Manuka honey (MH) has been shown anti-bacterial activity against several pathogenic bacteria. However, the inhibitory effect of MH on biofilm formation by Escherichia coli O157:H7 has not yet been examined. In this study, MH significantly reduced E. coli O157:H7 biofilm. Moreover, pre- and post-treatment with MH also significantly reduced E. coli O157:H7 biofilm. Cellular metabolic activities exhibited that the viability of E. coli O157:H7 biofilm cells was reduced in the presence of MH. Further, colony forming unit of MH-treated E. coli O157:H7 biofilm was significantly reduced by over 70%. Collectively, this study suggests the potential of anti-biofilm properties of MH which could be applied to control E. coli O157:H7.

Reaction of arachno-S2B7H8- with either THF or 1,2-dimethoxyethane upon refluxing condition results in the formation of the previously known compound hypho-S2B7H10-. Protonation of hypho-S2B7H10- with HCl/Et2O generates hypho-2,5-S2B7H11 in good yield. This hypho-S2B7H10- anion has been employed to generate a series of new nido-, arachno-, and hypho-metalladithiaborane clusters. Reaction of the anion with Cp(CO)2FeCl results in direct metal insertion and the formation of a complex containing the general formula (η5-C5H5)FeS2B7H8. Spectroscopic studies of nido-6-CpFe-7,9-S2B7H8 Ⅰ demonstrated that compound Ⅰ was shown to have an nido-type cage geometry derived from an octadecahedron missing one vertex, with the iron atom occupying the three-coordinate 6-position in the cage and the two sulfurs occupying positions on the open face of the cage. Reaction of hypho-S2B7H10- with CoCl2/Li+[C5H5]- gave the previously known complex arachno-7-CpCo-6,8-S2B6H8 Ⅱ. Also, the reaction of the anion with [Cp*RhCl2]2 gave the complex arachno-7-Cp*Rh-6,8-S2B6H8 Ⅲ, the structure of which was shown to be that of complex Ⅱ. The similarity of the NMR spectra of Ⅱ and Ⅲ suggest that Ⅲ adopts cage structure similar to that previously confirmed for Ⅱ. A series of 9-vertex hypho clusters in which the sulfur atoms are bridged by different species isoelectronic with a BH3 unit, such as HMn(CO)4 or SiR2 have been prepared. Compounds Ⅳ,Ⅴ and Ⅵ are each 2n+4 skeletal electron systems and would be expected according to skeletal electron counting theory to adopt hypho-type polyhedral structures derived from an icosahedron missing three vertices. The complex hypho-1-(CO)4Mn-2,5-S2B6H9 Ⅳ was obtained by the reaction of the anion with (CO)5MnBr and has been shown from spectroscopic data to consist of a (CO)4Mn fragment bound to the two sulfur atoms S2 and S5 of hypho-S2B7H10-. Also, similar hypho-type complexes hypho-1-R2Si-2,5-S2B6H8 (R=CH3 Ⅴ, R=C6H5 Ⅵ) have been prepared from the reaction of hypho-S2B7H10- with R2SiHCl.

최근에 재조합 H7Nx 인플루엔자 바이러스가 산발적으로 인체 감염 사례가 보고되고 있으며 이러한 바이러스는 조류 종으로부터 지속적으로 분리되고있다. 본 연구에서는 조류에서 유래된 H7N1 인플루엔자 바이러스를 분리하여 A/wild bird/South Korea/sw-anu/2023로 명명하였고, 전장유전체 분석과 분자적 특성을 분석하였다. 계통발생학적 분석 결과 A/wild bird/South Korea/sw-anu/2023는 유라시아 혈통에 속하는 H7N1 인플루엔자 바이러스로 확인되었다. A/wild bird/South Korea/sw-anu/2023 바이러스의 polymerase basic 1(PB)2, PB1, polymerase acidic (PA), nucleoprotein (NP) 유전자는 야생 조류에서 분리되었던 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스유전자와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), matrix (M), nonstructural (NS) 유전자는 집오리에서 분리되었던 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스와 유사하였다. 이러한 결과는 동아시아-호주 이동 경로를 따라 이동하는 야생 조류들 사이에서 새롭게 유전자가 재배열된 재조합 H7N1 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스가 순환되고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 따라서, H7Nx 인플루엔자 바이러스는 전 세계적으로 순환하며, 돌연변이된 H7N1 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스는 인간을 감염시킬 수 있으므로 야생 조류 및 가금류에서 H7N1 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스의 지속적인 감시가 필요할 것이다.

B7-H4 is a member of B7 family of co-inhibitory molecules and B7-H4 protein is found to be overexpressed in many human cancers and which is usually associated with poor survival. In this study, we developed a therapeutic vaccine made from a fusion protein composed of a tetanus toxoid (TT) T-helper cell epitope and human B7-H4IgV domain (TT-rhB7-H4IgV). We investigated the anti-tumor effect of the TT-rhB7-H4IgV vaccine in BALB/c mice and SP2/0 myeloma growth was significantly suppressed in mice. The TT-rhB7-H4IgV vaccine induced high-titer specific antibodies in mice. Further, the antibodies induced by TT-rhB7-H4IgV vaccine were capable of depleting SP2/0 cells through complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) in vitro. On the other hand, the poor cellular immune response was irrelevant to the therapeutic efficacy. These results indicate that the recombinant TT-rhB7-H4IgV vaccine might be a useful candidate of immunotherapy for the treatment of some tumors associated with abnormal expression of B7-H4.

개의 피부질환은 발생이 매우 높은 질환으로 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하나 대부분 장기간의 치료가 요구되거나 완치가 되지 않고 평생 치료를 받아야 하는 경우가 많다. 샴푸는 원발성 원인 치료에 보조적으로 사용되고 있으나 처방샴푸 치료의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 피부표면 pH에 대한 다양한 샴퓨의 영향을 알아보기 위해 샴퓨를 정상견의 피부에 적용한 후 피부 pH 측정기를 통해 pH를 측정하였으며 적용된 샴푸는 Humilac, Sebocalm, Sebolytics, Etiderm, PEroxyderm, HyLy-T, Zn-7를 이용하였다. 해부학적 위치에 대한 피부 pH는 우측 흉부가 7.66$\pm$0.10으로 가장 높았고 좌측 이개는 6.20$\pm$0.23으로 가장 낮았으나 모두 정상 범위 (6.2-7.8)이었다. 샴푸 적용후 7분에 Humilac (p<0.01), Sebocalm(p<0.01), Etiderm(p<0.01), Peroxyderm(p<0.01), 과 Sebolytics (p<0.05)가 detergent에 비해 유의하게 낮았으며 Humilac과 Sebocalm은 정상범위 보다 낮게 나타났다. HyLy-T와 Zn-7 Derm은 적용후 17분에는 샴푸를 적용한 모든 피부의 pH는 증가하였으며 77분에 다소 증가하였다. 본 실험을 통해 처방 샴푸는 피부의 pH를 낮추었고 그 효과는 즉시 나타났으며 피부 pH 측정기는 피부의 pH측정에 실제적이며 간단한 방법으로 생각된다.

Buckwheat protein isolate was tested for the effects of pH, addition of sodium chloride and heat treatment on solubility, emulsion capacities, emulsion stability, surface hydrophobicity, foam capacities and foam stability. The solubility of buckwheat protein isolate was affected by pH and showed the lowest value at pH 4.5, the isoelectric point of buckwheat protein isolate. The solubility significantly as the pH value reached closer to either ends of the pH, i.e., pH 1.0 and 11.0. The effects of NaCl concentration on solubility were as follows; at pH 2.0, the solubility significantly decreased when NaCl was added; at pH 4.5, it increased above 0.6 M; at pH 7.0 it increased; and at pH 9.0 it decreased. The solubility increased above $80^{\circ}C$, at all pH ranges. The emulsion capacity was the lowest at pH 4.5. It significantly increased as the pH approached higher acidic or alkalic regions. At pH 2.0, when NaCl was added, the emulsion capacity decreased, but it increased at pH 4.5 and showed the maximum value at pH 7.0 and 9.0 with 0.6 M and 0.8 M NaCl concentrations. Upon heating, the emulsion capacity decreased at acidic pH's but was maximised at pH 7.0 and 9.0 on $60^{\circ}C$ heat treatment. The emulsion stability was the lowest at pH 4.5 but increased with heat treatment. At acidic pH, the emulsion stability increased with the increase in NaCl concentration but decreased at pH 7.0 and 9.0. Generally, at other pH ranges, the emulsion stability was decreased with increased heating temperature. The surface hydrophobicity showed the highest value at pH 2.0 and the lowest value at pH 11.0. As NaCl concentrationed, the surface hydrophobicity decreased at acidic pH. The NaCl concentration had no significant effects on surface hydrophobicity at pH 7.0, 9.0 except for the highest value observed at 0.8 M and 0.4 M. At all pH ranges, the surface hydrophobicity was increased, when the temperature increased. The foam capacity decreased, with increased in pH value. At acidic pH, the foam capacity was decreased with the increased in NaCl concentration. The highest value was observed upon adding 0.2 M or 0.4 M NaCl at pH 7.0 and 9.0. Heat treatments of $60^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ showed the highest foam capacity values at pH 2.0 and 4.5, respectively. At pH 7.0 and 9.0, the foam capacity decreased with the increased in temperature. The foam stability was not significantly related to different pH values. The addition of 0.4 M NaCl at pH 2.0, 7.0 and 9.0 showed the highest stability and the addition of 1.0 M at pH 4.5 showed the lowest. The higher the heating temperature, the lower the foam stability at pH 2.0 and 9.0. However, the foam stability increased at pH 4.5 and 7.0 before reaching $80^{\circ}C$.

최근 산업의 발달로 인한 식품의 안전성에 대한 국민의 우려가 증가되고 있으며 특히 식품을 미생물의 증식으로부터 안전하게 보존하기 위한 천연식품보존제의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 지구상에 풍부한 천연자원인 키토산과 합성 화학 보존제인 소르빈산을 사용하여 그람음성 병원성 식중독 원인균인 Escherichia coli O517:H7 과 대표적 그람양성 식중독 원인균인 Staph. aureus에 대해 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. Escherichia coli O517:H7에 대한 키토산의 최소 발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 500 ppm, pH5.5에서 250 ppm, pH 6.0에서 5000 ppm, 그리고 pH6.5에서 2000 ppm이었으며, Staph. aureus에 대한 키토산의 최소발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 500 ppm, pH 5.5에서 250 ppm, pH 6.0에서 500 ppm, 그리고 pH6.5에서 2000 ppm이었으며, Staph. aureus에 대한 키토산의 최소 발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 31.3 ppm이었으며, pH5.5 이상에서는 62.5 ppm이었다. 소르빈산의 최소발육억제농도는 pH5.0에서 500 ppm, pH 5.5에서 1500 ppm, 그리고 pH 6.0이상에서는 2000 ppm이상이었다. Staph.aureus에 대한 소르빈산의 최소발육억제 농도는 pH 5.0에서 1500 ppm이었으며, pH5.5 이상에서는 2000 ppm이상이었다. Escherichia coli O517:H7 에 대한 키토산과 소르빈산의 병용처리효과는 pH에 크게 영향을 받아 pH 6.5에서는 키토산 농도 500 ppm과 소르빈산 500 ppmshd도에 발육이 억제되었으나 pH5.0에서는 키토산농도 250 ppm과 소르빈산 31.3 ppm에 억제되었다. 한편, Staph.aureus에서는 pH에 대한 영향이 별로 없었으며, 키토산의 영향을 크게 받으나 소르빈산의 영향은 거의 없었다. pH 6.5, $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 500 ppm 및 소르빈산 500 ppm 처리와 키토산 250 ppm 및 소르빈산 250 ppm 병용처리군에서 모두 증식이 억제되었으나 키토산의 영향을 크게 받으나 소르빈산의 영향은 거의 없었다. pH6.5 $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 500 ppm 및 소르빈산 500 ppm처리와 키토산 250 ppm 및 소르빈산 250 ppm 병용 처리군에서 모두 증식이 억제되었으나 키토산과 소르빈산 단독처리군에서는 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 균의 증식이 계속되었다. Staph.aureus는 소리빈사에 영향을 받지 않았으며 병용효과보다는 키토산에 대한 영향이 컸다. pH5.5, $37^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 Escherichia coli O517:H7은 키토산 550 ppm, 250 ppm 단독 첨가시와 병용 처리시 모두 3시간 이내에 균증식이 억제되었다. Staph. aureus의 경우는 키토산 50 ppm 단독처리군과 키토산 25 ppm과 소르빈산 2000 ppm 병용처리군에서 균증식이 사멸되었다. Escherichia coli O517:H7에 대한 키토산과 소르빈산 병용처리시 MIC와의 관계는 pH6.5에서 R=0.95(p<0.01), pH6.0에서 R=0.99(p<0.01), pH5.5에서 R=0.97(p<0.01), 그리고 pH5.0에서 R=0.99(p<0.01)로 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. Staph. aureus에 대해서는 소르빈산의 병용처리에 의한 효과는 거의 없었다. 이상의 결과로 종합하면 pH 변화에 따른 키토산과 소르빈산 단독 및 병용처리로 인한 상승효과를 확인할 수 있었으며 이 결과 천연식품인 키토산을 병용함으로써 인체에 영향이 있는 합성 화학보존제인 소르빈산의 양을 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 또한 식품의 보존성을 더 증가 또는 유지시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study calculated kinetic parameters of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and developed a probabilistic model to estimate growth probabilities of E. coli O157:H7 on polyethylene cutting boards as a function of temperature and time. The surfaces of polyethylene coupons ($3{\times}5$ cm) were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 NCCP11142 at 4 Log $CFU/cm^2$. The coupons were stored at 13 to $35^{\circ}C$ for 12 h, and cell counts of E. coli O157:H7 were enumerated on McConkey II with sorbitol agar every 2 h. Kinetic parameters (maximum specific growth rate, Log $CFU/cm^2/h$; lag phase duration, h; lower asymptote, Log $CFU/cm^2$; upper asymptote, Log $CFU/cm^2$) were calculated with the modified Gompertz model. Of 56 combinations (temperature${\times}$time), the combinations that had ${\geq}$0.5 Log $CFU/cm^2$ of bacterial growth were designated with the value of 1, and the combinations that had increases of <0.5 Log $CFU/cm^2$ were given the value 0. These growth response data were fitted to the logistic regression to develop the model predicting probabilities of E. coli O157:H7 growth. Specific growth rate and growth data showed that E. coli O157:H7 cells were grown at $28-35^{\circ}C$, but there were no obvious growth of the pathogen below $25^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the developed probabilistic model showed acceptable performance to calculate growth probability of E. coli O157:H7. Therefore, the results should be useful in determining upper limits of working temperature and time, inhibiting E. coli O157:H7 growth on polyethylene cutting board.
