This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxic effects of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (A. macrocephala Koidz.) extract on NIH 3T3 fibloblast. SK-MEL-3 (HBT 69) and KB (ATCC No, OCL 17) cell lines. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. 10.2 mg/ml Concentration of A. macrocephala Koidz. extracts in SK-MEL-3 showed that their susceptibility (sensitivity) to these compounds decreased in the following order ; adriamycin > H₂O > ethyl acetate > ethyl alcohol > chloroform > n-hexane in SK-MEL-3 cell lines ; 5-FU > H₂O > n-hexane > ethyl acetate > ethyl alcohol > chloroform in KB cell lines. In order to develop an antimicrobial agent, A. macrocephala Koidz. was extracted with solvents. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of each solvent extract of A. macrocephala Koidz. against microogranisms were also examined. Antimicrobial activities of ampicillin and ketoconazole as references were compared to those of each solvent extract of A. macrocephala Koidz. The antimicrobial activity of the ethyl acetate soluble extract of A. macrocephala Koidz. had growth inhibition activity against S. mutans and P. putida (MICs. 500 ㎍/ml). These results suggest that the ethyl acetate soluble extract of A. macrocephala Koidz. possessed antitumorous and antimicrobial agents

Objective : This study was to review on the prostate disease-related studies with Acupuncture therapy in renowned medical internet site of PubMed, and to make master plan of the study, especially, on Bee Venom Acupuncture(BVA) of Prostate disease and then to devise the idealistic therapeutic ways of it. Method : We made the internet search with the key words of bee venom(bee venom therapy, apitoxin, apitherapy, bee sting, bee sting therapy), acupuncture, prostate, prostatitis, prostrate cancer in Pubmed, from June 1st to July 1st,2004. Results : 1.25 papers were found in 19 publised jounals. of which two named'Urology'and Prostate' had three papars, two called 'JUrology' and 'Cancer Immunol Immunother' had two papers, and the others had a paper respectively. 2. In the classification by papers' types, Review papers were 8 and Original were 17 where there were 5 clinical trials, 11 experimental studies and 1 epidemiologic paper. Of 5 clinical trials, 2 belonged to Randomized Control Study, and of 11 experimental studies, 4 belonged to in vitro and 7 belonged to in vivo with in viro studies, and 1 epidemeologic belonged to meta-analysis. 3. In the classification by prostate diseases, 4 were about prostatitis, 3 were about prostate related symptoms, 16 were about prostate cancer, and two were about the others. 4. In the classification by applied treatment methods, 5 were related with Acupuncture, 10 were related with BVA(Bee Venom, Bee), and 10 were related with the others. Of 5 related with Acupuncture, 3 used general acupuncture, 1 used electrical acupuncture, and 1 used general acupuncture and electrical acupuncture at the same time. 5. In 2 RCTs of Clinical trials, Control group was set up to the group using different compatible treatment method or using meridians not related with treating prostate disease. Single or double blind methods couldn't be found. 6. In the clinical trials, IPSS, NIH, CPSI or subjective global assessment were used as the Index of Evaluation. 7. The Leg Greater Yang Bladder Meridian(B), The Leg Lesser Um Kidney Meridian(K) and Conception Vessel Meridian(CV) were used as major meridians, and B10(Taejo, Dazhu), B23(Shinsu, Shenshu), B28(Panggwangsu, Pangguangshu), B35(Hoeyang, Huiyang), B39(Wiyang, Weiyang), B40(Wijung, Weizhong), B54(chilbyon, Zhibian), K1(Yongchon, Yongquan), K10(Umgok, Yingu), CV3(Chungguk, Zhongji), CV4(Kwanwon, Guanyuan),S6(Hyopko, Jiache) were used as acupoints. Electrical acupuncture(EA) was considered to be more important and CV3(Chungguk, Zhongji), CV4(Kwanwon, Guanyuan) were mainly selected as EA applied acupoints. 8. It is mostly said that Acupuncture appeared to be a safe, effective, and durable treatment alternative in improving symptoms of patients with prostate diseases, refractory to conventional medicine. A larger controlled study was required to confirm these encouraging initial results. Conclusion : Papers about BVA of Prostate cancer or Prostatitis were not found, and low permeability of Prostate is concerned, BVA with the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effect can be adopted as a new alternatives of Prostate disease treatment, so it is thought that Study of how to make access to prostate, animal experiment including in vivo and in vitro and more clinical trials with using acupoints on related meridian should be followed.

폐경 이후 여성에서 발생되는 에스트로겐의 감소는 피부노화와 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 피부의 정상적 상태와 기능을 저하시키게 된다. 지난 10여 년간 보고된 많은 연구결과를 살펴보면, 에스트로겐은 폐경 이후 여성의 피부에서 콜라겐 감소를 막아주고, 탄력을 회복시키며, 건조한 피부를 개선시키는 등의 피부 안티에이징 효능을 가지는 것을 알 수 있다. 에스트로겐과 유사한 구조로 인해 파이토에스트로겐이라 알려진 이소플라본은 자외선에 의해 유도된 피부 손상을 보호하는 기작이 널리 알려져 왔으나 피부세포에서 에스트로겐과 유사한 안티에이징 효능을 가지는지에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 콩류 등에 많이 함유된 이소플라본인 다이드제인이 에스트로겐과 유사한 활성 및 효능을 가지는지 밝히고자 하였다. 먼저 에스트로겐 수용체와의 결합을 통한 transcriptional activity에 미치는 효과를 luciferase assay를 통해 살펴본 결과, 다이드제인은 대조군에 비해 농도 의존적으로 estrogen receptor-dependent transcriptional activity를 유의하게 증가시켰다. 다음으로 사람의 피부 섬유아세포를 이용하여 다이드제인이 세포외 기질단백질 성분들의 발현에 미치는 효과를 조사한 결과, 다이드제인은 콜라겐 타입 I, 콜라겐 타입 IV, 엘라스틴 및 피브릴린-1의 발현을 유의하게 증가시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 실험조건에서 에스트로겐 단독 효능과의 비교 분석을 통해 다이드제인은 에스트로겐과 유사한 효능을 가진다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 다이드제인은 기존에 알려진 이소플라본의 광보호 효능과 더불어 파이토에스트로겐 효능을 가짐으로써 갱년기 여성의 피부 안티에이징을 위해 활용할 수 있을 것이라 제안한다.

Pleurotus nebrodensis is an edible and commercially available mushroom in Korea. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the anticancer and immunopotentiating activities of crude polysaccharides, extracted in methanol, neutral saline, and hot water (hereafter referred to as Fr. MeOH, Fr. NaCl, and Fr. HW, respectively) from the fruiting bodies of P. nebrodensis. ${\beta}$-Glucan and protein contents in Fr. MeOH, Fr. NaCl, and Fr. HW extracts of P. nebrodensis ranged from 23.79~36.63 g/100 g and 4.45~6.12 g/100 g, respectively. Crude polysaccharides were not cytotoxic against sarcoma 180, HT-29, NIH3T3, and RAW 264.7 cell lines at a range of $10{\sim}2,000{\mu}g/mL$. Intraperitoneal injection with crude polysaccharides resulted in a life prolongation effect of 11.76~27.06% in mice previously inoculated with sarcoma 180. Treatment with Fr. NaCl resulted in an increase in the numbers of spleen cells by 1.49 fold at the concentration of $50{\mu}g/mL$, compared with control. Fr. HW improved the immuno-potentiating activity of B lymphocytes through an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity by 1.65 fold, compared with control at $200{\mu}g/mL$. Maximum production of nitric oxide ($14.3{\mu}M$) was recorded in the Fr. NaCl fraction at $200{\mu}g/mL$. Production of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was significantly higher, compared to control, and IL-6 production was highest, in contrast to TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, and positive control, concanavalin at the tested concentration of the various fractions. Results of the current study suggest that polysaccharides extracted from P. nebrodensis have a strong anticancer effect and may be useful as an ingredient of biopharmaceutical products for treatment of cancer.

Poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) was blended with poly[$\omega$-methacryloyloxyethyl phospho-rylcholine-co-ethylhexylmethacrylate (PMEH)] (PLGA/PMEH) to endow with new functionality i.e., to improve the cell-, tissue- and blood-compatibility. The characteristics of surface properties were investigated by measurement of contact angle goniometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). NIH/3T3 fibroblast and bovine aortic endothelial cell were cultured on control and PLGA/PMEH surfaces for the evaluation of ceil attachment and proliferation in terms of surface functionality such as the concentration of phosphoryl-choline. Also, the behavior of platelet adhesion on PLGA/PMEH was observed in terms of the surface functionality. The contact angles on control and PLGA/PMEH surfaces decreased with increasing PMEH content from 75$^{\circ}$ to about 43$^{\circ}$. It was observed from the FTIR-ATR spectra that phosphorylcholine groups are gradually increased with increasing blended amount of MPC. The experimental P percent values from ESCA analysis were more 3.28∼7.4 times than that of the theoretical P percent for each blend films. These results clearly indicated that the MPC units were concentrated on the surface of PLGA/PMEH blend. The control and PLGA/PMEH films with 0.5 to 10.0 wt% concentration of PMEH were used to evaluate cell adhesion and growth in terms of phosphorylcholine functionality and wettability. Cell adhesion and growth on PLGA/PMEH surfaces were less active than those of control and both cell number decreased with increasing PMEH contents without the effect of surface wettability. It can be explained that the fibronectin adsorption decreased with an increase in the surface density of phosphorylcholine functional group. One can conclude the amount of the protein adsorption and the adhesion number of cells can be controlled and nonspecifically reduced by the introduction with phosphorylcholine group. Morphology of the adhered platelets on the PLGA/PMEH surface showed lower activating than control and the number of adhered platelets on the PLGA/PMEH sample decreased with increasing the phosphorylcholine contents. The amount of fibrinogen adsorbed on the PLGA/PMEH surface demonstrated that the phospholipid polar group played an important role in reducing protein adsorption on the surface. In conclusion, this surface modification technique might be effectively used PLGA film and scaffolds for controlling the adhesion and growth of cell and tissue, furthermore, blood compatibility of the PLGA was improved by blending of the MPC polymer for the application of tissue engineering fields.
