The skin is one of the largest organs in our body and participates in many of the human organism's physiological and pathological events. Skin function were known for self-maintenance and self-repair, mechanical and chemical stress protection, protection against UV and environmental pathogenic micro-organisms, production of vitamin D, and social and psychological function through the physical aspect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variation of biophysical parameters and to find relation with skin biomarkers in different anatomical site and age in Korean women. About 70 healthy volunteers in age range 20 to 49 were participated in this test. Test areas were the forearms and the cheek. Investigation to determine biophysical parameters on human skin, was carried out using various non-invasive methods. For analysis to skin biomarkers, we studied to examine various biomarkers for the quantitative determination of cortisol, fibronectin, keratin-1, 10, and 11, involucrin, and keratin-6 in human face and forearm. And we measured to skin biophysical parameters for skin anatomical site and age difference with non-invasive methods. As results of measuring site, some parameters were have following significant difference, stratum corneum hydration, trans epidermal water loss and skin color (L and a value). As results of age difference, skin colors were had only significant difference with age. For cortisol, keratin-6, fibronectin, keratin-1, 10, 11 contents, there were no significant difference in age and site. However, involucrin level in the cheeks were the highest for age group 30 ~ 39 compared to other age groups. These results suggest that in individual skin condition may explain detailed skin state variation.

Using Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, polar low molecular weight keratin peptides were produced and confirmed through factors related to the skin elasticity. As a result of confirming the cytotoxicity and collagen synthesis ability according to the concentration of the polar low molecular weight keratin peptide in human fibroblasts, it was confirmed that the cytotoxicity did not appear and the collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts was increased. A mask pack containing a polar low-molecular weight keratin peptide was used, and a test product was used for 4 weeks in 22 healthy women subjects. As a result, it showed statistically significant effects on skin elasticity, skin torsion elasticity, skin color and moisture improvement. Through this test, it was confirmed that the polar low-molecular keratin peptide can be used as a cosmetic ingredient that helps improve skin elasticity.

We investigate the transient temperature response in biological tissue whose surface is exposed to alternately varying sinusoidal oscillation. Based on the Pennes bio-heat equation, we apply numerical analysis using a finite element method to find the effects of the physical properties of the skin layers. Three layers of tissue-epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous-are considered as the solution region. We investigate the effects of different properties of the skin layers on the temperature profile. We also investigate the effects of the perfusion rate for the dermis, which is the most sensitive layer. The results show that the temperature profile of tissue depth has a discontinuous point when different physical properties are used.

Many cellular phone volunteer studies have been conducted since such a social issue is raised that the long time usage of cellular phone by teenagers may increase health risk. While there were various adult volunteer studies using GSM cellular phone on heart rate and blood pressure, very few teenager studies using CDMA phone were conducted. In this study, two volunteer groups of 21 teenagers and 21 adults were exposed to 300 mW CDMA wave for half an hour, and the physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and skin impedance were investigated. All the parameters fur both groups were unaffected during exposure except the skin impedance of teenager group.

In this study, basic skin characteristic data was measured by measuring skin hydration, skin sebum secretion rate, skin melanin index, skin redness index, skin redness image analysis, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and amount of stratum corneum before and after creating a temporary high temperature and low humidity environments targeting Korean women in their 20s to 50s. Stratum corneum by tape stripping was collected at each measurement and skin biomarkers including total protein content, carbonylated protein, neutral lipid, and lipid peroxidation were analyzed. Based on the results, the differences before and after creating a high temperature and low humidity environments were confirmed, the correlation between skin characteristics and skin biomarkers was confirmed, and a new skin index was created based on this. The new skin index can be used in product efficacy evaluation, and the possibility of constructing a new clinical study method and using skin biomarker discovery research through additional research was confirmed.

도플러 효과를 이용해 피부의 혈류 속도 분포를 측정하였다. 고속 CMOS 이미지 센서를 사용하여 $256{\times}256$ 픽셀의 크기를 갖는 혈류 속도 영상을 측정하였다. 많은 의학 치료 분야에서 혈류 흐름에 대한 영상, 특히 모세혈관에서의 혈류 흐름에 대한 영상을 필요로 한다. 레이저 도플러 기술은 물체의 속도를 물체에 접촉하지 않고 측정할 수 있는 대표적인 기술로, 레이저 광의 코헤런트한 특성과 비접촉성 특성은 인체 피부의 혈류 속도를 측정하는데 좋은 특성을 제공한다.

피부란 인체를 외부의 자극으로부터 보호하며 수분의 손실을 막아주는 기능을 수행하는 중요한 장기 중의 하나이다. 피부가 화상이나 각종 외상에 의하여 결손이 일어나게 되면 그 보호작용이 상실되어 기능의 장애를 일으키게 된다. 또한 수분손실에 따른 여러 가지 부작용과 외부로부터의 세균감염 등을 일으켜 환부의 치료를 어렵게 하거나 2차적인 기능장애 또는 손상 등과 같은 추가적인 부작용을 초래하게 된다. (중략)
