Melanogenesis is a physiological process resulted in the synthesis of melanin pigments, which has a role in protecting skin front the damaging effect of ultra-violet (UV) radiation. The main aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica(UL) on Melanogenesis. Cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica for 48 h, and there were estimated total melanin contents as a final product and activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme, in Melanogenesis. Among the four solvent extracts tested, EtOAc extract mostly increased tyrosinase activity, And EtOAc extract increased the melanin contents and tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Especially It was observed that 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml EtOAc extract promotes melanin secretion in B16/F10 melanoma cells by 140% at 48 h treatment and activity of tyrosinase increased by 180% in the presence of same concentration. In conclusion, as for EtOAc extract treatment, there was no effect on the viability of B16/F10 cell, only to stimulate Melanogenesis.

In this paper, the influence of Si surface damage on the NiSi formation has been characterized. The silicon surface is damaged using ion beam type spotter. Then, the effect of H2 anneal and TiN capping layer on the damaged has also been analyzed. The sheet resistance of NiSi formed on damaged Si increased rapidly as the damaging time increases while thermal stability of damaged NiSi was stabler than the undamaged one. In the case when H\ulcorner anneal and TiN capping layer were applied together, the characteristics of NiSi shows a little improvement of the sheet resistance.

Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, which can not only lead to various diseases, but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In our previous study, Cercis chinensis (Leguminosae) showed a potent antioxidant activity. Twenty compounds including a new flavonol glycoside were isolated through antioxidant activity-guided fractionation. C. chinensis and some of the constituents exhibited a potent antioxidant activity on the free radicals and lipid peroxidation and a notable protective effect on the t-BuOOH induced oxidative damage.

진딧물은 직접적으로 식물의 체관부를 흡즙함으로써 식물 피해를 줄 뿐 아니라 식물 바이러스를 매개하고 그을음병을 유발시켜 식물에 이차적인 피해를 준다. 식량작물에 영향을 주는 기장테두리진딧물(Rhopalosiphum padi), 싸리수염진딧물(Aulacorthum solani), 아카시아진딧물(Aphis craccivora), 완두수염진딧물(Acyrthosiphon pisum)의 발육, 생존, 번식에 미치는 온도의 영향을 생명표분석을 통하여 비교하였다. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30℃에서 얻은 발육단계별 발육기간, 생존율, 성충수명, 성충산자 자료를 암수이용생명표분석(age-stage, two-sex life table analysis) 방법을 이용하여 생명표매개변수를 추정하였다. 싸리수염진딧물은 30도에서 성충으로 발육하지 못하였다. 15℃를 제외한 모든 온도에서 기장 테두리진딧물의 내적자연증가율이 가장 높았으며 (10, 20, 25, 30℃에서 0.12, 0.34, 0.47, 0.32) 30도에서 완두수염진딧물의 내적자연증가율은 음의 값 (-0.04)이었다. 식량작물을 가해하는 진딧물 4종의 생명표 매개변수 비교분석을 통해 저온 적응성이 높은 종은 싸리수염진딧물이었고 고온 환경에서는 기장테두리진딧물이 우점할 것으로 추정되었다.

상대습도 65%, 온도 $35^{\circ}C$의 저장 조건하에서 지방질의 가수분해를 촉진 시킨 미강과 상대습도 70-90% 온도 $25-30^{\circ}C$의 공기중에 방치하여 가수분해와 산화를 동시에 촉진시킨 미강을 시료로 지방질의 산화에 따라 생성된 산화 생성물이 단백질의 변패에 미치는 영향을 유리아미노산 함량의 경시적인 변화로써 살펴 보았다. 산소농도를 제한한 system에서는 자장초기에 유리아미노산의 함량이 증가하다가 지방질의 산화가 진행되면서 감소하기 시작하였고, 이러한 감소현상은 공기중에 방치한 실험군에서는 저장 초기부터 일어나기 시작하여 산화가 급격하게 진행된 저장 말기에는 그 감소 현상이 현저하였다. 이들 아미노산의 감소와 지방질의 산패정도를 통계처리한 결과, 유리아미노산 중 serine, glutamic acid, proline, methionine, lysine, histidine, 그리고 arginine 등의 함량 감소는 지방질의 산패에 의한 현저한 영향을 받았다(p<0.05).

Nickel is the one of potent environmental, the occupational pollutants and the classified human carcinogens. It is a serious hazard to human health, when the metal exposure. To prevent human diseases from the heavy metals, it is seemingly important that understanding of how nickel exerts their toxicity and carcinogenic effect at a molecular and a genomic level. The process of nickel absorption has been demonstrated as phagocytosis, iron channel and diffusion. Uptaked nickel has been suggested to induce carcinogenesis via two pathways, a direct DNA damaging pathway and an indirect DNA damaging pathway. The former was originated from the ability of metal to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and the reactive intermediates to interact with DNA directly. Ni-generated ROS or Nickel itself, interacts with DNAs and histones to cause DNA damage and chromosomal abnormality. The latter was originated from an indirect DNA damage via inhibition of DNA repair, or condensation and methylation of DNA. Cells have ability to protect from the genotoxic stresses by changing gene expression. Microarray analysis of the cells treated with nickel or nickel compounds, show the specific altered gene expression profile. For example, HIF-I (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor I) and p53 were well known as transcription factors, which are upregulated in response to stress and activated by both soluble and insoluble nickel compounds. The induction of these important transcription factors exert potent selective pressure and leading to cell transformation. Genes of metallothionein and family of heat shock proteins which have been known to play role in protection and damage control, were also induced by nickel treatment. These gene expressions may give us a clue to understand of the carcinogenesis mechanism of nickel. Further discussions on molecular and genomic, are need in order to understand the specific mechanism of nickel toxicity and carcinogenicity.

Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, which can not only lead to various diseases, but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In our previous study, Cercis chinensis (Leguminosae) showed a potent antioxidant activity. Nineteen compounds were isolated through antioxidant activity-guided fractionation. The C. chinensis extract and some of the constituents exhibited a potent antioxidant activity on the free radicals and lipid peroxidation and a notable protective effect on the t-BuOOH induced oxidative damage. In vivo test of skin damage induced by UVB irradiation, the extract of C. chinensis and a constituent, piceatannol, exhibited a significant protective effect. The life-span of the HEK-N/F cells were extended by 1.21-2.12 fold as a result of the continuous administration of 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of the C. chinensis extract and the active constituents compared to that of the control. These observations were attributed to the inhibitory effect of the C. chinensis extract and its constituents on the age-dependent shortening of the telomere. Thus, C. chinensis was demonstrated to protect the skin cells against oxidative stress and inhibit thereby the cellular aging, followed by expectation as anti-aging cosmetic ingredient.

The present study elucidated the effect of $\beta$-carbolines (harmaline and harmalol) on brain mitochondlial dysfunction caused by the tyrosinase-induced oxidation of dopamine. Harmaline, harmalol and antioxidant enzymes (SOD and catalase) attenuated the dopamine-induced alteration of membrane potential, cytochrome c release and thiol oxidation in mitochondria. In contrast, antioxidant enzymes failed to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction induced by dopmnine plus tyrosinase. $\beta$-Carbolines decreased the damaging effect of dopamine plus tyrosinase against mitochondria, except no effect of harmalol on thiol oxidation. Antioxidant enzymes decreased the melanin formation from dopamine in the reaction mixture containing mitochondria but did not reduce the formation of dopamine quinone caused by tyrosinase. Both harmalol and harmaline inhibited the formation of reactive quinone and melanin. Harmalol being more effective for quinone formation and vise versa. The results indicate that compared to MAO-induced dopamine oxidation, the toxic effect of dopamine in the presence of tyrosinase against mitochondria may be accomplished by the dopamine quinone and toxic substances other than reactive oxygen species. $\beta$-Carbolines may decrease the dopamine plus tyrosinase-induced brain mitochondrial dysfunction by inhibition of the formation of reactive quinone and the change in membrane permeability.
