  • This study examined the incidence of disease and blood biochemical values in 68 Holstein cattle during the a month period after parturition. In order to compare the blood biochemical values, the animals were divided into 2 groups of prepartum and 4 groups of postpartum according to the blood collecting day, respectively. The results compared postpartum with prepartum were obtained as follows : the incidences of displacement of abomasum, culled and retained placenta were 11.8%. 13.2% and 8.8%, respectively. In the normal group(pre and post parturition group), NEFA and bilirubin were increased. Triglyceride and cholesterol were significantly lower than In the pre-parturition group, and total lipid was decreased. In the disease group, displacement of abomasum was significantly higher than in the normal group in the levels of NEFA, triglyceride and bilirubin. Culled was significantly higher than in the normal group in the levels of NEFA, AST and bilirubin. but lower than in the normal group in the levels of triglyceride and cholesterol. Retained placenta was significantly higher than in the normal group in the levels of NEFA and bilirubin, but lower than in the normal group in the levels of triglyceride.

  • A Caulobacter crescentus epoxide hydrolase(CCEH) from a recombinant Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity using a three-step procedure. The CCEH protein was purified 7.3-fold with a 22.9% yield in overalll activity. The optimal reaction temperature and pH were determined to be $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The addition of 10%(v/v) dimethylsulfoxide as a cosolvent improved the enantioselectivity of CCEH for a batch kinetic resolution of racemic indene oxide.

  • The polygalacturonase (PG) production in rotten apples by Botryosphaeria dothidea was purified by using gel filtration and ion exchange column chromatography, and the biochemical characters of PG were investigated. The purified PG appeared as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with approximate molecular weight of 49 kilodalton (kDa). The molecular weight was equal to the native molecular weight estimated by gel filtration. The Km and Vmax values of PG were 0.51 mg/ml and 90.9 $\mu$M/min/ml, respectively. Optimum pH was 4.0~5.0, and the PG activity was stable from pH 5.0~10.0. Optimum temperature of the enzyme activity was 4$0^{\circ}C$. The PG activity was relatively stable at 2$0^{\circ}C$, but it was reduced 45% at 4$0^{\circ}C$ and completely inactivated at 8$0^{\circ}C$. The PG activity was considerably inhibited by Cu2+, Zn2+, SDS and EDTA, whereas it was not effected by Ca2+, K+, Mg2+ or Na+ ions.

  • A retrospective study of 132 cases of natural Escherichia coli infection in preweaning piglets with diarrhea submitted to the Department of Veterinary Pathology in Seoul National University from 1995 to 1996 was performed to determine the biochemical characteristics and antibiotics susceptibility. Most field isolates were lysine decarboxylase-positive (99.2%), phenylalanine decarboxylase-negative (100%), and fermented sorbitol (91.7%). Antibiotic susceptibilities will be determined by agar diffusion method. A large percentage of isolates were resistant to many antibiotics in common usage. Most isolates were susceptible to colistin (98.8%), gentamycin (64.3%), amikacin (100%), and ceftiour sodium (64.2%), whereas most isolates were notably resistant to ampicillin (86.9%), neomycin (66.7%), streptomycin (84.5%), tetracycline (98.8%), penicillin (98.8%), and amoxacillin (58.3%).

  • Unnatural amino acid S-(2-nitrobenzyl)cysteine was incorporated into human erythropoietin by using a programmed suppression of nonsense codon in a cell-free protein synthesis system. Several controlling factors affecting the operational efficiency of the suppression were investigated and optimized. The amount of suppressor tRNA and the concentration of $Mg^2+$ were crucial not only for the efficiency but also for the control of the exact suppression. In addition, some general optimization factor are reported in order to improve the efficiency in an unnatural amino acid mutagenesis.

  • The late-stage doxorubicin biosynthesis pathway acting enzyme (DoxA) from Streptomyces peucetius CYP129A2 exhibited substrate promiscuity towards the stilbene group of compounds such as resveratrol. DoxA along with two accessory enzymes ferrdoxin reductase and ferredoxin from spinach hydroxylated resveratrol at the 3'-position in vitro to produce piceatannol. The product was identified by HPLC-PDA and high-resolution HR-qTOF-ESI/MS analyses in positive mode. The ESI/MS fragments resembled the hydroxylated product of resveratrol.

  • The present study was carried out to find the possible protective effects of Angelica koreana water extract on biochemical parameters in benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P)-induced liver injury in rats. B(a)P treatment (0.1 mg/kg, 1.p.) caused a liver damages, which led to biochemical alterations in serum and liver enzyme activities and serum lipid levels. The activities of liver marker enzymes, especially, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were markedly changed in B(a)P treatment. Oral administration of Angelica koreana (50 mg/kg) recovered these biochemical Parameters to near normal levels. Therefore, the present results have revealed that Angelica koreana water extract might have the antihepatotoxic effect and consequently ameliorate liver damage associated with B(a)P in rats.

  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing is driving major innovation in various areas including engineering, manufacturing, art, education and biosciences such as biochemical engineering, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Recent advances have enabled 3D printing of biocompatible materials, cells and supporting components into complex 3D functional tissues. Compared with non-biological printing, 3D bioprinting involves additional complexities which require the integration of technologies from the fields of biochemical engineering, biomaterial sciences, cell biology, physics, pharmaceutics and medical science.
