식품내 존재하는 광감체를 제거함으로써 광산화를 억제하는 방법의 일환으로 방사선 조사시 광감체인 chlorophyII의 제거정도 및 최적 조사선량을 탐색하고 모델시스템으로서 linoleic acid 용액에 chlorophyII을 첨가하고 방사선 조사기술을 이용하여 기질의 산화없이 광감체를 제거하고자 chlorophyII b의 함량, 색도 및 과산화물가를 측정하였다. 방사선 조사선량이 증가할수록 chlorophyII b의 함량이 감소하였으며 2.517kGy이상의 선량에선 chlorophyII b 가 방사선 조사에 의해 완전히 파괴되었다. Linoleic acid 용액의 제조 직후 chlorophyII b의 함량은 2.88-2.91 ppm이었으나 20kGy의 방사선을 조사한 경우 chlorophyII b는 전혀 검출되지 않았으며 광조사에 의한 chlorophyII b의 함량은 방사선 비조사구의 경우 chlorophyII b의 함량이 광조사 시간이 경과함에 따라 약간씩 감소하였으나 방사선 조사구는 광조사 후에도 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 방사선을 조사한 후 광조사 시키는 동안 색도의 변화는 L값과 b값의 경우 비조사구에 비해 방사선 조사에 의하여 증가하였고 a값은 감소하였다. 과산화물가는 제조직후방사선 조사에 의하여 산화가 일어났으나 방사선 조사시 $N_2$ gas bubbling 처리한 경우에는 비조사구와 마찬가지로 전혀 산화가 일어나지 않았다. 또한 방사선 조사후 광조사 시킨 경우 chlorophyII b의 제거로 광산화는 일어나지 않았다.

Radiofrequency (RF) radiation might induce the transcription of a certain set of genes as other physical stresses like ionizing radiation and UV. To observe transcriptional changes upon RF radiation, we exposed WI-38, human lung fibroblast cell to 1763 MHz of mobile phone RF radiation at 60 W/kg of specific absorption rate (SAR) for 24h with or without heat control. There were no significant changes in cell numbers and morphology after exposure to RF radiation. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we checked the expression of three heat shock protein (HSP) (HSPA1A, HSPA6 and HSP105) and seven stress-related genes (TNFRSF11B, FGF2, TGFB2, ITGA2, BRIP1, EXO1, and MCM10) in RF only and RF/HS groups of RF-exposed cells. The expressions of three heat shock proteins and seven stress-related genes were selectively changed only in RF/HS groups. Based on the expression of ten genes, we could classify thermal and non-thermal effect of RF-exposure, which genes can be used as biomarkers for RF radiation exposure.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a major cause of skin photoaging. Previous studies reported that ethanol extract (PET) of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch flowers (PPF, peach flowers) and its subfractions, particularly the ethylacetate (PEA) and n-butanol extracts (PBT), have potent antioxidant activity and attenuate the UV-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in human skin cells. In this study, we investigated the protective activity of PPF extract against UV-induced photoaging in a mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: Hairless mice were treated with PET or a mixture of PEA and PBT either topically or orally along with UV irradiation. Histological changes and biochemical alterations of mouse skin were examined. Major phenolic compounds in PPF extract were analyzed using an ACQUITY UPLC system. RESULTS: The overall effects of topical and oral treatments with PPF extract on the UV-induced skin responses exhibited similar patterns. In both experiments, the mixture of PEA and PBT significantly inhibited the UV-induced skin and epidermal thickening, while PET inhibited only the UV-induced epidermal thickening. Treatment of PET or the mixture of PEA and PBT significantly inhibited the UV-induced MMP-13 expression, but not type I collagen expression. Topical treatment of the mixture of PEA and PBT with UV irradiation significantly elevated catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-peroxidase (GPx) activities in the skin compared to those in the UV irradiated control group, while oral treatment of the mixture of PEA and PBT or PET elevated only catalase and SOD activities, but not GPx. Thirteen phytochemical compounds including 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, cimicifugic acid E and B, quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside and kaempferol glycoside derivatives were identified in the PPF extract. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that treatment with PET or the mixture of PEA and PBT, both topically or orally, attenuates UV-induced photoaging via the cooperative interactions of phenolic components having anti-oxidative and collagen-protective activities.

During the past few decades, significant increase in the consumption of coffee has led to rapid increase in the production of coffee waste in South Korea. Spent coffee waste is often treated as a general waste and is directly disposed without the necessary treatment. Spent Coffee Grounds (SCGs) can release several organic contaminants, including caffeine. In this study, leaching tests were conducted for SCGs and oxidative degradation of caffeine were also conducted. The tested SCGs contained approximately 4.4 mg caffeine per gram of coffee waste. Results from the leaching tests show that approximately 90% of the caffeine can be extracted at each step during sequential extraction. Advanced oxidation methods for the degradation of caffeine, such as $UV/H_2O_2$, photo-Fenton reaction, and $UV/O_3$, were tested. UV radiation has a limited effect on the degradation of caffeine. In particular, UV-A and UV-B radiations present in sunlight cause marginal degradation, thereby indicating that natural degradation of caffeine is minimal. However, $O_3$ can cause rapid degradation of caffeine, and the values of pseudo-first order rate constants were found to be ranging from $0.817min^{-1}$ to $1.506min^{-1}$ when the ozone generation rate was $37.1g/m^3$. Additionally, the degradation rate of caffeine is dependent on the wavelength of irradiation.

A theoretical and experimental study was conducted in order to design highly efficient solar air heaters using porous material. Radiative characteristics of glass windows and porous absorbing media were correlated through spectral transmittances measured by the UV-Visible and the FT-IR spectrometers. Using those characteristics the efficiencies of collectors were numerically calculated with the use of the two-flux radiation model. Based on the theoretical results, an experimental solar collector was designed and constructed. Experimental results under various conditions show that the daily efficiencies are over 60% in general and agree well with the theoretically calculated ones.

Transparent noise barrier panels have the advantages of transmitting light to nearby residents and allowing drivers to orientate themselves by providing views of the surrounding area. To develop guidelines on quality criteria for transparent soundproof panels, their sound transmission loss and weatherability were experimentally investigated. In Korea, the sound transmission loss of noise barrier panels should be more than 25 dB at 500 Hz and 30 dB at 1000 Hz. The transmission loss tests of transparent panels were performed in accordance with KS F 2808. Typically, plastic materials suffer from color changes when exposed to ultraviolet(UV) light over extended periods. Therefore, weathering of plastics is one of the most important properties for outdoor applications. Protection against UV radiation and weathering is usually accomplished by using UV stabilizer additives or coatings. Transparent materials for soundproof panels were examined through accelerated weathering tests and their weathering resistances were evaluated from changes in yellowness index.

알부틴은 glycosylated hydroquinone으로 여러 식물들에서, 고농도로 발견되며 비교적 안정한 물질이다. 이는 멜라닌화를 억제하는 작용이 있는 것으로 보고되어 있고, 베타-글루코시다제에 의해 포도당과 hydroquinone으로 쉽게 가수분해된다. Hydroquinone 역시 우수한 항멜라닌화 작용을 가지나, 여러 가지 부작용들로 인해 그 사용이 제한적이거나 주의를 요한다. 이 연구는 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 포함하는 미백 화장품이 자외선 조사로 유도된 색소 침착을 억제하는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상은 10명의 건강한 성인으로 등 부위에 자외선 B를 조사하여 색소 침착 병변을 만들었고 이 병변들은 세 그룹: 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품 도포군, vehicle 대조군, no-application 대조군으로 나누었다. 알부틴과 베타-글주코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품 도포군은 no-application 대조군에 비교하여 색소 침착을 $50.17\%$ 억제하였다(N = 10:P<0.05). 따라서 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품이 기미 등 자외선 조사로 유도되거나 악화되는 과색소성 질환에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있겠다.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate anti-inflammation of Leonurus sibiricus methanol extract against UVB-damage in fibroblast. The skin is continuously exposed to damage from environmental stresses. UV radiation causes a variety of biological effects especially on the skin, including inflammation and photoaging. Methods : In this study, we tried to search for Leonurus sibiricus which exhibit protective activities against UVB-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative cell death, NO and $PGE_2$ production. HS68 cells were exposed to UVB ($120mJ/cm^2$) and treated with various concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, $8mg/m{\ell}$) of Leonurus sibiricus methanol extract for additional 24 h. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels generated by UV radiation were detected using a spectrofluorometer after DCF-DA staining. Also, HS68 cells were irradiated with UVB and then treated with Leonurus sibiricus methanol extract for 12 h. The lipid peroxidation was assayed by measuring the levels of 8-isoprostane secreted into the culture medium. Results : UVB-induced cytotoxicity and cell death were effectively suppressed by treatment of Leonurus sibiricus aqueous methanol extracts. Oxidative cell damage was mediated $PGE_2$ in UVB-induced HS68 fibroblast cell, which was significantly inhibited by treatment with Leonurus sibiricus extracts. Also, the protective effect of these extract seemed to be mediated by inhibited intracellular ROS generation and lipid peroxidation in dose-dependent manner. Conclusion : These results suggest that Leonurus sibiricus aqueous methanol extracts may have anti-aging effects new functional materials against oxidative UVB stress-mediated skin damages.

UV-C 조사가 국내에 유통되고 있는 수입 건어포류의 저장 중 미생물학적 변화와 품질에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. UV-C 조사량은 5, 10, $20\;kJ/m^2$으로 처리하여 대조구와 비교하였다. 조사시간은 5분 33초, 11분 6초, 22분 12초를 사용하였다. UV-C 조사에 의한 건어포류에 존재하는 오염된 미생물의 감소는 $20\;kJ/m^2$ 처리에서, 쥐포는 호기성 세균과 효모 및 곰팡이에서 각각 0.82, 1.23 log CFU/g, 문어포는 각각 1.20, 1.01 log CFU/g이었다. 또한 저장 중 대조구 대비 초기 감균 효과를 유지하였고, 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 미생물이 더 감소하였다. UV-C 조사된 시료에 대한 Hunter L, a, b 값을 측정한 결과 저장 중 시료의 색도에 있어서 조사선량에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 따라서 본 연구결과, UV-C 조사 처리가 수입 건어포류의 미생물 생육 억제 및 품질 유지의 가능성을 확인하였다.
