  • Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of mortalities worldwide. The search for new therapeutic targets is of utmost importance for improved treatment. Altered expression of HDAC1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its requirement for liver formation in zebrafish, suggest that it may regulate key events in liver carcinogenesis and organogenesis. However, molecular mechanisms of HDAC1 action in liver carcinogenesis are largely unknown. The present study was conducted to identify HDAC1 interacting proteins in HepG2 cells using modified SH-double-affinity purification coupled with liquid mass spectrophotemetery. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were transfected with a construct containing HDAC1 with a C-terminal strepIII-HA tag as bait. Bait proteins were confirmed to be expressed in HepG2 cells by western blotting and purified by double affinity columns and protein complexes for analysis on a Thermo LTQ Orbitrap XL using a C18 nano flow ESI liquid chromatography system. Results: There were 27 proteins which showed novel interactions with HDAC1 identified only in this study, while 14 were among the established interactors. Various subunits of T complex proteins (TCP1) and prefoldin proteins (PFDN) were identified as interacting partners that showed high affinity with HDAC1 in HepG2 cells. Conclusions: The double affinity purification method adopted in this study was very successful in terms of specificity and reproducibility. The novel HDAC1 complex identified in this study could be better therapeutic target for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • Objective: The study aim was to prepare poly-DL-lactide-poly (PELA) microspheres encapsulating recombinant tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in an adenovirus to investigate its inhibition on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2. Methods: Microspheres were prepared by encapsulating the recombinant TIMP-1 adenovirus into biodegradable PELA. The particle size, viral load, encapsulation efficiency and in-vitro release were measured. Microspheres were used to infect HepG2 cells, then infection efficiency was examined under a fluorescent microscope and ultrastructural changes assessed by TEM. Expression of TIMP-1 mRNA in HepG2 cells was examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and proliferation by MTT and cell growth curve assays. Results: We successfully prepared microspheres encapsulating recombinant TIMP-1 adenovirus with a diameter of $1.965{\mu}m$, an encapsulation efficiency of 60.0%, a viral load of $10.5{\times}10^8/mg$ and approximate 60% of virus release within 120 h, the total releasing time of which was longer than 240 h. The microspheres were confirmed to be non-toxic with blank microspheres. Infected HepG2 cells could stably maintain in-vitro expression of TIMP-1, with significantly effects on biological behaviour Conclusion: PELA microspheres encapsulating a recombinant TIMP-1 adenovirus can markedly inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells, which provides an experimental basis for polymer/chemistry-based gene therapy of hepatocellular carcinomas.

  • The goal of this paper is that we know the usefulness of echo-planar imaging(EPI) for discriminate between hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and hemangioma. We get a time signal intensity curve for liver diseases from the dynamic contrast enhancement images and compared and analyze both the contrast ratio(CR) and the contrast to noise ratio(CNR) using echo planar imaging. The obtained results are follows : 1. Hepatocellular carcinoma was shown the best contrast after about 20 seconds when Is the earlist time in the main artery, and then reduced. The center where is disease was shown the characteristic that the best contrast is appeared after about 35-45 seconds and then slowly reduced. Liver parenchyma was shown the best contrast and reduced after 60 seconds. 2. The peripheral nodular of hemangioma was shown the better contrast soon. On the other hend, the contrast of center where is disease started to increase after 60 seconds and was equal to that of liver parenchyma. Increasing of the contrast continued after. 3. Turbo SE technic was used, the average of CR for hepatocellular carcinoma was $36.7{\pm}1.2$ and the average of CNR was $2.4{\pm}3.2$, while the average of CNR for hemangioma was $54.9{\pm}1.0$ and the average of CNR was $9.7{\pm}1.3$. 4. EPI technic was used, the average of CR for hepatocellular carcinoma was $47.8{\pm}1.2$ and the average of CNR was $3.4{\pm}2.1$, while the average of CNR for hemangioma was $75.7{\pm}2.2$ and the average of CNR was $9.5{\pm}1.1$. According to above we can find that hemangioma is more bright than hepatocellular carcinoma and the difference of brightness between hepatocellular carcinoma and hemangioma is useful sequence.

  • 녹비작물로서 녹비보리와 헤어리베치를 환원하고, 토양개량제로서 charcoal을 시용하여 생강연작 재배지에서 생강을 재배한 결과, 토양 pH가 시험 전 6.9~8.1에서 수확 후 6.8~7.6로 감소하였으며, 전기전도도(electrical conductivity, EC)는 한 시험 전 $0.45{\sim}1.25dSm^{-1}$에서 수확 후 $0.30{\sim}0.61dSm^{-1}$로 감소하였다. 토양유기물(soil organic matter, SOM) 함량과 토양 중 총질소(total-nitrogen, T-N) 함량은 증가하였다. 유효인산 함량과 치환성 K, Ca, Mg 함량은 유의성 있는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나, 토양 pH를 중성화시키고, EC 경감, SOM과 T-N 함량의 증가는 토양 화학성 변화에 있어 긍정적으로 평가할 수 있다. 생강양분의 함량적 차이를 정상근과 이병근의 함량 차이, 토양의 점토함량 별 양분 함량 차이로 조사한 결과, 유의성이 있는 결과를 얻었으며, 처리구별로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 망간(manganese, Mn)의 경우, 이병근의 지하부에서 3~4배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 망간(Mn)은 식물 뿌리에 대한 독성 작용으로 뿌리를 갈변시키고 균열을 일으키는 것으로 보고된바, 뿌리썩음병의 발생으로 Mn이 작용하여 이병근의 Mn 함량이 높은 것으로 보인다. 따라서, 뿌리썩음병과 Mn의 상관관계를 밝히는 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 생강 수확 후 생강 생육 상태와 생산량을 조사한 결과, 녹비보리, 헤어리베치, 녹비보리+charcoal, 헤어리베치+charcoal을 처리한 시험구(Plot 2, Plot 3, Plot 4, Plot 5)에서 생강의 생육상태가 양호하고 생산량이 높아 병발생률이 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 특히, Plot 4(헤어리베치+charcoal)-LCC에서는 100%의 생산량을 보였다. 녹비작물과 charcoal의 처리가 생강생육과 생산에 있어 긍정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 그리고, 상대적으로 점토함량이 낮은 처리구가 점토함량이 높은 처리구보다 생육 상태와 생산량에서 우세하였는데, 모래와 점토 함량 차이에 따른 배수와 토양의 수분보유력이 생강생육에 큰 영향을 준 것으로 판단된다.

  • 어성초가 자연발효에 의존할 경우 잡균 및 산막효모의 오염 및 발효기간이 오래 걸린다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 전통적인 방법으로 발효된 어성초 엑기스에서 야생효모를 분리하고, 어성초 추출물에서의 발효 특성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, $15^{\circ}Brix$ 당용액에서 알코올 함량은 배양시간이 길어질수록 증가하여 배양 90시간째에 HCE 12%, HCD 11.2%, HCA 10.5% 순으로 높았다. HCF, HCG, HCB, HCC는 알코올 함량이 $7.5{\sim}8.5%$ 사이였다. 당용액에서 알코올 생성능이 가장 높은 HCE와 HCD 균주를 어성초 분리효모로 선정하고, 어성초배지(어성초 착즙액:증류수(1:1)에서 기존 Saccharomyces 균주와 발효력 비교 검토 결과, pH는 발효 전 $4.09{\sim}4.12$에서 발효 후 $3.57{\sim}3.78$로, 당도는 발효전 $15.00{\sim}15.19$에서 $7.75{\sim}9.57$로 감소하였다. 산도는 발효전 $0.138{\sim}0.210$에서 발효 후 $0.282{\sim}0.450$으로 증가하였으며, 알코올 함량은 발효 후 $3.6{\sim}4.6$으로 어성초 분리균인 HCD와 HCE가 감, 사과 및 포도에서 분리한 DJ97, YJK, R12, RCY 보다 소폭 높았다. 발효된 어성초배양액은 어성초 특유의 강한 비린내가 감소하고 생성된 알코올로 인해향은 보통 수준 이상의 관능평가를 얻었으나, 맛은 보통 이하로 낮은 관능평가를 얻었다. 색은 최저 $4.75{\pm}1.44$, 최고 $6.85{\pm}1.63$으로 HCE가 관능항목 중 가장 높은 점수를 얻었다. 전반적인 기호도는 최저 $3.95{\pm}1.17$, 최고 $5.00{\pm}1.41$로 보통의 수준으로 이는 맛의 기호도가 충족되지 못하여 낮은 관능평가를 얻은 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, 색, 향, 맛, 전반적인 기호도에서 균주간의 유의성(p<0.05)은 인정되지 않았다. 어성초 특유의 비린내를 보완할 수 있는 부재료를 첨가하여 맛을 완화시킬 수 있다면 어성초를 이용한 약용주의 개발도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • This paper presents the design of closed loop controllers operating a single-phase AC-DC three-level converter for improving power quality at AC mains. Closed loop inhibits outer voltage controller and inner current controller. Simulations of three level converter with three different voltage and current controller combinations such as PI-Hysteresis, Fuzzy-Hysteresis and Fuzzy tuned PI-Hysteresis are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. Performance parameters such as input power factor and source current total harmonic distortion (THD) are considered for comparison of the three controller combinations. The fuzzy-tuned PI voltage controller with hysteresis current controller combination provides a better result, with a source-current THD of 0.93% and unity power factor without any source side filter for the three level converter. For load variations of 25% to 100%, a THD of less than 5% is obtained with a maximum value of only 1.67%. Finally, the fuzzy-tuned PI voltage with hysteresis controller combination is implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX25 FPGA board for experimental validation of power quality enhancement. A prototype 100 W, 0-24-48 V as output converter is considered for the testing of controller performance. A source-current THD of 1.351% is obtained in the experimental study with a power factor near unity. For load variations of 25% to 100%, the THD is found to be less than 5%, with a maximum value of only 2.698% in the experimental setup which matches with the simulation results.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze survival outcomes in 1,000 consecutive liver transplantations (LTs) performed at a single institution from 1993 to April 2017. Methods: The study population was divided into 2 groups based on donor type: deceased donor LT (DDLT; n = 181, 18.1%) and living donor LT (LDLT; n = 819; 81.9%), and into 3 periods based on the number of cases (first 300 cases, middle 300 cases, last 400 cases). Results: Infection was the most common cause of death, accounting for 34.8% (95 of 273). Mortality due to hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence occurred most frequently between 1 and 5 years after transplantation. Mortality rate by graft rejection was highest between 5 and 10 years after transplantation. And mortality by de novo malignancy occurred most frequently after 10 years after transplantation. The patient survival rates for the entire population at 5 and 10 years were 74.7%, and 68.6%, respectively. There was no difference in survival rate between the LDLT and DDLT groups (P = 0.188). Cause of disease, disease severity, case period, and retransplantation had a significant association with patient survival (P = 0.002, P = 0.031, P = 0.003, and P = 0.024, respectively). Conclusion: Surgical techniques and perioperative management for transplant patients have improved and undergone standardization. Controlling perioperative infection and managing patients with HCC as LT candidates will result in better outcomes.

  • [Purpose] Here, we aimed to determine the effect of Polygonum cuspidatum stem extract (PSE) on exorbital lacrimal gland-excised rat models and hyperosmotic stress-stimulated human conjunctival cells (HCCs). [Methods] Seven week old male Wistar rats were divided into six groups. Only the rats in the control group (NOR, n=5) did not undergo surgery. Three days after the surgery, the exorbital lacrimal gland-excised rats were randomly allocated to five groups: (1) vehicle-treated dry-eyed rats (DED, n=5); (2) PSE (10 mg/kg) treated DED rats (PSE-10, n=5); (3) PSE (100 mg/kg) treated DED rats (PSE-100, n=5); and (4) PSE (250 mg/kg) treated DED rats (PSE-250, n=5). In addition, the HCC line was co-treated with hyperosmolar media (528 mOsm) and PSE (1-100 μg/ml). [Results] PSE treatment restored the tear volume and goblet cell density by inhibiting severe corneal irregularities and damage. The treatment with PSE significantly attenuated the hyperosmolar stress-induced inflammation and cell death through the suppression of mRNA expression levels of Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and the expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) as well as the activation of caspase-3 in vitro. [Conclusion] The inhibitory effects of PSE treatment on dry eye disease indicate the potential of nutritional intervention by PES against inflammatory diseases without adverse effects.

  • 목 적: 간에 발생한 절제 불가능한 원발성 및 전이성 종양에서 토모테라피를 이용한 정위적 방사선치료를 시행하기 위해 사용된 복부압박장치의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2011년 11월부터 2012년 3월까지 토모테라피(Hi-Art Tomotherapy, USA)를 시행받기 위해 본원에 내원한 간암환자 중 복부압박장치(diaphragm control, elekta, sweden)를 사용하였을 때 움직임이 1 cm 이상 줄어든 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 4D CT (somatom sensation, siemens, germany)를 통해 치료계획영상과 4차원 단층촬영영상을 촬영하고, 육안적으로 보이는 종양과 종양의 움직임을 고려하여 육안적 종양체적(gross tumor volume, GTV)으로 설정하였고, GTV 주변으로 균일하게 5~7 mm의 여유를 주어 치료계획용 종양체적(planning target volume, PTV)으로 설정하였다. 손상위험장기(organs at risk) 중 십이지장, 위, 대장의 거리가 종양으로부터 최소 1 cm 이상인 환자들을 1군($d{\geq}1$)으로, 1 cm 미만인 환자들을 2군(d<1)으로 분류하고 각각 4~5회의 정위적 방사선치료와 20회의 방사선치료를 계획하였다. Mega-voltage computed tomograpy (MVCT)와 kilo-voltage computed tomograpy (KVCT)를 일차적으로 골격구조셋팅(bone-technique)으로 융합(fusion)한 뒤, 이차적으로 간을 보며 영상을 재조정 하였다. 치료 후 얻은 MVCT 영상을 영상변형이 가능한 Mim_vista (Mimsoftware, ver. 5.4 USA)로 보내고, 간을 비교하여 다시 묘사(delineate)하고, 손상위험장기 중 십이지장, 위, 소장, 대장을 합쳐서 대장장기(bowel_organ)로 정의하여 다시 묘사하였다. 보정방사선 치료계획시스템을 통하여 보정영상의 치료계획 선량과 보정된 선량의 차이를 평가하였다. 첫 번째, 치료 시작일부터 각각 1군($d{\geq}1$)은 4회, 2군(d<1)은 10회까지의 MVCT와 KVCT간의 영상 융합을 통한 셋업오차를 분석하였다. 두 번째, 보정영상에서 종양 즉, GTV, PTV의 치료계획선량과 보정선량의 3%의 선량차이를 나타내는 체적($V_{diff3%}$)과 5%의 선량차이를 나타내는 체적($V_{diff3%}$)을 비교하였고, 손상위험장기 중 대장장기의 최대선량의 차이율을 비교하였다. 결 과: MVCT를 통해 분석한 평균 셋업오차는 $-0.66{\pm}1.53$ mm (좌-우), $0.39{\pm}4.17$ mm (상-하), $0.71{\pm}1.74$ mm (전-후), $-0.18{\pm}0.30$ degrees (roll)였다. 1군($d{\geq}1$)과 2군(d<1)의 셋업오차는 유사하였다. 1군($d{\geq}1$)에서 보정방사선 치료계획을 통한 $V_{diff3%}$ 중 GTV는 $0.78{\pm}0.05%$, PTV는 $9.97{\pm}3.62%$, $V_{diff5%}$ 중 GTV는 0.0%, PTV는 $2.9{\pm}0.95%$, 대장장기의 최대선량의 차이율은 $-6.85{\pm}1.11%$였다. 2군(d<1)에서 $V_{diff3%}$ 중 GTV는 $1.62{\pm}0.55%$, PTV는 $8.61{\pm}2.01%$, $V_{diff5%}$ 중 GTV는 0.0%, PTV는 $5.33{\pm}2.32%$, 대장장기의 최대선량의 차이율은 $28.33{\pm}24.41%$였다. 결 론: 복부압박장치를 통한 간암의 방사선치료시 MVCT를 통한 환자 셋업오차는 평균 ${\pm}5$ mm 이하였고, 복부 압박장치를 사용하고 투시영상을 통해 확인한 횡경막의 움직임이 최소 5 mm 이상이라는 것을 감안하면, 환자 셋업오차는 그 안에 있음을 알 수 있었다. 1군($d{\geq}1$)과 2군(d<1)에서 GTV, PTV의 선량차이율은 오차범위 안에 있었고, 1군($d{\geq}1$)과 2군(d<1)의 대장장기 최대선량의 차이율은 최대 35% 이상의 차이를 보였고, 1군($d{\geq}1$)이 2군(d<1)보다 오차범위가 작았다. 따라서 간내 종양과 손상위험장기의 거리가 최소 1 cm 이상 유지된다면 정위적 방사선치료를 진행함에 복부압박장치가 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • To evaluate efficacy of microwave ablation in a primary clinical study, sixty patients (44 men, 16 women; mean age 53 years) with 96, 1-8 cm (mean $3.20{\pm}0.17$ cm) liver cancers were treated with 2,450-MHz internally cooled-shaft antenna. Complete ablation (CA) and local tumor progression (LTP) rates as well as complications were determined. CA rates in small (< 3.0 cm), intermediate (3.1-5.0 cm) and large (5.1-8.0 cm) liver cancers were 96.4% (54/56), 92.3% (24/26) and 78.6% (11/14), respectively. During a mean follow-up period of $17.17{\pm}6.52$ months, LTP occurred in five (5.21%) treated cases. There was no significant difference in the CA and LTP rates between the HCC and liver metastasis patient subgroups (P<0.05). Microwave ablation provides a reliable, efficient, and safe technique to perform hepatic tumor ablation.
