본 연구는 저온 상압 플라즈마 장치를 이용하여 구강점막질환을 일으키는 C. albicans 균을 효과적으로 사멸하기 위해 시행하였다. 조직에 적합하게 처리될 수 있도록 저온 상압 플라즈마 장치를 고안하고, 먼저 agar plate에 C. albicans 균을 처리하여 플라즈마를 조사한 결과 agar plate표면에 C. albicans 균을 처리 후 저온 상압 플라즈마 장치를 적용한 결과 60초 처리시 1.2 cm, 180초 처리시 1.4 cm, 300초 처리시 1.7 cm의 박테리아 생장 억제 구간이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 조직에서의 구강병원균 사멸 효과를 확인하기 위해 HRM-2 마우스 조직에 C. albicans 균을 처리하여 저온 상압 플라즈마를 조사 시 마우스 조직 표면에 C. albicans 균을 오염시켜 저온 상압 플라즈마 처리 후 CFU 방법으로 측정한 결과 300초간 1회 처리시 2 log CFU/ml, 300초간 2회 처리시 3 log CFU/ml, 300초간 3 회 처리시 6 log CFU/ml의 균 수 감소 효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다(p<0.05). 따라서, 저온의 저온 상압 플라즈마 장치는 효과적으로 구강 병원균을 사멸시킬 수 있으며, 구강점막질환 치료 장비로서 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The aims of this study were to encapsulate arbutin (AR) in liposome to enhance the skin-whitening activity, and to investigate the effect of liposome formulation on the entrapment efficiency (EE%), skin permeation rate and skin deposition. The liposomes were prepared by a film dispersion method with several different formulations and were separated from the solution by using the gel-filtration method. The physical (size distribution, morphology) and chemical (drug entrapment efficiency, hairless mouse skin permeation and deposition) properties of liposomes were characterized. The entrapment efficiency in all liposome formulations varied between 4.35% and 17.63%, and was dependent on the lipid content. The particle sizes of liposomes were in the range of $179.9{\sim}212.8\;nm$ in all liposome formulations. Although the permeation rate of AR in the liposome formulations decreased compared with AR solution, the deposition amount of AR in the epidermis/dermis layers increased in AR liposomal formulation. These results suggest that liposomal formulation could enhance the skin deposition of hydrophilic skin-whitening agents, thereby enhancing their activities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of $7-MEGA^{TM}$ 500 on the improvement of skin aging in an UVB-induced photo-aging model of hairless mice. The dorsal skin of hairless mice was exposed to UVB three times a week for 12 weeks to induce skin wrinkle. After inducing the wrinkle, $7-MEGA^{TM}$ 500 was orally administered once a day for 4 weeks. Skin thickness, skin barrier function, and wrinkle indicators were improved by treatment with $7-MEGA^{TM}$ 500. Both gene and protein expression levels of MMP-3 and c-Jun in skin were significantly decreased by $7-MEGA^{TM}$ 500. Therefore, the intake of $7-MEGA^{TM}$ 500 is thought to have a positive effect on the improvement of skin aging, although further studies are needed.

본 연구의 결과, TPA 종양촉진 시작과 함께 실험식이를 급여하였을 때, 장뇌삼은 대조군과 인삼군보다 낮은 피부종양발생수를 나타내었으며 종양발생률에서도 대조군과 인삼군에 비해 장뇌삼군에서 종양의 발생이 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, DMBA 종양개시 한 달 전부터 실험 종료 시까지 실험식이를 급여하였을 때는 대조군과 장뇌삼군에 비해 인삼군의 종양발생수가 감소된 것으로 나타나 인삼은 암 예방효능이 장뇌삼보다 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 장뇌삼과 인삼은 마우스 피부암이 아닌 다른 상피세포성 암에 대해서도 각각 이러한 효능을 보일 것인지에 대해서 후속연구가 요구되며 또한 앞으로 인삼과 장뇌삼의 유효성분을 발굴하고 이를 더욱 효과적으로 섭취할 수 있는 방법이 개발되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 아울러 질적으로 우수한 우리나라 장뇌삼과 인삼이 건강기능식품으로서 뿐만 아니라 암 예방과 암치료에 사용될 수 있는 대체의약품으로 개발되기 위해서는 실질적인 임상치료 연구와 더불어 보다 구체적인 과학적 기능 규명연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

In order to develope an optimum formulation for iontophoretic delivery of vitamine-C-2 phosphate. we have prepared 3 different formulations using hydrophilic polymers, such as poloxamer, carbo pol and HPMC and iontophoretic flux through skin from these hydrogel formulations was carried out. The effect of current density, drug concentration and current profile on flux was investigated. In-vitro flux study was performed at 36.5$^{\circ}C$, using side-by-side diffusion cell. Full-thickness hairless mouse skin was used for this work. (omitted)

The effect of a novel delivery system, water in oil emulsion containing chitosan hydrogel as a inner phase (W/O-C) was evaluated, and the relationships between the skin permeation, the skin primary irritation and the skin turnover rate of AHAs were discussed. We selected glycolic acid (GA), lactic acid (LA), malic acid (MA), and tartaric acid (TA) as model AHAs. The steady state fluxes of 4 AHAs across the excised hairless mouse skin increased as the molecular weights of the AHAs decreased. (GA>LA>MA>TA). The skin turnover times were shortened in all AHAs, compared with control. The skin permeation and the skin primary irritation of the LA decreased and the skin turnover time increased, as the pH increased. The maximum therapeutic index was obtained with pH 3.8, 0.5 M LA. It was suggested that the skin permeability of LA might be a main factor for prediction of the skin irritation and the skin turnover time. On the other hand, the W/O-C containing pH 3.8, 0.5 M LA indicated a good sustained release property of LA, compared with water in oil emulsion without chitosan hydrogel (W/O) or oil in water emulsion (O/W). The skin permeability and the skin irritation of AHAs from the W/O-C edcreased, compared with W/O or O/W, however the skin turnover time showed almost the same value as W/O or O/W. In conclusion, we suggest that the control of the skin permeation of AHAs would be an important tool for reducing the skin irritation and for maintaining the positive effect of AHAs, and the W/O-C system could be a potential candidate for future cosmetological application of AHAs.

While ultraviolet radiation alters various cutaneous cell functions, little is known about photo-immunological and photobiological effects of infrared radiation (IR) on the skin except its local thermal effects. The fIrst part of this study demonstrated that single exposure of mouse skin to near IR (0.7 - 1.3 $\mu$m) reversibly suppressed the proliferating activity of the epidermis, the density of Langerhans cells, and the ability of skin to induce contact hypersensitivity reaction. The second part demonstrated that the rate of wound closure was significantly accelerated by repeated exposures in animal models. The production of transforming growth factor-$\beta$l and matrix metalloproteinase-2, which are responsible for the wound healing processes, was significantly upregulated by irradiation, as shown by enzyme immunoassay, zymography, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Thermal controls were negative. The results suggest that near-IR irradiation can modulate the epidermal proliferation and part of the skin immune system, and stimulate the wound healing processes, presumably by non-thermal effects.

For transdermal delivery of ceramides, various liposomes formulations were studied and evaluated. Sodium deoxycholate (SDC), Tween 20 and Span 85 were used as edge activators. The skin permeation of ceramides was performed using a Franz cell apparatus with hairless mouse skin. Among edge activators, SDC showed the higher values of deformability index and skin permeation than did others. For optimization of formulations, we varied the ratios of lipids to edge activators and the compositions between phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ceramides. The optimal ratio of lipid to SDC was observed to be 6:1 (w:w) and that of PC and ceramide was 1:1. Our results suggest that the skin permeation of ceramides could be enhanced by optimized deformable formulations of liposomes containing SDC as a major edge activator.
