This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidative activity of soymilk added with buckwheat sprout (SBS), and sensory properties of SBS were analyzed with control soymilk (CS). Moisture content decreased while protein, ash, and lipid contents increased according to content of buckwheat sprout. Solids content and viscosity tended to increase with addition of buckwheat sprout from 0% (CS) to 2.5% (2.5SBS), 3.5% (3.5SBS), and 4.5% (4.5SBS). SBS was found the significant pH drop from 7.08 to 6.43, 6.34, and 6.21. Suspension stability of soymilk slightly decreased with addition of buckwheat sprout. Hunter's color value L of SBS decreased while a and b values increased in comparison with CS. Rutin content was measured 23.78 mg/100 g (2.5SBS), 39.68 mg/100 g (3.5SBS), and 44.80mg/100 g (4.5SBS). Vitamin C content in SBS was higher than CS. Daidzin content increased as buckwheat sprout was added. Total phenolic content increased from 100.95 mg/100 g (CS) up to 315.71 mg/100 g (4.5SBS). For free radical scavenging activity, SBS was significantly higher than CS. In conclusion, SBS can be used as a functional food with higher amounts of rutin, vitamin C, total phenolics, and daidzin. 2.5SBS and 3.5SBS also showed better overall quality characteristics.

The highly water-soluble monomethoxypoly(ethyleneglycol) (mPEG) prod rugs of cyciosporin A(CsA) were synthesized. These prod rugs were prepared by initially preparing intermediate in the form of carbonate at the 3'-positions of CsA with chloromethyl chloroformate, in the pres-ence of a base to provide a 3'-carbonated CsA intermediate. Reaction of the CsA intermediate with mPEG derivative in the presence of a base provides the desired water-soluble prod rugs. As a model, we chose molecular weight 5 kDa mPEG in the reaction with CsA to give water soluble prodrugs. To prove that the prod rug is decomposed in the body to produce CsA, the enzymatic hydrolysis test was conducted using human liver homogenate at $37^{\circ}C$. The prodrug was decomposed in human liver homogenate to produce the active material, CsA, and the hydrolysis half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of the prodrug, KI-306 was 2.2 minutes at $37^{\circ}C$. However, a demon-stration of non-enzymatic conversion in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer was provided by the fact that the half-life ($t_{1/2}$) is 21 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$. The hydrolysis test in rat whole blood was also conducted. The hydrolysis was seen with half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of about 9.9, 65.0, 14.2, 3.4, 2.1 9.5, and 1.6 minutes for KI-306, 309, 312, 313, 315, 316, and 317, respectively. This is the ideal for CsA prodrug. The pharmacokinetic study of the prodrug, KI-306, in comparison to the commer-cial product (Sandimmune Neoral Solution) was also carried out after single oral dose. Each rat received 7 mg／kg of CsA equivalent dose. Especially, the prodrug KI-306 exhibits higher AUC and $C_{max}$ than the conventional Neoral. The AUC and $C_{max}$ were increased nearly 1.5 fold. The kinetic value was also seen with $T_{max}$ of about 1.43 and 2.44 hours for KI-306 and Neoral, respectively.

Background: Primary bone neoplasms are rare, contributing only 0.2% of the global burden of all human malignancies. Osteosarcoma (OS) and chondrosarcoma (CS) are the most common malignancies of bone. The giant cell tumor of bone (GCTb) is a benign tumor with behavior characterized by osteolytic bone destruction. The OS, CS and GCTb affect both sexes, all races and generally have incidence peaks regarding the age of the patient which vary according to the tumor type. We analyzed the incidences of OS, CS and GCTb and their relations with gender and age in patients treated in the National Rehabilitation Institute (INR, for its acronym in Spanish) over a period of nine years. Materials and Methods: In the study period, clinic pathological data for 384 patients were obtained with clinical, radiological and histopathological diagnosis for OS, GCTb and CS. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: From 2006 to 2014 were recorded 384 cases of bone malignancies in the database of INR. The GCTb had the highest incidence (53.1%), followed by OS (31.3%) and finally the CS (15.6%). The overall average age was $33.6{\pm}15.8$ years and the overall frequency of gender had a ratio of 1/1.03 male/female. The states with the highest incidence were Distrito Federal and Estado de Mexico with 29.2% and 25.3% respectively. Malignant neoplasms of bone assessed in the course of nine years show three significant increases in 2008, 2011 and 2014 (p=0.14). We found association between sex and tumor type (p=0.03), GCTb and CS predominated in females (54.9% and 56.6% respectively), while for the OS males were most affected (59.1%). Age was different in relation with tumor type (p=0.0001), average age was $24.3{\pm}11.2$ years for OS, $34.5{\pm}13$ years for GCTb and $49.2{\pm}18.5$ years for CS. Furthermore, associations of tumor type with topographic location of the primary tumor (P=0.0001) were found. Conclusions: In this study we can see that incidence of musculoskeletal tumor in our population is continuously increasing and in nine years an approximately 200% increase of musculoskeletal tumor cases was observed.

세슘은 물속에서 고상보다는 이온이나 착염 등 용존 형태로 존재하는 특성이 강하여, 오염 수계로부터 세슘 제거가 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 많은 연구들이 수계 내에서 세슘의 제거효율이 높은 흡착제를 개발하는데 집중하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대나무 활성탄을 흡착제로 사용하여 수계 내에 존재하는 세슘을 효과적으로 제거하는 실내실험을 실시하였다. 수용액으로부터 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율을 측정하고, 최적의 세슘 제거능을 가지는 흡착 조건을 도출하고자 다양한 조건에서 흡착 배치실험을 수행하였다. 국내에서 유통되고 있는 5 종류의 대나무 활성탄의 표면 특성을 SEM-EDS와 XRD 분석으로 규명하였으며, 이 중에서 비표면적이 큰 3 종류의 대나무 활성탄을 대상으로 세슘 제거 배치실험을 실시하였다. 다양한 초기 세슘 농도를 가지는 인공수(0.01~10 mg/L 범위)를 대상으로 대나무 활성탄에 의한 수용액 내 세슘 제거량을 측정하여 제거효율을 계산하였고, 두 종류의 흡착 등온식들을 흡착 배치실험 결과에 대응시켜 흡착 상수값을 결정함으로서, 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 흡착 특성을 규명하였다. FE-SEM 분석 결과, 대나무 활성탄은 표면이 다수의 기공을 포함하는 대나무의 섬유질 조직을 그대로 유지하는 입자들로 구성되어, 이들 섬유질 조직 내 다양한 형태의 기공들과 엽상조직 표면들이 주요 세슘 흡착공간인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 흡착 배치실험 결과, C type 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율이 가장 높았는데, 특히 수용액의 세슘 초기 농도가 1.0 mg/L 이하인 경우에도 75 % 이상(최고 82 %)을 나타내어, 원전사고 등에 의해 오염된 현장 지하수나 지표수(해수 포함)의 세슘농도가 대부분 1.0 mg/L 이하임을 고려하면, 실제 오염수 정화 가능성이 높을 것으로 밝혀졌다. 수용액의 온도는 $5-15^{\circ}C$ 범위, pH는 3-11 범위에서 높은 세슘 제거효율이 일정하게 유지되는 것으로 나타나 다양한 오염수에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 흡착 배치실험 결과는 Langmuir 흡착모델과 유사하였으며, C type 대나무 활성탄의 최대흡착농도($q_m:mg/g$)값은 63.4 mg/g으로 기존의 상용화된 흡착제 값보다 높았고, 수용액의 초기 세슘 농도가 1.0 mg/L이하인 경우 표면흡착률(surface coverage) 값도 낮게 유지되어, 적은 양의 세슘으로 오염된 수계를 효과적으로 정화할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study was to compare and to evaluate the combination use of 5 kinds of dentin adhesive systems and 5 kinds of composite resins using micro-shear bond test. Five adhesive systems (Prime & Bond NT (PBN). Onecoat bond (OC), Excite (EX), Syntac (SY), Clearfil SE bond (CS)) and five composite resins (Spectrum (SP), Synergy Compact (SC), Tetric Ceram (TC), Clearfil AP-X (CA), Z100 (Z1)) were used for this study ($5{\;}{\times}{\;}5{\;}={\;}25group$, n =14/group). The slices of horizontally sectioned human tooth were bonded with each bonding system and each composite resin, and tested by a micro-shear bond strength test. These results were analyzed statistically. The mean micro-shear bond strength of dentin adhesive systems were in order of CS (22.642 MPa), SY (18.368 MPa), EX (14.599 MPa). OC (13.702 MPa). PBN (12.762 MPa). The mean bond strength of self-etching primer system group (CS, SY) in dentin was higher than that of self-priming adhesive system groups (PBN, EX, OC) significantly (P<0.05). The mean bond strength of composite resins was in order of SP (19.008 MPa), CA (17.532 MPa). SC (15.787 MPa), TC (15.068 MPa). Z1 (14.678 MPa). Micro-shear bond strength of SP was stronger than those of other composite resins significantly (P < 0.05). And those of TC and Z1 were weaker than other composite resins significantly (P < 0.05). No difference was found in micro-shear bond strength of composite resin in self-etching primer adhesive system groups (CS, SY) statistically. However, there was significant difference of micro-shear bond strength of composite resin groups in self-priming adhesive systems group (PBN, EX, OC). The combination of composite resin and dentin adhesive system recommended by manufacturer did not represent positive correlation. It didn't seem to be a significant factor.

수중의 Sr과 Cs 이온을 제거하기 위하여 폴리술폰(polysulfone, PS)을 이용한 제올라이트 고정화로서 PS-zeolite 비드를 제조하였다. PS-zeolite는 SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA를 이용하여 특성 및 구조를 분석하였다. PS-zeolite 비드를 제조하기 위한 최적조건은 PS 1.25 g과 제올라이트 A 2 g이었다. 용액 pH의 증가에 따라 PS-zeolite 비드에 의한 Sr과 Cs 이온의 제거효율은 증가하였지만, pH 4 이상에서 일정하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 PS-zeolite 비드는 $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$와 같은 공존이온이 존재하더라도 Sr과 Cs 이온에 대한 높은 선택도를 나타내었다. 또한, 흡착과정에서 PS-zeolite 비드로부터 제올라이트 입자가 탈리되지 않았으며, PS-zeolite 비드는 SEM 이미지 상에서 구조가 유지되었다. PS-zeolite 비드에 의한 Sr과 Cs의 제거효율은 5회 흡착-탈착 실험을 반복하여도 90% 이상 유지되었다. 본 연구에서는 이 결과로서 PS-zeolite 비드가 Sr과 Cs 이온의 흡착제로서 적용가능하다 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, PS-zeolite는 산업폐수처리를 위한 방사성 이온 제거용 흡착제로서도 적용이 가능할 것이다.

토끼의 25분간의 척수허혈 모델에서 cyclosporin A의 신경보호효과를 신경병리학적 연관성과 면역조직화학적분석을 통하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 몸무게가 3.0 kg 전후의 뉴질랜드산 토끼를 이용하였고 복부 대동맥을 25분간 차단하였다. 32마리의 토끼를 무작위로 4군으로 나누어 대조군인 12군(n=8)과 17군(n=8)은 복부 대동맥 차단만 시행한 후 12군은 2일째, 17군은 7일째 희생시켜 신경학적 평가와 조직학적 검사를 시행하였다. 실험군인 Cs2군(n=8)과 Cs7군(n=8)은 복부 대동맥을 차단 후 재관류 15분 후에 cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg)를 정맥 주입한 후 Cs2군은 2일째, Cs7군은 7일째 희생시켜 신경학적 평가와 조직학적 검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 모든 토끼가 술 후 생존하였으며 술 후 2일째 신경학적 평가에 있어서는 군들 간 차이가 얼었으나 술 후 7일째 시행한 평가에서 복부대동맥 허혈 후 cyclosporin A를 투여한 Cs7군의 Tarlov score가 평균 $2.75{\pm}0.89$로 투여하지 않은 17군의 $1.25{\pm}1.39$에 비해 의미 있게 높아 신경학적 평가상 덜 손상을 받았음을 알 수 있었다(p<0.05). 또한 대조군 17군에서는 신경학적 평가가 2일째보다 7일째 악화하는 경향이었으나 통계학적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었고 실험군 Cs7군에 있어서는 신경학적 평가가 2일째 $1.87{\pm}0.83$에 비해 7일째 $2.75{\pm}0.89$로 의미 있게 호전되었다(p<0.05). 모든 군을 조직학적으로 손상의 정도에 따라 등급을 매겼으며 신경학적 평가와의 상관관계를 분석하였는데 상관계수 -0.44로 조직학적 손상정도와 신경학적 평가사이에 유의한 관계가 있었다(p=0.009). 병리조직학적 등급을 4군 간 비교하였을 때 2일째 희생시킨 대조군과 실험군 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 7일째 희생시킨 17군은 조직학적 등급이 $2.13{\pm}1.36$이었으나 Cs7군은 $1.0{\pm}0.53$으로 두 군 간 유의한 차이가 있어 병리학적으로도 cyclosporin A를 투여한 실험군 Cs7군이 대조군 17군에 비해 덜 손상을 받았음을 알 수 있었다(p=0.039). 12군과 Cs2군에서 TUNEL 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 신경세포의 수는 12군이 $17.5{\pm}22.6$개였고 Cs2군이 $12.5{\pm}11.1$개로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. Heat shock protein-70 (HSP70)과 neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)에 대한 면역조직화학검사에서 실험군 Cs2군의 신경세포가 대조군 12군에 비해 HSP70과 nNOS의 과발현을 보였으며, 이는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). nNOS와 HSP70의 발현은 강한 연관성을 보였고(상관계수 0.91, p=0.000), nNOS를 발현하는 세포가 동시에 HSP70도 발현함을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 우리는 cyclosporin A가 토끼의 25분간의 척수허혈에 대해 척수보호 효과가 있었으며 이는 HSP70의 과발현과 연관이 있으리라 생각한다.

In this study, we investigated the anti-proliferative effect of polysaccharides from Salicornia herbacea on HT-29 human colon cancer cells. Crude polysaccharides from S. herbacea (CS) were prepared by extraction with hot steam water, and fine polysaccharides from S. herbacea (PS) were obtained through further size exclusion chromatography. The anti-proliferative effect of CS and PS were measured using the MTS assay, apoptosis analysis, cell cycle analysis, and RT-PCR. HT-29 cells were treated with CS or PS at different dosages (0.5, 1, 2, 4 mg $ml^{-1}$) for 24 or 48 h. CS and PS inhibited proliferation and stimulated apoptosis of cells in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometric analysis after Annexin V-FITC and PI staining revealed that treatment with CS or PS increased total apoptotic death of cells to 24.99% or 91.59%, respectively, in comparison with the control (13.51 %). PS increased early apoptotic death substantially - up to 12 times more than the control. Treatment with CS or PS resulted in a concentration-dependent increase of the G2/M cell population of the cell cycle as determined by flow cytometry. G2/M arrest was induced significantly with the highest concentration (4 mg $ml^{-1}$) of PS. RT-PCR was performed to study the correlation between G2/M arrest and transcription of cell cycle control genes. The anti-proliferative activity of CS and PS was accompanied by inhibition of cyclin B1, and Cdc 2 mRNA. Moreover, both CS and PS induced expression of the p53 tumor suppressor gene and the Cdk inhibitor p21. These results suggest that polysaccharides from S. herbacea have anti-cancer activity in human colon cancer cells.
