Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

중력분을 이용하여 제면한 후 가압가열, microwave 및 가압가열과 microwave 병행 처리한 후, 생면 및 삶은 면의 품질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 생면의 pH는 microwave 1 min 처리구에서 무처리구와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 수분 함량은 autoclave 50 min 처리구에서 무처리구와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 그 외의 처리구에서는 모두 수분 함량이 감소함을 확인하였다. 면의 색도 측정 결과는 명도는 무처리구에 비해 모든 처리구에서 감소하였으며, 적색도는 microwave 1 min 처리구는 감소한 반면, 나머지 처리구는 증가하였다. 황색도는 autoclave 50 min 처리구와 autoclave 50 min/microwave 1 min 병행 처리구에서 증가한 반면, 나머지 물리적 처리구에서는 감소하였다. 삶은 면의 색도에서는 명도, 적색도, 황색도 모두에서 무처리구에 비하여 물리적 처리구에서 증가한 값을 나타내었다. 물성 측정 결과는 경도, 부착성, 응집성, 검성, 복원성에서 무처리구와 비교시 microwave 1 min 처리구는 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 그 외 처리구에서는 유의적으로 증가한 값을 나타내었다. 탄력성과 전단력은 모든 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 인장력은 가압가열 30 min 처리구와 무처리구가 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 나머지 물리적 처리구에서는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 관능 평가 결과는 생면의 경우 색 항목에서 물리적 처리구들이 유의적으로 낮은 점수를 받았다. 맛, 질감, 향 항목에서는 무처리구와 물리적 처리구간 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전체적인 기호도에서는 microwave 1 min 처리구가 가장 높은 점수를 얻었으며, 가압가열(50 min)과 microwave(1 min) 병행 처리구는 무처리구와 비슷한 점수를 얻었다. 따라서 제면 후 가압가열 및 microwave 처리가 생면 및 삶은 면에 있어서 색과 질감 항목을 보완, 개선시킨다면 알러겐성이 저감화된 면을 제품화하는데 적합할 것으로 사료되어진다. This study was conducted to determine the effects of physical treatments for quality of wet noodles. Noodles were being tried with a microwave (for 1 min), an autoclave (for 30 or 50 min), and both autoclave and microwave (for 30/1 min or 50/1 min). The results showed that the pH levels were slightly decreased after treatments of autoclave and autoclave/microwave. The moisture contents were considerably decreased as compared to the control except autoclave (50 min). After all treatments, the lightness was decreased in all samples, but, redness was increased (except microwave) and the yellowness was increased after autoclave (50 min) and autoclave/microwave (50/1 min). Texture was increased as compared to the control except microwave. In the sensory evaluation, the noodles treated with microwave, autoclave (50 min), and autoclave/ microwave (50/1 min) showed a high score in overall preference. From these results, both the autoclave and microwave methods can be applied to the wet noodles without diminishing its quality to a great extent.

Factors Influencing the Acrylamide Content of Fried Potato Products

Jin, Yong-Ik,Park, Kyeong-Hun,Chang, Dong-Chil,Cho, Ji-Hong,Cho, Kwang-Su,Im, Ju-Sung,Hong, Su-Young,Kim, Su-Jeong,Nam, Jung-Hwan,Sohn, Hwang-Bae,Yu, Hong-Seob,Chung, Ill-Min The Korean Society of Environmental Agriculture 2016 한국환경농학회지 Vol.35 No.4

BACKGROUND: Acrylamide (CAS No. 79-06-1) is known to be a carcinogenic compound, and is classified as a Group 2A compound by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, 1994). Acrylamide can be generated during the browning process via the non-enzymatic Maillard reaction of carbohydrates such as reducing sugars and of amino acids such as asparagine, both of which occur at a temperature above $120^{\circ}C$. Potato tubers contain reducing sugars, and thus, this will affect the safety of processed potato products such as potato chips and French fries. In order to reduce the level of acrylamide in potato processed products, it is therefore necessary to understand factors that affect the reducing sugar content of potatoes, such as environmental factors and potato storage conditions, as well as understanding factors affecting acrylamide formation during potato processing itself. METHODS AND RESULTS: Potatoes were cultivated in eight regions of Korea; For each of these different environments, soil physico-chemical characteristics such as pH, electrical conductivity, total nitrogen, available phosphate, and exchangeable cation content were measured and correlations with potato reducing sugar content and potato chip acrylamide levels were examined. The reducing sugar content in potato during storage for three months was determined and acrylamide level in potato chip was analyzed after processing. The storage temperature levels were $4^{\circ}C$, $8^{\circ}C$, or $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. The acrylamide content of chips prepared from potatoes stored at $10^{\circ}C$ or $20^{\circ}C$ for one month was analyzed and the different frying times were 2, 3, 5, and 7 min. CONCLUSION: This study showed that monitoring and controlling the phosphate content within a potato field should be sufficient to avoid producing brown or black potato chips. For potatoes stored at low temperatures, a reconditioning period ($20^{\circ}C$ for 20 days) is required in order to reduce the levels of reducing sugars in the potato and subsequently reduce the acrylamide and improve chip coloration and appearance.

Hop Extract Produces Antinociception by Acting on Opioid System in Mice

Park, Soo-Hyun,Sim, Yun-Beom,Kang, Yu-Jung,Kim, Sung-Su,Kim, Chea-Ha,Kim, Su-Jin,Seo, Jee-Young,Lim, Su-Min,Suh, Hong-Won The Korean Society of Pharmacology 2012 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.16 No.3

In the present study, the antinociceptive profiles of hop extract were characterized in ICR mice. Hop extract administered orally (from 25 to 100 mg/kg) showed an antinociceptive effect in a dose-dependent manner as measured in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Antinociceptive action of hop extract was maintained at least for 60 min. Moreover, cumulative response time of nociceptive behaviors induced with intraplantar formalin injection was reduced by hop extract treatment during the 2nd phases. Furthermore, the cumulative nociceptive response time for intrathecal injection of substance P ($0.7{\mu}g$) or glutamate ($20{\mu}g$) was diminished by hop extract. Intraperitoneal pretreatment with naloxone (an opioid receptor antagonist) attenuated antinociceptive effect induced by hop extract in the writhing test. However, methysergide (a 5-HT serotonergic receptor antagonist) or yohimbine (an ${\alpha}_2$-adrenergic receptor antagonist) did not affect antinociception induced by hop extract in the writhing test. Our results suggest that hop extract shows an antinociceptive property in various pain models. Furthermore, the antinociceptive effect of hop extract may be mediated by opioidergic receptors, but not serotonergic and ${\alpha}_2$-adrenergic receptors.

Antinociceptive profiles and mechanisms of orally administered coumarin in mice.

Park, Soo-Hyun,Sim, Yun-Beom,Kang, Yu-Jung,Kim, Sung-Su,Kim, Chea-Ha,Kim, Su-Jin,Lim, Su-Min,Suh, Hong-Won Pharmaceutical Society of Japan 2013 BIOLOGICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL BULLETIN Vol.36 No.6

<P>In the present study, the antinociceptive profiles of coumarin were examined in ICR mice. Coumarin administered orally (from 1 to 10 mg/kg) showed an antinociceptive effect in a dose-dependent manner as measured in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Duration of antinociceptive action of coumarin maintained at least for 60 min. But, the cumulative response time of nociceptive behaviors induced by a subcutaneous (s.c.) formalin injection, intrathecal (i.t.) substance P (0.7 ?g) or glutamate (20 ?g) injection was not affected by coumarin. In addition, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) or intrathecal (i.t.) administration with coumarin (10-40 ?g) attenuated acetic acid-induced writhing response in a dose dependent manner. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) pretreatment with naloxone (an opioid receptor antagonist) attenuated antinociceptive effect induced by coumarin in the writhing test. Furthermore, i.c.v. or i.t. pretreatment with naloxone (5 ?g) reversed the decreased acetic acid-induced writhing response. However, methysergide (a 5-HT serotonergic receptor antagonist) or yohimbine (an α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist) did not affect antinociception induced by coumarin in the writhing test. Our results suggest that coumarin exerts a selective antinociceptive property in the acetic acid-induced visceral-derived pain model. Furthermore, the antinociceptive effect of coumarin may be mediated by activation of central opioid receptors, but not serotonergic and adrenergic receptors.</P>

The performance of disk-type catalytic fillers impregnated by TiO₂ or TiO₂-3Al₂O₃ㆍ2SiO₂ supports and V₂O_(5), catalyst was evaluated for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia as a reductant. XRD, FT-IR, BET and SEM were used to characterize the catalytic filters prepared in this work. Optimal V₂O_(5) loading and reaction temperature for V₂O_(5)/TiO₂ catalytic filters were 3~6wt.% and 350~400℃ at GHSV 14.300hr-¹ in the presence of oxygen, respectively. With increasing the V₂O_(5) loading from 0.5 to 6 wt.%, NO conversion increased from 24 to 96% at 400℃ and 14.300 hr-¹, and maintained at 80% over in the V₂O_(5) loading range of 3~6 wt.% and then dropped at V₂O_(5) loading of 7wt.% over. In comparing V₂O_(5)/TiO₂ and V₂O_(5)/TiO₂-3Al₂O₃ㆍ2SiO₂ catalytic fillers, which have same 3 wt.% V₂O_(5) loading, the V₂O_(5)/TiO₂-3Al₂O₃ㆍ2SiO₂ catalytic filter showed higher activity than V₂O_(5)/TiO₂ catalytic filter, but higher differential pressure drops owing to its low air permeability.

홍정민,이수정,부애진 대구효성가톨릭대학교 1996 연구논문집 Vol.53 No.2

In this study, we put the circular skirt in its different direction on the body "Kypis 9A2(S)" developed by MITSUBISH RAYON to find out the influence of properties and stand direction of fabric on silhouette and drape of circular skirt. 1. Although the expansion of material is safe during 2~3days, as the time is passed, the length is changed. Therefore we can think that the property of material that is the weight of organization, the sthrength of thickness, twist, density and temperature, moisture of exterior circumstance are mixed 2. The change is also appeared by the direction of skirt warp. SB of warp direction is better than SS of warp direction in the property of drape but the the length of skirt is more extended. the cased of bias that the length is much appeared is increased by 2cm in A, E, I, M direction, is decreased by more 1cm in C, G, K, O direction. Therefore when we cut the material, we have to comprehend the property of material exactly in order to cover these defects. we also must choose a first cutting and the mothod of sewing.

The CuO/3Al₂O₃ㆍ2Si0₂ catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters for nitrogen oxides removal were prepared by porous mullite(3Al₂O₃ㆍ2Si0₂) support and CuO catalyst deposited on this support to achieve uniformly dispersed CuO deposition, which arc impregnated into the pores of available alumino-silicate ceramic candle filter. The CuO/3Al₂O₃ㆍ2Si0₂ catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters were characterized by XRD, BET, air permeability, pore size, SEM and catalytic tests in the reduction of NOx by NH₃. The observed effects of CuO/3Al₂O₃ㆍ2Si0₂ impregnated ceramic candle tilters in SCR reaction arc as follows: (1) when the content of CuO catalyst increased further, activity of NO increased. (2) NO conversion at first increased with temperature and then decreased at high temperatures (above 400℃), possibly due to the occurrence of the ammonia oxidation reaction. (3) In pilot plant test for 3 months, NO conversion was greater than 90%.

In Korea, there has been an increasing concern on rickettsiosis as one of most prevailing acute febrile illness, since murine typhus and scrub typhus had not been reported for 2 decades until 1986 and thereafter a few studies were reported on these diseases. A microimmunofluorescence test was used to study antibodies to R. typhi and R. tsutsugamushi in urban and rural inhabitants students, and patiants suspected of leptospirosis or rickettsiosis from 1986 to 1987 in Kangwon-do Korea. 43% of inhabitatnts and 17% of students reacted to R. typhi. Only one inhabitant among inhabitants and students reacted to R. tsutsugamushi. Among 169 patients, 43(25%) reacted to R. typhi, 38(22%) to R. tsutsugamushi and 25(15%) to Leptospira interrogans. Sexual rate(male; female) in murine typhus was 1.7:1, that in scrub typhus was 1:2.2 and that in leptospirosis was 1.5;1. The age ditribution of patients with murine typhus was generally even over 20 years old. But 71% of patients with scrub typhus were over 40 years old. Scrub typhus was most prevailing in female over 40 years old. Murine typhus was relatively more prevailing in Choonchun city than rural area as compared with scrub typhus and leptospirosis. Most of scrub typhus occurred in rural area. Most of each disease occurred between September and November (murine typhus; 93%, scrub typhus; 95%, leptospirosis; 84%) with a peak in October. Scrub typhus considerably occurred not only October(58%) but also November(28%). All patients with scrub typhus were immediately diagnosed by antibody when they visited hospital. 53% of patients with murine typhus were diagnosed when they visited hospital within 7 days after onset of illness, and others were done by second sera obtained 8 days after. The patients in whom IgM was seronegative but antibodies of other class were seropsitive by 20 days after onset of illness, were 14% in murine typhus and 26% in scrub typhus. At least those patients were considered to be infected second. Murine typhus and scrub typhus were suggested to be endemic diseases in Kangwon-do as antibodies of inhabitants and characteristics of patients' sera were considered. By serologic finding of patients with scrub typhus in Kangwon-do, Gilliam was 59'% of etiologic strain of scrub typhus, Karp was 41q% and Kato was none. Most scrub typhus occurred in person to be related to agriculture, but murine typhus was not related to job and occurred more in small city than rural area. Rash was scarcely detected in murine typhus and scrub typhus, and eschar was in 50% of scrub typhus only. Serum transaminase elevated in many patients with scrub typhus and murine typhus. Leukocytosis and abnormal finding in chest X-ray were showed in some patients with scrub typhus but were scarcely in murine typhus.

시그너처 기반의 비디오 컷 감지 기법

홍수민,정성환 國立 昌原大學校 精報通信硏究所 1998 精報通信論文集 Vol.2 No.-

This paper presents a novel method of signature-based video cut detection in a transform domain. First, we partition a video frame into m x n cells and extract DC information from DCT coefficients. We construct frame signatures using extracted DC information and then compare neighbor frame signatures to detect a cut. The conventional methods have the problems of complex calculation, exhaustive processing time, and strong space. The proposed method is an effective and simple method which may solve the problems of these conventional methods. In the experiment using real AVI video data, our method shows about 88% cut detection rate.
