Liu, J.B.,Yan, H.L.,Zhang, Y.,Hu, Y.D.,Zhang, H.F. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.4

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of stale maize on growth performance, immunity, intestinal morphology, and antioxidant capacity in broilers. Methods: A total of 800 one-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers (45.4±0.5 g) were blocked based on body weight, and then allocated randomly to 2 treatments with 20 cages per treatment and 20 broilers per cage in this 6-week experiment. Dietary treatments included a basal diet and diets with 100% of control maize replaced by stale maize. Results: The content of fat acidity value was higher (p<0.05) while the starch, activities of catalase and peroxidase were lower (p<0.05) than the control maize. Feeding stale maize diets reduced (p<0.05) average daily feed intake (ADFI) throughout the experiment, feed conversion ratio (FCR) during d 0 to 21 and the whole experiment as well as relative weight of liver, spleen, bursa of Fabricius and thymus (p<0.05) on d 21. Feeding stale maize diets decreased jejunum villus height (VH) and VH/crypt depth (CD) (p<0.05) on d 21 and 42 as well as ileum VH/CD on d 42. The levels of immunoglobulin G, acid α-naphthylacetate esterase positive ratios and lymphocyte proliferation on d 21 and 42 as well as lysozyme activity and avian influenza antibody H₅N₁ titer on d 21 decreased (p<0.05) by the stale maize. Feeding stale maize diets reduced (p<0.05) serum interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2 on d 21 and interleukin-6 on d 21 and 42. Broilers fed stale maize diets had lower levels of (p<0.05) total antioxidative capacity on d 42, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase on d 21 and 42, but higher (p<0.05) levels of malondialdehyde on d 21 and 42. Conclusion: Feeding 100% stale maize decreased ADFI and FCR, caused adverse effects on immunity and antioxidant function and altered intestinal morphology in broilers.

Characteristics of species richness and diversity of woody vegetation in the natural rivers in Korea and its meaning to restoration design in flood plains

Bang, Je-Yong,Hu, Un-Bok,Kim, Hyea-Ju,You, Young-Han 한국환경생태학회 2015 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.29 No.1

In order to get basic data for flood plain restoration, we surveyed the woody vegetation in Korean natural rivers and analyzed the species' characteristics with regards to patterns of richness and diversity. These characteristics were higher in hard wood forests than those in soft wood forests, such as Salix spp. community. Futhermore, they were the highest in the Prunus sargentii-Pinus densiflora community(H' 1.095), and the lowest in the Carpinus laxiflora community(H' 0.118) among the hard wood forests. Species' richness diversity were the highest in the Salix gracilistyla community, but the lowest in the S. koriyangi community or S. koreensis community among the soft wood forests. With regards to the dominant index, just one community is over 0.9, 13 communities are between 0.3-0.7 and 15 communities are less than 0.3. The Salix koreensis community was the highest at 0.931, and Prunus sargentii-Pinus densiflora community was the lowest at 0.13. Species' richness and diversity was significantly correlated with tree layer coverages and degree of slope. These results mean that in order to increase plant species diversity in flood plains planted hard woody trees, such as oaks and fir, are needed to suit environmental conditions with steeper slope and lower canopy coverage.

Feedback Control of Adrenal Steroidogenesis via H₂O₂-Dependent, Reversible Inactivation of Peroxiredoxin III in Mitochondria

Kil, I.,Lee, S.,Ryu, K.,Woo, H.,Hu, M.C.,Bae, S.,Rhee, S. Cell Press 2012 Molecular cell Vol.46 No.5

Certain members of the peroxiredoxin (Prx) family undergo inactivation through hyperoxidation of the catalytic cysteine to sulfinic acid during catalysis and are reactivated by sulfiredoxin; however, the physiological significance of this reversible regulatory process is unclear. We now show that PrxIII in mouse adrenal cortex is inactivated by H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> produced by cytochrome P450 enzymes during corticosterone production stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone. Inactivation of PrxIII triggers a sequence of events including accumulation of H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB>, activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, suppression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein synthesis, and inhibition of steroidogenesis. Interestingly, levels of inactivated PrxIII, activated p38, and sulfiredoxin display circadian oscillations. Steroidogenic tissue-specific ablation of sulfiredoxin in mice resulted in the persistent accumulation of inactive PrxIII and suppression of the adrenal circadian rhythm of corticosterone production. The coupling of CYP11B1 activity to PrxIII inactivation provides a feedback regulatory mechanism for steroidogenesis that functions independently of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Fam83h is Associated with Intracellular Vesicles and ADHCAI

Ding, Y.,Estrella, M.R.P.,Hu, Y.Y.,Chan, H.L.,Zhang, H.D.,Kim, J.-W.,Simmer, J.P.,Hu, J.C.-C. SAGE Publications 2009 Journal of dental research Vol.88 No.11

<P>Defects in <I>FAM83H</I> on human chromosome 8q24.3 cause autosomal-dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta (ADHCAI). <I>FAM83H</I> does not encode a recognizable signal peptide, so we predicted that the Fam83h protein functions within the cell. We tested this hypothesis by constitutively expressing mouse Fam83h with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to its C-terminus in HEK293 and HeLa cell lines. Green fluorescent signal from the Fam83h-GFP fusion protein was associated with perinuclear vesicles, usually in the vicinity of the Golgi apparatus. No signal was observed within the nucleus. In addition, we identified <I> FAM83H</I> nonsense mutations in Hispanic (C1330C>T; p.Q444X) and Caucasian (c.1192C>T; p.Q398X) families with ADHCAI. We conclude that Fam83h localizes in the intracellular environment, is associated with vesicles, and plays an important role in dental enamel formation. <I>FAM83H</I> is the first gene involved in the etiology of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) that does not encode a secreted protein.</P>

FAM83H mutations cause ADHCAI and alter intracellular protein localization.

Lee, S-K,Lee, K-E,Jeong, T-S,Hwang, Y-H,Kim, S,Hu, J C-C,Simmer, J P,Kim, J-W Journal of Dental Research, Inc 2011 Journal of dental research Vol.90 No.3

<P>Mutations in a family with sequence similarity 83 member H (FAM83H) cause autosomal-dominant hypocalcification amelogenesis imperfecta (ADH CAI). All FAM83H ADHCAI-causing mutations terminate translation or shift the reading frame within the specific exon 5 segment that encodes from Ser(287) to Glu(694). Mutations near Glu(694) cause a milder, more localized phenotype. We identified disease-causing FAM83H mutations in two families with ADHCAI: family 1 (g.3115C>T, c.1993 C>T, p.Q665X) and family 2 (g.3151C>T, c.2029 C>T, p.Q677X). We also tested the hypothesis that truncation mutations alter the intracellular localization of FAM83H. Wild-type FAM83H and p.E694X mutant FAM83H fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) localized in the cytoplasm of HEK293T cells, but the mutant FAM83H proteins (p.R325X, p.W460X, and p.Q677X) fused to GFP localized mainly in the nucleus with slight expression in the cytoplasm. We conclude that nuclear targeting of the truncated FAM83H protein contributes to the severe, generalized enamel phenotype.</P>

Uhm, Jae-Kook,Hu D.,Zenneek U.,Pritzkow H.,Siebert W. Korean Chemical Society 1990 대한화학회지 Vol.34 No.5

1,4-dibora-2-cyclohexene 고리화합물 8을 합성하기 위한 두 가지 방법이 개발되었다. 방법 i)은 1,2-bis(dichloroaluminyl)ethane을 출발물질로 하는데 이 물질은 AlCl$_2$ 부분을 BCl$_2$로 치환시켜준다. 1,2-bis(dichloroaluminyl)ethane에 결합된 염소를 BI$_3$로 교환시켜 대응되는 요오드 화합물을 얻고 이 화합물을 alkynes와 반응시켜 헤테로고리화합물 8a, b를 많이 얻었다. 방법 ii)는 B$_2$Cl$_4$를 alkynes에 부가시켜 얻어지는 염소화합물에 BI$_3$를 치환시켜 bis(diiodoboryl)ethane유도체를 얻고 이 화합물에 alkynes와 산화환원반응을 하여줌으로 8c, d를 얻는다. 요오드 유도체인 8a는 pyridine 부가물인 9a를 생성하고 또 ether와 반응하여 ethoxy 유도체인 8e를 생성시킨다. 요오드 유도체의 dimethyl amino 치환제가 8f이다. 8a-d와 AlMe$_3$를 반응시켜 대응되는 methyl유도체인 8g-j를 얻고 이들 화합물은 THF속에서 칼륨과 반응시켜 불안정한 라디칼 음이온이 생성되고 여기서 ESR 결과가 측정된다. 8g-j의 전기화학적인 실험이 비가역적인 환원반응으로 나타났다. 8g-j화합물은 (C$_5$H$_5$)CO(C$_2$H$_4$)$_2$와 반응하여 중간체인 16개 VE(valence electron)를 갖는 착물 (C$_5$H$_5$)Co(8)이 얻어지는데 이 화합물은 다시 C-H 활성화에 의해 대응되는 붉은색의 1,4-diboracyclohexene 착물 10을 생성하게 된다. 착물 10h와 10j의 X-ray 구조가 결정되었다. Two synthetic routes for the 1,4-diboracyclohexene-2 ring 8 have been developed. Method i) starts with 1,2-bis(dichloroaluminyl)ethane, in which the AlCl$_2$ group is replaced by BCl$_2$. Exchange of the chlorine with BI$_3$ in 1,2-bis-(dichloroboryl)ethane yields the corresponding iodo compound, which reacts with the alkynes to heterocycles 8a, b in good yield. In method ii) B$_2$Cl$_4$ is added to alkenes, replacement of chlorine with BI$_3$ yields the bis(diiodoboryl)ethane derivatives which undergo redox reactions with alkynes to give 8c, d. The diiodo derivative 8a forms the pyridine adduct 9a, and reacts with ether to give the ethoxy derivative 8f. 8a-d react with AlMe$_3$ to yield the corresponding dimethyl derivatives 8g-j, which give unstable radical anions when treated with potassium in THF. The ESR parameters are reported. In electrochemical experiments irreversible reductions of 8g-j are observed. 8g-j react with (C$_5$H$_5$)Co(C$_2$H$_4$)$_2$ to give the intermediate 16 VE complexes (C$_5$H$_5$)Co(8), in which C-H activation occurs with formation of the corresponding red 1,4-diboracyclohexadiene complexes 10. The X-ray structure analyses of 10h and 10j are reported.

DISCOVERY OF AN X-RAY-EMITTING CONTACT BINARY SYSTEM 2MASS J11201034−2201340

Hu, Chin-Ping,Yang, Ting-Chang,Chou, Yi,Liu, L.,Qian, S.-B.,Hui, C. Y.,Kong, Albert K. H.,Lin, L. C. C.,Tam, P. H. T.,Li, K. L.,Ngeow, Chow-Choong,Chen, W. P.,Ip, Wing-Huen American Astronomical Society 2016 The Astronomical journal Vol.151 No.6

<P>We report the detection of orbital modulation, a model solution, and the X-ray properties of a newly discovered contact binary, Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) J11201034-2201340. We serendipitously found this X-ray point source outside the error ellipse when searching for possible X-ray counterparts of 7-ray millisecond pulsars among the unidentified objects detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The optical counterpart of the X-ray source (unrelated to the 7-ray source) was then identified using archival databases. The long-term Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey detected a precise signal with a period of P = 0.28876208 (56) days. A follow-up observation made by the Super Light Telescope of Lulin Observatory revealed the binary nature of the object. Utilizing archived photometric data of multi-band surveys, we construct the spectral energy distribution (SED), which is well fit by a K2V spectral template. The fitting result of the orbital profile using the Wilson Devinney code suggests that 2MASS J11201034-2201340 is a short-period A-type contact binary and the more massive component has a cool spot. The X-ray emission was first noted in observations made by Swift, and then further confirmed and characterized by an XMM-Newton observation. The X-ray spectrum can be described by a power law or thermal Bremsstrahlung. Unfortunately, we could not observe significant X-ray orbital modulation. Finally, according to the SED, this system is estimated to be 690 pc from Earth with a calculated X-ray intensity of (0.7 - 1.5) x 10(30) erg s(-1), which is in the expected range of an X-ray emitting contact binary.</P>
