  • The genus Gonia (Diptera: Tachinidae) is revised for the Korean species. We recognize four previously known species (G. chinensis, G. divisa, G. foersteri, and G. klapperichi), three newly recorded species in Korea (G. distinguenda, G. olgae, and G. ussuriensis) and a species new to science (G. nigricoma Lee and Han, sp. nov.). We here provide a key, descriptions, photographs and illustrations. We also inferred the phylogenetic relationships of the representative Palaearctic species using cladistic method.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate antioxidant effects of curcumin from Curcumae Longae Radix. Methods : Using HepG2 Iiver-like cells, the antioxidant effects of curcumin, one of main components from Curcumae Longae Radix, and its analogues have been evaluated by measuring their effects on cytotoxicity induced by $H_2O_2$. Results : The pre-incubation for 6 hours with curcumin, bis-demethoxycurcumin, or dimethoxycurcumin protected HepG2 cells from $H_2O_2$-induced toxicity in a dose-dependent manner. However, tetrahydrocurcumin, one of curcumin metabolites, did not protect HepG2 cells from $H_2O_2$-induced toxicity. Interestingly, curcumin, bis-demethoxycurcumin, and dimethoxycurcumin were increased in the protein levels of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) at concentrations that were also effective in cellular protection. In contrast, tetrahydrocurcumin did not induce HO-1 expression. Tin protoporphyrin-IX, an inhibitor of HO-1 activity, significantly abolished cytoprotection afforded by curcumin, bis-demethoxycurcumin and dimethoxycurcumin. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that curcumin, bis-demethoxycurcumin, and dimethoxycurcumin with two conjugated doble bonds on their structures may reduce $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress through HO-1 expression. HO-1 induction may be one of antioxidant pathways by which curcumin protects from oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity.

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma is the world's most common primary malignant tumor of the liver. In-Jin-ho-Tang (IJHT) has been used as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine since ancient times, and today it is widely used as a medication for jaundice associated with inflammation of the liver. In-Jin-Ho-Tang is a drug preparation consisting of three herbs: Artemisiae Capillaris Herba (Artemisia capillaries $T_{HUNS}$, Injinho in Korean), Gardeniae Fructus (Gardenia jasminodes $E_{LLIS}$, Chija in Korean) and Rhei radix et rhizoma (Rheum palmatum L., Daehwang in Korean). This study investigated whether or not methanol extract of IJHT could induce HepG2 cancer cell death. Cytotoxic activity of IJHT on HepG2 cells was measured using an XTT assay, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $700{\mu}g/ml$ at 24 h Apoptosis induction by IJHT in HepG2 cells was verified by the cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase, and a decrease in procaspase-3, -8, -9. Treatment of IJHT resulted in the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\Psi}_m$), decrease in anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, and an increase in pro-apoptotic Bax expression. Thus, IJHT induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells via activation of caspase and mitochondria pathway. These results indicate that IJHT has potential as an anti-cancer agent.

  • 원발성 면역 결핍증에는 항체형성에 영향을 주는 질환이 가장 흔하고 그중 선택적으로 분비성 IgA 결핍이 많으나 IgG 농도가 정상 혹은 증가되어 있는 어떤 환자에서는 4가지의 IgG 아형 중에서 한 두 개 이상의 결핍이 발견된다. 대부분의 환자, 특히 IgG4 결핍증 환자에서 폐구균, 포도구균, 헤모필루스균 등에 의한 부비동염, 중이염, 폐렴 등이 반복된다. 상기 10세 여아는 평소에 잦은 상기도 감염을 앓아 왔고, 결핵성 림프절염으로 약물요법을 시행한 병력이 있으며, 매년 2~3차례 폐렴으로 입원치료를 받아왔다. 키와 몸무게가 모두 3백분위수 미만으로 성장부전(growth failure)가 지속되었다. 2003년 9월 심한 폐렴으로 입원 치료 중에 면역결핍 검사를 시행하였다. IgG, IgM level은 정상이었으나 IgG subclass 2, 3, 4에서 모두 감소된 수치를 보여 IgG 아형 결핍을 보였다. 저자들은 반복적인 호흡기 질환을 앓는 환아에서 성장부전이 동반된 IgG 아형 결핍 1례를 보고하는 바이다.

  • For the propose of the quality control of Torilis Fructus, one major compound was isolated by several column chromatograpies and identified by its spectral data as torilin (8,11-dihydroxy-8-angeloyl-11-acetyl-4-guaien-3-one). A quantitative analysis of torilin using HPLC method showed that the average contents at 230 and 254 nm were $7.167{\pm}0.168mg/g\;and\;7.052{\pm}0.160mg/g$, respectively, in 18 samples collected throughout the regions of Korea and China. This method provided a tool for standardization of the commercial Torilis Fructus.
