  • 발수가공은 섬유표면에 낮은 표면에너지 물질을 도포하여 섬유제품에 적심 저항성을 부여하는 것으로 일반적인 방법으로는 불소계 고분자 물질을 포함한 가공제액을 부여하고 열에너지원을 사용하여 섬유 표면에 경화하여 고착시키고 처리온도는 $150{\sim}170^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 수 분 처리하지만 처리시간을 증가하면 섬유에 황변을 일으킬 수 있고 직물의 한 면에만 발수성을 구현하기가 어렵다. 피부와 접촉하는 부위에서의 불필요한 발수성은 땀 흡수저하, 알러지 발생 우려 등 쾌적성 저하 요인이 될수 있어 스포츠, 레저 의류 분야에서는 섬유제품의 일면만을 발수처리 하는 가공이 필요되어진다. 편면 발수가공을 위한 선행기술로는 상하 중 하나의 롤러에만 발수제를 묻혀 섬유제품의 일면에만 발수가공을 하는 것과 분사기로 발수제를 섬유제품의 일면에 도포하는 것 등이 있다. 하지만 일면에 처리된 발수제가 반대면으로 침투하거나 균일한 발수처리가 되지 않는 등의 문제점이 있고 발수제의 농도증가 및 증점제를 사용하여 점도를 증가시켜야하기 때문에 발수처리의 균일성 및 내구성 있는 편면발수공정이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 UV경화가 가능한 불소계 발수제와 물에 용해되는 광개시제가 첨가된 수용액을 PET직물에 패딩하고 UV로 경화하여 양면 모두 발수성을 부여한 후 UV조사로 표면개질하여 표면친수성을 증가시켜 양 면의 발수성을 조절하였다.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Platycodon grandiflorum (PG), an oriental herbal medicine, has been known to improve liver function, and has both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, little is known about the immune-enhancing effects of PG and its mechanism. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether fermented PG extract (FPGE), which has increased platycodin D content, activates the immune response in a murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7. MATERIALS/METHODS: Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and the nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured using Griess reagent. Cytokine messenger RNA levels of were monitored by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying immunomodulatory actions of FPGE in RAW 264.7 cells, we have conducted luciferase reporter gene assay and western blotting. RESULTS: We found that FPGE treatment induced macrophage cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. FPGE also modulated the expression of NO and pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. The activation and phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were increased by FPGE treatment. Moreover, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide, an activator of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), significantly reduced both lipopolysaccharides- and FPGE-induced NF-κB reporter gene activity. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our findings suggest that FPGE may be a novel immune-enhancing agent acting via AMPK-NF-κB signaling pathway.

  • We investigated the selective deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) adsorption on layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles via studying the interaction between positively charged LDH nanoparticle as adsorbent and negatively charged adsorbates such as methyl orange (MO), fluorescein (FL), and DNA strands. The size controlled LDH $(Mg_{0.78}Al_{0.22}(OH)_2(CO_3)_{0.11}{\cdot}mH_2O)$ was prepared by conventional coprecipitation method, followed by the hydrothermal treatment. According to the adsorption isotherms, the adsorbed amounts of MO and FL were similar, however, that of DNA were much larger. The adsorption behaviors were well fitted to Freundlich adsorption model. The concentration dependent adsorption behavior on LDH surface was described in order to verify the selective DNA separation ability. The result showed that the LDH has advantages in selective adsorption of DNA competing with single molecular anions.

  • UV-induced surface copolymerization has been widely applied as a simple, useful and versatile approach to improve the surface properties of textiles. C.I. Reactive Black 5 and acrylic acid (AA) were continuously grafted onto cotton by UV irradiation. The photografting may occur by the copolymerization of AA with the vinylsulfone reactive dye which photochemically converted from the bissulfatoethylsulfone reactive group. The graft yield and color yield were influenced by UV energy, the dye and photoinitiator concentrations, a mole ratio of AA to dye, and pH. The coloration of cotton fabrics having a K/S of 7.0 can be obtained under a UV irradiation energy of 15$J/cm^2$ by the photografting of an aqueous alkaline formulation of 6% dye concentration containing 3% photoinitiator concentration on the weight of monomers, and a 3:1 mole ratio addition of AA to the dye. Furthermore, the photochemically dyed cotton fabrics showed comparable washing (staining) and rubbing fastness to conventional reactive dyeing method except shade change in the wash fastness and light fastness.

  • Compared with conventional adsorption-based coloration, the photoreactions of dyes such as photo-copolymerization and photo-crosslinking under UV irradiation can be employed for the coloration of textiles, which can be carried out without salt addition at room temperature. C.I. Reactive Black 5, a homo-bifunctional reactive dye containing two sulfatoethylsulfone groups, is used as a photo-reactive dye for wool fibers. Upon UV irradiation, the photo-reactive dye was grafted onto wool fabrics without photoinitiators. Since the disulfide bonds in the cystine residues of wool can be easily photodecomposed to active thiyl radicals which initiate the polymerization, the dye can be polymerized to an oligomeric dye of a degree of polymerization of 12 or more. The grafted fabrics reached a grafting yield of 2.3% o.w.f. and a color yield (K/S) of 18.2 by the photografting of an aqueous dye concentration of 9% using a UV energy of 25J/$cm^2$. Furthermore, the photochemically dyed wool fabric showed higher colorfastness properties to light, laundering and rubbing comparable to conventional reactive dyeing.

  • This study assessed gender differences of 'solo eating' perceptions and dietary behaviors among college students residing in Seoul and Kyongki province. Two types of questionnaires were used to analyze perception and dietary behaviors of subjects: a cross-sectional survey (N=893) and AGA (Associative Group Analysis; N=50). Women ate significantly more and intook a greater variety of foods when eating together (P<0.05). Men, on the other hand, showed no difference in these variables. Women, compared to men, spent more time eating both alone and together (P<0.001). In the associative group analysis (AGA), women showed a different semantic value for 'solo eating' compared to men. Women also tended to feel lonely when they ate alone and had positive images of eating together. Students began to decide their own dietary behaviors after junior and high school. Dietary lives of Koreans have rapidly changed along with social changes over the past half century. These research findings will contribute to more comprehensive and efficient nutrition education programs for preventing lifestyle-related diseases in the early stage of adulthood.

  • 폴리에스테르는 많은 분야에서 응용되어 사용되어지고 있으나 최근 더욱 우수한 물성이 각 분야에서 요구되어 지고 있다. Poly (ethylene naphthalate)(PEN)는 PET 주쇄의 벤젠고리에 나프탈렌으로 치환되어 강직성이 강화되어 PET보다 약 $50^{\circ}C$정도 높은 $T_g(117^{\circ}C)$$10^{\circ}C$정도 높은 $T_m(265^{\circ}C)$을 가져서 열적 안정성, 고강도와 저신도를 갖는다. PEN은 상대적으로 우수한 내열성과 환경호르몬을 포함하지 않아 인체에 무해하다는 이점 때문에 수유병이나 머그컵으로도 사용되어질 수 있다. 또한 탄산음료 용 bottle이나 맥주 bottle등은 높은 barrier성이 요구되어지기 때문에 PET에 비해 약 5배 높은 barrier 성을 가지는 PEN을 블렌드하여 사용하기도 한다. PEN의 내열성 및 기계적 강도를 더욱 우수하게 하고자 고분자 사슬을 가교할 수 있는데, 가교에는 열처리 또는 감마선, 전자선, 자외선 조사를 이용할 수 있는데 열에 의한 가교는 균일한 열전달과 고온이 필요하며 감마선 및 전자선 조사는 설비의 고비용과 방사선 노출 위험으로 인해 비친환경적이다. 반면에 자외선 조사법은 다루기 쉽고 비용이 적게 들고 친환경적인 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 PEN film의 열안정성과 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 자외선 조사를 이용하여 PEN film의 광가교를 수행하였다.

  • Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is one of the most widely used materials in textile industry. It can have a low cost, silk-like handle, and excellent mechanical properties. Low thermal stability of PET had been a common problem limiting its high temperature application. The polyester have been known to have the disadvantage of degradation under ionized irradiation compared to crosslikable polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystylene. To improve thermal stability of PET, the PET films were photocrosslinked by UV irradiation. A hydrogen-abstractable photoinitiator was used to photocrosslink of PET by continuous UV irradiation. Photoinitiator addition increased the gel fraction. The photocrosslinking was attributed to the recombination of PET radicals generated upon UV irradiation, which was enhanced by the hydrogen abstraction of the PET polymer chains by the added photoinitiator. Also the crosslinked PET showed higher thermal stability and mechanical strength with increasing UV energy. Polyester type films such as poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) and poly(butylene terephthalte)(PBT) were also increased the gel fraction and improved thermal stability and mechanical properties by UV irradiation.

  • 인체 보형물의 생체 재료로 사용할 목적으로 히아루론산 비드를 제조하였다. 히아루론산 수용액과 콩기름을 섞어서 얻어진 현탁상태에서 히아루론산을 1,3-butadiene diepoxide로 가교시켰다. 제조된 비드의 물성을 살펴보기 위해 직경, 표면적과 팽윤도를 측정하였고 전자현미경으로 표면상태를 관찰하였다. 가교제의 농도가 $5-12\;vol\%$ 범위에서 비드가 형성되었으며 제조된 비드는 단순분산성을 보였다. 히아루론산 농도 혹은 가교제 농도가 증가할수록, 가교 온도가 감소할수록, BET표면적과 팽윤도가 감소하였다. 혼합속도의 변화에 의해 비드의 물성은 거의 변하지 않았으나 비드의 크기는 효과적으로 조절되었다.

  • In this study, we evaluated the immune-enhancing activity of kimchi-derived Lactobacillus plantarum 200655 on immune suppression by cyclophosphamide (CP) in ICR mice. Animals were fed distilled water or 1×109 colony-forming unit/kg B.W. 200655 or Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG as a positive control for 14 days. An in vivo model of immunosuppression was induced using CP 150 and 100 mg/kg B.W. at 7 and 10 days, respectively. Body weight, spleen index, spleen weight, and gene expression were measured to estimate the immune-enhancing effects. The dead 200655 (D-200655) group showed an increased spleen weight compared to the sham control (SC) group. Similarly, the spleen index was significantly higher than that in the CP-treated group. The live 200655 (L-200655) group showed an increased mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 in splenocytes. Also, the iNOS and COX-2 mRNA expression was upregulated in the L-200655 group compared to the CP-only (SC) group. The phosphorylation of ERK and MAPK was also upmodulated in the L-200655 group. These results indicate that L. plantarum 200655 ameliorated CP-induced immune suppression, suggesting that L. plantarum 200655 may have the potential to enhance the immune system.
