In the course of searching for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from crude drugs, it was found that total MeOH extract of Corydalis Tuber showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase. To isolate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Corydalis Tuber, total MeOH extract of the the crude drug was subjected to activity guided fractionation. The MeOH extract was suspended in water and fractionated with methylene chloride and subjected to acid-base fractionation. Silica gel column chromatography of the basic fraction which showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase was carried out and 5 subfractions (1-5) were obtained. From subtraction 4, compound I was isolated. The structure of isolated compound I was identified by spectroscopic parameters of $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, EI-MS and FAB-MS. The compound I was identified as berberine. It was found from the Lineweaver-Burk plot that berberine was a reversible and specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase having 90% inhibitory effect at the concentration of $2.5{\mu}M$.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylorl) infection is now established as the major pathogenic factor in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. in addition, there is accumulating evidence that H. pylori plays an important role in the process of gastric carcinogenesis. On the other hand, oriental traditional medicines have been used for stomach disease for thousands of years. In the present study, methanol extract from the stem bark of Magnolia sieboldii (M. sieboldii) and its components were investigated on their inhibitory effects against urease activity and growth of H. pylori in vitro. The methanol extract of M. sieboldii significantly inhibited the growth of H. pylori ATCC 43504 at 5 mg/ml. From the further fractionation, the chloroform fraction inhibited the bacterial growth dose-dependently. Among four fractions separated from the chloroform fraction by silica gel column chromatography, MS-C-2 was the most potent. Costunolide was isolated from the MS-C-2 subtraction by preparative TLC and recrystallization using n-hexane. Anti-H. pylori effect of costunolide was investigated using one commercial strain (H. pylori ATCC 43504) and three clinical strains (H. pylon 4, 43, 82548). Costunolide exhibited potent anti-H. pylori activity, and the MIC was around $100-200{\mu}g/ml$. However, costunolide had no inhibitory effect of H. pylori urease activity at the concentration used for the growth inhibition assay. From these results, we conclude that costunolide inhibits the, growth of H. pylori by the independent manner of H. pylori urease inhibition.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to report the results of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for fixed sagittal imbalance with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Besides, authors evaluated the effect of adjunctive multi-level posterior column osteotomy (PCO) on achievement of additional lumbar lordosis (LL) during PSO. Methods : A total of 31 consecutive patients undergoing PSO for fixed sagittal imbalance were enrolled and analyzed. Correction angle of osteotomized vertebra (PSO angle) and other radiographic parameters including pelvic incidence (PI), thoracic kyphosis, LL, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were evaluated. Clinical outcomes and surgical complications were also assessed. Results : The mean age was 66.0±9.3 years with a mean follow-up period of 33.2±10.5 months. The mean number of fused segments was 9.6±3.5. The mean operative time and surgical bleeding were 475.9±160.5 minutes and 1406.1±932.1 mL, respectively. The preoperative SRS-22 score was 2.3±0.7 and improved to 3.2±0.8 at the final follow-up. The mean PI was 54.5±9.5°. LL was changed from 7.0±28.9° to -50.2±13.2°. The PSO angle was 33.7±13.5° (15.6±20.1° preoperatively, -16.1±19.4° postoperatively). The difference of correction angle of LL (57.3°) was greater about 23.6° than which of PSO angle (33.7°). SVA was improved from 189.5±93.0 mm, preoperatively to 12.4±40.8 mm, postoperatively. There occurred six, eight, and 14 cases of complications at intraoperative, early (<2 weeks) postoperative, and late (≥2 weeks) postoperative period, respectively. Additional operations were needed in nine patients due to the complications. Conclusion : PSO could provide satisfactory results for patients with fixed sagittal imbalance regarding clinical and radiographic outcomes. Additional correction of LL could be achieved with conduction of adjunctive multi-level PCOs during PSO.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide; however, despite major advances in cancer treatment during the past two decades, the prognostic outcome of lung cancer patients has improved only minimally. This is largely due to the inadequacy of the traditional screening approach of diagnosis in lung cancer, which detects only well­established overt cancers and fails to identify precursor lesions in premalignant conditions of the bronchial tree. In recent years this situation has fundamentally changed with the identification of molecular abnormalities characteristic of premalignant changes; these concern tumour suppressor genes, loss of heterozygosity at crucial sites and activation of oncogenes. Basic knowledge at the molecular level has extremely important clinical implications with regard to early diagnosis, risk assessment and prevention, and therapeutic targets. In this study we used a 'cap-finder' subtractive hybridization method, 'long distance' polymerase chain reaction (PCR), streptavidin magnetic beads mediated subtraction, and spin column chromatography to detect differential expression genes of human small cell lung carcinoma. We have now isolated ninety two genes that expressed differentially in the human small cell lung carcinoma cells and analyzed of 12 clones with sequencing, nine cDNAs include tapasin (NGS-17) mRNA, BC200 alpha scRNA, chromosome 12q24 PAC RPCI3-462E2, protein phosphatase 1 (PPPICA), translocation protein 1 (TLOC1), ribosomal protein S24 (RPS24) mRNA, protein phosphatase (PPEF2), cathepsin Z, MDM2 gene and three novel genes. They may be oncogenesis­related proteins.

본 연구에서는 전호추출물의 주름개선에 대한 효능을 측정하기 위하여 인간의 섬유아세포에 전호추출물을 처리하여 총콜라겐과 type I procollagen, MMP-1의 생합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 전호추출물을 인간 섬유아세포에 처리 시 콜라겐의 생합성은 증가시켰지만, MMP-1의 발현에 대해서는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 이는 전호추출물이 자외선에 의해 영향을 받는 광노화보다는, 노화에 의해 콜라겐 생합성율이 감소되는 내인성노화에 훨씬 유효함을 시사한다. 전호추출물을 처리시 95% EtOH 추출물의 경우 25%까지 총콜라겐의 생합성을 증가시켰고, EtOAc층은 28%, EtOAc의 E6 소분획의 경우 50% 증가시켰으므로, 콜라겐 생합성에 영향을 미치는 유효성분은 EtOAc층에 대부분 함유되어 있을 것으로 사료되고, 이는 확인되지 않은 미지의 효능 성분이 존재하거나, 다양한 활성 성분들의 상호 작용에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 전호추출물은 콜라겐 생합성을 촉진함으로 내인성노화에 의한 주름생성 및 탄력저하를 개선할 수 있는 천연 유용자원으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 수리 형태론과 대칭성을 이용한 번호판 검출 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 번호판의 모양, 색상, 크기, 위치 등은 사람이 쉽게 인식할 수 있도록 규격화되어 있다. 특히, 번호판의 바탕과 문자의 명암은 큰 대조를 이루며 번호판을 기준으로 하여 좌우 영상은 대칭성을 갖고 있다. 먼저, 번호판 영역을 부각시키기 위해 번호판의 문자 간격 크기의 사각 형태소로 입력 영상의 열림과 붙임 영상을 구하고 두 영상의 차 영상을 얻는다. 둘째, 번호판 크기의 마스크를 사용하여 차 영상의 평균 필터링을 수행한다. 셋째, 평균 필터링 영상의 각 열의 최대값 그래프를 구한 후 대칭성을 계산한다 넷째, 평균 필터링 영상의 피크들을 찾는다. 마지막으로 그래프에서 대칭성이 가장 큰 좌표의 언저리에 번호판이 있다는 가정 하에 번호판을 검출한다. 실험은 약 1,000장의 과속 단속 영상을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 약 93%의 검출률을 보였다.
