천연보습인자(NMF, natural moisturizing factor)는 정상 피부 내의 각질층에 존재하는 수용성, 친수성 성분을 총칭하는 말로 외부로부터 수분을 흡수하고 각질층의 수분보유능을 증가시키며 피부가 건조해지는 것을 방지하여 피부의 유연성과 가수성을 유지하는 기능을 한다. NMF는 주로 아미노산과 아미노산의 대사산물로 구성되며 이들은 필라그린(filaggrin)이 분해되면서 생성된다. 본 연구에서는 피부 각질층의 22종의 개별 아미노산의 함량분석을 통하여 피부보습능과 개개의 아미노산과의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 15명의 건강한 지원자들의 전박과 이마로부터 tape stripping한 각질 시료 중 22종의 아미노산 함량을 UPLC-PDA를 이용하여 동시 분석하였다. 그 결과 각질 표면보다는 안쪽에서의 아미노산들의 함량이 높음을 확인하였다. 또한 신체 부위별 비교에서 전박이 이마에 비해 아미노산 함량이 1.5배 정도 높음을 확인하였다. 전박부위의 아미노산 총 함량과 보습능(TEWL)과의 상관 관계분석을 통해서는 보습능이 클수록 총아미노산 함량이 높은 것으로 확인되었으며 특히 Ser, Glu, Gly, Ala 및 Thr은 각질 내 존재하는 주요 아미노산 성분으로 보습에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 성분으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로써 NMF의 주성분인 아미노산의 함량은 각질 생리기능과 밀접한 관련을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 본 연구를 통해 얻은 각질층의 아미노산의 통합적인 분석법은 보습, 노화, 미백, 피부 염증질환 등 다양한 피부 상태와 아미노산류들의 변화와의 관계를 깊이 이해하고 피부 기능과 관련된 새로운 분자적 타겟을 발굴하고 증명하는데 기초적인 방법으로써 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. Natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) are hydrophilic and water-soluble components in stratum corneum of the skin. NMFs absorb water from outer environment and enhance the water-holding capacity of stratum corneum and thereby, prevent the dryness and increase flexibility and plasticity of skin. NMFs are mainly composed of amino acids and their metabolites that are produced from the degradation of filaggrin. Here we established a simultaneous quantification method for 22 amino acids in tape-stripped stratum corneum samples using UPLC-PDA. With this method, we analyzed amino acid contents from tape-stripped stratum corneum samples of forearm and forehead regions from 15 healthy volunteers. Amino acid contents of inner (or upper) region were higher than outer (or lower) region of stratum corneum. Amino acid contents of stratum corneum of forearm were higher by 1.5 fold than forehead region. Of note, total amino acid contents were significantly and inversely correlated with trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), an index for skin barrier function. Especially, Ser, Glu, Gly, Ala and Thr were determined to positively affect skin mositurizing activities. In conclusion, we could demonstrate that amino acid contents of stratum corneum are closely linked with skin barrier and moisturizing function, providing an important and fundamental methodology for the study of amino acids in skin physiology.

There is now a growing concern about the possible toxicity of heavy metals in cosmetics. Heavy metals can be used as cosmetic ingredients or may be present as low level impurities in some of the raw materials. Chromium derivatives are used as pigments in cosmetics. Chromium is essential and toxic trace elements. Chromium may cause skin allergy. However, the regulations related to cosmetic products give no limit values for Chromium. Hexavalent chromium is significantly more toxic than trivalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium may present a carcinogenic risk at high concentrations. Therefore, it is important to consider oxidation state of chromium when analyze chromium. The purpose of this study is to determine the concentrations of water-soluble trivalent and hexavalent chromium in samples of makeup products, and to assess the safety of cosmetics on the basis of animal sensitization tests using guinea pig. The present study of chromium in 48 makeup products of 12 manufacturers provides a basis for assessing safety of makeup products. Water-soluble hexavalent chromium was not detected in any product. Water-soluble trivalent chromium was detected in only 9 eye shadows out of 48 makeup products, and could not be quantified 3 out of 9 eye shadows. The highest level of water-soluble trivalent chromium was about 10 mg/kg in spite of 90,000 mg/kg of total chromium. The results of animal sensitization tests show that 200 mg/kg of trivalent chromium and 5 mg/kg of hexavalent chromium have no harmful effect. No cross-reaction among these metals was found. Accordingly, the concentrations of water-soluble chromium in makeup products seemed to be safe. The overall results indicate that chromium in cosmetics probably have no significant toxicological effects. However, It is necessary to set guidelines on the maximum permissible concentration of water-soluble chromium in cosmetics.

The growth rate of domestic pharmacies has been recently suppressed because of environmental changes around hospitals, an increase in the number of drugs, changes in consumer buying behavior caused by the emergence of the new distribution systems, and the entry of domestic conglomerates and global distribution companies in drugstore businesses. This study investigates 11 influencing factors on the business performance of local pharmacies by analyzing 161 study samples. Empirical results show that 1) the most influencing factor on the business performance of the pharmacies is the Number of nearby clinics, 2) the location conditions are distinct factors to determine the business type of pharmacy and 3) the influencing factors on each type of the pharmacies are different. The paper contributes to enhance the competitiveness of local pharmacies by verifying the crucial factors on their business performance.

Slim813은 2-사이클로펜텐-1-온 옥심 유도체로서 다양한 염증성 자극원에 대한 TNF 생성을 억제하는 항 자극 및 UV에 의한 MMP1 억제를 통한 항 노화 효능을 갖는 물질이다. 본 연구를 통하여 이와 같은 효능 외에도 완전히 분화된 지방 세포에서 cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) 생성 촉진을 통한 HSL (hormone sensitive lipase) 활성을 증대시킴으로써 지방분해를 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 Slim813을 사람의 팔과 허벅지 부위에 2주간 도포하였을 때 지방의 두께 감소를 유발하는 것으로 나타나 체내 피하 지방을 분해하는 효능을 갖는 것으로 사료된다. Slim813 is a 2-cyclopentene-1-one oxime derivative with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-photoaging effects. Slim813 inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α production and attenuated UVB-induced MMP1 expression. Here in an attempt to find an unrevealed efficacy of Slim813, we found that Slim813 stimulates lipolysis in a dose-dependent manner by increasing intracellular cAMP level through the elevation of HSL activity in fully differentiated adipocytes. Moreover, topical application of Slim813 for two weeks in human reduced the thickness of subcutaneous fat in arm and thigh regions, implying it could be effectively used in the reduction of unwanted local fat accumulation.

미네랄은 이온 상태로 존재하기 때문에, 카보머나 아크릴레이트 계 점증 시스템의 저점도 가용화 제형에서는 고농도로 안정화하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 젤 에센스 제형 내 고농도의 미네랄을 안정화하기 위하여, 염류에 안정한 실리콘 코폴리올을 이용한 네트워크 필름을 만들고, 네트워크 내에 미네랄을 고농도로 포집하여 피부에 오랜 시간 동안 고농도의 미네랄이 천천히 피부에 흡수될 수 있도록 제형을 설계하였다. 설계한 최적의 제형을 시료로 이용하여 6주간의 임상실험을 진행하였으며, 그 결과 피부 각질층의 미네랄 함량이 증가하고, 아미노산이 증가함으로써 각질층의 수분량이 증가하여 피부 투명도가 증가하였고 묵은 각질이 탈락하고 각질층이 정돈되어 피부 칙칙함과 피부 밝기가 개선됨을 확인하였다. Since minerals are in ionic forms in aqueous phase (like deep sea water), it is very hard to incorporate concentrated minerals in gel like cosmetic formulations which are generally composed of carbomer or acrylates polymer. In this study, we invented a salt-resistant network formulation made of silicon copolyol. It was found that the network formulation traps minerals (especially from marine) in a mesh-like silicone copolyol structure. Since the mineral-containing formulation makes a very thin film on the skin, minerals could be easily absorbed into stratum corneum. In 6 weeks in vivo test, it was found that the novel mineral formulation increased the amounts of amino acids, major components of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs), as well as levels of minerals. It was also found that the moisture contents and the brightness of the skin increased.

The effect of corticosteroid on the diabetic pregnant rats and their fetuses was investigated. Streptozotocin (STZ) was injected into the pregnant rats on the fifth day of pregnancy. Dexamethasone (DXM) was injected into the pregnant rats on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th days of pregnancy. In prenatal rats, the body weight, an abortion rate, number of fetus, the ratio of lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) and the levels of blood glucose and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) were determined. In the postnatal rats, the body weight, the levels of blood glucose, fetal number, stillbirth rate, an organ weight and the levels of hepatic glycogen, protein and triglyceride were determined. The body weight of fetuses was lower in the DXM group and higher in the STZ group than the those of control group. Blood glucose of fetuses produced hypoglycemia in the STZ group compared with the control group. A significant increase in the abortion and stillbirth rates was observed in STZ group. The levels of glycogen, protein and triglyceride in fetus liver and the weight of pancreas were significantly increased in the STZ and STZ+DXM groups compared with the control group. The L/S ratio and the level of PG in the amniotic fluid were significantly decreased in STZ group compared with the control group, whereas those of the STZ+DXM group were similar to the control group. It has been observed that corticosteroid administration on the STZ-induced diabetic rats during final stage of pregnancy can prevent the respiratory depression syndrome of neonatal rats.
