The purpose of this study is that evaluate the distribution and biological roles of TNF-a, interleukin-1${\beta}$(IL-1${\beta}$), interleukin-6(IL-6) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) in the synovial fliud of patients with non-inflammatory chronic temporomandibular joint(TMJ) disorders in relation to pain during joint movements and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) findings. TMJ synovial fluids aspirates were obtained from 36 patients (36 joints) with chronic TMJ disorders and from 8 controls(8 joints). Patients were divided to four groups. The control group was from healthy volunteers(8 joints), group I(18 joints) was patients with anterior disc displacement with reduction, group II(5 joints) was patients with disc displacement without reduction and group III (5 joints) was osteoarthritis. The TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1${\beta}$ and IL-6 levels in the aspirates were determined by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the TIMP-1 level was measured by an enzyme immunoassay. Following examinations for pain during joint movements and MRI observations, these cytokines' level and frequencies of detection were compared. The level of IL-1${\beta}$was not significant different in all groups. but the level of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and TIMP-1 were significant different among groups. The level of IL-6 and TIMP-1 were correlated to pain during movement(p<0.01) and the level of TNF-a(p<0.05). Also, the level of IL-6 was correlated to the level of TIMP-1(p<0.01). Especially, The level of the TIMP-1 level was significantly correlated to the pain during movement and showed very high levle of Pearson's correlation coefficient (r=0.833)(p<0.001). The results indicated that the TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and TIMP-1 levels in the TMJ aspirates of patients with chronic TMJ disorders have been raised. Especially, IL-6 and TIMP-1 were very high levels in the patients who were degraded in the TMJ. Also, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and TIMP-1 showed the significant correlation in the chronic temporomandibular joint disorders. Therefore I suggest that these cytokines were also correlated to the pain during movement in the chronic temporomandibular joint disorders.

미역 물 추출물의 염증 억제 활성을 알아보기 위하여 nitric oxide(NO) 분비량, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6) 및 IL-$1{\beta}$ cytokine 분비량, RAW 264.7 세포의 증식능을 측정하였다. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 염증이 유도된 대식세포의 NO 분비능에 미치는 미역 물 추출물의 영향을 알아보기 위해 대식세포 배양액의 $NO_2{^-}$ 농도를 측정한 결과 NO 분비량이 미역 추출물 농도에 의존적으로 유의적인 감소 경향을 나타내는 것을 확인하였으며, 모든 첨가 농도에서 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 및 IL-$1{\beta}$ cytokine 분비량이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 IL-6 cytokine의 경우 첨가물 농도에 의존적으로 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 미역 물 추출물 첨가에 의한 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 및 IL-$1{\beta}$ cytokine 및 NO 분비량의 감소가 세포 사멸에 의한 영향인지를 알아보기 위해 마우스 복강 대식세포에 대하여 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay를 실시하였다. 그 결과 모든 첨가 농도에서 대식세포 증식능이 control에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 미역 물추출물은 세포사멸에 의해 cytokine 분비량이 감소한 것이 아님을 확인하였으며, 대식세포 증식능을 증가시켜 면역세포를 활성화 시키는 것으로 사료되어진다.

Objective: In a proof of concept study, we compared no-touch radiofrequency ablation (NtRFA) in bipolar mode with conventional direct tumor puncture (DTP) in terms of local tumor control (LTC), peritoneal seeding, and tumorigenic factors, in the rabbit VX2 subcapsular hepatic tumor model. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two rabbits with VX2 subcapsular hepatic tumors were divided into three groups according to the procedure: DTP-RFA (n = 25); NtRFA (n = 25); and control (n = 12). Each of the three groups was subdivided into two sets for pathologic analysis (n = 24) or computed tomography (CT) follow-up for 6 weeks after RFA (n = 38). Ultrasonography-guided DTP-RFA and NtRFA were performed nine days after tumor implantation. LTC was defined by either achievement of complete tumor necrosis on histopathology or absence of local tumor progression on follow-up CT and autopsy. Development of peritoneal seeding was also compared among the groups. Serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured via ELISA (Elabscience Biotechnology Co.) after RFA for tumorigenic factor evaluation. Results: Regarding LTC, there was a trend in NtRFA (80%, 20/25) toward better ablation than in DTP-RFA (56%, 14/25) (p = 0.069). Complete tumor necrosis was achieved in 54.5% of DTP-RFA (6/11) and 90.9% of NtRFA (10/11). Peritoneal seeding was significantly more common in DTP-RFA (71.4%, 10/14) than in NtRFA (21.4%, 3/14) (p = 0.021) or control (0%). Elevations of HGF, VEGF or IL-6 were not detected in any group. Conclusion: No-touch radiofrequency ablation led to lower rates of peritoneal seeding and showed a tendency toward better LTC than DTP-RFA.

본 연구에서는 면역 억제 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있는 조절 T 세포 (regulatory T cell, Treg)의 새로운 생리학적 기능 대하여 확인해보고자 하였다. 시험관내나 동물실험에서 조절 T 세포가 분비하는 transforming growth factor ${\beta}1$ ($TGF-{\beta}1$)에 의하여 이식 직전까지 췌장섬세포의 생존률을 향상시키면서 동시에 혈당조절 기능이 향상될 수 있을 것이라는 가설이다. 이를 증명하기 위하여 마우스를 이용한 1형 당뇨병 모델을 제작한 뒤, 180 IEQ (islet equivalents)의 췌장섬세포를 동종간 이식하였다. 췌장섬세포는 이식 수술 시행 전까지 48시간 동안 $4{\times}10^6$의 Treg 세포와 함께 배양하여 Treg 유래 $TGF-{\beta}1$에 충분히 노출시킨 뒤 사용하였다. Treg 단독군, 췌장섬세포 단독군 및 Treg/islet 동시 배양군에서 각각 $TGF-{\beta}1$, IL-6 및 인슐린 분비 수준의 변화를 측정하였다. Treg/islet 동시 배양군에서 IL-6와 인슐린 분비는 증가하였고 (P<0.0005, P<0.005), 췌장섬세포 단독군과 비교하여 생존율이 향상되었다(P<0.005). 또한, 이식 후, 동시 배양된 췌장섬세포는 1형 당뇨병 마우스 모델에서 혈당 수치를 보다 효율적으로 조절하였다. 이러한 결과는 Treg 세포가 $TGF-{\beta}1$ 분비를 통하여 췌장섬세포의 기능과 생존력을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

We examined effects of interleukin $1{\alpha}$ ($IL1{\alpha}$) and phorbol 12, 13 dibutyrate (PDB), an activator of protein kinase C, on mRNA for Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) and prostanoid production in cultured ovine meningeal fibroblasts. Immuno- and morphologically-identified fibroblasts were derived from cerebral cortex and white matter from fetal lambs (approximately 120 days gestation) and grown to confluence on glass coverslips in 12 well plates. Levels of prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ and the stable hydrolysis product of prostacyclin (i.e., $6-keto-PGF_{1{\alpha}}$) were determined using enzyme immunoassay. Relative amounts of mRNA were determined by in situ hybridization using ovine cDNA for PGHS1. $IL1{\alpha}$ (10 ng/ml) increased mRNA levels over baseline by $62{\pm}19%$ (p＜0.05) at 60 min., $37{\pm}12%$ (NS) at 120 min., and $36{\pm}18%$ (NS) at 240 min (n=12). Levels of $6-keto-PGF_{1{\alpha}}$ were $148{\pm}18%$ pg/ml during baseline, $246{\pm}41%$ pg/ml at 60 min., $248{\pm}40%$ pg/ml at 120 min., and $259{\pm}62%$ pg/ml at 240 min (all p＜0.05) (n=12). $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ was increased although it wasn't statistically significant. However, $IL1{\alpha}$ decreased $PGE_2$ level significantly (all p＜0.05). PDB $(10^{-6}M)$ increased mRNA levels over baseline by $25{\pm}6%$ after 30 min., $40{\pm}6%$ after 60 min., and $20{\pm}8%$ after 90 min. (n=9) (all p＜0.05). Levels of $6-keto-PGF_{1{\alpha}}$ were $200{\pm}43%$ pg/ml during baseline, $202{\pm}43%$ pg/ml after 30 min. (NS), $268{\pm}58%$ pg/ml after 60 min. (p＜0.05), and $296{\pm}60%$ pg/ml after 90 min. (p＜0.05) (n=9). Levels of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ were $178{\pm}26%$ pg/ml during baseline, $300{\pm}30%$ pg/ml after 30 min., $299{\pm}35%$ pg/ml after 60 min., and $355{\pm}32%$ pg/ml after 90 min (all p＜0.05) (n=6). Actinomycin-D (1 mg/ml) prevented increases in mRNA, $6-keto-PGF_{1{\alpha}}$, and $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ at 60 min. for both $IL1{\alpha}$ and PDB. We conclude that cerebral fibroblasts are avid producers of prostanoids, and that enhanced production of PGHS is responsible for augmented $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ and prostacyclin production in the presence of an activator of protein kinase C and for decreased $PGE_2$ and increased prostacyclin production in the presence of $IL1{\alpha}$.

목적: 대표적인 만성 구강내 염증성 질환인 치주염의 치료에 저온상압 플라즈마의 적용 가능성을 평가해 보고자, 치주 조직내 많이 분포하고 있는 치은섬유모세포에 대한 항염효과를 평가해보았다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 두명의 환자의 구강내에서 건강한 치은조직을 채득하여 primary culture 시행한 후 실험실에서 치은섬유모세포를 계대배양하였다. 세포 실험을 위해 헬륨 가스를 이용하는 저온상압 플라즈마 장치를 제작하였다. 치주염증을 유도하기 위해 Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg)의 LPS를 처리하고, CCK-8 kit를 통해 세포생존율 평가를 시행하고 염증성 사이토카인인 interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6의 분비정도를 평가하였다. 결과: 인간치은섬유모세포 생존율 평가에서는 Pg LPS를 처리한 군과 플라즈마를 처리한 군, Pg LPS와 플라즈마를 함께 처리한 군 모두에서 생존율이 92.28%에서 100% 사이로 존재하고 통계적으로 유의성은 관찰되지 않았다. 6시간과 24시간 세포배양시간에 따른 세포생존율 차이도 관찰되지 않았다. Pg LPS를 적용하였을 때 대조군에 비해 IL-8과 6의 분비가 증가되었으며, 저온상압 플라즈마의 적용시 그 분비가 통계적으로 유의하게 감소되었다. 결론: 저온상압 플라즈마가 인간섬유모세포의 세포 생존율에 유의한 영향을 끼치지 않았고, 치주염유발 염증성 사이토카인인인 IL-8과 IL-6의 분비를 억제하였다.

Objective: Unlike mammals, goose fatty liver shows a strong tolerance to fatty acids without obvious injury. Stearyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) serves crucial role in desaturation of saturated fatty acids (SAFs), but its role in the SAFs tolerance of goose hepatocytes has not been reported. This study was conducted to explore the role of SCD1 in regulating palmitic acid (PA) tolerance of goose primary hepatocytes. Methods: 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide was examined to reflect the effect of PA on hepatocytes viability, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA levels of several genes related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, and the role of SCD1 in PA tolerance of goose hepatocytes was explored using RNA interfere. Results: Our results indicated that goose hepatocytes exhibited a higher tolerant capacity to PA than human hepatic cell line (LO2 cells). In goose primary hepatocytes, the mRNA levels of fatty acid desaturation-related genes (SCD1 and fatty acid desaturase 2) and fatty acid elongate enzyme-related gene (elongase of very long chain fatty acids 6) were significantly upregulated with 0.6 mM PA treatment. However, in LO2 cells, expression of ER stress-related genes (x box-binding protein, binding immunoglobulin protein, and activating transcription factor 6), inflammatory response-related genes (interleukin-6 [IL-6], interleukin-1β [IL-1β], and interferon-γ) and apoptosis-related genes (bcl-2-associated X protein, b-cell lymphoma 2, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9) was significantly enhanced with 0.6 mM PA treatment. Additionally, small interfering RNA (siRNA) mediated downregulation of SCD1 significantly reduced the PA tolerance of goose primary hepatocytes under the treatment of 0.6 mM PA; meanwhile, the mRNA levels of inflammatory-related genes (IL-6 and IL-1β) and several key genes involved in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT), forkhead box O1 (FoxO1), mammalian target of rapamycin and AMPK pathways (AKT1, AKT2, FoxO1, and sirtuin 1), as well as the protein expression of cytochrome C and the apoptosis rate were upregulated. Conclusion: In conclusion, our data suggested that SCD1 was involved in enhancing the PA tolerance of goose primary hepatocytes by regulating inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes expression.

참갈파래(Ulva lactuca Linnaeus) 추출물에 대한 항염증 활성 및 항산화 활성을 측정하였다. 참갈파래 추출물의 MTT assay의 결과로 500 ㎍/ml 이하의 모든 농도에서 약 90% 이상의 세포생존율을 보였으며, 일정 농도에서는 100%를 능가하는 세포생장 촉진율까지 보인 것으로 나타났다. 그리하여 이후 모든 실험에서는 가장 높은 농도를 500 ㎍/ml으로 정하여 실험을 진행하였다. 항염증 실험 중 하나인 nitric oxide(NO) 소거능을 측정한 결과, LPS만 처리한 군을 100%로 정하여 비교하였을 때, 참갈파래 추출물은 5, 50, 500 ㎍/ml의 농도에서 각각 16%, 19%, 62%의 억제효과를 보였다. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)의 경우, LPS만 처리한 군을 100%로 정하여 비교하였을 때, 참갈파래 추출물은 5, 50, 500 ㎍/ml의 농도에서 각각 16%, 17%, 27%의 억제효과를 보였다. Interleukin-6 (IL-6)의 경우, LPS만 처리한 군을 100%로 정하여 비교 하였을 때, 참갈파래 추출물의 경우, 500 ㎍/ml의 농도에서 29%의 억제효과를 보였다. 참갈파래 추출물의 항산화 활성을 측정하기 위하여 항산화 성분을 조사하는 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우, 0.3, 3, 30 mg/ml의 농도에서 각각 8.02, 9.90, 23.8 mg GAE/g의 총 폴리페놀이 함유되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다. ABTS radical 소거활성을 측정한 결과, 0.3, 3, 30 mg/ml의 농도에서 각각 약 2.6, 12.6, 77.3%의 소거활성이 나타났으며, 시료의 농도증가에 따라 소거활성이 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에 사용된 참갈파래 추출물은 향후 항염증 및 항산화 활성소재로서 기능성 식품의 개발에 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Peanut hull as by-product has been discarded during peanut processing. However, peanut hull contains plenty of polyphenols that shows various physiological activities. The objectives of this study were to investigate anti-inflammatory and enzyme inhibitory activities of polyphenols from 'Sinpalkwang' peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) hull. Compounds were isolated from methanol extracts of peanut hull by preparative-high performance liquid chromatography after identifying and quantifying polyphenols using Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and UPLC-Quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometry profiling. The structures of compounds were elucidated by one-dimensional [¹H, ¹³C] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and two-dimensional NMR (correlated spectroscopy, heteronuclear single quantum coherence and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation). Three compounds were identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (peak 2), luteolin (peak 4) and eriodictyol (peak 5). Significant differences in inflammatory mediator such as nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-lβ) in lipopolysaccharide stimulated Raw 264.7 macrophages and in enzyme (xanthine oxidase [XO] and α-glucosidase [AG]) inhibitory activities were observed between three compounds (p < 0.05). Peak 5 treated Raw 264.7 macrophages showed lower content of NO (16.4 uM), IL-6 (7.0 ng/mL), and IL-1β (60.6 pg/mL) than peak 2 (NO: 28.3 uM, IL-6: 11.3 ng/mL, IL-1β: 66.9 pg/mL) and peak 4 (NO: 24.7 uM, IL-6: 9.3 ng/mL, IL-1β: 62.6 pg/mL). Peak 5 showed higher XO inhibitory activity (84.7%) and higher AG inhibitory activity (52.4%) than peak 2 (XO inhibitory activity: 45.4%, AG inhibitory activity: 21.6%) and peak 4 (XO inhibitory activity: 37.9%, AG inhibitory activity: 37.5%) at concentration of 0.5mg/mL. This study suggests that peanut hull could be a potential source of anti-inflammatory and physiological materials while creating new use of discarded peanut hull as by-products concomitantly.

전통발효식초의 면역증진 활성을 규명하기 위하여 서로 다른 원재료로부터 제조된 국내외산 6종의 발효식초로부터 다당류를 분리하고 이들의 화학 특성과 면역증진 활성에 대해 평가하였다. 6종의 발효식초 유래 조다당 중에서 국내 현미 식초 유래 조다당(KBV-0)과 일본 현미식초 유래 조다당(JBV-0) 및 국내 감식초 유래 조다당(KPV-0)에서 발효식초 대비 높은 수율이 얻어졌으며, in vitro 상에서 대식세포를 활성화하여 우수한 interleukin(IL)-6의 생산 유도 활성을 보여 고 면역활성 다당으로 선별하고 이후의 실험에 사용하였다. 한편 선별된 발효식초 유래 3종의 다당 획분 KBV-0, KPV-0 및 JBV-0는 비특이적 면역계에 있어 중요 역할을 담당하고 있는 보체계에 대하여 모두 농도 의존적으로 높은 항보체 활성을 보였지만 KBV-0와 KPV-0의 경우 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 각각 $ITCH_{50}$ 62% 및 65%의 활성을 보여 JBV-0에 비해 높은 항보체 활성을 나타냈다. 한편 KBV-0, JBV-0 및 KPV-0는 mouse 복강 macrophage에 대해 특별한 세포독성은 나타내지 않았으며, 대식세포를 자극하여 IL-6, IL-12 및 TNF-${\alpha}$의 생산을 농도 의존적으로 증가시켰다. 하지만 KPV-0의 활성이 각 처리 농도에서 상대적으로 가장 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 국내산 전통발효식초에는 타 영양성분 외에 특이 다당류를 함유하고 있으며 이들 발효식초 유래 다당이 인체 건강유지에 필수적인 면역기능을 증진시킬 수 있음을 추정하게 하였다.
