584 kHz 정사각형 Batch형 초음파 반응조를 이용하여 TCE (Trichloroethylene)의 초음파 분해에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 단면 조사 조건에서 초음파 시스템에서의 중요한 운전인자인 초음파 출력과 수용액 온도 조건의 영향에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였으며, 다중 조사 조건에서의 초음파 출력 분배와 조사각에 따른 초음파 효과에 대해 고찰함으로써 제작된 반응조의 처리 효율을 검증하였다. 단면 조사 조건에서 초음파의 출력을 100에서 300 W로 단계적으로 증가시킬 때 TCE의 분해 속도 상수와 $H_2O_2$의 발생 속도 상수, 그리고 TCE의 무해화(mineralization) 정도의 판단 지표인 chloride의 발생 또한 모두 함께 증가하였다. 한편 초음파 출력 200 W 조건에서 수용액의 온도를 10에서 $30^{\circ}C$로 증가시킴에 따라 TCE 저감 속도 상수와 $H_2O_2$ 발생 속도 상수는 증가한 반면, chloride 발생은 오히려 감소하였다. 다중 조사 조건에 대한 실험 결과 300 W의 초음파 출력을 1, 2(직각), 2(정면), 3, 그리고 4면의 조사면에 따라 분배하였을 때 TCE의 분해 속도 상수는 4면 > 3면 > 단면 > 2면 정면 > 2면 직각의 순으로 조사면 수가 많아질수록 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 최대, 최소값의 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 300 W와 450 W의 출력 조건에서 2면 정면과 직각 분배 조건에 대한 실험 결과를 비교한 결과 TCE의 분해 속도 상수는 거의 비슷하였으나 $H_2O_2$는 2면 정면 조건에서 더욱 많이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Chronological aging and photoaging affect appearance, causing wrinkles, pigmentation, texture changes, and loss of elasticity in the skin. Phragmites communis is a tall perennial herb used for its high nutritional value and for medicinal purposes, such as relief from fever and vomiting and facilitation of diuresis. In this study, we investigated the effects of ethanol extract of P. communis rhizome (PCE) on skin aging. The total flavonoid and total phenolic content in PCE were 2.92 ± 0.007 ㎍ of quercetin equivalents (QE) and 231.8 ± 0.001 ㎍ of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per 100 mg of dried extract (n = 3). The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of PCE for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities were 0.96 and 0.97 mg/mL, respectively. PCE showed inhibitory effects on tyrosinase when L-tyrosine (IC50 = 1.25 mg/mL) and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (IC50 = 0.92 mg/mL) were used as substrates. PCE treatment up to 200 ㎍/mL for 24 h did not cause any significant cytotoxicity in B16F10 melanocytes, human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), and HaCaT keratinocytes. In B16F10 melanocytes, PCE (25 and 50 ㎍ /mL) inhibited melanin production and cellular tyrosinase activity after challenge with α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH; p < 0.05). In HDFs, PCE suppressed the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and reduced the activity of elastase (p < 0.05). In addition, ultraviolet B (UVB)-mediated downregulation of hyaluronic acid synthase-2 gene expression in HaCaT keratinocytes was also effectively suppressed by PCE treatment. Overall, our results showed that PCE has potential anti-skin aging activity associated with the suppression of hyperpigmentation, wrinkle formation, and reduction in dryness. PCE is a promising candidate for the development of an anti-skin aging cosmetic ingredient.

Background: Oxidative stress occurs during the aging process and other conditions such as bone fracture, bone diseases, and osteoporosis, but the role of oxidative stress in bone remodeling is unknown. Propofol exerts antioxidant effects, but the mechanisms of propofol preconditioning on oxidative stress have not been fully explained. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of propofol against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress on a human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) cell line via activation of autophagy. Methods: Cells were randomly divided into the following groups: control cells were incubated in normoxia (5% $CO_2$, 21% $O_2$, and 74% $N_2$) without propofol. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) group cells were exposed to $H_2O_2\;(200{\mu}M)$ for 2 h, propofol preconditioning (PPC)/$H_2O_2$ group cells were pretreated with propofol then exposed to $H_2O_2$, 3-methyladenine (3-MA)/PPC/$H_2O_2$ cells were pretreated with 3-MA (1 mM) and propofol, then were exposed to $H_2O_2$. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated. Osteoblast maturation was determined by assaying bone nodular mineralization. Expression levels of bone related proteins were determined by western blot. Results: Cell viability and bone nodular mineralization were decreased significantly by $H_2O_2$, and this effect was rescued by propofol preconditioning. Propofol preconditioning effectively decreased $H_2O_2$-induced hFOB cell apoptosis. However, pretreatment with 3-MA inhibited the protective effect of propofol. In western blot analysis, propofol preconditioning increased protein levels of collagen type I, BMP-2, osterix, and TGF-${\beta}1$. Conclusions: This study suggests that propofol preconditioning has a protective effect on $H_2O_2$-induced hFOB cell death, which is mediated by autophagy activation.

This study was carried out to apply some basic physical and chemical treatment options including Fenton's oxidation, and to evaluate the performances and the characteristics of organic and nitrogen removal using lab-scale biological treatment system such as complete-mixing activated sludge and sequencing batch reactor(SBR) processes for the treatment of leachate from a municipal waste landfill in Gyeongnam province. The results were as follows: Chemical coagulation experiments using aluminium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride resulted in leachate CO $D_{Cr}$ removal of 32%, 23% and 21 % with optimum reaction dose ranges of 10,000～15,000 mg/$\ell$, 1,000 mg/$\ell$ and 500～2,000 mg/$\ell$, respectively. Fenton's oxidation required the optimum conditions including pH 3.5, 6 hours of reaction time, and hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate concentrations of 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$ each with 1:1 weight ratio to remove more than 50% of COD in the leachate containing CO $D_{Cr}$ between 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$. Air-stripping achieved to remove more than 97% of N $H_3$-N in the leachate in spite of requiring high cost of chemicals and extensive stripping time, and, however, zeolite treatment removing 94% of N $H_3$-N showed high selectivity to N $H^{+}$ ion and much faster removal rate than air-stripping. The result from lab-scale experiment using a complete-mixing activated sludge process showed that biological treatability tended to increase more or less as HRT increased or F/M ratio decreased, and, however, COD removal efficiency was very poor by showing only 36% at HRT of 29 days. While COD removal was achieved more during Fenton's oxidation as compared to alum treatment for the landfill leachate, the ratio of BOD/COD after Fenton's oxidation considerably increased, and the consecutive activated sludge process significantly reduced organic strength to remove 50% of CO $D_{Cr}$ and 95% of BO $D_{5}$ . The SBR process was generally more capable of removing organics and nitrogen in the leachate than complete-mixing activated sludge process to achieve 74% removal of influent CO $D_{Cr}$ , 98% of BO $D_{5}$ and especially 99% of N $H_3$-N. However, organic removal rates of the SBR processes pre-treated with air-stripping and with zeolite were not much different with those without pre-treatment, and the SBR process treated with powdered activated carbon showed a little higher rate of CO $D_{Cr}$ removal than the process without any treatment. In conclusion, the biological treatment process using SBR proved to be the most applicable for the treatment of organic contents and nitrogen simultaneously and effectively in the landfill leachate.e.

초음파는 세포사멸을 포함하여 의학 및 생물학분야에 널리 응용되고 있으나 그 정확한 기작에 대해선 논쟁의 여지가 있다. 본 연구에서는 40 kH 초음파 조사시스템을 단세포 효모에 적합하게 개발하고 세포사멸 유도시 40 kH 초음파의 생물학적 현상을 살펴보았다. 아이오딘화 칼륨 선량 측정법을 이용하여 1.5 ml 실험튜브에 40 kH 초음파 조사 시스템의 최적 조건을 맞추어 세포사멸을 시간 의존적 방식으로 연구하였고 초음파 조사과정동안 온열효과와는 별개로 세포 사멸이 관찰되었다. 40 kH 초음파와 과산화수소의 동시 처리는 세포사멸에 상조적인 효과가 관찰되어 활성산소가 40 kH 초음파사멸에 관련이 있었다. 그러나 활성산소 저해제, NAC(N-acetyl-Lcysteine)는 초음파에 의한 세포사멸에 약한 영향만을 미쳤고 다른 세포사멸, 괴사억제제[글리실리진(glycyrrhizin) 또는 zVAD-fmk] 역시도 세포사멸을 완전히 억제하진 못하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 40 kH 초음파에 의한 세포사멸에는 온열효과나 활성산소만으로 사멸이 유도되지는 않는 것으로 보인다.

Histamine은 발효식품, 등푸른 생선 등 단백질이 많이 함유된 식품에서 잘 생성되는 물질로 이들 식품의 부패 시에는 다량의 histamine이 발생되어 이를 섭취하였을 때 독성을 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 histamine은 어육식품의 선도 저하 또는 부패의 지표로서 사용된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신속하며 정확한 histamine 검출을 위한 바이오센서 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 기능화된 MWCNT와 Prussian blue를 사용한 전극을 제작하였으며, 여러 불용성 담체에 효소를 고정화시켜 바이오센서 시스템에 적합한 불용성 담체를 확인하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. MWCNT-$NH_2$와 Prussian blue가 도입된 전극의 과산화수소에 대한 감응도를 확인한 결과, 검출한계는 $0.1{\mu}M$으로 나타났으며, 각 담체의 효소 고정화도를 측정한 결과, CNBr-activated sepharose 4B는 48.5%, calcium alginate는 40.3%, controlled pore size glass beads는 51.0%를 보였다. 또한 CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, controlled pore size glass beads로 제작된 효소반응기의 $100{\mu}M$ histamine에 대한 전극 감응도는 각각 120 nA, 110 nA, 140 nA로 나타났다. 따라서 담체의 coupling efficiency, 제작된 효소반응기의 전극 감응도, 선형 관계 등을 고려해 보았을 때 controlled pore size glass beads가 본 연구에서 구축된 바이오센서 시스템에서 가장 적합한 담체인 것으로 확인되었다. 이로써 이들 작업전극과 효소반응기로 구축된 바이오센서는 histamine을 감도 높고 신속하게 측정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Background: The antioxidant effects of Panax ginseng have been reported in several articles; however, little is known about the antimelanogenesis effect, skin-protective effect, and cellular mechanism of Panax ginseng, especially of P. ginseng calyx. To understand how an ethanol extract of P. ginseng berry calyx (Pg-C-EE) exerts skin-protective effects, we studied its activities in activated melanocytes and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced keratinocytes. Methods: To confirm the antimelanogenesis effect of Pg-C-EE, we analyzed melanin synthesis and secretion and messenger RNA and protein expression levels of related genes. Ultraviolet B (UVB) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) were used to induce cell damage by ROS generation. To examine whether this damage is inhibited by Pg-C-EE, we performed cell viability assays and gene expression and transcriptional activation analyses. Results: Pg-C-EE inhibited melanin synthesis and secretion by blocking activator protein 1 regulatory enzymes such as p38, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), and cyclic adenosine mono-phosphate response element-binding protein. Pg-C-EE also suppressed ROS generation induced by $H_2O_2$ and UVB. Treatment with Pg-C-EE decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and hyaluronidases and increased the cell survival rate. Conclusion: These results suggest that Pg-C-EE may have antimelanogenesis properties and skin-protective properties through regulation of activator protein 1 and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein signaling. Pg-C-EE may be used as a skin-improving agent, with moisture retention and whitening effects.

Objective : To identify the effects of the water extract of Liriope platyphylla tuber (Liriopis tuber, LT) on the activation of astocytes, we investigated the regulatory effects of LT extract on H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage in C6 rat astrocytes. Methods : LT extract was extracted with boiling water. C6 cell line were treated with LT extract at 1, 2, and 3 mg/㎖ or without for 30 min and then stimulated with H₂O₂ at 5 ㎛ for 24 hr. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), phospho-STAT3 (pSTAT3), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalase, Akt, phospho-Akt (p-Akt) phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) proteins were determined by Western blot, respectively. GFAP expression was also observed with immunocytochemistry under a fluorescence microscope. Results : LT extract induced cell proliferation in H₂O₂-stimulated C6 cells. LT extract significantly inhibited the expression of GFAP, NF-κB and COX-2 and increased the expression of HO-1 and the phosphorylation of STAT3 in H₂O₂-stimulated C6 cells. LT extract also significantly increased the phosphorylation of Akt and decreased the expression of PKCα in a dose-dependent manner in H₂O₂-stimulated C6 cells. Conclusions : LT extract can regulate H₂O₂-induced activation of astrocytes through inhibiting the expression of NF-κB, COX-2 and regulating Akt / HO-1, STAT3 or PKCα signaling pathway.
