  • Background: Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting mu-opioid receptor agonist, is unique from other opioids because of its esterase-based metabolism, minimal accumulation, and very rapid onset and offset of clinical action. Remifentanil can prevent the inflammatory response and can suppress inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in a septic mouse model. However, the effects of remifentanil on human keratinocyte and autophagy have yet to be fully elucidated during hypoxia-reoxygenation. Here we investigated whether remifentanil confers protective effect against hypoxia-reoxygenation in human keratinocyte and, if so, whether autophagy mediates this effect. Methods: The human keratinocytes were cultured under 1% oxygen tension. The cells were gassed with 94% $N_2$, and 5% $CO_2$ and incubated for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$. To determine whether the administration of affects human keratinocytes hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, cells were then exposed to various concentrations of remifentanil (0.01, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 ng/ml) for 2 h. After remifentanil treatment, to simulate reoxygenation and recovery, the cells were reoxygenated for 12 h at $37^{\circ}C$. Control group did not receive remifentanil treatment. Normoxia group did not receive hypoxia and remifentanil treatment for 36 h. 3-MA group was treated 3-methyladenine (3-MA) for 1h before remifentanil treatment. Cell viability was measured using a quantitative colorimetric assay with MTT, showing the mitochondrial activity of living cells. Cells were stained with fluorescence and analyzed with Western blot analysis to find out any relations with activation of autophagy. Results: Prominent accumulation of autophagic specific staining MDC was observed around the nuclei in RPT group HaCaT cells. Similarly, AO staining, red fluorescent spots appeared in RPT group HaCaT cells, while the Normoxia, control and 3-MA groups showed mainly green cytoplasmic fluorescence. We here examined activation of autophagy related protein under H/R-induced cells by Western blotting analysis. Atg5, Beclin-1, LC3-II (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 form II) and p62 was elevated in RPT group cells. But they were decreased when autophagy was suppressed by 3-MA (Fig. 5). Conclusions: Although the findings of this study are limited to an in vitro interpretation, we suggest that remifentanil may have a beneficial effect in the recovery of wound from hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.

  • 본 연구에서는 천연물 유래 구강 건강소재로써 인도감나무 줄기 추출물의 이용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 TLC, TLC-bioautography, HPLC, ESI-MS 등을 이용하여 인도감나무 줄기 추출물로부터 S. mutans KCTC3065에 대해 항균활성이 있는 항균물질을 분리하고 주사전자현미경과 real-time PCR을 이용하여 추출물이 S. mutans의 생물막에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. S. mutans에 대한 인도감나무 줄기 추출물의 항균활성은 극성이 낮은 n-hexane 분획물에서 확인되었고 TLC, TLC-bioautography, HPLC에 의해 분리된 항균물질의 분자량은 ESI-MS분석 결과 188로 추정되었다. 인도감나무 줄기 추출물(1 mg/ml) 처리에 따른 S. mutans의 바이오필름 바이오매스 변화는 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였으며 추출물을 처리하지 않은 대조구는 추출물 처리구에 비해 세포가 군집을 이루고 모여 있었으며 세포 주변에서 바이오필름이 관찰되었지만 추출물을 처리한 처리구의 세포 주변에서는 바이오필름을 관찰할 수 없었다. Real-time PCR을 이용하여 바이오필름 생성 과정에서 치면 부착에 필수적인 GTFs의 발현 양상을 조사한 결과, 인도감나무 추출물이 0.2-1.0 mg/ml의 농도로 처리된 배양액에서 gtfB 유전자 발현은 추출물의 농도에 따라 큰 변화가 없었지만 gtfC 유전자 발현은 추출물의 농도가 높아질수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 인도감나무 줄기 추출물은 바이오필름 형성 단계에서 치아우식증 원인균인 S. mutans의 초기 치면 부착을 저해함으로서 바이오필름 생성을 억제할 수 있는 천연물 유래 구강 건강소재로써 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Purpose: In this study, the general characteristics of subjects who spent more than a certain amount of cost for general medical examination at the general hospital health promotion center, and the characteristics of disease, family history, and lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, physical activity, oral care) significantly differed in cost expenditure. We intend to provide basic data for establishing an appropriate marketing strategy for comprehensive examination. Method: It was conducted for users who received comprehensive checkups at a health promotion center at a general hospital in Seoul. The research data collection period is for 979 people who performed comprehensive examinations from January 2019 to December 2020. In order to carry out a comprehensive examination, a questionnaire before the examination was distributed to the subjects who visited the hospital to prepare, and the investigation was conducted in a way that the subjects of the investigation directly filled in. Results: There was a significant influence on the difference in expenditure for comprehensive examination according to the gender, age, and type of health insurance of the subject. In addition, there were significant differences in expenditure according to the presence or absence of disease and the type of family history. Weight loss, smoking history, smoking period, smoking frequency, drinking history, and drinking frequency all had significant effects on cost expenditure. Also, strength training and oral treatment management showed a significant effect on the cost of comprehensive examination. The number of flossing and interdental brushing was also found to have a significant effect. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, disease history (t=2.683, p<.01) and mean smoking frequency (t=4.315, p<.001) appeared to have the most significant effect on expenditure statistically. In other words, when the subject has a history of disease and when the average number of smoking is large, it means that the comprehensive examination cost is remarkably large. Conclusion: By using these contents, hospitals can further refine the marketing of the examination center. In addition, a more convenient and specialized process should be used by patients by linking the general medical department and the examination center well. In terms of management of operating medical institutions, this can be expected to create patients and increase profits.

  • Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency may cause bone loss and increased inflammation, which are well-known symptoms of periodontal disease. This study investigated whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are associated with periodontal disease status and tooth loss. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 5,405 individuals aged ≥50 years (2,253 males and 3,152 females) were obtained from the 2008-2010 Dong-gu study, a prospective cohort study of risk factors for chronic diseases. Periodontal examinations were conducted to evaluate the number of remaining teeth, the periodontal probing depth (PPD), the clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing. The percentages of sites with PPD ≥4 mm and CAL ≥4 mm were recorded for each participant. The severity of periodontitis was classified using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Periodontology case definitions. Serum 25(OH)D levels were classified as reflecting severe deficiency, deficiency, insufficiency, or sufficiency. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to assess the associations of serum 25(OH)D levels with periodontal parameters and the number of remaining teeth after adjusting for confounders including age, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, month of blood collection, and physical activity. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between serum vitamin D levels and severe periodontitis. An overall statistical analysis and a stratified analysis by sex were performed. Results: Overall, the rates of severe deficiency, deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency were 6.5%, 67.9%, 22.4%, and 3.2%, respectively. After adjustment for confounders, vitamin D levels were directly associated with the number of remaining teeth, an association that was significant in males, but not in females. Sufficient serum 25(OH)D was associated with a low frequency of severe periodontitis. Conclusions: This population-based cross-sectional study indicates that low serum 25(OH) D is significantly associated with tooth loss and severe periodontitis in Koreans aged 50 years and older.

  • 배 경 : Gemifloxacin은 그람음성 및 그람양성 균주에 대해서 모두 좋은 활성을 가지고 있는 fluoroquinolone 항균제로서, 임상균주를 이용한 in vitro 시험에서 다른 대조 quinolone에 비하여 S. pneumnoniae의 penicillin 내성 균주에 대해서 활성이 높을 뿐만 아니라, 다른 quinolone 항균제에 내성을 나타내는 S. pneumoniae 임상 균주에 대해서도 좋은 활성을 유지하는 것으로 밝혀져 만성기관지염의 급성악화(AECB)시 사용하기 적절한 치료제로 여겨진다. 목 적 : 한국인에서 AECB를 치료하기 위한 LB20304(gemifloxacin) 160mg 또는 320rng 1일 1회 7일간 투여의 유효성과 안전성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 : Gemifloxacin 100mg과 위약을 1일 1회 7일간 경구 투여한 환자 67명, gemifloxacin 320mg을 1일 1회 7일간 경구 투여한 환자 70명의 환자를 대상으로 무작위 배정, 이중맹검, 병행 치료군, 다기관, 2상 임상시험으로 실시하였다. 결 과 : 두 치료군의 인구통계학적 특징과 임상적 및 흡연 기왕력 등 기저 상태는 대등하였다. Per-protocol(PP) 환자군에서, 추적관찰 시점(days 14-21) 및 치료종료 시점(days 7-10)에서의 임상적 반응은 gemifloxacin 100mg군이 각각 84.2%, 96.5%, 320mg군이 각각88.7%, 96.4%로 두 군간에 유의한 사이가 없었고(각각 p=0.49, p=0.99), 추적관찰 시점 및 치료종료 시점의 미생물학적 반응도 gemifloxacin 160mg군이 각각 78.9%, 81.8%, 320mg군이 각각 84.2%, 86.4%로 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다(각각 p=0.68, p=0.68) 본 임상시험에서 치료 전에 많이 배양된 병원균으로는 S. pneumoniae(12/52), H. influenzae(10/52), K. pneumoniae(6/52), M. catarrhalis(3/52) 로 K. pneumoniae가 비교적 많이 배양된 점을 제외하고는 기존에 알려진 AECB 시 배양되는 병원균의 분포와 큰 차이가 없었다. S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, K. pneumoniae, M. catarrhalis 등 주요 병원 균에 대한 MIC는 전반적으로 다른 quinolone 항균제보다 gemifloxacin이 더 낮았고, 특히 S. pneumoniae(3 PRSP, 7 ERSP 포함)에 대한 gemifloxacin의 MIC(${\leq}0.03ug/ml$)는 다른 quinolone, beta-lactam, macrolide 항균제보다 월등히 낮아 gemifloxacin 이 AECB의 치료에 매우 유용한 항균제임을 보여주었다. 안전성 결과에서는 gemifloxacin 160mg 및 320mg 투여군 모두 시험약과의 관련성을 배제할 수 없거나 관련이 의심되는 중대한 이상반용은 관찰되지 않았고, 치료 중 및 치료 후 30일 기간동안, 이상반응을 최소한 하나 이상 보고한 환자가 gemifloxacin 160mg군은 26.9%, 320mg군은 31.4%이었다. 가장 흔히 보고된 이상반응은 간효소 수치의 증가로서, 발생 빈도는 160mg군에서 1/67명(1.5%), 320mg군에서 5/70명(7.1%) 이었다. 간효소 수치의 증가로 인해 탈락한 환자는 없었고, 중증도(severity)는 모두 경도(mild)였으며, 별다른 처치 없이 정상으로 회복되었다. 전반적인 이상반응의 profile에서 치료군간 주요한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : 본 임상시험의 결과, 한국인에서 AECB를 치료하기 위한 gemifloxacin 160mg 또는 320mg 1일 1회 7일간의 투여는 임상적 및 미생물학적으로 매우 유효하고 안전하였다.

  • Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of gliclazide were studied after an oral administration of gliclazide tablets in healthy volunteers. After an overnight fasting, gliclazide tablet was orally administered to 11 volunteers; Additional 10 volunteers were used as a control group (i.e., no gliclazide administration). Blood samples were collected, and the concentration determined for gliclazide and glucose up to 24 after the administration. Standard pharmacokinetic analysis was carried out for gliclazide. Pharmacodynamic activity of the drug was expressed by increase of glucose concentration ($\Delta$PG), by area under the increase of glucose concentration-time curve ($AUC_{$\Delta$PG}$) or by the difference in increase of glucose concentration ($D_{$\Delta$PG}$) at each time between groups with and without gliclazide administration. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that $C_{max}, T_{max}$, CL/F (apparent clearance), V/F (apparent volume of distribution) and half-life of gliclazide were $4.69\pm1.38 mg/L, 3.45\pm1.11 h, 1.26\pm0.35 L/h, 17.78\pm5.27 L, and 9.99\pm2.15 h$, respectively. When compared with the no drug administration group, gliclazide decreased significantly the $AUC_{$\Delta$PG}$ s at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 h (p<0.05). The $\Delta$PGs were positively correlated with $AUC_{gliclazide}$ at 1 and 1.5 h (p<0.05), and the correlation coefficient was maximum at 1 h (r = 0.642) and gradually decreased at 4 h after the administration. The $AUC_{$\Delta$PG}$s were positively correlated with $AUC_{gliclazide}$ at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h (p<0.05), and the maximum correlation coefficient was obtained at 2 h (r=0.642) after the administration. The $D_{$\Delta$PG}$ reached the maximum at 1 h, remained constant from 1 h to 3 h, and decreased afterwards. Therefore, these observations indicated that maximum hypoglycemic effect of gliclazide was reached at approximately at 1.5 h after the administration and the effect decreased, probably because of the homeostasis mechanism, in health volunteers.

  • Over the past few years, anthocyanin has been demonstrated to exert potentially anti-oxidative and bioavailability effects including anti-cardiovascular disease and cancer-preventive effects in humans. This study was conducted to assess the toxicity of anthocyanin extracts from black soybean seed coats via oral administration in a mice feeding test. The final anthocyanin-containing products induced signs of toxicity on mortality in the 4-week feeding test. The incidence of clinical signs and changes in body and organ weight were also not observed in all anthocyanin-treated groups as compared with the control groups. In hematology analysis, RBC indices concluding MCV, MCH, and MCHC and WBC differential counting such a NEU, LYM, MONO, EOS, and BASO evidenced no significant differences between the anthocyanin treatment and control groups. The biochemical parameters in serum analysis - ALT, AST, BUN, Crea etc.- were also not significantly altered in those groups. Absolute and relative organ weights were not increased after 4 weeks of treatment with anthocyanin extracts in mice. In conclusion, anthocyanin extracts from the black soybean has biological activity without any toxic effects, which also suggests that the consumption of soy containing anthocyanin products may be a good source for health and medical supplies.

  • Hypoglycemic effect of onion skin extract in vitro and in vivo was investigated. A methanol extract of onion skin inhibited yeast $\alpha$-glucosidase with an $IC_{50}$ of 0.159 mg/mL. A single oral administration of the onion skin extract (500 mg/kg) significantly lowered the postprandial area under the glucose response curve to starch (1 g/kg, p<0.05). Three-week-old db/db mice were fed an AIN-93G diet or a diet supplemented with a 0.5% onion skin extract for 7 weeks after a 1-week adaptation period. Consumption of onion skin extract significantly reduced the levels of plasma glucose, insulin, and blood glycated hemoglobin as compared with the control group (p<0.05). These findings suggest that onion skin is effective in controlling hyperglycemia in animal models of type 2 diabetes mellitus, at least in part by inhibiting $\alpha$-glucosidase activity.
