A sperm factor(s) for oocyte activation during fertilization has not been clearly identified. In this study to elucidate an oocyte activation factor(s), mouse sperm were sonicated and ultra-filtered with a 30 kilo-daltons (KD) cutoff membrane and the ultra-filtrate was then sequentially fractionated over Suporose 12 column and Superdex column, The recovered fractions were micro-injected into Mⅱmouse oocytes and second polar body formation (PBF) was examined. Suporose fraction RV2.10 prepared from sperm extract significantly increased PBF. Of Superdex fractions re-separated from Suporose fraction RV2.10, fraction RV2.12 also had the strongest PBF activity. By analyzing with micro-reverse phase column (URPC), the Superdex fraction RV2.12 appeared to be glutamic acid. In microinjection test, glutamic acid significantly increased PBF. This study suggests that glutamic acid should be a type of sperm factor for second polar body formation related to oocyte activation.

마늘의 이용성 증진에 관한 기초자료와 제품의 품질 향상에 기여하고자 마늘 oleoresin 제조과정 중의 휘발성 향기성분의 변화를 알기 위해 휘발성 향기성분을 4가지 용매로 추출하여 농축한 후, 가스크로마토그래피와 질량 분석 검출기 (mass selective detector)를 이용하여 polar(Supelcowax-$10^{TM}$)와 nonpolar capillary column(HP-5)에서 각각 분리, 동정하였다. 용매에 따른 oreoresin 추출을 보면 methanol을 사용하여 추출한 경우가 가장 peak area가 높았고 그외 acetone, methy acetate, hexane을 사용한 경우는 비슷하였다 Polar capillary column에서 총 41종이 분류되었고, pyran 및 그 유도체 물질 13종, 황화합물이 11여종, furan 및 그 유도체들이 6종, alcohol류 2종 분류되었고 그밖에도 2종의 heterocyclic compound가 각각 확인되었다. Nonpolar capillary column에서는 32종의 향기성분이 동정되었고, pyran및 그 유도체물질이 11종, 황화합물 11여 종, acid류 5종, pyran 및 그 유도체들이 3종 그밖에 eugenol 등이 나타났다. Nonpolar 보다 polar에서 휘발성성분의 다량 검출되었으며, 대부분의 휘발성 향기성분이 극성이 강한 methanol에서 잘 추출되었지만 마늘의 주요휘발성 성분인 황화합물 즉, 3,3'-thiobis 1-propene, methyl 2-propenyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, di-2-propenyl -trisulfide, 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid는 비극성용매인 methyl acetate와 hexane에서 잘 추출되었다.

This study was carried out to elucidate whether sperm contain a factor inducing second polar body extrusion and to search for an effective collection method of the sperm factor Thus, sperm extract, dialyzed sperm-extract or liquid chromatographic fractions of sperm extract was microinjected into ovulated oocytes. And the microinjected oocytes were incubated for 24 hours to investigate about the extrusion of second polar body. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Sperm extract significantly increased the second polar body extrusion. 2. Sperm extract showed five major fractions at retention volumes (RVs) 1.25, 1.37, 1.84, 2.10 and 2.67ml after separation with Superose 12 column. These sperm extract fractions did not significantly increase the second polar body extrusion. 3. Dialyzed sperm-extract significantly increased the second polar body extrusion 4. Dialyzed sperm-extract showed three maior fractions at RVs 1.88, 2.14 and 2.77ml after separation with Superose 12 column. Of these fractions, the fraction RV2.14 significantly increased the second polar body extrusion. In conclusion, sperm extract contained a factor inducing the second polar body extrusion and the factor was contained largely in fraction RV2.14 after dialysis and liquid chromatographic fractionation of sperm extract.

Temperature, salinity, alkalinity, pH, nutrient, chlorophyll, and iron were measured within the upper 250m water column around the Antarctic Polar Front in the Scotia Sea from late November to early December 2001. Temperature and salinity showed a rapid change across the Polar Front, and the temperature minimum layer existed only in the southern area of the Polar Front. Total $CO_2$ and nutrient concentrations were relatively high and increased rapidly with water depth in the southern area of the Polar Front, which was resulted from upwelling of the Antarctic deep water containing high concentrations of total $CO_2$ and nutrient. ${\Delta}C:{\Delta}N:{\Delat}P$ ratios measured in the norhem and southern areas of the Polar Front were 75:11.4:1 and 84:12.5:1, respectively, which were lower than the Redfield ratio. ${\Delta}Si:{\Delta}N$ ratio (3.65) measured in the southern area of the Polar Front was two times higher than that (1.95) in the northern area. These two ratios were higher than the ratio (1.0) measured in the temperate and tropical oceans. Chlorophyll concentrations were extremely high in the area of $59^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}S$, which was attributed to favorable environmental conditions for phytoplankton growth in this area, such as sufficient iron, high water column stability, and high silicate concentration.

Untargeted metabolomics is a useful tool for drug development focusing on novel chemotherapeutic and chemopreventative agents against cancer cells. In recent years, quadrupole time of flight liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (Q-TOF LC/MS)-based untargeted metabolomic approaches have gained importance to evaluate the effect of these agents at the molecular level. The researchers working on cell culture studies still do not apply standardized methodologies on sample preparation for untargeted metabolomics approaches. In this study, the rough and wet lysis techniques performed on MCF-7 breast cancer cells were compared with each other via the Q-TOF LC/MS-based metabolomic approach. The C18 and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) columns were used for the separation of the metabolites in MCF-7 cell lysates. 505 peaks were detected through the HILIC column and 551 peaks were found through the C18 column for the wet lysis technique. This situation supported by the base peak chromatograms showed that the wet lysis technique allowed us to extract higher number of non-polar metabolites. Almost equal number of metabolites was found for the C18 and HILIC columns (697 peaks for the HILIC column and 695 peaks for the C18 column) when the rough lysis technique was used. However, the intensities of polar metabolites were higher for the rough lysis technique on base peak chromatograms for both the HILIC and C18 columns. Although cell lysis technique, which is the first step in the sample preparation for cell culture studies, does not cause dramatic differences in the number of the detected metabolite peaks, it affects the polar and non-polar metabolite ratio significantly. Therefore, it must be considered carefully especially for in vitro drug development studies.

하수에서 배양된 미세조류인 Chlorella vulgaris AG10032, Ankistrodesmus gracilis SAG278-2, Scenedesmus quadricauda AG10308은 오폐수에서 질소 및 인 제거가 우수하고 높은 지질을 함유하고 있어서, 오폐수에서 바이오연료나 기타 바이오 기반의 자원 회수에 유용한 생물자원이다. 오폐수 환경에는 다양한 인의 농도가 존재하는데, 인의 농도 특히 인 결핍조건에 따른 조류의 지방산 특성에 대한 정보가 매우 제한적이다. 이는 표준 분석방법이 정립되어 있지 않은데 일부 기인한다. 본 연구에서는 미생물의 지방산을 분석하는데 일반적으로 사용되는 무극성 컬럼법과 식물성 지질을 분석하는데 널리 사용되는 극성 WAX-type 컬럼 GC-FID 방법의 미세조류 지방산 분석 성능을 비교 분석하였고, 하수배양 조류에 적용이 보다 적절한 방법을 이용해서 인 결핍에 의한 조류 지방산 생성특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 그 결과 무극성 컬럼 방법에 비해 극성 WAX-type 컬럼 GC 방법이 $C_{18:3}$ 지방산과 같은 고불포화지방산을 규명하는 분석능력이 우수하였고, 실제 하수배양에서 배양 분리된 미세조류의 지방산 분석에 보다 정확한 결과를 보이었다. 이 WAX-type 컬럼 방법으로 인 결핍 영향을 분석한 결과, 미세조류의 지방산 조성과 생성량은 인의 농도 변화에 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 밝히었다.

Spatial variation of heavy metal accumulation was investigated in Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum collected from several tidal flats. Sediment metal levels varied highly among the sites, which was attributed primarily to differences in Fe and organic carbon contents and in part to gain size. Significant differences in metal concentrations also were found in the clam tissue among the different sampling sites. However, except for a few metals (Mn, Zn, Pb), which showed some elevation, the variations in the clam tissue were not related to the variations in the sediment. This is likely because most metals in filter-feeding herbivores such as R. philippinarum accumulated as a result of feeding on suspended particles such as phytoplankton and organic detritus in the water column, not in bottom sediment. In addition, tissue weight for a specific shell size varied significantly among the sites, and increased tissue mass indicating a good nutritive condition likely caused a subsequent dilution of body metals leading to reduced weight-specific concentrations of some metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Co).

서로 다른 표면적을 가지고 $185^{\circ}C$에서 가열한 대두유 및 돈지의 극성지질함량 및 극성지질의 종류를 column chromatography와 HPSEC-ELSD를 이용하여 분석하였다. HPSEC 분석에 사용된 column은 두 종류 ($100\;{\AA}$과 $500\;{\AA}$)의 GPC용 column들을 사용하였으며 이동상으로는 THF를 사용하였다. 시료유지의 극성지질 분획으로부터 HPSEC를 이용하여 유리지방산, diglyceride, triglyceride monomer, triglyceride dimer, triglyceride polymer 등이 분리 확인되었다. Triglyceride monomer, triglyceride dimer와 triglyceride polymer는 가열시간 및 가열표면적이 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 증가함을 보였으나 diglyceride와 유리지방산의 경우에는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 한편 triglyceride polymer (r>0.93), triglyceride dimer (r>0.97)와 triglyceride monomer (r>0.95)는 극성지질함량과 높은 상관 관계를 나타낸 반면 diglyceride (r<0.68)와 유리지방산 (r<0.76) 경우에는 낮은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로부터 가열산화 중 생성되는 주요 산화물은 triglyceride 이상의 분자량을 갖는 고분자 물질이라는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The objective of this study was to identify a follicular fluid ingredient inhibiting the cumulus oocyte complex (COC) expansion. Thus, follicular fluid or liquid chromatographic fractions of follicular fluid was supplemented in COC culture medium. And COCs were incubated for 48 hours to investigate about cumulus expansion and also the first polar body extrusion. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The fluid of medium follicle significantly inhibited the COC expansion. 2. The fluid of large follicle inhibited the COC expansion. 3. Follicular fluid showed six major fractions at retention volumes (RVs) 1.83, 1.91, 2.15, 2.34, 2.53 and 2.74 ml after separation with Superose 12 column. Of the major fractions, fractions RV2.15, RV2.34, RV2.53 and RV2.74 inhibited both COC expansion and polar body extrusion. Especially, fractions of RV2.15 and RV2.53 significantly inhibited COC expansion, oocyte denudation and polar body extrusion. In conclusion, porcine follicular fluid contained a COC expansion inhibiting ingredient (CEI) that may be contained largely in fractions RV2.15 and RV2.53. And CEI may inhibit oocyte maturation by inhibition of oocyte denudation and extrusion of the first polar body.
