In exposuring x-rays, we can adjust three variables of kVp, mA and sec. The kVp is one of main factors affecting x-ray quality -peneterability. And miliampere-seconds is directly proportional to x-ray quantity. In this paper, we detected voltage variation of CdS, II-VI group semiconductor compounds, by kVp as the fundamental experiments of designing x-ray dosimeter. We exposured x-ray on the material from 40 to 100 kVp by increasing 2kVp using Shimadazu TH-500-125 Radio-Tex cx-s x-ray machine. We fixed miliampere -seconds to 100mA and 0.2 sec. After acquiring the raw data, we plotted the graph of kVp and voltage variation and figured slope value of 0.093 by regression. The standard deviation of voltage to kVp was 0.22. For the future study, the mAs variation study will be needed to investigate the connections between kVp and mAs in order to design x-ray dosimeter.

The majority of table salts are bay salts and chemical salts. However, chemical salts are known to have a different composition in biological electrolytes and quality of bay salts are getting worse due to the increasing seawater contamination. These facts may have led to the increasing usage of various health-promoting salts. Bamboo salt was introduced in 1986 as a solution to replace table salts to eliminate those detrimental effects, to promote general health and to treat diseases. Although all bamboo salts from different manufacturers have been used for the same health and medical purposes, each manufacturer utilizes different manufacturing process. The ICP analysis was used to study the changes of elemental contents in a bamboo salt during the manufacturing steps as well as these contents in various bamboo salts and other salts. After the first step, contents of Li and Sr in the bamboo salt were increased in comparison with those in the raw material, bay salt. As the next steps continued, contents of K, Ca and Ba were continuously increased. At the completion of the final step, contents of Mg and P were decreased and those of Cu, Mn and Mo were gradually increased. Bamboo salts contained lower contents of Mg, Al, B, and P, but higher contents of K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Li, Ba, Sr and Mo than bay salt.

To investigate antioxidant effects of tea tree root extracts using various extraction methods, cytotoxicity, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging, SOD, nitrite scavenging activity and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation, reducing power, ferrous ion chelating activity were measured. Cytotoxicity for RAW 264.7 cells was not observed at concentrations treated with below 90 ㎍/mL in all extracts. The maximum DPPH radical, nitrite scavenging, SOD activity and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation were obtained at the ethylacetate and 70% ethanol extract. The maximum ABTS radical scavenging activity was obtained at the ethylacetate and hot water extract. However, in the case of reducing power and ferrous ion chelating activity, they were obtained at 70% ethanol and hexane extract, respectively. Nitrate scavenging activity showed the most excellent scavenging ability of 59.6% at 90 ㎍/mL of ethylacetate. The hexane extract had the highest ferrous ion chelating activity, showing 61.05% at 50 ㎍/mL, 66.07% at 70 ㎍/mL and 76.81% at 90 ㎍/mL, respectively. The results of this research show that the ethylacetate and 70% ethanol extracts of tea tree root can be used as a natural material for scavenging the radicals. However, future study is necessary to understand the mechanism of antioxidant activity by identification of substances.

Cannabis sativa (CS) has been in the spotlight not only for its medical uses but also as a raw material for cosmetics. As fermented cosmetics are known to have various health benefits, they have been extensively researched. Here, we investigated the characteristics of CS stems fermented using various gut microbes. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay and melanin content analysis revealed that melan-a cells containing CS stems fermented with Weissella paramesenteroides (CSWP) showed considerably reduced melanin content. Additionally, CSWP downregulated the expression of several melanogenesis factors, tyrosinase-related protein-1, and tyrosinase-related protein-2. This study suggests that the anti-melanogenic effect of CSWP could provide a new basis for the development of skin-lightening agents.

이 연구의 목적은 5년간(2012년~2016년) 응급실 도착 전 심정지 환자의 자발순환회복 여부를 파악하고, 이에 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위하여 시도하였다. 이 연구는 우리나라 전국을 대상으로 2012~2016년 '질병관리본부'에서 실시한 '급성심장정지조사 원시자료'를 주 자료로 사용하였다. 2012년부터 2016년 5년간의 국가 심장정지 조사 자료 중 심장정지 환자 136,212명을 분석 대상으로 하였다. 일반적 특성, 사회·인구학적 특성, 발생관련 특성에 따른 응급실 도착 전 자발순환 회복 여부를 파악하기 위해 교차분석을 하였고, 자발순환 회복 여부에 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 응급실 도착 전 자발순환 회복 여부에 미치는 요인은 응급실 도착전 심폐소생술 지속 이송 여부, 응급실 도착 전 급성심장정지 목격 여부, 일반인 심폐소생술 시행 종류, 급성심장정지 발생 장소, 급성심장정지 발생 원인이었다(P<0.001, P<0.01). 그러므로, 심정지 환자의 자발순환 회복에 영향을 미치는 요인을 중심으로 체계적인 정부의 보건정책 시행과 대중적인 보건교육을 강화해야 할 것이다.

3D 프린팅 기술은 4차산업 혁명 중 제조업의 혁신적인 기술로서 전망되고 있으며, 현재 바이오 의료 분야를 포함한 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용한 제작 원료에 대한 방사선 차폐능을 평가하고자 몬테카를로 전산모사를 통해 프린팅 원료에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 현재 범용으로 사용되는 FDM 방식의 3D 프린터에서 이용 가능한 원료들을 대상으로 하였으며, ICRU phan tom과 차폐체를 모의 모사한 후 방사선의 종류 및 에너지에 따른 입자 플루언스 평가를 통해 차폐 효과에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 광자선의 경우 에너지 증가에 따라 차폐 효과는 점차 감소되는 경향을 보였고, 원료별 차폐 효과는 TPU, PLA, PVA, Nylon, ABS 순서로 점차적으로 낮아지는 결과를 나타냈다. 중성자선의 경우, 5~10 mm의 낮은 두께에서 반대로 선속이 증가되는 현상을 보였으나, 일정 두께 이상에서는 유효한 차폐 효과를 나타내었으며, 프린팅 원료별 차폐 효과는 Nylon, PVA, ABS, PLA, TPU 순서로 점차 낮아지는 결과를 보였다.

Lagerstroemia ovalifolia Teijsm. & Binn. (LO) (crape myrtle) has reportedly been used as traditional herbal medicine (THM) in Java, Indonesia. Our previous study revealed that the LO leaf extract (LOLE) exerted anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Based on this finding, the current study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of LOLE in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). The results showed that treatment with LPS enhanced the inflammatory cell influx into the lungs and increased the number of macrophages and the secretion of the inflammatory cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice. However, these effects were notably abrogated with LOLE pretreatment. Furthermore, the increase of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in the lung tissues of mice with ALI was also reversed by LOLE. In addition, LOLE significantly suppressed the LPS-induced activation of the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway and led to heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction in the lungs. Additionally, in vitro experiments showed that LOLE enhanced the expression of HO-1 in RAW264.7 macrophages. The aforementioned findings collectively indicate that LOLE exerts an ameliorative effect on inflammatory response in the airway of ALI mice.

오늘날 비약적으로 발달한 의료 기술(Health Technology)은 병원에서 생성되는 데이터 외에도 사물 인터넷 기반의 의료기기를 통해 방대한 양의 데이터를 축적하고 있다. 수집된 데이터는 다양한 가치를 창출할 수 있는 원료가 되지만 우리 사회에는 의료 빅데이터를 활용하는데 근거가 되는 법적·제도적 장치가 미비한 상태다. 이에 본 연구에서는 빅데이터 기반 의료 산업의 활성화 방안을 모색하기 위해 의료 빅데이터의 활용을 저해하는 4가지 주요 요인을 살펴보았으며 그 외 국외 정책 및 기술적 동향을 파악해 국내 의료 빅데이터 활성화를 위한 시사점을 도출하였다. 연구결과 의료 빅데이터의 보안과 활용성 강화를 동시에 만족시키는 규제 체계의 개선 및 빅데이터 거버넌스의 구축이 필요하다는 결론이 도출되었으며 이를 위해 미국과 영국이 채택하고 있는 빅데이터 비식별화 가이드라인을 참고해 규제 체계를 정비할 것을 제안하였다. 향후 본 연구에서 도출한 결론 및 시사점의 구체적 활용 방안을 다룬 연구가 필요할 것으로 보이며 본 연구를 참고해 제도적 미비점을 보완한다면 의료 빅데이터를 유용하게 활용하는데 긍정적인 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

This study is an endeavor to evaluate the safety of medicines from heavy metals, prescribed on the basis of herbal medicinal system and oriental medical prescription which are circulated much recently. For that, three globular types, four extract granular types and four liquid types of herbal medicine were bought to compare and analyze the content of heavy metals, such as As, Pb, Cd and Hg, which are harmful to human body. The concentration of Pb was found to be 0.552 ppm in Sachiltang, 2.552 ppm in Anjungjogiwhan and 1.735 ppm in Cheongsangbohwawhan in case of pill type herbal medicine, and liquid type herbal medicine, Maekmundongtang was 0.002 ppm, Galgeuntang was 0.003 ppm, Sangwhatang was 0.004 ppm, 20jeon Daebotang was 0.0185 ppm. And the concentration of Pb was found to be 0.322 ppm in Banhasasimtang, 0.47 ppm in Eungjosan, 0.29 ppm in Yukmijihwangtang, 0.64 ppm in Socheongryongtang in case of granular type. It was found that the liquid types herbal medicines were relatively safer than three pill types of, four granular types of and four liquid types herbal medicines were tested for concentration of heavy metals. It is considered that is required in the stage of raw material treatment, manufacturing and packaging because those herbal medicines are directly taken in and absorbed into human body through the final treatment process.
