심박변이율의 감소는 심근 경색 환자에서 예후의 악화와 관련되어 있다. 심박변이율 중 very low frequency가 심부전환자의 예후를 판단할 수 있는 독립적 인자로서 사용이 가능하다고 보고된 바 있으며, 심실의 압력 증가에 반응해서 생성되는 B-type natriuretic peptide가 심근 경색의 예후 인자로서 사용할 수 있음 역시 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 심근경색 모델을 제작하여 일정의 회복 기간을 거친 다음 다시 일정 기간의 스트레스를 겪게 한 후 심박변이율의 변화 및 심실 조직에서의 BNP 발현 정도를 비교하여 스트레스에 의한 영향을 관찰하고자 하였다. Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐 15마리를 대상으로 하였다. 실험동물은 인위적 스트레스 및 수술을 받지 않은 대조군(CON, n=5), 심근경색 수술을 받은 후 restraint stress를 받지 않은 군(MI+No Stress, n=5), 심근경색 수술을 받은 후 1주일 동안 restraint stress를 받은 군(MI+Stress, n=5)으로 분류하였다. 심근경색 모델 제작 직후 15분 이상 심전도의 변화를 기록하였으며, 2개월 정도 후 심근경색 수술을 받은 동물을 두 군으로 나누어 그 중 한 군에는 1주일 동안 restraint stress를 가한 후 restraint stress를 가하지 않은 동물과 심박변이율을 비교 분석하였다. 심실 조직은 좌심실 전벽 부위의 위축을 관찰할 수 있었고, 대식세포에 의하여 응고, 괴사된 심근세포의 탐식과 혈관이 풍부한 육아조직 및 섬유 변화를 볼 수 있었다. 심박변이율은 심근경색 수술을 받은 직후 심박수는 유의한 증가를 보였고, standard deviation of the normal to normal intervals (SDNN), very low frequency (VLF) 및 low frequency (LF)의 유의한 감소를 보였다. 심근경색 수술을 받았던 동물에서 두 달 정도의 회복 기간을 거친 후 스트레스를 받지 않은 군은 심박수 및 기타 심박변이율 분석에서 SDNN 값을 제외하고는 정상군과 유의한 차이를 관찰할 수 없었던 반면 1주일 동안 스트레스를 받은 군에서는 심박수가 다시 유의하게 증가했을 뿐만 아니라 SDNN, VLF 및 LF 역시 정상군과 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 심근경색 동물에 대해 1주일 동안 스트레스를 가한 결과 심박변이율이 감소하고 심실에서의 BNP 발현은 더욱 증가하여 악화함을 보여주고 있다. Diminished heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with less favorable prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). It has been reported that very low frequency (VLF) power in HRV analysis is an independent risk predictor in patients with congestive heart failure and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be used as a prognostic factor of MI. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether stress has an effect to the changes of BNP expression and/or heart rate variability in MI model in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: control group (CON), MI group (MI+No Stress), and MI followed by stress group (MI+Stress). MI+Stress group rats were raised for a two month recovery period after the operation, followed by being exposed to restraint stress for 2 hours per day for 1 week. Electrocardiogram was recorded after the operation and the last day after 1 week of stress. The frequency components of HRV were calculated in the frequency domain such as VLF, low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and so on. In HRV analysis, standard deviation of the normal to normal intervals (SDNN) was significantly reduced in both groups compared to the control group. VLF and LF also were significantly reduced in MI+Stress group compared to the control groups. In addition, BNP expression in western blotting was shown the strongest bands in MI+ Stress group among experimental groups. These results suggest that BNP and HRV were aggravated by stress in MI rat model. (Korean J Str Res 2010;18:275∼285)

Benzoyl peroxide is a High Production Volume Chemical, which is produced about 1,375 tons/year in Korea as of 2001 survey. The substance is mainly used as initiators in polymerization, catalysts in hte plastics industry, bleaching agents for flour nad medication for acne vulgaris. In this study, quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships(QSAR) are used for getting adequate information on the physical-chemical properties of this chemical. And hydrolysis in water, acute toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial organisms for benzoyl peroxide were studied. The physical-chemical properties of benzoyl peroxide were estimated as followed; vapor pressure=0.00929 pa, Log K_(ow)=3.43, Henry's Law constant=3.54×10^(-6) atm-m³/mole at 25℃, the half-life of photodegradation=3days and bioconcentration factor(BCF)=92. Hydrolysis half-life of benzoyl peroxide in water was 5.2hr at pH 7 at 25℃ and according to the structure of this substance hydrolysis product was expected to benzoic acid. Benzoyl peroxide has toxic effects on the aquatic organisms. 72 hr-ErC_(50)(growth rate) for algae was 0.44mg/L, 48hr-EC_(50) for daphnia was 0.07mg/L and the 96hr-LC_(50) of acute toxicity to fish was 0.24mg/L. Acute toxicity to terrestrial organisms(earth worm) of benzoyl peroxide was low(14 day-LC_(50)=>1,000mg/kg). Although benzoyl peroxide is high toxic to aquatic organisms, the substance is not bioaccumulated because of the rapid removal by hydrolysis (half life=5.2hr at pH 7 at 25℃) and biodegradation(8.% by BOD after 21days). The toxicity observed is assumed to be due to benzoyl peroxide rather than benzoic acid, which shows much lower toxicity to aquatic organisms. One can assume that effects occur before hydrolysis takes place. From the acute toxicity value of algae, daphnia and fish, an assessment factor of 100 was used to determine the predicted no effect concentration(PNEC). The PNEC was calculated to be 0.7㎍/L based on the 48hr-EC_(50) daphnia(0.07mg/L). The substance shows high acute toxicity to aquatic organisms and some information indicates wide-dispersive use of this substance. So this substance is a candidate for further work, even if it hydrolysis rapidly and has a low bioaccumulation potential. This could lead to local concern for the aquatic environment and therefore environmental exposure assessment is recommended.

In this study, thermal diffusion caused by using air cooled condenser at LNG power plant in Yulchon was simulated through in numerical method (Matsuno scheme). The input data of model was used to seasonal wind components (u, v) of automatic weather system (AWS) and seasonal temperature ranges between inflow and outflow of opening air. The aim of this study was twofold : (1) to investigate sensibility analysis of thermal diffusion coefficient : (2) to simulate diffusion of heat source through the calculated effect height for season and stability variations. These sensibility analyses were performed in detail using two case studies one is to apply horizontal and vertical thermal diffusion coefficient as 50 m-ls-1 and 10 m-ls-1, the other is 30 m-ls-1 and 10 m-ls-1 respectively. It is well known that the sensibility for thermal diffusion coefficient is low owning to very similar results. Consequently, thermal diffusion for the first case is simulated by using effect height for season and stability variation. The temperature is under 1℃ at surface whereas that is high at near the center of effect height.

오존처리는 음용수중의 유해한 미생물을 소독하는 처리기술로 주로 이용되고 있으며, 생물활성탄 처리기술 역시 오염물질 제거를 포함한 음용수 제조과정에 여러 가지 이점을 제공한다. 이글의 병행처리는 원수중의 여러 물질을 제거하는데 효과적인 공정으로 간주되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하류의 매리취수장 원수를 사용하여 생물활성탄 정수처리공정 및 오존에 의한 수질 변화와 함께 폴리오바이러스 제거 효율을 조사하였다. 수질인자들은 BAC 여과를 거치면서 $NH^{+}_{4}-N$등을 포함한 모든 항목들은 거의 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. Pilot-plant를 이용한 정수처리공정별 폴리오바이러스 제거실험에서는 전오존 접촉에 의해 $96.8\%$, 침전단계에서$99.3\%$, 여과단계에서 $99.6\%$의 바이러스가 제거되었으며, 후오존을 거친 BAC 여과수 시료에서는 세포배양법과 ICC-PCR 방법에서 바이러스가 $100\%$ 제거되어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 오존농도에 의한 폴리오바이러스 제거실험 결과 0.4mg/1에서 5분간 접촉되었을 때는 약 $61.1\%$ 이상이, 0.8mg/1에서 10분 이상 접촉시킨 후에는 바이러스의 $100\% $가 불활성화 되어졌음을 알 수 있었다. Ozonation is a disinfection technique of harmful mi-crobes commonly used in the treatment of drinking water. And Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) treatment also provides numerous benefits for drinking water utilities, including removal of micro- pollutants, improved treatment processes. The multiful-stage ozonation and BAC play roles as effective methods for removing several materials in raw water. Water quality variation in Nak dong river and the removal efficiency of viruses by ozonation-BAC process were investigated on pilot scale. During the period of survey, most of water quality parameters including $NH_{4}^{+}-N$ were highly improved after passing through the BAC. The removal efficiency of poliovirus type III in water treatment process using pilot-plant,$ 99.6\% $ of viruses were removed by pre-ozonation, sedimentation and sand filteration process, $ 100\% $ were removed after in BAC filteration step. In the removal survey of viruses by ozonation, ap-proximately $ 61.1\% $ or polioviruses were inactivated by ozone of 0.4 mg/l within 5 min. and $ 100\% $ were inactivated by ozone of 0.8 mg/l over 10 min.

Moon, Mi Kyoung,Kang, Dae Gill,Lee, An Sook,Yeom, Ki Bok,Kim, Jin Sook,Lee, Ho Sub Institute for Advanced Research in Asian Science a 2008 The American journal of Chinese medicine Vol.36 No.3

<P>The present study was designed to investigate whether the aqueous extract of rhubarb (AR) could prevent the development of atherosclerosis through regulating vascular inflammatory processes in rats fed with an atherogenic diet. AR significantly reduced plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and increased plasma high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in rats fed with an atherogenic diet. AR inhibited vascular expressions of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) induced in rats with an atherogenic diet. On the other hand, AR augmented the vascular expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) and restored vascular nitric oxide (NO) production. Furthermore, AR suppressed the elevated expression of vascular nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) p65 as well as adhesion molecules, including intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin in rats fed with an atherogenic diet. Also, AR decreased endothelial expression of ICAM-1 and ET-1 in aorta. These results suggest that AR suppresses the development of atherosclerosis in the atherogenic-diet rat model through inhibiting vascular expressions of proinflammatory and adhesion molecules via the regulation of nitric oxide and endothelin system.</P>

Moon, Mi Kyoung,Lee, Yun Jung,Kim, Jin Sook,Kang, Dae Gill,Lee, Ho Sub Pharmaceutical Society of Japan 2009 BIOLOGICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL BULLETIN Vol.32 No.8

<P>Recruitment of specific leukocyte subpopulations at the site of inflammation requires a series of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)-mediated interactions. The major CAMs, <I>viz.</I>, intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin are expressed on endothelium in response to various cytokines. Caffeic acid (CA), a natural phenolic compound from herbs and other sources, has been shown to prevent cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the effect of CA on the expression of CAMs by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). Adhesion of monocytes to CA-treated HUVECs was evaluated by co-culture experiments using 2,7-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethylester (BCECF-AM) labeling of U937 cells. The expression of adhesion and chemoattractant molecules was evaluated by Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. CA significantly inhibited the TNF-α-induced increase in U937 monocyte adhesion to HUVECs as well as decreased the protein and mRNA expression levels of CAMs on HUVECs. CA also inhibited the mRNA expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). The involvement of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in the transcriptional control of CAMs protein was assessed by degradation of inhibitory (I)κB and nuclear translocation of NF-κB using Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. CA attenuated TNF-α-induced IκB degradation and NF-κB translocation from cytosol to the nucleus. In conclusion, TNF-α-induced NF-κB-DNA complex formation was inhibited by CA. CA reduced TNF-α-induced endothelial adhesiveness to HUVECs by inhibiting transcription factor activation, and CAMs expression suggesting its potential role in atherosclerosis diseases.</P>

식물자원으로부터 항산화 물질을 확보 하기위해 한국 등에서 전통적으로 phytotherapy로 이용되어 온 Rubus crataegifolius Bge. 열매를 조사하였다. R. crataegifolius의 열매를 메탄올로 추출하였고 순차적으로 n-hexane, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate로 분획화하였다. 각 분획물의 항산화 활성은 DPPH와 H2O2에 대항 인간 primary 세포인 keratinocyte (HK)를 이용하여 세포 독성 및 효능을 검증하였다. R. crataegifolius 열매 추출물은 비타민C와 비슷한 강력한 DPPH (75.04%, 50%)와 H2O2 (79.9%, 54.1%)소거능을 보였다. 분획물의 DPPP에 대한 소거능을 측정하였는데 n-hexane fraction (HF)은 20.3%, diethyl ether fraction (DF)은 68.8%, ethyl acetate fraction (EF)는 67.1% 그리고 residue fraction (RE)은 67.1%의 소거능을 보였으며 H2O2에 대해서는 2.2%, 1.6%, 10%, 그리고 50%로 각각 나타내었다. H2O2에 대한 HK의 세포 보호능을 확인하기 위해 산화적 스트레서 모델을 확립하였고(1 mM) 0.005-0.02%의 RE 분획물에서 H2O2에 대한 보호능을 발휘하였다. 따라서. R. crataegifolius의 열매 추출물은 H2O2유발 상처에 대하여 HK세포의 보호능을 가지며 강력한 항산화 활성을 가지고 있다. We investigated the fruits of Rubus crataegifolius Bge, a plant which has been traditionally used in Korea in phytotherapy, to describe antioxidant materials from plant sources. R. crataegifolius fruits were extracted with methanol and further fractionated into n-hexane, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate. The antioxidant activity of each fraction and the residue was assessed using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), H2O2 radical scavenging method, and their cytotoxicity on human primary kerationcyte (HK) was determined by an MTS assay. The R. crataegifolius fruit methanol extract showed strong antioxidant activity (75.04%, 50%) compared with vitamin C (79.9%, 54.1%) by the DPPH, and H2O2 method, respectively. The measured activity from the subsequent extracts of the methanol extract were 20.3% for n-hexane fraction (HF), 68.8% for diethyl ether fraction (DF), 67.1% for ethyl acetate fraction (EF), and 67.1% for the residue fraction (RE) by DPPH and 2.2% for HF, 1.6% for DF, 10% for EF, and 50% for the RE by H2O2 assay. An oxidative stress model of HK was established under a suitable concentration (1 mM). The cell viability of the RE treated group increased and the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased at concentrations of 0.005-0.02% RE compared with the H2O2 treated group. Fruit extracts of the medicinal plant R. crataegifolius showed potent antioxidant activity and the ability to relieve cell damage from H2O2 induced injury to HK.
