  • Many herbicides that are applied at the soil before weed emergence inhibit plant growth soon after weed germination occurs. Plant growth has been known as an irreversible increase in size as a result of the processes of cell divison and cell enlargement. Herbicides can influence primary growth in which most new plant tissues emerges from meristmatic region by affecting either or both of these processes. Herbicides which have sites of action during interphase($G_1$, S, $G_2$) of cell cycle and cause a subsequent reduction in the observed frequency of mitotic figures can be classified as an inhibitor of mitotic entry. Those herbicides that affect the mitotic sequence(mitosis) by influencing the development of the spindle apparatus or by influencing new cell plate formation should be classified as causing disruption of the mitotic sequence. Sulfonylureas, imidazolinones, chloroacetamides and some others inhibit plant growth by inhibiting the entry of cell into mitosis. The carbamate herbicides asulam, carbetamide, chlorpropham and propham etc. reported to disrupt the mitotic sequence, especially affecting on spindle function, and the dinitroaniline herbicides trifluralin, nitralin, pendimethalin, dinitramine and oryzalin etc. reported to disrupt the mitotic sequence, particularly causing disappearence of microtubles from treated cells due to inhibition of polymerization process. An inhibition of cell enlargement can be made by membrane demage, metabolic changes within cells, or changes in processes necessary for cell yielding. Several herbicides such as diallate, triallate, alachlor, metolachlor and EPTC etc. reported to inhibit cell enlargement, while 2, 4-D has been known to disrupt cell enlargement. One potential danger inherent in the use of soil acting herbicides is that build-up of residues could occur from year to year. In practice, the sort of build-up that would be disastrous is unikely to occur for substances applied at the correct soil concentration. Crop injury caused by soil applied herbicides can be minimized by (1) following the guidance of safe use of herbicides, particularly correct dose at correct time in right crop, (2) by use of safeners which protect crops against injury without protecting any weed ; interactions between herbicides and safeners(antagonists) at target sites do occur probably from the following mechanisms (1) competition for binding site, (2) circumvention of the target site, and (3) compensation of target site, and another mechanism of safener action can be explained by enhancement of glutathione and glutathione related enzyme activity as shown in the protection of rice from pretilachlor injury by safener fenclorim, (3) development of herbicide resistant crops ; development of herbicide-resistant weed biotypes can be explained by either gene pool theory or selection theory which are two most accepted explanations, and on this basis it is likely to develop herbicide-resistant crops of commercial use. Carry-over problems do occur following repeated use of the same herbicide in an extended period of monocropping, and by errors in initial application which lead to accidental and irregular overdosing, and by climatic influence on rates of loss. These problems are usually related to the marked sensitivity of the particular crops to the specific herbicide residues, e.g. wheat/pronamide, barley/napropamid, sugarbeet/ chlorsulfuron, quinclorac/tomato. Relatively-short-residual product, succeeding culture of insensitive crop to specific herbicide, and greater reliance on postemergence herbicide treatments should be alternatives for farmer practices to prevent these problems.

  • In this paper, twenty-five kinds of food presented in Sooljip(戌集) 5 and 6 of Food collections of 'Kosa-sibi Jip(攷事十二集)' have been classified into four : Staple food, subsidiary food, Tuck(rice cake) and Han-gwa(Korean confectionery), and Tang-jng and tea. Cooking processes have been examined and scientifically analyzed in terms of cooking, Fourteen kinds of Jook (thick gruel with cereal) as well as Urak-Jook were presented among the methods of making Jook, one of staple foods. Milk and ground rice were boiled together into Urak-Jook, which was nutritious because of carbohydrate, added to milk. Hong-sa Myun was mode of ground shrimps, ground bean, ground rice and flour which were kneaded together. It was a nutritiously balanced food. Nineteen kinds of Kimchi presented in this book were classified by the recipes. The five of Jook-soon Ja, U-so Ja, Tam-bok Ja and Jo-gang were made by adding red malt and cereals(boiled rice or candies). Jo-gang, Jo-ga and Jo-gwa-chae were made by adding salt and rice wine. With salt and fermenters added, eight were made. Chim-jup-jeo-ga was made by adding Jang(soy-bean sauce) and the inner chaff of wheat instead of salt. The four of Ka-za-san, Hwang-gwa-san, Tong-gwa-san and Jo-gang were made by adding salt and vinegar. Jo-gang was made by adding salt, rice wine, residue of rice wine and candies. The four of Kae-mal-ga, Ku-cho-chim-chae, Un-gu-hwa and Suk-hwa-chim-chim-chae were made by adding salt and spices. San-got-Kimchi was made without salt. San-got-Kimchi and Suk-hwa-chim-chae were made originally in Korea. Suk-hwa-chim-chae, in particular, was first classified as a kind of Kimchi in this book and oysters were added, which is notable. Pork could be preserved longer when smoked oven the weak fire of thatch ten days and nights. Dog meat was sauced and placed on the bones in a pot. A porcelain was put on the top of the pot. Flour paste sealed the gap between the porcelain and the pot. Some water was poured into the porcelain, and the meat was steamed, with two or three thatched sacks burned, which was a distilled dry steaming. This process has been in use up to now. Various cooking methods of chicken were presented from in Umsik-dimi-bang to in Chosun Musang Sinsik Yori Jebup. These methods were ever present regardless of ages. Such measuring units as Guin(斤) and Nyang(兩) were most frequently used in cooking processes of this book, except in case of Jang(soy bean sauce), vinegar and liquor. Twenty eight kinds of kitchenware and cookers were used, of which porcelains wee most used and pans and sieves followed. The scientific eight cooking methods were as follows. First, salt was refined through saturated solution. Next, it was recommended Hong-sa Myun containing shrimps should not be taken along with pork, which is thought to be a proper diet in terms of cholesterol contained by shrimps and pork. Third, meat was coated with thin gruel and quickly roasted and cleared of the dried gruel membrane, which prevented nutrients from exuding and helped to make the meat well-done. Fourth, The fruit of paper mulberry trees has the protease which can soften meat. Therefore when meat was boiled with th fruit of paper mulberry trees, it can be softened easily. Fifth, pork was smoked over the weak fire of thatch. Sixth, in cooking dog meat, distilled dry steaming raised the boiling point and made it possible to preserve meat longer. Seventh, in boiling the sole of a bear, lime was added, which made meat tender by making the pH lower or higher than that of raw meat. Finally, in boiling down rice gluten, a porcelain in the pot prevented boiling over the brim, which is applied to pots in which to boil medical herbs.

  • The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) disease group are fatal neurodegenerative disorders affecting a wide range of hosts. The group includes kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, scrapie in sheep and goats and Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle. The exact nature of the infectious agent involved in the transmission of these diseases remains controversial. However, a central event in their pathogenesis is the accumulation in infected tissues of an abnormal form of a host-encoded protein, the prion protein (PrP). Whereas the normal cellular protein is fully sensitive to protease ($PrP^{sen}$), the disease-associated prion protein ($PrP^d$) is only partly degraded ($PrP^{res}$), its amino-terminal end being removed. BSE was first reported in the mid-80s in the UK. Ten years later, a new form of human prion disease, variant CJD (vCJD) developed in the wake of the BSE epidemic, and there is now strong scientific evidence that vCJD was initiated by the exposure of humans to BSE-infected tissues, thus indicating a zoonotic disease. However, the ban on the feeding of animal-derived proteins to ruminants, and the apparent lack of vertical transmission of BSE, have led to a decline in the incidence of the disease within cattle herd and therefore, an assumed decreased risk for human contacting vCJD. The origin of the original case(s) of BSE still remains an enigma even though three hypotheses have been raised. Hypotheses are i) sheep- or goat-derived scrapie-infected tissues included in meat and bone meal fed to cattle, ii) a previously undetected sporadic or genetic bovine TSE contaminating cattle feed or iii) originating from a human TSE through animal feed contaminated with human remains. A host cellular membrane protein ($PrP^C$), which is abundant in central nervous system tissue, appear to be conformationally altered in the diseased host into a prion protein ($PrP^{Sc}$). This $PrP^{Sc}$ is detergent insoluble and partially protease-resistant ($PrP^{res}$). The term $PrP^{res}$ is normally used to describe the protein detected after protease treatment, in techniques such as Western immunoblotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay using fresh/frozen tissue. Immunohistochemistry may performed with formalin-fixed tissues. Also, clinical signs of the BSE are one of the major diagnostic indicators. Recently, atypical forms (known as H- and L-type) of BSE have appeared in several European countries, Japan, Canada and the United States. An unusual case was also reported in a miniature zebu. The atypical BSE fall into two groups based on the relative molecular mass (Mm) of the unglycosylated $PrP^{res}$ band relative to that of classical BSE, one of the higher Mm (H-type) and the other lower (L-type). Both types have been detected worldwide as rare cases in older animals, at a low prevalence consistent with the possibility of sporadic forms of prion diseases in cattle. This raises the unwelcome possibility that vCJD could increase in the human population. Now, active surveillance program against BSE is going on in Korea. In regional veterinary service lab, ELISA is applied to screen the BSE in slaughter and confirmatory tests by Western immunoblotting and immunohistochemisty are carried out if there are positive or suspect in the screening test. Also, the ruminant feed ban is rigorously enforced. Removal of specified risk materials such as brain and spinal cord from cattle is mandatory process at slaughter to prevent the infected material from entering the human food chain.

  • It was well known that calcium sulfate was biocompatible, resorbed rapidly in the body, had potential as a good barrier membrane. Platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) was one of polypeptide growth factor that had been reported as a biological mediator which regulates activities of wound healing process including the cell proliferation, migration and metabolism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination of calcium sulfate and PDGF on periodontal ligament cells in vitro to use as a regeneration promoting agent of periodontal tissue. Human periodontal ligament cells were prepared from the premolar tooth extracted for the orthodontic treatment. Cells were cultured in ${\alpha}-MEM$ contained with 20% FBS, at the $37^{\circ}C$, 100% of humidity, 5% $Co_2$ incubator. Cells were inoculated and cultured into 96 well culture plate with $1{\times}10^4cells/well$ of ${\alpha}-MEM$ for 1 day. After discarding the medium, those cells were cultured in ${\alpha}-MEM$ contained with 10% FBS alone(control group), in calcium sulfate(calcium sulfate group), in calcium sulfate treated with 15ng/ml of PDGF-BB(calcium sulfate+PDGF group), in ${\alpha}-MEM$ contained with 10% FBS treated with 15ng/ml of PDGF-BB(PDGF group) for 1, 2, 3 day respectively. And then each group was characterized by examining of the cell counting, MTT assay, collagen synthesis. The results were as follows. 1. In the analysis of cell proliferation by cell counting, both calcium sulfate group and calcium sulfate plus PDGF group showed no stastically significant difference compared to control group, but there was stastically significant difference between PDGF group and calcium sulfate group at 1, 2 day(P<0.05). 2. In the analysis of cell proliferation by MTT assay in calcium sulfate extracts, both calcium sulfate group and calcium sulfate plus PDGF group showed no stastically significant difference compared to control group, but there was stastically significant difference between PDGF group and calcium sulfate group at 2, 3 day, and between calcium sulfate plus PDGF group and calcium sulfate group at 2 day(P

  • Ras 신호전달체계는 세포내 다양한 결합 분자들과 더불어 세포의 분열과 세포의 이동에 관여한다. Dynamin 단백질은 endocytosis와 분비과정에서 vesicle를 분리하는데 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 3가지 아형으로 구분된다. Dynamin I은 신경조직에서 만 발현되고, dynamin II는 모든 조직에서 발현되지만 dynamin III는 정소를 포함한 생식기계에서만 발현된다. 선행된 연구에서 NIH3T3 세포를 이용하여 ras과발현 세포주를 만들었으며, dynamin II와 ras의 신호전달체계에 있는 Grb2가 결합한다는 것을 보고하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 ras 단백질이 과발현되는 세포 (NIH3T3 (ras))와 대조세포인 NIH3T3의 형태학적인 차이점을 분석하고, 이 두 세포들에서 dynamin II 단백질의 발현의 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. Dynamin II의 발현차이를 분석하기 위해 형광염색을 하여 공초점 레이저현미경으로 세포내 분석을 하였으며, western blot을 시행하여 생화학적인 발현차이를 보았다. 또한, 두 세포의 미세구조적인 분석을 위하여 SEM과 TEM을 사용하였다. Dynamin II는 NIH3T3 (ras) 세포에서 발현이 증가 하였으며, NIH3T3 세포에 비하여 좀더 방추형이 었으며, 작은 세포질 돌기가 세포막을 따라 다수 신장되어있음이 관찰되었다. 또한, NIH3T3 (ras) 세포의 endocytotic vesicle이 형성되는 부위에서 dynamin II의 발현이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로 dynamin II는 ras신호전달체계의한 신호전달분자로서 작용을 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 이 실험은 Ehrlich 종양세포를 이식한 후 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin 및 acriflavine-guanosin 복합제(AG60)을 투여하였을 때, 위점막 점액상피세포의 미세구조적 변화를 연구하고자 시행하였다. 실험동물로는 ICR생쥐를 사용하였으며 정상대조군 이외의 종양대조군, 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C 및 AG60 투여군의 동물들은 샅부위 피부밑조직에 각각 $1{\times}10^7$의 Ehrlich 종양세포를 이식하였다. 각각의 실험군은 종양세포를 이식한 다음날부터 5-fluorouracil (30 mg/kg), mitomycin C ($400{\mu}g/kg$) 및 AG60 (30 mg/kg)을 격일 간격으로 한번씩 피부밑조직에 주사하였다. 종양대조군은 종양세포이식 후에 0.2 mL의 생리식염수를 피부밑조직에 주사하였고 정상대조군은 종양세포를 이식하지 않은 동물을 사용하였다. 종양대조군을 비롯한 실험군은 생리식염수 또는 각각의 약제를 격일 간격으로 7회씩 투여한 다음날, 에테르(ether) 마취하에 앞배벽을 열어 위조직을 절취하였다. 절취한 조직은 2.5% 글루타르알데히드(glutaraldehyde)-1.5% 파라포름알데히드(paraformaldehyde) 혼합액에 고정한 후, 1% 오스뮴사산화물(osmium tetroxide)용액에 다시 고정한 후 탈수과정을 거쳐 애럴다이트(araldite) 혼합액에 포매하였다. 포매된 위점막 조직은 얇은 절편을 만들었으며, 각 절편은 우라닐아세테이트(uranyl acetate)용액과 구연산납(lead citrate)용액으로 대조염색한 후, 전자현미경으로 비교 관찰하였다. 5-fluorouracil 투여군은 종양대조군에 비해 점액상피세포에 수초구조(myelin figure)가 자주 관찰되고, 분비과립이 세포질을 포함한 막성구조에 싸여 속공간으로 함께 분비되는 부분분비현상이 보일 정도로 손상을 받았다. 그리고 mitomycin C 역시 수초구조가 자주 관찰되고 분비과립을 함유한 세포질이 속공간으로 돌출되는 등의 미세구조적 변화를 보였다. 그러나 AG60의 경우는 수초구조와 다소포체가 비교적 자주 관찰되는 외에는 별다른 미세구조적 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil 및 AG60을 반복 투여 하면 위점막 점액상피세포의 분비기능이 억제되었음을 시사하는 미세구조적 변화를 보였다. 그러나 세포의 손상 정도가 mitomycin C와 5-fluorouracil 투여군에 비해 AG60 투여군에서 매우 경미하였으므로 AG60은 위점막 점액상피세포의 분비기능에 큰 손상을 주지 않는 약제라고 생각된다.

  • 가토 심실근에서 추출한 mitochondria에서 $Na^+$$K^+$이온에 의한 $Ca^{++}$ 유리작용을 관찰하였다. 반응액에 첨가한 1-3mM의 소량 $Na^+$은 mitochondria막에 미리 결합되어있던 $Ca^{++}$을 현저히 유리시켰으며, $K^+$은 단독으로는 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 유도하지 않았으나 $Na^+$에 의한 $Ca^{++}$ 유리에 대하여는 $Na^+/K^+$비에 따라 그것이 클수록 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 증가시켰다. 간 및 신장 mitochondria에서도 $Na^+$에 의하 $Ca^{++}$ 유리현상을 보였으나 심근mitochondria에 비하여 $Na^+$에 대한 감수성이 훨씬 미약하여 약 $1/10{\sim}1/5$에 지나지 않았다. 이와같은 mitochondria의 $Ca^{++}$ 유리현상은 비교적 $Na^+$에 특이한 작용이었으며 다른 일가양이온중에서는 $Li^+$에 의해서만 어느 정도 보였다. 부전심근 mitochondria에서의 $Na^+$에 의한 $Ca^{++}$유리는 정상심근 mitochondria에서와 같았으며 이때 digitalis 강심배당체가 직접적으로는 별 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상에서 심근의 경우 mitochondria는 세포내 $Ca^{++}$을 조절할 수 있는 기구로서 심근수축의 E-C coupling과정에서 세포막의 전기적 흥분현상과 결부하여 $Ca^{++}$을 유리할 수 있을 것으로 추정하였으며, 한편 digitalis배당체의 강심작용기전에 있어서는 digitalis 배당체에 의한 세포막의 $Na^+$, $K^+$-ATPase 억제결과 초래될 수 있는 세포내의 $Na^+$ 증가 및(또는) $K^+$감소가 간접적으로 mitochondria에서부터 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 증가하여 E-C coupling 과정을 촉진할 수 있을 것을 사료하였다.

  • 치아의 맹출은 치아기 (dental organ)와 치조골의 세포와 연관된 매우 복잡한 과정이다. 우선 치아 맹출이 일어나기 전에 파골세포가 치낭으로 집결하게 된다. 이러한 치낭의 역할은 파골세포와 조골세포의 상호작용으로 이루어지는 골개조와 밀접한 관련이 있는데 이는 치아 맹출과 연관된 많은 유전자들이 치낭에서 발현되기 때문이다. RANKL는 TNF ligand family로써 조골세포에 존재하며 파골세포의 형성 및 전구세포로 부터의 활성화를 유도한다. 이러한 RANKL는 OPG에 의해 그 작용이 억제되며 RANKL와 OPG의 상대적인 비율이 파골세포의 형성에 영향을 미친다. 또한 Runx2 유전자의 변이는 조골세포의 분화와 활성 에 차질을 가져오고 결국 RANKL/OPG pathway를 통해 파골세포 형성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 치아의 발육 및 맹출에 미치는 RANKL및 OPG의 영향을 알아보고 Runx2와의 연관성을 알아보기 위해 in situ hybridization방법으로 태생 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11일된 쥐의 하악 및 제1대구치를 사용하여 실험을 실시한 결과 RANKL, OPG, Runx2의 mRNA가 태생 1일부터 11일까지 치낭 및 치아주위조직에 특성 있게 나타났다. 이중 태생 5일에서 9일 사이에 RANKL 및 Runx2는 치아의 교합면측과 하방 치조골 부위의 발현이 강하게 나타난 반면 OPG는 약한 발현을 보였다. 이는 또한 파골세포의 활성부위를 알아보기 위해 TRAP염색을 실시하여 태생 5일에서 9일 사이에 최대의 활성화를 나타낸 결과와 연관성 있게 나타났다. RANKL, OPG, Runx2의 특성 있는 발현양상들을 종합해 볼 때, 치아 맹출은 치낭, 치아기, 치조골 사이의 상호 작용을 통해 이루어지며, 이는 치낭이 치아 맹출에 있어서 매우 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 또한, 이러한 유전자들 (RANKL, OPG, Runx2) 이 치아의 맹출에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Oral cancer take up 2-6% of all carcinomas and squamous cell carcinoma, which is the most common type in oral cancer, has a poor prognosis due to its high metastasis and recurrence rates. In treating oral cancer, chemotherapy to the primary, metastasized and recurrent lesion is a very important and useful treatment, even though its widespread usage is limited due to high general toxicity and local toxicity to other organs. Taxol, a microtubule stabilizing agent, is an anticancer drug that induces cell apoptosis by inhibiting depolymerization of microtubules in between the metaphase and anaphase of the cell mitosis. Recently, its effectiveness and mechanism on various tumor has been reported. However, not much research has been done on the application of Taxol to oral squamous cell carcinoma. Cyclosporin A, which is an immunosuppressant, is being used on cancers and when co-administered with Taxol, effectiveness of Taxol is enhanced by inhibition of Taxol induced multidrug resistance. In this study, Cyclosporin A with different concentration of Taxol was co-administered to HN22, the oral squamous cell carcinomacell line. To observe the cell apoptosis and the mechanisms that take part in this process, mortality evaluation of tumor cell using wortmannin, c-DNA microarray, RT-PCR analysis, cytometry analysis and western blotting were used, and based upon the observation on the effect and mechanism of the agent, the following results were obtained: 1. The HN22 cell line viability was lowest when $100{\mu}M$ of Wortmannin and $5{\mu}g/ml$ of Taxol were co-administered, showing that Taxol participates in P13K-AKT1 pathway. 2. In c-DNA microarray, where $1{\mu}g/ml$ of cyclosporine A and 3mg/ml of Taxol were co-administered, no up regulation of AKT1, PTEN and BAD c-DNA that participate in cell apoptosis was observed. 3. When $1{\mu}g/ml$ of Cyclosporin A was applied alone to HN22 cell line, no difference was found in AKT1, PTEN and BAD mRNA expression. 4. Increased AKT1, mRNA expression was observed when $3{\mu}g/ml$ of Taxol was applied alone to HN22 cell line. 5. When $1{\mu}g/ml$ of Cyclosporin A and Taxol($3{\mu}g/ml\;and\;5{\mu}g/ml$) were co-administered to HN22 cell line, PTEN mRNA expression increased, whereas AKT1 and BAD mRNA decreased. 6. As a result of cytometry analysis, in the group of Cyclosporin A($1{\mu}g/ml$) and Taxol($3{\mu}g/ml$) co-administration, increased Annxin V was observed, which shows that apoptosis occurred by deformation of plasma membrane. However, no significant difference was observed with vary ing concentration. 7. In western blot analysis, no caspase 3 was observed in the group of Cyclosporin A($1{\mu}g/ml$) and Taxol($3{\mu}g/ml$) co-administration. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that synergistic effect can be observed in combination therapy of Taxol and Cyclosporin A on oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line, where decreased activity of the cell line was observed. This resulted in decreased AKT1 and BAD mRNA and increased PTEN mRNA expression and when wortmannin and Taxol were co-administered, the viability decreased which confirms that Taxol decreases the viability of tumor cell line. Hence, when Taxol and cyclosporine A are co-administered, it can be assumed that cell apoptosis occurs through AKt1 pathway.
