Effects of water extracts of Remannia glutinosa on neuroprotection by inhibitory action of NMDA receptors

CHOU HUNGCHUN 경희대학교 대학원 2018 국내석사

The objective of this study was to observe the effects of water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa on the glutamate-induced inward current that heterologously express human NMDA receptor. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is one of three types of ionotropic glutamate receptors, the others being the AMPA and kainate receptors. It is activated when glutamate and glycine (or D-serine) bind to it, and when activated it allows positively charged ions to flow through the cell membrane. In the present study, we investigated the regulatory effects of the water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa on the glutamate-induced inward current that heterologously express human NMDA receptor. The current was measured using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique. In this study, we found the water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa inhibited glutamate induced current in a reversible and concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 was about 51.2 μg/ml. The water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa action on glutamate induced current was attenuated by increasing glutamate concentration, and was membrane holding potential-dependent. These results show a possibility that the water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa interacts with NMDA receptor, which was heterologously expressed and that the water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa on glutamate induced current of NMDA receptor could be one of contributions of Rehmannia glutinosa-mediated neuroprotections.

The rapid growth in technological advancement and industrialization of the world made the people’s lives comfortable and convenient yet alongside of these innovations are the detrimental effects to the health of people. As technological inventions advanced, more and more people become busy to the extent that they no longer have time to have their medical check-ups to check whether their health is still conditioned or not. This research was created for the purpose of helping busy people to live a healthy life with the use of Smart Phone as a monitoring device to measure the Pulse Oximeter of the users’ health condition. Hence, even if they are in remote places, their health condition can still be monitored through the use of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) attached to their clothes or implanted in their body. In this research, the author designed a programme using Android SDK that is compatible with smart phone applications in monitoring the health condition of the users with the use of Pulse Oximeter. This study was carried out through testing and implementation different programmes and software to come up with a simple, specific and easy to understand manual and command button for the users. Furthermore, the author had researched the net about WBANs, Pulse Oximeter and Android SDK to qualify the feasibility and applicability of the research. In carrying out the research, the author discovered that the smart phone application could perform the monitoring of complex conditions on streaming data from various body sensors within a WBAN in real time with a nice user interface. The Pulse Oximeter sensor tool was used to input the users’ health condition in the phone. The inputs are stored, analyzed and saved. After that, the users will receive an Alert Message as a result of their processed health condition. The author found out that a smart phone android application with an advance user interface can be used in monitoring health condition together with a monitoring system for streaming body sensor data in a WBAN environment and also support a wide range of applications including healthcare, emergency monitoring and physical training.

Engineering properties of lignosulfonate-polyethyleneimine treated granular soil

Chou, Sopharith Graduate School, Korea Unversity 2020 국내석사

Recently, lignosulfonate (LS) has been reported to have potential as a soil stabilizer in the geotechnical engineering field since it is not only an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material but could improve the mechanical properties of soil as well. However, lignosulfonate has high hydrophilic characteristics which causes removal from treated soil into the water. According to this deficiency, the additional admixture is required in an effort to overcome this limitation. In this study, polyethyleneimine (PEI) is mixed into lignosulfonate solution to stabilize crushed silica sand in order to investigate the improvement of the water-resistant and mechanical strength characteristic of lignosulfonate treated soil through the performance of laboratory tests. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), wetting-drying cyclic, consolidated undrained triaxial, hydraulic conductivity, wind erosion, and soil pH tests are conducted. The UCS test of treated soil is assessed according to three main factors: lignosulfonate concentration, content, and soil relative density. As a result, it is shown that the UCS shows an increasing trend with a rise of lignosulfonate content. Moreover, the UCS is influenced by the drying out of the water from a specimen which is relevant to the study of UCS with varying the lignosulfonate concentration and curing time. It is seen that the higher the concentration and the longer the curing period result in an increase of UCS. In addition, the optimum soil relative density is revealed according to the variation of density has an effect on the void volume and ratio of binder to sand particles. For the wetting-drying cyclic test, the disintegration of the specimen is not observed for the case of the sample treated with 1 to 1 (PEI:LS) binder. Although the compressive strength of treated soil at wet condition shows a notable decrease, after re-drying for 7 days in a controlled room, its strength recovers about 90% of its initial dry condition. From the triaxial test, the deviatoric stress increases with the increase of lignosulfonate content. For treated soil, both cohesion and elastic modulus are improved, and it behaves more ductile compared to soil treated by other stabilizers. Additionally, LS-PEI binder also influences the permeability of treated soil by reducing about 2 orders of hydraulic conductivity. Besides, from the wind erosion test, it could be seen that LS-PEI binder improves the wear resistance and moisture retention of soil as well since the mass and moisture loss decreases with the increase of LS-PEI binder. Lastly, soil treated by LS-PEI shows relatively lower pH compared to the soil treated by other traditional soil stabilizers; so that it does not threaten the environment such as underground water and soil since it does not make the corrosive atmosphere. To conclude, polyethyleneimine improves the water-resistant and mechanical properties of lignosulfonate treated soil, and LS-PEI could be a new alternative soil stabilizer for soft ground improvement and a sustainable solution for geotechnical engineering application in the future.

Evaluation of intrathecal administration of human regulatory T cell in Alzheimer’s disease mouse model

CHOU HUNG CHUN 경희대학교 대학원 2021 국내박사

Neuroinflammation is primary feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. For few decades as now, AD research continues to be driven by developing novel and effective AD immunotherapy. Currently, the interest in AD immunotherapy is accelerated by a specific subset of T cells, CD4+CD2+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg), suppressing autoimmunity and maintaining immune homeostasis. Here, we demonstrated the therapeutic impact of human Treg cells on AD in a murine model of Alzheimer’s disease. Freshly isolated and ex vivo expanded human Treg (hTreg) cells were intrathecally (i.t.) administered in 3xTg Alzheimer’s disease mouse model. Importantly, such therapeutic potential of hTreg cells was significantly suppressed increased microglia activity. These results suggest that hTreg cells may be involved in modulation of neuroinflammation in AD pathogenesis by slowing or suppressing microglial response associated with Ab toxicity. Our study highlights the potential contribution of adoptive transfer of hTregs as live drugs for innovative immunotheray against Alzheimer’s disease and an approach to modulating neuroinflammation.
