  • Purpose: This study seeks to compare the dosimetric parameters of the bulk electron density (ED) approach and synthetic computed tomography (CT) image in terms of position variation of the air cavity in magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) for patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods: This study included nine patients that previously received MRgRT and their simulation CT and magnetic resonance (MR) images were collected. Air cavities were manually delineated on simulation CT and MR images in the treatment planning system for each patient. The synthetic CT images were generated using the deep learning model trained in a prior study. Two more plans with identical beam parameters were recalculated with ED maps that were either manually overridden by the cavities or derived from the synthetic CT. Dose calculation accuracy was explored in terms of dose-volume histogram parameters and gamma analysis. Results: The D95% averages were 48.80 Gy, 48.50 Gy, and 48.23 Gy for the original, manually assigned, and synthetic CT-based dose distributions, respectively. The greatest deviation was observed for one patient, whose D95% to synthetic CT was 1.84 Gy higher than the original plan. Conclusions: The variation of the air cavity position in the gastrointestinal area affects the treatment dose calculation. Synthetic CT-based ED modification would be a significant option for shortening the time-consuming process and improving MRgRT treatment accuracy.

  • Fuzhengfangaitang is a prescript for inhibiting recurrence and metastasis of cancer. We had examined the anti-metatstastic effect of Fuzhengfangaitang. Furthermore, we performed the following experiments with ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang. The purpose of this thesis is to study what ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang have more valuable anti-cancer effects. And the results are listed below: 1. Cell Viability assay At the dose of 400$\mu$g/ml, most ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang depressed viability of ECV-304. And especially, Scutellaria barbata D. DON$50{\mu}g/ml$ : 53.118%, $100{\mu}g/ml$: 49.092%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 43.765%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 12.747%), Polygonum bistorta L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 45.554%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 45.554%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.0%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.0%) and Psoralea corylifolia L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 86.591%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 81.307%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 24.801%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 3.111%) highly depressed cell viability more than the other ingredients. (${\alpha}$<0.05) 2. Cell Proliferation assay Proliferation assay with ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang on ECV-304 showed that Crataegus pinnatifuda BGE ($50{\mu}g/ml$: 63.276%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 64.092%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 68.966% $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 38.517%, ED50=$296.974{\mu}g/ml$), Polygonum bistorta L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 83.981%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 86.997%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 58.780%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 26.408%), ED50=$266.725{\mu}g/ml$) and Psoralea corylifolia L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 103.037%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 82.529%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 2.829%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.998%), ED50=$177.369{\mu}g/ml$) depressed cell proliferation more than the other ingredients. 3. Tube Formation assay Compared with the control group, most ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang did not remarkably inhibited the Tube Formation assay of ECV-304 at the dose of $100{\mu}g/ml$. But, Polygonum bistorta L. highly inhibited the tube formation of ECV -304 at the lower dose of $50{\mu}g/ml$. 4. Rat Aortic Ring assay In comparison with the control group, Scutellaria barbata D. DON., root of Polygonum bistorta L. and Psoralea corylifolia L. restricted the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at the dose of $100{\mu}g/ml$. And the other ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang did not restricted the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at that dose. Especially, Polygonum bistorta L. highly inhibited the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at the lower dose of $50{\mu}g/ml$. From our research, the anti-angiogenic effects of the ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang was proven. Moreover, it will be helpful for designing more effective prescription for anti angiogenesis.

  • A mycotoxin Patulin, isolated from apple juice medium cultured with Penicillium patulum NRRL5259, was purified through acid aluminum column using ethyl ether as eluent. The yield of purified patulin crystal was 3mg/ml culture medium after 8 days of shaking culture at 28C. The growth rate of Escherichia coli K12JM103 infected with bacteriophage M13 was decreased by patulin at the concentration range of 1Mug/ml to 10Mu/nl. ED50 of patulin for the bacterial growth was 4.5Mug/ml and 10Mug/ml of patulin caused maximum inhibitory effect (60% inhibition) on the growth.

  • Inflammation caused by active oxygen and the resulting barrier damage have been consistently pointed out as the cause of wrinkle formation. In this study, effective index ingredient search and efficacy analysis were performed to verify the value of use as a functional cosmetic material related to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin barrier improvement, and anti-aging for extracts of four types of Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis (ED), Eleutherococcus senticosus (EN), Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (ES), and Eleutherococcus sieboldianus (EI) belonging to the Eleutherococcus genus. To identify the effective index composition, the content of the ingredients was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The content of eleutheroside E and chlorogenic acid was the highest in ED among the Eleutherococcus genus. As for anti-oxidant activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in ED. In anti-inflammatory effects, ED extracts inhibited nitric oxide generation in inflammatory macrophage cells due to lipopolysaccharide by 40% at 100 ㎍/mL. In the case of IL-6 inhibition, which is known as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, ED showed 41% inhibition at 100 ㎍/mL. In addition, filaggrin and involucrin, which are skin barrier-related factors, were increased by 2.5 times and 1.6 times, respectively, in 100 ㎍/mL of ED extracts, and as for the collagenase, which is a wrinkle-related factor, ED extract showed 29% efficacy at 100 ㎍/mL. Thus, these result suggested that ED extract, among the four Eleutherococcus genus, can be used as a cosmetic ingredient for suppressing inflammation in the skin, reinforcing the skin barrier, and reducing wrinkles.

  • In the present studies, effect of progesterone on the germinal vesicle break-down of the mouse oocytes cultured in the micro tube was investigated. The results obtained are as follows: As dose of progesterone in the medium rose, accordingly the break-down of the germinal vesicle was suppressed. It was found that $ED_{50}$ was 15.7 ${\mu}g$/ml, and $ED_{90}$ 60.7 ${\mu}g$/ml of progesterone. The dose suppressing the oocyte maturation was apparently higher than that on the rabbit or on the mouse embryonal development. The inhibiting effect of progesterone on the GVBD was reversible. The germinal vesicle of the oocytes were broken down immediately in the medium upon removal of the hormone. Progesterone stops meiosis at any stage upon administration, while dbe AMP or theophylline supresses only the break-down of the nuclear membrane. Recovering of the meiotic division of the oocytes once exposed to progesterone was delayed a little. The inhibiting action of progesterone was not altered by adding more pyruvate or in the presence of higher concentration of the mineral ions in the culture medium.

  • Cholesteryl p-[3-(2-chloroethyl_-3-nitrosoureido] phenylthioaccetate (2) was synthesized : an intermediate, p-[3(2-chloroethyl_-3-nitrosoureido] phenylthioacetic acid (1) is a congener of an antitumor chlorambucil which both the -CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$-linkage and -N(CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$Cl)$_{2}$ group of chlorambucil molecule is doubly modified into the respective -S-linkage and -NH-CO-NNO-CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$CL group. The attackment of cholesterol moiety as a carrier group to p-[3-(2-chloroethyl-3nitrosoureido] phenylthioacetic acid was accomplished through the esterification of cholesterol with p-[3-(2-chloroethyl-3-nitrosoureido] phenylthioacetyl chloride which was obtained from the treatment of p-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourei-do] phenylthioaceticacid with SOCL$_{2}$, p-[3-(2-chloroethyl)ureido]]-phenythioacetic acid was nitrosated with NaNO$_{2}$ IN 98-100% HCOOH to give exclusively p-[3-(2-chloroethyl_-3-nitrosoureido] phenylthioacetic acid. Antitumor evaluation of compounds, 1 and 2 on L 1210 leukemia did show significant activity (ED$_{40}$ : 1.14.mu./ml and 8.4.mu.g/ml, repectively). Further studies were subjected..
