The discovery of 2'-spirocyclopropyl-ribocytidine (J. Med. Chem. 2010, 53, 8150-8160) as a potent inhibitor of RNA synthesis by NS5B ($IC_{50}=7.3{\mu}M$), the RNA polymerase encoded by hepatitis C Virus (HCV), has led to the synthesis and biological evaluation of several carbocyclic versions of 2'-spiropropyl-nucleosides. The cyclopentenol intermediate 7 was successfully constructed via ring-closing metathesis (RCM) from divinyl 6. Spirocyclopropanation of enone 8 was effected by using (2-chloroethyl)-dimethylsulfonium iodide and potassium tert-butoxide to form the desired intermediate 9. The synthesized nucleoside analogues 21-24 were assayed for their ability to inhibit HCV RNA replication in a subgenomic replicon Huh7 cell line. Among them, the cytosine nucleoside analogue 22 exhibited significant anti-HCV activity ($EC_{50}= 8.2{\mu}M$).

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of Gamichunggan-tang(Jiaweiqinggan-tang) on 57 patients who have suffered from chronic liver disease. Methods : Gamichunggan-tang(Jiaweiqinggan-tang) was administered to patients for over 2 months continuously. We checked improvement of clinical symptoms, changes of Hepatitis B markers and lymphocyte count. Results : Gamichunggan-tang(Jiaweiqinggan-tang) has significant effect on the improvement of clinical symptoms. And the ratio of seroconversion from HBeAg positive to HBeAg negative was 42.9%. Lymphocyte increased in 83.3% of patients converted to HBeAg negative. Conclusions : It is suggested that Gamichunggan-tang(Jiaweiqinggan-tang) has significant effects on the recovery of weakened liver function and immune modulation. This treatment could be recommened as a prescription for Chronic liver disease.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV)는 전 세계적으로 약 3억 5천만 명이 만성적으로 보균하고 있으며, 한국에서도 보건의학적으로 가장 중요하여 높은 간암의 발병율과도 밀접한 관련이 있다. 최근에 와서 HBV가 유도하는 임상적 위험질환의 병태생리에 대해서 면역학적 지식의 발전을 바탕으로 이해가 깊어졌는데, 바이러스 자체보다는 인체의 다양한 면역반응이 질병의 경과에 더욱 중요하다. 이러한 사실로 한의학적 치료법의 과학적 연구는 만성 HBV 보균자들에게 효과적인 치료방법으로 적용될 것으로 기대될 수 있는데, 우선 여기서는 전형적으로 HBV와 관련해서 의학적 문제를 모두 가지고 있는 한 가족을 통해서 HBV에 대한 폭넓은 이해에 도움을 얻고자한다.

To provide a quantitative parameter of evaluating diagnosis of the liver diseases accurately, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was estimated from liver phantoms, 15 normal human livers and 30 liver disease patients. Two kind of phantoms(No.1: 1552m/s, No.2: 1562m/s) which have velocity (1560m/s) similar to that in human liver were constructed and their ultrasonic attenuation coefficients were determined. In this paper the spectral-shift approach and spectral-difference approach were used for estimating ultrasonic attenuation coefficient, \ulcornerdB/Cm.MHz). These two approaches were utilized to esitmate for 15 normal humans without any liver disease and 30 liver disease patients. The results indicate that the two types of phantoms produce the value of near the suggested value of 0.5 and the attenuation coefficients of hepatoma, normal liver, corrhosis, fatty liver and hepatitis show decreasing value in order named, suggesting that the present study can be of clinical value incorrelating the estimated attenuation coefficidents with the liver diseases.

In man, ornithine carbamyl transferase is localized mainly in the liver and to a lesser extent in the smll intestine. Because of these findings, one might expect damage only to the liver or perhaps the small intestine to cause elevated ornithine carbamyl transferase activity in serum $(_S-OCT)$. Serum ornithine carbamyl transferase activity was determined in thirty normal subjects, and fifteen patients with viral hepatitis and fifteen patients with liver cirrhosis. The correlation of $_S-OCT$ with $_S-GPT$ and $_S-GOT$ was studied. The mean $_S-OCT$ activity in thirty normal Korean subjects was $0.094{\pm}0.043$I.U./L of serum. Elevated $_S-OCT$ activity was observed in patients with liver disease. The correlation coefficient was 0.18 for $_S-OCT$ and $_S-GPT$, ana 0.40 for $_S-OCT$ and $_S-GOT$.

The use of L-carbohydrates and their corresponding nucleosides in medicinal application has greatly increased. For example L-ribose has been much in demand as the starting material for curing hepatitis B. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was studied for the analysis of ribose and arabinose fractions from ion exchange chromatography (IEC). Dowex Monosphere 99 Ca/320 resin was packed in IEC to separate ribose and arabinose under various operating conditions. $NH_{2}$ and sugar HPLC columns were then used to analyze the fractions from the IEC column. Pulse input method (PIM) was also used to measure adsorption isotherms of ribose and arabinose in the Dowex column and HPLC columns. Experimental results and simulations by ASPEN chromatography were compared with fair agreement.

We encountered a patient with heavy Hymenolepis nana infection. The patient was a 44-year-old Korean man who had suffered from chronic hepatitis (type B) for 15 years. A large number of H. nana adult worms were found during colonoscopy that was performed as a part of routine health screening. The parasites were scattered throughout the colon, as well as in the terminal ileum, although the patient was immunocompetent. Based on this study, colonoscopy may be helpful for diagnosis of asymptomatic H. nana infections.
