철-디피리딜-메페남산 삼원착물을 이온교환체로, NPOE(o-nitrophenyl octyl ether)를 가소게, PVC[poly(vinyl chloride)]를 지지체로 사용한 메페남산 이온선택성막 전극을 제작하였다. 디피리딜 화합물은 2,2'-디피리딜, 4,4'-디피리딜 그리고 4,4'-디페닐-2,2'-디피리딜을 이용하였다. 이들 막전극은 pH 8.9의 붕산완충액 중에서 $10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-3}mol/L$ 농도의 메페남산에 대하여 감응전위가 -55.98, -49.47 그리고 -59.35mV/decade를 각각 나타내는 직선성이었다. 방향족 및 지방족 카복실산염의 존재는 전극의 감응에 지장을 주지 않았다.

2018년 한국의 65세 이상 노인 인구는 14.3%로 고령사회로 진입하게 되었으며 2025년 전후로 노인 인구가 20% 이상인 초고령사회로의 진입이 예상된다. 노인들의 경우 여러 의료기관을 방문하여 의약품을 복용하는 경우가 많아 각 약물 간의 상호작용 등의 약물 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 노인 약물관리 제도가 전문화되어 있는 미국의 제도와 초고령사회로의 진입을 앞두고 있는 한국의 제도를 분석하여 체계적인 노인 약물관리 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구의 방법은 한국 및 미국의 노인 약물 관리에 관한 체계적인 문헌 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과 미국에서는 노인들에게 약물 치료 집중 관리제도(Medication Therapy Management, MTM)를 법제화하였고 노인 전문약사 제도를 운영하고 있었다. 한국에서는 노인 약물 관리를 위해 커뮤니티케어 사업을 진행하고 있지만 노인들이 더 안전하게 약을 사용하기 위해서는 노인 전문약사 제도가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been shown to play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The members of the TGF-$\beta$ signaling pathway are being considered as predictive biomarkers for progressive tumorigenesis and molecular targets for the prevention and the treatment of cancer and metastasis. The aim of the present study was to find the clinical significance of the expression of TGF-${\beta}1$ and MMP-2 related to the regional lymph node metastasis in OSCC. This study included 76 cases of primary OSCC, of which 42 cases showed regional lymph node metastases. Immunohistochemistry was used for the localization of protein. The relation between the expression of each protein and clinical variables was statistically evaluated. In results, the expression of TGF-${\beta}1$ both main mass with lymph node metastasis and without lymph node metastasis was found not to be statistically significant (p>0.05). The expression of MMP-2 was found to be statistically significant related to regional lymph node metastasis (p<0.05). When compared the expression in the metastatic lymph node, TGF-${\beta}1$ was significantly highly expressed than MMP-2 (p<0.05). In conclusion, the expression of MMP-2 was significantly elevated in patients with lymph node metastasis as compared to the patients without lymph node metastasis, which could be useful in predicting the risk of lymph node metastasis in OSCC.

We were carried out to monitor pesticide residues in herbal medicine. In Korea Pharmacy, these are no critics for pesticides except 5 kinds of organic chlorines (BHC, DDT, Aldrin, Endrin, Dieldrin) and heavy metals. We analysed 53 kinds of pesticides consisted of 14 kinds of organochlorines, 20 kinds of organophosphoruses, and 19 kinds of pesticides estimated endocrine disruptor on 373 samples consisted with 30kinds of herbal medicine. In this study, Domestic, Chinese and Japanese herbal medicines were tested with GC/ECD, GC/NPD and then confirmed with GC/MSD. Recoveries were 75$\sim$l10% in ECD detector and 76$\sim$97% in NPD detector. Detection limits were 0.004$\sim$0.064ppm in ECD detector and 0.006$\sim$0.094ppm in NPD detector. Organochlorines and others were not detected in samples.

One of the potential causes of age-related neuronal damage can be reactive oxygen species (ROS), as the brain is particularly sensitive to oxidative damage. In the present study, we investigated the effects of aging and dietary restriction (DR) on ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes in cerebrum, hippocampus, and cerebellum of 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month-old rats. ROS generation significantly increased with age in cerebrum of ad libitum (AL) rats. However, no significant age-difference was observed in hippocampus and cerebellum. DR significantly decreased ROS generation in cerebrum and cerebellum at 24-months. On the other hand, the increased lipid peroxidation of AL rats during aging was significantly reduced by DR in all regions. Our results further showed that catalase activity decreased with age in cerebellum of AL rats, which was reversed by DR, although SOD activity had little change by aging and DR in all regions. In a similar way, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase activity increased with age in cerebrum of AL rats, while DR suppressed it at 24-months. These data further support the evidence that the vulnerability to oxidative stress in the brain is region-specific.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and types of the adverse events (AEs) associated with oral fluconazole and itraconazole and factors associated with specific types of AEs. Methods: We analyzed AEs reported by community pharmacies nationwide over 10 years using the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System database. Various AE terms were categorized into 18 types, and concomitant medications were classified by drug-drug interaction (DDI) severity. The relationship between the specific type of AE and age, sex, and number of concomitant medications was investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 879 AE reports of fluconazole and 401 reports of itraconazole were analyzed; of these reports, 321 and 83 reports of fluconazole and itraconazole, respectively, described concomitant drug administration categorized as DDI severity of contraindicated or major. Women had a higher risk of psychiatric AEs associated with fluconazole use (OR, 1.587; p=0.042). Polypharmacy increased the risk for psychiatric AEs (OR, 3.598; p<0.001 for fluconazole and OR, 2.308; p=0.046 for itraconazole). In dermatologic AEs, the mean age of patients who received itraconazole was lower than that of patients who received fluconazole (46.3±16.8 vs. 54.9±15.4; p<0.001). Co-administration of fluconazole with 1-3 drugs increased the risk of neurological AEs (OR, 1.764; p=0.028). Conclusion: When using fluconazole and itraconazole, psychiatric AEs should be noted, particularly in women and in case of polypharmacy; moreover, when fluconazole is co-administered with other drugs, attention should be paid to the occurrence of neurological AEs.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the analysis of the lignans eleutheroside B and eleutheroside E in the fruits of Acanthopanax species. A reverse-phase system using a gradient of $H_2O$ and acetonitrile as the mobile phase was developed and detection was at 210 nm. The analysis was successfully carried out within 20 min. The content of eleutheroside B and eleutheroside E in Acanthopanax species was measured in the fruits of A. senticosus (0.58 and $1.66\;{\mu}g/mg$, respectively), A. sessiliflorus (1.15 and $8.49\;{\mu}g/mg$, respectively), A. koreanum (2.16 and $1.80\;{\mu}g/mg$, respectively), and A. divaricatus (1.06 and $7.08\;{\mu}g/mg$, respectively).

Leea asiatica (L.) Ridsdale, a folk medicinal plant is used by the ethnic people of North East India for the treatment of hepatic disorder. In this study, we have investigated the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of L. asiatica leaves against acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity. Methanol extract of L. asiatica (150 and 300 mg/kg/day, p.o.) were administered to rats for three consecutive days followed by single acetaminophen (3000 mg/kg, p.o.) administration on $3^{rd}$ day. After 48 h of acetaminophen administration animals were sacrificed and biochemical estimation of serum, in vivo antioxidant activity using liver tissue were carried out. High levels of serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, serum alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, total cholesterol and triglycerides were observed in disease control group, which found near to normal in extract treated groups. Higher dose exhibited significant hepatoprotective activity against acetaminophen induced toxicity. Level of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase in liver tissue, and reduced glutathione in liver and blood were also significantly increased in extract (300 mg/kg) treated animals compare to disease control group. In this study we found that leaves of L. asiatica exhibited potent hepatoprotective activity against acetaminophen induced hepatic damage in experimental animals which justify the folklore claim, and the possible mechanism of this activity may be due to strong antioxidant activities of extract.
