Sagunjatang (Sagunja), containing Radix Astragali, Radix Ginseng, Fructus Schizandrae, Radix Ophiopogonis and Radix Glycyrrhizae, has been used as a prescription for ischemic heart and brain diseases in Korean traditional medicine. This study was designed to investigate the protective mechanisms of Sagunja on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity of H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Treatment with $H_2O_2$ resulted in death of H9c2 cells, characterized by apparent apoptotic features, including the fragmentation of nucleus and increase in sub-GO/G1fraction of cell cycle. However, Sagunja markedly suppressed the apoptotic characteristics of H9c2 cells induced by $H_2O_2$ with decrease of intracellular peroxide level. In addition, Sagunja suppressed the features of mitochondrial dysfunction, including change of mitochondrial membrane potential, in $H_2O_2$- treated cells. Additionally, Sagunja induced the expression of HO-1 protein in both time-and dose-dependent manner. The role of HO-1 in ROS-scavenging activity of Sagunja is proposed.

The water extract of Boyanghwanoh-tang has been used for treatment of ischemic vascular disease in oriental medicine. However, little is known about the mechanism by which the water extract of Boyanghwanoh-tang rescues cells from these damages. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of Boyanghwanoh-tang on zinc-mediated cytotoxicity in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells. This study demonstrates that, after treatment of H9c2 cells with zinc, there was a decrease in cell viability in a dose dependent manner, and there was a chromatin condensation. Zinc induced the change of cell morphology. In addition, zinc induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Zinc-induced H9c2 cell death was remarkably prevented by the pretreatment of Boyanghwanoh-tang consistently with increase of the peroxoredoxin 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 expression. Taken together, the results suggest that zinc induced severe cell death in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells, and that protective effects of Boyanghwanoh-tang against oxidative injuries are achieved through regulation of peroxiredoin expression.

대구 치어(평균 36.5 g)의 수온 (9, 11 그리고 $13^{\circ}C$)에 따른 절식 (fasting)과 식후(post-prandial) 총암모니아성 질소 (total ammonia nitrogen, TAN) 배설의 일간 패턴과 배설률을 조사하였다. 실험어는 10일 이상 실험 수온에서 순치한 후 각 실험 수온 조건의 암모니아 배설 측정 시스템으로 옮겨 TAN 배설률을 측정하였다. 절식 TAN 배설은 72시간 절식 후 측정하였고, 식후 TAN 배설은 상품 사료(단백질 함량 40.6%)를 하루에 두 번(08:00, 16:00h), 7일간 공급한 뒤 측정하였다. 실험어 사육수조 유입수와 배출수를 2시간 간격으로 24시간 동안 채수하여 TAN을 분석하였으며, 모든 실험 조건은 3반복으로 실시하였다. 절식 및 식후 TAN 배설 모두 수온 상승에 따라 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 절식 시 시간당 평균 TAN 배설률은 수온 9, 11 그리고 $13^{\circ}C$에서 각각 9.3, 11.0 그리고 $11.9mg\;TAN\;kg\;fish^{-1}\;h^{-1}$이었고, $11^{\circ}C$와 $13^{\circ}C$가 $9^{\circ}C$에 비해 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 식후 시간당 평균 TAN 배설률의 경우 수온 9, 11 그리고 $13^{\circ}C$에서 각각 23.0, 31.6 그리고 $45.4\;mg\;TAN\;kg\;fish^{-1}\;h^{-1}$으로 나타났다. 최대 평균 TAN 배설률은 최초 사료 공급 10시간 후 나타났으며, 수온 9, 11 그리고 $13^{\circ}C$에서 각각 38.0, 52.9 그리고 $77.5\;mg\;TAN\;kg\;fish^{-1}\;h^{-1}$이였다. 수온 9, 11 그리고 $13^{\circ}C$에서 섭취한 질소에 대한 TAN 배설 비율은 각각 43.9, 46.4 그리고 48.4%로 나타나 $11^{\circ}C$와 $13^{\circ}C$가 $9^{\circ}C$에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 수온은 대구 치어의 질소 대사에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives In this study, we investigated the biodegradation features of 4 perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) alternatives developed at Changwon National University compared to those of PFOS. Methods Biodegradation testing was performed with microorganisms cultured in the good laboratory practice laboratory of the Korea Environment Corporation for 28 days following the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines for the testing of chemicals (Test No. 301 C). Results While $C_8F_{17}SO_3Na$, PFOS sodium salt was not degraded after 28 days, the 4 alternatives were biodegraded at the rates of 20.9% for $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$, 8.4% for $C_{17}F_9H_{25}S_2O_8Na_2$, 22.6% for $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and 23.6% for $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}O_{13}S_3Na_3$. Conclusions $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}S_3O_{13}Na_3$, $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$ were superior to PFOS in terms of biodegradation rates and surface tension, and thus they were considered highly applicable as PFOS alternatives. Environmental toxicity, human toxicity, and economic feasibility of these compounds should be investigated prior to their commercialization.

Ischemia-reperfusion results in excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) that affect myocardial cell damage. ROS production inhibition is effectively proposed in treating cardiovascular diseases including myocardial hypertrophy. Studies have shown that oxidizing cultured cells in in vitro experiments gradually decreases the permeability of mitochondrial membranes time- and concentration-dependent, resulting in increased mitochondrial membrane damage due to secondary ROS production and cardiolipin loss. However, recent studies have shown that 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone (INH₂BP), an anticancer and antiviral drug, inhibited peroxynitrite-induced cell damage in in vitro and alleviated partial or overall inflammation in animal experiments. Therefore, in this paper, we studied the preventive effect of INH₂BP on H9c2 cells derived from mouse heart damaged by oxidative stress using 700 μM of hydrogen peroxide. As a result of oxidative stress to H9c2 cells by hydrogen peroxide whether the treatment of INH₂BP or not, hydrogen peroxide caused serious damage in H9c2 cells. These results were confirmed with cell viability and Hoechst 33342 assays. And this damage was through cell death. However, it was confirmed that H9c2 cells pretreated with INH₂BP significantly reduced cell death by hydrogen peroxide. In addition, measurements with DCF-DA assay to determine whether ROS is produced in H9c2 cells treated with only hydrogen peroxide produced ROS significantly, but H9c2 cells pretreated with INH₂BP significantly reduced ROS production by hydrogen peroxide. Taken together, it is believed that INH₂BP can be useful for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases induced through oxidative stress such as heart damage caused by ischemia/reperfusion.

To study the effect of nicorandil pretreatment on ketone body metabolism and Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (ACAT1) activity in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes. In our study, we applied H9c2 cardiomyocytes cell line to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of nicorandil. We detected mitochondrial viability, cellular apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and calcium overloading in H9c2 cells that exposed to H/R-induced cytotoxicity. Then we evaluated whether nicorandil possibly regulated ketone body, mainly ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetoacetate (ACAC), metabolism by regulating ACAT1 and Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferase 1 (OXCT1) protein and gene expressions. Nicorandil protected H9c2 cardiomyocytes against H/R-induced cytotoxicity dose-dependently by mitochondria-mediated anti-apoptosis pathway. Nicorandil significantly decreased cellular apoptotic rate and enhanced the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax expressions. Further, nicorandil decreased the production of ROS and alleviated calcium overloading in H/R-induced H9c2 cells. In crucial, nicorandil upregulated ACAT1 and OXCT1 protein expressions and either of their gene expressions, contributing to increased production of cellular BHB and ACAC. Nicorandil alleviated cardiomyocytes H/R-induced cytotoxicity through upregulating ACAT1/OXCT1 activity and ketone body metabolism, which might be a potential mechanism for emerging study of nicorandil and other $K_{ATP}$ channel openers.

$[(C_2B_9H_{11})Mo(CO)_3]_2PPN_2$ $(2{\cdot}PPN_2)$, a new precursor for the oxidative decarbonylation reaction, was synthesized in high yield by the one-electron oxidation reaction of $[(C_2B_9H_{11})Mo(CO)_3]PPN_2$. $2{\cdot}PPN_2$ was structurally characterized, showing a dimeric nature with long (3.321 ${\AA}$) Mo-Mo bonding. Reaction of $2{\cdot}PPN_2$ with sulfur gave the completely decarbonylated product $[(C_2B_9H_{11})Mo({\mu}-S)(S)]_2PPN_2$ ($3{\cdot}PPN_2$). The ligand substitution of the terminal sulfur ligands in $3{\cdot}PPN_2$ to oxygen ligands was carried out with the use of PhIO to give $[(C_2B_9H_{11})Mo({\mu}-S)(O)]_2PPN_2$ ($4{\cdot}PPN_2$). The structures of $3{\cdot}PPN_2$ and $4{\cdot}PPN_2$ were also studied.
