The skin is the body's first line of defense against external infection. When a skin disease strikes, the skin's protective role is compromised, necessitating quick diagnosis and treatment. Recently, as artificial intelligence has advanced, research for technical applications has been done in a variety of sectors, including dermatology, to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and obtain quick treatment using artificial intelligence. Although previous studies have diagnosed skin diseases with low incidence, this paper proposes a method to classify common illnesses such as warts and corns using a convolutional neural network. The data set used consists of 3 classes and 2,515 images, but there is a problem of lack of training data and class imbalance. We analyzed the performance using a deep metric loss function and a cross-entropy loss function to train the model. When comparing that in terms of accuracy, recall, F1 score, and accuracy, the former performed better.

Psychological stress can affect the physiological condition of the skin and cause various cutaneous disorders. The stress hormone cortisol is secreted by various skin cells such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanocytes. Tight junctions (TJs) are cell-cell junctions that form a barrier in the stratum granulosum of mammalian skin. TJs can also affect other skin barriers and are affected by chemical, microbial, or immunological barriers. Stress can cause damage to the skin barrier. Interestingly, to our knowledge, there has not been any research demonstrating the involvement of TJs in this process. In this study, cortisol was used to treat keratinocytes to determine its role in regulating TJs. We found that cortisol damaged skin barrier function by regulating the gene expression and structure of TJ components. Cortisol also inhibited the development of the granular layer in a skin equivalent model. These results suggest that cortisol affects the skin barrier function by the regulation of TJs.

온천수는 땅 표면에 자연 용출되거나 인공적으로 시추하여 끌어올린 지하수로서 수온이 그 지역의 연평균 기온 또는 그 지역의 얕은 지층의 지하수 수온보다 높아야 한다. 우리나라는 섭씨 25도 이상을 온천으로 규정하고 있다. 온천수는 일반적으로 혈액순환, 진통완화, 진정작용, 피부미용에 효과가 있는 것으로 널리 알려져 있으며 이것의 효능은 일반적으로 수온과 물속에 포함되어 있는 다양한 미네랄 성분의 작용으로 알려져 있다. 아산지역은 온양, 도고, 아산 온천으로 유명한 온천지대이다. 본 연구에서는 온천수를 화장품 제형에 적용시키고 피부자극테스트를 통하여 피부자극이 없음과 온양온천수를 이용한 제품에서 8.56%의 경피수분함유량의 증가가 나타나 피부개선 효과를 나타내었다.

The standard cultured sheet grafts for large full-thickness burn wound has been tempered by weak points such as long culture periods, difficulty in handling the fragile sheets, high costs and the detachment of the skin cells from the culture dishes by enzymatic digestion. Here we report on a new technique of using skin cells cultured on spherical microcarriers for skin regeneration. We cultured the human skin cells on biodegradable polymer microcarriers and transplanted onto wounds in the back of nude mice. After 21 days, histological examination showed the regeneration of epithelium. The technique developed in this study overcomes the drawbacks of the current artificial skin grafts, and could be utilized as an efficient skin wound regeneration therapy.

Kicking someone has clothes on causes direct contact between victim's clothes and skin. This contact makes material exchange from skin to inner clothes. In this study, foot impressions by transferred to cloths from skin would be enhanced by amino acid staining reagent (ninhydrin, 1,2-IND/Zn, DFO). In view of research ethics, we conducted this research with porcine skin instead of human's one. To mimic human's skin condition, applied artificial sweat on porcine skin. According to results, ninhydrin showed high contrast on light colored background and 1,2-IND/Zn, DFO showed high contrast on dark colored background. It showed different results up to kind of fabrics.

개인용 로봇의 촉각기능을 담당할 수 있는 유연성 기반 인공피부센서 시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 수직력을 측정할 수 있는 64 개의 FSR 센서(Techstorm Co.)와 전단력을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 1 개의 PVDF 필름(PSI Co.)을 융합하여 인공피부센서 시스템을 제작하였다 제작된 촉각센서는 10 cm x 10 cm 크기로 임의의 물체가 접촉할 경우 형상을 측정할 수 있으며 또한 물체표면의 거칠기 상태를 판단할 수 있다. 한편, 3축 로드셀 기반 평가 시스템을 제작하여 센서의 수직력을 평가하였으며 PVDF 필름을 통한 접촉하는 대상의 거칠기 평가는 주파수 분석으로 평가하였다.(중략)
