To tolerate environmentally adverse conditions such as cold, drought, and salinity, plants often synthesize and accumulate proline in cells as compatible osmolytes. ${\Delta}^1$-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase(P5CS) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of proline biosynthesis from glutamate. Two complete genes, MtP5CS1 and MtP5CS2, were isolated from the model legume Medicago truncatula by cDNA cloning and bacterial artificial chromosome library screening. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that both genes consisted of 20 exons and 19 introns. Alignment of the predicted amino acid sequences revealed high similarities with P5CS proteins from other plant species. The two MtP5CS genes were expressed in response to high salt and low temperature treatments. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that MtP5CS1 was expressed earlier than MtP5CS2, indicating differential regulation of the two genes. To evaluate the reverse genetic effects of nucleotide changes on MtP5CS function, a Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes approach was taken. Three mutants each were isolated for MtP5CS1 and MtP5CS2, of which a P5CS2 nonsense mutant carrying a codon change from arginine to stop was expected to bring translation to premature termination. These provide a valuable genetic resource with which to determine the function of the P5CS genes in environmental stress responses of legume crops.

Background/Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of initial C-reactive protein (CRP) as a predictor of clinical outcome and to investigate whether follow-up CRP measurement is useful for the prediction of the clinical outcome of bloodstream infections in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), whose CRP production in response to infection may be attenuated. Methods: A retrospective, observational study including 202 LC patients with Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia was conducted to assess the usefulness of serial CRP measurements in predicting clinical outcome in LC patients. The CRP ratio was defined as the ratio of the follow-up CRP level to the initial CRP level. Results: The overall 30-day mortality rate of the study population was 23.8% (48/202). In the multivariate analysis, advanced age (≥ 70 years), healthcare-associated or nosocomial infections, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score of ≥ 30, and initial body temperature of < 37℃ were significant factors associated with mortality (all p < 0.05). No association between initial CRP level and mortality was found. In a further analysis including 87 evaluable cases who had repeated CRP measurements at day 4 and/or 5, a CRP ratio of ≥ 0.7 was found to be a significant factor associated with mortality (odds ratio, 19.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.32 to 276.86; p = 0.043) after adjusting for other confounding variables. Conclusions: Initial CRP level did not predict mortality of sepsis in LC patients. However, serial CRP measurements during the first week of antimicrobial therapy may be useful as a prognostic factor for mortality in LC patients. (Korean J Intern Med 2011;26:195-200)

Althogh Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are widely studied in mice, study of pig SSCs is not sufficient for the isolation, long-term culture, and characterization. To identify the effect of growth factor in cultured pig SSC, newly generated pSSCs like cell from neonatal 5days porcine testis were cultured and investigated for the pSSCs like cell formation. Glial derived neurotrophic gactor (GDNF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were applied to culture media to identify the pSSC like cell growth and stem cell formation. The criteria for the determining of stem cell characters, morphology, number of colonies, putative stem cell marker were analysed by microspic, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) methods. Most of the pSSCs like cells were formed approximately 100 μm size with sphere shape. Most of the feeder cells were highly dependent on FGF that feeder cells were not stably attached on plate without FGF and colony formation of pSSC was not observed consequently. Immunocyto chemistry data revealed that this cells expressed the ubiquitin-C-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL-1, PGP9.5) and Dolichos Biflorus Agglutinin (DBA) in addition of 20 ng/ml EGF, 10 ng/ml FGF, 10 ng/ml GDNF, 10 U3/ml LIF. In addition, Alkaline Phosphatase ()was positive in all period of culture. This study suggest that various growth factorsinp SSC culture system is important to regulate and maintain the pSSC. In conculsion, although the precise role of growth factor in pSSC proliferation need to be clarified, combination of growth factor might be critical in order to derivation and proliferation of neonatal pSSCs and spermatogenesis.

<P>The edible and medicinal perennial herb <I>Aster scaber</I> is known to have anticancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. However, the biological effects of its polysaccharides are not well understood. Here, we aimed to extract novel polysaccharides with enhanced biological properties from <I>Aster scaber</I> using enzyme-assisted methods. Amylase, cellulase, and pectinase were used to extract enzyme-assisted polysaccharide (ASEP)-A, ASEP-C, and ASEP-P, respectively. The yields, physicochemical properties, and immunostimulatory activities of the polysaccharides were investigated and compared with those of hot water extracted polysaccharide (ASWP). The highest yield (3.8%) was achieved for ASEP-P extracted using pectinase digestion. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and chemical composition analysis revealed that ASWP and three ASEPs were typical acidic heteropolysaccharides, mainly comprising rhamnose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, and galacturonic acid. Immunostimulatory activity assays on RAW264.7 macrophages showed ASEP-P to have the greatest immunostimulatory potential in terms of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine productions and phagocytic activity. ASEP-P administration improved immune-enhancing effects in normal mice by improving the spleen index and splenic lymphocyte proliferation, and in immunosuppressed mice by modulating lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer (NK) cell activity, and leukocyte counts. The ASEP-P derived from pectinase hydrolysate of <I>Aster scaber</I> demonstrated efficacious immunostimulatory properties and has potential applications as an immune stimulator.</P>
