The corrosion of pure titanium (CP- Ti Grade 2) and titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) were studied under various conditions of simulated body fluids. The static immersion test and the electrochemical test were performed in accordance with ISO 10271 : 2001. For the electrochemical test, the open circuit potential was monitored as a function of time, and the cyclic polarization curve was recorded. The corrosion resistance was evaluated from the values of corrosion potential, passivation current density, breakdown potential, and the shape of hysteresis etc. The effects of alloy type, surface condition, temperature, oxygen, and constituents in the fluids such as acid, chloride were estimated. Both specimens had extremely low dissolution rate in the static immersion test. They showed strong passivation characteristics in the electrochemical test. They maintained negligible current density throughout the wide anodic potential range. The passive layer was not broken up to 2.0 V (vs. SCE). The hysteresis and the shift of passivation potential toward the anodic direction was observed during the reversed scan. The passivation process appeared to be accelerated by oxygen in air or that dissolved in the fluids. The passivation also proceeded without oxygen by the reaction of constituents in the fluids. Acid or chloride in the fluids, specially later weakened the passive layer, and then induced higher passivation current density and less shift of passivation potential in the reversed scan. CP-Ti Grade 2 was more reactive than Ti6Al4V ELI in the fluids containing acid or chloride, but thicker layer produced on its surface provided higher corrosion resistance.

CP 처리의 CBPE 필름의 물리화학적 특성 및 생분해 특성에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. CP 처리는 CBPE 필름의 인장 강도, 신장률, 그리고 광투과도와 같은 물리적 특성에는 영향을 주지 않았으나, air-CP 처리는 CBPE 필름의 유연성, 수분 방벽 특성, 그리고 인쇄적성을 향상시켰다. Air-CP 처리는 저장 중 CBPE 필름 표면의 조도와 O와 N 원소를 포함한 작용기의 양을 증가시켰고, 인쇄적성, 열분해성, 그리고 미생물 분해성을 향상시켰다. 본 연구에서 CP 처리 후 CBPE 필름 표면에서 보여지는 노화 현상을 XPS 결과를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 CP 처리가 CBPE 필름을 비롯하여 다른 생분해성 식품 포장재의 물리적 특성과 생분해성을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술로서 적용될 수 있다는 가능성을 보여주었다.

Objectives: Capsaicin-containing (CP) pharmacopuncture was developed to treat neuropathic pain. This study was conducted to assess the toxicity of CP extract for pharmacopuncture, using a micronucleus test. Methods: First, a dose range finding study was conducted. Then an in vivo micronucleus test was performed to determine the induction of micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells after intramuscular administration of CP twice with a 24-hour interval to 8-week-old ICR mice. A high dose of 0.2 mL/animal was selected, and this was sequentially diluted by applying a geometric ratio of 2 to produce two lower dose levels (0.1 and 0.05 mL/animal). In addition, negative and positive control groups were set up, and an HPLC analysis was conducted to confirm the capsaicin content of CP. Results: The incidence of micro-nucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in polychromatic erythrocytes in the CP-treated group was similar to that in the negative-control group, while that in the positive-control group was significantly greater. In addition, the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to total erythrocytes in the CP treatment group and the positive control group was not significantly different from the negative control group. In the HPLC analysis, capsaicin in the CP was identified through a comparison with the retention time of the capsaicin standard of 27 min. Conclusion: CP did not show any indication of any potential to induce micronuclei formation in bone marrow cells of ICR mice under the conditions of this study. Further toxicity studies are necessary to ensure the safety of the use of CP in clinical practice.

가축에서 항생제의 남용은 항생제 내성균의 발생을 유도하므로 가축과 사람의 건강을 위협할 수 있다. 이에 따라 항생제를 대체할 수 있는 물질 중 하나로 항균펩타이드(antimicrobial peptides)가 연구되고 있다. 항균펩타이드는 12-50개의 아미노산으로 구성된 펩타이드로 숙주에 감염된 다양한 박테리아를 사멸시키고 면역작용을 조절하는 등 선천성 면역에 중요한 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 닭과 돼지의 NK-2를 조합하여 cpNK라는 chimeric 펩타이드를 합성하였으며 이것의 항균효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, cpNK는 그람음성균인 E. coli와 Salmonella spp. 그리고 그람 양성균인 L. monocytogenes과 S. aureus를 사멸시켰으며, cpNK는 그람음성균에서 더 강력한 살균효과를 보였다. 특히, cpNK는 메티실린 내성 황색포도상구균 (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA)에 대해서도 항균효과를 보여주었다. 또한, 27aa인 cpNK의 크기를 줄인 21aa의 cpNK-a1과 13aa의 cpNK-a2를 합성하여 마찬가지로 항균효과를 측정한 결과, cpNK보다는 약한 항균효과를 보였지만 여러 병원균의 생존율을 감소시켰다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 우수한 항균효과를 갖는 cpNK와 cpNK로부터 유도된 펩타이드들을 항생제 대체제로 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objective : This study is conducted to evaluate the efficiency of ethanol extracts of 4 mixed herbs(CP001 or CP002) on mouse model of atopic dermatitis induced by ovalbumin. Methods : Female BALB/c mice were internally sensitized with ovalbumin($20{\mu}g$) plus aluminum hydroxide hydrate(4mg) once per week. After 3 weeks, they were dermally challenged with patches containing ovalbumin ($100{\mu}g$) plus aluminum hydroxide hydrate(20mg) every other day for 3 weeks. After induction of atopic dermatitis, mice back skin were gently rubbed with CP001 or CP002(200mg/$m{\ell}$, $100{\mu}{\ell}$) for two weeks(every 2 days). Results : In CP001 or CP002 treated group, there was a remarkable reduction in infiltration of eosinophils on the skin areas and diminution of mast cells and total T cells in blood samples as compared with control group. Cutaneous expressions of interleukin-13, 17 were also decreased by CP001 or CP002. Moreover, blood immunoglobulin E level was decreased by drug administration while there was no decrease in OVA sensitization group. Conclusion : In summary, our result shows that herbal extracts(CP001 and CP002) could be potential candidates for the treatment of chronic atopic dermatitis.

Increased oxidative stress in obese diabetes may have causal effects on diabetic complications, including dyslipidemia. Lipopolysccharides (LPS) along with an atherogenic diet have been found to increase oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Cranberry has been recognized as having beneficial effects on diseases related to oxidative stress. Therefore, we employed obese diabetic animals treated with an atherogenic diet and LPS, with the aim of examining the effects of cranberry powder (CP) on diabetic related metabolic conditions, including lipid profiles, serum insulin and glucose, and biomarkers of oxidative stress. Forty C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice were divided into the following five groups: normal diet + saline, atherogenic diet + saline, atherogenic diet + LPS, atherogenic diet + 5% CP + LPS, and atherogenic diet + 10% CP + LPS. Consumption of an atherogenic diet resulted in elevation of serum total cholesterol and atherogenic index (AI) and reduction of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. However, with 10% CP, the increase in mean HDL-cholesterol level was close to that of the group with a normal diet, whereas AI was maintained at a higher level than that of the group with a normal diet. LPS induced elevated serum insulin level was lowered by greater than 60% with CP (P < 0.05), and mean serum glucose level was reduced by approximately 19% with 5% CP (P > 0.05). Mean activity of liver cytosolic glutathione peroxidase was significantly increased by LPS injection, however it was reduced back to the value without LPS when the diet was fortified with 10% CP (P < 0.05). In groups with CP, a reduction in mean levels of serum protein carbonyl tended to occur in a dose dependent manner. Particularly with 10% CP, a reduction of approximately 89% was observed (P > 0.05). Overall results suggest that fortification of the atherogenic diet with CP may have potential health benefits for obese diabetes with high oxidative stress, by modulation of physical conditions, including some biomarkers of oxidative stress.

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of xylose treatment on rumen degradability characteristics of DM, OM and CP and in vivo digestibility of DM, OM, CP and crude fiber (CF) of soybean meal (SBM) and cottonseed meal (CSM). In Trial 1, three ruminally cannulated Merino rams were used. Xylose treatments at both levels, 0.5 and 1%, decreased effective degradability of DM, OM and CP of SBM, whereas 0.5 and 1% xylose treatment of CSM did not show any effect on effective degradability of DM, OM and CP. By contrast, maximum potential degradabilities of DM, OM and CP of CSM seemed to be increased by 1% xylose treatment. It was concluded that xylose treatment was effective in protecting SBM proteins from degradation in the rumen, but the same treatment was not so effective for CSM protein. In trial 2, three Merino rams were used. With treatments, DM, OM, CP and CF digestibilities of SBM and CSM were not changed. Crude fiber digestibility was numerically increased by the treatments of 0.5 and 1% xylose of both SBM and CSM compared to untreated SBM and CSM but differences were not significant. In conclusion SBM proteins can be effectively protected from degradation in the rumen by xylose treatment, without negatively affecting in vivo digestibility of protein, whereas xylose treatment appeared to be less effective on protecting of CSM proteins.

분유 분말의 C. sakazakii와 양파 분말의 B. cereus의 포자를 저해하는데 있어 가장 효과적인 플라즈마 형성 가스는 각각 He-$O_2$와 He이었다. 분유 분말에 대한 콜드 플라즈마 처리시간이 길어질수록 그리고 형성 전력이 높아질수록 C. sakazakii의 저해도가 커졌으며, 900W, 40분 처리시 가장 큰 저해율을 나타내었다. 양파 분말에 접종된 B. cereus 포자는 콜드 플라즈마 단독 처리와 마이크로파와 병합된 콜드 플라즈마 처리에 대하여 강한 저항력을 가지고 있었으나 열처리($90^{\circ}C$, 1분)를 두 형태의 플라즈마 처리에 선병합시켰을 때 약 90%가 저해되었다. 병합 처리한 결과, 각각의 방법을 단독으로 처리한 것보다 병합 처리시 B. cereus 포자의 저해율(약 1.0 log spores/g)이 높아졌다. 본 연구는 분체 식품에 존재하는 식중독 균의 효율적인 살균 방법을 제시하였고, 분체 식품의 새로운 살균 공정으로서의 콜드 플라즈마의 적용 가능성을 보여주었다.
