본 연구는 광주광역시에 유통·판매되고 있는 가금육을 대상으로 식중독 발생 가능성 높은 캠필로박터균의 검출 여부와 분리된 균주의 항생제 내성 및 유전적 특성을 조 사하였다. 전체 307건의 가금육(닭 223건, 오리84건) 중 111건에서 캠필로박터균이 검출(36.2%)되었고 116균주 (Campylobacter jejuni 102균주, Campylobacter coli 14균 주)를 분리하였다. 가금류별 캠필로박터균 검출률은 닭고 기 26.0%, 오리고기 63.1% 이었고, 5건(닭 1건, 오리 4 건)의 시료에서 Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli 가 동시에 검출되었다. 분리된 균주의 항생제 내성 시험 결과 99균주(85.3%)는 1가지 이상의 항생제에 대하여 내 성을 보였다. 그 중 ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid에 내성 을 보이는 균주가 각각 98균주(84.5%), 96균주(82.8%)로 가장 많았고, 그 외에 tetracycline (44.0%), gentamicin (2.6%)에 내성을 나타냈다. 분리된 균주의 혈청형 확인 결과, HS2형 20균주, HS15형 11균주, HS19형 9균주, HS8 형 8균주 등이 확인 되었고, HS42형, HS6형, HS53형, HS4A형, HS5형, HS18형, HS12형, HS27형 그리고 HS37 형이 확인 되었다. 따라서 조리 가공 시 교차오염이 발 생하지 않도록 조리기구 등에 대한 위생적 관리와 충분 한 가열 조리 등의 식중독 예방을 위한 주의가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Alexander Wang’s collections representing the athleisure look, and suggest a multilateral direction for fashion design based on the data. The present study examines literature, journals, and mass media to define the athleisure look and understand the background of its emergence, and assess its key design characteristics. The collections examined are from 2007 fall/winter to 2017 spring/summer, and T by Alexander Wang from 2011 spring/summer to 2016 fall/ winter. A total of 446 photos were collected and verified by a group of experts. The characteristics of the athleisure look in Alexander Wang’s collections were described by the following themes: dynamism (39.46%), unexpectedness (34.30%), sensuality (14.57%), and resistance (11.65%). Results revealed a number of findings: First, regarding the sensuality of the athleisure look found in Alexander Wang’s collections, it was found to exhibit the lines of the human body and highlight sexiness and healthy beauty - with either direct or indirect body exposure. Second, the concept of dynamism is the most frequently seen - utilizing items with a comfortable or loose fit or materials that are flexible to enhance activity. Third, resistance appears as a specific style using aggressive and rough decorations. Alexander Wang’s signature color, black, appears often, and showcases resistance through black clothing and fashion. Fourth, the unexpectedness of the athleisure look found in Alexander Wang’s collections creates its own uniqueness with playful expressions made by various materials’ mixed and matched or made visually fun.

Gemcitabine (Gemzar, 2,2-difluorodeoxycytidine, or dFdC) is an analog of cytosine arabinoside with anti-tumor activity in a few human cancers (lung, ovary, pancreatic and breast cancers). However, the mechanism of apoptosis by this compound in carcinoma has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigated that gemcitabine alone and combination with cisplatin or 5-FU are cancer toxicity using lung cancer cell line A549 by MTT, FACS analysis, and Western blot assay. Also, to confirm enhanced antitumor activity in vivo using an xenograft tumor model. The MTT assay showed higher cytotoxic effect in combination with gemcitabine-cisplatin or gemcitabine-5-FU than gemcitabine alone. FACS analysis showed that gemcitabine-cisplatin combination increased hypodiploid DNA to 70.84 %. The induction of apoptosis showed more increase in combination with gemcitabine-cisplatin or gemcitabine-5-FU than gemcitabine alone. The Western results showed higher expression of p53 and p21WAF/CIP1 protein in combination treatment with gemcitabine-cisplatin or gemcitabine-5-FU than gemcitabine treatment alone. But, Bcl-2 protein expression decreased. In vivo experiments showed that more decreased tumor size and more increased survival rate on combination with gemcitabine- cisplatin or gemcitabine-5-FU combination than gemcitabine alone. In conclusion, this study suggests that gemcitabine combined with cisplatin or 5-FU are the synergistic effect of anticancer therapy on lung cancer.

Backgoound : This study was conducted to evaluate the quality variation of Ixeris dentata on the antioxidant contents and antioxidant activities according to the different producing area. Methods and Results : The samples were extracted with 70 % EtOH and then analyzed for total flavonoid contents, polypenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Luteinol 7-O-β-D-glucoside, an index component of the Ixeris dentata, was analyzed by HPLC. The leafs of Ixeris dentata in Jinan had the highest concentration of polyphenols (23.91 ㎎/g), followed by Jinbu (22.63 ㎎/g) and Eumseong (21.36 ㎎/g). Flavonoid content was highest in Jinan (15.27 ㎎/g), but there was no significant difference between Jinbu (14.05 ㎎/g) and Eumseong (13.99 ㎎/g). The contents of luteinol 7-O-β-D-glucoside were confirmed in Jinan (0.68%), Jinbu (0.49%) and Eumseong (0.36%), respectively. Conclusion : The comparison of antioxidant contents and antioxidant activities of Ixeris dentata according to the different producing area, Jinan was had the highest concentration, followed by Jinbu and Eumseong.

The use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in cell-based therapy has attracted extensive interest in the field of regenerative medicine, and it shows applications to numerous incurable diseases. hMSCs show several superior properties for therapeutic use compared to other types of stem cells. Different cell types are discussed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages, with focus on the characteristics of hMSCs. hMSCs can proliferate readily and produce differentiated cells that can substitute for the targeted affected tissue. To maximize the therapeutic effects of hMSCs, a substantial number of these cells are essential, requiring extensive ex vivo cell expansion. However, hMSCs have a limited lifespan in an in vitro culture condition. The senescence of hMSCs is a double-edged sword from the viewpoint of clinical applications. Although their limited cell proliferation potency protects them from malignant transformation after transplantation, senescence can alter various cell functions including proliferation, differentiation, and migration, that are essential for their therapeutic efficacy. Numerous trials to overcome the limited lifespan of mesenchymal stem cells are discussed.

Discovery, identification, and informatics of low molecular weight peptide are extensively rising in the field of proteomics research. In this study, we analyzed protein profiles to discover peptide based biomarker for twelve different soybean seeds with three different agronomic types using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS). For optimization of SELDI-TOF MS in soybean seed proteome analysis, four different extraction buffers were tested with urea solubilization buffer, thiourea/urea solubilization buffer, phenol extraction buffer, and modified trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone precipitation/urea solubilization extraction buffer. Two different type of ProteinChip arrays, cation exchange (CM10) and anion exchange (Q10), applied to profile peptides. Among the four different extraction buffers, phenol extraction was selected to protein extraction methodology. Numbers of detected peak cluster in twelve soybean seeds were 125 at CM10 and 90 at Q10 array in the mass range from 2 to 40 kDa. Among them, 82 peak clusters at CM10 and 33 peak clusters at Q10 array showed significantly different peak clusters at p<0.00004 (CM10) and p<0.00005 (Q10) among twelve different soybean cultivars. Moreover, 29 peak clusters at CM10 and 17 peak clusters at Q10 array were detected in all cultivars as an ‘universally existed peptide’. In comparison with three different agronomic types, total of 55 peak clusters (CM10) and 23 peak clusters (Q10) were significantly different peak clusters at p<0.00004 and p<0.0001, respectively. In these probability levels, soybean seeds were well discriminated into different cultivar and different type with each other. Also we could find several specific peptide biomarkers for agronomic type.

Developmental changes of chlorophyll-protein complexes (CPs) and plastid membrane proteins in greening mung bean cotyledons and the effect of spermine thereon were examined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The changes in the amounts of CPs became larger with the progress of greening and light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) was the main CP in the early greening stage up to 48 h. As the greening proceeded, chlorophyll-protein of the photosystem I (CPI) accumulated. Application of spermine were effective in accumulating CPs of the thylakoid membrane in the early phase of greening. In the profiles of the plastid membrane proteins, quantitative and qualitative changes were observed with the onset of greening up to 72 h. 56 kD protein of major intensity was observed in all greened chloroplasts and 24 kD protein increased remarkablly in both control and spermine-treated cotyledons. The thylakoids from spermine-treated cotyledons showed higher amounts of thylakoid proteins as compared to the controls. The results suggest that spermine may play a role in the regulation of plastid development and stabilizes the membrane function during greening.
