생쥐에 1 Gray(Gy)와 3 Gy의 방사선을 조사한 후 시간에 따라 골격근, 심장, 신장, 간 및 정소조직의 형태적 변화를 확인하였다. H-B(hematoxylin-eosin)염색 결과 apoptotic body는 다른 조직에 비해 간조직에서 쉽게 관찰되었고, 조사량에 비례하였으며 대부분의 조직에서 조사 후 1일에, 정소조직에서는 7일에 많이 관찰되었다. TUNEL (terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling)염색에 의한 결과도 동일하게 나타났다. 방사선 조사 후 단백질량은 신장을 제외한 나머지 조직에서 감소되었으며, 3 Gy를 조사한 경우 1 Gy보다 모든 조직에서 초기 2시간까지 감소되었으나 7일에는 모두 증가되었다. 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, Lactate dehydrogenase: LDH) 활성은 모든 조직에서 증가되었고 1 Gy를 조사한 경우 초기에 더욱 증가되었으며 최고 활성은 3 Gy보다 빠른 시기에 나타났다. 골격근, 심장, 신장 및 정소조직은 일반적으로 $A_4$동위효소 활성이 감소되고 골격근과 심장은 $B_4$와 $A_2$$B_2$동위효소 활성이 증가되었으며 신장은 이질사량체의 활성이 증가되었다. 간은 $A_4$ 동위효소 활성이 높았고 정소는 C동위효소의 활성이 높았다. 따라서 LDH는 방사선 조사시 간조직을 제외한 나머지 조직에서 lactate oxidase로서 작용하여 호기적 대사가 우세한 것으로 사료된다.

Insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is a member of the glucose transporter family and mainly presents in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. To clarify the molecular structure of porcine GLUT4, RACE was used to clone its cDNA. Several cDNA clones corresponding to different regions of GLUT4 were obtained by amplifying reverse-transcriptase products of total RNA extracted from Landrace porcine skeletal muscles. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cDNA clones revealed that porcine GLUT4 cDNA was composed of 2,491 base pairs with a coding region of 509 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence was over 90% identical to human, rabbit and cattle GLUT4. The tissue distribution of GLUT4 was also examined by Real-time RT-PCR. The mRNA expression abundance of GLUT4 was heart>liver, skeletal muscle and brain>lung, kidney and intestine. The developmental expression of GLUT4 and insulin receptor (IR) was also examined by Real-time RT-PCR using total RNA extracted from longissimus dorsi (LM), semimembranosus (SM), and semitendinosus (SD) muscle of Landrace at the age of 1, 7, 30, 60 and 90 d. It was shown that there was significant difference in the mRNA expression level of GLUT4 in skeletal muscles of Landrace at different ages (p<0.05). The mRNA expression level of IR also showed significant difference at different ages (p<0.05). The developmental change in the mRNA expression abundance of GLUT4 was similar to that in IR, and both showed a higher level at birth and 30 d than at other ages. However, there was no significant tissue difference in the mRNA expression of GLUT4 or IR (p>0.05). These results showed that the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA clones was highly identical with human, rabbit and cattle GLUT4 and the developmental change of GLUT4 mRNA in skeletal muscles was similar to that of IR, suggesting that porcine GLUT4 might be an insulin-responsive glucose transporter. Moreover, the tissue distribution of GLUT4 mRNA showed that GLUT4 might be an important nutritional transporter in porcine skeletal muscles.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of castration on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of goat kids. Fourteen Boer-cross buck and wether goat kids (n = 7; initial body weight (BW) $38.0{\pm}0.35\;kg$ and $34.8{\pm}0.35\;kg$, for bucks and wethers, respectively) were grazed on annual Marshall ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) for 56 days. Body weights were recorded after 4 h withdrawal from feed and water for two consecutive days, every 2 wk. After d 56, animals were harvested and hot carcass weight (HCW), cold carcass weight (CCW), dressing percent (DP), kidney and pelvic fat (KPF), longissimus muscle (LM) area, back fat (BF), and other carcass parameters were measured. Day 0 BW was used as a covariate for analyses. However, bucks were heavier than wethers at d 15 (p = 0.09), 42 (p = 0.001) and 56 (p = 0.001). Bucks had higher ADG (146 vs. 74 g/d; p = 0.001), HCW (21.2 vs. 18.8 kg; p = 0.06) and CCW (20.3 vs. 17.9 kg; p = 0.04) when compared with wether goats. Dressing percentage (51 vs. 47%; p = 0.06), KPF (0.44 vs. 0.16%; p = 0.02) and BF (0.41 vs. 0.21 cm; p = 0.05) were higher in wethers vs bucks, respectively; however, USDA live or carcass grades were similar. Longissimus muscle tissue from wethers and bucks were similar in darkness ($L^*$) and redness ($a^*$), but wethers had more (p = 0.02) yellow tint ($b^*$). Palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and oleic (C18:1) acids were higher (p = 0.001) in muscle tissue from wethers compared to bucks. The saturated fatty acid (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) contents of muscle tissue were lower (p = 0.001) for bucks with no difference in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Longissimus muscle initial temperature was higher in bucks (p<0.04) and pH change post-mortem was similar for bucks and wethers. These results indicated that castration of young market goats reduced growth performance and produced carcasses with more fat and higher SFA.

Background: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the potential to form teratomas when implanted into immunodeficient mice, but data in immunocompetent mice are limited. We therefore investigated teratoma formation after implantation of three different mouse ESC (mESC) lines into immunocompetent mice. Materials and Methods: BALB/c mice were injected with three highly germline competent mESCs (129Sv, BALB/c and C57BL/6) subcutaneously or under the kidney capsule. After 4 weeks, mice were euthanized and examined histologically for teratoma development. The incidence, size and composition of teratomas were compared using Pearson Chi-square, t-test for dependent variables, one-way analysis of variance and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance and median test. Results: Teratomas developed from all three cell lines. The incidence of formation was significantly higher under the kidney capsule compared to subcutaneous site and occurred in both allogeneic and syngeneic mice. Overall, the size of teratoma was largest with the 129Sv cell line and under the kidney capsule. Diverse embryonic stem cell-derived tissues, belonging to the three embryonic germ layers, were encountered, reflecting the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. Most commonly represented tissues were nervous tissue, keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium (ectoderm), smooth muscle, striated muscle, cartilage, bone (mesoderm), and glandular tissue in the form of gut- and respiratory-like epithelia (endoderm). Conclusions: ESCs can form teratomas in immunocompetent mice and, therefore, removal of undifferentiated ESC is a pre-requisite for a safe use of ESC in cell-based therapies. In addition the genetic relationship of the origin of the cell lines to the ability to transplant plays a major role.

붕어(Carassius carassius)에 미치는 동의 영향을 밝히기 위하여 다음과 같은 연구를 하였다. 1) 셀루로오스 아세테이트 전기영동법에 의한 젖산수소이탈효소 아이소자임 상, 2) 분광비색법에 의한 LDH활성과 LDH효소계에 대한 동의 영향, 3) 한천 박층 전기영동법에 의한 에스테라아제 아이소자임 상, 4) 전분 겔 전기영동법에 의한 혈색소 상, 및 5) 조직 학적 연구. 1. LDH 아이소자임 영동대는 정상 붕어의 아가미에 2개 (LDH-3 및 LDH-5), 간에 3개(LDH-2, LDH-4, 및 LDH-5), 그리고 근육에서 2개 (LDH-3 및 LDH-4) 나타났다. LDH-1은 이상의 세가지 조직에서 나타나지 않았다. 동을 처리한 붕어의 간에서는 LDH-3이 나타났고 근육에서는 LDH-5가 나타났다. 그러나 아가미에서는 새로운 영동대가 나타나지 않았다. 2. LDH활성은 정상 붕어의 아가미, 간, 및 근육 중 아가미에서 가장 낯았고 근육에서 가장 높았으며, 아가미를 제외한 간과 근육에서는 1일부터 10일간의 동처리에 따라 점차적으로 감소되었다. 3. 동을 처리한 붕어의 간과 근육의 LDH활성 감소는 주로 체내 M-LDH에 대한 동의 억제에 기인된다. 4. 정상 붕어의 아가미, 간, 근육, 혈액, 뇌, 및 신장의 에스테라아제 아이소자임 영동대 수는 각각 3,6,2,2,2 및 2개 였고 이들은 동을 처리한 경우에서도 같았다. 동처리군의 아가미, 간, 혈액 그리고 신장의 에스테라아제 영동대의 상대이동도는 대조군의 그것들과 상이하였다. 5. 정상 붕어의 혈색소 영동대는 양극에 1개 있었다. 동을 처리한 붕어의 혈색소 영동대의 이동도는 정상 붕어의 그 것보다 약간 빠른 것으로 보였다. 6. 동(20ppm)에 5일간 처리한 붕어의 조직학적 연구는 다음과 같았다. 1) 아가미에서는 처음에 표피층이 분리되었다가 분해된 후 완전히 파괴되었다. 2) 간에서는 많은 지방립이 나타났다. 3) 정상 붕어와 동에 처리된 붕어의 근육 사이에서는 조직학적 차이가 없었다. 4) 신장족직은 기부요세관에 손상을 받았다. 요세관세포의 높이가 작아진 후 요세관의 내강이 확대되었다. 많은 기부요세관이 분홍빛의 과립성 형태와 여러 단계의 변성을 나타내었다.

C-type lectins are crucial for pathogen recognition, innate immunity, and cell-cell interactions. In this study, a C-type lectin gene was cloned from the rock bream. The full-length RbCTL cDNA was 729 bp with a 429 bp ORF encoding a 164-residue protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of RbCTL had all of the conserved features crucial for its fundamental structure, including the four cysteine residues involved in sulfide bridge formation and potential $Ca^2+$/carbohydrate-binding sites. RbCTL contains a signal peptide one single carbohydrate recognition domain. It showed 29.4% similarity to the C-type lectin of rainbow trout. RbCTL mRNA was predominately expressed in gill and head-kidney tissue and expressed less in peripheral blood leukocytes, trunk-kidney, spleen, liver, intestine and muscle. Expression of RbCTL was differentially upregulated in rock bream stimulated with LPS, Con A/PMA and poly I:C.

The purpose of this study is to describe specific system manifestations and suggested nursing interventions in patients with lupus. Lupus is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystemic disorder of the immune system. Antibodies are formed which react against the person's own normal tissue. This abnormal response can be very damaging and leads to the many manifestations of the lupus. Lupus can affect any part of the body, and patients experience symptoms in organs involved. So lupus patients have integumentary, blood, central nervous system, eye, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, kidney, heart and lining membranes, reproductive system involvement. The courses are unpredictable and very individualized. Lupus varies greatly in severity from mild cases requiring minimal interventions to those in which significant damage occurs to vital organs such as the lungs, heart, kidney and brain which ultimately can be fatal. In addition to direct physical care, the nursing professional has an excellent position from which to support the lupus patient. Patients need assistance with receiving current, accurate information about the disease process and also to be helped in developing realistic expectations and goals. Nursing interventions for the patient with lupus is challenge drawing on at the resources, knowledge and strengths the nursing teams have to offer. Because of the unpredictable, highly individualized and frequently changing the nature of the disease itself as well as the intricacy of the patient's needs. The nurse has a key role in its management. The patient and nurse, working together, have much to offer each other. These are of inestimable value to the patient. As the nurse listens to the patient and learns what problems the patient perceives, can guide the patient in a self-help program that allows to adapt to living with a chronic illness.

This study estimated the effect of exposure to propiconazole through implementation and residues in finishing pigs. We analyzed the expression of fibrosis-related genes and performed histological analysis of the blood, liver, kidney, muscle, ileum, and fat tissues. The animals were exposed for 28 d to different concentrations of propiconazole (0.09, 0.44, 0.88, 4.41, and 8.82 mg/kg bw/d). Quantitative, gene expression, and histological analyses in tissues were performed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, real-time PCR, and Masson's trichrome staining, respectively. Final body weight did not differ among groups. However, genes involved in fibrosis were significantly differentially regulated in response to propiconazole concentrations. Glucose, alanine aminotransferase, and total bilirubin levels were significantly increased compared with those in the control group, while alkaline phosphatase level was decreased (p<0.05) after exposure to propiconazole. The residue limits of propiconazole were increased in the finishing phase at 4.41 and 8.82 mg/kg bw/d. The liver, kidney, and ileum showed blue staining after propiconazole treatment, confirmed by Masson's trichrome staining. In conclusion, these findings suggest that propiconazole exposure disturbs the expression of fibrosis-related genes. This study on dietary propiconazole in pigs can provide a basis for determining maximum residue limits and a better understanding of metabolism in pigs and meat products.

젖산탈수소효소(Lactate dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.27, LDH)의 기능을 확인하기 위해서 Ldh testis-specific C가 발현된 생쥐(Mus musculus)를 48 hr과 96 hr 기아상태로 유지시킨 후 조직들의 LDH 대사를 LDH 활성, 역학 및 동위효소를 분석하여 연구하였다. 골격근, 간 및 눈조직에서 LDH와 LDH $A_4$활성이 증가되어 혐기적 대사가 우세하였고, 심장과 신장조직의 LDH 활성은 감소되지만 LDH $B_4$ 활성이 증가되어 피루브산을 생성하는 호기적 대사가 우세하였다. 하지만 정소조직에서는 LDH $C_4$가 감소되었고, 뇌조직의 LDH 활성은 조직 중에서 가장 많이 증가되었지만 동위효소의 변화가 작고 피루브산의 양이 감소되었다. 신장조직을 제외한 조직들에서 $K{_m}^{PYR}$이 증가되어 피루브산에 대한 친화력이 감소된 것으로 확인되었다. 실험결과 Ldh-A, B가 발현된 조직에서는 상대 농도가 큰 동위효소의 활성이 증가되었으나 Ldh-A, B, C가 발현된 정소조직은 LDH $C_4$가 감소되어 기능이 저하되었으며 특히 뇌조직에서 LDH는 피루브산 환원효소로서 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이 과정은 기아상태에서 에너지를 생성하는 기작이 될 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.
