Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of Korean medicine in a patient with multiple system atrophy-C (MSA-C). Methods: A patient diagnosed with MSA-C was treated with herbal medicine (Boyangwhano-tang hap Yeokgan-san), acupuncture, and moxibustion for 8 weeks. Clinical improvements were evaluated by the unified MSA rating scale (UMSARS) and the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA). Results: Improvements in the total scores of UMSARS Part I, II, and IV and SARA were observed after Korean medicine treatments. However, there were no improvements to the urinary and autonomic dysfunctions. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment may be an effective treatment for a degenerative, progressive disease like MSA-C.

본 연구는 상지추출물과 stilbene 화합물인 MSA, ORT의 항비만 효능을 비교 분석하고자 식이성 비만 마우스 모델을 이용하여 HFD에 실험물질을 첨가한 식이를 13주 동안 급여하였다. 연구결과, 실험물질들의 항비만 효능은 ORT, ME, MSA, MW군 순이었으며, 특히 ME와 ORT의 급여는 고지방식이에 의한 체중 및 체지방 증가, 혈당 증가, 이상지질혈증 및 지방간 개선에 있어 양성대조군인 GC군과 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 향후 관련 기작 규명 및 안전성 확보, 그리고 최대 유효성 도출을 위한 추출 조건 확립 및 용량 검증 등의 연구가 수행된다면 체중조절용 기능성 식품으로의 개발을 기대해 볼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We applied methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a green catalyst to produce levulinic acid (LA) from monomeric sugars. To optimize reaction factors and assess the effect of reciprocal interactions, a statistical experimental design was applied. Optimized result of 40.7% LA yield was obtained under the following conditions: 60 g/L galactose, 0.4 M MSA at $188^{\circ}C$ for 26.7 min. On the other hand, 66.1% LA yield was achieved under 60 g/L fructose and 0.4 M MSA at $188^{\circ}C$ for 36 min conditions. For the effect of combined severity factor on the LA yield from galactose, the LA yield showed a peaked pattern, which was linearly increased until a CSF 3.2 and then diminished with a high CSF. Moreover, it was closely fitted to a non-linear Gaussian peak pattern with a high regression value of 0.989. These results suggest that MSA and galactose, derived from marine red macro-algae, can potentially be applied for the conversion into platform chemicals.

While the vessel become bigger and high speed, navigational passages become narrow due to an enlargement of all sorts of new ports, sea-crossing bridges and anchorages, leading to the high probability of marine accidents. Furthermore, a constant increase in the maritime transportation and the traffic volume on the sea led to a variety of sea traffic environments and it is a trend for the demand for the sea transportation environment to increase steadily. At this point of time, the Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs introduced the Korea Maritime Safety Laws evaluating the degree that The Safety Audit System for maritime transport, which evaluates the degree that all kinds of port facilities installed temporarily or installed into navigational passages, and the installations and repair constructions of S.O.C. facilities affect ships' traffic safety, was introduced through Korea Maritime Safety Laws and went into effect from November 28th, 2009. This study was performed to introduce an outline including the concept and purpose of the Maritime Safety Audit(MSA) system for maritime transport and the technological guidelines for scientific and standardized enforcement, thereby analyzing the system.

The purpose of this case report is to describe the effectiveness of Korean medicine in the treatment of gait disturbance in advanced stage multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-C). This inpatient was treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmaco-acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and chuna therapy. The gait disturbance was assessed by Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale(UMSARS), Tinnetti test, and 16m walking spatial features. After treatment, UMSARS Part I score was enhanced, decreasing from 29 to 24, Part II score from 34 to 18. Tinetti test score increased from 7 to 20. Gait stride length increased and width decreased. This study suggests that Korean medical treatment could be an effective treatment for delaying the progress of gait disturbance in advanced-stage MSA-C patients.

본 연구는 농산물로부터 S. aureus분리에 적합한 배지를 선발하고자 난황첨가 mannitol salt agar (MSA), 난황과 tellurite과 첨가된 Barid-Parker agar (BPA), 토끼혈장이 첨가된 Barid-Parker agar (BPA+RPF), 3M petrifilm Staph Express count plates (Petriflm) 및 CHROMagar Staphylococcus aureus (CSA)의 민감도, 특이도, 손상된 세포에 대한 회복능, 농산물로부터 회수율에 대하여 비교 실험을 하였다. 민감도와 특이도를 조사하기 위하여 S. aureus 21주, Stapylococcus spp. 20주, 그 외 식중독균 33주를 각 선택배지에 접종하였으며 손상된 세포에 대한 회복능은 조사를 위하여 열($60^{\circ}C$, 90초), 산(1% lactic acid, 10분), 저온($-20^{\circ}C$, 1시간) 처리하였다. 또한 양상추, 토마토, 고추에 S. aureus를 4.0 log CFU/g농도로 접종하고 각 선택배지에 도말하였다. 민감도는 BPA+RPF(100%) = CSA(100%)=petrifilm(100%) > MSA(90.5%) > BPA(90.5%), 특이도는 BPA+RPF(100%) = CSA(100%) > MSA(84.6%) > BPA(75.0%) > petrifilm(67.3%) 순으로 나타났다. 한편, 손상된 세포의 회복능과 농산물에서 회수율은 5종의 배지에서 차이가 없었다. 따라서 농산물 중 S. aureus를 분리할 시 BPA+RPF와 CSA를 사용하는 것이 가장 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

포도 ASR (VvMSA) 단백질은 hexose transporter 유전자 VvHT1의 전사를 조절하는 조절 인자 중의 하나로서 sugar 및 abscisic acid (ABA) 신호에 의해 발현이 유도된다. 본 연구진은 ACP RT-PCR (annealing control primer reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) 방법을 이용하여 포도 과실발달 과정에서 조절되는 유전자 중 VvMSA와 동일한 cDNA (VlASR)를 클로닝하였다. 이 유전자는 착과 시기에 발현되기 시작하여 과실이 발달하면서 점점 증가하여 착과 후 10 주에 가장 많이 발현되며, 숙기 후반에는 도리어 발현양이 감소하였다. 포도 asr 유전자의 조절기작을 밝히기 위해, 이 유전자의 genomic clone을 분리하였다. 총 1375 bp로 이루어진 이 유전자 절편에는 open reading frame과 100 bp의 intron을 포함하고 있다. 약 600 bp 길이의 프로모터 내에는 sugar 신호전달과 연관이 있는 것으로 알려진 sugar box(sucrose box 3 +sucrose response box 1)가 있다. 프로모터 절편을 reporter 유전자와 연결하여 Arabidopsis에 도입하고 형질전환체를 분석한 결과, reporter 유전자는 sucrose 처리와 상관없이 항상 발현되었다. 이러한 결과는 포도에서 보고된 ASR/VvHT1를 매개로 하는 sugar/ABA 신호전달계가 asr 유전자가 없는 Arabidopsis에서는 작동되지 않음을 시사하고 있다.

Dieback of pine branches or twigs with brown needles occurs most commonly on Pinus species after severe winter in Korea. In this study, Cenangium ferruginosum was isolated from infected stems, branches, and twigs of Pinus koraiensis (C1), P. densiflora (C2), and P. thunbergii (C3). Morphological and cultural characteristics of the isolates were than compared. There were no significant differences in the morphological characteristics of conidia and ascospores produced by the three isolates. However, cultural differences were observed among the isolates. Optimum temperatures for mycelial growth of C1, C2, and C3 were 15, 20, and $20^{\circ}$, respectively. C1 produced a few conidia and no ascospores, while C2 and C3 produced abundant ascospores and conidia. While optimum temperatures for mycelial growth ranged from 15 to $20^{\circ}$, mycelial growth was also relatively good at lower temperatures of 5-$10^{\circ}$. Conidiomata and conidia were produced on MSA (malt extract soya peptone agar) after 25-30 days of incubation in the dark at $15^{\circ}$. Apothecia were produced by altering culture condition from 15 to $20^{\circ}$, and incubating for 35-60 more days. Optimum temperature for ascospore and conidium germination was $20^{\circ}$. RAPD analysis revealed that there was high similarity of 0.78 between C2 and C3, and low similarity of 0.31 between C2 or C3 and C1.
