<▼1><P>Vascular regeneration in ischemic hearts has been considered a target for new therapeutic strategies. It has been reported that ETV2 is essential for vascular development, injury-induced neovascularization and direct cell reprogramming of non-endothelial cells into endothelial cells. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential of ETV2 in murine models of myocardial infarction in vivo. Direct myocardial delivery of lentiviral ETV2 into rodents undergoing myocardial infarction dramatically upregulated the expression of markers for angiogenesis as well as anti-fibrosis and anti-inflammatory factors in vivo. Consistent with these findings, echocardiography showed significantly improved cardiac function in hearts with induced myocardial infarction upon ETV2 injection compared to that in the control virus-injected group as determined by enhanced ejection fraction and fractional shortening. In addition, ETV2-injected hearts were protected against massive fibrosis with a remarkable increase in capillary density. Interestingly, major fractions of capillaries were stained positive for ETV2. In addition, ECs infected with ETV2 showed enhanced proliferation, suggesting a direct role of ETV2 in vascular regeneration in diseased hearts. Furthermore, culture media from ETV2-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts promoted endothelial cell migration based on scratch assay. Importantly, intramyocardial injection of the adeno-associated virus form of ETV2 into rat hearts with induced myocardial infarction designed for clinical applicability consistently resulted in significant augmentation of cardiac function. We provide compelling evidence that ETV2 has a robust effect on vascular regeneration and enhanced cardiac repair after myocardial infarction, highlighting a potential therapeutic function of ETV2 as an efficient means to treat failing hearts.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Cardiovascular disease: New hope for healing the heart</B></P><P>A gene therapy strategy that stimulates cardiovascular repair could improve recovery for heart attack patients. Heart attacks inflict severe damage on the heart and blood vessels, tissues with limited capacity for self-repair. Researchers led by Kiwon Ban of the City University of Hong Kong and Hun-Jun Park of the Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, have now demonstrated that a gene responsible for cardiovascular development can also efficiently stimulate heart repair. They used viruses to deliver the gene into a mouse model of heart attack, and showed that treated heart tissues exhibited strong recovery relative to untreated controls. The treatment reduced scar tissue formation and promoted proliferation of the cells lining blood vessels and blood vessel formation, measurably improving heart function. This approach could lay the groundwork for treating a common potentially fatal event.</P></▼2>

이봉훈 외 한국버섯학회 2008 한국버섯학회지 Vol.6 No.1

종균의 종류에 따라 중온성 품종의 생산성이 어떻게 달라지는지를 확인하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 버섯의 발생 경향은 세 처리구 모두 비슷했으며, 성형종균과 액체종균 처리구는 2차발생까지 총수확량의 50% 이상, 4차까지 80% 이상 발생되었다. 기형버섯조사에서는, 세 처리구 모두 2차 발생까지만 기형버섯이 발생되었다. 하지만 기형버섯 발생률에 있어서는 다른 처리구들에 비해 액체종균 접종구에서의 발생률이 낮았다. 수확량조사에서는 액체종균을 접종했을 때 배지당 411 g으로 처리구들 중 가장 많았고 10 g이 넘는 버섯도 309 g으로 톱밥종균과 성형종균에 비해 많았다. 그리고 발생된 자실체 개수는 톱밥종균과 성형종균 간에 유의성이 있었지만 자실체 개당 무게는 세 처리구 간에 유의성이 없었다. Studies were processed to confirm the difference of the shiitake productivity according to different spawn shapes(sawdust, plug-shaped and liquid spawns) on middle-temperature type strain. A tendency of fruiting was similar among three treatments, and treatments inoculated with plug-shaped spawn and liquid spawn produced over 50 % of total yield until 2nd flushing period and 80 % of total yield until 4th flushing period. In investigation of deformed fruitbodies, all of three treatments occurred until 2nd flushing period. However, in rate of deformed fruit-bodies, treatment inoculated with liquid spawn was lower than others. In investigation of yield, the amount produced on treatment inoculated with liquid spawn was 411 g per medium and it was highest among treatments. And the amount of fruit-bodies over 10 g was higher than others. Also, the number of fruit-bodies between sawdust and plug-shaped spawn was different, but each weight of fruit-bodies among three treatments was not different.

이봉훈 외 한국버섯학회 2005 한국버섯학회지 Vol.3 No.3

Attempts were made to control Diatrype stigma occurred on the bed-log of shiitake by resistant shiitake strains. In selection test of resistant shiitake strains, 67 out of 77 strains tested were proved to be resistant to D. stigma. Among them, 13 strains including KFRI 5 were effective to inhibit the access of D. stigma, and 7 strains including KFRI 180 remarkably invaded the territory of D. stigma. Among 31 shiitake strains made by hybridization of resistant strains for D. stigma, 8 strains including KFRI 537 inhibited the access of D. stigma, and 4 strains including KFRI 545 invaded the territory of D. stigma. The effects of temperatures and inoculation orders to the resistance were confirmed in PDA plates and test tubes filled with sawdust of Quercus acutissima. Four kinds of temperature treatments as follows were tested: ① continuous incubation at 14℃, ② continuous incubation at 25℃, ③ changing of incubation temperature from 14℃ to 25 ℃ as soon as mycelia of both shiitake and D. stigma meet together, ④ changing of incubation temperature from 25℃ to 14 ℃ as soon as mycelia of both shiitake and D. stigma meet together. Three kinds of inoculation procedure were tested: ① inoculation of shiitake 3 days ahead of D. stigma inoculation, ② inoculation of D. stigma 3 days ahead of shiitake inoculation, ③ simultaneous inoculation of both fungi. In PDA plate test, the strain KFRI 137 showed outstanding ability to inhibit mycelial growth of D. stigma and the strain KFRI 180 invaded into the territory of D. stigma in most of treatments. Hybrid strains, KFRI 545, 546, and 547 were more resistant than their parent strains, KFRI 488 and 405. In test tube examinations, all the strains of shiitake showed high resistance at the treatment of change in temperature from 14℃ to 25℃ when mycelia of both shiitake and D. stigma meet together. On the other hand, resistance of all the strains growing at 25℃ decreased when the temperature was changed into 14℃ after mycelia of both fungi. In these cases, the resistance reached to 7∼20% of the highest resistance. The strain KFRI 259 invaded the territory of D. stigma, contrary to PDA plate test. Among the strains, KFRI 393 strain was the most resistant under the continuous incubation at 25℃. 표고골목 해균인 주홍꼬리버섯을 방제하기 위해 저항성 표고균주 선발을 시도하였다. 저항성 표고균주 선발 시험에서, 사용된 77개 균주 중 67개 균주가 저항력을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 67개 균주 중 KFRI 5를 포함한 13개 균주가 주홍꼬리버섯균의 접근을 막는데 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤고 KFRI 180을 포함한 7개 균주가 주홍꼬리버섯의 영역으로 가장 많이 침범했다. 교잡을 통해 만든 31개 균주 중 KFRI 537을 포함한 8개 균주가 주홍꼬리버섯균의 접근을 막는데 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤고 KFRI 545를 포함한 4개 균주가 주홍꼬리버섯의 영역으로 가장 많이 침범했다. 온도와 접종순서의 변화에 따른 각 균주의 저항력 차이를 확인하기 위해 PDA 평판배지와 상수리나무톱밥을 넣은 시험관배지를 사용했다. PDA 평판배지 시험결과, 대부분의 처리구에서 KFRI 137은 주홍꼬리버섯에 대해 뛰어난 접근 억제력을 보였고 KFRI 180은 뛰어난 침범력을 보였다. 교잡균인 KFRI 545, 546, 547은 모균주들인 KFRI 488과 405에 비해 높은 저항력을 보였다. 시험관배지 시험결과, 표고균과 주홍꼬리버섯균이 대치를 하는 시점부터 25℃에 두었을 때 모든 균주가 높은 저항력을 나타냈다. KFRI 393은 25℃에서 지속 배양할 때 다른 균주에 비해 높은 저항력을 나타냈다. 또한 모든 균주들에서, 25℃ 배양 후 두 균이 대치를 할 시기에 14℃로 옮겨 배양한 처리구는 다른 처리구들에 비해 낮은 저항력을 보였다. 이 때의 저항력 정도는 각 균주 최고치의 7-20%에 불과했다. 또한 KFRI 259는 PDA 평판배지에서와 달리, 주홍꼬리버섯의 영역을 침범했다.

김봉훈 대구대학교 특수교육재활과학연구소 2010 産業技術硏究 Vol.21 No.1

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of micro structure of metal wick on the permeability governing heat transport capacity of looped heat pipe(LHP). Three different samples, made of powder-sintered nickel and characterized from analysis of SEM images, were prepared by the combination of three different values in both porosity and sample length. Permeability measurements were performed using a steady-state filter test apparatus. For each sample, both pressure drop across the test section and corresponding flow rate were measured and parametric analysis was made to find ominant factors. Test results showed that mass flow rate linearly increased with pressure drop and rate of ncrease also increased with magnitude of porosity. It was found that degree of porosity played an important role in the evaluation of permeability.

Use of osseointegrated implants for missing teeth has been widely utilized in clinical dentistry. Allthough the procedure has been highly successful, there have also been unavoidable failures. The success of osseointegration depends in part on the host bone and its healing capacity, and concerns have been raised about various conditions affecting its quality and quantity. Diabetes mellitus, which is a major health problem for the elderly, represents a reduction in collagen synthesis, delayed wound healing and osteoporosis. The underlying clinical problem is a deficiency of bone mass. Because age and gender are reported to be an important risk factor for diabetes mellitus, the rate of implant loss caused by failure of osseointegration may also be expected to increase correspondingly. Thus, a large population of the target population for dental implants may have a high risk for implant failure. There are, however, few histologic reports regarding tissue reaction to implants in diabetes patients. Streptozotocin is the current diabetogenic agent of choice for producing experimental diabetes mellitus. The toxic acts specifically on the β- cells of the pancreas and the metabolic conditions which result from the use of streptozotocin are reported to resemble those observed in humans. The purposes of this study were to histologically examine the tissue reaction to titanium implants inserted into the tibiae of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats using light microscopy and to assess over time the quantitative differences between the newly formed bone of diabetes-induced rats and controls using image processing systems and immunohistochemistry with fibronectin and CD44 antibody. Seventy adult rats of both sexes were used in this study. In thirty-five rats, streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally to induce diabetes and the serum glucose concentration was checked to ensure the induction of diabetes prior to implant placement and at the time of sacrifice. The titanium screw implants (diameter, 2.0mm; height, 3.5mm) were inserted into left tibiae of 70 rats, 35 in the control group and 35 in the DM group. The experimental rats were sacrificed at different time interval(1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th week) for histologic examination, histomorphomeric analysis and immunohistochemistry with fibronectin and CD44 antibody. The results obtained from this study were as follows : 1.A rapid bone formation was observed in control group compared with DM group based on histological examination. However the pattern of bone formation in both groups was similar. 2.According to the histomorphometric analysis, the control group showed significantly higher in marrow bone density, marrow bone-implant contact ratio, and total bone-implant contact ratio compared with DM group. 3.The level of fibronectin expression was the most abundant at 3 and 6 weeks, which maintained to 6 and 12 weeks in control and DM group, respectively. From 8 weeks, the level of fibronectin expression decreased gradually in control but not in DM group. 4.The level of CD44 expression was the most abundant at 4 weeks, which decreased gradually to 12 weeks in control group while high level of CD44 expression was observed with no significant change to 12 weeks in DM group. From these results, it could be stated that although the rate of bone formation was delayed in DM group, dental implant procedure was not a contraindication and longer healing period was necessary in diabetes mellitus.

Atmospheric Plasma Cleaning (APC) was studied for the residual rolling oil contaminants on the surface of cold rolled Stainless Steel after optimizing APC conditions. Electrodes were placed at a distance of 10mm, with an RF power of 220W, and line velocity of 0.5m/min. The residue left by APC was 0.78mg/m², which was less than that of the approximate 1mg/m² by other classical cleaning methods. Especially, APC combined with pre-cleaning by 550℃Nitrogen gas gave a residue of only 0.01mg/m². Cleaning effect are also improved when oxygen gas is added to the atmospheric plasma. It was confirmed by the investigation of the official Korea Chemical Analysis Center that the APC-hot nitrogen method is superior to other methods. The residual contaminants for different methods were as follow : the classical method : about 1mg/m², APC : 0.78mg/m², and APC-hot nitrogen : 0.10mg/m².

Mastoparan B의 항균 활성 및 용혈 작용에 미치는 소수성도와 양친매성의 영향

이봉헌,김광호,장태식,박남규,박장수,강신원 부산대학교 유전공학연구소 1998 분자생물학 연구보 Vol.14 No.-

Tetradecapeptide인 Mastoparan B(MP B)와 이의〔Ala〕-MP B유도체들을 합성하고 항균 활성 및 용혈 작용을 측정하여 MP B의 활성에 미치는 소수성도(hydrophobicity)와 양친매성(amphiphilicity)의 영향을 비교하였다. 그 결과 MP B와 소수성도가 MP B 보다 큰〔Ala^2〕-,〔Ala^4〕-MP B유도체가 큰 항균 활성을 나타내었으며, 소수성도가 MP B보다 작은〔Ala^6〕-MP B유도체의 활성은 MP B와 비슷하거나 작게 나타나 소수성도가 큰 유도체일수록 항균활성을 크게 나타내었다. 그러나 MP B보다 소수성도가 큰 유도체인〔Ala^9〕-MP B는 Ala에 의한 Trp의 치환때문에 MP B보다 작은 활성을 나타내었다.용혈 활성 측정 결과 MP B보다 소수성도가 큰〔Ala^2〕-,〔Ala^4〕-MP B유도체가 각각100.0%와 69.4%로써 용혈 작용을 크게 나타냈으나, 소수성도가 작은〔Ala^6〕-MP B유도체는 6.1%로써 가장 작은 용혈 작용을 나타내었고 Trp대신 Ala으로 치환한 소수성도가 큰 유도체인〔Ala^9〕-MP B는 MP B보다 작은 26.0%의 용혈 작용을 나타내었다. 그러므로 용혈 작용은 소수성도가 클수록 증가하였으며 양친매성이 활성에 미치는 영향은 적었다. Tetradecapeptide.Mastoparan B(MP B)and its〔Ala^2 〕-,〔Ala^4〕-,〔Ala^6〕-,〔Ala^9〕-MP Bderivatives were synthesized, and then their antibacterical and hemolitic were to examine the effect of hydrophobicity and ampiphilicity on the MP B-induced those activities. MP B and more hydrophobic〔Ala^2 〕-,〔Ala^4〕-MP B showed stronger antibacterical activity and less hydrophobic〔Ala^6〕-MP B than MP B did similar or weaker activity, so more hydrophobic〔Ala〕-MP B derivative had stronger activity. But more hydrophobic〔Ala^9〕-MP B than MP B showed weaker activity because of its Trp subsitution by Ala. On the other hand,〔Ala^2 〕-and〔Ala^4〕-MP B showed 100.0% and 69.4% hemoiytic activity, but〔Ala^6〕-MP B did the weakwst activity(6.1%)and〔Ala^9〕-MP B, weaker activity(26.0%) than MP B.Therefore, more hydrophobic〔Ala〕-MP B derviative had stronger activity and the effect of ampiphilicity on the activity was weak.
