Purpose: If the tooth structure is damaged, then it is impossible to regenerate the tooth. The materials used to restore the tooth structure are not related to the composition of the tooth. The materials used to restore the structure can't replace the natural tooth because they just fill the defective structure. Calcium phosphate cement remineralizes the dentin and almost replaces the natural tooth, but there are some disadvantages. We conducted basic tests with Biomimetic CPC (Bio-CPC) to make sure of the possibility of the biomaterial to remineralize the defective tooth structure. Methods: In this study, the bioactivity and biocompatibility of Bio-CPC were evaluated for its potential value as the bio-material for regeneration of damaged tooth structure by conducting a cell toxicity assay (WST-1 assay), a cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay, a chromosomal aberration test, total RNA extraction and RT-PCR on MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Results: The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that the Bio-CPC was fairly cytocompatible for the MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Conclusion: Bio-CPC has a possibility to be a new biomaterial and further study of Bio-CPC is needed.

In this study, we demonstrated multimodal nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy integrated simultaneously with two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF), second-harmonic generation (SHG), and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in order to obtain targeted cellular and label-free images in an immunofluorescence assay of the atherosclerotic aorta from apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. The multimodal NLO microscope used two laser systems: picosecond (ps) and femtosecond (fs) pulsed lasers. A pair of ps-pulsed lights served for CARS (817 nm and 1064 nm) and SHG (817 nm) images; light from the fs-pulsed laser with the center wavelength of 720 nm was incident into the sample to obtain autofluorescence and targeted molecular TPEF images for high efficiency of fluorescence intensity without cross-talk. For multicolor-targeted TPEF imaging, we stained smooth-muscle cells and macrophages with fluorescent dyes (Alexa Fluor 350 and Alexa Fluor 594) for an immunofluorescence assay. Each depth-sectioned image consisted of $512{\times}512$ pixels with a field of view of $250{\times}250{\mu}m^2$, a lateral resolution of $0.4{\mu}m$, and an axial resolution of $1.3{\mu}m$. We obtained composite multicolor images with conventional label-free NLO images and targeted TPEF images in atherosclerotic-plaque samples. Multicolor 3-D imaging of atherosclerotic-plaque structural and functional composition will be helpful for understanding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

In this study, the surface of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) disks was modified to have a hydrophilic surface by applying a coating of Polyethylene glycol (PEG), Hyaluronic acid(HA), and Poly-Dopamine(PDA). The investigation aimed to examine whether the coated surfaces showed enhanced bioactivity for orthopedic applications compared to the pure PEEK. The microstructure, surface characteristics, and wettability of PEEK coated with PEG, HA, and PDA were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), FT-IR spectrophotometer, Roughness Measurement System, Micro-Vickers, and Contact angle measurement. The mechanical properties were analyzed using a tensile testing machine, while the MTT assay for cell activity was analyzed using a microplate reader to measure optical density. According to the SEM and FT-IR results, the composition and crystal structure of PEG, HA and PDA coated surface were verified. Also, roughness, hardness, and contact angle were all improved in the coating group compared to the pure PEEK. We checked the HepG2 cell proliferation by using MTT assay on 7th days. In MTT assay results, HepG2 cell proliferation was increased with time, at 7 days, cell viability on discs coated with PDA was significantly higher than pure PEEK, PEG, HA coated group. PDA coated PEEK exhibited the highest surface roughness, hardness, contact angle, and cell activity. The mechanical properties were not affected by the presence of the coating.

최근에 들어서 전세계적으로 식물 자원에서의 항균력 및 항산화력에 대한 관심이 광범위하게 증가하고 있다. 이는 사용되고 있는 항균제와 항산화제보다 안전한 대체 자원에 대한 관심이 높아졌기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Viburnum sargentii 씨앗의 메탄올 추출물의 항균력 및 항산화력과 화학적 구성에 대하여 연구를 진행하였다. 추출물의 화학 조성은 가스 크로마토 그래피-질량 분석법으로 측정하였고, 디스크 확산 분석법을 이용하여 항균 활성을 알아보았다. 액체 배지 감수성 실험을 통해 최소 억제 농도(MIC)를 측정하였고, 한천 희석법을 통해 최소 살균 농도(MBC)를 측정하였다. V. sargentii 메탄올 추출물은 실험에 사용된 그람 양성균(Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus) 및 그람 음성균(Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Proteus vulgaris)의 성장을 억제하였고, MIC와 MBC는 그람 양성균에서 0.156-1.25 mg/ml, 그람 음성균에서는 0.625-5.0 mg/ml의 범위를 나타내었다. 가스 크로마토 그래피-질량 분석법 결과에서는 V. sargentii 메탄올 추출물이 약리 활성을 가지는 ${\beta}-sitosterol$과 vitamin E와 같은 여러 파이토케미컬을 포함하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. V. sargentii 메탄올 추출물의 항산화 활성은 DPPH free radical scavenging assay, reducing power assay, total antioxidant capacity의 세 가지의 실험 방법을 통하여 확인하였으며, V. sargentii 메탄올 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 항산화 활성도 증가하는 것을 세 가지 실험에서 모두 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 V. sargentii 씨앗이 병원성 균의 성장을 억제할 수 있는 활성을 가질 뿐만 아니라, 항산화 활성을 가지는 구성물이 풍부함으로 추가적인 연구를 진행하기에도 충분한 가치가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of the amino acid composition of diet and environment on RNA, protein content in brain and learning ability in rats. Forty-two Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into six groups according to type of diet, casein, soybean meal, or corn gluten and rearing condition, isolated or enriched. They were fed foods ad libitum for 6 weeks. A water maze was used to test behavioral performance for 3 weeks from 4th week. The rats were sacrificed at 6th week and their whole brains were taken and frozen for assay of RNA and protein. The results were summarized as follows : 1) The body weight gain for the experimental periods of corn gluten group was significantly lower than the casein and the soybean meal group. 2) The brain weight of the corn gluten group was significantly lower than the casein and the soybean meal group and the environmental enrichment slightly increased it among rats fed the corn gluten diet. 3) The total RNA contents were the greatest in the environmentally enriched casein group. The brain protein contents of the isolated corngluten group was the smallest. However, the contents of the enriched corn gluten group were similar to those of the others. 4) In the water maze test, the isolated corngluten group spent significantly more time than the others. Environmental enrichment could decrease time to perform the task of the maze.

The content and composition of tocopherol were analyzed in peanuts produced in Korea. The tocopherol assay was consisted of an extraction with n-hex-ane:isopropanol mixture followed by high pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Tocopherol content was higher in leaves and seeds but lower in seed coats and shells. $\alpha$-/${\gamma}$- Tocopherol ratio was as low as 0.53 in seeds and as high as 22.5 in shells. Tocopherol content in seeds of nine varieties ranged from 142 to 220 ng/mg dry weight, and the $\alpha$-/${\gamma}$-tocopherol ratio from 0.40 to 0.75. Tocopherol content decreased by 18% but $\alpha$-/${\gamma}$-tocopherol ratio increased by 44% in roasted seeds. The results indicate that the level of tocopherol in Korean peanut varieties is moderate and the ratio of $\alpha$- to ${\gamma}$-tocopherol is low.

Lectin binding assay was conducted on 3 A. tamarense isolates (AT-A, AT-2 and AT-6). Fatty acid composition of all 3 isolates was analyzed, and total carotenoid content and $\beta$-carotene were also determined. AT-A and AT-2 treated with different lectins in this study showed the positive response, whereas potentially toxic AT-6 did not bind DBA lectin, regardless of different growth phase, but conjugated ConA, PNA, RCA, SBA, UEA and WGA. It is possible that DBA is a desirable method for rapid and easy discrimination of highly toxic A. tamarense. AT-A, AT-2 and AT-6 comprised saturated fatty acids (49.0-61.9%), monounsaturated fatty acids (8.0-20.5%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (23.2-30.5%). In particular, 22:6 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid in AT-6 had a high abundance, compared with AT-A and AT-2. However, carotenoid content and $\beta$-carotene were not contributed to discriminate each isolate. Due to variability in biochemical composition at different isolates, possibly DBA and 22:6 (n-3) polyunsaturate fatty acid provide a good information for discrimination of AT-6.

본 연구의 목적은 항염, 항균 등 다양한 기능성을 갖는 서양종꿀벌(Apis mellifera L.)의 일벌독에서 분리한 봉독의 활성아민 성분과 함량을 분석하고 그 분석법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography에 Halo C18컬럼과, acetonitrile 및 증류수를 이동상으로 사용하여 분석시간 13분 이내에서 봉독의 cadaverine에 대한 성분 분석법을 개발하였고, 분석법 밸리데이션을 통하여 특이성, 정확성, 정밀성을 갖춘 분석법임이 확인되었다. 봉독의 cadaverine의 직선성은 R2=0.99 이상으로 측정되어 양호하게 분석되었고, 검출한계는 0.3 ㎍/ml, 정량한계는 0.3 ㎍/ml으로 나타났으며, 회수율은 97.6~99.1%로 나타났다. Cadaverine의 일내 정밀도는 상대표준편차(RSD) 값이 0.25~0.44%였으며, 일간 정밀도는 0.25~1.25%로 상대표준편차 값이 5% 이내의 우수한 정밀성을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 분석법을 통해 지금까지 봉독에서는 보고된 바 없는 활성아민 cadaverine이 평균 1.10±0.05 mg/g 함유된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 봉독에서 cadaverine 함량과 cadaverine 분석법에 대한 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계 및 회수율을 측정한 결과, 모두 만족스러운 결과를 나타냈으며, 봉독의 cadaverine에 대한 기초자료와 생리활성에 연구로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A set of prediction equations to estimate the nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) of individual ingredients and diets used in the poultry feed industry was evaluated. The AMEn values of three energy ingredients (maize, sorghum and defatted maize germ meal), four protein ingredients (soybean meal, maize gluten meal 60% crude protein, integral micronized soy and roasted whole soybean) and four diets (three containing four feedstuffs, complex diets, and one containing only corn-soybean meal, basal diet) were determined using a metabolism assay with male broilers from 1 to 7, 8 to 21, 22 to 35, and 36 to 42 days old. These values were compared to the AMEn values presented in the tables of energy composition or estimated by equation predictions based on chemical composition data of feedstuffs. In general, the equation predictions more precisely estimated the AMEn of feedstuffs when compared to the tables of energy composition. The equation AMEn (dry matter [DM] basis) = 4,164.187+51.006 ether extract (% in DM basis)-197.663 ash-35.689 crude fiber (% in DM basis)-20.593 neutral detergent fiber (% in DM basis) ($R^2=0.75$) was the most applicable for the prediction of the energy values of feedstuffs and diets used in the poultry feed industry.
