다양하고 복잡한 기전에 의하여 정교히 조절되고 있는 면역 체계의 비정상적인 기능에 비롯된 자가 면역 질환을 개선, 치료하기 위하여 지금까지 많은 면역 조절제가 개발되어 온 바 있으며, 이들의 면역 조절 기전은 약물에 따라 그 효능에 있어 차이가 크고 독성등의 부작용등으로 인해 그 사용이 현저히 제한되고있는 경우가 많아 보다 안전하고 효능있는 새로운 면역 조절제의 개발은 아직도 매우 중요한 의의를 지니고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구실에서는 천연물로부터의 새로운 면역 조절제의 검색을 수행하여 온 바 있으며, 그중 Brazilin이 Low-dose Streptozotocin의 반복 투여에 의해 유도되는 당뇨병 상태의 면역 조절 기능에 미치는 영향에 대해서 검색하고자 하였다. 실험의 결과를 종합하여보면, Brazilin은 외부항원 (SRBC)의 유입시 정상 대조군에 비해 현저히 저하되어 있는 T cell의 기능을 정상 대조군 혹은 그 이상으로 증가시키는 효과를 나타내었으며, B cell의 기능 역시 활성화 시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이로부터 Brazilin은 Streptozotocin 유도 당뇨병 상태의 면역기능을 정상화시키는 면역 조절활성을 갖는 것으로 판단되었다.

To assess the immunological function of toluene exposed group, the proportions of T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, CD4 cell, CD8 cell, the ratio of CD4 to CD8(CD4/CD8) in peripheral blood were measured on twenty-one toluene exposed workers and twelve healthy workers who did not have previous history of toluene exposure. In addition, to evaluate the present status of toluene exposure, urinary hippuric acid concenturations were measured in exposed group. The mean concenturation of urinary hippuric acid was 2.84 g/creatinine g in exposed group. The proportions of T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, CD8 cell and CD4/CD8 of exposed group were slightly lower than non-exposed group except the proportion of CD4 cell which was similar in both groups. But these differences were not statistically different in both groups. The proportions of T lymphocyte and CD4 cell were significantly correlated with the length of duration in exposed group(P<0.05).

A nature immunity system responds sensitively to an external invasion with various functions in a lot of bodies, besides it there is a function to remember information to have been currently infected. we propose a hybrid model similar to immune system which combine with the antibody which applied genetic algorithm as select antibody and the arbitrary abnormal system call sequence that applied negative selection of a nature immunity system. A proposed model uses an arbitrary abnormal system Kol sequence in order to reduce a positive defect and a negative defect. Data used to experiment are send mail data processed UNM (University of New Maxico). The negative defect that an experiment results proposal model judged system call more abnormal than the existing negative selection to normal system call appeared 0.55% low.

Abnormal spinal disease and function, in addition to simple musculoskeletal problems, can disrupt homeostasis and cause direct and indirect physiological side effects. Part or all of the immune function can be compromised, exposing you to more disease, especially if the nerves running through your spine do not deliver the proper signals to the organs that regulate your immune system. This study focuses on basic anatomic and physiological knowledge and seeks to consider potential mechanisms by which spinal function may potentially help maintain or improve immune function. To this end, we examine the roles of the spine in relation to hematopoiesis, stress, respiration, spine-nerve relationships, and the immune system, and confirm that these roles may influence immune function.

거대세포바이러스(cytomegalovirus, CMV)는 헤르페스바이러스에 속하는 바이러스이다. 대부분의 성인이 CMV를 보유하고 있으나, 면역 기능이 정상인 사람에서는 CMV로 인한 질병이 발생하지 않는다. 하지만 에이즈 환자, 장기이식환자, 골수이식환자 등과 같이 면역 기능이 저하된 환자에서는 CMV에 의한 폐렴, 망막염, 장염 등의 질병이 발생할 수 있다.

Lipid soluble ginseng extract was administered by oral route in doses of 600 mg/patient daily in cancer patients over 2 months and 6 months. The administration of ginseng extract in cancer patients maintained the ratio of CD4/CD8 and number of the natural killer cell in the normal range during the administration period. Also its administration showed a positive effect on tumor values in 87.5% of patients in 2 month-group and in 50% of patients in 6 month-group, as determined by various cancer markers. Liver and kidney functions maintained normal condition during administration period of 6 months. Although there was no statistical significance, these data suggest that lipid soluble ginseng extract may be useful as an adjuvant therapeutic agent and nutritional supplement for the improvement of immune function and health in cancer patients. This study would provide the basis for the research in which the antitumor and immunopotential activity of lipid soluble ginseng extract for cancer patients are evaluated in formal clinical trial with statistically significant patient number.

The present experiments were designed to study the influence of WalgookwhanhabBojoongikgitang on immune functions of Balb/c mice under stress condition. WalgookwhanhabBojoongikgitang was orally administered to the mice for 15 days. On the 10th day the mice were immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and then subjected to electric footshock for 5 days (2 sessions a day, 11 footshocks a 31 min-session). The immune responses to SRBC were determined by means of hemagglutination and BIT cell populations in the spleen were studied by FACS analysis on the 16th day. The results were as follows. 1. After electric footshock, IDlce became sluggish and crowded to one side of the cage. Increased antibody titer for SRBC, increased B cell population, and decreased T cell population in the spleen were also observed. These results confirm that electric footshock caused stress inducing immunological and behavioral changes in Balblc mice. 2. Walgookwhanhab-Bojoongikgitang administration significantly antagonized the effect of electric footshock on the antibody titer for SRBC. As a result, antibody titers for SRBC in the mice treated with Walgookwhanga-Bojoongikgitang were maintained at the similar levels as those of control group mice even after the electric foots hock. 3. Walgookwhanhab-Bojoongikgitang administration also antagonized the effect of electric footshock on the BIT populations in spleen. As a result, Band T populations in the mice treated with Walgookwhanhab-Bojoongikgitang were maintained at the similar levels as in the control group mice even after the electric footshock. Taken together, Walgookwhanhab-Bojoongikgitang seem to help Balb/c mIce to maintain their humoral immune response and immune cell populations at a normal range under the stress conditions, suggesting its possible therapeutic use as a immune function modulator.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of aerobic exercise on immune function, physical fitness and fat mass in middle-aged women. Twenty subjects were divided into two groups : experimental group(N:10) and control group(N:10). Experimental subjects were under the exercise conditions to perform the aerobic exercise using the movement of dance-sports with intensity of 60~80% HRmax for 60 min/day, 3 times/week during 12 weeks. After the aerobic exercise, the numbers of neutrophil, Iymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil, 73, 74 and B4 were significantly different. Crip-strength and sit-up ability significantly improved and all so weight and fat mass decreased on experimental group. Therefore, the aerobic exercise using the movement of dance-sports applying to middle-aged women would contribute them healthy life and prevention of chronic disease.

Propyl gallate used as an antioxidant was examined for its effects on murine immune system. As immunotoxicology assay parameters, we adopted circulating leukocytes and immunoorgan weights for pathotoxicology, delayed hypersensitivity and colloidal carbon clearance for cell mediated immuntity. Propyl gallate's effects were observed as follows; 1) Propyl gallate decreased circulating leukocyte counts, dose dependently. 2) Propyl gallate decreased delayed hypersensitivity reaction. 3) Phagocytic index were similar in the test and control groups.
