Objectives: Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) is a new physiologic therapeutics developed in Korea as a meridian yinyang balance approach. The theory of yinyang balance has been at the core of health enhancement approach of meridian and acupuncture medicine ever since its start. Methods: Introductory overview of FCST is presented in relation with meridian yinynag balance theory. Results: As the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related tissues have direct interconnection with brainstem proprioceptive or motor systems and the face is where all the meridians converge, FCST applies a fine adjustment of the posture of TMJ as a treatment tool for neurologic conditions or meridian imbalances. Conclusions: Highly sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to adjust various subset aspects of yinyang balance are developed within FCST, which is supposed to be one of major contributions to natural healing.

<P>Upregulation of microRNA-21 (miR-21) is strongly associated with glioma malignancy, but the regulatory mechanism that governs miR-21 biogenesis is unclear. Yin <I>et al.</I> demonstrate that the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX23 promotes miR-21 biogenesis at the post-transcriptional level in glioma cells, and that DDX23 inhibition reduces glioma growth in mouse xenografts.</P><P> [Figure] </P><P>Upregulation of microRNA-21 (miR-21) is known to be strongly associated with the proliferation, invasion, and radio-resistance of glioma cells. However, the regulatory mechanism that governs the biogenesis of miR-21 in glioma is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the DEAD-box RNA helicase, DDX23, promotes miR-21 biogenesis at the post-transcriptional level. The expression of DDX23 was enhanced in glioma tissues compared to normal brain, and expression level of DDX23 was highly associated with poor survival of glioma patients. Specific knockdown of DDX23 expression suppressed glioma cell proliferation and invasion <I>in vitro</I> and <I>in vivo</I>, which is similar to the function of miR-21. We found that DDX23 increased the level of miR-21 by promoting primary-to-precursor processing of miR-21 through an interaction with the Drosha microprocessor. Mutagenesis experiments critically demonstrated that the helicase activity of DDX23 was essential for the processing (cropping) of miR-21, and we further found that ivermectin, a RNA helicase inhibitor, decreased miR-21 levels by potentially inhibiting DDX23 activity and blocked invasion and cell proliferation. Moreover, treatment of ivermectin decreased glioma growth in mouse xenografts. Taken together, these results suggest that DDX23 plays an essential role in glioma progression, and might thus be a potential novel target for the therapeutic treatment of glioma.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The pharaoh cuttlefish <I>Sepia pharaonis</I> is particularly sensitive to environmental changes in its breeding environment. The breeding of <I>S</I>. <I>pharaonis</I> larvae was carried out in different salinities for 48h, and the changes in survival rate, histological structure, energy metabolism, and anti-oxidative stress parameters were investigated and correlated with arginine kinase (AK) expression changes in muscle and liver tissues. The suitable salinity for larvae cultivation ranged from 24 to 30‰, and the survival rate showed a significant decline at 21‰ salinity. Histological observations of muscle and liver showed that changes in salinity and osmotic pressure had an adverse effect on tissue structure. Measurements of glycogen and lactic acid levels suggested that <I>S</I>. <I>pharaonis</I> could dynamically adjust energy metabolism to provide additional energy under unsuitable salinity. The protein levels and enzyme activities of AK in muscle significantly increased at 21‰ salinity. The results were consistent with prompt replenishment of phosphoarginine stores during salinity stress to maintain a dynamic ATP balance, suggesting that AK plays an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism. This study provides insight into metabolic changes during salinity stress and sheds light on the functional role of AK in <I>S</I>. <I>pharaonis</I>.</P>

<P>A method for engineering and producing genetically modified cats is important for generating biomedical models of human diseases. Here we describe the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce cloned transgenic cats that systemically express red fluorescent protein. Immature oocytes were collected from superovulating cat ovaries. Donor fibroblasts were obtained from an ear skin biopsy of a white male Turkish Angora cat, cultured for one to two passages, and subjected to transduction with a retrovirus vector designed to transfer and express the red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene. A total of 176 RFP cloned embryos were transferred into 11 surrogate mothers (mean = 16 +/- 7.5 per recipient). Three surrogate mothers were successfully impregnated (27.3%) and delivered two liveborn and one stillborn kitten at 65 to 66 days of gestation. Analysis of nine feline-specific microsatellite loci confirmed that the cloned cats were genetically identical to the donor cat. Presence of the RFP gene in the transgenic cat genome was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analyses. Whole-body red fluorescence was detected 60 days after birth in the liveborn transgenic (TG) cat but not in the surrogate mother cat. Red fluorescence was detected in tissue samples, including hair, muscle, brain, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, bronchus, lung, stomach, intestine, tongue, and even excrement of the stillborn TG cat. These results suggest that this nuclear transfer procedure using genetically modified somatic cells could be useful for the efficient production of transgenic cats.</P>

<P>Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) plays an important role in antioxidant defense in organisms exposed to oxygen. However, there is a lack of research into the regulation of SOD activity and structural changes during folding, especially for SOD originating from extremophiles. We studied the inhibitory effects of trifluoroethanol (TFE) on the activity and conformation of manganese-containing SOD (Mn-SOD) from Thermus thermophilus. TFE decreased the degree of secondary structure of Mn-SOD, which directly resulted in enzyme inactivation and disrupted the tertiary structure of Mn-SOD. The kinetic studies showed that TFE-induced inactivation of Mn-SOD is a first-order reaction and that the regional Mn-contained active site is very stable compared to the overall structure. We further simulated the docking between Mn-SOD and TFE (binding energy for Dock 6.3, -9.68 kcal/mol) and predicted that the LEU9, TYR13, and HIS29 residues outside of the active site interact with TFE. Our results provide insight into the inactivation of Mn-SOD during unfolding in the presence of TFE and allow us to describe ligand binding via inhibition kinetics combined with computational predictions.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Serum proteomics has been applied for the discovery and analysis of biomarkers related to human disease. Serum is an optimal source to identify proteins derived from diseased-tissue compartments. We recently established an integrative method to analyze highly basic proteins that remain unresolved by the general 2D-PAGE method. In this follow-up study, we successfully detected several disease-associated proteins from sera samples obtained from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). After proteomic analyses, target proteins were validated from AD patient-derived sera using ELISA or Western blotting methods We detected zinc finger CCHC domain containing 10 (ZCCHC10), peptidoglycan recognition protein L (PGRP-L), kininogen, α-1-antitrypsin, and hornerin proteins that are dysregulated in AD patient sera samples, which suggest effective approaches to methodologically analyze the serum proteome. Thus, the integrated proteomic method approach described here could be applicable for the detection of proteins associated with other human diseases. Our present study provides new insights into optimized serum proteomic techniques to understand systemic events of AD.</P>
