위생용 탑시트로 쓰이는 폴리프로필렌 부직포에 천연고분자이며, 인체친화력이 우수한 가공제인 키토산을 사용하여, 키토산의 분자량과 처리농도를 변화시켜 처리하므로써 기능성 개질화된 부직포의 표면구조와 역학적 성질 및 태의 변화를 살펴보았다. 저분자량의 키토산 처리포가 더 균일하게 코팅되었으며, 분자량과 처리농도가 클수록 부착률이 증가하였다. 키토산 처리포는 굽힘특성과 전단특성이 증가하여 다소 강경해지고, 형태안정성은 고분자량의 키토산 처리 시 더 향상되었다. 표면 촉감은 매끄러워졌으며, 부피감이 다소 향상되었다. 굽힘특성의 증가에 비해 Koshi의 증가가 크지 않으므로 지나치게 뻣뻣해지지는 않았고, 키토산 처리농도가 증가할수록 저분자량의 키토산 처리포가 더 매끄러워졌으며, 벌키성이 부여되었다. 키토산 처리에 의한 위생용 부직포의 태 변화는 미처리포에 비해 전반적으로 THV가 향상되었으며, 키토산 처리농도가 0.5$\%$일 경우 고분자량의 키토산 처리포의 THV가 더 좋았으나, 처리농도가 1.0$\%$일 경우는 저분자량의 키토산 처리포의 THV가 더 우수하였다.

보존제의 종류와 chitosan의 첨가방법이 김치의 보존성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 chitnsan, acetic acid, Na-benzoate를 단독 또는 병용하거나, chitosan을 acetic acid에 용해시켜 배추김치 첨가하여 10^{\circ}C$에서 12일간 발효시키면서 김치의 특성변화를 알아보았다. 발효가 진행되면서 보존제 첨가군들은 대조군보다 pH는 높고 적정산도는 낮게 나타났으며 환원당 함량의 감소가 대조군보다 느리게 일어났다. 보존제 첨가군들은 발효가 지속되면서 증가하는 lactic acid와 acetic acid의 함량이 대조군에 비해 매우 낮았으며 보존제 병용군 중 특히 chitosan을 산에 용해시킨 CH-B와 chitosan과 Na-benzoate를 병용한 CHS에서 낮게 나타났다. 총균수, Leuconostoc속 미생물 수, L. plantarum의 수는 CH-B, CHS, CH-C, AA, SB, CH-A순으로 적었다. 따라서 보존제가 병용되고, 병용된 보존제가 산일 경우에는 chitosan이 산에 용해되어 더 큰 항균력이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 보존제 첨가군들은 발효후기까지 바람직한 김치의 관능적 특성을 유지했는데 보존제가 병용된 군들이 더 효과적이었으며 CHS가 CH-B와 CH-C보다 낮은 신맛과 군덕내를 나타냈다. 앞으로 김치 본래의 특성을 효과적으로 유지 할 수 있도록 발효에 관여하는 젖산균의 생육을 적절히 조절하는 보존제의 종류, 혼합사용 및 첨가수준 효과에 대한 연구가 계속되어야 할 것으로 본다.

Noble thermosensitive nanoparticles, based on a PNIPAAm-co-AA core and a chitosan shell structure, were designed and synthesized for the controlled release of the loaded drug. PNIPAAm nanoparticles containing a carboxylic group on their surface were synthesized using emulsion polymerization. The carboxylic groups were conjugated with the amino group of a low molecular weight, water soluble chitosan. The particle size of the synthesized nanoparticles was decreased from 380 to 25 nm as the temperature of the dispersed medium was increased. Chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles with $2{\sim}5$ wt% MBA, a crosslinking monomer, induced a stable aqueous dispersion at a concentration of 1mg/1mL. The chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles showed thermo sensitive behaviors such as LCST and size shrinkage that were affected by the PNIPAAm core and induced some particle aggregation around LCST, which was not shown in the NIPAAm-co-AA nanoparticles. These chitosan-conjugated nanoparticles are also expected to be more biocompatible than the PNIPAAm core itself through the chitosan shell structures.

본 연구에서는 소목(Caesalpinia sappan L.) 분말을 활용한 모발 염색의 최적 조건을 결정하였고, 키토산 처리가 소목 분말의 모발 염색성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 소목 분말의 혼합비율, 염색시간 및 온도에 따른 염색성을 확인한 결과 소목 분말과 물의 비율을 1:3(w/w)로 하여 40℃에서 60분 동안 처리하는 것이 모발 염색에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 키토산의 분자량, 처리 농도와 처리 순서가 소목 분말의 염색성에 미치는 영향을 확인한 결과 저분자량(~30 kDa)의 키토산을 1%(w/w)의 농도로 소목 분말 처리에 앞서 전처리를 하는 것이 염색성 향상 및 유지에 가장 효과적이었다. 결론적으로 모발 염색에 있어서 저분자량의 키토산은 매염제로서 소목 분말의 염색 효율과 유지력 향상에 크게 도움이 되는 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop novel nanoparticles based on polyion complex formation between low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan (LMWSC) and all-trans retinoic acid (atRA). LMWSC nanoparticles encapsulating atRA based on polyion complex were prepared by mixing of atRA into LMWSC aqueous solution using ultrasonication. In FTIR spectra, the carbonyl group of atRA at 1690 $cm^{-1}$ disappeared or decreased when ion complexes were formed between LMWSC and atRA. In ${1}^H$ NMR spectra, specific peaks of atRA disappeared when atRA-encapsulated LMWSC (RAC) nanoparticles were reconstituted into $D_{2}O$ while specific peaks both of atRA and LMWSC appeared in $D_{2}O$/DMSO (1/3, v/v) mixture. XRD patterns also showed that the crystal peaks of atRA were disappeared by encapsulation into LMWSC nanoparticles. LMWSC nanoparticles encapsulating atRA have spherical shapes with particle size below 200 nm. The mechanism of encapsulation of atRA into LMWSC nanoparticles was thought to be an ion complex formation between LMWSC and atRA. LMWSC nanoparticles showed high atRA loading efficiency over 90$\%$ (w/w). AtRA was continuously released from nanoparticles over 10 days. In in vitro cell cytotoxicity test, free atRA showed higher cytotoxic effect against CT 26 colon carcinoma cell line on 1 day. However, RAC nanoparticles showed similar cytotoxicity against CT 26 cells on 2 day. These results suggest the potential for the introduction of LMWSC nanoparticles into various biomedical fields such as drug delivery.

Lactic acid와 키토산을 Cu(II) 이온과 반응시켜 합성한 착물을 사용하여 유기인 유사 독성물질인 DFP (Diisopropyl fluorophosphate) 분해반응에 적용하였다. Cu(II)-lactic acid 착물의 경우 homogeneous 상태에서 분해반응 반감기가 37. 1 min으로 분해성능이 우수하였다. 1 kDa 저분자량 수용성 키토산으로 합성한 Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan 착물은 결정화 후에는 용해도가 낮아 heterogeneous 한 상태에서 분해반응이 진행되었으며 그 반감기는 32.9 h이었다. 이 결과는 기존에 연구된 18 kDa 키토산 Cu(II)착물의 분해반응속도보다 약 16배 정도 증가된 것이다. Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan 착물을 결정화하지 않고 homogeneous한 상태로 진행한 분해반응에서는 반감기가 8.75 h로 용해도에 따라 약 4배의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

Biodegradable films were prepared by solution blend method in the weight ratio of chitosan for the purpose of useful biomaterials. The possibility of biomaterials prepared from natural polymer as a skin substitute was evaluated by measuring biocompatibility. These films were inserts in the back of rat and their biodegradability was investigated by the film weight and hematology as a function of time for the biotransformation. The result of rat test showed that medium, high viscosity chitosan induced some suspects of inbiocompatibility in the tissue by goreign body reaction 48 and 72 hours after implantation. Also, we prepared the official burn ointment which is made by low viscosity chitosan. This burn ointment was covered on the skin wound of artificial burn and their effect of healing was investigated by the evaluation of the naked eye and hematological change as a function of time. The result of rats test showed that burn ointments made from chitosan was effective reductio of inflammation than negative group.

Chitosan is applied as a dressing for oral mucous wound and a tampon following radical treatment of maxillary sinus. Furthermore, it is being investigated as an absorbing membrane for endodontic and periodontic surgeries. A few studies have reported osteoconduction and osteogenesia at the site of chitosan implant in vivo. However, compared with soft tissue healing processes, the mechanisms concerning effects of chitosan for biological mineralization have not yet been resoil In the present study, we studied the gene expression pattern using cDNA microarray and RT-PCR analyses in hard tissue forming osteoblasts cultured with water-soluble and low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide. cDNA microarray analysis revealed that 16 genes were expressed at 〉1.5-fold higher signal ratio levels in the experimental group compared with the control group after 3 days. RT-PCR analysis showed that chitosan oligomer induced an increase in the expression of two genes, CD56 antigen and tissue-type plasminogen activator. Furthermore, the expression of mRNAs for BMP-2 was almost identical in the experimental and control groups after 3 days of culture, but slightly increased after 7 days of culture with chitosan oligomer. These results suggest that a super-low concentration of chitooligosaccharide could modulate the activity of osteoblastic cells through mRNA levels and that the genes concerning cell proliferation and differentiation can be controlled by water-soluble chitosan.

Objectives: This study evaluated the antibacterial effect and mechanical properties of composite resins ($L_{CR}$, $M_{CR}$, $H_{CR}$) incorporating chitosan with three different molecular weights (L, Low; M, Medium; H, High). Materials and Methods: Streptococcus (S). mutans 100 mL and each chitosan powder were inoculated in sterilized 10 mL Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) solution, and was centrifuged for 12 hr. Absorbance of the supernatent was measured at $OD_{660}$ to estimate the antibacterial activities of chitosan. After S. mutans was inoculated in the disc shaped chitosan-containing composite resins, the disc was cleansed with BHI and diluted with serial dilution method. S. mutans was spread on Mitis-salivarius bacitracin agar. After then, colony forming unit (CFU) was measured to verify the inhibitory effect on S. mutans biofilm. To ascertain the effect on the mechanical properties of composite resin, 3-point bending and Vickers hardness tests were done after 1 and 3 wk water storage, respectively. Using 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Scheffe test, statistical analysis was done with 95% significance level. Results: All chitosan powder showed inhibition effect against S. mutans. CFU number in chitosan-containing composite resins was smaller than that of control resin without chitosan. The chitosan containing composite resins did not show any significant difference in flexural strength and Vickers hardness in comparison with the control resin. However, the composite resin, $M_{CR}$ showed a slightly decreased flexural strength and the maximum load than those of control and the other composite resins $H_{CR}$ and $L_{CR}$. Conclusions: $L_{CR}$ and $H_{CR}$ would be recommended as a feasible antibacterial restorative due to its antibacterial nature and mechanical properties.
