Objectives: This study was aimed to find the effect of Samiunkyungtang on inflammation and microflora in an ulcerative colitis animal model. Methods: We established four groups of normal, control, test 1, and test 2 and assigned 6 rats toeach group. The normal group was not treated by any process and fed by normal saline. The control & test groups were provided with 4% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment for 7 days. Samiunkyungtang extract was orally administered to test groups (test 1=25mg/kg, test 2 100mg/kg) 3 days after DSS treatment for 10 days. After DSS treatment finished, we sacrificed the mice and measured colon length and enzyme activities such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), alkine phosphatase (ALP), ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, chondroitinase, and tryptophanase. Results: The colon lengths of test 1 and 2 groups were longer than the control group (p<0.05). Histologically, the crypts and superficial epitheliums of test 1 and 2 groups were regenerated. Goblet cells from all test groups were retrieved. The inflammatory biochemical marker, MPO and ALP activities in all test groups were highly reduced (p<0.01) compared to the control group. The activities of fecal bacterial enzymes in test groups such as ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, chondroitinase, and tryptophanase were reduced compared to the control group (p<0.01). Conclusions: As a result of this experiment, Samiunkyungtang is considered to have an inhibitory effect on inflammation and fecal enzyme activity in DSS-induced colitis animal model. Our results indicate that Samiunkyungtang may possess therapeutic effect on the development of DSS-induced colitis.

We investigated the reproductive cycle with ovarian development of Chlamys farreri by histological observations, and seasonal changes in biochemical components of the adductor muscle, digestive diverticula and ovary were studied by biochemical analysis. The reproductive cycle of this species can be classified into five successive stages: early active stage (January to March), late active stage (March to April), ripe stage (April to August), partially spawned stage (June to August) and spent/inactive stage (August to January). According to ANOVA test, there were significant differences (p < 0.05) in total protein, total lipid and glycogen contents among months for all of the adductor muscle, digestive diverticula and ovary. Total protein contents in ovary and digestive diverticula showed significant changes (ANOVA, p < 0.05) during the study period, while that in the adductor muscle did not. Total protein content was highest in the adductor muscle, followed by ovary, and lowest in digestive diverticula. There was no correlation in total protein content between the adductor muscle and digestive diverticula (p = 0.220). But strong positive correlation was found between adductor muscle and ovary (r = 0.450, p = 0.013). ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in total lipid and glycogen contents among months for all of the adductor muscle, ovary, and digestive diverticula (p < 0.05). The monthly changes in total lipid content were highly variable in ovary and digestive gland. High contents of total lipid were found during April and May-June in ovary, while March and June-July in digestive diverticula. There was a strong negative correlation in total lipid content between ovary and digestive diverticula (r = -0.397, p = 0.030). Unlike total protein or total lipid, glycogen content in the adductor muscle was most dynamic. It showed more than 36-fold changes in the adductor muscle (at most 3-fold change in ovary) during the study period. Glycogen content was higher during May-July in the adductor muscle, while it was higher in March and August in digestive diverticula. There was a strong negative correlation in glycogen content between the adductor muscle and digestive diverticula (r = -0.584, p = 0.001).

양식 산업의 양적 발달에 따라, 이로 인한 배출수 문제는 환경적 측면에서 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 육상 수조식 넙치 양식장에서 배출되는 배출물을 사료 첨가제로 사용하는 것은 환경오염 감소와 자원의 재활용이라는 측면에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 따라서, 본 연구는 발효물 첨가에 따른 넙치, Paralichthys olivaceus의 간 및 신장의 생화학적 스트레스 반응을 조사하였다. 배출물 발효 조건 및 첨가 농도에 따른 간 중량지수, 글루타치온 함량 및 글루타치온 의존 효소활성 등을 조사한 결과 50% 발효구와 50% 농축구에서 대조구와 비교하여 각각 glutathione peroxidase 효소활성과 간 중량지수의 유의적 증가가 관찰되었지만, 이를 제외한 실험군 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과로부터 생화학적 측면에서 발효물 첨가가 간 및 신장 기능과 안전성에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 평가되며, 양식어의 사료 첨가제로서의 환경적 측면에서 고려할 필요성이 대두된다.

This study compared the solubility, water absorption, dimensional stability, release of various ions (hydroxyl, calcium, sulfur, strontium, and silicon), and cytotoxicity of light-cured resin-modified pulp-capping materials. Resin-modified calcium hydroxide (Ultra-blend^TM plus, UBP), light-cured resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal LC^TM, TLC), and dual-cure resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal PT^TM, TPT) were used. Each material was polymerized; solubility, 24-hour water absorption, and 30- day dimensional stability experiments were conducted to test its physical properties. Solubility was assessed according to the ISO 6876 standard, and 24 hours of water absorption, 30 days of dimensional stability were assessed by referring to the previous protocol respectively. Eluates at 3 and 24 hours and on 7, 14, and 28 days were analyzed according to the ISO 10993-12 standard. And the pH, Ion-releasing ability, cell proliferation rate, and cell viability were assessed using the eluates to evaluate biochemical characteristics. pH was measured with a pH meter and Ion-releasing ability was assessed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Cell proliferation rate and cell viability were assessed using human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). The former was assessed by an absorbance assay using the CCK-8 solution, and the latter was assessed by Live and Dead staining. TPT exhibited lower solubility and water absorption than TLC. UBP and TPT demonstrated higher stability than TLC. The release of sulfur, strontium, calcium, and hydroxyl ions was higher for TLC and TPT than for UBP. The 28-day release of hydroxyl and silicon ions was similar for TLC and TPT. TLC alone exhibited a lower cell proliferation rate compared to the control group at a dilution ratio of 1 : 2 in cell proliferation and dead cells from Live and Dead assay evaluation. Thus, when using light-cure resin-modified pulp-capping materials, calcium silicate-based materials can be considered alternatives to calcium hydroxide-based materials. Moreover, when comparing physical and biochemical properties, TPT could be prioritized over TLC as the first choice.

국내외에서 분양 받고 국내식육에서 분리된 총 100균주의 Y. enterocolitica에 대한 병원성여부를 HEp-2세포 침투성 시험법을 기준으로 하고 여러 가지 병원성 확인 방법을 비교하였다. 혈청형만으로 병원성을 판단하기에는 충분하지 않았고 이외의 방법 즉, esculin과 salicin시험, pyrazinamidase 시험, biotype 등의 생화학적 특성에 바탕을 둔 실험 단독으로 병원성을 판단하기에는 완전하지 않았다. D-xylose 발효실험, CRMOX agar 시험과 자동응고반응(Autoagglutination)들은 병원성확인에 보조적인 역할만을 할 수 있었다. HEp-2 세포 침투성 시험법은 시간과 노력이 많이 소요되므로 이 방법을 대치할 수 있는 간단하고 신속, 정확하게 Y. enterocolitica 병원성을 확인할 수 있는 방법은 esculin시험에서 음성반응을 보이는 것만 PCR시험을 행하여 판별하는 것이라고 사려된다.

Background: There is abundance of studies on the decrease in body fat through limited calorie intake or exercise; however, studies focusing simultaneously on functional foods and exercise are rare. This study was aimed to identify the effects of combination of a functional beverage and exercise on body composition and biochemical metabolic profiles. Method: Eighty-one healthy volunteers (69 females aged 19 to 50 years and 12 males aged 19 to 55 years), who maintained their body weight stable with 23 or higher in BMI (kg/$m^2$) and 25% or higher body fat for the last three months, were recruited in the study through written advertisement. All the subjects gave their informed consent, and the study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The study design was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group design. All participants were given 12-week programed-exercise, which was performed 3 times a week. One bottle (100 ml) of test (Garcinia cambogia 300 mg, L-carnitine 20 mg, Soy peptide 1,000 mg) or placebo solution was given daily 30 min before each session of programed-exercise. BMI (body mass index), %fat, local fat amount (visceral and mid-thigh), waist circumference, skin fold thickness and some biochemical metabolic parameters like glucose, insulin and free fatty acids, etc in the blood were measured and compared before and after 12-week intervention within groups as well as between groups according to the protocol Results: Twenty six volunteers were dropped out and fifty five volunteers completed the study. At the end of 4, 8, and 12 weeks, approximately 1.98%, 3.00% and 3.50% losses of initial body weight were observed, respectively, in the test group (P<0.01), and 0.29, % ,0.74%, 1.60%, respectively, in the placebo group (P>0.05). BMI changed by 2.40%, 3.41% and 4.46%, respectively, in the test group, and 0.38%, 0.95% and 1.75%, respectively, in the placebo group, at each period of time. The reductions of body weight and BMI were significantly higher in the test group than in the placebo group at each period of time (P<0.05). Conclusions: It is thought that the combination of functional beverage, which contains mostly garcinia cambogia, L-carnitine, and soy peptide, and exercise have synergy effects on reducing body fat.

본 연구는 부산시 남부하수처리장의 탈수슬러지를 이용하여 전처리에 따른 분해 및 혐기성 상태에서의 최종 메탄 및 이산화탄소 발생량을 평가하기 위해 Biochemical Methane Potential(BMP) 실험을 실시하였다. 초기 1 % TS 농도의 탈수슬러지를 각각 30분 동안 5M NaOH를 이용하여 알칼리 전처리를 실시하였고 초음파 전처리는 30분 동안 조사밀도를 1.5 W/mL로 조절하여 실시하였으며 알칼리와 초음파 전처리를 병합한 동시 전처리를 시행하였다. 그에 따라 SCOD 값이 초기 33.1 mg/L에서 최대 494 mg/L로 증가하였다. 또한 BMP 실험을 실시한 결과 31.2~84.2 mL $CH_4/g$ VS, 9.2~13.5 mL $CO_2/g$ VS로 나타났다. 영양배지와 상등액 슬러지를 주입여부에 따른 BMP 실험을 실시한 결과 각각 73.1, 73.8 mL $CH_4/g$ VS, 11.2, 13.6 mL $CO_2/g$ VS으로 나타났으며 모델값과는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. BMP 실험을 종료 후 VS를 분석한 결과 초기 62 %에서 33.8~45.4 %로 감소하였다. 알칼리, 초음파 전처리보다는 동시 전처리가 메탄발생량과 SCOD 값을 증가시켰으며 VS 감소율이 증가하여 혐기성 소화율이 향상되었다.

Objectives : To provide information on the safety of ACM, we carried out a single oral dose-increasing toxicity and 4-weeks repeated oral dose determining test of ACM in beagle dogs. Methods : In a single oral dose-increasing toxicity test, beagles were treated with ACM orally increasing dose level (1,000, 2,000, 5,000 mg/㎏) at interval of 3 days. After administration, signs of toxicity were observed for two weeks. In 4-weeks repeated oral dose determinating test, beagles were treated with ACM with oral dose 500, 1,000, 2,000 mg/kg for 4 weeks. Mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes, food consumption, urinalysis, hematological and biochemical parameters, organ weights, necropsy findings, and histological findings were monitored during the study period. Results : In a single oral dose-increasing toxicity test, we found no mortality, abnormalities in clinical signs, body weight, and necropsy findings during the study period. In 4-weeks repeated oral dose determinating test, we found no mortality, abnormalities in clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, urinalysis, hematological and biological parameters, gross findings, organ weights, necropsy findings, and histopathological findings in any of the beagles tested. Conclusions : The results obtained in these studies suggest that maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ACM in male and female beagle dogs was supposed to be over 5,000 mg/kg. For the future studies of toxicity, it is advisable that high dose and low dose are set at 2000 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, respectively.
