In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effect of extract from Monascus pillosus, on the human wild-type p53 and p21 expressing A549 lung epithelial cell line and MCF-7 mammary adenocarcinoma cell line stimulated by NO. $P21^{waf/cip1}$ was identified as a gene induced in senescent cells. It is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and has been shown to cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. While p53-regulated stimulation of p21 appears to be central for the permanent growth-arrest, the role of p21 in p53-triggered cell death is unclear. Low dose of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) induced the development of senescence associated with increased expression of p53 and p21 in A549 cells. Inhibition of p21 transactivating activity requires high level correlates with the amount of p53 necessary to cause cell death. Association of p21 and p53 results in inhibition of p21-stimulated transcription. This requires a higher p53 level than is necessary for transcriptional activation of endogenous p53-responsive gene but correlates well with the level of p53 necessary to cause cell death. Exposure to W-1 inhibited oxidative stresses-induced senescence-like arrest, resulting in a significant reduction in p53 and p21 steady state levels. These results suggest that p53 and p21 play a central role in the onset of senescence. Thus, it is important to emphasize control of oxidative balance in tumor prevention and aging.

악성도가 높은 점액표피양 암종은 치료가 어렵고 5년 생존률이 매우 낮다. 따라서, 새로운 치료 물질과 분자표적을 찾는 것이 필요하다. Betulinic acid (BA)는 세계적으로 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 물질인 동시에 여러 종류의 종양에서 항암효과를 보인다. 또한 여러 정상 조직은 BA에 저항성을 보인다. 이 연구에서는 BA의 증식억제 효능과 MC-3 세포주에서의 분자 표적을 확인하고자 하였다. BA는 MC-3 세포주에서 세포 생존을 저해하였고 세포사멸을 유도하였다. BA는 Sp 1과 그의 하향 분자 표적인 survivin에 영향을 주었으나, 다른 하향 분자 표적인 Mcl-1에서는 유의한 변화를 일으키지 못하였다. 따라서, BA는 Sp1과 survivin을 조절하여 세포사멸을 일으키는 잠재적인 항암제 후보가 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

In order to survey the prevalence of intestinal parasites in dogs, 304 fecal samples were taken from dogs in Taejon city, The prevalence and identification of intestinal parasites were determined by the fecal examinations using sheather's floating technique and sedimentation methods and then Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified by kinyoun's modified acid fast stainning method. The results were obtained as follows ; 1. Parasite eggs and oocysts were detected in 105 samples (34.5%) from 304 cases of dog feces. 2. The 11 kinds of eggs and oocysts were isolated from the feces of dog. Those were Ancylostoma caninum (12.1%, 37 dogs), Trichuris vulpis (11.5%, 35 dogs), Toxocara canis (10.2%, 31 dogs), Isospora sp (7.2%, 22 dogs), Cryptosporidium sp (3.6%, 11 dogs), Toxascaris leonine (1.9%, 6 dogs), Strongyloides sp (1.9%, 6 dogs), Taenia sp (0.6%, 2 dogs), Diphylidium caninum (0.3%, 1 dog), Spirometra sp (0.3%, 1 dog) and Clonorchis sinensis (0.3%, 1 dog). 3. It was mixed infection such as single, double, triple and quadruple, 64.8%, 25.7%, 8.6% and 0.9%, respectively. 4. In indiviually-raised 4095, the infectious late of T canis (11.4%), A Caninum(13.2%), Cryptosporidium sp (6.1%), T leontna (2.6%) were higher than those of group raised dogs. But the infectious rate of T vulpis (12.1%) in group raised dogs was higher than that of individually-raised dogs. 5. Adults of Demodex and Sarcoptes which have been found in this survey are excluded in this report.

Background: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of feeding trace mineralsfortified mixed microbial culture (TMC) on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility, blood electrolyte status, nitrogen balance, and trace mineral balance in sheep. Methods: Mixed microbes [0.6 % (v/w) of Enterobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp., and Saccharomyces sp.] were cultured with 99 % feedstuffs and 0.4 % trace minerals including zinc and copper for ensiling. Six sheep (a mean body weight of $46.5{\pm}1.2kg$) were fed two diets: a control diet (concentrate mix and rye straw) and an experimental diet (a control diet + 3.1 % TMC). Results: TMC feeding did not induce negative effects on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility, blood electrolytes, and nitrogen balance in sheep. Feeding with TMC increased the intake of trace minerals (p < 0.05) and did not affect absorption of trace minerals in the whole digestive tract. Feeding with TMC increased fecal excretion and absorbable intake, and retention of zinc and copper (p < 0.05) by 71 % and 77 %, respectively. Conclusion: Feeding with TMC resulted in higher zinc and copper bioavailability and retention without any adverse effects on sheep performance.

The genus Martensia (Delesseriaceae, Rhodophyta) is characterized by thalli composed of one to several blades that consist of proximal membranous sections and distal latticework. Nerves or veins are absent in the membranous sections. The life cycle of Martensia is accomplished by isomorphic alternation of generations. The gametophytes of Martensia are dioecious, and the male and female gametangial plants are morphologically similar. The type species of Martensia is M. elegans Hering. In this study, nine species were confirmed to occur in the subtidal regions of Jeju Island, Korea: M. albida sp. nov., M. australis Harvey, M. bibarii Y. Lee, M. elegans Hering, M. flammifolia sp. nov, M. fragilis Harvey, M. jejuensis Y. Lee, M. palmata Y. Lee, and M. projecta Y. Lee. Three of these, M. australis, M. fragilis, and M. elegans, are new records in the flora of Korea. The results of molecular analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 region in the nrDNA showed that M. elegans is identical to M. australis, and M. fragilis coincides with M. bibarii. It may be a less effective tool for the species discrimination in Martensia.

Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum cause yield losses in numerous economically important crops. To develop a bio-control agent, cell free extracellular compounds (ECs) of 5 bacterial strains Burkholdria sp. L1, Pseudomonas sp. L4, Pseudomonas chlororaphis VN391, Bacillus subtilis VN21 and Enterobacter sp. VN99 from Vietnamese fields, which reduced levels of R. solani root rot in lettuces and F. oxysporum root rot in tomatoes, were investigated. In a growth chamber, ECs of all antagonists markedly enhanced the biomass of lettuces (10 to 14.1%) and tomatoes (11.38 to 13.88%). In greenhouses, the disease's severity on both crops treated with ECs of the antagonists was reduced significantly and biomass losses in the plants decreased markedly. The reduction level of R. solani root rot in lettuces was 75, 66.7, 50, and 16.7% by ECs of strains L1, L4, VN21 and VN391, respectively. The biomass of lettuces increased markedly by 29.13%, 21.67%, and 23.4% by ECs of strains L1, L4 and VN21, respectively. Similarly, the reduction levels of F. oxysporum root rot in tomatoes was 76.3, 75, 41.7 and 25% by ECs of strain L1, L4, VN21 and VN391, respectively, and the biomass was significantly enhanced by 14.42, 12.7 and 13%, respectively. The ECs of strain L1 exhibited the most effective bio-control agents to suppress R. solani and F. oxysporum.

수소 생산 균주 ES392sms 부산 소재 동의대학교에 위치한 연못 담수에서 분리하였다. 세포는 직경 $0.6\;{\mu}m$, 길이 $1.4\;{\mu}m$의 간균이고 편모와 포자를 형성하지 않았다. 분리된 균주의 16s rRNA 염기서열과 생화학적 특성을 바탕으로 계통학적으로 분류한 결과, ES392 균주는 Enterobacter sp.에 속하는 것으로 동정되었다. 수소생산을 위한 생육최적 pH와 온도는 각각 7.5와 $35^{\circ}C$이었다. 분리한 Enterobacter sp. ES392 균주의 수소생산을 최대화 하기 위해 배지성분을 최적화하였다. 그 결과 4%(w/v) sucrose, 0.5%(w/v) yeast extract, 50 mM potassium phosphate를 첨가한 배지 조건에서 최대수소생산량을 나타내었다. 회분식 배양 조건에서 최대 수소 생산량은 3481 mL/L이었고, 수소생산수율은 1.33mol/mol sucrose를 나타내었다.

찰옥수수 유기종자의 안전한 생산을 위해서는 효과적인 병해충 제어가 필수적이므로 2개의 찰옥수수 품종(미백2호, 흑미찰)을 대상으로 2008~2009년에 병해충 발생 양상을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 2008년 유기농 찰옥수수 종자 생산지의 우점 비산포자는 Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp., Pyricularia sp., Collectotrichum sp., Helminthosporium sp., Bipolaris sp. 등이었고, Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp. 및 Helminthosporium sp.은 전 생육기간에 관찰되었다. 종자 및 유묘에 나타나는 병해충 발생 양상은 종자가 발아하지 않고 썩는 경우와 유묘가 시들어 심하면 고사하는 증상을 보였으며, 거세미나방에 의해 땅가 부위가 잘려진 증상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 종자 및 유묘의 발병주율은 14~16% 미만이었다. 옥수수재배포장에서 가장 큰 피해를 주는 조명나방의 발생밀도 발생밀도는 품종간에는 차이가 없었으며 2008년은 트랩당 3.5~20.5마리였고 2009년은 트랩당 0.5~6마리로 낮게 나타났다. 피해주율은 2008년은 7.5~21%이었으며, 2009년은 1~46%로 수확기까지 지속적으로 그 피해가 증가하였다. 잎마름병의 발병주율은 2008년도에 7~34%였으나 품종간의 차이는 보이지 않았고 2009년도는 6월 18일 처음 발생하였고, 8월 21일 이후 급격히 증가하여(59%) 9월 25일에는 미흑찰(69%)이 미백2호(56%)보다 다소 높게 나타났다. 깜부기병의 발병주율은 2008년도에 5~15%였으며, 2009년에는 7월 17일 처음 발생하여 2008년에 비해 17일 정도 늦게 발생하였으며 발병주율도 8% 미만(9월 25일)으로 2008년에 비해 아주 낮게 나타났다. 깨씨무늬병의 발생주율은 2008년도에 발생 초기에는 평균 11%(미흑찰)이었다가 9월 19일 조사 때는 두 품종 모두 62%로 높게 나타났다. 2009년도 처음 발생 시기는 6월 8일 이후로 2008년에 비해 20일정도 일찍 발생하였으며 9월 25일까지 지속적으로 발병하여 약 86%까지 달하였으며 2008년에 비해 24% 이상 높게 나타났다.
