감마-오리자놀(γ-oryzanol)은 phytochemical의 한 종류로 항산화, 항염증, 항암, 항당뇨, 콜레스테롤 감소 등의 효능이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 현미를 백미로 도정할 때 부산물로 발생하는 미강으로부터 생리활성물질 중의 하나인 γ-oryzanol 함량이 높은 추출조건에서의 분말을 제조하고, 이를 쌀국수에 첨가하여 항산화성이 개선된 국수를 제조하고자 하였다. 미강을 에탄올 농도 0, 20, 40, 80%의 에탄올로 추출한 결과 80% 에탄올로 추출한 추출분말에서 γ-oryzanol 함량이 가장 높았으며, DPPH 소거능과 ABTS 소거능이 가장 높았다. 미강추출분말의 γ-oryzanol의 함량을 높이기 위하여 Saccharomyces cerevisiae로 미강을 고상발효시킨 후 80% 에탄올로 추출하여 동결건조시킨 분말의 γ-oryzanol의 함량은 발효시키지 않은 미강을 추출분말보다 약 2.18배 증가하였으며, DPPH 소거능 및 ABTS 소거능, 단백질분해효능이 증가하였다. 오리자놀 함량이 높은 미강추출 물을 쌀가루에 첨가하여 쌀국수를 제조한 결과 쌀국수의 경도, 탄력성, 씸힘성, 점착성 등이 증가하였으며, 쌀국수의 γ-oryzanol 함량, DPPH 소거능, ABTS 소거능 등이 증가하여 항산화 활성이 개선되었음을 확인하였다.
The aim of this study was to produce a fermented rice bran extract with enhanced ferulic acid γ-oryzanol contents and high antioxidant activities. The ferulic acid content in the freeze-dried extract of rice bran treated with plantase PT enzyme, increased by 4.1-fold compared to that of untreated sample, the DPPH radical scavenging activity also increased by 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. The γ-oryzanol content of the dried powder prepared by inoculating Apergillus oryzae BOT1869 onto steamed rice bran for solid-state fermentation followed by extraction with 80% ethanol, increased 2.3-fold compared to that in an 80% ethanol extract powder of raw materials. The ABTS scavenging activity also increased 1.5-fold. When the ferulic acid content-enhanced extract and the γ-oryzanol content-enhanced extract of rice bran were mixed and subjected to liquid fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus pentosus BOT406 and then freeze-dried, the ferulic acid content of the extract powder increased about 3.0 times compared to that of original extract powder. In addition, its γ-oryzanol content increased about 1.5 times, the DPPH radical scavenging activity increased 1.4 times, and the ABTS radical scavenging activity increased 1.6 times.
Sarcoma is rare malignant tumors that develop from mesenchymal cells. Metastasis to the oral cavity is a rare occurrence. Undifferentiated Pleomorphic sarcoma(UPS), formerly known as Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH), is rare spindle cell neoplasm that can have poorly prognosis with metastasis and local recurrence. This report describes a case of a 77-year-old man who was diagnosed with Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the chest wall and underwent adjuvant radiation therapy after surgical resection. Although there was success of wide excision, two years later, he presented with metastasis to the several organs including tongue. We retrospectively analyzed results of Next Generation Sequencing(NGS), and we figured out RB1 gene mutation. Until now targeted therapy of RB1 gene mutation is not established. Surgeon needs to consider metastatic tumors through identifying patients’ chief complaints and past medical & dental history. We need to research through NGS, and take a step closer to find targeted therapy for tumors.
A sintering process for copper based films using a rapid thermal process with infrared lamps is proposed to improve the electrical properties. Compared with films produced by conventional thermal sintering, the microstructure of the copper based films contained fewer internal and interfacial pores and larger grains after the rapid thermal process. This high-density microstructure is due to the high heating rate, which causes the abrupt decomposition of the organic shell at higher temperatures than is the case for the low heating rate; the high heating rate also induces densification of the copper based films. In order to confirm the effect of the rapid thermal process on copper nanoink, copper based films were prepared under varying of conditions such as the sintering temperature, time, and heating rate. As a result, the resistivity of the copper based films showed no significant changes at high temperature (300 oC) according to the sintering conditions. On the other hand, at low temperatures, the resistivity of the copper based films depended on the heating rate of the rapid thermal process.
