Shinsuwuisaeng-Tang was a drug that treated carbuncle and cellulitis. So, the purpose of this Study was to investigate effect of Shinsuwuisaeng-Tang on the anti-cancer and nitric oxide(NO) production of peritoneal macrophages. We used Shinsuwuisaeng-Tang extract(SWT) with freeze-dried, 8wks-old male mice. and cancer cell lines(L1210, sarcoma-180) for this Study. The proliferation of cells was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assay(MTT assay). The results of this Study were obtained as follow; SWT was showed cytotoxicity on the L1210 and sacoma-180(S-180) cell lines, SWT inhibited significantly proliferation of L1210 cells in L1210 cells transplanted mice, SWT accelerated NO production of peritoneal macrophages in L1210 cells transplanted mice. And SWT inhibited significantly tumor weight, increased significantly body weight and mean survival days in S-180 cells transplanted mice. This results suggest that SWT has anti-cancer by producing NO of peritoneal macrophages.

Familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (fCJD) is characteristic with older age onset, relatively low occurrence rate, slower progression and lower possibility of developing myoclonus, cerebellar, pyramidal signs and visual disturbance compared with classical sporadic CJD. We report a case of 75-year-old male patient presented with sudden onset of right side weakness with Broca's aphasia who has been diagnosed with fCJD with V180I mutation. This case indicates that fCJD with V180I mutation can have stroke-like initial presentation.

This study investigated that change of the nutrients (including fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals) and total phenolic (TP), total flavonoid (TF), and isoflavone contents and antioxidant activities during the storage of soybean leaves containing high isoflavone contents at 5, 25, and 55 ℃ for 180 days. The contents of free amino acids were increased from 1313.81 mg/100 g at 0 day to 1776.15, 1693.93 and 1551.18 mg/100 g at 5, 25, and 55 ℃ storage for 180 days, respectively, but the values of fatty acids were little unchanged. The contents of minerals were detected from 51.65 mg/100 g (0 day) to 49.93 (5 ℃), 50.20 (25 ℃), and 61.21 (55 ℃) mg/100 g at 180 days, respectively. The levels of total isoflavones did not change during the storage periods. In case of storage at 55 ℃, the contents of glycosides (1347.78→2195.13 ㎍/g) and aglycones (342.79→480.61 ㎍/g) increased during storage, while the levels of malonylglycosides (2209.22→1289.48 ㎍/g) decreased. Also, the TP and TF contents were slightly increased from 9.31 and 8.61 mg/g at 0 day to 9.97 and 9.3 mg/g at 180 days, corresponding to the radical scavenging activities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrydrazyl, 2,4,6-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphnoic acid), and hydroxyl increased from 30.91, 55.98 and 23.27% from 37.10, 62.54, and 30.95%, respectively.

Within the framework of the density functional theory combined with the method of non-equilibrium Green's functions (DFT + NEGF), the features of electron transport in fullerene nanojunctions, which are «core-shell» nanoobjects made of a combination of fullerenes of different diameters C₂₀, C₈₀, C₁₈₀, placed between gold electrodes (in a nanogap), are studied. Their transmission spectra, the density of state, current-voltage characteristics and differential conductivity are determined. It was shown that in the energy range of -0.45-0.45 eV in the transmission spectrum of the "Au-C₁₈₀-Au" nanojunction appears a HOMO-LUMO gap with a width of 0.9 eV; when small-sized fullerenes C₂₀, C₈₀ are intercalation into the cavity C₁₈₀ the gap disappears, and a series of resonant structures are observed on their spectra. It has been established that distinct Coulomb steps appear on the current-voltage characteristics of the "Au-C₁₈₀-Au" nanojunction, but on the current-voltage characteristics "Au-C₈₀@C₁₈₀-Au", "Au-(C₂₀@C₈₀)@C₁₈₀-Au" these step structures are blurred due to a decrease in Coulomb energy. An increase in the number of Coulomb features on the dI/dV spectra of core-shell fullerene nanojunctions was revealed in comparison with nanojunctions based on fullerene C₆₀, which makes it possible to create high-speed single-electron devices on their basis. Models of single-electron transistors (SET) based on fullerene nanojunctions "Au-C₁₈₀-Au", "Au-C₈₀@C₁₈₀-Au" and "Au-(C₂₀@C₈₀)@C₁₈₀-Au" are considered. Their charge stability diagrams are analyzed and it is shown that SET based on C₈₀@C₁₈₀-, (C₂₀@C₈₀)@C₁₈₀- nanojunctions is output from the Coulomb blockade mode with the lowest drain-to-source voltage.

This study was performed by the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and micronuclei (MN) assays to investigate the adaptive response to ultraviolet light (UV) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and Sarcoma 180 (S180) cells. The pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV or 2 mM EMS decreased the frequency of SCEs induced by the treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. The pretreatment with UV (1 or 2 J/m$^2$) or EMS (1, 2 or 3 mM) did not affect the SCEs induced by the treatment with 7 J/m$^2$ UV or 10 mM EMS in S180 cells. On the other hand, the pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV or 2 mM EMS decreased the frequency of MN induced by the treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. The pretreatment with UV (1 or 2 J/m$^2$) or EMS (1, 2 or 3 mM) did not affect the frequency of MN induced by the treatment with 7 J/m$^2$ UV or 10 mM EMS in S180 cells. It is suggested that there are adaptive responses at the level of chromosome and micronuclei to UV and EMS in CHO cells.

Objective : Though modern medicine has made various studies in cancer treatment, the results of the treatments are not satisfactory. Considering this, Oriental medicine can be a breakthrough in treatment of cancer, and therefore, its constant research eagerly needed. According to preceding studies, Hangamjedoktang (Kangaizhidu-tang) with Hagocho appeared to be statistically significant against cancer, and therefore to seek a better medication for cancer, Holotrichia which seemed to be effective against cancer was added to the formula, and herbs which showed an anti-tumor effect in preceding studies composed Hangamyagjaebang. The efficacy of both Hangamjedoktang with Holotrichia (HJJ) and Hangamyagjaebang (Kangaiyaocaijang) (HM) was compared. Methods : To examine the anti-cancer effect of HJJ and HM, inhibitory effect on solid tumor growth in mice induced by Sarcoma-180 (s-180), change of body and organ weight in tumor bearing mice and the activity of machrophages and lymphocytes in the spleen were examined. Results : 1. In the HJJ and HM treated groups, tumor growth was markedly decreased. 2. HJJ and HM increased the activity of ALP which is produced from the splenocytes transplanted with S-180. 3. HJJ and HM increased the ACP activity of the macrophages of the mice transplanted with S-180. Conclusion : These results suggest that HJJ and HM are good candidates for new drugs for cancer therapy.

To investigate the influence electrical conductivity (EC) of nutrient solution and light intensity on growth of red leafy lettuce, fresh and dry weights, number of leave, chlorophyll concentration and production efficiency were evaluated through nutrient film technique system. The levels of EC were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and $6.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, and those of light intensity were 120, 150, and $180{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Under photoperiod of 16 h/day, the temperature was maintained in the range of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$. Planting density was $10{\times}10cm$ (100 plants/$m^2$). When red leafy lettuce were grown in the EC range of $0.5{\sim}1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, the fresh and dry weights decreased as the EC levels and light intensity were lowered, however, Hunter's a value showed no significant differences among the treatments of EC and light intensity levels (Ex. 1). The fresh and dry weights and production efficiency ($g{\cdot}FW/kw$) were the highest in the treatment of $3.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and $180{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ when crops were grown under the EC range of EC $1.5{\sim}6.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ (Ex. 2). But the fresh and dry weights, number of leaves, and production efficiency of $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ were the highest when the light intensity was $180{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ (Ex. 3). The SPAD value increased gradually as EC levels were elevated. From the above results, we concluded that optimum levels of EC and light intensity were $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and $180{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively, for production as well as production efficiency of red leaf lettuce in plant factory.
