Purpose: Curcuma aromatica Salisb., commonly known as turmeric, has long been used as a powerful health-promoting anti-inflammatory or antioxidant that supports cellular health of the human body. The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the samples with or without fermentation. Methods: Antioxidant activities of the samples were compared using total phenol, flavonoid contents, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical scavenging activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Antimicrobial activities were also examined using the paper disc method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Results: Organic acid content of the C. aromatica Salisb. fermented with Aspergillus oryzae (FCAS) showed a significantly higher value of 0.41% than that of the typical sample without fermentation (CAS) which showed a value of 0.27% (p<0.001). Total phenol and flavonoid contents of the CAS and FCAS did not show significant differences. However, ABTS cation radical scavenging activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity were significantly increased in the samples with fermentation (p<0.001, p<0.01), respectively. The samples of the disc showed inhibited growth of gram positive Bacillus cereus (FCAS 3.70 cm and CAS 2.73 cm) and Staphylococcus aureus (FCAS 2.70 cm and CAS 1.97 cm). MIC of the FCAS (0.25-0.50, 0.5-1.00 mg/mL) was higher than that of the CAS (1.00-2.00, 2.00-3.00 mg/mL), respectively. Conclusion: C. aromatica Salisb. with fermentation showed higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in this study. Thus we conclude that fermentation can be a helpful process for more effective application of C. aromatica Salisb. with fermentation in the health-promoting food industry.

Clavulanic acid (CA) is an inhibitor of ${\beta}$-lactamase that is produced from Streptomyces clavuligerus NRRL3585 and is used in combination with other antibiotics in clinical treatments. In order to increase the production of CA, the replicative and integrative expressions of ccaR (encoding for a specific regulator of the CA biosynthetic operon) and cas2 (encoding for the rate-limiting enzyme in the CA biosynthetic pathway) were applied. Six recombinant plasmids were designed for this study. The pIBRHL1, pIBRHL3, and pIBRHL13 were constructed for overexpression, whereas pNQ3, pNQ2, and pNQ1 were constructed for chromosomal integration with ccaR, cas2, and ccaR-cas2, respectively. All of these plasmids were transformed into S. clavuligerus NRRL3585. CA production in transformants resulted in a significantly enhanced amount greater than that of the wild type, a 2.25-fold increase with pIBRHLl, a 9.28-fold increase with pNQ3, a 5.06-fold increase with pIBRHL3, a 2.93-fold increase with pNQ2 integration, a 5.79-fold increase with pIBRHLl3, and a 23.8-fold increase with pNQ1. The integrative pNQl strain has been successfully applied to enhance production.

Uterine leiomyomas (UL) are extremely common neoplasms in women of reproductive age, and are associated with a variety of characteristic choromosomal aberrations (CAs). The p53 gene has been reported to play a crucial role in suppressing the growth of a variety of cancer cells. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of CAs and the p53 gene on ULs. We performed cytogenetic analysis by G-banding in 10 cases undergoing myomectomy or hysterectomy. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a p53 gene probe was also used on interphase nuclei to screen for deletions. In patients, CAs were found in 23.4% of 500 cells analysed, significantly more frequent than in the control group (p<0.001). In the patients, 76% of the abnormalities were structural aberrations (deletions, translocations and breaks), and only 24% were numerical. Deletions were the most common structural aberration observed in CAs. Among these CAs, specific changes in five loci 1q11, 1q42, 2p23, 5q31 and Xp22 have been found in our patients and these changes were not reported previously in UL. The chromosome breaks were more frequent in cases, from high to low, 1, 2, 6, 9, 3, 5, 10 and 12. Chromosome 22, X, 3, 17 and 18 aneuploidy was observed to be the most frequent among all numerical aberrations. We observed a low frequency of p53 losses (2-11%) in our cases. The increased incidence of autosomal deletions, translocations, chromatid breaks and aneuploidy, could contribute to the progression of the disease along with other chromosomal alterations.

본 연구에서는 CRISPR/CAS9을 이용하여 S. cerevisiae의 ACC1, ELO1, OLE1 유전자의 프로모터를 TEF1으로 교체하여 그 발현량을 증가시키고 그에 따른 에탄올에 대한 저항성과 생산량 변화를 확인하였다. 18% 에탄올이 함유된 YPD 배지에서 control을 제외하고 유전자 과발현을 일으킨 mutant 균주 모두가 24시간까지 viable하게 생존하는 것을 확인하였다. 에탄올 발효에서는 유전자 과발현 균주 모두가 에탄올 수율에서 ACC1 과발현 균주가 428.18 ± 0.29 mg/g, ELO1 과발현 균주는 416.15 ± 4.3 mg/g, OLE1 과발현 균주는 430.55 ± 6.00 mg/g에 도달하였으며, 이는 control의 수율인 400.26 ± 0.42 mg/g 보다 높은 수준에 도달하였다. 이 결과는 높은 농도의 에탄올에서 탄소 사슬이 긴 불포화지방산의 비율이 증가한다는 연구결과가 역 또한 성립한다는 것을 증명하였다. ELO1의 과발현은 elongation of fatty acid protein의 생산 증가를 불러 일으킨다. 또한 OLE1도 acylCoA desaturase 효소의 활성을 증대시킨다. TEF1이라는 strong promoter를 이용한 이번 실험에서 ELO1 과발현 균주가 OLE1 과발현 균주보다 S. cerevisiae의 에탄올 저해 감소와 발효에 긍정적인 영향을 미침을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Silver Spike Point (SSP) on functional constipation. The subjects were 14 female students who attended a university located in Gyeonggi province and consent to participate in this study. The inclusion criteria were the fulfillment of two or more diagnostic criteria of Rome III or scoring four or more points in Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS). The CAS score was significantly decreased in the experimental group (from $14.29{\pm}1.38$ to $6.86{\pm}2.91$) (p<.05), however, there was no significant change in the control group (from $14.29{\pm}1.49$ to $14.14{\pm}1.21$). The present study suggests that SSP intervention is effective in mitigating constipation.

Rice is an important staple in the world. And drought is one of the important constraints that negatively affect yield loss and grain quality of rice. CRISPR/Cas9 is a new breeding strategy that can improve the characteristics of rice quickly and accurately. CRISPR/Cas9 is a novel approach that can reliably harvest rice yields in response to a rapidly changing climate. In addition, there is no externally inserted DNA left in genome-editing rice, and it is receiving attention as being able to take responsibility for future food because its characteristics are continuously improved. In the future, high levels of drought resistant in water-constrained environments will be required, which will reduce yield loss. OsSAP was genome-editing with CRISPR/Cas9 in rice. A different line number was assigned to each panicle, and the generation advanced by applying the ear-to-row method. Genome-editing rice has improved drought resistance in drought conditions. Also, in genome-editing rice, the target sequence was homozygous in the 0 generation, and the coefficient of variation of heading date, number of tiller, and 1,000-grain weight was very small in 2 generation. In the era of rapidly changing climate change, CRISPR/Cas9 presents a new breeding strategy that can rapidly and accurately improve agronomic traits of major food crops as well as rice. CRISPR/Cas9 is applied together with traditional breeding to develop into a new breeding strategy, it is suggested that food can be obtained stably in response to climate change.
