This study was performed to investigate the relationship between PSS-HSP70 gene polymorphism and artificial insemination (AI) reproductivity in the pigs. The RFLP polymorphism of PSS and the SSCP polymorphisms of HSP70 K1, K3 and K4 PCR product were detected different patterns. In the experiment for AI of fresh semen, spring and fall season showed higher litter size born of 10.89 head than 10.47 head of summer season. Landrace was showed higher litter size of 9.96 head than that of Duroc and Yorkshire (p<0.05). Stress relating PSS and HSP70 polymorphism of PSS-Normal, HSP70 K1-BB, K3-AB, K4-AA showd a highest litter size born of 10.97 head and litter size born alive of 10.69 head than that of the other polymorphisms(p<0.05). In the experiment for AI of frozen semen, effects of season and pig breeds were not showed for litter size born. The stress relating polymorphism of PSS-Carrier, HSP70 K1-BB, K3-BB, K4-AB showed highest litter size born of 11.29 head and litter size born alive of 10.82 head and PSS-Normal, HSP70 K1-BB, K3-AB, K4-AA showed the lowest litter size born of 8.48 head and litter size born alive of 7.33 head than that of the other polymorphisms(p<0.05). These results suggest that AI litter size born for the stress of forzen thawed semen may be affected by PSS and HSP70 polymorphism in pigs.

Solubility of oxcarbazepine in eight solvents within the temperature range T=(288.15-308.15)K

Nam, K.,Ha, E.S.,Kim, J.S.,Kuk, D.H.,Ha, D.H.,Kim, M.S.,Cho, C.W.,Hwang, S.J. Academic Press 2017 The Journal of chemical thermodynamics Vol.104 No.-

In this study, the solubility of oxcarbazepine in pure methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran was analysed across the temperature range of 288.15-308.15K under atmospheric pressure by using a solid-liquid equilibrium method. The experimental values obtained data were correlated using the modified Apelblat model at each temperature. The mole fraction solubility of oxcarbazepine in all eight pure solvents increased gradually in a temperature-dependent manner. The highest mole fraction solubility of 3.08x10<SUP>-3</SUP> at 308.15K was observed for tetrahydrofuran, followed by acetone (1.82x10<SUP>-3</SUP> at 308.15K), acetonitrile (1.22x10<SUP>-3</SUP> at 308.15K), methanol (1.11x10<SUP>-3</SUP> at 308.15K), ethanol (6.17x10<SUP>-4</SUP> at 308.15K), 1-butanol (6.17x10<SUP>-4</SUP> at 308.15K), 1-propanol (6.16x10<SUP>-4</SUP> at 308.15K), and 2-propanol (4.13x10<SUP>-4</SUP> at 308.15K). The experimental solubility in all solvents correlated well with that calculated using the modified Apelblat equation across the temperature range of (288.15-308.15)K. Therefore, the experimental solubility and correlation equations established in this study could be useful during the crystallization/purification, pre-formulation, and formulation stages of oxcarbazepine production in laboratories and related industries.

Kong, H.S.,Oh, J.D.,Lee, J.H.,Yoon, D.H.,Choi, Y.H.,Cho, B.W.,Lee, H.K.,Jeon, G.J. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2007 Animal Bioscience Vol.20 No.6

The effects of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT1) candidate gene polymorphism on the economic traits of Hanwoo were studied. Through sequencing analysis, two polymorphism sites at K232A and T11993C were established and were analyzed by PCR-RFLP. The PCR-RFLP analysis for K232A showed that the frequencies of alleles K and A were 0.75 and 0.25, respectively, and the frequencies of genotypes for K/K, K/A and A/A were estimated as 0.509, 0.491 and 0, respectively. In the PCR-RFLP analysis for T11993C, we found allele frequencies of 0.773 and 0.227 for T and A, respectively, and 0.546, 0.454 and 0 for the T/T, T/C and C/C genotype frequencies, respectively. No significant effects on economic traits in Hanwoo were found in the separate analysis of K232A and T11993C polymorphisms, but the interaction between K232A and T11993C showed a significant effect (p<0.005) on marbling score. The DGAT1 candidate gene was found to have a significant effect not only on milk yield and component traits but also on the metabolism of intramuscular fat.

The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between stress related gene and meat quality in pigs. A total number of 212 three-way cross bred (Landrace-Yorkshire횞Duroc) and 38 Duroc were sampled from the Korean pig industry to determine genotype requency of porcine stress syndrome (PSS) and heat shock protein 70 kDa (HSP70) genes and their relationship with carcass traits and longissimus meat quality. Screen of HSP70 was performed by the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique. Based on the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) gene, genetic disorder of PSS was related to a mutation at 18,168th (C to T) of exon 17. There was no significant difference in ultimate meat pH and backfat thickness between HSP70 K1-AA type and -BB type in pure Duroc breed. In Landrace-Yorkshire횞Duroc (L-YxD) cross bred pig, our results indicated that HSP70 derivate type in Duroc had a limited effect on backfat thickness, but L-YxD type had a noticeable linkage with HSP70 K1-AA and K3-AB. This tendency was also observed in hot carcass weight where HSP70 K1-AA and K3-AB resulted in heavier weight with 86.3 kg compared to HSP70 K1-AB and K3-BB of 74.3 kg. Results imply that stress related HSP70 genotype has a potential association with backfat thickness and carcass weight.

Cho, K.,Kim, K.N.,Lim, N.L.,Kim, M.S.,Ha, J.C.,Shin, H.H.,Kim, M.K.,Roh, S.W.,Kim, D.,Oda, T. Pergamon ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2015 Biomass & bioenergy Vol.72 No.-

We investigated the effects of inositols, which are well-known plant growth-promoting agents, on the growth of the oceanic microalga Dunaliella salina. Of the four inositol derivatives tested (myo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, d-chiro-inositol, and l-chiro-inositol), myo-inositol (MI) showed the greatest growth-promoting effect in a concentration-dependent manner. The yield of biomass from the alga cultured with 500 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP> of MI was 1.48-times that of the control culture. No significant effect of MI on the total carotenoid content was observed, but neutral lipid content was significantly increased, 1.34-times greater than the control. MI also influenced the fatty acid methyl ester composition, with the levels of linoleic, linolenic, and linolelaidic acids significantly higher than those of the control culture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that MI promotes the growth of a marine microalga. Our results suggest that MI has potential for enhancing the efficiency of biofuel production by D. salina through growth promotion and increasing lipid productivity.

자외선의 조사간격이 브로일러 병아리의 볏 피부중 비타민 D₃함량에 미치는 영향

This study was conducted to determine the content, of previtamin D₃(PreD₃), lumisterol₃(L₃), vitamin D₃(VD₃) and provitamin D₃(ProD₃) in comb skski of broiler chicks exposed to medium ware ultraviolet(UVB) lights in different interval. The broiler Hubbard line day old chicks(199 = 10 control + 3 irradiation interval × 9 elapsed time × 7 replica) were fed vitamin D deficient diet for 3 weeks in a windowless subdued light room and exposed to 297 ㎚ UVB light by 0.068 mJ/㎝-(10 min) three times in 0, 12 or 24 h interval. The comb skin were taken at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 96, 144 or 240 h after last irradiation, and epidermis and dermis were separated. The lipid in sample was extracted by 9% ethyl acetate/hexane and purified by Sep-Pak silica catridge. The stright phase HPI-C was applied to analyze the concentration of Prop; and its photoproducts. When chicks were exposed once to UVB light for 30 min without interval, the mole % of ProD₃ in comb epidermis were 100% at control and 52.65% at 0 h after irradiation, thereafter it increased gradually to 88.17% at 240 h. PreD₃ and L₃ presented the maximum mole % at 0 h. VD₃ showed the peak value at 12 h. then decreased slowly. As UVB light was utilized to irradiate the chicks for 10 thin three times in 12 h interval, the ProD₃ mole portion in epidermis at 0 h was 76.4%, the lowest value among tested. PreD₃ and 1-3 preserved the highest level at 24 and 0 h, respectively, thereafter decreased gradully. VD₃ showed a peak at 6 h after exposure. When 24 h interval system was treated, the lowest value of ProD₃ 83.52% was appeared at 0 h. PreD₃ and L3 showed the highest level at 6 and 0 h, respectively. Mole ale of VD₃ had a peak value at 6 h and thin decreased. The mole % of ProD₃ and its photoproduets in comb dermis presented similar trends of time course variation as in those in epidermis. In respecting the method of UVB irradiation the PreD₃, L, and VDT were produced more quickly and largely in no intend system as compared to the time and amount produced in 12 or 24 h interval system.

D.H. Cho,M.S. Jang,조채용,J.G. Choi,J.P. Kim,M.K. Ryu,S.S. Park,S.Y. Cho 한국물리학회 2005 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.46 No.1

The dielectric properties and the behavior of phase transition in the NaxK1xNbO3 ceramic system were investigated. The temperature and composition parameter (x ) dependence of the dielectric constants and the loss tangent of the system were measured. The dielectric constant was the highest and the loss tangent of the sample was the lowest at x = 0.52. The dielectric constant of Na0:52K0:48NbO3 ceramics becomes broadened and the transition temperature shifts toward a higher temperature with an increase in the measuring frequency at the Curie temperature. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive eld (Ec) were obtained from the D-E hysteresis loop at room temperature. A typical hysteresis loop of a sample of composition parameter x = 0.52 exhibits a remanent polarization of 10 C/cm2 and a coercive eld of 8.4 kV/cm.

Antimicrobial cationic peptides have been received increasing attention as natural antibiotics for their broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities and remarkably low cytotoxicity against normal mammalian cells. Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, is an outstanding host for high degree of heterologous gene expression. Four candidates of antimicrobial cation peptides (CPs; Lactofemicin, Magainin, Protegrin-1 and Indolicidin) were expressed using pPIC9K-MPM vector containing AOXI promoter and MPM (modified Promagainin) as an acidic fusion partner. The MPM-CPs were expressed and induced by methanol induction method. The cell extracts, solubilized, were subjected to cyanogen bromide cleavage. SDS-PAGE (16.5% tricine) analysis showed the size of Protegrin-1 at 2.1kDa and of Indolicidin at 1.4kDa. The antimicrobial activity of Protegrin-1 or Indolicidin gene integrated transformant was observed by measuring clearing zones on 1% bacto-peptone agar plate against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli XL-1 blue (10^5 CFU/㎖) or Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (10^5 CFU/㎖).
