화학적(化學的) 광양측정방법(光量測定方法)을 리용(利用)하여 제주도(濟州島)의 해변(海邊)과 해발(海拔) 1,100m 고지(高地)에서 봄부터 가을사이의 태탕광선중(太湯光線中) 자외선(紫外線) 함양(含量)을 측정(測定)한 결과(結果), 여름과 초가을의 자외선(紫外線) 함풍(含豊)은 봄에 비해서 배(倍) 이상(以上)으로 나타났으며 고지대(高地帶)에서는 더 많은 자외선(紫外線) 함양(含量)이 측정(測定)되었다. 포장조건(圃場條件)에서 UV-B부분(部分)($280{\sim}320nm$) 자외선(紫外線)의 투과률(透過率)이 서로 다른 필름을 피복(被覆)하여 대두(大豆)의 생장발육(生長發育)을 조사(調査)했는데, 광선중(光線中) UV-B의 해작용(害作用)은 인정(認定)되지 않았다. 자외선(紫外線)이 식물(植物)의 광형태형성(光形態形成)에 미치는 효과(效果)를 구명(究明)하기 위하여 미형태형성(米形態形成)에 관여하는 식물(植物)의 광수용체(光受容體) 색소(色素)인 파이토크롬에 UV-B를 쪼이면서 파이토크롬의 변화(變化)를 추적(追跡)하였던바, 분자량(分子量) 124,000인 파이토크롬은 60% Pfr, 분자양(分子量)${\sim}120,000$은 50% Pfr의 광평형(光平衡) 상태(狀態)를 보였다. 광변환중(光變換中) quantum yield는 분자양(分子量) 124,000의 파이토크롬에서는 ${\phi}r=0.016$, ${\phi}fr=0.010$이었으며 분자량(分子量)${\sim}120,000$은 ${\phi}r={\phi}fr=0.012$였다. 포장상웅(圃場狀熊)에서 공시(供試)된 대두(大豆)에 UV-B의 해작용(害作用)이 관찰(觀察)되지 않은 것은, UV-B가 파이토크롬을 변환(變換)시켜 파이토크롬이 관여하는 방어적(防禦的) 형태형성(形態形成) 및 발육(發育)을 촉진(促進)시키기 때문이라고 추론(推論)되었다.

Ultraviolet light(UV-C, wavelength: 200~280nm) is employed profitably for sterilizing drinking water. For most water serving apparatus such as a water purifier, a water cooler and heater, a coffee vending machine and etc., pre-sterilized water may be contaminated secondarily with bacillary inhabitation in a container before serving. In consideration of this problem, a household water tap which is equipped with a sterilization/Purification device in combination with non-contact UV-lamp, was designed to sterilize and purify water at the last outlet just before serving. Hopefully this simple but creative item may be commercialized for household and public use.

Objectives : Lonicerae japonicae Flos(LJF) has been reported to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-rheumatoid properties. However, it is still largely unknown whether LJF inhibits the ultraviolet(UV)B-induced oxidative damage in human HaCaT keratinocytes. Therefore in this paper, we investigated the anti-oxidative capacity and protective effect of LJF against UVB-induced oxidative demage in human HaCaT keratinocytes. Methods : To evaluate the anti-oxidative activity of LJF extracts, we measured total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, antioxidant capacity, and superoxide scavenging activity. To give an oxidative stress to HaCaT cells, UVB was irradiated with $200mJ/cm^2$ to HaCaT cells. To detect the protective effect of LJF against UVB, we measured cell viability, DNA fragmentation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In addition, we performed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to find a major component of LJF. Results : LJF contained phenolic and flavonoid contents, and showed the anti-oxidant and superoxide scavenging activity. The UVB-induced oxidative conditions led to the cell death, DNA fragmentation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, pretreatment with LJF reduced oxidative conditions, including inhibition of cell death, DNA fragmentation and ROS production. In addition, we found out chlorogenic acid as major component of LJF. Conclusions : These results could suggest that LJF contained anti-oxidative contents and exhibited protective effects against UVB on human HaCaT keratinocytes. And the effective compound of LJF which could show protective activities against UVB is chlorogenic acid. Thus, LJF and chlorogenic acid would be useful for the development of drug or cosmetics treating skin troubles.

The unexpected rising flux of early-type galaxies at decreasing ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths is a long-standing mystery. One important observational constraint is the correlation between UV-optical colours and Mg2 line strengths found by Burstein et al. (1988). The simplest interpretation of this phenomenon is that the UV strength is related to the Mg line-strength. Under this assumption, we expect galaxies with larger Mg gradients to have larger UV colour gradients. By combining UV imaging from GALEX, optical imaging from MDM and SAURON integral-field spectroscopy, we investigate the spatially-resolved relationships between UV colours and stellar population properties of 34 early-type galaxies from the SAURON survey sample. We find that galaxies with old stellar populations show tight correlations between the FUV colours (FUV-V and FUV-NUV) and the Mg b index, $H{\beta}$ index and metallicity [Z/H]. We have also derived logarithmic internal radial colour, measured line strength and derived stellar population gradients for each galaxy and again found a strong dependence of the FUV-V and FUV-NUV colour gradients on both the Mg b line-strength and the metallicity gradients. In particular, global gradients of Mg b and [Z/H] with respect to the UV colour across galaxies are consistent with their local gradients within galaxies, suggesting that the global correlations also hold locally. From a simple model based on multi-band colour fits of UV upturn and UV-weak galaxies, we have identified a plausible range of parameters that reproduces the observed radial colour profiles. In these models, the centers of elliptical galaxies, where the UV flux is strong, are enhanced in metals by roughly 60% compared to UV-weak regions.

The enzyme-producing potentials of industrially important strains of Aspergillus spp. were studied. Irradiation of three original isolates of Aspergillus oryzae to ultra-violet rays resulted in the production of mutants which differed from the parent riboflavin and vitamin $B_{12}$ in culture media. 1. Irradition three strains of Aspergillus oryzae to ultraviolet light produced mutants and two strains of them were selected for soy sauce brewing. 2. The two strains are the physiological mutants of Aspergillus oryzae. Both were found to have superior enzyme activity to their relatives. 3. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 and 569-713 were more powerful than others in the production of riboflavin and vitamin $B_{12}$. The enzyme activity of these strain were high and decreased only slightly even in 20 percent solution of NaCl. 4. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 had more powerful protease producibility in wheat bran media than in modified Czapek's solution. On the contrary, Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 had more powerful producibility of saccharogenic and dextrinogenic amylase in modified Czapek's solution than in mold bran. 5. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 formed the spore rapidly and Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 did ordinarily. 6. It is found from the results that Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 is valuable material for the manufacture of soy sauce because of its high protease activity in 20 percent solution of NaCl. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 is suitable for soy bean mash and for fermented red pepper sauce for its high saccharogenic and dextrinogenic amylase activity in 20 percent solution of sodium chloride.

견직물에 홍화 황색소와 홍색소로 염색을 한 후 자외선 조사 후 시료들의 염착량 색채변화, 형태변화, 인장강도변화를 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 색소의 종류에 상관없이 자외선 조사시간 증가에 따라 염착량이 감소되었다. 그러나 홍색 소보다는 황색소로 염색한 시료들의 최종 자외선 조사 28일 후의 염착량 보유율이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 견직물의 경우 홍화 홍색소보다는 황색소가 자외선에 대한 내구력이 더욱 있음을 알수 있다. 2. 색채변화의 경우, 황색소로 염색한 시료들도 $L^*$은 증가하고 $a^*$는 감소하고, $b^*$도 감소하였으며, H/VC, ${\Delta}E$ 등 색채 전반에 퇴색이 나타났다. 홍색소로 염색한 시료들은 자외선 조사 시간 증가에 따라 $L^*$은 증가하고 $a^*$는 감소하였으며, $b^*$는 증가하였고, H/VC, ${\Delta}E$ 등 색채 전반에 퇴색이 나타났다. 그러나 조사 28일 후의 색차는 홍화 홍색소보다는 황색소가 훨씬 낮았다. 3. 자외선 조사시간에 따른 형태학적 변화의 결과, 견직물에 대해서는 홍화 색소의 종류에 상관없이 조사 28일 후 모든 시료들에서 심한 손상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 4. 자외선 조사시간에 따른 인장 강도 변화 결과, 모든 종류의 시료에서 자외선 조사시간 증가에 따른 강도의 손실을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 홍색 소보다는 황색소로 염색한 시료들의 인장 강도 보유율이 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 홍화 염색한 견직물의 경우 자외선 조사에 의해 색소의 종류에 상관없이 염색물 자체의 성능에 많은 변화가 나타났음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 천염 염색물의 자외선에 의한 변화는 섬유의 자체의 특성뿐만 아니라 색소의 차이도 영향을 주는 것으로 보이며, 견직물의 경우에는 홍화 황색소가 홍색 소보다 자외선에 대한 내구성이 더욱 좋은 것으로 파악되었다. 차후 견직물 이외 다른 섬유 종류와 홍화의 두가지 색소가 자외선에 반응하는 연구를 통해 본 연구결과가 보충될 수 있을 것으로 본다.

서리태콩 (Glycine max Merr. var Seoritae)에서 광원에 따른 엽의 광합성 변화를 구명하기 위하여 콩의 제 1복엽이 완전 전개되었을 때 3일 동안 빛을 차단한 후 UV-B 와 일반광에 노출시켜 색소 함량과 엽록소 형광반응의 변화를 측정하였다. 암처리에서 엽록소 함량은 감소하고, 일반 광에서 회복하였다. 카로티노이드와 안토시아닌 함량은 UV-B 조사한 처리구에서 증가하였다. 엽록소 형광분석을 이용한 광합성 능률을 분석한 결과, 암처리가 진행 됨에 따라 Fv/Fm, F'v/F'm, ${\Phi}_{PSII}$ 및 NPQ는 감소하였다. 모든 변수들은 일반광에 노출되면서 회복하였으나 UV 처리한 것은 암처리 72시간의 수치와 큰 변화가 없었다. 이를 통하여 암처리 48시간 경과함으로 엽록체가 에티오플라스트로 전환되며, 일반광을 조사하였을 시 광합성 관련 광계가 복구되지만, UV-B의 강한 광이 조사되었을 때 광계가 회복되지 못하는 것으로 사료되었다.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor that leads to acute and chronic reactions in the human skin. UV exposure induces wrinkle formation, DNA damage, and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Most mechanistic studies of skin physiology and pharmacology related with UV-irradiated skin have focused on proteins and their related gene expression or single-targeted small molecules. The present study identified and analyzed the alteration of skin metabolites following UVB irradiation and topical retinyl palmitate (RP, 5%) treatment in hairless mice using direct analysis in real time (DART) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) with multivariate analysis. Under the negative ion mode, the DART ion source successfully ionized various fatty acids including palmitoleic and linolenic acid. From DART-TOF-MS fingerprints measured in positive mode, the prominent dehydrated ion peak (m/z: 369, M+H-$H_2O$) of cholesterol was characterized in all three groups. In positive mode, the discrimination among three groups was much clearer than that in negative mode by using multivariate analysis of orthogonal partial-least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). DART-TOF-MS can ionize various small organic molecules in living tissues and is an efficient alternative analytical tool for acquiring full chemical fingerprints from living tissues without requiring sample preparation. DART-MS measurement of skin tissue with multivariate analysis proved to be a powerful method to discriminate between experimental groups and to find biomarkers for various experiment models in skin dermatological research.

Skin photoaging occurs due to chronic exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UV), the main factor contributing to extrinsic skin aging. Clinical signs of photoaging include the formation of deep, coarse skin wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Although melanogenesis and skin wrinkling occur in different skin cells and have different underlying mechanisms, their initiation involves intracellular calcium signaling via calcium ion channels. The ORAI1 channel initiates melanogenesis in melanocytes, and the TRPV1 channel initiates MMP-1 production in keratinocytes in response to UV stimulation. We aimed to develop a drug that may simultaneously inhibit ORAI1 and TRPV1 activity to help prevent photoaging. We synthesized nootkatol, a chemical derivative of valencene. TRPV1 and ORAI1 activities were measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i was measured using calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye (Fura-2 AM). UV-induced melanin formation and MMP-1 production were quantified in B16F10 melanoma cells and HaCaT cells, respectively. Our results indicate that nootkatol (90 μM) reduced TRPV1 current by 94% ± 2% at -60 mV and ORAI1 current by 97% ± 1% at -120 mV. Intracellular calcium signaling was significantly inhibited by nootkatol in response to ORAI1 activation in human primary melanocytes (51.6% ± 0.98% at 100 μM). Additionally, UV-induced melanin synthesis was reduced by 76.38% ± 5.90% in B16F10 melanoma cells, and UV-induced MMP-1 production was reduced by 59.33% ± 1.49% in HaCaT cells. In conclusion, nootkatol inhibits both TRPV1 and ORAI1 to prevent photoaging, and targeting ion channels may be a promising strategy for preventing photoaging.

The Fe-treated CNT/$TiO_2$ photocatalysts mixed with anatase and rutile phase have been developed for the decomposition of non-biodegradable different organic dyes like methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (Rh.B), and methyl orange (MO) in two conditions as ultraviolet and visible light respectively. The results indicate that all the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites proved to be more efficient photocatalysts since degradation of MB at higher reaction rates, tthe decomposition rate of different dyes increases with an increase of $Fe^{3+}$ concentration in composites the highest rate of decomposition of different dyes was noted under UV irradiation. These results can indicate that the large CNT network is facilitate the electron transfer and strongly adsorb dye molecules on the texted photocatalysts, iron is reactive in the photo-Fenton process resulting in high production of OH radicals and also high activity of the photocatalyst. And Fe particles can generate more photoinduced electrons to conduction band of $TiO_2$ under visible light irradiation. The composites of Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ photocatalysts synthesized by a sol-gel method were characterized by BET, TEM, SEM, XRD and EDX.
