본 연구는 고주파를 발생시키는 고주파기기를 이용한 조류배양시스템에 관한 것으로, 미세조류 배양시 고주파 파형을 이용하는 것이다. 미세조류 배양을 위한 생물반응기에 200KHz~400KHz 고주파 파형이 나오도록 설계되었으며, Osillograph상에서 impedence가 최소가 되는 특정 지점에서 공명을 일으킬 때, 전기적 저항은 최소가 되며, 이상적인 고주파 파형 발생으로 생물반응기내의 미세조류의 Survival과 Growth에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 고주파 파형을 이용한 조류배양 시스템 개발은 자외선 흡수능을 높이는 조류배양에 활용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 미세조류세포 내의 다양한 신호전달에 관련된 특정 피토케미칼, 펩타이드, 단백질 대사 연구에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

This study was attempted to investigate the anti-hypertensive activity of Solanum tuberosum, cv. Gui valley. Ethanol extract of Gui vally (EGV) increased free radical scarvenge activity up to 91.6% of control at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. It's anti-oxidant activity is similar to 10 uM of ascorbic acid, well known as antioxidant. EGV inhibited Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in vitro. ACE plays a important role in regulation of blood pressure and ACE inhibitors are important for the treatment of hypertension. Anti-hypertensive activity of EGV in vivo was assessed in lead acetate (LAT)-induced hypertensive rats for 8 weeks. Elevated blood pressure in control group was significantly decreased by EGV at 200 mg/kg. Also, ACE activity in blood was also suppressed by EGV treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that EGV has an anti-hypersive activity via inhibition of ACE and can be used for the treatment or prevention of hypertension.

This study was conducted to compare the volatile flavor compounds found in the leaves of 15 taxa of Korean native Chrysanthemum species. The volatile flavor compounds from the taxa were collected using a simultaneous steam distillation and extraction technique and were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass selective detector (GC/MSD). A total of 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified with six functional groups: 14 alcohols, 4 ketones, 19 hydrocarbons, 5 esters, 2 acids, and 1 aldehyde. The main functional group in 15 taxa of Chrysanthemum species was alcohols, accounting for 28.7% of volatile flavor compounds, followed by ketones (21.2%) and hydrocarbons (13.2%). Camphor, which is known for its antimicrobial properties, was the most abundant volatile compound (30%) in C. zawadskii ssp. latilobum and var. leiophyllum. In particular, C. indicum subspecies and C. boreale contained ${\alpha}$-thujone, which has outstanding anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, and anti-diabetic efficacies. C. indicum var. albescens could be used in perfumes, since it showed 21 times more camphene than C. indicum. In addition, C. indicum var. acuta contained a fairly high content of 1,8-cineole, which has an inhibitory effect on mutagenesis. C. lineare contained only pentadecanoic acid compounds, whereas other taxa hexadecanoic acids. Overall, the Korean native Chrysanthemum species had considerable variation in volatile flavor compounds in their leaves. This study provides a good indication of specific potential use for various applications.

Background: Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) plays an anti-inflammatory role in a variety of inflammatory diseases such as gastritis, hepatitis, and colitis. However, inflammation-regulatory activity of the calyx of the P. ginseng berry has not been thoroughly evaluated. To understand whether the calyx portion of the P. ginseng berry is able to ameliorate inflammatory processes, an ethanolic extract of P. ginseng berry calyx (Pg-C-EE) was prepared, and lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages and HEK293 cells transfected with inflammation-regulatory proteins were used to test the anti-inflammatory action of Pg-C-EE. Methods: The ginsenoside contents of Pg-C-EE were analyzed by HPLC. Suppressive activity of Pg-C-EE on NO production, inflammatory gene expression, transcriptional activation, and inflammation signaling events were examined using the Griess assay, reverse transcription-polymerization chain reaction, luciferase activity reporter gene assay, and immunoblotting analysis. Results: Pg-C-EE reduced NO production and diminished mRNA expression of inflammatory genes such as cyclooxygenase-2, inducible NO synthase, and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ in a dose-dependent manner. This extract suppressed luciferase activity induced only by nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$. Interestingly, immunoblotting analysis results demonstrated that Pg-C-EE reduced the activities of protein kinase B (AKT)1 and AKT2. Conclusion: These results suggest that Pg-C-EE may have nuclear-factor-${\kappa}B$-targeted anti-inflammatory properties through suppression of AKT. The calyx of the P. ginseng berry is an underused part of the ginseng plant, and development of calyx-derived extracts may be useful for treatment of inflammatory diseases.

The ethyl acetate fraction of Bat Faeces (Ye Ming Sha: natural products used in Chinese Medicine) after fermentation (EFBF-AF) showed enhanced anti-oxidative effects in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt assays. Fermentation of the Bat Faeces by using the crude enzyme extract from Aspergillus kawachii, significantly increased the anti-inflammatory effects. Fermented Bat Faeces markedly inhibited nitric oxide production, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The EFBF-AF reduced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) via $IKK{\alpha}$ and $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ phosphorylation, and decreased the phosphorylated the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and p38 expression in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. In addition, the EFBF-AF suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, such as interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$. These results suggest that fermented Bat Faeces may suppress pro-inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells via ERK, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling pathways.

2022년 말 수도권을 침범한 북한 드론 격추 실패의 논쟁 중심에는 안티드론(Anti Drone, 대(對) 드론)이 있다. 안티드론은 허가되지 않은 공역의 드론 비행을 탐지하여 제지하는 각종 수단이다. 안티드론 기술은 현재와 같은 다양한 드론의 위법 상황에서 반드시 필요한 드론 기술의 핵심 방어체계이다. 드론 역할이 증대된 우크라이나 전쟁에서 우리는 경각심을 가져야 한다. 방어가 쉽지 않은 드론 공격이 전쟁의 승패를 가름할 수도 있다. 세계 각국의 안티드론 기술 개발 경쟁은 상승하고 있다. 새로운 안티드론 기술이 나타나면 이를 뛰어넘는 드론이 개발된다. 본 연구는 국내 드론의 방어체계를 분석하여 안티드론 현황을 제시하였다.

지구온난화의 폐해 중 하나인 해파리의 대량증식은 환경 생태계에 좋지 않은 영향을 미치고 있고, 또한 과도한 개체수는 원할한 처리가 곤란해 많은 문제점을 초래하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 해파리의 생산적이고 효율적인 개선방안으로 단순 가공식품 뿐만 아니라 해파리의 추출을 통해 산업적으로 활용가능한 기능성 화장품원료로의 응용가능성도 고려해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 보름달물 해파리 유래 추출물의 기능성 화장품 원료로서의 안전성 및 유효성을 규명하였다. 인간피부섬유아세포에서의 세포독성, 주름 개선 효과와 관련된 procollagen 발현양의 증가 및 노화로 증가되는 SA-${\beta}$-Gal 효소의 활성을 염색을 통하여 확인하였고, 항노화 화장품 신소재로서의 사업화 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Artemisia capillaris Thunb. (Compositae) is a traditional medicinal plant with various pharmacological activities. To elucidate new anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory constituents, the aerial parts of A. capillaries were investigated to afford a new compound, (6E,8E)-6-methylundeca-6,8-diene-2,5,10-trione (17) together with 19 known compounds (1 - 16, 18 - 20). The structures of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses including 1D, 2D NMR, HREIMS, and optical rotation [α]_D. The absolute configuration of compound 2 was determined to be S form for the first time. All isolates (1 - 20) were tested their inhibitory effects on interleukin 2 (IL-2) expression in T cells and NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW246.7. Among them, compounds 10, 11, 19, and 20 reduced IL-2 expression in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, compound 10 also inhibited NO production with an IC₅₀ value of 37.3 ± 0.4 μM.

Lycii Fructus (LF) has been reported to possess various biological activities. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of LF extract in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and rat peritoneal mast cells(RPMC). LF extract inhibited NO production and the expressions of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA and enzyme protein, determined by Griess reactions, RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively, in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells. LF extract significantly inhibited histamine release in compound48/80 stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells compared with the compound48/80 only treated cells. It is suggested that the LF extract can improve the inflammation status that involves the histamine release.

밀리타리스 동충하초 추출물은 체내 염증반응을 유도하는 peroxinitrite를 밀리타리스 동충하초 추출물 $128{\mu}g/ml$ 처리로 peroxinitrite를 $60.77{\pm}1.67%$ 저해시켜 뛰어난 저해능을 가지는 것으로 free radical의 생성을 억제하며, Raw 264.7 세포에 LPS $1{\mu}g/ml$을 처리하여 NO 생성이 $3.75{\pm}0.20{\mu}M$까지 증가하였으나 밀리타리스 동충하초 추출물 $32{\mu}g/ml$ 처리군에서 $3.21{\pm}0.10{\mu}M$, $64{\mu}g/ml$ 처리군에서 $3.07{\pm}0.13{\mu}M$로 농도 의존적, 유의적으로 감소 시켰다. 또한, 이로 인해 발현되는 염증 유전자 COX-2의 발현을 유의적으로 저해 한 것을 Western blot으로 확인 하였다. 그러므로, 밀리타리스 동충하초 추출물은 항염증소재로의 가능성이 충분하다고 사료된다.
