Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease that often has asthma and allergic rhinitis. Magnesium salts, the important component of minerals in Dead Sea water, are known to exhibit beneficial effects in inflammatory disease. Favorable effects of magnesium ions and sea water treated to the skin of patients with contact dermatitis have been reported. But histological and immunological investigations are insufficient. This study was performed to examine the inhibitory effect of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on the development of AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. AD-like skin lesions are induced by the repeated application of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Local application of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on hairless mice skin applied with DNCB inhibited the development of AD-like skin lesions as exemplified by a significant increase in skin hydration (p<0.01), and a decrease in epidermal water loss (p<0.01). Serum IgE level was also significantly decreased (p<0.01). These results suggest that magnesiumrich sea mineral water inhibits the development of DNCB-induced AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. These observations indicate that magnesium-rich sea mineral water may be alternative and assistant substances for the management of AD. 아토피성 피부염은 주로 천식과 비염 등을 동반하는, 주위에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 만성 염증성 피부질환으로 유전학적, 환경적, 면역학적 요인이 복잡하게 연관되어 발병한다. 해수에 포함된 마그네슘염은 피부에 작용하여 피부장벽을 보호하는 것으로 알려지고 그에 대한 면역학적인 연구와 조직학적 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 피부염을 인위적으로 일으키는 hapten 형성물질인 DNCB를 hairless mice에 도포하여 아토피 피부염 동물 모델로 만든 후, 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수를 처리한 후 피부장벽에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. DNCB로 피부염을 유발한 hairless mice에 해양미네랄수를 국소적으로 도포하였을 때 유의한 피부수분함량이 증가와 경피수분손실의 감소를 확인하였다 (p<0.01). 피부측정에서 피부거칠기(skin roughness, p<0.05)와 스케일생성 (skin scaliness, p<0.01)은 실험군에서 유의한 개선효과를 나타내었으며 조직학적 검사에서도 피부손상지수의 유의한 감소 (p<0.01)와 비만세포와 (p<0.01) 호산구의 감소(p<0.05) 소견을 보였고 또한 혈청 IgE의 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.01). 이상과 같이 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수 도포는 피부장벽의 손상을 줄이고 피부수분손실을 효과적으로 줄임으로 아토피성 피부염 증상 유발을 억제할수 있음을 확인하였다. 현재까지 아토피성 피부염의 관리를 위하여 세라마이드나 식물성 오일의 보습제가 주로 활용되고 있는 상황에서 부가적인 피부장벽의 보호를 위하여 탈염 해양 미네랄수의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며 장기적으로 아토피 피부염치료의 대체, 혹은 보조적 물질로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

高齡化社會와 都市公共施設의 整備方向

金炳良 단국대학교 1995 論文集 Vol.29 No.-

According to the recent population census, the number of elderly population of over 65 years old is expected to increase from 5.5% of total national population in 1994 to 7% in the year 2000. This indicates that Korea is approaching to an aging society in the near future. The aging or our society is likely to bring about various changes considering the unique characteristic of the elderly population such as labor shortage, heavy social burden of supporting older age groups, and transformation of family structure. The elderly are different from other age groups in several aspects. Above all, they tend to be frail and weak as well as vulnerable to socio-economic changes. As a result, the increase in the number of elderly in Korea will deter the social development of our country in the future. So far, the government policies and academic researches have focused on the ways to accommodate the elderly population in the facilities such as nursing homes and specialized housing units separated from the ordinary community as well as providing other social welfare services. The improvement and maintenance of other public facilities for the elderly have been neglected by both government officials and academics. The needs and preferences of the older population will become diverse, and thus we need to explore ways to provide a wide variety of public services more effectively for the elderly population. Based on the concept of integration and normalization, this article explores the possibility of designing various public facilities such as roads, parks, and public builiding that can allow the elderly to remain as long as possible in the community with other age groups.

Effects of the differentiation inducers on DNA synthesis and c-myc gene expression have been investigated during the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. All-trans retinoic acid(retinoic acid) and dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) decreased DNA synthesis at 24 hours and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate(TPA) decreased at 12 hours after exposure, respectively. On the other hand control, no adding differentiation inducers, gradually increased DNA synthesis. The c-myc mRNA was sharply reduced at 24 hours in retinoic acid-, at 4 hours in DMSO-, and at 1 hour in TPA-exposured HL- 60 cells. The level of c-myc mRNAs was reduced in proportion to the concentration in all of three differentiation inducers. The level of c-myc mRNAs in the differentiation inducers-exposured cells were elevated by cycloheximide treatment. These results suggest that c-myc gene expression and differentiation mechanism are variable according to the kinds of the differentiation inducers in HL-60 cells.

All-Trans Retinoic Acid에 의한 HL-60 세포 분화유도중 H2B Histone, c-Myc 및 DNA Topoisomerase I 발현에 관한 연구

Effects of all-trans retinoic acid(retinoic acid) on DNA replication, H2B histone and DNA topoisopmerase I(Topo I) gene expression have been investigated in human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. DNA synthesis decreased at 24 hours after exposure of retinoic acid in the HL-60 cells. H2B histone mRNA rapidly reduced at 48 hours and Topo I and c-myc mRNA at 24 hours in retinoic acid-exposured HL-60 cells, respectively. The levels of c-myc, H2B histone and Topo I gene expression were reduced in proportion to the concentration of retinoic acid. The H2B histone mRNA in retinoic acid-exposured cells was elevated by cycloheximide treatment, while the level of Topo I mRNA was constant. These results suggest that regulations of H2B histone, c-myc and Topo I gene expression are different from one another, and repression of Topo I gene is closely correlated with c-myc gene during retinoic acid-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells.

임대원,이광,고상상,진효연,은상용,최병민,김복량 圓光大學校 醫科學硏究所 2008 圓光醫科學 Vol.23 No.1

Aflatoxm B₁(AFB₁) is a potent hepatocarcinogen in experimental animals and a hazard to human health in several parts of the world. AFB₁ is activated to its ultimate carcinogenic intermediate, AFB₁-8,9-epoxide, by cytochrome P450(CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4 in human liver and the intermediate is decomposed by several glutathione S-transferase(GST) including GSTA2, GSTM1 and GSTP1. In this study, we investigated the effects of phloretin on the enzyme systems which are involved in the activation and detoxification of AFB₁. The metabolic intermediate of AFB₁ was measured with HPLC. We found that phloretin could strongly inhibit the activities of CYP 3A4 and CYP1A2 in a dose dependent manner. Phloretin induced the antioxidant-response element(ARE)-mediated gene expression, including GSTs. The expressions of GSTA2, T1, M1, and GSTP1 were induced by 10μM phloretin. The decomposition of AFB₁-8,9-epoxide was measured with GSH conjugating activity of the epoxide. The rate was increased to 1.5 fold when HepG2 cells were treated by 10μM phloretin for 12h. In the mean while, the total GST activitives toward CDNB in HepG2 cells were not changed by the treatment with phloretin. The results demonstrate that phloretin has strong chemopreventive effects against AFB₁ toxicity through the inhibition of AFB₁ activation and induction of GSTs.

Kim, Byung-Ryang,Yoon, Jin-Kook,Nam, Kee-Seok,Shon, In-Jin The Korean Powder Metallurgy Institute 2008 한국분말재료학회지 (KPMI) Vol.15 No.4

Dense nanostructured $NbSi_2$ was synthesized by high-frequency induction-heated combustion synthesis (HFIHCS) method within 1 minute in one step from mechanically activated Nb and Si powders. Highly dense $NbSi_2$ with relative density of up to 99% was simultaneously synthesized and consolidated under the combined effects of an induced current and mechanical pressure of 60 MPa. The average grain size and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of the compound were investigated.

Properties and Rapid Consolidation of Binderless Nanostuctured NbC by Pulsed Current Activated Sintering

Byung Ryang Kim,Min Seok Moon,Kee Do Woo,In Jin Shon 대한금속재료학회 ( 구 대한금속학회 ) 2009 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LETTERS Vol.5 No.3

A dense nanostructured NbC hard material with a relative density of up to 98% was produced within 2 minutes from a mechanically activated powder by the simultaneous application of a pressure of 80 MPa and a pulsed current corresponding to 2800 A. With increasingly fine initial NbC powder size, accordingly higher density and superior mechanical properties were obtained. The fracture toughness and hardness values obtained were 6.0MPa·m1/2 and 2134 kg/mm2, respectively.

Kim, Won-Young,Park, SeungYong,Kim, Hwa Jung,Baek, Moon Seong,Chung, Chi Ryang,Park, So Hee,Kang, Byung Ju,Oh, Jin Young,Cho, Woo Hyun,Sim, Yun Su,Cho, Young-Jae,Park, Sunghoon,Kim, Jung-Hyun,Hong, Sa The Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory 2019 Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Vol.82 No.3

Background: Beyond its current function as a rescue therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be applied in ARDS patients with less severe hypoxemia to facilitate lung protective ventilation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of extended ECMO use in ARDS patients. Methods: This study reviewed 223 adult patients who had been admitted to the intensive care units of 11 hospitals in Korea and subsequently treated using ECMO. Among them, the 62 who required ECMO for ARDS were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to pre-ECMO arterial blood gas: an extended group (n=14) and a conventional group (n=48). Results: Baseline characteristics were not different between the groups. The median arterial carbon dioxide tension/fraction of inspired oxygen ($FiO_2$) ratio was higher (97 vs. 61, p<0.001) while the median $FiO_2$ was lower (0.8 vs. 1.0, p<0.001) in the extended compared to the conventional group. The 60-day mortality was 21% in the extended group and 54% in the conventional group (p=0.03). Multivariate analysis indicated that the extended use of ECMO was independently associated with reduced 60-day mortality (odds ratio, 0.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.64; p=0.02). Lower median peak inspiratory pressure and median dynamic driving pressure were observed in the extended group 24 hours after ECMO support. Conclusion: Extended indications of ECMO implementation coupled with protective ventilator settings may improve the clinical outcome of patients with ARDS.

MS-1020 is a novel small molecule that selectively inhibits JAK3 activity

Kim, Byung-Hak,Oh, Sei-Ryang,Yin, Chang-Hong,Lee, Sangku,Kim, Eun-Ah,Kim, Min-Seok,Sandoval, Claudio,Jayabose, Somasundaram,Bach, Erika A.,Lee, Hyeong-Kyu,Baeg, Gyeong-Hun Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2010 British journal of haematology Vol.148 No.1

<P>Summary</P><P>In order to identify Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signalling inhibitors, a cell-based high throughput screening was performed using a plant extract library that identified <I>N</I>b-(&agr;-hydroxynaphthoyl)serotonin called MS-1020 as a novel JAK3 inhibitor. MS-1020 potently inhibited persistently-active STAT3 in a cell type-specific manner. Further examination showed that MS-1020 selectively blocked constitutively-active JAK3 and consistently suppressed interleukin-2-induced JAK3/STAT5 signalling but not prolactin-induced JAK2/STAT5 signalling. Furthermore, MS-1020 affected cell viability only in cancer cells harbouring persistently-active JAK3/STATs, and <I>in vitro</I> kinase assays showed MS-1020 binds directly with JAK3, blocking its catalytic activity. Therefore, the present study suggested that this reagent selectively inhibits JAK3 and subsequently leads to a block in STAT signalling. Finally, MS-1020 decreased cell survival by inducing apoptosis via down-regulation of anti-apoptotic gene expression. These results suggest that MS-1020 may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancers harbouring aberrant JAK3 signalling.</P>
