본 연구에서는 생균제로서의 L. fermentum YL-3의 미세캡슐화를 시도하였고, 균체에 대한 캡슐 재료의 영향을 조사함으로써 캡슐제조시 균에 대한 손상을 최소화하고자 하였다. 그리고 제조된 캡슐의 내산성과 저장성을 조사하여 유산균의 내산성과 저장능의 증진에 적합한 캡슐의 제조 및 보존 방법을 연구하였다. 먼저, 인체에 무독성인 sodium alginate를 캡슐의 원료로 선택하여 microcapsule을 제조한 결과 생균제가 alginate 캡슐에 포집되어 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, pH 2에서 120-126 ${\mu}m$ 크기의 견고한 캡슐을 제조하였으며, pH가 증가할수록 크기가 커지지만 pH 3 이상에서는 견고성이 너무 떨어져 캡슐의 형성이 어려워 오히려 pH 3에서의 캡슐보다 작은 형태를 나타내었다. 반면, 캡슐 후의 생균제의 생존율은 pH가 증가할수록 높게 나타났다. 그리고 캡슐제조시 사용되는 재료가 균체에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 캡슐의 주재료인 sodium alginate와 $CaCl_{2}$는 균의 활성을 떨어뜨리는 것으로 조사되었고, 그 외의 재료인 sodium citrate, Tween 80, Span 80, soybean oil은 균의 활성에 별다른 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 microcapsule과 macrocapsule을 제조하여 각각의 캡슐의 내산성과 저장성을 비교한 결과, 내산성은 microcapsule이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 저장성은 $4^{\circ}C$에서는 microcapsule, $25^{\circ}C$에서는 macrocapsule에서의 생균제 활성이 좋은 것으로 확인되었다.

We have previously described a new multilayer alginate microcapsule system, and the goals of the present study were to assess the in vitro function of islets encapsulated in its inner layer, and the angiogenic ability of FGF-1 delivered from the external layer in an omentum pouch. Following isolation and culture, islets were encapsulated in the inner core of microspheres ($500-600{\mu}m$ in diameter) with a semi-permeable poly-L-ornithine (PLO) membrane separating two alginate layers, and both unencapsulated and encapsulated islet function was assessed by a dynamic glucose perifusion. For angiogenesis experiments, one group of microcapsules without FGF-1 (control) and another (test) containing FGF-1 with heparin encapsulated in the external layer were made. One hundred microcapsules of each group were transplanted in Lewis rats (n = 5/group) and were retrieved after 14 days for assessment of angiogenesis. Glucose perifusion of unencapsulated and encapsulated islets resulted in similar stimulation indices. The release of FGF-1 resulted in increased vascular density compared to controls. In conclusion, islets encapsulated in the core of multilayer alginate microcapsules maintain functionality and the microcapsule's external layer is effective in delivery of FGF-1 to enhance graft neovascularization in a retrievable omentum pouch.

The inhibition rate of bacteria growth per molecular weight was higher according as the molecular weight increased, the rate was the highest at the molecular weight 200,000. Microcapsule of ionized calcium was able to be produced by molecular weight 15,000, 30,000, 50,000 and 200,000 of chitosan which was dried for 48 hours after melting it in 2% of acetic acid, adding ionized calcium and controlling pH 1.2. The size of ionized calcium microcapsule was between 200 and $300\;{\mu}m$, the solvency, concentration and the content showed big difference by the molecular weight of chitosan. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth of microcapsule designated high in Gram positive, which was high in S. aureus, S. epidermidis and Bacillus subtilis, low in S. mutans, high in C. albicans in fungi, low in A. niger. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth of chitosan was comparatively high in Gram positive, low in S. mutans and it showed high numerical value in C. albicans of fungi. The rate recorded good result at molecular weight 200,000 relatively, there was no difference according to the molecular weight. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth according to the concentration of the microcapsule increased differently between $1.000{\sim}10,000\;{\mu}g/ml$, it showed antibacterial activity close to the inhibition rate of growth of chitosan rather than ionized calcium. The minimum inhibitory concentration marked the highest in the mixture of chitosan and ionized calcium for all kind of bacteria generally, there was a little difference between yeast and fungi.

The alginate-based hydrogel was prepared as a pH-sensitive drug delivery system. To enhance the drug loading capacity, activated carbon was introduced as a drug absorbent. The iron oxide was incorporated into the alginate matrix for the magnetic transferring to the target organ. The activated carbon and iron-oxide were dispersed uniformly in the alginate hydrogel. The drug release from the alginate/activated carbon composite hydrogel was carried out in various pH conditions with vitamin B12 and Lactobacillus lamnosers as model drugs. The fast and sustainable release of drug was observed in the basic condition due to the pH-sensitive solubility of alginate. The novel drug delivery system having pH-sensitive release property and magnetic movement to target place was developed by using the alginate/activated carbon composite magnetic hydrogels.

해조류로부터 얻어지는 알지네이트는 캡슐화된 세포의 생존율에 긍정적인 영향을 끼치며 살아있는 세포를 신속하게 포접하여 캡슐화할 수 있어 세포이식을 위한 생체재료 분야에 널리 쓰인다. 탈미네랄화된 골분(DBP)은 천연 뼈조직으로부터 유래되어 조직과의 반응정도가 낮고 항원성 또한 낮아 임상에 적용되어 사용되어 왔다. 알지네이트에 비율별 DBP을 포함시켜 연골세포를 파종한 뒤 미세캡슐을 제조한 후 MTT 분석을 통하여 세포의 부착 및 증식률을 관찰하였고 glycosaminoglycan(sGAG)와 콜라겐 함량 측정과 연골세포의 특정유전자 표현형을 확인하기 위하여 PCR을 실시하였다. 또한 연골세포가 파종된 알지네이트 미세캡슐을 누드마우스의 피하에 이식한 뒤 적출하여 면역화학적 염색을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 1%의 DBP를 함유한 알지네이트 미세캡슐에서 가장 높은 세포 증식률을 보였고 표현형 유지에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이번 연구 결과를 토대로 알지네이트와 DBP를 이용한 미세캡슐을 제조함으로써 DBP내의 성장인자와 알지네이트의 상호작용으로 인하여 연골세포의 성장에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 생체공학적 지지체로 적합할 것으로 예상된다.

The aqueous extract of European mistletoe (Viscum album, L.) has been used in cancer therapy. The purified mistletoe lectins, main components of mistletoe, have demonstrated cytotoxic and immune-system-stimulating activities. Korean mistletoe (Viscum album L. coloratum), a subspecies of European mistletoe, has also been reported to possess anticancer and immunological activities. A galactose- and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-specific lectin (Viscum album L. coloratum agglutinin, VCA) with Mr 60 kDa was isolated from Korean mistletoe. Mistletoe preparations have been given subcutaneously due to the low stability of lectin in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of alginate/chitosan microcapsules as a tool for oral delivery of mistletoe lectin. In addition, our strategy has been to develop a system composed of stabilizing cores (granules), which contain mistletoe lectin, extract or powder, coated by a biodegradable polymer wall. Our results indicated that successful incorporation of VCA into alginate/chitosan microcapsules has been achieved and that the alginate/chitosan microcapsule protected the VCA from degradation at acidic pH values. And coating the VCA with polyacrylic polymers, Eudragit, produced outstanding results with ideal release profiles and only minimal losses of cytotoxicity after manufacturing step. The granules prepared with extract or whole plant produced the best results due to the stability in the extract or whole plant during manufacturing process.

The aim of this study was to apply the external ionic gelation using an atomizing spray device comprised of a spray gun to improve the viability of Lactobacillus plantarum DKL 109 and for its commercial use. Three coating material formulas were used to microencapsulate L. plantarum DKL 109: 2% alginate (Al), 1% alginate/1% gellan gum (Al-GG), and 1.5% alginate/3% gum arabic (Al-GA). Particle size of microcapsules was ranged from 18.2 to $23.01{\mu}m$ depending on the coating materials. Al-GA microcapsules showed the highest microencapsulation yield (98.11%) and resulted in a significant increase in survivability of probiotic in a high acid and bile environment. Encapsulation also improved the storage stability of cells. The viability of encapsulated cells remained constant after 1-mon storage at ambient temperature. The external ionic gelation method using an atomizing spray device and the Al-GA seems to be an efficient encapsulation technology for protecting probiotics in terms of scale-up potential and small microcapsule size.

본 실험에서는 레몬 오일을 함유한 알긴산 칼슘 마이크로캡슐을 에멀션-내부 젤화법으로 제조하였으며, 방출실험을 통하여 아로마테라피의 가능성에 대해 살펴보았다. 적외선분광분석(FT-IR)과 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 통해 레몬 오일의 봉입 여부를 확인하였고, 제조된 마이크로캡슐의 직경 및 형태를 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 관찰하였다. 제조된 마이크로캡슐은 평균 $4\~7$um직경 및 $50\~85\%$의 캡슐화를 보였으며, $37^{circ}C$에서 적외선 수분계(IMDB)를 통한 방출실험 결과. 알긴산 및 $CaCl_2$의 농도가 증가할수록 가교밀도가 증가하므로 레몬 오일의 방출률이 감소함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 물리적 압력을 통한 방출실험을 실시함으로써, 캡슐벽의 붕괴와 방출속도가 외부적인 요인에 의해 방출속도를 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
