A simple method for studying the lectin-like interactions between Helicobacter pylori and cultured human epithelial cell lines was developed using an enzyme-linked, biotin-streptavidin bacterial-adhesion assay. The present study suggests that this method is suitable for evaluating the participation of lectin interactions in the adhesion of H. pylori to cultured HeLa S3 and Kato III cells, both fixed and glycosidase-treated cells, as well as assessing glycoconjugated binding inhibition studies. The time-course and dose-dependent kinetics of the biotin-labeled H. pylori adhesion th the formaldehyde-fixed Hela S3 and Kato III cell lines exhibited saturation. In addition, the binding of the biotin-labeled H. pylori to the formaldehyde-fixed cultured cells was partially blocked by pre-incubation with glycoconjugates and polyclonal antibodies against a heparan sulfate binding protein from H. pylori.

Kato후층도말변법 (M.C.T.S.)과 Stoll 회석충란계산법(D.E.C.T)으로 회충, 괸충, 간흡 충란 양성자 197명에 대하여 충란 정량검사를 실시하고 그 결과를 비교하여 상관함수식을 도출하였다. M.C.T.S.법에 소요된 검경시간은 표본 1매당 평균 12.6분으로 D.E.C.T.법의 14.6분보다 짧았으며, 층계부하가 낮은 감염자에 있어서도 위음성이 적었다. 각 윤충류 충란에 있어서 M.C.T.S.으로 얻은 결과를 대변 1 g당 충란수(E.P.G.)로 바꾸어 주는 전환함수식은 회충의 경우 E.P.G.=47.86×100.87 logM.C.T.S., 편충은 E.P.G.=41.69×100.83 logM.C.T.S., 간흡충은 E.P.G=63.10×100.55 logM.C.T.S.이었다. 장내 윤충류 감염에 대한 정량적 대변검사법으로 Kato후층도말변법이 Stoll희석충란계산 법보다 더 유용하다고 생각되었다.

Aims: To determine the status of women's perception and attitudes about cervical cancer and their thoughts on Kato's self-sampling device. Materials and Methods: This descriptive research was conducted between July-December 2012 with a study populationof married women older than 18 years. Results: A total of 246 women volunteered, with a mean age of $34.9{\pm}9.22$ (19-52). In the last year, 52.0% had been examined by a gynecologist to address a complaint or for a periodic health check. Of the 118 who had not had a gynecological examination, 42.4% indicated negligence, 26.3% stated the reason was no complaint, 14.4% feared they might receive bad results from the examination, and 8.5% stated that were shy or embarrassed. Of all of the women, 35.0% answered that they had information about cervical cancer, and 0.7% had heard about the HPV vaccine. No one in their families had received the vaccine. Of the women, 28.5% had had a Pap smear, and 71.4% of those had normal results. Of those who had never had a Pap smear, 47.2% had never heard about the test; 18.8% explained the reason for not having a test as shyness or embarrassment with a male doctor. None of the women had heard about Kato's device. Once the women were informed, 73.6% expresseed interest in use; 51.9% answered they could use it and not be embarrassed, 30.9% would use it because they did not have to see a doctor, and 17.1% would use it as it allows them to take a smear in all conditions and whenever they want. Of the women, 60.0% thought that they could not successfully use Kato's device; 40.0% thought that a smear should be taken by a doctor. Conclusions: Most of the women in our population had never had a Pap smear and wanted to use the Kato's device.

Object: In the present study, we compared the positive cytodiagnostic test rates with discrepancies using self-collection devices for cervical cancer screening. We made this survey to examine whether or not our self-smear preparation method using the Kato self-collection device contributed to an improved rate of detecting atypical cells compared with existing recommended preparation methods. Methods: Specimens were collected at 14 facilities handling self-collection methods, and samples were collected by a physician in 2 facilities. The chisquared test was performed using the SPSS ver. 20 statistical software to determine the relationships between the positive cytodiagnostic rate, specimen preparation methods, and self-collection devices. Results: Collecting cells using the Kato self-collection device and preparing liquid-based specimens, we obtained a significantly higher rate of positive cytodiagnosis and our results were equal to those obtained with the direct method. Conclusions: Taking into consideration increased needs for screening using the self-collection method in future, with even more improved test accuracy, a screening test that is acceptable to society needs to be established.

In this report, the inhibitory action of eupatilin was investgated by using leukotriene $D_4$ in the human neutrophils and Kato III cells (Gastric adenoma cells as a substitute for gastric mucosal cells) stimulated by Helicobacter pylori. Leukotriene $D_4$ ($LTD_4$) was released from both neutrophils and Kato III cells when these cells were incubated with H. pylori. The release of $LTD_4$ increased time-dependently and the maximum release of $LTD_4$ was $2.3{\sim}2.5$ pmol. But in the presence of eupatilin, the release of $LTD_4$ from these cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. In the neutrophils, the release of $LTD_4$ was suppressed to 70% and 50% of the control levels when neutrophils was incubated with 0.01 and 0.1 mM of eupatilin. In the Kato III cells, the release of $LTD_4$ was suppressed to 59% and 27% of the control levels by adding 0.01 and 0.1 mM of eupatilin. We estimated the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ levels when Kato III cells and neutrophils were stimulated by H. pylori using $^{45}Ca$. But the suppressive effect of eupatilin on $Ca^{2+}$ influx into these cells was not significant. We also obtained the results that H. pylori induced $Ca^{2+}$ influx into these cells by confocal microscopy, however there was no differences in the dose level of eupatilin. These results were confirmed by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR) spectroscopy. The NMR patterns of eupatilin in the absence of $Ca^{2+}$ was changed compare with when $Ca^{2+}$ was present, but its effect was not strong.

Objectives : We are aimed to identify anti-tumor effects of realgar on some kinds of cancer cells through molecular biologic methods. Materials & Methods : We used 5 kinds of cancer cell lines: lung cancer cells(A549). stomach cancer cells(KATO) and neuroglioma cells(SUN-1118. U-87MG, U-373MG). We injected the boiled extracts of realgar $50{\mu}g$. $100{\mu}g$ to cultural media( ml )for 24 hours. We measured the killing effects on 5 kinds of cancer cells through inverted and fluorescence microscope, the suppressive effects on viability of those cells via XTT assay and the effects on the revelation of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins related to apoptosis by western blotting. Results : In the changes of morphology, the extracts of realgar showed more significant killing effects on all cancer cells. especially KATO, SNU-1118, U-87MG, U-373MG, than the control group with dose dependence, which was statistically significant. In XTT assay, the extracts of realgar showed more suppressive effects on viability of all cancer cells, especially KATO and U-373MG, than the control group with dose dependence, which was statistically significant. In the revelation of proteins related to apoptosis, the extracts of realgar increased the level of Bax and decreased that of Bcl-2 in all cancer cells with dose dependence. Conclusions : We identified that realgar had more anti-tumor effects on stomach cancer and neuroglioma than on lung cancer in the experiments above. However, these basic experiments were performed in vitro. We hope the anti-tumor effects of realgar will be practically identified through more progressive research.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 재배한 나무딸기류 과일(blackberry, Korean raspberry, black raspberry, boysenberry, golden raspberry)을 손으로 으깨거나 녹즙기를 사용하여 추출하여 이 추출물의 항산화 성분 및 항산화능을 분석하고, in-vitro 모델을 이용하여 각 추출물의 NO 소거능과 암세포항증식 활성을 분석하였다. 과일추출물의 총 polyphenol과 flavonoid 함량은 각각 0.6~8.9 mg/g과 0.1~7.9 mg/g으로 그 종류에 따라 다양하였다. Black raspberry 추출물은 갈지않고 추출하여도 다른 나무딸기류 과일에 비하여 polyphenol과 flavonoid를 매우 많이 함유하고 있었으며, blackberry, Korean raspberry, golden raspberry를 갈아서 추출한 것이 으깨어서 추출한 것보다 polyphenol 함량과 항산화능이 유의적으로 높았다. 또한 나무딸기류 과일추출물의 항산화능은 총 polyphenol(R=0.995) 및 flavonoid(R=0.967) 함량이 높을수록 증가하는 상관관계가 있었다. 나무딸기류 과일추출물 모두 0.25 mg/mL 이상의 농도에서 유의적인 NO소거능을 보였으며, 과일을 으깨어 추출한 것과 갈아서 추출한 것 간에 차이는 없었다. 나무딸기류 과일추출물을 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 mg/mL의 농도로 HT-29와 KATO-3 암세포에 처리하였을 때 이들 세포의 증식을 각각 3~32%와 0~57%씩 억제시켰다. Blackberry와 Korean raspberry는 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서 갈아서 추출한 추출물이 으깬 것보다 유의적으로 HT-29 암세포 증식을 억제했으며, KATO-3 암세포에서는 과일을 으깨어 추출한 것과 갈아서 추출한 것 간에 차이가 없었다. 나무딸기류 과일추출물의 NO 소거능이 증가할수록 HT-29(R=0.602)와 KATO-3(R=0.498) 암세포 증식 억제효과도 증가하였다.
