Chitinase activities from Shumard oak tissues were determined to study changes in chitinase activities related to water stress. The enzyme extracted in sodium acetate buffer (0.1M, pH 4.5) was assayed by a colorimetric method. In addition, the fungal hyphae of Hypoxylon atropunctatum in xylem tissues of oak were observed through scanning electron microscopy. The enzyme in oak tissues was mainly endochitinase, and optimum pH for enzyme activity was 5. Specific chitinase activities from both of stems held under high relative humidity (ranges of 0.63-1.11 pKatal/$\mu\textrm{g}$ of protein) and stems held under low relative humidity (ranges of 0.41-0.99 pKatal/$\mu\textrm{g}$ of protein) were significantly increased following fungal inoculation with H. atropunctatum. However, there was no significant difference in chitinase activities between tissues held under high and low humidities, which might be due to fungal chitinase. Scanning electron microscopy showed holes in fungal hyphae in the xylem tissues of stems held under high humidity but not in the stems held under ow humidity, suggesting that hyphae might be hydrolyzed by plant hydolases such as chitinase.

표고 재배용 참나무류 중에서 굴참나무는 수피가 두꺼워서 참나무의 내수피 (2차 사부조직)에 알을 낳는 털두꺼비하늘소(Moechotypa diphysis)의 산란을 어렵게 하였다. 굴참나무의 수피 두께는 평균 7.4 mm로서 다른 참나무 수종(신갈은 평균 1.1mm, 졸참은 1.3mm, 상수리는 2.0mm) 보다 3-7배나 두꺼웠다. 내수피의 두께는 상수리가 4.8mm로 가장 두껍고 다른 수종은 3.6-3.9mm 였다. 털두꺼비하늘소가 원목의 수피에 뚫은 산란공의 외부형태는 굴참나무에서 $8-12mm{\times}6-8mm$ 크기의 넓은 타원형이었으며, 다른 3수종에서는 $5-9mm{\times}1-5mm$로 좁은 타원형이었다. 털두꺼비하늘소는 굴참나무 조사목 중 9%의 원목(1.2m 길이)에 원목당 평균 3개의 산란공을 뚫었으며, 실제로 산란공에 알이 있는 비율은 15%였다. 반면에 이 하늘소가 선호하여 산란하는 수종은 신갈나무로서 조사된 원목 32개의 전부에 산란공을 뚫었으며, 원목당 산란공 수는 평균 20개, 그 산란공에 알이 있는 빈도는 56%였고, 이 중에서 35%가 6월초에 이미 부화하여 유충이 내수피를 가해하고 있었다. 털두꺼비하늘소가 산란하는데 선호하는 참나무 수종은 수피가 매끈하고 표피가 잘 벗겨지지 않는 얇은 것으로 생각된다.

송화분, 참나무화분 및 백합화분에 대한 항산화 효능을 DPPH radical 소거능 및 동물조직의 지질산화 억제효능을 이용하여 평가하였다. 각 화분을 ethanol, 50% ethanol 및 물을 이용하여 추출물을 조제한 후 이들에 대한 DPPH radical 소거능을 분석한 결과 50% 소거능을 나타내는 $EC_{50}$ 값은, 송화분의 경우 50% ethanol 추출물(40.0mg/mL)이 가장 낮게 나타났으며 물 추출물(46.8mg/mL), 100% ethanol 추출물(131.2mg/mL) 순 이었다. 참나무화분에서는 50% ethanol 추출물(3.2mg/mL), 100%, ethanol 추출물(4.5mg/mL), 물 추출물(8.3mg/mL) 순이었고 백합화분에서는 100% ethanol 추출물의 $EC_{50}$값이 14.0mg/mL로, 50% ethanol 추출물(24.0mg/mL) 및 물 추출물(18.8mg/mL)에 비해 가장 낮았다. 3 종의 화분에서는 참나무 화분의 DPPH radical 소거능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 $ascorbate-Fe^{3+}-EDTA$에 의해 유도되는 뇌조직에서의 지질산화도는 송화분, 참나무화분, 백합화분 추출물에 의해 모두 농도 의존적으로 억제되었으며 신장에서의 지질산화도 억제되었다. 그리고 이 중에서 송화분보다는 참나무와 백합화분의 효능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 화분 추출물에 대한 총 polyphenol의 함량을 분석한 결과 참나무화분$(32.5{\pm}2.9{\mu}g/mg\;pollen)$이 백합화분$(25.9{\pm}1.4{\mu}g/mg\;pollen)$이나 송화분$(9.3{\pm}0.7{\mu}g/mg\;pollen)$보다 높게 나타났다.

This paper presents a hyperspectral imaging technique based on laser-induced fluorescence for non-invasive detection of tumorous tissue on mouse skin. Hyperspectral imaging sensors collect image data in a number of narrow, adjacent spectral bands. Such high-resolution measurement of spectral information reveals contiguous emission spectra at each image pixel useful for the characterization of constituent materials. The hyperspectral image data used in this study are fluorescence images of mouse skin consisting of 21 spectral bands in the visible spectrum of the wavelengths ranging from 440 nm to 640 nm. Fluorescence signal is measured with the use of laser excitation at 337 nm. An acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is used to capture images at 10 nm intervals. All spectral band images are spatially registered with the reference band image at 490 nm to obtain exact pixel correspondences by compensating the spatial offsets caused by the refraction differences in AOTF at different wavelengths during the image capture procedure. The unique fluorescence spectral signatures demonstrate a good separation to differentiate malignant tumors from normal tissues for rapid detection of skin cancers without biopsy.

Xylogone ganodermophthora, an ascomycetous fungus, is known to cause yellow rot in the cultivated mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. In this study, we investigated the dissemination of this fungal pathogen in G. lucidum grown in cultivation houses. To determine the role of ascospores produced by X. ganodermophthora in disease development, we constructed a green fluorescent protein-labeled transgenic strain. This X. ganodermophthora strain produced a number of ascomata in the tissues of oak logs on which G. lucidum had been grown and on the mushroom fruit bodies. However, the ascospores released from the ascomata were not able to germinate on water agar or potato dextrose agar. Moreover, less than 0.1% of the ascospores showed green fluorescence, indicating that most ascospores of X. ganodermophthora were not viable. To determine the manner in which X. ganodermophthora disseminates, diseased oak logs were either buried in isolated soil beds as soil-borne inocula or placed around soil beds as air-borne inocula. In addition, culture bottles in which G. lucidum mycelia had been grown were placed on each floor of a five-floor shelf near X. ganodermophthora inocula. One year after cultivation, yellow rot occurred in almost all of the oak logs in the soil beds, including those in beds without soil-borne inocula. In contrast, none of the G. lucidum in the culture bottles was infected, suggesting that dissemination of X. ganodermophthora can occur via the cultivation soil.

최근 천연의 의약품과 식품에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 약리성분이 우수하여 수요가 증가하고 있는 겨우살이 [Viscum album var. coloratum(Kom.) Ohwi] 와 겨우살이의 기주식물인 상수리나무(Quercus acutissima Carr.)가지의 조직특성을 조사하고 인공재배 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 겨우살이 종자가 기주목에 부착되면 종자로부터 성장한 흡기가 수피를 뚫고 들어가 형성층 부위에서 왕성한 세포분열을 통하여 여러 갈래로 분지를 형성하며, endophyte가 수피 속에서 성장하다가 일정한 시기가 되면 수피 외부조직으로 발달하여 줄기와 잎으로 성장하였다. 겨우살이 기주목인 상수리나무의 가지는 심재화가 진행되지 않았지만 타일로시스가 부분적으로 발달한 것은 겨우살이 endophyte의 침투영향으로 생각된다. 겨우살이 줄기의 구성세포는 도관상 가도관, 후벽세포, 방사유세포, 축방향유세포로 구성되어 있으며 활엽수로 분류되지만 도관이 분포하지 않았고 도관의 역할을하는 도관상 가도관이 있는 것으로부터 기주목 도관의 벽공과 겨우살이 가도관의 천공부가 결합하는 것으로 생각된다. 겨우살이 줄기의 구성세포 분포비율은 수령이 증가함에 따라 후벽세포의 분포비율이 높았다. 겨우살이 조직은 일반 목본식물에 비하여 유세포의 분포비율이 높고 세포내에 많은 내용물을 포함하고 있었다.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of BCL-2, BAX proteins and DNA fragmented cells in the normal human endometrium during at each menstrual cycle in order to find out whether apoptosis regulates cyclic endometrial change. Methods: Normal endometrial tissues were obtained from 40 patients, $32{\sim}45$ year of age, all with regular menstrual cycle, who were undergoing abdominal hysterectomy for myoma of uterus or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia for the period from 1992 through 1997. Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of BCL-2 and BAX protein with paraffin-embedded tissues. Results: BCL-2 was expressed on the glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells during the proliferative phase. The intensity of BCL-2 was increased predominantly on the basal layer than the functional layer in late proliferative phase. However, BCL-2 immunoreactivity was decreased in the secretory phase. BAX was expressed predominantly during the secretory phase. The intesity was increased in late secretory phase rather than early secretory phase. DNA fragmented cells were detected in a few cells at each phase. However, it was increased during the late secretory phase. Conclusion: Apoptosis-related genes, BCL-2 and BAX, may play a role in the regulation of cyclic endometrial change.

This study was performed in order to identify changes of the plasma membrane proteins in rat submandibular gland tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene [DMBA] and X-irradiation. Two kinds of tumor associated membrane proteins (protein A and B) were isolated with 3 M KCl extraction from rat submandibular gland tumors induced by DMBA and X-irradiation. To identify their antigenicities, immunoelectrophoresis and double immunodiffusion was carried out with various proteins extracted from liver, heart, skin and pancreas of adult rats and from embryonic liver, heart and skin. The rabbit antisera against the protein A did not cross-react with any of the proteins extracted from the above mentioned tissues, suggesting that protein A might be tumor specific antigen. However, the rabbit antisera against protein B was precipitated with proteins extracted from the liver of adult and embryonic rats. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of these two proteins (A and B) showed that protein A was a dimer with molecular weights of 69,000 and 35,000 dalton, whereas protein B was a monomer with molecular weight of 50,000 dalton.
