Aspirin has been widely used as analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Recently, it was elucidated that aspirin have anti-coaggregatory effect in low dose. This study was carried out to investigate the synthesis of aspirin derivatives from aspirin and aromatic compound of antioxidant and its biological activities. Synthesis of aspirin derivatives was prepared by esterification in the presence of 1, 1-carbonyldiimidazole. Biological activities was examined using effect of anti-coagulant on bleeding time, effect of antioxidant and effect of anti-platelet aggregation. As a result, SJ-101 showed strong antioxidative activity and anti-coagulant activity among four compounds. Anti-platelet aggregation of SJ-101 was examined by collagen, ADP, PAF method. SJ-101 exhibited more stronger activity to aspirin at collagen aggregation reaction. These finding demonstrates that SJ-101 is usefull as care drug of aging and old-disease because of its has antioxidant activity, anti-coagulant activity and anti-platelet activity.

Oxidative stress has been implicated in a range of disease states, including end-stage renal failure treated with hemodialysis [Westhuyzen J. et al, 2003]. Free radicals react with biological molecules and destroy the structure of cells, which eventually causes free-radical induced disease such as cancer, renal failure, aging, etc. Exogenous or endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) inhibits superoxide-stimulated urea permeability. In the inner medulla, superoxide generation by local oxidases may stimulate urea transport, and the role of endogenous No may be to dampen this effect by decreasing superoxide levels ［Zimpelmann J. et al, 2003 (Epub ahead of print)］.

Objectives: Even though there has been no consensus on the concept of viscera organ between the oriental and western medicine, we tried to investigate the correlation between clinical biomarkers of five Jang and chronological age and develop the models for predicting five Jang biological ages by statistical analysis. Methods: We obtained data from about 120,000 subjects who visited health promotion centers for health promotion and disease prevention from January 2004 to June 2009. Participants were included if they were over 20 years old, and excluded if reported to have cardiovascular disease or other serious medical illness such as cancer, malignant hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, liver disease, pancreatic disease or renal disease. Among the clinical biomarkers obtained, we selected the biomarkers which were associated with the function of 5 Jang in previous studies, or showed statistically significant correlation with age. Multiple regression models were used for building prediction models of biological age after adjusting for potential confounders for men and women, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to examine the linear relationship between age and various biomarkers, and multiple regression analysis was used for building the prediction models of five Jang biological ages for men and women, respectively. All statistical data analysis was performed by using SPSS Version 12.0 software and statistical significance was obtained if p<0.05. Results: For males, the best models were developed using 12, 2, 8, 3, and 4 biomarkers for predicting biological ages of heart, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidney, respectively (R2 = 0.57, 0.43, 0.11, 0.24, and 0.93, respectively). Similar to males, for the females, 10, 2, 8, 3, and 4 biomarkers were selected as the models respectively (R2 = 0.76, 0.44, 0.14, 0.38, and 0.89, respectively). Conclusions: As we have developed for the first time the models for predicting five Jang biological ages with common clinical biomarkers, it is expected that these models may be used as clinical supplementary tools in the evaluation of aging status and functional decline of five Jang according to age in health promotion centers and private clinics. At the same time, it is considered that the use as objective tools to evaluate aging status and functional decline of each Jang.

Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)은 택사과(Alismataceae)에 속하는 수생 식물이다. Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)의 피부 항노화 활성에 대한 연구는 아직까지 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)로부터 70% 에탄올 추출물 (ECEE)을 제조하고 항산화 및 hyaluronidase 억제 활성을 통해 피부 항노화 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. ECEE는 EC₅₀과 IC₅₀ 값이 각각 31.4, 300, 450 ㎍/mL로 우수한 DPPH, hydrogen peroxide 소거 활성 및 hyaluronidase 억제 활성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. ECEE는 불멸화된 인간 각질세포인 HaCaT 세포에서 1 mM H₂O₂로 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대해 농도 의존적으로 세포 보호 효과 증가 및 세포 내 활성산소종을 생성을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ECEE는 hyaluronic acid (HA) 합성 효소인 hyaluronan synthase 2 발현 수준을 상향 조절하고 HA 분해 효소인 hyaluronidase 2(HYAL2)의 발현 수준을 하향 조절하여 HaCaT 세포에서 HA 생성량을 증가시켰다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 종합하면 ECEE는 항산화, hyaluronidase 억제 및 HA 생성 촉진의 우수한 잠재력을 가진다는 것을 확인하였고 이를 통해 피부 노화를 방지하기 위한 천연 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 충분한 활용 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

When mammalian cells and animals face a variety of internal or external stresses, they need to make homeostatic changes so as to cope with various stresses. To this end, mammalian cells are equipped with two critical stress responses, autophagy and cellular senescence. Autophagy and cellular senescence share a number of stimuli including telomere shortening, DNA damage, oncogenic stress and oxidative stress, suggesting their intimate relationship. Autophagy is originally thought to suppress cellular senescence by removing damaged macromolecules or organelles, yet recent studies also indicated that autophagy promotes cellular senescence by facilitating the synthesis of senescence-associated secretory proteins. These seemingly opposite roles of autophagy may reflect a complex picture of autophagic regulation on cellular senescence, including different types of autophagy or a unique spatiotemporal activation of autophagy. Thus, a better understanding of autophagy process will lead us to not only elucidate the conundrum how autophagy plays dual roles in the regulation of cellular senescence but also helps the development of new therapeutic strategies for many human diseases associated with cellular senescence. We address the pro-senescence and anti-senescence roles of autophagy while focusing on the potential mechanistic aspects of this complex relationship between autophagy and cellular senescence.

Embryo implantation is the crucial step for a successful pregnancy. Diverse factors, including adhesion molecules, growth factors, and cytokines are important for embryo implantation through improving endometrial receptivity. Benzoic acid (BA), a component of various plants, has been shown to have antifungal and antioxidant effects. However, the effect of BA on embryo implantation remains unknown. Here, we showed the contribution of BA for the enhancement of endometrial receptivity through the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)-dependent increase of integrin ${\alpha}V$, ${\beta}3$, and ${\beta}5$ expression. Furthermore, in vivo study using a mifepristone-induced implantation failure model showed that BA definitely improves the numbers of implantation embryos. Taken together, we suggest that BA has a novel function for embryo implantation through the up-regulation of LIF-mediated integrins, and may be a candidate for therapeutic medicine to increase the pregnancy rate.

Bioactive peptides (BAP) showed excellent cosmetic activity than bio-materials such as caffeic acid (CA), gallic acid (GA), and nicotinic acid (NA). Caffeoyl tripeptide-1 (CT-1) is a BAP that is stabilized with Gly-His-Lys (GHK) tripeptide and CA by using Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. Digalloyl tetrapeptide-19 (DT-19) is stabilized by combining Lys-Glu-Cys-Gly with GA and nicotinoyl tripeptide-1 (NT-1) is synthesized by GHK and NA. According to experiments, CT-1 has an excellent anti-oxidant function even with a very small amount of 10 ppm CT-1. DT-19's tyrosinase inhibition activity has the better effect of about 28.57% in 0.01% and 33.33% in 0.005% of concentration and about 7.89% in 0.001% concentration than vitamin-C. In addition, NT-1 is safer than the NA. Almost BAPs like pal-KTTKS, acetyl hexapeptide, and copper tripeptide-1 have the anti-wrinkle effect while DT-19 and NT-1 are applicable for potential BAPs focused on the whitening effect. The three kinds of BAPs like CT-1, DT-19, and NT-1 consisting of amino acids are safe to the skin, and have more excellent stability than bio-materials which are found to be unstable and cause skin irritation. Due to the high biological activity of BAP in the field of skin care, its utilization will increase constantly.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate anti-oxidative, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory activities of Zingiber officinale Roscoe water (ZD) and 50% ethanol extracts (ZE). Method : The antioxidant capacity of ZD or ZE was analyzed by DPPH, ABTS scavenging activities and reducing power, respectively. The anti-aging efficacy was performed with tyrosinase and collagenase inhibition activities. The anti-inflammatory activities were confirmed through inhibition of nitric oxide production and TNF-�� expression in LPS-treated Raw 264.7 cells. Result : As a result of measuring DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, both ZD and ZE extracts increased in concentration-dependent manners. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of water and 50% ethanol extract were similar to that of positive control at high concentration. On reducing power, both ZD and ZE showed higher activities than the positive control at high concentration. On inhibition activities of tyrosinase and collagenase both ZD and ZE showed the large inhibition rates at low concentration. Also, the inhibitory efficacy of ZD on NO and TNF-�� production was better than ZE in RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion : These results suggest that ZD and ZE have anti-oxidative, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Especially, ZD was more effective than ZE. Thus, Ginger extract is considered to be highly useful as a cosmetic or food material with anti-oxidative, anti-aging (prevention of whitening and wrinkle) and anti-inflammatory effects. Also these effects may vary depending on the extraction solvent.
