복강 내 유착은 단층편평상피로 구성된 복막의 손상으로 장막표면의 염증반응을 일으켜 창상조직의 혈관투과성이 증가하여 많은 장액성 혈액삼출물이 생산되고, 이 혈액삼출물내의 fibrin이 제거되지 않으면 초기섬유소성 유착이 발생한다. 따라서 유착방지는 섬유소성 부착물의 정상적인 용해를 방해하는 인자들과 관계가 있다. Chitosan은 poly-$\beta$(1$\longrightarrow$4)-D-glucosamine으로 chitin을 탈아세틸화시킨 것으로 복강유착방지에 효과가 있다고 알려진 Hyaluronic acid(HA)와 구조상 유사성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 쥐에서 회장에 유착을 유도한 후 PBS (control group), 1% Chitosan Trimer (CT, 1% CT group), 3% CT (3% group), chitin (chitin group)을 복강내 주입하여서 10일 뒤에 유착방지효과, 유착발생정도, 조직검사, 혈액상의 변화를 관찰하였다. 총백혈구수, 총적혈구수, PCV, PLT, Total protein은 전군에서 유의적인 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 조직검사상에서 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았으나, 3% CT군은 다른 군에 비해 Fibrosis와 염증반응정도에 대한 점수가 낮았다. 혈장섬유소원은 전군에서 수술 후 증가하였으나 3% CT군은 대조군에 비해 증가율이 낮아서 유의적인 차이를 보였다 (p<0.05). 유착장소는 전군에서 장막-장막 (60%), 장막-장간막 (13.3%), 장막-고환쪽 결합조직 (10%), 대망-간 (10%), 장막-대망 (3.3%), 장막-맹장3 (3.3%)순으로 발생하였다. 유착발생빈도는 3% CT군이 62.2% 로 대조군 97.7%, 1% CT군 81.8%, chitin군 93.3%에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다 (p<0.05). 유착 형성은 대조군, 1% CT, 3% CT 및 chitin 투여군에서 각각 2.07$\pm$0.81, 1.03$\pm$0.63, 0.64$\pm$0.53 및 1.67$\pm$0.71로 3% CT군은 대조군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였다 (p<0.001).

The cause and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease remain unknown and no definitetherapy exists until now. The present study was conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory effectsof a herbal preparation (HemoHIM) in colitis induced by 30 mg of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups. Each group was treated with 1 mg ofHemoHIM/ml of drinking water, 4 mg of HemoHIM/ml of drinking water, 50 mg of HemoHIM/kgof body weight (i.p. once every other day) or 10 mg/kg of HemoHIMof body weight (i.p. onceevery other day) from the next day. After 2 weeks, rats were sacrificed and morphologic featuresof colons were examined. Ulceration, adhesion, thickening and dilatation were noticed in the colonicmucosa after TNBS instillation. Intraperitoneal injection of HemoHIM (50 and 100 mg/kg of bodyweight) showed the anti-inflammatory effect on adhesion, thickening, dilatation, ulceration, and theinhibition effect on damage score by 72.7% and 90.9%, respectively. Histologically, the colon of TNBS-treated rat showed inflammatory cell infiltration by polymorphonuclear cells, multiple erosive lesionsignificant improvement in these symptoms. The results obtained suggest marked anti-inflamatoryactivity of the HemoHIM at the dose levels examined.

Resection of the bowel is necessary for the repair of a ventral hernia after recovery from trauma in some cases. In such instances, polyester or polypropylene meshcannot be used due to the possibility of infection; we had to use biological mesh instead. We report a case in which a traumatic hernia was repaired with Permacol (Covidien, Norwalk, CT, USA). A 42-year-old male patient had been injured by a factory machine seven months prior to admission. At that time, he had abdominal wall injury and small bowel perforation. His abdominal wall had been a defect after operation. A CT scan of the abdomen showed that the left abdominal wall, which is lateral to left rectus abdominis muscle had only one muscle layer, an external oblique muscle, and that a previous abdominal incision had a defect along the entire incision. During the exploration, 10 cm of small bowel was removed due to firm adhesion to the previous surgical scar. Permacol mesh was applied and fixed with transfascial fixations and tacks by using the intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique. There were no complications after the surgery and the patient was discharged without any problems.

이 실험은 복강 유착 방지효과를 나타내는 Poloxamer/Sodium Alginate (PX/SA) 혼합물의 최소용량과 주요기 관의 독성 여부에 대해 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 건강한 잡종성견 25마리를 음성대조군 (무처치), 양성대조군 (2% carboxymethyl chitosan 용액 처치), 실험군 1 (PX/SA 혼합물 0.25 ml 처치), 실험군 2 (PX/SA 혼합물 0.5 ml 처치), 실험군 3 (PX/SA 혼합물 1.0 ml 처치) 으로 나누고 각 군당 5마리씩 배치하였다. 혈액학 검사 (백혈구,섬유소원)와 혈액화학 검사(AST, ALT, ALP, BUN, Creatinine)를 위해 정맥에서 혈액을 채취하였다. 유착방지효과를 알아보기 위해 돌창자에 찰과상을 일으켜 carboxymethyl chitosan 용액, PX/SA 혼합물을 처치하는 장막 찰과 모델을 이용하였다. 유착부위의 유착강도는 장력측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 조직검사를 위해 각 군의 모든 개로부터 간과 신장 조직을 채취하였다. PX/SA혼합물을 처치한 실험군이 음성 대조군보다 유착발생 빈도와 유착강도 모두 낮게 측정되었다. 실험군 간의 비교에서 실험군 2에서 유착강도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. AST, ALT, ALP, BUN, Creatinine 은 대조군과 실험군 사이 유의적 차이가 발견되지 않았으며, 모든 군에서 얻어진 조직 표본에서도 군간 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과, PX/SA 혼합물 0.5 ml는 복강 유착 형성을 효과적으로 감소시켰으며, 물질이며, 혈액 및 주요 장기에 대한 독성도 없는 것으로 사료된다

천식이 유발된 Balb/c마우스와 동일한 조건의 IL-10 KO 마우스에 천식의 원인으로 알려진 DEP와 지하철역내에서 채집한 PM (10 ${\mu}g/m^3$)을 inhalation chamber,에 넣고 하루 4시간씩 흡입시킨 후 시료들을 채취하여 ICAM-1, VCAM-1의발현을 살펴 천식증상의 악화에 DEP와 PM이 어데한 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 본 실험의 결과 천식이 유발된 일반 Balb/c 마우스에 있어서는 DEP와 PM의 노출에 의하여 ICAM-1 및 VCAM-1의 발현이 세기관지 주위 조직들에서 미약하게 증가하였다. 그러나 IL-10 KO 마우스의 경우 DEP와 PM을 노출시켰을 때 ICAM-1 및 VCAM-1의 발현이 아주 강하게 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 결과는 IL-10에 대한 항체요법이 천식증상의 완화에 쓰일 수 있는 가능성을 암시하며, 한편 자동차 배기가스와 지하철 미세분진의 발생을 예방할 경우 천식과 관련한 세기관지의 염증을 완화시킬 수 있음을 간접적으로 증명한 것이라 할 수 있다.

The paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor (PILR) family consists of two functionally opposite members, inhibitory $PILR{\alpha}$ and activating $PILR{\beta}$ receptors. PILRs are widely expressed in various immune cells and interact with their ligands, especially CD99 expressed on activated T cells, to participate in immune responses. Here we investigated whether PILR-derived agonists inhibit ${\beta}1$ integrin activity as ligands for CD99. PILR-derived peptides as well as PILR-Fc fusion proteins prevented cell adhesion to fibronectin through the regulation of ${\beta}1$ integrin activity. Especially, PILRpep3, a representative 3-mer peptide covering the conserved motifs of the PILR extracellular domain, prevented the clustering and activation of ${\beta}1$ integrin by dephosphorylating FAK and vinculin, which are major components of focal adhesion. In addition, PILRpep3 inhibited transendothelial migration of monocytes as well as endothelial cell tube formation. Furthermore, upon intraperitoneal injection of PILRpep3 into mice with collagen-induced arthritis, the inflammatory response of rheumatoid arthritis was strongly suppressed. Taken together, these results suggest that PILR-derived agonist ligands may prevent the inflammatory reactions of rheumatoid arthritis by activating CD99.

Purpose: Erythropoietin is traditionally known to regulate erythropoiesis, but recently its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury has been studied mainly in cardiovascular and neuronal systems. This study was planned to investigate the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat TRAM flap model. Methods: Superiorly based TRAM flap was elevated and ischemic insult was given for four hours. Thirty minutes before reperfusion, single dose recombinant human Erythropoietin(5000IU/kg) was injected via intraperitoneal route in the treatment group. At 24 hours postoperatively, systemic neutrophil count, tissue myeloperoxidase activity, malonyldialdehyde amount, nitric oxide content, tissue water content and histologic finding of inflammation was evaluated. On 10 days postoperatively, flap survival rate, angiogenesis and change in hematocrit level was evaluated. Results: Tissue nitric oxide level was significantly higher and myeloperoxidase activity was significantly lower in the treatment group 24 hours after reperfusion. Tissue water content was significantly lower in the treatment group. Perivascular neutrophil infiltration and intravascular adhesion was marked in the control group. Mean flap survival after ten days was 69% in the treatment group, and 47% in the control group, demonstrating a significant difference. Neovascularization in the treatment group also outnumbered the control group. No significant hematocrit rise was noted ten days after erythropoietin administration. Conclusion: Recombinant human Erythropoietin improved flap survival in ischemia-reperfusion injured rat TRAM flaps, at least partially owing to suppressed inflammation, increased nitric oxide, and enhanced angiogenesis.

Background: Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is known as a cytokine central to the hematopoiesis of blood cells and to modulate their cellular functions. Besides granulocytes and their precursors, monocytes/macrophages and endothelial cells are direct target cells of G-CSF action. G-CSF influences immune cells in an anti inflammatory way. Methods: To evaluate whether G-CSF has a potential for preventing or ameliorating diseases characterized by mucosal inflammation, we used a mouse model with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced inflammatory colitis. To the mice model G-CSF was administrated daily by intraperitoneal injection. Macroscopic evaluation and immunohistochemical analysis of colonic tissues were performed. Results: Re combinant human G-CSF significantly inhibited LPS-induced TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression in THP-1 cells. As for in vivo relevance, G-CSF dramatically reduced the weight loss of mice, colonic damage, and mucosal ulceration that characterize TNBS colitis. Moreover, G-CSF suppressed the expression of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in TNBS colitis. Conclusion: Current results demonstrate that G-CSF may be an effective agent for the treatment of diseases characterized by mucosal inflammation.

In a variety of animal species, the perinatal exposure of experimental animals to the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo­p-dioxin (TCDD) leads to the immune dysfunction, which is more severe and persistent than that caused by adult exposure. We report here the changes of gene expression and the identification of the marker-genes representing the dioxin exposure. The expressions of the transcripts were analyzed using the 11 K oligonucleotide­microarray from the bone marrow cells of male C57BL/6J mice after an intraperitoneal injection of $1{\mu}g$ TCDD/kg body weight at various time intervals: gestational 6.5 day(G6.5), 13.5 day(G13.5), 18.5 day(G18.5), and postnatal 3 (P3W)and 6 week (P6W). The type of self-organizing maps(SOM) representing the specific exposure dioxin could be identified as follows; G6.5D(C14), G13.5D(C0, C5, C10, C18), G18.5D(7): P3W(C2, C21), and P6W(C4, C15, C20). The candidate marker-genes were restricted to the transcripts, which could be consistently expressed greater than $\pm$2-fold in three experiments. The resulting candidates were 85 genes, the characteristics of that were involved in cell physiology and cell functions such as cell proliferation and immune function. We identified the biomarker-genes for dioxin exposure: smc -like 2 from SOM C14 for the dioxin exposure at G6.5D, focal adhesion kinase and 6 other genes from C0, and protein tyrosine phosphatase 4a2 and 3 other genes from C5 for G13.5D, platelet factor 4 from C7 for G18.5D, fos from C2 for P3W.
