The purpose of this study was to analyze the anti-inflammatory effect of Chung-Dae Indigo Pulverata Levis, indigo naturalis) produced during indigo dyeing. As a result of in vitro cytotoxicity experiments using RAW 264.7 cell, Chung-Dae extract did not inhibit cell proliferation in Raw 264.7 cells in the range of 1~32 ㎍/mL. NO production was significantly reduced when Chung-Dae extracts were treated at concentrations of 2, 8, and 32 ㎍/mL (p<0.05). The pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IFN-γ significantly decreased when the Chung-Dae extract was treated at concentrations of 2, 8, and 32 ㎍/mL compared to the LPS group, and similarly, the TNFα and IL-6 mRNA levels also decreased. Additionally, the mRNA level of COX-2 was also suppressed. At the protein expression level, the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2 were observed with LPS and Chung-Dae extract significantly decreased compared to the group treated with only LPS (p<0.05). From the above results, it shows that Chung-Dae extract, a plant-derived compound, inhibits the inflammatory response induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells. and in particular, regulates the inflammatory response by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-related enzymes.

In this study, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity was studied to confirm the value of kailan (Brassica oleracea L.) as a natural material for cosmetics. For this study measure the antioxidative activity, total polyphenol content was measured, and DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity assays were conducted. As a result of measuring the total polyphenol content of hot water extract of kailan (KRD) and 70% ethanol extract of kailan (KRE), it was found to contain 124.3 mg TAE/100 g and 144.1 mg TAE/100 g, respectively. As a result of DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability, it was confirmed that the efficacy was concentration dependent. After treating the cells with LPS, a stimulant, for 2 hours, an experiment was conducted by treating RAW 264.7 cells with KRD and KRE at concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 ㎍/ml. The nitric oxide production inhibitory activity of KRD and KRE showed an inhibitory effect of about 30% at a concentration of 100 ㎍/ml. Cells cultured for 18 hours after stimulant treatment were obtained and used in experiments. The cells obtained in this way were lysed, protein and mRNA were extracted, and the expression of inflammatory mediators' inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was confirmed. It was confirmed that the protein mRNA expression of iNOS and COX-2, measured through western blot and reverse transcription-PCR, was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on this, it is judged that has the potential to be used as a natural material in cosmetics.

This study aimed to investigate the blood glucose regulatory effect of barley noodles contained mulberry leaves water extract (MLWE) in diabetic mice in order to provide fundamental data as a functional food. ICR mice were divided into six groups as follows: normal control, positive control, barley control, mulberry control, barley+MLWE 2.5% and barley+MLWE 5% groups. High fat/high carbohydrate diet was fed for 4 weeks and diabetes mellitus was induced by i.p. injection of streptozotocin and nicotinamide. After diabetes induction, experimental diet was supplemented for 2 weeks and simultaneous measurement of body weight, blood glucose (including glucose tolerance test), liver function and blood lipid profile was conducted. As a result, there was less decrease in body weight compared to the positive control group in the groups that supplemented barley and MLWE together than the group ingesting barley and MLWE alone. In addition, regulatory effects on blood glucose, liver function and blood lipid concentration were also stronger in barley and MLWE concurrently supplemented groups. Consequently, combination of barley and MLWE was effective in the regulation of body weight, blood glucose, liver function, and blood lipid in diabetic mice. Therefore, this recipe could be a promising strategy for beneficial effects in the patients of diabetes mellitus.

In Korea, which is entering a super-aged society, the number of elderly patients who have difficulty walking independently is expected to increase rapidly, and it is necessary to develop wheelchair products with various functions to improve the quality of life of people with walking disabilities. Recently, wheelchair power assist devices that provide propulsion power by being attached to a manual wheelchair has been developed and is entering the domestic and global markets. In this study, we compared and analyzed the process of obtaining medical device certification for wheelchair power assist devices in Korea, the United States, and Europe. In Korea, a Class 2 medical device certification process was developed in 2021, and in the US FDA, it corresponds to Class 2 like the existing electric wheelchair and must pass the 510k certification process. In the case of Europe, it is uniquely regulated as Class I, and the CE mark can be attached through a relatively easy self-declaration of conformity. The Korean medical device industry, which is struggling with MDR certification, a new European medical device regulation, should pay attention to the relatively easy entry into the global market for wheelchair power assist products.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of anions in the air on the purification of fine dust (PM10 and PM2.5) and to evaluate the effects of plants on the generation of anions in the air and the purification of fine dust. Subsequently, the fine dust reduction models were compared according to each factor and plant volume. The characteristics of anion generation by each factor were observed to be in the order of Type N.I (negative ion generator; 204,133.33 ea/cm³) > Type P₃₀ (plant vol. 30%; 362.55 ea/cm³) > Type C (control; 46.22 ea/cm³), indicating that the amount of anion generation in the anion generator treatment group and the plant arrangement group were approximately 4,417 times and 7 times higher, respectively, than that in the untreated group. Consequently, the fine dust reduction characteristics by anion generation source showed that for PM10, Type NI had a purification efficiency 2.52 times higher than Type C, and Type P₃₀ was 1.46 times higher, while for PM2.5, Type NI had a purification efficiency 2.26 times higher than Type C, and Type P₃₀ was 1.31 times higher. The efficiency of fine dust purification by plant volume was in the order of Type P₂₀ (84.60 minutes) > Type P₃₀ (106.50 minutes) = Type P₂₅ (115.50 minutes) = Type P₁₅ (117.60 minutes) > Type P₅ (125.25 minutes) = Type P₁₀ (129.75 minutes), and for ultrafine dust, Type P₂₀ (104.00 minutes) > Type P₃₀ (133.20 minutes) = Type P₂₅ (144.00 minutes) = Type P₁₅ (147.60 minutes) > Type P₅ (161.25 minutes) = Type P₁₀ (168.00 minutes). Thus, a quantitative analysis of the anions and plants for purifying fine dust and suggested matters to be considered for future green space planning and plant planting considering fine dust purification.

Recently, colloidal core/shell type quantum dots lighting-emitting diodes (QDLEDs) have been extensively studied and developed for the future of optoelectronic applications. In the work, we fabricate an inverted CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) based light-emitting diodes (QDLED)[1]. In order to reduce work function of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode for inverted structure, a very thin (<10 nm) polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) is used as surface modifier[2] instead of conventional metal oxide electron injection layer. The PEIE layer substantially reduces the work function of ITO electrodes which is estimated to be 3.08 eV by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study, CdSe/ZnS QDs are uniformly distributed and formed by a monolayer on PEIE layer. In this inverted QD LED, two kinds of hybrid organic materials, [poly (9,9-di-n-octyl-fluorene-alt-benzothiadiazolo)(F8BT) + poly(N,N'-bis (4-butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (poly-TPD)] and [4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) + poly-TPD], were adopted as hole transport layer having high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level for improving hole transport ability. At a low-operating voltage of 8 V, the device emits orange and red spectral radiation with high brightness up to 2450 and 1420 cd/m2, and luminance efficacy of 1.4 cd/A and 0.89 cd/A, respectively, at 7 V applied bias. Also, the carrier transport mechanisms for the QD LEDs are described by using several models to fit the experimental I-V data.
