Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the contents of constituents in Samultang and its fermentations with 10 species of lactic acid bacteria. Methods: Ten strains of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus casei, L. acidophilus , L. casei, L. plantarum, L. amylophilus, L. curvatus, L. delbruekil subsp. lactis, L. casei , B. breve, and B. thermophilum, were used for the fermentation of Samultang. The increased and decreased constituents were identified using HPLC/DAD and various liquid chromatographic techniques, and the structure was elucidated using NMR and MS. These compounds were quantitatively analyzed using an HPLC/DAD system. Results: A remarkably increased component was identified to be nodakenetin and a decreased component was determined to be nodakenin. The fermentation of the ten lactic acid bacteria demonstrated that the decomposable rate of these two compounds in fermented Samultang were different. Samultang fermented by L. plantarum showed the most remarkable changes. Conclusion: Nodakenetin was identified as bioconversion component after fermentation and L. plantarum was discovered the best bacteria to increase the component.

In environmental studies, decisions are often made on the analytical data indicating certain contaminants as being "detected" or "non-detectible." Since detection limits are analytical method specific, one has to first review the concepts and definitions associated with analytical method systems and specifications. In this study, the experimental analytical values for a series of low level standards (for an ionic species) were used as an example to estimate two different method detection limits (MDL). The scores of EPA's MOL and Pallesen's MDL determined by real analytical scores are 0.0575 and 0.0561 mg/L, respectively for our nitrate data. These scores determined by two different MDL models are roughly similar, while there are apparent differences between two methods with respect to statistical and systematical procedure. However, detennination of MDL for one's laboratory provides some practical applications which helps to assure one's regulating authorities that one's measured scores are accurate.

To study the characteristics of ammonia and the related compounds, atmospheric aerosols and gases were collected using a triple filter pack sampler, a low volume air sampler, and a three-stage Andersen air sampler in Seoul and Kangwha Island, Korea from Dec. 1996 to Oct. 1997. Ammonia concentrations showed approximately two times higher in summer than in winter at both sites. The highest HNO₃ levels were generally observed in summertime at two sampling sites. The average mass concentration of PM_2.5 in heavily industrialized Seoul was about three times higher than that of Kangwha. In winter, the sum of NH₄^+ and its counter ions (such as CI^-, NO₃^-, and S0₄²^-) comprised 30-41% of PM_2.5 mass concentration at each sampling site. Temperature dependence of particulate nitrate was examined at the urban sampling site. The formation of the nitrate in the fine mode was dependent not only on the amount of precursors but also on the variation of temperature. (NH₄)S0₄and NH₄HS0₄coexisted with NH₄NO₃and NH₄Cl at each site. According to the summertime backward trajectory analysis. NO₃- showed higher level with air parcels transported from northeast Asian continent. On the other hand, the concentration of SO₄²- showed significantly higher level when air masses originated from Pacific Ocean, southern part of Japan. and Korea.

A Novel Herbal Medicine KIOM-MA Exerts an Anti-Inflammatory Effect in LPS-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophage Cells

Oh, You-Chang,Cho, Won-Kyung,Jeong, Yun Hee,Im, Ga Young,Kim, Aeyung,Hwang, Youn-Hwan,Kim, Taesoo,Song, Kwang Hoon,Ma, Jin Yeul Hindawi Publishing Corporation 2012 Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medic Vol.2012 No.-

<P>KIOM-MA was recently reported as a novel herbal medicine effective for atopic dermatitis and asthma. In this study, we have demonstrated the inhibitory effect of KIOM-MA on proinflammatory mediator produced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. KIOM-MA significantly inhibited the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) as well as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E<SUB>2</SUB> (PGE<SUB>2</SUB>). Consistent with the inhibitory effect on PGE<SUB>2</SUB>, KIOM-MA suppresses the LPS-induced migration of macrophages and gelatinase activity and the expression of matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, KIOM-MA showed a strong suppressive effect on the inflammatory cytokines production such as tumor necrosis factor-<I><I>α</I></I> (TNF-<I><I>α</I></I>) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). We also found that KIOM-MA inhibits the activation of nuclear factor-<I><I>κ</I></I>B (NF-<I><I>κ</I></I>B) and represses the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun NH<SUB>2</SUB>-terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Taken together, we elucidated the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of KIOM-MA using RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by LPS.</P>

Background/Aims: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has a prognostic value in cardiovascular disease, infection, inflammatory disease, and several malignancies. Therefore, the NLR has a possible predictive value in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but this predictive value has not been validated. Here, we aimed to investigate the possibility of NLR as a predictor of CKD progression. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 141 patients with non-dialysis CKD. The participants were divided into terciles (T1, T2, and T3) according to NLR. The primary outcome was defined as a composite kidney event, which included a decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 50% or initiation of renal replacement therapy during the follow-up period. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 5.45 ± 2.11 years. The mean NLRs were 1.35 ± 0.05 in T1 (n = 47), 2.16 ± 0.04 in T2 (n = 47), and 4.29 ± 0.73 in T3 (n = 47). The group with the highest NLR (T3) had higher baseline CKD and serum creatinine and lower eGFR levels than the group with the lowest NLR (T1). The cumulative incidence rate of composite kidney events was significantly higher in T3 compared with T1 (p < 0.001, log-rank test). Cox regression analysis revealed that high NLR was associated with the risk of composite kidney events (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.43-7.76). Conclusions: A higher NLR reflects the more advanced stage of CKD and suggests a role for NLR as a biomarker for predicting CKD progression.

Snail maintains metastatic potential, cancer stem-like properties, and chemoresistance in mesenchymal mouse breast cancer TUBO-P2J cells

Ma, Sun Young,Park, Jin-Hee,Jung, Hana,Ha, Sung-Min,Kim, Yeonye,Park, Dong Hyen,Lee, Deuk Hee,Lee, Sooyong,Chu, In-Ho,Jung, So Young,Kim, Il-Hwan,Choi, Il-Whan,Choi, Chang Soo,Park, Saegwang Spandidos Publications 2017 ONCOLOGY REPORTS Vol.38 No.3

<P>Snail, a zinc-finger transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin expression, is one of the key inducers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial cancer. In breast cancer, EMT has been associated with malignancies, including metastasis, cancer stem-like properties, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we analysed the role of Snail in the highly metastatic mesenchymal TUBO-P2J mouse breast cancer cells, by loss of function using short hairpin RNA. Though silencing Snail did not restore the E-cadherin expression or induce morphological changes, Snail silencing significantly ablated in vitro and in vivo metastatic potentials. In addition, Snail silencing also reduced resistance to chemotherapy drugs and cancer stem-like properties, such as CD44 expression, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, colony formation, and in vivo tumour formation and growth. However, radioresistance was not decreased by silencing Snail. Collectively, this study suggested that Snail is a main regulator of the maintenance of malignancy potentials and is a good target to prevent cancer metastasis and to increase chemotherapy susceptibility.</P>

Chemical Properties of Indoor Individual Particles Collected at the Daily Behavior Spaces of a Factory Worker

Ma, Chang-Jin,Kang, Gong-Unn,Sakai, Takuro Korean Society for Atmospheric Environment 2017 Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment (AJAE) Vol.10 No.2

The main purpose of the study was to clarify the properties of individual particles collected at each behavior space of a factory worker. The samplings of size-segregated ($PM_{2.1-1.1}$ and $PM_{4.7-3.3}$) indoor particles were conducted at three different behavior spaces of a factory worker who is engaged in an auto parts manufacturing plant (i.e., his home, his work place in factory, and his favorite restaurant). Elemental specification (i.e., relative elemental content and distribution in and/or on individual particles) was performed by a micro-PIXE system. Every element detected from the coarse particulate matters of home was classified into three groups, i.e., a group of high net-counts (Na, Al, and Si), a group of intermediate net-counts (Mg, S, Cl, K, and Ca), and a group of minor trace elements (P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb). The results of EF for $PM_{4.7-3.3}$ in home indicated that several heavy metals were generated from the sources within the house itself. An exceptional feature shown in the individual particles in workplace is that Cr, Mn, and Co were clearly detected in both fine and coarse particles. Cluster analysis suggested that the individual coarse particles ($PM_{4.7-3.3}$) collected at the indoor of factory were chemically heterogeneous and they modified with sea-salt, mineral, and artificially derived elements. The principal components in individual coarse particles collected at restaurant were sea-salt and mineral without mixing with harmful trace elements like chromium and manganese. Compared to the indoor fine particles of home and restaurant, many elements, especially, Cl, Na, Cr, Mn, Pb, and Zn showed overwhelmingly high net-counts in those of factory.
