Human leptospirosis was an unfamiliar disease in Korea until 1984 that outbreak of leptospirosis occurred among farmers and soldiers after field works for harvesting rice. During that time, Lee and Jo confirmed the first Korean cases of leptospirosis by serological test, isolation of causative agent and autopy findings. Afterward several outbreaks occurred also during autumn especially after flood in every years and some characterisitcs of leptospirosis in Korea such as clinical manifestations, serotypes and seroepidemiological features has been revealed by many investigators. Because of the major mode of transmission between rodents and human is by direct contact with leptospiral urine of rodents or contaminated soil by the urine, leptospirosis in Korea has been primarily a disease of person in occupations heavily exposed to contaminated soil or infected urine such as farmer, army and etc. Therefore it seems that leptospirosis is one of the main communicable diseases to be controlled urgently in Korea, for an agricultural people account for almost half of total Korean people. For clarifying the seroepidemiological patterns of human leptospirosis in Korea by sex, month region and main reacting serovars of L. interrogans among acute febrile disease occurred in 1987, 1,773 patient's sers with acute febrile episodes were tested by microagglutination test using 19 representative strains of leptospiral serogroup as antigen. All of those sera were collected from 10 collaborative clinics located in Kyunggi, Kangwon, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Chonbuk, Chonnam province and Seoul. The results wee summerized as follows. 1) Among 1,773 sera of patients with acute febrile episodes, 219 (12.4%) were seropositive to L. interrogans, 487(27.5%) to R. tsutsugamushi, 241(13.6%) to R.typhi and 160(90.0%) to Hantaan virus. 2) Among seropositives to L.interrogans, the male outnumbered the female, 65% and 35%. 3) For age distribution, 26.9% of seropositives to L.interrogans were fifties, 19.6% were forties, 9.1% were sixties, 5.9% were thirties and 4.1% were twenties. 4) Eighty three percent of seropositives had occurred between September and October in 1987 with a peak in September. 5) Main leptospiral serovars reactive to patient's sera were Icterohaemorrhagiae(54.3%), Canicola(31.0%), CH-48(13.2%), Tarassovi(0.9%)and Cynopteri(0.5%). 6) For regional distribution, 65.8% of seropositives to L.interrogans were residents from Chonbuk, 12.3% were Chonnam, 7.3% were Chungnam, 5.5% were Kyunggi and 1.4% were Kangwon.

Carbon contribution of sea ice floes in the Arctic Ocean

Lee, S.H.,Kyung Kim, B.,Joo, H.T.,Woo Park, J.,Han Lee, J.,Joo, H.M.,Byoul Lee, D.,Kang, C.K.,Kang, S.H. Pergamon Press 2015 Deep-sea research. Part II, Topical studies in oce Vol.120 No.-

To estimate detailed contributions of particulate organic carbon (POC) as a potential food source in various environments of the Arctic sea ice floes, intensive investigations were executed at two different types of sea ice stations (ST 1 and ST 2) in the northern Chukchi Sea during the summer period in 2011. The average uptake rates of carbon and nitrogen in melt ponds from this study were within the range measured previously. The surface ice of melt ponds at ST 1 had the highest POC concentration with a mean of 148.0mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP> (S.D.=+/-86.0mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP>), followed by sea ice cores at ST 2 (mean+/-S.D.=125.7+/-128.2mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP>). The POC concentrations in melt ponds ranged between 90.0mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP> (S.D.=+/-12.7mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP>) and 103.9mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP> (S.D.=+/-47.7mgCm<SUP>-3</SUP>) at ST 1 and ST 2, respectively. Major POC contributors to melt ponds were diatoms with a mean biovolume contribution of 48.7% (S.D.=+/-39.1%) which was strongly related to in situ salinity. Although the total POC concentration of entire sea ice floes ranged from 2.8% to 5.3% of the POC concentration within the euphotic water column at the study locations, the carbon contribution of sea ice floes could be important to higher trophic levels because of the concentrated POC within sea ice floes.

Butyric acid production from softwood hydrolysate by acetate-consuming Clostridium sp. S1 with high butyric acid yield and selectivity

Kim, M.,Kim, K.Y.,Lee, K.M.,Youn, S.H.,Lee, S.M.,Woo, H.M.,Oh, M.K.,Um, Y. Elsevier Applied Science 2016 Bioresource technology Vol.218 No.-

The aim of this work was to study the butyric acid production from softwood hydrolysate by acetate-consuming Clostridium sp. S1. Results showed that Clostridium sp. S1 produced butyric acid by simultaneously utilizing glucose and mannose in softwood hydrolysate and, more remarkably, it consumed acetic acid in hydrolysate. Clostridium sp. S1 utilized each of glucose, mannose, and xylose as well as mixed sugars simultaneously with partially repressed xylose utilization. When softwood (Japanese larch) hydrolysate containing glucose and mannose as the main sugars was used, Clostridium sp. S1 produced 21.17g/L butyric acid with the yield of 0.47g/g sugar and the selectivity of 1 (g butyric acid/g total acids) owing to the consumption of acetic acid in hydrolysate. The results demonstrate potential of Clostridium sp. S1 to produce butyric acid selectively and effectively from hydrolysate not only by utilizing mixed sugars simultaneously but also by converting acetic acid to butyric acid.

Pulchellamin G, an amino acid-sesquiterpene lactone, from Saussurea pulchella suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses via heme oxygenase-1 expression in murine peritoneal macrophages

Lee, D.S.,Choi, H.G.,Wan Woo, K.,Kang, D.G.,Lee, H.S.,Oh, H.,Ro Lee, K.,Kim, Y.C. North-Holland ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2013 european journal of pharmacology Vol.715 No.1

Saussurea pulchella (Asteraceae) is widely distributed in Korea and has been used in Korean folk medicine for the treatment of inflammation, hypertension, hepatitis, and arthritis. Pulchellamin G is an amino acid-sesquiterpene lactone conjugate isolated from S. pulchella. In the present study, we focused on the anti-inflammatory effect of pulchellamin G, which acts by inducing the expression of heme oxygenase (HO)-1. HO-1 plays important roles in cytoprotection since it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and antiapoptotic properties. Pulchellamin G inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), iNOS-derived nitric oxide (NO), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and COX-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE<SUB>2</SUB>) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine peritoneal macrophages. The compound also reduced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production and suppressed the phosphorylation and degradation of IκB-α and nuclear translocation of p65 in murine peritoneal macrophages in response to LPS stimulus. The inhibitory effects of pulchellamin G on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) translocation was impaired by co-treatment of the cells with HO activity inhibitor tin protoporphyrin (SnPP). By using SnPP, we verified that the inhibitory effects of pulchellamin G on the pro-inflammatory mediators NO, PGE<SUB>2</SUB>, TNF-α, and IL-1β are associated with induction of HO-1 expression. Our data suggest that pulchellamin G might have potent therapeutic effects and it should be considered in the development of treatments for various inflammatory diseases.

Retention behavior of microparticles in gravitational field-flow fractionation (GrFFF): Effect of ionic strength

Woo, I.S.,Jung, E.C.,Lee, S. Pergamon Press ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2015 Talanta Vol.132 No.-

Retention behavior of micron-sized particles in gravitational field-flow fractionation (GrFFF) was studied in this study. Effects of ionic strength and flow rate as well as the viscosity of the GrFFF carrier liquid was investigated on the size-based selectivity (S<SUB>d</SUB>), retention ratio ®, and plate height (H) of micron-sized particles using polystyrene latex beads as model particles. It was found that the retention ratio of microparticles increases with increasing flow rate or the viscosity of the carrier liquid as the particles are forced away from the accumulation wall by increased hydrodynamic lift forces (HLF). On the other hand, the retention time increases (retention ratio decreases) with increasing ionic strength of the carrier liquid at the same flow rate, due to decreased repulsive interaction between the particles and the channel accumulation wall (glass in this study) allowing the particles approach closer to the wall. Results suggest the ionic strength of the carrier liquid plays a critical role in determining retention of microparticles in GrFFF as well as the viscosity or the flow rate of the carrier liquid. It was found that the resolution and the separation time could be improved by increasing the carrier viscosity and by carefully adjusting the ionic strength of the carrier liquid.

본 연구는 6종류의 완전배합발효사료(Total mixed fermentation feed: TMFF)의 착유우에 대한 영양적 가치를 구명하고자 수행되었다. 옥수수, 혼합목초, 호맥, 유채, 알팔파 및 연맥의 6종의 사료작물 청예가 수확되었고, 볏짚과 밀기울이 배합되었으며, 옥수수와 콩알곡을 배합하였다. 그리고 각각의 배합물들은 40톤 규모의 트렌치 사일로에 진압·저장하였으며, 성분분석과 젖소 급여시험을 위해 최소 60일 이상 경과 후에 개봉하였다. TMFF의 평균 건물 함량은 23.98∼28.42%범위였으며, 조단백질 함량은 16.2∼19.2%이었고, 가소화영양소총량(TDN)은 58.3∼65.1% 수준이었다. ADF 함량은 34.4∼39.6% 범위에서, NDF 함량은 46.9∼49.9% 범위를 나타내어 상대적사료가치(RFV)는 유채-, 알팔파-, 혼합목초-, 연맥-, 옥수수-, 호맥-TMFF에서 각각 138.6, 133.9, 116.5, 111.8, 111.4, 108.1으로 나타나, 호맥-TMFF의 것이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타내었다(P<0.05). 건물손실율은 0.8∼1.9% 범위로서 모든 TMFF에서 양호한 발효와 보관상태를 나타내었으며, pH는 전체적으로 3.89∼4.87이었으며, 암모니아태질소(NH_3-N) 함량은 6.93∼8.66 ㎎/㎗이었다. 그리고 TMFF원물내의 휘발성지방산 함량 중 초산 함량은 0.19∼0.57% 낮은 함량을 나타내었고, 젖산 함량은 1.17∼3.21%으로 매우 높게 나타내었으며, 부틸산 함량은 0.03∼0.32%로서 매우 낮게 나타나 TMFF의 품질이 양호한 것으로 나타내었다. 그리고 발효가 완료된 TMFF를 평균 착유일수 240일, 2.4산차, 44.3개월령, 일일산유량 21.2㎏, 체중 574.6㎏, 체충실지수(BCS) 3.2인 42두에 무제한으로 급여하여 총 60일간의 섭취량 조사와 월별 체중 및 BCS를 조사한 결과, 초종별 TMFF의 평균 일일 총 섭취량은 알팔파-, 혼합목초-, 유채-, 옥수수-, 연맥-, 호맥-TMFF구에서 62.85, 60.48, 58.04, 57.11, 54.61, 45.74㎏의 순서로 각각 높게 나타내어 전체적으로 기호성이 우수한 것으로 나타내었으며, 호맥-TMFF구의 기호성이 가장 낮게 나타내었다(P<0.05). 이때 젖소의 체중에 대한 TMFF의 건물섭취율은 1.95∼2.90%로서 모든 TMFF의 기호성이 매우 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다. TMFF의 급여시험기간 중의 체중변화와 체충실지수(BCS)에 있어서 시험기간 60일 동안 모든 공시축에서 체중증가가 있었으며, 기간의 평균 두당 일당증체량은 140.0∼326.7g으로서 기호성이 가장 좋았던 알팔파-TMFF구에서 역시 가장 높은 증체를 보였으며, 기호성이 가장 낮았던 호맥-TMFF구에서 가장 낮은 증체를 나타내었다(P<0.05). 신체충실지수의 변화에 있어서는 혼합목초-TMFF구가 개시시의 3.07에서 3.34로 가장 크게 증가하였고, 호맥-TMFF구에서 3.34에서 3.30으로 약간 감소하여 나타냄으로서 증체량과 신체충실지수와는 비슷한 경향을 보였으나 일치하지는 않은 것으로 나타내었다(P<0.05). 그리고 평균 두당 우유생산성은 알팔파-, 연맥-, 혼합목초-, 옥수수-, 유채-, 호맥-TMFF구의 순서로 일일평균 16.16∼18.95 ㎏ 범위에서 시험구간에 유의한 차이를 나타내었으며(P<0.05), 일일 산유량의 변화에 있어서는 시험 개시시의 평균 21.2㎏에서 60일 후 시험 종료시에 모든 시험구에서 5㎏ 정도 감소하여 나타내었는데, 이는 시험종료시는 대부분의 시험축의 착유일수가 300일 이상의 비유말기에 이르렀기 때문으로 사료된다. 우유의 성분 함량에 있어서 시험기간 중 평균지방 함량은 전체적으로 4.06∼4.79% 범위에서 매우 높은 유지방 함량을 나타내어 유채-, 혼합목초-, 옥수수-, 알팔파-, 호맥-, 연맥-TMFF구의 순서로 높았으며, 단백질 함량은 3.15∼3.54% 범위에서 혼합목초-, 옥수수-, 유채-, 호맥-, 연맥-, 알팔파-TMFF구의 순서로 높게 나타내었다. 또한, 유당 함량에 있어서는 전체 평균이 4.56% 내외로서 서로 비슷한 함량을 나타내었으며, 무지고형분량과 총 고형분함량에 있어서도 전체 평균이 8.75%와 12.8% 내외로 시험구간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타내었는데, TMFF 급여에 의해 우유중 성분 함량에 있어서 어떠한 경향을 찾을 수 없었다. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the value of total mixed fermentation feeds(TMFF) as completely mixed ration and to observe the effect of various kinds of TMFF on the palatability. feed intake, and milk performance in Holstein cows. The dry matter (DM) content of TMFF used in the experiment was 23.98~28.42% range. and CP. TDN. ADF and NDF were 16.2~19.2%, 58.3~65.1%, 34.4~39.6% and 46.9~49.9% levels, respectively. The relative feed value (RFV) in rape-, alfalfa-, grass-, oat-, corn-TMFF groups were 138.6, 133.9, 116.5, 111.8, 111.4 and 108.1, respectively. Among theses groups RFV of rye-TMFF group was lowest. Dry matter disappearance(DMD) showed 0.8~1.9% to the all kinds of TMFF groups. The pH was 3.89~4.87 and NH_3-N concentration was 6.93~8.66㎎/㎗. The acetic acid concentration in the raw material of TMFF showed low level of 0.19~0.57% lactic acid showed high level of 1.17~3.21% and butyric acid was very high as 0.03~0.32% Therefore. These results provide evidence that the quality of TMFF was not so bad. In the daily fresh matter intake on the alfalfa-, grass-, rape-, corn-, oats- and rye-TMFF were showed 62.85, 60.48, 58.04, 57.11, 54.61 and 45.74 ㎏ respectively. All TMFF showed high palatability as daily dry matter intake of 1.95 to 2.90% by body weight of experimental cows. Body condition score(BCS) was gradually increased in during 60 days of the experiment term. Average daily gain(ADG) showed about 140.0~326.7g. In alfalfa-TMFF group, the ADG was higher than in the other groups (P<0.05). Also, the increase in BCS was observed in grass-TMFF group (3.07 to 3.34) and rye-TMFF group was decreased in 3.07 to 3.34 (P<0.05). The milk yield appropriately showed a range of 16.16~18.95 ㎏ in all groups. Among these groups. alfalfa-TMFF group was highest(P<0.05). Average milk fat contents showed high levels of 4.06~4.79% and the level was high in order of rape-, grass-, corn-, alfalfa-, rye- and oats-TMFF. Milk protein was highest in forage-TMFF and level of lactose in milk was approximately 4.56% in overall groups. Solid non fat(SNF) and total solid(TS) contents were 8.75% and 12.8% respectively. However, milk composition was not significantly affected by TMFF.

반추동물에서 적당한 조사료의 공급은 젖소의 정상적인 반추 기능을 위해서 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구는 사료 작물 종류별, 볏짚 및 곡류의 가공 상태를 달리하여 제조한 TMFF에 대하여 일반 성분, RFV 및 면양의 반추위 성상 변화를 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 청예작물인 옥수수, 목초, 호밀, 유채, 알팔파와 귀리를 주구로 하고 곡류 가공 수준을 무가공(대조구), 거칠게 분쇄 (7∼14㎜ mesh 이상), 일반분쇄 (7㎜ 이하)를 세구로 하여 조제한 각각의 TMFF에 대한 일반 성분을 조사하였다. 또한 Fistula가 부착된 면양 8두를 이용한 반추위 성상과 기호성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유채 TMFF는 상대적 사료가 (RFV)와 일당 사료 섭취량, A/P 비율에 있어서 다른 처리구 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 옥수수 TMFF를 급여한 면양의 반추위 VFA 함량은 90.9 mmol%로서 다른 처리구 보다 높았으며, 또한 사료의 pH도 3.82로서 가장 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 TMFF에 있어서 휘발성 지방산 각각에 대한 차이는 찾을 수 없었다. 결론적으로 곡류 가공 방법에 따른 효과는 나타나지 않았지만 상대적 사료가와 기호성, 건물 손실율만을 고려하여 우수성을 판단할 때 유채, 옥수수, 알팔파, 목초, 귀리, 호밀 TMFF의 순서로 나타났다. Adequate forage amounts in ruminant animal are necessary for proper ruminal function in dairy cow. This study was carried out to determine the effect of total mixed fermentation feeds made by different green forage crops and grain processings on chemical compositions, RFV (relative feed value) and ruminal characteristics in sheep. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with 4 replications. The main plot consisted of 6 kinds of green forages (corn, grass, rye, rape, alfalfa and oat) and the sub plots three different grain processings such as non-milling, half milling (7㎜ mesh over). and regular milling (7㎜ mesh below). And the different TMFFs (total mixed fermentation feeds) were analyzed for chemical composition and fed to 8 ruminally fistulated sheep for ruminal charactics and palatability. RFV, daily feed intake, acetate/propionate ratio of the rape-TMFFs were higher compared with the other treatment. Ruminal content of VFA (volatile fatty acid) of com-TMFF was highest as 90.19 mmol% and pH of the feed was lowest as 3.82. But, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid were no difference among treatments. In conclusion, the effect of grain proceeding was not appeared but if consider of only RFV, palatability and dry matter disappearance, grade of TMFF was improved in order of rape-, corn-, alfalfa-, grass-, oat- and rye-TMFF.

Three kinds of green forages(rye, oats and mixed forages) was harvested and mixed with rice straw, wheat bran and 2 grains(corn and soybean), which harvested 2 different dates(common harvesting dates, 7 days early to common harvesting dates). And each mixture was ensiled in 6 poly vinyl chlorides that was 60 liter, immediately. They were opened at 0, 5, 10, 25, 35, 60 and 100 days after ensiling for chemical analysis. And its effects of those TMFFs on feed values were observed. Average contents of water, crude protein, ADF, NDF, Ca and P of formulated TMFs were 72 to 75%, 14.75 to 18.24, 12.47 to 19.07, 39.82 to 47.01, 0.99 to 1.07 and 0.38 to respectively. Crude protein content was the highest in the mixed forages-TMFF and the lowest in the rye-TMFF. The ADF and NDF contents of rye-TMFF were higher than others. And CP, ADF, NDF, TDN, P and Ca contents were no significant difference among treatments regardless of storage period and harvest time, but all treatments indicated good quality. Intenal temperatures of TMFF were shown to be 1 to 5℃ higher than ambient temperatures. The temperature of the Oat-TMFF formulated during winter sustained higher to the level of 6∼9℃ for 10 days. The pH of TMFF were 4.0 to 4.2 and the content of NH_3-N was shown to be 7.79 to 8.23㎎/㎗. In the VFA contents, any tendency was not shown at all treatments depending on harvest time. Even though rye-TMFF showed the lowest VFA value. At all treatments except rye-TMFF, propionate production was increased and stable after 25 days of storage. Digestibility of rice straw from TMFF on DM basis was 15∼20% higher compared with non-treated rice straw.
