최근 뷰티산업 분야의 네일 아트 비중이 높아지면서 젤 네일 기술과 제품이 큰 발전을 보이고 있다. 그러나 젤 네일에 대한 관심이 높은 만큼 시술로 인한 네일 손상 발생률도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 네일 손상을 개선하고자 20~30대 여성 19명을 대상으로 젤 폴리쉬 시술 후 무 처치 실험 A군(n=6), 식이 복합 영양제를 섭취하는 실험 B군(n=6), 식이 복합 영양제와 네일 복합 영양제를 동시 적용하는 실험 C군(n=7)으로 나누어 네일의 표면 변화, 두께 변화, 손상도 분석 및 만족도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 식이 복합 영양제와 네일 복합 영양제를 동시 적용한 실험 C군의 모든 결과가 우수하였으며, 전자주사현미경을 사용하여 측정한 표면의 형태학적 변화는 실험 B군과 확연한 차이를 보였고, 두께 변화와 만족도는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 식이 복합 영양제의 섭취는 손상 네일의 두께와 표면 개선에 도움이 되며, 네일 복합 영양제를 동시에 사용할 경우 보다 높은 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Butylated hrdroxyanisole(BHA), a widely used food additive phenolic antioxidant, is known to inhibit cancer formations inducible with a wide variety of chemical carcinogens including aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$. Thus, in the present study morphological characteristics underlying the hepatoprotective effects of BHA against $AFB_1$ inducible ultrastructural changes of hepatocytes have been examined. The obtained results are as follows : 1 . Livers obtained from rats treated with $AFB_1$ in vivo have been examined with transmission electron microscope. Among the many hepatocellular structural aberrations induced by $AFB_1$ treatment, the nuclear chromatins were found to be distributed irregularly('cap formation') and the nuclear membrane was found to be partially segregated. Furthermore, there were many lipid droplets, hyperplasia of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, dialated rough endoplasmic reticulum and, lysosomes arrested at various stages of its development. 2. Also, when $AFB_1$ was given in vitro to hepatocytes which have been isolated from untreated normal rats and examined under scanning electron microscope, there were much 'blobbing' phenomena resulting from cytoskeletal disturbances. 3. However, in the liver obtained from rats pretreated with BHA and then give the $AFB_1$, the observed morphological aberrations were in much reduced extent. Similarly, the BHA-hepatocytes had much decreased severity in the $AFB_1$ inducible blob formations.

The Korea chinese chives are a major edible vegetable and they are traditionally been used as a folk medicine. However recently studies on the Allium tuberosum are mainly on the morphological property and the chemical constituent. There are no reports concerning hematological changes in dogs administrated ethyl acetate extracts of Korea chinese chive. This experiment was conducted to investigate the hematological changes in dogs administrated ethyl acetate extracts of the Korea chinese chives($5m{\ell}/mg$) for 6 days. During administration blood samples were collected at 3h, 6h, 12h and then on daily basis until day 6. Blood samples were analyzed red blood cell(RBC), packed cell volume(PCV), hemoglobin concentration(Hb), mean corpuscular volume(MCV), mean corpuscularl hemoglobin concentration(MCHC), reduced glutathion(GSH), and met-hemoglobin concentration. The RBC count was significantly(p<0.01, p<0.05) decreased during experimental periods. Packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration were not showed significantly difference during experimental periods. The MCV was significantly(p<0.01, p<0.05) increased from 3 hours after administration to day 4. The MCHC was significantly(p<0.05)decreased on day 6. GSH concentration was not showed significant difference during experimental periods and the met-hemoglobin concentration was significantly(p<0.05) increased on day 3.

A new biosurfactant producer was isolated from palm-oil-contaminated soil and later identified through morphology and DNA sequencing as the yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis. Biosurfactant production was catalyzed by vegetable oil, supplemented with a basal medium. The culture conditions that provided the biosurfactant with the highest surface activity were found to be 5% palm oil with 0.08% $NH_4NO_3$, at a pH of 5.3, with shaking at 200 rpm, and a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ for a 14-day period of incubation. The biosurfactant was purified, in accordance with surfactant properties, by solvent fractionation using silica gel column chromatography. The chemical structure of the strongest surface-active compound was elucidated through the use of NMR and mass spectroscopy, and noted to be monoolein, which then went on to demonstrate antiproliferative activity against cervical cancer (HeLa) and leukemia (U937) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, no cytotoxicity was observed with normal cells even when high concentrations were used. Cell and DNA morphological changes, in both cancer cell lines, were observed to be cell shrinkage, membrane blebbling, and DNA fragmentation.

To develop a new form of controlled release dosage for administering for indomethacin (IND), two formulations of IND-loaded nanoparticles were designed based on polysaccharide (guar) derivatives. Nanoparticles prepared by the dialysis method were characterized with respect to morphology, size distribution, drug content, and in vitro drug release. Morphological studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that guar acetate (GA) nanoparticles were spherical in shape and had a smooth surface. The particle size distributions of formulation I (40mg of GA) and formulation II (80mg of GA) were shown to be $250.78\pm185.13nm$ and $718\pm145.90nm$ in distilled water ($20$^{\circ}C$), respectively. The drug loading efficiencies of nanoparticles were approximately 26% and 31% for formulations I and II, respectively. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that the IND was perfectly distributed within GA nanoparticles. We also found, from the X-ray diffractometry analysis, that a decrease in the degree of crystallinity of the drug occurred in the nanoparticles. No changes between the original IND and the released IND from GA nanoparticles were detected by FT-IR. Using guar acetate, it is possible to design nanoparticles which allow the controlled release of IND over an extended period of time.

Previously, we found that KTH-13 isolated from the butanol fraction of Cordyceps bassiana (Cb-BF) displayed anti-cancer activity. To improve its antiproliferative activity and production yield, we employed a total synthetic approach and derivatized KTH-13 to obtain chemical analogs. In this study, one KTH-13 derivative, 4-(tert-butyl)-2,6-bis(1-phenylethyl)phenol (KTH-13-t-Bu), was selected to test its anti-cancer activity. KTH-13-t-Bu diminished the proliferation of C6 glioma, MDA-MB-231, LoVo, and HCT-15 cells. KTH-13-t-Bu induced morphological changes in C6 glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner. KTH-13-t-Bu also increased the level of early apoptotic cells stained with annexin V-FITC. Furthermore, KTH-13-t-Bu increased the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and -9. In contrast, KTH-13-t-Bu upregulated the levels of pro- and cleaved forms of caspase-3, -8, and -9 and Bcl- 2. Phospho-STAT3, phospho-Src, and phospho-AKT levels were also diminished by KTH13-t-Bu treatment. Therefore, these results strongly suggest that KTH-13-t-Bu can be considered a novel anti-cancer drug displaying pro-apoptotic activity.

The bacterial cellulose(BC) has many unique properties that are potentially and commercially beneficial. In order to enhance inherently inferior physical property of chemithermomechanical pulp(CTMP) sheet, chemical pulp has been used widely. Bacterial cellulose also has an enhanced sheet strength because of its unique physical and morphological features. This study was carried out to inverstigate the effect of BC addition on physical properties of CTMP sheets. The effect of BC addition on its optical properties was also discussed. The apparent density, internal bond strength, Young's modulus, tensile strength and folding endurance of CTMP sheet are increasing with increase of BC contents. This strength increase would be attributed to the increase of relative bonding sites among pulp fibers by addition of BC which has microfibrillar structure with very high specific surface areas. There were not so significant changes in opacity of CTMP sheet upto 20% addition level of BC, while over 40% addition, the opacity gradually decreased and levelled off. Porosity is decreased with addition of BC. This decrease would be attributed to densification of sheet by fine and filamentous structure of BC fibers.

Titanium hydride potassium perchlorate (THPP)는 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 착화제로 추진 시스템에서 중요한 역할을 수행해오고 있지만, '노화'라는 현상으로 인하여 THPP의 요구 성능 변화, 심지어는 system failure가 초래될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 상대습도 조건에서 노화된 THPP의 열역학적 특성 및 성능, 점화 특성 변화를 상세한 열분석과 점화 실험을 통해 밝혔다. 그리고 형태학적 분석과 조성 변화를 통해 노화에 따른 THPP의 물리·화학적인 변화 또한 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 열노화는 산화제 분해로 인하여 활성화 에너지 감소/반응성 증가로 이어지고 수분노화는 연료 산화로 인하여 활성화 에너지 증가/반응성 감소와 같은 경로를 따름을 최종적으로 확인해볼 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 농약에서 제브라피쉬를 이용한 발생독성시험 가능성을 탐색하고자 사용양이 많은 농약 중 어독성이 보고된 제초제 alachlor 및 butachlor와 어독성이 높고 꿀벌위해성 등이 보고된 살충제 fipronil을 시험물질로 선정하였고, 농도와 노출시기를 달리하여 제브라피쉬 배아에 노출시켜 발생에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 그 결과, alachlor에 의한 제브라피쉬 배아의 부화율 및 이상율은 24-48 hpf 군이 높았고, $40{\mu}M$ 이상 농도에 노출된 모든 군의 치어에서 꼬리휨, 부종 및 활동성 저하의 증상이 관찰되었다. Butachlor의 경우 24-48 hpf 군의 부화율과 이상율이 다른 시기에 노출된 군에 비해 높았고, $40{\mu}M$ 이상 농도에서 부화전 치사율이 높았으며, 48 hpf 군 제브라피쉬 배아는 부화 전 모두 치사되었다. 생존한 모든 치어에서 꼬리휨, 부종 등 증상이 관찰되었다. Fipronil에 의한 제브라피쉬 배아의 부화율 및 생존율은 다른 농약에 비해 높았으나 생존한 대부분의 치어에서 꼬리휨 증상이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 농약 3종을 농도와 시기를 달리하여 제브라피쉬 배아의 발생에 미치는 영향을 측정한 결과, 모든 농약이 발생에 미치는 영향은 농도에 비례하였고, 형태이상 및 이상증상은 농도 뿐 아니라, 노출시기에 따라 다르게 나타났다.

The diffusional behavior of many non-solvents in glassy or semicrystalline polymers cannot be adequately described by a concentration-dependent form of Fick's law, especially when mass transfer is coupled with structural changes. Many mathematical models have been devised to interprete non-Fickian diffusion dominated by relaxation kinetics. In formulation of non-Fickian diffusion mathematics, therefore, the most important factor to consider is how relaxation effects can influence the governing constitutive equation and boundary conditions. That is, relaxation parameters can be accommodated by variable boundary conditions or a modified continuity equation, or both, depending on specific systems and conditions (Frish, 1980). Accoring to Astarita and Nicolais (1983), the model equations can be broadly categorized as continuous or discontinuous. Continuous model equations encompass phenomena where the structural change takes place gradually over the whole volume of the polymer sample (Crank, 1953; Long and Richman, 1961; Berens and Hopfenberg, 1978). On the other hand, discontinuous model equations deal with the phenomena where the morphological change appears to be abrupt (Li, 1984). Four mathematical models with different relaxation parameters were applied to fit the anomalous sorption data observed in fluoropolymers (PVDF, ECTFE). The fitted result for PVDF-benzene sorption data is shown in Fig. 1.
