본 연구의 김치시료는 절인 배추를 수세하여 초산 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%의 수용액에서 10분간 침지 후 건져서 김치를 제조하였다. 김치발효중 배추를 중륵과 엽신별로 그 숙성도변화를 관찰하고, 초산첨가 농도에 따른 영향을 알아 보았다. 또한 김치숙성도 판정을 위한 여러방법(pH, 총산도, 휘발성산도, ascorbic acid함량, resazurin test value, pH/acidity ratio)간의 상관성을 검토하였다. 중륵과 엽신의 숙성도는 pH와 산도를 기준으로 관찰할 때 중륵이 엽신보다 숙성이 빠른 경향으로 나타났으며, 적숙기이후에는 별 차이가 없었다. 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 배추김치의 발효중 대조구와 초산전처리구의 특징에 따른 차이는 별로 나타나지 않았다. 초산전처리한 김치는 pH와 총산도를 기준으로 볼 때 대조구에 비하여 김치의 숙성을 앞당기는 경향이었으며, 0.01% 초산전처리구만이 김치의 가식기간을 연장하는 듯 하였다. 이러한 결과는 Ascorbic acid 함량이 비교적 높게 유지된 것으로도 확인할 수 있었다. 휘발성산도는 초산전처리농도가 높을수록 높게 나타났으며, ascorbic acid 함량은 엽신보다 중륵에서 높은 값을 보였고, 초산전처리농도가 높을수록 낮아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 본 실험의 적숙기인 발효 제 3~6일의 pH는 4.6~4.4, 총산도는 0.4~0.5%, ascorbic acid함량은 7.5~11.5 mg%, RV는 4.5~5.0 그리고 pH/acidity ratio는 9~10을 나타냈다. 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 발효시킨 김치의 중륵과 엽신의 RV, 휘발 성산도, ascorbic-acid함량 그리고 pH/acidity ratio는 pH, 총산도와 상관성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

We previously reported that the novel isoflavone-free peptide mixture (black soybean peptide, BSP) had several beneficial effects like antiobesity and hypotriglyceridemic effect. However, there are no reports for BSP on anti-hypertensive activity. BSP induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in HUVECs, thus investigated the HO-1-induced activity in HUVECs and the anti-hypertensive effects in SHR animal model. BSP significantly induced HO-1 expression both at transcriptional and protein levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner as measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. These inductions were abolished by pretreatment of N-acetyl-cystein (NAC, 1~10 mM), but not by employing Tempol, a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic (1~5 mM). As expected, enzymatic activity (~2 fold) determined by bilirubin formation assay and cGMP concentration (~6 fold) were significantly increased in BSP-treated cells. Based on the numerous evidences on the beneficial effects of HO-1 and our results, we investigated in vivo effects of BSP on the antihypertensive activity. The administration of BSP (1% in drinking water) significantly decreased mean blood pressure (BP) (from $218.6{\pm}6.99$ to $190.0{\pm}3.42$ mm Hg, p<0.01). This result indicates that BSP is strong inducer of HO-1 expression, which may be triggered by oxidative stress, and has anti-hypertensive activity.

Background: Gall bladder cancer (GBC) usually presents as unresectable or metastatic disease. We conducted a feasibility study to evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) on radiologic downstaging and resectability in unresectable GBC cases. Materials and Methods: Patients with locally advanced disease were treated with chemoradiotherapy [CTRT] ( external radiotherapy (45Gy) along with weekly concurrent cisplatin $35mg/m^2$ and 5-FU 500 mg) and those with positive paraaortic nodes were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy [NACT (cisplatin $25mg/m^2$ and gemcitabine $1gm/m^2$ day 1 and 8, 3 weekly for 3 cycles). Radiological assessment was according to RECIST criteria by evaluating downstaging of liver involvement and lymphadenopathy into complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD). Results: A total of 40 patients were evaluated from January 2012 to December 2014 (CTRT=25, NACT=15). Pretreatment CT scans revealed involvement of hilum (19), liver infiltration (38), duodenum involvement (n=22), colon involvement (n=11), N1 involvement (n=11), N2 disease (n=8), paraaortic LN (n=15), and no lymphadenopathy (n=6). After neoadjuvant therapy, liver involvement showed CR in 11(30%), PR in 4 (10.5%), SD in 15 (39.4%) and lymph node involvement showed CR in 17 (50%), PR in 6 (17.6%), SD in 4 (11.7 %). Six patients (CTRT=2, NACT=4) with 66.6 % and 83% downstaging of liver and lymphnodes respectively underwent extended cholecystectomy. There was 16.6 % and 83.3% rates of histopathological CR of liver and lymph nodes. All resections were R0. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant therapy in unresectable gall bladder cancer results in a 15% resectability rate. This approach has a strong potential in achieving R0 and node negative disease. Radiologic downstaging (CR+PR) of liver involvement is 40.5% and lymphadenopathy is 67.5%. Nodal regression could serve as a predictor of response to neoadjuvant therapy.

Objectives : Oxidative stress due to excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the risk factors for the development of several chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. Methods : In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of cheongnoemyeongsin-hwan (CNMSH) against oxidative stress‑induced cellular damage and elucidated the underlying mechanisms in neuronal-derived SH-SY5Y cells. Results : Our results revealed that treatment with CNMSH prior to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure significantly increased the SH-SY5Y cell viability, indicating that the exposure of the SH-SY5Y cells to CNMSH conferred a protective effect against oxidative stress. CNMSH also effectively attenuated H2O2‑induced comet tail formation, and decreased the phosphorylation levels of the histone ${\gamma}H2AX$, as well as the number of apoptotic bodies and Annexin V‑positive cells. In addition, CNMSH exhibited scavenging activity against intracellular ROS generation and restored the mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) loss that were induced by H2O2, suggesting that CNMSH prevents H2O2‑induced DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Moreover, H2O2 enhanced the cleavage of caspase-3 and degradation of poly (ADP-ribose)-polymerase, a typical substrate protein of activated caspase-3, as well as DNA fragmentation; however, these events were almost totally reversed by pretreatment with CNMSH. Furthermore, CNMSH increased the levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which is a potent antioxidant enzyme, associated with the induction of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). According to our data, CNMSH is able to protect SH-SY5Y cells from H2O2-induced apoptosis throughout blocking cellular damage related to oxidative stress through a mechanism that would affect ROS elimination and activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Conclusions : Therefore, we believed that CNMSH may potentially serve as an agent for the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress.

The effects of changes in extracellular $Na^+\;and\;Ca^+$ concentration on the membrane potential and contractility were studied in the antral circular muscle of guinea pig stomach in order to elucidate the existence and the nature of $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange mechanism. All experiments were performed in tris buffered Tyrode solution which was aerated with 100% $O_2$ and kept at $35^{\circ}C.$ The treatment of $10^{-5}$ ouabain was performed to induce intracellular $Na^+$ loading prior to the start of experiment. The results were as follows: 1. $Na^+$-free Tyrode or high $Ca^{2+}$-Tyrode solution hyperpolarized the membrane potential and induced contracture. The time course of contracture was similar to that of change in membrane potential. 2. The degree of hyperpolarization and the amplitude of contracture decreased in accordance with the increase of extracellular $Na^+$ concentration. 3. $Na^+$-free contracture was developed even after blocking the influence of intrinsic nerves by the pretreatment with atropine, guanethidine and TTX. 4. $Ca^{2+}$-channel blockers(D-600 or $Mn^{2+}$) and the blocker of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum(ryanodine) did not suppress the development of $Na^+$-free contracture. And also, dinitrophenol had no effect on $Na^+$-free contracture. 5. Dose-response relationship between extracellular $Na^+$ concentrations and the magnitude of contractures showed a sigmoid pattern. The slope of straight line from Hill plot was 2.7. 6. In parallel with the increase of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration, the amplitude of contracture increased dose dependently and was maximum at 8 mM $Ca^{2+}$-Tyrode solution. 7. The relationship between extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations and the magnitude of contractures showed hyperbolic pattern. The slope of straight line from Hill plot was 1.1. From the above results, it is suggested that $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange mechanism exists in the antral circular muscle of guinea pig stomach and this mechanism affects the membrane potential electrogenically.

새앙쥐 강제수영 실험에서 부동자세 시간의 단축은 향주도성 행동의 항진이라는 본능적 충동의 유발이라는 가정 아래 중추 noradrenaline neuron에 있어서 ${\alpha}_1$- 및 ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor의 역할과 관련지어 이 실험을 행하였고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 새앙쥐를 이용한 강제수영 실험에서 부동자세 시간은 clonidine 및 guanabenz 등과 같은 ${\alpha}_2$-agonists에 의하여 용량에 의존하여 단축되었다. B-HT 933 및 oxymetazoline은 용량에 의존하지 않으나 단축시켰다. xylazine에의하여는 오히려 증가되었다. 2.${\alpha}_1$-Agonists 인 cirazoline, amidephrine 및 methoxamine은 부동자세 시간에 일관성 있는 영향을 미치지 아니하였다. 3. Clonidine과guanabenz에 의한 부동자세 시간의 단축은 ${\alpha}_2$-antagonists, yohimbine, idazoxan 및 phentolamine 전처치로 봉쇄되었으나 ${\alpha}_1$-antagonists, prazosin 및 corynanthine에 의하여는 영향을 받지 아니하였다. 4, d-Amphetamine 투여시 부동자세 시간은 용량에 비례하여 단축되었고, 이러한 단축효과는 yohimbine에 의하여는 길항되었으나 prazosin에 의하여는 영향을 받지 아니하였다. 5. ${\alpha}$-methyl-p-tyrosine 이나 reserpine 또는 두 약물을 동시에 전처치 하였을때 clonidine에 의한 부동자세 시간의 단축은 영향을 받지 아니하였다. 6. Desipramine 및 imipramine 같은 항우울제를 장기처치 또는 장기간 저기충격 요법을 가한 새앙쥐에서도 clonidine의 효과는 영향을 받지 아니하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 새앙쥐의 강제수영 실험에서의 부동자세 시간의 변동은 중추내 noradrenergic neuron의 postsynaptic ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor와 밀접한 관련이 있다고 시사되며 이러한 ${\alpha}_2$-agonists에 의하여 항진되는 escape-directed behavior는 자기보호를 위한 일종의 충동의 유발로 인한 행동으로 사료된다.

Chemotherapy is associated with male infertility. Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloro-platinum (II) (CDDP) as a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of cancers has been reported to most likely induce testicular toxicity. Administration of antioxidants, such as pentoxifylline (PTX) may reduce some Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) of CDDP. Therefore, this study investigated the potentially protective effects of PTX on CDDP-induced testicular toxicity in adult male rats. For this purpose, 42 male rats were randomly divided into 7 groups. The rats were orally pretreated with PTX at the 3 doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg once a day for 14 successive days. On the $14^{th}$ day of the study, they were intraperitoneally (IP) administered with a single dose of CDDP (7 mg/kg). Finally, the sperm/testis parameters, serum levels of reproductive hormones, including testosterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) as the pivotal endocrine factors controlling testicular functions, and histopathological changes of testis tissue were examined. Pretreatment with the two doses of 75 and 150 mg/kg PTX indicated significant increases in the sperm count and motility induced by CDDP administration. The right and significantly left testis weights were decreased following the treatment with 300 mg/kg of PTX plus CDDP. However, 75 mg/kg of PTX plus CDDP showed the best near-to-normal histopathological features. The results demonstrated that PTX alone enhanced some parameters, such as the sperm count, while reducing other parameters, including sperm fast motility and germ layer thickness. Furthermore, despite testosterone or LH levels, the mean serum FSH level was significantly augmented by the doses of 75 and 150 mg/kg. It was concluded that PTX administration cannot reduce CDDP-induced testicular toxicity even at high doses (e.g., 300 mg/kg), while it seemed to partially intensify CDDP toxicity effects at a dose of 75 mg/kg. Thus, further research is required in this regard.
