  • 항암제에 의해 흰쥐에서 다형핵 백혈구(polymorphonuclear leukocytes, PMN) 의 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)과 산화질소(nitric oxide, NO)의 생성변화에 대해 연구하였다. 최근 자극유도인자에 의한 PMN의 호흡방출은 protein kinase C (PKC)의 활성, inositol phosphate transduction pathway의 활성, 그리고 intracellular [$Ca^{2+}$]와 관계가 있다고 밝혀졌으며, 본 연구에서 사용된 항암제(cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, tamoxifen, doxifluridine)중 일부는 화학치료제로써 비특이적으로 면역을 억제하는데 사용되고 있다. 암 치료 시 백혈구의 방어기능에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위한 목적으로 in vitro에서 각 항암제를 처리한 PMN을 배양하여 ROS와 NO의 생성변화와 이차적 신호전달계인 phospholipase C(PLC), D(PLD), PKC, tyrosine phosphorylation kinase (TPK)와 phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase의 억제율을 측정하였다. PMN에 각각cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, tamoxifen, doxifluridine을 short term(${\leq}4hrs$) 처리시, formylmethionyl-leucy1-phenylalanine (FMLP) 자극에 의해 호흡방출의 증가가 나타났다. 반면, long term (8hrs) 처리 시, ROS의 생성은concentration-dependent 방법으로 감소되었다.

  • A routine hematological observation in the course of starvation was carried out on eight experimentel1y starved rabbits. They were strictly selected and restricted all of food intake with the exception of optional water intake until death. The body weight of each rabbit on the day before starvation was about 2 kilograms. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The average decrememt ratio of body weight on the terminal day before death was $34.3{\pm}7.5$ per cent with the range from 24.5 to 46.3 per cent. The average life duration until death was $10.25{\pm}2.6$ days, the range being from 6 to 14 days. 2. The decrease in number of reticulocytes with a parallel disappearance of polychromatic erythrocytes in peripheral blood in the course of starvation Was the most remarkable change in erythrocytic series, an evidence suggesting marked restriction of the erythropoietic function on 3rd to 4th day and almost complete suspension in about a week of starvation. 3. Erythrocyte count, hemoglobin content and haematocrit value of peripheral blood, were normal or indicative of slight hemoconcentration. 4. Mean Corpuscular Hemogloin Concentration was slightly higher than normal and Mean Corpuscular Volume tended to be low and no appreciable shifts were observed in Mean Corpuscular Diameter and Price-Jones curve of erythrocytes, while fewer macrocytes than normal were seen. These changes were considered to have resulted from a marked decrease in young erythrocytes in peripheral blood in the course of starvation. 5. Neither poikilccytoses or anisosytosis was observed. 6. Leukopenia was observed in all of 8 starved rabbits. The decrement ratio on the terminal day of starvation was between 13 to 64 per cent. The leukopenia was mainly due to fall of lymphocytes in 6 cases and to fall of neutrophilic leukocytes in the other 2 cases. In many cases, irregular fluctuation of neutrophilic leukocytes in its biological curve were seen in contrast to the relatively smooth changes of lymphocytes. Eosinophilic leukocytes tended to decrease in absolute number especially in later stage of starvation. Little significance in regard to monocytes and basophilic leukocytes in this study was discussed. 7. Proplasma cells, rarely plasma cells, appeared with a tendency to increase in number at later stage of starvation. 8. The most characteristic changes on circulating blood cells in complete starvation of rabbits were the leukoponia and failure of regeneration of erythroctes. These changes were considered as adaptive phenomena in response to the catabolic consumption of body constituents.

  • 급성 폐손상과 급성 호흡곤란 증후군은 치사율이 매우 높은 질환임에도 불구하고 현재까지 뚜렷한 치료법이 확립되지 않아서 조기진단에 많은 관심을 기울이고 있다. 본 실험에서는 출혈성 쇼크로 유발되는 급성 폐손상 모델에서 철대사를 조절하는 인자로 알려진 heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)과 ferritin의 변화 양상을 알아보고 급성 폐손상 또는 급성 호흡곤란 증후군의 조기진단인자로서 적합한지를 알아보고자 하였다. 실험동물은 체중 300-450g의 sprague-Dawley rat을 사용하였으며, 급성폐손상과 ferritin 및 HO-1변화의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 정상군(Sham), 출혈군 및 phospholipase A$_2$ 억제제인 mepacrine (60mg/kg, iv)을 전처치한 출혈군으로 나누어 실험하였다. Sham군은 출혈군과 동일하게 수술하고 출혈은 시키지 않았으며 나머지 과정은 출혈군과 동일하게 처리하였다. 출혈은 withdrawal pump를 이용하여 분당 4ml/kg의 속도로 5분간 총 체중kg 당 20ml의 혈액을 대퇴동맥에 연결한 관을 통하여 출혈시켰다. 출혈로 인하여 급성 폐손상이 유발되었으며 이는 mepacrine 전처치로 유의하게 억제되었다. 출혈 후 혈장 단백질 농도는 감소하였으나 혈장 ferritin 농도는 출혈 60분 후부터, HO-1 농도는 90분 후부터 증가하여 2시간 후에는 Shanm군에 비해 크게 증가하였으며, 이는 mepacrine 전처치한 경우에서 유의하게 둔화되었다. 폐세척액 내의 세포에서 ferritin과 HO-1의 발현량은 출혈군에서 가장 크게 나타났고, mepacrine을 전 처치한 출혈군에서 발현량이 줄어들었다. 이상의 결과로 살펴볼 때 혈장 ferritin및 HO-1은 출혈성 쇼크로 유발되는 급성 폐손상의 정도와 밀접한 상관관계를 가지고, 비록 정도의 차이는 있더라도 폐세척액 내의 염증성 세포에서도 발현량이 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러므로, 혈장의 ferritin 및 HO-1농도를 급성 폐손상 및 급성 호흡곤란 증후군의 조기진단을 위한 간접적인 생체지표로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 이 실험 모델에서는 ferritin이 HO-1보다 더 예민한 인자로 평가된다.

  • Background: The chemical characteristics of the exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus (referred to as exo-secretion) including the compositions of amino acids and monosaccharides were investigated. In addition, cytotoxicity of the exo-secretion on 5 tumor cell lines derived from human cancers and its antitumor activity against ascitic sarcoma-180 cells were examined. Methods: The antitumor activity of exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus was determined by measuring parameters including tumor weight, life span of mice, chemotatic activity of leukocytes, counts of immune cells, and activity of cytokines. Results: The exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus showed no direct cytotoxicity to the five tumor cell lines tested, but it had a strong antitumor activity against sarcoma-180 cells in ICR mice as measured by tumor weight and life span of mice. The exo-secretion stimulated the chemotaxis of leukocytes and production of immune cells and cytokines. Conclusion: These results suggest that the exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus do not act as a direct cytotoxic substance to cancer cells but as an immunomodulator.

  • Leukocytes in blood components are involved in diverse adverse transfusion reactions such as febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions. Therefore, leukocyte reduction is required to reduce these adverse reactions. The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of pre-storage filtration and post-storage filtration. Filtration time, residual leukocyte count, RBC recovery, and hemolysis were assessed after pre-storage or post-storage filtration. Compared to pre-storage filtration, filtration time was prolonged and hemolysis was dramatically increased when post-storage filtration was performed. Residual leukocytes count and RBC recovery after post-storage filtration were similar with those obtained after pre-storage filtration. These results suggest that pre-storage filtration has better efficiency than post-storage filtration. These are thought to contribute to the production of better quality of leukoreduction blood components.
