The aim of this study was to investigate the fluoride release and some mechanical properties including 3-point bending strength, amount of abrasion, surface hardness, water sorption/solubility and cytotoxicity of the newly developed composite resins containing 8, 16, 24 wt% $SrF_2$ glass filler (VF8, VF16, VF24) and four commercially available composite resins, Heliomolar(HE), Verdonfil(VE), Z100(ZH) and Aelitefil(AE). To investigate cytotoxic effect, agar overlay assay was done. Amount of fluoride released into distilled water was measured over a 62-days period from VF8, VF16, VF24 and HE. Results were as follows: 1. Experimental composite resins showed similar mechanical properties to commercial composite resins, but 3-point bending strength and surface hardness of experimental composite resins were inferior to ZH. 2. Over a 62-day Period, the amount of fluoride released was ordered: VF24>VF16>VF8>HE. In experimental composite resins, the amount of fluoride released was 9-23 times greater than HE and seemed to be proportional to the content of $SrF_2$ glass filler. 3. Experimental composite resins and all control composite resins showed mild cytotoxicity. This study showed significantly greater fluoride release from newly developed composite resins than control(HE) and addition of $SrF_2$ glass filler did not decrease mechanical properties or increase cytotoxicity of composite resin. The results from this study imply that newly developed composite resin have adequate mechanical properites, mild cytotoxicity and some potential for secondary caries prevention.

This study was conducted to effect the cell activity and cytotoxicity of dentifrice. For the study, 6 kinds of general dentifrice, 3 kind of whitening dentifrice, 2 kinds of natural dentifrice and SLS(sodium lauryl sulfate) of positive control group. Immortalized human gingiva fibroblast cell was used for the study, WST test for cell activity and Agar diffusion test for cytotoxicity. Agar diffusion test showed high cytotoxicity in general dentifrice test group and whitening dentifrice test group, but low cytotoxicity in natural dentifrice test group. As a result of cell nucleus staining, cell shape and nuclear activity showed that the highest activity in natural dentifrice group, followed by whitening dentifrice group and general dentifrice group. As a result of this study, the cytotoxicity of different ingredient and according to the use to dentifrice. As a result of this study, we confirm cytotoxicity of kind and components according to the purpose of using dentifrice. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate the detailed ingredients of dentifrice for the smart choice of consumers.

In this study, plant extracts including 25% Saururus chinensis, 20% Morus bombycis stem and 20% Morus papyrifera stem were tested to use as possible cosmetic agent. As cosmetic effect test, cell toxicity test, elastase inhibition assay, tyrosinase inhibition assay, anti-oxidation assay and temperature stability test were done as cosmetic assays. Plant extract showed low cell toxicity, excellent elastase inhibition and anti-oxidation effect, however, tyrosinase inhibition effect was lower. Skin, lotion and essence formulation was made using plant extracts and temperature stability test was done. Skin and essence indicated good stability, however, lotion showed phase separation and severe viscosity variation, which means lotion formulation change. From the research, plant extracts including Saururus chinensis, Morus bombycis stem and Morus papyrifera stem were suitable for possible cosmetic agent.

The aim of present study is to investigate antioxidative effect of the Rice Bran Extracts and Defatted Rice Bran Extracts. Rice Bran Extracts used Rice Bran Water Extract, Rice Bran Ethanol Extract, Defatted Rice Bran Water Extract, Defatted Rice Bran Ethanol Extract. This study was carried out to examine quenching effects of Rice bran extracts on DPPH-, Riboflavin-, and Xanthin oxidase- originated superoxide activities. In addition, in order to determine whether Rice Bran Extract can be safely applied to human skin, the cytotoxic effects of Rice Bran Extract in Human Dermal Fibroblast cells were determined using MTS Assay. These results demonstrated that RBE and DRBE had anti-oxidative properties and did not induce the cytotoxic effects in Human Dermal Fibroblast cells. Therefore, these findings suggest that anti-oxidative properties of RBE and DRBE may be considered convergence with skin care.

해바라기를 주원료로 한 복합조성물인 해바톤(HYE-BATON, (주) 새벽을여는사람들)의 면역활성 증진효과와 당뇨 및 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시험관 내에서 HYEBATON을 첨가하여 먼역세포를 배양한 결과 면역세포가 현저하게 활성화되었다. 생쥐에 HYEBATON을 투여한 결과 세포 매개성 면역반응이 증진되었으며, 암세포 이식 생쥐에서 종양의 생장을 억제시켜 생존기간을 연장시키는 경향을 보였다. 또한, HYEBATON이 혈당과 지질 대사에 미치는 영향을 흰쥐에서 살펴보았다. 쥐를 정상식이군, streptozotocin (STZ) 투여에 의한 당뇨군, 고지방식이군으로 나누어 HYEBATON을 7주간 투여하였다. 경구포도당 내성 검사에서 HYEBATON은 당뇨군의 증가된 공복시 혈당을 감소시켰으며, 경구로 포도당을 투여 시에도 당뇨군의 혈당을 계속 낮게 유지시켰다. HYE-BATON 이 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, HYE-BATON은 정상식이군, 당뇨군, 고지방 식이군의 혈중 및 간의 콜레스테롤과 지질의 양을 유의성 있게 감소시키거나 혹은 감소시키는 영향으 ?보였다. 한편, 시험관내 유전독성시험 및 생지의 급성독성시험에서 HYE-BATON은 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 HYEBATON은 면역활성 증진효과 뿐만아니라 당뇨 쥐의 혈당 및 지질대사 개선효과를 보였으므로, 면역증징 및 당뇨와 지질대사 개선을 위한 기능성 식품으로서 활용이 기대된다.

This study aims to provide basic data on useful functional ingredients in red ginseng by studying the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects of convergence of ginsenoside Rh2(Rh2) and compound K(CK) isolated from amplified red ginseng. Therefore we examined cytotoxicity in Hep3B, activity of IL-6 induced STAT3 luciferase and survival concentration of cells in B16F10 and HaCa T. According to the experimental results, when the Rh2 and CK mixture were 10 ug/ml, there was no cytotoxicity in Hep3B cells and the anti-inflammatory effect of IL-6 reduction ratio was 102%. In addition, Rh2 and CK mixture were observed to be toxic in melanoma cell line B16F10 and HaCa T (human keratinocyte) at 50 uM. FACS(fluorescence activated cell sorting) analysis showed that annexin V was not expressed and melanoma cells and keratinocyte were desorbed and killed. It can be assumed that the mechanism of killing through this phenomenon is due to the cell death of anoikis-type, and it is necessary to study the changes of cell adhesion proteins in the future in order to clarify the cell death signal system.

The pressing roller was designed and manufactured with high modulus carbon fiber composite material to exploit the high specific stiffness of the composite material. the optimal stacking sequence for the pressing roller was obtained from the FE analysis and the shape of the rubber coating layer was determined based on the calculated deflection for the uniform pressure on the film along the axial length of the pressing roller. Then the static deflection of the manufactured composite pressing roller was experimentally evaluated in comparison with analysis result and dynamic characteristics were measured through vibrational test.

Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid derivative found in many foods and beverages. Dietary caffeine may interact with commonly-consumed over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in body. In this study, cytotoxic effects on the intestinal cells by combined treatment of caffeine with several OTC drugs, including ibuprofen, aspirin, and acetaminophen. Cytotoxic effect of caffeine was more potent in normal intestinal INT 407 cells than in colon cancer HCT 116 cells. Relative toxicity of caffeine and the OTC drugs was significantly enhanced in INT 407 cells when treated together. Intracellular thiol levels of the cells treated with the OTC drugs increased in the presence of caffeine. When HCT 116 cells were incubated with each OTC drug after or before caffeine treatment, the relative cytotoxicity of the OTC drugs increased. The present study may provide basic information about possible health effects through the interactions between caffeine and OTC drugs in the intestinal cells.

Cytotoxicity was evaluated in A549 lung cancer cells and RAW264.7 macrophage cells with processed aconitum, ginseng, ginger and licorice extracts. The first experiment began to affect toxicity from 100 ㎍/ml concentrations in extracts mixed with processed aconitum and ginseng. Cytotoxicity began at 1000 ㎍/ml concentrations in the second experimental extract with additional ginger, both in the first and second groups affected greater cytotoxicity in lung cancer cells than in macrophage cells, and in the third experimental extract with additional ginger and licorice. In conclusion, when using aconitum, ginseng, ginger, and licorice work in combination, which resulted in less impact on macrophage cells toxicity and more cytotoxicity in certain lung cancer cells.
