  • This paper evaluated the fire characteristics by using furniture calorimeter. Fire property assessment using the furniture calorimeter showed that the heat release rate is maximum 1,600 kW, maximum CO is 0.261%, maximum CO2 is 2.597%, while for the sofa for one person, the maximum heat release rate is approx. 531.5 kW, max. CO is 0.102%, and max. CO2 is 1.011%.

  • Background: Crohn's disease is characterized by a chronic relapsing inflammation of the bowel. Gliotoxin has been known to play strong immunosuppressive properties, while mechanisms for its anti-inflammatory actions are not completely understood. Here, we investigated the effects of gliotoxin in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) induced mouse colitis, an animal model of Crohn's disease. Results: Gliotoxin dramatically improved clinical and histopathological symptoms in accompanied with reduced expression of TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$, and ICAM-1 protein levels in TNBS induced colitis. Interestingly Gliotoxin induced Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the HO-1 inducer cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPPIX) completely mimicked the protective effects of gliotoxin in TNBS induced colitis mice. In contrast, the HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX) could reverse the anti-inflammatory effects of gliotoxin and CoPPIX. Conclusions: Gliotoxin is a potential therapeutic agent targeting for the treatment of Crohn's disease by inducing HO-1.

  • Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is of great interest because of its important roles in the oxidation of numerous drugs and xenobiotics. HDJ-1, a molecular chaperone in human, is known to assist the correct folding of unfolded proteins. To achieve a high yield of recombinant human CYP3A4 in Escherichia coli, the CYP3A4 encoding gene was co-expressed with the chaperone HDJ-1, under the control of an inducible tac promoter in a bicistronic format. The levels of expression of the CYP3A4 in the bicistronic construct reached up to 715 nmol $(liter culture)^{-1}$ within 16 h at $37^{\circ}C$, which was about a 3.3-fold increase compared to that of the CYP3A4 alone without the HDJ-1. By co-expression with HDJ-1, the catalytic activity of CYP3A4 was also increased by -15-fold. The amount of activity increase was similar to that of the CYP production at the whole cell level. The present over-expression system may be useful for the rapid production of large amounts of active CYP3A4 in E. coli.

  • Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme with broad tissue expression, is wel1-regulated in response to hematopoietic stress and preserves vascular homeostasis. We investigated the involvement of HO-1 in HL-60 cell differentiation. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) completely decreased HO-1 expression in a time-dependent manner, but clearly induced HL-60 cell differentiation, as evidenced by a marked increase in CD11b expression. Interestingly, zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a strong inhibitor of HO-1, induced HL-60 cell differentiation. In contrast, treatment with cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP), an activator of HO-1, decreased CD11b expression. Additionally, ZnPP down-regulated HO-1 protein expression in HL-60 cells, whereas CoPP induced upregulation. These results suggest that HO-1 might have a negative function in DMSO-induced HL-60 cell differentiation. This study provides the first evidence that HO-1 plays an important role in DMSO-induced HL-60 cell differentiation.
