The objective of this study was to understand the physiological response and cadmium accumulation of MuS1 transgenic tobacco exposed to high concentration of Cd in soil. For this, a pot experiment was carried out in a greenhouse for a month, with two lines of MuS1 transgenic tobaccos (S4 and S6) and non-transgenic tobacco cultivated in the soils spiked at three different Cd concentrations (0, 60 and 180 mg $kg^{-1}$). Both transgenic and non-transgenic tobacco showed visible toxic symptoms such as chlorosis and leaf roll as treated concentration increased. The net photosynthetic rates of MuS1 plants (S4 and S6) exposed at 180 mg $kg^{-1}$ Cd were 6.3 and $7.7{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, being higher than those of the non-transgenic plant ($4.8{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$). Values of stomatal conductance of MuS1 transgenic plants (0.05 and 0.008 mmol $H_2O\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) were also higher than those of non-transgenic plant (0.03 mmol $H_2O\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$). In addition, fresh and dry weights of MuS1 transgenic plants were heavier than those of non-transgenic plant. Likewise, MuS1 transgenic plants appeared to be better physiological performance than non-transgenic tobacco when exposed at high concentration of Cd in soil. With regard to metal accumulation, MuS1 transgenic tobaccos accumulated more Cd in their roots than non-transgenic tobacco implying that MuS1 transgenic tobacco is suggested to be used for phytostabilization of heavy metals.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronical exposure to high-level dusts on cellular immune function. Methods: The subjects were 110 male workers, among whom 60 were chronically exposed to high-level dusts in mica, limestone and iron mines. The remaining 50 were office workers. Ambient total, respirable dust and crystalline silica in the workplace were sampled using personal air samplers and analyzed according to NIOSH method 0500. Serum levels of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxide and superoxide misutase activity were measured using absorption chromatography. The subpopulations of CD4+, CD8+, natural killer cells (CD16+) and CD3+ T-lymphocytes were examined by two-color staining using monoclonal antibodies. Results: The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was significantly higher in exposed workers and superoxide dismutase activity was significantly higher in control workers. No significant difference in numbers of T-lymphocyte subpopulations were observed between exposed and control workers. A significant correlation in exposed workers was observed among total dusts, respirable dusts and crystalline silica. Hydrogen peroxide was significantly correlated with total dust (r=0.720, p<0.01), respirable dust (r=0.770, p<0.01) and crystalline silica (r=0.678, p<0.01). Concentration of hydrogen peroxide showed a significantly negative correlation with numbers of CD8+ cells (r=-0.274, p<0.01), CD3+ cells (r=-0.222, p<0.01) and natural killer cells (r=-0.556, p<0.01). Conclusions: These results suggest that chronical exposure to high-level dust affects cellular immune function and effects might mediate through reactive oxygen species and inflammatory response.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Baekhasuoyijung-Tang(BHSYJT)on mouse T cell cytokines. The proliferation of mouse CD4 T cells under the influence of BHSYJT extract was measured. When mouse CD4 T cell were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 in various concentrations of BHSYJT extract, it increased proliferation of CD4 cells by 28% in $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration and by 32% in $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration. Treatment of CD4+ T cells stimulated by anti-CD3e and anti-CD28 with BHSYJT resulted in reduction of $IFN-{\gamma}$,but IL-4 levels is not changed. Oral administration of BHSYJT resulted in increase of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell population in Balb/c mice by 11%. Oral administration of BHSYJT resulted in reduction of serum $IFN-{\gamma}$ level by 27% but, IL-4 level is not changed. CD4+ T cells under Th1/Th2 polarizing conditions for 3 days with BHSYJT resulted in decrease of $IFN-{\gamma}$ level in TH1 cells. Experimental results of this study show that BHSYJT helps to reduce secretion of $IFN-{\gamma}$ by mouse T helper cell in vitro and it had the same effect in vivo. Thus, it can be concluded that use of BHSYJT is an effective treatment for correcting immune imbalance in immune disorders and autoimmune diseases by reducing secretion of cytokine by Th1 cells.

Objectives: This study was carried out to know the effects of Gwan-Jul-Bang-7 (hereafter referred to GJB-7) on the inhibition of arthritis induced by collagen on the mouse. Methods: To assess the effects of GJB-7 on mouse with arthritis induced by collagen II, we conducted several experiments such as analysis of cytotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, arthritis index, total cell number of draining lymph nodes and paw joints, value of immunocyte in PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cell), DLN (draining lymph node) and paw joint, measurement of cytokine and anti-collagen II, observation of the histological changes of joint. Results: 1. Cytotoxicity against HFC (human fibroblast cells) was not observed in any concentration and hepatotoxicity was not observed in the GJB-7 treated group. 2. The incidence of arthritis significantly decreased. 3. Total cell number of draining lymph nodes significantly increased and total cell number of paw joints significantly decreased. 4. The percentage of $CD8^+$ cells in PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cell) significantly increased. The percentage of $CD3^+/CD69^+$, and $CD3^+/CD49b^+$ cells in PBMC significantly decreased. 5. The percentage of $CD19^+,\;CD3^+$, and $CD4^+/CD25^+$ cells in DLN (draining lymph nodes) significantly increased. The percentage of $B220^+/CD23^+$ cells in DLN significantly decreased. 6. The percentage of $CD3^+,\;CD4^+$, and $CD11b^+/Gr-1^+$ cells in paw joints significantly decreased. 7. The production of TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6, and MCP-1 significantly decreased. 8. Anti-collagen II in serum significantly decreased. 9. With the hematoxylin and eosin stain, inflammation of joint decreased. Under Masson's trichrome stain, the cartilage destruction and synovial cell proliferation and the expression of collagen fibers decreased. Conclusions: Comparison of the results for this study showed that GJB-7 had immunomodulatory effects. So we expect that GJB-7 could be used as an effective drug for not only rheumatoid arthritis but also another auto-immune diseases.

초임계 이산화탄소를 역용매로 이용하는 aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) 방법을 사용하여 HP-${\beta}$-CD 미립자를 제조하였으며, 공정변수가 입자의 크기와 형태에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한, 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 이부프로펜과 HP-${\beta}$-CD의 포접복합체를 제조하였으며, ASES 공정에 의해 변형된 HP-${\beta}$-CD의 입자 형상이 포접효율에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. ASES 공정으로 제조된 HP-${\beta}$-CD 미립자는 50~200 nm 크기의 나노 입자들이 응집된 입자 형상을 나타내었다. 에탄올 수용액을 HP-${\beta}$-CD의 용매로 사용한 경우 구형의 입자가 제조되었으며, 물의 양이 증가함에 따라 입자의 크기가 증가하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용해 고체상태에서 이부프로펜/HP-${\beta}$-CD 포접복합체를 제조하는 경우 초임계 ASES 방법에 의한 미세입자화 공정을 통해 포접효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.
