$\varepsilon$-Polylysine에 grapefruit seed extract와 glyceride를 각각 혼합한 항균보존제의 식품부패균에 대한 항균효과를 MIC test와 실제 쌀밥에 적용하였다. 두 혼합 항균제 모두 clear zone을 나타내었으나, $\varepsilon$-polylysine과 grapefruit seed extract 혼합물이 $\varepsilon$-polylysine과 monoglyceride 혼합물보다 약 100배정도 낮은 minimum inhibitory concentration을 보였다. Glyceride 첨가제의 실험에서 Bacilius cereus와 Pseudomonas aerugines의 경우 0.1 $\mu$L/mL에서 생육이 저해된 것에 반해 Escherishia coli의 경우 15 $\mu$L/mL에 저해되어 E. coli가 이 항균제에 대하여 강한 저항성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 취반 시 glyceride 흔합항균제를 여러 농도별 (0.3%, 0.5%, 1%)로 첨가시킨 쌀밥을 72시간동안 저장하였을 때 총균수는 항균제의 농도가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 쌀밥에 E. coli를 접종하여 항균제 농도에 따른 생육억제효과를 측정한 결과 항균제 농도가 높을수록 강하게 생육을 억제하였다. 항균제가 쌀밥의 관능에 미치는 영향은 맛, 냄새, 입안에서의 조직감에서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 전체적인 기호도에서 1% 첨가군이 유의적인 차이를 보여 0.5%의 첨가가 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

It has been suggested that increased number and activity of phagocytes in periodontitis lesion results in a high degree of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite. There are few reports on the relationship between ROS and MMPs expressions in gingival fibroblast. We studied to elucidate whether and how ROS, especially nitric oxide affects the MMP expression. Human gingival fibroblasts and HTl080 cells (human fibrosarcoma sell line as reference) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10 mM HEPES, 50 mg/L gentamicin, and 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum with addition of various reactive oxygen species (ROS). Culture media conditioned by cells were examined by gelatin zymography. HT1080 cells expressed proMMP-2 and proMMP-9, but human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) produced only proMMP-2. Hydrogen peroxide upregulated MMP-9 expression in HT1080 cells, whereas in human gingival fibroblast SNP treatment showed marked increase in MMP-2 level compared to other ROS. These results suggest that the effects of ROS on MMPs expressions are cell-type specific. RT-PCR for MMP-2 and TIMP-2 m-RNA were performed using total RNA from cultured cells under the influence various kinase inhibitors. In HT1080 cells, treatment with FPTI III (Ras processing inhibitor) and LY294002 (PI3-kinase inhibitor) resulted in inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions, suggesting that Ras/P13-kinase pathway is important for MMPs expression in HT1080 cells. In gingival fibroblasts, treatment with FPTI III and PDTC (NF-kB inhibitor) showed marked decrease in MMP-2 regardless of the of SNP , suggesting that Ras/NF-kB could be the key pathway for NO-induced MMP-2 expression in gingival fibroblasts. This study showed that ROS, especially nitric oxide, could be the critical mediator of periodontal disease progression through control of MMP-2 expression in gingival fibroblasts possibly via Ras/NF-kB pathway.

The quality characteristics of kochujang added with additives of different ratios of rice-nuruk (at 1:0.7, 1:1.0, 1:1.3) were studied. The kochujang was stored for 8 weeks at $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. The brix tended to increase by increasing mixing ratio of rice-nuruk in all treatments. It increased rapidly up to 4 weeks fermentation and then showed a slight change after 6 weeks. The more mixing ratio of rice-nuruk increased, the more salinity of samples decreased. The initial pH value of kochujang was 5.08-5.10., however, the pH value decreased to 4.82-4.83 after an 8 weeks of storage period. The initial acid value was 0.66-0.68 and increased from 0.66-0.68 to 0.87-0.89. It had slight reduction phenomenon in the sixth week. As the aging period passed, chromaticity such as $a^*$- and $b^*$-values decreased gradually except for $L^*$-value. The moisture content of samples decreased gradually by adding rice-nuruk. but increased by passing an aging period. The initial amino nitrogen content of sample was 304-315 mg%. It increased to 399-442 mg% during the aging period. As the aging period passed, the total cell number increased from 6.81 log CFU/mL to 7.01 log CFU/mL in the fourth week and then steadily decreased to 6.66 log CFU/mL in the eight week. Results of sensory evaluation show that, as more rice-nuruk was added, the kochujang received a lower mark. There was no significant difference in flavor in all treatments. Color and sweetness with increasing amounts of rice-nuruk showed the lowest score. Saltiness rice-nuruk at the ratio of 1:1.0 was the highest at 6.22 points. Texture scores decreased with increasing amounts of the rice-nuruk Based on these results, the overall acceptability of the 1:0.7 rice-nuruk treatment which received the highest score is considered excellent.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is used for heart failure therapy and promotes myocardial regeneration by inducing mobilization of bone marrow stem cells to the injured heart after myocardial infarction; however, this treatment has one weakness in that its biological effect is transient. In our previous report, we generated 5 mutants harboring N-linked glycosylation to improve its antiapoptotic activities. Among them, one mutant (Phe140Asn) had higher cell viability than wild-type hG-CSF in rat cardiomyocytes, even after treatment with an apoptotic agent ($H_2O_2$). Cells treated with this mutant significantly upregulated the antiapoptotic proteins, and experienced reductions in caspase 3 activity and PARP cleavage. Moreover, the total number of apoptotic cells was dramatically lower in cultures treated with mutant hG-CSF. Taken together, these results suggest that the addition of an N-linked glycosylation was successful in improving the antiapoptotic activity of hG-CSF, and that this mutated product will be a feasible therapy for patients who have experienced heart failure.

Background: There are a million ragpickers in India who gather and trade recyclable municipal solid wastes materials for a living. The objective of this study was to examine whether their occupation adversely affects their immunity. Methods: Seventy-four women ragpickers (median age, 30 years) and 65 age-matched control housemaids were enrolled. Flow cytometry was used to measure leukocyte subsets, and leukocyte expressions of $Fc{\gamma}$ receptor I (CD64), $Fc{\gamma}RIII$ (CD16), complement receptor 1 (CD35) and CR3 (CD11b/CD18), and CD14. Serum total immunoglobulin-E was estimated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Compared with the controls, ragpickers had significantly (p < 0.0001) higher levels of CD8-T-cytotoxic, CD16+CD56+natural killer, and CD4+CD45RO+memory T-cells, but depleted levels of CD19+B-cells. The percentage of CD4+T-helper-cells was lower than the control group (p < 0.0001), but their absolute number was relatively unchanged (p = 0.42) due to 11% higher lymphocyte counts in ragpickers. In ragpickers, the percentages of CD14+CD16+intermediate and CD14dim CD16+nonclassical monocyte subsets were elevated with a decline in CD14+CD16-classical monocytes. The expressions of CD64, CD16, CD35, and CD11b/CD18 on both monocytes and neutrophils, and CD14 on monocytes were significantly higher in ragpickers. In addition, ragpickers had 2.7-times more serum immunoglobulin-E than the controls (p < 0.0001). After controlling potential confounders, the profession of ragpicking was positively associated with the changes. Conclusion: Ragpicking is associated with alterations in both innate (neutrophils, monocytes, and natural killer cell numbers and expression of complement and $Fc{\gamma}$ receptors) and adaptive immunity (numbers of circulating B cells, helper, cytotoxic, and memory T cells).

One of the reasons to causing blood coagulation in the tissue of xenografted organs was known to incompatibility of the blood coagulation and anti-coagulation regulatory system between TG pigs and primates. Thus, overexpression of human CD73 (hCD73) in the pig endothelial cells is considered as a method to reduce coagulopathy after pig-to-non-human-primate xenotransplantation. This study was performed to produce and breed transgenic pigs expressing hCD73 for the studies immune rejection responses and could provide a successful application of xenotransplantation. The transgenic cells were constructed an hCD73 expression vector under control porcine Icam2 promoter (pIcam2-hCD73) and established donor cell lines expressing hCD73. The numbers of transferred reconstructed embryos were $127{\pm}18.9$. The pregnancy and delivery rate of surrogates were 8/18 (44%) and 3/18 (16%). The total number of delivered cloned pigs were 10 (2 alive, 7 mummy, and 1 died after birth). Among them, three live hCD73-pigs were successfully delivered by Caesarean section, but one was dead after birth. The two hCD73 TG cloned pigs had normal reproductive ability. They mated with wild type (WT) MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) female sows and produced totally 16 piglets. Among them, 5 piglets were identified as hCD73 TG pigs. In conclusion, we successfully generated the hCD73 transgenic cloned pigs and produced their litters by natural mating. It can be possible to use a mate for the production of multiple transgenic pigs such as ${\alpha}-1,3-galactosyltransferase$ knock-out /hCD46 for xenotransplantation.

제주 해안선의 19개 항만을 대상으로 2016년 6월 제주 천해역의 해황과 식물플랑크톤 군집의 차이를 파악하였다. 결과 수온은 $17.6{\sim}20.7^{\circ}C$, 염분은 26.19~32.33 psu, Chl-a 농도는 $0.76{\sim}7.13{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 그리고 탁도는 0.51~14.49 FTU의 범위에서 변동하였다. 식물플랑크톤 군집도 출현이 확인된 종은 35속 51종으로 단조롭고, 분류군별로는 규조류가 56.8%, 와편모조류가 27.4%를 차지하였다. 그러나 정점별 출현종은 5~22종으로 염분에 의해 지배되었다. 세포밀도 $2.9{\sim}185.9cells\;mL^{-1}$로 변화하여, 환경인자 및 식물플랑크톤 군집 모두 해역별 차이가 큰 특징을 보였다. 우점종은 전체로는 Navicula spp., Strphanopyxis turris, Eutreptiella gymnastica, Mesodinium rubrum이 5% 이상의 우점율을 보이지만, 해역 별로는 전체와는 다른 양상으로 우점종에서도 많은 차이를 보였다. 그리고 주성분분석에 의한 제주해안선 주변해역의 식물플랑크톤 군집에서 Chl-a 농도는 규조류보다 식물성 편모조류에 의해 지배되었고, 규조류는 염분에 크게 지배되지 않지만, 출현종 및 식물성 편모조류는 염분과 밀접한 관련성을 보였다. 즉 이러한 결과는 이른 여름 제주 해안선 주변해역의 식물플랑크톤 군집은 쓰시마난류, 양자강희석수 등 대형 수괴보다도 육지부의 기온, 강수량 등의 기상인자와 함께 해안으로 직접 유입되는 지하수에 의해 기초생산이 지배되는 것을 시사하는 것으로 판단되었다.
