In continuous efforts for discovery of novel potent antitumor agents from natural products, fifty-seven methanolic extracts derived from indigenous Korean plants were primarily evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity in cultured human lung (A549) and colon (Col2) cancer cells. As a result, 16 plant extracts were found to be active against A549 cells and 15 extracts were active against Col2 cells in the criteria of $IC_{50}$<$50\;{\mu}g/ml$. In particular, the extracts of Calystegia soldanella $(IC_{50}$<$8.0\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;A549;IC_{50}=27.4\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;Col2)$, Heloniopsis orientalis $(IC_{50}=4.6\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;A549; IC_{50}=4.5\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;Col2)$, and Thuja koraiensis $(IC_{50}=1.2\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;A549;IC_{50}=0.6\;{\mu}g/ml\;in\;Col2)$ showed a potent cytotoxic activity. Further study for the identification of active compounds from these lead extracts might be warranted.

Vedolizumab (VDZ) has been approved for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) in patients aged ≥18 years. We report a case of a pediatric patient with Crohn disease (CD) who was successfully treated with VDZ. A 16-year-old female developed severe active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) during treatment with infliximab (IFX). IFX was stopped, and TB treatment was started. After a 6-month regimen of standard TB medication, her pulmonary TB was cured; however, gastrointestinal symptoms developed. Due to the concern of the patient and parents regarding TB reactivation on restarting treatment with IFX, VDZ was started off-label. After the second dose of VDZ, the patient was in clinical remission and her remission was continuously sustained. Ileocolonoscopy at 1-year after VDZ initiation revealed endoscopic healing. Therapeutic drug monitoring conducted during VDZ treatment showed negative antibodies to VDZ. No serious adverse events occurred during the VDZ treatment. This is the first case report in Korea demonstrating the safe and effective use of VDZ treatment in a pediatric CD patient. In cases that require recommencement of treatment with biologics after recovery of active pulmonary TB caused by anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, VDZ may be a good option even in pediatric IBD.

Dendropanax morbiferus H. Lev has been reported to have some pharmacologic activities and also interested in functional cosmetics. We found that the water extract of D. morbiferus leaves significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin formation in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)-induced B16-F10 cells. D. morbiferus reduced melanogenesis-related protein levels, such as microphthalmia? associated transcription factor (MITF), TRP-1, and TRP-2, without any cytotoxicity. Two active ingredients of D. morbiferus, (10E)-9,16-dihydroxyoctadeca-10,17-dien-12,14-diynoate (DMW-1) and (10E)-(?)-10,17-octadecadiene-12,14-diyne-1,9,16-triol (DMW-2) were identified by testing the anti-melanogenic effects and then by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis. DMW-1 and DMW-2 significantly inhibited melanogenesis by the suppression of protein kinase A (PKA)/cyclic AMP (cAMP)-responsive binding protein (CREB) and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. DMW-1 showed a better inhibitory effect than DMW-2 in α-MSH-induced B16-F10 cells. D. morbiferus and its active component DMW-1 inhibited melanogenesis through the downregulation of cAMP, p-PKA/CREB, p-p38, MITF, TRP-1, TRP-2, and tyrosinase. These results indicate that D. morbiferus and DMW-1 may be useful ingredients for cosmetics and therapeutic agents for skin hyperpigmentation disorders.

Under the active search for biologically active novel agents for cancer prevention and treatment, some agents have been found from plants which are easily available. Our previous research on them revealed that C. annuum L. var. angulosum Mill have high antiproliferating effect on cancer cells. However, it has not been known whether the anticancer efficacy is different according to each part of C. annuum L. var. angulosum Mill or whether it can be changed by timing of harvest or solvent for extraction. Thus we compared the efficacy of each part of C. annuum L. var. angulosum Mill and assessed how much difference in the efficacy can be made according to the time of harvest or solvents for extraction. We observed the morphologic change and apoptosis 48 hr after treatment with the extract of each part of C. annuum L. var. angulosum Mill in MCF-7 mammary gland adenocarcinoma cells and human hepatoma cells. We also counted cancer cells by trypan blue method and MTT method to check the cytotoxicity. The leaf extract showed the highest anticancer effect among all the parts of C. annuum L. var. angulosum Mill; 50％ and 70％ reduction in the number of cancer cells was observed at 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι and 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι, respectively. It was more than 2 times as potent as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). We found chromosomal fragmentation, clumping, and destuction by PI staining, and DNA fragmentation by electrophoresis. In conclusion, this study suggests that leaf extraction using water as solvent has the highest antiproliferative and apoptotic activity in cancer cells compared with other parts of extraction.

Strain BCNU 5011 was isolated from forest soil samples collected in the Taebaek mountain in the Gangwon province, Korea. The biochemical, physiological and 16S rRNA sequence analysis strongly indicated that this isolate was most closely related to Paenibacillus polymyxa. A maximum production level of antimicrobial substances of Paenibacillus sp. BCNU 5011 was achieved under aerobic incubation at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days in SST broth.Paenibacillus sp. BCNU 5011 showed a broad spectrum of activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, including methicllinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Paenibacillus sp. BCNU 5011 was also shown to inhibit the growth of different potential human pathogenic bacteria and fungi in vitro. Peptide extract showed better antimicrobial activity than solvent extracts. But active antimicrobial compounds might be included in both peptide extract and solvent extracts. Further separation, purification and identification of active principles leads project to develop antimicrobial agents and anti-MRSA agents.

This paper is based on the view that film should be conceived as a form of cultural practice whose meaning is always in the process of being produced within diverse socio-cultural contexts and aims to examine the ways in which the meaning of Korean film is (re)mediated or received in diverse cultural contexts outside the country. In this paper, we employ two theoretical grounds. Firstly, it positions itself in line with the audience studies within the field of cultural studies where the audience is conceived as active agents who produce the meaning of a popular culture text. The recruitment of the theoretical propositions from the audience studies enables recognition of the significance of the reception in film practice which recently seems to be oriented on production and distribution. Secondly, we conceive transnationality of film as that which is being produced in the process of transaction between the film and the audience, that is to say, transnationality is a form of discourse that emerges upon cultural interaction. The empirical work involves examination of a set of reviews of four films--Chihwaseon, Oldboy, Thirt, Poety--that have been published in daily newspapers and some popular film magazines in the U. S., the U. K. and France. Through the analysis of the film reviews, we identify four interpretive schemes or rather discourses recruited via which the Korean films are approached and understood: auteurism, formalism, universal themes, emotional response. We propose that these four kinds of discourse provide a common ground for the audience from different cultural backgrounds to understand Korean film. Furthermore, we also suggest that transnationality of Korean cinema needs to be reconsidered in terms of the reception as the audience from different socio-cultural backgrounds should be understood as active agents who are capable of engaging in Korean cultural texts such as film in their own way producing various meanings and these are also constituent of the meaning of the cultural texts.
