Currently, various studies using chemotherapy, such as surgical treatment, radiation or optical therapy, and chemotherapy, are underway. In addition, expensive chemotherapeutic drugs and large-scale equipment have been developed to improve the accuracy and therapeutic effect. However many side effects caused by misuse of the kind of light source, radiation, and cancer treatment have been observed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel chemotherapeutic method by developing a customized cancer cell proliferation inhibition module based on a microcontroller that is relatively inexpensive, easy to operate, and able to operate in various wavelength light sources.

필수 미량원소인 셀레늄은 인간의 건강에 기본적으로 중요한 역할을 하는 물질이다. 항산화 관여 효소의 작용과 구조역할을 담당하는 셀레늄이 함유된 단백질(selenoproteins)은 항산화 기능이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 갑상선호르몬의 활성화에 관여하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 셀레늄은 정상적인 면역체계의 유지에 필요하며, HIV(human immunodeficiency virus)가 진행되어 AIDS로 발전되는 것을 억제하는 작용이 있다는 사실도 밝혀지고 있으며, 정자의 생성과 운동성에 관계하기도 한다. 우울증 환자가 셀레늄을 섭취하게 되면 효과가 있으며, 셀레늄이 순환계질환의 발생을 억제하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 특히 최근에는 셀레늄의 섭취가 암발생을 예방할 수 있다는 역학조사결과를 토대로, 대규모 셀레늄 임상실험이 다국적 연구의 형태로 2개의 프로젝트(PRECISE, SELECT)가 수행 중이다. 한편, 셀레늄의 항암효과에 대한 세포수준에서의 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 어느 정도 가시적인 결과를 보이고 있다. 따라서, 셀레늄에 대한 재평가가 우리 나라에서도 이루어져야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 지역별로 셀레늄의 정확한 섭취량조차도 파악되어 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라 일일권장량 값조차 정확하지 않은 현실을 볼 때, 셀레늄의 기본적 연구에 대한 관심을 가져야 할 때라고 판단된다.

Despite that moderate hyperthermia can exert various antitumor activities such as direct cytotoxic effects on tumor cells, effects on tumor vasculatures and immunological effects, hyperthermia has been usually combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy due to its limited efficacy in cancer treatment, showing some positive clinical benefits with generally well-tolerated side effects. Since heat shock responses itself can interfere with the anti-tumor effects of hyperthermia, not all of these studies might have demonstrated positive clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Therefore, the negative anti-tumor effect of hyperthermia should be reduced to enhance the effectiveness of hyperthermia. Although the responses to heat stress of tumor tissues containing vessels, immune cells, connective tissues as well as cancer cells, are very complicated, it is needed to study in the near future if some clinically available drugs, which can modulate heat stress responses, can improve the efficacy of hyperthermia in patients with cancer. In this review, the effect of clinical hyperthermia centered on non-invasive external hyperthermia using radiofrequency at moderate temperature will be discussed, since it is the state-of-the-art technology in the current clinical practice of hyperthermia, and a moderate operational temperature is used to increase the therapeutic effectiveness of conventional therapy without additional toxicity to normal tissues.

Pt-complexes is currently one of the most compounds used in the treatment of solid tumors. However, its used is limited by severe side effects such as renal toxicity. Our platinum-based drug discovery program is aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and improving antitumor activity. We synthesized new Pt (II) complex analogues containing 1, 2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) as carrier ligand and 1, 3-bis (diphenylphosphino) propane (DPPP)/1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (DPPE) as a leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improve the solubility. A new series of (KHPC-001) [Pt (trans-1-dach)(DPPP)] $2NO_3$ and (KHPC-002) [Pt (trans-1-dach)(DPPE)] $2NO_3$ were synthesized and characterized by their elemental analysis and by various spectroscopic techniques [infrared (IR), $^{13}carbon$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]. KHPC-001 and KHPC-002 demonstrated acceptable antitumor activity aganist P-388, L-1210 lymphocytic leukemia cells and significant activity as compared with that of cisplatin. The toxicity of KHPC-001 and KHPC-002 was found quite less than that of cisplatin using MTT, $[^3H]$ thymidine uptake and glucose consumption tests in rabbit proximal tubule cells and human kidney cortical cells.

Platinum coordination complexes are currently one of the most compounds used in the treatment of solid tumors. However, its use is limited by severe side effects such as nephrotoxicity. Our platinum-based drug discovery program is aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and broadening the clinical spectrum of activity of cisplatin. We synthesized new Pt(II) complex analogue containing 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) as carrier ligand and 1,3-bis(diphenyl phosphino)propane (DPPP) as a leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improve the solubility. A new series of PC-1 [Pt(cis-dach) (DPPP)]. $2NO_3_2$ was synthesized and characterized by their elemental analysis and by various spectroscopic techniques [infrared (IR), $^{13}carbon$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]. PC-1 was demonstrated acceptable antitumor activity aganist SKOV -3, OVCAR-3 human ovarian adenocarcinomacells and significant activity as compared with that of cisplatin. The toxicity of PC-1 was found quite less than that of cisplatin using MTT, $[^3H]thymidine$ uptake and glucose consumption tests in rabbit proximal tubule cells, human kidney cortical cells and human renal cortical tissues. Based on these results, this novel platinum compound represent a valuable lead in the development of a new anticancer chemotherapeutic agent capable of improving antitumor activity and low toxicity.

The sprig of Jinryungtang Gagambang has been used for curing as a traditional medicine without any experimental evidence to support the rational basis for their clinical use. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the possible therapeutic or antitumoral effects of Jinryungtang Gagambang extract against cancer, and to study some mechanisms responsible for its effect. The cytotoxic and antitumor effects were evaluated on human cell liens (A549, hep3B, Caki-1, Sarcoma 180) after exposure to Jinryungtang Gagambang extract using in ILS, colony forming efficency and SRB assay which were regarded as a valuable method for cytotoxic and antitumor effects of unknown compound on tumor cell lines. The results obtained in this studies were as follows. 1. As a result of exposure to Jinryungtang Gagambang extract, the proliferation of A549, hep3B, Caki-1, good correlations were shown from the results of SRB assay and those of clogenetic assay. 2. The oral administration of Jinryungtang Gagambang extract showed significant effects of increase of MST(mean survival time) and ILS(increased life span) depending on the increasing concentration. 3. Against squamous cell carcinoma induced by MCA, Jinryungtang Gagambang decreased not only the frequency of tumor production but also the number and weight of tumors per tumor bearing mice(TBM). Jinryungtang Gagambang also significantly suppressed the development of 3LL cell-implanted tumors by frequency and their size, and some developed tumors were regressed by the continuous treatment of Jinryungtang Gagambang extract into TBM. 4. Jinryungtang Gagambang extract also increased NK cell activities. According to the above results, it could be suggested that Jinryungtang Gagambang extract has prominent antiutmor effect.
