Obesity-induced inflammation is crucial in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we investigated the effects of the Gracilaria chorda (GC) on lipid accumulation and obesity-induced inflammatory changes or glucose homeostasis in cell models (3T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages). Samples of GC were extracted using solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol) and subcritical water (SW) at different temperatures (90, 150, and 210℃). The total phenolic content of GCSW extract at 210℃ (GCSW210) showed the highest content compared to others, and GCSW210 highly inhibited lipid accumulation and significantly reduced gene expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, and fatty acid synthase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, GCSW210 effectively downregulated the pro-inflammatory cytokine regulator pathways in RAW 264.7 macrophages, including mitogen-activated protein kinase, signal transducers and activators of transcription and nuclear factor-κB. In co-culture of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages, GCSW210 significantly reduced nitric oxide production and interleukin-6 levels, and improved glucose uptake with dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that GCSW210 improves glucose metabolism by attenuating obesity-induced inflammation in adipocytes, which may be used as a possible treatment option for managing obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

Obesity is a disease involving mechanisms of fat accumulation, low-grade inflammatory cytokine release, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of abalone intestine extract on fat metabolism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high fat diet-induced zebrafish larvae. The total phenol content was highest in subcritical water extract at 210℃ (SW210) among hot water, ethanol, and subcritical water extracts of abalone intestine. In addition, SW210 of male abalone intestine (MASW210) most effectively controlled the lipid accumulation and expression of adipogenic or lipogenic regulators (PPAR-γ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c, and FAS) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Likewise, in zebrafish larvae fed high fat, MASW210 significantly suppressed body weight, glucose levels, and lipid accumulation. The mRNA expression related to adipogenesis (PPAR-γ and C/EBPα), lipogenesis (SREBP-1c and FAS), inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), energy m/;.etabolism (AMPK, lepr, SIRT1, and adiponectin), and mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α and CPT-1) were significantly regulated by treatment with MASW210. These results suggest that abalone intestine extract such as MASW210, are useful biomaterials for improving obesity and metabolic diseases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of a transcritical cycle for hot water heating using $CO_2$ as a working fluid. Some of the main parameters that affect the practical performance of the $CO_2$ system are discussed; the performance on the variation of refrigerant charge, changes in flow conditions of secondary fluids, and that with or without internal heat exchanger, The experimental results show that the optimum charge is approximately the same for various mass flow rates of the secondary fluid at gas cooler. The experimental results on the effect of secondary fluids are in general agreement with the experimental results of transcritical cycle in the open literature and show similar trend for conventional subcritical vapor compression cycles. The heat exchanger effectiveness increases with an increase of the heat exchange area of the internal heat exchanger regardless of the mass flow rate at the gas cooler.

홍삼의 신규 추출 방법으로 아임계수 추출(subcritical water extraction, SWE)을 적용하여 홍삼 추출물의 이화화적 특성 및 진세노사이드 추출 특성을 조사함으로써 최적 아임계수 추출 조건을 결정하고 기존 추출 방법과 비교함으로써 산업적 이용 효율을 평가하였다. 아임계수 추출에 의한 홍삼 추출물의 당도, 고형분 함량, 색차 및 탁도는 추출 온도가 높아지고 추출 시간이 길어질수록 증가하였고 pH는 낮아졌으며, 조 사포닌은 $120^{\circ}C$, 20분에서 최대였다. TLC 및 HPLC 분석 결과, 총 및 극성 진세노사이드 농도는 $120^{\circ}C$, 20분에서 최대였고 홍삼 특유의 저극성 진세노사이드 Rg3, Rh1 등은 $150^{\circ}C$, 15분에서 최대 농도였다. 또한 최적 아임계수 추출과 열수, 에탄올 및 메탄올을 용매로 환류 냉각 추출하여 비교한 결과, 저극성 진세노사이드의 추출 이행률은 $150^{\circ}C$, 15분의 아임계수 추출에서 가장 높았고 특히 Rg3는 3.5-5배, Rh1은 2-2.5배의 높은 농도로 나타났다. 홍삼의 특이 사포닌으로 극미량 존재하는 Rg3 및 Rh1은 강력한 항암 효과 등이 보고되면서 최근 화학적, 물리적, 생물학적 방법에 의한 전환연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 낮은 선택성과 생산성의 저하, 부 반응으로 인한 환경 공해 및 대량 생산의 한계 등으로 산업적 적용에 제약이 존재하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 아임계 상태에서의 물의 특성 변화를 이용한 아임계수 추출을 적용하여 홍삼으로부터 특히 저극성 진세노사이드의 선택적 추출 및 전환에 효과적인 대체 기술로서 가능성을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to evaluated the photoprotective effects of porcine placenta extract (PPE) on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) to evaluate its functional activities as a skin food ingredient. PPE prepared by subcritical water extraction was termed SPE, and subsequently digested by enzymes to prepare E-SPE. Increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels (192.0%) induced by UVB were decreased by SPE and E-SPE. SPE had more effective ROS scavenging activity than E-SPE treatment. UVB treatment increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), and this elevated expression was decreased by E-SPE treatment. High-dose treatment with E-SPE (50 and 100 µg/mL) reduced TIMP-1 expression levels of UVB-C (control) to 33.5 and 34.6%, respectively. In contrast, at low SPE doses (1 and 10 µg/mL), the treatment slightly decreased TIMP- 1 expression levels to 73.3% and 71.3% of UVB-C, respectively. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the protective effect of SPE and E-SPE against UVB damage in keratinocytes via ROS scavenging, down-regulating MMP-2 expression and up-regulating TIMP- 1 expression. This highlights the potential for SPE as an ingredient in the preparation of functional food against photoaging.

Maximum production of isoquercetin and quercetin simultaneously from rutin by subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) was optimized using the response surface methodology. Hydrolysis parameters such as temperature, time, and $CO_2$ pressure were selected as independent variables, and isoquercetin and quercetin yields were selected as dependent variables. The regression models of the yield of isoquercetin and quercetin were valid due to the high F-value and low P-value. Furthermore, the high regression coefficient indicated that the polynomial model equation provides a good approximation of experimental results. In maximum production of isoquercetin from rutin, the hydrolysis temperature was the major factor, and the temperature or time can be lower if the $CO_2$ pressure was increased high enough, thereby preventing the degradation of isoquercetin into quercetin. The yield of quercetin was considerably influenced by temperature instead of time and $CO_2$ pressure. The optimal condition for maximum production of isoquercetin and quercetin simultaneously was temperature of $171.4^{\circ}C$, time of 10.0 min, and $CO_2$ pressure of 11.0 MPa, where the predicted maximum yields of isoquercetin and quercetin were 13.7% and 53.3%, respectively. Hydrolysis temperature, time, and $CO_2$ pressure for maximum production of isoquercetin were lower than those of quercetin. Thermal degradation products such as protocatechuic acid and 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone were observed due to pyrolysis at high temperature. It was concluded that rutin can be easily converted into isoquercetin and quercetin by SWH under $CO_2$ pressure, and this result can be applied for SWH of rutin-rich foodstuffs.

The control rod worth is a key safety parameter required to be measured in commercial pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Conventionally, the control rod worth is measured after reaching the critical state, which occupies the considerable time in the zero-power physics test. In this study, an efficient control-rod worth measurement technique has been proposed based on the improved neutron-source multiplication method, which can be implemented with the source-range detector count rates in the subcritical states. Moreover, the noise reduction technique has been adopted to smooth the large fluctuation existing in the original signals. In order to verify the engineering performance of the proposed measurement technique, the measured source-range detector count rates during the rod withdrawal process before reaching critical state in a CNP1000 reactor have been employed. It demonstrated that almost all estimated results of control rod worth satisfy the engineering acceptance criteria, except one control rod with the relative difference over 10 %, which indicates the capability of the proposed method in estimating control rod worth.

본 연구의 실험조건에서 poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)의 분해반응 속도 연구를 하기 위해서 고압 용융고분자 주입장치를 고안하였다. 회분식 반응기와 고압 용융고분자 주입장치가 결합된 실험 장치를 이용하여 일정압력 250 bar에서 온도를 300, 320, $340^{\circ}C$로 각각 변화시키면서 PET의 분해반응 실험을 수행하였다. 각 온도에서 초기 1분내의 전환율이 76-90%가 될 정도로 매우 높았으며 온도가 증가함에 따라 전환율도 증가하여 반응시간 10분에는 전환율이 98%이상의 높은 값을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 2차 반응에 기초하여 반응속도 상수를 구했으며 이를 이용하여 전환율을 계산하였는데 평균 2%정도의 오차범위로 실험치와 좋은 일치를 보였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 반응속도상수를 이용하여 아임계수 내에서 PET 분해반응의 활성화 에너지를 구하였는데 그 값은 54.4 kJ/mol 이었다.
