Activation of Sphingosine kinase (Sphk) increases a bioactive lipid, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and has been observed in a variety of cancer cells. Therefore, inhibition of Sphk activity was an important target for the development of anticancer drugs. As a searching tool for Sphk inhibitor, we developed fluorescent Sphk activity assay combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Previously we established murine teraticarcinoma mutant F9-12 cells which lack S1P lyase and stably express Sphk1. By using F9-12 cells, optimal assay conditions were established as follows; $100\;{\mu}M\;of\;C_{17}-Sph\;and\;30\;{\mu}g$ protein of F9-12 cells lysate in 20 min. Sphingosine analog $C_{17}-Sph$ was efficiently phosphorylated by Sphk activity ($K_{m}:67.08\;{\mu}M,\;V_{max}\;:1507.5\;pmol/min/mg$). New product $C_{17}-S1P$ was separated from S1P in reversed-phase HPLC. In optimized conditions, 300 nM of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) increased Sphk activity approximately twice while $20\;{\mu}M$ of N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) reduced 70% of Sphk activity in F9-12 cells lysate. In conclusion, we established non-radioactive but convenient Sphk assay system by using HPLC and F9-12 cells.

Obesity, which is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissues, occurs by fat absorption by lipase and sequential fat accumulation in adipocyte through adipocyte differentiation. Thus, inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity and adipocyte differentiation would be crucial for the prevention and progression of obesity. In the present study, we attempted to evaluate anti-adipogenic activity of several algae extracts employing preadipocytes cell line, 3T3-L1 as an in vitro assay system. The effects on pancreatic lipase activity in vitro were also evaluated. Total methanolic extracts of Cladophora wrightiana and Costaria costata showed significant inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation as assessed by measuring fat accumulation using Oil Red O staining. Related to pancreatic lipase, C. wrightiana and Padina arborescens showed significant inhibition. Further fractionation of C. wrightiana, which showed the most potent activity, suggested that $CHCl_3$ and n-BuOH fraction are responsible for adipocyte differentiation inhibition, whereas n-BuOH and $H_2O$ fraction for pancreatic lipase inhibition. Our study also demonstrated that n-BuOH fraction was effective both in early and middle stage of differentiation whereas $CHCl_3$ fraction was effective only in early stage of differentiation. Taken together, algae might be new candidates in the development of obesity treatment.

In this study, peach powder-added chocolate and chocolate-covered freeze-dried peach snack were developed, and their physicochemical and bioactive properties were characterized. To make the chocolate, 0~15% of peach powders made of Fantasia cultivar were used. To make freeze-dried peach snack, three types of peach cultivars were tested: Mihwang, Kanoiwa Hakuto, andFantasia. In the case of chocolate, sugar content increased and pH decreased as peach powder content increased. Upon 15% peach powder addition, chocolate showed significant increase in flavonoid content and reducing power. In the case of freeze-dried peach snack, phenol content and antioxidant activity were significantly high in the Mihwang cultivar among the three types of peach cultivars tested. These results can be applied to the development of new food products using peach while maintaining its original physicochemical and bioactive properties.

The development of the education system and the labor market today requires new conditions for unification and functioning, the introduction of an innovative culture in the field of Education. The construction of modern management of innovative development of a higher education institution requires consideration of the existing theoretical, methodological and practical planes on which its formation is based. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the modern paradigm of organizing the mechanism of managing the innovative development of higher education institutions. Innovation in education is represented not only by the final product of applying novelty in educational and managerial processes in order to qualitatively improve the subject and objects of management and obtain economic, social, scientific, technical, environmental and other effects, but also by the procedure for their constant updating. The classification of innovations in education is presented. Despite the positive developments in the development of Education, numerous problems remain in this area, which is discussed in the article. The concept of innovative development of higher education institutions is described, which defines the prerequisites, goals, principles, tasks and mechanisms of university development for a long-term period and should be based on the following principles: scientific, flexible, efficient and comprehensive. The role of the motivational component of the mechanism of innovative development of higher education institutions is clarified, which allows at the strategic level to create an innovative culture and motivation of innovative activity of each individual, to make a choice of rational directions for solving problems, at the tactical level - to form motives for innovative activity in the most effective directions, at the operational level - to monitor the formation of a system of motives and incentives, to adjust the directions of motivation. The necessity of the functional component of the mechanism, which consists in determining a set of steps and management decisions aimed at achieving certain goals of innovative development of higher education institutions, is proved. The monitoring component of the mechanism is aimed at developing a special system for collecting, processing, storing and distributing information about the stages of development of higher education institutions, prediction based on the objective data on the dynamics and main trends of its development, and elaboration of recommendations.

Background: The flowering plant Hippophae rhamnoides L. has been used for many studies on fruit or leaf extracts. This study was conducted to investigate the development of a new cosmetic material from H. rhamnoides fruits and leaves that have by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wrinkle improvement activities. Methods and Results: The antioxidant abilities of H. rhamnoides extracts, including of a water-soluble fruit powder (FW), a fatsoluble fruit powder (FF), a supercritical extract of fruit by-product (BS), and a mixture of leaf and fruit (MIX), were investigated in vitro. A DPPH radical assay for antioxidant activity was performed for these fractions alongside assay to evaluate the total phenolic and flavonoid content (TPC and TFC). As expected, the MIX had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity ($RC_{50}=10.27{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), and the TPC and TFC also were highest in MIX ($225.7mg{\cdot}GAE/g$, and $25.18mg{\cdot}QE/g$, respectively). Nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells was estimated and the results indicated an over 75% decrease of NO production in FF and MIX. In other assays, the highest elastase inhibitory activity was found in FW. Conclusions: These results revealed that H. rhamnoides extracts have a high potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiwrinkle activities. H. rhamnoides products are suggested to be applied as the functional materials of cosmetic ingredients.

본 논문은 효소 생전환 시스템을 적용, 안정한 2-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA2G)를 ascorbic acid (AA)와 glucose로 분해하여 이 물질의 피부에서의 효과를 분석한 것에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 AA는 높은 환원력을 가지고 있으며, 화장품에서 다양한 용도로 사용할 수 있지만 수용액 상에서 불안정하기 때문에 사용에 제약이 많이 있다. AA2G는 AA를 안정화시킨 미백 기능성 원료이지만 AA와 비교해서 효과가 낮은 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구자들은 AA2G의 안정성과 AA의 효과를 동시에 갖는 효소 생전환 시스템을 이용한 기능성 제품을 개발하였다. AA2G는 당 분해 효소인 amigase에 의해 30min 경과 후에 약 $80\%$가 AA로 전환되며 이 시스템의 미백 효과를 측정한 결과 같은 농도의 AA와 비교해 유사한 티로시나제 활성 억제 효과가 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다(AA2G는 타이로시나아제 활성 억제 효과가 없음). 또한 AA2G와 amigase를 함유한 제형은 인공 색소 침착 후의 미백 효과 시험에서 AA2G 만을 함유한 제형과 비교하여 높은 미백효과가 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 효소 생전환 시스템은 불안정한 AA를 보다 효과적으로 피부에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 방법이라 할 수 있다.
