  • 혈청 중성지질 저하작용을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려진 OA식 및 DEHP식을 각각 투여한 흰쥐의 간장 및 소장에서 MTP 활성과 mRNA 수준을 검토하였다. 간장 중성지질 농도는 대조군에 비교해서 OA군에서 유의하게 증가하였으나, DEHP군에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈청 중성지질 농도는 대조군에 비해서 OA군 및 DEHP군에서 유의하게 감소하였는데, 이러한 저하는 OA군에서 더욱 현저하였다. 간세포에서의 MTP 활성과 mRNA 수준은 대조군에 비해서 OA군에서 유의하게 저하하였으나, 소장에서의 MTP 활성은 증가하였다. 그러나, 간장 및 소장의 MTP 활성과 mRNA 수준은 대조군과 DEHP군 사이에서는 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 간장에 있어서 중성지질 합성의 중요 조절효소인 microsomal PAP 활성은 대조군에 비해 OA군에서 유의하게 증가하였으나, DEHP군에서는 cytosolic PAP 활성이 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로부터, OA에 의한 혈청 중성지질 저하 작용에는 간장 MTP 활성과 mRNA 유전자 발현이 깊이 관여하였으나, DEHP에 의한 혈청 중성지질 저하 작용에는 MTP 대사와는 무관한 것으로 사료되었다.

  • 플라스틱 제품의 가소제로 널리 사용되며, 내분비 교란물질로도 알려져 있는 di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)를 사춘기 이전 흰쥐에 1주일 동안 구강 투여 (1g/kg, 3g/kg, 5g/kg)한 후 분화중인 정소의 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. DEHP 처리군에서는 대조군에 비하여 세정관 직경이 매우 작았으며, Leydig 세포, Sertoli 세포 및 분화중인 생식세포들의 증식이 억제되었다. 실험군에서 세정관 사이에 존재하여 테스토스테론을 분비하는 Leydig세포는 이질염색질이 증가하고, 세포질내에서 활면소포체의 발달이 미흡하였으며, 리소솜과 지방적이 증가하는 특징을 보였다. 세정관 내에서 Sertoli 세포는 세포질의 크기가 감소하고, 핵막이 불규칙해지거나, 염색질이 응축되어 있는 모습이 나타나며, 세포질내에서 리소솜과 액포들이 증가하였다. 실험군 흰쥐 정소내에서 분화중인 생식세포들의 핵은 이질염색질이 증가하거나, 응축되어 있고, 인의 분리현상이 관찰되기도 하며, 심한 경우 핵내에 공포가 형성되어 있거나, 괴사과정에 있는 생식세포들도 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 정소 미세 구조의 변화는 DEHP 투여량의 농도에 의존성을 보이며, 이 화합물은 Leydig 세포의 테스토스테론 합성 기능을 방해하고, 이어서 Sertoli 세포의 구조와 기능이 손상되어 정자형성과정 중인 생식세포들의 증식과 분화가 억제되는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Phthalate esters are used extensively as a plasticizer in the manufacture of plastic products such as PVC bags and medical devices. Recently, phthalate esters have been shown to induce endocrine system mediated responses. However. only a Jew studies have been conducted for estrogenic activity of phthalate esters. In this study estrogenic activities of seven phthalate esters. butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butylphthalate (DBP), diethylphthalate (DEP), di-n-pentylphthalate (DPP), di-n-propylphthalate (DPrP) and dicyclohexylphthalate (DCHP), were examined in vitro using E-screen assay and competitive binding assay. From the E-screen assay, BBP. DEHP. DBP and DEP showed weak estrogenic activity at the concentration of 5 $\mu\textrm{M}$. The relative proliferative effect (RPE) and the relative proliferative potency (RPP) were 50~70% and 0.01%. respectively, when compared with 500 pM of 17$\beta$-estradiol (E2). In competitive binding assay with the rat uterine estrogen receptor (ER), BBP and DEP showed weak binding potency [(l/$10^4$~1/$10^5$ of E2] while DEHP and DBP scarcely bound to ER. These results suggest that some phthalate esters have weak estrogenic activities in vitro.

  • The quantity, process and kinetics of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) migration in the 30/70 and 40/60 poly(vinylchloride) (PVC)/DEHP blends were investigated using gas chromatograph. A thin and flexible PVC sheet was soaked in surrounding medium (SM) of water/ethanol mixture and acetonitrile with constant stirring to release DEHP. By observed concentration of DEHP in the SM, it is found that acetonitrile is more intense in DEHP migration than water/ethanol mixture. In addition the amount of extracted DEHP is proportional to the leaching temperature and added ratio of DEHP. The behavior of DEHP migration from flexible PVC sheets was described by the Ficks's law with $2.72-10.1\;{times}\;10^{-10}$ cm²/s of the diffusion coefficients.

  • Objectives: Although phthalates like dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) are commonly used as plasticizers and their metabolites are especially suspected of reproductive toxicity, little is known about occupational exposure to those phthalates. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of measuring the metabolite concentrations of DBP and DEHP in serum and urine samples as an indicator of occupational exposure to those phthalates. Methods: Phthalate metabolites were analyzed by using column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results: We detected phthalate metabolites in serum and urine matrices at approximately 10-fold lower than the limit of detection of those metabolites in the same matrix by LC-MS/MS without column switching, which was sufficient to evaluate concentrations of phthalate metabolites for industrial workers and the general population. Conclusion: The accuracy and precision of the analytical method indicate that urinary metabolite determination can be a more acceptable biomarker for studying phthalate exposure and adverse health outcomes.

  • Based on our preliminary results, we examined the possible role of low-dose and chronic-exposing of the chemicals those are known as endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), on the proliferation of uterine endometrium and the localization of steroid receptors. Immunohistochemical or immunofluorochemical methodology were employed to evaluate the localization of antigen identified by monoclonal antibody Ki 67 protein (MKI67), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2), and progesterone receptor (PGR). In $133{\mu}g/L$ and $1,330{\mu}g/L$ di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and $50{\mu}g/L$ nonylphenol (NP) groups, the ratio of MKI67 positive stromal cells was significantly increased but not in $500{\mu}g/L$ NP group. The ratios of MKI67 positive glandular and luminal epithelial cells were also changed by the chronic administration of NP and DEHP in tissue with dose specific manner. ESR1 signals were localized in nucleus in glandular and luminal epithelia of control group but its localization was mainly in cytoplasm in DEHP and NP administered groups. On the other hand, it was decreased at nucleus of stromal cells in $1,330{\mu}g/L$ DEHP group. The colocalization patterns of these nuclear receptors were also modified by the administration of these chemicals. Such a tissue specific and dose specific localization of ESR2 and PGR were detected as ESR1 in all the uterine endometrial tissues. These results show that the chronic lows-dose exposing of NP or DEHP modify the localization and colocalization of ESRs and PGR, and of the proliferation patterns of the endometrial tissues.

  • Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) 가 가소제로 첨가되 있는 poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) 제품의 사용중에는 DEHP가 방출되어 나올 가능성이 있다. 이때 추출되는 DEHP의 정량적인 측정법에는 여러가지가 있으나 그 방법에 따라 용출량에 많은 차이가 발생하기 때문에 측정방법과 결과에 대한 비교분석은 시급한 과제라 할 수 있다. 이를 평가하기 위하여 PVC를 주원료로 하는 혈액백과 수액백에서의 DEHP 용출에 관한 연구를 기체 크로마토그래프와 분광광도계를 이용한 두 가지 방법으로 수행하였다. 5종류의 PVC 백을 실험 재료로 선택하여 $40{\times}10{\times}0.4mm$ 크기의 시편을 제조하고 이를 용출액에 담가 1시간동안 DEHP를 용출하였다. 기체 크로마토그래프로 DEHP 를 검출한 결과 시료에 따라 $23.2{\sim}70.9{\mu}g/mL$ 의 DEHP가 용출되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면 PVC백 안에 용출액을 주입하여 1시간 동안 DEHP를 용출시키고 분광 광도계를 이용하여 DEHP를 검출한 결과 $24.8{\sim}41.3{\mu}g/mL$의 DEHP가 용출되었다. 용출 조건과 실험방법에 따라 서로 다른 수치를 보임을 알 수 있었고 단위 시간 단위 면적 당 용출되는 DEHP의 양은 일정하다는 전제 하에 두 실험의 결과를 비교하고 환산하는 식을 구하여 적용한 결과 두 측정방법에서 얻어진 용출량이 거의 일치하였다.

  • Objectives A hazard assessment of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a commonly used workplace chemical, was conducted in order to protect the occupational health of workers. A literature review, consisting of both domestic and international references, examined the chemical management system, working environment, level of exposure, and possible associated risks. This information may be utilized in the future to determine appropriate exposure levels in working environments. Methods Hazard assessment was performed using chemical hazard information obtained from international agencies, such as Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development-generated Screening Information Data Set and International Program on Chemical Safety. Information was obtained from surveys conducted by the Minister of Employment and Labor ("Survey on the work environment") and by the Ministry of Environment ("Survey on the circulation amount of chemicals"). Risk was determined according to exposure in workplaces and chemical hazard. Results In 229 workplaces over the country, 831 tons of DEHP have been used as plasticizers, insecticides, and ink solvent. Calculated 50% lethal dose values ranged from 14.2 to 50 g/kg, as determined via acute toxicity testing in rodents. Chronic carcinogenicity tests revealed cases of lung and liver degeneration, shrinkage of the testes, and liver cancer. The no-observed-adverse-effect level and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect level were determined to be 28.9 g/kg and 146.6 g/kg, respectively. The working environment assessment revealed the maximum exposure level to be $0.990mg/m^3$, as compared to the threshold exposure level of $5mg/m^3$. The relative risk of chronic toxicity and reproductive toxicity were 0.264 and 0.330, respectively, while the risk of carcinogenicity was 1.3, which is higher than the accepted safety value of one. Conclusions DEHP was identified as a carcinogen, and may be dangerous even at concentrations lower than the occupational exposure limit. Therefore, we suggest management of working environments, with exposure levels below $5mg/m^3$ and all workers utilizing local exhaust ventilation and respiratory protection when handling DEHP.
