The antioxidant properties of the extracts from torrefied wood subjected to superheated steam treatment were investigated. Total polyphenolics, total flavonoids, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) were determined to evaluate antioxidant activity. The total polyphenol content was 879.67±40.41 ㎎/mL at a concentration of 25 g/mL when the extract was subjected to a temperature of 300℃ for 10 min, and 759.67±25.17 ㎎/mL at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 350℃ for 10 min. The value of at 300℃ was 15.79% higher than that obtained at 350℃. Total flavonoid content was 111.18±3.55 ㎎/mL at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 300℃ for 10 min, and 80.58±2.58 ㎎/mL at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 350℃ for 10 min. The value at 300℃ was 37.97% higher than that obtained at 350℃. For the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the highest scavenging activity was observed at a concentration of 6 g/mL. DPPH free radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 6 g/mL at 300℃ for 10 min was 89.83±0.03%, whereas at 350℃ for 10 min at the same concentration, it was found to be 87.99±0.1%. The value at 300℃ was 2.09% higher than that obtained at 350℃. Reducing power was determined to be 3.59±0.04 at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 300℃ for 10 min, and 2.92±0.1 at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 350℃ for 10 min. The value at 300℃ was 22.94% higher than that obtained at 350℃. FRAP was 1742±37 μM at a concentration of 25 g/mL at 300℃ for 10 min, and 1106±8 μM at a at 350℃ for 10 min. At 300℃, the FRAP value was 57.50% higher than that obtained at 350℃. Based on these results, we suggest that torrefied wood treated with superheated steam can be used in various applications because of its effective antioxidant properties.

노랑느타리버섯의 항산화 활성을 측정하여 효율적 추출조건을 예측하기 위해 마이크로웨이브 에너지, 에탄올 농도, 추출시간의 요인변수를 중심합성법에 따라 설정하여 반응표면분석을 통해 최적화 조건을 설정하였다. 노랑느타리버섯 추출물의 수율, 전자공여작용, SOD 유사 활성, 총 폴리페놀 함량에 대한 반응표면의 회귀식 R² 값이 각각 0.91, 0.87, 0.86 및 0.87로 분석되었고, 수율은 P<0.01, 항산화 활성이 P<0.05에서 유의적 수준을 나타냈다. 노랑느타리버섯은 요인변수에 따라 수율, 전자공여작용, 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우 마이크로웨이브 에너지의 영향을 가장 많이 받았고, SOD유사 활성의 경우 에탄올 농도에 따른 유의적 차이를 보였다. 추출물의 각 특성을 모두 만족시키는 최적의 추출조건의 범위는 superimposing 하여 마이크로웨이브 에너지 71.48~92.84 watts, 에탄올 농도 55.01~71.66%, 추출시간 3~9분으로 예측되었다. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize extraction conditions of Pleurotus cornocopiae. Coefficients of determination (R²) for dependent variables ranged from 0.86 at 0.91. Maximum extraction yield was 40.81% under the following conditions: microwave power of 60.08 watts, ethanolic concentration of 12.33%, and extraction time of 6.86 min. Maximum extraction electron donating ability was 35.72% at 44.13 watts, 19.30%, and 4.21 min. Maximum extraction superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity was 34.87% at 114.01 watts, 65.88%, and 1.56 min. Maximum extraction total polyphenol content was 31.77 mg/g at 50.52 watts, 23.00% and 2.90 min. Based on the superimposition of four dimensional RSM with respect to extraction yield, electron donating ability, SOD-like activity, and total polyphenol content obtained under various extraction conditions, the optimum ranges of extraction conditions were as follows: microwave power of 71.48~92.84 watts, ethanol concentration of 55.01~71.66%, and extraction time of 3~9 min.

Song, Jae-Young,Choi, Yeo-Jeong,Kim, Jeong-Min,Kim, Yoo-Ree,Jo, Jin-Seong,Park, Jin-Sik,Park, Hee-Jin,Song, Yun-Gyu,Lee, Kon-Ho,Kang, Hyung-Lyun,Baik, Seung-Chul,Youn, Hee-Shang,Cho, Myung-Je,Rhee, Kw The Korean Society for Microbiology 2011 Journal of Bacteriology and Virology Vol.41 No.4

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extract of H. pylori. The purified enzyme consisted of heavy and light subunits with molecular weights of 38 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of heavy and light subunits revealed that H. pylori GGT was processed into 3 parts for a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues, a heavy subunit of 352 residues, and a light subunit of 188 residues during translation. The reaction rate for hydrolysis of ${\gamma}$-GpNA was 84.4 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein, and that for the ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transfer from ${\gamma}$-GpNA to gly-gly was 23.8 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein. The apparent Km values of H. pylori GGT for ${\gamma}$-glutamyl compounds were on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ M and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ M. The GGT protein kept approximately 80% of the initial enzymatic activity on incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The optimum temperature and pH for reactions of both hydrolysis and transpeptidation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The transpeptidation and hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by H. pylori GGT were strongly inhibited by L-Gln and moderately inhibited by L-Ala, L-Ser, ${\beta}$-chloro-L-Ala, and L-Glu. These results demonstrated that the biochemical properties of H. pylori GGT are different from those of other bacterial GGTs. Further, H. pylori GGT might degrade glutathione in the gastric mucous layer of humans if the enzyme could be secreted in the bacterial niches.

2017년 유럽에서 피프로닐에 오염된 계란이 유통된데 이어 국내에서 생산된 일부 계란에서도 살충제가 검출되었다. 피프로닐은 진드기 방제 목적으로 사용되는 살충제로 sulfide, sulfone, amide, sulfoxide의 대사산물을 생성한다. 피프로닐은 물에 1.9 mg/L 정도 용해되고, 아세톤에 545.9g/L가 용해되는 성질이 있어 시료 채취시 아세톤을 사용한다. 농장시설 등에 부착된 피프로닐을 제거하기 위해 5% 탄산나트륨(Na2CO3)과 15% 과산화수소(H2O2)를 권장하고 있다. 이는 피프로닐을 피프로닐설폰으로 산화시킨 다음 반복적으로 사용하여 제거한다. 이러한 제거 작업을 통해 피프로닐이 제거된 정도를 조사할 필요가 있고, 이를 위한 분석법 정립이 필요하다. 시료를 250 mL 용기에 넣고 1% 함유 아세토니트릴 100 mL을 주가하여 10분간 격렬하게 진탕한 후, 3500 rpm으로 원심분리를 하였다. 추출액 1 mL을 0.2 um 멤브레인필터로 여과하여 시험용액으로 하였다. 칼럼은 C18(2.0 mm I.d×50mm, 3 um)을 사용하였고, 이동상은 0.1% 포름산 함유 메탄올과 0.1% 포름산 및 5 mM 아세트산암모늄이 함유된 물을 사용하였다. 분석조건으로 피프로닐의 선구이온은 437 m/z, 생성이온은 368, 255, 290 m/z, positive 조건으로 분석하였고, 피프로닐 설폰의 선구이온은 451 m/z, 생성이온은 415, 282, 244 m/z negative 조건으로 분석하였다. 분석법의 정량한계는 피프로닐 0.92 ug/kg, 피프로닐설폰 0.70 ug/kg이었다. 피프로닐과 피프로닐 설폰을 각각 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 ug/kg 수준으로 검량선을 작성한 결과, r2는 모두 0.9999이었다. 10 ug/kg과 50 ug/kg 수준의 3반복 회수율 실험결과, 10ug/kg 수준에서 피프로닐은 74.7±0.56%, 피프로닐 설폰은 88.9± 0.27%로 나타났다. 50 ug/kg 수준에서는 피프로닐은 78.6±0.11%, 피프로닐 설폰은 95.2±0.02%로 유효회수율 범위(70~120%)에 포함되었다. 머무름 시간은 피프로닐 5.3 mim, 피프로닐 설폰은 5.7min에서 검출되었다. 교차확인 목적으로 LC/MS/MS로 분석한 시료를 GC/μ-ECD로 분석을 하였다. 분석조건은 주입구 온도 250℃, (5%-Phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane이 충진된 30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 um길이의 칼럼이다. 오븐온도는 130℃에서 300℃까지 승온 조건으로 분석하였고, 머무름시간은 피프로닐 11.64 min, 피프로닐 설폰12.79 min으로 LC/MS/MS와 GC/μ-ECD 모두 표준물질과 시료의 결과가 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 정립된 분석법은 피프로닐 오염도조사를 위한 분석법으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Process Design and Fabrication of Sample for Non‑contact Liquid Crystal Alignment with High Yield

Min‑kyu Seo,Jeong‑min Han,Jin‑geun Shon 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.1

In this study, we report the results of an experiment for aligning liquid crystals (LCs) by irradiating ultraviolet rays that are not polarized to an alignment layer, and a simulation result on the alignment principle. In the case of irradiating un-polarized ultraviolet rays to the substrate coated with the alignment flm, there have been many experimental reports on the alignment mechanism of the LC due to the anisotropy generated in the substrate, but the theoretical approach is somewhat lacking. As a result of the experiment, the best orientation was observed at around 45°. As a result of the simulation, it was found that the maximum diference between the p-polarization and the s-polarization was within the range of similar angles there was. The theoretical approach to the alignment mechanism of LC was possible. And we have experimentally confrmed that the mechanism of liquid crystal alignment by conventional Groove theory is possible by irradiation of unpolarized UV light. The AFM analysis confrmed that the surface anisotropy that causes this orientation principle actually occurs in the unpolarized UV light. It is expected that this non-contact orientation method can realize higher production yield than the conventional contact type rubbing method, and the result of this study could contribute to the improvement of the yield.

정신영,이재태,서명랑,유정아,배진호,안병철,황재석,정재민,하정희,이규보 대한핵의학회 2003 핵의학 분자영상 Vol.37 No.6

목적: ^(99m)Tc-lactosylated serum albumin (^(99m)Tc-LSA)은 간세포에 특이적으로 결합하는 간수용체 영상용 방사성의약품으로 새로이 합성되었다. 간섬유화를 유발하는 dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)을 투여한 간 손상 휜쥐 모델에서 ^(99m)Tc-LSa의 역동학적인 간섭취를 조사하고 간효소치의 변화와 조직학적 소견을 비교하여, LSA의 간섭취가 간기능의 변화를 반영하는지를 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: SD계 흰쥐에 DMN를 27 mg/kg으로 복강 내 주사하여 급성 간손상을 유도하고 대조군과 비교하였다. DMN을 주사한 흰쥐를 3일(DMN-3), 8일(DMN-8), 21일(DMN-21)에 ^(99m)Tc=LSA (1,665 mg/kg) 29 MBq를 정맥 주사하여, 30분 동안 동적 영상을 획득하고 간과 신장부위에 관심영역을 설정하여 간과 심장부위의 시간방사능 곡선을 얻었다. 간기능 평가를 위해 시간방사능 곡선을 이용하여 간섭취지수와 혈중제거지수를 구하였고 곡선 최적화를 시행하였다. DMN 투여군과 대조군의 간효소치의 변화와 간조직의 광학현미경 소견을 비교하였다. 결과: 대조군에서는 ^(99m)Tc-LSA가 빠르게 간에 섭취되고 혈중에서 제거되었으나 DMN을 처리한 군에서는 간섭취가 낮았다. 간섭취지수의 비교에서 대조군에 비해 DMN 처리군에서 유의하게 간섭취지수가 낮았다(DMN-3: 0.842, DMN-8: 0.898, DMN-21: 0.91, 대조군: 0.96, p<0.05). 혈중제거지수의 비교에서도 대조군에 비해 DMN 처리군에서 혈중제거지수가 유의하게 높았다(DMN-3: 0.731, DMN-8: 0.654, DMN-21: 0.604, 대조군: 0.473, p<0.05). 비선형 회귀분석에서 R_(2) 값은 0.9이상으로 좋은 일치를 보였고, 대조군에ㅓ K값이 DMN처리군에 비해 크고(DMN-3: 0.28, DMN-8: 0.41, DMN-21: 0.46, 대조군: 0.97, p<0.05), T_(1/2)값은 작았다(DMN-3: 2.5, DMN-8: 1.7, DMN-21: 1.5, 대조군: 0.7, p<0.05). 간효소치의 변화는 DMN-3군에서는 대조군에 비해 상승하였으나 DMN-8, DMN-21군에서는 간효소치의 상승이 관찰되지 않았다. 간조직 소견의 경우 DMN-3군에서 중심정맥 주위에 괴사가 관찰되었으나 DMN-8군, DMN-21군에서는 미약한 정도의 염증세포 침윤만이 관찰되었다. 결론: ^(99m)Tc-LSA 간신티그래피의 간섭취 정도는 간손상과 반비례하였으며 간섭취의 변화는 조직학적 손상이 심한 정도와 간손상후 회복되는 과정을 반영하여 주었다. ^(99m)Tc-LSA 간신티그래피가 간손상을 평가하고 간손상후 회복되는 과정을 추적하는 간수용체 영상용 방사성 의약품으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Objects: ^(99m)Tc-lactosylated human serum albumin(LSA) is a newly synthesized radiopharmaceutical that binds to asialoglycoprotein receptors, which are specifically presented on the hepatocyte membrane. Hepatic uptake and blood clearance of LSA were evaluated in rat with acute hepatic injury induced by dimethylnitrosamine(DMN) and results were compared with corresponding findings of liver enzyme profile and these of histologic changes. Materials and Methods: DMN (27 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally in Sprague-Dawley rat to induce acute hepatic injury. At 3(DMN-3), 8(DMN-8), and 21(DMN-21) days after injection of DMN, LSA injected intravenously, and dynamic images of the liver and heart were recorded for 30 minutes. Time-activity curves of the heart and liver were generated from regions of interest drawn over liver and heart area. Degree of hepatic uptake and blood clearance of LSA were evaluated with visual interpretation and semiquantitative analysis using parameters (receptor index : LHL3 and index of blood clearance : HH3), analysis of time-activity curve was also performed with curve fitting using Prism program. Results: Visual assessment of LSA images revealed decreased hepatic uptake in DMN treated rat, compared to control group. In semiquantitative analysis, LHL3 was significantly lower in DMN treated rat group than control rat group (DMN-3:0.842, DMN-8: 0.898, DMN-21: 0.91, Control: 0.96, p<0.05), whereas HH3 was significantly higher than control rat group (DMN-3: 0.731, DMN-8: 0.654, DMN-21: 0.604, Control: 0.473, p<0.05). AST and ALT were significantly higher in DMN-3 group than those of control group. Centrilobular necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells were most prominent in DMN-3 group, and were decreased over time. Conclusion: The degree of hepatic uptake of LSA was inversely correlated with liver transaminase and degree of histologic liver injury in rat with acute hepatic injury.

Avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND) distress a variety of avian species, especially domestic poultry. Severe syndromes are caused by highly virulent specific virus strains termed highly pathogenic AI and velogenic ND viruses, which are potential agrobioterrorism agents. This outbreak emphasizes the need for continuing cooperation between public health and veterinary medical communities in controlling AI and ND when it has a zoonotic potential. Up to date, the stamping out and burying system were applied for controlling methods against these highly infectious diseases in the ordinary way, however these methods had many environmental problems, including leachat and effluvium. Thus, we assessed that sterilization effect of AI and ND virus dependent on several treatment conditions, such as autoclaving time and cutting types of chicken. As a result, we found that the cutting type of chicken meat revealed a reduced HA titer (20) against both of AI and ND virus after 10 min of autoclaving, while whole chicken showed same titer after 30 and 60 min. Therefore, we propose that the conditions of treatment on infected chicken should be developed for convenient, affordable, and effective prevention methods against for AI and ND.

Silymarin Inhibits Cytokine-Stimulated Pancreatic Beta Cells by Blocking the ERK1/2 Pathway

( Eun Jeong Kim ),( Jee Ho Kim ),( Min Young Lee ),( Muddenahalli Srinivasa Sudhanva ),( Sundaravinayagam Devakumar ),( Young Jin Jeon ) 한국응용약물학회 2014 Biomolecules & Therapeutics(구 응용약물학회지) Vol.22 No.4

We show that silymarin, a polyphenolic fl avonoid isolated from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), inhibits cytokine mixture (CM: TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β)-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in the pancreatic beta cell line MIN6N8a. Immunostaining and Western blot analysis showed that silymarin inhibits iNOS gene expression. RT-PCR showed that silymarin inhibits iNOS gene expression in a dose-dependent manner. We also showed that silymarin inhibits extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-1 and 2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. A MEK1 inhibitor abrogated CM-induced nitrite production, similar to silymarin. Treatment of MIN6N8a cells with silymarin also inhibited CM-stimulated activation of NF-κB, which is important for iNOS transcription. Collectively, we demonstrate that silymarin inhibits NO production in pancreatic beta cells, and silymarin may represent a useful anti-diabetic agent.

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.
