Background: In aged skin, degradation of collagen fibers, which occupy the majority of the extracellular matrix in the dermis, and changes of aquaporin 3 (AQP3) and skin constituents, such as hyaluronic acid and ceramide, cause wrinkles and decrease skin moisturization to contribute to dryness and lower elasticity skin. Red ginseng (RG) is used as a cosmetic and food material and is known to protect from UVB-induced cell death, increase skin hydration, prevent wrinkles, and have an antioxidative effect. But, in general, RG used as a material is the soluble liquid portion in the solvent, and the part that is not soluble in the solvent is discarded. Thus, we made the whole RG into microgranulation and dispersed in water to produce gel form for using entire RG, and it was named red ginseng NaturalGEL (RG NGEL). Methods: RG NGEL was investigated for matrix metalloproteinases inhibitory activity, induction of Type I collagen, AQP3, hyaluronan synthetase 2, serine palmitoyl transferase, ceramide synthase 3, and filaggrin expression and compared with RG water extract. Results: RG NGEL reduced the levels of UV-induced matrix metalloproteinases and increased Type I collagen in human fibroblast cells and upregulated AQP3, hyaluronan synthetase 2, serine palmitoyl transferase, ceramide synthase 3, and filaggrin expressions in human keratinocytes compared with RG water extract. Conclusion: RG NGEL has the potential as an effective reagent for antiaging cosmetics to improve wrinkle formation and skin hydration.

미량성분 첨가에 의한 클링커내 고온형의 C2S상의 합성과 혼합재에 의한 수화 활성도의 증진을 시도하였다. 미량성분으로 첨가한 borax와 Ca3(PO4)2의 경우 모두 고온형을 합성하였으나, borax의 경우가 더 효과적이었다. 즉 borax의 경우 1.5~3 wt%의 첨가로 고온형의 α-C2S의 합성을 용이하게 하였다. borax를 첨가하여 합성한 클링커를 분쇄하고, 무수 석고 (5wt%) 와 슬래그 (30 wt%, 40 wt%, 50 wt%)를 첨가하여 수화시켰다. 무수 석고와 50%슬래그 첨가시 수화활성도 증진은 수화 1일에는 별 효과를 보이지 않았으나, 7일 이후 강도 발현이 좋았으며, 압축강도는 슬래그를 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 28일 강도에서 약 2배의 증진을 나타내었다.

Water that is treated by passing through a magnetic field of certain strength is called Magnetic Field Treated Water(MFTW). Previous research indicate that use of MFTW can save 5% of cement dosage, decrease bleeding of concrete, and improve resistance to freezing. The reason why MFTW can improve characteristics of concrete can be explained by the molecular structure of water. Magnetic force can break apart water clusters into single molecules or smaller ones, therefore, the activity of water is improved. While hydration of cement particles is in progress, the MFTW can penetrate the core region of cement particles more easily. Hence, hydration takes place more efficiently which in turn improves concrete compressive strength. Test results demonstrate that the compressive strength of the sodium silicate cement grout homogel increases by approximately 20 - 50% by using the MFTW.

The amount of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) released while producing building materials is substantial and has been targeted as a leading contributor to global climate change. One of the most typical methods of reducing $CO_2$ in building materials is the addition of slag and fly ash, like pozzolan material another method is to reduce $CO_2$ production by developing carbon negative cement. MgO-based cement from the low-temperature calcination of magnesite required less energy and emitted less $CO_2$ than the manufacturing of Portland cements. It is also believed that adding reactive MgO to Portland-pozzolan cements can improve their performance and also increase their capacity to absorb atmospheric $CO_2$. In this study, basic research on magnesia cement using $MgCO_3$ and magnesium silicate ore (serpentine) as the main starting materials, as well as blast furnace slag for the mineral admixture, was carried out for industrial waste material recycling. In order to increase the overall hydration activity, $MgCl_2$ was also added. In the case of the addition of $MgCl_2$as accelerating admixture, there was a promoting effect on the compressive strength. This was found to be due to the production of needle-like dense Mg-Cl hydrates. Mgnesia cement has a high viscosity due to its high specific surface area therefore, when the PC-based dispersing agent was added at a level of more than 1.0%, it had the effect of improving fluidity. In particular, the addition of $MgCl_2$ in magnesia cement using $MgCO_3$and magnesium silicate ore (serpentine) as main starting materials led to a lower expansion ratio and an increase in the freeze-thaw resistance finally, the addition of $MgCl_2$ as accelerating admixture led to good overall durability.

An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete mixtures in which coarse aggregate was partially (30, 50 or 70 %) replaced with pre-washed municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash. Results indicated that bottom ash reduced the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and levels of heavy metals in leachate when used as a replacement for gravel, and that the maximum amount of MSWI bottom ash in concrete should not exceed 50 %. To analyze the effect mechanism of bottom ash in concrete, the degree of hydration and the following pozzolanic reaction characterized by the pozzolanic activity index, and the porosity distribution in cement mortar. The study indicates that improved properties of concrete are not solely later strength gain and reduced levels of heavy metals in leachate but also the progression of pozzolanic reactions, where a dense structure contains a higher proportion of fine pores that are related to durability.

Daunomycin, an anthracycline antibiotic, has been found to inhibit virus multiplication and shows considerable activity against tumors. Its activity may be varied by conformational changes of daunomycin. The conformational changes are come from the pucker of D-ring and variation of environments. We have carried out conformational analyses by using empirical potential function. We found that when daunomycin is hydrated or bound to $Mg^{2+}$ ion, the minimum conformer of each state is altered from ${\alpha}$ conformer to ${\beta}$ conformer through the pathway having four local minima. Our calculated results are in good agreements with those of X-ray crystallography and biological experiments, in which metal ion inhibits the binding of daunomycin to DNA.

본 연구에서는 굴피나무 수피 추출물의 항산화, 미백 및 주름생성억제에 관한 효과를 측정하였다. 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)은 50% 에탄올 추출물($6.75{\mu}g/mL$) < 당을 제거시킨 aglycone 분획(6.62) < ethyl acetate 분획(4.15) 순으로 증가하였다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 총항산화능은 ethyl acetate 분획($OSC_{50}$, $0.56{\mu}g/mL$) < 50% 에탄올 추출물(0.02) < 당을 제거시킨 aglycone 분획(0.01) 순으로 당을 제거시킨 aglycone 분획에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 굴피나무 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 보호효과를 조사하였다. 50% 에탄올 추출물의 경우 농도 의존적($1{\sim}50{\mu}g/mL$)으로 광용혈을 억제하였다. 특히 ethyl acetate 분획은 $10{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 717.27 min으로 매우 큰 세포보호 활성을 나타내었다. 미백 및 주름억제 효과측정으로는 각각 tyrosinase와 elastase의 활성 저해 효과를 측정하였다. Tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 50% 에탄올 추출물 ($243.98{\mu}g/mL$) < ethyl acetate 분획(153.87) < 당을 제거시킨 aglycone 분획(137.53) 순으로 나타났고, elastase의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)도 50% 에탄올 추출물($31.01{\mu}g/mL$) < ethyl acetate 분획(14.42) < 당을 제거시킨 aglycone 분획(1.48) 순으로, aglycone 분획이 매우 큰 활성 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 굴피나무 추출물 중 ethyl acetate 분획을 함유하는 크림을 제조하고, 이를 피부에 도포한 후, 피부 수분 보유량, 경표피 수분 손실량 그리고 미백효과를 측정하였다. 추출물 함유 크림은 대조군(placebo)보다 수분 보유량을 $2{\sim}8%$ 증가시켰고, 경표피 수분 손실량은 감소시켰다. 또한 추출물 함유 크림은 대조군에 비해 멜라닌 생성을 9.55% 감소시켰다. 이상의 결과들은 굴피나무 추출물이 항산화 활성과 더불어 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, tyrosinase 및 elastase의 활성 저해 효과와 이를 통한 인체 시험의 결과로부터 미백 기능성 화장품 원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
