A gene coding for mannanase (manA) from Bacillus subtilis was introduced into a shuttle vector pGK12 between Escherichia coli, B. subtilis and Lactobacillus paracasei. As a result of transferring the resultant plasmid, designated pGK12M3, into three different strains, the manA gene was found to be expressed in L. paracasei as well as in B. subtilis and E. coli. In a 4 L fermentor culture, the production of mannanase by recombinant L. paracasei (pGK12M3) reached a maximum level of 5.4 units/ml in an MRS medium with a fixed pH 6.5. Based on the zymogram of mannanase, it is assumed that mannanase produced by recombinant L. paracasei is not maintained stably with proteolytic degradation. The optimal temperature and thermostability of mannanase produced by recombinant L. paracasei were also found to be different from those of enzymes produced by B. subtilis.

Three isomers of damascenone, odorous terpenic ketones, have been synthesized conveniently from a same starting material, ethyl 2,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate(1), which was easily available by the acid-catalyzed condensation of mesityl oxide or acetone with ethyl acetoacetate. ${\alpha}$-Damascenone(7) was prepared by converting the enone ester 1 into the corresponding tosylhydrazone(4), followed by treating with 4 molar equiv of allyllithium. ${\beta}$-Damascenone(12) was synthesized by chemoselective reduction of 1 with sodium borohydride/cerium chloride to give corresponding allylic alcohol 8, conversion of 8 into acetate 9, and thermal decomposition of 9 with DBU to afford ethyl ${\beta}$-safranate(10), followed by reaction with an excess amount of allyllithium. ${\gamma}$-Damascenone(15) was obtained by dehydration of 8 with boric acid to furnish ${\gamma}$-safranate(13), followed by treatment with 2 molar equiv of allyllithium.

본 연구는 돌가자미의 인공종묘생산을 위한 기초자료를 확보하고자 2003년 10월에 충남 격렬비역도 해역에서 자연산 어미를 채집하여 실내에서 자연산란을 유도하고 산란 특성과 포란수를 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 어미는 암컷 12마리(전장 34.5~51.0 cm, 체중 540~2,200 g), 수컷 23마리(전장 29.0~38.0 cm, 체중 310~680 g)이었다. 난소의 발달은 12월부터 꼬리쪽으로 길게 확장되어 육안적으로 쉽게 확인되었다. 돌가자미 어미는 실내에 수용하여 3개월 후부터 산란을 시작하였으며, 2004년 1월 9일부터 3월 27일까지 77일간 이루어졌다. 산란기간 중 일장은 9.8~12.1시간으로 연중 가장 짧았으며, 수온은 $8.4{\sim}12.2^{\circ}C$이었다. 총 산란량은 19,844,000개였으며, 산란중기에 15,433,000개(77.8%)로 가장 산란량이 많았다. 총 산란량중 평균부상율은 50.4%, 수정률은 58.5%, 부화율은 55.6%, 부화자어의 정상 출현율은 93.8%이었다. 전장당 절대포란수의 총 난수는 전장이 커짐에 따라 증가되는 경향을 보였으며, 상대포란수(cm 당)의 총 난수도 전장이 커짐에 따라 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 체중당 절대포란수의 총 난수는 체중이 증가됨에 따라 증가되는 경향을 보였으나 체중당 상대포란수(g 당)의 총 난수는 체중이 증가됨에 따라 증가되나, 일정 체중 이상으로 커지면, 오히려 체중 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

Objective : This study investigated the anti-diabetic effects of DM1, a herbal mixture with Atractylodis Rhizoma, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, and Cinnamomi Cortex in high fat diet (HFD)-induced diabetic mice and the mechanism in C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells. Methods : The C57B/6 mice were fed high fat for 12 weeks, and then administrated DM1 extract (500 mg/kg, p.o.) for 4 weeks. The changes of body weight, calorie and water intakes, fasting blood glucose levels and the serum levels of glucose, insulin, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, AST and ALT were measured in mice. The histological changes of liver and pancreas tissues were also observed by H&E stain. C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes and then treated with DM1 extract (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/㎖) for 24 hr. The expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC), PGC1α, Sirt1 and NRF1, and the AMPK phosphorylation were determined in the myotubes by western blot, respectively. Results : The DM1 extract administration significantly decreased the calorie and water intakes, glucose, triglyceride, AST and ALT levels and increased insulin and HDL-cholesterol in HFD-induced diabetic mice. DM1 extract inhibited lipid accumulation in liver tissue and improved glucose tolerance. In C2C12 myotubes, DM1 treatment increased the expression of MHC, PGC1α, Sirt-1, NRF-1 and the AMPK phosphorylation. Conclusion : In our results indicate that DM1 can improve diabetic symptoms by decreasing the obesity, glucose tolerance and fatty liver in HFD-induced diabetic mice, and responsible mechanism is might be related with energy enhancement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of a combined exercise program on the level of physical fitness and fatigue for cancer survivors. Methods: The subjects were all of 61 persons consisted of prostate cancer(n=22), breast cancer (n=20), and stomach cancer(n=19) survivors. The exercise program was composed of a wall exercise, a chair exercise, a towel exercise and a bottle exercise which lasted 50-60 minutes each, two times a week for 12 weeks. The outcome measures were the fat mass, the muscle mass, the grip strength, the sit and reach, the 6 minutes walk, & fatigue. Results: At the completion of the 12-week combined exercise program, there were statistically significant differences in the grip strength, the sit & reach, the 6 minutes walk, & fatigue for the prostate, breast, and stomach cancer survivors. But no significant differences were found in the muscle mass between the pretest and posttest. Conclusion: As the 12-week combined exercise program was proved to be an effective intervention for improving muscle strength, flexibility, cardiopulmonary fitness & fatigue, it is thought that the program can be utilized as a rehabilitation program for cancer survivors.

The effects of MeOH extracts of ninety kinds of medicinal herbs on dopamine content in PC12 cells were investigated. Among them, the MeOH extracts at a concentration of $40\;{\mu}g/ml$ of Symplocarpus renifolius, Adenocaulon himalaicum and Mosla punctulata decreased $38.5{\sim}60.0%$ of dopamine content. Tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the catecholamine biosynthesis, was inhibited by the treatment of the MeOH extracts of Symplocarpus renifolius, Adenocaulon himalaicum and Mosla punctulata ($19.9{\sim}31.3%$ inhibition at $40\;{\mu}g/ml$). These results suggested that these bioactive herbal medicines exhibited partially an inhibitory effect on dopamine biosynthesis by the reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in PC12 cells.

(+)-Eudesmin [4,8-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7 -dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane] was isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia kobus DC. var. borealis Sarg. and found to have neuritogenic activity. $50\;{\mu}M$ (+)-eudesmin induced neurite outgrowth and enhanced nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells. At this concentration, (+)-eudesmin also enhanced NGF-induced neurite-bearing activity and this activity was partially blocked by various protein kinase inhibitors. These included PD98059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase inhibitor. GF109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and H89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. These results suggest that (+)-eudesmin can induce neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells by stimulating up-stream MAPK, PKC and PKA pathways.

A ferroelectric $(Bi,La)_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) thin film fabricated by the pulsed-DC sputtering method was evaluated on a cell structure to check its compatibility to high density ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) devices. The BLT composition in the sputtering target was $Bi_{4.8}La_{1.0}Ti_{3.0}O_{12}$. Firstly, a BLT film was deposited on a buried Pt/$IrO_x$/Ir bottom electrode stack with W-plug connected to the transistor in a lower place. Then, the film was finally crystallized at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 seconds in oxygen ambient. The annealed BLT layer was found to have randomly oriented and small ellipsoidal-shaped grains (long direction: ~100 nm, short direction: ~20 nm). The small and uniform-sized grains with random orientations were considered to be suitable for high density FeRAM devices.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different 12-week exercise programs for posture correction on postural alignment in elderly women. Method: The study included 36 elderly women who were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A (core exercise, n=12), Group B (combined exercise, n=12), and Group C (Pilates exercise, n=12). Postural alignment was measured using 6 variables in frontal and sagittal planes. Two-way mixed analysis of variance was used to compare the effect of exercise program types on postural alignment and a paired t-test was used to compare differences in postural alignment after exercise. Results: The core exercise group showed statistically significant improvement (p<.05) in multiple upper and lower body postural alignment measurements. The combined exercise and Pilates exercise groups showed statistically significant improvement (p<.05) in upper body measurements alone. Conclusion: Core exercise, combined exercise, and Pilates exercise improved postural alignment in elderly woman through improvement in muscle strength and ligament flexibility around the spine and pelvis.
