The effects of dissolved oxy-gen(DO) concentration and DO control modes on cell growth in a 4L computer-controlled bioreactor system were investigated using Phellinus linteus WI-001, a producer of protein-polysaccharides having potent anticancer activi-ties. When DO was controlled at about 20%, maximum cell concentration and specific growth rate of the strain were observed to increase 36% and 64%, respectively, as compared to the experiment performed without DO control. By adopting cascade automatic control of DO ar 20% in a mixed automatic control mode using computer-con-trolled program, 19.5g/L of maximum cell concentration was obtained. These results showed that the mixed auto-matic control mode was the effective method for enhancing cell growth of the shear sensitive Phellinus linteus.

저농도, 고농도의 BOD, COD, TN, TP 항목에 대해 13개 기관을 대상으로 정도관리를 실시하였다. 정도관리 평가값은 6회에 걸쳐 주기적으로 반복측정한 평균치로 정하였으며, 이 값은 실제 조제한 값으로부터 오차율이 5%이내였으며, 표준편차도 0.44 (BOD, 저농도), 2.15 (BOD, 고농도), 0.12 (COD 저농도), 1.63 (COD 고농도), 0.35 (TN 저농도), 1.99 (TN 고농도), 0.05 (TP, 저농도), 0.14 (TP, 고농도)으로 정밀도가 아주 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 6회에 걸쳐 주기적으로 반복측정하여 허용상하한값과 경고상하한값을 구하여 정도관리차트를 얻었으며, 이 차트에 따라 평가한 결과 BOD 저농도의 경우 3개 기관이 5.30, 9.70, 5.30 mg/L로 허용상하한값을 벗어났으며, 고농도는 5개 기관이 허용상하한값을 벗어나 BOD 측정분석의 신뢰도가 다소 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. COD 저농도의 경우 4개 실험실, 고농도는 2개 기관이 41.00, 30.60 mg/L로 허용상하한값을 벗어났으며, 그외의 11개 기관은 신뢰할 수 있는 측정분석 결과를 산출하였다. TN 저농도의 경우 1개 기관만이 0.70 mg/L로 허용 하한값을 벗어났지 그외의 11개 기관은 거의 평가값에 가까운 우수한 측정분석 결과를 산출하였으며, 고농도는 거의 대부분인 11개 기관이 허용상하한값의 범위를 벗어나 측정분석 결과에 대한 신뢰도 향상에 보다 더 중점을 두어야 할 것으로 나타났다. TP 저농도의 경우 4개 기관이 1.14, 0.45, 0.64, 1.49 mg/L로 허용 상하한값을 벗어났으며, 고농도는 7개 기관이 허용 상하한값을 벗어나 TP 측정 분석의 신뢰도가 다소 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives : The present study investigated inflammatory effect of Rheum undulatum L. in lipopolysaccharide-exposed rats and Raw 264.7 cells. Methods : Male rats weighting $185.39{\pm}8.21g$ fed basal diet for 1 week and 32 rats were divided into a control group and 3 experimental groups. We fed a control group of rats a basal diet and administered normal saline(100 mg/kg, 1time/1day) for 6 weeks. And we fed basal diet and administered an extract of Rheum undulatum L.(100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, 1time/1day) to each experimental group of rats. We measured the plasma concentration of $IL-1{\beta}$($interleukin-1{\beta}$), IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$(tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$), liver cytokines, Raw 264.7 macrophages cytokines. Results : The plasma concentration of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ peaked at 5h(hour) after LPS(lipopolysaccharides) injection, and the values of the Rheum undulatum L. extract groups were lower than those of the control group. In the increment of these cytokines concentration at 2h and 5h after LPS injection, the Rheum undulatum L. groups were lower than that of control group. The plasma concentration of IL-10 peaked at 5h after LPS injection, and the values of the Rheum undulatum L. extract groups were higher than those of the control group. In the increment of this cytokine concentration at 2h and 5h after LPS injection, the Rheum undulatum L. groups were higher than that of control group. Liver cytokines measurement was done at 5h after LPS injection. The concentration of liver $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 in the Rheum undulatum L. groups was lower than that of the control group. The concentrations of liver $TNF-{\alpha}$, and IL-10 showed no significant differences among all the treatment groups. In the studies of lipopolysaccharide-exposed Raw 264.7 cells, the concentration of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the lipopolysaccharide-exposed cells groups was higher than that of control group(normal group), and in the lipopolysaccharide-exposed cells groups, these values showed a tendency to decrease in the Rheum undulatum L. groups. The concentration of IL-10 in the lipopolysaccharide-exposed cells groups was higher than that of control group(normal group), and in the lipopolysaccharide-exposed cells groups, the values showed a tendency to increase in the Rheum undulatum L. groups. Conclusions : These results indicate that the Rheum undulatum L. extracts have an functional material for inflammatory activities.

In order to prepare the fundamental data for preventing the hazardous effects at toluene exposure in many kinds of industry, the authors determined the level of urinary hippuric acid on 592 toluene exposed women(exposed group) and 102 unexposed women(control group) in Pusan area, from April. 1 to October 31, 1986. Hippuric acid was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The mean value of urinary hippuric acid concentration of the control group was $0.44{\pm}0.21g/l$(0.11-0.89g/l). The distribution of urinary hippuric acid concentration of the control group was not fit to the normal distribution. 2. The mean value of urinary hippuric acid concentration of the exposed group was $1.56{\pm}0.95g/l$(0.44-4.57g/l). The distribution of urinary hippuric acid concentration of control group was not fit to the normal distribution. 3. The urinary hippuric acid concentration by age group was not statistically significant in the control group, but in the exposed group the urinary hippuric acid concentration was highest in women between 20-29 years old($1.71{\pm}0.95g/l$) and was statistically significant(p<0.01). 4. The urinary hippuric acid concentration by duration of working hours was not statistically significant (p>0.1).

Objectives : While inducing inflammatory response due to LPS it will investigate mechanism associated with anti-inflammatory effects from macrophages and provide basic data for the possible use as anti-inflammatory materials. Methods : We investigated cell viability, NO, $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 by ELISA and expressions of iNOS, COX-2, MAPKs and $NF-{\kappa}B$ were measured in RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS. Results : The cell viability of Parthenocissus tricuspidata extracts(PTE) identified in macrophages showed that cell viability rate was more than 99% at the concentration of 8, 40, and $200{\mu}g/mL$. NO generated amounts revealed that it relied on concentration and was significantly reduced compared to the control. The expression of iNOS was restrained by the control at the concentration of 200 and $400{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the expression of COX-2 was found to be significantly reduced to the untreated control at the concentration of $400{\mu}g/mL$. $TNF-{\alpha}$ relied on concentration and showed a significant decreased compared to the control. In contrast, IL-6 relied on concentration, reduced compared to the control. Phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 mediated by LPS were restrained by relying on concentration. Phosphorylation and decomposition of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ as well as p65 nuclear transmission of $NF-{\kappa}B$ subunit were restrained. Conclusions : By restraining the activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$, anti-inflammatory effects were revealed by reducing phosphorylative activation of MAPKs, restraining the expression of iNOS and COX-2 and restraining the creation of NO, IL-6, and $TNF-{\alpha}$. Therefore, it can be assumed that they can be used as a variety of anti-inflammatory materials.

Recently elevated plasma homocysteine concentration is considered an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and thrombosis with coronary artery disease. Folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ are cofactors and closely related with metabolism of homocysteine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between homocysteine and folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ in patients with ischemic heart disease. Twenty-six patients, in whom coronary angiographic finding revealed more than $50\%$ of stenosis at least in one coronary vessel were enrolled as the patient group, and thirty subjects, in whom angiographic finding revealed in not significant stenosis, but complained of chest pain, were selected as the control group. Fasting venous blood was obtained and measured the concentration of plasma total homocysteine, folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ by high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection method. We examined the correlation between homocysteine and folate and/or vitamin $B_{12}$ in the control group and the patient group, respectively. Compared with the control group, the patient group had relatively higher plasma total homocysteine concentration ($10.7\pm4.2\;vs\;9.6\pm3.5$ umol/L), but showed no significant difference. Folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ concentration are low in the patient group, but showed no significant difference between patient and control group. Plasma total homocysteine concentration showed negative correlation with folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ in both the control group and the patient group, and showed significantly negative correlation in patient group {r = -0.550 (p < 0.01) vs r = -0.609 (p < 0.01)}. We knew that the plasma total homocysteine concentration were relatively elevated in patient group compared with the control group. Because plasma total homocysteine concentrations are closely negative correlated with folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ in the patient group, folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ supplement can lower the mortality and morbidity of ischemic heart disease.
