  • Mugwort (Artemisia montana), which is a perennial plant mainly distributed throughout Northeast Asian regions, has been used as a preferred source of various foods and traditional medicines in Korea. In particular, as essential oils extracted from mugwort were reported to be biologically active, its steam distillate has been widely used to treat various conditions, such as itching, hemorrhoids, and gynecological inflammation. Therefore, efforts have been devoted to develop effective methods for the collection of bioactive essential oils from mugwort. In this study, five mugwort extracts were obtained using different extraction conditions, namely, 6 % ethanol at room temperature and at 80 ℃, pure ethanol, n-hexane, and an adsorbent resin. To evaluate the five extracts of mugwort, area-under-the-curve values (AUCs), chemical profiles, and major bioactive essential oil contents were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). An overall assessment of the volatile components, including essential oils, in the five extracts was conducted using AUCs, and the individual essential oil in each extract was identified. Furthermore, the four major essential oils (1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol, and α-terpineol), which are known to possess anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities, were quantified using authentic chemical standards. Based on the evaluation results, pure ethanol was the best extractant out of the five used in this study. This study provides evaluation results for the five different mugwort extracts and would be helpful for developing extraction methods to efficiently collect the bioactive oil components for medical purposes using chemical profiles of the extracts.

  • Owing to its excellent nutritional value, eggs are among the most important components of the human diet. Gender and environmental factors, such as feed composition, may alter the nutritional profile and quality of eggs. Feed additives have recently been used to enhance the health and productivity of hens, which has resulted in the production of higher-quality eggs. The fungus Cordyceps militaris, a well-established source of traditional medicines, contains potential bioactive metabolites, which prompted us to examine the effects of C. militaris-supplemented diets on the quality of hens' eggs. The hens of two species (Gallus gallus domesticus and Araucana) were fed with one of three different diets: a control diet and diets supplemented with 2% or 5% of C. militaris. Egg quality was determined by measuring the Haugh Unit, yolk color, and shell thickness. In addition, egg and shell densities together with the ratio of yolk to albumen were calculated. Eggshell thickness and yolk color were both enhanced by the addition of C. militaris, whereas Haugh Unit values were somewhat reduced. Egg size, eggshell weight, and yolk and albumen production were all enhanced by C. militaris supplementation. Notably, in hens fed the 2% C. militaris-supplemented diet, enhancement was more evident in the yolk than in the albumen. The overall quality of the egg yolk was enhanced when 2% C. militaris was added to the hens' diet, which led to increases in both yolk color and quantity. Eggshell thickness and weight were also higher among eggs laid by hens fed the supplemented diets. Although these effects differed depending on the chicken species, we established that, in general, C. militaris contributes to improving egg quality.

  • In this study we investigate physical and chemical characteristics of immature and mature skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) roes in fresh and dried forms. Fresh roes were studied for histological structure and also dried by three methods: hot air drying (HD), vacuum drying (VD) and freeze drying (FD). The obtained roe powders were analysed for proximate composition, color value, fatty acid composition, amino acid profile, equivalent umami concentration (EUC) and protein pattern. Unyolked oocytes were more common in immature roes, while fully yolked oocytes were more common in mature roes. All dried tuna roes contained high content of protein and lipid (69.31%-70.55% and 11.14%-16.02%, respectively). The powders obtained by FD provided the highest lightness value (L*). The main fatty acid found in all roe powders was docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (23.49%-27.02%). Glutamic acid, leucine, and aspartic acid were the three most abundant amino acids found in the powders (13.58-14.61, 8.06-8.42, and 7.81-8.39 g/100 g of protein, respectively). The mature roe powder obtained from HD provided the highest EUC value (73.09 g monosodium glutamate/100 g of samples). The protein band at molecular weight of 97 kDa (vitelline) represented the major protein. Therefore, dried tuna roe could be a functional ingredient source of protein and lipid rich in DHA and it also has potential to be used as taste enhancer with umami compound.

  • The kinetic study of rifamycin B production in batch culture of Nocardia mediterranei was undertaken in part of our endeavor to optimize the fermentation condition. The growth parameters such as $\mu$$_{m}$ and Ks values for nitrogen source were evaluated by employing Monod equation. From the experiments, $\mu$$_{m}$ and Ks were 0.15hr$^{-1}$ and 8.35g/1, respectively. The growth kinetics in batch culture was found successfully interpreted by logistic law, i.e., the initial specific growth rate and the maximum cell mass concentration were determined as function of pH and both found to have maxima. For the production of rifamycin B, a non-growth associated production kinetics was employed and the specific productivity as a function of pH was found to have two maximum points. The yield coefficient and the specific productivity were calculated as mean values in production phase. Utilizing these experimental data as a function of pH, the optimal condition for the rifamycin B production was discussed with regad to the pH effect on the cell growth and production of the antibiotic. As a result, growth phase at pH 6.5 and production phase at pH 7.0 were found to be recommended.ded.

  • We aimed to review the current data composition of the Korean Tuberculosis and Post-Tuberculosis Cohort, which was constructed by linking the Korean Tuberculosis Surveillance System (KNTSS; established and operated by the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency since 2000) and the National Health Information Database (NHID; established by the National Health Insurance Service in 2012). The following data were linked: KNTSS data pertaining to patients diagnosed with tuberculosis between 2011 and 2018, NHID data of patients with a history of tuberculosis and related diseases between 2006 and 2018, and data (obtained from the Statistics Korea database) on causes of death. Data from 300 117 tuberculosis patients (177 206 men and 122 911 women) were linked. The rate of treatment success for new cases was highest in 2015 (86.7%), with a gradual decrease thereafter. The treatment success rate for previously treated cases showed an increasing trend until 2014 (79.0%) and decreased thereafter. In total, 53 906 deaths were confirmed among tuberculosis patients included in the cohort. The Korean Tuberculosis and Post-Tuberculosis Cohort can be used to analyze different measurement variables in an integrated manner depending on the data source. Therefore, these cohort data can be used in future epidemiological studies and research on policy-effect analysis, treatment outcome analysis, and health-related behaviors such as treatment discontinuation.

  • The pharmaceutical industry in Bangladesh produces a diverse range of antibiotics for human and animal use, however, waste disposal management is inadequate. This results in substantial quantities of antibiotics being discharged into water bodies, which provide suitable environment for the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, capable of spreading resistance genes. This study intended for exploring the bacterial antibiotic resistance profile in adjoining aquatic environmental sources of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh. Seven surface water samples were collected from the vicinity of two pharmaceutical industries located in the Savar area and 51 Escherichia coli isolates were identified using both phenotypic and genotypic methods. Antibiotic susceptibility tests revealed the highest percentage of resistance against ampicillin, azithromycin, and nalidixic acid (100%) and the lowest resistance against meropenem (1.96%) out of sixteen different antibiotics tested. 100% of the study E. coli isolates were observed with Multidrug resistance phenotypes, with the Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) value ranging from 0.6-1.0. Furthermore, 69% of the isolates were Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) positive as per the Double Disk Diffusion Synergy Test (DDST). ESBL resistance genes blaTEM, blaCTX-M-13, blaCTX-M-15, and blaSHV were detected in 70.6% (n = 36), 60.8% (n = 32), 54.9% (n = 28), and 1.96% (n = 1) of the isolates, respectively, by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Additionally, 15.68% (n = 8) of the isolates were positive for E. coli specific virulence genes in PCR. These findings suggest that pharmaceutical wastewater, if not properly treated, could be a formidable source of antibiotic resistance spread in the surrounding aquatic environment. Therefore, continued surveillance for drug resistance among bacterial populations around drug manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh is necessary, along with proper waste disposal management.

  • 광학측정기법 중 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계는 기존 3차원 측정기법과 비교하여 광학 하드웨어 구조가 측정과정동안 고정되어 있어, 대물렌즈나 대상물체의 수직 스캐닝 없이 단지 광원의 주파수만 특정한 주파수 밴드내에서 스캐닝 하여 대상물체에 주사되므로, 우수한 광학 측정 성능을 보인다. 광원의 주파수를 변경하여 간섭계를 통해 간섭 영상을 획득한 후, 밝기 영상 데이터를 주파수 영역 데이터로 변환하고, 고속 푸리에 변환을 통한 주파수 분석을 이용하여 대상 물체의 높이 정보를 계측한다. 하지만, 대상물체의 광학적 특성에 기인한 광학노이즈와 주파수 스캐닝동안 획득되는 영상의 수에 따라 증가하는 영상처리시간은 여전히 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계의 문제이다. 이를 위해, 1) 편광기반 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계가 광학 노이즈에 대한 강인성을 확보하기 위해 제안되어진다. 시스템은 주파수 변조 레이저, 참조 거울 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 대상 물체 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 편광 광분배기, 이미지 센서 앞단의 편광기, 광섬유 광원 앞단의 편광기, 편광 광분배기와 광원의 편광기 사이에 위치하는 ${\lambda}/2$ 판으로 구성된다. 제안된 시스템을 이용하여, 편광을 기반으로한 간섭이미지의 대조대비를 조절할 수 있다. 2) 신호처리 고속화 방법이 간섭계 시스템을 위해 제안되며, 이는 그래픽 처리 유닛(GPU)과 같은 병렬처리 하드웨어와 계산 통합 기기 구조(CUDA)와 같은 프로그래밍 언어로 구현된다. 제안된 방법을 통해 신호처리 시간은 실시간 처리가 가능한 작업시간을 얻을 수 있었다. 최종적으로 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 시스템을 정확도와 신호처리 시간의 관점으로 평가하였고, 실험결과를 통해 제안한 시스템이 광학측정기법의 실적용을 위해 효율적임을 보였다.

  • 태양전지 제조공정에서 열처리로 레이저를 사용하는 도핑공정은 태양전지의 성능을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 퍼니스를 이용하는 공정에서는 선택적으로 고농도(Heavy) 도핑영역을 형성하기가 어렵다. 레이저를 사용한 선택적 도핑의 경우 고가의 레이저 장비가 요구되어지며, 레이저 도핑 후 고온의 에너지로 인한 웨이퍼의 구조적 손상 문제가 발생된다. 본 연구는 저가이면서 코로나 방전 구조의 대기압 플라즈마 소스를 제작하였고, 이를 통한 선택적 도핑에 관한 연구를 하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 제트는 Ar 가스를 주입하여 수십 kHz 주파수를 인가하여 플라즈마를 발생시키는 구조로 제작하였다. P-type 웨이퍼(Cz)에 인(P)이 shallow 도핑 된(120 Ohm/square) PSG (Phosphorus Silicate Glass)가 제거되지 않은 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 도핑 공정 처리시간은 15 s와 30 s이며, 플라즈마 전류는 40 mA와 70 mA로 처리하였다. 웨이퍼의 도핑프로파일은 SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy)측정을 통하여 분석하였으며, 도핑프로파일로 전기적 특성인 면저항(sheet resistance)을 파악하였다. 도펀트로 사용된 PSG에 대기압 플라즈마 제트로 도핑공정을 처리한 결과 전류와 플라즈마 처리시간이 증가됨에 따라 도핑깊이가 깊어지고, 면저항이 향상하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 도핑 후 웨이퍼의 표면구조 손상파악을 위한 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) 측정결과 도핑 전과 후 웨이퍼의 표면구조는 차이가 없음을 확인하였으며, 대기압 플라즈마 도핑 폭도 전류와 플라즈마 처리시간이 증가됨에 따라 증가하였다.
