젤형 인공피부의 약한 물성을 보완하기 위해 스폰지형 인공피부가 개발되었으나 다공성 표면구조 때문에 세포의 배양이 어려운 문제점이 남아 있었다. 이 다공성 구조를 섬유모세포의 장기 배양으로 ECM으로 채우기 위해서는 3주이상의 긴 시간이 필요하며 그 위에 상피층 배양하기 위해서는 2주 이상의 시간이 추가로 소요되기 때문에 환자에게 이식할 적절한 시기를 놓칠수가 있다. 따라서 본 연구결과로 단기일 내에 전층 인공피부를 배양함으로서 적절한 이식시기를 맞출수가 있으며 이러한 기저막이 부착된 스폰지구조는 물성도 향상되어 이식시 조작이 쉽고 볼합이 가능한 장점이 있다.

최근 오존층의 파괴로 인한 지구 자외선량의 증가로 피부암 및 광노화의 발생가능성이 증가되고있다. 광노화의 주요한 현상중의 하나는 탄력섬유상 물질이 축적되는 일광탄력 섬유증이다. 자외선은 탄력소 유전자의 전사과정증가를 유도하며 결국 비정상적인 탄력소의 증가를 유발한다는 보고가 있다. 본 연구에서는 피부 섬유아세포 및 각질형성세포를 배양하여 자외선이 탄력소 유전자발현에 미치는 영향 및 전사조절인자에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 피부섬유아세포에 UVB를 30mJ-200J/m 조사하여 nothern blotting한 결과 UV양이 증가함에 따라 탄력소 전사물이 증가되었고, 1001/$m^2$ 에서 최대의 증가를 보였다. 탄력소 promoter와 CAT을 접합시킨 pEP62 vector을 섬유아세포에 형질전환 시키고 UV에 의한 Promoter 활성을 본 결과 UV조사량이 증가할수록 활성이 증가되었고 200J/$m^2$ 에서 대조군에 비해 5배의 활성 증가를 보였다. 이 system에 광노화 억제물질로 알려진 retinoid를 5 $\times$ $10^{-6}$M처리하였을 때 UV에 의한 탄력소 promoter활성을 약 1/3로 감소시켰다. 각질 형성세포에서 UVB에 의한 transcription factor의 활성을 mobility shift assay에 의해 조사한 결과 AP-1 및 NFkB가 활성화됨을 볼 수 있었다.

This thesis is an psychological study investigating the meanings of skin from the perspective of analytical psychology. Skin, as the outermost layer of our body, protects the body and carries out essential physiologic functions. It is an organ of the body and also psychological contents can be expressed on it in various forms. We can find sociocultural connotations of skin, some of which are demonstrated in our language. Skin may become a carrier of persona which defines a person's role in the society. And it can be a place where ego is expressed. Eros is the principle of relationship by Jung's definition and skin is the space where eros is realized intensely. Skin may carry meanings as a symbol of transformation. Skin disease can be interpreted as a message from Self in certain cases. The theme of casting off skin in myths and dreams can be an analogy of an individual's sacrifice for individuation, and putting on a skin may imply taking special properties in psychological level.

The aims of the present study were to characterize the effect of glucocorticosteroids (GCs) on the normal canine skin and to evaluate the effect of a lipid mixture (LM), containing cholesterol, pseudoceramide, and free fatty acid, on the steroid-induced damaged skin of dogs. Five beagles were involved and the skin of the back of each dog was topically applied with four kinds of GCs twice daily for 28 days. LM was applied after that period of GCs application. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, and skin pH were assessed during experimental periods and histopathological evaluation was performed. TEWL was significantly increased, with a maximum increase obtained on day 28 (p < 0.01). Skin pH was significantly decreased, with a maximum decrease obtained on day 28 (p < 0.01). Skin surface hydration was significantly increased on day 3, but values of skin hydration were progressively decreased and finally reached those of baseline. In histology, as results of steroid application, losses of keratin layers in the stratum corneum and edematous changes in the upper parts of dermis, and consequently, thickness of the epidermis and the stratum corneum were decreased. In addition, the numbers of hair follicles were markedly decreased in steroid control as compared to intact control. However, these skin atrophic changes were markedly inhibited by treatment of LM as compared with steroid control in the present study. Moreover, all biophysical parameters were reached to the baseline after LM treatment. These results showed that the topically applied GCs induced skin barrier impairment and a LM should be effective on repair of disturbed skin barrier function in dogs. Therefore, it is concluded that a LM tested in the present study is expected to treat the steroid-induced skin damages.

There are two paradigms to explain the atopic dermatitis. The first is outside-inside paradigm and the second is inside-outside paradigm. According to the outside-inside paradigm the best way to treat the atopic dermatitis is recovery of skin barrier function. The barrier function is maintained by the specific structure of stratum corneum, which is constructed from corneocytes and intercellular lipids. In terms of lipid structures of SC in atopic dermatitis and lamellar ichthyosis, they contain more fluid hexagonal gel structures in SC and show deficiencies in free fatty acids, especially long chains and certain ceramides. With this reason, moisturizer which has the lamellar structure and restoring function of intrinsic intercellualr long periodicity phase can maintain and restore the lamellar structure of intercellular lipids in SC. The moisturizers containing ceramide or pseudoceramide also seem to be reasonable therapy for atopic dermatitis and several skin diseases, which interrelated with impaired skin harrier. By the way, according to the inside-outside paradigm, immune response including helper T cells, IgE, eosinophils is related. It is effective treatment of atopic dermititis to restore imbalance between Th1 and Th2 cells. Even though several kinds of immune-suppressor were introduced, these can affect the intrinsic immune function. SPC and S1P, metabolites of ceramide, would be interesting because they have the function of wound healing and immune modulating properties.
