We investigated the effect of Sarcodon aspratus extract on expression of cell cycle regulators. Methanol extract of Sarcodon aspratus showed a growth suppression on HepG2. As shown by western blot analysis, the expressions of cyclin A and Dl known as cell cycle regulators were decreased after treatment of Sarcodon aspratus extract. On the other hand, the expression of cyclin Bl was increased in the presence of Sarcodon aspratus extract. Furthermore, the expression of p53, a tumor supressor gene, and p27, a cell cycle dependent protein kinase inhibitor, were increased, whereas the expression of PCNA was decreased. In conclusion, our study suggests that growth inhibitory effect of Sardodon aspratus methanol extract on HepG2 is induced by cell cycle arrest in the Gl phase caused by decrease in cyclin A, Dl expressions and increases in p53, p27 expression.

The present study assessed the cytotoxic effects on cell growth and senescence in human cancer (A-549, AGS, HCT-116, MDA-MB-231, and U 87-MG) and normal (MRC-5 and mesenchymal stem cells) cell lines treated with efavirenz (EFA), an inhibitor of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RTase). Following EFA treatment, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values were approximately 15 µM, and the IC₅₀ value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in the cancer cell lines, compared to normal cell lines. After determining the IC₅₀ values against EFA, each cell line was treated with 15 µM EFA for up to one week. Significant (p<0.05) decreases in endogenous RTase and telomerase activity were observed in the cancer cell lines. RTase and telomerase activity were absent or detected at very low levels in both EFA-untreated and treated MRC-5 and MSC normal cells. The cell doubling time (CDT) was also significantly (p<0.05) prolonged by the decreased cell growth rate in the EFA-treated cancer cell lines compared to the untreated cell lines. Furthermore, EFA-treated cancer cells displayed a high number of cells with a high intensity of senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity (SA-ß-gal activity), compared to the untreated cells. The present study showed that inhibition of RTase activity induces cellular senescence and arrests cell growth in human cancer cell lines; however, normal cell lines showed greater tolerance against EFA. RTase treatment could offer optional chemotherapy for cancer treatment in human cancer cell lines with high RTase activity.

This study was earned out to investigate the antimutagenic and cytotoxic effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus Maxim fruits ethanol extract on Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and cancer cell lines using Ames test and SRB assay, respectively. They were extracted with ethanol and then fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water to get active fractions. In the Ames test, most of the extracts had strong antimutagenic effects against the mutagenesis induced by MNNG, 4NQO, B(${\alpha}$)P and Trp-P-l. The ethanol extract (200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/plate) of Eleutherococcus senticosus fruits showed 87.2％ inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by MNNG against TA100. And also, The suppression ratio against B(${\alpha}$)P and Trp-P-l in the TA100 showed 96.1％ and 95.5％, respectively. In the cytotoxic effects against human cancer cell lines (A549, AGS, MCF-7, Hep3B), the value of inhibition were mostly above 60％ for each fraction (1 mg/mL). Hexane fraction (1 mg/mL) against showed the strongest cytotoxic effects of 92.7％ compared to those of other fraction and butano fraetion against Hep3B was relatively high growth inhibitory effect of 82％.

Various methods have been used on patients with skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusion. The activator, Frankel appliance, headgear, Herbst appliance, and Twin-block appliance are some examples. The ideal treatment effect using these appliances would be to inhibit horizontal and vertical growth of the maxilla while promoting mandibular growth and obtaining optimum dentition. The Teuscher appliance has a simultaneous combined headgear effect with maxillary growth inhibition and an activator effect with mandibular growth promotion. The purpose of this study was to examine how well these effects were clinically obtained and the results are as follows. 1. The forward growth of the maxilla was effectively inhibited. 2. The downward-forward growth of the maxillary dentoalveolar complex was inhibited. 3. Growth promotion of the mandible was not observed. 4. The overjet, overbite, molar key were effectively improved. 5. The protruded upper lip and facial profile were unproved.

The present study investigated the anti-proliferate and anti-invasive of Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) and MMP-9 activities of combined treatment with cisplatin and ethyl acetate fractions of Paeonia japonica. Cell Proliferation was detected by the MTS assay and the activity and mRNA expression of MMP-2/-9 were examined by zymography and RT-PCR. As results, cisplatin or p. japonica treatment of YD-10B cells resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth. Also, the viability of YD-10B cells treated with combination of 200 μM cisplatin and 50 ㎍/ml p. japonica was inhibited to 50% in compared with the cisplatin alone. In PMA-treated YD-10B cells, co-treatment of 200 μM cisplatin with 50 ㎍/ml p. japonica significantly inhibited mRNA expression and protein activation of MMP-2/-9. Therefore, This study suggest that the combination treatment of cisplatin and p. japonica potentiates a promising anti-invasive agent and has more potential anti-cancer drug for oral cancer therapy than cisplatin alone.

Phytoextraction is a technique which uses plants to clean up metal-contaminated soils. Recently, various chelating agents were introduced into this technique to increase the bioavailability of metals in soils. Even though the technique is an economic and environment-friendly method, this cannot be applied in highly metal-contaminated areas because plants will not normally grow in such conditions. Therefore, this research focuses on identifying chelating agents which are biodegradable and applicable to highly metal-contaminated areas. Alunimum (Al) as a target metal and cysteine (Cys), histidine (His), citrate, malate, oxalate, succinate, and ethylenediamine (EDA) as biodegradable chelating agents were selected. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as a comparative standard. Plants were grown on agar media containing various chelating agents with Al to analyze the effect on plant growth. His slightly diminished the inhibitory effect of Al on root growth of plants, whereas, Cys, citrate, malate, oxalate, and succinate did not show significant effects. Both EDTA and EDA strongly diminished the inhibitory effect of Al on root growth. The effect of EDA is correlated with decreased Al uptake into the plants. In conclusion, as a biodegradable chelating agent, EDA is a good candidate for highly Al-contaminated areas.

Effects of 7.5% potassium sorbate and/or 1% ascorbic acid dip on she]f-life of chicken parts stored at $4^{\circ}C$ was investigated. There was no remarkable difference in the microbial growth between 1% ascorbic acid dipped chicken parts and untreated chicken parts. Off-odor developed after 8 days storage and bacterial spoilage was occurred after 12 days storage. 7.5% potassium sorbate dip significantly retarded mesophilic and psychrotrophic counts compared with untreated, markedly reduced growth rate of Enterobacteriaceae. Fecal coliforms were not detected and bacterial spoilage was not occurred until 21 days storage. off-odor developed after 19 days storage and color was not significantly deteriorated until 21 days storage. Additional effect of 7.5% potassium sorbate and 1% ascorbic acid dip was found on retarded mesophilic, psychrotrophic and Enterobacteriaceae counts compared with 7.5% potassium sorbate dip alone. Bacterial spoilage was not occurred until 21 days storage. off-odor developed after 21 days storage and color was not significantly deteriorated until 21 dayss storage.
