무화과는 잎, 뿌리, 줄기, 라텍스 외에 열매 자체에서도 각각 항산화, 미백, 항염증, 항균 효능이 보고된다. 본 연구팀에서는 천연물 기반 화장품 소재 개발을 위해 무화과 열매 l atex에 존재하는 ficin 효소의 피부 활성 뿐만 아니라 열매를 70% 에탄올로 추출한 추출물의 미백 기능에 대해 연구 결과를 도출하여 화장품 원료로 직접 사용하고있다. 그러나 새로운 공융용매 추출법 개발 수요와 이를 활용한 피부 염증 완화 및 건선 조절기능에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공융용매 추출법을 적용한 무화과 열매 추출 및 분획물들에 피부 염증 조절 및 건선에 대한 유효성 평가를 수행하였다. 먼저, 무화과 열매를 최적의 공융용매 조건으로 추출한 후 n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate. butanol로 분획한 분획물의 피부염증 조절 기능을 비교하였다. 먼저, 분획물의 항산화 활성과 RAW264.7 세포주에서 nitric oxide 생성 억제를 확인하였다. 또한 RT-PCR을 이용해 전염증성 사이토카인 mRNA 발현 조절을 관찰한 결과, 여러 분획물 중 hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate와 같은 비극성 용매에서 TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β 등 염증성 사이토카인 mRNA 발현이 억제되었다. 뿐만 아니라 HaCaT 각질형성세포 모델에서 TNF-α 로 염증반응을 유도한 후 분획물의 항염증 활성을 비교한 결과 hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate 분획에서 높은 활성을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 in vitro 인간 건선 세포모델에서 chemokine CC motif ligand 20(CCL20) 발현을 확인한 결과 유의성 있게 mRNA 발현 이 억제되었다. 따라서, 공융용매 추출 후 무화과 열매 분획물 중 hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate 분획에서 높은 항염증 활성 및 CCL20 케모카인 조절 기능이 확인되었다. 이런 결과들은 무화과 열매 추출물의 항염증 활성과 함께 인체적용시험을 통해 피부진정 효과가 검증된다면 향후 뛰어난 피부 진정 천연 화장품 소재로 개발될 가능성이 높다고 사료된다.

비정질 Na-규산염과 Na-알루미노규산염 내의 Na 이온의 원자 환경을 규명하는 것은 Na을 포함하는 지구 내부 마그마의 물성을 규명하는 데 중요하다. 특히 Na 원자 환경의 규명을 통해 이동 물성에 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 Na과 산소와의 거리를 밝힐 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $^{23}Na$ magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR을 이용하여 비정질 Na 규산염과 알루미노규산염의 Na 주변 원자 환경을 규명하고자 하였고 Dmfit 프로그램을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 ${\delta}_{iso}$ 값을 구했다. Dmfit 프로그램에서 제공하는 여러 모델 중 Q mas 1/2 모델과 CzSimple 모델을 사용하여 비정질 Na-알루미노규산염의 $^{23}Na$ MAS NMR 스펙트럼에 대해 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과 Q mas 1/2 모델은 세 개의 피크로 CzSimple 모델은 하나의 피크로 실험값이 재현되는 것을 확인하였다. 조성에 따른 등방성 화학적 차폐(isotropic chemical shift, ${\delta}_{iso}$)의 변화를 관찰한 결과 비정질 Na-규산염과 Na-알루미노규산염에서 $SiO_2$의 함량이 증가할수록 ${\delta}_{iso}$ 값이 감소하는 경향성을 보였고 $SiO_2$ 함량이 고정되어 있는 조성에서는 $Na_2O$의 함량이 높을수록 높은 ${\delta}_{iso}$ 값을 보였다. 이전 연구에서 실험적으로 얻어진 값들과 본 연구에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻은 값을 비교해본 결과 ${\delta}_{iso}$ 값은 Al / (Al + Si) 값과 양의 상관관계를 보이는 것이 확인되었고 CzSimple 모델에 비해 Q mas 1/2 모델을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 한 값이 실험값을 더 잘 재현하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 1D $^{23}Na$ MAS NMR 스펙트럼의 시뮬레이션을 통해 빠른 시간 내 Na 주변의 무질서도를 밝힐 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

The dual drug-loaded alginate beads simultaneously containing drug in inner and outer layers were prepared by dropping plain (single-layered) alginate beads into $CaCl_2$ solution. The release characteristics were evaluated in simulated gastric fluid for 2 h followed by intestinal fluids thereafter for 12 h. The surface morphology and cross section of dual drug-loaded alginate beads was also investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The poorlv water-soluble ibuprofen was chosen as a model drug. The surface of single-layered and dual drug-loaded alginate beads showed very crude and roughness, showing aggregated particles, surface cracks and rough crystals. The thickness of dual drug-loaded alginate beads surrounded by outer layer was ranged from about 57 to 329mcm. The distinct chasm between inner and outer layers was also observed. In case of single-layered alginate bead, the drug was not released in gastric fluid but was largely released in intestinal fluid. However, the release rate decreased as the reinforcing $Eudragit^{\circledR}$ polymer contents increased. When the plasticizers were added into polymer, the release rate largely decreased. The release rate of dual drug-loaded alginate beads was stable in gastric fluid for 2 h but largely increased when switched in intestinal fluid. The drug linearly released for 4 h followed by another linear release thereafter, showing a distinct biphasic release characteristics. There was a difference in the release profiles between single-layered and dual drug-loaded alginate beads due to their structural shape. However, this biphasic release profiles were modified by varying formulation compositions of inner and outer layer of alginate beads. The release rate of dual drug-loaded alginate beads slightly decreased when the outer layer was reinforced with $Eudragit^{\circledR}$ RS1OO polymers. In case of dual drug-loaded alginate beads with polymer-reinforced outer layer only, the initial amount of druc released was low but the initial release rate (slope) was higher due to more swellable inner cores when compared to polymer-reinforced inner cores. The current dual drug-loaded alginate beads may be used to deliver the drugs in a time dependent manner.

우리나라 인근 해역에서 가장 쉽게 채취할 수 있는 해조류 중의하나인 S. confusum을 이용한 Pb 및 Cr의 생체홉착 실험을 수행하였다. 두 중금속 모두 흡착 평형에는 15분 안에 도달하였으며, 평형 흡착량은 각각 197.5mg Pb/g biomass 및 133.1mg Cr/g biomass이었다. Pb 및 Cr의 생물학적 흡착은 Langmuir모델에 더 잘 적용되었다. Pb 흡착시에 Ca가 500mg/L 존재하여도 $20\%$ 정도 흡착량이 감소하였고, Mg는 Pb 흡착에 전혀 영향을 미치지 않았다. Pb 및 Cr 흡착 후에 0.1 M HCI, 0.1 M $HNO_3$, 및 0.1 M EDTA를 이용하여 탈착시 Pb의 탈착율은 $93\%$ 이상이었으나, Cr의 탈착율은 $30\%$ 이하였다. Pb 흡착 후에 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M $HNO_3$, 0.1 M EDTA 및 0.1 M NaOH를 이용하여 탈착실험을 수행하고 다시 재흡착을 시키는 과정을 6회 반복한 결과 최대 누적 흡착량은 761.4mg/g biomass였고, HCl 및 $HNO_3$를 이용한 경우에 Pb의 탈착 및 S. confusum의 재생에 있어 매우 효과적이었다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the $PM_{2.5}$ source profiles for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles, which contained mass abundances in terms of mass fraction of $PM_{2.5}$ of chemical species. Seven diesel-powered vehicles and nine gasoline-powered vehicles were sampled from a chassis dynamometer exhaust dilution system. The species measured were water-soluble ions, elements, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC). From this study, the large abundances of EC (54.5%), OC (26.0%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (1.5%), ${NO_3}^-$ (0.8%), and S (0.6%) were observed from the diesel-powered vehicle exhaust showing that carbons were dominant species. The gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust emitted large abundances of OC (38.3%), EC (4.2%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (3.6%), ${NH_4}^+$ (3.5%), and ${NO_3}^-$ (3.0%). The abundances of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${NO_3}^-$ from gasoline vehicle were greater than those of diesel vehicle. The emissions of P, S, Ca, Fe, and Zn among trace elements for the gasoline vehicle were greater than 1% of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass unlike those for the diesel vehicle. Particularly, the fraction of Zn was five times higher from the gasoline vehicle than that from the diesel vehicle. The source profiles developed in this work were intensively examined by applying chemical mass balance model.

Petrochemical analyses of granitic rocks including trace element, REE and oxygen isotope were carried out to understand petrogenesis of plutonic rocks from the Chungju, Wolaksan and Jecheon granite batholiths, which might be related with tungsten-base metal-fluorite mineralization in the Hwanggangri metallogenic province. Different geochemical characteristics such as major and trace elements were found between Jurassic Daebo granitic rocks (Chungju, Jecheon, Wonju, and Boeun granitic rocks) and Cretaceous Bulgugsa granitic rocks (Wolaksan, Muamsa and Sokrisan granitic rocks). Cretaceous granitoids are characterized by high $SiO_2$and $K_2O$ contents and low $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, MgO and CaO contents. They also have relatively high contents of trace elements(Zn, V, Co, Cr, Sr, and Ba) in comparison with the Jurassic granitoids. (Eu)/($Eu^*$) and $(La/Lu)_{CN}$ ratios of Jurassic plutons vary from 0.78 to 1.13 and from 26.02 to 30.5, respectively, while the ratios of Cretaceous ones range from 0.22 to 0.28 and from 4.42 to 14.2, respectively. The REE patterns of the Cretaceous and Jurassic granitic rocks have quite different Eu anomalies: large negative Eu anomaly in the former, and mild or absent Eu anomaly in the latter. The large Eu negative of Cretaceous granitic rocks are interpreted as a differentiated product of fractional crystallization of granitic magma deduced by Rayleigh fractionation model(Tsusue et al., 1987). Oxygen isotopic compositions of quartz for Daebo and Bulgugsa granitic rocks range from 9.98 to 10.51‰ and from 8.26 to 9.56‰, respectively. The Daebo granitic rocks enriched in $^{18}0$ suggest that the magma be undergone different partial melting processes from the Bulgugsa ones. Of the Bulgugsa granitoids, Wolaksan and Sokrisan mass have different contents of trace elements and ${\delta}\;^{18}0$ values of the silicate minerals, which indicate that they are not from the identical source of magma. Many mineral deposits are distributed in and/or near the Wolaksan and Muamsa granitic rocks, but a few mineral deposits are found in and near the Chungju and Jecheon granite batholiths. It might be depend on geochemisty of the related igneous rocks which have low contents of Ba, Sr, Co, V, Cr, Ni, Zn and high contents of Nb and Y, and on lithology of country rocks such as cabonate and noncarbonate rocks.

The purpose of this study was to understand $PM_{2.5}$ chemical characteristics on the Suwon/Yongin area and further to quantitatively estimate $PM_{2.5}$ source contributions. The $PM_{2.5}$ sampling was carried out by a high-volume air sampler at the Kyung Hee University-Global Campus from November, 2010 to October, 2011. The 40 chemical species were then analyzed by using ICP-AES(Ag, Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Si, Ti, V and Zn), IC ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $NH_4{^+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $NO_3{^-}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ and $Cl^-$), DRI/OGC (OC1, OC2, OC3, OC4, OP, EC1, EC2 and EC3) and GC-FID (acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[a] pyrene, indeno[1,2,3-cd] pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and dibenzo[a,h,]anthracene). When applying PMF model after performing proper data treatment, a total of 10 sources was identified and their contributions were quantitatively estimated. The average contribution to $PM_{2.5}$ emitted from each source was determined as follows; 26.3% from secondary aerosol source, 15.5% from soil and road dust emission, 15.3% from vehicle emission, 15.3% from illegal biomass burning, 12.2% from incineration, 7.2% from oil combustion source, 4.9% from industrial related source, and finally 3.2% from coal combustion source. In this study we used the ratios of PAHs concentration as markers to double check whether the sources were reasonably classified or not. Finally we provided basic information on the major $PM_{2.5}$ sources in order to improve the air quality in the study area.

The increased number of elderly in Korea presents great challenges for community nutrition programs. Strategies to enhance elderly nutrition are needed, as well as dietary advice that are reality-based and tailored to the need of the elderly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the overall effectiveness of an elderly nutrition improvement program(ENIP), by assessing changes in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behavior after program completion. ENIP was conducted in Suwon for 4 months in 1998 at 5 centers for the elderly. The program provided individual nutrition counseling and brief biweekly group education sessions. To stimulate participation and motivation, the elderly in two centers were served free milk packs(200ml) three time a week during the program(milk＋education group), and the elderly in 3 other centers were served yoghurt on the program day(education group). Altogether, 102 subjects finished the program(milk＋education group 67 ; education group 35). Data about nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes, diet records(24 hour recall) and dietary habit was collected before(baseline) and after the program(follow-up). The Drop-out rate for the milk＋education group(2.9%) was significantly lower than that for the education group(30.0%)(p<.001). The Nutrition Knowledge fo females milk＋education group increased significantly after the program, but no significant differences were observed in other groups. Over 60% of all the elderly showed positive responses to the healthy eating attitudes. Energy, protein, vitamin A, riboflavin, Calcium and Potassium intakes improved in the male milk＋education group. The Vitamin C intake improved in the male education group. Energy and vitamin A intakes improved in the female milk＋education group and energy, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, Ca nad P in the female education group. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effects of food intake changes on overall nutrient quality. For all elderly, the fish intake explained 12.6% of the variance, followed by candy intake and vegetable intake(model $R^2$=19.6%). Dietary habits such as meal time regularity and salty food reduction were markedly improved in both groups. Sixty-one percent of the milk＋education subjects stated their participation was voluntary and active, while 51% of education subjects did. Sixty four percent of the subjects stated their interest on diet increased remarkably through program participation. Considering the results, it is conjectured that ENIP had a great impact on nutrient intake, dietary attitudes and habits. Milk supplement showed no direct effects on elderly nutrition improvement, but it encouraged the program by reducing drop-out rates and inducing voluntary participation. Therefore milk supplement could enhance the community nutrition education program. Moreover it is strongly suggested that the ENIP be expanded to other communities.

Two digestion trials, one with sheep and another with goats, were conducted to evaluate the long-term bias (LTB) of the indigestible dry matter (iDM), indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) and indigestible acid detergent fiber (iADF) internal markers. The study used eight Santa In$\hat{e}$s castrated male sheep (average body weight of 16.6 kg) distributed in two $4{\times}4$ Latin squares and eight Saanen castrated male goats (average body weight of 22.6 kg) distributed in two $4{\times}4$ Latin squares. The experiments were conducted simultaneously, and the animals were housed in 1.2 $m^2$ individual pens with wood-battened floors equipped with individual feeders and drinkers. The animals received isonitrogenous diets that were offered ad libitum and contained 14% crude protein and 70% sugar cane (with 0, 0.75, 1.5 or 2.25% CaO, in natural matter percentage), corrected with 1% urea and 30% concentrate. The experiment consisted of four experimental periods of 14 d each, with the feed, leftovers and feces sampled on the last four days of each period. The marker concentrations in the feed, leftovers and fecal samples were estimated by an in situ ruminal incubation procedure with a duration 240 h. The relationship between the intake and excretion of the markers was obtained by adjusting a simple linear regression model, independently from the treatment (diets) fixed effects and Latin squares. For both the sheep and goats, a complete recovery of the iDM and iNDF markers was observed (p>0.05), indicating the absence of LTB for these markers. However, the iADF was not completely recovered, exhibiting an LTB of -9.12% (p<0.05) in the sheep evaluation and -3.02% (p<0.05) in the goat evaluation.
