Orostachys japonicus shows various biological activities. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Here, we investigated the anti-oxidizing effect of the dichloromethane (DCM) and hexane fractions from O. japonicus (OJD and OJH) against oxidative stress in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by LPS. OJD and OJH significantly increased the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Additionally, it was found that the expression of HO-1 was stimulated by Nrf2 activated via degradation of Keap1. ERK and p38 inhibitors repressed HO-1 induced by OJD and OJH in LPS-stimulated cells, respectively. In conclusion, these results suggest that OJD and OJH may block oxidative damage stimulated by LPS, via increasing the expression of HO-1 and Nrf2, and MAPK signaling pathway.

우리나라 서남단의 지리산에는 천연야생에서 자생하는 한방약초의 보고라고 할 수 있다. 현재 약초로 분류되는 식물로는 1200여종이 자생 혹은 재배되고 있다. 최근들어 이들 중 현대인의 피부노화억제와 관련하여 관심을 끌고 있는 약초로 홍화에 관한 연구가 활발히 연구되고 있는데 금번연구에서는 홍화의 주성분인 폴리페놀 화합물(Polyphenol cocktail)이 30 - 40대 중년기의 여성에게 주름생성을 억제시켜 피부노화에 대한 지연효과를 줄 수 있는 천연물질임을 확인하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 1차적으로 in vitro법으로 DPPH assay로 항산화효과를 확인하고 더불어 인체에 대한 임상시험을 통해 얼굴피부의 주름발생에 대한 억제 혹은 개선효과가 있음을 입증하고자 한다. 또한 홍화추출물을 주성분으로 하는 항노화 마스크팩 시제품의 개발로 진일보하여 기능성화장품 산업의 발전에 기여할 것임을 확신한다.

In preparative anti-corrosive coating experiments, polyaniline was obtained by reacting an oxidizing agent with the monomer aniline. Further, the primer coating was prepared using a variety of widely-used materials such as urethane resin. For the top coating, epoxy resin and acrylic urethane resin were used. Characteristics of the coatings were assessed according to KS and ASTM specifications, and the structure of the polyaniline was characterized using FT-IR and TGA. For analysis of anti-corrosive properties in salt-spray experiments, measurements of the oxidation state of iron and surface atomic analysis were conducted using XPS and SEM-EDX. Unlike general anti-corrosive coatings which exhibit anti-corrosive effects only as a primer coating, the anti-corrosive coatings using polyaniline as the anti-corrosive pigment showed a marked synergistic effect with the top coatings. In other words, the top coatings not only produce a fine view effect, but also increase, through interaction with the primer coatings, the resistance to diffusion of corrosive factors from the external environment. It was also found that, unlike the heavy metal oxide-forming layer of the passive barrier alone, the polyaniline anti-corrosive pigment oxidized iron at the interface with the iron substrate to form a passive barrier in the oxidic layer, and itself formed a potential barrier layer with anti-corrosive factors from the external environment. Although the passive layer was damaged, the damaged area did not become completely oxidized iron; on the contrary, it showed a tendency to reduction. This can be interpreted such that a passive layer is formed again on the damaged area, and that at the same time there is a tendency to self-healing.

미강으로부터 정제된 tocotrienol은 DPPH를 기질로 확인한 결과 매우 뛰어난 항산화력을 가지는 것으로 판명되었다. 또한 정상세포와 암세포를 배양하면서 tocotrienol을 처리하고 세포내의 항산화에 가장 큰 역할을 하는 superoxide dismutase와 glutathione peroxidase 활성을 측정한 결과 두 효소 모두 tocotrienol에 의하여 활성이 증가되는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 전체적으로 암세포에서 GPX가 SOD보다 더 민감하게 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an experimental study on the main management factors of the condenser contamination such as fouling and corrosion for the R-134a turbo-chiller to save energy, reduce corrosion rates, and reduce maintenance costs through the application of condenser non-cleaning water treatment chemical. The series of experiment is conducted using combining oxidative microbial sterilizers, non-oxidizing microbial sterilizers, and anti-corrosion agents. The leaving temperature difference and corrosion rates for three different combination of chemicals are collected and analyzed. The experimental results show that the cost reduction (4,066,000 Won/year) of the disinfectant (FT-830) can be achieved by adding the oxidative disinfectant (NaOCl) and the non-oxidizing disinfectant (NX-1116). The LTD value is maintained at 1.9℃, and the corrosion rates of copper and carbon steel specimens are 0.07 mpy and 1.61 mpy, respectively.

In this study, isolation of antioxidative compounds was performed for development of anti-oxidizing agent. $CHCl_3$, $H_2O$, 30%, 60% MeOH, MeOH fractions were examined antioxidative activity by DPPH, test of inhibition on NO production. It was revealed that 30%, 60% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ fractions had significant antioxidative activity. In 30% MeOH and 60% MeOH, $CHCl_3$ fraction, six compounds were isolated and elucidated as adenosine(I), guanosine(II), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-apiofuranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-glucopyranoside(III), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(IV), peucedanol(V) and scopoletin(VI) by physicochemical data and spectroscopic methods. (Negative FAB-MS, $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$). The results from antioxidative activity screening for the each compound showed that compound IV was relatively superior antioxidant ability. In anti-inflammatory activation assay, compound III, IV, VI had concentration-dependent-activity and compound IV had superior anti-inflammatory ability. These results suggest that Peucedani Radix might be developed as a potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory agents and ingredients for related functional foods.

으름열매는 폴리페놀과 사포닌과 같은 페놀성 물질을 많이 함유하고 있다. 본 연구는 세포실험을 통해 으름열매 추출물의 항산화활성을 확인하고, 피부에 적용하였을 때 수분과 유분, 멜라닌과 홍반변화의 효과를 측정하였다. 항산화 효과 측정결과, 농도 의존적으로 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드, DPPH소거능이 상승한 것으로 확인되었고, 으름열매 추출물 크림을 사용하였을 때 수분함량 변화, 유분함량 변화, 멜라닌지수, 홍반지수의 감소가 통계적으로 유의미한 변화를 보여 으름열매 추출물 함유 화장품이 피부개선을 위한 기능성화장품으로서 활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 으름열매 추출물은 독성을 나타내지 않으면서도 피부보습, 피부개선효과를 가진 천연 및 기능성화장품 소재로서 활용 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

차체의 산화를 방지하기 위하여 희생적 양극을 사용한 산화방지 장치를 개발하였다. 희생적 양극은 철보다 산화 전위가 높은 Mg, Al, Zn으로 만들어 졌고 이것은 차체의 철이나 철합금보다 먼저 산화되어 차체의 부식을 방지한다. 차체 산화방지 장치를 제작하여 철시편을 염산, 질산 및 황산에 대한 방식효과를 시간에 따라 측정하였고 SEM과 XPS를 이용하여 철시편 표면의 방식효과를 분석하였다. 철시편을 산화 방지 장치에 연결하면 산화되어 산성용액 속으로 녹아 들어가는 철의 양이 현저하게 감소하고 철시편 표면의 산화가 방지되며 산화된 철은 $Fe_2O_3$의 산화형태를 가짐을 확인하였다. 따라서 차체 산화방지를 차체에 직접 부착한다면 차체의 부식 및 산화를 효과적으로 방지할 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, measurement of thermal conductivity of multilayer thin dielectric film has been conducted via differential 3$\omega$ method. Also, verification of differential 3$\omega$ method has been accomplished with various proposed criteria. The target film for measurement is 300 nm silicon dioxide and this thin film is covered with various thicknesses of upper protective layer. The upper protective layer is inserted between the target film and the heater line for purpose of electrical insulator or anti-oxidation barrier since the target film may be a good electrical conductor or a well-oxidizing material. However, the verification of differential 3$\omega$ method has not been conducted. Thus we have shown that the measurement of thermal conductivity of thin films with upper protective layer via differential 3$\omega$ method is verified to be reliable as long as the proposed preconditions are satisfied. Experimental results show that the experimental errors tend to increase with aspect ratio between upper protective layer thickness and width of the heater line due to heat spreading effect.

Cetrizine dihydrochloride (CTZH) is widely used as an anti-allergic drug. Sodium N-bromo-p-toluenesulfonamide or bromamine-T (BAT) is the bromine analogue of chloramine-T (CAT) and is found to be a better oxidizing agent than CAT. In the present research, the kinetics of oxidation of CTZH with BAT in acid and alkaline media was studied at 313 K. The experimental rate laws obtained are: -d[BAT]/dt=$k[BAT][CTZH]^{0.80}[H^+]^{-0.48}$ in acid medium and -d[BAT]/dt=$k[BAT][CTZH]^{0.48}[OH^-]^{0.52}[PTS]^{-0.40}$ in alkaline medium where PTS is p-toluenesulfonamide. Activation parameters and reaction constants were evaluated. The solvent isotope effect was studied using $D_2O$. The dielectric effect is positive. The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1:1 and the oxidation products were identified as 4-chlorobenzophenone and (2-piperazin-1-yl-ethoxy)-acetic acid in both media. The rate of oxidation of CTZH is faster in acid medium. Suitable mechanisms and related rate laws have been worked out.
