녹엽단백질 조제 원료 목초중 diphenol 및 polyphenolase의 측정결과 alfalfa에는 존재 하지 않고, Italian ryegrass, red clover, sorghum 에는 존재가 확인 되었다. 이러한 목초로부터 단백질 추출은 용매를 물만으로 한것과 물에 환원제를 첨가한 것을 사용하여 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질을 조제하여Wistar계 숫컷 흰쥐에 14일간 급여하여 체중증가량, 소화율, PER에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 alfalfa 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질 간에 증체량, 소화율, PER은 차가 인정되지 않았다. Italian ryegrass 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질의 경우 소화율에서 유의차가 인정 되었다. 그러나, 체중증가량, PER은 차가 인정되지 않았다. red clover 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질이 소화율, 증체량, PER은 갈변단백질 보다 유의하게 저하 하였다. 이러한 것은 녹엽단백질의 영양가가 갈변반응에 의해 손상 되어 지고 원료 목초중의 diphenolase 활성이 높을수록 갈변반응에 의해 영양가의 저하가 현저하였다. 녹엽단백질의 아미노산 조성은 갈변에 의해 거의 손상 되지 않았지만, red clover 녹엽단백질의 경우 lysine, histidine 이 조금 감소 하였다. 녹엽단백질의 아미노산 손실은 갈변에 의한 것이 아닌 것으로 생각되어지고 유효성 아미노산에 대하여 금후 검토를 요하는 과제이다.

Objective : To compare the spinal bone fusion properties of activin A/BMP2 chimera (AB204) with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP2) using a rat posterolateral spinal fusion model. Methods : The study was designed to compare the effects and property at different dosages of AB204 and rhBMP2 on spinal bone fusion. Sixty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion using one of nine treatments during the study, that is, sham; osteon only; $3.0{\mu}g$, $6.0{\mu}g$, or $10.0{\mu}g$ of rhBMP2 with osteon; and $1.0{\mu}g$, $3.0{\mu}g$, $6.0{\mu}g$, or $10.0{\mu}g$ of AB204 with osteon. The effects and property on spinal bone fusion was calculated at 4 and 8 weeks after treatment using the scores of physical palpation, simple radiograph, micro-computed tomography, and immunohistochemistry. Results : Bone fusion scores were significantly higher for $10.0{\mu}g$ AB204 and $10.0{\mu}g$ rhBMP2 than for osteon only or $1.0{\mu}g$ AB204. AB204 exhibited more prolonged osteoblastic activity than rhBMP2. Bone fusion properties of AB204 were similar with the properties of rhBMP2 at doses of 6.0 and $10.0{\mu}g$, but, the properties of AB204 at doses of $3.0{\mu}g$ exhibited better than the properties of rhBMP2 at doses of $3.0{\mu}g$. Conclusion : AB204 chimeras could to be more potent for treating spinal bone fusion than rhBMP2 substitutes with increased osteoblastic activity for over a longer period.

한의학에서 당뇨병 (소갈) 처방으로 사용되는 생진양혈탕과 황금탕 처방 성분 중의 하나인 오매의 포도당 이용에 대한 효과를 조사하기 위해서 오매를 70% 에탄올로 추출한 후 메탄올과 물을 섞은 용액으로 단계별로 XAD-4 column으로 분획하였다. 본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 섬유아세포와 지방세포에서 오매의 추출 분획물이 인슐린처럼 작용하는 인슐린성 물질이거나, 인슐린 작용을 향상시키는 인슐린 민감성 물질이거나, 또는 $\alpha$-glucoamylase 활성을 억제하는 물질로 작용하는 지 여부를 조사하였다. 오매 분획물은 인슐린성 물질로 작용하지 않았다. 반면에 20%나 40% 메탄올 분획층은 분화 유도 물질의 작용을 억제하여 3T3-L1 섬유아세포에서 지방세포로의 분화를 억제하였다. 한편 오매 분획층 중 60%, 80% 그리고 100% 메탄올 분획층은 3T3-L1 지방세포에서 인슐린 작용을 향상시키는 인슐린 민감성제로 작용하였다. in vitro 실험에서 20 그리고 40% 메탄올 분획층은 $\alpha$-glucoamylase의 활성을 저하시켜 말토스와 dextrin의 분해를 방해하였다. 그러나 in vivo에서는 오매 에탄올 추출물을 말토스나 dextrin을 투여하기 10분전에 투여하였을 때 최고 혈당 값과 area under the curve 값은 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 오매에는 지방 세포의 분화를 억제하는 물질과 인슐린 민감성을 향상시키는 물질이 함유하고 있으므로 비만을 동반한 당뇨병 및 인슐린 저항성의 치료와 예방에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 중간대뇌동맥을 폐쇄한 대뇌허혈성 손상모델에서 ferulic acid에 의해 조절되는 HO-1과 HO-2의 발현에 관하여 조사하였다. 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley, 수컷)에 ferulic acid (100 mg/kg) 또는 vehicle을 중간대뇌동맥폐쇄술(MCAO) 후 정맥으로 주사하였고 중간대뇌동맥폐쇄술(MCAO)을 실시한 24시간 후 대뇌피질의 조직을 적출하였다. Hematoxylin과 eosin 염색을 통하여 MCAO로 유도된 뇌 손상시 ferulic acid의 보호효과를 확인하였다. MCAO을 시행한 대뇌피질에서는 응축된 핵과 신경세포의 괴사 소견을 보였으나, ferulic acid 투여군에서는 이들 신경세포의 병변을 현저히 완화시켰다. HO-1과 HO-2의 RNA와 단백질 발현의 변화를 reverse-transcription PCR과 Western blot으로 분석하였다. HO-1 발현은 MCAO 후 vehicle 투여군에서 현저히 감소하였으나, MCAO 후 ferulic acid를 투여한 실험군에서는 이들 감소의 완화를 보였으며, MCAO를 시행하지 않은 실험군의 수준으로 유지되었다. 그러나, HO-2의 발현은 MCAO 후 vehicle 투여군과 ferulic acid 투여군에서 유의적인 차이는 관찰되지 않았고 MCAO를 시행하지 않은 실험군의 수준으로 유지되었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과는 허혈성 뇌 손상시 ferulic acid는 HO-1 발현을 조절하였으나, HO-2의 발현에는 영향을 미치지 못함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 허혈성 뇌손상시 ferulic acid는 HO-1의 발현을 조절하여 신경세포를 보호하는 역할을 수행한다는 사실을 확인하였다.

Objective: This study investigated the impact of a single piezocision in the maxillary alveolar process on the speed of tooth movement. The null hypothesis was that the speed of tooth movement will be equal with and without piezocision. Methods: All maxillary molars on one side were moved against the combined incisors in 10 ten-week-old male Wistar rats. Under general anesthesia, a force of 25 cN was applied on either side using a Sentalloy closed coil spring. After placing the orthodontic appliance, vertical corticision was performed using a piezotome under local anesthesia, 2 mm mesial from the mesial root of the first molar on a randomly selected side; the other side served as the control. At the beginning of the treatment, and 2 and 4 weeks later, skull micro-computed tomography was performed. After image reconstruction, the distance between the mesial root of the first molar and the incisive canal, and the length of the mesial root of the first maxillary molar were measured. Moreover, the root resorption score was determined as described by Lu et al. Results: Significantly higher speed of tooth movement was observed on the corticision side; thus, the null hypothesis was rejected. The loss of root length and root resorption score were significantly more pronounced after piezocision than before. A strong correlation was observed between the speed of tooth movement and root resorption on the surgical side, but the control side only showed a weak correlation. Conclusions: Piezocision accelerates orthodontic tooth movement and causes increased root resorption.

Rodent model for chronic cerebral hypoperfusion caused by bilateral carotid artery occlusion (BCAO) show clinically relevant evidences for vascular dementia and impairments of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of fermented garlic (F-Garlic) extract with NO metabolites on cognitive behaviors, synaptic plasticity, and molecular events in the hippocampus following BCAO. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided three experimental groups into: control+water; BCAO+water; BCAO+F-Garlic. Animals were treated with oral administration of F-Garlic in tap water as a drinking water after surgery for 4 weeks. On passive avoidance test and Y-maze test, BCAO+water showed a significant decrease in step-through latency and spontaneous alteration, indicating deficit of hippocampal memory formation but the treatment of F-Garlic significantly increased these cognitive behaviors. In control+water, a robust increase in the amplitude of evoked field excitatory postsynaptic potentials was observed by theta burst stimulation to hippocampal neural circuit indicating formation of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA1. BCAO+water showed a highly significant deficit in LTP induction 4 weeks after BCAO. On other hand, daily oral administration of F-Garlic extract caused the marked preservation of LTP induction. Moreover, parvalbumin was markedly reduced in the CA1, especially, in the stratum radiatum of BCAO+water. In contrast, BCAO+F-Garlic mitigate a significantly reduction of the parvalbumin. In summary, these results suggest that daily oral administration of F-Garlic extract can ameliorate cognitive memory deficit through the preservation of synaptic plasticity and interneurons integrity in the hippocampus in rodent model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

Objective : In this study, we investigated the effect of SAL5(mixing extracts of Schisandra chinensis Baillon, Artemisia capillaris Thunb., and Aloe vera Linne) on chronic ethanol-induced fatty liver model. Methods : Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed Liber-DeCarli (normal), ethanol liquid diet (control), SAL5 (200 mg/kg). We administrated the SAL5 on chronic ethanol-induced fatty liver model for 5 weeks. We measured alkaline phosphtase (ALP), alanine transminase (ALT), aspartate transminase (AST) and ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptase (${\gamma}-GTP$) in serum and triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in liver. Liver histopathology was examined by Hematoxylin-eosin and Oil red O staining of the fixed liver tissues. Real-time PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and MMP-2, MMP-9. Results : SAL5 administration resulted in significantly decreased liver marker enzymes activities of alanine transminase (ALT), ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptase (${\gamma}-GTP$) in serum and triglyceride (TG) activities in liver. The control group decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) with the reduced level of glutathione (GSH) in liver. On the other hand, SAL5 group increased the activities of SOD, CAT and the level of GSH. SAL5 delayed the development of an alcoholic fatty liver by reversing fat accumulation in the liver, as evidenced in histological observations. The gene expression of mRNA were significantly decreased at the $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, NOS-II and MMP-2 by SAL5. Conclusions : These results indicate that SAL5 might have protective effect chronic ethanol-induced fatty liver models.
