본 연구에서는 만성질환의 주요 위험인자인 비만을 예방하기 위한 식품소재로서 3T3-L1세포를 이용하여 탈피한 도토리의 항비만 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 생존율(MTT assay)을 측정한 결과, AE와 AW 시료 모두 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 다소 생존율의 감소를 보여, $300{\mu}g/mL$를 최종 농도로 정하였다. 3T3-L1 세포의 지질축적 억제 효과를 측정한 결과, 농도 $100{\mu}g/mL$로 처리하였을 때 두 시료 모두 지질축적량의 증가를 보였으나, $200{\mu}g/mL$ 처리농도에서 AE 시료는 82%로, AW 시료는 74%로 감소되다가 $300 {\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 두 시료 모두 약 53% 수준까지 지질축적이 억제되었다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 중성지방 억제 효과를 확인한 결과, AE 시료의 경우 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 11%의 감소율, $300{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 42% 수준의 감소율을 보였다. AW 시료도 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 5%의 감소율과 $300{\mu}g/mL$에서 41%의 감소율을 보였다. 3T3-L1 세포의 ROS 생성량을 측정한 결과, 시료 농도 $200{\mu}g/mL$에서 AE는 42%, AW는 33%로 $300{\mu}g/mL$에서는 AE는 58%, AW는 52%로 ROS 생성량의 억제를 보였다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 mRNA 발현에 미치는 영향을 대조군과 비교하였을 때 두 시료(AE와 AW) 모두 $300{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 $PPAR-{\gamma}$은 54%와 38%, aP2는 40%와 18% 수준의 발현을 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 탈피한 도토리는 3T3-L1 세포의 분화를 억제함으로써 새로운 항비만 소재로의 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. This study aimed to investigate the suppressive effect of acorn extracts, by evaluating 70% ethanol extract (AE) and hot water extract (AW) using 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. We applied various levels (0, 100, 200, 300 and $500 {\mu}g/mL$) of AE and AW to 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The cell viability of the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was not affected by up $300 {\mu}g/mL$ of extracts, but was suppressed by level $500{\mu}g/mL$ of both AE and AW by 20% and 9% respectively. The accumulation of lipid droplets in differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was dose-dependently suppressed by AE and AW. Especially, at high concentrations ($300{\mu}g/mL$), AE (42%) was more effective than AW (41%). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also dose-dependently suppressed by treatment with AE (58%) and AW (52%). With regard to the mRNA related to differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, $PPAR-{\gamma}$ and aP2 were suppressed by treatment with AE (54 and 40%) and AW (38 and 18%). From our results, acorn extract (AE) has more suppressive effects than AW in differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. We therefore concluded that acorn has suppressive effects against obesity in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells due to antioxidation.

고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 ICR 생쥐를 동물 모델로 하여 7종의 Aspergillus속 미생물로 발효시킨 발효비지 의 항비만 효과를 조사하였다. 수컷 ICR 생쥐에 5주간 고지방 식이를 실시하여 비만을 유도하고 고지방식이에 발효 비지 2%를 첨가하여 6주 동안 사육하였으며, 체중, 섭취량, 혈청 총콜레스테롤, 중성지질, Alanine transaminase과 high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 간성 glutathione과 lipid peroxide를 측정하였다. 체중의 경우에 AE4 발효 비지를 식이한 군에서 가장 많이 감소 (31.33%, P<0.05)하였고 간성 GSH와 ALT증가로 고지방혈증이 저해되었다. 이상의 결 과로부터 Aspergillus속 미생물로 발효시킨 발효비지는 항비만 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 나아가 인체에서도 유 의한 비만개선 작용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. The anti-obesity effect of soybean curd residues (biji) fermented by seven Aspergillus spp. was investigated with obese ICR mice fed a high-fat diet. After inducing obesity by feeding high-fat diet for 5 weeks, animals were fed with a high fat diet supplemented with 2% fermented soybean curd residues for 6 weeks. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, Alanine transaminase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hepatic content of glutathione and lipid peroxide were determined. In the case of body weight, AE4 group showed most prominent decrease (31.33%, P<0.05) and increase of hepatic GSH and ALT demonstrated hyperlipidemia inhibition. From the results, it is concluded that soybean curd residues fermented by Aspergillus spp. has anti-obesity effect and it is thought that fermented soybean curd resides can reduce obesity in human significantly.

Lee, Won Ho,Yoo, Mi Ae,Park, Tae Dong,Choo, Jong Kil 한국유전학회 1987 Genes & Genomics Vol.9 No.4

The heterocyclic amines, IQ and Trp-p-2 are the cooked-food-related carcinogens. To know genotoxic effects of IQ and Trp-p-2 in Drosophila, sensitivity to killing, somatic gene mutations and somatic chromosome mutations were measured in repair-deficient strain and repair-proficient strain after larval treatment. Gene mutations were detected with eye-color spot test system and chromosome mutations with wing spot test system. The relative potency of these two compounds in Drosophila will be discussed with the different response of mammalian system and Salmonella system.

Male-Specific W4P/R Mutation in the Pre-S1 Region of Hepatitis B Virus, Increasing the Risk of Progression of Liver Diseases in Chronic Patients

Lee, Seoung-Ae,Kim, Ki-Jeong,Kim, Dong-Won,Kim, Bum-Joon American Society for Microbiology 2013 Journal of clinical microbiology Vol.51 No.12

<P>The issue of hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutations possibly leading to a gender disparity in the progression of liver diseases has not been explored. We aimed to elucidate the relationships of the novel <I>pre-S1</I> mutations, W4P/R, with the progression of liver diseases and male predominance in a South Korean chronic cohort by use of a molecular epidemiologic study. We developed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the detection of the W4P/R mutations and applied it to 292 chronic HBV patients. The <I>pre-S1</I> mutations from 247 (84.6%) of a total of 292 patients were detected by this assay. W4P/R mutants were found to be significantly related to severe liver diseases (hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] and liver cirrhosis, 12.4% [19/153] of patients, versus chronic hepatitis and asymptomatic carriage, 1.1% [1/94] of patients) (<I>P</I> < 0.001). All of the W4P/R mutants were found in males only. The novel HBV <I>pre-S1</I> mutations, W4P/R, may be associated with disease severity in male patients chronically infected with HBV genotype C. The W4P/R mutations may provide in part an explanation for the relatively high ratio of male to female incidence in HCC generation in South Korean chronic HBV patients.</P>

Lee, Yoon‐,Sung,Lee, Jae Ha,Choi, Ji‐,Ae,Yoon, Woo Young,Kim, Dong‐,Won WILEY‐VCH Verlag 2013 Advanced functional materials Vol.23 No.8

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Novel composite gel polymer electrolytes exhibiting high ionic conductivity and good mechanical stability are prepared, and their electrochemical properties are characterized. As lithium ion sources of a single ion conductor, the core‐shell structured SiO<SUB>2</SUB>(Li<SUP>+</SUP>) nanoparticles with uniform spherical shape are synthesized and used as functional fillers in the composite gel polymer electrolytes. By using the composite gel polymer electrolytes, the lithium powder polymer batteries composed of a lithium powder anode and a layered lithium vanadate (LiV<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>8</SUB>) cathode are assembled and their cycling performance is evaluated. The resulting lithium powder polymer batteries deliver a high discharge capacity of 264 mAh g<SUP>−1</SUP> at room temperature and exhibit good capacity retention even at high current rates. The morphological analysis of the lithium powder anode reveals that the dendrite growth during cycling can be effectively suppressed by using the composite gel polymer electrolytes.</P>

<P>Vascular endothelial cells play an important role in leukocyte trafficking during the inflammatory process. Proinflammatory cytokines activate the expression of cell adhesion molecules in endothelial cells. Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) are important intracellular cytokine signaling molecules that are involved in immune responses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of JAK3 inhibition on the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced cell adhesion molecules in vascular endothelial cells and to evaluate the therapeutic potential of JAK3 for myocardial vascular permeability in endotoxemic mice. A JAK3 inhibitor, JANEX-1, decreased the TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule)-1 and fractalkine in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The downregulation of the expression of these cell adhesion molecules by JANEX-1 was mediated via suppression of STAT3 phosphorylation and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. In endotoxemic mice, pretreatment with JANEX-1 prevented not only an increase in the cardiac ICAM-1 expression by LPS in the arteriolar and capillary endothelial cells, but also myocardial vascular leakage. These results suggest that inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway by JANEX-1 ameliorates the expression of TNF-α-induced cell adhesion molecules in HUVECs and improves myocardial vascular permeability.</P>

Lee, Ji-Eun,Park, Young-Je,Yang, Dae-Sik,Yoon, Won-Sup,Lee, Jung-Ae,Rim, Chai-Hong,Kim, Chul-Yong The Korean Society for Radiation Oncology 2012 Radiation Oncology Journal Vol.30 No.2

Purpose: To evaluate the treatment outcome and prognostic factor of postoperative radiotherapy for extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Materials and Methods: Forty three patients with extremity STS were treated with conservative surgery and postoperative radiotherapy from January 1981 to December 2010 at Korea University Medical Center. Median total 60 Gy (range, 50 to 74.4 Gy) of radiation was delivered and 7 patients were treated with chemotherapy. Results: The median follow-up period was 70 months (range, 5 to 302 months). Twelve patients (27.9%) sustained relapse of their disease. Local recurrence occurred in 3 patients (7.0%) and distant metastases developed in 10 patients (23.3%). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 69.2% and disease free survival was 67.9%. The 5-year local relapse-free survival was 90.7% and distant relapse-free survival was 73.3%. On univariate analysis, no significant prognostic factors were associated with development of local recurrence. Histologic grade (p = 0.005) and stage (p = 0.02) influenced the development of distant metastases. Histologic grade was unique significant prognostic factor for the OS on univariate and multivariate analysis. Severe acute treatment-related complications, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or 4, developed in 6 patients (14.0%) and severe late complications in 2 patients (4.7%). Conclusion: Conservative surgery with postoperative radiotherapy achieved a satisfactory rate of local control with acceptable complication rate in extremity STS. Most failures were distant metastases that correlate with tumor grade and stage. The majority of local recurrences developed within the field. Selective dose escalation of radiotherapy or development of effective systemic treatment might be considered.

<P>Abstract</P><P><B><I>Background and Purpose:</I></B> Microbial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases. Caffeoyl derivatives have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, the effect of 3,4,5-tricaffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-triCQA) on the production of microbial product-induced inflammatory mediators in keratinocytes has not yet been studied. <B><I>Experimental Approach:</I></B> Using human keratinocytes, we investigated the effect of 3,4,5-triCQA on the LPS-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators in relation to the nuclear factor (NF)-κB, Akt and ERK pathways. <B><I>Results:</I></B> 3,4,5-triCQA inhibited the LPS-induced expression of Toll-like receptor 4, and the production of cytokines and chemokines in keratinocytes. 3,4,5-triCQA, Bay 11-7085, Aκt inhibitor and ERK inhibitor each attenuated the LPS-induced production of inflammatory mediators by inhibiting the NF-κB, Akt and ERK pathways.<B><I> Conclusions and Implications:</I></B> 3,4,5-triCQA may attenuate the LPS-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators in keratinocytes by suppressing the Toll-like receptor 4 expression-mediated activation of the Akt, ERK and NF-κB pathways. 3,4,5-triCQA may exert a preventive effect against microbial product-induced inflammatory skin diseases.</P><P>Copyright © 2012 S.
