N/A Embryo implantation and development are critically dependent upon the regulation of angiogenesis and adequate immunologic acceptance. These local angiogenesis and vascular permeability are regulated by the interaction between fetal trophoblast, uterine decidua, and endothelial cells through the key mediator, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Problem : The mechanism through which VEGF regulation occurs at the feto-maternal interface is poorly understood. The Th1 type cytokines are known to be harmful to the successful maintenance of early pregnancy at the feto-maternal interface. Objective : To clarify whether the Th1 type cytokines could be involved in the regulation of VEGF secretion at the feto-maternal interface. Method of Study : we investigated the effects of Th1 type cytokines on VEGF secretion in human first trimester trophoblast cell-line by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results : The trophoblast cells expressed VEGF constitutively and the main isoforms were VEGF121 and VEGF165. When cultured in the presence of IFN-γ or IL-2, VEGF secretion was most significantly increased by IFN-γ treatment but not affected by IL-2 treatment. The level of intracellular VEGF was also increased by IFN-γ treatment. Conclusion : These results suggest that IFN-γ, despite of harmful Th1 type cytokine to the maintenance of early pregnancy, may regulate the production of VEGF in early gestational trophoblasts.

Background: Interferon has been widely used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, but its effectiveness is debatable. The clinical indices as the loss of HBeAg, HBV DNA, and improvement of liver function are applicated to identify the effectiveness of interferon therapy, but the mechanism of hepatohistological change is not well known. We investigated the changes of histologic finding and plasma tumor necrosis factor(TNF) in the patients with chronic hepatitis B after treatment with interferon-alpha. Methods: 11 patients with chronic hepatitis B who had treated by interferon-alpha were enrolled for this study. Liver biopsy was done before and after treatment of interferon and plasma TNF was evaluated at the same time. A semiquantitative study using a histologic scoring system was applied on pre and post liver biopsy specimens and the changes of HBeAg and HBV DNA were also evaluated. Results: Among subjects, the response group, recurrence group, and non-response group based on serologic response with clearance of HbeAg were6, 3, and 2 patients, respectively. The changes of serum ALT level and HBV DNA titer on pre and post therapy decreased significantly in the response group. The change of mean plasma TNF level in the response group decreased insignificantly to 19.4 from 19.9. The histological improvements of grading and staging were shown 4 patients in the response group. Conclusions: Serologic response with clearance of HBeAg was associated with histolofical improvement. The loss of HBsAg in the serum was significant indicator of reduction in the amount of HBV core antigen and HBV surface antigen in the hepatocytes. Plasma TNF level was not associated with response of interferon-alpha therapy and histologic activity.

According to the investigation made by analyzing cause of the detail about sports injury. We make this things an object of all the male representative players 254 out of 286 (88.81%) that took part in the whole event from April 15, 1988 to September 16, 1988 in Seoul Olympic Games. The results are as follows. 1. The representative players in Korea started in the athlete life at age 13.1 on the average. Gymnast early started at age 8.4 and yachtist was later at age 18 in the athlete life. 2. There are about 5.7 cases on the outbreak of the sports trauma per person of player a year. This came into existence near the ankle at the high rate of damage formed 11.90%. 3. A sort of sports injury in analysis muscular bruise broke out at the highest rate of occurrence formed 15.70%. 4. The greater part of representative players themselves the injury of trauma by massage (12.53%). Some of them undergo medical treatment to the specialist hospital once a year on the average. Most of hockey players have had experience in this kind of injury treatment three times one year to per person of players. A few of them showed 0.15 times per person a year. 5. Most of representative players have been periodically to the orthopedist formed 27.59 (732) out of all 2653 cases at the high rate of fact. Especially a sort of injury in analysis, the injury of ankle region showed the percentage 11.86 (704) out of all 5,937 cases at the highest rate. 6. The period of medical treatment of the representative players in Korea came out about 14.7 days. Besides period of the other player's treatment came out mostly from one to five days formed 44.82%(935 cases) 7. Manyof them have been roughly treated with muscular bruise in analysis of sports injury. They were taking pains with muscular bruise formed 15.65% (1003) out of all 6408 case. 8. In major cause of sports injury came into existence during the training with waste of physical stamina formed 35.89% and were beyond their power with practicing the game formed 48.09%. Also, a sort of those were brought about the cause of sports injury with desire of outcome too much during in the game formed 44.20%

본 연구는 glutamate( , 과 M)가 일측 흑질체를 파괴한 백서에서 apomorphine으로 유도되는 회전운동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 6-OHDA으로 우측 흑질체를 파괴한후 apomcrphine(0.1mg/kg)을 피하로 주사하면 병소반 대측으로 회전운동이 유발된다(641.7±163.9/hr). Glutamate는 apomorphine으로 유도되는 회전운동을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 그러나 이 glutamate의 감소효과는 GABA 길항제인 bicuculine에 의해 길항 그리고/ 또는 역전되었다. 이상의 실험결과에서 glutamate는 apomorphine으로 유도되는 회전운동을 감소시키고, 그 작용은 glutamate( ∼ M)가 선조체와 흑질체의 GABA 농도를 증가시킴으로써 나타났을 가능성을 시사한다. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of various concentrations of glutamate( , and M) on the circling movement induced by apomorphine in the unilateral substantia nigra-lesioned rats. Subcutaneous apomorphine(0.1mg/kg) elicited contralateral circling movement(641.7±163.9/hr). Glutamate( - M) significantly reduced the numbers of apomorphine-induced circling movement. This reducing effect of glutamate was antagonized and/or reversed by M GABA antagonist bicuculine. These results suggest that glutamate reduces circling movement induced by apomorphine and this reducing effect of glutamate may be mediated by increased GABA concentration in striatum and substantia nigra.

Cadmium, a major aquatic pollutant in many parts of the world, is toxic and readily accumulated in aquatic organisms. It mainly exists in water as complexes with organic ligands such as dissolved organic carbon and this complexation is known to have effects on the aquatic toxicities. In this study, acute toxicity, histology, and bioaccumulation were studied to evaluate effects of humic acid on cadmium toxicity and bioavailability to fish using Oryzias latipcs and Cypriruts carpio. 96h~LC50 of cadmium was 6.38 mg/L using Oryzias latipes. However, the mortality showed the dose-dependent decrease when humic acid was added to the test solution. When fish were exposed to 5 mg/L of cadmium, histological changes in the exposed organs (caudal fins, gills, kidney, liver, and gut) of Cyprinifs carpio were decreased by humic acid, especially in kidney and liver. Bioaccumulation of cadmium also decreased by treatment of humic acid. It seems that the formation of complexes between cadmium and humic acid may decrease bioavailability of cadmium to fish, and thus reduce the toxic effects of cadmium.

고지방식이가 백서 골격근 및 지방조직의 지방분해에 미치는 영향

김철희,정윤이,이성진,박중열,홍성관,김홍규,서교일,이기업 대한당뇨병학회 2002 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.24 No.6

연구배경:지방산화의 증가가 골격근에서 인슐린 저항성을 유발한다는 주장이 꾸준히 제기되어 나왔으나, 최근 제2형 당뇨병 환자나 인슐린저항성 상태에서 골격근의 지방산화능이 저하되어 있다는 보고도 있어 논란이 있는 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 고지방식이를 투여하여 인슐린저항성을 유발한 백서에서 microdialysis 기법을 이용하여 조직내의 지방분해 결과로 간질액내로 방출되는 글리세롤 농도를 골격근 및 지방조직에서 직접 측정하여 지방분해의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법:정상 Sprague­Dawley 백서를 두 군으로 나누어 4주간 고지방식이 및 저지방식이를 투여하였다. 4주간 기저상태 및 고인슐린 정상혈당 클램프 중의 골격근 및 지방조직에 microdialysis probe를 삽입하고 일정한 농도의 글리세롤을 포함하는 dialysate를 통과시켜 주입액과 유출액의 글리세롤 농도 차이로부터 조직 간질의 글리세롤 농도를 산출하엿다. 결과:기저상태에서 골격근 및 지방조직 간질의 글리세롤 농도는 저지방식이군에 비하여 고지방식이군에서 유의하게 낮았다. 고인슐린 정상혈당 클램프 중에는 골격근 및 지방조직 간질의 글리세롤 농도가 양군에서 모두 억제되었는데, 기저 상태와 마찬가지로 골격근 및 지방조직 모두에서 저지방식이군보다 고지방식이 군에서 더 낮았다. 기저 상태에 대한 고인슐린 클램프중의 글리세롤 방출 억제 정도는 저지방식이군에 비하여 고지방식이군에서 덜 억제되는 경향을 보였는데, 골격근조직에서만 통계적으로 유의하였다. 결론:본 연구 결과는 고지방식이에 의한 인슐린저항성 모델에서 골격근 및 지방조직내 지방분해가 억제되어 있음을 보여주며, 기존의 포도당­지방산 cycle 이론과는 달리 조직내 지방산화의 증가보다는 지방산화능의 감소에 따른 세포내 지방축척이 인슐린저항성과 관련될 가능성을 시사하였다. Background : It has been hypothesized that increased fat oxidation reduces glucose utilization in skeletal muscle, and is responsible for the insulin resistance associated with obesity or high-fat feeding. In contrast, there have been reports that fat oxidation capacity was decreased in skeletal muscles from insulin resistant subjects. This study was undertaken to examine whether insulin resistance in high-fat fed rats is associated with increased lipolysis in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Methods : Two groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either high-fat or low-fat diets for 4 weeks. Lipolysis in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue was determined by measurement of interstitial 1 glycerol concentrations by a microdialysis method in basal and hyperinsuline mic-euglycemic clamp conditions. Results : In basal state, plasma glycerol levels and interstitial glycerol concentrations of skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue were lower in high-fat fed than in low-fat fed rats. The degree of suppression of glycerol release by the hyperinsuline mia was smaller in the high-fat diet than in the low-fat diet group. However, plasma and interstitial glycerol concentrations during the hyperinsuline mic euglycemic clamps were also lower in the high-fat diet group. Conclusion : Lipolysis was decreased in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue of insulin resistant, high-fat fed rats. These results support the idea that limited fat oxidation capacity resulting in lipid accumulation in tissues, rather than increased fat oxidation perse, is responsible for the insulin resistance associated with high-fat feeding (J Kor Diabetes Asso 24:641~651, 2000).
