Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease that often has asthma and allergic rhinitis. Magnesium salts, the important component of minerals in Dead Sea water, are known to exhibit beneficial effects in inflammatory disease. Favorable effects of magnesium ions and sea water treated to the skin of patients with contact dermatitis have been reported. But histological and immunological investigations are insufficient. This study was performed to examine the inhibitory effect of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on the development of AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. AD-like skin lesions are induced by the repeated application of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Local application of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on hairless mice skin applied with DNCB inhibited the development of AD-like skin lesions as exemplified by a significant increase in skin hydration (p<0.01), and a decrease in epidermal water loss (p<0.01). Serum IgE level was also significantly decreased (p<0.01). These results suggest that magnesiumrich sea mineral water inhibits the development of DNCB-induced AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. These observations indicate that magnesium-rich sea mineral water may be alternative and assistant substances for the management of AD. 아토피성 피부염은 주로 천식과 비염 등을 동반하는, 주위에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 만성 염증성 피부질환으로 유전학적, 환경적, 면역학적 요인이 복잡하게 연관되어 발병한다. 해수에 포함된 마그네슘염은 피부에 작용하여 피부장벽을 보호하는 것으로 알려지고 그에 대한 면역학적인 연구와 조직학적 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 피부염을 인위적으로 일으키는 hapten 형성물질인 DNCB를 hairless mice에 도포하여 아토피 피부염 동물 모델로 만든 후, 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수를 처리한 후 피부장벽에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. DNCB로 피부염을 유발한 hairless mice에 해양미네랄수를 국소적으로 도포하였을 때 유의한 피부수분함량이 증가와 경피수분손실의 감소를 확인하였다 (p<0.01). 피부측정에서 피부거칠기(skin roughness, p<0.05)와 스케일생성 (skin scaliness, p<0.01)은 실험군에서 유의한 개선효과를 나타내었으며 조직학적 검사에서도 피부손상지수의 유의한 감소 (p<0.01)와 비만세포와 (p<0.01) 호산구의 감소(p<0.05) 소견을 보였고 또한 혈청 IgE의 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.01). 이상과 같이 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수 도포는 피부장벽의 손상을 줄이고 피부수분손실을 효과적으로 줄임으로 아토피성 피부염 증상 유발을 억제할수 있음을 확인하였다. 현재까지 아토피성 피부염의 관리를 위하여 세라마이드나 식물성 오일의 보습제가 주로 활용되고 있는 상황에서 부가적인 피부장벽의 보호를 위하여 탈염 해양 미네랄수의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며 장기적으로 아토피 피부염치료의 대체, 혹은 보조적 물질로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A Novel Ginsenosidase from an Aspergillus Strain Hydrolyzing 6-O-Multi- Glycosides of Protopanaxatriol-Type Ginsenosides, Named Ginsenosidase Type IV

( Dong Ming Wang ),( Hong Shan Yu ),( Jian Guo Song ),( Yu Feng Xu ),( Chun Ying Liu ),( Feng Xie Jin ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2011 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.21 No.10

Herein, a novel ginsenosidase, named ginsenosidase type IV, hydrolyzing 6-O-multi-glycosides of protopanaxatrioltype ginsenosides (PPT), such as Re, R1, Rf, and Rg2, was isolated from the Aspergillus sp. 39g strain, purified, and characterized. Ginsenosidase type IV was able to hydrolyze the 6-O-α-L-(1→2)-rhamnoside of Re and the 6-O-β-D- (1→2)-xyloside of R1 into ginsenoside Rg1. Subsequently, it could hydrolyze the 6-O-β-D-glucoside of Rg1 into F1. Similarly, it was able to hydrolyze the 6-O-α-L-(1→2)- rhamnoside of Rg2 and the 6-O-β-D-(1→2)-glucoside of Rf into Rh1, and then further hydrolyze Rh1 into its aglycone. However, ginsenosidase type IV could not hydrolyze the 3-O- or 20-O-glycosides of protopanaxadioltype ginsenosides (PPD), such as Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc, and Rd. These exhibited properties are significantly different from those of glycosidases described in Enzyme Nomenclature by the NC-IUBMB. The optimal temperature and pH for ginsenosidase type IV were 40℃ and 6.0, respectively. The activity of ginsenosidase type IV was slightly improved by the Mg2+ ion, and inhibited by Cu2+ and Fe2+ ions. The molecular mass of the enzyme, based on SDS-PAGE, was noted as being approximately 56 kDa.

Design of Adaptive Neural Tracking Controller for Pod Propulsion Unmanned Vessel Subject to Unknown Dynamics

Dong-Dong Mu,Guo-Feng Wang,Yun-Sheng Fan 대한전기학회 2017 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.12 No.6

This paper addresses two interrelated problems concerning the tracking control of pod propulsion unmanned surface vessel (USV), namely, the modeling of pod propulsion USV, and tracking controller design. First, based on MMG modeling theory, the model of pod propulsion USV is derived. Furthermore, a practical adaptive neural tracking controller is proposed by backstepping technique, neural network approximation and adaptive method. Meanwhile, unlike some existing tracking methods for surface vessel whose control algorithms suffer from “explosion of complexity”, a novel neural shunting model is introduced to solve the problem. Using a Lyapunov functional, it is proven that all error signals in the system are uniformly ultimately bounded. The advantages of the paper are that first, the underactuated characteristic of pod propulsion USV is proved; second, the neural shunting model is used to solve the problem of “explosion of complexity”, and this is a combination of knowledge in the field of biology and engineering; third, the developed controller is able to capture the uncertainties without the exact information of hydrodynamic damping structure and the sea disturbances. Numerical examples have been given to illustrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

A Time-Varying Lookahead Distance of ILOS Path Following for Unmanned Surface Vehicle

Dong-Dong Mu,Guo-Feng Wang,Yun-Sheng Fan 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.5

This paper is concerned with the path following control for an unmanned surface vessel subject to unknown dynamics and external disturbance. Firstly, an integral Line-of-Sight navigation strategy based on a fuzzy strategy to optimize lookahead distance to achieve faster convergence speed is proposed. Then a novel adaptive course control law based on trajectory linearization control technology is proposed, which is combined with the integral Line-of-Sight navigation strategy to form a complete unmanned surface vessel path following strategy. From the author’s point of view, this is the fi rst time that trajectory linearization control technology has been applied to the path following scheme by controlling the course. At the same time, in order to improve the robustness of the path following system, the unknown dynamics, external disturbance, and error in the system are compensated by neural network minimum learning parameter method with less computational complexity and a robust term, respectively. Furthermore, hyperbolic tangent function, Nussbaum function, and neural shunting model are introduced into the design of control law to solve the potential input saturation problem. Finally, the numerical simulation experiments of straight line and curve path following are given to prove the feasibility and universality of the whole set of path following scheme.

Synthesis, characterization, and antioxidant activity in vitro of selenium‑Euryale ferox Salisb. polysaccharide

In order to obtain and explore selenide composed of selenium and polysaccharide, three parameters were selected to optimize the synthesis process of selenium-Euryale ferox Salisb. polysaccharide (Se-ESPS) by Box-Behnken design. Furthermore, ESPS-B1 separated from ESPS was selenitized to Se-ESPS-B1 by the optimal synthesis process, then the characterization, and antioxidant activity in vitro of Se-ESPS-B1 were explored. The result manifested that the Se content of Se-ESPS was (2.915 ± 0.03) mg/g according to the optimal synthesis process of Se-ESPS (reaction time at 5 h, reaction temperature at 81 ℃, weight ratio of Na2SeO3 to ESPS at 0.9 g/g). A series of detection results indicated that the characterizations of Se-ESPS-B1 were apparently distinguished from that of ESPS-B1. Moreover, the antioxidant experiments in vitro demonstrated that Se-ESPS-B1 could exert antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH, ABTS,·OH, and increasing reduction ability. In conclusion, the synthesis process is an effective approach to harvest seleniumpolysaccharide, and Se-ESPS-B1 may be utilized as a potential antioxidant or selenium nutritional supplement.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND EXTRACTION ALGORITHM OF INTER-GRANULAR BRIGHT POINTS

Feng, Song,Ji, Kai-Fan,Deng, Hui,Wang, Feng,Fu, Xiao-Dong The Korean Astronomical Society 2012 Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society Vol.45 No.6

Inter-granular Bright Points (igBPs) are small-scale objects in the Solar photosphere which can be seen within dark inter-granular lanes. We present a new algorithm to automatically detect and extract igBPs. Laplacian and Morphological Dilation (LMD) technique is employed by the algorithm. It involves three basic processing steps: (1) obtaining candidate "seed" regions by Laplacian; (2) determining the boundary and size of igBPs by morphological dilation; (3) discarding brighter granules by a probability criterion. For validating our algorithm, we used the observed samples of the Dutch Open Telescope (DOT), collected on April 12, 2007. They contain 180 high-resolution images, and each has a $85{\times}68\;arcsec^2$ field of view (FOV). Two important results are obtained: first, the identified rate of igBPs reaches 95% and is higher than previous results; second, the diameter distribution is $220{\pm}25km$, which is fully consistent with previously published data. We conclude that the presented algorithm can detect and extract igBPs automatically and effectively.
