Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of chemical composition or biological activities between decoction and commercial herbal medicines of Samchulkunbi-tang (Shenzhujianpi-tang, SKT). Methods : The extracts of SKT from decoction (SKT1) and two different commercial extractive granules (SKT2 and SKT3) were prepared. The index components of SKTs were analyzed with HPLC. The antioxidant activities of SKTs were studied by measuring free radical scavenging activities on ABTS and DPPH. The anti-inflammatory effects were determined by measuring NO, $PGE_2$ and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Results : The contents of 7 components were 1.40-6.08 mg/g in SKT1, not detected-4.75 mg/g in SKT2, 0.03-1.46 mg/g in SKT3. The scavenging activities on ABTS and DPPH of herbal formulas were increased in dose-dependent manner (SKT1>SKT2>SKT3). SKT1 significantly inhibited $PGE_2$ and IL-6 production and SKT3 slightly inhibited $PGE_2$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. SKT2 showed no inhibitory effects on production of inflammatory mediators such as $PGE_2$ and IL-6. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that the decoction of SKT has more strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects than that of commercial herbal medicines consistent with the contents of index components.

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitations associated with chronic inflammatory response due to noxious particles or gases in the lung. Increasing oxidative stress associated with COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influencing factors of biomarkers for oxidative stress in retired miners with COPD. Methods: The levels of total peroxide(TPx), total antioxidant capacity(TAC), and oxidative stress index(TPx/TAC ratio, OSI) in plasma as biomarkers for oxidative stress, serum C-reactive protein(CRP) as a biomarker for inflammation, and general characteristics were measured in 93 male subjects with COPD. COPD was defined as post bronchodilator FEV₁/FVC<0.7 by spirometry. Results: Mean levels of TPx(p=0.013), TAC(p=0.010), OSI(p=0.040), and CRP(p=0.024) were higher in current smokers. Levels of TPx(β=0.445, p<0.001), TAC(β=0.490, p<0.001), and OSI(β=0.351, p<0.001) were related to CRP levels, and CRP levels were related to %FEV₁ predicted(β=-0.295, p=0.003) and current smoking(β=0.214, p=0.032). Conclusions: These results suggest that oxidative stress was related to inflammation, and inflammation were related to decreasing %FEV₁ predicted and current smoking in retired miners with COPD.

This study investigated the effects of vitamin C on oxidative stress induced by volatile anesthetics in pigs. One group of pigs was used as an anesthesia control group (group 1), and they were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen and saline (0.9% NaCl) was injected intravenously. The other group (group 2) was anesthetized with isoflurane and injected intravenously with vitamin C. Total oxidant status, total antioxidant status, and the oxidative stress index in group 2 were significantly different compared with those in group 1. The results showed that intravenous administration of vitamin C decreased oxidative stress during isoflurane anesthesia in pigs.

Ellagic acid (EA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound in vegetables, nuts, and fruits such as berries. EA has antioxidant, anticancer, anti-allergy, and anti-inflammatory activities. The objectives of this research were to investigate the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles before and after nano-encapsulation of EA in dairy protein and to develop a functional (anti-inflammatory) dairy protein-based beverage containing EA. A particle size analyzer was used to determine the physicochemical and morphological properties. High performance liquid chromatography was used to evaluate the entrapment efficiency of EA. The nanoparticles containing EA were 100 to 200 nm in diameter. The determined poly dispersity index value of 0.3 to 0.4 indicated that the nanoparticles were uniformly distributed with similar size. Zeta-potential values were also similar between the control groups. The entrapment efficiency of EA was nearly 90%. The results indicate the potential for development of nanoparticles containing EA beverage products with anti-inflammatory activity.

본 연구는 싸리나무 잎에서 분리한 flavonoid 화합물인 eriodictyol의 항산화 활성을 평가하기 위해 hydrogen peroxide로 산화적 스트레스를 유도한 HepG2 세포에서 eriodictyol 화합물의 처리가 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx의 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 또한 간 기능 지표효소인 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성을 분석하였다. 그리고 세포 내 활성산소종 생성 억제 효능을 분석하기 위하여 DCFH-DA assay를 실시하여 eriodictyol 화합물의 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 본 실험을 하였다. Eriodictyol 화합물의 세포독성을 확인하기 위하여 HepG2 세포주를 이용하여 실시한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물을 $10{\sim}50{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 처리한 모든 실험군에서 약 98% 이상의 세포생존율을 나타내었다. 항산화 효소 유전자 발현량을 통한 산화스트레스 억제 효과를 분석하기 위하여 HepG2 세포주에 hydrogen peroxide를 처리하여 산화스트레스가 증가시킨 조건에서 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리하여 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx 발현량을 분석한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물의 처리 농도가 증가할수록 hydrogen peroxide 처리에 의해 감소한 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx 발현량이 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 간 기능 지표효소 활성을 측정하기 위해 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성을 분석한 결과 hydrogen peroxide로 단독 처리한 대조군과 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리한 군을 비교하였을 때 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리한 군에서 hydrogen peroxide 처리에 의해 증가한 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. HepG2 세포주에 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리하여 세포 내 활성산소종 생성에 미치는 영향을 DCFH-DA assay로 확인한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 세포내 활성산소종의 생성을 억제하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 실험을 통하여 eriodictyol 화합물은 산화적 스트레스로부터 항산화 효소 활성을 증가시키며, 활성산소종의 생성을 억제하는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 간 기능 지표효소의 활성을 감소시켜 세포 보호 효과를 나타내어 항산화 활성 및 세포 보호 효과를 나타내는 기능성 소재로써 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단되며, 후속연구를 통해 싸리나무 유래 eriodictyol 화합물의 세포 내 항산화 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향 및 동물실험을 통한 항산화 효과를 검증하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 무순을 발아시기별로 70% 에탄올, 80% 메탄올, 75% 아세톤, 물 등 용매종류에 따라 추출한 후 폴리페놀 함량과 전자 공여능, TBARS, 산화안정도 측정, 과산화물가 등 항산화특성을 확인하는 실험을 하였다. 폴리페놀 함량은 발아 4일째에서 에탄올추출물이 296.51 mg/g으로 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며 다음으로 메탄올추출물이 219.39 mg/g으로 많았다. 발아 8일째에서는 에탄올추출물의 함량이 가장 높았으며 메탄올추출물과 아세톤추출물은 각각 197.72 mg/g, 200.45 mg/g으로 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능 측정에서 발아 4일째에 물추출물이 86.67%로 가장 높은 소거능을 보였으며 아세톤추출물에서 77.23%로 낮은 소거능을 보였다. 발아 8일째 라디칼 소거능은 아세톤추출물이 89.18%로 가장 높았으며 에탄올추출물이 70.14%로 가장 낮은 소거능을 보였다. 또 발아 12일째의 라디칼 소거능은 4일째와 비슷한 양상을 보였다. TBARS를 통한 지질과산화 억제효과 측정에서 발아 4일째 무순추출물의 TBARS값은 70% 에탄올추출물이 71.48%로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 발아 8일째가 되면서 TBARS값이 상승하여 메탄올추출물이 78.99%로 높은 값을 보였고, 아세톤 추출물의 값이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 발아 12일이 되면서 TBARS값은 상대적으로 낮아졌으며, 발아 4일째와 유사한 경향의 값을 나타내었다. Rancimat에 의한 산화안정도 측정에서 발아 4일째의 산화유도기간은 메탄올추출물이 6.07시간으로 가장 높게 나타났고 항산화지표는 1.16의 수준을 보였다. 발아 8일째의 산화유도기간은 발아 4일째 산화유도기간보다 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 메탄올추출물과 에탄올추출물, 아세톤추출물은 비슷한 경향을 보이며 유의차가 없었으나 물추출물의 산화유도기간이 낮게 나타나는 것으로 보였다. 발아 12일이 되면서 전반적인 산화유도기간이 5.25~5.91시간으로 낮게 나타나는 경향을 보였으며 메탄올추출물을 제외한 나머지 추출물은 발아 4일째와 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 항산화지표 또한 1.00~1.13의 수준을 나타냈다. 과산화물가 측정에서 무순추출물의 과산화물가는 저장기간이 길어질수록 유의적으로 증가하였다. 발아 4일째 저장기간 0일에서 각 추출물들이 3.02~4.21 meq/kg oil로 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 저장기간 60일에서 물추출물이 43.83 meq/kg oil과 메탄올추출물에서 45.42 meq/kg oil을 나타내어 두 추출물이 가장 낮은 값을 나타내 황산화 효과가 높았으며 발아 8일째와 발아 12일째의 무순추출물에서도 모두 비슷한 경향을 보이며 저장기간이 늘어날수록 과산화물가도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 무순추출물은 총 페놀 함량이 높고 항산화활성도 높게 나타나 천연항산화제와 같은 식품첨가물 및 식품보존제 등 기능성소재로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To evaluate the seasonal differences of nutrient intake and serum biochemical indices (total cholesterol, HDL-, LDL- cholesterol, TG, MDA : malondialdehyde, TAS : total antioxidant status, folate) in Korean college women with a mean age of 20.15y, this study was conducted twice: once in winter and a second time in summer. Anthropometric assessment was also measured in the two seasons. As a result body fat mass (p<0.05), body fat% (p<0.05), and abdominal fat% (p < 0.01) in the summer were significantly lower than those in winter. Intake of fat (p < 0.05), polyunsaturated fatty acid (p < 0.01), zinc (p < 0.05), and vitamin E (p < 0.05) were at significantly higher levels in the summer period compared with the winter period. In addition, nutrients with an intake level less than 75% RI of KDRIs were folate in winter and calcium, and folate in the summer. Total cholesterol (p < 0.05) and HDL-cholesterol in summer, according to lipid profiles, were significantly lower than those in winter. Although MDA, one of the products of lipid peroxidation, remained unchanged, TAS was significantly higher in summer than in winter. The level of folate in summer showed significantly lower than that in winter. The present study suggests that nutrient intake of college women women differs according to the seasons and anthropometric indices and serum biochemical indexes were associated with seasons. Thus nutritional education programs on the basis of season are needed for college women.

스트레스에 의해서 생체는 에너지 대사를 증가시키며, 에너지 대사의 증가는 높은 반응성의 ROS를 생성한다. ROS는 높은 반응성으로 인해 지질, 단백질 등을 과산화시켜 원래의 활성을 잃게 한다. 이런 ROS에 대해서 높은 소거능을 지닌 vitamin I의 투여는 스트레스로 인한 생체내 산화적 손상을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이런 효능을 확인하기 위하여 실험용 흰 쥐에게 4주간의 noise 및 고정화 스트레스를 가한 결과, 스트레스를 가함으로서 체중증가량을 감소시켰으며, 스트레스 지표 물질인 5-HIAA와 혈청내 유리 지방산의 증가 및 뇌조직의 산화적 손상이 증가되어 정상적으로 스트레스가 가해졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, vitamin E 투여군의 경우 혈청내에서의 vitamin E 농도가 유의적으로 증가하여 정상적인 vitamin E의 투여도 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. Vitamin E의 투여는 스트레스로 인한 체중 증가량의 감소를 억제하였으며, 또한 뇌조직의 단백질 및 지질의 산화적 손상을 억제하는 효능을 보였으며, SOD의 활성 또한 증가시키는 효능을 나타냈다. 따라서, vitamin E 투여는 스트레스로 인하여 발생하는 뇌조직의 산화적 손상을 억제함으로서 스트레스에 대한 방어 효능이 일부 있는 것으로 생각된다.

In order to promote the value of the flowers as new agricultural products, we investigated the biological activities of rape, arrowroot, and rose extracts. Biological activities investigated included antioxidant activity and the effects on 3T3-L1 fibroblast cells. When each flower was extracted with methanol, the antioxidant index and electron donating activity of roses was the highest $(IC_{50}$ of rose extract was $17.6 \mu{g}/m\ell$). When 3T3-L1 fibroblast cells were treated with extracts made with hexane, ethyl acetate, and ether, the rape extracts had a cytotoxic effect on the cells. 12.2% of cells survived when treated with a 3mg/$m\ell$ ether extract while those treated with the same concentration of hexane and ethyl acetate had survival rates of 76.2% and 78.6% respectively. In contrast to rape, the ether extract of arrowroot and rose stimulated the growth of 3T3-L1 cells. The effect of rose extracts was much bigger than those of other extracts. Although every rose extract stimulated the growth of the 3T3-L 1 cells, the ether extract stimulated growth up to 168.6% compared to the control at the concentration of $0.3mg/m\ell$, and 148.3% at the concentration of $1mg/m\ell$. The toxicity on cells treated with $H_2 O_2$ of $450\mu{M}l$was decreased with the addition of rose extract. The survival rate after treatment with rose extract at the concentration of $100\mu{g}/m\ell$ was increased to 71% compared to the 32% survival rate of control. From these results, it can be concluded that the extracts of arrowroot and rose seem to stimulate cells, whereas the extract of rape has a cytotoxic effect. Biological activities of ether extract were the strongest compared to those of other extracts at the tested concentrations.
