<P>Transfection with either hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) or heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene can induce neovascularization in ischemic tissues. Although expression of transfected HIF-1α gene occurs rapidly, the expressed HIF-1α protein degrades quickly, limiting its therapeutic efficacy. Meanwhile, expressed HO-1 protein does not rapidly undergo degradation, but gene expression occurs a couple of days after transfection, resulting in apoptosis and a delay in angiogenesis in ischemic tissues at the incipient period of HO-1 gene transfection. We hypothesize that combined delivery of HIF-1α and HO-1 gene will enhance antiapoptosis and neovascularization in ischemic tissue compared with HIF-1α or HO-1 single-gene therapy. To test this hypothesis, ischemic mouse hindlimbs were treated with HIF-1α and/or HO-1 gene therapy. The combined gene therapy proved superior to both single-gene therapies, resulting in rapid expression of HIF-1α gene and long-term maintenance of expressed HO-1 protein. The apoptosis in the ischemic region was significantly less, and angiogenic growth factor secretion and angiogenesis were greater in the combined gene therapy than in either of the single-gene therapies. Our results suggest that a combined gene therapy of HIF-1α and HO-1 enhances the transfection of both genes and improves angiogenesis compared with either single-gene therapy.</P>

Toxic hepatitis has been reported as a major cause of acute hepatitis, but its potential induction by herbal remedies and/or health foods is usually neglected. We experienced a case of toxic hepatitis associated with Polygoni multiflori, a Chinese herb commonly known as Ho-Shou-Wu. A 54-year-old woman consumed Ho-Shou-Wu for 1 month, after which she experienced fatigue and overall weakness. A diagnosis of toxic hepatitis was made based on her clinical history, the findings for viral markers and other laboratory data, and ultrasonography. Her condition improved considerably after she stopped taking Ho-Shou-Wu. However, she resumed taking Ho-Shou-Wu immediately after discharge from hospital, which aggravated her symptoms and liver function. She was immediately readmitted and stopped taking Ho-Shou-Wu. Her relapse into hepatitis immediate after resuming consumption of the herb is strongly indicative of the validity of Koch`s postulate in this case.

초고진공 상태에서 p형 Si(111)기판에 Ti을 증착한 후 고진공에서 열처리하여 Ti-실리사이드를 형성시켰으며, Ti-실리사이드의 상전이 및 형성운동학은 2 MeV⁴He? 이온 후방산란과 x-선 회절방법으로 규명하였다. 형성된 TiSi₂는 결정학적으로 C49(ZrSi₂)와 C54 구조의 두 종류로 확인되었다. C49 TiSi₂상은 열처리온도가 700℃이하의 저온에서 형성되었고, 700℃ 이상의 고온에서는 C54 TiSi₂상으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 확인된 C54 TiSi₂전이온도(??)는 700℃ 였고, TiSi₂형성온도 영역내에서 TiSi₂ 층두께(χ)와 열처리시간(t)의 관계는 저온(700℃ 이하)일 경우 ??이고, 고온(750℃ 이상)에서는 χ=ct+d 의 관계식이 만족됨을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 700℃ 이하에서 TiSi₂ 형성기구가 Si 확산에 의해 제어되며, 750℃ 이상에서는 핵형성 제어에 의하여 계면반응하는 것으로 나타났다. Titanium silicides were prepared by depositing titanium film on p-type Si(111) followed by annealing in ultra high vacuum. The growth kinetics of Ti-silicide has been studied by using ion backscattering spectrometry and x-ray diffractometry. Two crystallographic structures of Ti-silicide were identified the (ZrSi₂)structure and C54. The C49 TiSi₂ phase was formed at low annealing temperature(<700℃),and it transformed to the C54 phase over 700℃. The relation between the thickness of TiSi₂ layer(χ) and the annealing time(t) was ?? when annealing temperature was under 700℃ and χ=ct+d when that was over 750℃. The former implied that the formation of TiSi₂ was controlled by diffusion and the latter by nucleation of at the Ti/Si(111) interface.

No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

3,4,5-Trihydroxycinnamic acid (THC) is a derivative of hydroxycinnamic acids, which have been reported to possess a variety of biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and neuroprotective activities. However, biological activity of THC has not been extensively examined. Recently, we reported that THC possesses anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. However, its precise mechanism by which THC exerts anti-inflammatory action has not been clearly identified. Therefore, the present study was carried out to understand the anti-inflammatory mechanism of THC in BV2 microglial cells. THC effectively suppressed the LPS-induced induction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as NO, TNF-a, and IL-1b. THC also suppressed expression of MCP-1, which plays a key role in the migration of activated microglia. To understand the underlying mechanism by which THC exerts these anti-inflammatory properties, involvement of Nrf2, which is a cytoprotective transcription factor, was examined. THC resulted in increased phosphorylation of Nrf2 with consequent expression of HO-1 in a concentration-dependent manner. THC-induced phosphorylation of Nrf2 was blocked with SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, indicating that p38 MAPK is the responsible kinase for the phosphorylation of Nrf2. Taken together, the present study for the first time demonstrates that THC exerts anti-inflammatory properties through the activation of Nrf2 in BV2 microglial cells, suggesting that THC might be a valuable therapeutic adjuvant for the treatment of inflammation-related disorders in the CNS.

A 36-year old woman with end stage renal failure and hypertension was transferred from a university hospital to our emergency department due to a enlarging right cervical mass associated with a palpable thrill and a bruit. Over a 2 month period, she required hemodialysis for severe azotemia at a university hospital in Seoul. 3 days after a difficult attempt at a internal jugular cannulation, she developed a progressive swelling in the right lower cervical area. An arch and primary branch arteriogram revealed a arteriovenous fistula between right innominate artery and internal jugular vein with a large intervening pseudoaneurysm. She underwent vascular surgery within 1 week of injury and subsequent postoperative angiogram showed complete resolution of the fistula. This rare condition is reported with a review of the literature.

이지훈,육완이,양호연,하종현 대한방사선 방어학회 2002 방사선방어학회지 Vol.27 No.2

원자력발전소에서 주로 발생되는 금속폐기물인 탄소강을 중성염전해질인 1.7M의 황산나트륨(Na₂SO₄)과 질산나트륨(NaNO₃)을 이용하여 기존전해제염과 개선된 전해제염공정의 비교실험을 수행하였다. 양극은 인코넬, 음극은 티타늄으로 하여 상온에서 1시간동안 반응시켜 금속폐기물 모재의 weight loss, 두께변화, 전해질 내 침전물농도, SEM을 이용하여 제염전후의 금속폐기물 표면의 형상을 분석하였다. 실험결과 개선된 전해제염 적용시 전해질 종류별 전류밀도 변화에 따른 실험에서는 전류밀도가 0.1∼0.6A/cm²으로 증가함에 따라 1.7M의 황산나트륨 적용시 금속폐기물 모재의 두께변화는 0.48±0.005∼67.7±0.02um, 1.7M의 질산나트륨 적용시에는 0.06±0.005∼17.7±0.05로 나타나 같은 전류밀도에서 황산나트륨 적용시 금속폐기물 모재의 표면 제염효율이 더욱 높은 양상을 보였다. 또한 전류밀도 0.3 A/cm² 및 1.7M의 황산나트륨의 조건에서 개선된 전해제염 적용 시 9.8±0.01um의 금속폐기물 두께변화를 보여 기존전해제염 적용시인 3.7±0.03um의 금속폐기물 두께변화보다 2배 이상의 표면 제염효과를 보였다. Conventional and modified electrolytic decontamination experiment were performed in the 1.7 M solution of sodium sulfate and sodium nitrate for decontamination of carbon steel as the simulated metal wastes which have been produced in large amounts from nuclear power plants. Anode and cathode were used as inconel and titanium respectively. The reaction time and temperature were 1 hr and 25℃. The analyses were performed of the characteristics such as weight loss and thickness change of metal waste, suspended solid in electrolyte and SEM observation. In modified electrolyte decontamination system with increased current density ranged from 0.1 to 0.6 A/cm², the metal waste showed thickness changes of 0.48±0.005 to 67.7±0.02um in 1.7 M sodium sulfate and those of 0.06±0.005 to 17.7±0.05um in sodium nitrate. Metal waste in modified electrolyte decontamination system showed the thickness change of 9.8±0.01um while it reacted up to 3.7±0.03um in conventional system with 0.3 A/cm² of current density and 1.7 M sodium sulfate. Decontamination efficiencies of modified electrolytic process are much higher than that of conventional electrolytic process when both are applied to metal waste.
