Alcohol is well known agent which can damage the human tissues such as liver via stimulating lipid peroxidation and storage, denaturation of macromolecules, and inhibiting protein metabolism. On the other hand, carotenoids in addition to vitamins A, C, E and lipoic acid, play important roles in protecting these oxidative damages as well as preventing the production of free radicals. This study was carried out to elucidate the precise effects of alcohol administration into rats on the antioxidative functions of dietary carotenoids and isolated β-carotene, and to find out any parameters to uncover more detailed biochemical mechanisms of these agents. For these purposes, two different approaches were performed: 1) examination of the changes in hematological parameters (e.g., total proteins, A/G ratio, ALT/AST et. al) and statistical correlations among inter- and intragroups, 2) examination of the histopathological changes by an electron microscope. The results were analyzed and summarized as following; (1) Carrot diet for one week caused a slight increase in albumin. A/G ratio and AST levels, and a slight decrease in ALT, ALP, BUN and uric acid levels. Two-week alcohol administration following carrot diet increased total proteins, albumin A/G ratio and BUN levels. However, both groups were shown to have little significant changes in cholesterol concentrations. (2) Cheese diet for one week caused a significant increase in total proteins, albumin, AST, ALP, uric acid and total cholesterol levels, and a significant decrease in A/G ratio and glucose concentrations. However, two-week β-carotene diet following cheese intake increased total proteins albumin, A/G ratio, BUN and total cholesterol levels, whereas AST, ALT, ALP and uric acid levels were decreased. (3) Alcohol administration for one week caused an increase in AST activities and a decrease in total proteins, albumin, ALT, ALP and BUN levels. A successive β-carotene diet following alcohol administration increased total proteins, albumin, ALT, ALP and BUN levels, whereas decreased AST and uric acid levels. However, there were not significant changes in A/G ratio, glucose and total cholesterol levels in both groups. (4) β-carotene diet for one week caused a slight increase in albumin, glucose, AST and uric acid levels, and a slight decrease in ALP and BUN levels. Two-weeks alcohol administration following β-carotene diet increased albumin, glucose, BUN and total cholesterol levels, whereas decreased AST, ALT, ALP and uric acid levels. (5) Although the pathological investigation on the liver did not reveal significant changes, cheese diet group (CH-BC/1-CH) was shown to have some lipid deposits. Some results were unexpected and different from typical hematological changes shown by other researchers. Nonetheless, these results strongly suggest that the liver damage or hepatism caused by alcohol intake affects many kinds of biochemical metabolisms, which results in significant changes in many hematological parameters. In addition, dietary carotenoid and isolated β-carotene were shown to have protective roles against the biochemical changes by alcohol intake.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects on the changes of the r-glutamyl transpeptidase activity of ethanol-administered white rats. There was classified into group; ethanol treated group(group A), ethanol treated group which was pretreated with ginseng extract(group B), ginseng extract treated group(group C), and ginseng extract treated group which was pretreated with ethanol(group D). White rats of four groups were treated with combined 1% ginseng extract and / or 20% ethanol for 30 days, and were measured the changes of r-GTP activity on the serum, hepatic and renal tissue sample collected at 5 days interval. Following results have been obtained. 1. The changes of serum r-GTP activity were significantly decreased in ethanol treated group B which was pretreated with ginseng extract than in ethanol treated group A. The values were highly significant at the 20th day of feeding. 2. The changes of hepatic r-GTP activity were more increased in group A and decreased in group D. The values were found significantly lowest in 10th and highest in 5th days. 3. The changes of renal r-GTP activity were more increased in group A and decreased in group D. The values were significantly highest in 10th and lowest in 20th days. Based on these results it was found that the changes of r-GTP activity between serum and hepato-renal tissue were exist and the protective action of ginseng against alcohol degradative effects was noted.

Chang, Oliver,Choi, Eun-Kyung,Kim, Im-Ryung,Nam, Seok-Jin,Lee, Jeong Eon,Lee, Se Kyung,Im, Young-Hyuck,Park, Yeon Hee,Cho, Juhee Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.20

Background: Breast cancer patients experience a variety of altered appearance - such as loss or disfigurement of breasts, discolored skin, and hair loss - which result in psychological distress that affect their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status on the altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life among Korean breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at advocacy events held at 16 different hospitals in Korea. Subjects were eligible to participate if they were 18 years of age or older, had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, had no evidence of recurrence or metastasis, and had no psychological problems at the time of the survey. Employment status, marital status, education, and income were assessed for patient socioeconomic status. Altered appearance distress was measured using the NCI's cancer treatment side effects scale; body image and quality of life were measured by the EORTC QLC-C30 and BR23. Means and standard deviations of each outcome were compared by socioeconomic status and multivariate linear regression models for evaluating the association between socioeconomic status and altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life. Results: A total of 126 breast cancer patients participated in the study; the mean age of participants was 47.7 (SD=8.4). Of the total, 83.2% were married, 85.6% received more than high school education, 35.2% were employed, and 41% had more than $3000 in monthly household income. About 46% had mastectomy, and over 30% were receiving either chemotherapy or radiation therapy at the time of the survey. With fully adjusted models, the employed patients had significantly higher altered appearance distress (1.80 vs 1.48; p<0.05) and poorer body image (36.63 vs 51.69; p<0.05) compared to the patients who were unemployed. Higher education (10.58, standard error (SE)=7.63) and family income (12.88, SE=5.08) was positively associated with better body image after adjusting for age, disease stage at diagnosis, current treatment status, and breast surgery type. Similarly, patients who were married and who had higher education had better quality of life were statistically significant in the multivariate models. Conclusions: Socioeconomic status is significantly associated with altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life in Korean women with breast cancer. Patients who suffer from altered appearance distress or lower body image are much more likely to experience psychosocial, physical, and functional problems than women who do not, therefore health care providers should be aware of the changes and distresses that these breast cancer patients go through and provide specific information and psychosocial support to socioeconomically more vulnerable patients.

모든 진핵세포의 주요 단백질 분해요소인 proteasome은 변성되거나 상해된 불필요한 단백질을 제거할 뿐만 아니라, 세포주기를 비롯한 다양한 대사과정들의 주요 효소들을 필요 시 적절히 분해함으로써 항상성을 유지시키는 필수적인 효소로 잘 알려져 있다. 또한 proteasome은 특정 포유동물 조직의 계획된 세포죽음(programmed cell death 또는 apoptosis)와 밀접하게 관련되어 있다고 보고된 바, 본 연구에서는 담배 박각시나방(Manduca sexta)의 변태과정에서 일어나는 마디간 근육(intersegmental muscle)의 급격한 파괴과정동안의 proteasome의 변화양상을 발현 및 단백질 분해활성을 중점으로 조사하였다. 정상근육과 파괴직전의 근육으로부터 proteasome을 분석한 결과 단백질 분해활성이 최소한 6배 이상 증가하였으며, proteasome의 주요 구성성분들의 발현 변화를 각각의 항체(antibody)를 이용하여 조사한 결과 세포죽음 직전에 급격히 증가함을 보였다. 이러한 구성성분들의 발현증가가 proteasome 복합체 형성을 통해 활성의 증가를 일으키는지 조사한 결과, 세포내에서 실질적으로 단백질 분해활성을 담당한다고 여겨지는 26S proteasome(2,000 kDa)의 위치에서 커다란 활성의 변화와 구성성분의 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 따라서, 담배 박각시나방의 계획된 세포죽음 현상은 특정 호르몬의 신호에 의해 proteasome의 발현이 급격히 증가하여 26S proteasome의 복합체 형태로 세포 내 대부분의 단백질들을 분해함으로써 30시간이내 근육조직을 완전히 소멸시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편, proteasome을 구성하는 특정 구성성분의 과다 발현이 세포의 단백질 분해현상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 조사하기 위하여 쥐의 fibroblast cell에 26S proteasome의 ATPase 구성성분인 m56 유전자를 삽입한 후 세포의 추출물로부터 proteasome의 양과 활성의 변화를 관찰하였다. Proteasome을 초원심분리로 추출하여 관찰한 결과, 담배 박각시나방의 경우와는 달리 유전자 삽입 세포는 모든 실험에서 정상 세포와 전혀 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이 결과로부터 세포의 생명 유지에 필수적이고 매우 다양한 기능을 가진 proteasome은 40여개의 구성성분들의 발현이 매우 정교하게 조절되고 있으며, 특정 세포죽음 자극(apoptotic signal)이 왔을 때 일련의 구성 성분들의 발현과 26S proteasome 복합체 형성이 증가함으로써 그 기능을 수행하는 것을 알 수 있으며, 보다 자세한 연구는 비정상적 단백질 분해나 세포죽음을 동반하는 여러 질환들의 원인과 현상을 규명할 수 있으며, 또한 그 활성을 조절함으로써 궁극적인 치료의 방향도 제시 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

이동 애드혹 네트워크를 위한 경로 지속성을 고려한 거리벡터 멀티케스트 프로토콜

이세영(Se-young Lee),장형수(Hyeong-soo Chang) 한국정보과학회 2006 정보과학회논문지 : 정보통신 Vol.33 No.6

본 논문에서는 distance vector 라우팅 알고리즘에 경로 지속성에 대한 분석을 적용한 Durable Distance Vector Multicast(DDVM) 알고리즘을 제안한다. DDVM은 기존의 distance vector 알고리즘에 PATHS의 분석 내용을 기반으로 한 경로 지속성 정보를 포함하여 견고한 멀티캐스팅 경로를 구성한다. 또한 경로 정보에 목적지까지의 세부적인 경로의 지속성 정보 역시 포함하여 멀티캐스팅 경로형성의 실패율을 줄이고 보다 지속성 있는 경로를 멀티캐스팅 경로에 포함시킨다. 이러한 경로들을 통해 멀티캐스팅을 수행함으로서 high mobility 환경에서 기존의 알고리즘보다 높은 전송률을 보이며, 실험 결과를 통해 이를 확인할 수 있다. In this paper, we propose a novel on-demand multicasting algorithm, "Durable Distance Vector Multicasting (DDVM)," for Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET). DDVM has a more efficient routing-control complexity than Link State Routing(LSR) and with the smaller complexity, DDVM provides a high delivery ratio for MANET with high mobility by adapting to dynamic topological changes. This is achieved by adding "combined path durability" statistic into the routing-control information of Distance Vector Routing(DVR). The routing-path duration statistic is computed in a fully distributed manner at each node in the network based on only local information from neighbour nodes. We show by simulation studies the effectiveness of DDVM compared with On-demand Multicast Routing Protocol(ODMRP).

This was an experimental study to evaluate temperature reduction and evapotranspiration of extensive green roof. Three test cells with a dimension of 1.2(W)×1.2(D)×1.0(H) meters were built using 4-inch concrete blocks. Ten-centimeter concrete slab was installed on top of each cell. The first cell was control cell with no green roof installed. The second and third cells were covered with medium-leaf type Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) above a layer of soil. Soil thickness on the second cell was 10cm and that on the third cell was 20cm. Air temperature, relative humidity and solar irradiance were measured using AWS (automatic weather system). Temperature on top surface and ceiling of the control cell and temperature on top surface, below soil and ceiling of green roof cells was measured. Evapotranspiration of the green roof cells were measured using weight changes. Compared with temperature difference on the control cell, temperature difference was greater on green roof cells. Between two green roof cells, the temperature difference was greater on the third cell with a thicker soil layer. Temperature differences below soil and on ceilings of green roof cells were found greater than those of the control cell. Between the green roof cells, there was no difference in the temperature reduction effects below soil and on ceilings based on substrate depth. In summary, green roof was found effective in temperature reduction due to evapotranspiration and shading effect.

The eukaryotic 26S proteasome is an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic complex consisting of the 20S core particle and 19S ATPase complex. However, because of its complexity and unstable properties, this study was carried out to present more simple and stable model for the ATP-activated proteolytic complex in prokaryotes which can take the place of the eukaryotic 26S proteasome. For this purpose, recombinant Thermoplasma 20S proteasome (T20S) and Methanococcus MS4, a sequence homolog of one ATPase subunit in the 19S ATPase complex, were successfully isolated from Escherichia coli (E. coli). The α and β subunits of T20S expressed in E. coli could assemble for themselves, and showed the peptide-hydrolyzing activity. Whereas both T20S and R20S (the 20S complex from rabbit skeletal muscle) had the highest peptidase activity against Suc-LLVY-AMC, a good substrate for chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity, the specific activity of T20S was slightly lower than that of R20S. In addition, several reagents such as KCI, SDS, and ovalbumin were shown to have different effects on the peptidase activities between T20S and R20S. When the ATPase activity of the purified MS4 were assayed , the Km for ATP was about 0.5 mM, and casein could stimulate the activity more than 2 fold without the change in Km. This result implicates that protein-activated ATPase may induce the conformational change of casein, and therefore suggests that MS4 ATPase may activate the proteolytic activity of the 20S proteasome via accelerating the recognition and translocation of the protein substrates.
