Background: The mechanism of the closure of umbilical vessels is known to be multifactorial. In order to verify that apoptosis is one of the possible closure mechanisms, we studied to identify apoptosis in umbilical vessels and evaluate its mechanism by studying apoptosis-related gene and the relationship between the pattern of apoptosis and gestational age (GA). Methods: Twelve umbilical cords of GA of 37-42 weeks were obtained immediatly (less than 10 min. for minimal ongoing external influences) after birth. The presence of apoptotic cells was demonstrated by electron microscopy (EM) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Immnohistochemical staining and Western blotting were used for the analysis of the proteins of apoptosis-related gene. Results: Apoptosis of the smooth muscle cells of media and intima of umbilical vessels was identified at EM, regardless of GA from 37 to 42 weeks. The proportion of TUNEL(+) cells was 80% in intima, 40% in media, 80% in connective tissue of umbilical cord. The expressions of bax-a, bcl-Xs/L were strong in intima, in media and connective tissue, but those of bcl-2 were detected in only in connective tissue, regardless of GA in immunohistochemistry. The ratios of expressions of bax- a to bc1-2, bcl-Xs to bcl-XL, did not change with increasing GA from 37 to 42 weeks in Western blot- ting. Conclusion: Apoptosis was identified in umbilical vessels. The closure of umbilical vessels can be explained by apoptosis where the ratios of bax-a/bcl-2, bcl-Xs/ bcl-XL play an important role. The fact that there were no differences in the extent of apoptosis and the expressions of bax-a/bcl-2, bcl-Xs/bcl-XL according to GA, suggests that apoptosis of umbilical vessels is more dependent on the external stimuli during delivery than GA.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), the most common form of systemic vasculitis in adults, preferentially involves large and medium-sized arteries in patients over the age of 50. The classic manifestations are headaches, jaw claudication, polymyalgia rheumatica, and visual symptoms. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by a block in the differentiation of hematopoiesis, resulting in the growth of a clonal population of neoplastic cells or blasts. This malignant alteration in hematopoietic stem cells leads to a loss of normal hematopoietic function, which, if left untreated, typically leads to death within weeks to months of its clinical presentation. Although there have been reports of CLL or CML accompanied by several kinds of autoimmune vascular diseases, such as polymyalgia rheumatica, GCA, or necrotizing temporal arteritis, no studies have reported a case of AML with GCA. We experienced an 80-year-old male patient who developed AML 6 years after the diagnosis of GCA. He was under the use of oral glucocorticoid, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate at the time of the diagnosis of the AML. This is the first case in Korea to report GCA accompanied by AML.

Objectives : Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease caused by disorder of energy balance and lipid metabolism. This study was conducted by histopathology and histomorphometry to investigate the anti-obesity effects of mixed water extract of Plantaginis Semen & Poria (CJB) on liver, epididymal fat pads and pancreas zymogen granules in obese rats induced with high fat diet, Method : Male Sprague-Dawley rats to be divided four groups were fed into four different treatments: normal (NOR) diet, high-fat (HF) diet, HF diet+CJB (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, P.O.) for 8 weeks. The weekly body weights were measured in four experimental groups, respectively. Also histopathological and histomorphometrical changes of liver, epididymal fat pads and pancreas zymogen granules were observed in normal control and obese rats, respectively, Results : Adminstration of CJB significantly reduced body weights compared to those of HF group for experimental period. After 8 weeks, liver weights in the CJB groups were lower than those of HF group. In addition, HF diet related steatohepatitis, adipocyte hypertrophy, exocrine disturbances (decreases of pancreatic zymogen granules) were also dose-dependently inhibited by treatment of test material, CJB 100 and CJB 300 as compared with HF group, respectively, Conclusion : Based on the results, it is considered that CJB will be showed hepatoprotective and anti-obese effects, may be directly and/or indirectly mediated by pancreatic zymogen granules because they dose-dependently inhibited steatohepatitis, hypertrophy of adipocytes and decreases of pancreatic zymogen granules induced by HF diet supply, respectively.

최근 중추신경계에서 면역기능을 담당하는 미세아교세포(microglia)의 염증반응을 효율적으로 조절하는 것은 알츠하이머 병, 파킨슨 병 및 헌팅턴 병과 같은 퇴행성 뇌질환의 치료를 위한 중요한 타겟으로 인식되고 있다. 왕귀뚜라미(Teleogryllus emma)는 다양한 치료효능으로 인해 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있으며, 본 연구팀에서는 최근 왕귀뚜라미의 전사체 분석을 통하여 항균활성을 가지는 다양한 종류의 새로운 항균 펩타이드(antimicrobial peptide; AMP) 후보들을 선별한 바 있다. 항균 펩타이드는 미생물에서부터 포유류까지 매우 다양한 종으로부터 발견되었으며, 현재는 항균활성뿐만 아니라 염증반응과 같은 다양한 질병의 치료제 개발을 위한 후보 물질로 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통하여 선별된 왕귀뚜라미 유래 항균 펩타이드들 중에서 Teleogryllusine (VKWKR-LNNNKVLQKIYFVKI-NH₂)으로 명명된 항균 펩타이드의 신경염증 억제 효능을 관찰하였다. Teleogryllusine의 신경염증 억제 효능을 관찰 하기 위하여 immortalized mouse microglia 세포주인 BV-2 세포에 Teleogryllusine을 1시간 전처리 한 후 LPS를 이용하여 BV-2 세포의 염증 반응을 유도하였다. 그 결과 Teleogryllusin은 최대 처리 농도인 80 μg/ml까지 세포독성 없이 nitric oxide (NO) 생성을 현저히 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 염증반응 매개인자인 iNOS와 COX-2 및 cytokine (Il-6, TNF-α)의 발현을 유전자 수준과 단백질 수준에서 확인한 결과 Teleogryllusine 처리농도에 의존적으로 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Teleogryllusine의 신경염증 억제작용 기작을 확인한 결과 mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs)와 IκB의 인산화 및 proteosome에 의한 IκB의 분해를 억제함으로서 BV-2 세포의 신경염증반응이 조절됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 왕귀뚜라미 유래 Teleogryllusine 펩타이드는 신경염증반응에 의해 유도되는 퇴행성 뇌질환 치료 및 예방을 위한 의료용 소재로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. The suppression of neuroinflammatory responses in microglial cells, well known as the main immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), are considered a key target for improving the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Teleogryllus emma is widely consumed around the world for its broad-spectrum therapeutic effect. In a previous work, we performed transcriptome analysis on T. emma in order to obtain the diversity and activity of its antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are found in a variety of species, from microorganisms to mammals. They have received much attention as candidates oftherapeutic drugs for the treatment of inflammation-associated diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti- neuroinflammatory effect of Teleogryllusine (VKWKRLNNNKVLQKIYFVKI-NH₂) derived from T. emma on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced BV-2 microglia cells. Teleogryllusine significantly inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production without cytotoxicity, and reducing pro-inflammatory enzymes expression such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). In addition, Telegryllusine also inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) through down-regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. These results suggest that T. emma- derived Teleogryllusine could be a good source of functional substances that prevent neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

마편초과(Verbenaceae)에 속하는 순비기나무(Vitex rotundifolia L.)의 열매를 건조한 만형자(Viticis Fructus)는 오래전부터 감기, 두통, 편두통, 눈의 통증, 근육통 및 염증치료를 위해 사용된 약용식물 자원이다. Vanillic acid(VA; 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid)는 만형자의 생리활성 분획에서 분리된 주요 화합물 중 하나이며, vanillin의 산화형으로 항산화, 항염증 및 항암 활성 등의 약리학적 특성에 대한 연구가 진행되었지만, VA가 골 대사에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 조골세포 MC3T3-E1 세포의 분화 및 무기질화에 대한 VA의 잠재적인 항골다공증 특성을 조사하였다. MC3T3-E1 세포는 분화배지에 0, 0.1, 1, 10 μg/mL 농도의 VA를 처리하여 3일, 6일 및 9일 동안 배양되었고, ALP 활성도, Von Kossa 및 Alizarin Red 염색법 등에 의해 조골세포의 활성 변화를 분석하였다. 골 관련 단백질 발현량은 western blot에 의해 분석되었다. MC3T3-E1 세포에서 9일 동안 10 μg/mL 농도의 VA를 처리했을 때 ALP 활성이 유의적으로 증가하였다. Von Kossa와 Alizarin Red 염색 결과 VA 처리 후 3일, 6일 및 9일차의 무기질화된 결절이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 또한, VA는 조골세포 성장 및 분화와 관련된 Runx2, ALP, Pro COLI, BMP 2/4 및 p-ERK와 같은 단백질의 발현량을 유의적으로 증가시켰다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해볼 때 VA가 MC3T3-E1 조골세포에서 골 관련 단백질 발현량을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 따라서 VA가 조골세포 분화 및 무기질화를 자극하여 항골다공증 효과를 발휘할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. Vanillic acid (VA), namely 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzoic acid, is one of the major compounds isolated from the bioactive fraction of Viticis Fructus. VA is derived from dihydroxybenzoic acid, an oxidized form of vanillin. Although studies on the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer pharmacologic properties of VA have been conducted, there is little research on the effect of VA on bone metabolism. The objective of the present study was to investigate the potential anti-osteoporotic properties of VA on the differentiation and mineralization in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. These cells were cultured in 0, 0.1, 1, 10 μg/mL VA for 3, 6, and 9 days. The MTT assay results showed that VA had not changed the osteoblastic cell proliferation. Extracellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity increased as VA concentration increased at 9 days. ALP staining was also elevated as VA concentration increased at 6 and 9 days. Markedly, VA significantly increased the mineralized nodules in a dose-dependent manner at 3, 6, and 9 days. In addition, VA significantly increased the expression of the bone differentiation marker ALP at 3 days. The expression of the bone-specific transcription factor Runx2 protein was also elevated in the VA-treated osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells at 3 days. The expression of the downstream regulator of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) signaling, phosphorylation of ERK (p-ERK) was slightly elevated in VA-treated osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells at 3 days. Our results suggest that VA regulates osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrate that VA may be useful in preventing osteoporosis through the stimulation of osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization.

The localization of substance P(SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) and three calcium binding proteins, calbindin D-28k(CB), calretinin(CR) and parvalbumin(PA) was immunohistochemically examined in the myenteric and submucous plexuses of Korean native goat duodenum. In the neurons of myenteric and submucous plexuses of duodenum, immunoreactivities of SP, CGRP and CB were confirmed in both nerve cell bodies and fibers. In contrast, CR immunoreactivity was found only in nerve fibers of myenteric plexuses, while PA immunoreactivity was found only in nerve cell bodies of submucous plexuses. In the inner circular muscle layer, dense SP-like immunoreactive fibers were prominent but only a few CGRP-like immunoreactivities were observed. Most of SP- and CGRP-like immunoreactive neurons of both plexuses colocalized with CB. This result showed that SP and CGRP may have a important role for the movement of small intestine. The colocalizations of CB with SP or CGRP in myenteric and submucous plexuses suggest that CB may serve neuromodulatory role for SP- and CGRP-immunoreacted neurons on the movement of intestinal wall.

There have been a number of studies of gonadotropes secreting LH and FSH in the adenohypophysis, but the pattern of hormone storage and secretion of these cells still remains a controversial matter. In this study, we examined whether gonadotropes contained both of LH and FSH, and if so, how these hormones were distributed within the secretory granules. Hypophyseal sections of Korean native goat were simultaneously immunostained for LH and FSH antisera by protein A-gold technique. It was found that most gonadotropes contained both FSH and LH, but hormone storages in the secretory granules were some different among cells. Three types of gonadotropes were identified by the shape and size of the secretory granules and their hormone storage patterns. One type(I) of gonadotropes contained oval secretory granules, which immunoreactivity for FSH and LH were very weak. The size of secretory granules ranged from 160 to 310nm in diameter. Most granules contained both FSH and LH, but some contained only one of them. In another type(II) of gonadotropes, the immunreactivity and hormone storage patterns of the secretory granules were similar to those of type I cells. However, the secretory granules were round in shape and larger in size than those of type I. The other gonadotropes(type III) were distinctly distinguished by plenty of hormones in their secretory granules which were densely packed with numerous immunolabelled gold particles. These data are some inconsistent with other results that have been obtained in other ruminants like as cattle and sheep.

LP9M80-H는 맥문동(Liriope platyphylla)으로부터 메탄올과 헥산을 이용하여 추출한 새로운 추출물로서 ICR 마우스에서 인슐린분비를 촉진하며, 간과 뇌 조직에서 인슐린 신호경로를 활성화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에 서는 LP9M80-H가 당뇨와 비만의 치료에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여, OLETF 모델동물에 LP9M80-H를 2주간 투여한 후 당뇨와 비만과 관련된 주요인자의 변화를 관찰하였다. 비록 체중은 두 집단간에 차이가 없었으나 복부 지방량은 vehicle 투여군보다 LP9M80-H 투여군에서 적었다. 또한, 혈중 포도당농도는 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF랫드가 대조군에 비하여 약간 낮았으나 인슐린의 농도는 유의적으로 크게 증가하였다. 혈청 내 3가지 주요 지질의 농도는 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 지방의 산화를 촉진하는 아디포넥틴의 농도도 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 감소하였다. 더불어, 체내에 분비된 인슐린이 표적장기에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 간조직에서 인슐린 수용체와 인슐린 수용체기질(IRS)의 발현을 관찰하였으며, 이러한 2가지 단백질은 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 vehicle 투여군에 비해 유의미하게 감소하였다. 또한, 인슐린 신호경로의 다운스트림에 위치하는 포도당 수송체 중에서 Glut-2와 Glut-3 발현은 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 유의미하게 감소하는 반면에, Glut-4 발현은 일정하게 유지되었다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 LP9M80-H는 포도당항상성과 지질농도의 조절을 통하여 당뇨와 비만의 증상을 완화시키는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다. It was reported that the novel compounds (LP9M80-H) of Liriope platyphylla regulate glucose transporter (Glut) biosynthesis by activating the insulin-signaling pathway in the liver and brain of ICR mice. To investigate the therapeutic effects of LP9M80-H on the pathology of diabetes and obesity, alterations of key factors related to symptoms were analyzed in the Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats treated with LP9M80-H for 2 weeks. The abdominal fat masses in the LP9M80-H-treated group were lower than the vehicle-treated group, although there was no difference in body weight between the two groups. Additionally, when compared to the vehicle-treated group, LP9M80-H treatment induced a significant decrease in glucose levels and an increase in the insulin concentration in the blood of OLETF rats. A high level of insulin protein was also detected in pancreatic β cells of LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats. A significant reduction in the concentration of lipids and adiponectin was detected only in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats. Furthermore, the expression of insulin receptor β and the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) was dramatically decreased in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats compared to the vehicle-treated group. Of the glucose transporters located downstream of the insulin-signaling pathway, glucose transporters (Glut) -2 and -3 were significantly decreased in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats, while the level of Glut-4 was maintained under all conditions. Therefore, these results suggest that LP9M80-H may contribute to relieving symptoms of diabetes and obesity through glucose homeostasis and regulation of lipid concentration.

We examined estuarine macrobenthos in Namdaecheon estuary, Gangneung, Korea, September 22, 1997. A total of 56 species were found together with an abundance of 378 individuals m^(-2) and a biomass of 20.79 gWWt m^(-2). The major dominant species were unidentified oligochaete followed by different species of polychaetes Hediste japonica, Rhynchospio glutaea, Poecilochaetus trilobatus, Scoloplos armiger, Spiophanes bombyx and a talitrid amphipod Platorchestia crassicornis. The study area was divided into two different groups of stations and species, based on the q-mode and r-mode clustering analysis. In case of q-mode, there are two groups: one is a marine station group and the other is estuarine group. The r-mode clustering analysis showed the two main communities as follows; 1) Marine species group occurred only at station 7, 8 and 9 and 2) Estuarine species group composed of the species present at station 1 to 6 and 10 to 15. In the number of species, the estuarine station group includes 13 species, whereas 43 species were presented in the marine station group. Total macrofaunal abundance and total biomass were higher in the marine station group than those in the estuarine group. The species diversity index was also high in the marine group (>2), whereas it was less than ca. 1 in the estuarine group.
