Polypeptide growth factors belong to a class of potent biologic mediators which regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and metabolism. IGF-I is polypeptides secreted by skeletal cells and is considered as regulators of bone formation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of IGF-I on bone nodule formation and alkaline phosphatase activity of MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded at $1{\times}10^4$ cells/well, $1{\times}10^5$ cells/well in alpha-modified Eagle medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 mM ${\beta}-glycerophosphate$ and $5O{\mu}g/ml$ of ascorbic acid. Before 48 hours of indicated time, medium were changed with serum free medium. After 24 hours, 0.1, 1, 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells and cultured for 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 days. And histochemical analysis was done and ALP activity was measured and was expressed as nmol/min/mg of protein. The bone nodule formation in MC3T3-E1 cells of IGF-I was seen at 21, 28 days, but there were no difference between control group and experimental groups. The ALP activity decreased when it is compare to control 2 group except for 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml IGF-I of 21-day-groups and 1 ng/ml IGF-I of 28-day-groups. Dose response effects of IGF-I of ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells were seen the highest ALP activity at 1ng/ml until 21days and the highest ALP activity at 10 ng/ml of 28 daygroups. The peak times were seen at 7-day group, 14-day group on control group and experimental group respectively, and 1 ng/ml group was the highest ALP activity, From the above results, IGF-I was not seen notable effect on bone nodule formation and decreased ALP activity of MC3T3-E1 cells but the use of IGF-I to mediate biological stimulation of MC3T3-E1 cells shows promise for future therapeutic application.

납에 의한 노출에 대한 평가에는 주로 전혈 중 납을 사용하고 있으나 전혈 중 납은 납의 단기 노출에 대한 정보만을 제공한다는 단점이 있다. 납 노출의 만성적 노출지표인 혈장 중 납을 분석하기 위해서는 수 ng/L의 극미량 분석이 요구되어 납의 만성지표로서의 효용성 검증에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 납 노출 근로자의 만성 노출 지표로서 혈장 중 납을 분석하기 위하여 유도결합플라즈마 질량분석법을 정립하였다. 외부환경으로부터의 오염을 최소화시키기 위해 class 1,000 수준의 청정실을 설치한 후 가동 전과 후의 부유 분진량을 확인한 후 극미량 시료 분석을 수행하였다. 표준 우태아 혈청을 이용하여 표준물 첨가법에 의한 표준편차를 이용하여 계산한 최소검출한계는 4.3 ng/L, 최소정량한계는 12.2 ng/L이었으며, 신호-대-잡음 비로 계산한 최소검출한계는 7.0 ng/L, 최소정량한계는 22.1 ng/L이었다. 20 ng/L부터 2,000 ng/L 농도 범위에서 정밀도는 4% 이내였으며, 우태아 혈청에 20-2,000 ng/L의 농도로 첨가하여 계산한 회수율은 92.3-101.3%로 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 사용하여 납 노출근로자의 혈장 및 혈청 중 납 분석이 가능하였으며 이를 통해 납의 만성노출에 대한 조사가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The present study investigated the efficient methods to produce in vitro Hanwoo embryos, and to improve the pregnancy rate. The developmental rate, total cell number and ICM ratio of in vitro embryos were compared amongst different culture media. Comparisons were also made on the status of recipients, pregnancy rate along with day of transfer after the estrus. Development of embryos into blastocyst stage in IVMD101 supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) group was significantly higher (34.2%) than that of TCM-199 supplemented with 5% FBS (26.8%) and IVMD101 without FBS (25.9%) (p<0.05). The development rate to blastocyst stage was significantly faster in IVMD101(5% FBS) than that of other groups ($0.2{\sim}2.3%$) (p<0.05). The average number of inner cell mass and trophectoderm were similar among treatment groups, which were $36.0{\sim}44.7$ and $83.3{\sim}106.7$. However, total cell number in IVMD101(5% FBS and 0% FBS) was significantly higher than that of TCM199(5% FBS). There were no differences in the pregnancy rate among treatment groups (32.0%, 33.9% and 28.6%, respectively). However, the pregnancy rate of Day 6 embryos cultured in IVMD101(5% FBS) was significantly (p<0.01) higher than IVMD101 without FBS and TCM-199 + 5% FBS (38.0% vs. 17.2% and 32.4%, respectively). No significant difference was observed for the pregnancy rate between heifer and cow transferred with Day 6 embryos cultured in IVMD 101(5% FBS) (42.7% and 39.3%, respectively). However, there was a significant difference of pregnancy rate (p<0.05) in heifer between one and two embryos transferred (31.4% and 41.9%). There was no difference of pregnancy rate among transfer days after estrus between heifer and cow, but the pregnancy rate of transfer to heifer with day 6 after estrus was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of day 7 and 8 (22.2% vs. 49.0% and 38.7% respectively). Based on the above findings, there is a possibility to produce in vitro produced embryos cultured in IVMD101(5% FBS) showed higher blastocyst rate and the increased cell number. In terms of the pregnancy rate of in vitro produced embryos, the highest pregnancy rate was observed when two embryos were cultured in IVMD101(5% FBS) and transferred.

본 연구는 마우스 정자-난자 결합분석 법(oocytes-sperm binding assay; OSBA)을 이용하여 단백질원, 배양액의 질, 난자의 성숙도에 따라서 정자와 난자의 결합능력을 알아보고 그 유용성을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 4~5주령의 hybrid(C57BL/6 $\times$ CBA/N) F$_1$ 암컷에서 회수된 미수정란에 0.1% hyaluronidase를 이용하여 난구세포를 제거하였으며, 제1극체의 존재유무에 따라 Met. II(mature)와 Met. I(intermediate mature)로 구분하였다. 암컷과 동일 계통의 8주령 이상 된 수컷에서 회수된 정소상체 미부정자를 37$^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 배양하였다. 배양된 정자부유액은 단백원 무첨가배양액과 1:5로 희석하여 10분간 배양한 다음 3 ${\mu}\ell$를 10$\pm$2개의 난자를 들어있는 배양액 소적(30 ${\mu}\ell$)에 넣어서 정자와 난자의 결합을 유도하였다. 정자 주입 후 3시간 혹은 24시간째에 난자를 뽑아내어 세척하였으며, 도립현미경(100$\times$)에서 난자에 부착된 정자의 수를 세었다. 수정란을 이용한 정도관리를 위하여 과배란이 유도된 암컷은 수컷과 합사시켰으며, hCG 주사 16~18시간째에 전핵기의 1세포 수정란을 회수하였다. 단백질원의 종류에 대한 효과를 확인하기 위하여 OSBA를 실시한 결과, 수정 3시간째에 난자당 하나 이상의 정자가 부착된 난자의 비율은 BSA첨가군, 무첨가군, FBS 첨가군의 순으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(100% vs. 60.2% vs. 2.1%). 한편, BSA 첨가군에서 정자의 결합능력이 우수하였으나 FBS는 매우 유해하였으며 FBS의 농도가 5%까지는 증가함에 따라 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 따라서 투명대에 정자가 부착에 있어서 단백원이 매우 중요한 역할을 하며, OSBA는 정자와 난자의 결합에 결정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 배양조건을 명확히 판별할 수 있음을 시사하였다. Met. II(mature)와 Met. I(intermediate mature) 난자를 단백원 무첨가, 15% FBS, 0.4% BSA 및 10% AF(양수)가 첨가된 Ham's F-10 배양액에서 OSBA를 실시한 결과, 난자의 성숙도에 상관없이 정자의 결합능력은 비슷한 양상을 보였으며, BSA첨가군, 양수첨가군, 무첨가군, FBS첨가군 순으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 OSBA에서 Met. II 난자 대신에 Met. I난자를 이용해도 비슷한 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 시사한다. 생쥐 1세포기배에서 배반포까지의 배발달율을 기준으로 Ham's F-10배양액을 평가하여 일련번호 151은 불량(poor), 152는 양호(good)로 판정한 다음, 동일한 배양액에 OSBA를 실시한 결과 생쥐 1세포기배의 결과와 마찬가지로 일련번호 152 배양액이 151 배양액보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 OSBA는 기존의 정도관리 방법과 동일한 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 결론적으로, OSBA는 배양액 조건에 따라 정자의 결합능력이 다르다는 것을 보여주었으며, 정토관리 방법으로서의 유용성을 확인시켜 주었다. 또한 쉽게 준비할 수 있는 생쥐의 난자와 정자를 이용하였으며, 배양시간이 3시간으로 짧고, 평가방법이 간편해 시간적, 경제적으로도 효율성이 높다고 사료된다.

Purpose: The periosteum is a well-known source of osteogenic precursor cells for tissue-engineered bone formation. However, cultured endothelial or endothelial-like cells derived from periosteum have not yet been investigated. This study focused on endothelial-like cell culture from the periosteum. Methods: Periosteal tissues were harvested from the mandible during surgical extraction of lower impacted third molars. The tissues were treated with 0.075% type I collagenase in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 1 hr at $37^{\circ}C$ to release cellular fractions. The collagenase was inactivated with an equal volume of DMEM/10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and the infranatant was centrifuged for 10 min at 2,400 rpm. The cellular pellet was filtered through a $100{\mu}m$ nylon cell strainer, and the filtered cells were centrifuged for 10 min at 2,400 rpm. The resuspended cells were plated into T25 flasks and cultured in endothelial cell basal medium (EBM)-2. Results: Among the hematopoietic markers, CD146 was more highly expressed than CD31 and CD34. The periosteal-derived cells also expressed CD90 and CD166, mesenchymal stem cell markers. Considering that the expression of CD146 was constant and that the expression of CD90 was lower at passage 5, respectively, the CD146 positive cells in passage 5 were isolated using the magnetic cell sorting (MACS) system. These CD146 sorted, periosteal-derived cells formed tube-like structures on Matrigel. The uptake of acetylated, low-density lipoprotein, labeled with 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI-Ac-LDL) was also examined in these cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that the CD146-sorted positive cells can be referred to as periosteal-derived CD146 positive endothelial-like cells. In particular, when a co-culture system with endothelial and osteoblastic cells in a three-dimensional scaffold is used, the use of periosteum as a single cell source would be strongly beneficial for bone tissue engineering.

Objectives: This study evaluated the virucidal efficacy against avian influenza virus (AIV) of a disinfectant spray containing 0.25% grapefruit seed extract, 0.2% citric acid, 0.0625% malic acid and 0.0125% benzalkonium chloride. Methods: The disinfectant spray was diluted several times with hard water (HW) and organic matter (OM). Two point five mL of each diluent was added into each test tube, and 2.5 mL of AIV suspension was inserted into each test tube. After 30 minutes of virus-disinfectant contact reaction at $4^{\circ}C$, 2.5 mL of 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum was added into each test tube to neutralize the sanitizer efficacy. The neutralized solutions were serial 10-fold dilutions with phosphate buffer solution, and 0.2 mL of the diluents was injected into the allantoic cavity of five ten-day-old-chickens per dilution time. After incubation of the embryos for five days, the viability of the AIV was examined by hemagglutination titer. The valid dilution of the disinfectant spray was estimated according to the dilution time that the virus titer was inactivated more than $10^4$ 50% egg-infective dose (EID50)/mL compared with pathogen control. Results: In HW and OM conditions, the valid dilutions of the disinfectant spray against AIV were seven- and three-fold dilutions, respectively. The AIV titer of the pathogen control was more than 6.1 log10EID50/mL, and there was no embryonic toxicity. Conclusion: The present study showed that this disinfectant spray has effective virucidal activity against AIV.

Purpose : We performed the present study to investigate whether osteotropic hormomes play roles on the nitric oxide (NO) production in culture of ROS 17/12.8 osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods : The osteoblastic cell line ROS17/2.8 cells were cultured In F12 medium supplemented with $5\%$ fetal bovine serum (FBS) at $37^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of $5\%\;CO_2$ in air. ROS17/2.8 cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of $2-3\times10^3cells/well$ and grown to confluence. Then the cells were pretreated with osteotropic hormones (parathyroid hormone (PTH) 20-500 ng/mL, 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol $(1,\;25[OH]_2D_3)$ 1-100 nM; prostaglandin $E_2 (PGE_2)$ 20-500 ng/mL in the medium supplemented with $0.4\%$ FBS for 72 hours and the cells were treated with cytokines $(TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma})$ in phenol red-free F12 medium for an additional 48 hours. NO synthesis was assessed by measuring the nitrite anion concentration, the reaction product of NO, in the cell culture medium using Griess reagent. Results : PTH and $1,\;25[OH]_2D_3$ pretreatment induced a significant increase in NO production in the presence of $TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma}.\;PGE_2$ slightly induced NO production compared to the control group. But, $PGE_2$ pretreatment did not affect in NO production in the presence of $TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma}$. Conclusions : These results suggest that the actions of osteotropic hormones In bone metabolism may be partially mediated by NO in the presence of cytokines.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of fibroblast co-culture on in vitro maturation (IVM) of prepubertal mouse preantral follicles. The intact preantral follicles were obtained from the ovaries of 12-14 day old mice and these were cultured individually in ${\alpha}$-minimal essential medium (${\alpha}$-MEM) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), $100mIU/m{\ell}$ recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH), 1% insulin-transferrin-selenium, $100{\mu}g/ml$ penicillin and $50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ streptomycin as base medium for 12 days. A total of 200 follicles were cultured in base medium co-cultured with mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) (MEF group) (n=100) or only base medium as control group (n=100). Survival rate of follicles on day 12 of culture were significantly higher in the MEF group of 90.0%, compared with 77.0% of the control group (p=0.021). Follicle diameters on day 6 and 8 of the culture period were significantly larger in the MEF group than those in the control group (p=0.021, p=0.007, respectively). Estradiol levels in culture media on day 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 of the culture period were significantly higher in the MEF group (p=0.043, p=0.021, p=0.006, p<0.001 and p=0.008, retrospectively). Our data suggest that MEF cell co-culture on IVM of mouse preantral follicle increases survival rate and promotes follicular growth and steroid production.

To investigate the possible mechanism of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ as a candidate of anti-cancer drug, I examined the effects of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ on the apoptosis of U937 cells MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR were performed. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment reduced the cell viablilty of U937 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment also reduced the levels of Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic protein expression and increased the levels of caspase-3, p53, pro-apoptotic protein, in U937 cells. After treatment the level of Bcl-xL, anti-apoptotic gene expression was decreased and the level of ICE pro-apoptotic gene expression was increased. These findings suggest that ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ induced the apoptotic cell death via regulation of several growth regulatory gene products.
