1.Changes of hydroxyprolin in the slake lime burn treated by maduxin
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):28-30
Maduxin ointment is totally extracts from the leaves of the Maduca pasquieri and has been applied in burn treatment in Vietnam since 1987. We studied the effects of Maduxin on the collagenization at burn wounds by following up the changes of OH-Pro content at slaked lime burn wounds - a popular type of burn in Vietnam in comparison with the effects of SSD in burn treatment. Our study was carried out in 21 slaked lime burn patients who were treated at the Vietnam Burn Institute from May to September 1997. The results indicated that OH-Pro concentration increases related to collagen synthesis during the burn wound healing. In the slaked lime burn wounds treated by Maduxin OH-Pro level in burn tissue increases more than in the wounds treated by Silvesufadiazin during the healing.

L-proline (L-Pro) is the only imino acid among the 20 amino acids that constitute biological proteins, and its main hydroxylated product is trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (T-4-Hyp). Both of them have unique biological activities and play important roles in biomedicine, food and beauty industry. With the in-depth exploration of the functions of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp, the demand for them is gradually increasing. Traditional methods of biological extraction and chemical synthesis are unable to meet the demand of "green, environmental protection and high efficiency". In recent years, synthetic biology has developed rapidly. Through the intensive analysis of the synthetic pathways of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp, microbial cell factories were constructed for large-scale production, which opened a new chapter for the green and efficient production of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp. This paper reviews the application and production methods of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp, the metabolic pathways for microbial synthesis of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp, and the engineering strategies and advances on microbial production of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the "green bio-manufacturing" of L-Pro and T-4-Hyp and promote their industrial production.

BACKGROUND: We studied whether alcohol intake influences in urinary 4-Hyp concentration and whether 4-Hyp concentration is change by time in healthy office workers for 2 weeks. METHODS: Three healthy male workers, who has a same job, recruited for this study, aged from 29 to 33 years, who had been any diagnosed or treated to the alcohol or bone related diseases. Urine samples were picked about 30 ml in screw capped vials for 2 weeks, and analysing method were used to previous published method for determination of urinary 4-Hyp with dansyl chloride. RESULTS: From the ANOVA-test results about objects' Hyp concentration that classify by urine picking time, When subjects did not ingest alcohol, urinary 4-Hyp concentration was difference according to subjects for-work and post-work. But, did not show difference when subjects ingested alcohol. While, T-test result that do alcohol intake existence and nonexistence and urine picking time by variable, urinary 4-Hyp concentration did not show difference for-work and post-work, but there was difference in post-work that is next day that ingest alcohol. When did not ingest alcohol, mean concentration of urinary 4-Hyp increased go by post-work (3.80+/-6.47 nmol/mg creatinine) in pre-work (1.46+/-1.61 nmol/mg creatinine). But when ingested alcohol, mean concentration of urinary 4-Hyp decreased by the next day morning (3.32+/-6.36 nmol/mg creatinine), order of for-work (1.54+/-1.59 nmol/mg creatinine) in alcohol intake future generations post-work (5.09+/-6.41 nmol/mg creatinine). CONCLUSION: We confirmed that alcohol is influencing in urinary 4-Hyp concentration of three healthy male workers, who has a same job, for 2 weeks, and mean concentration of 4-Hyp increasing go by the post-work in the pre-work, could confirm that influence in the next day morning if ingest alcohol in the evening.

Experimental replacements of rabbit vitreous by air, normal saline, dextran and Haemaccel were tried in albino rabbits. After aspiration of 0.7ml of liquid vitreous from the central portion of vitreous, 0.5ml of substitutes were injected. Clinically, these substitutes were well tolerated with slight uveal inflammation which subsided within one week. Intraocular pussure returned to normal value after 5 days. Hexosamine content of the whole vitreous samples showed moderate increase after Haemaccel injection which decreased slowly thereafter, whereas no significant changes were observed with other substitutes. Hydroxyproline content of the whole vitreous also showed marked increase after injection of Haemaccel, owing to the high hydroxyproline content of HaemacceJ. After 6 weeks 22.9% of the injected hydroxyproline remained in the vitreous. With other substitutes no change was observed.

The purpose of this study is to examine how nutritionists, principals and parents evaluated the importance and priorities of different selection factors for food materials suppliers in an attempt to suggest how to ensure the best supplier choice, since the selection of the best supplier was mandatory for the successful TQM of school food services. This study especially aims to develop priority alternatives based on relative rather than absolute assignments on selection of suppliers for school food service materials. To apply AHP, the selection factors of a food materials suppliers were grouped into five categories, which included quality, service, reliability, hygiene and price. And the five categories involved 28 elements. As the result, quality was considered most crucial on the whole, followed by service, reliability, hygiene and price; and food labeling in the category of quality evaluated as that of first priority in the totality evaluation elements.

9.Orbital Tissue Changes Induced by the Serum of Patients Suffering from Endocrine Exophthalmos.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1964;5(2):11-17
In endocrine exophthalmos. changes in the mucopolysaccharide in the orbital tissues are believed to play an important role, In order to investigate the changes induced by the exophthalmogenic factor in the serum of patients, the following experiment was undertaken. Male guinea pigs, 200-250g, were divided into four groups according to the treatment. Group I: Normal control, 5ml of normal saline was injected. Group II: 5ml of normal human serum was injected. Group III: 5ml of ptients' serum was injected. Group IV: TSH preparation (Ambinon, Organon), 5 International Unit was injected. All injections were repeated every day for 3 days, and 48 hours after the last injection, animals were bled to death and the tissues were removed. Water content of retrobulbar connective tissue, hexosamine and hydroxyproline content of Harder's gland and ventral lacrimal gland were determined. In animals treated with patient's serum, water content and hexosamine content increased significantly, whereas hydroxyproline showed no change. TSH preparation caused the same changes as the patient's serum. Aninlals injected with normal human serum showed no changes either in water content nor hexosamine and hydroxyproline content. The increased water content is considered to be followed by the accumulations of mucopolysaccharide, of which hexosamine is the main component. The possible relationship between exophthalmos-preducing factor and changes in orbital tissues were dicussed.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study was designed to determine the effect of hepatic fibrotic severity on pharmacokinetics of propranolol in CCl4-treated rats. METHODS: 1 mL/kg of 10% CCl4 in olive oil was injected intramuscularly to rats twice weekly for 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks, respectively (n=6). Control (n=6) was a sham-injected equal dose of olive oil for 10 weeks. After intravenous bolus injection of 2 mg/kg propranolol to rats, the serum propranolol concentrations were analyzed for 4 hours at various time points by a HPLC-fluorimetric system, and pharmacokinetic parameters such as C0, MRT, AUC, Vdss, t1/2( ) and CLp were determined. Then, a small amount of hepatic tissue was obtained and subjected to determination of the hepatic 4-hydroxyproline content, which confirmed the hepatic fibrotic severity. RESULTS: The serum concentrations of propranolol at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours were significantly increased in CCl4-treated rats (p<0.01). In proportion to the duration of CCl4 treatment, C0 and AUC were significantly increased, and Vdss and CLp were significantly decreased (p<0.001). But MRT and t1/2( ) were not significantly changed. The hepatic 4-hydroxyproline content was gradually increased in CCl4-treated rats (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Gradual changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of propranolol were seen to be dependent on the hepatic fibrotic severity. We suggest that gradual dosage modification, according to their hepatic fibrotic severity, is necessary for many drugs administered to patients with chronic liver disease.
