The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of green design in the 1990s based on ecological aesthetics and identify the trend toward eco-design in different times. It was based on our study of literatures and cases along with analysis of contents. To establish the concept of eco-design, the case study was conducted on relevant literatures and photographs, and in terms of cases related to fashion, the study of all design trends occurred in the past analyzed the characteristics of design elements between 1990 and 1999. As the result, trend toward green design could be split into naturalism, minimalism and recycle. The first two trends share the core concept of reduce. As the trend pursued minimalism, at the production stage, it had a simple form and was designed using materials that can minimize the damage to the environment. This kind of materials had natural colors such as ecru. Addition ally, in the recycle trend, recycling fashion that came from the need to conserve resources and protect environment caught on with the reuse of old materials and various methods of expression through diversity of materials. Almost anything could be used; fabrics, paper, recycled plastic, and everyday products. And you can see that fashion had played an active role in recycling resources using various methods like patchwork, collage, fraying, fringe, and layering

Involvement of ROS in Curcumin-induced Autophagic Cell Death

Youn Ju Lee,Nam-Yi Kim,Young-Ah Suh,ChuHee Lee 대한생리학회-대한약리학회 2011 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.15 No.1

Many anticancer agents as well as ionizing radiation have been shown to induce autophagy which is originally described as a protein recycling process and recently reported to play a crucial role in various disorders. In HCT116 human colon cancer cells, we found that curcumin, a polyphenolic phytochemical extracted from the plant <i>Curcuma longa</i>, markedly induced the conversion of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-I to LC3-II and degradation of sequestome-1 (SQSTM1) which is a marker of autophagosome degradation. Moreover, we found that curcumin caused GFP-LC3 formation puncta, a marker of autophagosome, and decrease of GFP-LC3 and SQSTM1 protein level in GFP-LC3 expressing HCT116 cells. It was further confirmed that treatment of cells with hydrogen peroxide induced increase of LC3 conversion and decrease of GFP-LC3 and SQSTM1 levels, but these changes by curcumin were almost completely blocked in the presence of antioxidant, N-acetylcystein (NAC), indicating that curcumin leads to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which results in autophagosome development and autolysosomal degradation. In parallel with NAC, SQSTM1 degradation was also diminished by bafilomycin A, a potent inhibitor of autophagosome- lysosome fusion, and cell viability assay was further confirmed that cucurmin-induced cell death was partially blocked by bafilomycin A as well as NAC. We also observed that NAC abolished curcumin- induced activation of extracelluar signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), but not Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). However, the activation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK seemed to have no effect on the curcumin-induced autophagy, since both the conversion of LC3 protein and SQSTM1 degradation by curcumin was not changed in the presence of NAC. Taken together, our data suggest that curcumin induced ROS production, which resulted in autophagic activation and concomitant cell death in HCT116 human colon cancer cell. However, ROS-dependent activation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, but not JNK, might not be involved in the curcumin-induced autophagy.

Citrobacter species is a gram-negative bacilli that can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. Citrobacter braakii refers to the genomospecies 6 of the Citrobacter freundii complex. There are no detailed studies on infections caused by this newly identified specific genetic species in Korea. We herein report a case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who, after undergoing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, developed biloma which later progressed to C.braakii sepsis and did not respond to treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in Korea on C. braakii infection resulting in septic shock in a patient with malignancy in Korea.

The optimized core peptide derived from CABIN1 efficiently inhibits calcineurin-mediated T-cell activation

Lee Sangho,Lee Han-Teo,Kim Young Ah,Lee Il-Hwan,Kang Seong-Jun,Sim Kyeongpyo,Park Chung-Gyu,Choi Kyungho,Youn Hong-Duk 생화학분자생물학회 2022 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.54 No.-

The C-terminal fragment of CABIN1 interacts with calcineurin and represses the transcriptional activity of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). However, the specific sequences and mechanisms through which it binds to calcineurin are unclear. This study determined that decameric peptide (CABIN1 residues 2146–2155) is minimally required for binding to calcineurin. This peptide contains a unique “PPTP” C-terminal sequence and a “PxIxIT” N-terminal motif. Furthermore, p38MAPK phosphorylated the threonine residue of the “PPTP” sequence under physiological conditions, dramatically enhancing the peptide’s binding affinity to calcineurin. Therefore, the CABIN1 peptide inhibited the calcineurin-NFAT pathway and the activation of T cells more efficiently than the VIVIT peptide without affecting calcineurin’s phosphatase activity. The CABIN1 peptide could thus be a more potent calcineurin inhibitor and provide therapeutic opportunities for various diseases caused by the calcineurin-NFAT pathway.

Butanol extracts of <i>Asparagus cochinchinensis</i> fermented with <i>Weissella cibaria</i> inhibit iNOS-mediated COX-2 induction pathway and inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells

Lee, Hyun Ah,Song, Bo Ram,Kim, Hye Ryeong,Kim, Ji Eun,Yun, Woo Bin,Park, Jin Ju,Lee, Mi Lim,Choi, Jun Young,Lee, Hee Seob,Hwang, Dae Youn D.A. Spandidos 2017 Experimental and therapeutic medicine Vol.14 No.5

<P>Roots of <I>Asparagus cochinchinesis</I> have been widely used to treat fever, cough, kidney disease, breast cancer, inflammatory and brain disease, although the effects of their fermented products have not been assessed until now. To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages of a butanol extract from <I>A. cochinchinensis</I> roots fermented with <I>Weissella cibaria</I> (BAW), alterations in the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-mediated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction pathway and inflammatory cytokine expression were measured in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 cells following pretreatment with BAW. Briefly, <I>W. cibaria</I> was selected from two bacterial strains for the fermentation of <I>A. cochinchinensis</I> roots based on its hyaluronidase inhibition and NO suppression rates. Following fermentation with <I>W. cibaria</I>, the level of various key components including total phenols and protodioscin were significantly enhanced in BAW. In addition, BAW exhibited high free radical scavenging activity (IC<SUB>50</SUB>=31.62 µg/ml) and induced a decrease of intracellular ROS production in RAW264.7 cells following DCFH-DA staining. Significant suppressions in the expression level of important members of the iNOS-mediated COX-2 induction pathway and the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase members were detected. The expressions of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were recovered in BAW pretreated RAW264.7 cells. Overall, these results suggest that BAW may suppress inflammatory responses through differential regulation of the iNOS-mediated COX-2 induction pathway and inflammatory cytokine expressions in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells.</P>

Comprehensive Evaluation of the NeoBase 2 Non-derivatized MSMS Assay and Exploration of Analytes With Significantly Different Concentrations Between Term and Preterm Neonates

Lee Beomki,Heo Won Young,Kim Jee Ah,Lee Hyun-Seung,Hwang Narae,Park Hyung-Doo,Sung Se In,Chang Yun Sil,Park Won Soon,Lee Soo-Youn 대한진단검사의학회 2023 Annals of Laboratory Medicine Vol.43 No.2

Background: Despite the popularity of the NeoBase 2 Non-derivatized MSMS assay (PerkinElmer, Turku, Finland), there are no reports of its comprehensive evaluation, including the ability to distinguish transient tyrosinemia of the newborn (TTN) from tyrosinemia type 1 (TYR 1) using succinylacetone (SUAC). No newborn screening (NBS) cutoffs for preterm neonates in the Korean population have been suggested. We evaluated the NeoBase 2 assay and identified analytes requiring different cutoffs in preterm neonates. Methods: Residual NBS dried blood spot samples and proficiency testing (PT) materials of the Newborn Screening Quality Assurance Program and the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service were used. Precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), linearity, recovery, carryover, and performance of SUAC were evaluated. Cutoffs were determined, and analytes requiring different cutoffs in preterm neonates were investigated. Results: Mean CVs for within-run and between-day precision were within 15%. Accuracy analysis indicated high agreement with in-house derivatized assay results and results of other PT participants. All analytes demonstrated acceptable LOD, LLOQ, and linearity. Recoveries were acceptable, except for SUAC. Carryover was negligible. Cutoffs were established for all analytes; Tyr, adenosine, and C20:0-lysophosphatidylcholine required different cutoffs in preterm neonates. Differential diagnosis of TYR 1 and TTN was successful with simultaneous Tyr and SUAC measurement. Conclusions: The NeoBase 2 assay demonstrated satisfactory performance. The additional analytes provide a wider diagnostic coverage, and the simultaneous measurement of Tyr and SUAC is efficient in excluding TYR 1. The new cutoffs for preterm neonates may decrease false-positive rates, without compromising diagnostic sensitivity.
