Objectives: The mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been widely used as a traditional herbal medicine for many years. Although several studies have focused on the anti-oxidative activity of this mushroom, the molecular mechanisms underlying its activity have not yet been clearly established. The present study investigated the cytoprotective effect of ethanol extract of Ganoderma lucidum (EGL) against oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide, $H_2O_2$) and elucidated the underlying mechanisms in a C2C12 myoblast cell line. Methods: Oxidative stress markers were determined by using the comet assay to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Cell viability and Western blotting analyses were employed to evaluate the cellular response to EGL and $H_2O_2$ in C2C12 cells. Transfection with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-specific small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was conducted to understand the relationship between Nrf2 expression and $H_2O_2$-induced growth inhibition. Results: The results showed that EGL effectively inhibited $H_2O_2$-induced growth and the generation of ROS. EGL markedly suppressed $H_2O_2$-induced comet-like DNA formation and phosphorylation of histone H2AX at serine 139 ($p-{\gamma}H2AX$), a widely used marker of DNA damage, suggesting that EGL prevented $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage. Furthermore, the EGL treatment effectively induced the expression of Nrf2, as well as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), with parallel phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the C2C12 myoblasts. However, zinc protoporphyrin IX, a HO-1 inhibitor, significantly abolished the protective effects of EGL against $H_2O_2$-induced accumulation of ROS and reduced cell growth. Notably, transient transfection with Nrf2-specific siRNA attenuated the cytoprotective effects and HO-1 induction by EGL, indicating that EGL induced the expression of HO-1 in an Nrf2-dependent manner. Conclusion: Collectively, these results demonstrate that EGL augments the cellular anti-oxidant defense capacity through activation of Nrf2/HO-1, thereby protecting C2C12 myoblasts from $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative cytotoxicity.

Tongue-tie is a congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenum, which may restrict tongue tip mobility, In the neonate and infant, tongue-tie was said to cause difficult breast-feeding, In the older infant, toddler and young child, poor speech has been frequently listed because movement of tongue tip is limit ed. Also as a abnormal tongue position, various orthodontic problems, later mechanical and social manifestations could be developed. Treatment options such as observation, speech therapy, frenotomy and frenectomy have been suggested. The optimal timing for the surgery has not been determined, but early intervention may be appropriate for the children with significant tongue-tie who has the significant potential to speech difficulties and later social and mechanical problems. Sedation is an effective method for incapable of cooperative and the handicapped children, necessary to early intervention. We report three cases, using oral sedation for the frenectomy in young children with severe tongue-tie. After treatments, we could find out sufficient tongue movement and improved speech ability. 설유착증(tongue-tie)은 비정상적으로 짧은 설소대로 인하여 혀의 움직임이 제한되는 것을 의미한다. 영유아에서 심한 설유착증은 수유곤란을 야기하기도 하고, 증상이 지속적으로 존재할 때는 혀의 운동범위가 제한되어 발음문제를 야기할 수 있다. 또한 비정상적인 혀의 위치로 인해 여러 가지 교정적인 문제를 초래 할 뿐만 아니라, 기능적, 사회적 장애요소로 작용할 수도 있다. 설유착증의 치료방법으로는 관찰, 언어치료, 단순절개술 그리고 절제술 등이 있는데, 수술시기에 대한 논란은 있지만 정도가 심하여 장기간 언어장애가 지속되거나 교정적인 문제를 야기 할 것으로 판단되는 경우 조기수술이 권장되고 있다. 진정요법은 조기치료가 필요한 나이가 어리고 비협조적인 환아들이나, 신체적, 정신적 이유로 통상적 인 치과진료에 어려움이 있는 환아들에게 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 방법이다. 본 증례는 설유착증으로 수술이 필요하나 협조전단계인 환아를 대상으로 경구투여를 이용한 진정요법으로 소대절제술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

급냉법으로 리본형 결정질 Co1-x Crx (x=0.27, 0.29, 0.30, 0.32, 0.35)합금을 제조하여 Cr의 조성에 따른 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. 포화자화값은 벌크값보다 컸지만 박막의 경우보다는 작았다. Cr의 함량이 증가함에 따라 포화자화값은 감소하였다. 27 at.% Cr의 경우를 예외로 하면 Cr 함량 증가에 따라 결정립의 크기는 감소하였고, 항자력은 증가하였다. 리본형 Co1-x Crx 는 포화자화값의 온도 의존성이 비정질 시료인 경우와 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며 Cr의 함량이 증가할수록 Curie온도(Tr)는 감소하였다. Cr 함량의 증가에 따라 exchange interaction의 평균자승거리<r²>와 spin wave stiffness 상수D는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 천이금속(Co)의 원자당평균 자기모멘트는 Cr의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였다. The magnetic cnaracteristics of crystalline Co1-x Crx (x=0.27, 0.29, 0.30, 0.32, 0.35) ribbons prepared by the rapid solidification were investigated. The saturation magnetization for ribbon was greater than that for bulk alloys containg the same amount of Cr. but smaller for the films. The grain size of ribbon became smaller and coercive force increased with increasing Cr contents except case of 27 at.% Cr. The saturation magnetization decreased with increasing Cr contensts. The temperature dependence of saturation magnetization for Co1-x Crx ribbon showed the similar behavior as the amorphous alloy and the Curie temperatures were decreased with the increase of Cr contents. The spin wave stiffness constant and the mean square range of exchange interaction, also were decreased. The average magnetic moment per transition metal atom was linearly decreased with increasing the contents of Cr.

서양산 고추냉이 (Horseradish, Armoracia rusticana)의 주성분인 allylisothiocyanate(AIT)는 각종 세균에 대한 살균 효과로 주목받고 있다. 이전 연구들을 통해 구강내 다양한 세균 및 진균류에 대한 항균성이 입증되었으나 근단내 병소를 유발하는 혐기성 세균에 대한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 사람의 근단 병소에서 직접 분리한 E. faecalis와 F. nucleatum에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물의 항균활성을 표준균주와 비교해보고 이를 대표적인 항균제인 클로르헥시딘과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 E. faecalis 임상 분리균주에 대하여 표준균주와 같거나 약간 높은 농도에서 항균효과를 나타냈고, 625.0~1,250.0 μg/ml의 농도에서 클로르헥시딘 (7.8~15.6 μg/ml)과 대등한 항균효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 F. nucleatum 임상 분리균주에 대하여 표준균주와 같거나 약간 높은 농도에서 항균효과를 나타냈고, 78.1~312.5 μg/ml의 농도에서 클로르헥사딘 (7.8~15.6 μg/ml)과 대등한 항균효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구로 표준균주 뿐만 아니라 구강에서 직접 분리한 혐기성 세균에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물의 항균성을 확인할 수 있었고, 추후 근관 세척제나 소독제로 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물을 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. Objective : The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobical effect of horseradish root extracts against Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum isolated from oral cavity compared with reference strain, and compared with that of chlorhexidine. Method : Horseradish root extracts and chlorhexidine were sequentially diluted and tested against anaerobes(E. faecalis, F. nucleatum) isolated from children's oral cavity. The microbes were anaerobically incubated and the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC) were detected. Results: 1. Horseradish root extracts showed antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis isolated strain at same or slightly higher concentration compared with MIC of reference strain. 2. 625.0~1.250.0 ㎍/ml horseradish root extracts showed similar antimicrobial effect with chlorhexidine(7.8~15.6 ㎍/ml). 3. Horseradish root extracts showed antimicrobial effect against F. nucleatum isolated strain at same or slightly higher concentration compared with MIC of reference strain. 4. 78.1~312.5 ㎍/ml horseradish root extracts showed similar antimicrobial effect with chlorhexidine(7.8~15.6 ㎍/ml). Conclusions : The results of this study confirm that horseradish root extracts has antimicrobial effect against anaerobes isolated from oral cavity as well as reference strain. And we found the potential of horseradish root extracts as a canal irrigant or disinfectant.

The purpose of this study was to gather and categorize the data of electrical energy sources for public office buildings in Taegu, South Korea. The fossil energy sources are not enough for all of us, as we know, to use. In a few days, it will be hard to utilize or find them neither under the earth nor the sea or around the world. New energy sources should be recommended and solar energy has been referred to substitute these limited sources. Prior to studying solar energy sources applied to public office buildings, necessary data should be systematically surveyed and lined up. This research ,therefore, will be a very important foundation for studying next thesis, solar energy project.

장인진,김익상,유경상,임동석,김형기,신상구,장우현,박완제,이나경,정상보,안동호,조양제,안보영,이윤하,김영지,남성우,김현수 대한감염학회 1998 감염 Vol.30 No.3

목적 : 제일제당에서는 녹농균의 세포외막 단밸질을 유효성분으로 하는 백신인 CFC-101을 개발하였으며, 동물시험에서 이 백신의 안전성과 유효성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 녹농균 백신의 인체에 대한 안전성과 면역원성을 평가하는 동시에 인체 접종시의 최적 투여 용량을 결정하기 위하여 제 I/Ⅱa상 임상시험을 수행하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 남자를 피험자로 선별하여 각 용량군에 백신투여자 6명, 위약투여자 2명을 배정하였다. 백신 투여군은 0.25mg, 0.5mg 또는 1.0mg 용량의 녹농균 백신을 7일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 근육주사 하였으며, 위약 투여군에게는 세포외막 단백질을 제외한 동일한 성분을 투여하였다. 백신접종 후 국소적 또는 전신적인 반응의 발생여부를 관찰하고, 혈액시료를 체취하여 백신의 역가와 유효성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 녹농균 백신 CFC-101은 모든 접종자에서 양호한 내약성을 보였다. 또한 0.5mg 과 1.0mg 백신 투여군에서는 100%의 항체양전율을 나타내었다. 생성된 항체는 녹농균 세포외막단백질에 특이성을 보였고, 녹농균 감염에 대해 방어효능이 있었다. 결론 : 이와같은 결과로부터 이 녹농균 백신은 인체에 안전하게 투여할 수 있으며, 높은 항체 생성능으로 감염방어 효능을 보이고 0.5mg과 1.0mg이 최적용량인 것으로 판단되었다. Background : We developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein(OMP) vaccine CFC-101, and the prophylactic efficacy of which has been demonstrated in animal models. In order to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the P. aeruginosa vaccine, we carried out a phase I/Ⅱa clinical trial in healthy male volunteers. Methods : Groups of eight volunteers, including two placebo subjects, were vaccinated intramuscularly with three doses of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mg of the vaccine at one week intervals. Sings of systemic and local reactions observed after vaccination were recorded for each vaccinee for 5 days. Physical examinations were performed on days 0, 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 42, and clinical laboratory tests were done on days 0, 3, and 21. Blood samples for assay of serum antibody levels were obtained up to 42 days after the first vaccination. Results : The vaccine was generally well tolerated by all vaccinees, showing no significant side effects. In the three dosage groups, all vaccinees, except one receiving the 0.25 mg dose, showed significant elevation in serum IgG antibody titers against the vaccine proteins, indicating 100% seroconversion in 0.5 and 1.0 mg groups. The human antibodies induced by the vaccine were specific for P. aeruginosa OMPs, as confirmed by western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays. The capacity of the human antisera to enhance opsonophagocytic killing activity by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and to confer protection against P. aeruginosa infections indicates that the antibodies elicited by the vaccine have protective efficacy. Conclusion : We conclude that the P. aeruginosa OMP vaccine is safe and effective for human use and its optimal dose to be 0.5 or 1.0 mg.
