  • Adding tunability to biological light emitters offers an unprecedented technique in biological sensing and imaging. Here, we report a tunable, lithographic-free, planar, and ultrathin metal-insulator-metal (MIM) resonator capable of tuning the optical properties solely by a silk/sodium fluorescein hydrogel layer, a biocompatible light emitter. In water, the volume of the resonator was expanded by swelling, and then the resonant mode could be shifted. Simulations predicted the red-shifted resonance peak in transmission when the MIM was swollen in water. The red-shift could be attributed to the increase in the thickness of the silk hydrogel layer due to the absorbed water. The shift of the resonance could affect the fluorescence of the dye in the silk hydrogel layer.

  • The effect of dietary feeding of silk fibroin/sericinmixtureson the antioxidative status and glucose metabolism in high fat-fed mice was investigated. The mice weregiven experimental diets for 6 weeks: normal control (NC),high fat (HF) andhigh fat supplemented with F100 (pure fibroin, HF-F100), F81 (81:19 fibroin-sericin, w/w, HF-F81) or F50 (50:50 fibroin-sericin, w/w, HF-F50). The silk protein-fed mice showed decreased lipid peroxidation, enhancedantioxidant enzymesactivities and lower blood glucose level relative to HF group. The HF-F50 animals exhibited significantly lower insulin level, higher glycogen concentration, enhanced hepatic glucokinaseactivity and reduced glucose-6-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxynaseactivities than the HF ones. The $in$ $vivo$ antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic action tended to increase with increased amount of sericin and decreased fibroin content in the diet. These findings demonstrate that silk protein, particularly sericin, may be beneficial in suppressing high fat diet-induced hyperglycemiaand oxidative stress.

  • 가잠과 천잠 및 작잠의 실크 단백질 분획물로부터 피부섬유아세포에 대한 증식 효과를 알아본 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 가잠 및 천${\cdot}$작잠 단백질로부터 다양한 분자량대의 실크 단백질을 순수 분리 분획화 하여 사람 피부세포(human skin fibroblast; CCD-986sk)에 기계적 상처를 준 후 처리한 결과, 평균분자량(Mw)이 300-500 및 950-1500 분획군이 세포 증식에 뛰어난 효과가 있음을 확인${\cdot}$선발하였다. 2. 가잠의 경우 평균 분자량 590(BM-1), 1400(BM-2)에서, 천잠은 340(AY-1), 940(AY-2), 작잠에서는 300(AP-1), 1440(AP-2)에서 $10\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리했을 경우 피부섬유 아세포의 증식이 무처리구에 비하여 40% 이상의 증식 효과를 갖았다. 또한 유효 농도 범위에서 대식세포인 RAW 264.7 세포에 대해서는 세포독성을 지니지 않았다. 3. 아미노산 조성에 있어 저분자량 AY-1 분획의 전아미노산 및 유리아미노산은 Tyr 함량이 매우 높게(25-48 g/100g)나타났으며, 작잠의 저분자 분획인 AP-1에서는 Lys 함량이 높게(5.2 g/100g) 나타남을 확인하였다. 4. 동일한 실크 단백질일 경우 저분자량 분획물에서 피부 세포 증식에 좀 더 효과적이였다.

  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in gene expression after incubation of cells with soluble fraction from different silk mat layers. A silk cocoon from Bombyx mori was separated into 4 layers of equal thickness. The layers were numbered from 1 to 4 (from the inner to outer layer). Each silk mat was placed into normal saline and collected soluble fraction. They were administered to RAW264.7 cells, and changes in the expression of genes were evaluated by cDNA microarray analysis. Layer 1 and 4 groups showed significantly higher expression of BMP-2 at 8 h after administration of soluble fraction (P < 0.05). Runx2 expression was significantly higher in Layer 4 group at 8h (P < 0.05). The silk mat from the innermost and outermost portion of the silkworm cocoon showed a significant change in the expression of genes that are associated with osteoinduction such as BMP-2 and runx2.

  • Three kinds of acrylic polymers containing silk protein were synthesized, which are (1) blending of silk fibroin (SF) fiber and polyacrylonitrile (PAN); (2) graft-copolymer of PAN onto SFs; (3) random-copolymer synthesized by copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and silk fibroin peptide (SFP) with vinyl groups, and their solubility, thermal property, and moisture absorption was investigated, respectively. These polymers have difference solubility and attributable to their structure. Their excellent thermal stabilities and better moisture absorptions were indicated.

  • Recently, natural fiber reinforced composite is attracting attention and considered as an environmentally friendly material. Usually cellulosic fibers are used to reinforce the composites, but some protein fibers such as silk and wool serve the same purpose. In this paper, we proposed a method of producing artistic composite from artistic fabric by using silk fiber reinforced biodegradable plastic, which is designated as 'silk composite', for reinforcement. In order to expand applications of the silk composite, we performed the compression molding of decorative laminates with woody material, which was selected as a core material, and examined the properties of molded decorative laminates with various content of the silk composite. Since plywood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) are widely used for decorative laminates, we selected them as core materials. As a result, flexible decorative laminates with high flexural strength were obtained by compounding the silk composite with wood materials.

  • 본 연구는 견사중의 Cystine 성분을 가잠전과정을 통하여 기존재를 확인하고 견사구조중에서 cross linkage를 조성하고 있음을 확인하는데 있으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Cystine 결정체를 Folin 씨 방법으로 견사로부터 분리하였다. 2. 견사 및 그와 관련있는 과정에서 Sullivan 씨 방법으로 다음과 같이 분석하였다. 시료 Cystine 함유량 % A. 상엽단백질 0.175 B.잠란 0.33 C. 잠체 (탈지, 숙잠, 견사선제외) 0.41 D. 견사선 (숙잠) 1.23 E. 잠 0.0 F. 잠통 (탈지) 0.30 G. 잠아 (탈지) 0.60 H. 생계 0.22 I. Fibroin 0.175 J. Sericin 0.30 3. 잠체내의 Cystine 존재는 상엽에서 0.175%, 견사선에서 0.12%의 Methionine을 확인함으로 생화학적의의와 더불어 재확인하였다. 4. 견사선내의 Sulfhydryl 화합물은 Sericin과 Methionine으로 전환하는 동시에 전자는 액상견으로 분비되어 견사를 구성하고 후자는 영양목적으로 견사선세포 육성에 사용되는 것으로 믿어진다. 5. Cystine 성분량은 상품종, 잠품종, 자웅성, 육종과정과 사육환경에 따라 변화한다. 6. 잡종강세로 육성된 교잡종은 원잠종보다 효과적인 성장을 위하여 더욱 많은 영양성 아미노산을 필요로 한다. 7. 여기한 관찰을 통하여 견사중 아미노산조성은 어느정도 변화하는 것이며 Cystine은 섬유의 무정형부분 특히 Sericin에 함유되고 있다. 8. 순수한 Cystine 또는 양모 Cystine을 첨식한 결과 하등의 이익점을 초래하지 못하였음으로 상엽중에 함유되어있는 Cystine과 Methionine 함유량은 잠아의 영양생리에 충분한 것으로 보인다. 9. 견사중의 disulfide cross linkage는 Harris 씨 방법과 여러가지 염류와 산에 의한 수축현상으로 확인하였고 양모와 대조하여 시험하였다. 10. 본 연구중 견사의 사상구조와 액상견의 입망상구조를 현미경으로 포착하였다. 액상견의 입망상은 입상 peptide의 OH ion과 물의 H ion의 인력관계로 형성되고 있다는 것을 기 film의 배열상태로 고찰하게 되었고 상엽단백질의 입망상은 견사의 사상형성에 적당한 사료임을 보이고 있다. 11. 본 논문을 통한 Cystine 존재는 비록 그 량이 적지마는 견사중의 Cystine 전무에 대한 종래관념을 전환시킬 것이다.

  • The silk fibre Produced by the larvae of the lepidopter of the Bombyx mori species is no doubt one of the most precious raw materials employed in manufacturing textile products. The present report, however, deals with silk not as a traditional textile fibre, but as a starting material fer biomedical applications. In recent years, the unique chemical and mechanical properties of silk have made this protein polymer highly attractive for innovative applications, which mainly focus on the development of devices for biomedical uses.
