Objective : Yukgunja-tang is one of the herbal prescriptions widely used for functional indigestion. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological effect through the Yukgunja-tang formulation development. Methods : The RAW 264.7 cells were pretreated with Yukgunja-tang tablet (YGJT-T : 50, 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖) and then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS : 500 ng/㎖). Cell viability, inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) were measured. Also, ICR mice induced acute gastritis by oral administration of 150 mM HCl in 60% ethanol. The YGJT-T (30 mg/kg) was pretreated for 3 days, and 150 mM HCl in 60% ethanol was orally administered 1 hour after the last drug treatment. Mice were sacrificed 1 hour after oral administration of 150 mM HCl in 60% ethanol. The gastric mucosa was observed, and inflammatory cytokines in the gastric tissue were measured. Results : The marker components of YGJT-T were determined by simultaneous analysis using HPLC. In RAW 264.7 cells, pretreatment of YGJT-T was non-toxic and inhibited the production of inflammatory mediators such as NO and PGE2 and suppressed inflammatory cytokines. In addition, pretreatment of YGJT-T improved bleeding and edema due to gastric lesions caused by acute gastritis and suppressed inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion : In summary, our results confirmed that treatment with YGJT-T has anti-inflammatory and anti-gastritis effects in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, in this study, YGJT-T could support a potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of gastritis.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess public awareness and policy challenges faced by practicing nurses. Methods: After collecting nurse-related news articles published before and after 'the Thanks to You Challenge' campaign (between December 31, 2019, and July 15, 2020), keywords were extracted via preprocessing. A three-step method keyword analysis, latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling, and keyword network analysis was used to examine the text and the structure of the selected news articles. Results: Top 30 keywords with similar occurrences were collected before and after the campaign. The five dominant topics before the campaign were: pandemic, infection of medical staff, local transmission, medical resources, and return of overseas Koreans. After the campaign, the topics 'infection of medical staff' and 'return of overseas Koreans' disappeared, but 'the Thanks to You Challenge' emerged as a dominant topic. A keyword network analysis revealed that the word of nurse was linked with keywords like thanks and campaign, through the word of sacrifice. These words formed interrelated domains of 'the Thanks to You Challenge' topic. Conclusion: The findings of this study can provide useful information for understanding various issues and social perspectives on COVID-19 nursing. The major themes of news reports lagged behind the real problems faced by nurses in COVID-19 crisis. While the press tends to focus on heroism and whole society, issues and policies mutually beneficial to public and nursing need to be further explored and enhanced by nurses.

Sogunjung-tang (SGJT) is traditional herbal prescriptions used to treat abdominal pain. In this study, we evaluated the effect on inflammation and gastritis through SGJT formulation development. SGJT composition herbal medicine was boiled in water at 95~100℃ for 3 hours and then concentrated. Sogunjung-tang mix soft extract (STM) was prepared using pharmaceutical excipients such as purified water, sodium benzoate, β-cyclodextrin and CMC-Na. Anti-inflammatory experiment was conducted using STM and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW 264.7 cells. Cell survival was measured by MTT method. Nitric oxide (NO) was measured using griess reagents, and pro inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and RT-PCR. Also, we verified STM validity in acute gastritis using the ICR mouse. STM was administered oral for three days. And 150 mM HCl in 60% ethanol was oral administered 0.5 mL one hour after the last drug administration. Mice were sacrificed 1 hour after 150 mM HCl in 60% ethanol administration. The gastric mucosa was visually observed. STM were not toxic in RAW 264.7 cells. Treatment of STM inhibited the production of NO and inflammatory cytokine at the protein and mRNA levels. Also, in the acute gastritis model with the mouse, the treatment of STM improved gastric mucosal bleeding and edema. In summary, it was confirmed that the treatment of STM exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-gastritis effects. Therefore, we suggest that STM may provide a preclinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and gastritis diseases.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors in staphylococci isolated from canine otitis externa. A total 295 causative microorganisms were isolated. The most common isolated species were Staphylococcus (S) pseudintermedius (94 isolates) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (60 isolates), S. schleiferi (25 isolates), Escherichia coli (23 isolates) and Proteus mirabilis (20 isolates). Staphylococci isolates were showed high resistance to penicillin (78.6%), erythromycin (55.9%), tetracycline (52.4%), clindamycin (51.7%) and ciprofloxacin (42.8%). Of the 145 staphylococci isolates, 49 (33.8%) methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) were observed, distributed among S. pseudintermedius (n=34), S. schleiferi (n=6), S. epidermis (n=4), S. hominis (n=2), S. aureus, S. caprae and S. saprophyticus (n=1, respectively). Forty-three (87.8%) of 49 MRS and 10 (10.4%) of 96 methicillin-susceptibility staphylococci harbored mecA gene. About 80% of MRS were multidrug-resistant with resistance to at least one antibiotic in three or more antibiotic classes. Resistance genes blaZ (93/114, 81.5%), ermB (35/81, 43.2%), ermC (3/81, 3.7%), aacA-aphD (50/54, 92.5%), tetM (69/76, 90.7%) and tetK (6/76, 7.8%) were detected among resistant isolates. Virulence factors genes lukF and lukS were found in 100%(145/145) and 43.4%(63/145), respectively. Genes encoding ermA, eta, etb and tsst were not detected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which investigated for the presence of genes encoding antimicrobial resistance and staphylococcal toxins in staphylococci isolated from canine otitis externa. A continuous monitoring and surveillance program to prevent antimicrobial resistance in companion animals is demanded.

The author examined the origins, the course and the period of introduction of 94 types of vegetables and fruits mainly used in Korea. Then, based on it, the author looks into the relationship between food culture in Korea and those in the Silk Road. Among the vegetables and fruits, 57 types are not originated from Korea 17 types of stem and leaf vegetables, 9 types of root and fruit vegetables. 7 types of fruits, 6 types of seed, 6 types of pomes, 2 types of berries and grapes, and 1 type of nut. Their origins are spread in Europe, Southwest and South Asia but interestingly, they are located near or along the Silk Road. Therefore, it can be presumed that the vegetables and fruits were introduced into Korea from its neighboring countries by way of the Silk Road even before the Three Koreas Period and they were eaten widely in the Joseon Dynasty. Thus, the Silk Road helped some of the vegetables and fruits used in Korea to be introduced into Korea and eventually, contributed to diversifying Korean food culture. The cultural exchange is not one-way but two-way communication and the cultural exchange through the Silk Road is no exception. It is certain that by way of the Silk Road, foods and recipes were introduced into Korea from other countries but at the same time, Korean foods and recipes were propagated to other countries. In the future, more researches and studies should be conducted to find out how the foods and recipes are exchanged among the countries by the way of the Silk Road.

표고버섯으로부터 유래한 eritadenine (EA)은 혈중 low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), phospholipid를 감소시키는 물질이다. 최근 저희 연구팀은 in vitro 연구에서 EA가 angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)의 활성을 저해함을 밝혔다. 본 연구에서는 EA와 EA 함유한 표고버섯균사체 고체배양 효소추출물(EA-LEMCEE)이 본태성 고혈압 쥐 SHR의 혈압을 낮추었음을 보고한다. EA 및 EA-LEMSCEE는 인체 탯줄 혈관내피세포 EA.hy926 세포의 ACE 활성을 억제하였다. EA-LEMSCEE는 SHR의 수축기 및 이완기 혈압을 Control 처리구에 비해 유의성 있게 낮추어 처리 5주에는 Positive control인 captopril (CP) 처리와 비슷한 혈압감소 효과를 나타내었다. EA-LEMCE는 LEMSCEE에 비해 수축기 및 이완기 혈압을 감소시켰지만 유의성은 없었다. EA- LEMSCEE는 renin과 ACE 활성을 Control 처리에 비해 유의성 있게 억제하였고, angiotensin II (Ang II) 함량을 감소시켜, 처리 5주 후에 이러한 CP의 효과와 유사하였다. 또한 EA-LEMCEE는 LEMCEE에 비해 유의성 있게 renin 및 ACE 활성을 억제하였고 및 Ang II 함량을 감소시켰다. 이와 같은 결과는 EA 및 EA-LEMCEE는 본태성 고혈압 SHR의 renin과 ACE 활성을 억제하여 혈압을 낮추었고, EA 및 EA-LEMSCEE는 인체 고혈압을 낮출 수 있음을 의미한다.
