  • This study was to evaluate the effect of Bulhwangeumjeonggi-san (BS) on mouse Th1 and Th2 cells' differentiation and ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic inflammation. The proliferation of mouse CD4 T cells and the secretion of Th1/Th2 cytokines under the influence of BS extract were measured as well as the amount ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase in RBL-wH3 cells and the levels of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 secretion in Raw264.7 cells. BALB/c mice were orally administered with BS extract and simultaneously inoculated with OVA to induce allergic reaction and measure the level of total lgE, OVA-specific lgE and the production of IFN- g, IL-4, IL-5 by the spleen cells. When mouse CD4- T cell were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 for 48 hours in various concentrations of BS extract, it increased proliferation of CD4 cells by 14% in 50 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration but it showed an inhibition in higher concentrations. CD4 T cells under Th1/Th2 polarizing conditions for 3 days with BS resulted in mild decrease of IFN- g in Th1 cells and mild increase of IL-4 in Th2 cell at 50 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ but the level of IL-4 decreased by 18% at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. BS extract had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on antigen-induced release of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase in RBL-2H3 cells. Treatment of BS extract on LPS stimulated Raw 264.7 cells showed dose-dependent decrease in TNF-${\alpha}$ production. Oral administration of BS extract on OVA-induced allergic mice showed an inhibitory effect on the levels of total serum lgE and OVA-specific lgE by 50% and 55%, respectively. Culture of spleen cells with OVA resulted in significant increase of IFN- g by 25% and significant decrease of IL-4 and IL-5 by 53%, and 38%, respectively. The results show that BS does not strongly induce mouse T cells to transform into Th1 or Th2 but it has an anti-allergic effect in vitro, and that it also corrects the unbalance between the reactions of Th cells in allergic diseases.

  • Spermatogonial stem cells은 sperrnatogenesis에서 중요한 역할을 하며, 곡세정관의 기저막에 위치하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 그 동안 이 세포에 특이하게 발현되는 marker가 거의 알려져 있지 않아 spermatogonial stem cell의 연구에 많은 어려움을 가져왔다. 최근 일반적인 stem cell이 갖는 특성 중, 기저막과 상호작용을 하는 surface protein으로 integrin이 존재한다는 사실을 이용하여, anti-$\alpha$$_{6}$/ 또는 anti-$\beta$$_1$ integrin항체로 germ cell을 선발하여 정소에 이식한 결과, 높은 효율로 이식세포유래의 정자발생이 가능하다는 결과가 보고되었다 (Shinohara et al., 1999). 한편, 항암제의 일종인 busulfan을 마우스에 투여(40mg/kg)한 후 4-5주가 경과하면 세정관의 기저막에 위치하는 spermatogonia를 제외하고 대부분의 생식세포는 소멸한다 본 실험의 목적은 이러한 사실들을 이용하여 spermatogonial stem cell의 특성을 밝히고, 이 생식세포를 보다 간편하고 손쉽게 선발할 수 있는 시스템을 확립하는데 있다. Busulfan처리 후 5주가 경과된 마우스와 정상적인 13주령의 마우스 testis로부터 세포를 분리한 후 FITC-conjugated anti-IgG를 이용한 면역형광법으로 측정.분석한 결과, 형광표식된 세포비율이 대조군과 비교하여 busulfan을 처리한 경우에서 유의적인 증가를 보였다.(17$\pm$3.8%. 0.7$\pm$0.3% busulfan vs control). 또한, IgG와 결합한 단백질이 존재하는 이들 세포들은 곡세정관의 기저막을 따라 위치하며, 단백질과 복합체를 형성한 IgG는 anti-Ig $G_{2a}$와 반응하지 않는다는 사실을 관찰했다. 이러한 IgG 복합체를 형성한 세포들의 특성을 이용하여, IgG와 반응을 하지 않는 것으로 확인된 이차 항체인 an1i-Ig $G_{2}$와 일차 항체인 anti-$\alpha$$_{6}$ 또는 anti-$\beta$$_1$ integrin항체를 이용하여 측정.분석하였다. Busulfan을 처리한 마우스 정소에서 분리한 세포를 다시 laminin으로 코팅된 dish에서 선발.회수해서, anti-lgG, anti-$\alpha$$_{6}$ 또는 anti-$\beta$$_1$ integrin항체로 각각 표식된 세포비율을 비교하였다. Laminin으로부터 선발.회수한 세포에서는 IgG복합체가 $\alpha$$_{6}$ 또 는 $\beta$$_1$integrin과 거의 같은 수준에서 높은 비율로 표식되었다. 결론적으로, busulfan에 의해 유도된 IgG와 결합가능한 단백질은 $\alpha$$_{6}$$\beta$$_1$ integrin과 마찬가지로 immunoglobulin G를 이용하여 spermatogonial stem cell의 선발을 가능하게 했다. 따라서, busulfan처리시 IgG는 미분화된 정조세포의 선발을 위한 하나의 marker로서 사용가능함을 시사한다.다.

  • Inflammatory and fibrotic responses are accelerated during the reperfusion period, and excessive fibrosis and inflammation contribute to cardiac malfunction. NecroX compounds have been shown to protect the liver and heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to further define the role and mechanism of action of NecroX-5 in regulating inflammation and fibrosis responses in a model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR). We utilized HR-treated rat hearts and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated H9C2 culture cells in the presence or absence of NecroX-5 ($10{\mu}mol/L$) treatment as experimental models. Addition of NecroX-5 significantly increased decorin (Dcn) expression levels in HR-treated hearts. In contrast, expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 ($TGF{\beta}1$) and Smad2 phosphorylation (pSmad2) was strongly attenuated in NecroX-5-treated hearts. In addition, significantly increased production of tumor necrosis factor alpha ($TNF{\alpha}$), $TGF{\beta}1$, and pSmad2, and markedly decreased Dcn expression levels, were observed in LPS-stimulated H9C2 cells. Interestingly, NecroX-5 supplementation effectively attenuated the increased expression levels of $TNF{\alpha}$, $TGF{\beta}1$, and pSmad2, as well as the decreased expression of Dcn. Thus, our data demonstrate potential antiinflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects of NecroX-5 against cardiac HR injuries via modulation of the $TNF{\alpha}/Dcn/TGF{\beta}1/Smad2$ pathway.

  • 올리고머형 음이온성 계면활성제로서 소수성인 측쇄알킬기의 탄소수와 중합도가 다른 말레인산디에틸에스테르계(CmD-Na계) 또는 무수말레인산계(CmM-Na계)와 탄소수가 $C_4{\sim}C_{16}$인 알킬비닐에테르 공중합물을 분산제로 사용하여 분산이 잘 안되는 ${\alpha}-$${\beta}-$형 copper phthalocyanine과 카본블랙의 미립자에 대하여 수용액중에서의 분산성을 비교검토 하였다. 그 결과 CmD-Na계의 측쇄알킬기의 탄소수가 $C_4{\sim}C_{10}$인 경우에는 0.01~0.1% 농도범위에서 우수한 분산효과를 나타내었고, 특히 측쇄알킬기가 안료입자 표면으로의 배향흡착에 중요한 역할을 하며, 중합도가 낮은 것이 효과적으로 나타났다. 그러나 카본블랙인 경우에는 이와 무관한 결과를 나타내었다.

  • 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA는 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서 광대역 시스템의 구현에 효과적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 콘볼류션 코딩을 적용한 중복된 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA 시스템을 제안하고, 기존의 멀티캐리어 시스템과 비교하여 성능의 우수성을 입증한다. 제안된 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA 시스템을 분할된 각 서브밴드를 가용주파수 대역 내에서 보다 효율적으로 구성하기 위하여 50% 중복 (overlapping) 된 구조를 갖도록 한다. 그리고 전송률이 1/M인 콘볼루션 채널코딩과 반복율이 1/R인 반복코딩을 적용하여 채널 코딩에 의한 이득과 주파수 다이버시티 (frequency diversity) 효과를 동시에 획득하고, 또한 MUI(Multiple User Interference)를 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 각 서브밴드의 확산신호에 raised-cosine 칩 성형필터를 적용하였다. 사용된 칩 성형필터의 rolloff 인자 (0< ${\beta}{\le}1$)의 변화에 따른 MUI를 분석하여 기존의 멀티캐리어 시스템의 성능보다 우수함을 보인다.

  • A kinetic study is reported on nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl picolinates (7a-7h) with a series of cyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. Comparison of the kinetic results with those reported previously for the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl benzoates (1a-1f) reveals that 7a-7h are significantly more reactive than 1a-1f. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the aminolysis of 4-nitrophenyl picolinate (7a) is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}=0.78$, which is typical for reactions proceeding through a stepwise mechanism with expulsion of the leaving group being the rate-determining step. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots for the piperidinolysis of 7a-7h and 1a-1f are also linear with ${\beta}_{lg}=-1.04$ and -1.39, respectively, indicating that the more reactive 7a-7h are less selective than the less reactive 1a-1f to the leaving-group basicity. One might suggest that the enhanced reactivity of 7a-7h is due to the inductive effect exerted by the electronegative N atom in the picolinyl moiety, while the decreased selectivity of the more reactive substrates is in accord with the reactivity-selectivity principle. However, the nature of intermediate (e.g., a stabilized cyclic intermediate through the intramolecular H-bonding interaction for the reactions of 7a-7h, which is structurally not possible for the reactions of 1a-1f) is also responsible for the enhanced reactivity with a decreased selectivity.

  • Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic displacement reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted-cinnamates (4a-4e) and Y-substituted-phenyl cinnamates (5a-5e) with Z-substituted-phenoxide anions in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 4a-4e with 4-chlorophenoxide (4-$ClPhO^-$) consists of two intersecting straight lines, which might be taken as a change in the rate-determining step (RDS). However, it has been concluded that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the RDS but is caused by stabilization of the ground state of substrates possessing an electron-withdrawing group in the cinnamoyl moiety through resonance interactions, since the Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\rho}X=0.89$ and r = 0.58. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl cinnamate (4c) with Z-substituted-phenoxides is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}=0.76$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl cinnamates (5a-5d) with 4-chlorophenoxides (4-$ClPhO^-$) is also linear with ${\beta}_{lg}=-0.72$. The Hammett plot correlated with ${\sigma}^-$ constants for the reactions of 5a-5d results in a much better linear correlation than that correlated with ${\sigma}^o$ constants, indicating that a partial negative charge develops on the O atom of the leaving aryloxide. Thus, the reactions have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism.

  • 본 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 카제인 나트륨, 유청 단백질 분리물, 탈지분유 및 전지분유에 TGase를 첨가하여 단백질 이동특성 및 pepsin에 의한 가수분해 정도를 조사하였다. 우유 단백질과 분말 제품들을 TGase로 2시간 동안 반응시킨 후 전기영동을 실시한 결과 모든 시료에서 고분자량의 중합체를 형성하였으며 가교결합 정도는 카제인 나트륨 >탈지분유 >전지분유 >유청 단백질 분리물 순으로 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 인체 내 소화효소인 pepsin에 의하여 가수분해된 카제인 나트륨은 10kDa 이하의 펩타이드로 분해됐고, 유청 단백질은 분해 전, 후 양상이 유사하였다. 유청 단백질 중 ${\beta}-Lg$는 pepsin에 의해 거의 분해되지 않고 저항성을 보였다. 탈지분유, 전지분유 역시 더 낮은 분자량의 펩타이드가 관찰되었는 바, in vitro 상에서의 TGase작용으로 인한 교차결합은 소화효소에 의한 가수분해가 용이함을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 TGase를 첨가하여 새로운 유제품을 개발, 이용하는데 인체내에서의 소화에 거의 문제가 없을 것임을 시사하는 것으로 보인다.

  • Background: Naturally occurring antioxidants were used to regulate the skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation because several antioxidants have demonstrated that they can inhibit wrinkle formation through prevention of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and/or increase of collagen synthesis. We examined the effect of oral administration of the antioxidant mixture ("L-Skin Care") on UVB-induced wrinkle formation. In addition, we investigated the possible molecular mechanisms of photoprotection against UVB through inhibition of collagen-degrading MMP activity or through enhancing of pro collagen synthesis in mouse dorsal skin. Methods: Female SKH-l hairless mice were orally administrated "L-Skin Care" (test group) or vehicle (control group) for 10 weeks with UVB irradiation by three times a week. The intensity of irradiation was gradually increased from 30 to $180mJ/cm^2$. Microtopographic and histological assessments of the dorsal skins were carried out at the end of 10 weeks to evaluate wrinkle formation. Western blot analysis and EMSA were also carried out to investigate the changes in the balance of collagen synthesis and collagen degradation. Results: Our "L-Skin Care" significantly reduced UVB-induced wrinkle formation, accompanied by significant reduction of epidermal thickness, and UVB-induced hyperplasia, acanthosis and hyperkeratosis. Oral administration of "L-Skin Care" significantly prevented UVB-induced expressions of MMPs, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and activation of activator protein (AP)-1 transcriptional factor in addition to enhanced type I procollagen and transforming growth factor-$\beta$ (TGF-$\beta$) expression. Conclusion: Oral administration of "L-Skin Care" significantly inhibited wrinkle formation caused by chronic UVB irradiation through significant inhibition of UVB-induced MMP activity accompanied with enhancement of collagen synthesis.
