Background/Aims: Quantitative HBsAg (qHBsAg) titers are emerging as useful tools for measuring viral load and predicting predicting virologic response (VR). This study aimed to determine whether serial monitoring of HBsAg levels could predict virologic response to entecavir(ETV) & clevudine(CLV) therapy in treatment-naive patients with CHB Methods: A total of 157 treatment-naive patients with CHB, who visited Chung-Ang University Hospital between January 2007 and December 2008, were enrolled in this study (100 males). 97 patients(69 males, mean age 48) were treated with ETV for average 53 months, and 60 patients (31 males, mean age 43) were treated with CLV for 26months average. HBsAg levels were measured at baseline, week 12, 24, and 48. All patients were assessed for virological response (HBV DNA<140 copies/mL). Serum HBV DNA was quantified using the real time PCR assay (Artus HBV LC PCR Kit, Roche Diagnostics, lower limit of quantification, 140 copies/mL). Results: In 97 ETV-treated patients, the rates of virological response were 56.7% (55/97) at 48months and 60 CLV-treated patients, 30% (18/60) at 24 months, respectively. Mean reduction of baseline HBV DNA was -5.3, and -4.9 log10 copies/mL. In 55 VR patients treated with ETV, 43(78.1%) patients showed early decline of HBsAg titer and 31(56.3%) patients had lower baseline HBsAg levels (< 3.7 log IU/mL). In 18 VR patients treated with CLV, 9(50%) patients showed early decline of HBsAg titer and 11(61.1%) patients had also lower baseline HBsAg levels (< 3.7 log IU/mL) . Conclusions: Early decline of HBsAg was useful for predicting VR, and baseline HBsAg could be indicative as well in CHB patients treated with ETV than patients treated with CLV.

<P>The role of antigen-presenting cells in the balance between immunity and tolerance to intestinal antigens remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined whether CD40 ligation affects the induction of CD4 and CD8 T cell tolerance in response to intestinal antigens. We show that an agonistic anti-CD40 mAb treatment did not block the induction of OVA-specific CD4 T cell tolerance, whereas this approach enabled strong priming of OVA-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL), preventing CTL tolerance to intestinal antigen. Such CTL priming was independent of CD4 T cell help but required B7 costimulation. Co-administration of anti-CD40 mAb increased the synthesis of IL-2 and the expression of CD25 by CD8 T cells, but neither IL-2 production nor CD25 expression by CD4 T cells was enhanced by anti-CD40 mAb. However, neutralization of TGF-&bgr; together with addition of agonistic anti-CD40 mAb was able to reverse CD4 T cell tolerance. These findings suggest that the induction of tolerance versus immunity against intestinal antigens is determined by the status of the antigen-presenting cells and that signals via CD40 differently regulate the outcome of CD4 and CD8 T cells in vivo.</P>

Recently, obesity has become a worldwide public health concern and the use of anorectic drugs has drastically increased. In this study, sibutramine and phendimetrazine, representative marketed anorectics, were repeatedly administered per os on a daily basis into C57BL/6 mice and the effects of these drugs on food intakes, body weight changes and gene expression profiles were monitored for up to following 7 days. Methamphetamine, which has a potent anorectic effect, was used as a positive control. Anorectic effects were sustained only for two days by phendimetrazine or methamphetamine, but for six days by sibutramine. The modulations of gene expressions in the hypothalamus and the striatum were investigated using microarrays on day 2 and day 7 post-administration, which corresponded to the anorectic period and a return of appetite respectively, for all three drugs tested. Differences in overall gene expression profiles in the stratum on day 2 for sibutramine and phendimetrazine seems to reflect difference between the two in terms of the onsets of drug tolerance. According to microarray findings, the Ankrd26 gene appears to have an important anorectic role, whereas the up-regulation of the olfaction system appeared to be involved in the drug tolerance of anorectics. The microarray data presented in this study demonstrates the usefulness of gene expression analysis for gathering information on the efficacy and safety of anorectic drugs.

Backgrounds : Pomelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) is the kind of citrus fruit which is Dicotyledoneae belongs to Rutaceae and special product in Jeju island. According to the previous researches, coumarin, eliocitrin, naringin are identified and these kinds of constituents revealed to be effective as anticancer, antioxidant, and antidiabetic. Until recently, there are many investigations about its functional properties were reported, but investigation about biological activities depend on extraction conditions are not sufficient. Methods and Results : 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was performed by the method of Blois with minor modification. After adding DPPH radical to each sample solutions, the mixtures were incubated in 30 minutes at aphotic place. Then, the degree of scavenging activity was recorded by microplate reader at 490 nm. The scavenging activity was expressed by RC50, which is the concentration of sample solution necessitated to scavenge 50% DPPH radical against negative control. For α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, the method using p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) was applied. To each samples, α-glucosidase and pNPG were mixed and incubated, consequently, Na2CO3 was added to terminate the reaction. Finally, absorbance was read at 450 nm. The same as DPPH radical scavenging activity, the inhibition was explicitly expressed by the amount of sample solution to inhibit 50% α-glucosidase, IC50. The 80% MeOH extract demonstrated the highest radical scavenging activity with 74.32±8.45 μg/ml. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity was carried out to evaluate the inhibitory activity of sugar digestion and absorption and 60, 80% MeOH extract exhibited 416.35±11.07 μg/ml and 336.57±2.03 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion : The DPPH radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity were evaluated in this study. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was seen in 80% Citrus grandis Osbeck MeOH extract, following 60% MeOH extract exhibited the second highest scavenging activity. Also, 80% MeOH extract showed 336.57±2.03 μg/ml, which was the highest α-glucosidase inhibition among all extracts.

Sung, Nack-Kie,Ko, Hack-Ryong,Kho, Yung-Hee,Chun, Hyo-Kon,Chung, Young-Chul 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 1989 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.17 No.4
최초로 구축된 $\beta$-xylosidase 유전자 함유 5.0kb HindIII 절편을 포함하는 pAX278의 Insert 크기를 줄이기 위하여 subcloning을 행한 결과, 1.4kb EcoRI-XbaI 절편이 subcloning되었으며 이를 pAK 208로 명하였다. Plasmid pAX208에 의해 형질전환된 대장균은 $\beta$-xylosidase 활성이 pAX278의 경우보다 약 1.3배 증가하였고 또한, $\beta$-xylosidase의 활성을 증가시키기 위하여 강력한 tac-promoter를 가진 pKK223-3 plasmid vector를 이용하여 대장균에 cloning 및 발현시켰을 때, pAX278을 가진 대장균 형질전환체와 유전자 source균인 호알칼리성 Bacillus속 K-17에 비하여 각각 약 3.3배 및 1.8배의 효소활성 증가를 나타내었다. 전체 5.0kb HindIII 절편을 cloning하여 Bacillus속 K-17에 발현시킨 균주는 각각 3.7배 및 2.0배의 $\beta$-xylosidase 활성증가를 보였다. 각 형질전환체로부터 정제된 $\beta$-xylosidase의 효소학적 특성은 Bacillus속 K-17과 거의 일치하였다. To reduce the size of 5.0kb HindIII fragment containing $\beta$-xylosidase gene, the 5.0kb insert of pAX278 which was previously cloned was reduced by various deletions and thus 1.4kb EcoRI-Xbal fragment was subcloned into pUC19, and the recombinant plasmid was named pAK208. The $\beta$-xylosidase acnivity of E. coli harboring pAK208 was higher about 1.3times than that of pAX278. For the improvement of $\beta$-xylosidase activity, we cloned and expressed the $\beta$-xylosidase gene in E. coli using vector pKK223-3 containing a potent tac-promoter, and enzyme activity of the transformant harboring pKHR212 was increased about 3.3 and 1.8 times than that of E. coli(pAX278) and Bacillus sp. K-17, respectively. To obtain better expression of $\beta$-xylosidase gene, the whole 5.0kb HineIII fragment was recloned into pC194, and the Bacillus sp. K-17 transformant harbor-ing the recombinant plasmid pCX174 showed higher activity than that of the E. coli (pAX278) and Bacillus sp. K-17, respectively. The characteristics of enzyme purified from transformants were consistent with those front alkalophilic Bacillus sp, K-17.

Statins are competitive inhibitors of hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and used most frequently to reduce plasma cholesterol levels and to decrease cardiovascular events. However, statins also have been reported to have undesirable side effects such as myotoxicity and hepatotoxicity associated with their intrinsic efficacy mechanisms. Clinical studies recurrently reported that statin therapy elevated the level of liver enzymes such as ALT and AST in patients suggesting possible liver toxicity due to statins. This observation has been drawn great attention since statins are the most prescribed drugs and statin-therapy was extended to a larger number of high-risk patients. Here we employed rat primary hepatocytes and microarray technique to understand underlying mechanism responsible for statin-induced liver toxicity on cell level. We isolated genes whose expressions were commonly modulated by statin treatments and examined their biological functions. It is of interest that those genes have function related to response to stress in particular immunity and defense in cells. Our study provided the basic information on cellular mechanism of statin-induced cytotoxicity and may serve for finding indicator genes of statin -induced toxicity in rat primary hepatocytes.
