L-Ascorbic acid (AsA) 생합성이 불가능한 guinea pig을 실험 동물로 하여 collagne 함량이 높은 조직인 폐 및 피부중의 AsA함량과 동일조직중 collagne 함량이 높은 조직인 폐 및 피부중의 AsA 함량과 동일조직중 collagen의 proline잔기의 수산화율을 조사하여 collagne 생합성에 대한 조직중 AsA의 영향에 대해서 알아보았다. Guinea pig(체중 약 250g)를 AsA 무투여군(A), 투여군(B), 300mg/day 투여군(C)으로 나눠 14일간 사육한 후, 마취하에서 개복하여 복부 대동맥으로부터 채혈함과 동시에 간장과 폐를 적출하였으며, 등부위의 피부를 채취하여 분석용 시료로 하였다. 이들 시료로부터 혈청중 alkaline phosphatase (ALP)활성과 각조직중의 AsA 함량, proline 함량 및 그 수산화율, (1-$^{14}$ C) proline 의 incorporation 양을 측정하였다. 그 결과, AsA 토여군인 B, C군의 경우 순조로운 체중증가와 함께 혈청중 ALP활성도 정상값을 나타냈으며 현저한 ALP활성 저하가 관찰되었다. 한편, AsA 함량이 높을수록 (1-14C) proline 의 incorporation 양이 많고 collagne 중의 hydroxyproline 함량도 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 조직중의 collagen합성량과 AsA함량과의 사이에는 높은 상관관계가 존재함이 확인되었다.

본 연구는 혼합상토에 polyacrylamide 고흡수성 수지 Stocksorb C를 혼합할 경우 혼합상토 종류별 화학성에 미치는 영향을 밝히기 위하여 수행하였다. 네종류 혼합상토, 피트모쓰+버미클라이트(PV, 1:1; v/v), 피트모쓰+부숙왕겨(PR, 1:1: v/v), 피트모쓰+부숙톱밥(PS, 1:1; v/v), 그리고 피트모쓰+부숙수피(PB, 1:1; v/v)를 조제하는 과정에서 STSB를 혼합하고 5주 후에 측정한 상토의 pH는 모두 $7.04{\~}7.30$ 범위에 포함되어 너무 높았다. STBS의 혼합량이 많아질수록 전기전도도도 상승하였고, 네 종류 상토에서 처리 간 통계적인 차이와 함께 직선 및 2차곡선회귀가 성립하여 경향을 찾을 수 있었다. STBS의 혼합량이 많아질수록 상토의 $NH_4^+-N,\;NO_3^--N,\;PO_4-P^{3-},\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$ 농도가 높아졌다. 그러나 PS 상토에서는 다른 세 종류 상토에서 보다 상대적인 $NO_3^--N$의 농도가 낮았다. STSB의 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 PV, PR 및 PS 상토에서의 $Fe^{2+}$ 농도가 높아졌으나, PB 상토에서는 경향을 찾을 수 없었다. 또한 PS 상토에서의 $Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$ 및 $Zn^{2+}$ 농도가 다른 세 종류 상토에서 보다 높았다.

Purpose: Negative pressure therapy has been used in various conditions to promote wound healing. It has also been used to secure a skin graft by improving microcirculation and improving tight adhesion between the graft and the recipient bed. To reduce post burn scar contracture and improve aesthetical result, many types of dermal substitutes have been invented and used widely. The goal of this study was evaluate usefulness of the VAC (Kinetic concepts Inc., San Antonio, TX) in improving the take rate and time to incorporation of Integra$^{(R)}$ in reconstruction of burn scar contracture. Methods: A retrospective study was performed from October, 2006 to December, 2008. The VAC was utilized for 11 patients. The average patient's age was 19.7 years (range 5 - 27) and average surface area was $785cm^2$ (range 24 - 1600). The burn scars were excised deep into normal subcutaneous tissue to achieve complete release of the scar, Integra$^{(R)}$ was sutured in place with skin staple와 Steri - strip$^{(R)}$. Then slit incisions were made on silicone sheet only with No.11 blade for effective drainage. The VAC was used as a bolster dressing over Integra$^{(R)}$. Negative - Pressure ranging from 100 to 125 mm Hg was applied to black polyurethane foam sponge trimmed to the appropriate wound size. An occlusive seal over the black polyurethane foam sponge was maintained by a combination of the occlusive dressing, OP - site$^{(R)}$. The VAC dressing changes were performed every 3 or 4 days until adequate incorporation was obtained. The neodermis appeared slightly yellow to orange color. When the Integra$^{(R)}$ deemed clinically incorporated, The VAC was removed and take was estimated with visual inspection. Very thin STSG(0.006 ~ 0.008 inches) was performed after silicone sheet removal. Result: The mean time for clinically assessed incorporation of Integra$^{(R)}$ was 10.00 days (range 9 - 12). The mean dressing change was 3.5 times until take was obtained. In All patients, Integra$^{(R)}$ had successful incorporation in tissue without serious complications. Conclusion: Integra$^{(R)}$ in combination with Vacuum - Assisted Closure(VAC) may be incorporated earlier than conventional dressing method.

Background: Some phenolics detected in the soil may inhibit the seed germination and seedling growth of ginseng (Panax ginseng). This study investigated the effect of irrigation and ginseng root residue addition on the soil microbial community and root rot disease in 2-year-old ginseng. Methods and Results: Each $20{\ell}$ pot was filled with soil infected with ginseng root rot pathogens, and irrigated daily with $2{\ell}$ of water for one month. After the irrigation treatment, ginseng fine root powder was mixed with the irrigated soil at a rate of 20 g per pot. In descending order, ${NO_3}^-$, electric conductivity (EC), exchangeable Na (Ex. Na) and K (Ex. K) decreased due to irrigation. In descending order, ${NO_3}^-$, EC, Ex. K, and available $P_2O_5$ increased with the additon of ginseng powder to the soil. The abundance of Trichoderma crassum decreased with irrigation, but increased again with the incorporation of ginseng powder. The abundance of Haematonectria haematococca increased with irrigation, but decreased with the incorporation of ginseng powder. The abundance of Cylindrocarpon spp. and Fusarium spp., which cause ginseng root rot, increased with the incorporation of ginseng powder. The abundance of Arthrobacter oryzae and Streptomyces lavendulae increased with irrigation. The abundance of Streptomyces lavendulae decreased, and that of Arthrobacter spp. increased, with the incorporation of ginseng powder. Aerial growth of ginseng was promoted by irrigation, and ginseng root rot increased with the incorporation of ginseng powder. Conclusions: Ginseng root residues in the soil affected soil nutrients and microorganisms, and promoted ginseng root rot, but did not affect the aerial growth of ginseng.

The most significant direct role of estrogen in vivo is its ability to elicit receptor-mediated cellular proliferation in mammalian target tissues. However, the mechanism by which exogenously added estrogen causes the neoplastic transformation of renal cortical cells is yet to be uncovered. The present study was designed to evaluate interaction of $17{\beta}-estradiol\;(E_2)$ with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on proliferation and $P_i$ uptake in primary cultured rabbit renal proximal tubular cells in phenol red-free, hormonally defined-medium. $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation increased markedly by about 133% and 141% more in the presence of $10^{-9}\;and\;10^{-6}\;M\;E_2$, respectively, than that of control. Cell count was 162% and 143% greater in the presence of $10^{-9}\;and\;10^{-6}\;M\;E_2$ , respectively, compared with control. Among all time points examined, there was an increase in $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation in the presence of $10^{-9}\;M\;E_2$ at day 9 or 13, respectively. However, $E_2$ ($10^{-9}\;M$) significantly drove up cell count to 160% of that of control at day 13, while it had a slight but statistically insignificant effect at day 9. $E_2-induced$ stimulation of $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation was completely reversed by $E_2$ antagonists (progesterone or tamoxifen). $E_2$ ($10^{-9}\;M$) or EGF ($10^{-8}\;M$) significantly stimulated $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation by 144% and 154% of control. $E_2$ plus EGF was synergistic on $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation (204% of control), while $E_2$ plus IGF-I showed a slight but no significant synergistic effect. Cell number also displayed similar pattern. $E_2$ ($10^{-9}\;M$) significantly stimulated $P_i$ uptake to 134% of control. $E_2$-induced stimulation of $P_i$ uptake was partially reversed by $E_2$ antagonists. EGF or IGF-I ($10^{-8}\;M$) significantly also increased $P_i$ uptake to 132% or 129% of control. $E_2$ plus EGF had synergistic effect on $P_i$ uptake, while $E_2$ plus IGF-I did not. In conclusion, $E_2$ may act not only directly interaction with its receptors but also indirectly as a modulator of EGF in proliferation and $P_i$ uptake of primary cultured rabbit renal proximal tubular cells.

본 실험은 답압에 의한 스트레스를 경감시킬 목적으로 폐타이어 칩을 한국잔디 식재 토양내 혼합 및 표면 배토시 그 효과를 평가하고자 실시하였다. 일반적으로 잔디는 답압이 진행됨에 따라 잔디 마모와 토양 물리성이 나빠져서 생육은 감소하지만 폐타이어 칩을 토양내에 처리함으로써 토양경도, 표면 경도 등 토양 물리성을 향상시키므로 생육을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 토양 혼합처리는 가는 입자 20% 처리구에서 좋은 토양 물리성을 보였다. 배토처리시에는 무처리구와 비교시 표면의 높은 온도와 더불어, 피복효과와 마모를 가장 많이 받는 줄기 밑부분을 보호해 줌으로써 잔디 생육을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 굵은 입자 10cm 처리구에서 표면온도가 높았다. 무기질인 폐타이어 칩을 소량으로 토양 혼합 및 배토처리함으로써 장기적인 효과가 예상되므로 향후 잔디면 조성 및 관리시에 이용할 만한 가능성이 있다고 생각된다.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)s in peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with and without endometriosis on the proliferation of endometrial stromal cells and to investigate the effects of type I IGF receptor antibody on the response of endometrial stromal cells to PF from patients with endometriosis. IGFs in PF from patients with endometriosis (n=14) and without endometriosis (n=10) were measured by immunoradiometric assay and PF samples were divided into low IGF-I PF group (less than 85 ng/ml) and high IGF-I PF group (more than 85 ng/ml). Endometrial stromal cells from patients without endometriosis were cultured in serum free media in the presence or absence of 1 % PF and thymidine incorporation test were used to evaluate the proliferation of endometrial stromal cells. Also cultures were incubated with type I IGF receptor monoclonal antibody (${\alpha}IR_3$) before adding PF. PF from patients with endometriosis and without endometriosis increased thymidine incorporation in endometrial stromal cells. In patients with endometriosis, high IGF-I PF group had high IGF-II levels and resulted in higher thymidine incorporation than low IGF-I PF group but no significant difference in increase in thymidine incorporation between high IGF-I and low IGF-I PF group was noted in patients without endometriosis. There was not a significant correlation between increase in thymidine incorporation and IGF-I levels in PF from patients without endometriosis but in PF from patients with endometriosis. Preincubation with ${\alpha}IR_3$ significantly inhibited the mitogenic response of endometrial stromal cells to PF. Our data indicate that IGF-I in PF may be involved in the growth of ectopic endometrium in patients with endometriosis.

放射線照射에 의해서 尿 및 血液內에 다량의 deoxycytidine (CdR)이 流出하는 것을 볼수가 있는데, 이것이 DNA의 合成이나 分解와 어떤 관련성이 있으며, 아울러 어느 臟器의 DNA가 放射線感受性이 큰지의 여부를 밝히기 위해서 400R의 X 線을 흰쥐에 全身照射시켜, 간, 지라 및 흉선을 切除하여 均質化시킨 후, CdR-2-$^14 C$을 써서 DNA의 合成率 및 分解率을 測定하였다. DNA의 合成率은 흉선의 경우, 照射후 1 $\\sim$ 3日에 가장 심한 抑制現象이 나타났으며 5日후 부터는 점차 回復됨을 볼 수 있었고, 한편 간과 지라의 경우는 抑制의 정도가 흉선에 비해서 적었으며 回復도 훨씬 빨리 이루어졌다. DNA의 分解率은 지라와 흉선의 경우 비슷하여서 照射후 1日에 영향이 極大로 나타냈으며 回復도 아주 늦게 일어남을 볼 수 있었는데 반해서, 간의 경우는 分解도 덜 일어났으며 回復도 아주 빨리 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 각종 臟器의 放射線感受性의 차와 再生能의 차에 의해서 나타나는 현상임을 알 수 있고 CdR의 流出量의 增加는 放射線에 의한 DNA合成의 抑制와 DNA分解의 促進의 두가지 요인에 기인하는 것으로 추정되었으며, 전자의 경우는 흉선이, 후자의 경우는 지라와 흉선이 같은 정도의 重要性을 지니고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) and arachidonic acid(AA) into brain and liver lipid has been compared in male pups from binth to 10 weeks old by feeding DHA-rich experimental diets or chow diets to dams from pregnancy in rats. The experimental DHA-rich diets contained 7g fish oil and 3g corn oil per 100g diet. There were three experimental groups, FO-I : Dams were fed DHA-rich diet during pregnancy and lactation, and their it pups fed the same diet until 10 weeks old. FO-II Dams fed chow diet during pregnancy and DHA-diet during lactation, and their pups fed the same DHA-diet until 10 weeks. FO-III : Dams fed chow diet during gestation and lactation, and then the pups fed DHA-diet after weaning. The relative % of DHA in hepatic lipid was about 12% with chow diets, but increased rapidly to 20-25% level when DHA-rich diets were supplied after weaning. The AA(%) of FO-III group was relatively high when a chow diet containing higher amount of linoleic acid was given, but there was no significant difference between the groups after feeding on a DHA-rich diet. When the DHA-rich diet was supplied from pregnancy(FO-I), the relative % of DHA in brain lipid was 13.7% at birth and continuously increased to a maximum level(17.2%) at 3-weeks and then was sustained until 5 weeks old. Similar levels of DHA incorporation were observed when DHA-rich diet was supplied from lactation(FO-II). However, the pups of FO-III group showed significantly lower levels of DHA incorporation(72%) at birth. These livels slowly increased and reached an 87% level of FO-I at 10 weeks when the pups ate DHA-rich diets after weaning. The relative % of AA in brain lipid was 10.4% in the FO-I group at birth, which was significantly lower than those of other groups, but there was no significant difference between groups after feeding DHA-rich diets in all groups. The Ah(%) level increased to maximum(11-12%) at 3-weeks and then was slightly reduced and was sustained at about 10% after S-weeks. Total amounts of DNA in the whole brain rapidly reached maximum level at 3-weeks and then was sustained at a constant level after S-weeks. DNA content was not significantly different between groups at birth, but it was significantly higher in FO-I and FO-II groups than in FO-III group at 3-weeks. However, DNA content in FO-III group was continuously increased to 80% level of FO-I at 10-weeks after feeding DHA-rich diet since weaning. In conclusion, the DHA(%) in whole brain was most effectively deposited when DHA-rich diet had been supplied during pregnancy and lactation in rats. However, DHA supplementation after weaning also improved the incorporaton of DHA into brain and content of DNA even though brain development was almost completed, which suggests that DHA supplementation might be necessary to improve brain development in humans during infancy as well as pregnancy and lactation.
