본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 특산식물이며, 희귀멸종위기식물인 산개나리의 유전자원 보존 및 복원을 위한 생육 환경 특성을 구명하기 위한 것으로, 서로 다른 광 조건을 가진 북한산 산개나리 개체군의 생장 및 생리적 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 산개나리 각 개체군의 광량은 전광의 10%에서 78%의 범위로 매우 다양하였다. 북한산 산개나리의 잎 길이, 잎 폭, 잎 면적 및 건중량은 광량이 높을수록 증가하였으며, 잎 건중량과 면적의 비도 광량이 높을수록 증가하였다. 산개나리 잎의 엽록소 a와 b의 함량과 카로테노이드 함량 모두 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았으며, 총 엽록소 함량과 카로테노이드 함량의 비는 전광의 10% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 산개나리 개체군별 광합성 속도는 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군이 전광의 10% 개체군보다 2배 이상 높았으며, 기공전도도, 증산속도, 암호흡 속도 및 순양자수율도 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 산개나리 잎에서 측정한 총 비구조 탄수화물 함량은 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 전광의 10% 광량을 가진 개체군보다 1.5배 이상 높았으며, 총 수용성 당 함량도 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 자생지에서 생장하는 산개나리의 생장과 생리적 특성은 광량과 정의 상관을 가지므로, 낮은 광량에서 자라는 산개나리 개체군의 생장과 생리적 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 광량이 우선적으로 고려되어야 한다.

Unfavorable weather and soil conditions reduce rice yield and land and water productivity, aggravating existing encounters of poverty and food insecurity. These conditions are foreseen to worsen with climate change and with the unceasing irrational human practices that progressively debilitate productivity despite global appeals for more food. Our understanding of plant responses to abiotic stresses is advancing and is complex, involving numerous critical processes - each controlled by several genetic factors. Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in signaling, response and adaptation, and in some cases the genes involved, is advancing. Moreover, the genetic diversity being unveiled within cultivated rice and its wild relatives is providing ample resources for trait and gene discovery, and this is being scouted for rice improvement using modern genomics and molecular tools. Development of stress tolerant varieties is now being fast-tracked through the use of DNA markers and advanced breeding strategies. Large numbers of drought, submergence and salt tolerant varieties were commercialized over recent years in South and Southeast Asia and more recently in Africa. These varieties are making significant changes in less favorable areas, transforming lives of smallholder farmers - progress considered incredulous in the past. The stress tolerant varieties are providing assurance to farmers to invest in better management of their crops and the ability to adjust their cropping systems for even higher productivity and more income, sparking changes analogous to that of the first green revolution, which previously benefited only favorable irrigated and rainfed areas. New breeding tools using markers for multiple stresses made it possible to develop more resilient, higher yielding varieties to replace the aging and obsolete varieties still dominating these areas. Varieties with multiple stress tolerances are now becoming available, providing even better security for farmers and lessening their production risks even in areas affected by complex and overlapping stresses. The progress made in these less favorable areas triggered numerous favorable changes at the national and regional levels in several countries in Asia, including adjusting breeding and dissemination strategies to accelerate outreach and enabling changes at higher policy levels, creating a positive environment for faster progress. Exploiting the potential of these less productive areas for food production is inevitable, to meet the escalating global needs for more food and sustained production systems, at times when national resources are shrinking while demand for food is mounting. However, the success in these areas requires concerted efforts to make use of existing genetic resources for crop improvement and establishing effective evaluation networks, seed production systems, and seed delivery systems to ensure faster outreach and transformation.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality of nutrient intakes of the hemodialysis patients (26 men and 23 women) according to the socioeconomic status by 3-day dietary recall in Daejeon city and Chungnam area, Korea. Mean age of the subjects was 50.7 yrs and BMI was 22.0 $\pm$ 0.4 kg/$m^2$. Education level was divided into two groups ($\leq$ 9 years： LE group, 9 years： HE group), and monthly family income level was divided into three groups (< 500,000 won: LI group, 500,000-1,499,999 won: MI group, $\geq$ 1,500,000 won : HI group). The data were analyzed by Student t-test and Oneway ANOVA using SPSS 9.0 version at p < 0.05 level. Intakes of energy, carbohydrates, cholesterol, potassium, thiamin and riboflavin were significantly higher in HE group than in LE group (p < 0.05). Intakes of all the nutrients except protein and phosphorus were less than Korean RDA, and INQs (Index of Nutritional Quality) of most nutrients were lower than 1.0 but cholesterol, phosphorus. thiamin and niacin being over 1.0 in HE group. MAR (Mean adequacy ratio) of all the nutrients (e.g., energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin) was significantly higher in HE group (0.61 $\pm$ 0.04) than in LE group (0.48 $\pm$ 0.03) at p = 0.036. Intakes of energy, protein (total, animal and plant), fat, cholesterol, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, thiamin and riboflavin were also significantly higher in HI group than in LI and MI group (p < 0.05). Daily intakes of most nutrients were less than Korean RDA except protein ed phosphorus in HI poop, and INQs of thiamin, niacin and phosphorus were higher than 1.0, while those of calcium, iron, vitamin A and riboflavin were lower than 1.0. MAR of energy and 9 nutrients was significantly higher in HI group (0.70 $\pm$ 0.04) than in LI group (0. 56 0.04) and MI poop (0.47 $\pm$ 0.03) at p = 0.000. In conclusion, quality of nutrient intakes, especially energy and protein, was significantly influenced by socioeconomic status such as education and monthly income (p < 0.05). This result suggests that it would be very helpful to develop nutritional education programs considering hemodialysis patients' education levels, and to improve public supports (e.g., medical insurance system, low-rate lease system of dialysis equipments, etc.) focusing on the patients' family income levels f3r their better nutrition and health.

미생물을 이용한 하수처리의 경우 여러 요인(미생물 특성, 원수의 성상, 운전조건)의 영향을 받으며 복잡한 관계를 갖고 운영하게 되는데 이런 공정에 나노입자의 유입은 분명 공정의 안정성 및 효율성에 영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 교내 하수 플랜트에서 활성슬러지를 채취하여 각각의 균주에 최적화된 배지에 배양시킨 뒤, 배양된 미생물이 각각 나노물질과 나노이온 상태일 때 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 활성슬러지에 존재하는 대표 미생물 중에 그람양성균인 Bacillus와 그람음성균인 Pseudomonas, E.coli를 대상 균주로 선택하여 ZnO, $TiO_2$ 두 가지 나노물질에 의한 독성 영향을 비교하였다. 동일한 농도의 나노물질에서 그람양성균인 Bacillus균의 평균 성장 저해율은 60% 이상이고, 그람음성균인 Pseudomonas의 경우는 평균 성장 저해율이 10% 미만으로 나타났다. 따라서 나노물질에 대한 독성은 그람양성균이 그람음성균보다 높은 것으로 보여지는데 그 이유는, 세포벽 구조, 세포벽 단백질 구성성분, 세포의 생리기능, 물질대사 등의 차이로 그람양성균이 나노물질에 훨씬 민감한 경향을 나타내기 때문인 것으로 보여진다. 그리고 ZnO와 $TiO_2$ 나노물질의 농도가 같을 때 미생물 성장에 미치는 영향은 ZnO가 평균적으로 3배 정도 높았는데 이것은 ZnO 나노물질의 독성이 $TiO_2$ 보다 크다고 볼 수 있다.

This present study was designed to screen medicinal plants for the treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. The inhibitory activity of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) was investigated in the water extracts of 56 species traditional medicines. Among the tested medicinal plants, E. lathyris, R. palmatum, F. rhynchonphylla, E. caryophyllata, E. pekinensis and H. syriacus were showed the strong inhibitory activity against MAO-B. Therefore, MAO-B inhibitory activity of 6 traditional medicine extracts in the different concentration (2.5, 6.5 and 12.5 ㎍/ml) was determined. The inhibitory effect of MAO-B was detected with dose dependently in 6 traditional plants extracts. E. caryophyllata and R. palmatum were showed the highest inhibitory activity, the MAO-B inhibitory activity at 2.5㎍ of herbal extract being 58% and 52%, respectively. The water extracts of 6 species were tested on antioxidant activity using radical scavenging effects against ABTS/sup +/. The water extracts of R. palmatum, E. caryphyllata, E. pekinensis and H. syriacus were showed strong antioxidant capacity at 20 ㎍ concentration. Among the 56 medicinal plants investigated, the water extracts of R. palmatum and E. caryphyllata were showed significant antioxidant capacity and MAO-B inhibiory activity. Therefore, R. palmatum and E. caryphyllata are expected to ameliorate the clinical symptoms in Parkinson's disease due to significant MAO-B inhibition and radical scavenging effect.

A mechanism of hair cell damage caused by noise and ototoxic agents is mediated through generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is known that most of animals have defense systems to protect against ROS, and the cochlea of inner ear in animals also has ROS defense systems including several antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione (GSH), which efficiently detoxifying ROS generated under normal condition. Steamed roots of Rehmannia glutinosa have been traditionally used in Oriental medicine for the treatment of auditory disease such as tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss as well as inflammatory diseases, hectic fever, night sweat, and headache. In the present study, we showed that the ethanol extract from steamed roots of R. giutinosa (ESRG) increased the antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT, GPX, and GR activities and GSH level in HEI-OC1 auditory cells. This extract itself did not show any significant cytotoxicity up to $50{\mu}g/ml$. Our results further support the view that ESRG is promising sources of potential antioxidants. Future studies will be aimed at investigating the effects of ESRG on the regulation of cellular mechanisms and isolating and identifying the substances responsible for the regulation of antioxidant enzyme system from the plant extracts.

Bacillus subtilis protoporphyrinogen oxidase 유전자를 Agrobacterium을 매개체로 이용하여 전이 시킨 후 cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter하에서 발현케 한 형질전환 담배를 유기하였다. 이러한 형질전환 담배의 diphenyl ether계 제초제 oxfluorfen에 대한 생리적 반응과 여러 환경 조건에서의 생장 반응을 재배종 담배와 비교하였다. Oxyfluorfen의 처리에 의해 나타나는 세포내 구성물질의 누출과 지질과산화작용은 재배종 담배에서보다 형질전환 담배에서 더 작게 이루어졌다. 형질전환 담배의 생장을 여러 온도, 광도 및 수분 조건에서 조사한 결과, 저광도와 포화수분 조건에서의 생장이 재배종 담배에 비해 다소 저하되는 현상이 나타났을 뿐 기타 조건에서의 생장은 재배종 담배의 생장과 거의 동일하였다. 따라서 B. subtilis protoporphyrinogen oxidase 유전자를 전이시켜 cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter하에서 발현케 한 형질전환 담배는 oxyfluorfen에 대해 비교적 높은 저항성을 나타내지만 형질전환에 따른 생장 변화는 크게 일어나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 이러한 형질전환 담배의 oxyfluorfen에 대한 저항성 기작에 대해서도 논의하였다.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng has been used for several decades to treat many diseases, enhancing both immunity and physical strength. Previous studies have documented the therapeutic effects of ginseng, including its anticancer, antiaging, and anti-inflammatory activities. These activities are mediated by ginsenosides present in the ginseng plant. Ginsenoside Rg3, an effective compound from red ginseng, has been shown to have antiplatelet activity in addition to its anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Platelets are important for both primary hemostasis and the repair of the vessels after injury; however, they also play a crucial role in the development of acute coronary diseases. We prepared ginsenoside Rg3-enriched red ginseng extract (Rg3-RGE) to examine its role in platelet physiology. Methods: To examine the effect of Rg3-RGE on platelet activation in vitro, platelet aggregation, granule secretion, intracellular calcium ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) mobilization, flow cytometry, and immunoblot analysis were carried out using rat platelets. To examine the effect of Rg3-RGE on platelet activation in vivo, a collagen plus epinephrine-induced acute pulmonary thromboembolism mouse model was used. Results: We found that Rg3-RGE significantly inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ mobilization in a dose-dependent manner in addition to reducing ATP release from collagen-stimulated platelets. Furthermore, using immunoblot analysis, we found that Rg3-RGE markedly suppressed mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation (i.e., extracellular stimuli-responsive kinase, Jun N-terminal kinase, p38) as well as the PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase)/Akt pathway. Moreover, Rg3-RGE effectively reduced collagen plus epinephrine-induced mortality in mice. Conclusion: These data suggest that ginsenoside Rg3-RGE could be potentially be used as an antiplatelet therapeutic agent against platelet-mediated cardiovascular disorders.
