In this study, we prepared polymer micelles containing quercetin and rutin, known as antioxidants, using poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol), and evaluated in vitro skin permeation of the active materials. Quercetin and rutin loaded micelles were characterized by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and DLS (dynamic light scattering) measurements. The particle size of the polymer micelles increased in a concentration dependent manner (0.5~2.0% PCL-b-PEG). The Zeta potential of quercetin and rutin loaded micelles remained constant. To evaluate the skin penetration of PCL-b-PEG micelles, Franz diffusion cell experiment was performed. The aqueous solutions of quercetin and rutin were used as the control groups. Quercetin and rutin loaded PCL-b-PEG micelles showed more efficient skin permeation than the control groups. Safety assessment (patch test) of quercetin and rutin loaded PCL-b-PEG micelles on skin was performed to test application possibility of the polymer micelles to cosmetics. Any adverse symptoms were not observed.

In this study, nano-emulsion containing ethyl acetate fraction of Polygonum aviculare (P. aviculare) extract was prepared and skin permeability of the nano-emulsion was evaluated. Nano-emulsion was prepared using homogenizer and microfluidizer by the high-energy method. The droplet size and loading efficiency of nano-emulsion containing ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare extract were determined. The mean droplet size was 238 nm and the loading efficiency was more than 98%. The size distribution of nano-emulsion was a monodispersed form and nano-emulsion was more stable than that of using typical emulsion without using the microfluidizer. The in vitro skin permeation study of nano-emulsion containing ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare extract was carried out using Franz diffusion cells. Compared to 1,3-butylene glycol, nano-emulsion showed greater values of cumulative permeation of ethyl acetate fraction from P. aviculare extract. These results indicate that the stability and skin permeability of nano-emulsion containing ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare exerting anti-oxidative and anti-aging activities were enhanced.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the skin whitening and UV absorption effects of bioconverted Beta vulagaris (BBE) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SM4, and the effects were evaluated by measuring total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), radical elimination activity (RSA), and tyrosinase activity inhibition (TAI). TPC and TFC of BBE were 25.0 mg GAE/g DM and 8.05 mg QE/g DM, which were 1.3 and 1.1 times higher than hot-water extract (HWE) respectively. RSA, an indicator of antioxidant activity, and TAI, an indicator of skin-whitening effect, were 36.8%, and 68.6%, respectively, 1.1 and 1.2 times higher than that of HWE. UVA and UVB absorption of BBE were 21.4 and 87.6%, which was 1.4 and 1.7 times higher than that of HWE respectively. When main substances of BBE were analyzed using LC-MS/MS, kaempferol and isorhamnetin, a type of polyphenols known to have high antioxidant and skin-whitening effects, were identified. As a results, BBE is expected to be used as a functional cosmetic material as it has excellent antioxidant, skin whitening, and UV absorption properties.

Due to the Co-60 source size, the penumbra in Co-60 teletheraphy poses a serious problem, even if the extended collimators are used, Here an empirical formula for the calculation of integral absorbed dose in the penumbra region was derived. Through a numerical calculation, the penumbra effect on integral absorbed dose was investigated. The longer the source-to-skin distance, the larger the integral absorbed dose of penumbra region, and the larger the source diameter, the larger the integral absorbed dose of penumbra region. It was also found that in some case the integral absorbed dose in penumbra region becomes several times larger than the integral absorbed dose of treatment region itself if the source-to-skin distance becomes greater. Therefore, one must consider the penumbra effect in Co-60 teletherapy.

In this study, Polygomun aviculare L. (P. aviculare L.) extract loaded elastic liposomes (ELPs) were investigated to enhance the transdermal delivery of P. aviculare L. extract composed of various flavonoids. ELPs were composed of egg phospholipids (PC) and edge activator ($Tego^{(R)}$ care 450) and the physical properties and in vitro permeation studies of ELPs were performed. Particle size ranged from 148.1 to 262.2 nm and deformability index was recorded as 11.5~25.4. Loading efficiency was from 53.1 to 66.3%. In vitro skin permeation studies using Franz diffusion cell demonstrated that ELP-4 having ratio of 85:15 for PC to $Tego^{(R)}$ care 450 exhibited the higher skin permeability than ELP-1, the general liposome without $Tego^{(R)}$ care 450. It was visually seen by fluorescence image restoration microscopy. The findings suggest that ELP-4 selected as the optimal formulation could be used as useful formulation for transdermal delivery of the extract.

본 논문에서는 초고주파를 이용하여 하지정맥류(Varicose vein)의 초기증상인 모세혈관 확장증(Telangiectasia)을 치료하는 데에 목적을 두었다. 유전율 차이에 따라 전자파(Electromagnetic waves)를 흡수하는 양이 다르다는 것을 전제하에 다리 모델링에 필요한 피부, 혈관, 혈액, 피하조직의 유전율을 구하였고, 혈관과 피부의 유전율에 비해 혈액의 유전율이 높다는 것을 통해 다른 조직에 비해 혈액의 전자파 흡수율이 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 피부의 구조와 유전율을 이용하여 모델링 한 후, 시뮬레이션을 통해 SAR(Specific Absorption rate)분포를 확인하였다.

장마가 기승을 부리던 지난 7월 어느날 상수역 근처 닭발 전문점을 찾았다. 예로부터 닭발은 퇴행성관절염에 이용되는 한약 처방과 같이 달여서 복용하는 경우가 많았다. 근래에는 미용 식품으로도 환영받고 있다. 닭발은 피부나 관절을 구성하는 콜라겐이나 콘드로이친 성분이 다량 함유되어 있으며 또 다수의 단백질 성분이 함유 되어 있어 소화흡수도 잘되고 영양학적으로 우수한 식품이다.

목적: Estroge 결핍으로 나타나는 폐경기의 주요 증상을 경감 치료하기 위해, estrogen경구 투여시 위장장애, 위장에서의 대사, 간 초회효과, 자주 투여로 인한 환자의 불편 등의 단점이 있나, 이러한 점을 개선하기 위한 투여경로의 하나로 피부를 통해 일정약물을 장기간 일정속도로 송달시키는 경피 흡수 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 (EE)의 장기제어방출을 위해 ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)를 사용하여 장기 제어방출 및 경피 흡수의 최적화 조건을 설정하여 경피흡수 시스템을 위한 막의 개방을 목적으로 한다. 방법: VA 함량이 18-40％까지의 EVA를 사용하여 EE를 함유한 matrix를 casting 방법으로 제조하고 변형된 Keshary-Chien cell을 이용하여 방출실험을 실행하였다. 이때 방출에 미치는 여러 가지 인자로서 EVA 주의 VA함량, 막의 두께, receptor 중 PEG 400의 용량비율, 방출 매개체의 온도, loading 된 약물의 량 등에 대해 검토하였다. 그리고 점개한 mouse skin에 대한 투과 실험을 행하고 이에 미치는 PEG 400과 자질층의 역할을 검토하였다. 결과: EE의 용해도는 saline so PEG 400의 용량 비율이 증가함에 따라 지수 함수적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 VA 함량이 증가될수록, PEG 400의 용량비율, 방출 매개체의 온도, loading 된 약물의 양이 증가될수록 PEG 400의 용량비율, 방출 매개체의 온도, loading 된 약물의 양이 증가될수록 EE의 방출속도와 부과속도는 증가하였다. 또한 투과속도는 막두께의 역수와 직선상의 상관 관계를 보였다. 그리고 EVA matrix로부터 EE가 방출되는 양상은 diffusion-controlled model을 따랐으며 이때 단위면적당 방출된 총량은 T에 비례되었다. 절개한 mouse skin을 통한 EE의 permeation은 PEG 400의 첨가에 의해 상승되었다. 이와 같이 EVA 막이 EE의 부과 및 방출을 조절하는 것으로 보아 경피 흡수를 위해 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Cosmeceuticals products we not the products simply for moisturizing and protecting skin but the ones for encouraging to make improvements on wrinkles and helping to whiten, tan, and protect skin against ultraviolet light. In a broader sense, they refer to products with aiming to maintain healthy condition of skin such that skin troubles could be improved or aging of skin could be delayed. However, cosmeceuticals should not have any side effects because they are applied to the whole body for a long period of time differing from medical products which are used on specific areas for a short time. The number of such cosmeceuticals has increased from 500 in 2001 to 2300 in 2003. In order to develop and broaden the scope of cosmeceuticals, the concept of cosmetics needs to be changed from caring skin to delaying aging of the skin and reviving cells. For this purpose, high-valued materials should be developed through basic researches related to the biological function of skin, in vivo experiment and reaction of skin in response to various stimuli using biotechnologies and bioengineering methods. At the same time, it should be proceeded to develop new nano materials for overcoming skin barriers and transfer matericals for helping to absorb effective substances and maintaining stability.

에탄올아민 (ETA; Ethanolamine)은 에틸렌옥시드를 진한 암모니아수와 함께 가열하여 얻어지는 물질로 흡수성이 있는 무색의 액체 또는 고체이며 탄소, 질소, 산소로 이루어진 매우 안정된 유기화합물이다. 이러한 ETA는 부식방지제, 산성가스 흡수제, 화장품 등 각종 산업에서 매우 유용하게 사용되는 물질이다. 하지만 ETA는 눈, 피부, 호흡기, 폐 등에 접촉하여 호흡기 질환 및 만성 천식을 유발하고 피부에 자극을 일으키므로 ETA를 제거하기 위한 물리화학적 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 냉각온도 및 진공펌프압력에 따른 ETA 응축 특성과, 흡착제에 따른 ETA 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 조사결과 ETA는 냉각수의 온도 및 진공펌프압력에 영향을 받았으며 냉각수 온도 및 진공펌프압력이 증가할수록 응축율은 감소하였다. ETA 흡착에서 활성탄의 경우 액상의 ETA와 상호간에 흡착력은 존재하지 않았으며, 기상의 ETA는 흡착되지만, $100^{\circ}C$이상에서 탈착 반응이 일어났다. 제올라이트의 경우 액상 및 기상의 ETA를 모두 흡착하였다.
