The need for natural cosmetic ingredients has been increasing over the world nowadays. Agarose, a natural polymer from red seaweeds, has high hydrophilic character and a function of scaffolder. As skin moisturizer, agarose is adequate for percutaneous absorption. While, blueberry fruits extract possesses rich procyanidins and anthocyanins which show health benefits, anti-oxidant effect, anti-aging and anti-melanogenesis. Stability, sensory preference, skin trouble of the emulsion formula are important for cosmetic product development. In this study, we manufactured an emulsion formula for skin moisturizers using the two ingredients and tested emulsion stability and skin trouble. Total phenolic contents of the blueberry fruits extract were evaluated as well as tyrosinase inhibitory and collagenase inhibitory activities. $IC_{50}$ values of blueberry fruits extract for anti-tyrosinase and anti-collagenase activities were 168 and $112{\mu}g/mL$, respectively using gallic acid as a control ($64.8{\mu}g/mL$). The stability (pH and viscosity) of the formula containing 2% blueberry fruits extracts and 0.1% agarose was measured at five different temperatures (room temp., $25^{\circ}C$, $55^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, $55^{\circ}C$) under the sun light at 2 day intervals for 12 days. There has been little pH change at the different temperatures. According to the sensory evaluation, there was no significant flavor, discoloration and physical changes of the formula at $25-65^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that emulsion formula containing blueberry extract and agarose could be used as a candidate for lotion and essence products.

Objectives: We evaluated the effects of an allergy control program on children with atopic dermatitis (AD) in five schools located within Gyeonggi-do. Methods: Based on the results of the 12-month prevalence of AD symptoms from an International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire of all students (n=2109; 1040 boys, 1069 girls) at five randomly selected schools, 227 students with AD symptoms were screened. Finally, 188 students with greater than 1 on SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) determined by a physician were selected. The allergy control program includes education related to allergic diseases, skin prick tests, and SCORAD evaluation, as well as keeping a daily journal to check the usage of moisturizer at least once a day. To determine the effectiveness of the allergy control program, SCORAD evaluation was performed again six weeks later. Results: The most common symptom for 12-month prevalence was rhinorrhea (33.9%), followed by atopic skin lesions (14.8%) and wheezing (4.0%). The 12-month prevalences of the three allergic diseases were higher for boys than for girls, and a significant difference was found for allergic rhinitis (P<0.001). The mean SCORAD index decreased significantly from 26.1 to 17.5 after the completion of the six-week control program (P<0.01). In particular, these differences were more pronounced for the group which used the daily journal (P<0.001). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the allergy control program including usage of a daily journal as well as regular monitoring could be a promising tool for preventing and alleviating the symptoms of allergic diseases.

This study evaluated the effect of extraction conditions of yam (Dioscorea aimadoimo) on antioxidant, moisturizing, collagenase activity, proliferation, and migration. Yam has been recognized as a healthy food due to its various biological activities, such as anti-obesity, anti-constipation, anti-mutagenic activities, as well as its ability to decrease blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Electron donating ability of high temperature ethanol extract of Dioscorea aimadoimo (HDA) had shown 70.6% at 400 mg/ml, and low temperature ethanol extract of Dioscorea aimadoimo (LDA) had shown 40% at 400 mg/ml. SOD-like activities of LDA and HDA were 23% and 34% at 400 mg/ml respectively. LDA significantly reduced the activity of collagenase in a dose-dependent manner, which was higher than HDA. The water contents in LDA-treated skin and HDA-treated skin were increased by 45.63% and 38.65% than the placebo cream respectively. The cellular proliferation of human dermal fibroblast neonatal (HDFn) was evaluated by MTT and cell migration assay. Compared to control, the cell proliferation was elevated to 109.7% and 114% by the treatment of LDA and HDA respectively at the concentration of 200 mg/ml. In addition, LDA and HDA were induced cell migration in HDFn. Our study suggests that LDA and HDA should be a very useful cosmetic ingredient, as anti-aging and skin moisturizer.

Skin aging is a natural phenomenon. There are internal and external factors of skin aging. The internal factor of skin aging is from the wearing down of the body over time. The external factors are more noticeable from habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol, malnutrition, and extended exposure to UV rays. Completely stopping skin from aging is impossible but one can slow down and treat external signs of skin aging. In western medicine, the following methods are used to reduce the appearance of skin aging: applying lotions and creams containing ingredients such as fruit acid, antioxidants, plant exracts, depigmentation, moisturizer, retinoids, and sun block; botulinum toxin injections; chemical peels, laser and other painful methods remove the top layer of skin to promote new skin growth; fillers are injected to increase soft tissue growth; surgery. In oriental medicine, the following methods are used: acupuncture into facial muscles which stimulates acupuncture point; applying topical treatments and cosmetics containing herbs are effective of preventing skin aging and wrinkles. Above all thing, medicine that helps maintain essence and blood in the skin can be fundamental.

There have been many kinds of hair styling sprays with various setting effects. Consumers have used strong setting effect hair sprays to get a long lasting hold. In recent years, however, more and more consumers have come to prefer a "soft ＆ natural" touch feeling, keeping the same long lasting hold. Nonetheless, the existing approaches to this feature could not respond to the consumers′ needs, since products lose the hold strength if the soft feeling is pursued, and vice versa. We have researched and developed a new products to attain a compatible feature with both long lasting hold and natural feeling. Then, we have developed a new multifunctional hair styling material "Poly Amino Acid Derivative (PAAD)." We have focused on the PAAD′s feature that highly diffuses onto a hair and makes thin and even layer on a hair, and have made trials and errors to improve holding strength. "P AAD" excellently makes hair memorize its curl shape which is as the same effect as existing ordinary acrylic resin. Further more, it leaves a soft and natural touch feeling on the hair. We have accomplished a new Poly Amino Acid Derivative with ambivalent features, "soft ＆ natural finish" and "long lasting hold ", and now we report about it.

다양한 업계에서 한 번에 여러 가지 기능을 수행하는 '다목적' 제품을 출시하는 브랜드들이 늘고 있다. 그러나 소비자들이 다목적 제품과 이를 제공하는 브랜드에 대한 인식 관련 연구는 아직 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 소비자들이 미(美) 에 대해 갖고 있는 암묵적 이론이 다목적 제품 관련 지식과 브랜드 지식에 미치는 영향을 연구한다. 외모 지향성이 높은 소비자들 사이에서, 미(美)에 대한 증가(vs. 실체) 이론(즉, 본인의 아름다움은 타고난 것이 아닌, 노력에 의해 변화시킬 수 있는 것이라는 믿음)이 강할 수록 다목적 제품에 대한 선호도가 감소한다는 것을 발견하였다. 또한, 이는 전반적인 브랜드 평가에도 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 제품/브랜드 관련 지식경영에 있어, 소비자들의 암묵적 이론과 그에 따른 선호도를 고려해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

난초를 키우는 화분에 보습용으로 사용되는 다공성 화산석을 2-3 mm크기로 파쇄한 후 $600^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 태워서 가연성 물질 을 제거하고 IN의 염산용액으로$60-70^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 이물질을 녹여댄 후 세척할 경우 효모 고정화에 적당한 담체를 얻을 수 있었다 이 때 염산 용액 대신 NaOH 용액을 세척용액으로 사용 할 수 있으나 담체 구성성분의 용출이 있을 수 있으므로 용액 농도, 처리온도 및 시간에 주의하여야 한다 이렇게 제조된 담체 는 기공의 크기가 $15-80\mu\textrm{m}$이고 충전 밀도는 0.4-0.6 g/mL 였으며 $SiO_2$가 주성분이었고, $Al_2O_3$가 소량함유되어 있었으며, CaO, MgO가 미량 함유되어 있었다. 이 담제의 구조와 효모 고 정화 능력을 국내외 기업에서 제조한 실리카 및 알루미나 재질 의 담체의 경우와 비교한 결과 고상포말법으로 제조한 실리가 담체의 구조 및 고정화능력($5{\times108}$ cells/mL bed)과 비슷한 결 과를 보여 효모 고정화용 담체로 손색이 없었다.. Cordierite 담체 와 알루미나 담체는 고정화능이 실리카 담체의 50% 이하로 낮 았는데 이는 기공의 표면이 매끄럽지 못했기 때문으로 효모가 쉽게 흡착하기 위해서는 가능한 한 매끄러운 표면이 바람직하다 는 사실을 알 수 있었다.
