산벚나무는 장미과에 속하는 것으로, 수피인 화피의 radical 소거능과 항염증 효과가 보고되고 있어, 이를 이용하여 화장품 원료로 이용하고자 생리활성을 검증하였다. 전자공여능은 에탄올추출물 500 ppm에서 92%의 효능을 보여 열수추출물 59% 보다 우수하였고, SOD 유사활성의 경우 열수추출물 1,000 ppm에서 에탄올추출물의 경우는 50%의 활성능을 나타내었다. xanthine oxidase 저해능은 500 ppm의 농도에서 열수추출물의 경우 40%, 에탄올추출물의 경우 60%의 저해능을 나타내었다. 지방산패 억제능 측정의 경우 $Cu^{2+}$에 의한 저해 효과는 열수추출물보다 에탄올추출물의 효과가 높았으며, $Fe^{2+}$에 의한 저해 효과는 열수와 에탄올추출물 모두 500 ppm에서 80% 이상의 저해능을 보였다. 피부미백과 관련된 tyrosinase 저해능의 경우 1,000 ppm에서 열수추출물의 경우는 26%, 에탄올추출물의 경우 20%의 저해능을 보였다. 항염증과 관련된 hyaluronidase 저해능의 경우 500ppm에서 에탄올추출물의 경우 96%의 효능을 보였다. 산벚나무 수피추출물의 피부상재균인 Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli 및 Propionibacterium acne에 대한 저해환형성을 관찰한 결과 열수추출물보다 에탄올추출물의 효능이 더 우수하였다.

Purpose: Pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy in pollinosis patients caused by raw fruits and vegetables and is the most common food allergy in adults. However, there has been no nationwide study on PFAS in Korea. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of PFAS in Korea. Methods: Twenty-two investigators participated in this study, in which patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and/or bronchial asthma with pollen allergy were enrolled. The questionnaires included demographic characteristics, a list of fruits and vegetables, and clinical manifestations of food allergy. Pollen allergy was diagnosed by skin prick test and/or measurement of the serum level of specific IgE. Results: A total of 648 pollinosis patients were enrolled. The prevalence of PFAS was 41.7% (n = 270). PFAS patients exhibited cutaneous (43.0%), respiratory (20.0%), cardiovascular (3.7%) or neurologic symptoms (4.8%) in addition to oropharyngeal symptoms. Anaphylaxis was noted in 8.9% of the PFAS patients. Seventy types of foods were linked to PFAS; e.g., peach (48.5%), apple (46.7%), kiwi (30.4%), peanut (17.4%), plum (16.3%), chestnut (14.8%), pineapple (13.7%), walnut (14.1%), Korean melon (12.6%), tomato (11.9%), melon (11.5%) and apricot (10.7%). Korean foods such as taro/taro stem (8.9%), ginseong (8.2%), perilla leaf (4.4%), bellflower root (4.4%), crown daisy (3.0%), deodeok (3.3%), kudzu root (3.0%) and lotus root (2.6%) were also linked to PFAS. Conclusions: This was the first nationwide study of PFAS in Korea. The prevalence of PFAS was 41.7%, and 8.9% of the PFAS patients had anaphylaxis. These results will provide clinically useful information to physicians.
