광범위 유두근 석회화는 흔하지 앉으며, 원인과 임상적 중요성에 관한 문헌만 드물게 찾아볼 수 있다. 반면에 작은 석회 침착은 노인에서 흔하며 심장 첨부에 주로 나타난다. 유두근 석회화는 관상동맥질환, 확장성 심근병증, 승모관 질환, 고칼슘혈증, 그리고 말기신부전에서 인산칼슘의 중가와 연관성이 있다. 저자는 심장초옴파와 MDCT를 통해 진단된 전외측 유두근의 광범위 석회화의 드문 사례가 있어 보고한다.

목 적 : 고포도당으로 자극한 백서 메산지움 배양세포에서 p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK)의 활성화와 p38 MAPK의 상부와 하부인자로 알려져 있는 MAPK kinase 3/6 (MKK3/6)와 c-AMP responsive element binding protein (CREB)의 활성화, 그리고 fibronectin 합성을 자극 시간에 따라 관찰하고, p38 MAPK 경로와 fibronectin 합성 사이의 연관성을 규명함으로서 당뇨병성 신증의 병태생리를 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 백서 메산지움 배양세포를 정상 포도당 (5.6 mM), 고포도당 (30 mM), 또는 정상 포도당+만니톨 (24.4 mM)로 자극한 후 첫째 p38 MAPK; 둘째 p38 MAPK의 상부 인자인 MKK3/6; 셋째 p38 MAPK의 하부인자인 CREB; 넷째 MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1)의 변화를 자극 시간 (3분-48시간)에 따라 Western blot을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 다섯째 fibronectin의 변화는 RT-PCR과 ELISA를 이용하여 확인하였다. 결 과 : 고포도당으로 자극한 백서 사구체 메산지움 배양세포에서 p38 MAPK 경로가 활성화 되었다. Total p38 MAPK 단백은 변화가 없었으나, 활성화된 phospho-p38 MAPK 단백은 고포도당군에서 자극 10분 후부터 정상 포도당군에 비해 의의있게 증가되었으며 (평균 1.9배), phospho-CREB 단백 역시 고포도당군에서 자극 10분 후부터 의미있게 증가되었다 (평균 2.5배). 이에 비해 p38 MAPK의 상부인자인 phospho-MKK3/6는 고포도당군에서 자극 3분 후부터 의의있게 증가되었다 (평균 2.4배). 또한, MKP-1 단백 발현은 고포도당군에서 p38 MAPK의 활성이 증가하기 시작한 시기와 동일한 시기 (자극 10분 후)부터 증가하기 시작하였다 (평균 1.9배). Fibronectin mRNA와 세포 배양액내 fibronectin은 고포도당군에서 자극 48시간 후에 각각 1.7배와 1.5배 증가되었으며, 이러한 증가는 p38 MAPK 억제제인 SB203580 (1 μM)에 의해 각각 73%와 69% 억제되었다. 결 론 : 고포도당으로 자극한 백서 사구체 메산지움 배양세포에서 p38 MAPK 경로의 활성화를 확인하였으며, p38 MAPK 억제제가 고포도당에 의한 fibronectin의 합성 증가를 억제시키는 것으로 보아 당뇨병성 신증에서 관찰되어지는 fibronectin의 축적에 p38 MAPK 경로가 관여할 것으로 생각된다. Background : The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is activated by several stress factors, potentially leading to cellular apoptosis and growth. Little is known about the pattern of p38 MAPK pathway activation in mesangial cells under high glucose conditions. We examined the activity and expression of p38 MAPK members, 1x78 MAPK, MAPK kinase 3/6 (MKK3/6), c-AMP responsive element binding protein (CREE), and MAPK phosphatase-l (MKP-1) in cultured rnesangial cells exposed to high glucose. Methods : Mesangial cells were subcultured from rat glomeruli isolated by sieving technique. After serum restriction for 48 hours rnesangial cells were exposed to 5.6 mM glucose (low glucose, LG), 5.6 mM glucose+24.4 mM mannitol (LG+M), or 30 mM glucose (high glucose, HG) for 3 minutes to 48 hours with or without SU203580. Western blot was performed to determine the activity and protein expression of p38 MAPK members. R`I-I`CR and ELISA were performed for fibronectin mRNA expression and fibronectin synthesis, respectively. Results : p38 MAPK and CREB activities were significantly increased in rnesangial cells exposed to FIG compared with LG or LG+M after 10 minutes and was sustained at higher levels to 48 hours (p<0.05), but total p38 MAPK and CREB protein expressions did not differ. MKP--1 showed a similar pattern as p 3 MAPK and CREE (p<O.O.i). MKK3/6 acitvity was significantly higher in HG cells after 3 minutes and remained at higher levels throught the study period (p<0.05). Fibronectin mRNA expression and fibronectin synthesis were significantly increased in mesangial cells exposed to HG after 48 hours (p<0.05). SB203580 (1 pM) pretreatment for 1 hour significantly reduced HG-induced fibronectin mRNA expression and fibronectin synthesis by 73% and 69%, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion : p38 MAPK activity was increased in mesangial cells exposed to HG in parallel with increased MKK3/6 activity, resulting in CREB activation and increased fibronectin synthesis. This activated p38 MAPK may play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Bioabsorbable plates and screws for bone fixation system have been used owing to many advantages over conventional metallic devices. This study investigated the effects and safety of recently developed modifiable bioabsorbable plate and screw made of 100% poly (L-lactic acid) in the healing process of mandible fracture in arabbit model. In vitro extract test for cytotoxicity and bacterial reverse mutation test for genotoxicity were carried out. Any cytotoxicity caused by extract from experiment sample was not observed. In genotoxicity test, increase in the number of revertants was not observed. As an in vivo test, plates and screws were used for rigid fixation of exper-imental mandible fracture in twenty rabbits. Tissue specimens with plate were taken from the rabbits after 4, 6, 8,10 weeks and histological analysis was studied. After 4 weeks, the plate was covered by connective tissue and severe chronic active inflammation in soft tissue was observed. After 6 weeks, absorbed part in plate and new bone forma-tion around periostium and decrease in inflammation were detected. After 10 weeks, new bone formation was observed in all samples and the thickness of bone increased. The remodeling was not complete yet. This study dem-onstrates that recently developed biodegradable plate and screw system made of poly(L-lactic acid) was effective in mandible fracture regions known as high load-bearing areas. This indicates that bioabsorbable poly (L-lactic acid) plates and screws are available for most of bone fractures, although the adjustment process and long-term follow-up study are necessary for clinical application.

Su-Jin Heo(허수진),Hee-Young Ahn(안희영),Min-Jeong Kang(강민정),Jae-Hong Lee(이재홍),Jae-Young Cha(차재영),Young-Su Cho(조영수) 한국생명과학회 2011 생명과학회지 Vol.21 No.7

가시오가피 잎, 뿌리, 줄기 및 열매의 수용성, 에탄올 및 메탄올 추출물의 생리활성 물질 분석과 항산화 활성 (DPPH free radical scavenging 활성, Cu/Fe-환원력, 간 조직 microsome 생체막 및 linoleic acid 과산화지질, Tyrosinase 저해활성)을 측정 하였다. 가시오가피 잎의 열수 추출물에서 추출 수율 16.04%, 폴리페놀 화합물 함량 2.67% 및 플라보노이드 함량 1.43%로 가장 높았다. 가시오가피 잎, 뿌리, 줄기 및 열매의 주요 미네랄은 K, Ca 및 Mg 이었다. DPPH free radical scavenging 활성, Cu/Fe-환원력, 간 조직 microsome 생체막 및 linoleic acid의 과산화 지질 측정에 의한 항산화 활성은 가시오가피 잎, 뿌리, 줄기 및 열매 모두에서 나타났으며, 시료 처리 농도 의존적으로 활성이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 실험 결과에서 가시오가피 잎, 뿌리, 줄기 및 열매 모두에서 높은 항산화 활성이 있었으며, 이는 폴리페놀 화합물과 플라보노이드와 같은 생리활성 성분을 많이 함유하고 있는 것과 깊은 관련성이 있는 것으로 향후 건강기능식품이나 기능성화장품의 천연 항산화제 소재 개발 관련 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되어 진다. The contents of bioactive and antioxidative activities (DPPH (α,α’-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl), free radical scavenging activity, peroxidation of linoleic acid and rat hepatocyte microsome, and Fe/Cu reducing power, tyrosinase inhibition activity) were tested by in vitro experimental models using water, hot water, ethanol and methanol extracts of leaves (ASL), roots (ASR), stems (ASS) and fruits (ASF) from Acanthopanax senticosus. Hot water extract from ASL showed the highest extraction yield (16.04%) as well as highest contents of phenolic compounds (2.67%) and flavonoids (1.43%). Major minerals were K, Ca and Mg. In oxidation in vitro models using DPPH free radical scavenging activity, Fe/Cu reducing power, Fe²?/ascorbate-induced linoleic acid peroxidation by ferric thiocyanate and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods, tyrosinase inhibition activity and autooxidation of rat hepatic microsomes membrane, and antioxidative activities were strong in Acanthopanax senticosus. From these results, ASL extracts were shown to have the most potent antioxidative properties and contain the highest amounts of antioxidative compounds such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids. These results may provide the basic data to understand the biological activities of bio-active materials derived from leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus.

( Su Jin Lee ),( Youngdeuk Lee ),( Gun Hoo Park ),( Navaneethaiyer Umasuthan ),( Soo Jin Heo ),( Mahanama De Zoysa ),( Won Kyo Jung ),( Dae Won Lee ),( Hanjun Kim ),( Do Hyung Kang ),( Chulhong Oh ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2016 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.26 No.6

L-Asparaginase (E.C. 3.5.1.1) is an enzyme involved in asparagine hydrolysis and has the potential to effect leukemic cells and various other cancer cells. We identified the Lasparaginase gene (L-ASPG86) in the genus Mesoflavibacter, which consists of a 1,035 bp open reading frame encoding 344 amino acids. Following phylogenetic analysis, the deduced amino acid sequence of L-ASPG86 (L-ASPG86) was grouped as a type I asparaginase with respective homologs in Escherichia coli and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The L-ASPG86 gene was cloned into the pET-16b vector to express the respective protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells. Recombinant L-asparaginase (r-L-ASPG86) showed optimum conditions at 37-40oC, pH 9. Moreover, r-L-ASPG86 did not exhibit glutaminase activity. In the metal ions test, its enzymatic activity was highly improved upon addition of 5 mM manganese (3.97-fold) and magnesium (3.35-fold) compared with the untreated control. The specific activity of r-LASPG86 was 687.1 units/mg under optimum conditions (37°C, pH 9, and 5 mM MnSO4).
