<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has an anti-inflammatory action in acute pancreatitis (AP). However, its mechanism of action and natural compounds/drugs to induce HO-1 in pancreas are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms of HO-1 during AP using desoxo-narchinol-A (DN), the natural compound inducing HO-1 in the pancreas. Female C57/BL6 Mice were intraperitoneally injected with supramaximal concentrations of cerulein (50 μg/kg) hourly for 6 h to induce AP. DMSO or DN was administered intraperitoneally, then mice were sacrificed 6 h after the final cerulein injection. Administration of DN increased pancreatic HO-1 expression through activation of activating protein-1, mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinases. Furthermore, DN treatment reduced the pancreatic weight-to-body weight ratio as well as production of digestive enzymes and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Inhibition of HO-1 by tin protoporphyrin IX abolished the protective effects of DN on pancreatic damage. Additionally, DN treatment inhibited neutrophil infiltration into the pancreas via regulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2) by HO-1. Our results suggest that DN is an effective inducer of HO-1 in the pancreas, and that HO-1 regulates neutrophil infiltration in AP via CXCL2 inhibition.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Desoxo-narchinol-A (DN) is a natural compound of HO-1 inducer in pancreas. </LI> <LI> Mechanism of DN-induced HO-1 is mediated by MAPK/Activator Protein-1/HO-1 signaling. </LI> <LI> DN-induced HO-1 blocks neutrophil infiltration into pancreas via inhibition of CXCL2. </LI> <LI> DN inhibits cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) and AP-associated lung injury. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

A l0-month-old, neutered male, British shorthair cat was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with the history of tachypnea, anorexia and depression which onset were two days ago. On physical examination, increased respiratory rate and no murmur were found. A complete blood count indicated thrombocytosis. Results from a serum biochemical profile demonstrated elevations in CK, ALP, BUN and Ca, and decreases in sodium, potassium and chloride. Thoracic radiographs revealed patchy interstitial opacity increase and left atrium enlargement. Echocardiographs showed the evidences of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which were hypertrophy of diastolic interventricular septum and left ventricular free wall. Other findings on echocardiography were the reverse E:A ratio(tranmitra1 inflow pattern) and absence of systolic anterior motion of mitral valve. Electrocardiographs demonstrated wide P and R wave, which mean left atrium enlargement and left bundle branch block, respectively. Medications including furosemide (2mg/kg), enalapril (0.25mg/kg), and spironolactone (1mg/kg) were prescribed twice a day and orally. Client education about exercise restriction and possibility of aggressive progress was given. Clinical signs suggestive of thromboembolism were developed on 6th day after showing tachypnea; right forelimb lameness, bilateral hindlimb lameness, loss of femoral pulse and severe pain. After all, euthanasia was performed at local animal hospital, according to the owner's request.

To evaluate the in-vivo effects of mitomycin-C-polyglycolic acid composite(MMC-PGA) the disk: shaped composite were implanted into the peritoneal cavity of the Sprague-Dawley rats. The pathologic changes were examined at various time points up to 12 weeks. Initially the soft tissue around the inserted disks showed capillary congestion at 3 days. Inflammatory infiltrates with foreign body giant cells appeared from the 2nd week and reached peak response at 6-8 weeks. These reaction diminished prominently at 12 weeks. No specific pathologic change was found in the liver, the kidneys, and the heart. The above results suggest that the MMC-PGA composite can serve as a new device for intraperitoneal chemotherapy of various types of cancers.

Objects : Recent studies of psychosocial adjustment after hospitalization have found that the combination of maintenance antipsychotic drug treatment and psychosocial treatment including psychoeducational program are highly predictive of social rehabilitation and reduction of subsequent relapse. Two groups of patients with refractory chronic schizophrenia were preliminarily compared to determine the effect of a psychosocial treatment program on the quality of life in refractory chronic schizophrenics in an open comparative trial. Methods : One group(N=11) was assigned to approximately six months of the psychosocial treatment program(including psychoeducation program and activity program such as interpersonal relationship program, social skill training, self management program, outings, etc), in a group format, twice a week and a fixed maintenance dosage of clozapine ; while scale(QLS) was used to provide an objective measure of changes in patient's psychosocial functioning and a general assessment of psychopathology was made using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS). Results : Both BPRS total positive score and the QLS total score, especially in the intrapsychic foundation factor of the scale showed a statistically significant improvement in the psychosocial treatment group. But there was no significant change in both BPRS and QLS scores over a 6-month period in the non-psychosocial treatment group. A significant negative correlation was found between the negative symptom and changes of QLS total, instrumental role and common object and activities scores respectively after receiving a 6-month of the psychosocial treatment program. Conclusion : These results suggest that a psychosocial treatment program including the integration of psychoeducation and a skill training oriented activity program serve as an outpatient treatment modality to improve the quality of the life in refractory chronic schizophrenia. To further clarify the effect of psychosocial treatment in chronic schizophrenia, a randomized trial should be done.

Effects of 17β-estradiol on colorectal cancer development after azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium treatment of ovariectomized mice

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Estrogen is known to have a protective effect in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Previously, we reported the anti-inflammatory and antitumorigenic effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) in azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated male mice. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ovariectomy in a female AOM/DSS mouse model increases colorectal tumorigenesis and whether tumorigenesis is reduced by estrogen supplementation after ovariectomy. Clinical symptoms and histological severity of colitis and the levels of inflammatory mediators were evaluated in the colon of AOM/DSS-treated ovariectomized (OVX) mice. The levels of E2, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and NF-κB-dependent cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6) were measured by ELISA. Furthermore, quantitative real-time (qRT) PCR and Western blot analysis were performed. Ovariectomy did not aggravate AOM/DSS-induced colitis at 2 weeks. At weeks 10 and 16, ovariectomy significantly increased tumor number and incidence rate in only the proximal colon after AOM/DSS treatment (F_AOM/DSS vs OVX_AOM/DSS), and these increases were significantly reduced by E2 supplementation (OVX_AOM/DSS vs OVX_AOM/DSS/E2). However, ovariectomy did not affect CRC development in the distal colon (F_AOM/DSS vs OVX_AOM/DSS). At week 2, E2 administration to AOM/DSS-treated OVX mice attenuated the histological severity of colitis by decreasing the protein and/or mRNA levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and NF-κB-related mediators (i.e., COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-6) and by enhancing estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) and nuclear Nrf2 protein expression and the mRNA expression of related antioxidant enzyme genes (i.e., HO-1, GCLC, GCLM, and NQO1). Endogenous estrogen in females protects against the development of proximal colon cancer, and exogenous E2 replacement in OVX female mice showed protective effects against AOM/DSS-induced colitis and carcinogenesis. The mechanism could involve modulating ERs-, NF-κB- and Nrf2-mediated pathways.</P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Cerebral angiography has been essential for the diagnosis of the intracranial aneurysms but. is sometimes accompanied by serious complications. Resolution of CT angiography was up-graded greatly to represent the three-demensional structure of vesseles since helical CT had been introduced. We have compared 26 cases of CT angiography and 28 cases of conventional angiography in terms of specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis detectable aneurysm diameter. configurational diagnosis and diagnostic confidency. All results showed no statistical difference between CT angiography and conventional angiography. These should suggest that CT angiography could be replaced with conventional angiography for the diagnosis of ruptured aneurysms and even of unruptured aneurysms. resulting in the introduction of first screening modality of unruptured aneurysms.

For the purpose of developing Korean Herbalogy with the plants of Polygonaceae which grow wild and is planted in Korea, the these and writings on herbalogy, from literature of successive generations, have been thoroughly investigative and the results obtained were as follows: 1. There were totaled to 16 genera and 156 species in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 12 genera, 47 species, some 30% in total, but the number of species may be added because of the similiar plants. 2. According to the oriental names which can be used for medical purpose, the medicinal plants belonging to the Polygonaceae family were classified as Herba 21, Radix 12, Foilum 8, Lignum 5, Flos 4, Fructus 5, Ramulus 2 and Semen 1. Thus it was noticed that Herba was the main kind. 3. According to sum of 156 species in Polygonaceae family, they were classified into Persicaria genera 63, Polygonum genera 23, Rumex genera 22, Bistorta genera 14, Aconogonum genera 6, Fagopyrum genera 5, Bilderdykia genera 4, Amblygonum genera 3, Reynoutria genera 3, Rheum genera 3, Pleuropterus genera 2, Pleuropteropyrum genera 2, Tovara genera 2, Ampelygonum genera 1, Homalocladium genera 1 and Oxyria genera 1. Thus it was noticed that Persicaria genera was the main kind, some 40.3% in total. 4. According to nature and flavour of medicinal plants, they were classified into cold, cool; 23 each, warmth, heat; 11 each, balance 11 and unidentified 5. Thus it was noticed that cold, cool is the main in nature and flavour of medicinal plants. From this result, it was revealed that the plants for medical purpose in Polygonaceae was 30% of the whole, in which HERBA was mostly abundunt and toxic plants was slightly poisonous that it will be used for clinical treatments more easily. It is considered that many experiements and clinical approaches must be continued to use Polygonaceae plants widely.

立地土壤의 特性

柳順昊,宋寬哲 濟州大學校 亞熱帶農業硏究所 1984 亞熱帶農業硏究 Vol.1 No.-

1975년에 完了된 濟州道 精密土壤調査 結果에 依하면 濟州道 土壤은 5 個 目, 10 個 亞目, 12개 大群, 30 個 亞群, 47 個 屬및 64 個 統으로 分類되며, 이는 便宜上 暗褐色土(17.01%), 濃暗褐色土(41.4%), 黑色土(21.6%), 및 褐色森林土(13.9%)의 4個 土壤群으로 大別된다. 濃暗褐色土, 黑色土 및 褐色森土는 代表的인 火山灰土이나 暗褐色土는 火山灰土的 特性을 弱하게 지니고 있다. 濟州道 火山灰土는 非晶質 珪酸鹽 粘土鑛物인 Allophane을 主粘土鑛物로 하고 있는데, 土壤 pH의 變化에 따라 Allophane에서 Al이 遊離되어 活性化되는 性質이 매우 强하며, 이러한 Allophane의 强한 礬土性에 基因되어 濟州道 土壤의 自然肥沃度가 낮다. 즉 難分解性의 有機物이 多量으로 集積되고, 그에 따라 假密度가 極히 낮으며 强風에 依해 土壤浸蝕이 쉽게 일어난다. 陽이온置換容量은 높으나 土壤의 鹽基吸着力이 弱하고 透水性이 過多하여 鹽基가 遊離, 溶脫되기 쉽다. 또한 燐酸을 吸着, 固定시키는 能力이 대단히 커서 有效燐酸이 缺乏되기 쉬운 問題 等이 있는데, 이러한 濟州道 火山灰土의 改良은 매우 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 特히 濟州道 土壤은 燐酸 固定 能力이 대단히 커서 有效燐酸이 缺乏되기 쉽기 때문에 作物 栽培에 있어서 燐酸肥料의 效果가 좋다는 것이 農民들에게 널리 알려져 Ca과 Mg 含量이 높은 熔成燐肥가 每年 多量으로 施用되어져 왔다. 따라서 濟州道에서의 肥料 施用 樣相을 調査한 結果 單位面積當 施肥量이 全國 平均에 比하여 濟州道에서 더 많을 뿐만 아니라 窒素肥料에 對한 燐酸과 加里肥料의 施用 比率도 濟州道에서 더 높은데, 이러한 傾向은 柑橘園이 많은 南濟州郡에서 더욱 현저하다. 1960年代 初부터 濟州道의 農耕地가 中山間地方으로 急激하게 增大되어가고 있으나 大部分의 農耕地는 海岸地方에 分布되어 있다. 따라서 山間地方 및 中山間地方의 土壤은 火山灰土의 一般的인 問題點을 갖고 있으나 耕作年代가 오래된 海岸地方 土壤일수록 pH, 鹽基飽和度, 有效燐酸, 置換性 Ca, Mg 및 K 含量이 높으며, 有機物 含量 및 陽이온置換容量은 낮아지는 傾向이다. 이러한 傾向은 集約的인 營農方法에 依해 經營되고 있는 柑橘園 土壤에서 더욱 현저하다. 柑橘園의 耕作年代가 오래될수록 土壤의 有效燐酸 含量 뿐만 아니라 置換性 Ca, Mg 및 K 含量이 增加하고 있으며, 陽이온置換容量은 柑橘園의 耕作年代에 따른 變化가 거의 없는데 反하여 置換性 鹽基 含量이 增加하므로 鹽基飽和度가 높아지고 따라서 pH가 높아지고 있다. 石灰나 燐酸 施用에 依해 含量 減少가 거의 없는 것으로 알려진 置換性 Al 및 活性 Al 含量은 柑橘園의 耕作年代가 오래될수록 현저하게 減少되고 있다. 置換性 Al 含量 減少는 主로 pH 增加에 基因되나 活性 Al 含量 減少는 主로 燐酸肥料의 多量 施用에 基因된다. 따라서 有效燐酸 含量이 極히 낮은 深土에서는 活性 Al이 有機物 含量 및 pH(NaF)와 高度로 有意한 상관관계가 있으나 表土에서는 상관이 낮다. Cheju Do is a volcanic Island. The valcanic eruptions began in the tertiary and the last eruptions were in 1002 and 1007 A.D. Volcanic ash is wide spread as soil parent material throughout the Island. Soils in the Island thus reveal typical characteristics of volcanic ash soil. The soils in Cheju Island are classified into 5 orders, 10 suborders, 12 great groups, 30 subgroups, 47 families and 64 series. For convenience, however, these soils are categorized mainly into 4 groups : dark brown soils(17.0%), very dark brown soils(41.4%), black soils(21.6%) and brown forest soils(13.9%), The last two groups have typical characteristics of volcanic ash soils, while the first is atypical. It is well known to farmers that soils in the Island have very high phosphate fixing capacity. Heavy application of phosphate and potassium fertilizer is a common practice. Therfore the amount of chemical fertilizers consumed per unit area of cultivated land and the ratios of ?? and K₂O to N in Chemical fertilizers applied are much higher in the Cheju Island than those of the Korean mainland. These trends are particularly prominant in Southern Cheju where 70% of the Cheju citrus orchards are located. The coastal area has long been used for intensive farming and some of the midmountain region were recently reclaimed for agricultural crop production. The cation exchange capacity and the organic matter in the soils increase in the order of coastal area mid-mountain belt upper mountain area, while pH, base saturation, available phosphorus and exchangeable bases decrease with the elevation. These trends are especially prominant in citrus orchard soils. As the result of heavy application of phosphate fertilizers, the available phosphorus of citrus orchard soils increase with increasing number of years of cultivation. Base saturation and pH increase with the increase in number of years of cultivation, inasmuch as exchangeable bases such as Ca, Mg and K increase prominantly, but the cation exchange capacity do not vary in the citrus orchard soils. The exchangeable Al of the citrus orchard soils decrease with increasing number of years of cultivation. This has resulted from an increase in pH. The content of the extractable Al of the citrus orchard soils also decrease with the increase in number of years of cultivation. This is related to the fact that application of phosphate fertilizers led to a reduction in Al activity. The extractable Al content strongly correlated with the organic matter and pH(NaF) in the sub-soil where the available phosphorus is extremely low, but the correlation is less significant in the top soil. This suggests the large amounts of the extractable Al are released from the hydrous oxides of Al and that the organically complexed form in the sub-soil, and non-extractable due to the reactions with phosphates applied to the top soil.

This study was done to investigate histochemical and protein changes in the rat testis I WAT and 3 WAT with 4 mg/kg of cadmium, IP, single injection. A control group and 2 experimental groups were studied. Testes were processed routinely for H&E stain and agarose gel electrophoresis. The results were as follows ; 1. In the histochemical studies, death of all the spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules, and decreased ground substance, decreased fibroblasts and interstitial cells and increased inflammatory cells in the interstitial tissues were found in the cadmium treated groups, and the degree of necrotic changes was more severe in the 3 WAT group. 2. In the biochemical studies, two kinds of proteins, 25 kDa and 45 kDa, were disappeared and one kind of protein, 100 kDa, was decreased after Cd treatment. 25 kDa and 45 kDa proteins were suggested as actin which consist the spermatogenic cells, but what's the protein 100 kDa is unclear. According to the above results, it is considered that there would be irreversible changes in seminiferous convoluted tubules and also in the interstitial tissues after cadmium treatment, and detecting amino acid sequences of these proteins would help understanding the mechanism of necrosis in the testis tissue after cadmium administration.
