This study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects of airborne particulate matters using single cell gell elec trophoresis (comet assay) in A549 human lung carcinoma cells. The total suspended particulate (TSP) was collected on back-up filter in Chuncheon, Kangwon Do, South Korea from April, 2003 to February, 2005. The concentrations of TSP, B(a)p and most of heavy metals seemed to be higher in spring and winter, and lower in summer. And they showed higher concentration in the commercial areas and the residential area having more traffics than in the rural area. It was found that A549 cells interacting with the organic extract of TSP showed more DNA single-strand breaks compare to untreated cells. The genotoxicity of the organic extract of TSP was increased with the pre-treatment of S-9 mixture during the culture or with the treatment of endonuclease after cell lysis. The DNA damage by the organic extract of TSP was higher in winter and the commercial area than in summer and the rural area. This study suggests that TSP, heavy metals and B(a)P analyzed showed significant variation depend on the seasons and the areas which are correlated with the DNA damage evaluated by Comet assay, indicating that genotoxic biomarker is useful for toxicological evaluation of air quality.

본 논문에서는 왼손(left-handed)과 오른손(right-handed) 방향으로 각각 $180^{\circ}$ 트위스트(${\pi}$-twist)된 액정상을 두 개의 안정상태로 가지는 쌍안정(bistable) 액정 디스플레이(liquid crystal display)를 제안한다. 제안된 소자는 액정과 자외선경화 폴리머 물질의 혼합물의 비등방성 상분리 방법으로 형성된 격벽에 의해 화소고립된(pixel-isolation) 구조를 가지며, 인가전압의 주파수에 따라 유전율 이방성의 부호가 바뀌는 이중주파수(dual-frequency) 특성의 네마틱(Nematic) 액정을 사용한다. 두 안정된 액정상 사이의 스위칭은 인가전압의 주파수를 연속적으로 변화시킴으로써 이루어지며, 주파수 변화에 따른 액정의 유체 효과에 의해 발생하므로 응답특성이 매우 빠르다. 두 액정상은 카이랄 도펀트(chiral dopant)가 아니라 격벽이 가지는 앵커링(anchoring)의 영향으로 안정화됐기 때문에 거의 동일한 탄성에너지(elastic free energy)를 가지게 되어 우수한 메모리 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 위상지연필름을 이용한 투과형 광학보상을 통해 높은 정면 명암비(contrast ratio)를 가질 수 있다.

Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold disease in more than 200 plant species, is an economically important pathogen that is mainly controlled by synthetic fungicides. Synergistic fungicide mixtures can help reduce fungicide residues in the environment and mitigate the development of fungicide-resistant strains. In this study, we screened microbial culture extracts on Botrytis cinerea to identify an antifungal synergist for tebuconazole. Among the 4,006 microbial extracts screened in this study, the culture extract from Schizophyllum commune displayed the most enhanced activity with a sub-lethal dosage of tebuconazole, and the active ingredient was identified as schizostatin. In combination with 5 ㎍/ml tebuconazole, schizostatin (1 ㎍/ml) showed disease control efficacy against gray mold on tomato leaf similar to that achieved with 20 ㎍/ml tebuconazole treatment alone. Interestingly, schizostatin showed demethylation inhibitor (DMI)-specific synergistic interactions in the crossed-paper strip assay using commercial fungicides. In a checkerboard assay with schizostatin and DMIs, the fractional inhibitory concentration values were 0.0938-0.375. To assess the molecular mechanisms underlying this synergism, the transcription levels of the ergosterol biosynthetic genes were observed in response to DMIs, schizostatin, and their mixtures. Treatment with DMIs increased the erg11 (the target gene of DMI fungicides) expression level 15.4-56.6-fold. However, treatment with a mixture of schizostatin and DMIs evidently reverted erg11 transcription levels to the pre-DMI treatment levels. These results show the potential of schizostatin as a natural antifungal synergist that can reduce the dose of DMIs applied in the field without compromising the disease control efficacy of the fungicides.

Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant commonly used as an ingredient in dosing vehicles for pre-clinical in vivo studies (e.g., pharmacokinetic studies, etc.). Tween 80 increased apical to basolateral permeability of digoxin in Caco-2 cells suggesting that Tween 80 is an in vitro inhibitor of P-gp. The overall objective of the present study was to investigate whether an inhibition of P-gp by Tween 80 can potentially influence in vivo absorption of P-gp substrates by evaluating the effect of Tween 80 on the disposition of digoxin (a model P-gp substrate with minimum metabolism) after oral administration in rats. Rats were dosed orally with digoxin (0.2 mg/kg) formulated in ethanol (40％, v/v) and saline mixture with and without Tween 80 (1 or 10％, v/v). Digoxin oral AUC increased 30 and 61％ when dosed in 1 ％ and 10％ Tween 80, respectively, compared to control (P＜0.05). To further examine whether the increase in digoxin AUC after oral administration of Tween 80 is due, in part, to a systemic inhibition of digoxin excretion in addition to an inhibition of P-gp in the GI tract, a separate group of rats received digoxin intravenously (0.2 mg/kg) and Tween 80 (10％ v/v) orally. No significant changes in digoxin IV AUC was noted when Tween 80 was administered orally. In conclusion, Tween 80 significantly increased digoxin AUC and Cmax after oral administration, and the increased AUC is likely to be due to an inhibition of P-gp in the gut (i.e., improved absorption). Therefore, Tween 80 is likely to improve systemic exposure of P-gp substrates after oral administration. Comparing AUC after oral administration with and without Tween 80 may be a viable strategy in evaluating whether oral absorption of P-gp substrates is potentially limited by P-gp in the gut.

본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물폐수와 양돈폐수를 특별히 전처리 하지 않고 3:7의 비율로 혼합하여 연속반응공정을 이용한 수소생산의 최적 인자를 도출하기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과 수소발생량은 pH 5.5의 조건에서 가장 많이 발생하였으며, 이를 통해 음식물류폐기물과 양돈폐수의 혼합시의 수소생산의 최적 pH는 5.5 임을 확인하였다. HRT에 따른 수소발생량은 3일보다 4일의 경우에 높은 수소발생량을 보였으며, 이는 HRT값의 변화에 따라 수소발생미생물의 활성에 크게 관여하는 것으로 HRT역시 수소발생미생물에 중요한 인자로 작용한다고 판단된다. 유기물의 제거율은 운전 6일째에 최대 TS 52%, VS 71%, TSS 83%, VSS 89%의 제거율을 기록하였으며, 수소생산 공정을 통하여도 유기물의 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Objectives: This study aimed to reveal the pharmacological properties of the newly prescribed herbal mixture, Chenmadansamgamibokhap-tang(CDBT), against hypoxia-induced neuronal cell injury (especially mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line, HT-22 cells) and their corresponding mechanisms. Methods: A cell-based in vitro experiment, in which a hypoxia condition induced neuronal cell death, was performed. Various concentrations of the CDBT were pre-treated to the HT-22 cells for 4 h before 18 h in the hypoxia chamber. The glial cell BV-2 cells were stimulated with $IFN{\gamma}$ and LSP to produce inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species. When the neuronal HT-22 cells were treated with this culture solution, the drug efficacy against neuronal cell death was examined. Results: CDBT showed cytotoxicity in the normal condition of HT-22 cells at a dose of $125{\mu}g/mL$ and showed a protective effect against hypoxia-induced neuronal cell death at a dose of $31.3{\mu}g/mL$. CDBT prevented hypoxia-induced neuronal cell death in a dose-dependent manner in the HT-22 cells by regulating $HIF1{\alpha}$ and cell death signaling. CDBT prevented neuronal cell death signals and DNA fragmentation due to the hypoxia condition. CDBT significantly reduced cellular oxidation, cell death signals, and caspase-3 activities due to microglial cell activations. Moreover, CDBT significantly ameliorated LPS-induced BV-2 cell activation and evoked cellular oxidation through the recovery of redox homeostasis. Conclusions: CDBT cam be considered as a vital therapeutic agent against neuronal cell deaths. Further studies are required to reveal the other functions of CDBT in vivo or in the clinical field.

Background: Herbicides such as glyphosate, paraquat, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid have been reported to cause adverse side effects through production of reactive oxygen species. However, there were no data representing the adverse effects of a mixture herbicide usage in farmers, especially the changes in oxidative marker and antioxidant defense. This study aimed to determine the urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) level in farmers using mixed herbicides. Methods: Ninety-three farmers were recruited, and two spot urine samples (before and after work) were collected. The urinary MDA level was evaluated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assay, and the urinary GSH level was determined using the enzymatic recycling method. Results: Sixty-two percent of the participants were men, and 59% of the participants worked in a farm for 20-40 years. The common combinations of herbicide usage were glyphosate with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (36.5%). There was no significant difference between pre- and post-work urinary MDA and GSH levels among the 3 groups of herbicides. However, the urinary MDA levels in farmers using the combination of glyphosate and paraquat were significantly higher than those found in farmers using glyphosate alone. The associated factors with changes in MDA levels found that the exposure intensity index (B = 0.154), the cumulative exposure intensity index (B = 0.023), and wearing gloves while working (B = -2.347) were found to be significantly associated with MDA level. Conclusion: The results suggest that the combined use of glyphosate and paraquat caused a significant increase in urinary MDA levels. Moreover, intensity of exposure to herbicide and wearing gloves were associated with the level of MDA.
