항암 화학요법제의 항암작용을 증가시키거나, 부작용을 감소시켜 항암 치료를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 항암치료 보조제(modulator)에 대한 개발의 일환으로 녹차 추출물의 이용가능성을 추정하기 위하여 사람 폐암 세포주인 A549 세포를 배양하여 시스플라틴과 독소루비신의 항암성에 미치는 녹차 추출물과 EGCG의 영향을 비교 관찰하였다. A549 세포에 독성을 나타나는 농도는 녹차 추출물 $400\;{\mu}g$/mL, EGCG $300\;{\mu}g$/mL, 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 및 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL로, 녹차 추출물이 세포독성을 나타내는 농도는 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신에 비하면 낮았다. A549 세포에서 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 시스플라틴 $6\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 시스플라틴의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 독소루비신 $4\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 독소루비신의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 녹차추출물 투여 후 p53 및 caspase 3에 대한 Western blot을 시행한 결과 p53및 caspase-3의 유전자 발현이 증가되었다. 이상의 실험결과 녹차추출물은 광범위 항암제 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신의 세포독성을 증강시키는 효과가 있고, 녹차추출물에 의한 p53이나 caspase-3 등과 같은 세포자살유도 단백질의 발현 증가는 녹차추출물에 의한 세포독성 증강효과와 연관이 있을 것으로 추측된다. 녹차추출물의 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신 세포독성 증강효과는 항암화학요법제의 용량을 늘리지 않고 항암력을 증대시킬 수 있기 때문에 항암화학요법 보조제로서 이용될 수 있는 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 효과를 규명하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we examined the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization of porcine immature oocytes on the embryo development of blastocysts or hatched blastocysts and the number of cells according to the in vitro fertilization conditions. In the in vitro fertilization of in vitro matured porcine oocytes, there were no significant differences between treatment groups regarding fertilization rate, blastocyst rate, and embryo development of hatched blastocysts according to the storage periods of liquid sperm of 24, 48, and 72 hours. The embryo development rate of hatched blastocysts after the fertilization according to different spermatozoa concentrations ($0.4{\times}10^5$, $1.2{\times}10^5$, and $3.6{\times}10^5$ cells/ml) showed the highest rate in the group with a spermatozoa concentration of $1.2{\times}10^5$ cells/ml; in particular, this rate was significantly higher than that in the $0.4{\times}10^5$ cells/ml group (p<0.05). The total number of blastocysts cells as well as trophectoderms (TE) that developed in each treatment group were also significantly higher in the $1.2{\times}10^5$ cells/ml group than in any other groups (p<0.05). In contrast, the embryo development rate of blastocysts according to different co-incubation periods of sperm and oocyte (1, 3, and 6 hr) was high in the 6-hour group; in particular, the rate was significantly higher than that of the I-hour group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the total number of oocytes cells and TEs that developed was significantly higher in the 6-hour group than any other group (p<0.05). In this study, the most effective treatment conditions for porcine embryo development and high cell number were found to be as follows: a sperm storage period of less than 72 hours, a spermatozoa concentration of $1.2{\times}10^5$ cells/ml, and a 6-hour co-incubation period for sperm and ooocyte.

The purpose of this study was pertinent design of the framework of the fixed bone anchored bridge using implants in the edentulous mandible through analysis of stress distribution by the three dimensional finite element analysis method. The results were as follows: 1. The L-shaped framework was favorable in restoring the edentulous mandible by implants and fixed bone anchored bridge. 2. The structure of the framework should be designed to endure the occlusal load because of stress concentration at the most distal abutment of the framework. 3. The stress at the distal implant where cantilever starts was twice as much as that of other portions. 4. Compressive stress was generated on the framework of the mesial side of the distal implant and extrusive force was induced to the mesially positioned implants. 5. The height of vertical plate was high as possible as can be to distribute stresses concentrating bucco-lingually and labio-lingually in the framework between abutments, 6. Reinforcement of the horizontal plate thickness was needed because stress was loaded more on the horizontal plate than on the vertical plate of the framework. 7. Lengthening of the vertical plate can compensate for any limitations in horizontal plate width.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-adipogenic activities of Ligularia stenocephala (L. stenocephala) extract. The contents of the total polyphenol of the extract was 55.950 mg GAE/g residue. Antioxidant activities of L. stenocephala were evaluated by free radical scavenging ability and a reducing power test. 2,2'azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and ${\alpha}$-${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities of the extract were approximately 90% and 70%, respectively. Reducing power of the extract was 258.833 mg TE/g residue. The anti-adipogenic activity of L. stenocephala extract was examined in 3T3-L1 cells. During adipocyte differentiation, the 3T3-L1 cells were treated both with and without the extract. L. stenocephala extract suppressed the lipid accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner in the 3T3-L1 cells. The L. stenocephala extract inhibited the expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and adipocyte protein 2 (aP2) proteins, compared with control adipocytes. These results indicate that L. stenocephala could be regarded as a potential source natural antioxidant and an anti-obesity agent.

Human growth hormone (hGH), one of the most important hormones in medicine, is secreted from anterior pituitary gland. Its broad physiological function includes body growth, cell regeneration, increasement of muscle volume, bone density, body fat reduction, and so on. Due to the wide range of therapeutic effects, the hGH produced from E. coli has been commercialized already. In this study, we asked whether it is possible to produce recombinant hGH efficiently from various cultured mammalia cells. To meet this purpose, we chose a retrovirus vector system for transfer and expression of the hGH gene in various mammalian cells. Analyses of RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot to determine expression of the hGH gene showed the highest production of the hGH was determined from chicken embronic fibroblast (CEF) cells with the concentration of 8.58 ${\mu}g$/ml. The biological activity of the hGH was similar to the commercially available counterpart. These results suggest that mass production of hGH is possible not only in the E. coli but also in the various mammalian cells.
