The purpose of this study is to fabricate an ophthalmic lens by copolymerizing two types of carbon nanotubes and hydrophilic hydrogel lens materials, and to investigate its application as an ophthalmic lens material by analyzing its physical properties and antimicrobial effect. For polymerization, HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), a crosslinking agent, and AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile), an initiator, are used as a basic combination, and a single-walled carbon nanotube and a single-walled, carboxylic-acid-functionalized carbon nanotube are used as additives. To analyze the physical properties, the water content, refractive index, breaking strength, and antimicrobial effect of the fabricated lenses are measured. The fabricated lenses satisfies all the basic properties of the basic hydrogel ophthalmic lens. The water content increases with increasing amount of additive and decreases with addition of 0.2 % ratio of nanoparticles. The refractive index is inversely proportional to the water content result. As a result of the antimicrobial test of the fabricated lens, the addition of carbon nanotubes shows an excellent antimicrobial effect. Therefore, it is considered that the fabricated lens can be applied as a functional material for basic ophthalmic hydrogel lenses.

콘텍트렌즈용 하이드로젤의 계면 특성의 이해를 위해 단백질 흡착 현상을 열역학을 바탕으로 연구하였다. 다른 습윤성을 갖는 $1{\times}1mm^2$ 크기의 하이드로젤을 알부민(bovine serum albumin, BSA)용액에 1시간 동안 침지시킨 후 남아있는 BSA 용액의 농도를 Bradford assay로 정량하였다. 모든 하이드로젤로의 단백질 흡착량은 단백질 농도가 증가함에 따라 계면 흡착량이 증가하며 Langmuir 곡선의 형태를 보였다. 또한 계면과 용액내의 단백질 농도비($P$), 계산된 흡착 Gibbs free energy는 하이드로젤 재료의 친수성도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 표면에너지와 단백질 흡착량 상관관계를 이해하여 콘택트렌즈 재질로의 단백질 흡착현상의 물리화학적 해석이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

This study evaluated the physical and optical characteristics of hydrophilic ophthalmic polymer with addition of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine in the basic hydrogel ophthalmic lens material, and in particular, the utility of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine as an ophthalmic contact lens material for ophthalmologic devices was investigated. In this study 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine were used as additives. For the preparation of hydrogel lens 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid and a cross-linker EGDMA were copolymerized in the presence of AIBN as an initiator. The physical properties of the produced polymers were measured as followings. The refractive index of 1.433~1.393, water content of 35.95~53.16%, contact angle of $70.6{\sim}51.24^{\circ}$, UVB transmittance of 81.2~82.4%, UV-B transmittance of 81.2~82.4% and visible transmittance of 91.4~92.2% were obtained. Also, in case of protein absorption, the measurement showed that absorbance of Reference and MPC-10 sample was 0.2598 and 0.2250 respectively. Based on the results of this study, ophthalmic lens material containing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine is expected to be used usefully as a material for high wettability and inhibitor of protein adsorption for ophthalmic hydrogel lens.

This study was planned to prepare the high strength hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing isocyanate group and nanoparticles. HDI with carbon nanoparticles were used as additives for the basic combination of HEMA, MA and MMA, and the materials were copolymerized with EGDMA as the cross-linking agent and AIBN as the initiator. The mixture was heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for an hour to produce the high performance hydrogel ophthalmic lens by cast mold method. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the produced material showed that the refractive index was in the range of 1.4027~1.4600, water content 25.21~44.01%, contact angle $54.18{\sim}72.94^{\circ}$, visible light transmittance 53.03~92.09%, and tensile strength 0.1024~0.2359 kgf and breaking strength was 0.0872~0.2825 kgf. The results showed an increase of refractive index while the decrease in water content. And also, the breaking strength was highest when the addition ratio of HDI was 5%(wt). As a result of the absorbance measurement, no significant difference was observed in all the samples, so it can be judged that the stabilization of nanoparticles in the polymer was maintained.

신생혈관 형성은 세포의 성장 및 상처 치유 과정에서 중요한 현상이다. 그러나 성장인자의 불균형은 시각 및 면역질환과 같은 다양한 질환을 야기한다. 이러한 질환을 치료하는 방법 중 신생혈관 형성을 억제하는 것이 중요한 방법 중 하나이다. AuNPs의 기능과 기전이 신생혈관 형성에 있어서 아직 밝혀진 바가 없다. 현재 PEDF가 항신생혈관 형성 물질로 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서 우리는 AuNPs가 BRECs에서 VEGF로 유도된 세포의 증식 및 이동, 신생혈관의 형성을 억제하였고 이는 세포의 성장과 침윤 및 전이와 관련된 신생혈관 형성을 억제한다고 사료된다.

콘택트렌즈용 하이드로젤로의 단백질 흡착량을 시간에 따라 분석하여 계면으로 확산되는 단백질 흡착 반응속도를 연구하였다. HEMA(hydroxyethylmethacrylate)계열 하이드로젤과 silicone계열 하이드로젤을 단백질(알부민 또는 IgG)용액에 침지시킨 후 단백질 흡착량을 시간에 따라 측정하였다. 모든 하이드로젤로의 단백질 흡착량은 단시간(10분)에 급격히 증가한 후 90분 동안 변화 없이 일정하였다. 빠른 단백질 분자의 확산에도 불구하고 계면에너지 감소는 한 시간 이상 진행되는데 이는 계면 탈수 현상이 한 시간 이상 진행되기 때문으로 이해된다. 계면에너지와 단백질 흡착량의 상관관계를 이해하여 콘택트렌즈 재질로의 단백질 흡착 반응 속도의 메커니즘을 분석하였다.

BACKGROUD: ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$- Endosulfan isomers of endosulfan, an endocrine disrupting chemical, are widely used cyclodiene organochlorine pesticide in worldwide, and it has widespread application in agriculture and can contaminate river-system as runoff from soil or aerial deposition METHOD AND RESULTS: In this study, an attempt was made to isolate an endosulfan degrading fungus from endosulfan-polluted agricultural soil. Through repetitive enrichment and successive subculture in media containing endosulfan and its metabolites as the sole carbon source, a fungus designated KEF-1 was isolated. Based on phylogenetic analysis, strain KEF-1 was assigned to the genus Eutypella. Also, the ITS (internal transcribed spacer) sequences of KEF-1 were submitted to GenBank under accession number EF581006. In potato dextrose broth containing 8 ${\mu}g$/mL endosulfan, strain KEF-1 completely degraded the endosulfanin 12 days. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that Eutypella sp. KEF-1 has potential as a biocatalyst for endosulfan bioremediation

Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, and camphorquinone were used as the main material, cross-linking agent, and photoinitiator, respectively. In addition, 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate was used as an additive for high strength, while the 3-hydroxypyridine was used as an additive for antibacterial activity. Photopolymerization was also carried out at a 440-480 nm wavelength and at about $1000mW/cm^2$ intensity for about 40 seconds. The breaking strength measurement of the samples showed that the breaking strength increased along with increasing the addition ratio of IEM, while it took less time until the polymerization was complete, thereby suggesting that the degree of polymerization has the tendency to increase. And also, compared to the size of the clear zone formed by ampicillin, the 3-hydroxypyridine group exhibited antimicrobial activity induced by ampicillin. The results of this study suggest that the use of 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate as an additive for high strength and 3-hydroxypyridine as an additive for improved antibacterial activity would improve the usability of the fabricated polymer as a dental resin cement material with high functionality.
