크롬염의 일종인 중크롬산칼륨($K_2Cr_2O_7$)의 세포독성을 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포를 재료로 산화적 손상측면에서 조사하였으며, 또한 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 대한 짚신나물(Agrimonia pilosa var., AP) 추출물의 영향을 세포생존율을 비롯한 LDH 억제능 및 superoxide anion-radical (SAR) 소거능과 같은 항산화 측면에서 분석하였다. 본 실험에서 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포에 $25{\sim}35{\mu}M$의 $K_2Cr_2O_7$을 각각 처리한 결과, 처리 농도에 따라 대조군에 비하여 세포생존율이 유의하게 감소되었으며, 이 때 $XTT_{50}$값은 $37.5{\mu}M$에서 나타나 고독성(highly-toxic)인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항산화제인 BHT는 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성을 유효하게 방어하였다. AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 의하여 감소된 세포생존율을 유의하게 증가시킴으로서 세포독성을 방어하였다. 이와 동시에, AP 추출물은 LDH 활성 저해능을 비롯하여 SAR 소거능을 보임으로서 항산화 효과를 나타냈다. 위의 결과로부터 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 산화적 손상이 관여하고 있는 것을 확인하였고, AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 독성을 항산화능에 의하여 효과적으로 방어하였다. 따라서, AP 추출물과 같은 천연성분은 크롬과 같은 산화적 손상과 관련된 독성을 방어할 수 있으므로 산화적 손상에 의한 질환 치료를 위한 물질로 활용적 가치가 크다고 사료된다.

Saururus chinensis Baill has been used in Korean folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases such as edema, Jaundice, and furuncle. The components of this plant were extracted into four fraction. Among the four fraction, hexane and ethyl acetate fraction were highly toxic to 3T3 mouse embryo fibroblast and Raw 264.7 mouse macrophage, but n-butanol and residue fraction did not show any toxic effect to those cell lines. n-Butanol and residue fraction exhibited antioxidant effects on hydro-gen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion directly in vitro and in the 3T3 fibroblasts. All the four fractions inhibited lipid peroxidation measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation. In addition, n-butanol and residue fraction showed inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production, and also down-regulated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA transcription 6 h after LPS stimulation in Raw 204.7 cells. Only n-butanol fraction, which mainly consists of flavonoids, inhibited NF-kB activation by decreasing IkBa degradation 90 min after LPS stimulation. horn the results, it is suggested that this plant could be a good candidate material for drug development based on its antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory constituents.

Objectives: This study assessed the cytotoxicity of the metallic mordant cupric acetate (CA) and the protective effect of Albizzia julibrissin (AJ) leaf extract on CA-induced cytotoxicity in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Methods: For this study, cell viability and antioxidative effects such as the inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation (LP) and superoxide anion-radical (SAR) scavenging activity were assessed. Results: CA significantly decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, and the $XTT_{50}$ value was measured as $55.0{\mu}M$ of CA. The cytotoxicity of CA was determined as highly toxic by Borenfreund and Puerner's toxic criteria. The catalase antioxidant significantly increased cell viability diminished by CA-induced cytotoxicity in these cultures. Regarding the protective effect of AJ leaf extract on CA-induced cytotoxicity, AJ leaf extract remarkably increased the SAR scavenging ability and the inhibitory ability of LP. From these findings, it is suggested that oxidative stress is involved in the cytotoxicity of CA, and AJ leaf extract effectively protected CA-induced cytotoxicity via antioxidative effects. Conclusions: Natural resources like AJ leaf extract may be a putative therapeutic agent for treatment or alleviation of the toxicity induced by CA metallic mordant.

The first line of antioxidant defense against reactive oxygen species includes the enzymatic activity of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) that catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and water. The SOD mainly removes highly toxic $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ and also prevents $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ mediated reduction of iron and subsequent OH$^{[-10]}$ generation. Along with an interest in SOD as a first line of defense against damage mediated by the superoxide anion, the SOD1 enzyme has been subjected to investigation in the molecular and cellular level.

Cochlodinium polykrikoides is one of the most harmful red tide dinoflagellates and is highly toxic to fish. Red tides due to this dinoflagellate have been reported in Korea, Japan, and other countries, and frequently cause severe damage to fish farming. Recently study has suggested that C. polykrikoides generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion ($O_{2-}$) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), and the ROS-mediated ichthyotoxicity has been proposed.

Formic acid or formate is a common industrial compound used in the production of ensilage, disinfectants, decalcifying agents and mainly as a precursor in industrial chemical synthesis. It is also a well-known toxic metabolite produced in methanol poisoning. Thus, formate is a potential source of both accidental and deliberate poisoning. Very few reports have been published thus far, on the toxicology of direct formic acid poisoning. Here, we report a case of a 74-year-old man without a history of depression, who ingested about 30 gm of formic acid. The patient presented with profound high anion gap metabolic acidosis, acute renal failure and esophageal stricture. The patient was successfully treated with hemodialysis and supportive measures. But permanent esophageal stricture was complicated by formic acid burns in the gastrointestinal tract. We discuss the pathophysiology and treatment of this case.

치매유발제인 염화알루미늄(aluminum chloride, $AlCl_3$)의 세포독성을 대뇌교종세포인 C6 glioma 세포를 대상으로 산화적 손상측면에서 조사하였으며, 또한 $AlCl_3$의 세포독성에 대한 금은화(Lonicerae flos, LF) 추출물의 영향을 세포생존율을 비롯한 DPPH-라디칼 소거능, superoxide anion-radical (SAR) 제거능 및 지질과산화(lipid peroxidation, LP) 억제능과 같은 항산화 측면에서 분석하였다. 본 실험에서 배양 C6 glioma 세포에 $120{\sim}160{\mu}M$의 $AlCl_3$가 각각 포함된 배양액에서 처리한 결과 처리 농도에 비례하여 세포생존율이 대조군에 비하여 유의한 감소를 보였으며, 이 때 $XTT_{50}$값은 $128.8{\mu}M$에서 나타나 중간독성(mid-toxic)인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항산화제인 BHT는 $AlCl_3$의 세포독성을 유효하게 방어하였다. 한편, $AlCl_3$의 세포독성에 대한 금은화(LF) 추출물의 영향에 대한 조사에 있어서, LF 추출물은 $AlCl_3$에 의하여 감소된 세포생존율을 유의하게 증가시킴으로써 세포독성을 방어하였다. 이와 동시에, LF 추출물은 DPPH-라디칼 소거능을 비롯하여 SAR 제거능 및 LP 억제능을 보임으로서 항산화 효과를 나타냈다. 위의 결과로부터 $AlCl_3$의 세포독성에 산화적 손상이 관여하고 있으며, 또한 LF 추출물은 $AlCl_3$의 독성을 항산화능에 의하여 효과적으로 방어하였다. 따라서, LF 추출물과 같은 천연성분은 알루미늄과 같이 산화적 손상과 관련된 치매유발제의 독성을 방어함으로써 차후 치매와 같은 산화적 손상 관련의 질환 치료를 위한 항산화 물질로서의 개발적 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

본 연구는 배양된 C6 신경교종(glioma) 세포에서 환경오염 원인 황산알루미늄에 의한 신경 독성과 파리풀(PLVAH)추출물의 AS에 의해 유도된 신경 독성에 대한 보호효과를 확인해 보았다. 이를 위해 세포생존력과 전자공여(ED)능, 지질과산화(LP) 저해능 및 과산소음이온라디칼(superoxide anion-radical, SAR) 소거능과 같은 항산화효과를 조사하였다. AS는 용량의존적으로 현저히 세포생존율을 감소시켰고 AS의 $XTT_{50}$ 값은 $120.0{\mu}M$로 측정되었다. AS의 신경 독성은 Borenfreund와 Puerner의 독성 기준에 의해 중간 독성으로 판정되었다. 또한, 항산화제인 catalase (CAT)는 AS의 신경독성에 의해 손상된 세포의 생존력을 현저히 증가시켰다. AS 유발 신경 독성에 대한 PLVAH 추출물의 보호 효과에서, PLVAH 추출물은 ED의 능력, LP의 억제 능력 및 SAR 소거능을 유의하게 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과로부터 산화 스트레스가 AS의 세포독성에 관여하고 있으며, PLVAH 추출물의 항산화 작용에 의해 AS에 의해 유도된 신경 독성을 효과적으로 보호한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. PLVAH 추출물과 같은 천연 성분은 산화스트레스를 만드는 AS와 같은 중금속 화합물로 인한 독성을 치료할 수 있는 잠재적 치료제로 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

Toxicity of metal plating wastewater was evaluated by using acute toxicity tests on Daphnia magna. To identify toxicants of metal plating wastewater, several manipulations such as solid phase extraction (SPE), ion exchange and graduated pH adjustment were used. The SPE test had no significant effect on baseline toxicity, suggesting absence of toxic non-polar organics in metal plating wastewater. However, anion exchange largely decreased the baseline toxicity by 88%, indicating the causative toxicants were inorganic anions. Considering high concentration of chromium in metal plating wastewater, it is thought the anion is Cr(VI) species. Graduated pH test showing independence of the toxicity on pH change strongly supports this assumption. However, as revealed by toxicity confirmation experiment, the initial toxicity of metal plating wastewater (24-h TU=435) was not explained only by Cr(VI) (24-h TU = 725 at $280\;mg\;L^{-1}$). Addition of nickel($29.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$) and copper ($26.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$) largely decreased the chromium toxicity up to 417 TU, indicating antagonistic interaction between heavy metals. This heavy metal interaction was successfully predicted by an equation of 24-h $TU\;=\;3.67\;{\times}\;\ln([Cu]\;+\;[Ni])\;+\;79.44$ at a fixed concentration of chromium.

Activated microglia by neuronal injury or inflammatory stimulation overproduce nitric oxide (NO) by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion, resulting in neurodegenerative diseases. The toxic peroxynitrite (ONOO$^-$), the reaction product of NO and superoxide anion further contributes to oxidative neurotoxicity. We tried to evaluate the effects of two kinds of varieties of Perilla frutescens var japnica Hara on the NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia. The perilla cultivars of Namcheondeulkkae (NC) and Boradeulkkae (BR) were developed by pure line from the local variety and by a cross between 'deulkkae' and 'chajogi', respectively. Spirit, hexane, chloroform and butanol fractions of the leaves of NC and BR inhibited the production of NO in LPS-activated microglia. The fractions of BR showed stronger activity than NC and the spirit extracts was the most potent in both cultivars. The solvent fractions of BR suppressed the expression of protein and mRNA of iNOS in LPS-activated microglial cells. Moreover, the extracts of NC and BR showed the activity of peroxynitrite scavenging in cell free bioassay system. These results imply that Namcheondeulkkae and Boradeulkkae might have neuroprotective activity through the inhibition of NO production by activated microglial cells and peroxynitrite scavenging activity.
