Ballast water is widely recognized as a serious environmental problem due to the risk of introducing non-indigenous aquatic species. In this study we aimed to investigate measures which can minimize the transfer of aquatic organisms from ballast water. Securing more reliable technologies to determine the viability of aquatic organisms is an important initiative in ballast water management systems. To evaluate the viability of marine phytoplankton, we designed the staining methods of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and Calcein-AM assay on each target species belonging to different groups, such as bacillariphyceae, dinophyceae, raphidophyceae, chrysophyceae, haptophyceae and chlorophyceae. The FDA method, which is based on measurements of cell esterase activity using a fluorimetric stain, was the best dye for determining live cells of almost all phytoplankton species, except several diatoms tested in this study. On the other hand, although fluorescence of Calcein-AM was very clear for a comparatively longer time, green fluorescence per cell volume was lacking in most of the tested species. According to the Flow CAM method, which is a continuous imaging technique designed to characterize particles, green fluorescence values of stained cells by FDA were significantly higher than those of Calcein-AM treatments and control, implying that the Flow CAM using FDA assay could be adapted as an important tool for distinguishing living cells from dead cells. Our results suggest that the FDA and Calcein-AM methods can be adapted for use on phytoplankton, though species-specific characters are greatly different from one organism to another.

생체내 피부 자극은 일련의 복합적인 생리 화학적 변화를 수반한다. 이러한 생체내 현상을 보다 민감하게 반영하고, 동물 시험 경감 측면 및 정확성, 재현성을 보완하기 위하여 자극 물질 검색을 위한 대체 시험법이 필요하게 되었다. CAMVA는 이러한 필요성에 의해 고안된 방법의 하나로써 약 10일된 유정란의 복합적인 혈관이 융합된 장뇨막내에 자극 물질을 투여하고 일정 시간 후, 막 내 혈관의 충혈, 출혈, 응집현상 등의 변화를 통해 자극 정도를 평가하는 in vitro 시험계이다. 본 연구에서는 화장품 영역에서 중요한 위치를 차지하는 계면활성제의 자극 정도를 검색하여 in vitro 시험법인 CAMVA와 in vivo 시험법간의 상관성을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 매우 높은 상관성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 CAMVA는 안 자극 시험의 대체 시험법 뿐만 아니라 피부자극의 예측에도 적용 가능한 유용한 시험법이라 생각된다.

아세로라는 천연 비타민 C 함량이 높아 우수한 원료이지만 안정화하기가 어려워 화장품 소재로서의 연구가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 아세로라 추출물을 안정화 시키는 혼합 리포좀 제형을 제조하여, 안전성 시험으로 BCOP assay 및 HET-CAM assay를 통한 안점막자극시험, 인체피부 일차자극시험을 통한 피부자극시험을 평가하였다. Tyrosinase 활성저해, melanin 생성저해를 통한 미백 효과 및 procollagen type-I C-peptide 생성을 통한 주름 효과를 평가하여 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 또한, 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀이 함유된 크림을 제조하여 시험대상자를 대상으로 피부주름, 피부미백에 대한 인체효능평가를 진행하였다. 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀의 BCOP assay, HET-CAM assay 및 인체피부 일차자극 시험결과에서 모두 자극을 보이지 않아 피부 및 안자극에서 안전함을 확인하였다. Tyrosinase 활성저해능을 확인한 결과, 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀은 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 75.8%의 tyrosinase 활성 저해능을 확인하였으며, melanin 생성 저해시험에서 B16F10 세포주의 생존율에 영향을 미치지 않는 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 46.2%의 멜라닌 생성 저해능을 확인하였다. Procollagen type-I C-peptide에서 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀은 HS68 세포주의 생존율에 영향을 미치지 않는 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 152.1%의 collagen 합성능을 확인하였으나, MMP-1 활성억제는 확인할 수 없었다. 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀이 함유된 크림에 대한 피부주름 및 피부멜라닌 인체효력평가에서 피부주름 지표와 피부멜라닌 지표에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 개선됨을 확인하였다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 아세로라 추출물 혼합 리포좀이 안자극과 피부자극을 나타내지 않는 안전한 천연 소재임을 확인하였으며, 피부 주름 개선 및 미백 화장품 소재로써 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was attempted to investigate the anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects of Sobokchukeotang(SBCT) and Kamisobokchukeotang(KSBCT). Cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines, anti-adhesion, pulmonary colonization, anti-angiogenesis, and T/C% were evaluated. SBCT and KSBCT exhibited no cytotoxicity against HT-1080, A549, SK-OV-3, B16-F10 and SK-Mel-2 cell lines. In inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase I, the $IC_{50S}$ were shown $250-500{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ of SBCT and $62.5-125{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ of KSBCT respectively. In the in vivo experiments, SBCT(135.98%) and KSBCT(151.92%) apparently increased the life span of mice bearing sarcoma-180. KSBCT significantly inhibited the adhesion of HT-1080 to complex extracellular matrix in a dose-dependent manner in contrast to SBCT. In pulmonary colonization assay by B16-F10, a number of colonies in the lungs were decreased more significantly in KSBCT group than those in SBCT group. In vitro neovascularization and CAM assay, angiogenesis was more significantly inhibited in KSBCT-treated group than in SBCT- treated group. Above results suggests that KSBCT is more effectively applied to prevention and treatment of cancer than SBCT.

Purpose: We have previously reported that tetra-cell adhesion molecule (T-CAM) markedly enhanced the differentiation of osteoblast-like cells grown on anorganic bone mineral (ABM). T-CAM comprises recombinant peptides containing the Arg- Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence in the tenth type III domain, Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN) sequence in the ninth type III domain of fibronectin (FN), and the Glu-Pro-Asp-Ilu-Met (EPDIM) and Tyr-His (YH) sequence in the fourth fas-1 domain of ${\beta}$ig-h3. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the cellular activity of osteoblast-like cells and the new bone formation on ABM coated with T-CAM, while comparing the results with those of synthetic cell binding peptide (PepGen P-15). Methods: To analyze the cell viability, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was performed, andto analyze gene expression, northernblot was performed. Mineral nodule formations were evaluated using alizarin red stain. The new bone formations of each group were evaluated using histologic observation and histomorphometrc analysis. Results: Expression of alkaline phosphatase mRNA was similar in all groups on days 10 and 20. The highest expression of osteopontin mRNA was observed in the group cultured with ABM/P-15, followed by those with ABM/T-CAM and ABM on days 20 and 30. Little difference was seen in the level of expression of collagen type I mRNA on the ABM, ABM/T-CAM, and ABM/P-15 cultured on day 20. There were similar growth and proliferation patterns for the ABM/T-CAM and ABM/P-15. The halo of red stain consistent with $Ca^{2+}$ deposition was wider and denser around ABM/T-CAM and ABM/P-15 particles than around the ABM particles. The ABM/T-CAM group seemed to have bone forming bioactivity similar to that of ABM/P-15. A complete bony bridge was seen in two thirds of the defects in the ABM/T-CAM and ABM/P-15 groups. Conclusions: ABM/T-CAM, which seemed to have bone forming bioactivity similar to ABM/P-15, was considered to serve as effective tissue-engineered bone graft material.

This work aimed to assess some pharmacological activities of P. leptostachya var. asiatica Hara. The dried roots of P. leptostachya var. asiatica Hara were extracted with 70% ethanol to generate the powdered extract, named PLE. Anti-angiogenic activity was detected using chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated via analyzing nitric oxide (NO) content, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Antioxidant activity was determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the stimulated macrophage cells. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and -2 (MMP-2) activities in the culture media were detected using zymography. PLE exhibits an anti-angiogenic activity in the CAM assay, and displays an inhibitory action on the generation of NO in the LPS-stimulated macrophage cells. In the stimulated macrophage cells, it is able to diminish the enhanced ROS level. It can potently scavenge the stable DPPH free radical. It suppresses the induction of iNOS and COX-2 and the enhanced MMP-9 activity in the stimulated macrophage cells. Both monooxygenase and oxidase activities of tyrosinase were strongly inhibited by PLE. Taken together, the dried roots of P. leptostachya var. asiatica Hara possess anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin whitening activities, which might partly provide its therapeutic efficacy in traditional medicine.

Propolis, obtained from honeybee hives, has been used in Oriental folk medicine as an anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and immunomodulatory agent. There is considerable evidence suggesting that angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are codependent. Blockage of angiogenesis results in an anti-inflammatory effect. Ethanol (EEP) and ether extracts of propolis (REP), and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis, were examined for their anti-angiogenic activities using the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), and the calf pulmonary arterial endothelial (CPAE) cell proliferation, assays. The presence of EEP, REP and CAPE inhibited angiogenesis in the CAM assay and the proliferation of CPAE cells. The results suggest that anti-angiogenic activities of EEP, REP and CAPE are also responsible for their anti-inflammatory effect.
