Diabetic ulcer is usually seen in people with uncontrolled blood sugar. Reportedly, many factors such as impaired glucose metabolism, and macrovascular and microvascular diseases caused angiogenesis disorders and delayed the healing of diabetic ulcers, thus affecting the body's metabolism, nutrition, and immune function. This study aimed to explore the effect of paeonol on skin wound healing in diabetic rats and the related mechanism. A rat model of diabetic ulcer was established. High glucose-treated mouse skin fibroblasts were co-cultured with M1 or M2-polarized macrophages treated with or without paeonol. H&E and Masson staining were used to reveal inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition, respectively. Immunohistochemistry visualized the expression of Ki67, CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Western blot was used to detect interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-4, IL-10, CD31, VEGFA, and collagen I/III. The expression of iNOS and arginase 1 was revealed by immunofluorescence staining. Paeonol treatment augmented collagen deposition and the expression of Ki67, CD31, VEGF, and macrophage M2 polarization markers (IL-4 and IL-10) and reduced wound area, inflammatory cell infiltration, and macrophage M1 polarization markers (IL-1β and TNF-α) in the ulcerated area. In vitro, paeonol treatment promoted M2-polarization and repressed M1-polarization in macrophages, thereby improving the repair of cell damage induced by high glucose. Paeonol accelerates the healing of diabetic ulcers by promoting M2 macrophage polarization and inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization.

콩을 소재로한 전통 발효식품으로부터 혈전용해능이 뛰어난 균주를 분리하였으며, B. subtilis로 동정되었다. 따라서 이를 B. subtilis IDCC 9204(특허균주기탁: KCTC-11471 BP), 그 혈전용해 효소는 NK-IL9204로 명명하였다. B. subtilis IDCC 9204가 생산하는 고역가의 NK-IL9204를 단백질 분석법에 기초하여 분석한 결과, 분자량은 27.7 kDa의 homogenous enzyme으로 확인되었다. 또한 기존에 알려진 일본의 발효식품인 낫도 유래의 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase 와의 sequence 분석을 진행한 결과, 99.5% homology가 일치하는 serine protease계열의 nattokinase로 확인되었다. 그러나 NK-IL9204는 물리 화학적인 조건에서 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase와 다소 차이를 나타내었으며 본 실험에서는 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase보다 상대적으로 높은 열 안정성과 pH 안정성을 나타내었다. In vitro 실험에서 NK-IL9204는 최적 반응온도 $40^{\circ}C$, 열 안정성은 $90^{\circ}C$까지 효소활성을 유지하였으며, 최적 반응 pH는 pH 8로 알칼리-혈전용해효소의 특성을 나타내었으며, 약산성에서 강알칼리 영역까지 넓은 pH 구간 안정성을 갖는 것이 특징이다. NKIL9204의 in vivo에서의 효능과 생체 내 안정성을 동물실험을 통해 확인한 결과, 생체 내에서도 혈전용해효소의 활성이 소실되지 않고 유지되며, 혈전분해와 관련된 생체 내 인자들을 활성화시키는 역할을 하는 특징을 갖는다. NK-IL9204는 30,000 FU/g 이상의 고역가를 달성하여 산업적 측면에서 생산성도 확보함으로써 수입의존적 원료를 국산화할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2)는 많은 immunoenhancing lymphokine의 한 종류로서 lymphokine activiated killer (LAK) cell의 생성을 자극시켜 흑종의 종양세포를 죽인다고 알려져 있다. 최근 간종양에서 비장동맥 또는 간동맥으로 투여한 IL-2가 비장의 임파계를 자극하여 LAK cell을 생성하여 어느정도효과가 있음이 밝혀지면서, 여러가지의 투여 방법이 시도되고 있다. 그러나 각종의 투여 방법에서 실제로 투여한 IL-2의 인체내 분포에 관한 연구는 없다. 저자들은 비정맥과 간문맥에 이상이 없는 증례의 비동맥에 IL-2와 $^{99m}Tc-phytate$ 혼합물을 투여하고, IL-2의 생체에서의 비장과 간에 어떻게 분포하는지 알아보기 위하여 $^{99m}Tc$의 radioactivity를 계측하여 보았다. 6예의 간세포암과 3예의 위암으로부터의 전이성간암에서 동맥조영술적방법을 이용하여 초선택적 비장동맥에 투여한 IL-2와 $^{99m}Tc-phytate$ 혼합물이 비장 27%, 간73%의 분포를 보여 비장을 거쳐온 $^{99m}Tc$의 방사능이 간에 많이 침착함을 확인하였고 간과 비장이외의 부위 즉 골수, 복수 또는 폐장이나 늑막에는 전혀 방사능 분포가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 비정맥이나 간문백에 이상이 없는 증례에서 IL-2의 비장동맥 투여는 목적하는 바 IL-2의 생체내 분포를 이룩할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : This study was performed to estimate the effects of OMC-2010 extract on cytokine production in mouse spleen cells. Methods : Mouse spleen cells were pre-treated with ethanol and water extract of OMC-2010 for 1 h, then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 ${\mu}g/ml$) for 48 h. Then the cells were harvested for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect cytokines. Results : OMC-2010 ethanol extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. OMC-2010 water extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced TNF-alpha, and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. Conclusions : Theses results could suggest that both ethanol and water OMC-2010 extract could inhibit the TNF-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expression.

Water extracts of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus (ADA) fruits were used to treat hPBMC to determine the mechanisms for the immunomodulatory effects. The secretion level of various cytokines including Th-1 type (IL-2, L-12, $IFN-{\gamma}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$) and Th-2 type (IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10) were measured using ELISA. A significant increase of Th-1 type cytokine secretion was observed in the presence of extract while Th-2 cytokine, IL-6 was suppressed. Our results suggest that ADA fruit extract may influence the anticancer immune responses towards a predominance of Th-1 cytokines in the immune system.

From the mid 17th century, Joseon mathematics had a new beginning and developed along two directions, namely the traditional mathematics and one influenced by western mathematics. A great Joseon mathematician if not the greatest, Hong JeongHa was able to complete the Song-Yuan mathematics in his book GuIlJib based on his studies of merely Suanxue Qimeng, YangHui Suanfa and Suanfa Tongzong. Although Hong JeongHa did not deal with the systems of equations of higher degrees and general systems of linear congruences, he had the more advanced theories of right triangles and equations together with the number theory. The purpose of this paper is to show that Hong was able to realize the completion through his perfect understanding of mathematical structures.

Platycodon grandiflorum have been used as a traditional remedy and food source. This study was performed to investigate the immunomodulating effects of Platycodon grandiflorum in mouse, using ex vivo experiments. Six to seven-week old mice were fed ad libitum on a chow diet, and water extract of Platycodon grandiflorum was orally administrated at two different concentractions (50 and 500 mg/kg B.W./day) every other day for four weeks. In ex vivo experiments, the highest proliferation of splenocytes and levels of cytokine (IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$) production were observed in 500 mg/kg BW/day supplementation group for all three cytokines stimulated by LPS. In conclusion, this study suggests that Platycodon grandiflorum extracts may enhance the immune function by regulating the splenocytes proliferation and cytokine production capacity by activating macrophages in mice.
