식품 저장 중 효소적 갈변을 일으키는 타이로시네이스의 활성을 저해시킬 수 있는 LED의 파장을 구명하기 위하여 파란색, 초록색, 빨간색 LED와 형광등을 이용하여 타이로시네이스에 7일동안 조사하였다. 또한 강도에 따른 타이로시네이스의 활성을 조사하기 위하여 파란색, 초록색, 빨간색 LED를 선택하여 빛의 강도를 3단계로 구분하여 사용하였다. 파장에 따른 타이로시네이스의 활성 저해율은 형광등에서 가장 컸으며 그 다음으로 파란색 LED에서 높은 저해율을 보였다. 빨간색 LED에서는 대조구와 유사한 저해율을 보였으며 초록색 LED에서 저해율이 가장 낮았다. 상대적 빛의 강도에 따른 타이로시네이스 활성은 초록색과 빨간색 LED 조사 시 효소활성의 변화가 크지 않았고, 반면 파란색 LED에서 강도가 증가할수록 큰 저해효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 볼 때 여러 가지 파장의 LED 중 고강도의 파란색 LED에서 타이로시네이스에 의한 식품의 갈변을 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 이는 갈변 억제를 유도함으로써 과일 및 채소의 저장 중 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on healing of impaired wound and alteration of mast cells in experimental diabetic rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: excision (Ex), excision-LED irradiation (Ex-LED), diabetes + excision (DM) and diabetes + excision + LED irradiation (DM-LED). Diabetes was induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection (70 mg/kg, single dose) and 6 mm punch excision wounds were created on the back after shaving hair. The LED-irradiated rats were treated to a daily dose of $5\;J/cm^2$ LED (630 nm) light for 11 days after surgery, and were killed at day 1, 3, 7 and 11. The lesion and adjacent skin tissues were excised, fixed with 10% buffered formalin and embedded with paraffin. For evaluation of wound healing, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson trichrome staining were performed. Mast cells (MCs) were stained with toluidine blue (pH 0.5) and quantified using a computerized image analysis system. The proliferation activity of keratinocyte in skin tissues was analyzed on sections immunostained with proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The results showed that wound healing rate, collagen density and neo-epidermis length, number of PCNA-positive cells, fibroblasts and mast cells were significantly higher in the LED-irradiated rats than in the DM and Ex rats throughout the periods of experiment. Exceptionally, the number of MCs was significantly lower at day 11 compared with day 7 after surgery in the all groups. These findings suggest that the LED irradiation may promote the tissue repair process by accelerating keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in normal rats as well as in diabetic rats, and MCs may play an important role at an early stage of skin wound healing in normal and diabetic rats.

The antimicrobial properties of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) are an area of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bactericidal effects of blue (peak at 456 nm), green (peak at 518 nm), red (peak at 654 nm) and blue-green combined (blue 456 nm : green 558 nm = 69:31) LED irradiation to pathogenic bacteria. For this, LED equipment providing power density of $10mW/cm^2$ was installed and plates were exposed to 0.9 or $3.0mW/cm^2$ to irradiate bacteria with 3.2 to $259.2mW/cm^2$ of energy density. As a result, blue and combined LED have shown bactericidal effects on Escherichia coli KCTC 1467 and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 after irradiation of $3.0mW/cm^2$ for 2 and 4 hr, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1916 was inhibited at 518 nm green LED irradiation. However, red LED irradiation showed no inhibitory effect to the other tested strains. Light technology that utilizes the bactericidal properties of blue (at 456 nm) and blue-green(blue 456 nm : green 558 nm = 69:31) combined LED may have potential applications in the food industry sector.

Recently high and persistent spontaneous buildup of a surface potential (SP) upon vacuum deposition of tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$), which is widely used for organic light emitting devices. The removal of the giant surface potential by visible light irradiation has also been reported. In this study, we coated $Alq_3$ on the FTO substrate and raise the capacity for absorbing sun light. The $Alq_3$ which is green light emitting diode emits light at wavelengths between 500 and 550nm. If we apply one's FTO/$Alq_3$ substrate in one's DSSC, we could get higher energy conversion efficiency because the N719 dye that we used for fabricating the DSSC emits light just at near 540nm. The energy conversion efficiency of approximately 4.8 % at the condition of irradiation of AM 1.5 (100 mW/$cm^2$) simulated sunlight, and the $J_{sc}$ is 12.0 mA/$cm^2$, $V_{oc}$ is 0.71 V, FF is 0.56, respectively.

Dental caries, the most common oral disease, is a multifactorial disease caused by interactions among bacteria within the dental plaque, food, and saliva, resulting in tooth destruction. Streptococcus mutans has been strongly implicated as the causative organism in dental caries and is frequently isolated from human dental plaque. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that involves the activation of photosensitizer by light in the presence of tissue oxygen, resulting in the production of reactive radicals capable of inducing cell death. Postantibiotic effect (PAE) is defined as the duration of suppressed bacterial growth following brief exposure to an antibiotic. In this study, the in vitro PAE of PDT using erythrosine and light emitting diode on S. mutans ATCC 25175 was investigated. The PAE of PDT for 1 s irradiation and 3 s irradiation were 1.65 h and 2.1 h, respectively. The present study thus confirmed PAE of PDT using erythrosine on S. mutans.

본 연구에서는 배추김치(RK)와 백김치(WK) 시료를 이용하여 72시간의 저장 기간 동안, Blue-LED 조사 효과를 확인하였다. BLED 처리에 의해 RK에서의 유산균 증식이 유의적으로 증가하였으나(p<0.05), 곰팡이 및 효모의 생육도에서는 대조구와 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 색도의 경우, BLED 처리 시 대부분 명도가 조금 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, BLED 조사에 의해 색의 변화가 일정기간 지연되는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. BLED 처리에 의해 WK는 저장기간 동안 pH 감소가 유의적으로 지연되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.05). ABTS법에 의해 측정된 산화방지 활성에서는 두 종류의 김치시료액 모두 BLED처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 활성을 보였다(p<0.05). 두 김치에서 우점종으로 분리된 W. cibaria RK1와 W. cibaria WK1 유산균은 BLED에 민감하게 작용하여 모두 생육이 저해되었고, 표준 균주인 Leu. mesenteroides는 BLED 조사에 의한 생육도의 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 현재까지 BLED 조사를 이용한 유해 균주 억제 연구가 주로 이루어진 반면, 현 연구에서는 BLED조사에 의한 김치 발효상의 특성 변화와 발효미생물들의 생육도를 확인함으로써 발효 식품의 숙성 시기에 따라 적절한 LED 광원을 이용한 발효 미생물들의 생육 조절과 식품의 기능적 향상 가능성을 제시하였다.

Purpose: To determine the effects of 630 nm light emitting diode (LED) on full-thickness wound healing. Methods: Twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into LED (n=6) and control group (n=6). Two $19.63mm^2$ wounds were created on the mid dorsum. LED group received a 630 nm LED irradiation with $3.67mW/cm^2$ for 30 minutes ($6.60J/cm^2$) for 7 days, while control group received sham LED irradiation. Epithelial gap, collagen density, ${\alpha}$-SMA fibroblast and PCNA keratinocyte were measured on histochemical and immunohistochemical staining using image analysis system. An independent t-test was conducted to compare the difference between groups. Results: The wound closure rate, collagen density, ${\alpha}$-SMA fibroblast number, epithelial gap and PCNA keratinocyte number have shown no significant difference between LED and control group at day 3 after the treatment. At day 7 after the treatment, the wound closure rate in LED group was increased when compared with control group (p<0.05). The collagen density (p<0.05) and ${\alpha}$-SMA immunoreactive fibroblast number (p<0.001) were increased when compared with control group at day 7. The epithelial gap in LED group was significantly shorten than control group at day 7 (p<0.01). The PCNA positive cell number in LED group was higher than control group at day 7 (p<0.01). Conclusion: 630 nm LED with $3.67mW/cm^2$, $6.60J/cm^2$ accelerate collagen deposition by stimulating fibroblasts, and enhance wound contraction by differentiating myofibroblasts in the dermis, and accelerate keratinocyte proliferation by facilitating DNA synthesis in the epidermis. It may promote the healing process in proliferation stage of wound healing.

We developed the 4-channel Light Medical Therapy Apparatus for Skin Injury Cure using a high brightness LED. This equipment was fabricated using a micro-controller and a high brightness LED, and designed to enable us to control light irradiation time, intensity and reservation. In this paper, the designed device was used to find out how high brightness LED light affects the skin injury of SD-Rat(Sprague-Dawley Rat). In the experiment, $1\;cm^2$ wounds on the skin injury of SD-Rat(Sprague-Dawley Rat) were made. Light irradiation group and none light irradiation group divided, each group was irradiated one hour a day for 14 days. In result, compared with none light irradiation group, the lower incidence of inflammation and faster recovery was shown in light irradiation group.
