목적: 마우스 대퇴부에 심은 종양에 43 도의 열을 가한 뒤 수지상 세포를 종양내에 주입하여 국소 및 원격 항종양 효과를 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 마우스 우측 대퇴부에 MCA-102 fibrosarcoma를 피하로 주입하여 종양을 만들었고, 7일째는 반대편 대퇴부에도 주입하여 종양을 만들었다. 종양 세포를 접종한 지 7 일째 약 6 mm 가 된 종양에 43도의 열을 30 분간 가하고 골수 유래 미성숙 동종 수지상 세포를 종양내에 직접 주입하고, 이를 1 주 간격으로 2회 더 시행했다. $3{\sim}4$일 간격으로 양측 대퇴부의 종양의 크기를 측정하여 국소 및 원격 항종양 효과를 평가하였다. 또한 종양 특이적 면역 반응을 평가하기 위해 마우스의 비장 세포를 분리하여 cytotoxicity를 측정하였다. 결과 : 온열치료는 apoptosis를 유도하고 heat shock protein 발현을 증가시켰고, 6시간 경에 최고치를 보였다. 치료한 국소 종양에 있어서 온열 요법 단독만으로 종양의 성장을 억제했지만, 온열 요법 후 수지상세포를 주입했을 때는 그 성장 억제 효과는 온열요법 단독의 효과보다 높게 나왔다. (p<0.05). 한편 치료하지 않은 원 격종양에 있어서도 온열 요법 단독으로 원격 종앙의 성장 억제 효과를 보였으며 온열 요법 후 수지상 세포 를 주입했을 때도 원격 종양의 성장 억제 효과가 온열 요법 단독보다 높았으나, 그 억제 정도가 온열 요법 단독과 비교하여 통계적인 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). Cytotoxicity 검사에서 온열요법과 수지상 세포 복합 치료 군에서 가장 높은 세포살해능을 보였고 (p<0.05), 이러한 면역 반응은 종양 특이적이었다. 결론 : 온열요법으로 apoptosis 와 heat shock protein 을 유도하고 종양내에 동종의 미성숙 수지상 세포를 주입하여 국소 및 원격 종양에 높은 항종양 효과를 유도할 수 있었다. 이러한 새로운 치료법은 암 치료에 응용 될 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives : Acupuncture has been widely used in oriental medicine. The aim of this research is to study how does the interaction between reinforcement-reduction by twirling nine and six and subject's cold or heat tendency effect on Heart Rate Variability. Methods : We divided our subjects into 3 groups at random and classified subjects by their cold or heat tendency using questionnaire for cold-heat patternization. Group 1 is acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reinforcement group, 2 is acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reduction group, 3 in acupuncture at hapkok(LI4) group. According to their group, we acupunctured. Before and after acupuncture Heart Rate Variability raw data were measured during 5 minutes. LF, HF, LF norm HF norm were calculated. We analyzed these data using 3-way repeated ANOVA, Paired student T-Test. Results : 3-way repeated ANOVA showed significant interaction among LF, each group and subject's cold heat tendency(p<0.05). Paired student T-Test showed significant differences between before and after acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reinforcement method in cold tendency men and acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reduction method in heat tendency men(p<0.05). Conclusion : These results suggest that acupuncture at Shinmun(HT7) has an effect on declining sympathetic nerve function and has an effect on stabilizing mind through Interaction between reinforcement-reduction by twirling nine and six and subject's cold or heat tendency. We propose that more prudent care is needed about subject's cold or heat tendency and acupuncture technique of reinforcement-reduction to achieve the most suitable treatment effect.

An experiment was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in four sources of full-fat soybeans (FFSB) and in one source of soybean meal (SBM). The FFSB had different concentrations of trypsin inhibitor units (TIU) and included two sources of conventional FFSB, and two sources of a soybean variety that was selected for a reduced concentration of the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor. The conventional FFSB was either low temperature-processed (LT-FFSB-CV; 37.7% CP, 35.4 TIU/mg) or high temperature-processed (HT-FFSB-CV; 40.5% CP, 4.4 TIU/mg). The low-Kunitz FFSB was also either low temperature-processed (LT-FFSB-LK; 36.2% CP, 23.5 TIU/mg) or high temperature-processed HT-FFSB-LK; (38.2% CP, 4.0 TIU/mg). The SBM contained 47.5% CP and 3.20 TIU/mg. Twelve weanling barrows (initial BW: $11.1{\pm}1.3\;kg$) were fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum. Pigs were allotted to a replicated $6{\times}6$ Latin square design with six diets and six periods per square. Five diets were prepared using each of the soybean sources as the only source of AA in the diet. An N-free diet was also included in the experiment to measure basal endogenous losses of AA. The two low temperature-processed FFSB had lower (p<0.05) AID and SID values for all indispensable AA than the two high temperature-processed FFSB and SBM. The SID values for all indispensible AA except Trp were greater (p<0.05) in LT-FFSB-LK than in LT-FFSB-CV, but the SID of AA in HT-FFSB-CV and HT-FFSB-LK were not different. The SID of AA in SBM were not different from the SID in HT-FFSB-CV and in HT-FFSB-LK. Results of this experiment show that a reduction of the TIU from 35.4 to 23.5 TIU/mg will improve the SID of AA, but this reduction is not sufficient to completely ameliorate the negative impact of trypsin inhibitors. Results also show that the SID of AA in high temperature-processed FFSB is similar to that in de-hulled SBM.

Objectives : Recent studies have provided some clues with regard to the relationship existing between uncoupling proteins (UCPs) and blood pressure in animal experiments. In an attempt to determine the genetic polymorphisms of UCPs that are associated with blood pressure in humans, we have analyzed genetic polymorphisms in members of the UCP family, including UCP1, UCP2 and UCP3. Methods : In this study, we assessed the association between UCP genotypes and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), in a population comprised of 832 Korean female subjects, using a general linear model, which was adjusted for both age and BMI. Results : Among 14 SNPs and the haplotypes constructed from them, haplotype3 of UCP1 (UCP1-ht3) evidenced significant associations with SBP (P=0.0053) and DBP (P=0.0130). However, this haplotype was not significantly associated with obesity phenotypes, including BMI or fat mass (P>0.05), thereby suggesting that its association with blood pressure was not mediated by obesity phenotypes. Conclusions : The source of variations in SBP were determined to occur in the following order: BMI (12.8 %), age (1.2 %) and UCP1-ht3 (1.1 %). Although BMI appears to exert greater effects on blood pressure, the UCP1-ht3 genotype was also found to exert a significant effect.

Ethylene-bridged silsesquioxane resins were synthesized from two monomers: 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane and methyltrimethoxysilane. The silsesquioxane thin films were spin-coated from the copolymerized resins on silicon wafer. Metal insulator metal (MIM), metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) devices were utilized to investigate the electrical properties of the copolymerized thin films. As the films were inserted as gate insulator in the OTFT devices, the field effect mobilitites were evaluated by employing Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as organic semiconductor, which shows that their dielectric properties and mobility values are dependent on the molecular structures and Si-OH concentration involving in the films.

본 연구는 최근 연구자 등이 보고한 NQO1 knockout (결핍) 생쥐의 점막기능 감소 및 장염유발 현상을 인간 대장상피세포에서 재확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 사람 대장상피세포주인 HT29 세포에 NQO1 억제제인 dicumarol을 처치한 다음 밀착연접 조절인자의 변화를 평가하였다. HT29 세포에 10 μM dicumarol을 처치하여 NQO1을 억제하면 인간 대장상피세포의 밀착연접이 유의하게 줄고 구성인자들(ZO1, occludin)의 단백질 양도 감소함을 확인하였다. 생쥐 대장 내강에 dicumarol (10 μM)을 직접 처치한 결과 점막 투과율이 현저하게 증가함도 확인하였다(장벽기능 감소). 이는 인간 대장상피세포의 밀착연접 형성과정이 NQO1에 의존적임을 보여준다. 그러나 dicumarol 처치는 ZO1과 occludin의 전사량을 억제하지 않았다. NOQ1 결핍 생쥐에서 ZO1과 occludin의 전사량이 크게 감소한다는 이전 보고를 감안하면, NQO1에 의한 밀착연접 단백질의 양적 조절 과정이 전사를 포함하는 다양한 경로와 연관되어 있음을 시사한다. 즉, NQO1에 의한 ZO1과 occludin 조절 과정에 프로테오좀 의존-단백질 변성과 같은 단백질 파괴 경로가 이용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Suicidal gene therapy is based on the transduction of tumor cells with "suicide" genes encoding for prodrug-activating enzymes that render target cells susceptible to prodrug treatment. Suicidal gene therapy results in the death of tumor with the expression of gene encoding enzyme that converts non-toxic prodrug into cytotoxic product. Cytochrome P450 4B1 (CYP4B1) activates 4-ipomeanol (4-IPO) or 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) to cytotoxic furane epoxide and unsaturated dialdehyde intermediate.In this study, therapeutic effects of suicidal gene therapy with rabbit CYP4B1/2-AA or 4-IPO system were evaluated in HT-29 (human colon cancer cell). pcDNA-CYP4B1 vector was transfected into HT-29 by lipofection and stable transfectant was selected by treatment of hygromycin ($500{\mu}g/mL$) for 3 weeks. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed for confirmation of CYP4B1 expression in CYP4B1 gene transduced cell. The cytotoxic effects of CYP4B1 transduced cell were determined using dye-exclusion assay after treatment of 2-AA or 4-IPO for 96 hrs. Dye-exclusion assay showed that $IC_{50}$ of HT-29 and CYP4B1 transduced HT-29 was 0.01 mM and 0.003 mM after 4-IPO or 2-AA treatment at 96 hrs exposure, respectively. In conclusion, CYP4B1 based prodrug gene therapy probably have the potential for treatment of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

In the present study, we determined the effect of $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid ($18{\beta}$-GA) in the mice model bearing xenografts of HT-29 human colon cancer cell line. Data from the cytotoxicity assay displayed that $18{\beta}$-GA induced cell death in HT-29. The cytotoxicity was enhanced as the $18{\beta}$-GA treatment was prolonged. In case of 72 hrs treatment, $LD_{50}$ of $18{\beta}$-GA was approximately $90{\mu}M$, and the efficacy at $100{\mu}M$ of $18{\beta}$-GA appeared to be equivalent to that of doxorubicin at $1{\mu}M$. Based on the in vitro data, we tested the anti-tumor effect of $18{\beta}$-GA in thymic mice (Balb/c strain). Xenograft tumors were generated by subcutaneous injection of HT-29 ($3{\times}10^6cells/mouse$) to mice and the mice were treated intraperitoneally with $18{\beta}$-GA ($50{\mu}g/time/mouse$) every other day for 4 times. The tumor volumes were measured for a period of 14 days. Data displayed that the $18{\beta}$-GA treatment reduced the tumor volumes (P < 0.05) as compared to control mice. However, this activity was demolished when athymic mice (Balb/c nu/nu) were used instead of thymic mice. This observation appeared that T lymphocyte played an important role in the anti-tumor activity. In conclusion, our results indicate that $18{\beta}$-GA has anti-tumor activity in HT-29 tumor-bearing mice, which may be associated with T cells.
