목적: 본 연구의 목적은 신연 골형성술에서의 염증성 싸이토카인의 발현 양상을 일반 골절 치유 과정과 비교하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 흰쥐 경골의 단순 골절 치유 모델과 신연 골형성술 모델을 대상으로 3주에 걸쳐서 단계적으로 골 조직을 채취하였다. 총 리보핵산을 추출하고 각종 염증성 싸이토카인 발현의 시간적 변화를 검사하였다. 수술 후 7일과 9일째에 조직에서 면역조직화학 검사를 통해서 IL-6의 공간적 발현 양상을 조사하였다. 결과: IL-1β, IL-6는 단순 골절 치유 과정에서 수술 후 1일째에 발현이 절정에 달하였다가 3일째부터 발현이 감소하여 수술 전 상태로 회복되었다. IL-1β는 신연 골형성술 중 신연 기간에도 발현의 변화가 없었으나 IL-6은 신연을 시작함에 따라 다시 발현이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 면역조직화학 검사장 IL-6은 골수 세포 뿐 아니라 연골세포, 골모세포 그리고 신연 간격의 미성숙 간엽세포에서 발현이 확인되었다. 결론: 신연 변형력에 의한 IL-6의 발현이 유도되는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 조절된 염증 반응이 신연 골형성술 과정에서 신생골 형성에 부분적으로 기여할 가능성을 시사하는 것으로 생각된다. Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate the expression pattern of pro-inflammatory cytokines during distraction osteogenesis and to compare these with expression during simple fracture healing. Materials and Methods: Regenerated bones from the rat tibia subjected distraction osteogenesis and simple fracture healing models were harvested over three-week periods. Temporal expressions of mRNA of pro-inflammatory cytokines were investigated by RNase protection assay. Immunohistochemical studies for IL-6 were performed in postoperative day 7 and 9 tissue section specimens. Results: IL-1β and IL-6 produced detectable signals, while IL-1α, TNF α and TNF β did not. The mRNA expressions of IL-1β and IL-6 were markedly upregulated on postoperative day 1 and then subsided to the preoperative level. IL-1β mRNA expression remained the same even when distraction began. However, IL-6 mRNA expression was reactivated during the distraction phase. Immunohistochemical study revealed the expressions of IL-6 not only at the transitional zone of the transchondroid ossification, in young osteoblasts lining newly formed trabeculae and in hematopoietic cells in the marrow but also in primitive mesenchymal cells at the distraction gap. Conclusion: Distraction strain re-induced IL-6 expression during distraction osteogenesis, which suggests that well-controlled inflammatory reaction might contribute to active new bone formation in distraction osteogenesis.

<P><I>Background:</I> Th2 cytokines play pivotal roles in allergic inflammation, including eosinophilia, and their actions are antagonized by Th1 cytokines, conferring them therapeutic potential. <I>Methods:</I> In this study, we examined the ability of a number of cytokines to suppress the activation of eosinophils that function as effector cells for allergic airway diseases. <I>Results:</I> Interleukin (IL)-5, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induced an eosinophil shape change, whereas interferon (IFN)-γ significantly inhibited the shape change. Other cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13, had little or only slightly enhancing or reducing effects on the shape change. We further analyzed the IFN-γ effect, showing that pretreatment with IFN-γ strongly suppressed IL-5-induced eosinophil shape change, and cycloheximide (CHX) abrogated the suppression by IFN-γ, suggesting that new protein synthesis is required for the inhibitory effect by this cytokine. In agreement with these results, IFN-γ blocked the eosinophil migration and ERK phophorylation induced by IL-5, and the addition of CHX restored eosinophil chemotaxis. <I>Conclusions:</I> Collectively, IFN-γ may attenuate eosinophilic inflammation by directly negating eosinophil mobilization.</P><P>Copyright © 2005 S.

Background/Aims: The prevalence of gastric cancer and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is high in Korea. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence rate of atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) and their risk factors in the aspect of Hp virulence factors, environmental and host factors in normal population. Methods: The subjects consisted of 389, 135 H. pylori-negative and 254 H. pylori-positive. AG and IM were scored histologically by the Sydney classification in the antrum and body, respectively. Prevalence rate and bacterial factors such as cagA, vacA m1, m2, and oipA; environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol drinking; host factors such as genetic polymorphisms for IL-IB-511, IL-IRN, TNF-A, IL-10-592, IL-10-819, IL-10-1082, IL-8-251, IL-6-572, GSTP1, and p53 codon 72 were evaluated. Risk factors were calculated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence rate of AG increased from 25%, 0% in the age of 20s, 45% and 22% in the 40s and 50% and 35% in the over 70s in the antrum and body, respectively (p<0.001). In case of IM it increased from 11.1% and 6.4% in the 30s up to 43% and 43% in over 70s in the antrum and body, respectively, (p<0.001). The positive rates of AG and IM were significantly higher in the Hp-positive than in the Hp-negative subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors for AG were Hp infection, age ≥60, cagA and vacA m1 positive. In case of IM the risk factors were Hp infection, age ≥60, smoking, spicy food, occupation (unemployed or non professional vs. professional), IL6-572 G carrier over C/C and IL10-592 C/A vs. A/A. Conclusions: The prevalence rate of AG and IM increased proportional to age. The most risk factor for AG and IM was Hp infection. Bacterial factors were important for AG but environmental and host factors were rather important in case of IM.

Background: In kidney transplantation, donor specific transfusion may induce tolerance as a result of some immune regulatory cells against the graft. In organ transplantation, the immune state arises from a relationship between the immunocompromised graft and the immunocompetent host. However, a reverse immunological situation exists between the graft and the host in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In addition, early IL-2 injections after an allogeneic murine HSCT have been shown to prevent lethal graft versus host disease (GVHD) due to CD4+ cells. We investigated the induction of the regulatory CD4+CD25+ cells after a transfusion of irradiated recipient cells with IL-2 into a donor. Methods: The splenocytes (SP) were obtained from 6 week-old BALB/c mice ($H-2^d$) and irradiated as a single cell suspension. The donor mice (C3H/He, $H-2^k$) received $5{\times}10^6$ irradiated SP, and 5,000 IU IL-2 injected intraperitoneally on the day prior to HSCT. The CD4+CD25+ cell populations in SP treated C3H/He were analyzed. In order to determine the in vivo effect of CD4+CD25+ cells, the lethally irradiated BALB/c were transplanted with $1{\times}10^7$ donor BM and $5{\times}10^6$ CD4+CD25+ cells. The other recipient mice received either $1{\times}10^7$ donor BM with $5{\times}10^6$ CD4+ CD25- cells or the untreated SP. The survival and GVHD was assessed daily by a clinical scoring system. Results: In the MLR assay, BALB/c SP was used as a stimulator with C3H/He SP, as a responder, with or without treatment. The inhibition of proliferation was $30.0{\pm}13%$ compared to the control. In addition, the MLR with either the CD4+CD25+ or CD4+CD25- cells, which were isolated by MidiMacs, from the C3H/He SP treated with the recipient SP and IL-2 was evaluated. The donor SP treated with the recipient cells and IL-2 contained more CD4+CD25+ cells ($5.4{\pm}1.5%$) than the untreated mice SP ($1.4{\pm}0.3%$)(P<0.01). There was a profound inhibition in the CD4+CD25+ cells ($61.1{\pm}6.1%$), but a marked proliferation in the CD4+CD25- cells ($129.8{\pm}65.2%$). Mice in the CD4+CD25+ group showed low GVHD scores and a slow progression from the post-HSCT day 4 to day 9, but those in the control and CD4+CD25- groups had a high score and rapid progression (P<0.001). The probability of survival was 83.3% in the CD4+CD25+ group until post-HSC day 35 and all mice in the control and CD4+CD25- groups died on post-HSCT day 8 or 9 (P=0.0105). Conclusion: Donor graft engineering with irradiated recipient SP and IL-2 (recipient specific transfusion) can induce abundant regulatory CD4+CD25+ cells to prevent GVHD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate induction of cytokine expression in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) by whole cell and the components of T. forsythia. Material and Methods: After HGFs were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), membrane protein isolated from T. forsythia or culture media of T. forsythia, the induction of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and IL-8 was examined with real-time PCR and ELISA. Their induction ability of cytokines was compared with whole bacteria. Result: The expression of IL-6 and IL-8 was significantly induced in HGFs by whole bacteria and membrane protein. The expression of IL-$1{\beta}$ was induced by membrane protein of T. forsythia, not by whole bacteria. LPS and condition media of T. forsythia slightly activated HGFs. Conclusion: The membrane protein of T. forsythia could be one of virulence factors.

Protective Effects of Acorn (Quercus acutissima CARR.) against IgE-mediated Allergic and Ovalbumin (OVA)-Induced Asthmatic Responses via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress

Chung, Mi-Ja,Jo, Hang-Soo,Choi, Ha-Na,Cho, Soo-Muk,Park, Yong-Il The Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and 2011 Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation Vol.41 No.6

This work was performed to investigate the protective effect of ethanol extract (AEx) from acorn (Quercus acutissima CARR.) against allergic mediated responses in asthma model cells and mice. The AEx inhibited antigen-stimulated cytokine production such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and AEx also inhibited intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation against IgE-mediated allergic response in rat basophilic leukaemia RBL-2H3 cells. The ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice were orally administered with AEx (100 or 300 mg/kg) and authentic tannic acid (75 mg/kg) every day for 15 days. Increased TNF-${\alpha}$ production by OVA-sensitization/challenge was significantly reduced by administration of AEx. The serum triglyceride levels of asthma mice were significantly reduced after feeding for 15 days with tannic acid or AEx. The mice fed with tannic acid or AEx also exhibited a significant reduction in body weights compared to those of asthma control group. The AEx increased the heme oxygenase (HO)-1 mRNA expression in the asthma model mice and showed DPPH radical scavenging activity. These results indicate that AEx protects against IgEmediated allergic and OVA-induced asthmatic responses via direct and indirect antioxidant activities. Reduced triglyceride and body weights may provide additional protective benefits of AEx on allergic asthma.

Anthocyanins belong to a group of flavonoid compounds and are well known for their various health beneficial effects including antioxidative activities. Among them, the major anthocyanins isolated from the seed coat of black soybean (Glycine max L.) were previously characterized as glycosides having glucopyranose. Asthma is an allergic disease that is strongly associated with various immune cells including basophils and mast cells. Eosinophils, basophils and mast cells play important roles in asthma through the release of inflammatory mediators such as athma-specific T-helper (Th)2 cytokines and subsequent amplification of asthma symptoms by their degranulation. Rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells was the most common in vitro models used for evaluating asthmatic reactions. We examined the effects of anthocyanin from the seed coat of black soybean (Glycine max L.) on the antigen-stimulated degranulation and Th2 cytokines production in RBL-2H3. Cell degranulation was evaluated by detecting the release of β -hexosaminidase. The β-hexosaminidase release and Th2 cytokine production in RBL-2H3 cells upon stimulation with IgE-antigen complex was much higher those that in untreated control cells. Anthocyanins significantly suppressed the IgE-antigen complex-induced degranulation of RBL-2H3 and inhibited IgE-antigen complex-mediated interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and TNF-α production in RBL-2H3 cells. These findings suggest that anthocyanins from the seed coat of black soybean (Glycine max L.) effectively inhibit asthmatic reactions and may have beneficial effects against allergic asthma.

안토시아닌(anthocyanins)은 플라보노이드에 속하고 항산화 활성들을 포함한 그들의 다양한 건강 유익성에 대해 알려져 있다. 그들 중 검정콩 껍질에서 분리한 주요 안토시아닌은 glycopyranose를 함유하고 있는 배당체이다. 천식은 호염기성 세포(basophils)와 비만세포(mast cells)를 포함한 다양한 면역세포와 관련된 알레르기 관련 질병이다. 호산구 (eosinophils), 호염기성 세포, 비만세포는 탈과립화에 의한 천식-특이적 보조 2(T-helper 2) 사이토카인 분비 그리고 계속해서 일어나는 증폭과 같은 염증을 일으키는 매개체의 증가를 통해 알레르기 천식(allergic asthma)에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 흰쥐 호염기성 백혈병(rat basophilic leukemia) RBL-2H3 세포는 알레르기 반응을 측정하기 위해 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 in vitro 모델이다. 본 연구에서는 검정콩 껍질 안토시아닌이 항원으로 자극한 RBL-2H3 세포에서 탈 과립 그리고 Th2 사이토카인 생산에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 세포 탈과립은 β-hexosaminidase의 방출을 검출함으로써 평가하였다. IgE-항원 복합체로 자극한 RBL-2H3 세포내 β-hexosaminidase 방출과 Th2 사이토카인 생산이 무 처리군의 그것과 비교하여 더 높았다. 안토시아닌은 RBL-2H3 세포의 IgE-항원 복합체 유도 탈과립을 현저하게 억제 시켰고 RBL-2H3 세포내 IgE-항원 복합체-매개체 interleukin( IL)-4, IL-13 그리고 TNF-α 생산을 저해하였다. 이러한 결과는 검정콩 껍질 유래 안토시아닌이 알레르기 반응(allergic reaction)을 현저히 저해하는 효과가 있음을 보였고, 이들 안토시아닌이 향후 알레르기 천식을 억제하거나 개선하는데 유용한 물질로 사용될 가능성이 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

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.

大邱地域 兒童에서 蟯蟲卵 檢出率의 1973年과 1986年과의 比較

徐蓮瓊,金重洛,鄭東一,崔東翊 慶北大學校 醫科大學 1987 慶北醫大誌 Vol.28 No.1

1986年 2月부터 同年 5月까지 大邱近郊의 都市 및 農村國民學校 學童과 孤兒院生의 蟯蟲 感染率을 Graham氏 scotch-tape檢査法으로 1回 檢査한 다음 Choi等(1973)의 調査 成績과 比較하였다. 이번 調査(1986)에서 被檢兒動 936名 中 蟯蟲卵의 檢出率은 27.8%였고 男兒 26.0%, 女兒 29.6%로서 性別間에 有意的 差를 認定할 수 없었으며 年齡이 增加할수록 높았다. 都市兒童에서의 蟯蟲卵의 檢出率은 1973年 43.4%였던 것이 이번(1986)에는 5.4%로서 顯著하게 減少되었다. 그러나 農村學動과 孤兒院生에서는 그 率에 有意的 減少를 나타내었으나 顯著하지 않았다. From February to May, 1986, urban and rural school children and institution children were examined for the presence of Enterobius vermicularis eggs in the Taegu area. All children were examined once by a modification of the Graham's scotch-tape swab technique, and compared with the results reported by Choi et al. (1973). The detection rate in 936 children was found to be 27.8 per cent. The rate in boys was 26.0 per cent, and the rate in girls 29.6 per cent. There was no significant difference in the rate with regard to sex. But the rate among the urban school children in the present study(1986) was only 5.4 per cent, and markedly decreased as compared with the rate, 43.4 per cent reported by Choi et al. (1973). However, difference in the rate of infestation in both rural school children and institution children was not pronounced between 1973 and 1986.
