The addition reactions of cysteine without blocking amino and carboxyl groups to substituted and unsubstituted ${\beta}$-nitro-styrene derivatives were investigated. ${\beta}$-Nitrostyrene(1a), p-methyl-${\beta}$-nitrostyrene(1b), 3,4,5-trimethoxy-$[\beta}$ -nitrostyrene(1c), $[\varpi}$-3,4-methylenedioxy-${\beta}$ -nitrostyrene(1d), o-, m- and p-chloro-${\beta}$ -nitrostyrene (1e, 1f, 1g) and o-, m- and p-methoxy-${\beta}$-nitrostyrene (1h, 1i, 1j) easily undergo addition reactions with cysteine to form S-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)-L-cysteine(3a), S-[2-nitro-1-(p-methyl)phenyl-ethyl]-L-cysteine(3b), S-[2-nitro-1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxy) phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3c), S-[2-nitro-1-($[\vatpi}$ -3',4'-methylenedioxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3d), S-[2-nitro-1-(o-chloro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3e), S-[2-nitro-1-(m-chloro)-phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3f), S-[2-nitro-1-(p-chloro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3g), S-[2-nitro-1-(o-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3h), S-[2-nitro-1-(m-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3i) and S-[2-nitro-1-(p-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3j), respectively. The structure of adducts were confirmed by means of UV-spectrum, IR-spectrum, molecular weight measurement and elemental analysis. The various factors effecting the yield of cysteine adducts to ${\beta}$-nitrostyrene derivatives were also studied.

Let ${\mathcal{L}}_2=(-{\Delta})^2+V^2$ be the $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ type operator, where nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse $H{\ddot{o}}lder$ class $RH_s$, s > n/2. In this paper, we consider the operator $T_{{\alpha},{\beta}}=V^{2{\alpha}}{\mathcal{L}}^{-{\beta}}_2$ and its conjugate $T^*_{{\alpha},{\beta}}$, where $0<{\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}{\leq}1$. We establish the $(L^p,\;L^q)$-boundedness of operator $T_{{\alpha},{\beta}}$ and $T^*_{{\alpha},{\beta}}$, respectively, we also show that $T_{{\alpha},{\beta}}$ is bounded from Hardy type space $H^1_{L_2}({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ into $L^{p_2}({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ and $T^*_{{\alpha},{\beta}}$ is bounded from $L^{p_1}({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ into BMO type space $BMO_{{\mathcal{L}}1}({\mathbb{R}}^n)$, where $p_1={\frac{n}{4({\beta}-{\alpha})}}$, $p_2={\frac{n}{n-4({\beta}-{\alpha})}}$.

From the roots of Puisatiila koreana, three monodesmosides(pulsatilla saponins A, B and D) and two bisdesmosides(pulsatilla saponins F and H) were isolated. The structure of these saponins have been determined as hederagenin 3-O-${\beta}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\to}2$)- ${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside(A), hederagenin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyrano syl($1{\to}4$) - ${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside(B), hederagenin 3-O- ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl ($1{\to}2$)-[${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl($1{\to}4$]-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside(D), 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\to}2$)-{${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyrano syl($1{\to}4$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyrano syl($1{\to}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyI ester (F) and 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\to}2$)-[${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl($1{\to}4$)]- ${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-${\alpha}$-L-lharnnopyranosyl($1{\to}4$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl($1{\to}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucop yranosyl ester(H) on the basis of chemical and spectral studies. Pulsatilla saponin B is the first report of its presence in plants but saponins A, D, F, and H have recently been isolated from the same genus p. cernua.

In the present study, we investigated the radioprotective effect of cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl) on irradiated rat lungs to determine its potential as a radioprotective agent. We found that early lung damage induced by irradiation was reduced by treatment with 40mg/kg of cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl) in the latent and early pneumonitis phases. Expression of $TNF-{\alpha}\;and\;TGF-{\beta}1$ at 2 and TGF-${\beta}1$ at 8 weeks post-irradiation was decreased in animals that received both radiation and cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl) compared with animals that received radiation alone. Evidence indicated that the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-${\alpha}$ and the fibrogenic cytokine TGF-${\beta}1$ likely play a role in the radioprotective effect of cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl). However, besides TNF-${\alpha}$ and TGF-${\beta}1$ expressions, the precise mechanism by which cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl) ameliorates the induced radiation damage is not clear.

[ ${\beta}-Glucan$ ] is a glucose polymer that has linkage of ${\beta}-(1,3)$, -(1,4) and -(1,6). As exclusively found in fungal and bacterial cell wall, not in animal, ${\beta}-glucans$ are recognized by innate immune system. Dendritic cells (DC) or macrophages possesses pattern recognition molecule (PRM) for binding ${\beta}-glucans$ as pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). Recently ${\beta}-glucans$ receptor was cloned from DC and named as dectin-l which belongs to type II C-type lectin family. Human dectin-l is consisted of 7 exons and 6 introns. The polypeptide of dectin-l has 247 amino acids and has cytoplasmic, transmembrane, stalk and carbohydrate recognition domains. Dectin-l could recognize variety of beta-l,3 and/or beta-l,6 glucan linkages, but not alpha-glucans. In our macrophage cell line culture system, dectin-l mRNA was detected in RA W264.7 cells by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Dectin-l was also detected in the murine organs of spleen, thymus, lung and intestines. Treatment of RA W264.7 cells with ${\beta}-glucans$ of Ganoderma lucidum (GLG) resulted in increased expression of IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the presence of LPS. However, GLG alone did not increase IL-6 nor $TNF-{\alpha}$ These results suggest that receptor dectin-l cooperate with CD14 to activate signal transduction that is very critical in immunoresponse.

Previously, $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride has been found to lower dopamine content in PC12 cells (Kim et al., 20001). In this study, the effects of $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride on L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells were investigated. Treatment with $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride at concentrations higher than $500\;{\mu}M$ caused cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. In addition, $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride at non-cytotoxic or cytotoxic concentrations significantly enhanced L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity (L-DOPA concentration, $50\;{\mu}M$). Treatment of PC12 cells with $750\;{\mu}M$ $-1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride and $50\;{\mu}M$ L-DOPA, alone or in combination, also induced cell death via a mechanism which exhibited morphological and biochemical characteristics of apoptosis, including chromatin condensation and membrane blebbing. Exposure of PC12 cells to $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride, L-DOPA and $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride plus L-DOPA for 48 h resulted in a marked increase in the cell loss and percentage of apoptotic cells compared with exposure for 24 h. These data indicate that $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$hydrochloride at higher concentration ranges aggravates L-DOPA-induced neurotoxicity cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Therefore, it is proposed that the long-term L-DOPA therapeutic patients with $(1R,9S)-{\beta}-Hydrastine$ hydrochloride could be checked for the adverse symptoms.

연구배경: ARDS발생 기전에 있어 TNF-$\alpha$나 IL-$1{\beta}$의 역할은 이들이 폐혈관 내피세포에 작용하여 모세혈관의 투과성을 증가시키는 것으로 추정되나 ARDS환자 발생 예측 지표로서의 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL-$1{\beta}$의 임상적 유용성에 대한 지금까지의 연구결과는 부정적이다. 이는 기존연구들이 다양한 질환들을 대상으로 함으로써 ARDS 발생기전의 다양성이 ARDS환자 발생 예측지표로서의 TNF-$\alpha$의 유용성을 부정적으로 나타나게하였을 가능성을 배제할 수 없다. 이에 저자들은 ARDS 발생이 내독소와 cytokines등에 의한 작용인 것으로 알려지고 있는 패혈증 증후군 환자들을 대상으로 TNF-$\alpha$와 IL-$1{\beta}$의 ARDS 발생의 예측 표지자로서 임상적 효용성을 검토하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 패혈증 증후군환자들을 대상으로 ARDS발생군(이하 ARDS군, 16명)과 호흡부전 상태에서 ARDS로는 진행하지않은 급성호흡 부전군(Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure group, 이하 AHRF군, 20명)으로 분류하여 등록시, 24시간 및 72시간후에 채혈하여 ARDS군은 ARDS 발생시에, AHRF군은 동맥혈 산소분압에 대한 폐포 산소분압의 비가 가장 낮은 시점의 TNF-$\alpha$와 IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도를 비교하였다. 또한 ARDS 및 AHRF군에서 쇽 발생군과 비발생군으로 분류하고 쇽 발생시에 측정된 TNF-$\alpha$와 IL-$1{\beta}$를 비발생군의 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL-$1{\beta}$의 값과 비교하였다. 대조군은 건강 대조군으로서 1회만 채혈하였다. 결과: 1) 혈중 TNF-$\alpha$의 농도: 본 연구에 사용한 Predicta kit의 TNF-$\alpha$ 농도 측정의 민감도는 평균${\pm}2$표준편차의 하한값이 10pg/mL이며, 특이도는 100%로, ARDS군 16명중 8명이, AHRF군 20명중 12명이 10pg/mL 이상으로 측정되어 두 군사이에서 혈중 TNF-$\alpha$가 10pg/mL 이상 발현된 비율의 차이는 없었다. ARDS 및 AHRF군의 혈중 TNF-$\alpha$의 중앙값 농도는 각각 10.26pg/mL(<10-16.99pg/mL, 사분위수범위, interquartile range), 10.82pg/mL(<10-20.38pg/mL)로서 두 군 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 (Fig. 1), ARDS 발생 전후의 혈중 TNF-$\alpha$의 농도도 중앙값이 10pg/mL미만(<10-15.32)pg/mL 및 10pg/mL미만(<10-10.22)pg/mL로서 유의한 차이가 없었고 6명중 2명만이 ARDS 발생 전에 비하여 TNF-$\alpha$의 값이 증가되었다. ARDS 및 AHRF군에서 패혈성 쇽이 발생한 환자들(26명)의 TNF-$\alpha$의 농도는 12.53(<10-20.82)pg/mL로서 비발생군(10명) <10pg/mL에 비해 유의하게 높았으나(p<0.01)(Fig. 2), 전체 생존군(<10, <10-12.92pg/mL)과 사망군(11.80, <10-20.8pg/mL)사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다(P=0.28). 2) 혈중 IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도: 본 연구에 사용한 Quantikine kit의 최저 측정치는 0.3ng/mL로서 건강 대조군 10명중 1명을 제외한 모두에서 IL-$1{\beta}$측정치가 0.3pg/mL이하였다. ARDS 및 AHRF군의 검체 중 0.3ng/mL 이하로 측정된 경우는 ARDS, AHRF군에서 각각 1예가 있었다 ARDS 및 AHRF군의 혈중 IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도는 각각 2.22(1.37-8.01)ng/mL, 2.13(0.83-5.29)ng/mL으로서 두 군사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며(Fig. 3), ARDS 발생전(2.53, 0.3-8.38ng/mL)과 발생후(5.35, 0.66-11.51ng/mL)에서도 차이가 없었다. 패혈성 쇽 발생군(2.51, 1.28-8.34ng/mL)과 비발생군(1.46, 0.15-2.13ng/mL)사이에서는 통계적인 유의한 차이는 없었으나 비발생군에서 낮은 경향을 보였다(각각 P=0.44, P=0.054)(Fig. 4). 생존군과 사망군의 비교에 있어서는 각각 1.37(0.4-2.36), 2.84(1.46-8.34)ng/mL로서 생존군에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론: 혈중내 TNF-$\alpha$의 농도는 패혈증증후군 환자들에서 패혈성 쇽의 발생과는 연관성이 있으나 혈중내 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도 측정이 ARDS 발생의 예측 지표로서는 임상적 효용성이 적은 것으로 사료 되었다.
