This study was performed to investigate the toxicity of ochratoxin A (OA) to the chromosomes of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line in vitro. The results of this experiment were as follows: 1) Chromosomes of $K_{562}$tumor cell-line resulted in pseudotriploidy on the control group. Chromosomes of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA resulted in heteroploidy compared with the control group. The mean number of chromosomes in the karyotype of the control group (60) were 7 in the A group, 5 in the B group, 20 in the C+X group, 7 in the D group, 9 in the E group, 6 in the F group, and 6 in the G+Y group respectively. The number of chromosomes were increased as follows: Treating with $0.7{\mu}M$ OA, the number of chromosomes were increased one in E and F group, two in G+Y group compared with control group. In treated with $1.5{\mu}M$ OA, the increasing number of chromosome was one in E and F group. In treated with $3{\mu}M$ OA, E and F group was increased one and G+Y group were increased two chromosomes compared with control group. But in treated with $6{\mu}M$ OA, the number of chromosome in G+Y group was decreased one. 2) $K_{562}$ tumor cell line treated with OA showed Philadelphia-Chromosome in the long arm of the G group karyotype chromosome. The rate of chromosome aberration in $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA was 77% in $0.7{\mu}M$ OA group, 71% in $1.5{\mu}M$ OA group, 82% in $3{\mu}M$ OA group and 94% in $6{\mu}M$ OA group respectively. The rate of chromosome aberration of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA was high in the high dose level of OA, and chromosome aberration of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line treated with OA showed deletion, minute, dicentric-chromosome and translocation in the long arm of the C-group karyotype. As a result of this study, the toxicity of OA showed deletion, minute, dicentric-chromosome and translocation in the long arm of the C-group karyotype, and then, the toxicity of OA resulted in the damage to RNA and protein synthesis in $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line, and the C-group karyotype of $K_{562}$ tumor cell-line was target of the toxicity of OA.

Oleanolic acid (OA) has neurotrophic effects on neurons, although its use as a neurological drug requires further research. In the present study, we investigated the effects of OA and OA derivatives on the neuronal differentiation of rat hippocampal neural progenitor cells. In addition, we investigated whether the class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) 5 mediates the gene expression induced by OA. We found that OA and OA derivatives induced the formation of neurite spines and the expression of synapse-related molecules. OA and OA derivatives stimulated HDAC5 phosphorylation, and concurrently the nuclear export of HDCA5 and the expression of HDAC5 target genes, indicating that OA and OA derivatives induce neural differentiation and synapse formation via a pathway that involves HDAC5 phosphorylation.

다양한 기능성 작용이 있는 물질로 알려진 OA에 대하여, 발효 과정에서 유산균에 의해 발생되는 손실을 줄이기 위한 방법을 찾고자 본 실험을 실시했다. 원유와 10% 환원유를 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 열처리를 한 결과, OA의 감소율은 각자 17.6%, 22.4%, 정도로서 비교적 열에는 안정한 것으로 나타났다 발효 과정 중 유산균에 의한 OA의 변화를 측정한 결과 L. helveticus 166과 L. casei 955는 균수가 최고점에 도달하는 발효 24시간까지 OA의 감소는 미미하였으나 24시간 이후부터 72시간까지 각각 43.2%, 76%까지 OA가 급격히 감소하였고, S. thermophilus ST-37은 발효 72시간까지 OA의 감소가 미미하거나 오히려 생성하는 것으로 나타나 유산균의 종류에 따라 OA의 변화가 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 냉장 저장 중 OA함량은 유산균의 종류에 관계없이 변화가 없었다.

Ursolic acid (UA)와 oleanolic acid (OA)들의 메티실린 저항성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에 대한 항균 활성에는 상반된 의견들이 있다. 본 연구는 한국인으로부터 분리된 19개의 MRSA에 대한 UA와 OA의 항균 활성을 최소성장억제농도 및 최소살균농도를 측정하여 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 메티실린 감수성 균주인 S. aureus KCTC $1621^T$가 MRSA 균주들보다 UA와 OA에 대한 저항성이 컸다. UA와 OA 각각의 MRSA 19 균주에 대한 최소살균농도는 4-32 ${\mu}g/ml$와 16->256 ${\mu}g/ml$로 넓은 범위를 보였다. UA와 OA에 대한 균주에 따른 항균 작용의 차이는 UA와 OA의 항균 기전이 밝혀져 있지 않기 때문에 이해하기 힘들다. 이러한 결과들은 MRSA에 대한 UA와 OA의 항균 효과는 균주들 간의 UA와 OA에 대한 저항 능력에 의한 것임을 시사한다.

Objectives: This study was done to determine the prevalence of radiographic ankle osteoarthritis (OA) in Korean women with clinical primary ankle OA. Methods: This analysis involved 160 Korean women who visited our out patient clinic due to ankle joint pain. Ankle AP and lateral weight-bearing radiographs were evaluated retrospectively to check whether they have radiographic OA or not. Radiographs were read for features of ankle OA using School classification. Demographic factors and radiographic findings in both radiographic ankle OA group and non-radiographic ankle OA group were analyzed by the student t-test, the chi square test and the Pearson's analysis. A p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of radiographic ankle OA in Korean women is 18.2 % in patient between 18 and 39 years and is 55.6 % in patient over 40. There was significant difference between two groups with age (P<0.001) and relatively strong correlation between radiographic OA and age (r=0.474, P<0.001). Conclusion: These results show that the prevalence of Korean women with radiographic changes of ankle OA was 45 % and there was relatively strong correlation between age and radiographic ankle OA.

We report results of selection-bias-free approaches to the analysis of the impact of open access (OA) models on citation metrics. We studied reference groups of Gold and Green OA articles and the group of non-OA (Paywall) articles with the new functionality of the Web of Science Core Collection database, the InCites platform of Clarivate Analytics, and the Dimensions database of Digital Science. For each reference group we obtained the values of the percent of cited articles and citation impact and their dependence on the depth of the citation period. Different research fields were analyzed in two schemas of the InCites platform. We report the higher values and growth rates of the citation metrics: citation impact and %Cited, in the OA reference groups over the Paywall group. The Green OA articles demonstrate the highest values of citation metrics among all the OA models. Dependence of the value of citation impact on citation period follows linear law with R2 values close to 0.9-1.0. The overall annual growth rates of citation impact of the Green OA, Gold OA, and the Paywall articles, k equal, respectively, 3.6, 2.4, and 1.4 in Dimensions and 4.6, 3.6, and 2.3 in the Web of Science Core Collection. We suppose that earlier results reported for the articles in pure OA journals vs. articles in Paywall journals were affected by the high citation impact of the Green and Hybrid OA articles that could not be elucidated in the Paywall journals at that time.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related joint disease characterized by degradation of articular cartilage and its association with chronic pain. Purified Bee venom (PBV) has been traditionally used to the treatment for inflammatory diseases. The purpose of the current study is to examine whether PBV regulates the pro-inflammation against a mouse model of knee OA induced by papain. We studied the effect of PBV on papain-induced OA in the knee joints of mice. Mice were split into following groups: normal control, papain induced OA, OA treated with PBV, OA treated with meloxicam as positive control. Proteoglycan deposition was analyzed by safranin O-fast green staining and H&E staining. Papain injection significantly degraded the proteoglycan in OA mice at 42 days. Cartilage proteoglycan density was significantly higher in PBV treated OA group than those of the positive control groups. These results demonstrate that PBV efficiently suppresses pathological processes in an OA model. Thus, PBV could be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of OA.

Oleanolic acid (OA), a triterpenoid known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, is commonly present in several medicinal plants but its anticoagulant activities have not been studied. Here, the anticoagulant properties of OA were determined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrin polymerization as well as cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa) generation activities. Data showed OA prolonged aPTT and PT significantly and inhibited thrombin catalyzed fibrin polymerization. In addition, OA inhibited the activities of thrombin and FXa and inhibited the generation of thrombin or FXa in human endothelial cells. OA also inhibited TNF-${\alpha}$-induced tissue factor expression on human endothelial cells. In accordance with these anticoagulant activities, OA showed an anticoagulant effect in vivo. These results indicate that OA possesses antithrombotic activities and suggest that daily consumption of a herb containing OA may be preventing thrombosis in pathological states.

난백에 NaOH, 열, 및 효소를 처리하였을 때, 난백 중의 ovomucoid(OM) 및 ovalbumin(OA)의 항원성 변화를 항OM 및 항OA 항체를 이용하여 간접경합 ELISA로 조사하였다. 효소처리는 OM의 항원성을 효과적으로 감소시키지 못한 반면 OA의 항원성은 식물성, 미생물성 protease를 사용하였을 때 약 1/5,000-1/100,000로 감소되었다. 열처리를 한 난백 중 OM은 $100^{\circ}C$까지 거의 변화하지 않으나 $121^{\circ}C$ 처리에서는 난백의 항원성이 OM은 1/250으로 감소되었다. OA의 항원성은 열처리에 의해 오히려 증가되었으며 최고 100배까지 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. NaOH를 농도별로 처리한 난백 중 OM의 항원성 변화는 0.3%부터 감소하기 시작하여 1%이상에서 항원성이 거의 제거되었다. 반면 OA의 경우는 모든 NaOH 처리농도에서 항원성이 증가하였다. NaOH 처리에 추가적인 열처리($70^{\circ}C$, 15분)를 실시한 것은 난백중 OM과 OA의 항원성 감소에 다소 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

A study of temperature profiles in mixing zone of AHU (air handling unit) can contribute greatly to enhance performance of AHU system, so the study on the temperature distribution between RA (return air) and OA (outdoor air) is important to analyze the mixing characteristics in a mixing zone of AHU. Accordingly, the temperature profiles during RA (return air) and OA (outdoor air) supply process into mixing zone of AHU with an air mixer are studied experimentally. The effect of air mixer, OA temperature and RA/OA flow rate are studied in detail. In this study, the results show that the mixing efficiency is all high for installed the air mixer. The more OA temperature increase and OA flow rate decrease, the more mixing efficiency is high.
