양강추출물(Alpinia officinarum, 70% ethanol extract)과 함유 주성분인 galangin은 프리라디칼소거작용과 지질과산화억제활성을 나타내었으며, H_2O_2 또는 KO_2유도 세포독성에 대해서도 억제적으로 작용하여 세포보호효과를 나타내었다. DNA single strand breakage와 같은 산화적 스트레스에 대해서도 보호작용을 하고 있다. 또한, 마우스 소핵시험에 의하여 adriamycin과 같은 superoxide유발물질에 의한 염색체 수준에서의 손상에 대해서도 억제효과를 나타내었다. 양강추출물은 galangin을 유효성분으로하여 산소프리라디칼들에 의한 산화적 손상에 억제적으로 작용하는 기전으로 산화적 스트레스에 대한 항노화, 암예방제로서의 응용가능성이 높은 추출물로서 향후 기능성 식품으로서의 응용가능성이 높을 것으로 판단되었다.

Immunoglobulin G was purified by 40% (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex, Sephadex G-150 column chromatographies from rabbit antiserum against V. vulnificus ATCC 27562 O antigen and used for immunological test for V. vulnificus isolates. The profi

This study was designed to compare the effectiveness and applicability of the HApS (Hazard Analysis process System; HUKO, Seoul, Korea) based on Petrifilm^(TM)(3M, St. Paul, MN, USA) with the AOAC (the Association of Official Analytical Chemists) standard total aerobic count (TAC) method and coliform count (CC) method for meat products. The comparisons were carried out using 230 meat samples collected from various retailers: 80 pork samples, 80 chicken samples, and 70 beef samples. In the comparison of the correlation coefficient (r) between conventional method and HApS^(TM) method by a linear regression analysis, the correlation coefficients in total microorganism were 0.97767, 0.90712, and 0.95594 in pork, beef, and chicken samples, respectively. The correlation coefficients in coliform count were 0.82062, 0.94833, and 0.96839 in pork, beef and chicken samples, respectively. All the independent t-test on measun:ment values between conventional method and HApS^(TM) method represented no significant differences in the means between two methods at the 0.05 of significance level(α=0.05). Based on the high correlation between HApS^(TM) and the AOAC standard methods in the TAC and CC, it might be compatible to employ the HApS method to measure the microbial contamination in livestock products. HApS^(TM) method was simpler and less time-consuming in sample preparation and procedures faster than the conventional method. These results suggested that the HApS method could be substitute for the conventional methods in the analysis of microbial contamination measurement in meat products.

제주도내 넙치양어장에 빈발하여 피해를 입히는 에드와드병의 원인균인 Edwardsiella tarda의 출현 시기와 분포를 알기 위하여, 1997년 6월부터 1998년 5월가지 제주도내 5개 넙치양어장에서 사용하고 있는 해수(주입수, 사육수, 배출수)와 사육중인 넙치의 장기조직 (간장, 비장, 신장, 장)을 조사하였다. 조사 방법은 해수인 경우는 DSSS배지에 직접 도말하는 방법과, 증균 배양후 도말하는 방법으로 균수를 계수하였고, 장기 조직은 각 장기를

6-(4-Iodophenyl)amino-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione (RCK9) was evaluated for antifungal activities. The MIC values of RCK9 were determined against A. flavus, C. albicans, C. neoformans and F. oxysporium. The RCK9 showed generally potent antifungal activities against the tested fungi. Acute oral toxicity studies of RCK9 were carried out in ICR mice of both sexes. These acute oral toxicities of RCK9 were low and LDSO values were over 2,850 mg/kg in ICR mice. The genotoxicities of RCK9 had been evaluated. RCK9 was negative in Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium and chromosomal aberration test in CHL cells. The clastogenicity was tested on the RCK9 with in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. RCK9 did not show any clastogenic effect in mouse peripheral blood and was negative in mouse micronucleus assay. The results indicate that RCK9 has no genotoxic potential under these experimental conditions.

The antioxidative, radical scavenging and cyto-protective effects of Cassia torn L. seeds and it major component, nor-rubrofusarin-6-β-D-glucoside (nor-rubrofusarin), were studied to evaluate their inhibitory activity against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress. 70% ethanol extract of Cassia tora L. seeds and nor-rubrofusarin also were tested for the evaluation of anticlastogenicity against mitomycin C-induced micronucleated reticulocytes in mouse peripheral blood. The extract of Cassia tora seeds and nor-rubrofusarin showed an antioxidative effect on the lipid peroxidation of ethyl linoleate with Fenton's reagent and free radical scavenging effect to DPPH radical generation, respectively. They showed a protective effect against H₂O₂-induced cytotoxicity in CHL cells. The extract of Cassia tora L. seeds and nor-rubrofusarin showed a strong anticlastogenicity against mitomycin C-induced micronuclei formation. Results from our study indicate that the extract of Cassia tora L. seeds and nor-rubrofusarin are capable of protecting the lipid peroxidation, free radical generation and cytotoxicity induced by reactive oxygen species. They also have an anticlastogenicity toward DNA crosslinking agent like mitomycin C.

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer has been extensively used in the traditional oriental medicine as a restorative, tonic and prophylatic agent. Petroleum ether extract of panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (GPE) and its several fractions (P1-P5) were tested for the evaluation of antigenotoxicity against N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P]-induced micronucleated reticulocytes in mouse peripheral blood. GPE and P2 showed more significant anticlastogenicity than other fractions did. To elucidate the anticlastogenic action mechanism of GPE and P2 against B(a)P, the alteration of B(a)P metabolism was studied. GPE and P2 inhibited B(a)P metabolism in the presence of S-9 mix and decreased B(a)P-DNA binding in calf thymus DNA with S-9 mix. They also decreased [3H] MNU induced DNA binding and methylation to 7-methyl guanine and O^5-methyl guanine adducts in calf thymus DNA by HPLC analysis. These results suggest that the anticlastogenicity of GPE and P2 on the B(a)P or MNU-induced clastogenicity is due to decrease of DNA binding with B(a)P or MNU, the inhibition of metabolism with B(a)P and the inhibition of methylation in DNA. Therefore, GPE and P2 may be useful chemopreventive agents of alkylating agent like MNU and secondary carcinogen like B(a)P.

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer has been extensively used in the traditional oriental medicine as a restorative, tonic and prophylatac agent. This study was devised to develop a chemopreventive agent from panax ginseng to be able to suppress the genotoxicity and oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species, which are involved with cancer or aging. Ginseng petroleum ether extract (GPE) and one of its fraction, P2, showed an antioxidative effect on the lipid peroxidation of ethyl linoleate with Fenton's reagents and free radical scavenging effect to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazil (DPPH) radical generation. They also showed the suppressive effect of H₂O₂ or KO₂ induced DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). Results from our study indicate that GPE and P2 are capable of protecting lipid peroxidation, and oxidative DNA damage. Therefore, GPE and P2 may be useful chemopreventive agents which are involved with cancer and aging.

6-[(N-3,4-Dibromophenyl)amino]-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione(RCK13) was tested for antifungal activities. The MIC values were determined by the two-fold dilution method. The therapeutic potential of RCK13 had been assessed in comparison with ketoconazole and fluconazole against systemic infections with Candida albicans in normal mice. RCK13 had ED_(50), 0.80±0.21 mg/kg but ketoconazole had ED_(50), 8.00±0.73 mg/kg respectively. And administered RCK13 at the ED_(50) for 14 days improved survival rates as well as ketoconazole. Acute oral toaicity studies of RCK13 were carried out in ICR mice of both sexes. These acute oral toxicities of RCK13 were low and LD_(50) values were over 2,850 mg/kg in ICR mice. The genotoxicities of RCK 13 had been evaluated. RCK13 was negative in Ames test with Salmonella ryphimurium and chromosomal aberration test in CHL cells. The clastogenicity was tested on the RCK13 with in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. RCK13 did not show any clastogenic effect in mouse peripheral blood and was negative in mouse micronucleus assay. These results indicate that RCK13 has no genotoxic potential under these experimental conditions.
