Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers were modified by deep UV irradiation which was produced by a low pressure mercury lamp. FT-IR and XPS analyses were used to elucidate the surface chemical composition of PET fibers treated with UV. Relative $O_{1s}$ intensity increased considerably and it was found that oxygen was incorporated in the form of COO on the fiber surface. FT-IR and XPS analyses proved the existence of carboxylic groups on the surfaces and the adsorption test of cationic compound further supported these results. The concentration of carboxylic acid group on the surface increased remarkably with Increasing irradiation time. XPS analysis and adsorption experiments proved that the surface structure of the UV-irradiated PET fibers were stable for 12 months. Antibacterial property and the deodorization rate of UV-irradiated PET fibers adsorbed with the berberine compound were investigated. Reduction rates of bacteria increased by about 21 to 99% compared to unradiated PET fiber. Deodorization rates of 23% for unradiated PET fiber increased to about 75% for 30 min irradiated samples.s.

A study was done to compare the properties of artificially deteriorated silk with ultraviolets for reinforcing of loss area of paintings on silk. Deteriorated surface of raw silk irradiated by long-wavelength ultraviolet(UV-A) than short-wavelength ultraviolet(UV-C) was similar to naturally aged raw silk. UV-A irradiation raw silk was slowly decreased in tensile tenacity and elongation and lowered in yellowness index than that of UV-C. Water content of UV-A irradiation raw silk than that of UV-C was higher. UV-A irradiation raw silk had no problem in dyeing and inpainting for conservation because of low yellowness index. UV-C irradiation raw silk was brittle, but UV-A irradiation raw silk was seemed to tough and similar to naturally aged raw silk. Korean painting conservator estimated that UV-A irradiation raw silk was more proper for reinforcing of loss area of paintings on silk than that of UV-C.

The fertilized eggs of Rana dybowskii were irradiated with UV (254 nm wave length) on the vegetal hemisphere to investigate the effects on the primordial germ cells (PGCs) and axis formation. The investigations were carried out in two ways; namely time course and UV dose. Up to 1,600 $ergs/mm^2$ of UV dose, irradiated at 60 min. after fertilization, there was no effect on the PGC number. However, the number of PGC comparing with that of unirradiated control was decreased more than 40%. As the amount of irradiation was increased, the number of PGC was inversely declined. The maximal dose of irradiation which eliminates PGC completely without inducing any axis abnormality was 4,800 $ergs/mm^2$. If the eggs were irradiated earlier with this amount the severer effect could be obtained. Thus the UV effect on the PGC number was most effective when irradiated by 60 min. post fertilization. Thereasfter stage. At UV doses over 9,600 $erge/mm^2$ other effects start to appear; namely abnormalities of nerual tube and axis formation. Therefore, comparative study on the UV sensitivity of PGC and axis formation was carried out. It was revealed that UV effect on the axis was drastically decreased at the time of $0.7\\sim0.8$ between fertilization and 1st cleavage, while the germ plasm was sensitive to UV until 4 cell stage.

In this study, we have investigated the effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on the external and internal structure of human hair. For changes in morphological and chemical structure of UV-exposed hair, we utilized several microscopic techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), and etc. The SEM showed the scales of UV-exposed hair appeared to be rough and bulkier because of chemical oxidation during UV irradiation. Small bulgy area of UV_exposed hair surface was appeared as a result of the decomposition in cysteic acid. In the TEM picture the UV-exposed hair showed the cleaved aperture of hair and destruction of melanin granules. Three dimensional topographical images were obtained by using CLSM. In the optical single section, high fluorescent intensity appeared in virgin hair. In the case of UV-exposed hair, low fluorescence intensity appeared. This means the aromatic amino acids in virgin hair were more abundant than UV-exposed hair.

In the previous results, we developed an effective products to apply as functional foods for overcome of radiation damage and reduction of side effects in radiotherapy. To verify the prevention of UVB-induced immunosuppression of immune cell function by HemoHIM, we studied on the mechanism of the skin immune function for the protection in UVB irradiation. In studies presented here, we showed that HemoHIM can prevent UVB-induced impairment of skin immune cell function by in vitro and in vivo assay. Exposure of freshly cultured murine dendritic cells (DCs) with IL-4/GM-CSF to UVB irradiation resulted in impairment of accessory function. This suppression could be prevented by addition of HemoHIM before or after to the cultures of UVB-irradiated DCs. We also tested the effects of HemoHIM on the suppression of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) treated oral or intraperitoneal administration. This UVB-suppressed CHS was prevented by administration of HemoHIM to UVB-irradiated mice. These results suggest that HemoHIM may prevent UVB-induced immune suppression in the skin.

자외선 등에 의한 DNA 합성억제의 회복과정에서의 기작을 규명하기 위하여 자외선에 의하여 억제되었던 DNA 합성이 새로운 replication origin을 사용하는 지를 DNA 복제가 일어나는 장소로 알려진 nuclear matrix와 연관지어서 살펴 보았다. 자외선 조사후 새로 합성된 DNA 분자들의 크기는 시간이 경과하여도 대조군의 DNA 분자들의 크기보다 작았으나 그 성장 양상은 차이가 얼었고, 자외선이 조사된 세포에서 parental DNA의 부가적인 결합이 DNA 합성률의 회복에 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 자외선 상해의 회복과정에서 생기는 알카리 민감성 부위는 RNA linker에 의해 생겨남을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하여 보면, 자외선에 의해 pyrimidine dimer가 생기면 첫째로 절제회복에 의해 제거되어지지만, 남아 있는 pyrimidine dimel에 의해서 DNA 복제억제는 여전히 억제되어 있다. DNA 복제억제의 회복은 새로운 복제원점이 활성화되어 nuclear matrix에 결합하여 새로운 DNA 합성이 시작됨으로써 이루어진다. 이때 RNA linker는 복제진행시 DNA 상의 gap으로 생긴 tyopological strain을 제거하는데 이용되어진다.

In this study, an experiment was conducted to develop a sunscreen with antioxidant effects by simultaneously investigating the antioxidant and UV protection capabilities of various plant extracts. First, to investigate the UV-blocking ability of 33 kinds of plant extracts, the absorbance spectrum between the UV wavelength of 280 to 400 nm was investigated. Arrowroot, graviola, wheat sprout, sangbaek skin, thorn meal, lacquer, etc. 11 species were selected. The total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the selected plant extracts are measured to examine the degree of antioxidant activity, and from this, it is a plant extract that has excellent UV protection and antioxidant activity at the same time. The species was selected. A gel-shaped cream is prepared by mixing the selected gold, hops, and licorice extracts in a ratio of 1:1:1, and the UV protection effect of this cream is measured when the cultured cells are irradiated with UV rays. Determined by the method. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the selected mixture of plant extracts complemented each other in terms of ultraviolet absorption ability and increased cell damage protection effect. Through these results, it was confirmed that it was possible to develop a sunscreen with an antioxidant effect if the antioxidant and sunscreen capabilities of various plant extracts were determined at the same time.

In strawberry production, among others, the high incidence of diseases by pathogenic fungi resulting in the reduction of fruit yield and quality requires the development of eco-friendly management systems rather than chemical sprays to control them. The diameter of colonies grown in media at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days was measured to evaluate the in vitro inhibition of mycelial growth of 5 pathogenic fungi by irradiation with ultraviolet (UV-C, 264 nm). The mycelial growth of 5 pathogenic fungi was inhibited in potato dextrose agar (PDA) by the irradiation of UV-C for 1 hour a day, and was dramatically inhibited by the irradiation of UV-C for 9-12 h a day. The irradiation of UV-C for 9-12 h a day inhibited completely the growth of the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora cactorum. The irradiation distance of 40 to 50 cm was effective for the inhibition of mycelial growth of fungi. The mycelial growth of fungi without pre-incubation was inhibited strongly by UV-C irradiation compared to fungi pre-incubated for 2 days without light. The mycelia growth of Colletotrichum gloeosprioides and Fusarium oxysporum was inhibited strongly by UV-C irradiation in vegetable 8 juice agar compared to PDA.
