시료 된장의 pH, 아미노태, 암모니아태 수치는 각 군 간 특별한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 검정콩 된장이 가장 높은 폴리페놀 농도, DPPH를 이용한 항산화 효과를 보였다. 된장 추출물은 0.1~0.5 mg/mL 범위까지는 RAW 264.7 cells의 증식을 억제하지 않았으며, HT-29를 이용한 MTT에서 BD 군이 가장 높은 암세포 성장 억제율을 보였다. HT-29에서 pro-inflammatory cytokine인 $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6와 염증관련 인자 COX-2의 mRNA 발현은 시료 처리군에서 대조군에 비해 낮은 수치를 나타냈으며 BD군에서 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다(P<0.05). 세포 증식에 관여하는 p21, p53과 cyclin D1의 mRNA 발현은 p21과 p53가 BD군에서 발현이 증가하였고, cyclin D1은 BD군에서 낮아졌다. Apoptosis 관련 유전자인 Bcl-2는 BD군이 가장 낮은 발현을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 BD군은 CD, SD군에 비해 높은 폴리페놀 농도, 항산화 효과, 대장암세포에서 pro-inflammatory cytokines과 세포 증식에 관여하는 유전자 등을 조절한다. 이 결과는 아마도 서목태 된장의 높은 총 페놀화합물의 양과 안토시아닌의 함량으로 얻어진 결과로 생각된다.

최근 들어 툭별한 물리적 방법을 사용하지 않고 내구성능이 저하된 콘크리트의 성능을 회복시키는 방법의 일환으로서 콘크리트 표면보호재에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 표면보호는 직접적인 의미로서는 콘크리트 구조물의 표면을 보호하는 것뿐만아니라 다양한 열화요인의 침투를 억제함으로서 내부의 콘크리트 및 철근의 열화를 억제하여 콘크리트 구조물을 보호하게 된다. 이와 같은 표면보호재 중 함침계 표면보호재는 콘크리트 표면층의 공극에 충전 혹은 생성물을 석출시켜 치밀한 층으로 하느 충전계와 콘크리트 표면층의 외부 및 내부표면의 성질을 개선하는 표면계로 분류하는 것이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구는 규플르오르화염을 주성분으로 하는 표면형 함침계 표면보호제 도포에 의한 콘크리트 표면의 세공구조의 변화 및 중성화, 염해, 화학적 침식 등의 내구성 향상을 실험실증적으로 검토함으로서 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성향상 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 그 결과, 표면보호제를 도포함으로서 모든 물시멘트비에서 도포전과 비교하여 전세공용적이 감소하고 있으며, 특히 50nm이상의 비교적 큰 세공경인 모세관공극의 용적이 감소함으로서 물흡수성, 중성화 저항성, 내황산성, 염소이온침투 저항성 등의 내구성 향상에 기여하는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 효과는 물시멘트비가 클수록 높게 나타났다.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for positional and geometric isomers of octadecadienoic acid in which the double bonds are conjugated. CLA has anticancer activity in a variety of animal cancer models, and cis-9, trans-11 (c9t11) and trans-10, cis-12(t10c12) CLA are the most predominant isomers present in the synthetic preparations utilized in these animal studies. To compare the ability of c9t11, t10c12 and an isomeric mixture of CLA to inhibit TSU-Prl cell growth, cells were incubated in a serum-free medium with various concentrations of these fatty acids. The isomeric mixture inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner (1-3 $\mu$M) with a 41 $\pm$ 1% inhibition observed at 3 $\mu$M concentration after 48 hours. T10c12 also inhibited cell proliferation in a dote-dependent manner, However, the efficacy and potency of this isomer was much greater than that of the isomeric mixture with a 49 $\pm$ 2% inhibition observed at 0.3 $\mu$M concentration after 48 hours. By contrast, c9t11 slightly increased cell proliferation. To determine whether the growth-inhibiting effect of CLA is related to the changes in production of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) by these cells, serum-free conditioned media were collected. Immunoblot analysis of conditioned media using a monoclonal anti-IGF-II antibody showed that both the isomeric mixture and t10c12 inhibited secretion of both mature 7,500 Mr and higher Mr forms of pro IGF-II, whereas c9t11 had no effect. Ligand blot analysis with 125I-IGF-II revealed the presence of two types of IGFBPs : 24,000 Mr IGFBP-4 and 30,000 Mr IGFBP-6. The production of IGFBP-4 slightly decreased at the highest concentrations of the isomeric mixture and t10c12. These results indicate that CLA inhibits human prostate cancer cell growth, an effect largely due to the action of t10c12. The growth inhibition may result, at least in part, from decreased production of IGF-II and IGFBP-4 by these cells.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by a progressive loss of cartilage. And, increased oxidative stress plays a relevant role in the pathogenesis of OA. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a used drug for liver diseases known for its free radical-scavenging property. The objectives of this study were to investigate the in vivo effects of UDCA on pain severity and cartilage degeneration using an experimental OA model and to explore its mode of actions. OA was induced in rats by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) to the knee. Oral administration UDCA was initiated on the day of MIA injection. Limb nociception was assessed by measuring the paw withdrawal latency and threshold. Samples were analyzed macroscopically and histologically. Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the expression of interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), IL-6, nitrotyrosine and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in knee joints. UDCA showed an antinociceptive property and attenuated cartilage degeneration. OA rats given oral UDCA significantly exhibited a decreased number of osteoclasts in subchondral bone legion compared with the vehicle-treated OA group. UDCA reduced the expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, nitrotyrosine and iNOS in articular cartilage. UDCA treatment significantly attenuated the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), -13, and ADAMTS5 in IL-$1{\beta}$-stimulated human OA chondrocytes. These results show the inhibitory effects of UDCA on pain production and cartilage degeneration in experimentally induced OA. The chondroprotective properties of UDCA were achieved by suppressing oxidative damage and inhibiting catabolic factors that are implicated in the pathogenesis of cartilage damage in OA.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Although much progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of ALD, there remains no effective therapy for it. Accumulated evidence indicates that oxidative stress is the main pathological factors in the development of ALD. Ethanol administration causes accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide. ROS, in turn, cause lipid peroxidation of cellular membranes, and protein and DNA oxidation, which results in hepatocyte injury. In addition to pro-oxidants formation, antioxidants depletion caused by ethanol administration also results in oxidative stress. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Shiryung-tang extract on the chronic alcoholic liver injury induced by EtOH. Male Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. All rats were maintained under standard laboratory conditions ($23{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 12h light/12h dark cycles). All animals (n=30) were randomly divided into following groups: (1) Normal group, treated with distilled water (n=10); (2) Control group, treated with ethanol (n=10); (3) Sample group, treated with ethanol + pharmacopuncture (n=10). For oral administration of ethanol in Control and Sample group, the ethanol was dissolved in distilled water in concentrations of 25%(v/v). Throughout the experiment of 8 week, the rats were allowed free access to water and standard chow. Sample group were administrated by Shiryung-tang extract daily for 8 weeks. Control group were given normal saline for same weeks. As a results, the oral administration of ethanol for 8 weeks leads to hepatotoxicity. The levels of hepatic marker such as HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were altered. The ethanol also increased lipid peroxidation and depletion of antioxidant enzyme activities as well as hepatic tissue injury. However, the treatment of Shiryung-tang extract prevented all the alterations induced by ethanol and returned their levels to near normal. These data suggest that Shiryung-tang extract could have a beneficial effect in inhibiting the oxidative damage induced by chronic ethanol administration. Therefore, Shiryung-tang extract can be a candidate to protect against EtOH-induced liver injury.

The inhibitory activity against bisphenol-A (BPA), one of well-known endocrine disrupters was examined with the water extracts prepared from the Stem Bark of Syringa velutina (SBS). In this study, we have investigated the effect of SBS on the toxicity caused by BPA in human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7 cells and immature Sprague-Dawley rats. In the estrogen receptor-mediated proliferation assay using MCF-7 cells, BPA (16 ng/ml) induced the cell proliferation, but the water extract of SBS inhibited BPA-induced cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. These results are associated with PARP degradation and specific cleavage of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 of apoptotic regulatory factors. Additionally, the BPA (400 mg/100 g) significantly induced the increase of the uterine and virginal weights, while SBS (50 mg/100 g) showed the inhibitory action against BPA, i.e. caused the increase of estrogen-related organ weights in immature rat uterotrophic assay. Taken together, the present data suggest that SBS may have anti-toxicity activities against BPA in vitro and in vivo systems. SBS may be capable of inhibiting adverse effects of BPA such as reproductive disorder.

본 연구는 폐석지의 성공적인 식생 복원을 위하여 자생 수종을 대상으로 피해 수준을 평가하고, 내성 특성을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 연구 조사지는 강원도 태백시 소도동과 싸리재에 위치한 폐석지를 대상으로 하였으며, 이미 선발한 거제수나무와 박달나무의 잎을 채취하여 NR 활성, MDA와 $H_2O$$_2$ 함량, SOD 활성, 탄수화물 함량을 분석하였다. 폐석지 내 수목들은 폐석지 주변 산림 내 수목들 보다 MDA함량과 $H_2O$$_2$ 함량이 높아 폐석지 내 부적당한 환경 요인에 영향을 받고 있음을 보여 주었다. 또한 낮은 NR 활성은 폐석지 내 질소원의 부족을 간접적으로 나타냈으며, 폐석지내 수목의 잎에서 항산화 효소인 SOD의 활성 증가가 나타나지 않은 것으로 보아 스트레스에 대한 내성 기능이 적절하게 작용하지 못하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 포도당의 감소와 전분의 증가는 탄수화물 대사가 부적당한 환경 요인에 의해 저해되고 있음을 보여 주었다. 결론적으로 폐석지 토양 내 낮은 질소함량은 스트레스에 대한 수목의 내성 발현에 도움을 주지 못하여 수목의 피해가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 폐석지 내 수목의 피해를 막고 스트레스에 대한 내성을 증가시키기 위해서는 각종 대사의 에너지원으로 이용되는 양료 공급이 절실히 요구된다.

여러 산업현장에서 배출되는 중금속은 독성이 없는 상태로 분해되거나 안정화되지 않고, 먹이사슬을 따라 생물의 체내에 고농도로 축적되어 여러 가지 병을 유발하는 문제점을 가지고 있는 오염물질이다. 이러한 중금속으로 오염된 토양을 정화하기 위하여 식물을 이용한 친환경적이며 경제적인 식물상 복원 기법이 주목 받고 있으며, 그 효율을 증대시키기 위한 방법 중 하나로 식물과 근권미생물 간의 상리공생적 상호관계에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중금속으로 오염된 토양에서 식물과 식물의 근권에서 서식하는 근권세균 사이의 상호 기작에 관한 기존 연구 결과 및 동향에 대하여 알아보았다. 식물의 뿌리에 의해 형성되는 근권의 물리 화학적, 생물학적 특성은 근권세균의 생물량 및 활성, 군집구조에 직 간접적인 영향을 미친다. 뿌리삼출물은 미생물에게 유용한 탄소원과 성장인자로 제공됨으로써 토양 내 서식하고 있는 근권세균의 성장과 대사를 촉진하는 역할을 한다. PGPR은 식물뿌리성장을 억제하는 ethylene의 전구체인 ACC를 제거하는 ACC deaminase활성, 식물성 호르몬인 LAA생성 능력, 철 공급체인 Siderophore합성 능력을 모두 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 토양 속 인을 식물이 이용할 수 있도록 가용화 시키는 능력까지 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 PGPR은 높은 농도의 중금속으로 오염된 토양에서 식물이 보다 잘 성장하고 서식할 수 있도록 도와준다. 따라서 이들 PGPR을 식물상 복원에 적용할 경우, 중금속의 높은 정화 효과를 기대할 수 있다

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), classified as condensed tannins, have significant antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects. This study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of OPCs and the mechanism underlying these effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T). Real-time PCR and ELISA assays indicated that OPC treatment at 1, 3 and 5 ㎍/ml significantly reduced the mRNA and protein, respectively, of oxidant indicators cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) (p < 0.05) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (p < 0.01) as well as inflammation cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 (p < 0.01), IL-1β (p < 0.01) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (p < 0.05) in LPS-induced MAC-T cells. Moreover, OPCs downregulated LPS-induced phosphorylation of p65 and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) (IκB) in the NF-κB signaling pathway (p < 0.01), and they inhibited p65 translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus as revealed by immunofluorescence test and western blot. Additionally, OPCs decreased phosphorylation of p38, extracellular signal regulated kinase and c-jun NH₂-terminal kinase in the MAPK signaling pathway (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of OPCs involve NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, thus inhibiting expression of pro-inflammatory factors and oxidation indicators. These findings provide novel experimental evidence for the further practical application of OPCs in prevention and treatment of bovine mastitis.
