In vitro skin iritation of anti-inflammatory drugs was investigated in terms of the cytotoxicity method to human skin fibroblast cells. Five anti-inflammatory drugs (Diclofenac, Naproxen, Meclofenamic acid, Ibuprofen and Fnoprofen) which are commercially available as oral preparations or injections were tested. The cytotoxicity of 5 chemicals was evaluated by using MTT[tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay. NRU (neutral red uptake) assay and Alamar Blue assay after fibroblast cells had been exposed to the chemicals for 24 hours or 489 hours. The $IC_{50}$ values of the chemicals showed the comparative strength of cytotoxicity as following order of Meclofenamic acid>Diclofenac>Fenoprofen>Ibuprofen>Naproxen. The values of $IC_{50}$ determined by Alamar Blue assay were lower than those of MTT and NRU assay. These data suggest Alamar Blue assay can be useful method for assessing in vitro skin irritation potential of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Objectives: The current investigation was carried out to determine the cytotoxic and the antimicrobial activities of methanolic extracts of Plumbago zeylanica. Methods: The stems, leaves, and whole plants were air dried and extracted with methanol by using a Soxhlet extractor for 72 hours at $55-60^{\circ}C$. The antimicrobial activities were determined from the zones of inhibition, which were measured by using the agar well diffusion method, and the cytotoxicity assays were performed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method. Results: The methanolic extracts of the stem and the leaves of Plumbago zeylanica were tested against six bacterial species and nine fungal species, and both extracts showed antimicrobial activity in a dose-dependent manner. The leaf extract of Plumbago zeylanica showed maximum antimicrobial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus sub sp aureus and Fusarium oxysporum. The stem extract was found to be more antimicrobial against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Penicillium expansum species. MTT assays were used to test the cytotoxicity of the whole plant extract in the HCT-116 and the K-562 cell lines, and that extract was shown to have weak cytotoxicity in both cell lines. Conclusion: In the present study, the methanolic stem extracts of Plumbago zeylanica were found to possess remarkable antibacterial activities against many human and agricultural pathogens. The extracts were also found to possess significant antifungal activities, but the antifungal activities were less than the antibacterial activities. Finally, the extracts were found to have weak cytotoxicities in the HCT-116 and the K-562 cell lines.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of organism vigor information solution(OVIS) on the animal cell growth and to set up a condition for cell culture. We investigated the reactions on the MG-63 and MCF-7 cell line in mixture culture media with various amount of REVIEW solution, which is an example among various OVIS. DMEM-HG was used as basic media. The concentration range of the mixture was limited from 0% to 15%. MTT assay is used for cell viability test. The cell was incubated for 14days and the MTT assay was performed on day 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 throughout the experiment. We used the ELISA reader to measure the Optical Density(O.D) at 595 nm wavelength filter. MCF-7 was linearly proliferated according to culture time and concentrations of OVIS. On the other hand, MG-63 cells were measured the highest O.D value at 12%. The growth rates of both cells cultured in mixed culture media with OVIS are much higher than those in only basic media, DMEMHG, after 14days. It was confirmed that cell cultured at OVIS grows rapidly at certain period although cells showed a negative effect in initial stage.

면역 거부반응이 없는 돼지 소장점막하조직(small intestinal submucosa, SIS)과 천연보습제인 히알루론산(hyaluronic acid, HA)은 생체재료로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 이용하여 스폰지를 제조하고 이들의 특성을 분석하였다. SIS-HA 스폰지는 완성된 SIS 스폰지에 1w%의 HA겔을 첨가하여 동결건조법으로 제조하고 100mM의 가교제를 통해 가교하여 이를 전자주사현미경, 적외선분광기, 물흡수성 실험을 하였다. 초기 세포부착률을 확인하고자 NIH/3T3를 분주하여 MTT 분석법을 수행하였다. FT-IR 분석을 통해 C-O관능기가 관찰되어 SIS-HA 스폰지 내부의 HA가 빠져나가지 않고 고르게 분포되어 있음을 확인하였고, MTT분석을 통하여 제조된 스폰지에서의 높은 세포생존율을 확인하였다. 즉, 본 연구에서 제조한 SIS-HA 스폰지는 SIS와 HA 각각의 특성을 모두 내재하고 있어 조직공학적 담체로 적합할 것이다.

Chitosan cross-linked collagen-glycosaminoglyan (CCGM) is an artificial skin substitute made to form a sponge like dimensional matrix. It can be used to facilitate reconstruction of dermal tissue when applied on large wounds such as severe burns. In order to study the toxicological effects of CCGM the cytotoxicity, local irritation and skin sensitization test were carried out according to the standards of ISO 10993. In the cytotoxicity test utilizing LDH and MTT test, both the CCGM and its extract had no toxicity of Balb/c 3T3 cells. The local irritatioin test on rabbit skin demonstrated that CCGM did not promote any harmful when directly applied on skin. In addition, it did not elicit any allergic reaction in the guinea pig maximization test. Based on these results, it is suggested that CCGM is a material without cytotoxicity, local irritation and allergenicity.
