Background: Many hyaluronic acid (HA)-based anti-adhesive agents have been commercialized for clinical use in the pharmaceutical market. But their efficacy in arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs remains elusive. To determine their efficacy, we performed a comparative analysis of the effects of two hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based anti-adhesive agents, Protescal and Guardix. Methods: We recruited a total of 256 patients who had received an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at our hospital between January 2014 and March 2015. Among them, 96 patients fulfilled the study's selection criteria and were enrolled as the final population sample. Thirty patients who had received a postoperative injection of Protescal were allocated into Group A. Another 30 patients who had received a postoperative injection of Guardix were allocated into Group B. As controls, 36 patients who did not receive any injection were allocated into Group C. The patients included in this study were aged between 19 and 75 years. For the clinical assessment, we measured the following clinical parameters-the visual analogue scale for pain (PVAS), the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and the constant score, as well as passive range of motions (ROMs)-at three time-points (preoperatively, 2-month postoperatively, and 6-month postoperatively). Results: We found that Group A compared to Group B tended to show a swifter recovery in passive anterior elevation and in internal rotation by the 2-month postoperative follow-up, but the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: We found that the effects of HA/CMC-based injections were minimal after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs.

This study was performed to compare the effects of carboxymethylcellulose (CMCE), chondroitin sulfate (Chondron), and carboxymethylchitosan (CMCH) on preventing intraperitoneal adhesion. As a result, the tensile strength of adhesions formed between the parietal peritoneum and the ileal serosa was significantly decreased in the groups of three different kinds of anti-adhesive agents. The distance of adhesion site was slightly increased in the treatment groups comparing control group. In the CMCH group, the inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen hyperplasia, and neovascularization were significantly lower than those of control group. It was observed that the damage at intestinal serosa was significantly decreased in the chondron and CMCH groups comparing control group. Therefore CMCH may be useful as a anti-adhesive agent in the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion in rats.

본 연구는 건축용 바닥재로 널리 이용되는 PVC 상재의 표면을 열에 의한 손상으로부터 보호하기 위하여 기존에 사용하는 광경화형 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 내열성(anti-cigar burning)을 향상시킨 광경화형 수성도료 개발에 관한 것이다. PVC 바닥상재용으로 사용되는 내열기능성이 없는 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 인계화합물을 주원료로 합성한 내열재, 구아니딘을 주원료로 합성한 내열재, 일시적 방염제로 사용되는 제 2인산암모늄을 수지의 양 대비 함량(wt%)을 10, 20, 30%로 변화하여 첨가한 후 배합하여 수지의 내열성을 향상시킨 코팅액을 제조하였다. 제조한 코팅액은 코팅층의 두께조절이 가능한 Bar-coating을 사용하여 PVC 바닥상재에 코팅한 후, 내열성, 부착력, 내화학성, 코팅두께 등의 코팅층 표면물성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, 수지에 인계화합물을 주원료로 합성한 내열재 30%를 혼합하여 제조한 코팅액을 Bar-coater No.12로 코팅한 코팅표면이 열에 의한 손상이 가장 적고, 부착력 100%, 내화학성 양호로 가장 좋은 물성을 보였다. 전반적으로 내열재 함량이 높고, 코팅 두께가 두꺼울수록 내열성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 건축자재로 널리 사용되는 PVC 바닥상재 표면을 오염성 및 정전기로부터 보호하기 위하여 기존에 사용하는 광경화형 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 내오염/대전성을 향상시킨 광경화형 내오염 코팅액 개발에 관한 것이다. PVC 바닥상재용으로 사용되는 내오염성이 없는 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 4가 암모늄을 사용한 수용성 대전방지제와 아크릴용 대전방지제, 폴리우리탄용 대전방지제를 수지의 양 대비 함량(wt%) 5~20%로 변화하여 첨가한 후 배합하여 수지의 내오염/대전성을 향상시킨 내오염 코팅액을 제조하였다. 제조한 내오염 코팅액은 코팅 층의 두께조절이 가능한 코팅(Bar-coating)을 사용하여 PVC 바닥상재에 코팅 한 후 내오염성, 대전성, 부착력, 코팅두께 등의 코팅 층 표면물성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, 수지에 수용성대전방지제 15%를 혼합하여 제조한 코팅액을 Bar-coater No.12로 코팅한 코팅표면이 전기저항($3.24{\times}10^9{\Omega}/cm^2$), 내오염도(매직 Test, 먼지부착 Test) 및 부착력(100%) 모두 가장 좋은 물성을 보였다. 전반적으로 함량이 많을수록 전기저항과 오염도에서 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 대전방지제가 과량으로 들어간 경우 migration 현상이 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다.

폐지방산과 ethylenediamine 또는 N,N'-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine으로부터 아스팔트 박리방지제를 합성하였다. FT-IR과 NMR을 이용하여 분석한 결과 아마이드결합의 생성 및 박리방지제의 합성이 성공적으로 수행되었음이 확인하였다. 합성된 여러 종류의 박리방지제의 접착특성은 접촉각과 BBS 시험을 통해 비교하였다. 접촉각 측정으로부터 에틸렌다이아민과 동물유지로부터 제조된 시료가 가장 소수성이 컸으며, BBS 시험으로부터 수분저항성도 94%로 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 에틸렌다이아민과 폐식용유의 반응생성물이 수분처리 전과 후의 절대적인 접착력은 각각 약 3610 및 3227 kPa로 가장 우수하였다. 전반적으로 접착력은 ED의 반응생성물이 HEED의 반응생성물보다 우수하였으며, 폐식용유나 동물유지의 반응생성물들이 순수한 콩기름의 반응생성물들보다 우수하였다.

Rhus verniciflua Stokes (Anacadiaceae) is a plant that is native to East Asian countries, such as Korea, China, and Japan, and it has been found to exert various biological activities including antioxidative, anti-aggregatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and apoptotic effects. Sulfuretin is one of the major flavonoid component isolated from the heartwood of R. verniciflua. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced via dental adhesive bleaching agents and pulpal disease, can cause oxidative stress. In the present study, we isolated sulfuretin from R. verniciflua and demonstrated that sulfuretin possesses cytoprotective effects against hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced dental cell death. $H_2O_2$ is a representative ROS and causes cell death through necrosis in human dental pulp (HDP) cells. $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity and production of ROS were blocked in the presence of sulfuretin, and these effects were dose dependent. Sulfuretin also increased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein expression. In addition, to determine whether sulfuretin-induced HO-1 expression mediated this cytoprotective effect, HDP cells were cotreated with sulfuretin in the absence or presence of SnPP, an inhibitor of HO activity. Sulfuretin-dependent HO-1 expression was required for suppression of $H_2O_2$-induced HDP cell death and ROS generation. These results indicate that sulfuretin-dependent HO-1 expression was required for the inhibition of $H_2O_2$-induced cell death and ROS generation. In addition, sulfuretin may be used to prevent functional dental cell death and thus may be useful as a pulpal disease agent.

Lactobacillus acidophilus BK13과 Lactobacillus paracasei BK57 균주로부터 얻은 세포, 배양상등액 및 박테리오신 용액의 anti-Helicobacter pylori 활성과 위장상피세포에 대한 세포독성을 평가하였다. 실험균주를 MRS 배지 상에서 30시간 배양한 결과, L. acidophilus BK57 ($126.8{\pm}7.9mM$) 보다 L. paracasei BK57 ($155.9{\pm}7.9mM$)가 더 많은 양의 유산을 생산하였다. 또한, BK13 균주의 최대 박테리오신 활성(128 AU/ml)은 $37^{\circ}C$에서 30시간 배양 후 관찰되었으나, 이는 BK57의 활성(256 AU/ml) 보다는 낮았다. BK13 및 BK57 균주의 살아있는 세포를 H. pylori와 혼합 배양한 결과, 유산균의 초기균수에 의존하여 H. pylori의 저해효과가 나타났다. 게다가 BK13과 BK57로부터 얻은 배양상등액과 박테리오신은 H. pylori의 성장을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 위장상피세포에 대한 부착력과 urease 활성도 저해하였다. 한편, 이러한 균주들이 생산한 유산은 위암세포에 대한 세포독성 효과가 대조구보다 유의한 수준으로 높게 나타났다. 따라서 BK13과 BK57 균주의 항균물질은 위장질환의 원인균인 H. pylori를 저해시키는데 효과적이므로 이들 유산균은 H. pylori 감염으로부터 위장을 보호하는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Reducing tenderness or pain on the ankle joint and improving the range of motion are thought to be possible using hyaluronate-based anti-adhesive agents. On the other hand, there are more aspects to be studied regarding the incidence of complications, such as resting pain, tenderness, and stiffness, after surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to prove the effectiveness of the agents after ankle fracture surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients, who underwent open reduction and internal fixation surgery due to ankle joint fractures from June 2015 to May 2016, were studied prospectively. Thirty patients of them received a $Guardix^{(R)}$ injection during their surgeries and were included in the injection group. The other 30 patients were included in the control group. Postoperatively, tenderness on the scar, a delay in wound healing, and the active range of motion were evaluated at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after surgery. Results: A significant difference in tenderness on the scar was observed 2 weeks after surgery. On the other hand, there was no significant difference at 6 and 12 weeks after the surgery. The agent-using group showed a 6.7% delay in wound healing and a 93.3% nondelaying. In the non-using group, the delay was 63.3%, while non-delay was 36.7% (p<0.001). The group that underwent $Guardix^{(R)}$ usage showed an effective result in the visual analogue scale, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). The result at 6 and 12 weeks after surgery showed a significant difference. Conclusion: Improvement was observed in the patients who underwent a $Guardix^{(R)}$ injection, regarding the range of motion, visual analog scale, and healing of the wound postoperatively.
