Objectives : This study investigated the liver-protective effects of MJY2018, a Herbal formula, against alcoholic fatty liver disease and anti-oxidative effects. Methods : Its effects were investigated in an alcoholic fatty liver disease model in male C57BL/6 mice, which were fed Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet containing ethanol. MJY2018 (100 and 200 mg/kg bw/day) or silymarin (50 mg/kg bw/day) were orally administered daily in the alcoholic fatty liver disease mice for 16 days. Results : The results indicate that MJY2018 promotes hepatoprotection by significantly reducing aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels as indicators of liver damage in the serum. Furthermore, MJY2018 reduced accumulation of triglyceride and total cholesterol, increased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in the livers of the alcoholic fatty liver disease mice model. Additionally, it improved the serum alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity. Conclusions : These results indicate that MJY2018 were effective in improving and protecting oxidative stress and alcoholic liver disease.

Clenbuterol, a selective ${\beta}_2-adrenergic$ receptor stimulant, has been introduced as a potent bronchodilator for patients with bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema. For the purpose of developing a transdermal preparation for clenbuterol, we attempted to select an optimal solvent system and permeation enhancer among fatty acids and fatty alcohols which are known to accelerate the penetration of various drugs in permeation experiments using hairless mouse skin and Franz diffusion cell. Apparent partition coefficient of clenbuterol was increased as pH of buffer solution was increased and solubility of clenbuterol was increased as the percent of propylene glycol(PG) in buffer solution(pH 10) was increased. Permeability of clenbuterol from different buffer(pH 10)/PG solvent mixtures was decreased as the percent of PG in pH 10 buffer solution was increased and among the various enhancers studied, lauryl alcohol was found to be the most effective enhancer, increasing the permeability of clenbuterol approximately 76-fold compared with control. Lauryl alcohol$(0{\sim}2%)$ enhanced the permeability of clenbuterol concentration-dependently. In this study, the optimal solvent system for the penetration of clenbuterol was found to be 50/50 buffer(pH 10)/PG solvent mixture containing 2% lauryl alcohol.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is a type of fatty liver in which fat accumulates in the liver without alcohol. In the accumulation, Nrf1 and miR-378 genes play very important role, so called negative feedback loop, in which the two genes suppress the other's production. In other words, Nrf1 activates fatty acid oxidation which promotes fat consumption in the liver, while miR-378 deactivates fatty acid oxidation. Thus, both genes regulate nonalcoholic fatty liver. In this paper, the negative feedback loop of Nrf1 and miR-378 are expressed by a system of ordinary differential equations. And, bifurcation simulation shows the change in the amount of each gene with significant parameter range changes. Bifurcation simulation has also used to determine the thresholds for transit between disease and steady state.

This study deals with investigation of the ethanol tolerance of yeast strains with respect to fatty acid composition and intracelluar ethanol concentration during alcohol fermentation. The cell viabilities and fermentation abilities of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces fragilis were improved by aeration and addition of unsaturated fatty acids into growth medium. Aeration decreases the accumulation of ethanol, while increases unsaturated fatty acid contents inside yeast cells. Thus it was found that oxygen and unsaturated fatty acids play decisive roles in the increase of ethanol tolerance of yeasts.

To study the relation between serum fatty acids and coronary artery disease(CAD), 194 subjects were randomly selected and divided into three groups(control, single vessel disease group(SVD), muliple vessel disease group(MVD)) according to the angiographic results. Total serum levels of fatty acids and serum phospholipid(PL)-fatty acids(FAs)were analysed using gas chromatography and their associations with CAD were examined. Different patterns of total serum fatty acid levels were found in men and women. Levels of most fatty acids of SVD and MVD were significantly lower in men, while those of MVD were significantly higher in women. In terms of PL-FAs in both men and women, the levels of PL-FAs follow the order of control < SVD < MVD and in women, the difference was significant. Various ratio(including ratios denoting the activites of desaturase and elongase) of total serum-and PL-FAs were similar in the three groups. In the relation of serum fatty acids to serum lipid profiles, PUFA & LDL showed a negative correlation, while, SFA & LDL-cholesterol and PUFA and HDL-cholesterol showed positive correlatons. correlations. Systolic blood pressure and alcohol intake levels negatively affected the levels of serum LA, AA, EPA and DHA in the risk factor analysis. These findings are consistent with other evidence indicating that fatty acid compositions are changed in CAD, especially on the concentration base and the change was related to the severity of the disease. Therefore, for the purpose of disease prevention and therapeutic use, balanced intakes of various fatty acids must be seriously considered.

본 연구에서는 헛개나무열매를 주성분으로 제조한 두 종류의 혼합물들(NHDT-1과 NHDT-2)이 알코올 및 아세트알데히드의 분해를 촉진시켜 숙취의 발생을 저하시킬 수 있는지 여부와 만성적으로 알코올을 복용시켰을 때 간손상 및 지방간의 발생을 억제할 수 있는지 여부를 조사하였다. NHDT-1은 헛개나무열매에 진피, 창출 및 감초를 첨가하여 제조하였고, NHDT-2는 NHDT-1에 홍삼을 첨가하여 제조하였다. NHDT-1과 NHDT-2의 조성 차이는 홍삼임에도 불구하고 백서에게 투여하였을 때 알코올 및 아세트알데히드의 분해와 간손상을 억제하는 작용에는 차이가 있었다. 홍삼이 함유되어있지 않은 NHDT-1은 급성 알코올 실험에서 알코올 및 아세트알데히드 분해를 촉진시켜 혈청농도를 저하시켰으나, 홍삼이 함유된 NHDT-2는 혈청 알코올과 아세트알데히드 농도를 저하시키지 못했다. 급성실험과는 반대로 장기간 알코올을 투여한 실험에서는 NHDT-1은 NHDT-2에 비해 알코올로 인한 간의 손상과 지방간 발생을 억제하지 못했다. 결론적으로 간기능이 좋은 상태에서 일시적으로 복용하는 경우에는 NHDT-1이 알코올과 아세트알데히드의 분해를 촉진하여 숙취해소에 효과적이지만, 간이 좋지 않은 상태에서는 장기간동안 NHDT-2를 복용하여 간의 기능을 향상시키는 것이 음주 후 숙취제거에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

We have produced, characterized and compared different colloidal vehicles based on nanoemulsions. We also have investigated morphology and droplet distribution by means of electron microscope and photon correlation spectroscopy. Nanoemulsion systems characterized by different method on formulations have been obtained. Hydration power has been studied by means of a corneometer, measuring the skin electrical capacitance before and after the application of various type of skin lotions. It has been demonstrated that nanoemulsion with oil or fatty alcohol displayed a pronounced hydration power with respect to the solubilization system. In order to compare the smoothness of the skin after using skin lotion, we have measured the friction force. The skin lotions produced by nanoemulsion technique show improved smoothness of an atopic skin.

Spherical granules of anti-inflammatory enzyme were prepared by mixer granulation and the recovery rate of enzyme activity by processing was compared with tablet ones. In the enteric granule coating .processing, the effect of the amount of coating solution and the conentration of fatty alcohol on disintegration and stabilities on the accelerated conditions were also studied. Being prepared in non-pressure and non-aqueous condition, spherical granules of enzyme made better recovery of enzme activity than tablet ones by 10 times. Combined processing of both mixer granulation and enteric granule film coating provided the noble enteric coated granules, in the sense of disintegration and stabilities, was obtained from using 0.125% fatty alcohol in coating solution.

Toner used in xerographic printing process is hydrophobic powder with low surface energy. The toner ink film fused on paper surface can be efficiently detached from a fiber surface during pulping, but it does not fragment again into fine toner particles. Ink agglomerates that result have too large particle size to be deinked by flotation. The purpose of this study is to enhance toner agglomeration using 1-octadecanol for improving the toner removal by screening. The effect of pH, pulping temperature, and 1-octadecanol on toner agglomeration and removal by screening was investigated using image analysis methods. Results showed that the size of toner agglomerates increased substantially when pulping was carried out at high temperature under acidic condition. When toner agglomerates showed spherical shape, the particle removal efficiency of screening was improved.
