유화란 서로 섞이지 않는 액체들간의 분산계이다. 화장품에 사용되는 원료에는 서로 잘 섞이지 않는 물질들이 많기 때문에 이들을 한 제제 내에 잘 혼합할 수 있는 유화기술이 매우 유용하게 이용되고 있다. 유화제제의 안정화 및 물성 변화를 위하여 유화제의 발달과 함께 여러 가지 다양한 형태의 유화기술이 개발되었다. 1950년대에 Griffin이 제안한 HLB법을 시작으로 PIT법, 겔(gel) 유화법, D상 유화법 등이 있으며, 최근에는 피부 친화성 또는 인체에 대한 안전성을 높이기 위한 수단으로 천연 유래의 유화제 및 고분자계 유화제의 사용이 늘고 있다. 이 외에도 제품의 외관 차별화 및 유효성분의 전달 효율을 높이기 위한 수단으로 나노 유화, 다중 유화, 액정 유화, 피커링 유화 등이 개발 적용되고 있으며, 리포좀이나 큐보좀 같은 나노 구조체 입자들의 응용에 관한 연구도 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 리포좀은 생체막의 주요 구성성분인 양친매성 인지질의 이중층으로 구성된 계이고, 큐보좀 역시 생체 유래 성분인 모노올레인 같은 물질로 만들어지는 나노 입자의 일종으로 그 분자 구조적 특성으로 인해 수용액 내에서 입방상 구조의 이연속적 수상 채널을 갖는다. 이러한 나노 입자에 효능물질을 봉입시켜 제제화 함으로서 생체 친화적이면서 물질의 전달 효율을 높일 수 있다. 여기서는 화장품용 유화물 및 나노 입자들의 제조 방법, 응용 등에 대하여 간략히 소개하였다.

Considerable attention has been focused on the cryopreservation of semen and estrus induction in dog, as consequence of poor productivity caused by long anestrus period, in order to enhance the productivity of youngs and to preserve the breeds. The objectives of this study were to evaluate semen quality after cryopreservation and to evaluate the Pregnancy rate after insemination (AI). Fifty infertilie dogs (age 2∼3 years) were selected for the study and divided into three different estrus induction treatment groups. Group 1: dogs (n=15) were given clomifene (0.1 mg/kg) orally for five days at 12 hr intervals. Group 2: dogs (n=15) were given bromocriptine (50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg) orally for five days at 12 hr intervals, followed by single injection intravenously of 500 IU GnRH (Group 3, n=20) when pro-estrus occurred. The rates of pregnancy in estrus inducted dogs mated naturally compared to those inseminated artificially with ejaculated fresh semen and frozen-thawed semen. Estrus detection was performed using the method of vaginal smear and confirmed by the plasma progesterone assay. The ejaculated semen to freeze was exposed to a mixture of Tris extender with cryoprotectant (Trisma, 81 mM: TES, 209 mM: citric acid, 6 mM; glucose, 5 mM; glycerol, 8%) and cryopreserved gradually by slow-cooling at 17 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen (LN$_2$) for 23 min. The motility of frozen-thawed spermatozoa was assessed by phase-contrast microscopy. To assess their viability and acrosome content, spermatozoa were stained with a vital stain and Fluorescence conjugated lectin Pisum Savitum Agglutinin (FITC/PAS), respectively. Pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasonograpy on day 25, 35 and 55 post insemination. The use of fresh semen, the pregnancy rates were observed 66.6, 66.6, 75.0 and 83.3% in natural estrus, clomifene induced, bromocriptine induced and a combination of GnRH and bromocriptine, respectively. The use of frozen-thawed semen, the pregnancy rates were observed 66.6, 33.3, 50.0 and 60.0% in natural estrus, clomifene induced, bromocriptine induced and a combination of GnRH and bromocriptine, respectively. No difference was observed in the number of offspring produced among natural estrus and treated groups inseminated with fresh or frozen-thawed semen. In conclusion, the pregnancy rate of dogs treated with a combination of GnRH and bromocriptine was more effective than use of clomifene or bromocriptine only. In addition, frozen-thawed semen can be used successfully far artificial insemination in dog.

본 연구에서는 HPLC와 DRC ICP-MS를 연결하여 수중의 Cr(III)와 Cr(VI) 측정을 위한 최적의 분석조건을 설정하고, 서울시 6개 취수장 원수에서의 Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 크롬 종(species) 분리를 위한 HPLC 이동상으로는 tetrabutylammonium phosphate monobasic(1.0 mM TBAP), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(0.6 mM EDTA) 그리고 2% v/v 메탄올을 사용하였으며, flushing solvent로는 5% v/v 메탄올을 사용하였다. 또한 크롬 종 분리 시 방해물질인 $ArC^+$의 제거를 위한 반응가스로 암모니아($NH_3$) 가스를 사용하였으며, Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)의 최적의 분리를 위해 이동상의 solvent ratio, pH 유속 및 시료 주입량의 변화에 따른 시험을 실시하였다. 외국의 경우 Cr(III)가 Cr(VI)보다 분석 감도가 우수한 것으로 보고되고 있으나 본 연구 결과 반응가스($NH_3$)를 사용할 경우, Cr(III)에 비해 Cr(VI)의 분석 감도가 더 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 검출한계는 Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)에 대해 각각 $0.061\;{\mu}g/L$, $0.052\;{\mu}g/L$로 분석시간은 3분 이내로 나타났다. 서울시 6개 취수장 원수에서의 Cr(III)는 $0.048{\sim}0.064\;{\mu}g/L$(평균 $0.054\;{\mu}g/L$), Cr(VI)는 $0.014{\sim}0.023\;{\mu}g/L$(평균 $0.019\;{\mu}g/L$)의 농도 범위로 검출되었다. 회수율은 $90.1{\sim}94.1%$ 범위로 우수하게 나타났으며, Cr(III)가 Cr(VI)에 비해 $2{\sim}3$배 정도 높은 농도로 나타났다.

Four ruminally fistulated Hanwoo steers were used to determine the effects of level and degradability of dietary protein on ruminal fermentation, blood metabolites and concentration of soluble non-ammonia nitrogen (SNAN) in ruminal (RD) and omasal digesta (OD). Experiments were conducted in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design with a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments. Factors were protein supplements with two ruminal crude protein (CP) degradabilities, corn gluten meal (CGM) that was low in degradability (rumen-degraded protein (RDP), 23.4% CP) or soybean meal (SBM) that was high in degradability (RDP, 62.1% CP), and two feeding levels of CP (12.2 or 15.9% dry matter). Ruminal fermentation rates and plasma metabolite concentrations were determined from the RD collected at 2-h intervals and from the blood taken by jugular puncture, respectively. The SNAN fractions (free amino acid, peptide and soluble protein) in RD and OD collected at 2-h intervals were assessed by ninhydrin assay. Mean ruminal ammonia concentrations were 40.5, 74.8, 103.4 and 127.0 mg/L for low CGM, high CGM, low SBM and high SBM, respectively, with statistically significant differences (p<0.01 for CP level and p<0.001 for CP degradability). Blood urea nitrogen concentrations were increased by high CP level (p<0.001) but unaffected by CP degradability. There was a significant (p<0.05) interaction between level and degradability of CP on blood albumin concentrations. Albumin was decreased to a greater extent by increasing degradability of low CP diets (0.26 g/dl) compared with high CP diets (0.02 g/dl). Concentrations of each SNAN fraction in RD (p<0.01) and OD (p<0.05) for high CP diets were higher than those for low CP diets, except for peptides but concentrations of the sum of peptide and free amino acid in RD and OD were significantly higher (p<0.05) for high CP diets than for low CP diets. Soybean meal diets increased free amino acid and peptide concentrations in both RD (p<0.01) and OD (p<0.05) compared to CGM diets. High level and greater degradability of CP increased (p<0.001) mean concentrations of total SNAN in RD and OD. These results suggest that RDP contents, increased by higher level and degradability of dietary protein, may increase release of free amino acids, peptides and soluble proteins in the rumen and omasum from ruminal degradation and solubilization of dietary proteins. Because SNAN in OD indicates the terminal product of ruminal metabolism, increasing CP level and degradability appears to increase the amount of intestine-available nitrogen in the liquid phase.
