목적: COL8A2 유전자 돌연변이 유무에 따라 푹스이상증 환자들의 임상적 특징 및 예후에 차이가 있는지 비교해 보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 1996년부터 2015년까지 푹스이상증으로 처음 진단 받은 환자 81명(162안)을 COL8A2 유전자 돌연변이 유무에 따라 두 군으로 나누었다. 두 군에 대하여 환자의 성별, 진단 시 나이, 가족력 유무, 당뇨의 유무, 기상 시 시력저하 증상의 유무, 시간경과에 따른 각막두께와 각막내피세포 수의 변화, 각막이식 여부 및 이식 수술 전 상태에 대하여 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 대상자 81명 중 COL8A2 유전자 돌연변이는 12명에서 관찰되었다. 유전자 돌연변이가 있는 군에서 가족력, 당뇨 및 기상 시 시력저하 증상이 유의하게 더 많았다(p=0.021, p=0.024, p=0.044, respectively). 또한, 유전자 돌연변이가 있는 군에서 처음 진단 시 각막두께가 유의하게 더 두꺼웠으며 각막내피세포 수가 유의하게 더 적었고(p=0.020, p=0.005, respectively), 돌연변이가 있을 때 한 환자에서 양안 사이의 각막두께 및 각막내피세포 수의 차이가 더 적었다(p=0.043, p=0.022, respectively). 5년간 경과관찰 하던 중 유전자 돌연변이가 있는 군에서 60.0%, 없는 군에서 19.2%가 각막이식을 받아 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.014). 결론: COL8A2 유전자 돌연변이 검사를 통하여 초기에 양안성으로 진행 여부 및 각막이식이 필요할 가능성 등의 예후를 예측할 수 있다.

We find the values of numerical invariants col(R) and row (R) for R=k[te, te+1, t(e-1)e-1] where k is a field and e$\geq$4. We also show that col(R) = crs (R) and row (R) = drs(R), but they are strictly less than the reduction number of R plus 1.

Objectives The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone healing effect of Pahyeolsandong-tang (PHT)(Poxiesanteng-tang) extract in tibia fracture-induced mice. Methods PHT was extracted using a solution of 35% ethanol in 60℃ for 8 hours. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (normal, control, PHT 50 and PHT 100). Mice of experimental groups were medicated with PHT 50 or 100 mg/kg for 7 to 21 days. To clarify the effect of bone fracture healing, relative messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (OSX), Sox9, collagen type II alpha 1 chain (Col2a1), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) were examined. Results In in vitro experiment, relative mRNA expression of OCN, Runx2, Col2a1 was significantly increased in PHT treated group to compare with control differentiation group. In in vivo experiment, relative mRNA expression of OCN, Runx2, OSX, Sox9, Col2a1, RANKL, OPG was significantly increased in PHT treated group. Conclusions This study showed that PHT accelerates bone fracture healing through the activation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. It was showed that PHT significantly promotes osteoblasts differentiation by osteoblast differentiation markers such as OCN, Runx2, Col1a2. Also it was investigated that PHT had stimulatory effect on osteoblasts function through enhancing OCN, Runx2, OSX, Sox9, Col2a1 and, osteoclasts function through enhancing RANKL and OPG markers. PHT effectively promotes bone fracture healing process through activation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

광나무(L. lucidum)는 ursolic acid와 oleanolic acid를 다량 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광나무 열매, 줄기, 잎 세 부위 추출물의 항주름 효능을 평가하였다. 광나무 추출물은 human skin fibroblasts에서 독성이 없을 뿐만 아니라 MMP-1과 MMP-2의 발현을 감소시키고 COL1A1의 발현을 증가시켰다. 이들 추출물은 모두 농도 의존적으로 COL1A1의 발현을 증가시켰으며 MMP-1과 MMP-2의 발현을 감소시켰다. 광나무 세 부위 추출물 가운데, 열매 부위에 가장 많은 양의 ursolic acid 와 oleanolic acid가 함유되어 있었으며 가장 강한 COL1A1 upregulating 효과와 MMP-1과 MMP-2 downregulating 효과를 나타냈다. 이처럼 항주름 효능을 보이는 광나무 열매 추출물은 기능성 화장품 소재로 개발될 수 있는 가능성이 있다.

Aging causes thymus involution, and genes in thymus play an important role in the development of the immune system. In this study, we compared genes expressed in thymus of neonatal and peripubertal rats using annealing control primers (ACPs)-based GeneFishing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and semiquantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. We identified 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with 20 ACPs. Of 10 DEGs, bystin-like, collagen type V alpha 1 (COL5A1), and T-cell receptor beta-chain segment 2 (TCRB2) that are related to immune-function were detected in rat thymus. Bystin-like and TCRB2 were up-regulated, while COL5A1 was down-regulated in peripubertal thymus. Semiquantitative RT-PCR confirmed postnatal changes in expression of bystin-like, COL5A1, and TCRB2. These results suggest that bystin-like, COL5A1, and TCRB2 could regulate immune function controlled in thymus as age increases.

Background & Objective : Uncaria rhynchophylla is traditional medicine herb used for enhancing body resistance against various diseases. The aim of this study was to identify if Uncaria rhynchophylla extracts induce osteogenic activity in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Methods : The osteogenic activity of Uncaria rhynchophylla was evaluated on cell proliferation assay by WST-8, and osteoblast-specific genes, such as VEGF, type I collagen (Col I), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN) by RT-PCR analysis and ELISA assay in osteoblasts-like SaOS-2 cells. Bone mineralization was stained with Alizalin red method. Results : Uncaria rhynchophylla had significantly increased cell proliferation at a dose dependent manner in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Uncaria rhynchophylla markedly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression at 7 days and dose dependently increased ALP activity and VEGF secretion in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Also, Uncaria rhynchophylla time-dependently increased type I collagen (Col I), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA in SaOS-2 cells. Extracellular accumulation of proteins such as Col I and OCN was maximal increased by Uncaria rhynchophylla at 10 ${\mu}g/ml$. Also, Uncaria rhynchophylla significantly induced mineralization in the culture of SaOS-2 cells. Conclusion : This study showed that Uncaria rhynchophylla had enhanced proliferation, ALP activity, VEGF, bone matrix proteins such as OCN, OPN, and Col I, and mineralization in SaOS-2 cells. These results propose that Uncaria rhynchophylla can play an important role in osteoblastic bone formation, osteogenesis, and may possibly lead to the development of bone-forming drugs.

Background & Object : The differentiation of osteoblasts controlled by various growth factors and matrix proteins expression in bone. The aim of this study was to identify the Astragalus membranaceus that may induce the osteogenic activity in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Methods : The osteogenic activity of Astragalus membranaceus were evaluated by WST-8 assay, ALP activity, RT-PCR analysis of VEGF, OCN, OPN, Col I mRNA, and ELISA or colorimetric analysis, and mineralization by Alizarin red staining in SaOS-2 cells. Results : Astragalus membranaceus had no effect on viability of osteoblastic cells, and dose dependently increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Astragalus membranaceus markedly increased mRNA expression for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and type I collagen (Col 1) in SaOS-2 cells. Extracellular accumulation of proteins such as VEGF, and Col I was increased in a dose-dependent manner. Also, Astragalus membranaceus significantly induced mineralization in the culture of SaOS-2 cells. Conclusion : This study showed that Astragalus membranaceus not affect on viability, but it enhanced ALP activity, VEGF, bone matrix proteins such as OCN, OPN and Col I, and mineralization in SaOS-2 cells. These results propose that Astragalus membranaceus plays an important role in osteoblastic bone formation, and possibly lead to the development of bone-forming drug.

In this paper, $TiO_2$-xmol%$V_2O_5$, x=0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 specimens are fabricated by Sol-Gel method. For the improvement of humidity sensitive characteristics for specimens, their microstructures are analysed and the optimum processing condition is established. Grain size increases with substitution rate of $V^{5+}$, on $Ti^{4+}$ site. Their humidity sensitive characteristics is good at 1mol% of $V_2O_5$ rate and heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$. The capacitance of specimens decreases with frequency.

The SBT$(Sr_{0.8}Bi_{2.4}Ta_2O_9)$ thin films for semiconductor device were deposited on Pt-coated $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2Si$ wafer by RF magnetron sputtering method at $400[^{\circ}C]$ and annealed at the temperature range from $600[^{\circ}C]$ to $850[^{\circ}C]$. The top electrodes(Pt) were deposited on SBT thin film by DC sputtering method. The crystallinity of SBT thin films were increased with increase of annealing temperature in the temperature range of $600[{\circ}C]\sim850[^{\circ}C]$. The annealing temperature properties were to be most excellent in the case of annealed SBT thin film at $750^{\circ}C]$. And, the maximum remanent polarization$(2P_r)$ and the coercive electric field$(E_c)$ at annealing temperature of $750[^{\circ}C]$ obtained about $11.60[{\mu}C/cm^2]$ and 48[kV/cm], respectively. Specially, it was seen that fatigue properties does not change in $10^{10}$ switching cycle.
