The fruit of Chaenomeles sinensis (Thouin) Koehne (Chaenomelis Fructus) known as “Mo-Gua” in Korea has been commonly used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, such as sore throat. However, its effect on bone metabolism has not been elucidated yet. Here, we examined the effect of Chaenomelis Fructus ethanol extract (CFE) on receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation and formation. CF-E considerably inhibited osteoclast differentiation and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinuclear cell formation from bone marrow-derived macrophages and osteoclast precursor cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the formation of actin rings and resorption pits were significantly suppressed in CF-E-treated osteoclasts as compared with the findings in non-treated control cells. Consistent with these phenotypic inhibitory results, the expressions of osteoclast differentiation marker genes (Acp5, Atp6v0d2 , Oscar, CtsK, and Tm7sf4) and Nfatc1 , a pivotal transcription factor for osteoclastogenesis, were markedly decreased by CF-E treatment. The inhibitory effect of CF-E on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was associated with the suppression of NFATc1 expression, not by regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-κB activation but by the inactivation of phospholipase C gamma 1 and 2. These results indicate that CF-E has an inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation and formation, and they suggest the possibility of CF-E as a traditional therapeutic agent against bone-resorptive diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis.

In this study, we investigated the effects of diesel-palm oil biodiesel-ethanol blends on combustion and emission characteristics in a 4-cylinder common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine at low idling operations. The engine speed and engine load was 750 rpm and 40 Nm, while the main and pilot injection timing was respectively fixed at 2 °CA before top dead center (BTDC) and 20 °CA BTDC. The experimental results showed that the cylinder pressure increased with the increasing of palm oil biodiesel ratio from 20% to 100%. In addition, the peak value of cylinder pressure increased by 4.35% compared with pure diesel fuel when 5 vol.% ethanol oil added to diesel oil. Because the palm oil biodiesel and ethanol are the oxygenated fuel, the oxygen content played an important role in improving combustion. Based on the high oxygen content of biodiesel and ethanol, their mixing with diesel fuel effectively reduced PM emissions but increased NOx slightly, while CO and HC had no significant changes.

본 연구는 만자카니(Quercus infectoria Olivier)의 항염증과 같은 생리활성에 대해 실험하였다. 만자카니는 열수(MDE)와 80% 에탄올(MEE)로 추출하였으며, MTT assay로 세포독성을 측정하였다. 항 염증 활성을 위하여 nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandon E2 (PGE2) 및 leukotrien B4 (LTB4)의 생성을 측정 하였으며, 염증성 사이토카인(IL-1β, IL-6 및 tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α)) 생성 및 전사인자의 발현을 측정 하였다. 그 결과 본 연구 농도범위인 1, 5, 10 ㎍/㎖에서 유의한 세포독성이 나타나지 않는 것을 확인 하였다. 각 시료의 10 ㎍/㎖ 농도에서 NO의 경우 MDE 37.2%, MEE 43.7%, PGE2의 경우 MDE 30.9%, MEE 43.7%, LTB4의 경우 MDE 37.1%, MEE 43.7% 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 염증성 사이토 카인의 경우 각 시료의 10 ㎍/㎖ 농도에서 IL-1β는 MDE 38.8%로 MEE 50.8%, IL-6는 MDE 35.0%, MEE 44.2%, TNF-α는 MDE31.9%, MEE 36.6% 감소되었다. 또한 전사인자의 경우 NF-κB는 MDE 44.0%, MEE 16.0%, iNOS는 MDE 44.0%, MEE 55.0%, COX-2는 MDE 45.0%, MEE 40.0% 감소되었다. 추출물 모두 항염증 활성에 효과가 있었으나 상대적으로 MEE가 염증성 인자의 감소 효능이 높은 것으로 확인 되었다. 결과적으로 만자카니의 여수 및 에탄올 추출물 모두 항염증 효능이 확인 되었으며 상대적으로 MEE의 효능이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 객관적으로 유의한 효능을 나타냈으므로 향후 염증으로 인한 피부 손상 나아가 염증관련 질환을 개선하는 제품의 유용한 소재로써 응용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The gas response characteristic toward C2H5OH has been demonstrated in terms of copper-vacancy concentration, hole density, and microstructural factors for undoped/Li(I)-doped CuO thin films prepared by sol-gel method. For the films, both concentrations of intrinsic copper vacancies and electronic holes decrease with increasing calcination temperature from 400 to 500 to 600 oC. Li(I) doping into CuO leads to the reduction of copper-vacancy concentration and the enhancement of hole density. The increase of calcination temperature or Li(I) doping concentration in the film increases both optical band gap energy and Cu2p binding energy, which are characterized by UV-vis-NIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The overall hole density of the film is determined by the offset effect of intrinsic and extrinsic hole densities, which depend on the calcination temperature and the Li(I) doping amount, respectively. The apparent resistance of the film is determined by the concentration of the structural defects such as copper vacancies, Li(I) dopants, and grain boundaries, as well as by the hole density. As a result, it is found that the gas response value of the film sensor is directly proportional to the apparent sensor resistance.

A two-phase flow in mini-channels is consist with various flow regimes (such as bubble slug, annular, churn flow) according to gas and liquid phase flow rates. A previous researches revealed that in a case of slug flow in hydrophobic mini-channels, gas and liquid phase are perfectly separated by interfaces and triple contact line. In this study, the single dry slug flow experiments in circular mini-channel (D = 1.018 mm) are conducted to observe interfacial break-up phenomena in high capillary number range (Ca < 0.02). The slug is consist with D.I. water or D.I. water-ethanol binary mixtures (5% and 10%, mole fraction). On the base of previous researches, we calculate the pressure drop at moving triple contact line. In an addition, a single dry slug flow is visualized by using high-speed camera. Through the experiment, three regimes of pressure drop are observed; steady, loss, separation. As a result, criteria between steady and loss regimes is closely related to capillary number, and criteria between loss and separation regimes is related to surface tension.

Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai is a deciduous shrub of a flowering plant in Oleaceae. It is an important plant resource and consists of only one species in the entire world. A. distichum Nakai is well known an edible, medicinal herb in its habitat districts, but the toxicological evaluation for the safe use of its extract is still insufficient. The study characterized the toxicity of an Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and determined the safe dosage levels in a 13 weeks toxicity study. Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract was orally administered once daily for 2 weeks at 0, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/kg/day to male and female SD rats. while recording the clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, food intake/consumption, eye test and urine analysis. Only the total protein frequency in the urine of male SD rats (p<0.05), the right ovary of the 500 mg/kg group (p<0.01) and the right adrenal gland of the 1,000 mg/kg group (p<0.05) in the female rats showed statistically significant changes. But no toxic effects were noted from repeated-dose administration of the Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in the SD rats during the observation period. The post-mortem examinations showed no test substance-mediated changes. The hematological analysis and clinical blood chemistry data demonstrated no toxic effects from repeated-dose administration of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in the SD rats during the observation period. Based on these results, this data suggests that a dose of 1,000 mg/kg/day is a highest treatment to administer when conducting a further 13 weeks toxicity study.

At a two phase flow, according to gas and liquid phase flow rates, various flow regimes are developed such as bubbly, slug/plug, churn, annular, droplet flow and so on. At a two phase flow in small scaled channels, among various flow regimes, the intermittent flows such as bubbly, slug/plug flow are developed in the broad regions of two phase flow pattern map. In particular, the flow regimes are influenced by surface wettability. In a case of slug flow in hydrophobic small scaled channels, gas and liquid phases are perfectively separated by interfaces and contact line. The pressure drop of the two-phase flow is largely generated at moving contact line. Therefore, to well design two-phase flow system with small scales, it is important to estimate the pressure drop at moving contact line. In this study, on the basis of previous research, the pressure drop at moving contact line is experimentally measured for a various fluids (0-40% water-ethanol mixtures). And, the previous correlation to estimate pressure drop at moving contact line is verified by experimental data. In an addition, we discuss interfacial broken phenomena of slug flow in a minichannel. (D=1.555mm).

본 연구는 국내에서 육종한 품종인 ‘Pink Aurora’ 장미를 보존화로 가공하는 기술의 개발에 관한 것으로 탈수와 탈색 처리를 위한 에탄올의 침지시간과 염색을 위한 보존용액의 온도와 침지시간를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 탈수는 먼셀 H값에서 붉은 색이 완전히 빠지고 시간이 길어질수록 황색이 짙어짐을 고려해 볼 때 12시간이 가장 효과적이었다. 보존용액 처리에 서는 채도값을 나타내는 C의 차이는 크지 않았지만 온도가 높고 처리시간이 길어질수록 색의 맑기가 높아졌다. 낮은 온도 에서 침지시간이 길어짐에 따라 화형의 감소율이 낮았다. 24 시간 건조 후 무게는 모든 온도 처리에서 침지시간이 길어질 수록 53~47% 감소하였고, 건조 48시간의 25℃에서 6시간 침 지에서 73%, 24시간 침지에서 68%의 감소율을 나타내 침지시간이 길어질수록 감소율이 낮았다. 따라서 에탄올로 12시간동 안 탈수하여 염색 보존액을 25℃에서 24시간동안 처리하는 것이 가장 효과적이라고 생각된다.

The characteristics of extracts and precipitates after extraction at different water temperature (25, 50, 75, 95oC), ethanol ratio (25, 50, 75, 100%), and extraction method (stir, soak, autoclave) of yam powder and raw yam were investigated. The total polyphenol content was the highest in the 50% ethanol extract of yam powder. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the 75% ethanol extraction and the crude saponin content was the highest in the 95oC water extraction. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was the highest in 95oC water extraction, low concentration of ethanol extraction, and autoclave extraction. The peak viscosity, trough, and final viscosity of the precipitates increased after ethanol extraction, whereas decreased after the 95oC water extraction and the autoclave, indicating the destruction of starch granules. This was confirmed by observing the starch granules broken using the SEM. The significance of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of yam resources as a material, processing product development, skin beauty functional food and cosmetic material.

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to cultivate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a by-product in the fermentation of kimchi through the use of Chinese cabbage leaves. A method to reduce the initial number of microorganisms using citric acid and ethanol to wash cabbage leaves was investigated. In this experiment, Chinese cabbage leaves were washed using a mixture of 3% citric acid and 7% ethanol and the washed cabbage leaves were juiced and used as a sample. The total microorganisms of kimchi cabbage juice (KCJ) was reduced from log 6.53 CFU/g to log 3.69 CFU/g by washing with citric acid and ethanol, and lactic acid bacteria from log 4.40 CFU/g to log 2.01 CFU/g. The salinity of KCJ was appropriate for the growth of lactic acid bacteria but the pH was too low. The yield of washing, juice extraction, and total were 80.82%, 79.32%, and 64.11%, respectively. KCJ made by washing with citric acid and ethanol was good for the culture broth of lactic acid bacteria.

Drosophila melanogaster is mainly found in fermented and rotten fruits and is tolerant to chemicals emitted during the fermentation process. Its distinctive habitat suggests an evolutionary adaptation to environmental chemicals. In order to understand the physiological adaptation of D. melanogaster to the chemicals, we treated LC20 concentration of three chemicals (acetic acid, ethanol and 2-phenylethanol) and differential expression of the female whole body transcripts were compared with control fly (no chemical treatment). Compared to control fly, 94, 137 and 59 genes were up-regulated, while 85, 184 and 166 genes were down-regulated in acetic acid, 2-phenylethanol and ethanol treated flies, respectively. According to the KEGG enrichment analysis, genes categorized in metabolic pathway, Toll/IMD signaling pathway, lysosome and autophagy were ranked in the top groups of most changed gene sets after three chemical treatment. In addition, we selected 7 genes showing different expression levels in transcriptome analysis, and investigated their expression changes in the flies exposed to various concentration of three chemicals using quantitative PCR.

In this study, 23 ethanolic extracts from 20 medicinal plants were evaluated for biological activities. Results revealed that of 23 samples, seven samples have demonstrated good antimicrobial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were 0.4-2.0 mg/mL, while minimum bactericidal concentrations were mostly high 0.8- 2.0 mg/mL for selected seven samples. Five samples revealed > 70 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of total phenolic contents. Among test samples, six samples exhibited > 80% inhibition of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and only two samples exhibited > 80% inhibition of 2,2’-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals. A total of five test samples revealed Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity more than 1000 μm/ g. The MTT assay indicated that eight test samples exhibited > 90% viability of murine macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) at 250 μg/mL and suppressed iNOS mRNA expression at transcriptional level when stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Some medicinal plants revealed promising results, and so they have prospective for further more inclusive studies.

본 연구는 가죽나무(Ailantias altissima) 추출물을 유효성분으로 함유하는 면역 증강용 소재를 개발하기 위하여 수행한 것으로, 가죽나무 에탄올 추출물 단독 또는 면역능을 보유한 유산균과의 혼합처리에 의한 면역 활성능을 비교 분석하였다. 가죽나무 에탄올 추출물에 의한 대식세포 증식에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 10~500 μg/mL 농도 범위로 처리하였을 때 100 μg/mL 농도에서만 대식세포가 활성화되어 높은 세포 증식률을 나타내었다. NF-κB 활성 평가에서는 유산균과 가죽나무 추출물을 1:0.25 비율로 혼합해서 처리하였을 때 추출물을 단독 처리하였을 때보다 NF-κB 활성능이 증가하였는데, 생균보다 사균과 함께 처리하였을 때 그 값이 더 높았다. 특히 Lactobacillus plantarum 4-25 사균과 추출물을 1:0.25 비율로 혼합 시 가장 높은 활성능을 나타내었다. Nitric oxide(NO) 생성량은 가죽나무 에탄올 추출물의 단독 처리에 의해 5.46±0.06 μM/mL로 LPS 처리 대조군(5.73±0.06μM/mL)과 유사하게 가장 높은 값을 보였지만, 혼합 처리군 에서도 Weissella cibaria JW15와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG 등 사균과 가죽나무 추출물을 1:0.25 비율로 처리하였을 때만 대조군보다 높은 생성량을 보였다. TNF-α와 IL-1β 등 사이토카인 생성량에서는 가죽나무 추출물 단독처리군보다 유산균들과의 혼합처리군에서 모두 높은 값을 나타내었는데, 특히 Weissella cibaria JW15 균주를 추출물과 혼합한 경우에만 LPS 처리군보다 높은 TNF-α 활성을 보였고, 생균과 사균 간의 큰 차이 없이 1:0.25 비율로 혼합 시 가장 높은 생성량을 보였다. IL-1β 생성량은 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG 사균과의 혼합에서는 1:0.25 비율로 처리하였을 때 높은 값을 나타내었고, 가죽나무 추출물 단독 처리와 유사한 수준을 나타내었지만, 나머지 혼합군에서는 IL-1β가 검출되지 않았다. 종합적으로 살펴보면 가죽나무 에탄올 추출물과 유산균주와의 혼합에 의한 면역 활성능을 확인한 결과, 가죽나무 추출물 단독처리보다 유산균과 가죽나무 추출물을 1:0.25 비율로 처리한 혼합물에 의해 높은 면역활성능을 보여, 가죽나무 추출물을 유효성분으로 함유하는 소재를 활용하여 면역 저하증 예방 및 치료용 등 건강기능식품 개발을 위하여 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
