본 연구는 흑마늘을 기능성 화장품 소재로 활용하기 위하여 그 기능성을 in vitro에서 tyrosinase 및 elastase 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 피부노화에 관여하는 두 효소의 활성을 모두 저해하였다. 흑마늘 추출물을 hartley계 기니픽 수컷을 사용하여 피부 1차 자극 실험을 실시한 결과 1차 피부자극지수(P.I.I.)가 0.23으로 practically non-irritation(비자극성)에 해당하는 자극으로 피부 자극이 거의 없었음을 알 수 있었다. Maximization test법으로 피부 감작성을 확인한 결과 시험물질에 의한 홍반과 부종 등이 전혀 유발되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 흑마늘 추출물에 대한 기니픽의 피부 감작율은 0%로, 피부에 대한 피부 감작성이 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 흑마늘 추출물이 기능성 화장품 소재로 피부노화를 억제하는 기능성과 안전성확보된 소재임을 추정할 수 있었다.

T. verrucosum에 의한 피부사상균증의 임상 및 병리조직학적 경과를 이해하여 진단과 치료에 도움이 되고자, 환자와 그 감염원으로 추정되는 한우에서 채취한 T. verrucosum을 Sabouraud 포도당 한천배지에서의 성장속도를 비교하고, 기니픽에 접종한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Sabouraud 포도당 한천배지에서의 성장속도는 한우주가 환자주에 비해 빨랐으며 $25^{\circ}C$보다 $37^{\circ}C$에서 더 빨리 자랐으나, 환자주는 온도에 따른 차이가 없었다. 홍반과 인설이 6일 경부터 증가하여 14-16일경에 황선과 유사한 병변을 형성하였으며 이후 점차 감소하여 30일 경에는 부분적인 탈모를 남기고 치유되었다. 환자주와 한우주에서 병변의 진행과정은 큰 차이가 없었으며 그 정도에서는 환자주에서 한우주보다 약간 더 심하게 나타났다. 병리조직학적인 변화는 접종 3일째에 극세포증과 혈관의 확장 및 증식이 나타나기 시작하여 12일 경에 최고에 도달했으며 이때에 과각화증, 이상각화증, 표피내 미세농양, 해면증과 더불어 진피의 혈관증식 및 확장, 세포침윤이 가장 심하였고 이러한 표피와 진피의 변화는 25일 경까지 지속된후 감소되어 33일째는 가벼운 과각화증과 극세포증을 보였으며 진피내에는 부분적으로 약간의 혈관 확장과 단핵구의 침윤을 나타내었다. PAS 염색상 접종 6일에 균사가 각질층하부와 모낭개구부에서 보인 후 9일째는 외내측 모근초와 모간에서도 관찰되었으며 21일째는 완전히 소실되었다. Trichophytin 피부반응검사에서는 평균 $9.83{\pm}1.17$일에 24마리의 기니픽 모두에서 양성반응을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 T. verrucosum에 의한 피부사상균증은 조기에 세포면역을 유도하여 특히 모낭에 심한 염증을 일으키며 병변의 빠른 치유와 연관이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Getah virus is known as a causative agent of recognized febrile illness of horses characterized by fever, rash and edema. A serological survey indicated that hemagglutination inhibition antibody against Getah virus was detected in 34% of 464 racehorses from Korean Horse Affairs Association and 57% of 262 ponies from Cheju island, respectively. Several field strains of Getah virus isolated were from the racehorse that have been shown fever and febrile signs in 1989. The field isolates produced cytopathic effect in Vero, MA-104, BHK-21 cell cultures. Especially, they multiplied to the highest titer($10^6TCID_{50}/0.1ml$) in Vero cell cultures. When day-old mice were inoculated with field isolates by the intracerebral route, they showed a typical paralysis sign and died within seven days after inoculation. The guinea pig exhibited skin rash and edema, and died with neural signs after inoculation with the field isolates. In the cross neutralization test and indirect immunofuorescent assay, the field isolates were proved to be closely related to the Sakai strain of Getah virus antigenically.

melatonin (MLT), N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is mainly secreted by the pineal gland. The ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and 1H-NMR spectra of irradiated and non-irradiated MLT were measured, and phototoxicity tests of MLT, anthracence (positive control) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, negative control) were performed. The methods employed include both in vitro test such as MTS assay using the human fibroblast cell and yeast growth inhibition assay using Candida albicans and in vivo method using the skin of guinea pig. UV absorption spectra and 1H-NMR spectra of MLT were changed by UVA (365 nm, 15 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$), but IR spectra of MLT were not changed. The fifty percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) ratio (UV-/UV+) of MLT was 10. The inhibition zone of irradiated-paper disks treated with MLT was not observed. According to the results of histophathological examination, no pathologic lesion was observed in the non-irradiated group, but slight degeneration of keratinocytes in the epidermis, homorrhage and vasodilation in dermis were observed in the irradiated group. These results indicated that the molecular structure of MLT is altered by UVA to unidentified photoproducts and a moderate phototoxicity of MLT is predicted.

Various biometerials have been researched and have been developed for treatment of some disease through transplantation to body. They have been evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity test using some skin-derived cell lines for prediction of their biocompatibility in vivo. However, the results of experiments using mesenchymal or epithelial cells could not be considered in vivo immune reaction. In this study, we evaluated the biomaterial-elution (elute from high density polyethylene film) using some cell lines (L929, Jurkat, U937) in vitro, and then that results were compared with in vivo results from guinea pig sensitization test. In sensitization test, saline and elution of syringe could not induce erythema, but only DNCB (hypersensitive chemical) induce erythema at guinea pig sensitization test. In cell experiment, the cytotoxicity results of inflammatory cells (Jurkat; T lymphocyte, U937; monocyte) was no difference with L929 (fibroblast) in the overall trend. However, inflammatory cell lines were only secreted inflammatory cytokine (TNF-${\alpha}$, INF-${\gamma}$) in some materials (biomateriallution, FAC, DNCB). And the biomaterial-elution did not have toxicity to the cells, but it induced the inflammatory cytokines in inflammatory cell lines only. So, we were predicted inflammatory reaction through the cytokine resultes of inflammatory cell lines, and it was more correlated with in vivo results than cytotoxicity test. Therefore, we suggested that the inflammatory cytokine assay using inflammatory cell lines are more effective method in vitro for evaluation of biocompatibility of biomaterials or chemicals.

We cloned and pharmacologically characterized the guinea pig cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) 2 receptor (gpCysLT2). gpCysLT2 consists of 317 amino acids with 75.3%, 75.2%, 73.3% identity to those of humans, mice and rats, respectively. The gpCysLT2 gene is highly expressed in the lung, moderately in eosinophils, skin, spleen, stomach, colon, and modestly in the small intestine. CysLTs accelerated the proliferation of gpCysLT2-expressing HEK293. Leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) enhanced the cell proliferation higher than Bay-u9773, a CysLT2 selective partial agonist and a nonselective antagonist for CysLT receptors. Bay-u9773 did not antagonize the cell proliferation by LTC4 and LTD4. Despite the equipotency of the mitogenic effect among these chemicals, calcium mobilization (CM) levels were variable (LTC4 > LTD4 >> Bay-u9773), and Bay-u9773 antagonized the CM by LTC4. Moreover, the Gi/o inhibitor pertussis toxin perfectly inhibited agonist-induced cell proliferation. These results reveal that cell proliferation via CysLT2 signaling was mediated by Gi/o signaling but independent of calcium mobilization.

본 연구는 백지 에탄올추출물의 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위하여 총 포리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 전자공여능을 독립적으로 3회 이상 반복 실시하여 측정 하였고, brown guinea pig(450~500g)의 등 부위에 1500mJ/$cm^2$ 광량의 자외선 조사로 유발시킨 피부(6areas per group)에 1일 2회, 주 5일, 매회 $30{\mu}{\ell}$씩 총 5주간 시료를 도포한 후 염산 케타민으로 마취, 시료를 도포한 피부 부위를 직경12mm의 biopsy punch로 절취하여 10%의 중성 포르말린 용액에 12시간 실온에서 고정한 후 Hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) 염색으로 표피 및 진 조직을 관찰하였다. 백지 에탄올추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정한 결과, 각각 20.7mg/g, 19.5mg/g으로 확인되어 항산화물질 함량이 양호하게 나타났다. 전자공여능을 측정한 결과, 백지 에탄올추출물은 농도가 증가함에 따라 전자공여능 또한 유의하게 증가하였고, $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$과 $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$농도에서 각각 14.8%, 19.8%의 전자공여능을 보여 양성대조군으로 사용한 Dibutylated hydroxytoluene(BHT)보다 공여능이 낮았으나 의미 있는 항산화 효과를 보였다. H&E 염색 결과, 대조군의 표피에서 경미한 비후도가 나타났으나, 백지 에탄올추출물 도포군은 피부조직 배열이 규칙적이며 염증관련 세포 침윤 등의 별다른 이상 징후는 발견되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 백지 에탄올추출물은 천연 항산화제로서 이용가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

There is now a growing concern about the possible toxicity of heavy metals in cosmetics. Heavy metals can be used as cosmetic ingredients or may be present as low level impurities in some of the raw materials. Chromium derivatives are used as pigments in cosmetics. Chromium is essential and toxic trace elements. Chromium may cause skin allergy. However, the regulations related to cosmetic products give no limit values for Chromium. Hexavalent chromium is significantly more toxic than trivalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium may present a carcinogenic risk at high concentrations. Therefore, it is important to consider oxidation state of chromium when analyze chromium. The purpose of this study is to determine the concentrations of water-soluble trivalent and hexavalent chromium in samples of makeup products, and to assess the safety of cosmetics on the basis of animal sensitization tests using guinea pig. The present study of chromium in 48 makeup products of 12 manufacturers provides a basis for assessing safety of makeup products. Water-soluble hexavalent chromium was not detected in any product. Water-soluble trivalent chromium was detected in only 9 eye shadows out of 48 makeup products, and could not be quantified 3 out of 9 eye shadows. The highest level of water-soluble trivalent chromium was about 10 mg/kg in spite of 90,000 mg/kg of total chromium. The results of animal sensitization tests show that 200 mg/kg of trivalent chromium and 5 mg/kg of hexavalent chromium have no harmful effect. No cross-reaction among these metals was found. Accordingly, the concentrations of water-soluble chromium in makeup products seemed to be safe. The overall results indicate that chromium in cosmetics probably have no significant toxicological effects. However, It is necessary to set guidelines on the maximum permissible concentration of water-soluble chromium in cosmetics.

The present investigation was performed to purify bombesin-like immunoreactivity (BBS-LI) from the skin of frogs, B. orientalis inhabiting Korea. For extraction of BBS-LI, the fresh skin of 360 g from frogs was immersed in 1,800 ml of 100% methanol and then kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. BBS-LI was partially purified by liquid chromatography using an alkaline alumina column followed by a Sephadex G-10 column. BBS-LI was further purified by using sequential HPLC of reversed phase C18 preparation, gel permeation, SP-ion exchange and reversed phase C18 analysis. BBS-LI in fractions of each step was monitored by radioimmunoassay for which bombesin antiserum with a titer of 1 : 188,800 was raised in a guinea pig. Eventually, two different BBS-LI were successfully purified and each BBS-LI showed the following character. 1) BBS-LI was well separated into two peaks in SP-ion exchange HPLC. One (BBS-LI-K1) bound to the column while the other (BBS-LI-K2) did not. 2) BBS-LI-K1, 73.8% of total BBS-LI, was not differentiated from synthetic bombesin in reversed phase C18 analytical and gel permeation HPLC. 3) BBS-LI-K2, 26.2% of total BBS-LI, eluted later than synthetic bombesin in reversed phase C18 analytical HPLC, but it eluted with a retention time identical to that of synthetic bombesin in gel permeation HPLC. 4) The two forms of BBS-LI and synthetic bombesin identically stimulated gastrin release and pancreatic exocrine secretion including volume, protein output and amylase output in anesthetized rats. It is concluded from the above results that the skin of B. orientalis contains two different forms of BBS-LI which are very identical to bombesin immunologically and biologically. In comparison with synthetic bombesin containing 14 amino acid residues, the major form shows quite similar pattern in all HPLC used in the present study, but the minor form exhibits quite different pattern in SP-ion exchange and reversed phase C18 analytical HPLG.

경피를 통한 약물 전달 방식에 있어, 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 바늘 없는 주사기 시스템은 레이저와 마이크로젯 인젝터로 구성 되어 있다. 이때 마이크로젯 인젝터의 핵심 메커니즘은 레이저 유도버블이다. 동력원으로 Nd:YAG와 Er:YAG, 두 종류의 레이저가 사용되었다. 버블의 특성을 결정짓는 레이저 변수인 펄스폭, 파장 등이 본 연구에서 고려되었다. Nd:YAG 레이저의 경우에 펄스폭이 버블의 생존 시간보다 짧기 때문에 캐비테이션에 가까운 버블을 형성하는 반면 Er:YAG 레이저의 경우에 펄스폭이 상대적으로 길고 물에서의 흡수가 잘 되기 때문에 보일링 버블이 만들게 된다. 버블 및 마이크로젯의 자세한 움직임은 초고속 카메라를 통해 촬영되었다. 이와 같은 과정을 통하여 마이크로젯의 특성이 버블에 의해 결정되는 것을 본 연구를 통해 관찰되었다. 약물 전달 성능은 기니어피그 조직에 형광물질을 침투한 결과로 부터 분석하였다.
