본 연구는 토복령 추출물의 여드름 균에 대한 항균활성 및 방부효과를 측정하여 최근 논란이 되고 있는 합성방부제의 대체 가능한 천연 항균 추출물의 개발을 위해 연구하였다. 토복령은 국내산으로 건조한 후 증류수와 95% EeOH 두 가지 용매를 각각 사용하여 실온에서 추출하였다. 그 결과 2종 P ropionibacterium acnes 3314, Propionibacterium acnes 3320의 여드름 균에 대한 항균 효과가 매우 우수하였으며, 특히 증류수 추출물의 clear zone이 16.61 mm로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 또 피부오염 군집을 채취한 결과에서는 24.48 mm의 clear zone을 보여 토복령 추출물은 여드름균에 대한 항균 활성뿐 아니라 그 외 피부 상재균에 대한 항균 활성도 높음을 알 수 있었다. 이 상의 결과로 토복령 추출물은 항균효능 및 방부 효능을 갖는 화장품 원료로서의 가능을 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 천연 방부제 개발을 위한 기초 연구 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Acne, one of the most common skin disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease and is caused by uncertain and multiple factors. Propionibacterium acnes belongs to the human cutaneous normal flora and is a major etiologic agent of acne vulgaris. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial effect of 19 medicinal plants. Antibacterial activity of extracts prepared from the 19 medicinal plants was investigated against bacteria related to acnes, Propionibacterium acnes. Among them, some medicinal plants inhibited the growth of the P. acnes. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Polygonum aviculare (Herb) was 0.2 mg/ml against P. acnes. MIC of Dianthus chinensis (Aerial Part), Forsythia viridissima (Fruit), Lygodium japonicum (Spore) and Sophora flavescens (Root) were 0.4 mg/ml. Based on these results, Polygonum aviculare (Herb), Dianthus chinensis (Aerial Part), Forsythia viridissima (Fruit), Lygodium japonicum (Spore) and Sophora flavescens (Root) may be considered as a candidate for a good medicine for acne.

Lactobacillus acidophilus KCCM 32820과 Propionibacterium freudenreichii KCCM 31227을 MRS, RCM, MRS와 RCM 합성배지 및 whey broth에 배양하여 OD(Optical Density), pH, 총산도, 생균수 등의 생육특성을 조사하였다. L. acidophilus KCCM 32820을 NRS 배지에서 배양시 균 증식, 총산도 값의 증가율 및 pH 저하율은 9-21시간에 가장 컸으며, P. freudenreichii KCCM 31227을 RCM 배지에서 배양시에는 균의 증식, 총산도 값의 증가율 및 pH 저하율은 24-60시간에 가장 컸다. 또한 합성배지에서 P. freudenreichii KCCM 31227의 pH와 총산도 변화는 18-54시간에 가장 높았다. When broth에서는 L. acidophilus KCCM 32820이 P. freudenreichii KCCH 31227보다 균의 성장이 좋았으며, 두 균 모두 6%보다 12% whey broth에서, 고압증기멸균보다 저온살균한 whey broth에서 높은 균수를 나타냈고, 저온살균한 12% whey broth에서 증식이 가장 높았다.

유기산 생산을 위한 Propionibacterium acidipropionici의 발효 특성을 규명하기 위하여 ATCC 4965, 4875, 25562의 세 균주를 선별하였다. 세포 성장에 따른 발효 실험에서는 Peptone, Yeast extract, pH별로 실시되었으며, 각각 1.5 %, 0.75%, $5.5{\sim}7.5$에서 유기산 생산성이 최적으로 나타났다. 회분식 발효결과 세 균주 모두 pH 6.0에서 유기산 수율과 생산성이 pH 7.0에 비해 더 높았으며, 그 중에서도 P.acidipropionci ATCC4965균주가 유기산 생산성이 0.29g total acids/L/h로 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

According to the traditional chinese herbal Cuscuta japonica Choisy and C. australis R.Be (original plant of Semen Cuscutae in Korea) have been used to cure pimple. In order to prove their bacteriostatic effects against Propionibacterium acnes, we performed the micro broth dilution method. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of C. japonica juice was 27.3 mg/ml, but C. australis juice showed no effect. The MIC of water extracted C. japonica seed and Wontosa and Bupjetosa were $960\;{\mu}g/ml$. The MIC of both water and ethanol extracts of C. australis seed was $9240\;{\mu}g/ml$. But ethanol extracts of C. japonicaseeds, Wontosa and Bupjetosa had no bacteriostatic activity. We also performed the disk diffusion test, C. japonica juice had prominent effect. Water extracts of C. japonica seed, Wontosa and Bupjetosa showed bacterio-static effect in 10 mg/ml, and C. australis seed in 10 mg/ml. The ethanol extract of C. japonica seed, Wontosa and Bupjetosa, and C. australis seed showed bacteriostatic effect in 20 mg/ml.

The authors present a case of subdural empyema in a macrocephalic patient. A 23-year-old male was admitted due to headache and fever. One month ago, he had mild head injury by his coworkers. Physical examination showed a macrocephaly and laboratory findings suggested purulent meningitis. Neuroimaging studies revealed a huge size of epidural space-occupying lesion. Under the impression of epidural abscess, operation was performed. Eventually, the lesion was located at subdural space and was proven to be subdural empyema. Later, histological examination of the specimen obtained by surgery demonstrated finings consistent with the capsule of the chronic subdural hematoma. Two weeks after operation, Propionibacterium acnes was isolated. The intravenous antibiotics were used for total of eight weeks under monitoring of the serum level of the C-reactive protein. Follow-up brain computed tomography (CT) scan showed the presence of significant amount of remaining subdural lesion. However, he has complained of minimal discomfort. It is suggested that the subdural empyema occurred with preexisting chronic subdural hematoma after head injury about one month prior to admission and it took a long time to treat Propionibacterium acnes subdural empyema with systemic antibiotics, at least over eight weeks.

Propionibacterium acnes infection in skin tissue often causes acne vulgaris, commonly characterized by inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules. Chitosan and its derivatives possess strong anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the anti-inflammatory activity of chitosan-phytochemical conjugates on P. acnes-infected human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT) was evaluated. We designed a model of P. acnes-induced inflammation in viable HaCaT cells. Nitric oxide (NO), an inflammatory marker, was successfully elevated by P. acnes infection in HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the levels of NO were reduced by treatment with chitosan-phytochemical conjugates (chitosan-caffeic acid, -ferulic acid and -sinapic acid) in a dose-dependent manner. Among these conjugates, chitosan-caffeic acid exhibited the strongest NO suppression in HaCaT cells infected with P. acnes. The results obtained in this study suggest that chitosan-phytochemical conjugates could be used as a potential therapeutic agent against acne vulgaris.

Antibodies to Propionibacterium acnes(Corynebacterium parvum) serotype I and serotype II in normal human sera were measured using a microtitre bacterial agglutination test. Of 168 sera tested, 53 sera(31.0%) exhibited higher agglutinin titres to serotype I than to serotype II and 34 sera(20.2%) gave higher titers to serotype II than to serotype I. Eighty-one sera(48.3%), however, showed similar antibody titres to both types. Antibodies to serotype I(x) and serotype II(y) showed high correlation(r=0.73, p<0.01) and regression equation was Y=1,078+0.73X. The mean antibody titre($log_2$) of 529 normal sera(male 447 and female 82) to serotype I was $5.49{\pm}1.36$, but there was no significant difference between male($5.45{\pm}1.36$) and female($5.74{\pm}1.36$). Bacterial agglutinin to Propionibacterium acnes in normal sera belonged to a 2-mercaptoethanol resistant IgG class.

Propionibacterium acnes is the pharmacological target site of antiacne drugs. We have examined the antiacne activity of ninety seven natural products which have been used as Korean traditional medicines in various skin disorders. The antibacterial activity of extracts from the natural products were evaluated against P. acnes ATCC 9616 by disc method. Twelve natural products showed the potent antibacterial activity against P. acnes, and were, selected for the minimal inhibitory concentration(MC) against P. acnes. MICs of nine extracts were below 0.3% (w/v) and Sophora flavescens showed the most potent activity with a MIC of less than 0.008%(w/v) against P. acnes. Thus, the results suggest that nine natural products including S. flavescens can be developed as sources of promising potent antiacne agents.

[ $10\%$ ] 유청배지에 Lactobacillus acidophilus와 Propionibacterium freudereichii를 혼합 배양할 때 유청 발효물 중의 생균수의 변화, 유당 소모량, 프로피온산과 초산생성량 등을 측정하였고, 유청 발효물을 식빵 제조에 일정량 첨가하여 식빵의 부피, 조직감, 보존성 등을 분석하였다. 4일 배양동안 L. acidophilus의 생균수는 배양 36시간에 $2.4\ties10^9$ cfu/mL, P. freudenreichii는 배양 96시간에 $9.42\times10^8$ cfu/mL로 최대값을 나타냈고 L. acidophilus가 P. freudenreichii보다 빠르게 증식하였다. 유당의 소모율은 $87.5\%$이었고, 4일 배양 후 프로피온산은 18.5g/L, 초산은 4.8g/L 생성되었으며 그 비율은 3.8:1이었다. 식빵의 부피는 유청 발효물을 많이 첨가할수록 작았으나 조직감은 유청 발효물이 많이 첨가될수록 낮은 경도 값으로 부드럽게 나타났으며, 보존성은 유청 발효물을 $10\%$첨가하였을 때 대조구에 비하여 2일 이상의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
