Previous studies report that organo-sulfur compounds derived from garlic inhibited smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and induced apoptosis of cancer cells. Recently, lipid-soluble compounds such as diallyl sulfides (DAS) and diallyl disulfides (DADS) have been reported to more effectively suppress tumor cell proliferation. However, there were few studies on the suppressive effects of lipid-soluble garlic sulfur compounds on the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Therefore, this study investigated the effect of DAS and DADS on VSMC proliferation/migration induced by oleic acid (OA), a principal fatty acid in circulating triglyceride of blood stream. Assays performed include a tetrazole (MTT) assay, a wound healing assay and a Western blots. VSMC proliferations were enhanced by OA in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of $10{\sim}50\;{\mu}M$ and inhibited by DAS and DADS compared to non-treated control. OA-induced proliferations were also attenuated by DAS and DADS. OA-induced cell migrations were 2.5 times higher than non-treated control, and they were significantly attenuated by DAS (32% at $150\;{\mu}M$ and 50% at $200\;{\mu}M$) and DADS (40% at $150\;{\mu}M$ and 46% at $200\;{\mu}M$). OA-induced cell migration was also attenuated by PD98059 (ERK inhibitor), SB203580 (P38 inhibitor) and particularly by LY204002 (PI3K inhibitor) and SP600125 (JNK2 inhibitor). Additionally, Western blot assays showed that OA-induced JNK1/2-phosphorylation was down-regulated after treatment with DAS and DADS. In conclusion, the findings of our study support the idea that DAS and DADS may have a suppressive effect on the proliferation and migration of OA-induced VSMC and that this effect may be partly associated with PI3K and JNK2 pathways.

동충하초 20여종의 균사와 배양 배지를 이용하여 생물학적 활성 효과를 항산화와 항암 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 항산화 활성 실험 DPPH와 FRAP실험을 실시하였는데 다수의 동충하초 추출물에서 항산화 활성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 시간에 따른 FRAP활성에서는 배양배지에서 균사체 추출물보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. NOS와 관련성을 확인하기 위하여 NO활성 실험을 한 결과 NO활성은 추출물의 종류에 따라 증가 또는 감소시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 염증과의 관련성을 확인하기 위하여 Cox-2 promoter활성실험을 한 결과, 종에 따라 활성의 증가 또는 감소는 다양하게 나타났다. Wound healing assay를 이용하여 항암효과를 알아본 결과 많은 종에서 세포의 운동성을 억제하는 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 혈관생성 억제효과를 알아보기 위하여 HUVECs를 이용하여 tube formation을 확인해 본 결과 다수의 추출물에서 혈관생성을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 알코올을 이용하여 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델을 확립하고 설정된 동물모델을 대상으로 비타민 E 투여 수준(결핍 0 mg/mL oil/day, 정상 1 mg/mL oil/day, 보충 10 mg/mL oil/day)에 따른 위궤양 치유효과를 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 비타민 E를 투여시킨 기간은 총 7일로서 위의 조직학적 검사, 혈청의 gastrin 농도, 위 조직의 histamine 농도, 위 조직 내의 항산화 효소인 GPx 활성도와 catalase 농도 및 MPO 활성도를 측정하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 만성군에서 식이섭취량과 15% 에탄올 식수섭취량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 체중증가량은 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 급성군에 비해 만성군에서 위 무게가 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 급성군에서 다량의 출혈과 선상의 괴사가 나타났으며 비타민 E 결핍군 또한 약간의 출혈과 선상의 궤양이 남아있었으나 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군의 경우 출혈이나 궤양은 관찰되지 않았다. 혈청 gastrin의 경우 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 높았으며 비타민 E 투여수준에 따라 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 또한 위 조직에서 histamine 농도는 급성군보다 만성군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만 만성군에서 비타민 E의 투여수준에 따른 histamine 농도의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 위 조직에서의 MDA 농도는 비타민 E 결핍군과 정상군에 비해 보충군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며 급성과 만성유도에 따른 MDA 농도 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 대표적인 항산화 효소인 GPx와 catalase의 경우 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 위 조직에서의 MPO 활성도는 비타민 E 결핍군에 비해 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 알코올로 유도한 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델에서 비타민 E의 보충은 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 비타민 E 보충은 혈청 gastrin 농도를 감소시켜 위에서의 산 분비를 감소시키며 또한 위 조직 내의 MPO 활성도를 감소시켜 proinflammatory cytokine을 방출을 억제시키고 결과적으로 위 세포내로의 호중구 침투를 감소시켜 위궤양 치유과정을 촉진시키는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 비타민 E의 결핍상태보다 비타민 E를 보충하였을 때 빠른 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 평소 권장량을 충족시킬 수 있는 비타민 E의 충분한 식이섭취가 중요하다고 생각한다.

As a wonderful food can make people recover of disease, listen to delightful music can be a healthy way of healing our emotions. People tend to listen to glad music when they want to progress their mood because peculiar qualities comprised in that music entertain us and promote emotional state. Tae-yong Jeon is a creative destroyer and an out-of-box singer on Changbu-taryung. He has a good command of melody and rhythm. And he was singing with diverse and sweet tunes. That is where he is at his strongest. He rejected the conventional singing that would confine him to particular skill. As if he does enjoy the pleasure of his own cooking. The author recommend you listen to delightful and shapeshifter music when you often feel stressed out. This article indicates that Changbu-taryung may have beneficial effect on stress management.

A serious case of the stomach ulcer was cured completely through a dietery treatment. The patient was listed as one of worse cases by the doctors. The patient refused to accept doctors' advises to have al surgical operation and sticked to his idea of dietetics. The doctors openly expressed their scepticism to a successful out come of a dietery treatment. However, it has been a success. A special ulcer diet menu prepared for the patient was based on those principles as follow: 1. Ulcer diet contained high protein (70g/day) and high energy (2,000cal/day). 2. To maintain a minimum degree of pressure on digestive process of the stomach, several small meals more than three times a day were served. Fat was avoided except that contained in milk and small amount of butter on toast. 3. To help to neutralize acid of the stomach, ample amount of milk was served. 4. Irritating food and beverage were prohibited. It was concluded that milk was one of the best diet for a peptic ulcer patient, for it could neutralize acid of the stomach as well as could provide ample amount of high protein which expedite healing craters formed by the stomach or duodenal ulcer. It was reported that most of unsucessful peptic ulcer cases of the local patients could be attributed to their failure in observance of an ulcer diet during their dietery treatment period, particularly their unfriendly attitude toward a milk diet.

A wild juvenile bean goose (Anser fabalis serrirostris) was rescued after sustaining an extensive degloving injury around the neck and chin region. Except for the degloving injury, physical and radiographic examination detected no other trauma-induced abnormality. On the day of presentation to the hospital, the patient underwent extensive debridement and suturing. A twice-daily force feeding with diluted parrot weaning food was required during the hospitalization due to severe anorexia. On day 18, the bean goose was moved to the aviary to undergo rehabilitation and feeding by itself. Management of the severe degloving injury of the cervical region with medical intervention and nutritional assistance was successful in this case, and the results of this case shows the proper management can be implemented to produce satisfactory outcomes.

Hydrogels from a mixture of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and microorganism fermentation celluose were prepared by $^{60}Co$ gamma-ray irradiation. PVP and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan were mixed with the different ratios. Microorganism fermentation celluose were added to the mixture of PVP and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan to evaluate the effect of microorganism fermentation celluose on the gel strength. The gel strength of the hydrogel was evaluated for application of a wound dressing. The results showed that gelation and gel strength were increased with increasing the content of the microorganism fermentation celluose.

Latilactobacillus curvatus BYB3 (BYB3) is a species of lactic acid bacteria, formerly named Lactobacillus curvatus, which is isolated from kimchi. In this study, the effect of BYB3, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, and Lactobacillus acidophilus GP1B strain extracts at various concentrations was examined on B16F10, a mouse melanoma cell line. Cell viability was examined via MTT assay, and the results indicated that compared to the other two probiotics, BYB3 significantly decreased the total percentages of viable cells. The effects of BYB3 on cell migration and proliferation in B16F10 cells were evaluated using wound healing mobility and proliferation assays, respectively; the results indicated that BYB3 inhibits cell migration and proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Using human dermal fibroblast cells to investigate BYB3 extract in vivo had no effect on skin-related cells. Nonetheless, the BYB3 extract inhibited tumor growth in a mouse model, as demonstrated by liver slices. Therefore, this suggests that using BYB3 extract to inhibit melanoma may be a novel approach.
