본 연구는 참취 에탄올 추출물과 용매분획물의 항산화 활성과 총 폴리페놀 함량 및 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하고, 생리활성과 항산화 성분 간의 상관관계를 비교 분석하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 70% 에탄올 추출물 99.6 mg GAE eq/g으로 나타났으며, ethyl acetate 분획물 141.9 mg GAE eq/g으로 다른 분획물보다 높은 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 또한 총 플라보노이드 함량도 ethyl acetate 분획물에서 105.6 mg QUE eq/g으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 ABTS 라디칼 소거능의 경우 ethyl acetate 분획물 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 97.1% 및 98.7%를 보여 대조군인 ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 및 BHT와 유사한 소거능을 나타내었다(p<0.05). SOD 유사활성은 ethyl acetate 분획물 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 42.8%의 활성을 나타내어 DPPH, ABTS 라디칼 소거능보다 비교적 낮은 활성을 나타내었다(p<0.05). FRAP에 의한 환원력 측정 결과에서도 ethyl acetate 분획물에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 그러나 $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 활성 측정은 chloroform 분획물 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 81.8%로 높게 나타났으며, 오히려 ethyl acetate 분획물에서는 6.2%로 가장 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과 참취 70% 에탄올 추출물과 용매 분획물 중 ethyl acetate 분획물이 다량의 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드를 함유하고 있으며, 항산화 효과가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 참취는 천연 항산화 소재 및 기능성식품으로의 활용 가능한 약용 식물자원인 것으로 판단된다.

Phenolic compounds such as isoflavones contribute to the antioxidant properties of soybean. This study investigated differences in the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of ten soybean cultivars grown in two different locations in Korea. We observed a wide range of variation in total isoflavone and phenolic content by location and cultivar. The total isoflavone content of cultivars grown at Pyeongchang (sub-highland) was significantly higher than that in cultivars grown at Gangneung (lowland). In contrast, the total phenolic content of cultivars grown at Gangneung was greater than that of cultivars grown at Pyeongchang. The radical scavenging activity of DPPH was similar to that of the total phenolic content rather than that of the total isoflavone content. These results suggest that antioxidant activity of soybean was associated with phenolic compounds rather than isoflavones. To identify the individual antioxidant components, we used an on-line HPLC-$ABTS^+$-based assay system, ESI/MS, and NMR. The results showed that the strongest antioxidant activity was linked to epicatechin.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the evaluation of gastrointestinal parasympathetic nerve activity by comparing between HRV and bowel sound parameters in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods : 62 patients (male 22, female 40) were enrolled. HRV was measured in all patients. and TP (total power), LF (low frequency density: 0.04$\sim$0.15Hz), HF (high frequency density: 0.15$\sim$0.4Hz). and LF/HF ratio were analyzed. HF band is a reflection of parasympathetic activity. and the LF-to-HF ratio is considered a marker of sympathovagal balance. Bowel sounds were recorded at the day after, and postprandial %BS was used to indicate the gastric vagal activity after eating. HRV and bowel sound parameters were compared. and correlation between them was analyzed. Results : There was no difference in LF/HF ratio between patient group and healthy group of other report. According to values of %BS, each patient was classified into a normal (>6 %BS) or hypoactivity (<6 %BS) of gastric vagus nerve group. HF component of the hypoactivity group was not significantly higher than that of the normal group. There was no correlation between HRV and bowel sound parameters. Conclusions : Because no correlation was found between HRV and bowel sound parameters in patients with functional dyspepsia, we concluded that it is not proper to evaluate gastric vagus nerve activity by HRV measurement.

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the effect of trunk postural stability maintained wearing a spiral elastic band on the upper extremity function of patients with stroke who undertook a functional activity program and to provide fundamental data useful for the application of therapeutic interventions in the clinical environment of occupational therapy. Methods : The research subjects included 16 patients with stroke who were evenly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The eight-week intervention consisted of a functional activity program aimed at improving the function of the affected-side upper extremity. The experimental group performed the functional activity program while maintaining a stable trunk posture by wearing a spiral elastic band. The control group followed the program without wearing the band. Upper extremity function was assessed before and after the intervention using a manual function test (MFT) and a motor activity log (MAL), and the effectiveness on the upper extremity function of the affected side was confirmed. Results : First, in the within-group comparison of the upper extremity function scores before and after the intervention, the experimental group showed a statistically significant difference in the MFT and MAL assessment(p<.05). The control group showed a statistically significant difference in the MAL assessment(p<.05). Second, in the between-group comparison of the change in scores after the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in all assessments(p<.05). Conclusion : This study confirmed the positive effect on upper extremity function of trunk stabilization posture using a spiral elastic band. The results could be useful when implementing a task-oriented training program in the clinical environment of occupational therapy in the future, as application of the training while maintaining trunk postural stability by wearing a spiral elastic band could be more effective for improving the upper extremity function of patients with stroke.

The aim of this study was to provide a new assessment of rotator cuff muscle activity. Eight male subjects (24.7 ± 3.2 years old,171.2 ± 9.8 cm tall, and weighing 63.8 ± 11.9 kg) performed the study exercises. The subjects performed 10 sets of the exercise while fixing the elbow at 90 degrees flexure and lying supine on a bed. One exercise set consisted of the subject performing external shoulder rotation 50 times using training equipment. Two imaging protocols were employed: (a) true fast imaging with steady precession (TrueFISP) at an acquisition time of 12 seconds and (b) multi-shot spin-echo echo-planar imaging (MSSE-EPI) at an acquisition time of 30 seconds for one echo. The main method of assessing rotator cuff muscle activity was functional T2 mapping using ultrafast imaging (fast-acquired muscle functional MRI [fast-mfMRI]). Fast-mfMRI enabled real-time imaging for the identification and evaluation of the degree of muscle activity induced by the exercise. Regions of interest were set at several places in the musculus subscapularis (sub), musculus supraspinatus (sup), musculus teres minor (ter), and deltoid muscle (del). We used the MR signal of the images and transverse relaxation time (T2) for comparison. Most of the TrueFISP signal was not changed by exercise and there was no significant difference from the resting values. Only the T2 in the musculus teres minor was increased after one set and the change were seen on the T2 images. Additionally, except for those after one and two sets, the changes in T2 were significant compared to those at rest (P < 0.01). We also demonstrated identify and visualize the extent to which muscles involved in muscle activity by exercise. In addition, we showed that muscle activity in a region such as a shoulder, which is susceptible to B0 inhomogeneity, could be easily detected using this technique.

Jellyfish is an emerging aquaculture species, farmed for Oriental cuisines and nutraceutical ingredients. This study aimed to examine antioxidative and antimicrobial potentials of various fractions of the jellyfish, Acromitus hardenbergi. The bell and oral arms of the jellyfish were sequentially extracted with petroleum ether (PE), dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform (CHCl₃), methanol (MeOH), and water (H₂O) to extract its bioactive in an increasing polarity gradient. Test fractions were assayed for antiradical activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry, β-carotene-linoleate model and Folin-Ciocalteu assay; and antimicrobial activity against 2 Gram-negative bacteria, 4 Gram-positive bacteria and 2 fungal species using the disc diffusion assay. All fractions were also subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis to identify types of functional groups present. It was found that the hydrophilic extracts (H₂O fractions) possessed the most effective radical scavenging activity (p < 0.05) while the lipophilic extracts (PE fractions) the most active antimicrobial activity, especially against Gram-positive bacteria (p < 0.05). Total oxidation substrates content was found to be highest in the PE fractions of jellyfish bell and oral arms (p < 0.05). FTIR data showed that the H₂O and MeOH fractions contains similar functional groups including -OH, -C=O, -N-H and -S=O groups, while the PE, DCM, and CHCl₃ fractions, the -CH₃, -COOH groups. This study showed that A. hardenbergi contains antioxidants and antimicrobials, thereby supporting the traditional claim of the jellyfish as an anti-aging and health-promoting functional food. Bioassay-guided fractionation approach serves as a critical milestone for the strategic screening, purification, and elucidation of therapeutically significant actives from jellyfish.

본 연구에서 기존의 생리활성이 알려진 차가 버섯(Inonatus obliquus), 모링가(Moringa oleifera), 그라비올라(Anona muricata), 단풍마(Dioscorea quinquelaba), 가시오가피(Acanhopanax senticosus), 음양곽(Epimedii herba), 인진쑥(Artemisia capillaris), 그리고 오디(Morus alba) 추출물과 원두커피를 혼합하여 기능성 음료를 제조하였으며, 각각의 음료를 C1에서 C7으로 명명하였다. 각 음료의 항균, 항곰팡이, 항산화 활성 및 총 폴리페놀 함량을 조사하였다. 항균 및 항곰팡이에 대한 활성은 Gram positive bacteria인 Staphylococcus aureus에 대하여 C4, C5, C6 및 C7이 활성을 나타내었고, 특히 C7인 경우 항생제 내성균주인 MRSA에 대하여 강한 활성을 나타내었다. Gram negative bacteria에 대한 결과는 E. coli D31에 대하여 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 C1에서 C7 모든 음료가 활성을 나타내었고, 반면에 곰팡이인 Candida albicans에 대하여는 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 C6의 경우가 7.37 mg/g으로 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었고, C5의 경우는 3.78 mg/g으로 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. DPPH로 항산화 능력을 측정한 결과, C1에서 C7 모두 강한 활성을 나타내었고, 특히 C7인 경우 0.5 mg/ml의 농도에서 88%라는 높은 free radical 소거능력을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 각 기능성 음료의 생리활성의 기초자료를 제공하고 다양한 기능성 건강음료뿐 만 아니라 고부가가치 기능성 제품을 창출 할 수 있는 근거를 마련한 것으로 생각된다.

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum species) has long been an excellent functional food. Besides, buckwheat sprouts contain various functional substances. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activity of buckwheat sprouts in the context of cultivars harvested after different cultivation periods (0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 15 days after planting). Buckwheat sprouts were cultivated at 25℃ for up to 15 days and then extracted with ethanol. Antioxidant components were then extracted from sprouts and leaves using a freeze dryer. The total polyphenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were then analyzed. The total polyphenol content increased from 32.26 mg GA eq/100 g for raw buckwheat to 114.75 mg GA eq/100 g after 7 days of cultivation. Also, the flavonoid content increased from 20.61 mg catechin eq/100 g (0 days) to 56.54 mg/g after 9 days of cultivation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity (concentration of extract at 0.25 mg/mL) increased from 7.89% at day 0 to 53.48% after 9 days of cultivation. Additionally, the ABTS radical scavenging activity increased from 10.26% at day 0 to 32.89% after 7 days of cultivation; of note, the activity decreased afterward. These results suggest that the best buckwheat sprouts with higher biological activities are those cultivated for 7-9 days. For a complete understanding of the potential of buckwheat sprouts as functional foods, we plan to further analyze their antioxidant activity in the future.
