본 논문에서는 LS-DYNA를 활용한 원자력발전소 설치 로드블록 차량 시뮬레이션 방법을 소개한다. 차량 강습 위협이 원자력 발전소의 설계기준위협으로 포함된 이후로 차량 강습을 대비하기 위한 차량 방벽(Anti-ram barrier)의 성능 평가 소요가 커지고 있다. 차량 방벽은 일반적으로 충돌 실험을 통하여 성능을 인증 받는다. 하지만 국내에서는 차량 방벽에 대한 성능 시험 시설이 마련되어 있지 않아, 시뮬레이션을 통한 차량 방벽 성능 검증이 필요하다. LS-DYNA는 충돌 시뮬레이션에 특화되어 있으며, NCAC를 비롯한 여러 기관에서 충돌 시험과의 타당성 검증을 완료한 수치 모델을 배포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 로드블록의 가장 핵심적인 차량 차단막 모듈의 FE 모델을 구축하여 충돌 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 계산된 결과는 NCHRP 179의 차량 안전 시설 충돌 시뮬레이션 검증 기준을 준용하여 검증하였다. 그 결과 모래시계 에너지(hourglass energy)가 총 에너지의 5%를 넘지 않고 내부 에너지의 10%를 넘지 않는 것을 확인하였으며, added mass가 1% 미만으로 기준인 10%를 넘지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 FE 모델을 활용하여 물리적 방벽의 성능을 평가하여 데이터 베이스를 구축할 예정이다.

Objective The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of Sabaek-san extract on skin damage recovery and inflammation relief in atopic dermatitis-induced mice through Endocannabinoid system (ECS) control. Methods In this study, we used 6-week-old NC/Nga mice were divided into 4 group: control group (Ctrl), lipid barrier elimination group (LBEG), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) treated group after lipid barrier elimination (PEAG), and Sabaek-san extract treatment group after lipid barrier elimination (SBSG). Each group was assigned 10 animals. After drug administration of three weeks duration following lipid barrier elimination, cannabinoid receptor (CB) 1, CB2, CD (Cluster of Differentiation) 68, phosphorylated inhibitor kappa B (p-IκB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Fc ε receptor, substance P and serotonin were observed to confirm the regulation of the ECS, macrophage activity and mast cell activity. Results We found that 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OXdG) positive reaction was significantly lower in the SBST group than in LBET and PEAT groups. Both CB1 and CB2 showed higher positive reactions in the SBST group than in the LBET and PEAT. CD68, p-IκB, iNOS, Fc ε receptor, Substance P and serotonin showed lower positive reaction in the SBST compared to the LBET and PEAT. Conclusion It was confirmed that the Sabaek-san extract can reduce the inflammation of atopic dermatitis by restoring the structural damage of the skin lipid barrier through ECS activity.

이 논문의 목적은 울릉도 자생식물인 돌외식물(GP: Gynostemma pentaphyllum)을 이용하여 지속가능한 화장품 원료 개발을 위해 피부장벽개선 및 아토피피부염 개선 효능을 평가하고 검증하는 데 있다. 자연을 훼손하지 않으며 지속가능한 항노화 소재개발을 위하여 울릉도 자생식물인 돌외에서 식물세포를 유도하여 대량배양 조건을 확립, 대량배양된 식물세포로부터 다양한 용매로 추출 후, HPLC 분석을 통하여 adenosine, guanosine 및 tyrosine, phenylalanine 변화를 확인하였다. 또한, 돌외 식물세포의 피부장벽개선효능 및 항가려움증 효능평가를 위해 Th2 사이토카인을 이용한 in vitro 염증 모델에서 피부장벽관련 인자인 FLG, Zo-1의 유전자 발현에 유의미한 변화가 확인이 되지 않았지만 항가려움증 관련 인자인 TSLP, IL-33 의 유전자 발현에 유의미한 감소 변화를 확인하였다. 따라서 돌외 식물세포 추출물이 가려움증을 개선시키는 데 유의미한 효능이 있을 것으로 확인되며, 나아가 돌외 식물세포 추출물이 지속가능한 자연친화적 활성 소재로써, 아토피피부염 개선을 위한 화장품에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

This study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) extract for atopic dermatitis through maintaining skin barrier and regulating Th2 cell differentiation. We divided NC/Nga mice into 3 groups as follows; atopy-like dermatitis induced group with CR treatment (CT, n=10), no treatment group(Ctrl), atopy-like dermatitis elicited group(AE). Atopy-like dermatitis was induced to NC/Nga mice by sensitizing with dermatophagoides farinae(DfE) on 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13th week. After inducing atopic dermatitis, CR extract was administered 20 mg/kg daily for the experimental duration to the CT group. We measured the integrity of lipid layers in the epidermis and Th2 differentiation through immunohistochemical staining against filaggrin, loricrin, IL-4, and IL-13. We also measured the distribution of subcutaneous collagen fibers by the Masson's trichrome staining. Administration of CR significantly inhibited the reduction of lipid layers in the skin that caused atopy. The expression of IL-4, IL-13, each of which is a cytokine secreted by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, was markedly suppressed in the CT group as compared with AE group (p<0.05). CR treatment also decreased the expression of iNOS, $p-I{\kappa}B$. Atopic dermatitis induced dermatological damage to skin, such as hyperplasia of epithelium, and capillary proliferation was significantly reduced by CR administration. CR effectively inhibited the thinning of the skin barrier and inflammatory responses in atopic dermatitis-induced mice. In particular, it showed anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the expression of IL-4 and IL-13, Th2 cell cytokines, which play a crucial role in development of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, CR can be a good candidate to ameliorate and treat atopic dermatitis.

Objectives Hataedock is an orally administered herbal extract treatment for newborn babies that dispels toxic heat and meconium gathered by the fetus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Hataedock alleviates inflammatory skin damage in AD (Atopic Dermatitis)-induced NC/Nga mice through regulating and maintaining the skin barrier and anti-inflammation effects.Methods We established an AD model in three-week-old NC/Nga mice through the repeated application of DNFB (dinitrochlorobenzene) on days 28, 35, and 42 after Hataedock treatment was orally administered. We identified changes in the skin barrier and anti-inflammation effects through the histological and immunohistochemical changes of TNF- α, NF-κB p65, iNOS, COX-2, and apoptotic bodies.Results Skin damage and angiogenesis were mitigated in the HT (Hataedock) group. Damage to the intercellular space of the stratum corneum as well as hyperplasia, edema, the infiltration of lymphocytes, and the increase of capillaries decreased in the HT group. Our results suggest that Hataedock treatment significantly down-regulated levels of TNF- α by 38% (p<0.001) and of NF-κB p65 by 70% (p<0.001). But Hataedock up-regulated apoptosis by 183% in dermatitis-induced skin.Conclusions These results suggest that Hataedock alleviates AD through diminishing the various inflammatory cytokines in skin lesions that are involved in the initial steps of AD development. It might have potential applications for the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Background: Adiponectin, an adipokine secreted from adipocytes, affects energy metabolism and also shows anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have reported that adiponectin plays a role in regulating skin inflammation. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of adiponectin on the expression of filaggrin (FLG) in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Methods: NHEKs were serum-starved for 6h before being treated with adiponectin. Afterward, cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. We also treated with calcium, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-13 to provide positive and negative comparative controls, respectively. Gene mRNA expression was quantified using real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and protein expression was evaluated using Western blot. To evaluate the relationship among mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), activator protein 1 (AP-1), and FLG, we also treated cells with inhibitors for MAPKs JNK, p38, and ERK1/2. Results: FLG and FLG-2 mRNA expression in NHEKs significantly increased after treatment with $10{\mu}g/ml$ adiponectin. Adiponectin also restored FLG and FLG-2 mRNA expression that was otherwise inhibited by treatment with IL-4 and IL-13. Adiponectin induced FLG expression via AP-1 and MAPK signaling. Conclusion: Adiponectin positively regulated the expression of FLG and could be useful as a therapeutic agent to control diseases related to disrupted skin barrier function.
