성장하는 증거는 소포체 (ER) 스트레스의 매개 세포 사멸이 알츠하이머병을 포함한 신경 퇴행성 질환의 병리학적 발달에 중요한 역할을 한다. 로디올라 사크라(ERS)의 에탄올 추출물은 ER 스트레스 유도제인 호모시스테인(Hcy)세포 사멸과 ER 스트레스의 신경 neuro -2A 세포를 보호할 수 있는지를 조사한다. 뉴런 세포에서 Hcy는 MTT 분석에 의해 확인된 바와 같이 세포 생존 가능성은 현저히 감소시켰고, Annexin V 양성 세포의 사멸을 유도했다. ERS로 전처리한 Hcy세포 생존력 및 세포 사멸 손실은 약화되었으며, Hcy는 C/EBP 상 동성 단백질과 78-kDa 포도당 조절 단백질의 발현 및 X-box 결합 단백질 -1 (xbp1) mRNA의 접합에 스트레스를 유도했다. ESR은 Hcy에 의해 유도된 xbp-1 mRNA 접합, GRP78 및 CHOP 세포를 감소시켜 Hcy-induced ER 스트레스 및 세포 사멸에 대한 보호를 나타내며, Western blotting 분석에 heme oxygenase-1의 발현 및 HO-1 효소 활성 억제는 hemin에 의한 세포 사멸을 감소시키는 등 신경 퇴행성 질환에 치료적 가치를 보여준다.

본 연구는 식품으로부터 S. aureus를 분리하는 데 사용되는 선택배지들의 성능을 평가하였다. 먼저 BPA와 MSEY agar의 민감도 비교를 통해 BPA를 선택하였고, 이 배지의 회수율을 $3M^{TM}$ $Petrifilm^{TM}$ Staph Express Count Plate(STX petrifilm)의 회수율과 비교하였다. 축산식품 중 돼지고기 주물럭과 육회용 꾸릿살, 수산식품 중 쥐포와 반건조 오징어, 전통식품 중 떡과 잡채를 선정하여 S. aureus를 접종한 후 BPA와 STX Petrifilm 배지를 사용하여 회수율 분석 실험을 실시하였다. 6가지 식품에 대해 인위적으로 S. aureus를 저농도에서부터 고농도까지 접종한 후 0시간과 24시간 후의 검출률을 측정하였다. 두 배지 간의 유의 수준을 분석한 결과 식품의 종류, 접종 농도에 관계없이 두 선택배지 간에 통계적 유의차는 없는 것으로 확인되었다(P>0.05). 따라서 STX Petrifilm은 BPA를 대체할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 배지의 준비 및 도말에 소요되는 분석시간을 절감하고 배양에도 최소한의 공간이 필요하게 되어 신속, 정확한 분석에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

비스테로이드소염제(NSAID)와 γ-secretase 저해제(DAPT) 또는 SIRT1저해제(MHY2245)의 병용 효과를 인간 대장암(KM12) 및 간암(SNU475) 세포를 대상으로 조사한 결과, celecoxib (CCB) 및 2, 5-dimethyl celecoxib (DMC)를 포함하는 NSAID는 DAPT 또는 MHY2245와의 병용에 의하여 COX-2활성과 상관없이 NSAID의 암세포 증식 억제능이 현저히 증강되었다. DAPT와 MHY2245는 p62단백질 감소와 동시에 Notch1, CD44, CD133, octamer- binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) 등의 다수의 종양 줄기세포 표지자 및 NICD1 발현 양을 감소시켰지만, activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) 발현은 증강시켰다. 또한 NSAID 단독처리 보다 NSAID/DAPT 및 NSAID/MHY2245 병용 처리에 의하여 오토파지가 촉진되므로서 종양 줄기세포 표지자의 발현 및 단백질양의 감소가 가속화되고, 이에 따라 PARP 활성화 및 세포사멸이 현저히 증강 되었다. 결론적으로 NSAID/DAPT 및 NSAID/MHY2245의 병용 투여는 종양 줄기세포 표지자를 발현하는 인간 암세포의 증식 억제 및 제거에 효과적인 처리방법으로, 임상에 적용시킬 수 있는 학문적 근거로서 제공 될 수 있다.

Recently, the study on the vibration analysis of machinery is greatly important and ESPI is widely used because of its many attractive features. Firstly, ESPI can be used to measure the vibration mode shape and the phase in real-time. Secondly, the conventional measuring methode, such as accelerometers, take much time to measure the whole field of object, but ESPI needs shorter time than other methods. Because ESPI is a field-inspection method. Thirdly, ESPI is a non-contact measuring system. ESPI does not have influence on the specimen. Beyond these features, there are several advantages in ESPI system. In this paper, the Stroboscopic ESPI system is described for measurement of a vibration mode shape. The Stroboscopic ESPI system had been used to visualize the vibration mode shape, in which EO(Electro-Optic)modulator was used to chop CW(Continuous Wavefront)laser. But it was not easy to control EO modulator and quantified the vibration amplitude and the phase of circular metal plate. At first, we found resonant frequency of the specimen by using time-averaged ESPI method. Nextly, the amplitudes of specimen were quantified by using Stroboscopic ESPI and we compare the results which were obtained in several chopping ratio.

The miniature pig is a very suitable donor species in xenotransplantation of human organs. Intestine ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis has been associated with the onset of diverse diseases. Thus, we examined the effect of intestine I/R on the expression of ER stress and apotptosis related molecules. In the present study, I/R induced phosphorylation of protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), IRE, and ATF-4. I/R also increased the expression of the proapoptotic transcription factor CAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP). In addition, I/R decreased the expression of Bcl-2, but increased the expression of Bax, cleaved PARP, and cleaved caspase-3. Moreover, I/R increased splicing form of XBP-1 mRNA and the expression of caspase-6 and caspase-3 mRNA. In conclusion, intestine I/R induced ER stress and apoptosis in miniature pig.

The results of this study intended to clarify the apoptotic effects of curcumin on Epstein-Barr virus transformed human B lymphoma (EBV-B) cells are summarized as follows: It was found that curcumin induced endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress as well as apoptotic cell death in EBV-B cells, although the magnitude of action was insignificant. When EBV-B cells activated by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) were treated with the same concentrations of curcumin, it was found that higher ER stress (GRP78, P-PERK, XBP-1, ATF6, and CHOP expressed) increased unfold protein response (UPR) and thus, apoptosis attributed to ER stress, compared to non-activated EBV-B cells In conclusion, it is expected that curcumin will play an important role for leukemia treatment.

Atherosclerosis preferentially involves in prone area of low and disturbed blood flow while steady and high levels of laminar blood flow are relatively protected from atherosclerosis. Disturbed flow induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR). ER stress is caused under stress that disturbs the processing and folding of proteins resulting in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER and activation of the UPR. Prolonged or severe UPR leads to activate apoptotic signaling. Recent studies have indicated that disturbed flow significantly up-regulated $p-ATF6{\alpha}$, $p-IRE1{\alpha}$, and its target spliced XBP-1. However, the role of laminar flow in ER stress-mediated endothelial apoptosis has not been reported yet. The present study thus investigated the role of laminar flow in ER stress-dependent endothelial cell death. The results demonstrated that laminar flow protects ER stress-induced cleavage forms of PARP-1 and caspase-3. Also, laminar flow inhibits ER stress-induced $p-eIF2{\alpha}$, ATF4, CHOP, spliced XBP-1, ATF6 and JNK pathway; these effects are abrogated by pharmacological inhibition of PI3K with wortmannin. Finally, nitric oxide affects thapsigargin-induced cell death in response to laminar flow but not UPR. Taken together, these findings indicate that laminar flow inhibits UPR and ER stress-induced endothelial cell death via PI3K/Akt pathway.

About 20% of non-Hodgkin' lymphoma occur in the extra-nodal region in the head and neck area and more than half of extra-nodal lymphoma in the head and neck area involves the Waldeyer' ring. Malignant lymphoma arising in the parotid glands are relatively rare, although 90% of all salivary gland lymphomas, appear in parotid gland and are classified as extranodal non Hodgkin' lymphoma. We experienced one rare case of non-Hodgkin' lymphoma in the right parotid gland, with a painless swelling of the cheek region as the chief complaint. We treated with CHOP(cyclophosphamide, $750mg/m^2$ i.v. day1 ; doxorubicin, $50mg/m^2$ i.v. day 1 ; vincristine, $1.4mg/m^2$ i.v. day 1;prednisone, $50mg/m^2$ orally days 1 to 5. repeat every 21 days) and Rituximab combination therapy. We aimed to report here one case of non-Hodgkin' lymphoma in the right parotid gland with review of literature.

The results of recent studies indicate that high levels of free fatty acids(FFAs) and adipokines may be the main causes of non-alcoholic liver disease; however, the molecular mechanism that links FFAs to lipotoxicity remains unclear. In the present study, we treated HepG2 cells with FFA(either palmitate or oleate) to investigate the mechanisms involved in lipotoxicity in the liver cells. We also treated cells with palmitate in the presence of a chemical chaperone, 4-phenylbutyric acid(PBA), to confirm the involvement of ER stress in lipotoxicity. Palmitate significantly induced cytotoxicity in dose- and time-dependent manners. Apoptosis was also significantly induced by palmitate as measured by caspase-3 activity and DAPI staining. Palmitate led to increased expressions of the spliced form of X-box-protein(Xbp)-1 mRNA and C/EBP homologous transcription factor(CHOP) protein, suggesting activation of the unfolded-protein response. PBA co-incubation significantly attenuated apoptosis induced by palmitate. The above data demonstrate that high levels of palmitate induce apoptosis via the mediation of ER stress in the liver cells and that chemical chaperones act to modulate ER stress and accompanying apoptosis.

Advances in silage technology, including precision chop forage harvesters, improved silos, polyethylene sheeting, shear cutting silo unloaders, and the introduction of total mixed rations, have made silage the principal method of forage preservation. A better understanding of the biochemistry and microbiology of the four phases of the ensiling process has also led to the development of numerous silage additives. Although acids and acid salts still are used to ensile low-DM forages in wet climates, bacterial inoculants have become the most widely used silage additives in the past decade. Commercial inoculants can assure a rapid and efficient fermentation phase; however, in the future, these products also must contribute to other areas of silage management, including the inhibition of enterobacteria, clostridia, and yeasts and molds. Nonprotein nitrogen additives have the problems of handling, application, and reduced preservation efficiency, which have limited their wide spread use. Aerobic deterioration in the feedout phase continues to be a serious problem, especially in high-DM silages. The introduction of competitive strains of propionic acid-producing bacteria, which could assure aerobically stable silages, would improve most commercial additives. New technologies are needed that would allow the farmer to assess the chemical and microbial status of the silage crop on a given day and then use the appropriate additive(s).
