트리아세틴(TA)을 가소제로 이용하여 용융 가공법으로 가소화된 셀룰로오스 디아세테이트(CDA)를 제조하였다. 또한 2차 가소제로 에폭시화된 콩기름(ESO)을 사용하여 CDA의 가공성을 향상시켰다. DMA분석으로 CDA에 20%의 가소제를 사용한 경우 $T_g$가 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 낮게 나타났고 여기에 ESO를 5% 더 첨가했을 때는 약 $20^{\circ}C\;T_g$가 감소하였다. 또한 TA로 가소화된 CDA필름이 폴리프로필렌(PP) 또는 폴리락트산(PLA)보다 우수한 인장강도 및 탄성률을 나타내었다. 호기성 퇴비화 조건에서 CDA는 60일 동안 셀룰로오스 대비 약 90%의 생분해도를 나타내었다.

This study was designed to characterize glucose-enhancing effects on endotoxin-induced prostaglandin production in primary cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). High glucose treatment significantly augmented prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated VSMC and this effect was maximal at the concentration of 4mg/ml. It has been reported that increases in glucose metabolism through sorbitol pathway could alter the cytosolic $NADH/NAD^+$ ratio and this change favors de novo synthesis of diacylglycerol (DAG) and, in turn. Results in the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) in vascular tissues. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, staurosporin and H7, blocked the glucose enhancing effect, and DAG, a PKC activator, significantly increased the PG production stimuated by LPS. Sodium pyruvate, which can reverse the alteration in cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio, reduced the high glucose effect on PG production. And also, zopolrestat, a strong aldose reductase inhibitor, almost completely blocked the augmentation effect of glucose on PG synthesis. Arachidonic acid release was significantly increased in high glucose treated group, which implied the increase in $PLA_2$ activity was associated with glucose enhancing effect. Metabloic, labeling study clearly showed that de novo synthesis of prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) is greatly increased in high glucose treated group and this was mitigated by the treatment of zopolrestat. Taken together, the activation of PKC through sorbitol pathway increased the activities of $PLA_2$ and PGHS which resulted in the augmentation in LPS-induced PG production in high glucose treated VSMC.

This study was conducted to investigate if the supplement formula may improve alcohol metabolism in healthy adult men. In a double-blinded, randomized, crossover study, subjects were administrated yeast extract mixtures (YEM, n=15), Hovenia dulcis mixtures (HDM, n=15), placebo (PLA, n=15), and control (CON, n=15) in an oral dose followed by one week washout periods. At each visit (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 week), subjects drank 450 mL, 20.1 percent alcohol after administered mixtures. Blood was drawn periodically (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 15 hours). Fifteen subjects completed the protocol and were included in the analysis. Plasma ethanol concentration was lower in YEM (10 percent) and the HDM (5 percent) groups. The area under the curves (AUC) and $C_{max}$ for plasma ethanol were significantly decreased only in the YEM group, when compared with the CON group. The AUC and $C_{max}$ for plasma acetaldehyde concentration were significantly decreased in the YEM (45 and 54 percent) and the HDM (35 and 53 percent) groups respectively, when compared with PLA (p<0.01). Together, these findings validate that YEM or HDM improved alcohol metabolism and hangover syndromes, leading to reduce alcohol concentration and acetaldehyde concentration without adverse effects.

아이코사노이드는 탄소수 20 개의 다가불포화지방산 산화물로 구성된다. 이들 다가불포화지방산의 생합성 전구물질을 탐지하기 위해 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua)의 서로 다른 조직으로부터 지방산을 분리하여 GC/MS로 조성을 분석하였다. 파밤나방 5령 유충에서 소화관, 지방체, 혈구 및 체벽을 분리하고, 각 조직에서 지질을 추출하여 각각 중성지질, 당지질 및 인지질로 분리하였다. 대부분의 조직은 palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2) 그리고 linolenic acid (18:3)를 주요 지방산으로 함유하였다. 그러나 이들 지방산의 조성은 조직과 지질 종류에 따라 상이하였다. 지방체와 혈구세포는 이들 주요 지방산 이외에 myristic acid (14:0)와 3 종류의 미동정 지방산들이 추가로 검출되었다. 서로 다른 지질 종류 가운데 인지질은 중성지질이나 당지질에 비해 상대적으로 높은 linolenic acid를 지닌 반면 포화지방산의 함유량은 낮았다. 전체 불포화지방산의 조성도 조직과 지질 종류에 따라 상이하였다. 인지질은 지방체, 혈구 및 소화관에서 높은 불포화지방산 함유량을 나타냈다. 세포성 인지질분해효소인 calcium-independent phospholipase $A_2$ ($iPLA_2$)는 지방산 조성을 조절하는 데 역할을 담당하였다. 이 유전자의 RNA 간섭은 중성지질과 인지질에서 지방산 조성의 변화를 유발하였다. 본 연구는 아이코사노이드 생합성의 전구물질로 여겨지는 아라키도닉산을 검출하지 못했다. 이는 곤충에 있어서 아이코사노이드는 포유동물과는 다른 새로운 생합성 과정을 통해 형성되는 것으로 추정된다.

Human annexin I is a member of annexin family of calcium dependent phospholipid binding proteins, which have been implicated in various physiological roles including phospholipase A2(PLA2) inhibition, membrane fusion and calcium channel activity. In this work, the structure of N-terminally truncated human annexin I ({{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I) and its interactions with Ca2+, ATP and cAMP were studied at atomic level by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The effect of Ca2+ binding on the structure of {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I was investigated. The addition of Ca2+ to {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I caused some changes in 13C NMR spectra. Carbonyl carbon resonances of some histidines were significantly broadened by Ca2+ binding. However, in the case of methionine, phenylalanine, and tyrosin, small changes could be observed. We found that ATP and cAMP bind {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I, and the binding ratio of ATP to {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I is 1. These results are well consistent with the report that cAMP and ATP interact with annexin I, and affect the calcium channels formed by annexin I. Because {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I is a large protein with 35 kDa molecular weight, site-specific (carbonyl-13C) labeling technique was used to study the interaction sites of {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I with Ca2+. NMR study was focused on the carbonyl carbon resonances of tyrosine, phenylalanine, methionine and histidine residues of {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I because the number of these amino acids is small in the amino acid sequence of {{{{ DELTA }}-annexin I.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) technique using chitosan nanofiber membrane and to compare it to the clinical efficacy following GTR using PLA/PLGA(copolymer of polvlactic acid and polylacticglycolic acid) membrane in mandibular class II furcation defects in human. The chitosan nanofiber membranes were applied to the mandibular class II furcation defects of 13 patients(test group) and PLA/PLGA membranes were applied to those of 11 patients(control group). Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival recession, plaque index and gingival index were measured at baseline and 3 months postoperatively. Vertical and horizontal furcation defect depth were measured at surgery. Both groups were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney Test using SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss and gingival index were significantly reduced at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups(p<0.05). 2. Gingival recession and plaque index were not significantly decreased at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups. 3. No significant difference between two groups could be detected with regard to changes of probing pocket depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, plaque index and gingival index at 3 months postoperatively. In conclusion, chitosan nanofiber membrane is effective in the treatment of human mandibular class II furcation defects and a longer period study is needed to fully evaluate the outcomes.
