Since 2010, the Odor Prevention Act has identified and regulated four types of fatty acids as substances that cause odors. Four types of fatty acids are contributors to odor pollution and are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. However, the current analysis method has several limitations, including dependency on the timing of sampling before and after the procedure, as well as dependency on the specific analysis method employed. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of the ion chromatography analysis method by utilizing ultrapure distilled water as a means to improve the current approach. Initially, the analysis system underwent a quality assessment. The results indicated a linearity (R2) of 0.99, a limit of 10 nmol/mol or lower, supporting the conclusion that it is suitable. Furthermore, the investigation focused on the substance’s tendency to change over time in ultrapure water and under alkali absorption (0.01N NaOH). At a concentration of 0.95 ng (low-concentration standard sample), the confirmed peak area values ranged from 0.0004 μg/min to 0.0010 μg/min, resulting in an injection variation of approximately ± 0.001. At 23.7 ng (high-concentration standard sample), the peak area value fluctuated between 0.008 μg/min and 0.013 μg/ min, with an average of ± 0.002. Therefore, storing the material at temperatures below 4°C for up to 3 days (72 hours) after manufacturing seemed to facilitate the optimal conditions for maintaining its stability without significant changes taking place. Finally, blank samples from the laboratory, equipment, and site were analyzed. Out of the four substances analyzed, only n-butyl acid was detected in all three background samples. It was confirmed that it represented 4% of the peak area in the 4.94 ng standard sample.
비임상시험관리기준에서 독성시험 전 분석법 밸리데이션은 농도 설정 및 시료 제조 측면에서 중요하다. 시험기관에서는 의뢰받은 시험물질 2종에 대한 밸리데이션을 고성능액체크로마토그래피를 이용 하여 수행한 결과 특이성, 시스템 적합성, 직선성, 일내 재현성, 균질성, 안정성, 농도분석, 품질관리를 판정 기준에 만족하는 분석방법을 확립 및 검증하였다. 하지만 의뢰기관의 시험성적서상 표준물질 함량은 시험 기관의 결과보다 1.34배, 1.17배 높은 결과로 나타나 비임상시험관리기준에 적합한 분석법 밸리데이션을 통한 결과 도출이 신뢰성과 안정성 확보 측면에서 중요함을 확인하였다.
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine analog which can work as antineoplastic antimetabolite by blocking thymidylate synthetase conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid in DNA synthesis. This study is aimed to know the anticancer effect of 5-FU on the expressions of important signaling proteins in KB cells through immunoprecipitation high performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC). KB cells were treated with 5 μM 5-FU and cultured for 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours, and followed by IP-HPLC analysis using 32 antisera. 5-FU suppressed the proliferation of KB cells by decreases in the expressions of proliferation-related proteins, Ki-67, PCNA, CDK4, and MPM2 to 82.6%, 92.4%, 95.2%, and 95.9%, respectively, but increases of antiproliferation-related proteins, p16 and p21 to 106.7% and 125.5%, respectively, during 96 hours of experiment. This proliferation reduction was also negatively regulated by cMyc/MAX/MAD network signaling. The cellular protection and survival were consistently arrested by 5-FU treatment in KB cells. The expressions of NFkB, MDR, p-mTOR, and TNFα were decreased to 95.1%, 92.8%, 93.4%, and 90.3% in 48-72 hours, respectively, while cellular stress was increased by upregulation of p38 to 111.3% in 48 hours. And the expressions of pAKT1/2/3, hTERT, and AMPK were also decreased to 93.3%, 97.4%, and 89.3% in 24-48 hours, respectively, while the cellular transformation might be undergone by upregulation of TGF-β1 to 117% until 96 hours. Particularly, 5-FU treatment greatly induced the cellular apoptosis in KB cells by increased expressions of PARP, cPARP, caspase 9, c-caspase 9, caspase 8, and caspase 3 in the lack of p53/BAX and FASL/FAS signaling. The expressions of PARP and c-PARP were increased maximum to 119.2% in 24 hours, and followed by increases of caspase 9, c-caspase 9, caspase 8, and caspase 3 to 111.2%, 125.9%, 108.6%, and 116.3% in 72-96 hours. Therefore, it is presumed that 5-FU induced cellular apoptosis in KB cells may be derived from the overexpression of PARP due to the increased DNA defect caused by 5-FU, which can lead to ATP depletion and subsequent cellular apoptosis.
국내 유통 주류 95점에 대하여 에틸카바메이트 잔류실태 조사를 실시하였다. 탁주, 약주, 청주, 과실주를 비롯하여 소주, 브랜디 그리고 에틸카바메이트 잔류가 많이 보고되고 있는 리큐르 등을 대상으로 하였다. 액액분배를 통하여 정제하였으며, GC/MS/MS 분석법을 정립하였다. 카트리지(cartridge)나 농축 과정이 없기 때문에 식품공전에등재되어 있는 GC/MS 분석법보다 분석시간이나 소요비용 면에서 매우 효율적이었다. 정성한계는 1.3 ug/L이었으며, 정량한계는 4.0 ug/L이었다. 탁주, 약주, 청주에 대하여각각 0.63, 7.01, 14.11 ug/L의 평균 잔류량을 나타내 캐나다의 청주 허용기준 200 ug/L나 약주, 청주에서 논의되고있는 허용기준치 200 ug/L와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한수준인 것으로 나타났다. 복분자주, 포도주에서는 각각 평균 1.66, 2.64 ug/L 검출되어 현재 캐나다, 체코에서 포도주허용기준치로 설정되어 있는 30 ug/L와 비교하여 보았을 때역시 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 과실주 중 매실주의 경우 평균 79.18 ug/L로 본 연구를 통하여 평가된 모든 주종 중 가장 높은 잔류량을 나타내었으나, 외국의 다른 유사 주종에대한 허용기준치 (예로서 캐나다의 경우 400 ug/L 과실 브랜디)와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한 수준으로 평가할 수있었다. 증류식 소주, 일반증류주, 리큐르도 논의되고 있는기준치와 비교하여 보았을 때 안전한 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 조사결과는 우리술의 에틸카바메이트 잔류실태가위험한 수준이 아니라는 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이며, 향후 이러한 유해물질의 지속적인 잔류조사 및 위해평가를 통하여 우리 술 및 전통발효식품의 품질 및 안전성을 확보해 나가야 할 것이다.
As the human mixed saliva plays important roles for the protection, regeneration, immunity, and molecular transfer/ signaling in the oral and gastro-intestinal mucosa, the salivary contents have great implications for the general health of human body. Nevertheless, the analysis method of human saliva has not been well developed up to date, because the proteins of mixed saliva are rapidly interacted with each other and easily degraded by proteolytic enzymes and microorganisms. This study aims to develop an immunoprecipitation-based high performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC) for the analysis of human mixed saliva. The representative IP-HPLC analyses were performed to compare among different subjects in variable general conditions. Compared to the normal control the subjects suffered from bacterial infections of gastro-intestinal enteritis, chronic periodontitis, and acute necrotizing gingivo-stomatitis showed dramatic increase of LL-37 level depending on the severity of diseases, while the subject suffered from Herpes stomatitis, a viral infection showed great increase of β-defensin 2. These data indicate that LL-37 in human mixed saliva is more responsible to the bacterial infections of gastro-intestinal enteritis, chronic periodontitis, and acute necrotizing gingivo-stomatitis, while β-defensin 2 is more responsible to the viral infection of Herpes stomatitis. This study also suggeststhat the IP-HPLC be easily applicable to the wide range of biological samples for the quantitative analysis of an objective protein.
본 논문에서는 식품 중 퀴놀론계(QNs) 합성항균제(marbofloxacin, norfloxacin, danofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, difloxacin, sarafloxacin, oxolinic acid 그리고 flumequine) 9종을 분석하기 위하여, 액-액 추출 과정을 거쳐서 형광검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 QNs를 효율적으로 동시분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 컬럼은 Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8(150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), 이동상 용매는 200 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5)와 ACN로 기울기 용리를 사용하였으며, 유속은 1.5 ml/min, 그리고, 주입량은 10 μl로 설정하여 분석하였다. 확립 된 분석조건으로, 표준검정 곡선은 10-500 μg/kg의 농도범위에서 상관계수가 0.9989 이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었으며, 회수율은 50, 100 그리고 500 μg/kg의 농도에서 89.6-106.5 %로, 향상된 추출효율을 나타내었다. 검출한계는 1-16 μg/kg이었고, 정량한계는 3-47 μg/kg이었으며, 일내(intra-day)와 일간(inter-day) 정밀도(CV%)는 0.2-15.0 %, 0.5-11.7 %이었다. 따라서, 확립된 분석방법은 광어 및 계란 중의 QNs을 효과적으로 분석하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
