Objectives : Hindered barrier function of vascular endothelium has been implicated in the initiation and progression of degenerative vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. In this study, the effect of Sunghyangchungisan(SHCS) as a protectant against oxidant-induced destruction of endothelial barrier function was assessed. Methods : Toward this end, endothelial cells derived from the human umbilical vein were cultured as monolayers on permeable membrane filters. Endothelial permeability was monitored by measuring transendothelial electrical resistance and movement of low density lipoprotein (LDL) across the endothelial monolayer. Results : Along with increased movement of LDL, $H_2O_2$-induced increase in endothelial permeability was paralleled by a decrease in transendotheliaI electrical resistance. The effect of $H_2O_2$ was mimicked by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a potent activator of proteinkinase C. Calphostin-C, a protein kinase C inhibitor, effectively blocked the increase in endothelial permeability induced by $H_2O_2$ or PMA, indicating that activation of protein kinase C is associated with the $H_2O_2-induced$ permeability change. SHCS effectively protected the endothelial monolayer against $H_2O_2-induced$ increase in permeability, whereas, it did not affect PMA-induced change. Forskolin, a potent activator of adenylyl cyclase, antagonized $H_2O_2$ to increase endothelial permeability. In addition, in ${H_2O_2}-treated$ cens, intracenular cAMP concentration was significantly decreased, indicating that impaired cAMP production as well as activation of proteinkinase C is a mechanism underlying ${H_2O_2}>-induced$$H_2O_2$ with regard to its effect on intracellular cAMP content. However, SHCS itself did not affect resting cAMP concentration in endothelial cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that SHCS might operate as an effective protectant against oxidant-induced destruction of endothelial barrier function. The mechanism does not appear to involve direct interaction with protein kinase C- or cAMP-associated signaling mechanism.

소수성 고무상 고분자 PDMS에 NaYzeolite 함량을 1~40 wt%로 달리하여 PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막을 제조하였다. 그리고 FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, SEM에 의해서 막의 특성을 조사하였다. 복합막의 NaYzeolite 함량 변화에 따라 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도와 선택도를 조사하였다. PDMS 단일막은 기체투과 압력이 증가하면 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도와 선택도($H_2/N_2$)가 증가하였다. PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막의 $H_2$와 $N_2$ 투과도는 NaYzeolite 함량 0~10 wt%까지는 증가하고 그 이후부터는 감소하였고, 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 0~2 wt%까지는 감소하고 그 이상에서는 증가하였다. PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막은 $H_2$ 투과도가 증가하면 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 0~2 wt%와 10~40 wt% NaYzeolite 함량 범위에서는 감소하고, 2~10 wt% NaYzeolite 함량 범위에서는 증가하였다.

The promoting effect of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) against the cytotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ($MPP^+$) in differentiated PC12 cells was assessed by measuring the effect on the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Treatment of PC12 cells with $MPP^+$ resulted in the nuclear damage, decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of GSH. Addition of $H_2O_2$ enhanced the $MPP^+-induced$ nuclear damage and cell death. Catalase, Carboxy-PTIO, Mn-TBAP, N-acetylcysteine, cyclosporin A and trifluoperazine inhibited the cytotoxic effect of $MPP^+$ in the presence of $H_2O_2$. Addition of $H_2O_2$ promoted the change in the mitochondrial membrane permeability, ROS formation and decrease in GSH contents due to $MPP^+$ in PC12 cells. The results show that the $H_2O_2$ treatment promotes the cytotoxicity of $MPP^+$ against PC12 cells. $H_2O_2$ may enhance the $MPP^+$-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by promoting the mitochondrial membrane permeability change, release of cytochrome c and subsequent activation of caspase-3, which is associated with the increased formation of ROS and depletion of GSH. The findings suggest that $H_2O_2$ as a promoting agent for the formation of mitochondrial permeability transition may enhance the neuronal cell injury caused by neurotoxins.

This study compared the permeability of $[^3H]taurine,\;[^3H]phenylalanine,\;and\;[^3H]oxytocin$ through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice and rats with common carotid artery perfusion (CCAP) method that modified internal carotid artery perfusion (ICAP) method. External carotid artery (ECA) was cannulated with coagulating pterygopalatine artery (PPA) in ICAP method, while CCA was cannulated without coagulating PPA in CCAP method. Also, for evaluation of BBB permeability of drugs in mice and rats, we used intravenous injection technique. The results of CCAP method in mice at a perfusion flow-rate of 2 ml/min, the brian volume of distribution $(V_D)$ of $[^{14}C]sucrose,\;[^3H]taurine,\;[^3H]phenylalanine,\;and\;[^3H]oxytocin$ were similar to the result of ICAP method in rats at perfusion flow rate of 4 ml/min. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve and brain uptake of $[^3H]taurine$ by intravenous injection technique, were $65.5{\pm}9.7%ID^*min/ml\;and\;0.515{\pm}0.093%ID/g$, respectively, in mice, and the corresponding values were $8.00{\pm}0.03%ID^*min/ml\;and\;0.052{\pm}0.003%ID/g$ in rats. But the BBB permeability surface-area product of $[^3H]taurine$ was similar between mice and rats. In conclusion, the CCAP method in mice was simple, fast and comparable to ICAP method in rats for drug permeability through the BBB.

본 연구에서는 PTMSP[poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)]의 기체투과에 대한 선택도와 열적 안정성, 시간에 따른 노화현상으로 인한 투과특성의 감소를 개선하기 위해서 PTMSP/PDMS[poly(dimethylsioxane)] graft copolymer에 zeolite를 삽입하여 PTMSP/PDMS-NaY zeolite 복합막과 PTMSP/PDMS-NaA zeolite 복합막을 제조하였다. 물리 화학적 특성을 FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, TGA, SEM, GPC을 사용하여 조사하였고, $H_2$와 $N_2$ 기체에 대한 투과도와 선택도 성질을 고찰하였다. PTMSP/PDMS-NaY zeolite 복합막과 PTMSP/PDMS-NaA zeolite 복합막 $H_2$와 $N_2$ 투과도는 PTMSP/PDMS graft copolymer 단일막보다 증가하였고, zeolite 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 반면에 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 zeolite 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. PTMSP/PDMS-NaA zeolite 복합막은 PTMSP/PDMS-NaY zeolite 복합막보다 높은 투과도와 선택도를 보였다.

Amorphous IZO films were deposited on PET substrate by DC magnetron sputtering without substrate heating. In order to investigate effect of reactive gas addition on film properties, 0.2-0.4% of $H_2$ or $O_2$ gas was introduced during the deposition. Deposited IZO films were evaluated with mechanical property, electrical property, and water permeability. In the case of $H_2$ gas addition, mechanical property showed clear degradation compared to $O_2$ gas. In the case of $O_2$ gas, water permeability of the IZO film was increased compared to $H_2$ gas which could be attributed to the low adhesion of the film caused by bombardment of high energy negative oxygen ion. As a result, it is confirmed that water permeability of the film could be strongly affected by adhesion of the film.

(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGGG), a flavonoid found in green tea, is known to have low bioavailability. In this study, we determine whether piperine, a natural bioenhancer, can increase the absorption rate of EGCG. Using a Caco-2 cell monolayer, permeability experiments were performed in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) and EGCG stability was adjusted to pH 6.5 and pH 5.5 by ascorbic acid treatment. When HBSS was adjusted to pH 6.5, EGCG remained at 94.78% for up to 2 h and remained at 86.04% after 4 h and the net efflux decreased compared to the control. As a result, uptake was significantly increased in the piperine co-administered group compared to the EGCG-alone group, showing that piperine increased the permeability of EGCG in the Caco-2 cell monolayer. These results suggest that piperine inhibits EGCG glucuronidation and efflux, allowing for greater absorption of EGCG.

A SiOxCy(-H) thin film was synthesized by atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge(APDBD), and a SiO₂-like layer was formed on the surface of the film by oxidation treatment using oxygen plasma. Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane was used as a precursor for the SiOxCy(-H) synthesis, and He gas was used for stabilizing APDBD. Oxygen permeability was evaluated by forming an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on a PET film. When the single-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film was coated on the PET, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 46% compared with bare PET. In case of three-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 73%. The oxygen permeability was affected by the thickness of the SiO₂-like layer formed by oxidation treatment rather than the thickness of the SiOxCy(-H) film. The excellent corrosion resistance was demonstrated by coating an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on the silver-coated aluminum PCB for light emitting diode (LED).
