Background : Serum osteocalcin is synthesized by osteoblast and has been shown to be sensitive indicator of bone turnover inpatients with various metabolic bone disease. In renal osteodystrophy, serum osteocalcin is elevated due to decreased renal clearance and elevated level of PTH. This study was done to evaluate the usefulness of serum osteocalcin as a marker of bone metabolism and the correlation with other biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Methods : We measured serum osteocalcin, calcium, phosphorus, ALP(alkaline phosphatase) and PTH(parathyroid hormone) in 37 patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis. Osteocalcin was determined by radioimmunoassay and PTH was determined by radioimmunometric assay. Results : 1) The mean level of serum osteocalcin in ESRD patients was 233.8± 218.2ng/ml which was significantly higher than that of controls(p<0.0001). 2) The mean level of serum PTH in ESRD patients was 40.5± 43.8pg/ml was significantly higher than that of controls(p<0.005). 3) There was a significant positive correlation between the level of serum PTH, ALP and the level of serum osteocalcin in ESRD patients. 4) By using multiple regression, PTH is most reliable factor that affect to elevated level of serum osteocalcin ( beta coefficient = 0.687, Sig T<0.05). Conclusion : Serum osteocalcin as a marker of bone metabolism in ESRD patients is more useful than other biochemical marker such as serum calcium, phosphorus, ALP and PTH is a most reliable factor that affect to elevated level of serum osteocalin.

The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in body composition, cardiopulmonary function, and flexibility following 8 weeks' bicycle ergometer exercise training. The subjects of this research consisted of healthy adult women between 30 and 40 years of age. Initial intensity of bicycle ergometer exercise was based on the target heart rate equivalent to 55% of maximal oxygen uptake, and intensity of the exercise increased by 5% every 2 weeks. Body composition, cardiopulmonary function at rest and during maximal exercise, as well as flexibility were determined before and after 8 weeks of bicycle ergometer exercise training. Masimal exercise was performed on the treadmill according to Bruce Protocol. The results obtained were as follows; 1. There were o changes in body weight, percent body fat, fat body weight, and lean body weight as well. The ventilation volume for 1 minute, respiratory quotient and expired CO₂ volume have not changed significantly after the training, either. 2. As a result of training, resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly(p<.05) 3. Maximal heart rate, maximal oxygen consumption and maximal running time increased significantly after the training(p<.05) 4. Pelvic flexibility increased slightly after the training, however, it did not reach the statistical significance. Trunk flexion forward increased significantly after the training(p<.05). From these results, it may be concluded that 8 weeks bicycle ergometr training improve the cardiopulmonary function and flexibility in healthy adult women between 30-40 years of age.

박철영,류미숙,우정택,김성운,김진우,김영설,안규정 대한당뇨병학회 2002 임상당뇨병 Vol.3 No.2

연구배경: 당뇨병 환자에서 엄격한 혈당조절은 환자의 예후와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 혈당조절을 철저히 하기 위해서는 자가 혈당 측정기의 사용이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 또한 저혈당이 빈번하게 발생하거나, 위험요소가 있는 환자들에게도 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 전기화학감지법의 원리를 이용하여 국내에서 처음 생산된 자가혈당측정기인 GlucoDr™ blood Glucose Testing System(ALL Medicus, Co, Korea)를 현재 국내에서 시판되고 있는 다른 제품과 비교, 평가하여 임상적 유용성을 살펴보고자 하였다 방법: 혈당측정기준장비는 YSI 2300 STAT Plus(YSI Incorporated, USA)를 사용하였으며 GlucoDr™외에 Glucocard(KDK, Japan), Precision QID(Abbott Laboratories, Co, USA), Glucotrend(Roche, USA), Surestep(Lifescan, USA)의 다른 혈당측정기를 같이 평가하였다. 정밀도, 직선성, 비교방법과의 상관관계 평가, 검체량에 따른 영향, 헤마토크리트에 따른 영향, 검사자에 따른 영향, 항응고제에 따른 영향들을 평가하였다. 결과: 본 연구에서의 주된 평가대상인 GlucoDr™의 평가결과, 정밀도를 나타내는 검사 내, 검사 간 변이계수는 8%이내였으며, 45~500mg/dL 범위에서 R²=0.9906, 0.9984 정도의 직선성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에 있어 비교방법으로 이용한 YSI 2300 STAT Plus와의 상관관계 및 정확도는 y = 1.0058x + 0.453, R = 0.9853인 것으로 나타났다. 검체량이나 검사자 및 항응고제에 따른 측정값에는 유의할만한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 헤마토크리트가 증가 또는 감소함에 따라 최소 10%에서 최대 26% 가량의 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 결론: GlucoDrTM는 국내 사용되는 다른 혈당측정기와 비교하여 유용할 것으로 생각된다. Background: Self-monitoing blood glucose devices are sidely used in monitoring and point-of-care testing for the management of diabetic patients. We performed the present study to evaluate the performance of the GlucoDr™ blood glucose testing system using an electrochemical technique. Method: The GlucoDr™ was evaluated for linearity, precision, comparison of method, the effect of sample volume, hematocrit concentration, reapplication, operator and application methods. Results: The GlucoDr™ showed good linearity for glucose concentrations ranging from 52mg/dl to 475mg/dl(r²=0.971). The single day, and day-to-day, CV were within 8%. Excellent correlation was found between the GlucoDr™ and YSI 2300 STAT Plus(y=1.0058x + 0.453, r²=0.9710). The sample volume, reapplication, operator and application method produced no significant effect on the test result. An overestimation in the glucose values was found with low hematocrit concentrations. There was no significant effect by the anticoagulants, with the exception of citrate. Conclusion: The GlucoDr™ showed good linearity, precision and correlation with the reference method and provided rapid and reliable result for blood glucose levels. Therefore, the GlucoDr™ seems appropriate for clinical use in the management of diabetic patients.

This study investigated the experience and practice of elementary school students on nutrition education. The data were collected from 217 male and female students attending 5-6th grade elementary schools in Seoul and Kyunggi-Do from March to June 2007, interviewing face to face by a nutrition teacher and 3 interns of a nutrition teacher. The results were as follows: 86.5% of the subjects learned about ‘Table etiquette’, ‘Reasons for eating fruits and vegetables’ (78.7%), ‘Food waste and environment’ (72.3%), ‘Healthy snacks’ (55.7%), ‘Food sanitation’ (52.3%), ‘Food culture of foreign countries’ (48.1%). Nutrition education experience was significantly different by gender. A total of 43.5% boys responded that they never learned about ‘basic food preperation’ (p < 0.01). They had learned ‘Nutrients for body’ and ‘Food waste and environment’ in school, ‘Healthy weight loss’, ‘Food culture of foreign countries’, ‘Food circulation’ on television, Most content (‘Table etiquette’, ‘Simple cooking’, ‘Food sanitati n’, ‘Eating behaviors for health’, ‘Reasons for eating fruits and vegetables’, ‘Healthy snacks’) was learned from parents. The practice after nutrition education was higher in ‘Table etiquette’ (2.14), ‘Eating fruits and vegetables’ (2.07) than others compared with education experience. The most reason of non-practice on nutrition information was ‘Troublesome’. In ‘Nutrients for body’, a boy answered ‘Difficult for practice’ 20.0%, a girl answered ‘Difficult to understand’ 32.6%, showing a significant difference between the gender groups (p < 0.001). They remembered the ‘Nutrients for body’ (49.6%), ‘Food sanitation’ (44.5%) because of ‘important content’,‘Basic food preparation’ (40.6%), ‘Food culture of foreign countries’ (36.3%) because of ‘interesting content’, ‘Healthy weight loss’ (52.0%), ‘Eating behavior for health’ (44.5%) and ‘Healthy snacks’ (33.7%) because of ‘need for my health’.

Potential involvement of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β in a rat model of multiple sclerosis:

Mee jung Ahn,Jeong tae Kim,Chang nam Park,Jin hee Cho,Young heun Jee,Kyung sook Jung,Chang jong Moon,Tae kyun Shin 대한해부학회 2017 Anatomy & Cell Biology Vol.50 No.1

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β has been known as a pro-inflammatory molecule in neuroinflammation. The involvement of GSK-3β remains unsolved in acute monophasic rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The aim of this study was to evaluate a potential role of GSK-3β in central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity through its inhibition by lithium. Lithium treatment significantly delayed the onset of EAE paralysis and ameliorated its severity. Lithium treatment reduced the serum level of pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor a but not that of interleukin 10. Western blot analysis showed that the phosphorylation of GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) and its upstream factor Akt was significantly increased in the lithium-treated group. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that lithium treatment also suppressed the activation of ionized calcium binding protein-1–positive microglial cells and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in the spinal cords of lithium-treated EAE rats. These results demonstrate that lithium ameliorates clinical symptom of acute monophasic rat EAE, and GSK-3 is a target for the suppression of acute neuroinflammation as far as rat model of human CNS disease is involved.

Pheophorbide??a-mediated photodynamic therapy induces apoptotic cell death in murine oral squamous cell carcinoma in vitro and in vivo.

Ahn, Mee-Young,Kwon, Seong-Min,Kim, Yong-Chul,Ahn, Sang-Gun,Yoon, Jung-Hoon National Hellenic Research Foundation 2012 ONCOLOGY REPORTS Vol.27 No.6

<P>Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with several photosensitizers is a promising modality for the treatment of cancer. In this study, the therapeutic effect of PDT using the synthetic photosensitizer pheophorbide a (Pa-PDT) was examined in AT-84 murine oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. The MTT assay revealed that Pa-PDT induced cell growth inhibition in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Pa-PDT treatment significantly induced intracellular ROS generation, which is critical for cell death induced by Pa-PDT. Cell cycle analysis showed the increased sub-G1 proportion of cells in Pa-PDT-treated cells. Induction of apoptotic cell death was confirmed by DAPI staining and the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (??과m) on Pa-PDT-treated cells. The changes in apoptosis-related molecules were next examined using western blotting. Cytochrome c release and cleavage of caspase-3 and PAPR were observed in AT-84 cells, whereas Bcl-2 protein levels were decreased. To determine the therapeutic effect of Pa-PDT in vivo, a murine OSCC animal model was used. Treatment of mice with Pa-PDT significantly inhibited tumor growth, especially PDT with Pa intravenous administration (i.v. Pa-PDT), and increased proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels and TUNEL-stained apoptotic cells compared to vehicle-treated controls. The data demonstrate that the in vitro effects of Pa-PDT on the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis correlate to the anticancer activity of Pa-PDT in vivo. Our findings suggest the therapeutic potential of Pa-PDT in OSCC.</P>

Ethanol extract of Callophyllis japonica enhances nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in mouse macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells

Ahn, Mee-Jung,Park, Dal-Soo,Yang, Won-Hyung,Go, Gyung-Min,Kim, Hyung-Min,Hyun, Jin-Won,Park, Jae-Woo,Shin, Taek-Yun Kyung Hee Oriental Medicine Research Center 2007 Oriental pharmacy and experimental medicine Vol.7 No.4

Red seaweed (Callophyllis japonica) has long formed part of the diet of Asians, but the pharmacological properties of this plant have not been evaluated. In this study, we examined the effect of an ethanol extract of C. japonica on the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells. The C. japonica extract increased the generation of NO and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), which were detected by the Griess method and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The increased production of NO by C. japonica extract was inhibited by $N^G$-monomethyl-L-arginine ($100{\mu}M$), a specific inhibitor of NO production in the L-arginine-dependent pathway, and by the nuclear $factor-{\kappa}B$ ($NF-{\kappa}B$) inhibitor, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ($10-100{\mu}M$) in a dose-dependent manner. These findings demonstrate that C. japonica extract stimulates the production of NO and $TNF-{\alpha}$ in RAW 264.7 cells through the activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ and that this extract might also inhibit the growth of the human leukemic cells.

Lindera erythrocarpa Makino extract reduces obesity induced by high-fat diet in rats

Ahn, Mee-Jung,Yang, Won-Jun,Kang, So-Hi,Kang, Min-Chul,Ko, Ryeo-Kyeong,Kim, Gi-Ok,Shin, Tae-Kyun Kyung Hee Oriental Medicine Research Center 2010 Oriental pharmacy and experimental medicine Vol.10 No.4

Lindera erythrocarpa Makino (LE) is widely distributed on Jeju Island, where it has been used for various traditional therapies. Effects of a crude extract of LE were examined in rats with obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Anti-obesity effects were followed in rats receiving orally administered vehicle, 100mg/kg extract, or 250 mg/kg LE extract, for 56 days. LE extract (250 mg/kg) suppressed increases in body weight and epididymal fat, with amelioration of fatty changes in the liver. Additionally, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total cholesterol were significantly decreased compared with those of vehicle-treated groups (p < 0.05). These results suggest that oral administration of LE extract reduced rat obesity induced by HFD, possibly through the reduction of fat accumulation.
