Objectives : In this study, the authors evaluated the correlation between eurocognitive impairments and serum lipids levels among Korean elderly over the age of 65. Methods : A total of 609 elderly individuals participated in this study. Screening for cognitive impairments were carried out using the Mini-Mental Status Examination-Korean version (MMSE-KC). There were 197 subjects above 1.5SD Of MMSE- KC and they were evaluated using the Korean versions of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) (CERAD-KC) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-K). Results : There was a correlation between old age/low levels of education and AD (p<0.05, P<0.01). There was an inverse correlation between the serum level of total cholesterol and the word list recognition test scores. The serum levels of LDL cholesterol were inversely correlated with the scores on the constructional praxis test, word list recall test and word list recognition test. Inverse correlations between the serum level of triglyceride and scores on the word list recall test and word list recognition test were also observed. Conclusion : There were inverse correlations between the serum levels of lipids and language/memory function in subjects with AD.

연구목적 ' 항경련제인 valproic acid가 초기계태의 신경관 형성에 영향을 주는 기형유발에 대해 입체현미경하에서 관찰하였다 연구재 료 및 방법 : 백색의 Leghorn의 신선한 수정란을 30-35시간 동안 배양하여 Hamburger & Hamilton 기 5-10기의 초기 계태를 천공 필터를 이용하여 분리하여 6-30시간 동안 CO2 세포 배양기에서 배양하였고 무작위로 대조군과 실험군을 분류하였다. 실험군은 valproic acid 의 RPMI culture media 의 농도에 따라 100 ㎍/㎖, 200 ㎍/㎖, 500 ㎍/㎖, 1000 ㎍/㎖ 네가지 군으로 분리하였다. 각각의 대조군과 valproic acid를 처치한 실험군에서 입체 현미경하에서 초기계태의 신경관 형성의 형태학적인 특징과 기형형성의 빈도를 비교하였다. 결과: valproic acid가 없는 RPMI media에서 배양된 대조군은 24개의 계태는 22(91.7%)개는 정상으로 자랐으며 2(8.3%)개는 비정상으로 자랐다 이에 반하여 valproic acid가 처치된 RPMI media에서 배양된 72개의 계태는 42(58.3%)개가 비정상으로 자랐다. 주로 확인된 이상 형태는 신경주름의 변형. 신경관 폐쇄부전, 체절의 장애 및 발육 정지 등 이었다. 계태의 기형 형성은 valproic acid의 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. valproic acrid 의 농도가 100 ㎍/㎖인 경우 18개 계태 중 2(11.1%)개에서 경미한 신경관 기형이 나타났으며 200 ㎍/㎖인 경우 18개 계태 중 11(61,1%)개는 정상, 7(38.9%)개는 명백한 신경관 기형이 나타났으며 500 ㎍/㎖인 경우 18개의 계태 중 5(27.8%)개는 정상. 13(72.2%)개는 명백한 신경관 기형을 나타냈다. 1000 ㎍/㎖인 경우 18(100%)개 모두 심한 신경관 기형이 나타났다. 결론: valproic acid는 초기계태에서 신경관 기형을 유발 했는데 저농도에서는 일부 경미한 신경관 이상을 보였고 고농도에서는 대부분 심한 신경관 손상을 동반하고 성장 속도가 둔화되어 약 용량의 증가에 따라 기형이 증가되는 dose-dependent manner 로 그 영향이 나타났다. Purpose : The teratogeruc effects of valproic acid widely used as anticonvulsant on the neurulation of the explanted eraly chick embryos were observed by the stereoscope. Materials and Methods: Fresh fertilized white leghorn hen eggs were incubated for 30-35 hours in an e99 incubator. The Hamburger and Hamilton stage 5-10 chick embryos were explanted using the punched-out filter paper explantation technique and cultured in the CO2 cell culture incubator for 6-30 hours. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group was divided into four subgroups according to the valproic acid concentrations of 100 ㎍/㎖, 200 ㎍/㎖, 500 ㎍/㎖, 1000 ㎍/㎖ with which the RPMI culture media were treated. The morphological characteristics and the incidences of teratogenic effects on the neurulation of early chick embryos in the control and experimental groups were compared with each other using the stereomicroscope. Results : Of the 24 chick embryos cultured in the RPMI media without valproic acrid, 22 embryos(91.7%) developed normally, and 2 embryos (8.3%) developed abnormally, in contrast, among 72 embryos cultured in the valproic acrid-treated media, 42 embryos(58.3%) developed abnormally. The frequent anomalous features were deformities of the neural folds, failure of neural tube closure, derangement of somites, and developmental arrest. Of 18 embryos cultured in the media treated each with 100㎍/㎖ of valproic acid, 2 embryos(11.1%) showed mild abnormality of neural tube defect on stereoscopic examination. Of 18 embryos cultured 7l the media treated each with 200㎍/㎖ of valproic acid, 11 embryos(61.1%) developed normally for 20 hours and 7 embryos (38.9%) showed definite neural tube defect. Of 18 embryos cultured in the media 7reated each with 500㎍/㎖ of vaIprolc acid, 5 embryos(27.8%) developed normally (or 20 hours and 13 embryos (72.2% ) showed definite neural tube defect. Of 18 embryos cultured in the media treated each with 1000㎍/㎖ of valproic acid, 1 embryo developed normally for 4 hours but all embryos (100%) showed severe neural tube defect on whole brain after 8 hours of culture. Conclusion : Valproic acid induced mild neural tube defects in low concentration and in high concentration of valproic acid, most chick embryos developed slowly and showed severe neral tube defects. The frequency and severity of abnormal embryos ulcreased in dose-dependent manner.

김동주,윤유영,하상도,박기환 中央大學校 食糧資源硏究所 2003 食糧資源硏究所 論文集 Vol.15 No.1

오존은 염소보다 1.5배나 강한 산화제이고 염소나 다른 소독제에 비해 여러 종류의 미생물에 대해 살균 효과를 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 신선채소류로부터 인체에 유해한 병원균 등 미생물 오염을 감소시키거나 제거하여 최소가공 신선 과채류의 안전성을 향상시킬 수 있는 효과적인 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 상추, 깻잎, 당근, 고구마의 오존의 미생물 제어 효과를 평가하기 위해 세척 시간에 따 른 일반세균, Bacillus cereus,대장균 및 대 장균군, 포자형성균의 변화를 관찰하였다. 상추는 총호기성균이 6.32 log CFU/g, coliform은 3.36 log CFU/g 그리고 포자 형성균은 2.92 log CFU/g 검출되었다. 깻잎은 총호기성균이 5.36 log CFU/g, coliform은 3.88 log CFU/g 그리고 포자 형성균은 2.62 log CFU/g 검출되었다. 당근은 총호기성균이 7.34 log CFU/g, coliform은 3.49 log CFU/g 그리고 포자 형성균은 3.57 log CFU/g 검출되었다. 고구마는 총호기성균이 7.82 log CFU/g, coliform은 3.15 log CFU/g 그리고 포자형 성균은 3.30 log CFU/g 검출되었다. E. coli와 B. cereus는 모든 시료에서 불검출 되었다(검출한계: <10 cells/g). 미생물수는 세척시간에 따라 3분까지는 감소하였고, 그 이후에는 거의 변화가 없었다. 오존 처리에 의한 총호기성균의 살균효과는 상추의 경우 약 3 log, 깻잎은 약 2 log, 당근은 약 3 log 그리고 고구마는 약 2 log 감소하였다. coliforms은 모든 시료에서 약 2 log 감소 하는 것으로 나타났다. 포자형성균은 1분 이상의 세척 처리 후에는 불검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 결과는 오존이 신선채소류의 미생물, 특히 포자형성균을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있음을 제시함으로서, 신선채소류 처리에 있어 오존이 기존 살균 소독제를 대신하여 사용될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. Ozone is an oxidizing agent, which is 1.5 times stronger than chlorine and is effective over a much wider spectrum of microorganisms than chlorine and other disinfectants. The objective of this study was to propose an effective condition to improve the safety of fresh vegetables, which could reduce and eliminate human pathogens from fresh products. Microbial contamination levels in fresh vegetables such as lettuce, sesame leaf, carrot and sweet potato were evaluated and the variation of microorganisms was observed during washing in order to evaluate the effect of ozone on the control of microorganisms in fresh vegetables with time. Target microorganisms were APC, B. cereus, coliforms, E. coli and spore-forming microorganisms. The results of the total cell count of general microbes were in the range of 5.36 (sesame leaf) - 7.82 (sweet potato), coliforms 3.15 (sweet potato) - 3.88 (sesame leaf) and spore-forming group was 2.62 (sesame leaf) - 3.57 (carrot) log CFU/g while E. coli and B. cereus were not detected at the detection limit (<10<윗첨자>1</윗첨자>) in raw materials. The number of microorganisms were reduced with treatment time to 3 mins in the magnitude of 2-3 log reduction and little changed to 5 mins. About 3 log reduction of general microbes was achieved in lettuce, 2 log in sesame leaf, 3 log in carrot and 2 log in sweet potato. Coliforms were reduced about 2 log in tested samples. Ozone was found to be very effective to eliminate the spore-forming group from fresh vegetables, which was not detected after 1 min treatment. These results suggest that the ozone is effective to reduce microorganisms from fresh vegetables, especially very effective on the spore-forming microorganisms and thus could be used as an alternative to traditional sanitizers for fresh produce.

Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) emerged in many parts of the world and increased complex clinical problems. Therefore, new agents are needed to treat the antibiotic-resistant S. aureus. Some natural products are candidates of new antibiotic substances. Previous reports showed that the extract of Coptidis Rhizoma and Phellodendri Cortex have antimicrobial effects. The main antibacterial substance of Coptidis Rhizoma and Phellodendri Cortex is berberine. In this study, we examined the antimicrobial activity of berberine to antibiotic-resistant S. aureus. We isolated the 13 strains of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus from the oral cavity of healthy children in a preschool, and investigated the antimicrobial activity of berberine. We examined the effects of berberine on the level of resistance to antibiotic-resistant S. aureus. We observed that the invasion of S. aureus into human gingival fibroblasts was blocked by berberine. Berberine inhibited the growth of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus as a dosw dependent maner. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of berberine against antibiotic-resistant S. aureus was 50∼100㎍/㎖. The inhibition of S. aureus invasion was depended on the concentration of berberine in human gingival fibroblasts. The MIC of ampicillin against antibiotic-resistant S. aureus was 32㎍/㎖. However, the MIC of ampicillin against antibiotic-resistant S. aureus in the presence of 50㎍/㎖ berberine was 1㎍/㎖. These data indicate that the combination with berberine and β-lactam antibiotics resulted in the synergistic reaction. These results suggest that the berberine may have the antimicrobial activities to antibiotic-resistnat S. aureus, and the mechanism may be the inhibition of growth and intracellular invasion, and alteration of antibiotic-resistance level of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus.

Background: Thyroid hormone has been known to affect hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity. Although the liver is the principal site of ethanol metabolism, stomach is also responsible in part for ethanol oxidation. The effects of thyroid hormone on ADH activity in gastric mucosa and other tissues of rats had not been previously examined. Method: The effects of thyroid hormone on liver, stomach, lung, and kidney ADH activities (nM of NADH/min/mg of cytosolic protein) have been investigated in male Sprague Dawley rats treated with propylthiouracil (50 mg/kg) for 14 days. Results: Whereas hepatic ADH activities were not changed by treatment with PTU(42.9(8.6 vs 45.2 (10.1), gastric ADH activities in PTU-treated rats increased by 258.8% of control rat (6.3 ( 0.6 vs 2.2 ( 1.2, p〈0.001). In the activities of other tissues, PTU treatment decreased lung ADH activity by 59.7% of control, and increased kidney ADH activities by 247.1% of control rats. Conclusion: These data suggest that hypothyroidism causes an increase of gastric alcohol metabolism, and that the increase of gastric ADH activity can partly restore the first pass metabolism of ethanol in hypothyroid rats.

Bacillus stearothermophilus KJ16이 생산하는 Cyclodextrinase의 정제와 효소특성

김병우,권현주,유동주 동의대학교 기초과학연구소 1999 基礎科學硏究論文集 Vol.9 No.1

Cyclodextrinase from B. stearothermophilus KJ16 that can produce both cyclodextrin(CD) glucanotransferase and cyclodextrinase was purified 87.6-fold with 7% yield by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-100 chromatography, and FPLC. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was about 68,000 dalton by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH and temperature were 6.0 and 55℃, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 50℃ for 2 hr and in the pH range of 5.5 and 8.5. The enzyme activity was inhibited strongly by mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-bromosuccinimide, Cu^+2 and Hg^+2. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed CDs with γ-CD$gt;β-CD$gt;α-CD. The enzyme also hydroylzed linear maltodextrins and polysaccharieds, but the rates of hydrolysis for such substrates were slow as compared to that for γ-CD. The final degradation products with all substrates were maltose and glucose. Maltose was not further hydrolyzed.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program developed for nutritionally imbalanced adolescents. A summer nutrition camp was held for 23 overweight and 16 underweight subjects. Its effectiveness with regard to was evaluated at the end of the camp and 6 months later. Nutrition knowledge, nutritional attitude, food behavior, nutrient intake, exercise habit and ideal body figures desired by the subjects. The results showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge scores at the end of the camp as compared to those obtained prior to the camp program, and these scores were maintained for at least six months. Nutrition attitude scores also improved after the education program, and these improved scores also lasted for 6 months. However, the food behavior scores measured 6 months after the education program were not significantly different from those obtained prior to the camp. Also, the exercise habit, the ideal body figures and the body figures desired by the subjects remained unchanged. When nutrient intakes of subjects were assessed before the program and 6 months later, the mean daily vitamin C intake was significantly increased after the education program. Also, the intake of iron from plant food sources increased in the overweight subjects, while less iron from animal source were consumed by the underweight subjects. Both groups tended to consume more vegetables and fruits 6 months after the education program which may have contribute to the higher vitamin C and plant-based iron intakes. These results indicate that a 4-day nutrition education camp program sustained changes in nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude for 6 months. The increased intake of vegetables and fruits was also achieved through this education program. However, changes in dietary behavior in adolescents may require repeated education.

Changes in hippocalcin expression in cortical neurons and glial cells by epigallocatechin gallate administration in an animal model of stroke

Ju-Bin Kang(Ju-Bin Kang),Dong-Ju Park(Dong-Ju Park),Jae-You Kim(Jae-You Kim),Hyeun-Gyoung(Hyeun-Gyoung ),Phil-Ok Koh(Phil-Ok Koh) 한국예방수의학회 2023 예방수의학회지 Vol.47 No.2

Ischemic stroke causes brain damage and neuronal cell death by depriving oxygen and nutrients and releasing excessive levels of glutamate and intracellular calcium. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic compound present in green tea. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. Hippocalcin is a calcium binding protein that regulates calcium concentration, neuronal differentiation, neuronal excitability, and neuronal cell death. In this study, we investigated whether EGCG regulates the expression of hippocalcin in neurons and astrocytes after focal cerebral ischemia. Cerebral ischemia was induced by meddle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). EGCG (50 mg/kg) or PBS was injected into the abdominal cavity just before MCAO surgery. Neurobehavioral tests were performed to evaluate the effect of EGCG on neurological behavioral deficits 24 h after MCAO surgery. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to evaluate the positive response to hippocalcin in the cerebral cortex after MCAO surgery. We also detected the positive reactions of neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as markers of neuron and astrocyte, respectively. MCAO caused severe neurological impairment and EGCG treatment attenuated these impairments. MCAO damage reduced the number of NeuN-positive cells and increased the number of GFAP-positive cells. This result indicates a decrease in neurons and an increase in astrocytes. However, EGCG alleviated these changes caused by MCAO damage. MCAO reduced the number of hippocalcin-positive cells in neurons and astrocytes, and EGCG treatment attenuated these reductions. Hippocalcin exerts neuroprotective effect through regulating intracellular calcium concentration. In conclusion, EGCG regulates the expression of hippocalcin in neurons and astrocytes and has neuroprotective effects in focal cerebral ischemia.
