Objectives : This study was designed to identify the possibility of aroma oils as the complementary medical goods specially for the effects of aromatheraphy on xerosis cutis. Materials and Methods : The participants were 23 adult patients and all participants of this study use aroma oils which is known to effect on xerosis cutis. The subjects consist of voluntary patients with xerosis cutis in Seong-So Hospital in Andong Kyoungbuk, Korea. From April 1st to April 30th, 2004 for 4 weeks, the subjects massaged aroma oils on itching parts or the whole body. Aroma oils were Lavender, Losemary, Jasmine and blended drop by drop per 10ml jojoba oil which used a carrier oil. Skin pH was measured with a skin pH meter(Model : HI98110, Se-Chang instruments, made in Portuga. After 4weeks using aroma oils, the participants answered questions about the feeling of satisfaction with aroma oils. Results : Changes in the physiological indices. The mean deviation of skin pH was $5.58{\pm}0.47$ points before using aroma oils and $5.53{\pm}0.45$ points after 2 weeks, no statistical significance was found(p=0.221). MD was $5.36{\pm}0.41$ points after 4 weeks using aroma oils, which was statistically significant decrease of 0.22 points(p=0.001) Changes on the Pruritus Score Scale. A modified scale of the Pruritus Score Scale(Duo, 1987) was used to measure the severity, location, frequency, and the inconveniences of daily life due to prurius. The maximum scale of severity was 4 points, the full marks of location was 2 points, the full marks of frequency was 3 points, the full marks of inconveniences of daily life due to pruritus was 3 points. The scores ranged from 0 to 12, with 12 indicating the most severe pruritus. There was no statistical difference in severity and frequency score at 4 weeks later(severity p=0.097, frequency p=0.633). A statistically significant difference was found in the score of location and the inconveniences of daily life due to pruritus(each p=0.003). Conclusion : Generally speaking, the patient suffering from renal itch is the higher than normal in skin pH levels. that means to show alkaline condition of skin surface. In some case in this study, skin pH levels was rather lower than normal levels when measured actually patients suffering from renal itch by skin pH meter. But in this study post-test skin pH levels decreased, showing the contribution of aromathrapy to acidic condition of skin surface in suffering from renal itch. It seems to be some help to cure a pruritus and also have no ill effects on aroma oils.

The practical use of Korean native black goat skin as a source of gelatin extraction is limited. The objective of this study was to optimize the extraction temperature and time of gelatin from Korean native black goat skin, and to compare the quality characteristics of goat skin gelatin and other commercial gelatin products. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the extraction temperature and time of gelatin obtained from native Korean black goat skin. The effects of temperature (50℃-70℃) and time (2-4 h) on extraction yield and gel strength were investigated using a face-centered central composite design with 13 experiments. Gelatin extraction from Korean native black goat skin was prepared through the serial processes of alkali pre-treatment, bleaching, neutralization, hot-water extraction, and freeze-drying. Using the optimization plot of Minitab software, the optimized conditions for extracting temperature and time of goat skin gelatin were 59.49℃ and 3.03 h, and the optimized values of extraction yield and gel strength were 12.52% and 263.37 g, respectively. Based on a quality comparison of goat skin gelatin with commercial gelatin, the pH value of gelatin extracted from Korean native black goat skin was 5.57. The color of gelatin extracted from Korean native black goat skin was darker than that of commercial gelatin (p<0.05). Higher emulsifying properties and gel strength of goat skin gelatin were observed when compared to those of commercial gelatin (p<0.05). Therefore, the results of this study indicate that Korean native black goat skin may be a valuable source for gelatin extraction.

인위적 수온변화에 의한 미꾸라지 피부의 점액세포 반응을 확인하기 위해 고온($32^{\circ}C$)과 저온($4^{\circ}C$)에 적응시킨 실험군의 표피조직을 실온($18^{\circ}C$)의 대조군 집단과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 고온적응 설험군에서는 대조군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 저온적응 실험군에서는 등, 체측, 후두부의 점액세포 수와 크기가 현저하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다(P<0.01). 또한 저온적응 실험군의 수온을 증가시켜 상온에서 재 적응시킨 결과에서도 피부 정액세포의 수와 크기가 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보였다(P<0.01). 따라서 미꾸라지 피부의 점액세포가 저온에 매우 민감하게 반응하는 양상은 어류의 조직학적 환경지표로서 유용할 것으로 여겨진다.

Koreans has regarded a fair skin as the supreme beauty emphasizing the white beauty so long, and mugwort and garlic were used as whitening materials. Also, it was recorded that the people of Eub-Rue (挹婁) applied some lard to protect their skin from cold and prevent frostbite, and this must be a great way of beauty care in the light of modern sense. The basic beauty care materials currently used as skin care materials, include natural minerals like loess or mud, and the ones composed of a highly polymerized compound. However, by reason that they are produced without consideration of an individual skin condition, and rather bring about a number of problems leading to skin diseases. To complement this issue, using natural resources would have priority to make up for the weak points. For this, we decided to select and study "Dongeuibogam".

In this paper we propose a method to detect human faces in color images. Many existing systems use a window-based classifier that scans the entire image for the presence of the human face and such systems suffers from scale variation, pose variation, illumination changes, etc. Here, we propose a lighting insensitive face detection method based upon the edge and skin tone information of the input color image. First, image enhancement is performed, especially if the image is acquired from an unconstrained illumination condition. Next, skin segmentation in YCbCr and RGB space is conducted. The result of skin segmentation is refined using the skin tone percentage index method. The edges of the input image are combined with the skin tone image to separate all non-face regions from candidate faces. Candidate verification using primitive shape features of the face is applied to decide which of the candidate regions corresponds to a face. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can detect faces that are of different sizes, in different poses, and that are making different expressions under unconstrained illumination conditions.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of alleviating inflammation through creating skin fat barrier from Scutellaria baicalensis extract. Methods Four-week-old Balb/C mice were divided into four groups: control group (Ctrl), lipid barrier eliminated group (LBEG), dexamethasone (DM) treated group after lipid barrier elimination (DMTG), and Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) treated group after lipid barrier elimination (SBTG). Scutellaria baicalensis extract were administered for 5 days after removal of the fat barrier. Changes in skin condition, improvement of the fat barrier, and relief of inflammation were observed in each group. Results Compared to LBEG and DMTG, pathological skin damage and tissue changes were less in SBTG, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and pH were also significantly reduced. Filaggrin was also significantly increased in SBTG. KLK7, PAR-2, and TSLP in SBTG also showed significant reduction compared to the LBEG and DMTG. Conclusions Scutellaria baicalensis extract restores skin barrier and relieves inflammation through the creation of skin fat barrier. This means that the Scutellaria baicalensis extract can regulate Th2 differentiation through the creation of the epithelial fat barrier.

피부색 영역의 검출을 위한 기존 연구들은 영상의 각 픽셀을 피부에 속하는 픽셀(피부픽셀)과 속하지 않는 픽셀(비피부픽셀)로 나누게 된다. 이때 정확한 피부색 영역을 검출하는 작업은 영상의 조명효과 및 화장에 의한 피부색 변형 등으로 매우 어려운 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 피부 영역 검출을 어렵게 하는 여러 가지 요인을 포함한 영상들로부터 효율적으로 피부영역을 검출하기 위해 계층화된 피부 모델과 컨텍스트 정보를 통합하여 피부 영역 검출의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 획득된 영상들로부터 뽑아낸 피부색 색깔 값들의 확률분포를 YCbCr칼라 공간에 만들고, 그 확률 값에 따라 피부(Skin), 피부후보(Skinness), 비피부(Non-skin)의 3계층으로 분류한 3차원 피부색 모델을 만든다. 계층화된 피부색 모델을 이용하여 각 픽셀의 피부색 여부를 결정하고, 피부후보(Skinness)색에 해당하는 경우에는 이웃 화소의 정보를 고려하여 피부색 또는 비 피부색으로 정하게 된다. 제안 방법의 사용으로 피부색이 왜곡 되었거나 피부색과 유사한 객체가 포함된 다양한 영상들에서도 효율적으로 피부 영역을 분할할 수 있었다.

피부는 인체의 외부를 덮고 있는 기관일 뿐 아니라, 체온을 조절하고, 감각기능을 수행하며, 약물을 투입하는 경로가 되기도 하고 내부 기관의 이상을 표현하는 기관이 되기도 한다. 이러한 이유로 인해, 사람들은 타인의 얼굴 피부의 상태를 보고 건강의 이상 징후를 감지하거나, "안색이 좋다", "생기가 있다" 등으로 신체의 컨디션을 표현해왔다. 환경과 노화정도에 따라서 피부색, 피부결, 수분, 탄력 등이 달라지는 것도 알려진 사실이다. 특히, 피부색은 아름다움, 매력도와 같은 주관적인 인상을 판단하는데 영향을 미치는 인자로 작용하는데, 화장품이나 피부시술을 통해 피부색을 개선하고자 하는 소비자를 통해서 그 수요를 짐작할 수 있다. 하지만 피부색이 여러 색의 구성임에도 불구하고, 대부분의 화장품이 하얀 피부로 개선해주는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있으며 여성들이 선호하는 피부색에 대한 연구가 아직까지는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 30 ~ 40대의 한국여성을 대상으로 같은 피부 밝기에서 붉은 정도와 푸른 정도가 달리 주어진 선호도 조사를 통해 긍정적으로 인식하는 피부색의 상태를 발견하였다. 한국여성은 실제 평균 피부색에 비해 붉은색과 푸른색이 높은 피부를 선호하는 것으로 나타났으며, 피부에 대한 표현을 달리하였을 때에도 경향은 유사하였다. 본 연구 결과는 새로운 소비자의 요구를 만족시키는 제품 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다.
