Ceria ($CeO_2$) was used to scavenge free radicals which attack the membrane in the polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) circumstance and to increase the duration of the membrane. In order to improve the electrochemical, mechanical and electrocatalytic characteristics, engineering plastic of the sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) as polymer matrix was prepared in the sulfonation reaction of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and the organic-inorganic blended composite membranes were prepared by sol-gel casting method with loading the highly dispersed ceria and cesium-substituted phophomolybdic acid(Cs-MoPA) with cross-linking agent contents of 0.01mL. In conclusion, CL-SPEEK/$Cs_{(2.5)}$-MoPA/ceria(1%) membrane showed the optimum results such as 0.1095S/cm of proton conductivity at $80^{\circ}C$, 2.906meq./g-dry-membrane of ion exchange capacity and mechanical characteristics, and 49.73MPa of tensile strength which were better than Nafion 117 membrane.

The extract of Ginkgo bibloba (EGb) is a complex mixture of natural products from the Ginkgo leaves and clinically used for the treatment of cerebral and peripheral circulatory disturbances due to its combined activity of several vasoactive principles. In this study we investigated the action of EGb and its mechanism in isolated rabbit corporal smooth muscle to evaluate the possibility of using this material as a pharmacoerecting agent. Strips of rabbit corpus cavernosum were mounted in organ chambers to measure isometric tension. EGb began to exert an relaxing effect at 1 mg/ml in the submaximally precontracted muscle strips with phenylephrine $(PHE,\;5{\times}10^{-6}\;M)$; causing concentration-dependent relaxation with maximal effect at $3{\sim}5\;mg/ml$. That relaxation was partially inhibited by removal of the smooth muscle endothelium or by pretreatment with a NO scavenger, pyrogallol $(10^{-4}\;M)$ or the guanylate cyclase inhibitor, methylene blue $(10^{-4}\;M)$. Pretreatment with EGb (3 mg/ml) inhibited PHE- $(5{\times}10^{-6}\;M)$ or KCI- (20 and 40 mM) induced contraction of muscle strip. In calcium-free high potassium solution EGb depressed the basal tone of the depolarized muscle strip and inhibited calcium-induced contraction when $CaCl_2$ $(10^{-4}\;M)$ was added. These results suggest that EGb relaxes rabbit corpus cavernosal smooth muscle through multiple action mechanisms that include increasing the release of nitric oxide from the corporal sinusoidal endothelium, sequestration of intracytosolic calcium, and maybe a hyperpolarizing action.

In conclusion, CL-SPEEK/Cs-TPA/ceria (1%) membrane showed the optimum results such as 0.130 S/cm of proton conductivity at $80^{\circ}C$, 2.324 meq./g-dry-membrane of ion exchange capacity and mechanical characteristics, and 65.03 MPa of tensile strength which were better than Nafion 117 membrane.

The formation and dissociation rates of $Ce^{3+}$ Complexes of the 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-dioxacyclooctadecane-NN', N",N"'-tetraacetic acid (1), 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-dioxacyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N"'-tetramethylacetic acid (2), and 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-dioxacyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N"'-tetrapropionic acid (3) have been measured by the use of stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Observations were made at 25.0±0.1 ℃ and at an ionic strength of 0.10 M $NaClO_4$. The complexation of $Ce^{3+}$ ion with 1 and 2 proceeds through the formation of an intermediate complex $(CeH_3L^{2+})^*$ in which the $Ce^{3+}$ ion is incompletely coordinated. This may then lead to be a final product in the rate-determining step. Between pH 4.76 and 5.76, the diprotonated $(H_2L^{2-})$ from is revealed to be a kinetically active species despite of its low concentration. The stability constants $(logK(CeH_3L^{2+}))$ and specific water-assisted rate constants $(k_{OH})$ of intermediate complexes have been determined from the kinetic data. The dissociation reactions of $Ce^{3+}$ complexes of 1, 2, and 3 were investigated with $Cu^{2+}$, ions as a scavenger in acetate buffer. All complexes exhibit acid-independent and acid-catalyzed contributions. The effect of buffer and $Cu^{2+}$ concentration on the dissociation rate has also been investigated. The ligand effect on the dissociation rate of $Ce^{3+}$ complexes is discussed in terms of the side-pendant arms and the chelate ring sizes of the ligands.

The removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in aqueous solution by coupled electro-oxidation and Fe(II) activated persulfate oxidation process was investigated. The electrochemical oxidation was performed using carbon sheet electrode and persulfate using Fe(II) ion as an activator. The oxidation efficiency was investigated by varying current density (2 - 10 mA/㎠), electrolyte (Na2SO4) concentration (10 - 100 mM), persulfate concentration (5 - 20 mM), and Fe(II) concentration (10 - 20 mM). The 2,4-D removal efficiency was in the order of Fe(II) activated persulfate-assisted electrochemical oxidation (Fe(II)/PS/ECO, 91%) > persulfate-electrochemical oxidation (PS/ECO, 51%) > electro-oxidation (EO, 36%). The persulfate can be activated by electron transfer in PS/ECO system, however, the addition of Fe(II) as an activator enhanced 2,4-D degradation in the Fe(II)/PS/ECO system. The 2,4-D removal efficiency was not affected by the initial pHs (3 - 9). The presence of anions (Cl- and HCO3-) inhibited the 2,4-D removal in Fe(II)/PS/ECO system due to scavenging of sulfate radical. Scavenger experiment using tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and methanol (MeOH) confirmed that although both sulfate (SO4•-) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals existed in Fe(II)/PS/ECO system, hydroxyl radical (SO4•-) was the predominant radical.

본 연구에서는 호두박 분획층의 항산화 활성을 검색하기 위해 MeOH, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, BuOH 그리고 $H_2O$ 분획으로 추출하여 수행하였고, 각 분획층의 산화적 세포손상과 지질 과산화의 방지 효과를 in vitro에서 확인하였다. 그 결과 호두박의 free radical (DPP보 radical) 소거 활성은 EtOAc층에서 가장높게 나타났고, 활성산소종 억제율과 peroxynitrite $(ONOO^-)$ 소거 활성은 $CH_2Cl_2$층을 제외한 모든 분획층에서 높게 나타났다. 신피질 절편에 t-BHP의 처리 시 LDH의 방출과 지질과 산화를 증가시켰고 이러한 변화는 호두의 MeOH, EtOAc, n-BuOH 분획에 의해서 완전하게 방지되었다. 이러한 결과는 호두 추출물이 t-BHP에 의한 신장 세포 손상에 효과적이고 이러한 효과는 항산화력에 의한 것으로 추측된다. 또한 이러한 결과는 호두 추출물에서 많은 질병의 원인이 되고 있는 산화적 스트레스를 방지할 수 있는 효과적인 약물 개발의 가능성을 시사한다

본 연구에서는 $NaNO_2$ 모델계와 배추에 함유된 아질산염에 대한 9종류 산채들의 아질산염 소거 작용 및 아질산염 소거 작용을 가진 산채들의 혼합물을 함유한 김치(MWV)의 뇌신경세포 사멸 억제 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 아질산염 소거 작용은 모든 시료에서 pH 4.2에서보다 pH 1.2에서 높았고, 다래순 추출물과 참취 추출물(AS)은 pH 1.2에서 90% 이상 아질산염 소거 작용을 나타내었다. AS, 더덕, 잔대, 도라지 및 민들레 추출물들(CL, AT, PG, TO)은 pH 4.2에서 다른 추출물보다 아질산염 소거 작용이 높았다. CL, AT, PG 및 TO는 배추에 함유된 아질산염에 대해 높은 아질산염 소거 작용을 가지고 있었다. 더하여 항산화 및 산화적 스트레스에 의한 뇌신경세포 사멸에 대한 MWV의 영향을 사람의 뇌 신경모세포종 SK-N-SH 세포 내에서 연구하였다. MWV 추출물은 SK-N-SH 세포에서 $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 세포 사멸과 ROS 생성을 약화시켰다. MWV 추출물은 일반김치 추출물과 비교하여 현저하게 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거 작용을 보여주었다. MWV 추출물은 항산화 효과에 의해 산화적 스트레스($H_2O_2$)에 대항하여 뇌신경세포 사멸 억제 효과를 가지고 있었다.

1,4,7,10-tetraaza13,16-dioxacyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N'"-tetraacetic acid (1), 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-dioxactclootadecane-N,N',N",N'"-tramethylacetic acid (2), 및 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-dixacyclooc-tedecane-N,N',N",N'"-tetrapropionic acid (3)와 $Zn^{2+}$ 착물의 형성 및 해리 속도를 멈춤-흐름법 및 분광학적방법으로 측정하였다. 측정 조건을 온도 25.0$\pm$0.1 $^{\circ}C$ 및 이온강도 0.10 M NaClO4 이었다. $Zn^{2+}$이온과 1과 2의 형성 반응은 빠르게 중간 생성물($ZnH_3L^+$)를 형성한다. 여기서 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온은 부분적으로 배위되어 있고 속도 결정 단계는 최종 생성물이었다. pH범위 4.76-5.76에서, 2가 양성자($H_2L^{2-}$) 형태가 매우 낮은 농도임에도 불구하고 속도론적으로 활성화종임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 중간체 착물의 안정도 상수(log$K_{(ZnH_3L^+)}$)와 고유 물분자-보조 속도상수(KOH)가 속도론적 자료로부터 계산되었다. $Zn^{2+}$이온과 1,2, 및 3의 해리 반응은 아세테이트 완충 용액 하에서 청소군 $Cu^{2+}$ 이온을 이용하여 측정하였다. 모든 착물의 해리 반응은 산-무관 및 산-촉매 반응으로 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. $Zn^{2+}$ 착물의 해리 속도에 영향을 미치는 완충 용액 및 $Cu^{2+}$농도의 효과를 알아보았으며, 아울러 리간드 효과를 곁가지에 매달려있는 치환기와 킬레이트 고리크리로 논하였다.
