담배 주류연은 수천가지 종류의 다양한 형태의 화학물질로 구성되어있고, 이들 화학물질의 대부분은 극히 미량의 농도로 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다(Green and Rodgman, 1996). 담배연기 속에서 발암물질로서는 poly cyclic aromatic hydrycarbon (PAHs) 류인 B(a)P를 최초로 보고된 이후, 현재까지 69종의 화합물이 담배연기중의 발암물질로서 알려졌으며, 여기에는 9종의 PAHs 그리고 4종의 aromatic amine, nitrosoamines 및 aldehydes 그리고 다른 무기 및 유기 화합물들을 포함된다. 또한 담배 주류연에는 여러 화학물질들에 의해 유발된 생물학적 독성을 상당히 감소시키는 것으로 확인된 성분들이 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 담배연기 중에 존재하는 항 발암성 효과를 나타내는 성분들의 작용 메카니즘은 발암성 물질 또는 발암성 물질의 대사산물들과 반응을 하거나, 불활성화 시키거나, 세포 구성 물질들과의 반응에서 서로 경쟁하거나, 또는 발암성의 흡수를 간섭함으로서 발암성 효과를 없애거나 또는 감소시키는 것으로 생각된다. 여러 연구자들은 담배연기 응축물에서 종양 성장의 억제 작용을 하는 성분들이 존재하는 것으로 주장 하고 있다.(Hoffmann and Griffin, 1958; Fall et al., 1964; Homburger and Tregier, 1965). 담배 연기 중에는 발암성을 나타내는 성분들과 함께 항 발암성 및 항 돌연변이성 효과를 나타내는 성분들이 존재한다는 것이 다양한 생물학적 평가 연구들에 의해 증명되었다(Slaga and DiGivanni, 1984; Fay et al., 1984; Green and Rodgman, 1996).

Objectives: This article reviewed research on smoking behaviors and smoking-related health problems among university students to suggest evidences for developing smoking control strategies for them. Methods: Domestic research papers were screened through Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), Koreanstudies Information Service System (KISS), Medical Library Information System (MEDLIS), Korean Medical Database (KMbase), and digital national assembly library. International papers were searched mainly via PubMed. Results: Smoking prevalence among male college students were found to be over 50% in majority of Korean studies. While studies on smoking-related health problems were scant in Korea, several recent studies overseas showed possible effects of smoking on health among young adults, including decreased lung function, respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular problems, glucose intolerance, buccal disease, depressive symptoms, and so forth. Besides, smoking behaviors were closely related with other risk behaviors including drinking, and several psychosocial factors. Conclusions: To explore the smoking problem among college students, the first step should be a national representative survey with scientific methods. More research should be focused on the smoking-related problems among college students. To prevent smoking among college students, smoking prevention education, and smoking cessation counseling, and the initiatives of smoke free campus are needed.

Purpose: Workers with chronic health problems find it difficult to maintain their work because of socioeconomic difficulties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between physical, ergonomic, and mental health hazards in the workplace and chronic health problems of Korean workers. Methods: A total of 28,807 wage workers participated in the study and were selected using the Fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2017). Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations between physical, ergonomic, and mental health hazards and chronic health problems. Results: Of the participants, 1,220 (4.23%) had chronic health problems. Even after adjusting the general characteristics, vibration, noise, high temperature, low temperature, dust, chemical and cigarette smoke, fatigue and painful posture, dragging or pushing or moving of heavy objects, repetitive hand or arm movements, working with a computer or smartphone, use of internet or e-mail, and anxiety situations increased the risk of chronic health problems. Conclusion: The study reaffirms that exposure of physical, ergonomic, and mental health hazards in the workplace significantly increases the risk of chronic health problems.

Although the incidence rates of gastric cancer and liver cancer, the most common cancers in Korea, are tending decrease, lung cancer is on the increase every year as cause of cancer death as well as incidence rate in Korea. And cigarette smoke is believed to be responsible for 90% of lung cancer. Many investigators have reported an association between genetic polymorphism of cytochromes P-450 (CYPs) or glutathoine S-transferase (GSTs) and susceptibility to lung cancer.(omitted)

WO$_3$/SnO$_2$ceramics has been suggested as an effective sensing material for monitoring offensive odor or pollutant gases. This work was focussed on improving long-term stability, which has been a principal problem generally taking place in SnO$_2$semiconductor gas sensor. Miniaturized thick film gas sensors were fabricated by screen printing technique. Two types of sensor materials, W doped SnO$_2$and WO$_3$mixed SnO$_2$, were comparatively investigated on those long-term stability and sensitivites to several gases. Small amount of W doping(0.1 mol%) into SnO$_2$largely improved the long-term stability. The W(0.1 mol%) doped SnO$_2$gas sensor had higher sensitivities to both acetone and alcohol compared with WO$_3$(5 wt%) mixed SnO$_2$gas sensor. On the contrary, WO$_3$(5 wt%) mixed SnO$_2$gas sensor showed more superior sensitivity to cigarette smoke due to larger W content.

사람 기관지상피세포주인 BEAS-2B에 담배연기농축액(CSC)을 처리하여 유도된 1198 세포주는 대조군 세포주인 1799에 비해 현저하게 낮은 glutathione 농도와 낮은 glutamate-cysteine ligase(GCL), glutathione peroxidase(GPx), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD), catalase 효소활성을 보였다. 두 세포주를 포도당 존재 하에서 4시간 hypoxia 처리 후 reoxygenation 하면서 시간에 따른 세포의 항산화계 활성을 측정한 결과, 1799 세포주에서는 의미 있는 변화가 관찰되지 않은 반면, 1198 세포주에서는 hypoxia 처리에 의해 glutathione의 농도 및 GSH/GSSG 비와 G6PD 활성이 감소되었고, reoxygenation 기에는 GPx, glutathione reductase(GRd), G6PD, superoxide dismutase 활성이 감소되었다. 그러나 reoxygenation 2시간 이후에는 GRd와 G6PD 활성의 회복이 관찰되었으며, 그 결과 GSH/GSSG 비율이 회복되었다. 이 실험 결과는 CSC가 능력을 현저히 저하시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. Glutathione은 hypoxia-reoxygenation에 의한 산화적 스트레스 하에서 항산화제로서의 역할뿐 아니라, 세포 내 GSH/GSSG 비의 변화를 통해 산화적 스트레스에 대한 항산화계의 적응 반응 여부를 결정하는 중요한 인자로 작용할 것으로 보여진다.

Background: The present study was carried out to asses whether mulberry leaves (MLs) have the potential to inhibit the mutagenic effect of cigarette smoke condensates (CSCs). Methods and Results: ML powder was extracted with 70% ethanol, and a yield of 35.1% by weight was obtained. The 70% ethanol extract of ML was further extracted sequentially using diethyl ether, chloroform, butanol, dichloromethane and water. The crude 70% ethanol extract of MLs and its solvent fractions did not show any mutagenic effect when tested at concentrations up to 1 mg/plate against Salmonella typhimurium TA98. In contrast, the crude 70% ethanol extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSCs in the presence of S-9 mixture. Among the solvent fractions, the diethyl ether fraction showed the highest inhibitory activity, which increased in a dose-dependent manner, inhibiting mutagenesis by approximately 97.1% at a concentration of 1 mg/plate. Conclusions: In this study, we found that a crude 70% ethanol extract of MLs and the diethyl ether fraction themselves are potentially not mutagenic, but inhibit the mutagenic effect of CSCs.

Nicotine is one of the major hazardous components in cigarettc smoke. Nicotine deals a harmful effect to smokers and passive smokers due to its rapid conversion to various carcinogenic metabolites. Nitrosamine-4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is believed to cause lung cancers among the nicotine-derived carcinogens. Recent studies report that NNK synthesis can be inhibited by the metabolism pathway to produce a stable metabolite cotinine from nicotine. Tea polyphenols have been known to contain factors to prevent cancers and to retard progression of cancers. This study aims to correlate tea polyphenol's potential for cancer prevention with an accelerated formation of cotinine. The conversion from nicotine to cotinine in the presence of tea extracts or three polyphenols (Catechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate) was measured in established cell lines and in Xenopus oocytes. Among three lines of cell used, PLC/PRF5 and HEK293 cells showed a fast turnover from nicotine to cotinine while HepG2 cell line showed a marginal difference between groups treated and non-treated with tea polyphenols. When Xenopus oocytes were microinjected with nicotine, tea polyphenols appear to accelerate the conversion of nicotine to cotinine. Among the polyphenols tested in this study, (＋)－catechin showed the best efficiency overall in accelerating conversion from nicotine to cotinine both in the cell lines and in the oocytes. In summary, the present study indicated that tea polyphenols have a positive effect on conversion of nicotine to cotinine.
