본 연구는 시력교정용 안경렌즈의 재질에 따른 자외선 차단 성능을 확인하고자 하였다. 안경렌즈 Acryl, CR-39, NK-55, MR-8 재질의 렌즈에 대하여 흠집 방지와 반사방지 코팅을 한 렌즈 Group A와 여기에 자외선 차단 코팅을 추가한 렌즈 Group B, 그리고 자외선 차단 전용렌즈 Group C에 대하여 자외선 투과율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, UV-A 파장에서 Group A는 CR-39 렌즈가 7.726 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.043 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순 이었으며 Group B는 CR-39 렌즈가 0.038 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.037 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순으로 나타나 CR-39 렌즈의 자외선 차단 성능이 크게 개선되었다. Group C는 굴절률이 1.60과 1.67에서 각각 0.005 %, 0.004 %로 나타나 자외선 차단 성능이 가장 우수하였다. 저 도수의 렌즈와 썬글라스의 경우, CR-39 렌즈를 가장 많이 사용하는 현실에서 자외선 차단을 위한 새로운 재질 또는 자외선 흡수제, 자외선 차단코팅 기술 등의 융 복합적 기술개발이 요구된다고 하겠다.

Objectives: The medicinal plants are believed to enhance the natural resistance of the body to infections. Some of the main constituents of the plant and derived materials such as, proteins, lectins and polysaccharides have anti-inflammatory effects. Portulaca oleracea (P. oleracea) were used traditionally for dietary, food additive, spice and various medicinal purposes. This review article is focus on the anti-asthmatic effects of P. oleracea and its constituents. Methods: Various databases, such as the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were searched the keywords including "Portulaca oleracea", "Quercetin", "Anti-inflammatory", "Antioxidant", "Cytokines", "Smooth muscle ", and " Relaxant effects " until the end of Jul 2018. Results: P. oleracea extracts and its constituents increased $IFN-{\gamma}$, IL-2, $IFN{\gamma}/IL-4$ and IL- 10/IL-4 ratio, but decreased secretion of $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-4 and chemokines in both in vitro and in vivo studies. P. oleracea extracts and quercetin also signifcantly decreased production of NO, stimulated ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor and/or blocking muscarinic receptors in tracheal smooth muscles. Conclusion: P. oleracea extracts and quercetin showed relatively potent anti-asthmatic effects due to decreased production of NO, inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, reduced oxidant while enhanced antioxidant markers, and also showed potent relaxant effects on tracheal smooth muscles via stimulatory on ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor or/and blocking muscarinic receptors.

In many Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications, the reader recognizes the tags within its scope repeatedly. For these applications, some algorithms such as the adaptive query splitting algorithm (AQS) and the novel semi-blocking AQS (SBA) were proposed. In these algorithms, a staying tag retransmits its ID to the reader to be identified, even though the ID of the tag is stored in the reader's memory. When the length of tag ID is long, the reader consumes a long time to identify the staying tags. To overcome this deficiency, we propose a slot allocated blocking anti-collision algorithm (SABA). In SABA, the reader assigns a unique slot to each tag in its range by using a slot allocation mechanism. Based on the allocated slot, each staying tag only replies a short data to the reader in the identification process. As a result, the amount of data transmitted by the staying tags is reduced greatly and the identification rate of the reader is improved effectively. The identification rate and the data amount transmitted by tags of SABA are analyzed theoretically and verified by various simulations. The simulation and analysis results show that the performance of SABA is superior to the existing algorithms significantly.

본 연구의 목적은 청색광 차단 렌즈에서 발생하는 미광이 상의 질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보는 것이다. 이상적인 안경 렌즈, 내부 반사가 없는 무반사 안경 렌즈, 내부 반사가 있는 무반사 안경 렌즈, 그리고 내부 반사가 있는 청색광 차단 렌즈를 설계하고 광도 분포 및 미광 분포를 도출하였다. 설계된 안경 렌즈는 굴절능 0.00 D, 굴절률 1.56, 반지름 155.16 mm 인 메니스커스 렌즈이다. 청색광 차단 렌즈의 피크는 430~440 nm 영역 사이에 있으며, 반사율은 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%이 되도록 설계하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면 청색광 차단 렌즈의 반사율이 증가함에 따라 중심부의 광도의 세기는 감소하고 중심-주변부와 주변부의 미광의 세기는 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 청색광 차단 렌즈의 반사율이 증가할수록 심화되는 것으로 나타났다. 청색광 차단 렌즈의 반사율 증가는 중심-주변부 및 주변부의 미광을 증가시켜 상의 질을 떨어뜨리므로 청색광 차단 렌즈에서의 반사율은 청색광 차단율 및 시감 투과율을 고려하여 시각적으로 불편함이 없는 수준에서 조절할 필요가 있다.

Background: During hot environment work tasks with whole-body enclosed anti-bioaerosol suit, the combined effect of heavy sweating and exhaled hot humid air may cause the N95 medical respirator to saturate with water/sweat (i.e., water-blocking). Methods: 32 young male subjects with different body mass indexes (BMI) in whole-body protection (N95 medical respirator + one-piece protective suit + head covering + protective face screen + gloves + shoe covers) were asked to simulate waste collecting from each isolated room in a seven-story building at 27-28℃, and the weight, inhalation resistance (R_f), and aerosol penetration of the respirator before worn and after water-blocking were analyzed. Results: All subjects reported water-blocking asphyxia of the N95 respirators within 36-67 min of the task. When water-blocking occurred, the R_f and 10-200 nm total aerosol penetration (P_t) of the respirators reached up to 1270-1810 Pa and 17.3-23.3%, respectively, which were 10 and 8 times of that before wearing. The most penetration particle size of the respirators increased from 49-65 nm before worn to 115-154 nm under water-blocking condition, and the corresponding maximum size-dependent aerosol penetration increased from 2.5-3.5% to 20-27%. With the increase of BMI, the water-blocking occurrence time firstly increased then reduced, while the R_f, P_t, and absorbed water all increased significantly. Conclusions: This study reveals respirator water-blocking and its serious negative impacts on respiratory protection. When performing moderate-to-high-load tasks with whole-body protection in a hot environment, it is recommended that respirator be replaced with a new one at least every hour to avoid water-blocking asphyxia.

Background: Platelets take part in repairing the lesions of endothelial damage. To understand the molecular mechanism of this process, we tested the hypothesis that CD154 expressed on activated platelets stimulates proliferation of human endothelial cells. Methods: The expression levels of CD154 and CD40 on platelets and endothelial cells, respectively, were measured by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Function-blocking monoclonal antibody against CD154 was developed after immunization with CD154-transfected L cells. Results: An anti-CD40 agonist antibody and soluble CD154 both induced significant proliferation of endothelial cells. In addition, a function-blocking anti-CD154 antibody inhibited the platelet-induced proliferation of endothelial cells, indicating that the CD154-CD40 pathway is involved in these cellular interactions. An anti-VEGF antibody failed to inhibit the proliferation. This, in addition to the fact that very small amounts of VEGF are released from platelets or endothelial cells, suggests that VEGF does not play an important role in the platelet-stimulated proliferation of endothelial cells. Conclusion: Our results indicate that platelets induce proliferation of endothelial cells by CD154-CD40 interactions independently of VEGF.

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide is found in several types of edible brown algae. It has shown numerous biological activities; however, the molecular mechanisms on the activity against atopic dermatitis have not been reported yet. We now examined the effects of fucoidan on chemokine production co-induced by TNF-α/IFN-γ, and the possible mechanisms underlying these biological effects. Our data showed that fucoidan inhibited the TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced production of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophagederived chemokine (MDC) mRNA in human keratinocytes HaCaT cells. Also, fucoidan suppressed phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, fucoidan significantly inhibited activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK) phosphorylation. These data indicate that fucoidan shows anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the expression of TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced chemokines by blocking NF-κB, STAT1, and ERK1/2 activation, suggestive of as used as a therapeutic application in inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis.
