The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Litsea japonica fruit are mediated via suppression of NF-kB and JNK/p38 MAPK activation
*SCI논문임
*Abstract:
Fruits of the Litsea family of trees and shrubs contain biologically active compounds, some of which have been used
as natural nutrients and flavoring agents in food. In this study,we identified novel anti-nociceptive effects of the 30%
ethanol extract, the CH2Cl2 fraction and the associated active components (Hamabiwalactone A and B) from Litsea
japonica fruit by using in vivo peripheral and central nervous pain models. In addition, we compared the antiinflammatory
effects of several fractions from L. japonica fruit extracts using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated
Raw264.7 cells. The CH2Cl2 fraction of L. japonica fruit (LJM) had an optimal combination of anti-inflammatory effects
and low cytotoxicity. Dose response studies were performed to determine the inhibitory effects of LJM on
the pro-inflammatory enzymes, COX-2/PGE2 and NO/iNOS, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-
α. Molecular profiling revealed that LJM exerts anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of NF-κB and JNK/
p38 MAPK signaling in LPS-induced macrophages. This study suggests that CH2Cl2 fraction of L. japonica fruit and
its bioactive components are potential candidates as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents (painkillers) for the
treatment of inflammatory diseases

Preventive resin restoration, extended concept of occlusal pit and fissure sealing, is procedure composed of as follows. Cavity preparation is limited to areas of initial caries The cavity is then restored with composite resin, while other sound pits and fissures are sealed with pit and fissure sealant. If pit and assure sealant with which microrestoration is possible is used, it may be of great benefit to both patient and operator in case of difficult-to-control children s treatment. However study on preventive resin restoration using this kind of materials have been scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of four different modes of preventive resin restoration. Restoration using only composite resin was compared together Fifty-five bicuspids were prepared with small class I cavity preparation on the occlusal surface, divided into the following groups and restored accordingly. Group 1 : Cavity was restored with Z-100 composite resin Group 2 : Cavity was restored with Z-100 composite resin. Pits and fissures were then sealed with Teethmate F-1 Group 3 : Cavity was restored with Z-100 composite resin Pits and fissures were then sealed with Ultraseal XT-plus Group 4 : Cavity and pits and fissures were restored with Ultraseal XT-plus altogrether Group 5 : Cavity was restored with Ultraseal XT-plus. Pits and fissures were then sealed with the same material. After restoration, the samples were thermocycled 500 times between and with a dwell time of 30 seconds. After thermocycling, the samples were dipped into 1% methylene blue solution for 24 hours, then rinsed with tap water. The teeth were then embedded in resin and cut buccolingually along the tooth axis and observed with a stereomicroscope to determine the degree of microleakage. The results were as follows : 1. Group 4 showed the greatest microleakage, while group 3, showed the least. The mean microleakage decreased in the following order:4>1>5>2>3. 2. There was no stastically significant difference between group 1 and group 5(p>0.05). However, group 1 showed significantly greater microleakage compared to group 2 and 3(p0.05). However group 2 showed significantly less microleakage compared to group 4 and 5(p<0.05) 4. Group 3 showed significantly less microleakage compared to group 4 and 5(p<0.05). 5. Group 5 showed significantly less microleakage than group 4(p<0.05)
