  • The emergence of vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) raises risk of possible adverse events from interaction between the vaccines and facial aesthetic care. A 47-year-old female with no medical comorbidities visited our emergency room due to midface painful swelling after 3 hours following receiving the second dose of the messenger RNA BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine. About 14 years ago, she underwent nonsurgical augmentation on the nasojugal groove with a calcium hydroxylapatite dermal filler. We performed incision and drainage under general anesthesia on the next day. During operation, yellowish pus-like materials bulged out. After an operation, we performed a combination therapy with antibiotics and methylprednisolone. Her symptoms improved day by day after surgery, and then a complete recovery was achieved at 3 weeks after the treatment. In conclusion, providers of aesthetic procedures are to be aware of the potential risks of such vaccines for patients who already had or seek to receive dermal filler injections.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the healing process of the calvarial defect filled with hydroxylapatite(HA) and $TGF-{\beta}$ in Rat. 72 Sprague-Dawly rats were divided into 3 groups, control and two experimental groups. Bony defect were artificially prepared in the calvaria of all 72 rats and followed by implantation of HA (experimental group of 24 rats) and HA+$TGF-{\beta}$(another experimental group of 24 rats) into the defects. Sequential sacrifice was performed at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks of experiment. Obtained specimen was stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's Trichrome and Immunohistochemistry. The results were as follows, 1. Granulation tissue was prominent on control group in 1 and 2 weeks. Bony defects were filled with dense fibrous tissue through the whole experimental period and osteoinduction could not be observed in all groups. 2. Inflammatory cell infiltration was prominent on control group in 1 and 2 weeks and osteoclastic activity was high in HA implanted experimental group at 1 and 2 weeks. 3. Inflammatory cell infiltration was less and maturation of fibrous tissue could be found on HA+$TGF-{\beta}$ implanted experimental group at 1 and 2 weeks. 4. Osteoconduction activity was high in HA+$TGF-{\beta}$ implanted experimental group at 2 and 4 weeks but there was no difference after 6 weeks among 3 groups. 5. In grafted site of HA+$TGF-{\beta}$ implanted group, osteonectin expression was slightly increased from 1 week to 6 weeks. In the host site, it was increased from 1 to 4weeks. 6. In grafted site of HA+$TGF-{\beta}$ implanted group, osteocalcin expression was high at 4 weeks. In the host site, we could find the difference among 3 groups. From above results, the HA with mixture of $TGF-{\beta}$ has the potentiality of promoting bone formation in the bony defect area in the rat.

  • Human lipocorin-I(LCI) is a calcium ion-dependent and phospholipid-binding protein which exhibits an anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting phospholipase A2 activity. In this study, the LCI gene containing its own terminator region was joined to GAL10 promoter-ppL (prepro-leader sequence of mating factor a). An ATG start codon of LCI gene was placed at downstream with KR endoprotease recognition site(Lys-Arg) of ppL. Recombinant S. cerevisiae harboring the LCI expression/secretion vector, pYGLPT5, was aerobicall grown on a liquid YPDG medium al $30^{\circ}C$ for 72hys. The whole cell and culture supernatant were separated after centrifugation, and the expressed LCI was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting methods. A majority fraction of the expressed LCI was found to be accumulated in the intracellular fraction, resulting in very low secretion efficiency of about 7.4%. About $500mg/\ell$ of LCI was extracellularly produced by the fed-batch culture employing the controlledfeeding of glucose and galactose. The secreted LCI was purified by ultrafiltration and hydroxylapatite column chromatography, and a purity of more than 99% was obtained.

  • The effects of CRP purified from human ascites fluid on phagocytic activity of the human macrophage were investigated. CRP was purified using affinity chromatography including absorption on p-diazonium phosphocholine or C-polysaccharide coupled sepharose 4B and gel filtration on hydroxylapatite column chromatography. Macrophage was separated ficoll hypaque gradient density and absorption method, and then was confirmed phagocytic uptake test using latex method. CRP was able either to inhibit or to enhance phagocytic activity of human macrophage against bacteria in vitro. The effects of CRP on phagocytic activity of human macrophage were in time and dose-dependent manners. The additional sequence of reaction mixture against bacteria in vitro shows a threshold stimulus on the activation of phagocytic response upon the CRP.

  • Chitobiase from Aeromonas salmonicida YA7-625 was purified from culture broth through ammonium sulfate precipitation, chitin affinity adsorption, hydroxylapatite column chromatography and gel filtration, with 47.2% yield and 31.5 fold purity. The molecular weight of purified chitobiase was 15,000 daltons, and the chitobiase showes maximum activity at the condition of at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0. The effects of various metal ions and inhibitors show thatcystein, glutamic acid, serine, tryptophan, and tyrosine residues seem to be concerned in chitobiase activity.

  • Acc I endonuclease has been isolated from 300g (wet weight) cells of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The cells were broken by using French press at 20, 000p.s.i. After ammonium sulfate fractionation, the enzyme was further purified by heparin agarose, DEAE-sephades, Affi.-gel Blue, phosphocellulose, and hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The purified Acc I endonudlease has a single polypeptide species and its subunit molecular weight was 45,000 ${\pm}$ 1,000 daltons as judged by 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isolated enzyme was essentially free of contaminating nucleases as judged by homochromatography by using a $^{32}P-labeled$ oligonucleotide. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH values between 8.0 and 11.0 and in the presence of $MgCl_2$. Acc I endonuclease was maximally active in the absence of NaCl and was completely inhibited at 200 mM NaCl.
