본 연구에서는 표고버섯(Lentinula edodes)을 자외선 조사를 통한 ergocaciferol (비타민 D₂) 함량을 증진시킨 추출물을 이용하여 염증 및 알레르기 반응에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다. 표고버섯 추출물의 항염증 및 항알레르기 효능은 LPS로 활성화된 대식세포(RAW 264.7)와 PMA와 A23187에 의해 활성화된 비만세포(RBL-2H3)로부터 분비 또는 발현되는 TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4와 같은 cytokine과 histamine 분비량을 측정하여 관찰하였다. LPS에 의해 활성화된 대식세포에서 자외선 조사 표고버섯 추출물 처리에 의해 pro-inflammatory cytokine인 TNF-α와 IL-6의 분비량을 ELISA 방법으로 측정하였을 때 현저히 감소함을 확인하였고 mRNA 발현 또한 감소됨을 확인하였다. 비만세포에 자외선 조사 표고버섯 추출물과 PMA, A23187을 함께 처리한 경우 비만세포의 탈과립에 의해 분비되는 histamine의 양이 유의적으로 감소함을 확인하였고 IL-4의 발현양 또한 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 자외선 조사에 의해 비타민 D₂ 함량을 증진시킨 표고버섯 추출물이 염증과 알레르기 반응의 cytokine의 발현을 저해하는 것으로 보아 염증 및 알레르기 질환의 예방과 치료에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. In this study, the effects of UV irradiation-enhanced ergocalciferol (vitamin D₂) content containing Lentinula edodes extract on inflammation and allergic responses were investigated in vitro. The anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of the mushroom extract were tested by estimating the cytokine secretions, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in LPS-activated macrophages (RAW 264.7), or histamine release in PMA and A23187-activated mast cells (RBL-2H3). Under the condition of macrophage activation with LPS, mushroom extract significantly reduced the secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6, and their mRNA expression also matched the observation. The current mushroom extract also significantly reduced the amount of mast cell degranulation-induced histamine secretion from PMA- and A23187-treated mast cells as well as the reduced secretion of IL-4. These results suggest that mushroom extract, which has increased ergocalciferol content by UV irradiation, inhibits the expression of cytokines in inflammation and allergic reactions; therefore, it can be used effectively for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and allergic diseases.

Il‑Hyun Kim,Yang‑Il Jung,Byoung‑Kwon Choi,Hyun‑Gil Kim,Jae‑Il Jang 대한금속·재료학회 2021 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.27 No.8

Zirconium alloys are widely used to fabricate nuclear fuel claddings, and thus is desirable to improve the resistance of suchalloys to corrosion and structural instability. In this study, Ta was used as an alloying element to improve the corrosion andoxidation resistance of zirconium alloys. The model alloy (TaZL) contained 0.03 wt% Ta and other elements with a proportionof less than 1 wt% in total (0.1 wt% Nb, 0.4 wt% Fe, 0.2 wt% Cr) in a zirconium base. The corrosion test involving pressurizedwater at 360 °C and oxidation test involving steam at 1200 °C indicated that TaZL exhibited the lowest weight gains amongthose of compared conventional and advanced Zr alloys. The corrosion and oxidation resistances of TaZL were respectivelyimproved by 4 and 1.5 times compared to the corresponding values of Zircaloy-4. The microstructures of the oxide formedon TaZL were columnar along the oxide growth direction and did not change from columnar to equiaxed, which resulted inthe high resistance of the alloy to corrosion and oxidation.

히알루론산(HA, Hyaluronic acid)은 β-1, 3-N-acetyl glucosamine과 β-1, 4-glucuronic acid가 반복된 선형 폴리머 고분자로서 생물학적 활성 및 생체친화성 특성 때문에 의약 및 약학분야에서 중요한 분자로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구는 HA을 S. dysgalactiae으로 얻고, 화학적 방법을 통해 황화된 히알루론산(S-HA, Sulfated hyaluronic acid)유도체를 합성하여 그 구조와 항염증 활성을 비교하였다. HA의 생산은 S. dysgalactiae를 5 l 생물반응기를 이용하여 대량 배양하여 수용성 히알루론산(HA-WS, water soluble hyaluronic acid)과 비수용성 히알루론산(HA-WI, water insoluble hyaluronic acid)을 분리 정제하였다. 특히 HA-WI를 황화시켜 황화된 히알루론산(S-HA) 유도체를 합성하였으며, 그 수율은 90%로 나타났다. 합성된 S-HA의 구조를 FT-IR 및 ¹H/<SUP>13</SUP>C-NMR를 통해 S. dysgalactiae 로부터 생산된 표준 HA, HA-WS 및 HA-WI와 비교 분석한 결과, 황으로 치환된 양상을 확인하였다. 또한, S-HA의 항염증 활성을 RAW 264.7 대식세포를 통해 확인한 결과, S-HA는 천연 형태의 HA (HA, HA-WS)보다 nitric oxide (NO)와 COX-2 및 PGE₂ 유전자 발현이 유의하게 낮게 발현되었다. 염증 매개 cytokine인 TNF-α (<80 pg/ml) 및 IL-6 (<100 pg/ml)의 생성도 S-HA가 천연 HA보다 낮은 수준으로 정량되었다. 이 같은 결과에서 황화된 S-HA은 천연 히알루론산보다 용해성이 우수하고 염증관련 사이토카인의 생성 억제를 통해 항염증 효과를 나타내므로 염증치료제, 성형 및 생체 적용 약물전달 소재로 그 활용이 기대된다. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important macromolecule in medical and pharmaceutical fields. HA is a natural and linear polymer composed of repeating disaccharide units of β-1, 3-N-acetyl glucosamine and β-1, 4-glucuronic acid. This work aimed to confirm the structural characteristics and anti-inflammatory activities of HA and its chemically sulfated-HA. HA was produced from a fed-batch fermentation process using Streptococcus dysgalactiae in a 5 l bioreactor. HA was isolated water-soluble form (HA-WS) and water-insoluble form (HA-WI) from culture medium, and was obtained chemically sulfated-derivative (S-HA) that resulted in a 90% yield from HA-WI. The structural features of the sulfated- HA (S-HA) were investigated by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The FT-IR and NMR patterns revealed the similarity in both the FTIR spectrum as well as NMR spectrum of both reference standard and purified HA from S. dysgalactiae. The anti-inflammatory activities of HA and S-HA were examined on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. S-HA was significantly inhibited production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and PGE₂ and the gene levels of iNOS and COX-2, which are responsible for the production of NO and PGE₂, respectively. Furthermore, S-HA also suppressed the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α (<80 pg/ml) and IL-6 (<100 pg/ml) compared to that of HA-WI. The present study clearly demonstrates that HA-S exhibits anti-inflammatory activities in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells.

Kim, Jin Sik,Sung, Jae Hyuck,Choi, Byung Gil,Ryu, Hyeon Yeol,Song, Kyung Seuk,Shin, Jae Hoon,Lee, Jong Seong,Hwang, Joo Hwan,Lee, Ji Hyun,Lee, Gun Ho,Jeon, Kisoo,Ahn, Kang Ho,Yu, Il Je Informa Healthcare 2014 INHALATION TOXICOLOGY Vol. No.

<P>Despite their useful physico-chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) continue to cause concern over occupational and human health due to their structural similarity to asbestos. Thus, to evaluate the toxic and genotoxic effect of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on lung cells <I>in vivo</I>, eight-week-old rats were divided into four groups (each group = 25 animals), a fresh air control (0 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), low (0.17 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), middle (0.49 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), and high (0.96 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>) dose group, and exposed to MWCNTs <I>via</I> nose-only inhalation 6 h per day, 5 days per week for 28 days. The count median length and geometric standard deviation for the MWCNTs determined by TEM were 330.18 and 1.72 nm, respectively, and the MWCNT diameters ranged from 10 to 15 nm. Lung cells were isolated from five male and five female rats in each group on day 0, day 28 (only from males) and day 90 following the 28-day exposure. The total number of animals used was 15 male and 10 female rats for each concentration group. To determine the genotoxicity of the MWCNTs, a single cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay) was conducted on the rat lung cells. As a result of the exposure, the olive tail moments were found to be significantly higher (<I>p</I> < 0.05) in the male and female rats from all the exposed groups when compared with the fresh air control. In addition, the high-dose exposed male and middle and high-dose exposed female rats retained DNA damage, even 90 days post-exposure (<I>p</I> < 0.05). To investigate the mode of genotoxicity, the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α, TGF- β, IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ) were also measured. For the male rats, the H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> levels were significantly higher in the middle (0 days post-exposure) and high- (0 days and 28 days post-exposure) dose groups (<I>p</I> < 0.05). Conversely, the female rats showed no changes in the H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> levels. The inflammatory cytokine levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid did not show any statistically significant difference. Interestingly, the short-length MWCNTs deposited in the lung cells were persistent at 90 days post-exposure. Thus, exposing lung cells to MWCNTs with a short tube length may induce genotoxicity.</P>

Micro end-milling has been becoming an important machining process to manufacture a number of small products such as micro-devices, bio-chips, micro-patterns and so on. Despite the importance of micro end-milling, many related researches have given grand efforts to micro end-milling phenomenon, for example, micro end-milling mechanism, cutting force modeling and machinability. This paper strongly concerned actual problem, micro tool deflection, which causes excessive machining errors on the workpiece. To research this problem, we measured cutting forces in micro end-milling processes. And then we measured about cutting profile for that processes. At last we make a comparison between tool deflection due to cutting force and measurement of cutting profile.

We developed the demineralized bone particle(DBP) impregnated poly(lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) scaffolds(PLGA/DBP) to investigate the effect of adhesion, growth, viability and inflammatory reaction of the cells. PLGA/DBP scaffolds were prepared by solvent casting/salt leaching method and were characterized by porosimeter, and scanning electron microscopy. NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells were cultured in the PLGA/DBP scaffolds as well as film and MTT assay was used to assess the viability of cells. Also, human promyelocytic leukemia cells(HL-60) were cultured in the PLGA/DBP scaffolds. We observed IL-1ß? and TNF-α expression of HL-60 cells seeded in PLGA/DBP scaffold by RT-PCR. NIH/3T3 fibroblast cell seeded on PLGA/DBP film were more adhere and spread with increasing DBP content due to increasing hydrophilicity and bioactivity. The fluorescence intensity of the band of TNF-α and IL-1ß? gene was decreased with increasing the concentration of DBP. It seems that the DBP affected on the improvement of physicochemical properties of PLGA such as biocompatibility, wettability and inflammatory response.

Monochamus saltuarius, which mediates Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is one of the important vector of pine wilt disease recently. M. saltuarius showed difference with weight, growth, and oviposition according to species of trees. The most feeding amount and feeding area were determined in P. koraiensis. However, M. saltuarius almost did not feed and longevity was observed very short time only for 10 day in Sciadopitys verticillata. Weight, length and head width were measured the highest growth of M. saltuarius in P. koraiensis. Female of M. saltuarius was determined more growing than male of M. saltuarius in all species of trees. Tree preference for oviposition of M. saltuarius was the highest choice in P. densiflora. However, lots of scar for oviposition have observed but M. saltuarius laid less eggs in P. rigida. This result is related to bark thickness of trees. Ovipositional frequency has been consistently maintained to P. densiflora and P. koraiensis at 20 day intervals. In this study, physiological and ecological characteristic of M. saltuarius to preference of trees were researched could be helpful for managing of M. saltuarius.

Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test (CAT) is widely used to measure quality of life in COPD. This tool is also one of determinants of COPD severity to guide COPD management. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of COPD patients according to CAT score level measured at baseline. Method: COPD patients with CAT score measured at baseline were retrospectively identified from COPD registry of Samsung Medical Center between February 2016 and April 2019. COPD was defined as post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/ forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.7 and age ≥ 40 years. Patients were grouped into quintiles of CAT score level. Baseline clinical characteristics and lung function parameters were compared according to CAT score quintiles. Result: A total of 725 patients were included and median (interquartile range [IQR]) CAT score was 17 (11 - 24). Median (IQR) of each CAT score quintile were 6 (4 - 8), 13 (11 - 14), 18 (17 - 19), 23 (22 - 25), and 30 (28 - 34). Age, sex, smoking history and Charlson comorbidity index score did not differ according to CAT score quintiles. Dyspnea of modified medical research council (mMRC) grade ≥ 2 and the previous history of any exacerbation significantly increased across CAT score quintiles, while post bronchodilator FEV1 and diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) significantly decreased across CAT score quintiles. Conclusion: Among the clinical characteristics of COPD patients, dyspnea, previous history of any exacerbation, post bronchodilator FEV1 and DLco were significantly associated with CAT score level.
