Radiation therapy has been used for the cancer treatment externally or internally. The external radiation therapy has been widely used, but for the lack of its selectivity it requires strong radiation dose causing the dermal irritation and radiation effect of the normal tissues or organs. So we investigate non-clinical and clinical studies of “Milican inj.”, in which chitosan is chelated with 166-Holmium, as an anticancer agent for internal radiation therapy. (omitted)

In this paper the boundedness for a large class of multi-sublinear operators is established on product generalized Morrey spaces with non-doubling measures. As special cases, the corresponding results for multilinear Calder$\acute{o}$n-Zygmund operators, multilinear fractional integrals and multi-sublinear maximal operators will be obtained.

Gene therapy has become a promising strategy for the treatment of genetically based diseases, such as cancer, which are currently considered incurable. A major obstacle in the field of cancer gene therapy is the development of a safe and efficient delivery system for therapeutic gene transfer. Non-viral vectors have attracted great interest, as they are simple to prepare, stable, easy to modify and relatively safe compared to viral vectors. In this review, an insight into the strategies developed for polyethylenimine (PEI)-based non-viral vectors has been provide, including improvement of the polyplex properties by incorporating hydrophilic spacer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Moreover, this review will summarize the strategies for the tumor targeting. Specifically, a targeted polymeric gene delivery system, PEI-g-PEG-RGD, will be introduced as an efficient gene delivery vector for tumor therapy, including its functional analysis both in vitro and in vivo.

One of the small proteins from Helicobacter pylori, acyl carrier protein (ACP), was investigated by NMR. ACP is related to various cellular processes, especially with the biosynthesis of fatty acid. The basic NMR resonance assignment is a prerequisite for the validation of a heterologuous protein interaction with ACP in H.pylori. Here, the results of the backbone $^1H$, $^{15}N$, and $^{l3}C$ resonance assignments of the H. pylori ACP are reported using double- and triple-resonance techniques. About 97% of all of the $^1HN$, $^{15}N$, $^{13}CO$, $^{13}C{\alpha}$, and $^{13}C{\beta}$ resonances that cover 76 of the 78 non-proline residues are clarified through sequential- and specific-assignments. In addition, four helical regions were clearly identified on the basis of the resonance assignments.

Mutagenicity of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) was examined in the reverse mutation test on bacteria, in the chromosomal aberration test on cultured mammalian cells and in the micronucleus test on mice. The reverse mutation test was performed by a plate incorporation method with or wothout a metabolic activation system (59 Mix) using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100, TA1535, TA98 and TA 1537. The rhEPO did not significantly increase revertant colonies in any of the test strains under any conditions at dose levels ranging from 1000 H/ml to 62.5 lu/plate, compared with the vehicle control. In the chromosomal aberration test using cultured Chinese Hamster Lung (CHL) cells, the number of aberrant cells was not increased in the presence or absence of 59 Mix at concentrations of 1000 lU/ml to 250 lU/ml, compared with the vehicle control. In the micronucleus test, male ICR mice were given rhEPO intraperitoneally at a dose level of 25000, 12500 and 6250 lU/kg. The incidence of bone marrow micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was not different from that of the vehicle control. From these results, rhEPO is considered to be non-mutagenic under the present test conditions.

In vitro diagnostic veterinary medical reagents (IVDVMRs) were diverted the medical devices from medicine by the revision of the pharmaceutical affairs act enforcement regulations in 2015 in Korea. It classified into class I-IV according to risks of individual and public health. However, good manufacturing practices requirements on IVDVMRs were exempted from the current system. The registration of IVDVMRs by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has gradually increased since 2012, and total of 584 products from 68 companies were registered from 1978 to 2017. Most of these items are clinical immunochemistry (infection disease), clinical immunochemistry (non-infection disease), molecular genetics, endocrinology, blood gas analysis, clinical microbiology, toxin, heavy metal and drug of abuse, other etc. The market size of IVDVMRs reported from the Korea Animal Health Products Association was estimated to be approximately 51.9 billion won in 2017. The domestic consumption and the export sales were approximately 31.2 and 20.7 billion won, respectively. They are increasing 23.9% (CAGR) in domestic consumption and 40.4% (CAGR) in export from 2011 to 2017.

Abeliophyllum distichum, one of the Korean endemic plant, is a significant pharmaceutical plant resource. A. distichum with phenylethanoid glycoside can use to regulate the development of cancer, DNA damage with radicals, and the generation of inflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated whether the biomass, content of phenylethanoid glycoside, and growth rate of callus derived from A. distichum (cultivar Okhwang1, CAD) change in the absence or presence of plant hormones (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 2, 4-D and 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid; NAA). The results showed that the best biomass, the growth rate of callus, and the contents of phenylethanoid glycoside were cultivated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) growth medium fortified with 1 ppm 2,4-D + 2 ppm NAA after 4 weeks. In a further study, CAD was cultivated on MS growth medium fortified with an elicitor (Methyl Jasmonate, MeJA). The results showed that CAD turned to brown color and fragile form with the elicitor. HPLC-PDA analysis revealed that the contents of phenylethanoid glycoside in the elicitor-treated group were higher than in the elicitor-non-treated group. These results are consistent with the findings of Arano-Varela H et al.,'s study which is that acteoside production can increase after the treatment of MeJA. Therefore, this study can be used to develop an effective and sustainable production of useful substances as an alternative to plant cultivation.
