  • Objectives: This study was performed to elucidate the effects of Kanghwalsokdan-tang extract(KS) on hyper-plasy of collagen and cell damage in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast. Methods: To demonstrate the effects of KS on wound healing we used human dermal fibroblast(F6). We evaluated the amount of increased PICP, TIMP-1 in dermal fibroblast. PICP, TIMP-1 concentration was measured using EIA kit. Also, we measured the nitrite production, and LDH release in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast to elucidate the action-mechanism of KS. Results: 1. KS decreased the cell proliferation of dermal fibroblast. 2. KS decreased the biosynthesis of collagen in dermal fibroblast. 3. KS decreased the synthesis of TIMP-1 in dermal fibroblast. 4. KS had no effect on the LDH-release of UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast. 5. KS inhibited nitrite production in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast. Conclusions: From the results, we concluded that KS has a protective effect on wound healing and photoaging.

  • 연구배경: 폐종양환자의 혈청에서 증가되는 종양표지자는 여러가지 알려져 있다. 그러나 CEA이외는 기본적으로 시행되는 경우는 드물다. 2가지 이상의 종양표지자를 사용하면 민감도를 높일수 있으며 이중 CEA는 선암에 SCC Ag는 편평세포암에 NSE는 소세포암에 각각 민감도가 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 3가지 표지자를 동시에 측정하는 것의 진단적 가치를 알아보고자 본연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 폐암군 113예(남자 90명, 여자 23명)와 대조군 103예(남자 61명, 여자 43명)로 하였다. 편평세포암 70예, 선암 30예, 소세포폐암 13예 였다. 대조군은 양성 폐질환 환자를 대상으로 하였고 폐결핵 55예, 노인성폐질환 24예, 폐렴 11예, 기타 13예 였다. 혈청을 채취후 CEA는 측정은 CEA EIA kit(Roche사, German)를 이용하여 Sandwich Enzyme Immunoassay방법으로, SCC Ag의 측정은 Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay(MIEA)방법의 IMx SCC Assay Kit(Abbott사, USA)를 사용하였고 NSE의 측정은 CEA와 같은 방법으로 NSE EIA Kit(Roche사, German)를 이용하였다. 결과: 1) 폐암군 표지자값은 CEA $12.1{\pm}6.7ng/ml$, SCC Ag $2.1{\pm}3.1ng/ml$, NSE $13.7{\pm}2.2ng/ml$ 이었고 대조군의 수치보다 유의하게 높았다(각각 P<0.001). 2) 조직별 분류시 CEA는 선암군에, SCC Ag는 편평세포임군에, NSE는 소세포암군에 유의하게 높았다(각각 p=0.03, 0.001, 0.0012). 병기별 분류시 병기가 높을 수록 값이 높았지만 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 3) ROC curve상 CEA가 3지표자중 가장 좋았고, SCC Ag는 민감도는 전체적으로 낮으나 편평상피암에는 특이하게 높았으며 NSE도 전체적으로 CEA만큼 우수하였다. 4) 민감도는 편평세포암군 SCC Ag 67.1%, 선암군 CEA 73.3%, 소세포암군 NSE가 76.9%로 높았고 특이도는 전체적으로 NSE가 우수했다. 5) 표지자를 조합시 민감도가 가장 많이 증가한 것은 편평세포암(90%)이고, 증가가 미미한 것은 선암(80%) 이었다. 6) 종양표지자의 수에 때론 폐암 비교예측도는 1표 지자도 양성이 없을시 17% 이었다. 1표지자가 양성시 예측도가 59%, 2표지자 양성시 77%, 3표지자 양성시 90% 였다. 결론: SCC Ag는 편평세포암에 비교적 국한되어 상승하며 CEA는 3암종에 비특이적으로 증가하는 경우가 많고, NSE는 소세포암에 민감하고 특이도가 3암 모두에서 높았다. 3가지 조합시 큰 도움이 되지 못한 암종은 선암이었고, 가장 도움을 얻을 수 있는 것은 편평세포암이었다. 이로 CEA에 SCC Ag와 NSE를 동시에 측정하는 것이 폐암의 진단과 조직형의 감별에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

  • 직접적인 근거를 제시하기는 힘드나 정신장애에서 자가면역적 요소가 병인적으로 중요하다는 단편적인 보고들이 있다. 특히 바이러스 감염은 정신장애를 유발하거나 나중에 정신장애에 대한 소지를 증가시킬 가능성이 높다. 저자들은 최근에 많은 관심을 끌고 있는 C형 간염 항체(이하 anti-HCV)의 양성율이 자가면역적 관점 및 수혈 외에도 성행위 또는 약물의 존자에서 많다는 전파경로상의 특정 때문에 정신과 환자에서 일반 인구군보다 높을 것으로 추정되어 이를 확인해 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 1992년 12월 초부터 1994년 5월 말까지 정신과에 입원한 환자 중에서 무작위로 효소면역측정법 (Abbott HCV EIA kit) 에 의해서 혈청내 anti-HCV를 검사하였으며, anti-HCV 양성 환자와 anti-HCV 음성인 환자를 구분하여 여러 변인별로 비교 분석하였다. 정신과 입원환자 113명중 12명(10.6%) 에서 anti-HCV 양성이었다. anti-HCV 양성자중 간기능검사상 이상이 있는 경우가 50.0% 로서 이중 83.0%는 주정 의존자였으며, 간기능검사상 정상인 환자의 83.3%는 비주정의존자였다. 정신과 진단별 anti-HCV 양성율은 주정의존 환자의 22.2%, 정신증 환자의 2.3% (주로 양극성장애), 신경증(불안장애, 적응장애)환자의 22.2%에서 anti-HCV 양성이 나타났다. 연령, 출생계절, 임파구(%), 간기능 등 변인에 대한 유의한 상관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론적으로 정신과 입원환자는 정상 대조군 (3.0%)에 비해 최소한 3.5배 이상 anti-HCV 양성율이 높으므로 (P<0.05), 이에 대한 주의를 환기시킬 필요가 있다.

  • Silica is known as a promising osteoconductive material, and polycaprolactone is a bioactive and degradable material. The purpose of this study was to monitor the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the layer-built silica/poly caprolactone non-woven fabric produced by electrospinning. Non-woven fabric (silica, polycaprolactone, PSP, SPS) was made by electrospinning and they were inserted in the 48 well cell culture plate. MC3T3-E1 cells were prepared by subculture. Cells were seeded to each well $1{\times}10^5$ concentration per well. Dulbecco's modified eagle medium with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution was used. Confocal laser scanning microscope was taken 4 hours after incubation (95% air. 5% $CO_2$, $37^{\circ}C$). Cell proliferation was monitored by spectrophotometer on 1, 7, 14 days, and the morphology of the growing cells was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope. To monitor the differentiation of osteoblasts on the materials, MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated in 48 well culture plate after seeding with the density of $1{\times}10^5$ concentration. Then ELISA kit & EIA kit were used on to assess osteocalcin and osteopontin expression respectively. The other conditions were the same as above. MC3T3-E1 cells were proliferated well on all of the materials. There were no statistical differences among them. The osteopontin expression of silica, PSP, SPS was significantly higher than other groups on day 3 (p/0,05), but after that time, there were no statistically signigicant differences. The osteocalcin expression was significantly higher in silica and PSP than other groups on day 14. These findings show that PSP was as good as silica on the effect of osteoblast differentiation. The PSP non-woven fabric may have the possibility as bone graft materials.

  • Objective : This study was performed to investigate the anti-fibrogenic effect and changes of inflammation-related genes by YBR I and YBR II (YBR I: Arteisiae Capillaris Herba, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, Hoelen/ YBR II: YBR I +Sanguisorbae Radix, Biotae Cacumen, Cirsii Japonici Herba) on HSC(hepatic stellate cells)-T6 and TAA-induced rat liver tissue. Materials and Methods : HSC-T6 were treated with various concentrations of distilled-water extract YBR I and YBR II extract for 24, 48 and 72 hours. After the treatment, cell viability, proliferation, procollagen levels and IL-6 levels were measured by using MTT Assay, BrdU Assay, Procollagen Type 1 C-peptide EIA kit, and Murine IL-6 ELISA Development kit. Rat liver fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal TAA injection of 150mg/kg 3 times a week for 6 weeks. After the treatment, body weight, liver & spleen weights, liver function test, complete blood cell count and change of portal pressure were studied. In addition, gene expressions of ASMA, IL-6, MMP-2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, all of which are known to be associated with liver fibrosis, were analyzed by using Real-Time PCR. After YBR I and YBR IItreatment, percentages of collagen in TAA-induced rat liver tissue were measured. Results : The viability and proliferation of the HSC-T6 decreased as the concentration increased. The production of procollagen decreased as the concentration increased. The production of IL-6 was little influenced by YBR I and YBR II. There was no difference in rat body weight between the TAA-only group and the YBR groups. Compared with rat liver weight of TAA-only group, that of the YBR groups increased. In the YBR I group, the serum level of AST elevated by TAA injection significantly decreased and in the YBR I and II group, the serum level of ALP and ALT elevated by TAA injection decreased. In the YBR I group, white blood cell count elevated by TAA injection decreased but platelets increased. In the YBR I group, the portal pressure elevated by TAA injection significantly decreased. Decreases in the gene expression of ASMA and MMP-2 were observed in the YBR I group. The gene expression of IL-6 was little influenced by YBR I and YBR II -treated groups. In the histological finding, TAA injections caused severe fibrosis, but YBR I and YBR II treatment significantly reduced the amounts of hepatic collagens. Conclusions : These results suggest that YBR I and II have inhibitory effects on the hepatic fibrogenesis.

  • Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the anti-fibrogenic effect of Curcumae Longae Radix on human hepatic stellate cells. Materials and Methods: Hepatic stellate cells (LX-2) were treated with various concentrations of Curcumae Longae Radix extract for 24, 48, and 72 hours. It was extracted with distilled water. After the treatment, cell viability, proliferation, cell cycle analysis, procollagen levels and the mRNA of the ASMA, TIMPl, TIMP2, MMP2, collagen type la, PDGF-receptor-beta and TGF-beta were measured by using MTT assay, BrdU assay, RT-PCR, and procollagen type 1 C-peptide EIA kit. Results : The viability of HSCs decreased in the 48 hours group, and proliferation of HSCs decreased as the concentration increased. In the cell cycle analysis, Curcumae Longae Radix decreased the ratio of M phase, and increased the ratio of apoptosis, G0/G1 and S phase. In the RT-PCR, the mRNA expression of the collagen type la and ASMA decreased with the Curcumae Longae Radix treatment. The production of procollagen by the HSCs was decreased by the treatment of Curcumae Longae Radix with high dose. Conclusion : These results suggest that Curcumae Longae Radix is helpful in the treatment of liver fibrosis as well as liver cirrhosis.

  • Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the anti-fibrogenic effect of Artemisiae Capillaris Herba on cultured rat hepatic stellate cells. Materials and Methods : Hepatic stellate cells(HSC-T6) were treated with various concentrations of Artemisiae Capillaris Herba extract for 24 hours. The extraction was done either with distilled water or 50% EtOH. After the treatment, cell viability, proliferation, procollagen levels and the mRNA of the collagen type 1a2 and ASMA were measured by using MTT assay, BrdU assay, RT-PCR, and Procollagen Type I C-peptide EIA Kit. Results : The viability and proliferation of the hepatic stellate cells were decreased as the concentration increased. The mRNA expression decreased consistently with the volume of the secreted procollagen with the extraction made with distilled water, which indicates the herb has inhibitory effect on fibrogenesis of the liver by regulating one of the fibrosis associated genes in transcription. However, it increased in 50% EtOH extraction, which shows that a more stable reaction is expected of the extraction made with distilled water than the extraction made with 50% EtOH. The production of procollagen was decreased by a low-concentration treatment with Artemisiae Capillaris Herba, but increased by a high concentration. It seemed that the cells were responding to Artemisiae Capillaris Herba in low- concentrations, thus producing small amounts of collagen. When the drug was administered at high enough concentration to give direct toxicity to cells, the ability of cells to produce collagen was activated, and the overproduction of collagen was observed as an undesirable results. Conclusion : These results suggest that Artemisiae Capillaris Herba is beneficial in the treatment of cirrhotic patients as well as for the patients with chronic hepatitis when extracted with water in the proper concentrations.

  • Chromium is an essential nutrient and participates in glucose and lipid metabolism in human beings and animals. The present study was conducted to assess the effects of chromium picolinate (Cr-pic) on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in type I and ll diabetic rats. The experimental groups were type I diabetic (streptozotocin-induced: 40 mg/kg, i.p.) and type II diabetic (Goto-Kakizaki rats) models. Each group was subdivided into control. low-dose and high-dose of Cr-pic treated groups. The Cr-pic was orally administered with Cr-pic (100 mg/kg for low dose group and 200 mg/kg for high dose group) for 4 weeks. And then we performed intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and insulin sensitivity test (ITT). The glucose tolerance test was carried out by inection of glucose (2 g/kg, i.p.). The peripheral insulin sensitivity test was con- ducted by injection of insulin (5 units/kg, s.c.) and glucose. We performed determining of blood glucose concentration at 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min using automated glucose analyzer. The plasma insulin concentration was determined by rat insulin EIA kit. Administration of Cr-pic improved weight gain in all group s with higher significant in the low-dose group. There was no significance between the control and the Cr-pic treated groups in the area under the blood glucose curve and serum insulin concentration plots of IPGTT and peripheral ITT in type I diabetic rats. But Cr-pic treated groups showed significantly lower levels of the area under the blood glucose currie during IPGTT and ITT and the high-dose group showed less effects compared with the low-dose group in the type II diabetic rats. The plasma insulin concentration of both diabetic groups was not influenced by Cr-pic supplementation. We can conclude that chromium picolinate may improve the endogenous and exogenous insulin action and peripheral insulin sensitivity in type II diabetic rats.

  • Codium fragile (CF) is an edible green alga consumed as a traditional food source in Korea. In this study, the ethanol extract of CF was evaluated to determine if it has anti-inflammatory activity. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a toxin from bacteria, is a potent inducer of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ and interleukin (IL)-6. Therefore, we studied whether CF extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect in LPS-induced murine macrophage cell lines (RAW 264.7). In the present study, IL-6 production was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), prostaglandin $E_2$($PGE_2$) production was measured using the EIA kit, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation were determined by Western blot analysis. IL-6 mRNA, COX-2 mRNA and iNOS mRNA expression were measured using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results indicated that CF extracts inhibit LPS-induced IL-6, NO and PGE2 production in a dose-dependent manner, as well as expression of iNOS and COX-2. CF extracts significantly inhibited LPS-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2 phosphorylation. Taken together, these findings may help elucidate the mechanism by which CF modulates RAW 264.7 cell activation under inflammatory conditions.

  • Objectives: This study was performed to elucidate the effects of Danchisoyo-san (DS) on cell damage and gene expression in UVB-exposed dermal fibroblast. Methods: To demonstrate the inhibitory effects of DS on aging of the skin, we used human dermal fibroblast(F6) and UVB light(30 mJ/$cm^2$) was used to damage to dermal fibroblast. We measured the nitrite production, LDH release, and gene expression in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast to elucidate the actionmechanism of DS. Also, we evaluated the amount of increased PICP, TIMP-1 in dermal fibroblast. PICP, TIMP-1 concentration was measured using EIA kit, and gene expression (MMP-1, procollagen, c-fos, c-jun, NF-kB, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, iNOS) were determined using real-time PCR. Results: 1. DS inhibited LDH-release, nitrite production in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast. 2. DS suppressed the gene expression of MMP-1 in UVB-irradiated dermal fibroblast. 3. DS increased the gene expression of procollagen in UVB-iradiated dermal fibroblast. 4. DS suppressed the gene expression of c-jun, c-fos, NF-kB, iNOS in UVBirradiated dermal fibroblast. 5. DS increased the gene expression of Bcl-2 in UVB-iradiated dermal fibroblast. 6. DS increased the cell proliferation of dermal fibroblast. Conclusions: From the results, we concluded DS increases the cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in dermal fibroblast. So we suggest that DS has the antiwrinkle effects.
