This study investigated the effects of pectinase treatment and skin contact time on the quality characteristics of Dae-hong peach wine. Wine was produced with variations in enzyme treatment and skin contact time (1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day, 2 days, and until the completion of fermentation). Enzyme treatment increased the production yield by 6%, as well as ethanol and redness levels, compared to the non-treated control. Volatile components were higher when the skin contact time was 2 hours or 1 day. Results were compared according to enzyme treatment and skin contact time and found to be influenced by methanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. Enzyme treatment effectively enhanced yields and volatile compound contents. However, skin contact should be concluded a day before 1 day to ensure compliance with methanol legislative requirements. Therefore, our findings show that enzymatic treatment with shorter skin contact time preserves the distinctive characteristics of Dae-hong peaches and ensures the production of safe and flavorful wine.

We investigated the effect of the cell-wall-degrading enzyme and its skin contact time on the brewing characteristics of Cheongsoo grape. The easy of juice extraction was excellent at the cell-wall-degrading enzyme and skin contact treatments, and the aroma was best after five days of skin contact treatment. Furthermore, the juice yields of the Chengsoo grape were more dramatically increased by the cell-wall-degrading enzyme and skin contact treatments than by the control. The data on the pH, total acidity, and soluble solids did not significantly differ among the treatments, and the pH range from 3.1 to 3.4; the total acidity from 0.5% to 0.6% (as tartaric acid); and the soluble solids, from 6.7 to 7.1 $^{\circ}Brix$. The alcohol content of cell-wall-degrading enzyme treatment was highest with 13.3%. The total polyphenol was gradually increased with the longer skin contact time, and was highest after 10 days of skin contact treatment, at 306.4 mg/L. The main organic acids detected in the Cheongsoo wine were malic and tartaric acid, and citric, succinic and lactic acid were also detected. Our results show that the cell-wall-degrading enzyme and skin contact treatments were better in terms of the easy of juice extraction and significantly increased the juice yield and the volatile compound of the Cheongsoo wine.

Danored is considered as the most favorable grape variety for national wine manufacturing in terms of sugar, organic acid contents, annual production amount, as well as quality control convenience after harvest. This study was canied out to know the influence of suspended solid(SS) and skin contact time(SCT) with Danored variety on the white wine quality. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Suspended solid and skin contact time did not greatly influence on the chemical composition of Danored juice. But skin contact time provided slightly increaseness to the content of phenol compounds 2. Suspended solid accelerated fermentation rate of white wine manufacturing. Although the content of suspended solid are less amount than 0.3% in must, wine fermentation was completed to dryness in concentration of sugar. 3. When the content of suspended solid was around 3%, higher alcohol in white wine was increased by the 20%. This result is relatively small increasement compared to the other reported results. 4. Because Danored contained less amount of phenol compounds comparison with other grape varieties, browning capacity in white wine was much favorable to quite low concentration. Especially, phenolic compounds was decreased remarkably as one of fermentation characteristics of Danored variety. 5. As a result of sensory evaluation, wine quality was A-1> B-1> A-2> B-2 in its favorable ranking orders. It was so concluded that A-1 might be the most acceptable one from this study.

Real-time measurements of skin movement induced by air blown on the surface was measured with time. We investigated age-related changes in displacement of the skin surface on the face or the inner upper arm caused by air on 98 Japanese women volunteers aged from 10 to 70 years old. The maximum distance (the denting state) that the skin moved reached 2-5 mm within 10-15 msec on the cheek skin. After that, the skin generally recovered to the original state within 40-50 msec. The maximum speed of movement was 0.5 m/sec and the recovery speed was about 0.25 m/sec on the cheek skin. Significant changes with age were not observed in the denting state, but a significant correlation with age was observed in the recovery state. For example, the maximum recovery speed decreased significantly with age (p=-0.568, p<0.001) and the time required for recovery increased significantly with age (p=0.561, p<0.001). Although the inner upper arm also showed similar results to a cheek, a few parameters were different. This apparatus is a more practical macroscopic system for evaluating skin mechanical properties without contact. This apparatus is effective not only for measuring the mechanical properties of facial skin but also of body skin, such as swelling or sagging of body parts.

In this paper a novel mathematical model and its analytical solution of global buckling behaviour of slender elastic concrete-filled double-skin tubular (CFDST) columns with finite compliance between the steel tubes and a sandwiched concrete core is derived for the first time. The model is capable of investigating the influence of various basic parameters on critical buckling loads of CFDST columns. It is shown that the elastic buckling load of circular and slender CFDST columns is independent on longitudinal contact stiffness, but, on the other hand, it can be considerably dependent on circumferential contact stiffness. The increasing of the circumferential contact stiffness increases the critical buckling load. Furthermore, it is shown that analytical results can agree well with the experimental and numerical results if the calibrated values of circumferential contact stiffness are used in the calculations. Moreover, it is shown that the contact between the steel tubes and a sandwiched concrete core of tested large-scale CFDST columns used in the comparison is relatively weak. Finally, the proposed analytical results can be used as a benchmark solution.

Various kinds of positive effects of green tea extracts had been studied for long time which included anti-inflammation, anti-aging, and cardiometabolic effects. Although topical steroid and non-steroidal calcineurin inhibitors may control clinical symptoms of allergic contact dermatitis, some of patients also present allergic reaction to these topical agents. Therefore, we have tried green tea extracts for managing this skin disorder with expectation of anti-inflammatory effect without potential side effects including skin irritation and toxic responses. The toxicity test of green tea extract also did not show any sign of irritation in the skin throughout the test period. Moderate severity of allergic contact dermatitis presented satisfactory clinical outcome at second week follow-up which was final visit of outpatient. This result mean that green tea extract has a positive effect for managing allergic contact dermatitis but its potency and efficacy seem to be so not strong enough to control moderate severity allergy skin lesion. In this pilot study, we were able to conclude that green tea cell extracts might be applied for potential anti-inflammatory soaking without skin toxicity.

Background and Objectives: Allergic contact dermatitis is a common environmental health issue and seriously affect the patient's quality of life. The more our environment industrialized, the number of material that could cause the allergic contact dermatitis has been increased, consequently the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis has been increased. In oriental medicine, clinically Chogam-Tang has been used fur the treatment of allergic dermatitis, eczema, atopic dermatitis etc. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Chogam-Tang on allergic contact dermatitis Meterial and Methods: Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: normal, control, experimental group. Control and experimental group were induced allergic contact dermatitis, by DNCB. Experimental group was orally administered the Chogam-Tang. Each group was observed after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Contact hypersensitivity assay, melanin-erythema measurement, pH measurement skin moisture measurement and biopsy were performed. Results: 1. In contact hypersensitivity assay, experimental group showed decreased ear swelling compared with control group at 48hours. 2. ln melanin measurement there was no difference in three groups. 3. In erythema measurement experimental group showed reduction at 48. 72 hours. 4. In pH measurement, experimental group and control group showed increase in pH but there was no statistical significance. 5. In skin moisture measurement, experimental group showed higher skin moisture level than control group at 24 hours and showed lower skin moisture level at 72 hours, but there was no statistical significance. 6. In biopsy, experimental group showed decrement of Iymphocyte as time goes by, and regeneration of keratin layer was increased compared with normal group. Conclusions: Chogam-Tang shows anti-inflammatory effect in biopsy, improves hydration levels of skin, decreases erythema level on allergic contact dermatitis.

Background: Occupational skin diseases are skin conditions that occur or worsen in relation to work and known to be the second most common type of occupational disease affecting individuals in the United States. In Korea, epidemiological reports related to occupational skin diseases are rare. But, no cases of occupational contact dermatitis caused by welding and grinding work have been reported previously. Case presentation: Nine male workers working in the production department for liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships in Ulsan complained of erythematous papules/patches and itching in various areas of the body after welding and grinding work. The work environment monitoring report revealed that the amount of nickel dust exceeded the time weighted average (TWA) and poor local ventilation status. Based on the symptoms and the overall results of surveys, several tests, and work environment monitoring report, the 2 workers who had positive patch-test reactions to nickel were diagnosed with nickel dust-induced allergic contact dermatitis. The other 7 workers were diagnosed that there was a high probability that they had nickel dust-induced irritant contact dermatitis. The 2 workers who had nickel dust-induced allergic contact dermatitis were recommended to switch their jobs. Conclusions: Nickel is one of the most common cause of allergic contact dermatitis. In this case, the dust was assumed to be created by welding work with a high nickel content new welding rod and subsequent grinding work, and the concentration of this dust exceeded the time weighted average. Thus, it is thought that the nickel dust may have caused contact dermatitis through continuous contact with the workers' exposed skin in a poorly ventilated space. Currently, several domestic shipbuilding companies are manufacturing LNG tankers using a new construction method. Consequently, it is highly likely that similar cases will occur in the future, which makes this case report meaningful.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an inflammatory skin disease and regarded as a prototype of T-cell mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Aroma Oil Complex (AOC) is composed of lavender true oil, chamomile roman oil and tea tree oil. This study was performed to assess the effects of AOC in a canine model of ACD. ACD was induced on the back of dogs induced by sensitization and repeated application by 2,4-dinitro-1-chlorobenzene (DNCB). Topical treatment of AOC was applied once a day for 8 days and skin biophysical parameters including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin thickness and erythema index, were measured every two days during experimental periods. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect. In skin biophysical parameters, TEWL, skin hydration, skin thickness and erythema index were significantly increased, with a maximum increase appeared on day 2 (p<0.05). After the completion of AOC treatment, skin biophysical parameters were significantly reached those of baseline in a time-dependent manner (p<0.05). In histopathology, marked increases of epidermal thicknesses were induced after DNCB challenge with numerous inflammatory cell infiltrations and edematous changes, decreases of connective tissue occupied regions in dermis. In addition, marked increases of cytokine - tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$)-immunoreactivities in the dermis and of apoptotic markers - caspase-3 and PARP-immunoreactivities in the epidermis were observed in DNCB control as compared with intact control, respectively (p<0.01). The decrease of infiltrated inflammatory cells and related decreases of pro-inflammatory cytokine immunoreactivities were observed in AOC treated skin (p<0.01). Based on these findings, AOC may have anti-inflammatory and alleviatory effects in the allergic contact dermatitis.
