Background: The beneficial effects of ginsenoside species have been well demonstrated in a number of studies. However, the function of ginsenoside Ro (GRo), an oleanane-type saponin, has not been sufficiently investigated. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of GRo in vitro using the Raw 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to clarify the possible mechanism of GRo involving heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which itself plays a critical role in self-defense in the presence of inflammatory stress. Methods: Raw 264.7 cells were pretreated with GRo (up to $200{\mu}M$) for 1 h before treatment with 1 mg/mL LPS, and both cell viability and inflammatory markers involving HO-1 were evaluated. Results: GRo significantly increased cell viability in a dose dependent manner following treatment with LPS, and decreased levels of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. GRo decreased inflammatory cytokines such as nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 induced by LPS. Moreover, GRo increased the expression of HO-1 in a dose dependent manner. Cotreatment of GRo with tin protoporphyrin IX, a selective inhibitor of HO-1, not only inhibited upregulation of HO-1 induced by GRo, but also reversed the anti-inflammatory effect of GRo in LPS treated Raw 264.7 cells. Conclusion: GRo induces anti-inflammatory effects following treatment with LPS via upregulation of HO-1.

Quercetin, a member of the flavonoids,has been heralded as chemopreventive agent, generally because of its free radical-scavenging and antiproliferative activities. In this process, NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative damage; however, the exact mechanisms in which bronchial epithelial cells respond to quercetin by activating Nrf2 are not fully understood. Here, we report the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation in response to quercetin. Quercetin treatment decreased the viability of human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ERK1/2 was activated within 10 min of quercetin addition and then remained increased above control level throughout 48 h, whereas AKT phosphorylation was suppressed from the first 1 h of quercetin treatment. Inhibition of Erk1/2 phosphorylation attenuated quercetin-induced loss of cell viability. Nrf2levels in both nuclear and whole cell lysates increased after quercetin treatment and was accompanied by the increase of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein level,indicating that increased HO-1 expression is Nrf2-mediated. Activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 system after quercetin treatment was suppressed by the pretreatment with MEK inhibitor, PD98059. Also, silencing Nrf2 with siRNA decreased cell viability and augmented cytotoxic effect of anticancer drug LBH589. Overall, our results indicate that quercetin induces the up-regulation of Nrf2-mediated HO-1 expression, at least in part, via MEK/ERK1/2 signaling, as an adaptive mechanism which may provide advantages for cell proliferation and enhance survival despite endogenous and/or exogenous oxidative insults.

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

팥과 녹두의 이소플라빈 함량과 항산화 및 혈전용해 활성

오혜숙,김준호,이명희 한국조리과학회 2003 한국식품조리과학회지 Vol.19 No.3

팥과 녹두는 떡의 소나 앙금 등 주로 전분의 특성을 이용하는 형태로 소비가 제한적인 편이다. 식생활을 통해 질병의 예방 및 개선 가능성이 대두되면서 각종 식물체로부터 여러 생리활성물질의 활성 탐구 및 추출에 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있으나, 대두와 같은 두류로 분류되는 팥과 녹두의 경우 이들 생리활성물질에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 대두에 비해 상대적으로 연구가 미진한 팥과 녹두의 생리활성 및 이소플라본 함량을 조사하였고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 팥과 녹두에서는 daidzein이 검출되지 않았고, genistein은 건조중량 1㎏당 40.7 mg과 27.8 mg이 들어있었다. 2. 팥과 녹두의 전자공여능은 90%의 활성을 보인 팥이 84.6%의 활성을 나타낸 녹두에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 3. 팥과 녹두의 SOD 유사활성 역시 거의 같은 수준으로 높았고, 매우 안정적이었다. 4. 혈전용해능은 팥의 경우 원액에서는 활성이 없었으나, 추출액의 pH를 6.4로 조절한 후 18시간 동안 냉장처리한 결과 비교적 큰 활성을 보였으며, pH 3.0으로 조절시 더욱 증가하였다. 녹두는 추출액을 pH 6.4와 3.0으로 조절시 모두 비활성도가 증가하였으나 pH 3.0에서는 pH 6.4보다 활성이 낮았다. 이들 시료는 36℃에서 배양시 14시간 까지는 반응을 거의 보이지 않다가 15시간이 지나면서 활성이 크게 나타나는 특이성을 보였다. 5. 열처리가 혈전용해활성에 미치는 영향을 비교해 보면, 팥과 녹두 모두 100℃에서 10분 처리시 가장 활성이 컸고, 그 다음이 55℃에서 30분, 100℃에서 30분 순으로 유사한 양상을 보였다. 특히 100℃에서 10분간의 열처리시 55℃에서 30분 처리한 것에 비해 혈전용해활성이 증가한 것으로 미루어 팥과 녹두의 혈전용해활성은 열에 대한 안정성이 크다고 할 수 있다. 반면 100℃에서 30분간의 과도한 열처리는 활성의 저하를 초래했다. This study was conducted to investigate the isoflavone (daidzein and genistein) contents. and the antioxidative and fibrinolytic activities of red and mung beans. Daidzein was not found in either the red or mung beans. The genistein contents of the red and mung beans were 40.7 and 27.8 mg/kg, respectively. Both samples had very high electron donating abilities and SOD-like activities. Fibrinolytic activities were not detected in the crude mung bean extract, but fibrinolytic substances were purified or activated under various pH conditions and with heat treatments. With heat treatment at 100℃ for 10 min. the specific activity was increased 4.61 fold. This study revealed that. although red and mung beans were poor in isoflavone, they could be good sources for functional products due to their strong antioxidative activities and heat- and acid-resistant proteolytic abilities.

만화 과제를 이용한 정신분열병 환자의 사회인지 능력의 측정

오정은,나명현,하태현,신용욱,노규식,홍순범,이경진,신민섭,이영호,권준수 大韓神經精神醫學會 2005 신경정신의학 Vol.44 No.3

Objectives : This study is to investigate the hypothesis that schizophrenic patients have difficulty in inferring mental state of others. Methods : Twenty schizophrenic patients and twenty normal subjects were administered to the Cartoon Task required inferring the character's intention in a given context. Results : The schizophrenic patients showed a statistically significant impairment in the Cartoon Task. Both groups chose the card depicting a frequent everyday action significantly more rather than the similar card to the last picture in each story for wrong answers. Conclusion : These preliminary results suggest that schizophrenia is associated with a specific deficit of the cognitive ability referred to as social cognition, and this deficit can be detected not only in the acute phase as found in previous research studies, but also in remission. Also when subjects fail to appreciate what is going on in the minds of other people, they seem to rely on a socially familiar experience.

시험관내에서 Superoxide Radical 생성과 Catalase 및 Superoxide Dismutase 활성도에 미치는 카드뮴의 영향

오명호,박정덕,정규철 중앙대학교 의과대학 의과학연구소 1987 中央醫大誌 Vol.14 No.2

Effect of cadmium on production of superoxide radical and activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in homogenates, cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions of liver, kidney and testis of rats was studied. Inhibition dose (I_50), concentration.of cadmium required for inhibition of the enzyme activity to 50% level, was calculated by probit method. Cadmium enhanced the production of superoxide radical in homogenate as much as 10.6, 1.3 and 2.8 times than control value in liver, kidney and testis, respectively, when cadmium concentrations ranged from 0.05 to 0.50 mM. Activity of catalase in homogenates was inhibited by addition of cadmium ranging from 0.1 to 50.0 mM. The I_50 of cadmium for catalase in homogenates of liver, kidney and testis were 18.86, 34.59 and 0.79 mM, respectively. Cadmium also inhibited the activities of Cu, Zn-SOD in cytosol fractions and Mn-SOD in mitochondrial fractions. The I_50 for Cu, Zn-SOD activity in cytosol fractions of liver, kidney and testis were 0.049, 0.118 and 0.030 mM, respectively, and for Mn-SOD activity in mitochondrial fractions were 0.905, 0.713 and 0.510 mM, respectively. In vitro inhibition of the enzyme activities by cadmium was dose-dependent. The inhibitory effect of cadmium on enzyme activities was most potent in testis suggesting that testis would be one of the most sensitive organs to cadmium.
