This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sodium intake on serum lipids and glucose. 20 young adult women were fed the diets containing 290.5 mEq (high-Na diet) and 51.3 mEq (low-Na diets) Na for 6 days, respectively. Serum lipids, glucose, and other parameters after high-Na diet and low-Na diet were compared. The results would be summarized as follows. The mean age, body weight, height, and blood pressure of the subjects were 22.9$\pm$2.5 years,54.7+6.6 kg, 160.0$\pm$4.8 cm, 110.3$\pm$7.7/67.5$\pm$19.7 mmHg, respectively. Body weight, BMI, and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher at the end of high-Na diet than of low-Na diet (p<0.001 p<0.001, p<0.05). However, there were not significantly different in height and systolic blood pressure between high- and low-Na diet. Serum cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol were not significantly different with Na intakes. Serum triglyceride was significantly higher at the end of high-Na diet than of low- Na diet (p<0.05) Serum apo A-I was significantly decreased in low-Na diet, while apo B was increased (p<0.001, p<0.001). Thrombin time and prothrombin time, blood aggregation time were significantly faster following low-Na diet (p<0.001, p<0.05). There was not significantly different in serum glucose between high- and low-Na diet. However, serum insulin was significantly higher following low-Na diet (p<0.01). It is concluded that diastolic blood pressure, serum triglyceride, serum apo A-I, blood aggregation time were decreased in low-Na diet, while serum apo B and serum insulin were increased. These results suggest that Na-restricted diet affects not only blood Pressure but other biochemical parameters in blood. Therefore, for the patients who need restricted Na diet, it would be suggested that various biochemical changes should be carefully considered along with dietary Na manipulation.

When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by treatment of NaOH solution, the solubility was increased with higher treatment temperature and longer treatment time. Whereas it was decreased in addition of NaHSO$_3$. As the results of electrophoresis in sericin powder obtained by the NaOH treatment, a distinguishable band was not confirmed. Average degree of polymerizations(A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by NaOH solutions were about 19.6∼22.1 and average molecular weight(M.W.) were about 2,200∼2,500. The longer hydrolysis time increased the whiteness of sericin powder. As the results of amino acid analysis, the contents of Thr., Tyr., and Ser. were decreased in NaOH hydrolysis as compared to HCl hydrolysis. In DSC analysis, thermal deformation and pyrolysis peak located at near 230$\^{C}$ and 320$\^{C}$, respectively.

In order to prepare ferroxplana ZnY $(Ba_2Zn_2Fe_{12}O_{22})$, which would be useful for GHz-band communication, the optimum coprecipitation condition of 1 $BaCl_{2-1} Zn(NO_3)_2-6FeCl_3$ in $NaOH-Na_2CO_3$ solution was investigated by use of a new apparatus invented in our laboratory. By freeze-drying and calcining the coprecitated hydroxide-carbonate, the very reactive powder was obtained, from which the synthesis process of ZnY and the other related crystals were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. In results, it was found that the reactive powder containing ZnY as the major component can be prepared by this method, which may be used in manufacturing the various magnetic cores for the microwave communication.

The adsorption of lithium ion onto zeolite was investigated depending on contact time, initial concentration, cation forms, pH, and adsorption isotherms by employing batch adsorption experiment. The zeolite was converted into different forms such $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Al^{3+}$. The zeolite had the higher adsorption capacity of lithium ion in $K^+$ form followed by $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Al^{3+}$ forms, which was in accordance with their elctronegativities. The lithium ion adsorption was explained using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherms and kinetic models. Adsorption rate of lithium ion by zeolite modified in $K^+$ form was controlled by pseudo-second-order and particle diffusion kinetic models. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 17.0 mg/g for zeolite modified in $K^+$ form. The solution pH influenced significantly the lithium ions adsorption capacity and best results were obtained at pH 5-10.

Although numerous studies have shown that cadmium disturbs the normal biological processes in central nervous system, the mechanism of toxicity is not well understood. The present study has investigated the effect of cadmium on oxidative stress, Na$^{+}$K$^{+}$ ATPase activity and the aggregation of amyloid beta peptide ($\beta$-amyloid) in neuronal cell line, HT22 cell. LC$_{5}$ and LC$_{50}$ of cadmium for HT22 cell resulted from MTT assay was 4.1 uM and 9.5 uM, respectively. Cadmium (2 to 8 uM) dose-dependently increased the lipid peroxidation and decreased the content of glutathione. Cadmium 4 uM showed a significant decrease in Na$^{+}$/K $^{+}$ ATPase activity as compared with control group. The aggregation of $\beta$-amyloid was accelerated in a dose-dependent manner by the treatment with 2 to 8 uM cadmium. These results suggest that the neurotoxicity of cadmium can be mediated by the increase in oxidative stress and decrease in Na$^{+}$/K$^{+}$ ATPase activity.se activity.

NaCl-induced hot corrosion behavior of ASTM T22 (Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo), T91 (Fe-9Cr-1Mo), T92 (Fe-9Cr-1.8W-0.5Mo), 347HFG (Fe-18-Cr-11Ni), and 310H (Fe-25Cr-19Ni) steels was studied after spraying NaCl on the surface. During corrosion at $600-800^{\circ}C$ for 50-100 h, thick, non-adherent, fragile, somewhat porous oxide scales formed. All the alloys corroded fast with large weight gains owing to fast scaling and destruction of protective oxide scales. Corrosion rates increased progressively as the corrosion temperature and time increased. Corrosion resistance increased in the order of T22, T91, T92, 347HFG, and 310H, suggesting that the alloying elements of Cr, Ni, and W beneficially improved the corrosion resistance of steels. Basically, Fe oxidized to $Fe_2O_3$, and Cr oxidized to $Cr_2O_3$, some of which further reacted with FeO to form $FeCr_2O_4$ or with NiO to form $NiCr_2O_4$.

Two Au-Ag-Cu-Pd dental casting alloys (Au:12% and 20%) used. The test solutions used 0.9 % NaCl solution (isotonic sodium chloride solution), 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid, and 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid and 0.1 mol $dm^{-3}$ $Na_2S$. The surface of two samples in three sample solutions was not natural discoloration during one year. The alloy containing 12 % gold was easily alloyed and the composition was uniform comparing with the alloy containing 20 % gold. The rest potentials have not a little effect after three months. The kinds of metals could not definitely from the oxidation and reduction waves of metal on the cyclic voltammograms. The dissolutions of gold and palladium were 12 % Au sample in the 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid and 0.1 mol $dm^{-3}$ $Na_{2}S$. The pH of solution had an affect on dissolution of copper, and sulfur ion had an affect on dissolution of silver. The copper dissolved amount from 20 % gold sample was about 26 times comparing with that of 12 % gold sample in the 0.9 % solution containing 1 % lactic acid. Corrosion products were silver chloride and copper chloride in NaCl solution, and silver sulfide and copper sulfide in NaCl solution containing $Na_{2}S$.

The crystal structure of a methanol sorption complex of dehydrated partially Co(II)-exchanged zeolite A, $Co_4Na_4-A{\cdot}6.5CH_3OH$ (a = 12.169(1) $\AA)$, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Pm$\bar3$m at $21(1)^{\circ}C. $Co_4Na_4$-A was dehydrated at $360^{\circ}C\;and\;2{\times}10^{-6}$ torr for 2 days, followed by exposure to about 104 torr of methanol vapor at $22(1)^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The structure was refined to final error indices, $R_1$ = 0.061 and $R_2$ = 0.060 with 147 reflections, for which I > $3\sigma(I).$ In this structure, four $Co^{2+}$ ions and 1.5 $Na^+$ ions per unit cell lie at 6-ring positions: the $Na^+$ ions are recessed 0.44 $\AA$ into the sodalite unit and the Co(II) ions extend ca. 0.55 $\AA$ into the large cavity. 2.5 $Na^+$ ions lie in an 8-oxygen ring plane. The 6.5 methanol molecules are sorbed per unit cell. The 6.5 methanol oxygens, all in the large cavity, associate with the 4 $Co^{2+}$ ions and 2.5 $Na^+$ ions.
