야생 코리언 레스페데자의 조사료원으로서의 활용가치를 구명하고자, 숙기별 건물수량, 화학적 성분과 재래산양 12두를 공시하여, 혼합목초(GS) 100% 급여구, GS 80% + Wild Korean lespedeza(LA) 20% 급여구 및 GS 60% + LA 40% 급여구 등의 3처리를 두어 섭취량, 건물소화율 및 질소와 에너지이용성 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 코리언 레스페데자의 평균 건물수량은 7,336kg/ha이었으며, 생육이 진행됨에 따른 건물수량은 현저히 증가되는 양상을 보였다(P<0.05). CP 함량은 생육이 진행됨에 따라 현저히 감소된 반면에 섬유소 물질의 함량은 급격히 증가되는 양상을 보였다(P<0.05). 탄닌 함량은 화아생장기(54.5mg/g)에 가장 높았으나, 생육이 진행됨에 따라 감소되는 양상을 보여 종자성숙기에는 26.8mg/g으로 낮아졌다(P<0.05) 건물섭취량은 GS에 LA의 급여비율이 높아질수록 증가되었으나 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 건물, 세포내용물 및 NDF 소화율은 GS 100% 급여구에 비하여 LA 20% 및 40% 혼합구에서 모두 높은 결과를 보였다(P<0.05). 가소화질소 축적율은 처리간에 차이가 없었으나, 대사질소 축적율과 생물가는 GS 100% 급여구에 비하여 GS 60% + LA 40% 급여구에서 높았다(P<0.05). 가소화 및 대사에너지의 이용율은 처리간에 차이가 없었던 것으로 보아 에너지이용성에 미치는 코리언 레스페테자의 영향은 적었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 야생 코리언 레스페데자의 건물수량, 건물소화율 및 질소 이용성을 고려할 때, 부존 조사료원으로 이용가치는 충분하다고 사료된다.

In order to investigate experimentally the effects of Sung-yangikgibujat'ang (SIT) and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang (KBT) on Yang-insufficient syndrome (陽虛證) induced by Hydrocortisone acetate (H.A.) in experimental animals (Mice and Rat), the author experimented various activities. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), Rosette forming cells (RFC), hemagglutinin (HA) titers, Hemolysin (HL) titers, Body weight, Whole blood viscosity, Plasma Viscosity, Hematocrit, RBC, Albumin, Total protein, Triglyceride, cholesterol and Glucose were measured. The results summerized as follows; 1. In DTH and RFC all the experimental groups were increased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 2. In HA titers SIT_treated group were increased significantly and KBT-treated group showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 3. In HL titers all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 4. In body weight all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 6. In plasma viscosity KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 7. In Hematocrit SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 8. In RBC, albumin and cholesterol all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 9. In total protein and triglyceride KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 10. In Glucose SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. From above findings, it has been demonstrated that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang seem to produce the effectiveness on the recovery from depression of the cell-mediated immune response, blood circulation and energy metabolic rate, induced by Hydrocortisone acetate, and in the humoral immune response Sungyangikgibujat'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery, and in cellular component of blood Sungyangikgibujat'ang was more effective than Kwangyebujalijungt' ang, and in plasma of blood Kwangyebujalijungt'ang was more effective than Sungyangikgibujat'ang. Therefore it is suggested that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery from Yang-insufficient syndrome more or less.

To generate a biobetter that has improved therapeutic activity, we constructed scFv libraries via random mutagenesis of several residues of CDR-H3 and -L3 of hu4D5. The scFv clones were isolated from the phage display libraries by stringent panning, and their antiproliferative activity against HER2-positive cancer cells was evaluated as a primary selection criterion. Consequently, we selected AH06 as a biobetter antibody that had a 7.2-fold increase in anti-proliferative activity ($IC_{50}$: 0.81 nM) against the gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87 and a 7.4-fold increase in binding affinity ($K_D$: 60 pM) to HER2 compared to hu4D5. The binding energy calculation and molecular modeling suggest that the substitution of residues of CDR-H3 to W98, F100c, A101 and L102 could stabilize binding of the antibody to HER2 and there could be direct hydrophobic interactions between the aromatic ring of W98 and the aliphatic group of I613 within HER2 domain IV as well as the heavy and light chain hydrophobic interactions by residues F100c, A101 and L102 of CDR-H3. Therefore, we speculate that two such interactions were exerted by the residues W98 and F100c. A101 and L102 may have a synergistic effect on the increase in the binding affinity to HER2. AH06 specifically binds to domain IV of HER2, and it decreased the phosphorylation level of HER2 and AKT. Above all, it highly increased the overall level of p27 compared to hu4D5 in the gastric cancer cell line NCIN82, suggesting that AH06 could potentially be a more efficient therapeutic agent than hu4D5.

In view of the growing industrial use of Bacterial cellulose (BC), and taking into account that it might become airborne and be inhaled after industrial processing, assessing its potential pulmonary toxic effects assumes high relevance. In this work, the murine model was used to assess the effects of exposure to respirable BC nanofibrils (nBC), obtained by disintegration of BC produced by Komagataeibacter hansenii. Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages ($BMM{\Phi}$) were treated with different doses of nBC (0.02 and 0.2 mg/mL, respectively 1 and $10{\mu}g$ of fibrils) in absence or presence of 0.2% Carboxymethyl Cellulose (nBCMC). Furthermore, mice were instilled intratracheally with nBC or nBCMC at different concentrations and at different time-points and analyzed up to 6 months after treatments. Microcrystaline $Avicel-plus^{(R)}$ CM 2159, a plant-derived cellulose, was used for comparison. Markers of cellular damage (lactate dehydrogenase release and total protein) and oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxidase, reduced glutathione, lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase activity) as well presence of inflammatory cells were evaluated in brochoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids. Histological analysis of lungs, heart and liver tissues was also performed. BAL analysis showed that exposure to nBCMC or CMC did not induce major alterations in the assessed markers of cell damage, oxidative stress or inflammatory cell numbers in BAL fluid over time, even following cumulative treatments. $Avicel-plus^{(R)}$ CM 2159 significantly increased LDH release, detected 3 months after 4 weekly administrations. However, histological results revealed a chronic inflammatory response and tissue alterations, being hypertrophy of pulmonary arteries (observed 3 months after nBCMC treatment) of particular concern. These histological alterations remained after 6 months in animals treated with nBC, possibly due to foreign body reaction and the organism's inability to remove the fibers. Overall, despite being a safe and biocompatible biomaterial, BC-derived nanofibrils inhalation may lead to lung pathology and pose significant health risks.

Objective: The aims of this study were to reveal the magnitude of the differences in protein structures at a cellular level as well as protein utilization and availability among soybean meal (SBM), canola meal (CM), and rapeseed meal (RSM) as feedstocks in China. Methods: Experiments were designed to compare the three different types of feedstocks in terms of: i) protein chemical profiles; ii) protein fractions partitioned according to Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System; iii) protein molecular structures and protein second structures; iv) special protein compounds-amino acid (AA); v) total digestible protein and energy values; vi) in situ rumen protein degradability and intestinal digestibility. The protein second structures were measured using FT/IR molecular spectroscopy technique. A summary chemical approach in National Research Council (NRC) model was applied to analyze truly digestible protein. Results: The results showed significant differences in both protein nutritional profiles and protein structure parameters in terms of ${\alpha}-helix$, ${\beta}-sheet$ spectral intensity and their ratio, and amide I, amide II spectral intensity and their ratio among SBM, CM, and RSM. SBM had higher crude protein (CP) and AA content than CM and RSM. For dry matter (DM), SBM, and CM had a higher DM content compared with RSM (p<0.05), whereas no statistical significance was found between SBM and CM (p = 0.28). Effective degradability of CP and DM did not demonstrate significant differences among the three groups (p>0.05). Intestinal digestibility of rumen undegradable protein measured by three-step in vitro method showed that there was significant difference (p = 0.05) among SBM, CM, and RSM, which SBM was the highest and RSM was the lowest with CM in between. NRC modeling results showed that digestible CP content in SBM was significantly higher than that of CM and RSM (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study suggested that SBM and CM contained similar protein value and availability for dairy cattle, while RSM had the lowest protein quality and utilization.

미토콘드리아는 세포안에서 에너지 공급, 칼슘 이온 저장, 활성산소 생성, 세포 자살과 같은 다양한 기능을 수행한다. 이러한 기능을 통해, 미토콘드리아는 줄기세포의 유지, 증식, 그리고 분화에 관여한다. 뇌에서 뇌실 하 영역(subventricular zone, SVZ)에는 일평생 새로운 신경세포를 생성하는 신경줄기세포(neural stem cell, NSC)가 존재한다. 하지만, SVZ NSCs에서 미토콘드리아의 역할에 대한 연구는 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 이번 연구에서 우리는 미토콘드리아의 complex I 저해제인 rotenone이 SVZ NSCs의 증식과 분화를 다른 방식으로 방해한다는 것을 보여주었다. 증식 중인 신경줄기세포에서, rotenone은 세포분열을 감소시켰는데, 이때 세포분열은 히스톤 H3에 인산기가 붙어있는 지를 측정하여 확인하였다. Rotenone을 50 nM 농도로 증식 중인 신경줄기세포에 처리했을 때, 세포사멸은 발생하지 않았다. 한편, 분화 중인 신경줄기세포에 rotenone을 처리한 경우, 신경세포와 희소 돌기아교 세포(oligodendrocyte)으로의 분화가 억제되었고, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)를 발현하는 성상세포(astrocyte)에는 영향이 없었다. 흥미롭게도, 4-6일 동안의 분화 과정 동안 rotenone이 처리된 신경줄기세포에서 대조군 보다 더 많은 세포 수가 관찰 되었는데, 이는 증식 과정 중의 rotenone의 효과와 다른 것이다. 이에, 우리는 rotenone이 세포 자살은 감소시켰으나, 세포 분열에는 영향을 끼치지 않았음을 관찰하였다. 세포 자살의 경우는 cleaved caspase-3를 측정함으로써 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 SVZ 신경줄기세포의 증식과 분화 모두에 제대로 작동하는 미토콘드리아가 있어야 함을 제안하고 있다. 게다가, 이러한 과정에서 미토콘드리아는 세포 분열과 세포자살에 관여할 수도 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) has been introduced as an effective disinfection method for titanium surfaces due to their massive radical generation at low temperatures. Helium (He) has been widely applied as a discharge gas in APPJ due to its bactericidal effects and was proven to be effective in our previous study. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effects of He-APPJ application at both the cell and tissue levels. Methods: Cellular-level responses were examined using human gingival fibroblasts and osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1 cells). He-APPJ was administered to the cells in the experimental group, while the control group received only He-gas treatment. Immediate cell responses and recovery after He-APPJ treatment were examined in both cell groups. The effect of He-APPJ on osteogenic differentiation was evaluated via an alkaline phosphatase activity assay. In vivo, He-APPJ treatment was administered to rat calvarial bone and the adjacent periosteum, and samples were harvested for histological examination. Results: He-APPJ treatment for 5 minutes induced irreversible effects in both human gingival fibroblasts and osteoblasts in vitro. Immediate cell detachment of human gingival fibroblasts and osteoblasts was shown regardless of treatment time. However, the detached areas in the groups treated for 1 or 3 minutes were completely repopulated within 7 days. Alkaline phosphatase activity was not influenced by 1 or 3 minutes of plasma treatment, but was significantly lower in the 5 minute-treated group (P=0.002). In vivo, He-APPJ treatment was administered to rat calvaria and periosteum for 1 or 3 minutes. No pathogenic changes occurred at 7 days after He-APPJ treatment in the He-APPJ-treated group compared to the control group (He gas only). Conclusions: Direct He-APPJ treatment for up to 3 minutes showed no harmful effects at either the cell or tissue level.

미세조류는 효율적으로 바이오매스를 증가시킬 수 있으며 유용한 생물학적 자원들을 축적할 수 있기 때문에 에너지 및 식품 생산 등 다양한 분야에서 유망한 자원으로써 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 4종의 미세조류(Chlorella vulgaris, Mychonastes homosphaera, Coelastrella sp., Coelastrella vacuolata)를 선정하여 이들의 성장, CO2 동화, CO2 농도에 따른 미세조류의 지질 생성 특성을 분석하였다. 각 미세조류의 크기는 C. vulgaris가 가장 작았으며, M. homosphaera, C. vacuolata, Coelastrella sp. 순으로 큰 크기를 나타냈다. C. vulgaris는 다른 3종의 미세조류와 비교해서 크기가 가장 작으며 성장과 CO2 동화 속도가 가장 빠르게 나타났다. 또한, 초기 바이오매스가 증가함에 따라 CO2 동화 속도는 최대 9.62 mmol·day-1·l-1를 나타냈으며, 다른 3종의 미세조류(약 3 mmol·day-1·l-1)보다 3배 이상 높은 CO2 동화 속도를 보여주었다(p < 0.05). M. homosphaera를 제외하고 3종의 미세조류는 CO2 농도와 CO2 동화 비속도 사이에 양의 상관관계(positive correlation)를 나타냈다. 특히, C. vulgaris는 다른 3종의 미세조류와 비교해 더 높은 CO2 동화 비속도를 보여주었다(14.6 vs. ≤ 11.9 mmol·day-1·l-1). 4종의 미세조류는 CO2 농도가 증가함에 따라 지질 함량이 증가했으며 그 중에서 C. vulgaris는 최대 18 mg·l-1를 나타내 다른 3종의 미세조류(최대 12 mg·l-1)보다 최소 50% 이상 높은 지질 함량을 보여주었다. 4종의 미세조류 중 C. vulgaris가 효율적으로 CO2를 동화하며 다른 미세조류보다 높은 바이오매스와 지질 생산이 가능함을 시사한다.

Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family, is a key mediator in cellular metabolic processes and energy homeostasis. Therefore, ERRγ has become an attractive target for treating diverse metabolic disorders. We recently reported that ERRγ acts as a negative regulator of osteoclastogenesis induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). In the present study, we explored the effects of an ERRγ-specific modulator, GSK5182, on ERRγ-regulated osteoclast differentiation and survival. Interestingly, GSK5182 increased ERRγ protein levels much as does GSK4716, which is an ERRγ agonist. GSK5182 inhibited osteoclast generation from bone-marrow-derived macrophages without affecting cytotoxicity. GSK5182 also attenuated RANKL-mediated expression of cFos and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), pivotal transcription factors for osteoclastogenesis. Arrested osteoclast differentiation was associated with reduced RANK expression, but not with the M-CSF receptor, c-Fms. GSK5182 strongly blocked the phosphorylation of IκBα, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase in response to RANKL. GSK5182 also suppressed NF-κB promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner. In addition to osteoclastogenesis, GSK5182 accelerated osteoclast apoptosis by caspase-3 activation. Together, these results suggest that GSK5182, a synthetic ERRγ modulator, may have potential in treating disorders related to bone resorption.
