<P>Natural phytochemicals of plant origin, including flavonoids, have been found to be potent antioxidants providing beneficial effects against oxidative stress-related diseases. The present study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant properties of morin, a flavonoid originally isolated from the flowering plants of the Moraceae family. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS(center dot+)) radical scavenging activity were determined. We also investigated the cytoprotective effects of morin against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in V79-4 Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts. Our results demonstrated that morin had strong scavenging effects against ABTS' radicals with enhanced SOD activity, which varied in a dose-dependent manner. Morin was found to reduce H2O2-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and nuclear DNA damage, and it recovered cell viability damaged by H2O2 via inhibition of mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated apoptosis. Notably, the treatment of V79-4 cells with morin markedly enhanced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) but not quinone oxidoreductase-1, which was associated with the increased expression and phosphorylation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the downregulation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 expression. Based on our findings, we conclude that morin effectively ameliorated oxidative stress-induced DNA damage through intrinsic free radical scavenging activity and activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.</P>

Morin exerts cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress in C2C12 myoblasts via the upregulation of Nrf2-dependent HO-1 expression and the activation of the ERK pathway

<P>In the present study, we investigated the cytoprotective efficacy of morin, a natural flavonoid, against oxidative stress and elucidated the underlying mechanisms in C2C12 myoblasts. Our results indicated that morin treatment prior to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure significantly increased cell viability and prevented the generation of reactive oxygen species. H2O2-induced comet-like DNA formation and gamma H2AX phosphorylation were also markedly suppressed by morin with a parallel inhibition of apoptosis in C2C12 myoblasts, suggesting that morin prevented H2O2-induced cellular DNA damage. Furthermore, morin markedly enhanced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) associated with the induction and phosphorylation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the inhibition of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keapl) expression. Notably, these events were eliminated by transient transfection with Nrf2-specific small interfering RNA. Additional experiments demonstrated that the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by morin was mediated by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling cascade. This phenomenon was confirmed with suppressed Nrf2 phosphorylation and consequently diminished HO-1 expression in cells treated with a pharmacological inhibitor of ERK. Collectively, these results demonstrated that morin augments the cellular antioxidant defense capacity through the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, which involves the activation of the ERK pathway, thereby protecting C2C12 myoblasts from H2O2,-induced oxidative cytotoxicity.</P>

체중 20gm 내외의 ICR계 웅성 mouse에 체중 ㎏당 200㎎의 chloramphenicol을 매일 복강내로 주사한 후 희생전 12시간 동안 절식시키고 투여 제 5 일 및 제10일에 각각 희생시켜 십이지장을 적출하고 alkaline phosphatase 활성 및 ??, K?? 활성을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Alkaline phosphatase 활성은 대조군 mouse 십이지장의 상피세포층에서는 강한 양성반응을 나타내었으나 chloramphenicol 5일 투여군에서는 중등도의 양성반응을 나타내었고 chloramphenicol 10일 투여군에서는 약한 양성반응을 나타내었다. 2. ??, ?? 활성은 대조군 mouse 십이지장의 상피세포층에서는 강한 양성반응을 나타내었으나 chloramphenicol 5일 투여군 및 chloramphenicol 10일 투여군에서는 모두 중등도의 양성반응을 나타내었다. 이상의 소견을 족합하면 chloramphenicol은 십이지장 상피세포에 손상을 야기시켜 상피세포의 기능을 저해하는 것으로 사료된다. Albino mice, ICR strain, weighing 20gm were used as experimental animals and chloramphenicol(20㎎/㎏) was administered to the experimental animals once a day for 10 days. The experimental animals were fasted 12 hours before sacrifice and ascrificed at 5 days and 10days after initial drug administration. For the evaluation of activities of ??, ?? and alkaline phosphatase the duodenal specimens were stained by Guth and Albert's method and Gomori's method, respectively. The results were as follows. 1. The activity of alkaline phosphatase in the epithelial layer of control mouse was strongly positive, while that of 5 days chloramphenicol treated mouse was moderately positive and that of 10 days chloramphenicol treated mouse was weakly positive. 2. The activity of ??, ?? in the epithelial layer of control mouse was strongly positive, while those of 5 days and 10 days chloramphenicol treated mouse was moderately positive. Consequently, it is suggested that chloramphenicol induce damages in the duodenal epithelium, so that it inhibits the function of the duodenal epithelium.

Background & Objectives: A growing body of research has documented that occupational stress is closely associated with increased risk of fatigue. This study was conducted in an effort to assess the relationship of occupational stress to self-perceived fatigue among Korean white collar employees. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project, 2002-2004). Among them, a total of 4,502 white collar employees were recruited. A structured questionnaire was employed to evaluate the participants' sociodemographics, job-related factors, health-related behaviors, occupational stress, and self-perceived fatigue. Occupational stress and self-perceived fatigue were assessed using the Korean Occupational Stress ScaleShort form (KOSS-SF) and the Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS), respectively. Results: In logistic regression analyses, occupational stress was associated with an increased risk of fatigue, and some domains of occupational stress had different effects on fatigue by gender (job demand, job insecurity, and lack of reward for men, job demand, lack of reward, and discomfort in occupational climate for women), which indicates that occupational stress may perform a slightly different role in increasing the risk of fatigue by gender. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that occupational stress is a determinant predictor of self-perceived fatigue. Thus, a stress management program for the reduction of occupational stress, and the promotion of white collar worker's health and quality of life is strongly recommended. Some limitations of this study and considerations for future studies were also discussed.

During high-speed running of machine tools, serious vibrations often may occur in their feed-drive system. In this paper, a 4-D.O.F. planar motion model is proposed in order to analyze a ball screw feed-drive system. The equations of motion are derived for the proposed model and natural frequencies of the system are calculated. Also its transient response due to driving motor speed control input are calculated. The theoretical analysis results showed good agreement with experimental ones measured from a laboratory feed-drive test system. Consequently we concluded that the proposed 4-D.O.F model can be well applicable to the vibration analysis and dynamic design of machine tool feed-drive system.
