를 가지고 있음에도 홍콩가금시장에서의 대부분의 닭들은 건강했다. 얻을 수 있는 정보에 따르면 대부분의 자들은 H5N1조류독감바이러스를 변으로 방출했고, 단지 두 곳의 가금시장에 있는 자들이 질병증상을 보였다. 홍콩가금시장에서 분리된 모든 H5N1 조류독감바이러스를 닭에 감염하면 100%의 치사율을 나타낸다. 바이러스 측면에서의 연구에 따르면, H9N2 조류독감바이러스는 홍콩가금시장에서 두 번째로 많이 분리되었다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스에 대한 연구에 따르면 세 가지 형이 홍콩가금시장에서 검출되었다. 1997년에 가장 많이 분리된 H9N2 조류독감바이러스는 PB1과 PB2가 A/Chicken/HongKong /156/97 (H5N1)과 유전적으로 유사한 A/HongKong/G9/97 (H9N2)형이다. A/Chicken/Hong Kong/156/97(H5N1)의 나머지 유전자는 A/Chicken/HongKong/739/94 (H9N2)와 A/chicken /Hong Kong/G23/97의 유전자와 비슷하다. 하나의 A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97은 Quail에서 분리되었고, 두 개의 A/Duck/Hong Kong/Y280/97 (H9N2)은 오리에서 분리되었다. A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97 (H9N2)의 6개의 내부유전자는 A/HongKon9/156/97 (H5N1)에 유사하나, A/Duck/ Hongkong/Y280/97 (H9N2)의 유전자는 A/HongKong/156/97 (H5N1)과 유사하지 않다. 킬러임파구는 바이러스로 감염된 목표세포를 MHC에 의존하여 파괴한다. 독감바이러스 특이 킬러임파구는 독감바이러스로 감염된 mice의 폐로부터 독감바이러스를 제거하는데 중요하다고 알려져 있다. 독감바이러스의 HA단백질은 특이 킬러임파구의 주요 목표항원 단백질이 아니다. 내부단백질인 nucleoprotein, polymerase (PB1 PB2, PA), Matrix protein, 그리고 비 구조단백질인 NS1에 대한 특이 킬러임파구의 반응이 사람과 mice에서 보고되었다. 독감바이러스에 대한 mice의 킬러임파구의 인식영역은 제한되어 있다고 알려져 있다. 많은 mice MHC 1은 독감바이러스 단백질의 킬러임파구의 epitope를 표현하지 못한다. 사람 기억킬러임파구는 다양한 종류의 독감바이러스의 단백질을 인식한다고 알려져 있다. 지금까지, 닭에서의 독감바이러스의 킬러임파구에 대한 연구는 되지 않았다.

  • As oral diseases are developed by mixed infections, not by any single element, an accurate analysis of the causative microorganisms related to dental caries and periodontal diseases is required. In this study, saliva was collected from selected adults to determine if the bacteria that are well known as the causative microorganisms of dental caries and periodontal diseases would be detected in their saliva. In addition, this study examined whether there would be any differences among adults according to age, smoking, drinking and presence or absence of diseases in the distribution of oral bacteria to determine the risk factors for oral bacteria. The study subjects were 120 adults ranging in age from 20 to 65 years. The experiment data was collected from March 15, to May 2014. The gDNA was collected from the saliva, and the distribution of bacteria for oral diseases was investigated by PCR. The findings of the study were as follows. S. mutans was detected from 72 adults, and P. intermedia was detected from 88 adults. Both bacteria were detected from 54 adults, and no oral bacteria was detected in 14 adults. An analysis of the risk factors of oral bacteria showed that smokers had a 2.8-fold higher risk of S. mutans than nonsmokers, and the former had a 3.5-fold higher risk of P. intermedia than the latter. Drinkers had a 3.3-fold higher risk of S. mutans than nondrinkers. Patients who suffered from systemic diseases had a 4.1-fold higher risk of P. intermedia than those with no diseases. Therefore, smoking, drinking and systemic diseases are factors that increase the likelihood of oral bacteria detection. More periodontal disease bacteria were detected from older adults, and more oral bacteria were found in adults who were in their 20s, as dental caries and periodontal diseases were more common in this age group. The adults in which oral bacteria were detected are more likely to have dental caries or periodontal diseases, and they should try to keep their mouth cavity clean and make regular visits to a dental clinic to prevent possible oral diseases.

  • In this study, formation background of biodiversity and its changes in the process of geologic history, and effects of climate change on biodiversity and human were discussed and the alternatives to reduce the effects of climate change were suggested. Biodiversity is 'the variety of life' and refers collectively to variation at all levels of biological organization. That is, biodiversity encompasses the genes, species and ecosystems and their interactions. It provides the basis for ecosystems and the services on which all people fundamentally depend. Nevertheless, today, biodiversity is increasingly threatened, usually as the result of human activity. Diverse organisms on earth, which are estimated as 10 to 30 million species, are the result of adaptation and evolution to various environments through long history of four billion years since the birth of life. Countlessly many organisms composing biodiversity have specific characteristics, respectively and are interrelated with each other through diverse relationship. Environment of the earth, on which we live, has also created for long years through extensive relationship and interaction of those organisms. We mankind also live through interrelationship with the other organisms as an organism. The man cannot lives without the other organisms around him. Even though so, human beings accelerate mean extinction rate about 1,000 times compared with that of the past for recent several years. We have to conserve biodiversity for plentiful life of our future generation and are responsible for sustainable use of biodiversity. Korea has achieved faster economic growth than any other countries in the world. On the other hand, Korea had hold originally rich biodiversity as it is not only a peninsula country stretched lengthily from north to south but also three sides are surrounded by sea. But they disappeared increasingly in the process of fast economic growth. Korean people have created specific Korean culture by coexistence with nature through a long history of agriculture, forestry, and fishery. But in recent years, the relationship between Korean and nature became far in the processes of introduction of western culture and development of science and technology and specific natural feature born from harmonious combination between nature and culture disappears more and more. Population of Korea is expected to be reduced as contrasted with world population growing continuously. At this time, we need to restore biodiversity damaged in the processes of rapid population growth and economic development in concert with recovery of natural ecosystem due to population decrease. There were grand extinction events of five times since the birth of life on the earth. Modern extinction is very rapid and human activity is major causal factor. In these respects, it is distinguished from the past one. Climate change is real. Biodiversity is very vulnerable to climate change. If organisms did not find a survival method such as 'adaptation through evolution', 'movement to the other place where they can exist', and so on in the changed environment, they would extinct. In this respect, if climate change is continued, biodiversity should be damaged greatly. Furthermore, climate change would also influence on human life and socio-economic environment through change of biodiversity. Therefore, we need to grasp the effects that climate change influences on biodiversity more actively and further to prepare the alternatives to reduce the damage. Change of phenology, change of distribution range including vegetation shift, disharmony of interaction among organisms, reduction of reproduction and growth rates due to odd food chain, degradation of coral reef, and so on are emerged as the effects of climate change on biodiversity. Expansion of infectious disease, reduction of food production, change of cultivation range of crops, change of fishing ground and time, and so on appear as the effects on human. To solve climate change problem, first of all, we need to mitigate climate change by reducing discharge of warming gases. But even though we now stop discharge of warming gases, climate change is expected to be continued for the time being. In this respect, preparing adaptive strategy of climate change can be more realistic. Continuous monitoring to observe the effects of climate change on biodiversity and establishment of monitoring system have to be preceded over all others. Insurance of diverse ecological spaces where biodiversity can establish, assisted migration, and establishment of horizontal network from south to north and vertical one from lowland to upland ecological networks could be recommended as the alternatives to aid adaptation of biodiversity to the changing climate.
