Six week-old ICR mite which were divided into four groups including NC, RC, RR and RS were injected with sun ginseng (RS), red ginseng (RR) and saline (RC) intraperitonedlly as an amount of 60 mg/g body weight at 1 hour, 12 hours and 36 hours before the irradiation of high-energy X-ray and the mire were sacrificed at three and a half days after the irradiation. The RS group were significant increase in the weight of spleen (p<0.01) and the numbers of jejunal crypt cells (P<0.01), WBC (p<0.05), lymphocytes (p<0.05) and neutrophils (p<0.05) in comparison with the RC group. The RR group were significant increase in the numbers of jejunal crypt cells (p<0.001), WBC (p<0.05) and neutrophils (p<0.05) in comparison with the RC group. The RS group exhibited a more increase in the weights of spleen and thymus and the numbers of jejunal crypt cells and all items of hematological examination than the RR group. The values of ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) were significantly elevated (p<0.05) by radiation and they were significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the RS group to the values of the NC group. Taken together the above results, sun ginseng demonstrated a jejunal crypt survival effect, the protective effects on hepatocytes and immune and hematopoietic cells in mice irradiated with high-energy X-ray, and those radiation protective effects were a little higher in comparison with red ginseng.

Monomelic amyotrophy (MA), also known as Hirayama disease, occurs mainly in young men and manifests as weakness and wasting of the muscles of the distal upper limbs. Here, we sought to identify a genetic basis for MA. Given the predominance of MA in males, we focused on candidate neurological disease genes located on the X chromosome, selecting two X-linked candidate genes, androgen receptor (AR ) and ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1). Screening for genetic variants using patients' genomic DNA revealed three known genetic variants in the coding region of the AR gene: one nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs78686797) encoding Leu57Gln, and two variants of polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine (CAG repeat; rs5902610) and polyglycine (GGC repeat; rs3138869) tracts. Notably, the Leu57Gln polymorphism was found in two patients with MA from 24 MA patients, whereas no variants were found in 142 healthy male controls. However, the numbers of CAG and GGC repeats in the AR gene were within the normal range. These data suggest that the Leu57Gln polymorphism encoded by the X-linked AR gene may contribute to the development of MA.

새로운 N-phenylthionocarbamate 유도체들의 N-phenyl-치환기(X) 변화에 따른 벼잎집무늬마름병균(Rhizoctonia solani) 및 고추역병균(Phytophthora capsici)에 대한 살균활성과의 3D-QSARs 관계를 상이한 정렬에 따른 비교 분자장 분석(CoMFA) 방법으로 연구하였다. 그 결과, field fit 정렬 조건에서 유도된 CoMFA 모델들이 atom based fit 정렬 조건의 모델보다 양호하였다. 따라서 두 균주에 대한 살균활성을 가장 잘 설명하는 CoMFA 모델들은 field fit 정렬과 CoMFA장들의 조합 조건에서 유도된 CoMFA 모델(RS: RF2 및 PC: PF2)들이었다. 두 CoMFA 모델들은 통계적으로 높은 예측성($r^2_{cv.}$=RS: 0.557 및 PC: 0.676)과 상관성($r^2_{ncv.}$=RS: 0.954 및 PC:0.968)을 보였다. 그리고 두 균주에 사이의 선택적인 살균활성은 기질분자의 정전기장에 의존적이었으며 CoMFA 등고도는 두 균주에 대한 살균활성이 기질분자의 치환기(X) 변화로 개전 될 수 있을 것임을 나타내었다.

Bacillus subtilis의 glutamyl-tRNA synthetase(GluRS)는 대장균에서 발현될 때 숙주세포의 $tRNA_1^{Gln}$에 glutamate를 잘못 아실화하여 독성을 나타내는 것으로 추정되고 있다. 이러한 B. subtilis GluRS를 대장균에서 과발현 시키기 위하여 B. subtilis 168 균주의 chromosomal DNA에서 GluRS의 유전자(gltX)를 PCR을 이용하여 증폭하고 T7 promoter에 의해 발현이 조절되는 pET11a expression vector에 클로닝하였다. 이 재조합된 pEBER plasmid DNA로 T7 RNA polymerase를 갖는 대장균 NovaBlue(DE3)에 형질전환하였다. 형질전환된 대장균에 IPTG를 처리하여 과량 생성된 GluRS 단백질은 ammonium sulfate 분별침전 후 EPLC를 이용한 Source Q column anion exchange chromatography, Superdex 200 column gel filtration, Mono Q column anion exchange chromatography로 정제하였다. 정제된 B. subtilis의 GluRS 분자량은 약 55 kDa이었으며 효소의 활성도는 조효소액에 비해 18배로 증가하였다.

벼잎집무늬마름병균(RS: Rhizoctonia solani) 및 고추역병균 (PC: Phytophtora capsici)에 대한 N-phenyl-O-phenylthionocarbamate 유도체 중, N-phenyl 치환체(X)들의 살균활성에 관한 비교분자 유사성 지수분석(CoMSIA) 모델을 유도하고 기질분자와 ${\beta}-tubulin$ 사이의 수소결합성을 정량적으로 검토하였다. CoMSIA 모델들의 기여도로부터 두 균주에 대한 살균활성은 공통적으로 수소결합 받게장이 가장 크게 기여하였다. 두 균주 사이의 살균활성에 있어서 선택성은 N-phenyl 고리상 para- 및 meta-치환기로서, RS에서는 수소결합 주게가 아닌 작용기를 그리고 PC에서는 수소결합 받게가 아닌 작용기들의 역할에 기인하는 것으로 예측된다. 또한, RS에서는 meta-위치에 입체적으로 작고 음하전을 선호하는 치환기(X)가 그리고 PC에서는 para-위치에 수소결합 받게가 도입된다면 두 균주에 대한 살균 활성이 증가 할 것이다.

The effects of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) on salivary glands have been recognized since 1982. The presence of purinergic recepetors(P2Rs) that mediate the effects of ATP in various tissues, including parotid and submandibular salivary gland, has been supported by the cloning of receptor cDNAs and the expression of the receptor proteins. P2Rs have many subtypes, and the activation of these receptor subtypes increase intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, a key ion in the regulation of the secretion in the salivary gland. The apical pores of taste buds in circumvallate and foliate papillae are surrounded by the saliva from von Ebner salivary gland(vEG). Thus, it is important how the secretion of vEG is controlled. This study was designed to elucidate the roles of P2Rs on salivary secretion of vEG. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (about 200 g) were used for this experiment. vEG-rich tissues were obtained from dissecting $500-1,000\;{\mu}m$ thick posterior tongue slices under stereomicroscope view. P2Rs mRNA in vEG acinar cells were identified with RT-PCR. To observe the change in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ activity, we employed $Ca^{2+}-ion$ specific fluorescence analysis with fura-2. Single acinar cells and cell clusters were isolated by a sequential trypsin/collagenase treatment and were loaded with $10\;{\mu}M$ fura -2 AM for 60 minutes at room temperature. Several agonists and antagonists were used to test a receptor specificity. RT-PCR revealed that the mRNAs of $P2X_4$, $P2Y_1$, $P2Y_2$ and $P2Y_3$ are expressed in vEG acinar cells. The intracellular calcium activity was increased in response to $10\;{\mu}M$ ATP, a P2Rs agonist, and 2-MeSATP, a $P2Y_1$ and $P2Y_2R$ agonist. However, $300\;{\mu}M\;{\alpha}{\beta}-MeATP$, a $P2X_1$ and $P2X_3R$ agonist, did not elicit the response. The responses elicited by $10\;{\mu}M$ ATP and UTP, a $P2Y_2R$ agonists, were maintained when extracellular calcium was removed. $10\;{\mu}M$ suramin, a P2XR antagonist, and reactive blue 2, a P2YR antagonist, partially blocked ATP-induced response. However, when extracellular calciums were removed, suramin did not abolish the responses elicited by ATP. These results suggest that P2Rs play an important role in salivary secretion of vEG acinar cells and the effects of ATP on vEG salivary secretion may be mediated by $P2X_4$, $P2Y_1$, $P2Y_2$, and/or $P2Y_3$.
