Silicon quantum dots base on photoluminescent porous silicon were prepared from an electrochemical etching of n-type silicon wafer (boron-dopped<100> orientation, resistivity of 1~10 ${\Omega}-cm$) and used as a alcohol sensor. Silicon quantum dots displayed an emission band at the wavelength of 675 nm with an excitation wavelength of 480 nm. Photoluminescence of silicon quantum dots was quenched in the presence of alcohol vapors such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. Quenching efficiencies of 21.5, 32.5, and 45.8% were obtained for isopropanol, ethanol, and methanol, respectively. A linear relationship was obtained between quenching efficiencies and vapor pressure of analytes used. Quenching photoluminescence was recovered upon introducing of fresh air after the detection of alcohol. This provides easy fabrication of alcohol sensor based on porous silicon.

In modern society, the amount of alcohol ingestion is increasing at a dangerous level, especially among women. One of reason for increased alcohol consumption is stress caused by social pressures. Alcohol is a kind of depressant of centric nervous system, so it can induce relaxation of body and decrease the stress. The evidence on the effects of alcohol on the fetus is somewhat hazy, whereas that of smoking is quite clear. The literature on the ingestion of alcohol strongly suggests that drinking during pregnancy is associated with teratogenic effect and low birth weight. Therefore, the adverse effect of alcohol ingestion during pregnancy must be informed to public. More remarkable warning sign about alcohol ingestion must be attached on the top of bottles. This can be an effective measure for public education. Also legal sanction or tax imposition for the production of liquor be required. First of all, drinking habit or drinking culture must be changed. In fact, the strongest motivation of drinking in adolescent is a peer pressure which is related to drinking habit or culture. Secondly, early detection and treatment must be required to prevent from fetal alcohol syndrome. Accordingly, drinking history of pregnant women must be assessed as early as possible and health professional should give a warning about the abstinence of alcohol to drinking women. Thirdly, to minimize the adverse effects for mother, withdrawal syndrome by alcohol ingestion must be treated. to correct the malformation by fetal alcohol syndrome(FAS) can be corrected. Sometimes surgical intervention may be required for this purpose.

The present study was investigated on in vitro anti-obesity effect of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol from Cudrania tricuspidata. We isolated various compounds from Cudrania tricuspidata. Among these compounds, anti-obesity effects of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol was examined by lipase activity assay, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4) activity assay, and citrate synthase activity assay. 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata extracts inhibited the enzymatic activities of lipase, PDE4, and citrate synthase. Lipase is known to mediate the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol in adipose tissue and cholesterol esters in other tissue or cells. Also, PDE4 hydrolyses cAMP, a crucial secondary messenger for in metabolic pathways including glucose and lipid metabolism, lipolysis, and thermogenic function. 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata extracts induced the inhibitory effect against each enzymatic activity on several specific substrates as observed by detection at 405 or 412 nm. These findings might be attributable to the inhibition of adipogenesis, and partial prevention of obesity. In conclusion, these results show that 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata may be a critical candidate as a natural anti-obesity source.

일반적인 음료처럼 주변에 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 알코올(술)은 남용 및 중독 섭취로 인하여 사망에 이를 수 있을 만큼 유해한 물질이므로 적정량의 음주량을 유지하고 올바른 음주습관을 가지는 것이 중요하다. 뿐만 아니라 적정량 이상의 알코올을 장기간 섭취함으로써 야기될 수 있는 행동장애 및 판단장애로 인해 일어나는 사건 또한 상당하므로, 각종 사건, 사고에서 관련자가 음주 상태였는지, 그리고 관련자의 알코올 중독 여부를 확인하는 것이 법과학적으로 매우 중요하다. 현재 우리나라에서는 혈액이나 뇨에서 알코올 농도 혹은 알코올 대사체인 ethyl glucuronide (EtG)를 검출하는 것으로 알코올 섭취 여부를 판단하고 있다. 하지만 혈액이나 뇨에서 알코올이나 EtG를 검출하는 것은 검출 가능 시간이 짧기 때문에 비교적 최근 음주에 대한 정보만을 알 수 있다는 한계가 있다. 그러므로 오랫동안 알코올 대사체가 존재할 수 있는 모발에서 EtG를 검출하여, 장기간의 음주 여부와 주취 정도를 분석하고 알코올 중독 여부를 진단하고자 하였다. 이번 연구에서는 지속적인 음주를 하는 한국인의 모발 시료를 대상으로, 일관성 있으면서 효율적으로 모발에서 EtG를 추출 및 전처리 하는 방법을 정립하고 이를 LC-MS/MS를 이용하여 정성 정량하는 분석법을 확립하였으며, 평소 음주를 하는 사회 음주자의 실제 모발과 만성 알코올 중독이 의심되는 변사자의 모발을 대상으로 EtG를 분석해 보았다. 이 연구 결과는 한국인의 알코올 중독 진단 및 치료 과정에서 금주를 모니터링 하는 데 유용할 뿐만 아니라, 양육권 관련 법적 절차나 운전면허 재발급 및 갱신 등을 위한 절차에 근거로 응용할 수도 있을 것이다. 또한 변사자들의 알코올 남용에 대한 확실한 객관적 지표를 제공함으로써 보다 명확한 사인을 규명하는데 법과학적 응용 가능성이 기대된다.

Objectives : Biochemical markers can provide an objective evidence of heavy alcohol drinking. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the usefulness of biological markers detecting alcohol dependence, such as mean corpuscular volume(MCV), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin(CDT) in the patients of an alcohol counseling center. Methods : This study was done with 64 patients with alcohol dependence and 36 healthy subjects. Relative values(%) of CDT were determined in their sera with turbidimetric immunoassay(Bio-Rad %CDT assay, Axis-Shield ASA, Oslo, Norway), and were compared with conventional markers of alcohol consumption, GGT and MCV. Results : Among the patients with alcohol dependence, 78.1% showed abnormal %CDT levels compared with GGT(61.9%) and MCV(20.7%). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves(95% confidence interval) for %CDT, GGT, and MCV were 0.934(0.866-0.973), 0.871(0.789-0.930), and 0.575 (0.472-0.673), respectively. Conclusion : %CDT seems to be the most reliable biological marker for the detection and monitoring of alcohol consumption in the patients with alcohol dependence of the alcohol counseling center.
