This study describes the effects of polyurethane/loess powder (PU/LP) nanofiber thin films composite produced from electrospun for absorption volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from air. Environmental issue has become a focus with improving people's living quality. The VOCs are one of the factors that affect the environmental safety. So, in order to improve the environment and safety for people, many air cleaning techniques have been investigated. One of the methods is nanofiber filtration technology. In this study, the PU nanofiber thin film has been studied that it has the adsorption of VOCs capacity, and LP nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as an additive to load into PU nanofiber thin film by electrospinning. For studying PU/LP nanofiber thin films's absorption of VOCs capacity, 4 samples (0, 10, 30, and 50 wt% LP with respect to PU) were manufactured, respectively. The results show that PU composite mats containing 30 wt% LP NPs has the highest VOCs absorption capacity, and the adsorption capacity for toluene was the highest compared to benzene and chloroform.

비피도박테리아 증식인자인 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoica cid 생산 유산균주 LP2가 선행연구에서 자연치즈로부터 분리되었다. LP2 균주는16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석에 의한 균주동정에서 Lactobacillus plantarum(99% 일치율)과 가장 높은 상동성을 나타내어 Lactobacillus plantarum LP2 균주로 명명하였다. LP2 균주의 배양 상등액은 Helicobacter pylori KCTC 12083 균주에 대하여 항균활성을 나타내었으며 이는 생산된 DHNA에 기인하는 것으로 추측되었다.

최근, 구조물의 건설에서 경제적으로 개선된 구조시스템을 개발하는데 많은 역량이 집중되고 있다. 이에 따라, 구조물을 단순화시키고 시공기간을 단축시키고자 고성능강의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 구조물에 가해지는 단면적을 효과적으로 분배시키고, 자중감소와 용접개소를 줄일 수 있는 이점 등으로 인하여, 구조요소로서 LP강판에 대한 관심이 늘고 있다. 이러한 LP강판은 유럽에서 개발되어, 한국에서도 강구조물에 급속도로 사용이 증가되고 있으나, 이에 대한 구조적인 적용검토에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석의 고체요소을 이용하여 여러 단면형상에 대한 단면력과 처짐을 검토하여, 국내 생산 가능한 LP강판 제품에 대한 작업성, 효율성 및 경제성을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 L. monooytogenes에 대한 LP system의 항균효과를 측정하기 위하여 수행되었다 초기 접종수준(10², 10⁴, 10^(7) CFU/ml), LP의 농도는(10, 20, 30 ppm), 그리고 저장온도(5, 10, 15℃), 배지종류(TSB-YE, UHT milk)에 따라 L. monocytogenes에 대한 항균효과를 측정 비교한 결과 초기접종수준을 10²cfu/ml로 하였을 때와 LP농도는 10 ppm 및 5℃로 배양에서 항균력이 높게 나타났다. UHT milk를 이용한 LP system의 항균효과는 Tryptic soy agar를 이용한 시험결과와 비슷하게 나타났다.

본 연구 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 LP system(lactoperoxidae/thiocyanate/hydrogen peroxide)의 항균효과를 측정하기 위해 수행되었다. 초기 접종수준(10^2, 10^4, 10^7 cfu/ml), LP의 농도(10 ppm, 20 ppm, 30 ppm), 배지종류 (TSB, UHT milk, raw milk), 배양온도(5℃, 10℃, 15℃) 등에 따라 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 항균효과를 측정, 비교한 결과, 초기 접종수준을 10^2/ml으로 하였을 때와 LP의 농도를 10 ppm 및 5℃ 배양에서 항균력이 가장 높게 나타났다.

In this study, β-1,3/1,6-glucan, lactic acid bacteria, and β-1,3/1,6-glucan+lactic acid bacteria were tested for 10 weeks using an immunodeficient animal model infected with LP-BM5 murine AIDS virus On the immune activity. Cytokines production, plasma immunoglobulin concentration, T cell and B cell proliferation were measured. As a result, the T cell proliferative capacity which was weakened by immunization with LP-BM5 murine AIDS virus increased significantly T cell proliferative capacity compared with the red ginseng control group. B cell proliferative capacity was significantly higher than the infected control group. Increased B cell proliferation was reduced. In the cytokine production, IL-2, IL-12 and IL-15 in the Th1-type cytokine increased the secretion of IL-2, IL-12 and IL-15 compared to the infected control. The proliferative capacity of the treated group was higher than that of the mixed treatment group. TNF-α was significantly decreased compared with the infected control group. The IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were significantly inhibited in the infected control group and the Th1/Th2 type cytokine expression was regulated by immunohistochemistry. IgE, IgA, and IgG levels were significantly lower in the immunoglobulin secretion assay than in the control. As a result, the immunomodulatory effect of β-1,3/1,6-glucan+lactic acid bacteria was confirmed by mixing with LP-BM5 murine AIDS virus-infected immunodeficient animal model.

Total phenolic content and the antioxidative activity (DPPH radical-scavenging capacity) of 29 fruits and vegetables were determined. The total phenolic contents of plum (1.06 mg GAE/g fresh weight) and cherry (0.95 mg GAE/g fresh weight) were high, whereas those of banana, carrot, and cucumber (each at 0.07 mg GAE/g fresh weight) were low. In the DPPH radical-scavenging assay, apple mango extract showed the highest value(92.8%) among the 29 ethanol extracts tested, followed by paprika (75.4%), beet (75.3%), and cherry (75.1%). In the inhibition assay, cherry (34.95% inhibition) and grape (31.03%) showed the highest activities among the 29 fruits and vegetables examined.
