Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of silica-calcium phosphate composite (SCPC) granules on bone regeneration in extraction sockets. Methods: Ten patients were selected for a split-model study. In each patient, bone healing in SCPC-grafted and control ungrafted sockets was analyzed through clinical, radiographic, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemical assessments 6 months postoperatively. Results: A radiographic assessment using cone-beam computed tomography showed minimal ridge dimension changes in SCPC-grafted sockets, with 0.39 mm and 1.79 mm decreases in height and width, respectively. Core bone biopsy samples were obtained 6 months post-extraction during implant placement and analyzed. The average percent areas occupied by mature bone, woven bone, and remnant particles in the SCPC-grafted sockets were 41.3%±12%, 20.1%±9.5%, and 5.3%±4.4%, respectively. The percent areas of mature bone and woven bone formed in the control ungrafted sockets at the same time point were 31%±14% and 24.1%±9.4%, respectively. Histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses showed dense mineralized bundles of type I collagen with high osteopontin expression intensity in the grafted sockets. The newly formed bone was well vascularized, with numerous active osteoblasts, Haversian systems, and osteocytes indicating maturation. In contrast, the new bone in the control ungrafted sockets was immature, rich in type III collagen, and had a low osteocyte density. Conclusions: The resorption of SCPC granules in 6 months was coordinated with better new bone formation than was observed in untreated sockets. SCPC is a resorbable bone graft material that enhances bone formation and maturation through its stimulatory effect on bone cell function.

We investigated the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 ($TGF-{\beta}1$) on equine hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) gene expression and hyaluronan (HA) synthesis in culture models of articular chondrocytes. Equine chondrocytes were treated with $TGF-{\beta}1$ at different concentrations and times in monolayer cultures. In three-dimensional cultures, chondrocyte-seeded gelatin scaffolds were cultured in chondrogenic media containing 10 ng/mL of $TGF-{\beta}1$. The amounts of HA in conditioned media and in scaffolds were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. HAS2 mRNA expression was analyzed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The uronic acid content and DNA content of the scaffolds were measured by using colorimetric and Hoechst 33258 assays, respectively. Cell proliferation was evaluated by using the alamarBlue assay. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), histology, and immunohistochemistry were used for microscopic analysis of the samples. The upregulation of HAS2 mRNA levels by $TGF-{\beta}1$ stimulation was dose and time dependent. $TGF-{\beta}1$ was shown to enhance HA and uronic acid content in the scaffolds. Cell proliferation and DNA content were significantly lower in $TGF-{\beta}1$ treatments. SEM and histological results revealed the formation of a cartilaginous-like extracellular matrix in the $TGF-{\beta}1$-treated scaffolds. Together, our results suggest that $TGF-{\beta}1$ has a stimulatory effect on equine chondrocytes, enhancing HA synthesis and promoting cartilage matrix generation.

Conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid(LA) and exhibits anticarcinogenic activity in multiple experimental animal models. Cis-9,trns-11(c9t11) and trans-10,cis-12(t10c12) CLA are the principal isomers found in foods. The present study was performed to determine whether CLA and the two isomers inhibits HT-29 cell proliferation and to assess whether such an effect was related to changes in secretion of eicosanoids. Cells were incubated in serum-free medium with various concentrations(0 to 20$\mu$M) of CLA or LA. CLA inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal inhibition(70 $\pm$ 1%) observed at 20$\mu$M concentration after 96 hours. However, LA had no effect at the same concentration range. To compare the ability of c9f11 and t10c12 to inhibit cell proliferation, cells were incubated with increasing concentrations(0 to 4$\mu$M) of these isomers. T10c12 inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. A 66 $\pm$ 2% decrease in cell number was observed within 96 hours after addition of 4$\mu$M t10c12. By contrast, c9t11 had no effect. The concentrations of CLA and the two isomers in the plasma membrane were increased when they were added to the incubation medium. However, they did not alter the levels of arachidonic acid in plasma membrane. To assess whether the proliferation inhibiting effect of CLA was related to changes in eicosanoid production, prostaglandin E$_2$(PGE$_2$) and leukotriene B$_4$(LTB$_4$) concentrations in conditioned media were estimated by a competitive enzyme immunoassay. Both CLA and t10c12 increased the production of materials reactive to PGE$_2$ and LTB$_4$ antibodies in a dose-dependent manner. By contrast, c9t11 had no effect. These results indicate that inhibition of HT-29 cell proliferation by CLA is attributed to the effect of the t10v12 isomer. The materials reactive to PGE$_2$ and LTB$_4$ antibodies may inhibit growth stimulatory effect of arachidonic acid-derived eicosanoids on HT-29 cell proliferation.

본 연구는 질소와 인의 영양상태에 따라서 오존에 노출시킨 조경수목의 생리적 반응과 오존에 대한 저항성을 이해하기 위하여 실시하였다. 1년생 소나무(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) 묘목을 인공토양(버미큘라이트와 펄라이트)을 담은 플라스틱 화분에 심고, 6월초부터 변형된 Hoagland 용액을 이용하여 질소와 인을 조절하여 양묘하고, 7월 3일부터 8월 31일까지 open-top chamber(직경 2.5m, 높이 2.0m)내에서 8주간 1일 7시간씩(0.12ppm에서는 3시간씩) 오존농도를 자연상태에 유사하게 조절하여 노출시켰다. 오존대조구는 활성탄을 사용하여 오존농도를 0.02ppm 이하로 유지하였다. 8주 후에 부위별 생장량, 탄수화물 함량, 엽록소 함량, 순광합성속도를 측정하였다. 오존에 노출시킨 어떤 묘목에서도 가시적 피해를 관찰할 수 없었다. 오존대조구에서 질소와 인의 각각 혹은 동시 시비로 총건중량이 22%에서 95%까지 증가하여 시비효과를 확인하였다. 오존처리구에서도 시비효과는 비슷하게 관찰되었다. 오존처리는 오존대조구와 비교하여 건중량을 감소시키지 않았으나, S/R(Shoot/Root)용을 14.5% 증가시켰다. 잎의 설탕함량은 오존처리로 평균 23%가 증가한 반면에, 뿌리의 설탕함량은 질소와 인의 시비와 관계없이 오존처리로 평균 20% 감소하였다. 잎의 전분함량은 시비 혹은 오존에 의하여 크게 영향을 받지 않았으나, 뿌리의 전분함량은 오존처리로 41% 감소하여, 뿌리로 탄수화물의 이동이 감소함으로써 뿌리의 발달이 상대적으로 위축되었음을 입증하였다. 잎의 엽록소 함량은 질소시비에 의하여 70% 증가하였으나, 오존에 의해서 감소하지 않았다. 순광합성속도는 오존대조구에서 질소의 단독시비로 80% 증가하였으며, 인의 경우는 질소가 함께 시비될 때에만 광합성을 증가시켰다. 오존처리구의 순광합성속도는 오존대조구보다 평균 11.7% 적었는데, 특히 질소와 인이 동시에 시비되었을 때 오존대조구보다 22.3% 적었다. 반면 질소와 인이 시비되지 않은 경우에는 오존에 의해서 순광합성속도가 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 위와 같은 질소와 인과 오존 간의 상호작용에서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻게 된다. 소나무 유묘는 단기간의 0.12ppm 오존 노출에서 가시적 피해를 입지 않았으며, 오존에 의하여 지상부의 생장이 감소하지 않지만 S/R 율은 증가하였다. 그러나 오존처리로 뿌리에서는 전분의 함량이 현저히 감소했을 뿐만 아니라, 순광합성속도도 큰 폭으로 감소하였으므로, 장기적으로 관찰하면 생장량이 감소하리라고 판단한다. 질소와 인의 시비에 의한 생장촉진효과는 오존으로 인하여 감소할 가능성이 있으나, 소나무에 시비하면 광합성을 촉진하고 탄수화물의 재분배를 통해서 오존피해를 복구하기 위한 에너지를 저축함으로써 저항성을 증진시킬 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 알지네이트 비드에서 배양한 토끼의 관절 연골세포의 증식과 황산화 글리코스아미노글리칸 합성에 대한 808-nm InGaAs 다이오드 레이저의 효과를 확인하는 것이다. 이전의 연구들에서 서로 다른 종류의 세포에서 레이저의 양성 또는 음성 자극 효과가 알려졌다. 알지네이트 비드 내의 토끼 연골세포에 1.0W 세기의 808-nm InGaAs 다이오드 레이저가 $31J/cm^2$ (1 그룹), $62J/cm^2$ (2 그룹)의 에너지 밀도로 상응하는 그룹에 10초, 20초 동안 24, 48, 72, 96시간째에 각각 조사되었다. 대조군은 처리하지 않았다. 1차 레이저 조사 1주, 2주 후에 MTT 분석이 실시되었다. 황산화 글리코스아미노글리칸 합성은 DMMB 분석을 통해 평가되었다. 조직학적 평가를 위한 세포의 분포와 세포 주변의 황산화 글리코스아미노글리칸 침착은 알시안 블루 염색을 통해 평가되었다. MTT 분석을 통해 알지네이트 비드에서 세포 증식에는 양성 자극 효과가 없음을 알 수 있었다. DMMB 분석을 통해서 2 그룹의 2주차 연골세포에서 황산화 글리코스아미노글리칸 생성이 특이적으로 증가했음을 알 수 있었다. 알시안 블루 염색상에서도 2 그룹 연골세포에서 양성 염색상이 특이적으로 많은 비율을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 1.0 W 세기의 808-nm InGaAs 다이오드 레이저가 연골세포 증식에 영향이 없으나 알지네이트 비드에서 세포 분비 활동을 자극하여 황산화 글리코스아미노글리칸 침착을 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Testosterone이 serum-free medium에서 배양한 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 세포성장과 기능에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포는 testosterone 1 nM의 농도에서 유의한 세포 성장 촉진 효과를 나타내었고, testosterone 10 nM이상의 농도에서는 세포성장이 억제되었다. 2. Testosterone은 serum-free medium에서 성장촉진인자의 하나인 hydrocortisone을 growth supplement로 넣어준 serum-free medium에서 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장을 촉진시키었다. 3. Testosterone은 hydrocortisone을 growth supplement로 넣어준 serum-free medium에서 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장을 촉진시키었다. 4. Testosterone은 Northern blot analysis에 의하여 확인한 토끼 신장의 근위 세뇨관 상피세포의 ${\beta}-actin$ mRNA level은 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아, serum-free 그리고 hormonally defined media에서 testosterone이 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장 및 기능에 대하여 촉진적으로 작용하는 것은 cellular mecrofilament의 중요한 구성단백의 하나로 밝혀진 ${\beta}-actin$의 합성 증가에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is used primarily as an adaptogen herb and also for its immune stimulant properties in Western herbal medicine. Another closely related species used in East Asian medicine systems i.e. Kampo, TCM (Manchuria, Korea, Japan and Ainu of Hokkaido) and also called Siberian ginseng (Acanthopanax senticosus) also displays immune-stimulant and anti-cancer properties. These may affect tumour growth and also provide an anti-fatigue effect for cancer patients, in particular for those suffering from lung cancer. There is some evidence that a carbohydrate in Siberian ginseng may possess not only immune stimulatory but also anti-tumour effects and also display other various anti-cancer properties. Our study aimed to determine the inhibitory and also proliferative effects of a methanol plant extract of Siberan ginseng (E. senticosus) on various cancer and normal cell lines including: A-549 (small cell lung cancer), XWLC-05 (Yunnan lung cancer cell line), CNE (human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line), HCT-116 (human colon cancer) and Beas-2b (human lung epithelial). These cell lines were treated with an extract from E. senticosus that was evaporated and reconstituted in DMSO. Treatment of A-549 (small cell lung cancer) cells with E. senticosus methanolic extract showed a concentration-dependent inhibitory trend from $12.5-50{\mu}g/mL$, and then a plateau, whereas at 12.5 and $25{\mu}g/mL$, there is a slight growth suppression in QBC-939 cells, but then a steady suppression from 50, 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. Further, in XWLC-05 (Yunnan lung cancer cell line), E. senticosus methanolic extract displayed an inhibitory effect which plateaued with increasing dosage. Next, in CNE (human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line) there was a dose dependent proliferative response, whereas in Beas-2 (human lung epithelial cell line), an inhibitory effect. Finally in colon cancer cell line (HCT-116) we observed an initially weak inhibitory effect and then plateau.

Purpose: Recombining bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is usually acquiredfrom high level animals. Though this method is effective, its high cost limits its use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 with protein transduction domain (BMP-2/PTD;TATBMP-2) on bone regeneration. Rat calvarial defect model and osteoblastic differentiation model using MC3T3 cell were used for the purpose of the study. Materials and Methods: MC3T3 cells were cultured until they reached a confluence stage. The cells were treated with 0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 500 ng/ml of BMP-2/PTD for 21 days and at the end of the treatment, osteoblastic differentiation was evaluated usingvon Kossa staining. An 8mm, calvarial, critical-size osteotomy defect was created in each of 48 male Spraque-Dawley rats (weight $250{\sim}300\;g$). Three groups of 16 animals each received either BMP-2/PTD (0.05mg/ml) in a collagen carrier, collagen only, or negative surgical control. And each group was divided into 2 and 8 weeks healing intervals. The groups were evaluated by histologic analysis(8 animals/group/healing intervals) Result: In osteoblastic differentiation evaluation test, a stimulatory effect of BMP-2/PTD was observed in 10ng/ml of BMP-2/PTD with no observation of dose-dependent manner. The BMP-2/PTD group showed enhanced local bone formation in the rat calvarial defect at 2 weeks. New bone was observed at the defect margin and central area of the defect. However, new bone formation was observed only in 50% of animals used for 2weeks. In addition, there was no new bone formation observed at 8 weeks. Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that BMP-2/PTD(TATBMP-2) have an positive effect on the bone formation in vitro and in vivo. However, further study should be conducted for the reproducibility of the outcomes.

This experimental study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Kimchi intake of Cordyceps sinensis extract (CDSE) supplementation on cytokine-induction and immune response in mice. To study in experiments using male Balb/c mice fed Kimchi and Kimchi of CDSE supplementation (addition of 2% of total Kimchi weight) containing fed experimental diet during 2 weeks. Experimental mice were fed control diet or diet containing freeze-dried Kimchi at the level of 5%(w/w) or 5% freeze-dried Kimchi with 2% CDSE supplementation. The main ingredient of Kimchi was Korean cabbage and fermentation was carried out at $4^{\circ}C$ for three weeks. Freeze-dried 2% CDSE supplementation was added to Kimchi at the beginning of fennentation. In order to investigate the effect of Kimchi intake of CDSE supplementation (5%Kimchi-2%CDSE), the following was performed; body weight, food intake, hematological parameter, serum level of mouse interleukin-4 (mIL-4) and mouse $interferon-{\gamma}$ $(mIFN-{\gamma})$, and, the percentage of CD3+/CD4+, CD3+/CD8+, B220+ in splenic cells. The results of final body weight, and food diet intake of two Kimchi groups were lower than those of the control group (not supplemented experimental diet). The hematology change obtained from the level of WBC (white blood cell) and platelet were not affected by feeding different dietary regiments, but the level of RBC (red blood cells) HB (hemoglobin), and spleen weight of two Kimchi groups were increased significantly than those of the control group. The serum level of IL-4 and $IFN-{\gamma}$ of two Kimchi groups were increased significantly than those of the control group, also enhanced the percentages of the CD3+/CD4+ and CD3+/CD8+ by 5% freeze-dried Kimchi, and 5%Kimchi-2%CDSE group were 43.9 and 60.1%, and 96.0 and 174% than those of the control group, respectively. From these results, it can be concluded that Kimchi itself has an immuno-stimulatory effect and Kimchi contaning 2% CDSE supplementation has the more pronounced effect in vivo system.
