In recent years, the safety of sunscreens has been challenged based on the reports of their adverse effect on users; dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and photo allergic contact dermatitis. The unscientific idea that higher SPF sunsreen is good for health mealeads many users to tend to prefer higher SPF sunscreen. In the toxicological aspect, the need to investigate the safety of sunscreens is steadily increasing. However, there were few studies on the correlation between sun protection factor (SPF) and the safety of sunscreens. The objective of this study was to assess whether there was a correlation between SPF and the safety of sunscreens. We measured in vitro SPF index using homosalate as a standard and examined the toxicity tests such as primary skin irritation tests, ocular irritation test and skin sensitization test. Homosalate (HS), octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), octyl salicylate (OS), octocrylene (OC) as UVB organic filter and benzophenone-3 (BP3), butyl methoxy dibenzoil methane (BMDM) as UVA organic filter, and titanium dioxide (TD), zinc oxide (ZO) as inorganic filters were used. The skin irritation indexes in rabbits treated with HS, OMC, OS, BP3, and BMDM were significantly increased as SPF indices were increased. Neither ocular irritation in rabbits nor skin sensitization in guinea pigs were increased. It suggests that there might be a good correlation between SPF and the skin irritation indices of organic UV filters and skin irritation might be one of most sensitive index to assess the safety of sunscreens.

자외선에 의해 자외선 차단 효율이 상승하는 선크림에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (OMC)는 가장 널리 쓰이는 자외선 차단제이고, OMC에 대한 광안정성 연구는 오랫동안 수행되어왔다. OMC는 자외선에 의해 trans구조가 cis구조로 변하거나, dimer를 비롯한 광반응물을 생성하여 자외선 차단효율이 떨어진다고 알려져 왔다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 OMC나 isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate(IMC)와 같이 메톡시신나메이트 구조를 공유하는 자외선 차단제들이 실제 사용조건과 유사한 조건에서 자외선에 노출 시키고 잘 설계된 실험 방법으로 in vitro SPF 수치를 측정하였을 때 오히려 자외선 차단 효율이 증가하는 것을 발견하였다. 이것은 자외선에 의해서 생성된 광반응물과 OMC간의 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking을 통한 ${\pi}-{\pi}^*$ 전이 에너지 변화(UV activated transition) 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 이 발견을 선크림 개발에 적용하기 위해서는 함께 사용되는 에몰리언트의 극성 및 상용성을 적절히 고려해야 한다. 상용성이 좋은 극성 에몰리언트를 포함하면 자외선에 의해 OMC가 광반응물을 생성하지 않기 때문에 발견의 효과가 감소하는 것으로 보인다. 이러한 작용 기전(UV activated SPF boosting)을 바탕으로 상업용 수준의 선크림을 제조하여 평가해보았다. 그 결과 자외선(2 MED)에 노출되었을 때 in vitro SPF 수치는 50.69에서 72.33으로 42.69%로 증가하였고 in vivo SPF 평가에서는 53.7을 얻어 같은 조건의 대조군의 선크림(SPF 34.4 이하) 대비 56.10% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 따라서 OMC와 IMC가 특정 조건에서 UV sensor처럼 작용하여, 자외선에 노출 되었을 때 자외선 차단 효율을 높일 수 있는 선크림을 제조할 수 있었다.

최근의 소비자들은 waterproof 기능을 가진 광범위한 UV 차단 제품을 선호하며, 피부 안전성에도 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. NR method로 세포 자극성(in-vitro)을 실험한 결과, UV-B의 자외선 차단제들은 0.08 w/v% 이상에서 세포의 생존율이 떨어졌고, UV-A의 자외선 차단제들은 0.06 w/v% 이상에서 세포의 생존율이 떨어졌다. 무기 자외선 차단제들의 patch-test는 각각 10.5와 11.25 이하로 피부에 자극성은 없었다. UV 흡수 곡선, UV-B는 octyl methoxycinnamate(OMC), UV-A는 butyl methoxy dibenzoylmethane(BMDM) 가장 적합하였다. 따라서, 유기 자외선 차단제는 OMC와 BMDM이 nylon과 polyethylene에 코팅된 원료인 $Nylonpoly^{TM}$ UVA/UVB을 사용하였다. 무기 자외선 차단제는 zinc oxide(ZnO)와 titanium dioxide($TiO_2$)를 사용하였다. ZnO와 $TiO_2$의 혼합 비율은 6:4가 적당하였다. 총 UV차단제의 함량은 ZnO 6%, $TiO_2$ 4%와 $Nylonpoly^{TM}$ UVA/UVB 5%를 썬 스크린 크림에 혼합하였다. In-vi-tro의 SPF값은 38.9이었다. 응용으로, 동일 함량을 넣은 O/W type과 W/S type의 썬 스크린 크림을 만들어 시간 경과에 따른 SPF를 측정한 결과, SPF가 O/W type보다 W/S type이 5배 이상 오래 지속되었다. 이것은 해수욕, 등산, 스키를 탈 경우에 효과적이다. 본 연구는 자외선 차단제의 피부 트러블을 최소화하고자 하였으며, 매끄러움성, 피부 안전성과 자외선 차단 효과가 우수한 화장품이라고 생각되어진다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of the transformed Lactobacillus reuteri Pg4 (T-Pg4) harboring the ${\beta}$-glucanase gene as a poultry probiotic. The probiotic properties of the T-Pg4 strain were evaluated in vitro by their adherence capability and acid and bile salt tolerance, and were evaluated in vivo by their survival and adhesion in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. The results showed that the T-Pg4 strain exhibited resistance to acidic conditions and contact with bile salt, and adhered efficiently to the crop and intestinal epithelial cells of chickens in vitro. The T-Pg4 strain also could survive and colonize the gastrointestinal epithelium of the experimental SPF chickens in vivo. In addition, radial enzyme diffusion was used to demonstrate that the Lactobacillus spp. randomly isolated from the GIT of the SPF chickens fed T-Pg4 possessed ${\beta}$-glucanase secretion capability. These findings have demonstrated that the transformed L. reuteri Pg4 survives transit through the stomach and intestine, and may secrete ${\beta}$-glucanase in the chicken GIT. Therefore, it is suggested that this organism could be used as a multifunctional poultry probiotic.

Cosmetic industries have recently developed sun-block products, which are composed of W/O or O/W emulsion system. It was very difficult for waterproofing product to show the stability in W/O emulsion with $TiO_{2}$. To enhance the stability of W/O emulsion, it needs to be combined with the water and oil soluble components as the gelling agents. The emulsifiers used in W/O were 3.0% of cetyl dimethicone copolyol, 2.0% of sorbitan sesquioleate as the basic emulsifiers, and 0.6% of quaternium-18 bentonite and 1.5% of dextrin palmitate as stabilizer were used. The content of titanium dioxide was optimized up to 8.0%. Titanium dioxide was used as the UV scattering powder coated with $Al_{2}O_{3}$(UV-sperse T40/TN). The sunscreen cream prepared with W/O emulsion system by using QB and DP showed higher stability than that of W/O emulsion system by using each QB and DP. W/O emulsion from Formula 3 for passing one year was very durable more than F1 and F2. Within W/O emulsion by observing F1, F2 and F3 for one year, F3 was more excellent than F2 and F3 when they were observed at RT, $4^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, because F3 used the mixed QB and DP in W/O emulsion. The zeta potential for F1, F2, and F3 after one year were 21, 30 and 43, respectively. From these result F3 was found best stable emulsion. The in-vitro SPF value for F3 was 35 for the initial product at room temperature and also, the in-vitro SPF values of F3 was 32 for after one year. Finally, the mean in-vivo SPF value of 10 volunteers for F3 was 27.3 by the Korea cosmetic association made the rules of SPF.

The aim of the present work was to prepare the nanosuspension of inorganic pigment which shows light reflection and scattering as efficient sunscreen. The zinc oxide (ZnO) was chosen as an inorganic pigment, and high pressure homogenizer and bead mill have been used for the preparation of nanosuspension. The ZnO nanosuspensions were characterized by particle size, in vitro sun protection factor (SPF) and UV transmittance. ZnO nanosuspension prepared by bead mill showed the average diameter of $119{\pm}4\;nm$, resulting in the high value of SPF $(28.74{\pm}2.06,\;n=20)$, while that prepared by high pressure homogenizer showed the average diameter of $751{\pm}32\;nm$ with the relative lower value of SPF $(21.38{\pm}1.94\;n=20)$. In addition, the film of ZnO nanosuspension prepared by bead mill was showed a high visible ray (VIS) transmittance, indicating a high transparency. In conclusion, a physically stable ZnO nanosuspension in cyclomethicone was successfully prepared using bead mill for the suitable sunscreen preparations.

The purpose of this study was the analysis of sperm ability in Specific Pathogen Free (SPE) miniature pig for production of bio-organ. The collected semen was diluted with extender and stored at $17^{\circ}C$t for up to 7 days. The semen samples were evaluated at 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of storage for analysis of sperm ability. Sperm ability was evaluated by examining viability, progressive motility, sperm abnormality and intensity of the sperm membrane. Also, the semen was processed according to the convenient freezing method, and frozen-thawed sperm was evaluated by examining viability, capacitation and acrosome reaction using chlortetracycline (CTC) staining. Motility of spermatozoa of SPF miniature pig was significantly (P<0.05) lower on 3 days or later compared to the Duroc, Yorkshire and Landrace in domestic boar. The percentage of abnormal spermatozoa of Landrace were significantly (P<0.05) higher than in SPF miniature pig, Duroc and Yorkshire that had a similar percentage on 5 or 7 days of sperm storage. The percentage of spermatozoa with coiled tail decreased during the storage period but there were no significant difference. On the other hand, viability of frozen-thawed spermatozoa had a significantly (P<0.05) lower in SPF miniature pig than in other domestic boars. CTC patterns had no significant difference, but SPF miniature pig had higher percentage of capacitated spermatozoa and lower percentage of acrosome-reacted it than domestic boars. Therefore, this study suggest that it is necessary to develop the suitable extender and freezing methods methods for the high viable rate and fertilizing ability in vitro.

The correlation between in vitro Congo-red binding properties of E coli and in vivo invasiveness of the organisms in SPF chickens and mice was investigated. Congo-red positive E coli colonies were dark-red color with a typical colonial morphology of rough appearance when grown on Congo-red medium, while Congo-red negative colonies showed pale-pink color and smooth surfaced colonial morphology. Pathogenicity of 10 Congo-red positive E coli for mice was observed in 92.5% but that of 5 Congo-red negative E coli was 45%. Invasiveness of 10 Congo-red positive E coli for chickens was observed in 96% of the SPF chickens tested but that of 5 Congo-red negative E coli was 16% only. These results of pathogenicity studies with E coli isolates indicate a significant correlation between Congo-red binding ability and virulence in avian Escherichia coli.
