  • Eosinophil degranulation plays a crucial role in tissue inflammatory reactions associated with helminth parasitic infections and allergic diseases. Paragonimus westermani, a lung fluke causing human paragonimiasis, secretes a large amount of cysteine proteases, which are involved in nutrient uptake, tissue invasion, and modulation of hos's immune responses. There is, however, limited information about the response of eosinophils to direct stimulation by cysteine proteases (CP) secreted by P. westermani. In the present study, we tested whether degranulation and superoxide production from human eosinophils can be induced by stimulation of the 2 CP (27 kDa and 28 kDa) purified from excretory-secretory products (ESP) of P. westermani newly excysted metacercariae (PwNEM). A large quantity of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) was detected in the culture supernatant when human eosinophils isolated from the peripheral blood were incubated with the purified 27 kDa CP. Furthermore, the 27 kDa CP induced superoxide anion production by eosinophils in time- and dose-dependent manners. In contrast, the purified 28 kDa CP did not induce superoxide production and degranulation. These findings suggest that the 27 kDa CP secreted by PwNEM induces superoxide production and degranulation of human eosinophils, which may be involved in eosinophil-mediated tissue inflammatory responses during the larval migration in human paragonimiasis.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to radiographically and clinically compare the effect of extracellular matrix (ECM) membranes on dimensional alterations following a ridge preservation procedure. Methods: One of 2 different ECM membranes was applied during a ridge preservation procedure. A widely used ECM membrane (WEM; Bio-Gide, Geistlich Biomaterials, Wolhusen, Switzerland) was applied in the treatment group and a newly developed ECM membrane (NEM; Lyso-Gide, Oscotec Inc., Seongnam, Korea) was applied in the control group. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and alginate impressions were obtained 1 week and 6 months after the ridge preservation procedure. Results were analyzed using the independent t-test and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There were no significant differences between the ECM membranes in the changes in the dimension, width, and height of the extraction socket or the quantity of bone tissue. Conclusions: The NEM showed comparable clinical and radiographic results to the WEM following the ridge preservation procedure.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of regenerative therapy with a collagenated bone graft and resorbable membrane in intrabony defects, and to evaluate the effects of the novel extracellular matrix (ECM)-based membrane clinically and radiologically. Methods: Periodontal tissue regeneration procedure was performed using an ECM-based resorbable membrane in combination with a collagenated bovine bone graft in intrabony defects around the teeth and implants. A novel extracellular matrix membrane (NEM) and a widely-used membrane (WEM) were randomly applied to the test group and the control group, respectively. Cone-beam computed tomography images were obtained on the day of surgery and 6 months after the procedure. Alginate impressions were taken and plaster models were made 1 week and 6 months postoperatively. Results: The quantity of bone tissue, the dimensional changes of the surgically treated intrabony defects, and the changes in width and height below the grafted bone substitutes showed no significant difference between the test and control groups at the 6-month examination. Conclusions: The use of NEM for periodontal regeneration with a collagenated bovine bone graft showed similar clinical and radiologic results to those obtained using WEM.

  • Cellular redox state is known to be perturbed during ischemia and that $Ca^{2+}$ and $K^2$ channels have been shown to have functional thiol groups. In this study, the properties of thiol redox modulation of the ATP-sensitive $K^2$ ($K_{ATP}$) channel were examined in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Rabbit ventricular myocytes were isolated using a Langendorff column for coronary perfusion and collagenase. Single-channel currents were measured in excised membrane patch configuration of patch-clamp technique. The thiol oxidizing agent 5,5'-dithio-bis-(2-nitro-benzoic acid) (DTNB) inhibited the channel activity, and the inhibitory effect of DTNB was reversed by dithiothreitol (disulfide reducing agent; DTT). DTT itself did not have any effect on the channel activity. However, in the patches excised from the metabolically compromised cells, DTT increased the channel activity. DTT had no effect on the inhibitory action by ATP, showing that thiol oxidation was not involved in the blocking mechanism of ATP. There were no statistical difference in the single channel conductance for the oxidized and reduced states of the channel. Analysis of the open and closed time distributions showed that DTNB had no effect on open and closed time distributions shorter than 4 ms. On the other hand, DTNB decreased the life time of bursts and increased the interburst interval. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a substance that reacts with thiol groups of cystein residues in proteins, induced irreversible closure of the channel. The thiol oxidizing agents (DTNB, NEM) inhibited of the $K_{ATP}$ channel only, when added to the cytoplasmic side. The results suggested that metabolism-induced changes in the thiol redox can also modulate $K_{ATP}$ channel activity and that a modulatory site of thiol redox may be located on the cytoplasmic side of the $K_{ATP}$ channel in rabbit ventricular myocytes.

  • 흰쥐 해마(hippocampus)에서 acetylcholine(Ach) 유리에 미치는 $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체의 역할과 post-receptor 기전에 있어서 adenylate cyclase 계의 관여여부에 관한 지견을 얻고자 하여 $[^3H]-choline$으로 평형시킨 해마 slice를 사용하여 $[^3H]-ACh$ 유리에 미치는 여러가지 약물들의 영향을 관찰하였다. $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체 흥분제인 $N^6-cyclopentyladenosine(CPA,\;0.1{\sim}10\;{\mu}M)$은 전기자극$(3Hz,\;5\;Vcm^{-1},\;2\;ms,\;rectangular\;pulses)$에 의한 $[^3H]-ACh$ 유리를 용량 의존적으로 감소시켰다. $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체 차단제인 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine$(DPCPX,\;1{\sim}10\;{\mu}M)$은 용량 의존적으로 $[^3H]-ACh$ 유리를 증가시켰으며, 이때 기저(basal)유리 또한 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었고, $2\;{\mu}M$ DPCPX 전처리는 CPA의 효과를 길항하여 CPA에 의한 용량반응곡선을 우측으로 이동시킴을 볼 수 있었다. G protein 억제제인 N-ethylmaleimide$(NEM,\;10\;&\;30\;{\mu}M)$는 그 자체에 의하여 자극에 의한 ACh 유리를 증가시켰으며, 기저유리 또한 증가함을 볼 수 있었다. NEM 전처리에 의하여 CPA의 효과는 완전히 소실되었다. 한편 adenylate cyclase 활성화제인 forskolin$(0.3{\sim}10\;{\mu}M)$은 기저유리에 변함없이 용량의존적인 $[^3H]-ACh$ 유리의 증가를 초래하였으며 $3\;{\mu}M$ forskolin 전처리는 대량$(10\;{\mu}M)$의 CPA의 효과를 제외하고는 CPA의 효과를 억제시킴을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 실험 결과로 흰쥐 해마의 choline 작동성신경의 presynaptic $A_1-adenosine$ heteroreceptor는 ACh 유리에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, ACh 유리의 조절에 Gi-단백질을 통한 adenylate cyclase 계의 관여가 확실하다 하겠다.

  • 흰쥐 해마(hippocampus)에서 norepinephrine(NE) 유리에 미치는 $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체의 post-receptor 기전에 관한 지견을 얻고자 하여 $^3H-norepinephrine$으로 평형시킨 해마 절편을 사용하여 adenosine의 $^3H-NE$ 유리에 미치는 여러가지 약물의 영향을 관찰하였다. Adenosine($1{\sim}30{\mu}M$)은 전기자극(3 Hz, 2 ms, 5 Vcm-1, 구형파)에 의한 NE 유리를 용량 의존적으로 감소시켰고, 이 효과는 선택적인 $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체 차단제인 $8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine(2{\mu}M)$에 의해 차단되었다. G-단백 억제제인 N-ethylmaleimide(NEM, 10과 $30{\mu}M$)는 그 자체로써 전기자극으로 유발시킨 NE 유리를 증가시켰으며, adenosine의 NE 유리 억제효과는 NEM 전처리에 의하여 완전히 소실되었다. Protein kinase C 활성화제인 $4{\beta}-phorbol$ 12,13-dibutyrate(PDB, $1{\mu}M$)는 NE 유리 증가를 일으켰고, 이 효소 억제제인 $4{\beta}-polymyxin$ B(PMB, 0.1 mg)는 NE 유리감소를 일으켰으며, adenosine에 의한 NE 유리 감소효과는 PDB에 의해 억제되었고, PMB 전처리하에서는 감소효과가 출현하지 않았다. $Ca^{2+}$-통로 차단제인 $nifedipine(1{\mu}M$)은 adenosine의 NE 유리 억제효과에 영향을 미치지 못하고, ATP에 의존적인 $K^+-$통로 차단제인 glibenclamide역시 adenosine의 NE 유리 억제효과에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 그러나 delayed rectifier $K^+-$통로 차단제인 tetraethylammonium(TEA, 3 mM)은 그 자체로 NE 유리를 증가 시켰으며, adenosine의 NE 유리 억제효과를 차단함을 볼 수 있었다. 8-bromo-cAMP(100과 $300{\mu}M$) 그 자체로는 NE 유리에 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 8-bromo-cAMP 전처리에 의하여 adenosine의 NE 유리 억제효과가 억제됨을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 실험결과로 흰쥐 해마에서 $A_1-adenosine$ 수용체를 통한 adenosine의 NE 유리 감소는 G-단백에 의존적이며, 이러한 효과에 protein kinase C, TEA에 예민한 $K^+-$통로 및 adenylate cyclase계가 복합적으로 관여하고 nifedipine에 예민한 $Ca^{2+}-$통로와 glibenclamide에 예민한 $K^+-$통로는 관여하지 않는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Confluent AGMK cells were infected by large plaque SV40 virus. Levels of DNA polymeras $({\alpha}\;and\;{\beta})$ were measured in the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. The activities of DNA $polymerase-{\alpha}$ which found in both the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm were increased approximately eight folds at 48 hours after infection of SV40 virus. Only insignificant but constant amounts of DNA $polymerase-{\beta}$ were found either in the nucleus of the SV40 infected cell or of the uninfected cell. The characteristics of the SV40 virus induced DNA polymerases were compared with that of the uninfected cellular DNA polymerase in regard of the effects of pH, salt concentration, NEM concentration and temperature on those enzyme activities. No differential effect was found between both enzymes. Endouclease activities wre examined in the purified DNA $polymerase-{\alpha}\;and\;{\beta}$. The low level of endonuclease activity which might cut SV40 DNA 1 at one site was observed in the DNA $polymerase-{\alpha}$ whereas high but nonspecific endonuclease activities were found in the DNA $polymerase-{\beta}$.

  • A physical phenomenon is observed through analysis of the Hodgkin-Huxley's model that is, according to Maxwell field equations a fired neuron can yield magnetic fields. The magnetic signals are an output of the neuron as some type of information, which may be supposed to be the conscious control information. Therefore, study on neural networks should take the field effect into consideration. Accordingly, a study on the behavior of a unit neuron in the field is made and a new neuron model is proposed. A mathematical Memory-Learning Relation has been derived from these new neuron equations, some concepts of memory and learning are introduced. Two learning theorems are put forward, and the control mechanisms of memory are also discussed. Finally, a theory, i.e. Neural Electromagnetic(NEM) field theory is advanced.
