Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary multi-strain probiotic (MSP) (Bacillus coagulans Unique IS2 + Bacillus subtillis UBBS14 + Saccharomyces boulardii Unique 28) on performance, gut morphology and expression of nutrient transporter related genes in broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 256 (4×8×8) day-old CARIBRO Vishal commercial broiler chicks of uniform body weight were randomly distributed into four treatments with 8 replicates each and having eight chicks in each replicate. Four dietary treatments were T₁ (negative control-basal diet), T₂ (positive control-antibiotic bacitracin methylene disalicylate at 20 mg/kg diet), T₃ (MSP at 10⁷ colony-forming unit [CFU]/g feed), and T₄ (MSP at 10⁸ CFU/g feed). Results: During 3 to 6 weeks and 0 to 6 weeks, the body weight gain increased significantly (p<0.05) in T₃ and T₄ groups. The feed intake significantly (p<0.05) reduced from T₁ to T₃ during 0 to 3 weeks and the feed conversion ratio also significantly (p<0.05) improved in T₃ and T₄ during 0 to 6 weeks. The humoral and cell mediated immune response and the weight of immune organs were also significantly (p<0.05) improved in T₃ and T₄. However, significant (p<0.05) dietary effects were observed on intestinal histo-morphometry of ileum in T₃ followed by T₄ and T₂. At 14 d post hatch, the relative gene expression of glucose transporter (GLUT5), sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT₁) and peptide transporter (PepT₁) showed a significant (p<0.05) up-regulating pattern in T₂, T₃, and T₄. Whereas, at 21 d post hatch, the gene expression of SGLT₁ and PepT₁ was significantly (p<0.05) downregulated in MSP supplemented treatments T₃ and T₄. Conclusion: The supplementation of MSP at 10⁷ CFU/g diet showed significant effects with improved performance, immune response, gut morphology and expression of nutrient transporter genes. Thus, the MSP could be a suitable alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in chicken diets.

매실은 한국, 일본 및 중국 등지에서 섭취하여온 과실로서 유기산이 풍부하며, 다량의 무기질 및 폴리페놀 성분을 함유한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 매실을 이용하여 예로부터 절임이나 청 등으로 가공하여 섭취할 뿐만 아니라 구토, 해독 및 해열에 효능이 있는 한약재로서 사용해왔다. 본 연구에서는 매실을 이용하여 분획물을 제조하고 각각의 인체 대장암세포에 대한 성장 억제효과를 확인하였으며, colony 형성능, 형태학적 관찰, apoptotic body 형성, 단백질 변화 및 환경호르몬에 대한 방어 효과를 평가하였다. 매실 분획물의 인체 대장암세포 HT-29에 대한 증식 억제효과는 매실 메탄올 분획물(maesil methanol fraction, MMF) 및 매실 부탄올 분획물(maesil, butanol fraction, MBF)이 가장 뛰어난 효능을 나타내었다. MMF 및 MBF의 처리에 따라 colony 형성능 또한 농도의존적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 형태학적 변화 또한 확인할 수 있었다. 핵의 형태학적 변화를 관찰한 결과 $125{\mu}g/ml$의 MMF 및 MBF 처리에 따라 apoptotic body의 형성 및 핵 응축을 관찰하였다. MMF 및 MBF의 처리에 따른 인체 대장암세포의 성장 억제효과가 apoptosis 와 관련이 있는지 단백질의 변화를 확인한 결과, pro-apoptotic 단백질은 Bax, caspase-3, PARP의 발현이 농도의존적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, anti-apoptotic 단백질인 Bcl-2의 발현은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 환경호르몬의 일종은 bisphenol A (BPA)에 의해 성장이 증식된 HT-29세포는 MMF의 처리에 따라 유의적인 성장억제 효과를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 매실 분획물을 이용한 기능성 식품 소재화에 대한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

동물플랑크톤 배양여과액 내의 분비물질 (info-chemi-cals)에 의해 유도되는 Microcystis aeruginosa의 성장, 군체형성과 독소생성량의 변화를 관찰하였다. 성체까지 자란 동물플랑크톤 Daphnia magna Straus와 Moina macrocopa Straus의 배양 여과액 (ZCMF)을 비교적 낮은 독소를 생성하는 M. aeruginosa배지에 첨가해준 후, ZCMF의 농도에 따른 성장시기별 세포밀도의 변화를 관찰한 결과, 지수성장기 (7일 이후)부터, ZCMF농도가 높아짐에 따라 세포밀도의 감소가 관찰되었다. 또한,20% ZCMF를 M. aeruginosa배지에 첨가해준 후, 군체형성 변화 및 microcystin 생성량의 변화를 관찰한 결과, 동물플랑크톤 처리군에서 2${\sim}$4일 째까지 군체당 세포수 및 평균 입자체적의 증가 현상이 관찰되었으며, 이 현상은 Moina 처리군보다는 Daphnia-처리군에서 더 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. Microcystin 생성량의 경우 동물플랑크톤 처리군에서 4일째 최고값을 보여주었으며, 이후 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, Daphnia 처리군에서는 4일째최고 $70.5{\pm}16.8\;{\mu}g/g$-dry cell까지 검출되었다. M. aeruginosa의 성장형의 변화, 군체형성과 microcystin 생성현상은 동물플랑크톤의 분비 화학물질을 매개로 한 M. aeruginosa의 방어수단으로 생각되며, 이러한 기작은 수생 생태계 내에서 피${\cdot}$포식자간의 상호관계를 설명할 수 있는 한 현상으로 생각된다.

Semaphoring is a transmembrane receptor which participates in many cytokine-mediated signal pathways that are closely related to the angiogenesis, occurrence and development of carcinoma. The present study was designed to access the effect of mono-antibody (mAb) guided radioimmunotherapy (RIT) on skin carcinoma and investigate the potential mechanisms. Semaphoring mAb was acquired from mice (Balb/c), purified with rProtein A column; purity, concentration and activity were tested with SDS-PAGE and indirect ELISA; specificity and expression on the cutanuem carcinoma line and tissue were tested by Western blotting; morphology change was assessed by microscopy. MTT assay and colony inhibition tests were carried out to test the influence on the proliferation of tumor cells; Western blotting was also carried out for expression of apoptosis-associated (caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2) and proliferation-related (PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2) proteins and analyse the change in signal pathways (PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK). The purity of purified semaphorin mAb was 96.5% and the titer is about $1{\times}10^6$. Western blotting showed semaphoring mAb to have specifically binding stripes with semaphoring b1b2 protein, B16F10, and A431 cells at 39KDa, 100KDa and 130KDa, respectively. Positive expression was detected both in cutanuem carcinoma line and tissue and it mostly located in cell membranes. MMT assay revealed dose-relate and time-relate inhibitory effect of semaphorin mAb on A431 and B16F10. Colony inhibition tests also showed dose-relate inhibitory effects. Western blotting demonstrated the expression of apoptosis and proliferation-related protein and changes in signal pathway. In conclusion, we demonstrated that semaphorin is highly expressed on the tumor cell-surfaces and RIT with semaphorin mAb has effect in i nhibiting proliferation and accelerating apoptosis of tumor cells.

dsRNA was found in malformed cultures of Lentinula edodes strain FMRI0339, one of the three most popular sawdust cultivated commercial strains of shiitake, and was also found in healthy-looking fruiting bodies and actively growing mycelia. Cloning of the partial genome of the dsRNA revealed the presence of the RdRp sequence of a novel L. edodes mycovirus (LeV), and sequence comparison of the cloned amplicon showed an identical sequence to known RdRp genes of LeV found in strain HKA. The meiotic stability of dsRNA was examined by measuring the ratio of the presence of dsRNA among sexual monokaryotic progeny. More than 40% of the monokaryotic progeny still contained the dsRNA, indicating the persistence of dsRNA during sexual reproduction. Comparing the mycelia growth of monokaryotic progeny suggested that, although variations in the growth rate existed among progeny and virus infection was observed in highly actively growing progeny, there appeared to be a tendency toward a lower frequency of virus incidence in actively growing progeny. This study attempted to cure the edible mushroom L. edodes strain FMRI0339 of the L. edodes mycovirus (LeV) in order to obtain an isogenic virus-free fungal strain as well as a virus-infected strain for comparison. Mycelial fragmentation, followed by being spread on a plate with serial dilutions resulted in a virus-free colony. Viral absence was confirmed with gel electrophoresis after dsRNA-specific virus purification, Northern blot analysis, and PCR using reverse transcriptase (RT-PCR). Once cured, all of fungal cultures remained virus-free over the next two years. Interestingly, the viral titer of LeV varied depending on the culture condition. The titer from the plate culture showed at least a 20-fold higher concentration than that grown in the liquid culture. However, the reduced virus titer in the liquid culture was recovered by transferring the mycelia to a plate containing the same medium. In addition, oxygen-depleted culture conditions resulted in a significant decrease of viral concentration, but not to the extent seen in the submerged liquid culture. Although no $discernable phenotypic changes in colony morphology were observed, virus-cured strains showed significantly higher growth rates and mycelial mass than virus-infected strains. We were also explored effects of LeV on fruiting body formation and mushroom yield. The fruiting body formation yield of virus-free L. edodes was larger than virus-infected L. edodes. These results indicate that LeV infection has a deleterious effect on mycelial growth and fruiting body formation. In addition, we have been investigated host-parasite interaction between L. edodes and its mycovirus interaction to study viral mechanism by establishment of proteomics.

Podostroma cornu-damae is a rare species of fungus belonging to the Hyocreaceae family. Its fruit body is highly toxic, as it contains trichothecene mycotoxins. The morphology is similar to that of immature Ganoderma lucidum, making identification difficult for non-experts. We experienced such a case of a 56- year-old male who picked and consumed podostroma cornu-damae, and consumed. Later that day, he developed digestive system symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. He presented to the emergency room (ER), there were no abnormal physical findings, symptoms improved after gastric lavage, and the patient voluntarily discharged himself on the same day. The following day, as the symptoms gradually deteriorated, he was admitted via the ER. He was presented with severe pancytopenia, alopecia, desquamation of skin, and acute renal failure. He recovered without any complications after conservative care, antibiotics therapy, and granulocyte colony stimulating factor administration. The most commonly reported complications of podostroma cornu-damae intoxication were reported pancytopenia, infection, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute renal failure, etc. since Prevention is especially important because its toxicity can be lethal and there is no particular treatment to date, prevention is especially important. Promotion and education for the public are needed.

Background: Porcine pluripotent stem cells (pPSCs) would provide enormous potential for agriculture and biomedicine. However, authentic pPSCs have not established yet because standards for pPSCs-specific markers and culture conditions are not clear. Therefore, the present study reports comparative pluripotency characteristics in porcine induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) derived from different viral transduction and reprogramming factors [Lenti-iPSCs (OSKM), Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) and Sev-iPSCs (OSKM)]. Methods: Porcine fibroblasts were induced into Lenti-iPSCs (OSKM) and Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) by using Lentiviral vector and Sev-iPSCs (OSKM) by using Sendaiviral vector. Expressions of endogenous or exogenous pluripotency-associated genes, surface marker and in vitro differentiation in between Lenti-piPSCs (OSKM), Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) and Sev-piPSCs (OSKM) were compared. Results: Colonial morphology of Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) closely resembles the naïve mouse embryonic stem cells colony for culture, whereas Sev-iPSCs (OSKM) colony is similar to the primed hESCs. Also, the activity of AP shows a distinct different in piPSCs (AP-positive (+) Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) and Sev-iPSCs (OSKM), but AP-negative (-) Lenti-iPSCs (OSKM)). mRNAs expression of several marker genes (OCT-3/4, NANOG and SOX2) for pluripotency was increased in Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) and Sev-iPSCs (OSKM), but Sev-iPSCs (OSKM). Interestingly, SSEA-1 of surface markers was expressed only in Sev-iPSCs (OSKM), whereas SSEA-4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81 were positively expressed in Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL). Exogenous reprogramming factors continuously expressed in Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) for passage 20, whereas Sev-iPSCs (OSKM) did not express any exogenous transcription factors. Finally, only Lenti-iPSCs (OSKMNL) express the three germ layers and primordial germ cells markers in aggregated EBs. Conclusions: These results indicate that the viral transduction system of reprograming factors into porcine differentiated cells display different pluripotency characteristics in piPSCs.

본 연구에서는 미소기공과 Si석출상의 파단으로 구성되는 유효기공 면적분율에 대한 인장특성의 결함민감도 관점에서 Al-Si합금의 인장특성을 공정 Si입자의 분포양상 변화에 대하여 평가하고자 하였다. Al-xSi(x=2,5,8,11)합금의 주방상태 미세조직인 망상구조의 공정 Si입자는 T4처리를 통하여 과립형태로 변형시켰으며, CT분석과 주사전자현미경 관찰을 통하여 미소기공의 분포와 크기를 평가하였다. CT분석과 주사전자현미경의 비교분석을 통하여 인장변형과정에서의 균열성장이 최대 기공율을 포함하는 국부영역에서 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이들 분석방법에는 미소기공 인접영역에서의 소성변형집중과 미소기공의 분포양상에 의해 파생되는 실제적인 차이를 포함하기 때문에 정확히 일치된 결과를 얻을 수 없었다. 유효기공 면적분율의 변화에 대한 인장강도와 연신율의 변화는 과립형태보다 망상구조 정출상의 분율변화에 더욱 민감한 의존도를 가진다.
