The inhibitory effect of the aerial parts of Fagopyrum esculentum on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The n-butanol fraction from the methanol extract of title plant showed stronger inhibitory effect than other fractions on DPPH radical. Two flavonoids were isolated from n-butanol fraction having the potent activity and elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside on the basis of spectral evidence. The $IC_{50}$ values of these compounds on DPPH radical were 6.56 ${\mu}M$ and 8.37 ${\mu}M$, respectively.

The methanolic extract of Glycine maxim increased the expression of the promoter in B16 mouse melanoma cells harboring a tyrosinase promoter. Extract concentrations of 10 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ and 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ resulted in tyrosinase promoter expression rates of approximately 113% and 184%, respectively, as compared to the control. The fraction layers consisting of butyl alcohol and methylene chloride improved expression effects on the tyrosinase promoter. In particular, the butyl alcohol fraction evidenced a high expression rate at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. In the MTT assay, the methanolic extract did not evidence cytotoxicity at concentrations under 500 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Therefore, the results observed with the extract of Glycine maxim showed that the substance exerted a positive effect on the tyrosinase promoter.

In this study, a dye bath was made using a mixture of distilled water, pine needle extract and bamboo vinegar. Analysis and comparison of various functions of cotton fabrics dyed using bamboo charcoal and gardenia seeds in distilled water and in the dye bath mixture were done. The summary of the results is as follows. Comparing bamboo vinegar and the pine needle extracts, the bamboo vinegar had a higher antibacterial function. In the case of natural dyeing cotton fabrics using bamboo charcoal and gardenia seeds, the additional amount of dyestuff for optimization is 10 g and 20 g respectively per 1 liter of distilled water. The suitable dye bath mixture ratio of distilled water, pine needle extract, and bamboo vinegar considering functionality and economical efficiency of dyed fabrics is 4:3:3. By using the mixture made in this study as a dye bath, improved antibacterial function, deodorization, and colorfastness can be obtained more than distilled water alone.

In this study, we found that the methanolic extract of Areca catechu repressed expression of the tyrosinase gene in B16 mouse melanoma cells containing a tyrosinase promoter. Extract concentrations of 100 ${\mu}$g/ml and 500 ${\mu}$g/ml exhibited tyrosinase gene expression rates of aproximately 62% and 48%, respectively, compared to the control. The fraction layers consisting of ethyl acetate, butyl alcohol, and water showed repressive effects on the tyrosinase gene. In particular, the butyl alcohol fraction highly repressed at 100 ${\mu}$g/ml and 500 ${\mu}$g/ml. In the MTT assay, the methanolic extracts exhibited very low cytotoxicities at 1 ${\mu}$g/ml, 10 ${\mu}$g/ml, and 100 ${\mu}$g/ml.

From December 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia (formerly known as the 2019 novel Coronavirus [2019-nCoV]) broke out in Wuhan, China. In this study, we present serial CT findings in a 40-year-old female patient with COVID-19 pneumonia who presented with the symptoms of fever, chest tightness, and fatigue. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection confirmed by real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. CT showed rapidly progressing peripheral consolidations and ground-glass opacities in both lungs. After treatment, the lesions were shown to be almost absorbed leaving the fibrous lesions.

The microstructure of diatom frustules found in mud sediments along the coast of Boryeong- city, South Korea, was observed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the constituent elements of diatoms were analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Diatom frustules and clay minerals were present in the SEM images of the mud powder. High-magnification SEM images revealed that the surface of the frustules contained identically shaped circular pores, measuring 1 ㎛ in diameter, arranged at regular intervals. This study revealed that the diatom shell fragments in the mud powder ranged in size from 3 to 30 ㎛, with an average thickness of approximately 2.5 ㎛. The elements Si, Al, Fe, K, Na, Mg, and Ti were detected while analyzing the frustule constituents, with Si being the primary component with the highest content.

This thesis aimed examine the relationship between the health characteristics (musculoskeletal, respiratory, skin, digestive, nervous mental system) of cosmetologists and their demographic, health management, and working environment characteristics to help cosmetologists maintain a healthy work life while solving health problems. These research was carried out via survey and statistics analysis. A total of 279 cosmetologists living in Seoul, Kyeongkido, and Choongchungdo from 8 July to 30 August, 2014 were surveyed. Frequency, mean, factor, and regression analysis were carried out on the data with SPSS(V. 14). The results were as follows; (1) a relationship between health & the demographic characteristics of gender was found;- (2) health and the health management characteristics of interest in health problem prevention, active exterior health support, muscular exercise, interior health support, and stress management were found to be related;- (3) health and working the environment characteristics of working time per day, and work days per week were related.

Chestnut bark extract by methanol repressed the expression of tyrosinase gene of B16 mouse melanoma cell containing tyrosinase promoter. $10{\mu}g/ml{\ell}\;100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $1mg/m{\ell}$ of the extract repressed expression of tyrosinase gene about $38\%,\;47\%,\;and\;78\%$, respectively, compared with control. In the MTT assay, the same extract exhibited very low cytotoxicity at $1{\mu}g/m{\ell},\;10{\mu}g/m{\ell},\;100{\mu}g/m{\ell},\;and\;1mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. The fractions of Methylene chloride and ethyl acetate did not showed the repressive effect on the expression of tyrosinase gene, but the fraction of butyl alcohol repressed highly at $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}\;and\;100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$.
