Statement of problem. The success of osseointegration can be enhanced with an implant that has improved surface characteristics. Anodic oxidation is one of the surface modifying method to achieve osseointegration. Voltage of anodic oxidation can change surface characteristics and cell activity Purpose. This study was performed to evaluate MG63 cell responses such as affinity, proliferation and to compare surface characteristics of anodic oxidized titanium in various voltage. Material and method. The disks for cell culture were fabricated from grade 3 commercially pure titanium,1 m in thickness and 12 mm in diameter. Surfaces of 4 different roughness were prepared. Group 1 had a machined surface, used as control. Group 2 was anodized under 220 V, group 3 was anodized under 300 V and group 4 was anodized under 320 V. The microtopography of specimens was observed by scanning electron microscope (JSM-840A, JEOL, Japan) and atomic force microscope(Autoprobe CP, Park Scientific Instrument, USA). The surface roughness was measured by confocal laser scanning microscope(Pascal, LSM5, Zeiss, Germany). The crystal structure of the titanium surface was analyzed with x-ray diffractometer(D8 advanced, Broker, Germany). MG63 osteoblast-like cells were cultured on these specimens. The cell morpholgy was observed by field emission electron microscope(Hitachi S-4700, Japan). The cell metabolic and proliferative activity was evaluated by MTT assay Results and conclusion. With in limitations of this in vitro study, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. In anodizing titanium surface, we could see pores which did not show in control group. In higher anodizing voltage, pore size was increased. 2. In anodizing titanium surface, we could see anatase. In higher anodizing voltage, thicker oxide layer increased crystallinity(anatase, anatase and rutile mixed). 3. MG63 cells showed more irregular, polarized and polygonal shape and developed more lamellipodi in anodizing group as voltage increased. 4. The activity of cells in MTT assay increased significantly in group 3 and 4 in comparison with group 1 and 2. However, there was no difference between group 3 and 4 at P<0.05. Proliferation of MG63 cells increased significantly in pore size($3-5.5{\mu}m$) of group 3 and 4 in comparison with in pore size($0.2-1{\mu}m$ ) of group 2.

소목은 인도, 말레이시아, 중국 남부 등의 열대 아시아에 분포하는 낙엽 관목의 콩과 식물로써, 한방에서는 항통증, 항염증의 용도로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 국내산 소목의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 총 폴레페놀, 총 플라보노이드의 함량 분석과 함께 항산화 및 항암활성 분석을 통해 기능성 소재로의 이용가능성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 소목 열수 추출물은 건소목 100 g에 증류수 2L를 가하여 $65^{\circ}C$의 수조에서 4시간 동안 추출하고 에탄올 추출물은 건소목 100 g에 70% 에탄올 2L를 가하여 $25^{\circ}C$, 108 rpm으로 24시간 동안 진탕 추출하였다. 추출물은 모두 여과, 농축한 후 동결 건조하여 시료로 사용되었다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 열수 추출물 및 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 22.6 mg GAE/g과 17.6 mg GAE/g으로 나타났으며 총 플라보노이드 함량은 14.5 mg QE/g, 13.2 mg QE/g으로 에탄올 추출물에서 더 높은 함량을 보였다(p<0.05). DPPH 실험결과, 10-800 ug/mL의 농도에서 에탄올 추출물은 36.5-82.8%, 열수 추출물은 26.7-75.5%의 radical 소거능을 각각 나타내었다. DPPH실험과 동일한 농도에서 ABTS radical 소거능 측정 결과, 에탄올 추출물은 5.5-94.9%, 열수 추출물은 5.8-88.8%의 소거능을 각각 나타내었는데, 결과적으로 소목 에탄올 추출물이 열수 추출물에 비해 우수한 항산화력을 가지고 있음을 보여주었다(p<0.05). 소목의 항암 활성 측정을 위해 인체 암세포주인 A-549, HeLa, Hep3B cell에 대해 MTT assay와 SRB assay를 실시한 결과, 소목 에탄올 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 각 세포주에 대한 세포 독성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. MTT assay와 SRB assay의 모든 실험농도에서 폐암 세포인 A-549에 대해 가장 높은 세포 독성을 나타내었으며, 특히 MTT assay에서는 300 ug/mL의 소목 에탄올 추출물이 A-549 cell에 대해 90% 이상의 높은 암세포 억제효과를 보여주었다. 따라서, 우수한 항산화 활성과 항암 활성을 나타낸 소목 추출물은 향후 다양한 기능성 식품 및 의약 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of exemestane and aspirin on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Methods: Antiproliferative effects of exemestane and aspirin, alone and in combination, on growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were assessed using the MTT assay. Synergistic interaction between the two drugs was evaluated in vitro using the combination index (CI) method. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry and Western blotting was used to investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-1, cyclooxygenase-2 and Bcl-2. Results: MTT assays indicated that combination treatment obviously decreased the viability of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells compared to individual drug treatment (CI<1). In addition, the combination of exemestane and aspirin exhibited a synergistic inhibition of cell proliferation, significantly arrested the cell cycle in the $G_0/G_1$ phase and produced a stronger inhibitory effect on COX-1 and Bcl-2 expression than control or individual drug treatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that the combination of exemestane and aspirin might become a useful method to the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer. The combination of the two inhibitors significantly increased the response as compared to single agent treatment, suggesting that combination treatment could become a highly effective approach for breast cancer.

Backgrounds: Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), a phenanthrenequinone derivative extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza BUNGE, has been reported to be a natural anti-cancer agent in a variety of tumor cells. However, the effect of TIIA on gastric cancer cells remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the influence of TIIA on the malignant phenotype of SGC7901 gastric cancer cells. Methods: Cells cultured in vitro were treated with TIIA (0, 1, 5, $10{\mu}g/ml$) and after incubation for different periods, cell proliferation was measured by MTT method and cell apoptosis and cell cycling were assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). The sensitivity of SGC7901 gastric cancer cells to anticancer chemotherapy was investigated with the MTT method, while cell migration and invasion were examined by wound-healing and transwell assays, respectively. Results: TIIA (1, 5, $10{\mu}g/ml$) exerted powerful inhibitory effects on cell proliferation (P < 0.05, and P < 0.01), and this effect was time- and dose-dependent. FCM results showed that TIIA induced apoptosis of SGC7901 cells, reduced the number of cells in S phase and increased those in G0/G1 phase. TIIA also significantly increased the sensitivity of SGC7901 gastric cancer cells to ADR and Fu. Moreover, wound-healing and transwell assays showed that TIIA markedly decreased migratory and invasive abilities of SGC7901 cells. Conclusions: TIIA can reverse the malignant phenotype of SGC7901 gastric cancer cells, indicating that it may be a promising therapeutic agent.

Objective: To determine the killing effects on extracorporeal HepG2 cells under different temperatures, pressures of permeability and lengths of treatment time. Method: According to different temperatures, pressures of permeability and lengths of treating time, extracorporeal HepG2 cells of human hepatoma cell-line were grouped to 80 groups. Cell index (CI) as the measurement of killing effect were calculated by monotetrazolium (MTT) methods, i.e., CI =1- (the OD value in treated group - the OD value in blank control group) / (mean of untreated control group - mean of blank control group). According to the factorial design, data were fed into SPSS 10.0 and analyzed by three-way ANOVA (analysis of variance). Result: Temperature, pressure of permeability and length of treating time all had effects on the CI (cell index) level. Length of treating time was the most influential factor of the three. Additionally, any two of them all had statistically significant interactive effects on the CI level. When treated for 5-30 min, destilled water at $46^{\circ}C$ stably generated the highest CI. Conclusion: The "$46^{\circ}C$-destilled water-60 min" was considered as the optimal combination of conditions which lead to highest CI. We suggest exerting celiac lavage for 15 min with stilled water at $40^{\circ}C-43^{\circ}C$ in surgical practice as a hyperthermia treatment to achieve ideal killing effects on free cancer cells, which is feasible, practical, and clinically effective.

The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of taurine and alendronate on the osteoclast differentiation. Osteoblasts and bone marrow cells from 1-2 day old mouse were co-cultured in 10% fetal bovine serum - minimal essential media (FBS-MEM). Osteoclast differentiation was induced by adding the sonicated extracts of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis). Osteoclasts were identified using tartrate resistant acid phosphotase staining (TRAP). Alendronate of 10$^{-7}$, 10$^{-6}$, 10$^{-5}$M and taurine of 500, 1000, 1500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml were added respectively. The cytotoxic effects of alendronate and taurine were examined using MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol -2-yl-2,5-diphenyltetrazo- lium bromide) method. After culturing with the sonicated extracts of P.gingivalis, the amounts of IL-6 in the culture supernatant were measured and compared using the ELISA method. The results were as follows : 1. Osteoclasts were differentiated at the concentration of 0.01~0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml sonicated extracts of P.gingivalis. (P<0.05). 2. Alendronate inhibited osteoclasts differentiation at the concentration of 10$^{-5}$ M when the concentration of sonicated extracts of P.gingivalis was 0.01$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. 3. Taurine inhibited osteoclasts differentiation at the concentration of 1500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml when the concentration of sonicated extracts of P.gingivalis 0.01$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. 4. In cytotoxic test (MTT test), no cytotoxic effect was evident in all concentrations of alendronate and taurine. 5. Taurine (10$^{-5}$M) and alendronate(1500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) did not change the amounts of IL-6 induced by sonicated extracts of P.gingivalis significantly.
