특수미인 거대배아미와 유색미의 발아처리에 의한 항돌연변이 활성의 변화를 평가하고자, 70% 에탄올 추출물이 in vitro에서 산화적 손상에 의한 DNA strand scission을 억제하는 효과와 함께 E. coli 및 V79 배양세포에 화학적으로 유발된 돌연변이에 대한 억제효과를 측정하였다. Mitomycin C로 유발된 돌연변이에 대한 억제활성을 E. coli에서 SOS chromotest로 조사한 결과, 활성은 발아유색미(40.4%) > 발아거대배아미(37.1%) > 무발아유색미(35.5%) > 발아현미(15.7%) > 무발아거대배아미(14.0%) > 무발아현미(0.8%)의 순서였다. Mitomycin C가 유도한 DNA strand scission에 대한 억제 효과는 무발아유색미 > 무발아거대배아미 > 발아유색미 > 발아현미 > 무발아현미 > 발아 거대배아미로 나타났다. V79 세포주에서 4-NQO로 유도된 6-TG 저항성 colony의 형성을 저해하는 활성을 지표로 항돌연변이 활성을 조사한 결과, 발아거대배아미(53.2%) > 무발아유색미(40.0%) > 무발아현미(21.2%) > 발아현미(14.4%) > 무발아거대배아미(0.23%)의 순서로 돌연변이를 저해하였는데, 발아유색미는 돌연변이를 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다(-69%).

곡류 및 두류에탄올 추출물의 발암억제효과를 검토하기 위하여 10종의 곡류를 선정해서 70% 에탄올 추출물을 얻은 다음 항변이활성, 항산화활성, DNA 손상 억제효과 및 발암 promotion 억제효과를 비교하였다. E. coli PQ 37 균주를 이용한 SOS chromotest에 의해서 항변이활성을 검색한 결과 화곡류에 비해 두류의 활성이 높은 경향을 보였으며, 특히 검정콩과 팥의 항변이활성이 높았다. 변이원 물질로 사용되는 mitomycin C는 DNA의 strand scission 현상을 유발함으로써 DNA의 손상을 초래하게 되므로, 이의 처리를 통하여 쌀겨 및 곡류 추출물이 DNA의 손상을 억제하는 정도를 측정하였다. 곡류중 조와 율무의 70% 에탄올 추출물의 DNA 손상억제 효과가 큰 것으로 관찰되었으며 두류중에는 검정콩과 흰콩의 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 강한 DNA 손상억제효과를 관찰하였다. 곡류 및 두류 에탄올추출물의 DNA 손상억제효과가 확인되었으므로 이들의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 Linoleic acid model system을 이용한 항산화활성을 측정하였다. DNA 손상억제효과와 유사하게 두류의 항산화 효과가 컸으며 율무>검정콩>조>흰콩>보리>현미의 순이였다. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)활성화 시험법을 적용하여 곡류 및 두류 에탄올추출물의 발암 promotion 억제 효과를 측정한 결과, 수수와 메밀의 발암 promotion 억제 효과가 관찰되었고 두류 중 검정콩과 팥에 있어서 강한 억제효과가 관찰되었다.

We investigated the expression profiles of rat fibrotic liver induced by bile duct ligation and scission (BDL/S) using the 3'-directed cDNA libraries. The possibility that the 3'-directed cDNA library represents the mRNA population faithfully was examined by northern blots. During the northern analysis based on fibrotic liver expression profile, we found for the first time that purine specific sodium nucleoside cotransporter (SPNT) was upregulated in BDL/S-induced fibrotic liver. To determine whether the accumulation of bile juice could affect the expression of SPNT mRNA or not, we examined the change of SPNT mRNA expression at 3, 14, 28 days after BDL/S operation. No change in SPNT expression was observed in rat liver at 3 days after surgery. In contrast, there were significant increases in SPNT expression at 14 and 28 days after surgery. We also examined whether chronic liver damage affected SPNT mRNA expression. SPNT mRNA level was significantly increased in BDL/S-induced fibrotic rat liver, whereas no significant change was obserbed in fibrotic livers chronically exposed to carbon tetrachloride or dimethylnitrosamine. From the above results, although further study might be needed, it was considered that the increment of SPNT mRNA in BDL/S liver morphological compatibility to human was remarkable.

This study was carried out to investigate the liver protective effects of extracts from Persicae Semen (WT-003, WT-005, WT-006). The acute hepatic injury was induced by intraperitoneal injection of alpha-naphtylisothiocyanate (75 mg/kg, p.o.) and treated with WT-006 (100 mg/kg/day, 200 mg/kg/day, 400 mg/kg/day). The experimental hepatic fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation／scission(BDL/S), duration of 4 weeks and treated with WT-003, WT-005 or WT-006 (200 mg/kg/days for 4 week). In acute liver injury, WT-006 (200 or 400 mg/kg) lowered serum alanine transferase(ALT) and aspartate transferase(AST) significantly. In fibrotic rats, WT-006 treatment inhibited the hydroxyproline deposition in liver and lowered serum AST, ALT and ALP, significantly. These results suggest WT-006 extract, which does not contain amygdalin, from Persicae Semen have liver protective and antifibrotic effects in rats.

This study was carried out to investigate the dose dependent antifibrotic effects of polysaccharide from mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum. The experimental hepatic cirrhosis was induced by bile duct ligation/scission (BDL/S) in rats. BDL/S rats in each group were dosed 0.5 mg, 2.0 mg, 5.0 mg or 10.O mg/rat/day orally for 4 weeks after the operation. Antifibrotic effects were evaluated by serum biochemical values, hydroxyproline contents, and light microscopical histology. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Hydroxyproline contents in liver of 5.0 and 10.0mg polysaccharide-treated BDL/S rats were significantly reduced 2) In serum test, ALT, AST, ALP values in polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum-treated group were lower than BDL/S control group 3) The hepatic damage such as hepatocellular necrosis, inflammation, bile duct proliferation and fibrosis was less severe in the livers of 2.0 mg and 5.0 mg polysaccharide-treated rats. These results suggest that polysaccharide from mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum to be a promising agent for the inhibition of hepatic cirrhosis.

HDPE와 LDPE에 대한 열분해실험을 반응기 크기가 40 $cm^3$인 스테인레스 스틸 반응기에서 수행하였으며 이때 반응온도는 $410{\sim}460^{\circ}C$이었다. 열분해생성물인 액상생성물과 기상생성물을 분리하여 채취하였고 각 생성물의 분자량분포는 HPLC-GPC와 GC분석을 통해 얻었다. 미분반응기에서 열분해온도와 시간이 증가할수록 액상생성물의 수율과 분자량 분포는 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 열분해반응에서 말단절단의 속도계수인 활성화에너지 값은 HDPE, 63.0kcal/mole, LDPE, 45.7kcal/mole 이었다.

Hepatic cirrhosis is a common response to chronic liver injury from many causes and is one of the most common cause of all deaths. This study was carried out to compare experimental hepatic cirrhosis in rats to understand this disease and to apply for the pharmacokinetics in disease state. Following three kinds of experimental models were induced; 1) Bile duct ligation/scission (BDL/S), 2) N, N-dimethylnitrosamine(DMN), 3) Carbon tetrachloride. The hepatic cirrhosis was characterized by examing the liver/body weight ratio, serum biochemical values, hydroxyproline content in liver and histopathological lesions in cirrhotic rat liver. The results are as follows : (1) In BDL/S, the liver was enlarged to 250% of normal liver. In contrast the liver was shrinked to 48% and 78% of the normal liver in DMN and carbon tetrachloride, respectively. (2) In carbon tetrachloride and BDL/S, the serum ALT, AST, ALP and total bilirubin levels were significantly increased to 200~300% of normal level, while ALT and total bilirubin levels were significantly increased in DMN group. (3) Hydroxyproline content in cirrhotic rat liver was significantly 200~500% higher than that of normal liver. (4) Nodular formation with fibrosis was observed in BDL/S, DMN, carbon tetrachloride induced cirrhotic rat liver.

The branched polypropylene (b-PP) was prepared by melt blending process with initiator, antioxidant, and functional monomers to improve the melt strength through the melt grafting. The melt flow index (MFI) of the b-PP was increased with increasing the initiator content. On the introduction of the alkylamine as the branching agents the MFI of the b-PP was increased, while that of the b-PP with the pentaerythritol triacrylate (PT) was decreased. It may be caused by the chain scission of the i-PP backbone due to the reduced thermal stability of the i-PP on the melt blending. The MFI of the b-PP without the antioxidant was increased due to the chain scission occurred during the melt processing, while on the introduction of the antioxidant, the MFI of the b-PP was decreased. The crystallization temperature of the b-PP was higher than that of PP, which was attributed to the branched chain structure. It was found that the PT was the most effective functional monomers for enhancing the melt properties of the b-PP.
