전라북도에 소재한 유형목조문화재의 단청기록화 사업의 일환으로 송광사 나한전(전라북도 유형문화재 제172호)에 채색된 안료에 대한 X-선형광분석을 실시하였으며, 이들에 대한 색상별 안료의 성분과 보수시기의 동일성을 비교하였다. 분석결과 주성분 및 미량성분을 검토한 결과 나한전에 사용된 안료는 청색은 군청(($3NaAl{\cdot}SiO_4{\cdot}Na_2S_2$), 녹색은 양록($Cu(C_2H_3O_2)_2{\cdot}3Cu(AsO_2)_3$, 주황은 장단($Pb_3O_4$), 황색은 크롬옐로($PbCrO_4$)로 분류되었다. 나한전 외부, 내부의 안료 성분분석으로는 채색 시기를 구별하긴 어려웠다.

Although innate color preference of motile organisms may provide clues to behavioral biases, it has remained a longstanding question. In this study, we investigated innate color preference of zebrafish larvae. A cross maze with different color sleeves around each arm was used for the color preference test (R; red, G; green, B; blue, Y; yellow). The findings showed that 5 dpf zebrafish larvae preferred blue over other colors (B > R > G > Y). To study innate color recognition further, tyrosinase mutants were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 system. As a model for oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and color vision impairment, tyrosinase mutants demonstrated diminished color sensation, indicated mainly by hypopigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Due to its relative simplicity and ease, color preference screening using zebrafish larvae is suitable for high-throughput screening applications. This system may potentially be applied to the analysis of drug effects on larval behavior or the detection of sensory deficits in neurological disorder models, such as autism-related disorders, using mutant larvae generated by the CRISPR/Cas9 technique.

Outdoor sculptures of modern art works are being damaged and deteriorated as they are exposed to the outdoor environment due to the nature of exhibition in the outdoor environment, but secure of basic data through the measures for conservation and advanced researches still remain in the early stage. The surface of "Conversion" which is exhibited in the Busan Cheonmasan Sculpture Park has been exfoliated and deteriorated due to outdoor exhibition for a long time, so systematic conservation and management of works are considered necessary. Prior to the conservation and management, this study conducted observation of cross section, analysis of inorganic components, FT-IR, Raman and Py-GC/Mass analysis to examine the nature and type of paints used for the work through a scientific analysis. As a result of analysis, paints used for the "Conversion" include paint mixed with silvery aluminium powder and white pigment, reddish paint mixed with toluidine red, bluish paint that mixed prussian blue and titanium white and mixture of phthalocyanine blue and titanium white. The result is expected to be used as basic data for selecting materials necessary for conservative treatment of and establishing a plan for conservative treatment of the "Conversion".

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a significant visual disease that induces impaired vision and irreversible blindness in the elderly. However, the effects of ginseng berry extract (GBE) on the retina have not been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the protective effects of GBE on blue light (BL)-induced retinal damage and elucidate its underlying mechanisms in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19 cells) and Balb/c retina. Methods: To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of GBE on retinal damage in vitro, we performed cell viability assay, pre-and post-treatment of sample, reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and western immunoblotting using A2E-laden ARPE-19 cells with BL exposure. In addition, Balb/c mice were irradiated with BL to induce retinal degeneration and orally administrated with GBE (50, 100, 200 mg/kg). Using the harvested retina, we performed histological analysis (thickness of retinal layers), qRT-PCR, and western immunoblotting to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of GBE against retinal damage in vivo. Results: GBE significantly inhibited BL-induced cell damage in ARPE-19 cells by activating the SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway, regulating NF-kB translocation, caspase 3 activation, PARP cleavage, expressions of apoptosis-related factors (BAX/BCL-2, LC3-II, and p62), and ROS production. Furthermore, GBE prevented BL-induced retinal degeneration by restoring the thickness of retinal layers and suppressed inflammation and apoptosis via regulation of NF-kB and SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway, cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP, and expressions of apoptosis-related factors in vivo. Conclusions: GBE could be a potential agent to prevent dry AMD and progression to wet AMD.

교통사고로 인해 피해자 의류 또는 사고관련 차량에 부착된 페인트는 법과학적으로 중요한 증거물이다. 의류에 부착된 페인트는 용의차량을 추적하고 교통사고의 피해자임을 입증할 수 있는 단서가 되며, 피해차량과 용의차량에 상호 전이되어 부착된 페인트는 페인트의 동일성 비교로써 사고의 진실을 밝히고 사고 상황을 재구성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 부착된 페인트는 보통 미량의 시료이고 특히 단색인 흰색, 노란색, 적색, 청색, 검정색인 경우 페인트 동일성 비교는 입체현미경으로 색상과 안료에 함유된 알루미늄, 펄, 마이카 등의 입자 형상에 대한 상호 비교가 곤란하므로 이에 대한 분석법이 요구되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 단색의 차량 페인트에서 색상을 구현하는 basecoat 층에 대해 micro-FT-IR과 micro-XRF를 이용하여 안료의 바인더 수지와 무기안료의 구성원소를 확인하여 법과학적 측면에서 페인트 동일성 비교를 하고자 하였다. FT-IR 분석은 시료를 전처리 없이 Reflectance와 ATR 2가지 방법을 병용했으며 Reflectance 스펙트럼은 $4000{\sim}2000cm^{-1}$ 영역에서 aromatics과 aliphatic, acrylonitrile 등의 피크 정보를 얻었고 ATR 스펙트럼은 $2000{\sim}650cm^{-1}$ 영역에서 carbonyl, isocyanate, carbamate 등의 피크 및 피크의 패턴 비교로 안료의 바인더 수지를 비교하는데 이용하였다. 또한 XRF 분광법은 미량 페인트의 무기안료에 함유된 구성원소를 확인하여 적외선 흡수스펙트럼으로 동일성 비교가 곤란한 시료에 대해 판별 가능하게 하였다.

본 연구는 대형불화 현장 조사에 비파괴 조사장비 중 하나인 휴대용 라만 분광기를 적용하고 그 결과를 HH-XRF 데이터와 상호 비교하여 장곡사 미륵불 괘불탱에 사용된 채색 재료를 동정하였다. 대형불화에 사용된 채색 재료 분석시, 현장에서 주로 휴대용 현미경과 HH-XRF를 이용한다. 하지만 채색 재료가 경원소로 구성되어 있거나 여러 안료가 중첩 또는 혼합 채색된 경우, 비파괴 분석 데이터만으로는 해석에 한계가 있다. 또한 문화유산이라는 특성상 수습할 수 있는 시료의 양은 제한적이어서 XRD, SEM-EDS 및 라만 분광을 이용한 정밀 분석을 수행하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 현장 조사 시 HH-XRF 분석 데이터를 보완할 분석기술이 필요하다. 장곡사 미륵불 괘불탱을 대상으로 백색, 적색, 황색, 녹색, 청색 색상별 채색 재료에 대하여 HH-XRF로 성분을 분석하고 휴대용 라만 분광기를 적용하여 분자구조를 확인하였다. 분석결과, 백색은 연백, 적색은 진사, 석간주, 황색은 등황, 석황, 녹색은 염화동, 청색은 쪽이 사용된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 휴대용 라만 분광기를 적용함으로써 데이터에 대한 교차검증뿐 아니라 HH-XRF로 확인이 어려웠던 혼합 채색된 안료에 대한 식별과 유기안료에 대한 정보를 획득하는데 도움이 되었다. 또한 대형불화 등 회화문화유산의 비파괴 현장 조사에 휴대용 라만이 다양하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Nevus of Ota is a hamartoma of dermal melanocytes. Clinically, Nevus of Ota is manifested as blue or gray patch on the face; such condition is congenital or acquired and is within the distribution of branches of the trigeminal nerve. The nevus can be unilateral or bilateral. In addition to skin, it may involve ocular and oral mucosal surfaces. The case of an 18-year old female with unilateral bluish black macule on the right side of the face since birth is presented. She also had a bluish patch on the right shoulder at birth, which disappeared when she turned 10 years. The pathogenesis of Nevus is unknown, and effective treatment has been realized with pigment-specific lasers.

Photosynthetic microbes possess a wealth of photoactive proteins including chlorophyll-based pigments, phototropin-related blue light receptors, phytochromes, and cryptochromes. Surprisingly, recent genome sequencing projects discovered additional photoactive proteins, retinal-based rhodopsins, in cyanobacterial and algal genera. Most of these newly found rhodopsin genes and retinal synthase have not been expressed and their functions are unknown. Analysis of the Anabaena and Chlamyrhodopsin with retinal synthase revealed that they have sensory functions, which, based on our work with haloarchaeal rhodopsins, may use a variety of signaling mechanisms. Anabaena rhodopsin is believed to be sensory, shown to interact with a soluble transducer and the putative function is either chromatic adaptation or circadian rhythm. Chlamydomonas rhodopsins are involved in phototaxis and photophobic responses based on electrical measurements by RNAi experiment. In order to analyze the protein, we developed a sensory rhodopsin expression system in E. coli. The opsin in E. coil bound endogenous all-trans retinal to form a pigment and can be observed on the plate. Using this system we could identify retinal synthase in Anabaena PCC 7120. We conclude that Anabaena D475 dioxygenase functions as a retinal synthase to the Anabaena rhodopsin in the cell.

The wood veneers were clearly rainbow-colored with natural dyes. As shown through Korean-style jacket with stripes of multi-colors beyond traditional obang colors (red, blue, yellow, black and white colors), eco-friendly coloring methods representing Korean colors familiar from old times could be used nobly by coloring natural wood veneer being raw material of wood products. In terms of industrialization, the study to manifest korean color, substituting chemical stains such as dye and pigment, would be necessary. In order to realize this purpose, the study about economical dyeing materials and characteristics, that is, mordant, dyeing and drying techniques showing environment-friendly coloring and high coloration level ought to be followed. In addition to this, investigating discoloration transition by fading test for interior and exterior uses would have to be carried out.
