RAPD-PCR(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs-Polymerase Chain Reation) 기법에 누에의 유전적 변이 분석을 위한 첫 단계로 다양한 GC함량을 갖는 random primer에 의해서 증폭되는 DNA 단편의 양상 및 증폭도를 비교하였다. RAPD-PCR을 위한 random primer의 증폭도는 GC함량에 의해서 상당히 영향을 받음이 분석되었다. 특히, 50% GC 함량을 갖는 primer는 그 증폭도에 따라서 4가지의 그룹으로 DNA단편이 증폭되었으며 〔bad amplification (75.5%), poor amplification (11.1%), good and excellent amplification(11.1%)〕, primer의 GC 함량이 증가할수록, 휠씬 더 좋은 증폭도를 보여주었다. 그러나, 40% GC 함량을 갖는 primer에 의해서는 어떤 증폭산물도 관찰되지 않았다. PCR을 수행하기 전에 6가지의 제한효소(BamHI, HindIII, Xbal, HaeIII, MspI, Rsal)를 사용하여 누에 genomic DNA를 처리하여 이를 주형 DNA로 하여 RAPD-PCR을 수행한 결과, 유전적 마커의 생산에 대한 효율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 60%이상의 GC함량을 갖는 random primer와 전처리한 주형 DNA의 사용은 여러 가지 다른 누에 계통의 동정 및 연관군 지도작성에 따른 경비 및 시간을 줄이는데 효율적이라고 사료된다.

To evaluate the impact of parathion on aquatic organisms, a freshwater bagrid catfish (Pseudobagrus fulvidraco) was exposed to sublethal concentrations $(63,\;95,\;190\;and\;380\;{\mu}g/L)$ of parathion, organophosphorus pesticide for 30 days. Glucose level in the serum of the bagrid catfish was significantly increased than that of control groups in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at 30 days and in the $380\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration after 10 days. Bilirubin level was significantly increased in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at the end of the experiment. After 10 days, a significant differences of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity increased in the ${\geq}190\;{\mu}g/L$ and $380\;{\mu}g/L$ groups. Though cholesterol concentration was stable, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities in serum were significantly reduced in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ at 10 days and in the $380\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at the end of the experiment. In conclusion, if P. fulvidraco was chronically exposed to ${\geq}190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration of parathion, the hematological changes may be induced due to the stress response.

Methylmercury is known to have devastating effects on the mammalian nervous system. When human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were treated with methylmercury at sublethal concentrations (6.25 uM), up-regulated genes (39) ＆ down-regulated genes (19) were identified by human 8k cDNA microarray. These genes are related with microtubule process, signal transduction pathway and cell death (apoptosis), Apoptosis-associated genes, HSP70, CDK inhibitor 1, FOS-like antigen were up-regulated and microtubule related genes like villin and dynein down-regultaed. To confirm the presence of apoptosis in cultured SH-SY5Y cells treated 6.25 and 1 uM methylmercury, we applied Annexin V-FITC assay followed by flow cytometric measurements after 6 and 24h. Studies on transcriptional and molecular effect by methylmercury may provide an insight into the neurotoxic effects of methylmercury in human neuronal cells and a possibility to develop more efficient and exact monitoring system of heavy metals as ubiquitous environmental pollutants.

Effect of mercury (Hg) toxicity on survival, growth, feed efficiency and oxygen consumption were examined in the juvenile olive flounder. Paralichthys olivaceus. Fishes were exposed to sublethal concentrations of Hg ranging from 0 to 0.13mg/L for 6 weeks. Hg reduced survival rate in a concentration and exposure period-dependent way and suddenly reduction occurred at Hg concentrations greater than 0.05mg/L after 6 weeks. Growth rate and feed efficiency also significantly decreased at greater than 0.028 and 0.05 mg/L respectively. Oxygen consumption rate was significantly decreased to 25 and 32% than that of the control at the Hg concentration of 0.05 and 0.13 mg/L respectively. These results suggest that Hg toxicity inhibit physiological function including growth, feed efficiency and oxygen consumption in the juvenile olive flounder, resulting in survival failure at high concentration.

This study was carried out to investigate nitrification in the main stream of the Naktong river for two times, 12-13 August and 23-26 September 1982. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The increase of nitrogen concentration was due to inflow of Geumho river, which was polluted by the municipal and industrial wastewater of Daegu city. 2. The rate constant of ammonia calculated for three reaches was high according to the stream flow and was eminently low in the reach from Goroung to Gangjung. (0.068-0.116 $day^{-1}$). This phenomena might be attributed to the sublethal or even lethal effect upon aquatic life by relatively low DO concentration and high heavy metal concentration. 3. DO consumption rate by nitrification was highest for the reach from Goroung to Daeam where was affected by Geumho river. (56.7-147.8%). This phenomena might be attributed to low DO concentration and high nitrogen concentration. Especially, the less stream flow was, the higher DO consumption was. And so, nitrification in the station where is low DO concentration, especially under the low flow condition, might cause more serious water quality management problem. Therefore, for the purpose of effective conservation of water quality in the Naktong river, it was suggested that We have more concern about the nitrogen compound, and more study on the nitrification phenomena.

Over the past decade, there has been global expansion in the advancement of underwater cleaning technology for ship hulls. This methodology ensures both diver safety and operational efficiency. However, recent attention has been drawn to the harmful effects of ship hull-cleaning wastewater on marine animals. It is anticipated that this wastewater may have various impacts on a wide range of organisms, potentially leading to populationand ecosystem-relevant alterations. This concern is especially significant when the wastewater affects functionally important species, such as aquaculture animals and habitat-forming species living in coastal regions, where underwater cleaning platforms are commonly established. Despite this, information on the ecotoxicological effects of this wastewater remains limited. In this mini review, we discuss the adverse effects of wastewater from in-water cleaning processes, as well as the current challenges and limitations in regulating and mitigating its potential toxicity. Overall, recent findings underscore the detrimental effects posed by sublethal levels of wastewater to the health status of aquatic animals under both acute and chronic exposure.

Kunitz-type soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) and chondroitin sulfate (A, and C type) were conjugated using sodium periodate method. And the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic properties and immunogenecity of the conjugates (Chon-A-SBTI or Chon-C-SBTI) were characterized. We expected the conjugation using chondroitin sulfate to reduce the immunogenecity and to improve the pharmacological effect. As the results, the mean molecular weight of the conjugate highly increased. After I.V. injection of the radiolabeled conjugates or native SBTI into mice, it was found that native SBTI showed rapid elimination from plasma, whereas Chon-A-SBTI and Chon-C-SBTI were slowly eliminated. Organ distribution of the two agents at 30 min after I.V. injection was different : Chon-A-SBTI or Chon-C-SBTI accumulated to a large extent in the liver (13% in Chon-A-SBTI and 16% in Chon-C-SBTI), whereas native SBTI was taken up more rapidly by the kidney (107% dose/g of tissue) and excreated into the urine (26%). In addition we evaluated the therapeutic value of the conjugates by using the sublethal septic shock model caused by pseudomonal elastase and tested the immunogenecity by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis shock (PCA). The conjugates were more effective than native SBTI against pseudomonal elastase induced septic shock in guinea pig. In case of the conjugates, the pharmacological and therapeutic effect lasted over 3 hours long. In immunogenecity test, both of the conjugates showed the reduction of their immunogenecity, especially Chon-A-SBTI looked most effective.

1. 활성 virus T-CPV에 대한 유발현상은 잠103 및 잠104어느 것이나 male$\times$ female 및 male$\times$female 처리가 높았으며, 접중농도에 있어서 male$\times$female 및 male$\times$female 처리의 H-CPV단독 유발현상은 $10^{7}$ /m1이하에서 높은 경향이었다. 2. Formalin첨식에 의한 유발현상은 잠103 및 잠104 어느 것이나 male$\times$female 및 male$\times$female가 높은 경향이 있다. 3. 냉장처리에 의한 유발현상에서도 formalin첨식의 경우와 같은 경향이 있다. 물론, 병장처리에 의하여 중장형다각체병이 유발되는 것은 전대에 접종된 occult virus가 활성화한다는 것이라 생각할 수 있으나 그 유발되는 정도는 역시 occult virus와 관계되는 유전적, 생리적 및 환경적 여러가지 요인들을 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 실제적인 저온에 의한 유발관계에서 사육환경을 지배하는 사육의 온습도, 생리적요인을 지배하는 엽질 등을 감안해야 할 것이다. 본 시험결과에서 보면 occult virus가 차대에 경란전달되어 사육중 유발요인에 따라서 활성화하는 것은 분명하다. 그러나 지금까지 occult virus를 찾아낼 수 있는 방법은 전자현미경 및 혈청학적인 기술에 의존해도 불가능하다. 따라서 잠종을 생산하는 과정에서 occult virus의 유무를 확인할 수 있는 방법은 active virus가 검출되는 나방(모아)을 대상으로 하는 경우로 제한하여 시험을 해야 할 것이다. 여기서 또한 밝혀져야 하는 것은 occult virus 경란전달과 sublethal infection에 의한 경란전달의 차이점인 것이다. 그리고 현재 우리가 보유하고 있는 품종별로 occult virus의 잠재된 상태를 유발요인별로 검토하므로서 저항성 품종육성에도 좋은 자료가 될 것으로 생각한다.
