Studies on the utilization added in diet with a Stem and Leaf Powder of Angelicae Gigas Nakai(SLPAGN) in the broiler chickens. Diets added with 0.0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1.0% of SLPAGN were fed to broiler chickens at 7 weeks age. The results of SLPAGN feeding are as follows; The body weight gain was significantly improved in 1.0% SLPAGN diet (P<0.01), and feed efficiency was effected with 1.0% SLPAGN ration(P<0.05). The amount of carcass was the heaviest in 0.2% SLPAGN diet. The amounts of breast meat and drumsticks product were the highest in 0.2% SLPAGN, and the weights of head and neck, leg and shank were lower than other treatments. The fat accumulation (abdominal and gizzard surrounding) was observed in broilers fed diets added with 0.2% SLPAGN. The weights of liver, spleen and gizzard were tended to increase with adding SLPAGN rations than control diet. The degradation of fabricius sac was delayed to non-SLPAGN treatment than SLPAGN groups. The blood contents were analyzed to be the highest level to the total serum, GOT, total serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations in the broiler chickens fed 1.0% SLPAGN diets, and then the level of total serum protein and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were appeared to be the lowest. In the birds fed non-SLPAGN treatments the concentration of serum GPT, serum albumin, total serum triglyceride, total serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were analyzed to be the lowest levels. In 0.2% SLPAGN treatment, the contents of serum GOT and serum bilirubin contents were analyzed the lowest levels. Key words: Angelicae Gigas, feed efficiency. HDL-cholesterol.

Cui, Xiang-Shun,Lee, Jae Yeong,Choi, Seok Hwa,Kwon, Mo Sun,Kim, Teoan,Kim, Nam-Hyung 충남대학교 형질전환복제돼지연구센터 2004 논문집 Vol. No.8

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) on development of porcine parthenotes and nuclear transferred embryos, and on their expression of implantation-related genes. In the presence of bovine serum albumin, mGM-CSF did not increase the percentage of oocytes that developed to the blastocyst stage and at day 7 did not increase cell numbers of embryos. Addition of 2 ng/ml GM-CSF to protein-free culture medium significantly increased the compaction and blastocoel formation of 1-to 2-cell parthenotes developing in vitro. However, total cell numbers were not increased when they were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF. Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction revealed that mGM-CSF enhances mRNA expression of the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, but does not influence interleukin-6 or sodium/glucose co-transporter protein gene expression in blastocyst state parthenotes. These results suggest that mGM-CSF may enhance viability of porcine embryos developing in vitro in a defined culture medium.

Cdc42 is implicated in polarity during meiotic resumption and blastocyst formation in the mouse

Cui, Xiang-Shun,Li, Xing-Yu,Kim, Nam-Hyung JOHN WILEY & SONS LTD 2007 MOLECULAR REPRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT Vol.74 No.6

<P>Cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42), a member of the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) proteins, regulates multiple cell functions, including: motility, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell morphology. In order to obtain insight into the role of Cdc42 in meiotic resumption and embryo development, we first evaluated its gene expression levels in mouse oocytes and embryos during in vitro development. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed high-expression levels in GV stage oocytes that steadily decreased up to the 2-cell (2C) stage embryo, and then expression increased during morulae and blastocyst formation. Indirect Immunocytochemistry also showed protein synthesis of CDC42 in the mouse oocytes and early embryos. Introducing small interference RNA (siRNA) of Cdc42 into germinal vesicle stage oocytes or zygotes specifically reduced both mRNA expression and protein synthesis of CDC42 in in vitro developed metaphase II oocytes and early embryos. Meiotic maturation and cytoskeleton assembly were significantly altered following siRNA injection into germinal vesicle stage oocytes. Injection of siRNA into the zygote did not affect cleavage or cell numbers in morulae, but significantly decreased in vitro development to the morula or blastocyst. These findings suggest that gene expression of Cdc42 is involved in meiotic resumption and blastocyst formation in the mouse, possibly through maintaining polarity. Mol. Reprod.

Xiang Ma,Jianye Cui,Zhongming Xiang,Haoliang Du,Jianfeng Huang 한국정보과학회 2022 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.16 No.2

In the current distribution network information monitoring system, there are many false alarm information, which forms redundant interference to the fault alarm threshold, and it is difficult to ensure the alarm accuracy of the monitoring system. The distribution network intelligent information monitoring system and the alarm threshold adjustment method based on machine learning are designed, with the physical layer of the system designed to collect the operation status information of each line and equipment of the distribution network according to various sensors, and transfer it to the data layer. The data layer extracts, processes, and classifies the received information, stores it in the database, obtains the abnormal information in the information base, and adjusts the alarm threshold based on the fuzzy clustering method in machine learning, realizing intelligent monitoring of distribution network. The test results show that the detection performance of abnormal information is good, that the abnormal information in the data can be obtained accurately, and that the clustering of the target category of abnormal information can be completed according to the eigenvalue, and has a good threshold adaptive adjustment ability, to maximize the balance between human, machine, and power grid operation state in the process of distribution network monitoring information, ensure real-time and reliable monitoring and alarm results.

Activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and Raf/Pyk2 by growth factor‐mediated Eph receptor 2 (EphA2) is required for cholangiocarcinoma growth and metastasis

Cui, Xiang‐,Dan,Lee, Mi‐,Jin,Kim, Jong‐,Hyun,Hao, Pei‐,Pei,Liu, Lan,Yu, Goung‐,Ran,Kim, Dae‐,Ghon Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company 2013 Hepatology Vol.57 No.6

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Eph receptor 2 (EphA2) overexpression is frequently accompanied by the loss of its cognate ligand during tumor progression. However, the molecular mechanism of this ligand‐independent promotion of tumor by EphA2 remains unclear in highly malignant and fatal cholangiocarcinoma (CC). We examined the biological role of EphA2 in tumor growth and metastasis in CC tissues and cells according to the degree of differentiation and we explored the downstream signaling pathways of EphA2. Growth factor‐mediated EphA2 overexpression itself leads to the activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) pathways through ligand‐independent activation of EphA2 (phosphorylation of S897). An <I>in vitro</I> soft agar assay and <I>in vivo</I> orthotopic or subcutaneous tumor model showed that EphA2 enhanced colony formation and accelerated tumor growth, and which seemed to be mainly associated with Akt (T308)/mTORC1 activation. Aberrant expression and activation of EphA2 was also associated with poorer differentiation and higher metastatic ability. Enhanced metastatic ability was also observed in an orthotopic tumor model or lung metastasis model, correlating with Pyk2(Y402)/c‐Src/ERK activation in addition to activation of the canonical Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. The mTORC1 and Raf/Pyk2 pathways also appeared to affect each other. These results suggest that growth factor‐mediated EphA2 might be involved in tumor growth and metastasis through activation of the mTORC1 and Raf/Pyk2 pathways. Therapeutic strategies that target EphA2 and its downstream effectors may be useful to control CC. (H<SMALL>EPATOLOGY</SMALL> 2013;57:2248–2260)</P>

Phase II Study on Dose Escalating Schedule of Paclitaxel Concurrent with Radiotherapy in Treating Patients with Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Cui, Lin,Liu, Xing-Xiang,Jiang, Yong,Liu, Jian-Jun,Zhou, Xiang-Rong,He, Xue-Jun,Chen, Jue,Huang, Xin-En Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.4

Objective: To evaluate clinical efficacy of a dose escalating schedule of paclitaxel concurrent with radiotherapy in treating patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung (NSCLC). Methods: Patients with locally advanced NSCLC were treated with conventional fractionated radiotherapy or three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3 DCRT), concurrently with a dose escalating schedule of paclitaxel. All patients were divided into three groups, A with paclitaxel $30mg/m^2$, B with paclitaxel $60mg/m^2$ and C with paclitaxel $90mg/m^2$. Paclitaxel was repeated every week for a total of 4 or 6 weeks. Results: Among 109 patients, response rates were 68.8%, 71.1% and 71.8% (p>0.05) for group A (n=32), B (n=38), and C (n=39) respectively. Accordingly, disease control rates were 81.3%, 81.6% and 82.1% (p>0.05). Progression-free survival time was $8.0{\pm}5.0$ months, $11.6{\pm}6.1$ months, and $14.8{\pm}7.9$ months (p<0.05), respectively. Overall survival time was $15.4{\pm}7.6$ months, $18.2{\pm}8.0$ months, and $22.0{\pm}7.6$ months (p<0.05), one-year survival rates were 62.5%, 73.1% and 90.0% (p>0.05) and two-year survival rates were 31.3%, 38.5% and 50.0% (p<0.05). Main side-effects were bone marrow suppression, radiation related esophagitis and gastrointestinal reaction. Conclusion: In treating patients with NSCLC, concurrent chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel improves early response compared with conventional fractionated radiotherapy or 3 DCRT. The survival rate was improved with the addition of paclitaxel, but there was an increase in adverse reactions when the dose of paclitaxel was increased.

Maternally derived transcripts: identification and characterisation during oocyte maturation and early cleavage

Cui, Xiang-Shun,Kim, Nam-Hyung CSIRO Publishing 2007 Reproduction, fertility, and development Vol.19 No.1

<P> The identification and characterisation of differentially regulated genes in oocytes and early embryos are required to understand the mechanisms involved in maturation, fertilisation, early cleavage and even long-term development. Several methods, including reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-based suppression subtractive hybridisation, differential display and cDNA microarray, have been applied to identify maternally derived genes in mammalian oocytes. However, conventional gene-knockout experiments to determine specific gene functions are labour intensive and inefficient. Recent developments include the use of RNA interference techniques to establish specific gene functions in mammalian oocytes and early embryos. Regulation of the poly(A) tail length is a major factor in controlling the activities of maternal transcripts in mammals. Further studies are required to clarify the mechanisms by which expression levels of maternally derived transcripts are regulated. In the present review, we focus on the identification and functions of the differentially expressed transcripts during oocyte maturation, fertilisation and early cleavage. </P>

Maternal Gene Transcription in Mouse Oocytes: Genes Implicated in Oocyte Maturation and Fertilization

CUI, Xiang-Shun,LI, Xing-Yu,YIN, Xi-Jun,KONG, IL Keun,KANG, Jason-Jongho,KIM, Nam-Hyung 家畜繁殖硏究所 2007 Journal of Reproduction and Development Vol.53 No.2

<P>Maternal gene expression is an important biological process in oocyte maturation and early cleavage. To gain insights into oocyte maturation and early embryo development, we used microarray analysis to compare the gene expression profiles of germinal vesicle (GV)- and metaphase II (MII)-stage oocytes. The differences in spot intensities were normalized and grouped using the Avadis Prophetic software platform. Of the 12164 genes examined, we found 1682 genes with more highly expression in GV-stage oocytes than in MII-stage oocytes, while 1936 genes were more highly expressed in MII-stage oocytes (P<0.05). The genes were grouped on the basis of the Panther classification system according to their involvement in particular biological processes. The genes that were up-regulated in GV oocytes were more likely to be involved in protein metabolism and modification, the mitotic cell cycle, electron transport, or fertilization or belong to the microtubule/cytoskeletal protein family. The genes specifically upregulated in the MII oocytes were more likely to be involved in DNA replication, amino acid metabolism, or expression of G protein-coupled receptors and signaling molecules. Identification of genes that are preferentially expressed at particular oocyte maturation stages provides insights into the complex gene regulatory networks that drive oocyte maturation and fertilization.</P>
