Oh, You-Chang,Jeong, Yun Hee,Cho, Won-Kyung,Ha, Jeong-Ho,Gu, Min Jung,Ma, Jin Yeul MDPI 2015 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES Vol.16 No.1

<P>Pyeongwisan (PW) is an herbal medication used in traditional East Asian medicine to treat anorexia, abdominal distension, borborygmus and diarrhea caused by gastric catarrh, atony and dilatation. However, its effects on inflammation-related diseases are unknown. In this study, we investigated the biological effects of PW on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated inflammation in macrophages and on local inflammation <I>in vivo</I>. We investigated the biological effects of PW on the production of inflammatory mediators, pro-inflammatory cytokines and related products as well as the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Additionally, we evaluated the analgesic effect on the acetic acid-induced writhing response and the inhibitory activity on xylene-induced ear edema in mice. PW showed anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). In addition, PW strongly suppressed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a NO synthesis enzyme, induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and inhibited NF-κB activation and MAPK phosphorylation. Also, PW suppressed TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β cytokine production in LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophage cells. Furthermore, PW showed an analgesic effect on the writhing response and an inhibitory effect on mice ear edema. We demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects and inhibitory mechanism in macrophages as well as inhibitory activity of PW <I>in vivo</I> for the first time. Our results suggest the potential value of PW as an inflammatory therapeutic agent developed from a natural substance.</P>

Jeong, Gil-Saeng,Oh, Seung-Hwan,Kang, Dae-Gill,Lee, Ho-Sub,Kim, Youn-Chul The Physiological Society of Korean Medicine and T 2006 동의생리병리학회지 Vol.20 No.5

Effects of twenty-three aqueous herbal extracts used in oriental medicines on heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression were estimated in a mouse hippocampal cell line, HT22. HO-1 is one of the cytoprotective enzymes activated various stimuli, and Western blot analysis was used for evaluated HO-1 expression. Six aqueous extracts such as Rhei Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix, Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus, Theae Folium, Prunellae Spica, and Coptidis Rhizoma significantly increased HO-1 expression in HT22 cells at the concentration of 300 ${\mu}$g/ml. In Addition, four aqueous extracts including Eucommiae Cortex, Moutan Cortex Radicis, Ginseng Radix Rubra, and Scutellariae Radix moderately increased HO-1 expression. These results would be usefulfor the isolation and identification of their neuroprotective principles.

H₂-공기와 CO-공기 예혼합 화염 사이의 후류상호작용에 있어서 H₂O 첨가 효과

박정(Jeong Park),권오붕(Oh Boong Kwon),김태형(Tae Hyung Kim),박종호(Jong Ho Park) 한국연소학회 2015 한국연소학회지 Vol.20 No.1

Numerical study was conducted to clarify effects of added H₂O for the downstream interaction between H₂-air and CO-air premixed flames in counterflow configuration. The reaction mechanism adopted was Davis model which had been known to be well in agreement with reliable experimental data. The results showed that both lean and rich flammable limits were reduced in increase of strain rate. The most discernible difference between the two with and without having H₂O and/or H₂ addition into H₂-air and CO-air premixtures was two flammable islands for the former and one island for the latter at high strain flame conditions. Even a small amount of H₂, in which H₂-air premixed flame cannot be sustained by itself, participates in CO oxidation, thereby altering the CO-oxidation reaction path from the main reaction route CO + O₂ → CO₂ + O with a very long chemical time in CO-air flame to the OH-related reaction routes including CO + OH → CO₂ + H with very short chemical times. This intrinsic nature alters flame stability maps appreciably. The results also showed that chemical effects of added H₂O help lean flames at relatively low strain rate be sustained, and suppress the flame stabilization at high strain rates.

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.

Influence of Phase Composition in TiAlSiN Hard Coatings on the Evolution of Structure and Mechanical Properties

Jeong‑Han Lee,Ik‑Hyun Oh,Jun‑Ho Jang,Ju‑Hun Kim,Sung‑Kil Hong,Hyun‑Kuk Park 대한금속·재료학회 2021 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.27 No.3

The aim of this study is to investigate the structural evolution and mechanical properties of TiAlSiN coatings when processedby the arc ion plating method. To form a hard coating, Ti, Al, and Si powders were mechanically alloyed by planetary ballmilling; the powders were then densely compacted during a rapid sintering process into a ternary system coating, i.e. TiAlSi. The evolution of the structural phase from a powder to a compact material is dominated considerably by phase states suchas a supersaturated solid solution or intermetallic compounds. In the case of coating layers, the factors that determine thestructural evolution are associated with the phase stability of the nano-crystalline structure that in turn is associated withthe Ti/Al composition ratio. Motivated by this, we performed experiments to investigate the distribution of microstructures;the material’s binding energy, quantitative properties, transformation of crystal structure, and distribution of amorphous/crystalline were all recorded. In particular, the relationship between the physical and chemical properties during the coatingprocess is considered to be the dominant factor controlling the orientation and morphology of that zone (1, T, and 2). TheTiAlSiN coating layer was found to have hardness above 45 GPa and an adhesion above 100 N. In other words, understandingthe evolution and structure of TiAlSin helped us to produce a material with excellent properties that can be used as a hardcoating. Specifically, these properties were induced by a grain refinement of the nano-crystalline structure that correspondsto an increase in the silicon nitride contents.

오원영,고정식,양남길,안의태,박경호 순천향의학연구소 1995 Journal of Soonchunhyang Medical Science Vol.1 No.2

이 실험은 연령에 따른 흰쥐 망막 속얼기층의 미세구조적 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 시행하였다. 실험동물로는 생후 3개월(어린 흰쥐), 12개월(젊은 흰쥐) 및 30개월(늙은 흰쥐)된 Fisher계통 344흰쥐를 사용하였다. 각 동물은 4% chloral hydrate로 마취한 후 2.5% glutaradehyde-1.5% paraformaldehyde로 관류 고정한 다음, 안구를 적출하여 톱니둘레를 다라 절단한 후 시신경원반외측의 일정부위에서 망막조직을 떼어내었다. 떼어낸 조직은 2.5% glutaradehyde- 1.5% paraformaldehyde 고정액에 다시 고정한 후, 1% osmium tetroxide액에 또 다시 고정하였다. 고정된 조직은 ethyl alcohol과 acetone으로 탈수한 후 araldite혼합액에 포매하였다. 포매된 조직은 LKB-V ultratome으로 얇은 절편을 작성하여 uranyl acetate와 lead citrate로 염색한 후 JEM 100CX-Ⅱ 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 무축삭신경원의 세포질돌기는 세포질의 전자밀도, 연접소포의 종류 및 양에 따라 4종류 구분되었다. 2. 속얼기층에서 관찰되는 신경연접의 형태는 연접리본복합체외에 4종류의 일반신경연접을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 연령증가에 따른 연접형태의 미세구조적 변화는 관찰할 수 없었다. 3. 연령이 증가함에 따라 부챗살아교세포의 상대적 영역이 넓어졌다. 4. 연령이 증가함에 따라 무착삭신경원과 신경절세포의 가지돌기안에 수초구조, 용해소체, 잔여소체가 자주 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 흰쥐의 망막속얼기층은 연령이 증가하면 무축삭신경원과 신경절세포는 기능이 점점 약해지므로 부챗살아교세포의 영역이 상대적으로 더 넓어진다고 생각된다. Morphological differences among the inner plexiform layers at different age groups have been studied in young(three months old), adult(twelve months old) and old(thirty months old) Fisher stain 344 rats. Under anethesia, 2.5% glutaraldehyde- 1.5% paraformaldehyde solution was perfused through the heart. Pieces of the tissue taken from the posterior region of the retina were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde- 1.5% paraformaldehyde, and in 1% osmium tetroxide followed by fixation embedded in aralditse mixture. Ultrathin seciton were statined with uranyl acetate and lead citrate solution and were observed with JEM 100CX-II electron microscope. The results were as follows: 1. Four types of amacrine cells were found according to their electron densities, and kind and amount of the synaptic vesicles, were found, i.e., dark amacrine cell with clear vesicles(Al cell), light amacrine cell with clear vesicles(A2 cell), dark amacrine cell with clear and granular vesicles(A3 cell) and light amacrine cell with clear and granular vesicles(A4 cell) 2. In the inner plexiform layer, there appear two types of synapses : 1) synaptic ribbon complex and 2) conventional synapses. Conventional ones exhibited four different types, showing, i.e., prominent presynaptic density(type 1), prominent postsnaptic density(type 2), prominent pre-and postsynaptic densities(type 3), and lesser prominent pre-and postsynaptic densites. 3. Territories of the Muller cells were expanded during aging. 4. Myelin figures, lysosomes, lipofuscin granules and lipid droplets were frequently observed in the amacrine and ganglion cells of the adult and old rats. From the above results, it was suggested that functions of the bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells were diminished gradually, whereas territories of the Muller cells were expanded during aging.

세 도시의 생활 쓰레기 발생량의 장래 추이 예측

This study centers on a long-term prediction for the generation of municipal solid wastes for 3 cities such as Pusan, Taejon and Cheongju. For the long-term prediction several statistical models based on time or population were proposed and utilized. The MSW discharge per day from 3 cities predicted is in the range of 12,100~14,600 ton for Pusan, and 3,100~3,800 ton for Taejon, and 2,200~2,600 ton for Cheongju in the year of 2008, respectively. However, the volume-based charge system since January 1995 has made a great effect on the generation of MSWs. Unfortunately, there has been few data to consider this effect for the prediction. Therefore, there has been an urgent need to collect new baseline data for the more realistic long-term prediction.

전보에 이어 어육을 원료로 하여 보다 품질이 우수한 고온가열처리 식품을 개발하기 위한 기초 자료를 얻을 목적으로, 시료 어육을 121.1℃에서 Fo값을 5, 10, 20으로 달리하여 가열처리 했을 때 지질성분의 변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 비교, 검토하였다. 시료 가다랑어육 및 명태육의 TBA값과 과산화물값은 가열처리에 따라 현저히 감소하였고, 감소폭은 가다랑어육 쪽이 컸다. 카르보닐값은 가열처리 중 가다랑어육은 감소하는 반면, 명태육은 증가하였다. 색조는 양 시료 모두 가열처리 정도가 커질수록 육색이 진해졌으며, 특히 가다랑어육에서 갈변진행이 현저하였다. 지질성분은 가다랑어육에는 NL의 함량이 많았고, 명태는 PL의 함량이 많았다. 98℃의 열처리에서는 양 시료 모두 NL과 PL의 조성비에 변화가 거의 없었으나, 121.1℃ 열처리에서는 Fo값 증가할수록 NL의 조성비는 높아지고 PL의 조성비는 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. TL, NL 및 PL의 지방 산조성은 98℃ 열처리에서는 양 시료 모두 조성비의 변화가 거의 없었으나, 121.1℃ 열처리에서는 Fo값이 증가할수록 폴리엔산의 조성비가 점차 감소했으며,특히 22:6의 감소폭이 컸다. 반면,포화산 및 모노엔산의 조성비는 증가하였다. 지방산 조성의 변화폭은 명태육 쪽이 가다랑어육에 비해 다소 컸다. Fo 20의 열처리에서 TL의 고도불포화지방산의 잔존율은 생시료에 비해 가다랑어육이 73%, 명태육이 65%였다. In present paper, we investigated the changes in lipid components of skipjack and Alaska pollack meat by thermal processing at high temperature. TBA values and peroxide values of both fish meats decreased markedly by heat treatment: decreasing range of TBA and peroxide values in skipjack meat was larger than those of Alaska pollack meat. Also carbonyl value of skipjack meat was decreased by thermal processing, contrary, that of Alaska pollack meat was increased. Total lipid(TL) of skipjack and Alaska pollack meat consisted of 61.9% , 49.6% non-polar lipid(NL), 38.1% , 50.4% polar lipid(PL), respectively. When the samples were heated at the Fo values of 5 or higher, contents of NL were increased, while that of PL were decreased. In fatty acid composition of NL and PL in both fishes, NL revealed higher contents in saturates and monoenes such as 16:0, 18:1, while PL showed higher contents in polyenes such as 20:5, 22:6; percentages of polyenes such as 22:6 especial1y in both fishes decreased with increasing of Fo values. The remaining ratio of PUFA(20:5+22:6/16:0) of Fo 20 samples in skipjack and Alaska pollack meat were 73% and 65% , respectively. However, when the samples were heated at 98℃ for 30 minutes, no appreciable changes occured in fatty acid composition of TL, NL and PL in both fish meats examined.

가다랑어 혈합육을 보다 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 일련의 기초연구로서, 가다랑어 혈합육의 지질성분, 함질소엑스분 및 구성아미노산 등을 보통 육과 함께 분석하여 비교, 검토하였다. 보통육은 혈합육에 비해 수분, 조단백질 함량은 약간 많은 반면, 조지방과 회분 함량은 혈합육이 약간 많았다. 휘발성염기질소량은 보토육이 22.7mg/100g, 혈합육이 46.9mg/100ㅎ으로 혈합육이 보통육에 비해 선도저하가 훨씬 빨랐다. 보통육과 혈합육의 총지질 조성은 각각 중성지질 79.7%, 71.9%, 당지질, 6.8%, 9.5%, 인지질13.5%, 18.6%로 이루어져 있었다. 중성지질의 성분은 free fatty acid ac triglyceride, 인지질은 phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl, 인지질은 phosphatidyl choline이 주성분이었고, lysogud 인지질의축적도 확인되었다. 총지지르 중성, 당 및 인지질의 축적도 확인되었다. 종지질, 중성, 당 및 인지질의 지반산 조성에서 보통육은 16:0 및 18:1을 주체로 한 포화산 및 모노엔산의 조성비가 혈합육보다 높았으며, 혈합육은 폴리엔산, 특히 22:6의 비율이 월등히 높았다. 16:0. 18:0, 18:1, 20:5 및 22:6 등이 주요 구성지방산이었다. 유리아미노산의 조성은 총함량에서 보통육 쪽이 많았고, 보통육에는 histidine, 혈합육에는 tauring의 보통육에서는 680.9mg.100g 정도 전존해 있었으나, 혈합육에서는 IMP의 분해가 급속히 진행되어 73.1mg/100g에 지나지 않았다. TMAO 및 TMA는 보통육에 비해 혈합육에 휠씬 많이 함유되어 있었고, total creatinine은 보통육 쪽이 많았다. 구성아미노산의 조성은 양시료 간에 별차이가 없었고, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, alanine, isoleucine 및 arginine 등이 주요 구성아니노산이었다. The lipid components, nitrogenous extracts and amino acids of dark muscle(DM) of skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) were analyzed and compared with those of white muscle(WM). WM was higher in moisture and crude protein content, and lower in crude lipid and ash content than those of DM. Contents of volatile basic nitrogen in WM and DM were 22.7mg/100g and 46.9mg/100g. Total lipid(TL) of WM and DM consisted of 79.7%, 71.9% neutral lipid(NL), 6.8%, 9.5% glycolipid(GL), and 13.5%, 18.6% phospholipid(PL), respectively. NL was mainly composed of free fatty acid, triglyceride, and PL was mainly occupied by phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl choline. Also lysophosphatidyl choline and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine were identified in PL. In fatty acid composition of TL, NL, GL and PL, WM revealed higher contents in saturates and monoenes such as 16 : 0, 18 : 1, while DM showed higher contents in polyenes such as 22 : 6 especially. The major fatty acids of these samples were generally 16 : 0, 18 : 0, 18 : 1, 20 : 5 and 22 : 6. Contents of total free amino acids from WM and DM were 5,982.3mg/100g and 4,450.7mg/100g (dry base). Of free amino acids, Tau concentration was much higher in DM than in WM, Ala, Gly, Met, Arg, Thr were also high in DM. But His was much higher in concentration in WM. Content of inosinic acid(IMP) in WM(680.9mg/100g) was higher than that of DM(73.1mg/100g). The degradations of IMP proceeded very rapidly in DM. DM contained much higher trimethylamine oxide and trimethylamine than those of WM. The profile of combined amino acids in these samples were very similar, and main amino acids were Glu, Asp, Lys, Ala, Ile and Arg.
