BACKGROUND: White stain symptom caused by Acremonium acutatum and Trichothecium roseum, is one of the most important diseases on the grape. This disease occurs national-wide in Korea and causes irreversible damage on grape, at harvest season. This study was conducted to develop environment-friendly control method against white stain symptom. METHODS AND RESULTS: Environment-friendly materials were tested for control activity against A. acutatum and T. roseum in vitro and in vivo. The effect of environment-friendly materials against white stain symptom on grape in farmer's greenhouse was examined. The materials, NaDCC and sulphur, were sprayed three times on the leaves and fruit of grape at the two sites of farmer's field, Anseong and Hwaseong of Gyeounggi. To evaluate control effect of NaDCC and sulphur against white stain symptom, the disease severity was investigated after the two materials were sprayed from the disease onset three times at the 7-day intervals. NaDCC showed efficacy of 59.71% for Kyoho and 72.26% for Campbell-Early, and sulphur showed 78.31% for Koyho and 66.19% for Campbell-Early. CONCLUSION: We were selected sulphur and Sodium-Dichloroisocyannurate(NaDCC) based on the results of experiments in vitro. In field test, sulphur and NaDCC showed suppressive effect in the white stain symptom of grape. These results suggested that NaDCC and sulphur selected can be used as control agents for controlling white stain symptom on grape.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate histologic changes in the alveolar bone of the lower molar region subsequent to the loss of their opposite molars, and to characterize chemical alterations by utilization of histochemical procedures. Twenty five rats(Sprague Dawley), approximately 150-200gm body weight, were used in this experiment. In the treated animals, upper molars were removed. The animals were decapitated by groups at the following intervals after teeth removals: 10th, 20th, 50th, 70th and 100th day. The normal, untreated rats were used as controls. The molar region of lower jaw, including the intact alvelar bone and teeth was dissected and specimens were decalcified in 3% formic acid. After the tissues were fully decalcified, the specimens were embedded in celloidin and sectioned in mesiodistal plane. These sections were stained in the following staining methods. Mallory azan stain and hematoxylin-eosin stain were utilized for structural evaluation. Polysaccharides were demonstrated by means of the PAS reaction. Acidmucopolysaccharides were studied by means of the colloidal iron stain. Alloxan-Schiff reaction was used for protein. The results were as follows: 1) In the control animals, bone resorption was noted in the distal alveolar bone proper and bone apposition was shown in the mesial alveolar bone proper. But in the treated animals, bone apposition was observed on the mesial and distal walls of the alveolus and osteoclastic activity was not noted in any walls. 2) Bone apposition was most prominent from the 10th to 20th day after treatment. 3) Appositional growth of cementum along the surface of root was prominent from the 50th to 70th day after treatment. 4) In the area where osteoblastic activity was apparent, osteoblasts were stained strongly in the PAS and alloxan-Schiff reaction. A plastic resorption line showed strong alloxan-Schiff reaction. 5) In the colloidal iron stain, the alveolar wall adjacent to the cementum apposition area was stained more strongly than the other areas.

Chicken calvarial bone is known to contain various cell types, but their exact composition is unknown. By characterizing the chicken calvarial bone biochemically, it can be used to study biochemical, histochemical actions of bone cells in general. Calvaria of 18-day-old white leg horn embryo was aseptically dissected and bone cell populations were isolated by sequential enzymatic digestion. Histochemical study for osteoclast-like bone cell. population was performed with tartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) stain and for osteoblast-like bone cell population, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) stain was performed. Biochemical study for osteoblast-like bone cell population was performed using alkaline phosphatase(ALP) assay. Following conclusions were obtained from this study. 1. TRAP positive multi and mononuclear cells were mostly observed in group I and II, indicating that osteoclast-like bone cell population is mostly found in these groups. 2. All the cultured groups showed almost equal ALP activities and were positive for ALP stain, indicating that osteoblast-like bone cell population is evenly dispersed in all culture groups. 3. Experimental group treated with $1,25(OH)_{2}D_3$ showed increase in ALP activity in contrast to the control group, confirming previous studies that $1,25(OH)_{2}D_3$ increases ALP activities in in vitro bone cultures. 4. Results from von Kossa's stain indicated that in vitro bone formation had occured after 3 weeks of culture with beta-glycero phosphate.

Pink Rot on melon and White Stain Symptom on grape are caused by Trichothecium roseum, one of the most important diseases of grape and melon. These diseases have been occurred in national-wide in Korea and causes irreversible damage on the grape and the melon at harvest season. This research presents the evaluation of the capacity of Bacillus subtillis HK2 to protect both melon and grape against T. reseum and establishes its role as a biocontrol agent. In this study, we isolated a Bacillus strain HK2 from rhizosphere soil, identified it as Bacillus subtillis by 16S rRNA analysis and demonstrated its antifungal activity against T. roseum. Under I-plate assay it was observed that the effect of hyphal growth inhibition was not due to production of volatile compounds. The optimum culture condition of HK2 was found at 30℃ and initial pH of 7.0. Application of HK2 culture suspension reduced 90.2% of white stain symptom on grape as compared to control, resulting in greater protection to grape against T. roseum infestation. Butanol extract of HK2 culture purified using flash column chromatography. The antifungal material was a polar substance as it showed antifungal activity in polar elute. Therefore, our results indicated a clear potential of B. subtilis HK2 to be used for biocontrol of Pink rot in melon and white stain symptom on grape caused by T. roseum.

In the present study, we have evaluated cytotoxic effects, antitumor activities and metastasis inhibitory effects of Palsun brewing water in NIH 3T3 cells, human epitheloid carcinoma cells, and human skin melanoma cells. The light microscopic study showed morphological changes, AG-NOR (argyrophylic nucleolar organizer region) by silver chloride stain, and glycoprotein by PAS (periodic acid stain) reaction of the treated cells. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by colorimetric methods; MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide) and SRB (sulforhodamine B protein) assays. These results suggest that Palsun Brewing Water retains no cytotoxic effects in NIH 3T3 cells and a growth-inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines.

Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of Woohwangcheongsim-won and to study the mechanism for neuronal death protection in hypoxia with Embryonic day 20 (E20) cortical cells of a rat (Sprague Dawley). Methods: E20 cortical cells were dissociated in neurobasal media and grown for 14 days in vitro (DIV). On 14 DIV, Woohwangcheongsim-won was added to the culture media for 24 hrs or 72 hrs. On 17 DIV, cells were given a hypoxic shock and further incubated in normoxia for another three days. On 20 DIV, Woohwangcheongsim-won's effects for neuronal death protection were evaluated by LDH assay, propidium iodide stain and phospho-H2AX immunostain and the mechanisms were studied by Bcl-2, Bak, Bax, caspase family, PKCα, ca1pain I. Results & Conclusions : 1. This study indicated that Woohwangcheongsim-won's effects for neuronal death protection in hypoxia were confirmed by LDH assay, propidium iodide stain and phospho-H2AX immunostain in culture method of Embryonic day 20(E20) cortical neuroblasts. 2. Woohwangcheongsim-won's mechanisms for neuronal death protection in hypoxia are to reduce the membrane damage fraction, to restrain DNA truncate, to restrain inflow of cytochrome c into cellularity caused by Bak diminution, to reduce the caspase cascade intiator caspase-8 and the effector caspase-3, to reduce the calpain I activity and to increase PKCand its activity in the membrane fraction.
