Purpose: The consequences of precipitously rising allergic skin inflammation rates worldwide have accelerated the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD). Natural product-based agents with good efficacy and low risk of side effects offer promising prevention and treatment strategies for inflammation-related diseases. We have already reported that Platycodon grandiflorum root-derived saponins (Changkil saponins, CKS) have many pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, but its influence on AD remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on AD-like skin symptoms in mice and the possible mechanisms in cells. Methods: Mice were sensitized and challenged with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Four weeks after challenge, mice were treated with oral administration of CKS for 4 weeks. In addition, cells were used to evaluate the effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on the TARC expression regulated mechanism. Results: CKS attenuated DNCB-induced dermatitis severity, serum levels of IgE and TARC, and mRNA expression of TARC, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in mice. Histopathological examination showed reduced thickness of the epidermis/dermis and dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells and mast cells in the ears. Moreover, CKS and platycodin D inhibited TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced TARC expression through the suppression of NF-κB and STAT1 and induction of Nrf2/ARE-mediated hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in cells. Conclusion: We suggest that CKS and platycodin D inhibited the development of AD-like skin symptoms by regulating cytokine mediators and may be an effective alternative therapy for AD-like skin symptoms.ⓒ2014 Elsevler Gmbh.

Lee, Sang Choel,Han, Seung Hyeok,Li, Jin Ji,Lee, Sun Ha,Jung, Dong-Sub,Kwak, Seung-Jae,Kim, Seung Hye,Kim, Dong Ki,Yoo, Tae-Hyun,Kim, Jin Hyun,Chang, Se-Ho,Han, Dae Suk,Kang, Shin-Wook International Society of Nephrology 2009 Kidney international Vol.76 No.8

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an anti-oxidant enzyme normally upregulated in response to oxidant injury. Here we determined the role of HO-1 in podocyte apoptosis in glomeruli of streptozotocin-treated rats and in immortalized mouse podocytes cultured in media containing normal or high glucose. HO-1 expression, its activity, the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 protein, and active caspase-3 fragments were all significantly higher in isolated glomeruli of diabetic rats and in high glucose–treated podocytes. These increases were inhibited by zinc protoporphyrin treatment of the rats or by HO-1 siRNA treatment of the podocytes in culture. The number of apoptotic cells was also significantly increased in the glomeruli of diabetic rats and in high glucose–treated podocytes. Inhibition of HO-1 accentuated the increase in apoptotic cells both in vivo and in vitro. Our findings suggest that HO-1 expression protects against podocyte apoptosis under diabetic conditions.

The characteristic of cultural tourism has been changed since the seventeenth century based on relationship between tourism and culture. The origin of cultural tourism is usually attributed the Grand Tour, which originated in Britain in the seventeenth century. Most of the early Grand Tourist were aristocrats for whom a trip to continental Europe was often a coda to classical education. During Romanticism, the pattern of Grand tour changed form the "Classical Grand Tour" which concentrated on the culture of the ancient classical world and Renaissance, to the "Romantic Grand Tour," with more attention devoted to romantic views of urban and rural scenery. In the aftermath, cultural motive of tourism continued to be heritage tourism focused on museums, monuments, historical sits and so on. Cultural tourism can be explained as a consequence of wider social and economic trends which mark either the period of `late modernism' or `postmodernism.' Important elements of these trends which relate to the development of cultural tourism include de-differentiation between perviously separate social and economic spheres, antiauratic phenomenon between high culture and popular culture. An important consequence of these changes is that tourism and culture are to be the same sphere.

To determine the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ(ANG Ⅱ)-induced hypertension on the renal hemodynamic response of norepinephrine(NE), mongrel dog instrumented for checking of renal blood flow(RBF) was followed as the step increases every 2 minutes in the rate of norepinephrine infusion into the renal artery during 5 conditions (C : control, C+PD : control+pressure decompression of aorta, ACEI : angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, ACEI+ANG Ⅱ : angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor+ANG Ⅱ, ACEI+ANG Ⅱ+PD : angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor+ANG Ⅱ+pressure decompression of aorta) Without relation of increase (C, C+PD) or decrease (ACEI+ANG Ⅱ, ACEI+ANG Ⅱ+PD) of the plasma ANG Ⅱ level when NE is infused into vessel, there were no differences in RBF response to NE infusion between C and C+PD and between ACEI+ANG Ⅱ and ACEI+ANG Ⅱ+PD, which implies that renal arterial pressure(RAP) does not play an important role in controling the renal hemodynamic response to NE. When renin angiotensin system was blocked by captopril without adding to ANG Ⅱ supply (ACEI), RBF can be severe decreased to approximately 90% at much lower rates of NE infusion than occurred when the sufficient concentration of ANG Ⅱ were present in the plasma. As the increased sensitivity of NE did not occur at lower renal arterial pressure, when ANGⅡ was present in the plasma in sufficient concentrations, it seems that protective effect on renal function is possible by ANGⅡ during renal sympathetic stimulation.

The purpose of this study is mainly to find out the regional development model and the strategic change of the Saemaul Undong in these days of political decentralization and localization. Saemaeul Undong began in 1970. And it can not be denied that it has made much contribution to the improvement of income level, physical condition of resident's life and mentality of people, especially in rural area. But it has also problems like deep envolvement of government bureaucracy and emphasizing material production as a criterion of effectiveness. So, being faced with the introduction of local self-government system, the Saemaul Undong should be changed in the direction as follows. 1. Citizen partictpation should be increased through activating all kinds of self-generating, informal civil organizations. 2. In prospect of carrying out of local self-government system, government initiative can be decreased by transfering the leadership of the Saemaul Undong to the organization composed of citizen and local self-government officials. 3. Transfering most activities except mental develoment area to the normal goverment administration can make the movement concentrate its efforts onmental devolopment goal. Even then, mental development activities should be directed mainly to awaken a person to the importance of self conciousness as a citizen living in democratic socity on the premise that only such self conciousness could establish local self -government system and democracy ultimately in our country. 4. Saemaul Uodong should change its strategy from the community. development approach to the regional development approach to keep in step with increasing concern for localization and regional development. To sum up, Saemaul Undong should be done for the purpose of enlightening a person as a citizen who knows his civil rights and duties, and should expand its activity perspective from community development model to the regional development model.

Recently, lots of studies for high flowing concrete have been suggested under practical use that it is only a way to solve the confronted problem. However, most studies have been concentrated on the manufacture method and properties of fresh concrete, but there is few studies for the durability of hardened concrete, specially for the freezing and thawing. It is generally known that the frost resistance of concrete is much affected by the air content in concrete and by the air void system. The frost resistance is also believed to vary with the strength of concrete. The purpose of this experimental study is to make a comparison between high flowing concrete using viscosity agent and ordinary concrete about the effect of the viscosity agent, air content and curing method on the frost resistance. As the result of tutus study, the frost resistance have not effect the viscosity agent but effect the different of curing methods.
