미역이나 다시마와 같은 해조류는 생물의 상태로 유통될 수 없는 어려움이 있어 건조, 염장, 당장 등의 가공 처리가 필요하다. 본 실험에서는 다시마를 건조 및 전처리를 하여 해조류에 거부감을 가지고 있는 내륙지역에서도 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 스낵으로 제조하고, 맛과 씹힘성이 좋으며 비린 맛이 없어 누구나 좋아하는 스낵을 개발하고, 개발한 스낵의 물리화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 다시마 연화에 탁월한 폴리인산나트륨 용액 농도 탐색 실험에서는 0.2-0.3% 농도의 폴리인산나트륨 용액에 침지시키는 것이 다시마 연화나 맛에서 좋았고 부드러운 질감을 나타내었다. 폴리인산나트륨 용액 침지 및 굽는 처리를 달리한 다시마 스낵 제조에서는 두께가 221 mm 미만인 것은 얇은 것으로, 221 mm 이상인 것은 두꺼운 것으로 분류하여 실험을 진행하였는데, 두꺼운 다시마 스낵에서 모든 실험 결과에서 일관된 결과를 보이는 반면 얇은 다시마의 경우 일관된 결과를 보이지 않아 두꺼운 다시마로 스낵을 제조하는 것이 바람직해 보였다. 다시마 스낵은 굽는 처리를 한 것이 수분함량과 조회분 함량에서 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 폴리인산나트륨 용액에 침지시킨 것이 낮은 경도 값을 나타내는 것으로 보아 폴리인산나트륨 용액에 침지로 인해 다시마가 부드러워지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전자현미경 촬영 결과 폴리인산나트륨 용액에 침지시키고 굽는 처리를 한 다시마 스낵이 조직이 부드러워지는 것과 좋은 질감을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다시마로 스낵을 제조할 때는 단백질과 회분 함량이 적절하게 포함된 중층부 다시마의 두꺼운 부분을 사용하는 것이 좋으며, 음지에서 건조시킨 다시마를 사용하는 것이 저장성이 높은 다시마 스낵을 제조하는데 바람직할 것으로 보인다. 가공 처리의 경우 폴리인산나트륨 용액에 침지 및 굽는 처리를 하여 단맛이나 매운맛의 조미를 가하여 다시마 스낵을 제조할 경우 이물감이 없고 씹힘성이 좋으며 비린 맛이 없는 상품성이 높은 다시마 스낵을 제조할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 해조류 섭취의 중요성에 대한 연구들이 뒷받침된다면 다시마 스낵이 남미에 수출되면 갑상선종에 대한 예방이 가능하고 수출 증대로 국가적 이익을 창출 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The use of artificial nerve conduit containing viable Schwann cells is one of the most promising strategies to repair the peripheral nerve injury. To fabricate an effective nerve conduit whose microstructure and internal environment are more favorable in the nerve regeneration than existing ones, a new three-dimensional Schwann cell culture technique using $Matrigel^{(R)}$. and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was developed. Nerve conduit of three-dimensionally arranged Schwann cells was fabricated using direct seeding of freshly harvested DRG into a $Matrigel^{(R)}$ filled silicone tube (I.D. 1.98 mm, 14 mm length) and in vitro rafting culture for 2 weeks. The nerve regeneration efficacy of three-dimensionally cultured Schwann cell conduit (3D conduit group, n=6) was assessed using SD rat sciatic nerve defect of 10 mm, and compared with that of silicone conduit filled with $Matrigel^{(R)}$ and Schwann cells prepared from the conventional plain culture method (2D conduit group, n=6). After 12 weeks, sciatic function was evaluated with sciatic function index (SFI) and gait analysis, and histomorphology of nerve conduit and the innervated tissues of sciatic nerve were examined using image analyzer and electromicroscopic methods. The SFI and ankle stance angle (ASA) in the functional evaluation were $-60.1{\pm}13.9$, $37.9^{\circ}{\pm}5.4^{\circ}$ in 3D conduit group (n=5) and $-87.0{\pm}12.9$, $32.2^{\circ}{\pm}4.8^{\circ}$ in 2D conduit group (n=4), respectively. And the myelinated axon was $44.91%{\pm}0.13%$ in 3D conduit group and $13.05%{\pm}1.95%$ in 2D conduit group to the sham group. In the TEM study, 3D conduit group showed more abundant myelinated nerve fibers with well organized and thickened extracellular collagen than 2D conduit group, and gastrocnemius muscle and biceps femoris tendon in 3D conduit group were less atrophied and showed decreased fibrosis with less fatty infiltration than 2D conduit group. In conclusion, new three-dimensional Schwann cell culture technique was established, and nerve conduit fabricated using this technique showed much improved nerve regeneration capacity than the silicone tube filled with $Matrigel^{(R)}$ and Schwann cells prepared from the conventional plain culture method.

Styela clava, called non-native tunicate or sea squirt, is habitat which include bays and harbors in Korea and several sites in the sea faced world. We fabricate cellulose membrane nerve conduit (CMNC) from this native sea squirt skin, and evaluate the capacity of promoting peripheral nerve regeneration in the rat sciatic nerve defect model. After processing the pure cellulose membrane from the sea squirt skin as we already published before, CMNC was designed as a non-tubular sheet with 14 mm length and 4 mm width. Total eleven male Spraque-Dawley rats (12 weeks, weighing 250 to 300g) were divided into sham group (n=2), silicone tube grafted control group (n=3) and experimental group (n=6). Each CMNC grafted nerve was evaluated after 4, 8 and 12 weeks in the experimental group, and after 12 weeks, sciatic function was evaluated with sciatic function index (SFI) and gait analysis, and histomorphology of nerve conduit and the innervated tissues of sciatic nerve were all examined using image analyzer and electromicroscopic methods in the all groups. The regenerated axon and nerve sheath were found only in the inner surface of the CMNC after 4 weeks and became more thicker after 8 and 12 weeks. In the TEM study, CMNC grafted group showed more abundant organized myelinated nerve fibers with thickened extracellular matrix than silicone conduit grafted group after 12 weeks. The sciatic function index (SFI) and ankle stance angle (ASA) in the functional evaluation were $-47.2{\pm}3.9$, $35.5^{\circ}{\pm}4.9^{\circ}$ in CMNC grafted group (n=2) and $-80.4{\pm}7.4$, $29.2^{\circ}{\pm}5.3^{\circ}$ in silicone conduit grafted group (n=3), respectively. And the myelinated axon was 41.59% in CMNC group and 9.51% in silicone conduit group to the sham group. The development of a bioactive CMNC to replace autogenous nerve grafts offers a potential and available approach to improved peripheral nerve regeneration. As we already published before, small peptide fragment derived from the basement membrane matrix proteins of squirt skin, which is a kind of anchoring protein composed of glycocalyx, induced the effective axonal regeneration with rapid growth of Schwann cells beneath the inner surface of CMNC. So the possibilities of clinical application as a peripheral nerve regeneration will be able to be suggested.
