주입법을 이용하여 AOT 역미셀 용액에 가용화된 BSA를 과잉 수용액으로 역추출할 때 효율에 영향을 미치는 요인들 에 대하여 조사하였다. 특히 수용액의 pH, 수용액에 가한 염 의 종류와 농도, 알코올의 종류에 따른 영향을 검토하였다. 더하여, 역추출된 BSA의 CD 스펙트럼을 원래의 BSA의 CD 스펙트럼과 비교하여 추출공정 중에 발생하는 구조적 변화를 결정하였다. KCI이나 NaCI과 같은 1: 1염을 수용액에 첨가하 면 BSA의 등전점 이상의 pH에서는 거의 100% 역추출 효율을 보였다. 이것은 첨가된 염에 의하여 유발되는 역미셀과 단백질 간의 전기적 상호작용의 변화에 기인한 것으로 추측 된다 $CaCl_2$ 과 $MgCl_2$, 와 같은 1:2염의 경우에는 20% 이하의 역추출 효율을 보였다. 1가 염과 2가 염의 경우 각각 pH=7 과 pH=8에서 최고의 효율을 보였다 표면활성시약으로써 알 코올을 침가하는 경우에는 역추출 효율이 향상됨을 보였다. 과잉 수용액으로 추출된 BSA의 CD 스펙트럼으로부터 추출 공정 중에는 특이할 만한 구조적 변성은 관찰되지 않았으며, 특정된 추출조건에서는 원래의 단백질 보다 높은 활성을 보이기도 하였다.

The effects of aqueous extract of Schizandra Chinensis Fruit (AESC) on cadmium-induced changes of monoamine neurotransmitters in the different brain regions of adult rats were investigated. Male rats were received intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of CdCl2 (0.6 mg/kg/d) for 21 days and sacrificed 7 days after the last administration. Concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) in striatum and serotonin (5-HT), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in cortex were measured by HPLC. There were significant decreases of NE, DA, 5-HT and 5-HIAA in Cd intoxicated rats (P < 0.05), while pretreatment with AESC (20 mg/kg/d or 60 mg/kg/d, p.o., 30 min before $CdCl_2$) greatly inhibited the decrease of monoamine transmitters, respectively (P < 0.05). Also, AESC significantly increased the reduction of glutathione contents and superoxide dismutase activities in cortex induced by $CdCl_2$. These results suggest that AESC ameliorates Cd-induced depletion of monoamine neurotransmitters in brain through its antioxidant activity.

CdSe nanoparticles were prepared by chemical solution methods using $CdCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ (or $Cd(NO_3)_ 2{\cdot}4H_2O$) and $Na_2SeSO_3$. The characteristics of CdSe nanoparticles were controlled by the react ion time, reaction temperature and reaction method as well as the surfactants. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) was used as a capping agent to control the chemical reactions in aqueous solution. Polyvinylalcohol(PVA) was used as a templet in sono-chemical method. CdSe nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solution showed homogeneous size distribution with relatively stable surface. CdSe nanoparticles synthesized in non-aqueous solution containing diethanolamine(DEA) showed the structure transformation from cubic to hexagonal as the reduction temperature increased from 80 to $160^{\circ}C$. Core shell CdSe was synthesized by sono-chemical method. Characteristics of CdSe nanoparticles were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy(TEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), x-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectra, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and photoluminescence spectra spectroscopy(PL). This paper presents simple routes to prepare CdSe nanoparticles for solar cell applications.

Effect of cadmium (Cd) intoxication on renal acid-base regulation was studied in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Cd intoxication was induced by subcutaneous injections of $CdCl_2$ at a dose of 2 mg Cd/kg/day for $3{\sim}4$ weeks. In Cd-intoxicated animals, arterial pH, $PCO_2$ and plasma bicarbonate concentration decreased, showing a metabolic acidosis. Urine pH and urinary bicarbonate excretion increased and titratable acid excretion decreased with no change in ammonium excretion. In renal cortical brush-border membrane vesicles derived from Cd-exposed animals, the $Na^+/H^+$ antiporter activity was significantly attenuated. These results indicate that chronic exposures to Cd impair the proximal tubular mechanism for $H^+$ secretion (i.e., $Na^+/H^+$ antiport), leading to a metabolic acidosis.

We investigated if Chlorella vulgaris (CV) has protective effects on cadmium (Cd) induced liver damage in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Forty rats, aged 5 weeks old and weighed 90-110g, were divided into a control (with Cd free water), 50 ppm of $CdCl_2$ in drinking water treated groups (Chlorella 0% diet group (Cd/CV0%), Chlorella 5% diet group (Cd/CV5%) or Chlorella 10% diet group (Cd/CV10%). All the rats had freely access to water and diet for 8 weeks. The results show that body weight gain and relative liver weight had significantly lower in Cd/CV0%-treated group than in Cd/CV-treated groups. Hepatic Cd contents showed significantly less by feeding CV (P<0.05). Cd/CV0%-treated rats had significantly (P<0.05) higher hepatic T-MTs, and Cd-MTs concentrations, compared to Cd/CV5% or Cd/CV10% treated rats. The MT I/II mRNA was expressed in the liver of all experimental rats. Its expression was more increased in Cd/CV5%- or Cd/CV10%-treated rats, compared to control and Cd-treated rats. Thus, this study suggested that CV would have a protective effect on Cd-treated liver injury by the reduction of Cd concentrations and stimulation of Cd-MT binds in the liver. However, more studies are needed to identify the proper mechanism of CV and liver toxicity.

Pyroprocessing at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) consists of pretreatment, electroreduction, electrorefining and electrowinning. SFR (Sodium Fast Reactor) fuel is prepared from the electrowinning process which is composed of LCC (Liquid Cadmium Process) and Cd distillation et al. LCC is an electrochemical process to obtain actinides from spent fuel. In order to recover actinides inert anodes such as carbon material are used, where chlorine gas ($Cl_2$) evolves on the surface of the carbon material. And, stainless steel (SUS) crucible should be installed in large-scale electrowinning system. Therefore, the effect of chlorine on the SUS material needs to be studied. LiCl-KCl-$UCl_3$-$NdCl_3$-$CeCl_3$-$LaCl_3$-$YCl_3$ salt was contained in 2 kinds of electrolytic crucible having an inner diameter of 5cm, made of an insulated alumina and an SUS, respectively. And, three kinds of electrodes such as cathode, anode, reference were used for the electrochemical experiments. Both solid tungsten (W) and LCC were used as cathodes. Cd of 45 g as the cathode material was contained in alumina crucibles for the deposition experiments, where the crucible has an inner diameter of 3 cm. Glassy carbon rod with the diameter of 0.3 cm was employed as an anode, where shroud was not used for the anode. A pyrex tube containing LiCl-KCl-1mol% AgCl and silver (Ag) wire having a diameter of 0.1cm was used as a reference electrode. Electrodeposition experiments were conducted at $500^{\circ}C$ at the current densities of $50{\sim}100mA/cm^2$. In conclusion, Fe ions were produced in the salt during the electrodeposition by the reaction of chlorine evolved from the anode and Fe of the SUS crucible and thereby LCC system using SUS crucible showed very low current efficiencies compared with the system using the insulated alumina crucible. Anode shroud needs to be installed around the glassy carbon not to influence surrounding SUS material.

Diethnao lamine(DEA)을 함유한 수용액을 ultrasonic irradiation에 의하여 CdSe 반도체 양자점을 제조하였고 제조된 양자점의 광학적 성질을 조사하였다. CdSe 양자점 제조시 카드뮴을 제공하는 물질로는 $CdCl_2{\cdot}2.5H_2O$를, 셀레늄을 제공하는 물질로는 Se powders를 $Na_2SO_3$ 수용액에서 $90^{\circ}C$, 1시간 reflux 한 $Na_2SeSO_3$를 사용하였다. 상온에서 고출력의 초음파 조사 (20kHz, $60Wcm^{-2}$)에 의한 CdSe반도체 양자점을 얻기 위하여 초음파 시간을 각각 변화시켰고 XRD, UV-Vis, PL, TEM, XPS론 사용하여 CdSe 나노 입자의 특성을 분석하였다. CdSe흡수스펙트럼을 분석한 결과 450-640nm범위에서 양자점 형성에 의한 엑시톤 흡수 봉우리가 관찰되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 초음파 조사시간을 5분, 15분, 30분으로 증가시킴에 따라 505nm, 525nm, 545nm로서 엑시톤의 흡수 파장이 장파장 쪽으로 이동함을 확인함으로써 초음파 조사시간에 따라 CdSe 양자점의 크기를 변화시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

CdSe hollow sphere with average size of about 30-50 nm was synthesized from the mixed solution of cadmium chloride $(CdCl_2)$, sodium selenosulfate $(Na_2SeSO_3)$ and ethylenediamine(EDA, $H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$) at room temperature. The molar ratio of EDA to $Cd^{2+}$ showed the most significant effect on the morphology of CdSe hollow sphere. This paper will present and discuss the possible formation mechanism of CdSe hollow sphere based on the observation of morphological changes.

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the removal of Cd(II) as a heavy metal from wastewater using armchair carbon nanotube, boron nitride nanotube and silicon carbide nanotubes under applied electric field. The system contains an aqueous solution of $CdCl_2$ as a heavy metal and a (7,7) nanotube as a nanostructured membrane, embedded in a silicon nitride membrane. An external electric field was applied to the considered system for the removal of $Cd^{2+}$ through nanotubes. The simulation results show that in the same conditions, considered armchair nanotubes were capable to remove $Cd^{2+}$ from wastewater with different ratios. Our results reveal that the removal of heavy metals ions through armchair carbon, boron nitride and silicon carbide nanotubes was attributed to the applied electric field. The selective removal phenomenon is explained with the calculation of potential of mean force. Therefore, the investigated systems can be recommended as a model for the water treatment.
