Decomposition behavior of $ferro-Si_3N_4$was investigated with varying temperature and holding time in mud components for high temperature refractory applications. Porosities gradually increased with increasing temperature and holding time due to the carbothermal reduction of $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$. Silicon monoxide (SiO) as a intermediate resulted from evaporation of $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$ reacted with C sources to generate needle-like ${\beta}-SiC$ and Fe in $Si_3N_4$ acted as a catalyst in order to enhance growth of SiC grain with the preferred orientation. SiC generation yield increased with increasing holding time, all of the $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$ affected on SiC formation up to 2h. However, SiC generation was only dependent on residual $SiO_2$ over 2h, because the carbothermal reduction reaction of $Si_3N_4$ was no longer possible at that time.

Steel is generally not corrosion resistant to water with formation of non protective rusts on its surface. Rusts are composed of iron oxides such as $Fe_3O_4$, $\alpha-$, $\beta-$, $\gamma-$and ${\delta}-FeOOH$. However, steel, particularly weathering steel containing small amounts of Cu, Ni and Cr etc., shows good corrosion resistance against rural, industrial or marine environment. Its corrosion rate is exceedingly small as compared with that of carbon steel. According to the exposure test results undertaken in outdoor environments, the atmospheric corrosion rate for weathering steel is only 1 mm for a century. Atmospheric corrosion for steels proceeds under alternate dry and wet conditions. Dry condition is encountered on steel surface on fine or cloudy days, and wet condition is on rainy or snowy days. The reason why weathering steel shows superior atmospheric corrosion resistance is due to formation of corrosion protective rusts on its surface under very thin water layer. The protective rusts are usually composed of two layer rusts; the upper layer is ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ termed as lepidocrocite, and inner layer is nano-particle ${\alpha}-FeOOH$ termed as goethite. This paper is aimed at elucidating the atmospheric corrosion mechanism for steel in comparison with corrosion in bulky water environment by use of empirical data.The summary is as follows: 1. No corrosion protective rusts are formed on steel in bulky water. 2. Atmospheric corrosion for steel is the corrosion under wetting and drying conditions. Corrosion and passivation occur alternately on steel surface. Steel, particularly weathering steel with small amounts of alloying elements such as Cu, Ni and Cr etc. enhances forming corrosion protective rusts by passivation.

Extract of Acanthopanax senticosus has recently been demonstrated to possess significant antidiabetic potential, in accordance with the traditional use of this plant as an antidiabetic natural health product. The present study evaluated the effects of fermented extract (FE) of this plant on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, glucose uptake, and streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes model. A 3 h pretreatment with FE prevented $IL-1{\beta}$ and $IFN-{\gamma}$ toxicity in isolated rat islets. However, it did not affect insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes. In addition, pretreatment of mice with FE blocked the destruction of streptozotocin-induced islets and the development of type 1 diabetes. FE reduced blood glucose level, increased insulin secretion, and improved glucose tolerance in streptozotocin-treated mice, whereas nonfermented extract (NFE) had moderate effects. Immunohistochemical staining for insulin clearly showed that pretreatment with FE blocked the STZ-induced islets destruction and restored the number of islet cells that secreted insulin to the level of the control. Although the active principles and their mechanisms of action remain to be identified, FE may nevertheless represent a novel complementary therapy and a source of novel therapeutic agents against type 1 diabetes mellitus.

A 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ sample was prepared by mechanical milling under $H_2$ (reactive mechanical grinding). Its hydriding and dehydriding properties were then examined. Activation of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ sample was not required. At n=1, the sample absorbed 3.11 wt% H for 2.5 min, 3.55 wt% H for 5 min, 3.86 wt% H for 10 min, and 4.23 wt% H for 30 min at 593K under 12 bar $H_2$. At n=1, the sample desorbed 0.17 wt% H for 5 min, 0.74 wt% H for 10 min, 2.03 wt% H for 30 min, and 2.81 wt% H for 60 min at 593K under 1.0 bar $H_2$. The XRD pattern of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ after reactive mechanical grinding showed Mg, ${\beta}-MgH_2$ and small amounts of ${\gamma}-MgH_2$, $NbH_2$, $MgF_2$ and $NbF_3$. The XRD pattern of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ dehydrided at n=3 revealed Mg, ${\beta}-MgH_2$, a small amount of MgO and very small amounts of $MgH_2$ and $NbH_2$. The 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ had a higher initial hydriding rate and a larger quantity of hydrogen absorbed for 60 min than the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% MnO and the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $Fe_2O_3$, which were reported to have quite high hydriding rates and/or dehydriding rates. The 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ had a higher initial dehydriding rate (after an incubation period) and a larger quantity of hydrogen desorbed for 60 min than the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% MnO and the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $Fe_2O_3$.

Ti metal has superior mechanical properties along with biocompatibility, but it still has the problem of bio-inertness thus forming weaker bond in bone/implant interface and long term clinical performance as orthopaedic and dental devices are restricted for stress shielding effect. On the other hand, despite the excellent biodegradable behavior as being an integral constituent of the natural bone, the mechanical properties of ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate $(Ca_3(PO_4)_2;\;{\beta}-TCP)$ ceramics are not reliable enough for post operative load bearing application in human hard tissue defect site. One reasonable approach would be to mediate the features of the two by making a composite. In this study, ${\beta}$-TCP/Ti ceramic-metal composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering in inert atmosphere to inhibit the formation of $TiO_2$. Composites of 30 vol%, 50 vol% and 70 vol% ${\beta}$-TCP with Ti were fabricated. Detailed microstructural and phase characteristics were investigated by FE-SEM, EDS and XRD. Material properties like relative density, hardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus etc. were characterized. Cell viability and biocompatibility were investigated using the MTT assay and by examining cell proliferation behavior.

본 연구는 구아바 잎 추출물의 항산화 성분 분석 및 tyroinase와 elastase 저해 효과에 관한 조사를 수행하였다. 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성 $(FSC_{50})$은 50% 에탄올 추출물$(7.05{\mu}g/mL)$ < ethyl acetate 분획 (3.36) < 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획 (3.24) 순으로 증가하였다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 구아바 잎 추출물의 총 항산화능은 50% 에탄을 추출물$(OSC_{50},\;2.17{\mu}g/mL)$ (ethyl acetate분획(0.64) < aglycone분획(0.39) 순으로, aglycone 분획에서 가장 큰 환성을 나타내었다. 구아바 잎 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 억제 효과를 측정하였다. 구아바 잎 추출물의 경우 $1{\sim}10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 광용혈을 억제하였다. 특히 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획은 $1{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 107.5 min으로 매우 큰 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. 구아바 잎 추출물 중 ethyl acetate 분획의 당 제거 반응 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획은 TLC와 HPLC (360 nm)에서 1개의 피이크로 나타났으며, 그 성분이 quercetin 임을 확인하였다. 구아바 잎 추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획의 TLC 크로마토그램은 5개의 띠로 분리되었고, HPLC 크로마토그램도 5개의 피이크를 나타내었다. TLC와 HPLC의 띠와 피이크를 확인한 결과, HPLC의 5개의 피이크는 용리순서로 피이크 1 (10.32 %)은 quercetin 3-O-gentobioside, 피이크 2 (13.30 %)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (isoquercitin), 피이크 3 (11.34 %)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-galactoside (hyperin), 피이크 4 (19.70%)는 quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinoside (guajavarin) 피이크 5 (45.33%)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-L-rhamnoside (quercitrin)로 확인되었다. 미백 및 주름억제 효과측정으로는 각파 tyrosinase 및 elastase의 활성 저해 효과를 측정하였다. Tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과$(IC_{50})$는 50% 에탄올 추출물 $(149.67{\mu}g/mL)$ (ethyl acetate분획(30.67) < aglycone 분획(17.10) 순으로 나타났으며, elastase의 활성 저해 효과 $(IC_{50})$는 50% 에탄올 추출물$(6.60{\mu}g/mL)$ < aglycone 분획(5.66) < ethyl acetate 분획(3.44) 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 구아바 잎 추출물리 $^1O_2$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써 그리고 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, 구아바 잎 성분에 대한 분석과 ethyl acetate분획의 당 제거 실험 후 얻어진 aglycone분획의 elastase 저해활성은 구아바 잎 추출물이 주름개선 기능성 화장품원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

본 논문에서는 오렴매 추출물의 항산화, 성분 분석 및 elastase 저해 효과를 알아보았다. 추출물의 free radical(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)은 50% ethanol 추출물(114.3 ${\mu}g/mL$)$Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 오렴매 추출물의 총항산화능은 aglycone 분획($OSC_{50},\;3.30{\mu}g/mL$)<50% ethanol 추출물(1.21)$1{\sim}25{\mu}g/mL$)으로 광용혈을 억제하였다. 특히 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획은 25 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 175.05 min으로 매우 큰 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. 오렴매 추출물 중 ethyl acetate 분획의 당 제거 반응 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획은 TLC에서 2개의 띠로 분리되었으며, HPLC 실험(360 nm)에서 2개의 피이크로 분리되었다. 분리된 2가지 성분은 luteolin, apigenin이었으며, 그들의 성분비는 각각 47.50%, 52.50%로 나타났다. 오렴매 추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획의 TLC 크로마토그램은 3개의 띠로 분리되었고, HPLC 크로마토그램은 4개의 피이크를 보여주었다. TLC와 HPLC의 띠와 피이크를 확인한 결과, HPLC의 4개의 피이크는 용리순서로 peak 1(조성비 11.14%)은 luteolin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, peak 2(15.38%)는 apigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside, peak 3(23.55%)는 luteolin, peak 4(49.92%)는 apigenin로 확인되었다. Aglycone 분획은 elastase 저해활성($IC_{50}$)이 70.5 ${\mu}g/mL$로 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과들은 오렴매 추출물이 $^1O_2$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써 그리고 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, 성분 분석과 이와 같은 항산화 활성을 통하여 화장품 원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Jumonji domain-containing proteins (JMJD) catalyze the oxidative demethylation of a methylated lysine residue of histones by using $O_2$, ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate, vitamin C, and Fe(II). Several JMJDs are induced by hypoxic stress to compensate their presumed reduction in catalytic activity under hypoxia. In this study, we showed that an H3K27me3 specific histone demethylase, JMJD3 was induced by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-$1{\alpha}/{\beta}$ under hypoxia and that treatment with Clioquinol, a HIF-$1{\alpha}$ activator, increased JMJD3 expression even under normoxia. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses showed that both HIF-$1{\alpha}$ and its dimerization partner HIF-$1{\beta}$/Arnt occupied the first intron region of the mouse JMJD3 gene, whereas the HIF-$1{\alpha}/{\beta}$ heterodimer bound to the upstream region of the human JMJD3, indicating that human and mouse JMJD3 have hypoxia-responsive regulatory regions in different locations. This study shows that both mouse and human JMJD3 are induced by HIF-1.

The thermal properties and crystallization behavior of calcium phosphate glass fabricated using eggshell were examined. Nature eggshell has several impurities in the main component of $CaCO_3$. To manufacture calcium phosphate glass, washed eggshell was dissolved in aqua-regia while adding a solution of isopropyl alcohol, D. I. water and phosphoric acid. The calcined precursor was melted at $1000^{\circ}C$, and the glass ($T_g$ : $540^{\circ}C$) was crystallized at $620{\sim}640^{\circ}C$, which temperature range is relatively low compared to the crystallization temperature of other general types of calcium phosphate glass. The calcium phosphate glass using eggshell was successfully crystallized without any additional nucleating agents due to the multiple effects of impurities such as $Fe_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, SrO and $SiO_2$ in the eggshell. The main crystalline phase was ${\beta}-Ca(PO_3)_2$ and a biocompatible material, hydroxyapatite, was also observed. The crystallization process was completed under the condition of a holding time of only 1 h at the low temperature.
