Treatment towards wound healing, a complex and dynamic process, has been given a great deal of efforts in the last few decades. Focus has been imposed on developing wound dressings that meet the requirements for proper wound healing. In this study, hydrogel made from blends of poly (vinyl alcohol) and ${\beta}$-1,6-branched-${\beta}$-1,3-glucan (beta-glucan) were synthesized by modified solvent casting method for wound dressing application. Optimization of hydrogel composition and analysis of wound dressing parameters such as stability and fluid uptake capacity (in the presence of water, saline and different pH solutions) has been studied. The result indicated that the PVA/beta-glucan hydrogel hold its structural integrity even at alkaline pH (pH~9) and upholds fluids four times of its original weight. Thus, the developed hydrogel is expected to be a promising candidate as wound dressing.

Solvent extraction using a Schiff-base, salen$(NEt_2)_2$, as a chelating agent has been conducted on several water samples to study the determination of trace Cu(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II). Experimental conditions for the formation and extraction of metal complexes were optimized with an aqueous solution similar in composition to the samples. The matrix difference between the sample and standard solutions was approximately matched, and the pH of each sample solution was adjusted to 9.5 with $NaHCO_3/NaOH$ buffer. The concentration of salen$(NEt_2)_2$ was $7.3\;{\times}\;10^{-3}$ mol/L, and the complexes were extracted into MIBK solvent followed by the measurement of AAS absorbance. The potential interference of concomitant ions was investigated, but no interference from alkaline and alkali earth ions was shown in this procedure. The given procedure is precise, as judged from the relative standard deviation of less than 5% for five measured data. The recovery of 93-103% shows that this method is quantitative for such trace metal analysis.

We present the geminate rebinding kinetics measurements of CO to 2-methylimidazole (2-MeIm) bound ferrous protoporphyrin- IX (FePPIX) in alkaline glycerol/water mixtures at 293 K after photolysis. The kinetics was probed by monitoring the CO stretching mode using femtosecond vibrational spectroscopy. When 2-MeIm is used in excess, heme dimers that typically form in low viscosity solutions disappear as the viscosity of the solvent increases. Heme aggregates formed in low viscosity solutions turn monomeric as more 2-MeIm is added, suggesting that 6-coordinated heme, including a strong proximal histidine tends to be in the monomeric form. The vibrational band of CO in the 2-MeIM-FePPIX-CO is well described by a single Gaussian function centered at 1958 $cm^-1$ and 28 $cm^-1$ full width at half maximum. The efficiency and rate of the geminate rebinding of CO to the heme increase with viscosity of the solvent, suggesting that retention of the dissociated CO near the heme, for a longer period by the viscous solvent media, accelerates rebinding.

식품내의 비타민 E를 분석하는 방법은 여러 가지 방법이 있으나 최근에는 비타민 E의 8가지 동족체를 모두 분석할 수 있는 HPLC 방법 이 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 비타민 E를 분석함에 있어 가장 중요한 과정은 식품으로부터 비타민 E를 추출하는 과정이며 검화방법, 직접용매추출법, Soxhlet 추출법 등이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 곡류 14종을 대상으로 세 가지 추출방법을 비교하였으며 직접용매추출법과 Soxhlet 추출법을 이용하였을 경우 검화방법보다 높은 분석치를 얻을 수 있었다. 곡류에서의 비타민 E의 함량을 측정한 결과를 a-TE로 나타내었으며 흑미에서 5.12 a-TE/100g으로 가장 높았고 기장에서 0.32 a-TE/100 g으로 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었다.

In the past, PVAc [poly(vinyl acetate)] was used as a fixative for the conservation of the murals in the murals of the Payathonzu temple located in Bagan, Myanmar. In this study, attention was paid to gel cleaning as a method for stably removing such PVAc fixatives. Based on the recent research trend related to the cleaning of murals in Bagan ruins, 3 types of gelling agents (Nevek^®, Laponite^®RD, Carbopol^®980) and 2 types of organic solvents (Acetone, Dimethyl carbonate) were selected. Six types of gel cleaners were prepared by mixing gelling agents and organic solvents, and the properties and fixative removability of these cleaners were compared. As a result of confirming the properties of the prepared gel cleaners, the pH of the cleaners was all in the weak acidic to weakly alkaline range, which was a stable condition for mural application. Also, there was no difference in the viscosity of the cleaners depending on the type of solvent, but there was a difference depending on the type of gelling agent used. Regarding the weight loss ratio of PVAc, which is an indicator of removability, the exposure conditions of the gel cleaners, the boiling point of the solvent used, and the viscosity of the gelling agent acted as factors affecting. As a result of comparing the removability of gel cleaners, it was confirmed that the solvent's fixative solubility, the volatility of the solvent itself, and the solvent release control properties of the gelling agent had a great effect on the removability of the gel cleaners. In Part 2, the stability and the running applicability of the gel cleaners will be investigated by making mockup samples reflecting the properties of the materials and techniques used to produce the mural paintings in the Payathonzu Temple.

본 연구는 금화규의 화장품 소재로 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 금화규 동결건조추출물 용액의 점도가 첨가농도에 따라 모두 증가하였으며, 염기성 수성용매로 추출한 WF에서 높은 점성이 확인되었다. 금화규 10%의 실험군 emulsion과 동결건조 달팽이 점액 10%의 대조군 emulsion을 제작하여 점도 비교 결과 WF 실험군의 증가율이 12만 9200 cPs로 가장 높았다. 피부 탄력과 수분측정 실험 결과 금화규 추출물이 달팽이 점액보다 높았다. 본 연구를 통하여 금화규 동결건조추출물이 피부의 탄력, 수분 효과가 있는 것으로 확인하였으며, 금화규가 지닌 천연적 특성을 고려한 추출법이 화장품 원료로서의 높은 가능성을 확인하였다.

Techniques for immobilizing effective enzymes on nanoparticles for stabilization of the activity of free enzymes have been developing as a pharmaceutical field. In this study, we examined the effect of three different pH conditions of phosphate buffer, as a dissolving solvent for lysosomal enzymes, on the direct immobilization of lysosomal enzymes extracted from Hen's egg white and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Titanium(IV) oxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles, which are extensively used in many research fields, were used in this study. The lysosomal enzymes immobilized on TiO₂ under each pH condition were evaluated to maintain the specific activity of lysosomal enzymes, so that we can determine the degree of melanin treatment in lysosomal enzymes immobilized on TiO₂. We found that the immobilization efficiency and melanin treatment activity in both lysosomal enzymes extracted from Hen's egg white and S. cerevisiae were the highest in an acidic condition of phosphate buffer (pH 4). However, the immobilization efficiency and melanin treatment activity were inversely proportional to the increase in pH under alkaline conditions. In addition, enhanced immobilization efficiency was shown in TiO₂ pretreated with a divalent, positively charged ion, Ca²⁺, and the melanin treatment activity of immobilized lysosomal enzymes on TiO₂ pretreated with Ca²⁺ was also increased. Therefore, this result suggests that the immobilization efficiency and melanin treatment activity of lysosomal enzymes can be enhanced according to the pH conditions of the dissolving solvent.

4-도데카노일옥시벤젠술폰산나트륨(sodium dodecanoyl-4-oxybenzenesulfonate; DOBS) 염은 저온에서도 효과적인 표백력과 살균력을 나타내는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 물(W)-극성 비양자성 용매 계를 사용하는 알칼리 조건하에서 dodecanoyl chloride와 sodium 4-hydroxybenzene sulfonate로부터 DOBS의 온화하고 효율적인 합성방법을 조사하였다. 먼저 물만을 용매로 사용하고 온도 또는 시간을 변화시키며 반응한 결과, 수율은 30 ℃와 1 h 이상의 반응 조건에서 대부분 약 5% 정도로 낮게 나타났다. 효율적인 용매 계를 발견하기 위하여 극성 비양자성 용매의 종류를 변화시키며 물과 혼합하여 제조한 다양한 용매계에서 수율에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 수율은 아세톤(acetone; AC)과 물을 혼합한 용매 계에서 가장 우수하였으며, 온화한 반응조건(30 ℃, 1 h 및 상압)의 반응에서 약 82%의 높은 값을 나타냈다. 제조한 DOBS는 높은 표백력 및 살균력을 보여 표백활성화제로서 활용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The bacteria of red colonies isolated from soil were identified as Serratia marcescens. The best solvent for pigment extraction was n-buthanol and the pigment was identified as prodigiosene. The extracted pigment was stable on temperature and light but not on acidity. The redpigment color changed into red in alkaline solution. The maximum absorbancy of pigment was 466 nm in alkaline condition and 540 nm in acid condition. And the pigment formed single spot on the TLC(starch). By the result of infra red spectrum, the red pigment has the same absorption pattern comparing with, the prodigisin produced by S. marcescens strain Nima. It was confirmed that the pigment was secondary metabolite and that the maximal peak of production appeared at 30 hrs after the inoculation, when the bacterial growth was in statinary state. Referring to the effect of temperature, the pigment was not formed at $36^{\circ}C$ and the optimal temperature for both of bactrial growth and pigmentation was $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal range of pH for pigmentation was 5.0 and under the condition the bacterial growth was not affected at all. Examining the effects of light, the bacterial pigment ation was more increased in darkness than in visible light.
