  • The most commonly proposed mechanism for QT interval prolongation(LQT) by pharmaceuticals is inhibition of the rapid delayed rectifier potassium channel (I$\_$Kr/). The LQT potency of pharmaceuticals can be effectively evaluated by examining the effect on hERG channels expressed in CHO cells, known to be equal to I$\_$Kr/. But, It was known that hERG channels according to increase the bath temperature have several changes, including a marked increase in the amplitude of the outward and tail currents, and acceleration of the rates of activation, recovery from inactivation, and deactivation.

  • The immnunogenicity of the possible non-essential component of the combined vaccine (KGCC-957) for the prophylaxis against Japanese encephalitis and Hantaan virus infection recently developed by Korea Green Cross Corporation was investigated using the Hartley guinea pigs. The KGCC-95Vl was administered to the guinea pigs subcutaneously to sensitize the animals. The guinea pigs did not induce any anaphylactic immune responses which could be detectable by the active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA), the passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA), and the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) tests. The KGCC-95Vl is considered not to induce any anaphylactic immune responses except the prophylatic immune effects of the vaccine.

  • Synthetic biology approaches offer potential for large-scale and sustainable production of natural products with bioactive potency, including ginsenosides, providing a means to produce novel compounds with enhanced therapeutic properties. Ginseng, known for its non-toxic and potent qualities in traditional medicine, has been used for various medical needs. Ginseng has shown promise for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, and it has been used as a potential agent to boost immunity against various infections when used together with other drugs and vaccines. Given the increasing demand for ginsenosides and the challenges associated with traditional extraction methods, synthetic biology holds promise in the development of therapeutics. In this review, we discuss recent developments in microorganism producer engineering and ginsenoside production in microorganisms using synthetic biology approaches.

  • 2-Bromopropane (2-BP), a halogenated propane analogue, is a substitute for chlorofluorocarbones (CFCs) which have a great potential to destroy the ozone layer and to warm the earth's environment. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential adverse effects of 2-BP on pregnant dams and embryo-fetal development after maternal exposure during the gestational days (GD) 6 through 17 in ICR mice. The test chemical was administered subcutaneously to pregnant mice at dose levels of 0, 313, 625 or 1,250 mg/kg/day. All dams were subjected to caesarean section on GD 18 and their fetuses were examined for external, visceral and skeletal abnormalities. In the 1,250 mg/kg group, maternal toxicity included an increase in the incidence of abnormal clinical signs and a decrease in the maternal body weight, body weight gain, and corrected body weight. Developmental toxicity included a decrease in the fetal body weight, a reduction in the placental weight, an increase in the fetal skeletal variation and ossification delay. There were no adverse effects on either pregnant dams or embryo-fetal development in the 313 and 625 mg/kg groups. These results suggest that a 12-day subcutaneous dose of 2-BP is embryotoxic at a maternally toxic dose (i.e., 1,250 mg/kg/day) in ICR mice. In the present experimental condition, the no-observed-adverse-effect level of 2-BP is considered to be 625 mg/kg/day for dams and embryo-fetuses, respectively.

  • Patient-specific image-based internal dosimetry involves using the patient's individual anatomy and spatial distribution of radioactivity over time to obtain an absorbed dose calculation. Individual absorbed dose was calculated by accumulated activity multiply S-value of each organs. The aim of this study was to calculate the S-values using Monte Carlo simulation in monkey and mouse and evaluation of absorbed dose in each organ. Self-irradiation S-value of monkey heart self-irradiation was 3.15E-03 mGy-g/MBq-s, lung self-irradiation was 8.94E-04 mGy-g/MBq-s and liver self-irradiation S-value was 2.23E-03 mGy-g/MBq-s. Mouse heart self-irradiation S-value was 1.95E-01 mGy-g/MBq-s, lung was 9.59E-02 mGy-g/MBq-s, and liver was 1.40E-03 mGy-g/MBq-s. The results of this study show that the calculation protocol of image based individual absorbed dose of each organ using Monte Carlo simulation. Therefore, this study may be applied to calculate human specific absorbed dose.

  • 헤테로폴리산(HPW)을 표면적이 서로 다른 담체인 $SiO_2$ MCM-41, MCM-48에 담지농도와 소성온도를 달리하며 담지시켰다. X-선 회절분석, 질소 흡착법, 적외선 흡수 스펙트럼, $^{31}P$ 고체 핵자기 공명을 통해서 이 담지촉매의 특성을 조사하였다. IR과 NMR의 결과로부터 HPW가 담체안에서 케긴 구조를 유지하면서 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. MCM-41의 경우에는 35 wt %, MCM-48의 경우에는 65 wt %로 담지시킨 경우에도 X-선 회절패턴에서 HPW 고유의 피크가 나타나지 않았으며, 이와 같은 특성을 통해서 HPW가 고분산 되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. Di, bis, tri-pentaerythritol의 가수분해 반응에서 이들 담지 촉매는 높은 촉매 활성을 보였으며 HPW, $HPW/SiO_2$보다 HPW/MCM-41, 48의 촉매 활성이 더 우수하였다.
