본 연구에서는 홍차 흑효모 발효물의 기능성화장품 소재로서의 가능성을 규명하고자 항산화, 미백, 항주름 효능을 확인하였다. 홍차 흑효모 발효물의 결과는 홍차 추출물, 흑효모 발효물과 비교하여 나타내었다. 항산화능 평가 결과 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 흑효모 발효물보다 뛰어난 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 나타냈으며 홍차 추출물과는 유사한 결과를 나타냈다. 과산화수소로 유도된 세포 내 활성산소종 실험에서도 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 유의적 제거 활성을 보였다. 또한 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 보이며 Melan-a, B16F10 세포를 이용한 멜라닌 형성이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 항주름 효능 확인을 위해 콜라겐 분해 효소(MMP-1)를 측정한 결과 홍차 흑효모 발효물이 홍차 추출물, 흑효모 발효물보다 높은 항주름 활성을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 항산화능 효능을 보이며 미백, 항주름 효능을 보아 기능성 화장품 소재로 개발될 수 있음을 확인하였다. In this study, anti-oxidant, whitening and anti-aging effects were investigated the possibility of fermented black tea yeast as a functional cosmetic material. The results of Aureobasidium pullulans (A. pullulans) ferment of black tea (AFBT) were compared with black tea (BT) and A. pullulans ferment (AF). The antioxidant activity of the AFBT product showed DPPH radical scavenging ability higher than that of AF. In the intracellular ROS experiments induced by hydrogen peroxide, the AFBT showed significant decreased activity. In addition, AFBT showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity and inhibited the formation of melanin using Melan-a and B16F10 cells. Through suppression of MMP-1 expression, the AFBT showed higher anti-wrinkle activity than BT and AF. From the results of this study, it was confirmed that AFBT showed antioxidant activity and was developed as a functional cosmetic material based on whitening and anti-wrinkle efficacies.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Here, we report the results of a prevalidation trial for an <I>in vitro</I> eye irritation test (EIT) using the reconstructed human cornea-like epithelium, MCTT HCE™. The optimal cutoff to determine irritation in the prediction model was established at 35% with the receiver operation characteristics(ROC) curve for 126 substances. Within-lab(WL) and between-lab(BL) reproducibility was tested for 20 reference substances by 3 participating laboratories. Viability data described by mean±SD or ±1/2 difference between duplicate wells, and scatter plots, demonstrated the WL/BL consistency. WL/BL concordance with the binary decision, whether non-irritant or irritant was estimated to be 85–95% and 95%, respectively. WL/BL reproducibility of viability data was further supported by a strong correlation(ICC, <I>r</I> >0.9). WL/BL agreement of binary decisions was also examined by Fleiss' Kappa statistics, which showed a strong level of agreement (>0.78), nevertheless weaker than the reproducibility of the viability. The EIT with MCTT HCE™ exhibited a sensitivity of 82.2% (60/73), a specificity of 81.1% (43/53), and an accuracy of 81.8% (103/126) for 126 reference substances (for liquids; a sensitivity of 100% (47/47), a specificity of 70.6% (24/34), and an accuracy of 87.7% (71/81), and for solids, a sensitivity of 50% (13/26), a specificity of 100% (19/19), and an accuracy of 71.1% (32/45), suggesting that the accuracy is satisfactory but the sensitivity needs improvement, which shall be addressed through correcting the poor sensitivity for solid substances in future full validation trials.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> MCTT™ HCE EIT employing water-soluble formazan WST-1, demonstrated a performance comparable to other RhCEs. </LI> <LI> Within- and between-lab reproducibility for 3 labs with 20 chemicals were 85–95% and 95% respectively. </LI> <LI> Predictive capacity for 126 chemicals was sensitivity 82.2%, specificity 81.1% and accuracy 81.8% </LI> </UL> </P>

Gangjeong is a Korea traditional sweet cookie. Since long ago, Koreans have made Gangjeong at home whenever they have a feast such as a wedding or an ancestral rite. Gangjeong is made of rice or brown rice, honey, and oil, and has many sizies and shapes. They soak the fried pieces of Gangjeong in malt syrup, and produce different colored cookies by covering them with flour made from sesame, beans, pine nuts, pine pollen or grains of boiled rice dyed various colors. Recently, types of Gangieong has varied as the well-being trends. This experiment was conducted to examine the concentration of phenolic compounds the 24 types of Gangjeong finished goods and raw material. The total average concentration of phenolic compounds was 2340.66㎍/g and the most and the least were detected in cinnamon powder(21143.10㎍/g) and rice(49.40㎍/g), respectively. Cinnamon, green-tea powder and others had the highest content of phenolic compounds in the raw materisls. And the finished gangjeong, rice plus curry products exhibited the highest content of total phenolic compounds(1221.60㎍/g). Among the individual phenolic compounds, benzoic acid showed the highest (379.24㎍/g) concentration and sallicylic acid was the lowest (0.34㎍/g) consitutent.

Oh, Ji Won,Kloepper, Jennifer,Langan, Ewan A.,Kim, Yongsoo,Yeo, Joongyeub,Kim, Min Ji,Hsi, Tsai-Ching,Rose, Christian,Yoon, Ghil Suk,Lee, Seok-Jong,Seykora, John,Kim, Jung Chul,Sung, Young Kwan,Kim, M Nature Publishing Group 2016 The Journal of investigative dermatology Vol.136 No.1

<P>Hair follicles (HFs) undergo life-long cyclical transformations, progressing through stages of rapid growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and relative “quiescence” (telogen). Since HF cycling abnormalities underlie many human hair growth disorders, the accurate classification of individual cycle stages within skin biopsies is clinically important and essential for hair research. For preclinical human hair research purposes, human scalp skin can be xenografted onto immunocompromised mice to study human HF cycling and manipulate long-lasting anagen <I>in vivo</I>. While available for mice, a comprehensive guide on how to recognize different human hair cycle stages <I>in vivo</I> is lacking. Here, we present such a guide, which uses objective, well-defined, and reproducible criteria and integrates simple morphological indicators with advanced, (immuno)-histochemical markers. This guide also characterizes human HF cycling in xenografts and highlights the utility of this model for <I>in vivo</I> hair research. Detailed schematic drawings and representative micrographs provide examples of how best to identify human HF stages, even in sub-optimally sectioned tissue, and practical recommendations are given for designing human-on-mouse hair cycle experiments. Thus, this guide seeks to offer a benchmark for human hair cycle stage classification, for both hair research experts and newcomers to the field.</P>

Background: This article presents a comprehensive review of data on the impact of facial palsy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The possible causes and pathophysiological mechanisms of changes in the epidemiology of facial palsy during the COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 943 patients diagnosed with Bell’s palsy or Ramsay Hunt syndrome. This study compared patient demographics, comorbidities, symptoms, and treatments before the COVID-19 pandemic (from 2017 to 2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic, from 2020 to 2022). Results: Following the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a significant increase in the number of cases of Bell’s palsy, particularly among elderly individuals with diabetes. Bell’s palsy increased after the COVID-19 outbreak, rising from 75.3% in the pre-COVID-19 era to 83.6% after the COVID-19 outbreak. The complete recovery rate decreased from 88.2% to 73.9%, and the rate of recurrence increased from 2.9% to 7.5% in patients with Bell’s palsy. Ramsay Hunt syndrome showed fewer changes in clinical outcomes. Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation and management of facial palsy, and suggests potential associations with COVID-19. Notably, the observed increase in Bell’s palsy cases among elderly individuals with diabetes emphasizes the impact of the pandemic. Identifying the epidemiological changes in facial palsy during the COVID-19 pandemic has important implications for assessing its etiology and pathological mechanisms of facial palsy disease.

For set up the processing method of Byeo-Nuruk, we investigated the quality characteristics of Byeo-Nuruk according to the mixture ratio of rice and wheat, as well as the addition rate of moisture. After 12 hours of incubation, the temperature of Nuruk increased dramatically and reached a maxium temperature at 36 hours. After 36 hours, the temperature decreased gradually and was maintained at about 31~38℃. The ranges of pH and titratable acidity of Byeo-Nuruk were 4.85 to 7.42 and 1.0 to 2.3, respectively. A higher content of wheat ratio in Byeo-Nuruk, was associated with higher enzyme activities of α-amylase, glucoamylase, and acidic-protease. Further, at a 70% wheat ratio, a 25% addition rate of moisture showed the highest enzyme activity. In the mixture ratio between rice and wheat, the 50:50 and 30:70 treatments contained the highest levels of microorganisms.

The establishment of DNA microarray technology has enabled high-throughput analysis and molecular profiling of various types of cancers. By using the gene expression data from microarray analysis we are able to investigate diagnostic applications at the molecular level. The most important step in the application of microarray technology to cancer diagnostics is the selection of specific markers from gene expression profiles. In order to select markers of Immortalization and transformation we used c-myc and $H-ras^{V12}$ oncogene-transfected NIH3T3 cells as our model system. We have identified 8751 differentially expressed genes in the immortalization/transformation model by multivariate permutation F-test (95% confidence, FDR<0.01). Using the support vector machine algorithm, we selected 13 discriminative genes which could be used to predict immortalization and transformation with perfect accuracy. We assayed $H-ras^{V12}$-transfected 'transformed' cells to validate our immortalization/transformation dassification system. The selected molecular markers generated valuable additional information for tumor diagnosis, prognosis and therapy development.
