Preventive and Antioxidative Effects of Crude Drug Preparation(E-kong-san) on Cisplatin Induced Nephrotoxicity. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 201-211, 1999. -Nephroprotective effects of a crude drug-prearation (E-kong-san) were determined from cisplatin on rabbit kidney proximal tubule and human renal cortical cells by MTT assays and sustained glucose consumption on ciplatin-induced human renal cortical tissue. Levels of creatinine and blood ure nitrogen(BUN) in serum after administration of cisplatin(0.75mg/kg,i.p.) to E-kong-san(0.75g/kg/day,p.o.)-pretreated rats were markedly lower compared to those of cisplatin-treated rats. Moreover, the administration of E-kong-san significantly inhibited the loss of body weight of cisplatin injected rts. These findings suggest that E-kong-san on the cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity led us to investigate whether the effect of this water extract was a result of anti-oxidation. E-kong-san showed strong free radical scavenger activities on 1,1-dipheny1-2picrylhydrazil(DPPH) radical and xanthine/xanthine oxidase(XOD) generated superoxide anion radical(O2-). We further studied the effects of E-kong-san on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by enzymatic and nonenzymatic methods. E-kong-san exhibited significant inhibition on both ascorbic acid/Fe2+and ADP/NADPH/Fe3+ induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Based on these results, we suggest that-E-kong-san attenuate the cisplatin induced cytotoxicity and its mechanism can be eplained by antioxidant.

이 논문은 판상형 충전제의 함량과 배향에 따라 폴리프로필렌 복합체의 영률 변화에 미치는 영향을 연구 하였다. 이론적인 예측은 Lee와 그의 연구자들에 의해 제안된 두 개의 종횡비, ρα=a1/a3과 ρβ=a1/a2 를 이용하여 3차원 타원체의 형상을 계산하였고 실험값과 비교 분석하였다. 판상형 충전제로 운모와 탈크를 사용하였다. 충전제의 형태는 SEM을 이용해 관찰하였고, 종횡비는 고분자의 흐름을 기준으로 좌표축을 설정하여 통계적 방법으로 계 산하였다. 충전제가 운모인 경우에 ρα=13.5와 ρβ=1.8이었고, 탈크의 경우는 ρα=3.8과 ρβ=1.4이었다. 또한 충전제 의 2개의 종횡비와 함량이 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 운모의 경우 30 wt% 함량일 때 E11이 약 2.7배 향상되었다. 탈크의 경우는 E11이 약 2.3배 향상하였다. This paper studied the effects of the content and the orientation of the disk shape fillers on the modulus of PP composites. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical calculations which included the three dimensional ellipsoids and analyzed by two aspect ratios, ρα=a1/a3 and ρβ=a1/a2 proposed by Lee and his researchers. Mica and talc were used as disk shape fillers in the composites. The shapes of mica and talc were observed by SEM and aspect ratios were statistically calculated. For the case of mica, the average aspect ratios were ρα=13.5 and ρβ=1.8, and for the case of talc, they were ρα=3.8 and ρβ=1.4. Also, the effects of two aspect ratios and the content of filler on the mechanical properties were studied: For 30 wt% of mica, E11 increased up to about 2.7 times, and for the other case of talc, E11 increased up to about 2.3 times, respectively.

Background: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after liver transplantation (LT) was improved by hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and nucles(t)ide analogue (NUA). However, HBV recurrence after LT is critical because the recurrence is occasionally accompanied by a progressive destruction of graft and poor survival. The aims of this study were to investigate the significance HBV recurrence and identity factors associated with HBV recurrence. Methods: From October 1999 to February 2011, a total of 2684 consecutive LT recipients who underwent HBV-associated LT were retrospectively enrolled from 7 transplantation centers in Korea. Results: Prophylaxis regimens were HBIG monotherapy (67.7%) or a combination of HBIG with NUA (22.3%). The recurrence rate of HBV was 6.1% (164 recipients) during mean follow-up duration of 10.9 years. The median time from transplantation to recurrence was 2.1 years (0.1-7.9 years). Of the 1,071 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prior to LT, 155 patients (14.5%) had HCC recurrence after transplantation, and 48 patients (31.0%) had HBV recurrence. Of the 48 patients with recurrence of both HBV and HCC, 25 patients (52.1%) experienced HBV recurrence after HCC recurrence. In the multivariate analysis, pretransplant HCC, pretransplant HBV DNA above 5.5 log copies/mL was independent clinical factors influencing HBV recurrence after LT. The mortality rate among the recipients with HBV recurrence was 34.1% (56 recipients). Mean overall survival was 6.4 years in the HBV-recurrence group and 9.9 years in the HBV-nonrecurrence group (p<0.001). HBV recurrence was not an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. HCC recurrence was the most important factor for overall survival. Conclusions: The overall outcome of LT in HBV-related liver disease was excellent with the current prophylaxis regimen Choon Hyuck David Kwon,8 Suk-Koo Lee8 Pretransplant HBV DNA and HCC were important factors for HBV recurrence. HBV recurrence after LT did not significantly influence on the overall survival without combining of HCC recurrence.

Effects of aroclor 1254 on the expression of the KAP3 gene and reproductive function in rats

Lee, Chae Kwan,Kang, Han Seung,Kim, Ju Ran,Lee, Byung Ju,Lee, Jong Tae,Kim, Jeong Ho,Kim, Dae Hwan,Lee, Chang Hee,Ahn, Jin Hong,Lee, Chae Un,Yu, Seong Jin,Kang, Sung Goo CSIRO Publishing 2007 Reproduction, fertility, and development Vol.19 No.4

<P> The present study investigated the effects of aroclor 1254 (A1254) on the expression of the kinesin superfamily associated protein 3 (KAP3) gene in F1 rat brain during brain sexual differentiation and puberty. In addition, the effects of A1254 on reproductive function were examined. The KAP3 gene is involved in the neurogenesis and synaptogenesis of sexual differentiation in rats and also during puberty. In the present study, pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats each received a daily dose of A1254 (0, 10, 50 mg kg-1) dissolved in 1.0 mL corn oil by gavage, from gestational Day (GD) 8 to postnatal Day (PD) 21. The mRNA levels of the KAP3 gene in hypothalamic tissues were analysed by northern blot hybridisation during the critical periods of brain sexual differentiation (GD18 and PD5) and puberty (PD28). Variables affecting reproduction in F1 female rats, such as vaginal opening (VO), vaginal oestrus (VE) and oestrous cyclicity, were recorded. Depending on the sex and A1254 exposure (control or 50 mg kg-1 day-1), F1 rats were divided into three mating groups, namely control male-control female, control male-A1254-treated female and A1254-treated male-control female. During the critical periods of brain sexual differentiation (GD18, PD5) and puberty (PD28), KAP3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in A1254-treated fetal and pubertal rat brains relative to those of control groups. In A1254-treated F1 female rats, VO and VE were delayed, the percentage of irregular oestrous cycles was increased and the duration of the oestrous cycle was extended in a dose-dependent manner compared with control groups. Treatment with a high dose of A1254 significantly impaired the reproductive function of both male and female F1 rats, including mating and pregnancy indices and the number of live fetuses. These data suggest that A1254 disrupts transcriptional regulation of the KAP3 gene in fetal and pubertal rat brains and that these effects may be related to A1254-induced abnormal brain sexual differentiation and lowered reproductive function in F1 rats. </P>

In vitro development and cell allocation of porcine blastocysts derived by aggregation of in vitro fertilized embryos

Lee, Sang-Goo,Park, Chi-Hun,Choi, Don-Ho,Kim, Hye-Sun,Ka, Hak-Hyun,Lee, Chang-Kyu JOHN WILEY & SONS LTD 2007 MOLECULAR REPRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT Vol.74 No.11

<P>In pigs, the morphology and cell number of in vitro-produced blastocysts are inferior to those of their in vivo counterparts. The objective of this study was to increase developmental competence and to gain an understanding of cell allocation in blastocysts derived from the aggregation of four-cell stage porcine embryos produced in vitro. After removal of the zona pellucida, two (2×) and three (3×) four-cell stage embryos were aggregated by co-culturing them in aggregation plates. Five days after aggregation, the developmental ability and the number of cells in the aggregated embryos were determined. The percentage of blastocysts was higher (P < 0.05) in both the 2× and 3× aggregated embryos (66.6% and 72.0%, respectively) compared to that of the 1× embryos and the intact controls (43.1% and 36.4%, respectively). The total cell number of blastocysts also increased in aggregated embryos compared to that of intact controls (2.6-fold for 2× and 3.4-fold for 3×) (P < 0.05). The cells of two differentially stained embryos were started to mix at 72 hr after aggregation. In vitro-fertilized porcine aggregates (2×) were developed to blastocyst with a random distribution of cells from each embryo. The mRNA levels for the oct-4, bcl-xL and connexin 43 genes were higher (P < 0.05) and bak gene were lower (P < 0.05) in both the 2× and 3× aggregated embryos than the intact controls. Therefore, the aggregation of the four-cell stage embryos could be used to improve the quality of porcine preimplantation stage embryos produced in vitro. Mol. Reprod.

Primary biliary cirrhosis, similar to that in human beings, in a male C57BL/6 mouse infected with Helicobacter Pylori

Goo, Moon-Jung,Ki, Mi-Ran,Lee, Hye-Rim,Hong, Il-Hwa,Park, Jin-Kyu,Yang, Hai-Jie,Yuan, Dong-Wei,Hwang, Ok-Kyung,Do, Sun-Hee,Yoo, Sung-Eun,Jeong, Kyu-Shik Lippincott Williams Wilkins, Inc. 2008 European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology Vol.20 No.10

We report a case of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) that occurred in a 24-month-old male C57BL/6 mouse infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Microscopically, the portal tract in the liver showed nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis with variable cytologic distortion of the epithelial cells and peribiliary lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. Immunohistochemistry using α-smooth muscle actin demonstrated fibrous bands associating with the wall of vasculature. The level of serum antivacuolating toxin IgG in this mouse showed the highest value (optical density=2.1470) of the H. pylori-infected group (n=13) (optical density=1.7168±0.1759, mean±SD). Spontaneously developed PBC-like lesions in C57BL/6 mice have been reported by several authors. However, this case strikingly resembles human PBC with its characterized histological features. Therefore, we propose that the increase in vacuolating toxin caused by H. pylori infection may be related to the development of PBC by molecular mimicry.

Utilization of the Bombyx mori Hypothetical Protein 32 Promoter for Efficient Transgene Expression

Goo, Tae-Won,Kim, Sung-Wan,Kim, Seong-Ryul,Park, Seung-Won,Kang, Seok-Woo,Lee, Kwang-Gill,Kwon, O-Yu,Yun, Eun-Young Korean Society of Sericultural Science 2010 International Journal of Industrial Entomology Vol.20 No.2

For stable germline transformation, the promoter of Bombyx mori cytoplasmic actin gene (BmA3) has been used for ubiquitous expression of transgenes. So far, no strong promoter is available for ubiquitous expression in B. mori, excluding BmA3 promoter. To identify more powerful promoter than previously reported BmA3 promoter, we isolated 9 clones that show stronger signal compared to BmA3 by a dot blot hybridization. Among these 9 clones, we focused on one clone which has high amino acid homology (85%) with hypothetical protein 32 gene of Lonomia obliqua. This clone, named bHp32 (B. mori hypothetical protein 32) was ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and developmental stage of fifth instar B. mori larvae. As result of promoter assay using dual luciferase assay system, we found the highest transcription activity region (-1,200/+220) in the 5'-flanking region of bHp32 gene, which has 42-fold more intensive promoter activity than BmA3 promoter. Moreover, the bHp32 promoter was normally regulated in Bm5, Sf9, and S2 cells. Therefore, we suggest that bHp32 promoter may be used more powerful and effectively for transgene expression in various insects containing B. mori as a universal promoter.

Nanophotonics of Hexagonal Lattice GaN Crystals Fabricated using an Electron Beam Nanolithography Process

Lee, In-Goo,Kim, Keun-Joo,Jeon, Sang-Cheol,Kim, Jin-Soo,Lee, Hee-Mok Korean Society for Precision Engineering 2006 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.7 No.4

A thin GaN semiconducting film that grows on sapphires due to metalorganic chemical vapor deposition was machined for nanophotonic applications. The thin film had multilayered superlattice structures, including nanoscaled InGaN layers. Eight alternating InGaN/GaN multilayers provided a blue light emission source. Nanoscaled holes, 150 nm in diameter, were patterned on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) film using an electron beam lithography system. The PMMA film blocked the etching species. Air holes, 75 nm in diameter, which acted as blue light diffraction sources, were etched on the top GaN layer by an inductively coupled plasma etcher. Hexagonal lattice photonic crystals were fabricated with 230-, 460-, 690-, and 920-nm pitches. The 450-nm wavelength blue light provided the nanodiffraction destructive and constructive interferences phenomena, which were dependent on the pitch of the holes.

Lee, Min-Goo,Park, Sae-Wook,Lee, Sun-Woo,Son, Ji-Woo,Kang, Baek-Gyu,Park, Sang-Moo,Lee, In,Moon, Byung-Soon The Physiological Society of Korean Medicine and T 2006 동의생리병리학회지 Vol.20 No.4

The Korean genuine medicine, 'Gigukjihwangtanggami (GJT)' has long been used clinically for hypertension and various cerebrovascular diseases. However, experimental study has been carried out very little. Recently cytokines involved in the regulation of inflammatory reactions and immune responses may play an important role in the pathogenesis of cerebral infarction (CI). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GJT on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCS) stimulated with lipopolysaccaride (LPS) from Cl patients. The amount of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha}),\;interleukin-1{\beta}\;(IL-1{\beta})$, IL-6, IL-8, IL-4 and IL-10 in PBMC culture supernatant was significantly increased in the LPS treated cells compared to unstimulated cells. GJT inhibited the production of $TNF-{\alpha},\;IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and IL-8 induced by LPS. The maximal inhibition rate of the $TNF-{\alpha},\;IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and IL-8 production by pretreatment of GJT (1 mg/ml) was $57.32{\pm}2.5%$ (p.0.05), $42.02{\pm}3.5%$ (p.0.05), $40.02{\pm}2.3%$ (p.0.05) and $48.02{\pm}3.1$, (p.0.05), respectively. In the Other hand, GJT increased the production of IL-4 and IL-10. The maximal increase rate of the IL-4 and IL-10 production by pretreatment of GJT (1 mg/ml) was $42.4{\pm}3.3%$ (p.0.05) End $56.4{\pm}2.9%$ (p.0.05), respectively. Taken together, these results indicate that GJT Ray have regulatory effects on the cytokine production and suggest that GJT might use clinically for the treatment of CI.
