In order to examine oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant effect of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) extract, human skin melanoma cells were treated with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). Antioxidant effect of CRP extract on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, cell viability, DPPH-radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. In this study, $H_2O_2$ decreased cell viability of cultured human skin melanoma cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, and then, midcytotoxicity value (MCV) was determined at $60\;{\mu}M$ after human skin melanoma cells were cultured for 5 hours in the media containing $20{\sim}60\;{\mu}M$ of $H_2O_2$, respectively. The $H_2O_2$ was on cultured human skin melanoma cells because MCV of $H_2O_2$ was lower than $100\;{\mu}M$. In the antioxidant effect of CRP extract, CRP extract increased cell viability DPPH-radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity. From these results, it is suggested that $H_2O_2$ was very toxic on cultured human skin melanoma cells. And also, CRP extract has the antioxidant effect on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity.

Extract of Pulsatilla Koreana (SB-31) showed promising antitumor activity in vitro (J. Kor Cancer Asso 26:959-963, 1994). We studied the mechanism of cytotoxicity of SB-31. HL-60 cells were cocultivated with various concentrations of SB-31 for 5 hours. The DNAs from HL-60 cells exposed to SB-31 showed the ladder pattern typical of apoptosis. Effect of SB-31 on topoisomerase I activity was determined by slight modification of the method by E. Aflalo(1994). The pBR322 DNA showed dose-dependent increase of R-Form DNA upon incubation with SB-31. The topoisomerase Ⅰ-like activity (Increase of R-Form DNA) was accentuated with higher dose of SB-31. It is postulated that SB-31, which is a fermentation product of Pulsatilla koreana and which loses its activity when kept in ambient temperature for more than 96 hours, may contain topoisomerase Ⅰ-like activity and the enhanced excessive single strand breaks induced by 55-31 may result in apoptosis.

This study was conducted according to the single-factor design principle to investigate in vitro the effects of different glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) concentrations (0, $1{\times}10^{-11}$, $1{\times}10^{-10}$, $1{\times}10^{-9}$, $1{\times}10^{-8}$ and $1{\times}10^{-7}$ mol/L) on the morphology, proliferation and enzyme activity of intestinal enterocyte cells of 28-d-old weaned piglets. These cells were primary cultured in 4 pieces of 24-well cell culture plate. After having been grown for 48 h in culture media with hGLP-2, the ileal enterocyte cells of 28-d-old weaned piglets exhibited the typical characteristics of simple columnar epithelium. Compared with the control groups, the quantities of treated cells significantly increased (p<0.05) and their corresponding absorption values in 540 nm (MTT OD) also significantly increased (p<0.01). Likewise, lactic acid concentration, total protein content and protein retention significantly increased (p<0.05). $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATP enzyme activity was more active (p<0.05), although the activity of alkaline phosphatase, lactic acid dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase in culture media significantly decreased (p<0.01). To summarize, the results indicated that GLP-2 in vitro is capable of promoting the proliferation of intestinal enterocyte cells of 28-d weaned piglets, restraining their apoptosis and maintaining the integrity of their morphology.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant amounts and properties of barley leaf tea and green tea at under various leaching conditions. The leaching temperatures and times of the distilled water were 50, 70 and $90^{\circ}$C for 1, 3 and 5 min, respectively. The levels of crude fat and ash in the barley leaf tea were higher than those in green tea. Brown color intensity and flavonoid absorbance increased with leaching temperature. The highest vitamin C levels and water-soluble phenol resulted at $90^{\circ}$C for 3 min. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the barley leaf tea and of green tea were 11.06 and 50.56%, respectively, compared to 2.9% for L-ascorbic acid (150 ppm). The nitrite scavenging activities of barley leaf tea and green tea were 95.11 and 74.88%, respectively. The SOD-like activities of barley leaf tea, green tea, and L-ascorbic acid (150 ppm) were 12.99, 8.33, and 12.75%, respectively. The antioxidant effect of green tea was higher than that of barley leaf tea and lastly, the SOD-like activity of barley leaf tea was as high as that of green tea.

The glycoprotein hormone family represents a class of heterodimers, that includes the placental hormone equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and the anterior pituitary hormones- follitropin (FSH), lutropin (LH), and thyrotropin (TSH). The 4 hormones are heterodimers, with a common $\alpha$-subunit and unique $\beta$-subunits. eCG is the most heavily glycosylated of the known pituitary and placental glycoprotein hormones. Recent observations using single chain glycoprotein hormone analogs in which, the $\beta$-and $\alpha$-subunits are linked, implied that heterodimeric-like quaternary configuration is not a prerequisite for receptor/signal transduction. To study the function and signal transduction of tethered rec-eCG, a single chain eCG molecule was constructed and rec-eCG protein was produced. Molecular mass of the single chain is about 45 kDa. All mice were ovulated by tethered rec-eCG treatment. The dual activity of tethered rec-eCG was determined in receptor cell lines of nonequid species; in fact, this dual activity was proven in species other than horse. Tethered rec-eCG in equids does not bind to FSH receptors, suggesting that eCG is primarily an LH-like hormone in the horse. Taken together, these data suggest that tethered rec-eCG has dual activity in nonequid species in vitro. However, it has only LH-like activity in equid species in vitro.

본 연구에서는 커피(Coffea arabica)의 에탄올 추출물을 이용하여 기능성 화장품소재로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 미백활성으로는 tyrosinase 저해 활성과 멜라닌 함량을 측정하였으며, 항산화 활성으로는 SOD-like activity를 측정하였고, 그 결과 $500{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 $94.8{\pm}6.2%$의 활성을 나타내었다. CAE는 3개의 그람양성균과 6개의 그람음성균을 대상으로 항균활성을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 그람음성균에 대해서는 폭넓은 활성을 나타내었지만, 그람양성균에 대한 활성은 나타내지 않았다. 하지만 항생제내성균주인 MRSA CCARM3561에는 강한 활성을 나타내었다. 반면에 Candida albicanse에 대한 항곰팡이 활성은 나타내지 않았다. Tyrosinase 저해활성과 DOPA 산화능은 대조군인 arbutin 보다는 낮게 나타내었고, B16-F10 melanoma cell에 대한 멜라닌 생합성 저해능은 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 89.2%를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 커피 추출물이 천연물, 무독성 항균제 또한 천연 화장품 소재로써의 가치가 있음을 나타내는 것이다.

Objectives : We aimed to identify the antidepressant effect of liver tonification acupuncture treatment (ACU (LT); KI10, LR8, LU8, LR4) and four gate acupuncture treatment (ACU (FG); LI4, LR3) and its brain neural activity in the normal and chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced mouse model. Methods : Firstly, normal mice were given ACU (LT) or ACU (FG) and the c-Fos expressions in each brain region were analyzed to examine brain neural activity. Secondly, CRS was administered to mice for 4 weeks, then ACU (LT) or ACU (FG) was performed for 2 weeks. The depression-like behavior was evaluated using open field test (OFT) before and after acupuncture treatment. Then, the c-Fos expressions in each brain region were analyzed to examine brain neural activity. Results : In normal mice, ACU (FG) regulated brain neural activities in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and periaqueductal gray. ACU (LT) changed more brain regions in the prefrontal cortex, insular cortex, striatum, and hippocampus, including those altered by ACU (FG). In CRS-induced model, ACU (LT) alleviated depression-like behavior more than ACU (FG). Also, brain neural activities in the motor cortex area 2 (M2), agranular ventral part and piriform of insular cortex (AIV and Pir), and cornu ammonis (CA) 1 and CA3 of hippocampus were changed by ACU (LT), and those of AIV and CA3 were also changed by ACU (FG). As in normal mice, ACU (LT) resulted in changes in more brain regions, including those altered by ACU (FG) in CRS model. M2, Pir, and CA1 were only changed by ACU (LT) in depression model, suggesting that these brain regions reflect the specific effect of ACU (LT). Conclusions : ACU (LT) relieved depression-like behavior more than ACU (FG), and this acupuncture effect was associated with modulation of brain neural activities in the motor cortex, insular cortex, and hippocampus.

Rheum undulatum and Rheum palmatum have been widely used as food material as well as medicinal ingredients for their therapeutic effects in oriental countries. Many kinds of herbs are being used in the manufacture of functional foods. The objective of this study was to determine polyphenol content, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, tyrosinase activity, and electron donating ability of R. undulatum and R. palmatum. Total polyphenol content were most effective in 50 and 100% ethanol extracts from R. undulatum and R. palmatum. SOD-like activities of R. undulatum extracts were higher than those of R. palmatum extracts, and water extracts of samples were highest. EDAs of R. undulatum extracts were higher (26.76-44.46%) than those of R. palmatum extracts, while those of both extracts were lower than 1.0 and 0.1% L-ascorbate. And these suggest that the extracts of R. undulatum and R. palmatum can be used as a material in functional food.
