In this paper we consider mappings ${\sigma}$ which map the binary operation symbol f to the term ${\sigma}$(f) which do not necessarily preserve the arities. We call these mappings generalized hypersubstitutions. Any generalized hypersubstitution ${\sigma}$ can be extended to a mapping $\hat{\sigma}$ on the set of all terms of type ${\tau}$ = (2). We de ne a binary operation on the set $Hyp_G$(2) of all generalized hypersubstitutions of type ${\tau}$ = (2) by using this extension The set $Hyp_G$(2) together with the identity generalized hypersubstitution ${\sigma}_{id}$ which maps f to the term f($x_1,x_2$) forms a monoid. We determine all regular elements of this monoid.

하이퍼큐브의 정규적이며 계층적인 구조적 특성은 효율적인 진단 알고리즘 개발에 유리하게 적용될 수 있다. Feng et al.의 HADA/IHADA와 Choi와 Rhee의 적응적 큐브 분할 방법은 하이퍼큐브의 전체 노드를 하나의 링으로 임베딩하여 링의 진단 특성을 이용하기 위하여 분할 및 정복 방법을 이용하였다. 또한 Kranakis와 Pelc는 결함을 모두 포함하는 최소의 서브링을 하나의 노드로 하는 하이퍼큐브의 형태로 분할하는 HYP-DIAG 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 최악의 경우에, 테스트 수만을 고려하여 2$^n$+3n/2의 테스트 수를 갖는 FAST-HYP-DIAG 알고리즘과 병렬 시간만을 고려하여 많아야 11테스트 라운드 이내에 진단을 수행하는 EXPRESS-HYF-DIAG 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 HYP-DIAG의 첫 번째 단계에서 얻어진 서브링들의 신드롬을 분석하여 테스트의 수와 테스트 라운드를 모두 고려하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

본 연구를 통하여 피부 미용 소재로 알려져 있는 콜라겐 펩타이드를 섭취한 후 혈중에 나타나는 소화분해산물 중 콜라겐 특유의 아미노산인 hydroxyproline과 이것의 dipeptide 형태인 Pro-Hyp이 피부에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 피부 미용 소재를 경구 섭취하는 사람의 피부는 광노화 및 자연노화가 어느 정도 진행된 상태이므로, 이와 유사한 조건을 조성하기 위해 경구 투여를 시작하기 전에 hairless mouse에 7주간 주 3회 UV를 조사하여 주름을 선유발시켰다. 군 분리를 시킨 후 7주간 경구로 실험물질을 주 5회 반복 투여하면서, 주 3회 UV 조사를 병행하였으며, 시험 기간 중 임상증상, 체중변화를 관찰하였고, 3회 (0,4. 7주차) 피부주형을 채취하여 영상 분석을 실시하였으며, 2회 (0,7 주차)의 피부탄력측정 및 1회(7주차)의 TEWL측정을 병행하였다. 실험종료 후 피부조직의 병리조직학적 검사(H&E, Masson-Trichrome stain) 및 피부두께 측정을 실시하였다. 실험기간 중 이상 임상증상을 보이거나 사망한 개체는 없었으며, 체중에 대한 통계적으로 유의한 변화는 관찰할 수 없었다. 피부 육안관찰 시 NC군에 비해 UC군의 피부 주름 증가가 뚜렷하였으며, 시험군들은 UC군에 비해 주름 증가가 적었다. 경구 투여 0, 4, 7주차에 제작된 replica의 주름 지표를 통계 처리한 결과, UV/H군과 UV/P군은 DC군에 비해 감소경향은 보였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 탄력측정검사 결과 UV를 쬐지 않은 NC군은 UC군에 비해 UA/UF, Ur/Ue, Ur/Uf 지표에서 유의적인 증가를 보였다. UV/H군과 UV/P군은 모두 0, 7주차 모두 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 피부 보습력 측정 결과 NC군 및 모든 실험군에서 UC군에 비해 유의적인 TEWL 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다. 피부 두께의 경우 NC군, UV/H군, UV/P군은 UC군에 비해 피부 두께가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 진피층에서의 교원질 확인을 위해 실시한 Masson-Trichrome stain의 경우 UC군에서는 상부 진피층에서의 염색상 소실이 관찰되었으나, 모든 실험군에서 진피층 손상이 거의 관찰되지 않아 실험물질에 의한 회복을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이상의 실험 결과 hydroxyproline, Pro-Hyp의 경구반복투여시 자외선에 의해 광노화가 유발된 피부에 보습 효과, 피부 두께 감소 효과, 진피층 손상 회복 효과를 유의적으로 확인할 수 있었으며, 단, 피부 주름 개선 정도는 통계적 유의성은 없이 경향성만을 확인할 수 있었다. Hydroxyproline과 이를 함유하는 dipeptide 형태의 Pro-Hyp를 경구 투여한 시험으로부터 확인한 피부 보습 및 진피층 회복 효과는 이 물질들이 유래된 콜라겐을 도포 또는 섭취했을 때 피부에 나타날 수 있는 작용들과 상통하며, 단독 미용 소재로도 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 콜라겐 펩타이드를 섭취 시 체내에 흡수되어 혈액을 통해 각 조직에 운반되는 분해 산물이 피부에 미치는 영향을 동물 시험을 통해 살펴보았는데, 향후 연구에서는 관절, 혈관과 같은 다른 생체 조직들에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 검증해 볼 필요가 있다.

The study focuses on the quality assessment of Black Bengal buck semen preserved at chilled condition. In this in vitro trial, collected semen from Black Bengal bucks was preserved at chilling temperature ($4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$) in tris-glucosecitrate yolk medium of 1:5 ratios for four days. Artificial Vagina (AV) method was utilized to collect semen from buck. General evaluation of semen includes the color, mass activity and density were measured by direct visual examination. However, computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) and phase contrast microscopy were used to figure out the motility (%), hyper-activated (HYP) motility (%) and number of abnormal spermatozoa (%) initially, and at every 24 h intervals. The result revealed that spermatozoa preserved at chilling temperature showed significantly (P<0.05) lower motility and HYP motility with the progression of preservation. The number of phenotypically abnormal spermatozoa significantly (P<0.05) increased following preservation. Although significant positive correlation (r=0.945; P<0.05) was existed between % motile and % HYP motile spermatozoa however, the % of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa was negatively correlated with % motile (r=-0.997; P<0.05) and % HYP motile spermatozoa (r=-0.946; P<0.01). Therefore, we concluded that the quality of chilled semen progressively losses its viability and doesn't remain useable after certain period of preservation with respect to its motility and morphology.

Hydroxyproline (HYP) is a post-translational product of proline hydroxylation catalyzed by an enzyme prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H) which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of all collagens. Considering the role of collagen and its significance in many clinically important diseases such as liver fibrosis, a great deal of attention has been directed toward the development of an assay at cell-based system. The reason is that cell-based assay system is more efficient than enzyme-based in vitro system and takes much less time than in vivo system. Several assay procedures developed for P4H are laborious, time-consuming and not feasible for the massive-screening. Here, we report the cell-based assay method of prolyl 4-hydroxylase in immortalized rat hepatic stellate HSC-T6 cells. To optimize the cell culture condition to assay for HYP content, various concentrations of reagents were treated for different times in HSC-T6 cells. Our data showed that the treatment with ascorbate in a hypoxic condition for 24 h resulted in the maximal increase of HYP by 1.8 fold. Alternatively, cobalt chloride ($5\;{\mu}M$) and ascorbate ($50\;{\mu}M$) in normoxic states exhibited similar effect on the production of HYP as in a hypoxic condition. Therefore, cobalt chloride can be substituted for a hypoxic condition when an anaerobic chamber is not available. Rosiglitazone and HOE077, known as inhibitors of collagen, synthesis decreased P4H enzyme activity by 32.3% and 15%, respectively, which coincided with previous reports from liver tissues. The level of the smooth muscle ${\alpha}$-actin, a marker of activated stellate cells, was significantly increased under hypoxia, suggesting that our experimental condition could work for screening the anti-fibrotic compounds. The assay procedure took only 3 days after treatment with agents, while assays from the primary stellate cells or liver tissues have taken several weeks. Considering the time and expenses, this assay method could be useful to screen the compounds for the inhibitor of prolyl 4-hydroxylase.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health issue in Japan and other countries, and foods that prevent or treat OA are in strong demand. Proteins and peptides in chicken meat and bones are known for being rich in functional and nutritional ingredients for the improvement of osteoporosis. We speculated that chicken legs, a food consumed in many regions of the world, may also contain such ingredients. In this study, we aim to (i) evaluate the effect of chicken leg extract (CLE) on the promotion of cartilage matrix production and (ii) identify the active ingredient in CLE that contributes to this function. MATERIALS/METHODS: Artificial CLE digest was prepared, and the acid mucopolysaccharide production-promoting activity of the CLE digest was evaluated by alcian blue staining of ATDC5 cells. CLE was orally administered to rabbits with burr holes in the knee joint of the femur, and the degree of regeneration of cartilage matrix was evaluated. Furthermore, we investigated orally administered CLE-derived peptides in human plasma using LC-MS. From measuring the acid mucopolysaccharide production-promotion activity of these peptides, a molecule considered to be an active ingredient in the CLE digest was identified. RESULTS: CLE digest promoted acid mucopolysaccharide production and facilitated regeneration of cartilage matrix in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Four peptides including phenylalanyl-hydroxyproline (Phe-Hyp) were detected as CLE-derived peptides in human plasma. The effect of CLE was inferred to be due to Phe-Hyp, which was confirmed to be present in the CLE digest. CONCLUSIONS: It was shown that CLE stimulated the production of articular cartilage matrix both in vitro and in vivo, and that CLE could be an effective food for preventing or treating OA. Furthermore, only Phe-Hyp was confirmed as the active compound in the CLE digest, suggesting that the activity of CLE was due to Phe-Hyp.

[Purpose] Blood glucose and insulin resistance were lower following hypoxic exposure in previous studies. However, the effect of hypoxia as therapy in obese model has not been unknown. [Methods] Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into chow diet (n=10) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups (n=20). The chow diet group received a non-purified commercial diet (65 % carbohydrate, 21 % protein, and 14 % fat) and water ad libitum. The HFD group was fed an HFD (Research Diet, #D12492; 60% kcal from fat, 5.24 kcal/g). Both groups consumed their respective diet for 7 weeks. Subsequently, HFD-induced mice (12-weeks-old) were randomly divided into two treatment groups : HFD-Normoxia (HFD; n=10) and HFD-Hypoxia (HYP; n=10, fraction of inspired=14.6%). After treatment for 4 weeks, serum glucose, insulin and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed. [Results] Homeostatic model assessment values for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of the HYP group tended to be lower than the HFD group. Regarding the OGTT, the area under the curve was 13% lower for the HYP group than the HFD group. [Conclusion] Insulin resistance tended to be lower and glucose uptake capacity was significantly augmented under hypoxia. From a clinical perspective, exposure to hypoxia may be a practical method of treating obesity.

The oxidative stress causes the cell damage and death and thereby, stimulates membrane lipid peroxidation. In this study, the correlation between the lipid peroxidation product and the parameter of liver fibrosis (cirrhosis) was investigated in cholestasis induced rats. The Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups (sham: sham operation, BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II : bile duct ligation/scission) and were observed for 2 or 4 weeks. After observation period, the organs were weighed and the ratio of organ weight/body weight was calculated. Sera and liver tissue were used for the measurement of malondealdehyde (MDA), parameter of clinical biochemistry, total collagen content and the staining. The ratio of organ weight/body weight in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II was significantly increased compared to sham operated group. Serological parameters (Alanine transaminase, Aspartate transaminase, Alkaline phosphatase and Total bilirubin) in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group were significantly higher than those in sham operated group. Concentration of MDA in BDL/S-I (261%) and BDL/S-II(790%) was significantly increased compared to MDA in sham operated group. And the content of hydroxyproline (hyp) in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group was significantly increased 2~4 times than in sham operated group. The good correlations between hyp in liver tissue and MDA in sera of sham operated group and all operated group were found (r=0.825). The significantly higher value of MDA, hyp and serological parameters in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group suggests the stimulation of lipid peroxidation and chronic liver damage. Especially the activation of lipid peroxidation and the stimulation of liver fibrosis was stronger in BDL/S-II group than in BDL/S-I group. The stronger fibrosis, portal-portal septum formation, the more massive bile duct proliferation in portal triads and stroma, and hepatocytes swelling were observed in liver tissue of and BDL/S-II group compared to BDL/S-I group. Conclusively, a good correlation between MDA as a lipid peroxidation marker and hyp as a liver fibrotic parameter could be connected with the process of liver fibrosis. Moreover, cholestasis condition may cause jaundice, activation of lipid peroxidation, and collagen accumulation in liver. Additionally, optimal observation period of bile duct obstruction for the screening of antioxidant and antifibrotic effect in rats would be four weeks.
