This study was done to investigate the effect of anti-cancer, anti-metastasis and immune response improvement of herbal-acupuncture with Evodiae Fructus herbal infusion solution(EF-HAS). To study the effects of anti-cancer, anti-metastasis and immune response improvement of EF-HAS, we injected EF-HAS into Chung-wan(CV12) of C57BL/6 mice implanted intravenously with Bl6-Fl0 melanoma. Then, we have examined the effect on the increasing of spleen cells, the effect on the number of CD25$^+$/CD4$^+$, CD8$^+$/CD3e$^+$, CD69$^+$/B220$^+$, NK1.1$^+$/CD3e$^+$ cells in mice's PBMCs, the effect on the pulmonary colony number, and the effect on median survival time(MST) and increase of life span(ILS) of C57BL/6 mice implanted intravenously with Bl6-Fl0 melanoma. The following results were obtained; in the experiment groups treated with EF-HAS, the spleen cell proliferation in C57BL/6 mice, the percentage of CD25$^+$/CD4$^+$, CD8$^+$/CD3e$^+$, CD69$^+$/B220$^+$, NK1.1$^+$/CD3e$^+$ cells in C57BL/6 mice's PBMCs, and MST and ILS of C57BL/6 mice implanted intravenously with Bl6-Fl0 melanoma were significantly increased compared with that of the control group. And in the experiment groups treated with EF-HAS, the pulmonary colony number of C57BL/6 mice implanted intravenously with Bl6-Fl0 melanoma was decreased significantly compared with that of the control group. These results support a role for EF-HAS might De usefully applied in treatment of cancer.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of red ginseng (RG) on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced side effects focusing on myelosuppression. Methods: Rats (n = 50) were divided into five groups, nave, control (ip, 5-FU injection of 150 mg/kg), and RG pre-treatment (po, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg for 5 days before 5-FU injection). On the $7^{th}$ day after 5-FU injection, we evaluated the effects using peripheral hematological parameters, colony-forming assay, cytokine levels and histopathological finding. Results: The peripheral white blood cell and the differential count were dramatically suppressed by 5-FU, while RG (50 and 100 mg/kg) treatment significantly improved total white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts. Also, RG (100 mg/kg) pre-treatment significantly increased the number of CFU-GM colony compared with the control group. RG pre-treatment also ameliorated the histopathological damage in bone marrow, spleen, stomach and small intestine tissue. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that Korean RG has preventive effects against 5-FU-induced myelotoxicity and gastrointestinal damage.

Abel et al. in Germany discovered a new dioxin-responsive gene, which has later been identified as rpt-1 (regulatory protein T-lymphocyte 1). While it is speculated that rpt-1 may play a role in signal transduction and carcinogenesis, its roles and functions remain unknown. The present study attempted to analyze functions of rpt-1 in human epithelial cells following the xenobiotic exposures. While German counterpart analyzed expressionn of rpt-1 in spleen and thymus cells from mouse and rat and characterizes molecular properties of the gene, our work mainly focused on analyzing function of rpt-1 in human skin cells. Expression of rpt-1 in human cells were analyzed by western and northern blot RT-PCR analysis. Expression of rpt-1 as well as Staf-50 in human cells with or without exposure to environmental pollutants were also analyzed by northern blot analysis, since Staf-50 is homologous with rpt-1 and found in human cells. To help study roles of rpt-1 in human cell system, retroviral vector system carrying rpt-1 gene under the CMV promoter were constructed and transfected. Cells overexpressing the gene after the transfection showed an increase of cell density and soft agar colony formations, as compared to the control cells, suggesting that rpt-1 may play a certain role in the transformation processes of human cells. While the expression of rpt-1 in spleen and thymus is known to be strong in the laboratory animals, both the basal and TCDD-induced expression of rpt-1 in the current cellular system remained insignificant. It is speculated that the expression pattern of rpt-1 may be tissue- and species-specific. The present study demonstrated a strong expression of rpt-1 protein in the brain of SD rat model. Since there is no previous report on the expression of rpt-1 in the brain tissue, the result may play a significant role in understanding dioxin-induced neurotoxicities in the future. The present study provides an opportunity to understand a role of rpt-1 in human cell system and suggest a possible lead and basis for the future study of dioxin-induced neurotoxicities.

This study was conducted to evaluate the repeated dose toxicity of DA-3030, a recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor(rhG-CSF), in rats. DA-3030 was administered intravenously once a day for 4 weeks to 20 males and 20 females per group at doses of 0(control), 115 and 1150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, and to 15 males and 15 females per group at doses of 1.15 and 11.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. After the administration period, 5 males and 5 females per group in the 0,115 and 1150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg groups were placed on withdrawal for 2 weeks. Through-out the study, all the rats survived. The administration of DA-3030 induced, a marked increase in the number of peripheral neutrophils, elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase activity, and splenomegaly in the rats of both sexes receiving 115 or 1150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. Histopathologic examination revealed extramedullary granulopoiesis in spleen and liver, and increase in the number of activated macrophages in spleen in rats of both sexes in 115 and 115 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg groups, and increased M/E ratio in 11.5, 115 and 1150$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg groups. Most of the changes produced by DA-3030 were thought to be attributable to exaggerated pharmacological effect of the drug, and subsided or disappeared after the recovery period. Under the present condition, no effect dose of DA-3030 is estimated at 1.15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day.

Streptococcosis in the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus can be caused by Streptococcus parauberis. We compared three routes of administration for experimental injections of the S. parauberis 19FBSPa0003 strain in the olive flounder. Pathological changes were observed during the experimental infection. Inflammation of the serous membrane in the liver, intestine, spleen and heart was the major pathological change found in the infected olive flounder. No mortality was observed in fish that received intraperitoneal (IP) injection at less than 1×10⁴ colony-forming unit (CFU)/fish. The lethal dose 50 for olive flounder, given an intravenous (IV) injection, was 7.94×10⁴ CFU/fish. Fish with a higher concentration of IV injected S. parauberis (1×10⁸ CFU/fish) died within a maximum of two days. However, serious necrosis and bacterial proliferation in ellipsoidal cells of the spleen and heart tissues were found in moribund or dead fish, 1-2 days after IV injection. Similar histopathological signs were observed in olive flounder inoculated by subcutaneous (SC) infected and naturally infected. In addition, SC was also strongly associated with bacteria concentration and cumulative mortality rate. Based on these results, SC is the recommended method for artificial infection by S. parauberis in the olive flounder.

본 연구에서는 2013년 4월 제주 소재 육상수조에서 무지개송어 해수순치 과정중에 대량폐사가 발생하여 질병검사를 실시하였다. 병어의 대부분은 체표에 궤양이 형성되어 있었고, 비장 비대, 유문수 부위 및 복강 근육의 출혈 및 위속에 액성물질이 가득 차 있었다. 병원체 검사결과, 기생충, 진균, 바이러스는 검출되지 않았지만 검사 개체 5마리에서 간, 비장 및 신장조직에서 동일한 형태의 세균 colony가 시료 당 200개 이상 분리되었다. 분리세균의 16S rDNA 염기서열 분석 결과, Vibrio anguillarum과 100% (875/875 bp) 일치하였다. 이상의 결과, 무지개송어 해수 순치과정 중에 발생된 질병은 Vibrio anguillarum 감염증으로 사료되었다.
