This study was indicated to enhance the anti-inflammation activities by the fermentation of the fruits of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott. The extracts by 70% ethanol (EE) showed better biological activities than those by hot water (WE) from campared result of the effect of extraction solvents. Then, the extract from 70% ethanol extraction was further fermented by lactic acid, denoted as FEE. For antioxidant activities, the FEE had showed the highest value as 0.832 of reducing powder, in comparison with those of EE and WE. Cytotoxicity of the water extraction (WE) was measured for 12.06% in addition of $1.0mg/m{\ell}$ of FEE. For anti-inflammation activities, NO production from the macrophage, RAW 264.7 was observed as $7.24{\mu}M$ and $8.52{\mu}M$ from FEE and EE, respectively. Prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) production from human fibroblast cell, CCD-986sk, was also estimated for $152pg/m{\ell}$ in addition of $1.0mg/m{\ell}$ of the FEE. The lowest production of both IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ were $3.5pg/m{\ell}$ and $865.5pg/m{\ell}$, respectively in addition of $1.0mg/m{\ell}$ of the FEE, whereas $74.5pg/m{\ell}$ and $982.4pg/m{\ell}$ in treated with same concenrations of the EE. It was also found that the FEE was higher amounts than other extracts through HPLC analysis of the anthocyanins. These results strongly indicate that fermentation process of the lactic acid could enhance anti-inflammation activities of extracts by increasing the amounts of the anthocyanins, especially cyanidin-galactoside. Our results suggest that the application of the fermentation process for other medicinal herbs can be improved their biological activities.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of electric current stimuli and high-voltage electric field treatments on brown rice germination. The brown rice stimulated by electrical current stimuli, functional electrical stimuli of a pulse type, and high-voltage electric field treatments were observed (Type I, II and III). Treatment Type I was a method of semi-soaking brown rice with electric current stimuli of 0.13 V/cm, 0.19 V/cm, and 0.25 V/cm into Petri-dishes for 72 hours. Type II was a method of semi-soaking brown rice with functional electrical stimuli of a pulse type(DC 1 V, 1 Hz, 5%, and duty cycles of 5%, 20%, and 35%) into Petri-dishes for 72 hours. Type III was a method of water-soaking with high-voltage electric field treatments for 60 hours. High-voltage electric field treatments at 15 kV/cm were also conducted for 2.5 min, 7.5 min, and 10 min, respectively. The germination rate and the sprout growth of brown rice germinated by electric current stimuli with 0.13 V/cm, 0.19 V/cm, and 0.25 V/cm were increased by about 10-15% compared with those of the control group. The germination rate and the sprout growth of brown rice germinated by functional electrical stimuli of pulse type(DC 1 V, 1 Hz, 5% duty cycle) were increased by about 10∼15% compared to those of the control group. Also, the best effective treatment among high-voltage electric field treatments was the 10 min group at 15 kV/cm. The germination rate and the sprout growth of brown rice germinated by this treatment of 10 min at 15 kV/cm were increased by about 10∼20% compared to those of the control group. The treatments of electric current stimuli and high-voltage electric field accelerated the germination rate and sprout growth of brown rice by about 10∼15% compared to those of the control group.

Flos Sophorae, the dried flower bud of Sophora japonica L, possesses anti-inflammatory properties, prevents and treats blood capillary and hypertension diseases and can also be used as a hemostat. However, the effect of Flos Sophorae on breast cancer invasion is unknown. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which degrades the extracellular matrix, is a major component in cancer cell invasion. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of Flos Sophorae extract (FSE) on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression and cell invasion, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cells. FSE inhibited the TPA-induced transcriptional activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$). These results indicate that FSE-mediated inhibition of TPA-induced MMP-9 expression and cell invasion involves the suppression of NF-${\kappa}B$ pathway in MCF-7 cells. Thus, FSE may have therapeutic potential for controlling breast cancer invasiveness.

High-density micromass culture was needed to take three dimensions culture with ASCs(adipose derived stromal cells) and chondrogenesis. However, the synthetic polymer has hydrophobic character and low affinity to cells and other biomolecules. Therefore, the surface modification without changes of physical and chemical properties is necessary for more suitable condition to cells and biomolecules. This study was performed to investigate the effect of surface modification of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) scaffold by plasma treatment (P(+)) on the adhesion, proliferation and chondrogenesis of ASCs, and not plasma treatment (P(-)). ASCs were isolated from human subcutaneous adipose tissue obtained by lipectomy and liposuction. At 1 hour 30 minutes and 3days after cell seeding onto the P(-) group and the P(+) group, total DNA amount of attached and proliferated ASCs markedly increased in the P(+) group (p < 0.05). The changes of the actin under confocal microscope were done for evaluation of cellular affinity, at 1 hour 30 minutes, the shape of the cells was spherical form in all group. At 3rd day, the shape of the cells was fiber network form and finely arranged in P(+) group rather than in P(-) group. RT-PCR analysis of cartilage-specific type II collagen and link protein were expressed in 1, 2 weeks of induction. Amount of Glycoaminoglycan (GAG) markedly increased in P(+) group(p < 0.05). In a week, extracellular matrix was not observed in the Alcian blue and Safranin O staining. However in 2 weeks, it was observed that sulfated proteoglycan increased in P(+) group rather than in P(-) group. In conclusion, we recognized that plasma treatment of PLGA scaffold could increase the hydrophilic property of cells, and provide suitable environment for high-density micromass culture to chondrogenesis

Purpose: Fibrillar collagens like type I collagen, are the major constituent of the extracellular matrix and structural protein of bone. Also, it can be a scaffold for osteoblast migration. The purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of absorbable atelo-collagen sponge (Teruplug$^{(R)}$, Terumo biomaterials Co., Tokyo, Japan) insertion in tooth extraction sites on periodontal healing of the second molar, healing of the fractured mandibular bone and new bone formation of third molar socket after the extraction of the impacted third molar with mandibular angle fracture. Methods: In our study of six cases of mandibular angle fractures, all of them underwent the extraction of the third molar tooth & absorbable atelo-collagen sponge insertion in tooth extraction site. Three of them had a intraoral infection & oral opening to fracture site, two of the six had dental caries, and only one had reduction problem due to third molar position. Six consecutive patients with noncomminuted fractures of the mandibular angle were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using one noncompression miniplates and screws placed through a transoral incision. Results: All of the patients have showed good postoperative functions and have not experienced complications requiring second surgical intervention. There was well healing of the mandibular bone and the most new bone formation of third molar socket after the extraction of the impacted third molar with mandibular angle fracture. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that absorbable atelo-collagen sponge is relatively favorable bone void filler with prevention of tissue collapse, food packing, and enhance periodontal healing. Thus, the use of atelo-collagen sponge and one noncompression miniplate seems to be relatively easy, safe, and effective for the treatment of fractures of the mandibular angle and third molar extraction.

기존 연질 구조의 하이드로겔은 낮은 기계적 강도로 인하여 생의학 분야에서 응용이 제한된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 폴리비닐알코올(PVA: poly(vinyl alcohol))기반 하이드로겔에 셀룰로오스 나노크리스탈(CNCs)을 첨가하여 CNCs가 기계적 특성 및 약물전달 효율에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 제조된 하이드로겔은 FT-IR 분석으로 아세탈 및 알데히드 결합으로 가교결합된 망상구조(semi-IPN: semi-interpenetrating polymer network)로 합성된 것이 확인되었다. CNCs 함량이 증가될수록 수분 흡수 및 팽윤도가 감소했으며, 점탄성은 증가하였다. 또한 CNCs의 첨가는 약물 로딩량의 증가와 약물 방출량의 지속성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 결과는 CNCs를 하이드로겔에 첨가하는 것이 하이드로겔의 약물전달 효율성 및 기계적 특성을 개선시키는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

생물반응기를 이용한 대량 번식 방법 개발의 기반을 마련하고자 현삼 조직의 액체배양에서 직접 체세포배 발생에 미치는 치상조직과 식물 생장조절제의 상호영향을 조사하였다. 식물체의 부위에 따라 전혀 다른 양상을 보였는데, 잎, 줄기 및 엽병조직을 치상한후 체세포배 발생 정도를 살펴본 결과 줄기 절편을 배양하였을 때 체세포배 발생율이 가장 높았다. 또한 유식물체로 발달되기까지 약 3주의 기간이 소요되어 빠른 속도로 성장이 이루어진 반면, 뿌리의 형성은 이루어지지 않았다. 엽병을 접종 재료로 하여 3주간 배양하였을 때는 직접체 세포배를 통한 shoot는 형성은 되었으나 줄기 절편에 비해 체세포배 발생율은 낮았으며, 뿌리 발생도 이루어지지 못하였다. 잎조직을 액체 배지에 치상하였을 경우 체세포배 발생에 소요되는 기간이 줄기와 엽병에 비해 상대적으로 길었으며 , 배양 8주 후에는 완전한 식물체로 발달하였다. 액체배양에서 체세포배 형성에 영향하는 생장조절제로는 BA효과가 컸으혀, BA에 옥신류인 IAA와 NAA를 첨가함에 따라 탈분화가 진행되어 체세포배 발생을 감소시키는 경향을 보였다. 짧은 배양 시간 동안 많은 유식물체를 얻을 수 있는 최적의 조건은 BA 05 mg/ l 나 1.0 mg/ l 로 첨가시킨 NS 액체배지에 줄기 부위를 치상 조직으로 이 용하는 것이 가장 효과적 이었다.
