The effect of citric acid and sodium chlorite(NaClO$_2$) mixtures at 100, 200 and 500 ppd(w/v) on the growth of microorganisms from broiler thigh surface was investigated. Absorbance and aerobic plate counts(APC) of inoculated nutrient broth refrigerated storage at 4∼5$^{\circ}C$ were measured after each additive was added. APC on thigh surface after immersion in each selected solution was enumerated during storage at 4∼5$^{\circ}C$ Absorbance of all citric acid and sodium chlorite mixture(0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0, w/w) except 200 and 500 ppm of 100:0 at Day 0 were lower than the control during storage (p<0.05). And higher concentration of mixture tended to have lower absorbance. APC on thigh surface treated with 500 ppm citric acid and sodium chlorite mixture at 50 : 50 and 75 : 25 ratio were lower than others (p<0.05). Similar antimicrobial activity of additives was found in nutrient broth and on broiler thigh surface.

This study was to investigate the inhibiting effect of electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water with/without freezing point depressing agents on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of peeled chestnut. 0.85% sodium chloride, 0.5% citron and 0.5% lemon juice were used to freezing point depressing agents. The content of total phenolics was 13.36 mg% at the earlier stage of storage, and then suddenly increased at around 8∼1ldays. At the 11th day, PPO activity of untreated chestnut was 1,152 units, that was higher than any ethers. EO water adding lemon and citron juice showed synergistic effects on the enzyme inhibition, and their PPD activities were 143.3 and 180.22 units after 4 weeks, respectively. Sensory analysis showed that acceptance of peeled chestnuts was dependent on color and taste, which was related to PPO activity and sweetness. The peeled chestnut treated with EO water added citron or lemon juice tended to show the highest score fur acceptance.

In this study, we isolated two species of bacteria for the powerful biotrasnformation of ginsenosides from Kimchi and human feces. Using biochemical tests and 16s rRNA sequencing, the selected strains were identified as Latobacillusplantarum (CKDHC0801) and Lactobacillussakei (CKDHC0802). Changes in cell growth and pH were examined in red ginseng. CKDHC 0801 and CKDHC 0802 reached their maximum growth phase after 24 hr and 48 hr, respectively, whereas the combined culture of CKDHC 0801 and CKDHC 0802 showed higher cell growth than bacterial strain alone. During fermentation of CKDHC 0801 and the combined culture, the pH values decreased from 5.2 to 4.2 after 24 hr, but CKDHC 0802 reached pH of 4.2 after 3day. The identities of ginsenosides were biotransferred from high molecular (Rg1 and Rb2) to low molecular (Rg3, Rg5, Rk1, PPD) by fermentation of both bacteria. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrate that CKDHC 0801 and CKDHC 0802 could be used to enhance to effects of red ginseng.

Prevalence of infectious agents, including Brucella abortus (BA), Mycobacterium bovis (MB), bovine leukemia virus (BLV), M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MP), Neospora caninum (NC) and Toxoplasma gondii (TG), was investigated in all the cattle raised in Ulleung island during 2007~2010. For BA, the prevalences in head and farm were 8.1% (44/545) and 5.5% (4/73) in 2007, all negative in 2008~2009, and 0.5% (4/774) and 1.7% (1/58) in 2010, respectively. For MB, no sample was positive by PPD or ELISA in 2007~2010. For BLV and MP, no sample was positive by ELISA in 2007~2009. For NC, seroprevalences in head and farm were 0.2% (1/545) and 1.4% (1/73), respectively, in 2007 and all negative in 2008~2009. For TG, seroprevalences in head and farm were 17.6% (97/552) and 54.8% (34/62) by ELISA in 2009. By regions, the seroprevalences of TG in Ulleung-eup, Seo-myeon and Buk-myeon were 26.0%, 9.8% and 16.7%, respectively, which had significant differences (P<0.0001). Tiger cattle were more resistant to TG infection than Hanwoo. The seroprevalence of TG in summer was higher than in autumn. The seroprevalence of TG in cows was higher than in oxen. The seroprevalence of TG in cattle was increased with age. In conclusion, this study indicates that the prevalences of six infectious diseases, except for TG which are widely spread, are relatively low in cattle reared in Ulleung island.

A novel hydrophilic poly (vinylidene fluoride)/poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PVDF/PPTA) blend membrane was prepared by in situ polycondensation of p-phenylene diamine (PPD) and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) in PVDF solution with subsequent nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process. For comparison, conventional solution blend membrane was prepared directly by adding PVDF powder into PPTA polycondensation solution. Blend membranes were characterized by means of viscometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The effects of different blending methods on membrane performance including water contact angle (WCA), mechanical strength, anti-fouling and anti-compression properties were investigated and compared. Stronger interactions between PVDF and PPTA in in situ blend membranes were verified by viscosity and XPS analysis. The incorporation of PPTA accelerated the demixing rate and caused the formation of a more porous structure in blend membranes. In situ blend membranes exhibited better hydrophilicity and higher tensile strength. The optimal values of WCA and tensile strength were $65^{\circ}$ and 34.1 MPa, which were reduced by 26.1% and increased by 26.3% compared with pure PVDF membrane. Additionally, antifouling properties of in situ blend membranes were greatly improved than pure PVDF membrane with an increasing of flux recovery ratio by 25%. Excellent anti-compression properties were obtained in in situ blend membranes with a stable pore morphology. The correlations among membrane formation mechanism, structure and performance were also discussed.

Greenhouse pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of lime, fly ash and ash(from rice straw) on the cadmium and lead translocation from soil to radish. The soils with low metal contents(Cd 1.52 ppd and Pb 25.37ppm) were prepared and high metal contents (Cd 8.99 rpm and Pb 50.81ppm) were prepared and amended with 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.095, 2.055 each of lime, fly ash and ash. Radishes(Raphanus satiuus) were cultivated and cropped on the soils during 25, 50 and 75 days after sprout, and then cadmium and lead contents of radishes were analyzed by roots and tops. The results obtained are as follows. 1. Lime and ash were effective in raising the soil pH, but fly ash was not effective. 2. The growth of radishes were not impaired by the cadmium and lead contamination but, impaired by soil pH 7.5 or more. 3. Cadmium was accumulated very strongly in radishes and the greater concentration was found in tops than roots, but lead showed no evidence of accumulation in radishes. 4. In general, when the concentrations of lime and ash in soils increased, the uptake of cadmium and lead by radishes decreased, and lime was more effective than ash, while fly ash revealed no effect of reducing the translocation of cadmium and lead from soils to radishes. 5. The uptake of cadmium by radishes decreased more effectively than lead and the uptake of Cd or Pb by radishes grown in the soils with high metal contents decreased more effectively than low metal con tents. 6. Cadmium and lead contents of radishes were negatively correlated with soil pH values and the relationship in cadmium content was stronger than that in lead content.

Recently, the growth of applications and services over high-speed Internet increase, ATM networks as wide area back-bone has been a major solution. The conventional TCP suite is still the standard protocol used to support upper application on current Internet and uses a window based protocol for flow control in the transport layer. When TCP data uses the UBR service in ATM layer, the control method is also buffer management. If a cell is discarded in ATM layer. one whole packet of TCP will be lost. Which is responsible for most TCP performance degradation and do not offer sufficiently QoS. To solve this problem, Several dropping strategies, such as Tail Drop, EPD, PPO, SPD, FBA, have been proposed to improve the TCP performance over ATM. In this paper, to improve the TCP fairness of end to end, we propose a packet dropping scheme algorithm using two fixed threshold. Under similar condition, we compared our proposed scheme with other dropping strategies. Although the number of VC is increased, simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can allocate more fairly each VC than other schemes.

Hydrophilic and high modulus PPTA molecules were incorporated into PVDF matrix via the in situ polymerization of PPD and TPC in PVDF solution. PPTA/PVDF/NWF blend membrane was prepared through the immersion precipitation phase inversion method and nonwoven coating technique. The membrane integrated technology including PPTA/PVDF/NWF blend membrane and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was employed to treat the polyester/viscose spunlace nonwoven process wastewater. During the consecutive running of six months, the effects of membrane integrated technology on the COD, ammonia nitrogen, suspended substance and pH value of water were studied. The results showed that the removal rate of COD, ammonia nitrogen and suspended substance filtered by PPTA/PVDF blend membrane was kept above 90%. The pH value of the permeate water was about 7.1 and the relative water flux of blend membrane remained above 90%. After the deep treatment of RO membrane, the permeate water quality can meet the water circulation requirement of spunlace process.

Background: Compound K (CK) is among the protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenoside group, which produces multiple pharmacological effects. Herein, we examined the effects of CK on muscle atrophy under hyperlipidemic conditions along with its pro-myogenic effects. Further, the molecular pathways underlying the effects of CK on skeletal muscle have been justified. Methods: C2C12 myotubes were treated with palmitate and CK. C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated using CK for 4-5 days. For the in vivo experiments, CK was administered to mice fed on a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. The protein expression levels were analyzed using western blotting analysis. Target protein suppression was performed using small interfering (si) RNA transfection. Histological examination was performed using Jenner-Giemsa and H&E staining techniques. Results: CK treatment attenuated ER stress markers, such as eIF2a phosphorylation and CHOP expression and impaired myotube formation in palmitate-treated C2C12 myotubes and skeletal muscle of mice fed on HFD. CK treatment augmented AMPK along with autophagy markers in skeletal muscle cells in vitro and in vivo experiments. AMPK siRNA or 3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor, abrogated the impacts of CK in C2C12 myotubes. CK treatment augmented p38 and Akt phosphorylation, leading to an enhancement of C2C12 myogenesis. However, AMPK siRNA abolished the effects of CK in C2C12 myoblasts. Conclusion: These findings denote that CK prevents lipid-induced skeletal muscle apoptosis via AMPK/autophagy-mediated attenuation of ER stress and induction of myoblast differentiation. Therefore, we may suggest the use of CK as a potential therapeutic approach for treating muscle-wasting conditions associated with obesity.
