This study aimed to evaluate the adhesion of Acanthamoeba trophozoites on cosmetic contact lenses (CLs) with and without CL care multipurpose solution (MPS) treatment. lugdunensis L3a were inoculated onto disks trimmed from CLs: 1-day Acuvue moist, define, 2, 2 define. After 18-hour inoculation, number adherent was counted under phase contrast microscopy. The effects MPS, Opti-Free Express, soaking CLs for 6 hours, analyzed. Scanning electron microscopic examination performed assessment...
본 연구는 한우의 도체형질들에 대한 유전적 변이를 분석방법에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 한우 후대검정자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 도체성적 관련 자료는 가축개량사업소와 한우개량단지에서 1996 년부터 2001 년까지 태어난 후대검정우 1526두로부터 조사었다. 한우에 있어서 주요 개량형질인 육량과 육질에 영향하는 도체중, 도체율,배최장근단면적, 등지방두께, 근내지방도를 대상으로 유전력과 유전상관을 추정하였다. 유전모수 추정에 REML 분석법과 Bayesian추론방법으로써 Gibbs Sampling 분석법을 사용하였는데 각각의 모수들에 Sampler는 100,000회 실시하였고 초기 1,000회는 모수의 사후분포에 부정확성으로 간주하여 사후분포특성 규명에서 제외하였다. 형질들에 유전변이는 이러한 두 가지 분석방법을 상호 비교 함으로써 최적의 통계분석 방법을 모색하였다. 도체형질에 유전력 추정은 통한 추정에서는 근내지방도가 0.51로 고도의 유전력을...
Free-living amoebas (FLAs) can cause severe disease in humans and animals when they become infected. However, there are no accurate survey reports on the prevalence of FLAs Korea. In this study, we collected 163 tap water samples from buildings, apartments, restrooms highway service areas 7 Korean provinces with high population density. All these buildings facilities have storage tanks common. The was separated into categories areas. Five hundred milliliters each building filtered 0.2 µm...
In a previous study, our research group demonstrated that sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) extracts ameliorated allergic airway inflammation through CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T (regulatory T; Treg) cell activation and recruitment to the lung. this we aimed determine which components of contribute amelioration inflammation. We used n-hexane fractionation separate into three phases (n-hexane, alcohol, solid) evaluated ability each phase elevate Il10 expression in splenocytes ameliorate symptoms...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the efficacy microbial elimination using different sanitizers in raw vegetables (cherry tomatoes, spring onions, Chinese chives, and chicory) analyze Escherichia coli O157:H7 reduction by type sanitizer vegetable. Design/methodology/approach To assess sanitizing effects variety vegetable, samples were grouped into four washing methods: control (no sanitizer), 100 ppm chlorine, electrolyzed water, 200 water after prewashing. Subsequently,...
Age-related effects are often included as covariates in the analytical model for genome-wide association analysis of quantitative traits reflecting human health. Nevertheless, previous studies have hardly examined age on proportion variation explained by single nucleotide polymorphisms (PVSNP) these traits. In this study, PVSNP estimates body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, pulse pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, triglyceride level (TG), low-density and glucose were...
Sea cucumber extracts have potent biological effects, including anti-viral, anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammation effects. To understand their anti-asthma we induced allergic airway inflammation in mice after 7 oral administrations of the extract. The hyper-responsiveness value with ovalbumin (OVA)-alum-induced asthma injection sea was significantly lower than that OVA-alum-induced group. In addition, number eosinophils lungs asthma-induced pre-treated extract...
The aim of the study was to evaluate effect multipurpose contact lens (CL) solution (MPS) combined with autophagy inhibitors on adhesion properties Acanthamoeba castellanii (AC) trophozoites silicone hydrogel CLs.AC were inoculated onto discs trimmed from a CL plasma surface treatment. After 18 hours, number adherent AC treated MPS counted under phase-contrast microscopy. We analyzed efficacy inhibitors, 3-methyladenine (0.1, 1, and 5 mM) chloroquine (10, 100 μM, 1 mM), by electron...
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects on growth, survival and anti-inflammatory cytokine (Interleukin-10) using with Nannochloropsis concentration in diets of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus.In first experiment, 60 days feeding trail was evaluate growth performance fed six experimental containing different inclusion level oculata (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) recirculating aquaculture system.Specific rate (SGR) food conversion efficiency (FCE) diet 8% algae significantly...
The olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is one of the most economically important fish species in South Korea’s aquaculture industry. However, Edwardsiellosis, caused by Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda), poses a significant threat to this industry, resulting high mortality rates and economic losses. aim study identify genetic loci associated with Edwardsiellosis resistance using genome-wide association (GWAS). A challenge experiment was conducted, infecting 2,939 flounders E. recording...
The high percentage of Vermamoeba was found in tap water Korea. This study investigated whether induced allergic airway inflammation mice. We selected 2 free-living amoebas (FLAs) isolated from water, which included Korean FLA 5 (KFA5; vermiformis) and 21 (an homolog Acanthamoeba lugdunensis KA/ E2). axenically cultured KFA5 KFA21. applied approximately 1 × 106 to mice's nasal passages 6 times their pathogenicity. resistance value significantly increased after KFA21 treatments. eosinophil...
