특정 외부항원에 노출됨으로써 생기는 피부에서의 지연형 면역과민반응을 형태학적으로 조사하기위해서 시행된 본 실험은 DNCB에 의해 인위적인 알러지성 접촉피부염을 유발시킨 후 시간의 경과에 따른 피부의 일반적인 형태, 비만세포의 변화, IL-2 receptor의 변화를 관찰하였다. DNCB 2차감작 후 실시된 contact hypersensitivity assay 결과 대조군에 비해 DNCB 처리군에서는 ear swelling이 점점 증가하여 48시간에 가장 높게 측정 되었다. 피부 조직의 일반적인 형태변화도 DNCB접종 후 48시간에서 가장 심한 피부손상의 양상을 보였는데, 진피에서 림프구 aggregation의 증가, 혈관직경의 증가, 표피로의 림프구 infiltration 증가가 일어났다. Semithin section을 통해 관찰된 DNCB처리군의 미세구조의 변화는 표피세포질내 액포화의 증가와 세포사이공간의 확장이었다. 진피에서 비만세포 수가 증가되었으며, 그 형태는 분비과립을 함유하고 있는 degranulated type으로 나타났다. 피부 진피에서 IL-2 receptor 양성반응세포수가 증가되었으며, 표피로 infltration된 IL-2 receptor 양성반응세포가 48시간에서 가장 많이 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 DNCB 감작에 의해 세포성면역과민반응이 일어나며, 이후 면역관여세포들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 급격한 염증반응이 일어나게 된다.

Statement of problem. Hydroxyapatite(HA) coated titanium surfaces have not yet showed the reliable osseointegration in various conditions. Purpose. This study was aimed to investigate microstructures, chemical composition, and surface roughness of the surface coated by the hydrothermal method and to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal coating on the cell attachment, as well as cell proliferation. Material and Methods. Commercially pure(c.p.) titanium discs were used as substrates. The HA coating on c.p. titanium discs by hydrothermal method was performed in 0.12M HCl solution mixed with HA(group I) and 0.1M NaOH solution mixed with HA(group II). GroupⅠ was heated at 180 $^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48, and 72 hours. GroupⅡ was heated at 180 $^{\circ}C$ for 12, 24, and 36 hours. And the treated surfaces were evaluated by Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), X-ray diffraction method(XRD), Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM). And SEM of fibroblast and 3-(4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay were used for cellular responses of the treated surfaces. Results. The color of surface changed in both groups after the hydrothermal process. SEM images showed that coating pattern was homogeneous in group II, while inhomogeneous in group I. H72 had rosette-like precipitates. The crystalline structure grew gradually in group II, according to extending treatment period. The long needle-like crystals were prominent in N36. Calcium(Ca) and phosphorus(P) were not detected in H24 and H48 in EDS. In all specimens of group II and H72, Ca was found. Ca and P were identified in all treated groups through the analysis of XPS, but they were amorphous. Surface roughness did not increase in both groups after hydrothermal treatment. The values of surface roughness were not significantly different between groups I and II. According to the SEM images of fibroblasts, cell attachments were oriented and spread well in both treated groups, while they were not in the control group. However, no substantial amount of difference was found between groups I and II. Conclusions. In this study during the hydrothermal process procedure, coating characteristics, including the HA precipitates, crystal growth, and crystalline phases, were more satisfactory in NaOH treated group than in HCl treated group. Still, the biological responses of the modified surface by this method were not fully understood for the two tested groups did not differ significantly. Therefore, more continuous research on the relationship between the surface features and cellular responses seems to be in need.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a specific type of unsaturated fat that the body cannot manufacture on its own, so they must be obtained from food which is essential fatty acids (EFAs). Omega-3 fatty acids consist of three types which are a-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic (ELA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Especially, EFAs help to prevent skin and hair drying, acne, eczema, prevention from allergies, brittle nails, rashes, and tiny lumps. The aim of this study is to investigate improvement and protection for hair damaged by chemical treatment with omega-3 formulated shampoo. We selected virgin hair sample and divided into two groups for bleaching once and three times and then damaged hair by changing the number of hair bleaching (twice with interval of 15 minutes). Each bleached hair was treated by five different kinds of shampoo (Control, Horse shampoo, DHA shampoo, EPA shampoo, Omega-3 shampoo mixture). Apart from this, EPA/DHA 2, 5, 8, 10 and 12% shampoo were prepared and treated to hair for comparing rate of progress in damaged hair. To quantify improved condition of damaged hair, we performed Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for ultrastructure of damaged hair fraction, measurement of thickness change and BCA Protein Assay for recovery rate of damaged hair. The moisture in hair was measured by Thermal analysis machine. In results, we observed the particle of hair surface damaged by bleaching treatment were well improved with treatment with EPA and DHA shampoo. Also, quantity of protein was lowered with higher concentration of EPA & DHA i.e., 8 and 12 % then compared with horse oil shampoo in three times treatment group. It shows that bleached hair have been recovered by treating rapidly and get protective coat. In conclusion, EPA and DHA shampoo improved damaged hair, especially with EPA / DHA 12% shampoo. Also, EPA shampoo could protect the damaged hair depending on increasing concentration of EPA. Therefore, we conclude omega-3 shampoo could make damaged hair protect and get healthy hair environment.

Various biometerials have been researched and have been developed for treatment of some disease through transplantation to body. They have been evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity test using some skin-derived cell lines for prediction of their biocompatibility in vivo. However, the results of experiments using mesenchymal or epithelial cells could not be considered in vivo immune reaction. In this study, we evaluated the biomaterial-elution (elute from high density polyethylene film) using some cell lines (L929, Jurkat, U937) in vitro, and then that results were compared with in vivo results from guinea pig sensitization test. In sensitization test, saline and elution of syringe could not induce erythema, but only DNCB (hypersensitive chemical) induce erythema at guinea pig sensitization test. In cell experiment, the cytotoxicity results of inflammatory cells (Jurkat; T lymphocyte, U937; monocyte) was no difference with L929 (fibroblast) in the overall trend. However, inflammatory cell lines were only secreted inflammatory cytokine (TNF-${\alpha}$, INF-${\gamma}$) in some materials (biomateriallution, FAC, DNCB). And the biomaterial-elution did not have toxicity to the cells, but it induced the inflammatory cytokines in inflammatory cell lines only. So, we were predicted inflammatory reaction through the cytokine resultes of inflammatory cell lines, and it was more correlated with in vivo results than cytotoxicity test. Therefore, we suggested that the inflammatory cytokine assay using inflammatory cell lines are more effective method in vitro for evaluation of biocompatibility of biomaterials or chemicals.

생체 내에 있어서 AsA 대사와 철 대사는 상호 밀접하게 연결되어 있다고 생각하여, 본 연구에서는 철단백질의 하나인 ferritin을 이용해서 AsA와의 상호작용의 유무를 조사하였다. Ferritin으로부터 철의 유리를 측정하기 위하여 ferrozine을 사용하여 AsA에 의한 ferritin으로부터 철의 유리를 흡광도 562 nm에서 Fe(ferrozine)$_3$$^{2+}$의 형태로 측정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 호기적 및 혐기적 조건 하에서 AsA에 의한 영향을 살펴 본 결과, ferritin으로부터 철의 유리에 대해서 AsA의 농도 및 시간의 증가에 의존하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한ferritin으로부터 철의 유리에 있어서 산소의 영향을 살펴본 결과, 가시부영역의 흡수 스펙트럼변화의 측정 결과에 의해 호기적 및 혐기적 조건 하 모두에서 ferritin으로부터 철의 유리를 확인하여 산소의 영향이 나타났고, 혐기적 조건하에서 보다 호기적 조건 하에서의 ferritin으로부터 철의 유리가 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 즉, ferritin으로부터 철을 유리하는데 $O_2$$^{-}$ 가 관여할 가능성이 나타났다. 그러나, 본 연구 결과에서 반응시간 1시간 후의 호기적 및 혐기적 조건 하에서 562 nm에서의 흡광도를 살펴 본 결과 호기적 조건 하에서 유리된 철의 50% 이상이 AsA 자신에 의해, 나머지는 AsA와 산소분자와의 반응에 의해 생긴 $O_2$$^{-}$에 의한다고 생각되어졌다. 지금까지 ferritin으로부터 철의 유리는O$_2$$^{-}$에 의한 것이라는 보고가 많았지만, 이 결과에 의해 ferritin으로부터 철의 유리에 $O_2$$^{-}$가 관여하지만, 그것과 같은 정도 혹은 그 이상 AsA가 중요하다는 것이 밝혀졌다.

본 연구는 토양의 화학적 특성과 탈질소, 황 환원에 관여하는 세균류 및 탈수소효소 활성의 관계를 살펴보고, 궁극적으로는 산림 토양생태계의 동태를 평가하는 도구로 탈수소효소를 활용할 수 있는지에 대하여 고찰한 것이다. 오염지역으로 여겨지는 온산공단 주변과 해안의 청정지역인 강화도 마니산에서 각각 침엽수림과 활엽수림을 산정, 총 4개 임분을 대상으로 본 연구를 수행하였는데, 마니산 토양은 온산공단 주변에 비하여 상대적으로 유기물, 질소, 유효인산 등의 함량이 높아 미생물의 활동에 유리한 것으로 여겨졌다. 한편, 탈질균이나 황산환원균은 지역간 차이가 없었던 반면, 탈수소효소의 활성은 지역이나 시기에 따른 변화를 뚜렷이 나타내어 두 종류의 미생물 정량기법에 비하여 훨씬 민감하게 나타났다. 또한, 탈수소효소는 미생물의 활성과 깊은 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨지는 유기물함량(r=0.53. p=0.004), 전질소(r=0.41. p=0.008)나 C/Ava. P 비율(r=-0.52. p=0.001) 등과 비교적 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 따라서, 비슷한 토성을 지녀야 비교가 가능하다는 다른 연구자들의 지적을 감안하여 수행한다면, 토양생태계의 동태를 파악하는 지표로서 탈수소효소를 활용할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

알팔파의 식물체로부터 자감작용에 관여한 물질은 알팔파 재배 후에 연작되는 알팔파의 발아와 유묘생장 및 입모를 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 그러한 물질은 아직 확실하게 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 알팔파·잎추출물의 자감작용 특성을 평가하기 위한 유묘생물검정의 감수성을 개선코자 몇 가지 생장배지 및 추출액의 멸균방법을 비교하여 발아와 초기 유묘 생장을 억제하는데 한계 적정농도를 결정하였다. 여과지를 이용한 종이배지보다는 한천과의 혼합배지에서 추출액에 대한 발아 및 유묘신장 반응이 더 민감하였으며, 한천배지에서 뿌리신장, 발아 및 배축 신장을 50% 억제하는 추출액 농도는 각각 2.7, 3.8 및 9.9g $kg^{-1}$으로 나타나, 뿌리신장이 발아나 배축의 신장보다 추출액의 autotoxic 물질에 대해 더 민감하였다. 100ppm의 streptomycin은 유의적으로 발아율을 촉진시켰으나, 추출액이 없는 대조처리의 뿌리 신장을 43%억제시켰다. $125^{\circ}C$ 고열 증압 멸균은 추출물의 활성을 변화시키지 않고 멸균 가능한 방법이었다. 본 연구결과는 고열증압멸균에 의한 추출액을 한천과 혼합한 배지에서 생물검정이 이루어짐으로써 더 높은 일관성과 정확성을 기대할 수 있으며, 뿌리신장은 알팔파 잎 추출물의 자가작용 효과를 검정하는데 최선의 판단기준이 될 수 있음을 결론지을 수 있다.

It is known that bones get damaged by accidents and aging. Since the discovery of Bioglass, various kinds of ceramics have been also found to bond to living bone; some of these ceramics are already being clinically used as bone-repairing materials. In the present study, antibacterial calcium silicate gel ($Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel) was prepared by sol-gel method in order to control the microstructure, which is related to the dissolution rate and induction period of apatite formation in body environment. In addition, biological $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ is tested. This was done to impart antimicrobial activity to the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$. Ag ion was added during sol-gel synthesis to replace the $H_2O$ added during the making of the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel, which has silver solutions of various concentration. After the sol-gel process, 1N-$HNO_3$ solution was used to wash the gel when synthesizing the gel, in order to maintain the porous structure and remove PEG, water soluble polymers. Then, the apatite forming ability of the sol-gel derived CaO-$SiO_2$ gels was investigated using simulated body fluid (SBF), which had almost the same ion concentration as that of human blood plasma. The gels were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM observation, XRD, and fluorescent microscopy. The apatite was successfully created even after washing the gel; apatite is present in an amorphous state, and was found to affect the concentration of the Ag ion in cells in MC3T3 live & dead assay results. From these results, it is suggested that a good material that can be used to repair defects of nature bone is $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel.

An HPLC method was employed for the determination of ethambutol in human plasma. After addition of internal standard (IS, octylamine, $2\;{\mu}g/mL$) and alkalinization of the plasma with 5 M sodium hydroxide, the drug and IS were extracted into the mixture of chloroform and diethyl ether (40:60, v/v). Following a 15-min vortex-mixing and a 10min centrifugation, the organic phase was spiked with $100{\mu}L$ of phenylethylisocyanate $(2000{\mu}g/mL)$ for chemical derivatization, mixed for 5 min and evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen. The residue was reconstituted with $100{\mu}L$ of mobile phase and $20{\mu}L$ was injected into C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water (70:30, v/v). The samples were detected utilizing an ultraviolet detector at 200 nm. The method was specific and validated with a limit of $0.15\;{\mu}g/mL$. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification. The applicability of this method was demonstrated by analysis of human plasma after oral administration of a single 1200-mg dose to 20 healthy subjects. From the plasma ethambutol concentration vs. time curves, the mean AUC was $9.61{\pm}1.64\;{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/mL$ and Cmax of $2.68\;{\mu}g/mL$ reached 2.73 hr after administration. The mean biological half-life of ethambutol was $3.46{\pm}1.21$ hr. Based on the results, this simple and validated assay could readily be used in any pharmacokinetic studies using humans.
