대황(Rhei Rhizoma; RR, 대황(大黃))은 Rheum officinale Baill.와 Rheum palmatum L.(polygonaceae)의 땅속부분으로 남아시아의 민속의학에서 간 및 신장의 손상을 치료하는데 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배양한 흰쥐 해마신경세포의 저산소증모델을 이용하여 대황의 물추출물이 유전자 표현에 미치는 영향을 microarray 방법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 배양 후 10일 (DIV10)에 추출물을 배지에 $2.5{\mu}g/ml$ 농도로 첨가하고, DIV13에 저산소증(2% $O_2$/5% $CO_2$, $37^{\circ}C$, 3 h)을 유발한 후 24 시간 후에 total RNA를 분리하여 microarray에 사용하였다. MA-plot에 의하면 표현이 연화된 대부분의 유전자는 ${\pm}2$배 이내로 증감되었다. 이 가운데 Global M 값이 0.2(즉, 15%)보다 더 증가한 유전자는 472종, Global M 값이 -0.2(즉, -15%)보다 더 감소한 유전자는 725종이였다. 세포의 생존과 관련된 유전자 가운데 세포자연사 억제유전자인 Tegt(2.4배), Nfkb1 (2.4배), Veg (1.8배), Ngfr (1.6배) 등이 크게 증가하였으며, 반면에 자연사 촉진유전자인 Bad (-64%), Cstb (-66%)는 감소하였다. 스트레스를 극복하는데 필요한 유전자인 Defb3 (2.7배), Cygb (2.2배), Ahsg (2.18배), Alox5 (2배) 등도 크게 증가하였다. 그리고 세포 성장을 촉진하는 유전자인 Erbb2 (1.84배), Mapk12 (1.8배)도 크게 증가하였다. 따라서 대황의 물추출물은 세포생존에 필요한 유전자를 증가시키고, 세포사를 유도하는 유전자는 감소시킴으로서 저산소층 스트레스에서 신경세포의 사망을 억제하는 것으로 해석된다.

Soft tunic syndrome (STS) is a protozoal disease caused by Azumiobodo hoyamushi in the edible ascidian Halocynthia roretzi. Previous studies have proven that combined formalin-hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) bath is effective in reducing STS progress and mortality. To secure target animal safety for field applications, toxicity of the treatment needs to be evaluated. Healthy ascidians were bathed for 1 week, 1 h a day at various bathing concentrations. Bathing with 5- and 10-fold optimum concentration caused 100% mortality of ascidians, whereas mortality by 0.5- to 2.0-fold solutions was not different from that of control. Of the oxidative damage parameters, MDA levels did not change after 0.5- and 1.0-fold bathing. However, free radical scavenging ability and reducing power were significantly decreased even with the lower-than-optimal 0.5-fold concentration. Glycogen content tended to increase with 1-fold bathing without statistical significance. All changes induced by the 2-fold bathing were completely or partially restored to control levels 48 h post-bathing. Free amino acid analysis revealed a concentration-dependent decline in aspartic acid and cysteine levels. In contrast, alanine and valine levels increased after the 2-fold bath treatment. These data indicate that the currently established effective disinfectant regimen against the parasitic pathogen is generally safe, and the biochemical changes observed are transient, lasting approximately 48 h at most. Low levels of formalin and $H_2O_2$ were detectable 1 h post-bathing; however, the compounds were completely undetectable after 48 h of bathing. Formalin-$H_2O_2$ bathing is effective against STS; however, reasonable care is required in the treatment to avoid unwanted toxicity. Drug residues do not present a concern for consumer safety.

When ginseng seedlings are cultured in paddy fields, quality degradation and yield reduction are induced by severe plant loss with chlorosis on leaves occurred physiological disorder by excessive salt and poor drainage, rusty-root occurrence, and root rot etc. Accordingly, in order to solve these problems, this study was performed to investigate the treatment method, concentrations and time of activated ion calcium as environment-friendly agricultural materials. Activated ion calcium is an enriched and purified water-soluble mineral calcium component for absorbing quickly into plant as a highly functional calcium and it is an alkaline calcium of 37% (370 $m{\ell}$/1 ${\ell}$) concentration with pH 13. Treatment method was that ginseng seeds were sown after removing water in the shade after seed immersion for 1 minute with active ion calcium of 20-fold diluted solution, and then irrigated $4{\ell}$ per 3.3 $m^2$ with 200-fold, 400-fold, and 600-fold diluted solution before emergence on late March, and supplied 1 time on leaves with 500-fold diluted solution in June and July respectively. The disease rate by treatment of activated ion calcium was that on the treatment of soil irrigated with 200-fold diluted solution compared to non-treated soil, damping-off was 33%, anthracnose was 100% reduced and the occurrence rate of rusty-root was 30% reduced. In addition, when active ion calcium of 200-fold diluted solution were soil irrigated, first and second grade ginseng were respectively 26% and 22% produced more, compared with control.

Purpose: Double - eyelid operation is one of the most common cosmetic operations among Korean patients. In such operations, however, the complexity of and individual differences in the patients' anatomical structures may cause various complications, such as asymmetry, retraction of the eyelid, and the occurrence of a high fold. A high fold occurs frequently, and its correction is not very simple. Many methods have been developed to correct it, and among these, the operation involving the excision of the skin between the previous double - eyelid line and the new double - eyelid line is usually selected by plastic surgeons. In many cases, however, patients have insufficient eyelid skins for this operation. In this study, the authors introduce an operation procedure for high - fold correction that does not involve skin excision Methods: From June 2005 to June 2009, 246 cases were treated with this procedure. After the incision of the new double - eyelid line, dissection was done between the previous scar tissue and the levator aponeurosis. Then the orbital septum, orbital fat or the retro - orbicularis oculi fat was slid down and sutured with a tarsal plate. Such sutures were repeated at four to five points, including the lateral and medial limbus, to prevent the reattachment of the previous scar and to create a new double - eyelid line at the end of the orbital septum. Results: Most of the high - fold patients were satisfied with the procedure described above. Their previous scar was hidden under the new double - eyelid line after the operation. In the six cases, the scar was visible in the patients who had a very high and deep inner line. As such, scar revision was undertaken three months after the operation. It is known that scar revision is also required after an operation involving skin excision in the case of a very high inner - eyelid line. Conclusion: This method is an appropriative procedure for high - fold correction for patients who have insufficient upper - eyelid skin.

본 연구는 지구성 운동 후 안정시 PGC-1α mRNA와 단백질의 안정성이 PPARβ/δ의 영향을 받는지 확인하는 것이다. 전기 자극 유전자 전이법(electroporation; EPO)을 이용하여 PPARβ/δ와 empty vector(EV) 유전자를 각각 생쥐의 왼쪽과 오른쪽 tibialis anterior(TA)근육에 전이하였으며, 처치하지 않은 대조군(control)과 1회 지구성 운동 후 시간에 경과에 따른 mRNA와 단백질을 비교하였다. 생쥐는 5시간 수영 운동을 1회 실시하였으며, 운동 직후(0h), 24시간(24h) 및 54시간(h)이 경과한 후 TA근육을 적출하였다. 운동 직후(0h) 대조군, EV 및 PPARβ/δ가 과발현된 근육의 PGC-1α mRNA는 좌업 그룹보다 각각 6.8배(p<.001)배, 6.2배(p<.001) 및 7.1배(p<.001) 증가하였으나, 24h 및 54h에 좌업 그룹수준으로 회복되었다. 운동 후 24h에 EV가 처치된 근육은 PGC-1α 및 PGC-1α ubiquitination이 좌업 그룹보다 각각 2.2배 및 1.74배 증가하였으나, 운동 후 54h에 좌업 그룹수준으로 회복되었다. PPARβ/δ 처치 그룹의 PGC-1α는 운동 후 24h와 54h에 좌업 그룹보다 각각 2.5배와 2.2배 증가하였으나 PGC-1α ubiquitination은 증가하지 않았다. 따라서 PPARβ/δ 과발현은 지구성 운동에 의한 PGC-1α mRNA 단백질 안정성에 영향을 미치지 않는다. 그러나 PPARβ/δ 과발현은 지구성 운동으로 증가된 PGC-1α mRNA가 단백질로 전환된 후 PGC-1α의 안정성을 증가시킨다.

A mutant of Arthrospira platensis PCC 9108, strain M9108, obtained by mutagenesis with UV treatment, was able to mixotrophically grow in an SOT medium containing 40 g of glucose/l. The biomass and specific growth rate of strain M9108 (4.10 g/l and 0.70/d) were 1.9-fold and 1.4-fold higher, respectively, than those of the wild type (2.21 g/l and 0.58/d) under mixotrophic culture condition. In addition, when compared with the wild type, the content of ${\gamma}$-linolenic acid (GLA) in the mutant was increased when glucose concentration was increased. Compared with the wild type, the GLA content of the mutant was 2-fold higher in autotrophic culture and about 3-fold higher in mixotrophic culture. Thus, the mutant appears to possess more efficient facility to assimilate and metabolize glucose and to produce more GLA than its wild-type strain.

Bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is a challenging condition which may result from diverse etiologies including vocal fold paralysis, synkinesis, cricoarytenoid joint fixation, and interarytenoid scar. Most patients present with dyspnea and stridor, but sometimes with a breathy dysphonia. Careful history taking, laryngoscopic evaluation under general anesthesia or awaken status, laryngeal EMG, and imaging studies with CT and/or MRI are helpful for providing a precise diagnosis and planning appropriate managements. In children, congenital neurological disorder is one of the most common etiologies, and spontaneous recovery has been reported in more than 50% of cases. Therefore, observation for more than 6 months while securing the upper airway with tracheostomy if needed is a generally accepted rule before deciding any destructive procedure to be undertaken. In children with advanced posterior glottic stenosis, laryngotracheal reconstruction with rib cartilage graft should be considered. In contrast to children, BVFI most commonly occurs as sequalae of surgical complication in adults. Diverse static or dynamic procedures can be applied; posterior cordotomy, vocal fold lateralization, endoscopic or open arytenoidectomy, arytenoid abduction, and reinnervation, electrical laryngeal pacing, which need to be carefully selected according to each patient's needs and pathophysiology of BVFI.
