양송이(mushroom : Agaricus bisporus)로부터 polyphenol oxidase를 추출하여 4종류의 polyphenol 화합물과 반응시켜 양송이 효소 갈변반응생성물을 얻고, 이들 갈변물질들에 대하여 B. subtilis $H17(rec^+)$과 $M45(rec^-)$를 이용한 spore rec-assay, S. typhimurium TA98과 TA100을 이용한 Ames test 그리고 E. coli PQ37을 이용한 SOS chromotest를 실시하여 돌연변이원성 및 항돌연변이원성을 검토하였다. Spore rec-assay에서는 4가지 갈변물질 모두 B. subtilis $H17(rec^+)$과 $M45(rec^-)$ 두 균주에 대하여 생육저지대의 차이가 없었으므로 갈변물질 자체로서는 돌연변이원성이 없는 것으로 나타났으며, MNNG에 대한 항돌연변이원성 실험에서는 시료 모두 돌연변이에 대하여 억제활성을 나타내었으며 그중 HHQ-MEBRP는 가장 강한 억제활성을 나타내었다. Ames test에서는 4가지 시료 모두 돌연변이원성은 인정되지 않았으며, 항돌연변이원성 실험에서는 시료 $300\;{\mu}l$ 첨가시 $B({\alpha})P(20\;{\mu}g)$에 대하여 S. typhimurium TA98 및 TA100 두 균주에서 Ca-MEBRP와 HHQ-MEBRP는 $91{\sim}95%$, HCa-MEBRP와 Py-MEBRP는 $50{\sim}80%$의 억제활성을 나타내었다. $Trp-P-1(2\;{\mu}g)$에 대해서도 4가지 시료 모두 억제활성을 나타내었으며, HHQ-MEBRP는 TA98과 TA100 두 균주 모두에서 99%, HCa-MEBRP도 96%의 강한 억제활성을 나타내었다. SOS chromotest에서도 spore rec-assay와 Ames test에서와 같이 시료 자체의 돌연변이원성은 없는 것으로 나타났으며 4NQO와 MMC와 같은 돌연변이원물질에 의한 SOS-inducing function에 대하여 억제효과가 있었으므로 항돌연변이원성이 있음이 확인되었다.

Processing of traditional herbal medicine is one of the pharmaceutical technique in oriental medicine. Most frequently used processing method in oriental medicine are roasting and steaming. In this studies, to elucidate the pharmacological transformation of traditional herbal medicine by means of processing them, Ginseng Radix (root of Panax ginseng, Araliaceae) was used as a sample. Processed ginseng radix (SGR, Sun Ginseng) was prepared by steaming of roots of white ginseng (GR) for 3 hours at $120^{\circ}C$. The biological activities of methanol extract of GR and SGR were investigated. According to DPPH radical scavenging effects, and inhibitory effects of xanthine oxidase and AAPH induced hemolysis, PGR exhibited more effective than those of GR in vitro. And, the antifatigue effect of GR and SGR were investigated using a weight-loading forced swimming test by monitoring swimming times and prolonged intensity exercise model rats by measuring blood biochemical parameters. GR and SGR were significantly prolonged swimming times in 8% body weight ratio loaded mice. Also, they had the inhibitory effects on the decrease of blood glucose levels, the elevation of serum creatinine, lactic acid and free fatty acid, and lactic dehydrogenase activities in forces swimming rats with 1% of the body weight attached to the neck for 3 hours. SGR was more excellent than GR on these effect. Also, these effects were transformed to the n-butanol fraction of methanol extract of SGR. From these results, it can be considered that SGR has antifatigue effect.

Bacteriospermia is a frequent finding in fresh boar semen and can result in detrimental effects on semen quality and longevity. The objectives of this study was to evaluate types of bacterial contaminants in porcine fresh semen and the reducing effect of antibiotic and density gradient with percoll on the bacterial contaminants. Fresh semen was collected by gloved-hand method into a pre-warmed($37^{\circ}C$) thermostable bottle, and was inoculated onto blood agar and MacConkey agar, respectively. After incubated for 48 hour, 7.5% $CO_2$ at $37^{\circ}C$, bacterial colonies were selected and identified by Gram staining, oxidase test, catalase test and finally identified using API kits and Vitek system. Aerobic culture yielded a variety of bacteria from different genera. The most prevalent contaminant of fresh semen were Leclecia adecarboxylata, Acineobacter banmanni, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus cohni spp urealyticus, Proteus mirabilis. Most of identified bacteria were Gram(-) and non-pathogenic bacteria. It seems that bacterial contaminants in fresh semen were seem originated from multiple sources at the stud/farm, and were from animal and non-animal origins. Gentamicin treatment did not eliminate the bacterial contaminants completely but 3 step-density gradient with percoll completely removed the bacterial contaminants in fresh semen. Therefore, future study is necessary to prove that density gradient method with percoll can eliminate bacteria in fresh semen without significantly affecting sperm viability or function.

The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, is a major plant-parasitic nematode that has caused important economic losses to Korea's soybean production. Four species of cyst nematodes, H. schachtii, H. glycines, H. trifolii, and H. sojae, all belong to schachtii group are coexist in field soil in Korea. The rapid identification of the nematode is crucial for preventing crop damage and in decision making for controlling this nematode. This study aimed to develop a species-specific primer set for quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay of H. glycines. The specific primer set (HGF1 and HGR1) for H. glycines was designed based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of mitochondrial DNA. After optimization, it is possible to identify the H. glycines using a qPCR assay with DNA extracted from a single cyst and single second-stage juvenile (J2). The specificity was confirmed by the absence of SYBR fluorescent signals of three other Heterodera species. A serial dilution of DNA extracted from a single cyst was obtained for the sensitivity test. The result showed that the standard curve of the test had a highly significant linearity between DNA concentration and Ct value (R² = 0.996, slope = -3.49) and that the detection limit concentration of DNA of the primer set was 10 pg of DNA per reaction. Our findings suggested that H. glycines could be distinguished from H. sojae and other Heterodera species when a qPCR assay is used with a specific primer set.

The protective effect of pig skin gelatin water extracts (PSW) and the low molecular weight hydrolysates of PSW generated via enzymatic hydrolysis with Flavourzyme® 1000L (LPSW) against scopolamine-induced impairment of cognitive function in mice was determined. Seventy male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g were randomly assigned to seven groups: Control (CON); scopolamine (SCO, 1 mg/kg B.W., intraperitoneally (i.p.); tetrahydroaminoacridine 10 [THA 10, tacrine; 10 mg/kg B.W. per oral (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.)]; PSW 10 (10 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); PSW 40 (40 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 100 (100 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 400 (400 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.). All treatment groups, except CON, received scopolamine on the day of the experiment. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity of LPSW 400 at 1 mg/mL was 154.14 μM Trolox equivalent. Administration of PSW and LPSW for 15 weeks did not significantly affect on physical performance of mice. LPSW 400 significantly increased spontaneous alternation, reaching the level observed for THA and CON. The latency time of animals receiving LPSW 400 was higher than that of mice treated with SCO alone in the passive avoidance test, whereas it was shorter in the water maze test. LPSW 400 increased acetylcholine (ACh) content and decreased ACh esterase activity (p<0.05). LPSW 100 and LPSW 400 reduced monoamine oxidase-B activity. These results indicated that LPSW at 400 mg/kg B.W. is a potentially strong antioxidant and contains novel components for the functional food industry.

한국전통차로 알려진 녹차, 감잎, 홍화 및 두충 열수추출물이 납투여된 흰쥐의 유해 활성산소 대사에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 체중 kg당 25 mg의 납을 매주 1회 경구 투여 하였다. 녹차, 감잎, 홍화 및 두충 열수추출물은 매일 일정시간에 체중 kg당 1.26 g 수준이 되도록 4주간 경구 투여 하여 사육한 결과 간조직 중 과산화지질 함량은 납 단독투여군이 정상군에 비하여 유의적으로 증가되었으며 한국전통차 급여시 과산화지질 생성을 현저하게 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 간조직 중의 CYP 함량과 AD 활성은 납 투여시 유의적으로 감소되었으나 각각의 열수추출물 급여시 납투여로 억제된 활성이 회복됨으로써 한국전통차 급여가 CYP 함량과 산화적 디메틸화율을 증가시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 납투여로 증가된 간조직의 XO와 SOD의 활성은 녹차, 감잎, 홍화 및 두충 열수추출물 급여시 활성이 유의적으로 억제되었다. MAO 활성은 납 투여시 정상군에 비하여 유의적이지는 않으나 증가되었으며 녹차와 감잎 열수추출물 급여로 활성 증가가 현저하게 억제되었다. 간조직 중 CAT 활성은 납투여시 약 3.3배 증가되었는데 감잎군 37%, 녹차군 34%, 두충군 30%, 홍화군 28%, 순으로 억제되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 GSH-Px와 GST 활성 및 글루타티온 함량은 정상군에 비하여 납 단독투여시 유의적인 감소를 보였으나 한국전통차 급여로 회복되었다. GR 활성은 실험군간에 변화가 관찰되지 않았으나 G6PD 활성은 납투여로 증가된 활성이 실험식이 급여시 유의적으로 감소되었다.
